The King's ReturnChapter 281

translator: Oyen

The finals was still a BO3 system. According to the rules of the league, in the first two rounds of the game, both sides had a chance to choose the mode and map at home, the third game was a mandatory mode, random map, so as to ensure the fairness of the game. 7tNIc2

At this moment, the eyes of all the audience, professional players and commentators were focused on the big stage, and everyone was even more nervous than the players of both teams.

Ye Chao pinched the sweat in the palm of his hand and commented. “Dynasty team pulled back a very dangerous game and dragged the game into the tiebreaker game. The tiebreaker game tests not only the overall strength of both teams, but also the psychological quality of the players! If the psychological quality of the players is not strong enough, it will be easy to make mistakes in such a key game.”

Wu Zewen added. “At this stage, both sides will try their best to win the championship. No one wants to lose. Players at this time of mind must be calm, don’t think too much about the results of the game.”

Liu Chuan smiled and looked at him. “When Zewen was a newcomer, he was not nervous in the finals. He was calmer than me.” Hna1yb

“Because I will forget all the previous scores at the beginning of the game and just think about what I should do next.” Wu Zewen replied, “whether it’s the final or the regular season, every game is a new start. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose in front of it. Just play a new game.”

Ye Chao agreed. “That’s right, don’t bring your previous emotions to the next game. It’s easy to say, but it may be difficult to do it. We can see from the live broadcast screen that most of the expressions of the players on both sides are still relatively relaxed, Qin Mo… Well, he’s been expressionless and calm. I can’t tell if he’s nervous.”

“He should not be nervous, after all, he has experienced so many things, his heart is very strong, but also very firm.” Wu Zewen confidently replied.

Liu Chuan nodded in agreement. “En, I also believe Qin Mo can hold up the scene at a critical moment. The tiebreaker game is a treasure hunt mode that Mojue is good at, but the winning rate of Dynasty team in the treasure hunt mode is also very high. Both sides had never fought each other in this mode. The key depends on what map the system randomly generates.”

“Both of you feel, if both sides fight each other in treasure hunt mode, which side’s lineup is more favorable?” Ye Chao asked.

Wu Zewen answered. “There are two assassins, Sang Jun and Wen Hua in Dynasty team, who could both use the sect’s stealth qinggong, and the meat shield, Chu Jianxin is very difficult to kill. If they sent a combination of double assassins, poison master, healer and meat shield in treasure hunt mode, it will be very difficult for Mojue to fight, because the assassins could not be seen after they were invisible with the treasure chest, and as long as the other three players defended, delay the time, let the assassin teammates attack stealthily and grab the treasure chest, the chances of winning would be very high.”

“So, the team with the highest winning rate in the treasure hunt mode should be the team of five assassins?” Ye Chao asked.

Wu Zewen pushed his glasses and carefully analysed. “Theoretically speaking, all five assassins are invisible. First, they search five treasure chests, and then grouping to assassinate and attack, robbing the treasure chest, kept invisible and spread out. The opponent will have a headache.” nXdTBZ

Liu Chuan added. “The lineup mentioned by Zewen can only be achieved in online games. Professional teams will not have so many assassins. A team usually consists of 1-2 assassins. At present, Dynasty lineup seems to be dominant, but Mojue has Zhu Qingyue, a first-class auxiliary and a tacit partner like Han-Mo, who is not afraid of double assassins’ sneak attack.”

After a 1:1 score in the first two rounds, the referee gave the players a long rest time. The commentators dutifully analysed the situation for the third round. The audience were anxiously waiting for the start of the final game. The scene in the soundproof room was broadcast on the big screen. Everyone saw that Qin Mo took a glass of water from Xiao Han’s hand and was drinking slowly.

As Wu Zewen said, his mood at the moment was neither nervous nor excited, but an unprecedented tranquil.

In the first year of his debut, he entered the finals with Wind Colour team led by his master. He was so excited that he didn’t sleep well the night before, and the next day he played the game with panda eyes. He was killed by his opponent because his fingers trembled and made a mistake in the final game, then he was severely scolded by his master. 3CrYeq

It took him only half a year to fall from the god altar.

Too many things happened during those six months. His master retired, he took over as vice captain, broke his finger, dropped the team’s performance, left the league in embarrassment…

In those years when he was an esports player, he won the highest honor of being respected as a champion in the World Competition, and once left suddenly, he was overwhelmed by countless abuse. He actually did not lack a championship, and there were several championship trophies in his family home. He returned to the new game to play the game this time, just trying to fulfill his wish. tKc1hp

Because he didn’t want to leave the stage he had always loved, he plucked up the courage to return.

At this stage, whether he could win the championship or not was not very important to Qin Mo. He just wanted to play this game well and gave a complete explanation to his teammates and fans who had been working hard for a whole year.

