Chapter 145 Each has its own advantages and disadvantages
After a day of torture in mecha training at the Yuheng Military Base, the next day was the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the league team competition.
This year's league is extremely popular in the Empire. It can be said to be the most watched one in the past twenty years. The reason for this can be found in the top five qualifying matches in terms of broadcast volume. Li Moye Military Academy accounts for three of the top five.
The rise of a declining powerful school and the sudden emergence of a genius commander. Although many people complained that the story line of Moye Military Academy was so old-fashioned and felt like they had seen many versions in online novels, in fact, the data gave the most realistic answer.
Everyone just loves to watch this kind of plot.
At today's draw ceremony, there were many fans of Moye Military Academy in the venue. Many of them were old fans who had rekindled their hopes. They dug out old flags with the Moye Military Academy emblem printed on them from their homes and came to the scene. The lavender military flag fluttered in the venue. With the introduction of the commentators, the five military academies of the empire that entered the quarterfinals appeared one after another.
"Long Yuan is leading the charge as usual, and Gu Tingzhi looks much more composed than last year," Professor Zhuang said with emotion. "Watching him compete last year, he also gave us a lot of surprises. He made it to the finals but fell to Chikmelin. Thinking about it now, it's still a pity. I didn't expect Long Yuan to be as strong as we predicted in the qualifying rounds this year."
In fact, among the eight military academies of the empire, Long Yuan had the highest prediction success rate among those who predicted that they would win all three qualifying matches before the game. A full 90% of the audience believed that Long Yuan would win all the matches, while Mo Xie, who later achieved all the wins, had a prediction success rate of only 3%.
"I don't think Long Yuan has become weaker," Colonel Ren continued. "In fact, Long Yuan's overall strength hasn't changed much this year. It's just that the overall level of the league has been raised this year, whether it's the Empire or the Federation."
Professor Zhuang nodded in agreement. "Another thing is that Gu Tingzhi is much calmer now than before, but I find he tends to overthink things and overcomplicate things. In league matches, we just focus on winning or losing, especially now that we've reached the quarterfinals and there won't be any more group stages. I hope Gu Tingzhi can change his mind."
The second group to perform was Imperial Rose. The girls were full of energy and the entire venue seemed to light up as soon as they entered.
Colonel Ren's lips curled up into a smile. "The girls from Cimei are very powerful and capable. In recent years, their performance has declined due to the bias of the game chart. However, this year they broke the previous year's disappointment and entered the quarterfinals. Let's see if they can equal their best result in the league this year and advance to the semifinals."
"I think the most collaborative of the eight military academies is Cimei Military Academy. Their matches are always very dynamic, and whether they win or lose, they can really move the audience's emotions." Professor Zhuang nodded. "I also hope they have better luck in this year's competition, and can play to their strengths and go further."
Cimei walked past, and Jia Xiangying led the students of Dolanston out. She had a serious expression and was unsmiling, which was a stark contrast to her cute and sweet face.
"Doranston..." Colonel Ren sighed slightly. "I've always believed that the students of this military academy have never fully demonstrated their true strength. According to their true strength, they actually have what it takes to win the championship every year, but they just fall short."
Many records within the game are now held by Dolanston, such as the most kills in a single match and the fastest total annihilation. True to their motto, each Dolanston student is born to be extraordinary.
But they are a little too "extraordinary", Dorlanston, and will never cooperate. In fact, this is not only true for Dorlanston and other military academies, but also for the students within Dorlanston.
They wouldn't say they wouldn't listen to the commander's orders; they would. But you're saying they'd die for their teammates? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Giving up a kill target to a teammate in a more convenient position? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"It would be great if their combat coordination could be on par with Thorn Rose's... What a pity." Professor Zhuang shook his head. "But, after all, every military academy student has different circumstances and characteristics. It's normal for each to have strengths and weaknesses. In a sense, the individual combat capabilities of the students at Dorlanston are truly formidable. Many people predict that they will make it to the top four this year."
"That depends on who gets drawn," Colonel Ren continued. "I think if Jia Xiangying is still as easily angered as before, it might not be certain."
What Dolanston needs is a calm commander. After all, the students are all very excited. If the commander gets excited again, it will become a mess just like the last wormhole war.
No one in Dolanston blamed Jia Xiangying during the last wormhole battle, because they generally believed that Jia Xiangying was right and should have been punished for her brother, Long Yuan and Du'e, if only they had come earlier.
Seabuckthorn was the second to last and the last to appear. The one being suppressed was naturally the Moye Military Academy. Guan Chuanjun was unusually nervous and rubbed his hands before walking out, thinking that the camera had not captured him yet. In fact, his hand-rubbing action was seen by everyone.
"... Guan Chuanjun, I think he's a bit of a nerd. One moment he seems very strong, the next moment he seems not so strong." Professor Zhuang suppressed the urge to laugh and said seriously, "Seabuckthorn's overall level is really good. Some people have always said that Dolanston is an evolved version of Seabuckthorn, but that's not quite right. Dolanston's individual combat qualities make up for the overall situation, but he lacks a commander who can control everyone. Seabuckthorn drives the individual combat capabilities of the whole, but the whole cannot control its own commander."
"Sending someone out from Seabuckthorn to pour some cold water on Guan Chuanjun's hot head when necessary is better than anything else." Colonel Ren summarized this.
Guan Chuanjun, who didn't know that the commentator had suggested to cool his brain, quickly entered the scene with Sea Buckthorn. The last "axis", Moye Military Academy, was finally here.
Compared with the opening ceremony, they had the loudest cheers this time.
"Moye Military Academy, I think the advantages and disadvantages of this military academy are very obvious. As the league progresses, it is becoming more and more like a sword drawn from its sheath." Professor Zhuang and Colonel Ren looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Colonel Ren said, "The biggest disadvantage of the Moye Military Academy is their lack of combat experience. However, they were able to reach the quarterfinals with a perfect record this year thanks to their unwavering determination, their strong fighting spirit, their increased mobility, and—"
"Unconditional trust in their genius commander!"