Qin Mo’s state of mind was already very relaxed, especially the warm water sent by Xiao Han, which made his mood more placid.

“I am also surprised that god Han grew up in the United States. Shouldn’t he be used to drinking cold water? Every time you go out, you bring a thermos cup, so it’s for this kind of purpose.” Liu Hong made a joke. dOB0dL

Zhu Qingyue glanced at the thermos cup in Qin Mo’s hand and smiled. “God Han is so sweet.”

“Xiao Mo has a cold physique, his hands and feet are always cold, and he is used to drinking warm water. He will have a stomach ache if he drinks cold water.” Xiao Han explained.

Everyone thought: how do you know his hands and feet are cold? Do you often touch it?

Qin Mo glanced at Xiao Han and coughed. “It’s going to be a tiebreaker game. What warm water and cold water do you pay attention to? Shouldn’t you pay attention to the lineup?” YbaFQg

“He he,” Shen He laughed, “We believe that captain will arrange it well!”

Pei Yu echoed. “That’s right, several lineups have been prepared before in the training. Captain Qin just said directly which one to use, and everyone fully cooperated!”

The trust of his teammates made Qin Mo smile, called everyone to come to him, and whispered. “To deal with Dynasty’s double assassins, we will use the unexpected tactics tested during the training match. Everyone will pay attention later…”

The audience soon found that Mojue got together for a meeting, and on Dynasty’s side, Sang Jun also called his teammates together to tell some points for attention. FPaM48

After a ten-minute break, the last round of the finals finally began.

Both sides’ captains sat in the command seat, and the game mode of the third round was undoubtedly ‘Treasure Hunt mode’. The system began to randomly select maps from the map library, after a countdown of ten seconds. The randomly selected map of the system finally appeared on the big screen—— Lava Cave.

It was a cave maze!

This map had bright colours, there were many odd shaped multicolored rocks. The terrain of the cave is rugged and complex, the wide region was like a public square, the narrow place could only allow one player to pass through, and the cave could be divided into three layers vertically. There were rock steps connected between the three layers. With the design of this vertical labyrinth, people who didn’t know the terrain would easily get lost. 3ddkj6

The respawn position of the treasure chests would be scattered around the cave, which would also cause both teams to choose a lot of tactical ideas, whether it was to advance in groups or disperse their own actions, on such a complex map, in addition to tactics, luck would also become a very important factor—— which side of the player’s respawn position was closer to the treasure chest, which side would have a great advantage at the beginning.

Seeing this map, Ye Chao couldn’t help saying. “The system has chosen one of the most difficult treasure hunt’s map. I practiced on this map once and wanted to find all ten treasure chests by myself, 15 minutes game time is simply not enough! I only found two in 15 minutes.”

Wu Zewen replied. “It is not necessary to find all of them. The rule of the treasure hunt mode is that at the end of 15 minutes, which side has more treasure chests will be the winner. There is no stipulation that all ten treasure chests should be taken away. For example, in 15 minutes, one team has three treasure chests, and the other team only finds two, so the winner can also be determined.”

Liu Chuan added. “Both sides certainly want to find as many as possible, but when necessary, they can also give up looking for a treasure chest that is too far away and fight a team battle directly and grab it from the other side.” 0Evdri

Ye Chao nodded. “Let’s take a look at the secret books carried by both sides.”

Since there was no home or away game in the tiebreaker game, the secret book’s banning was no longer the same as the previous games. The commanders of both sides could freely choose secret books from the secret books library and bring them in. In other words, 30 secret books available in the league could be selected, and it was possible that both sides choose the same secret books, which also ensured the fairness of the game to the greatest extent.

After the three-minute preparation time was over, the commanders of both sides finally submitted the lineup——

On Mojue’s side, the three outputs of Qin Mo, Xiao Han and Liu Hong, with Li Muran as healer and Zhu Qingyue’s auxiliary. The five secret books were all control types, group silence, group fear, group immobilization… This was the rhythm of directly fighting a team battle to control the opposite side to death. TCvd7B

On the Dynasty’s side, the lineup was a meat shield, healer, poison master, and double assassins. This was also the most powerful sneak attack lineup in Dynasty’s treasure hunt mode. In terms of secret books, Sang Jun and Wen Hua both bring critical attacks, which were obviously necessary. Get invisible and join hands to kill the other side players to grab the treasure chest and grasp the initiative of the game. The other three bring healing, counter-damage, and release, so as to buy more time for the double assassins.

In one sentence, Liu Chuan spoke about the key point. “Mojue brought the control secret books, because he wanted to open a team battle head-on, but Dynasty wanted to fight a guerrilla war. It will be easier to use sneak attack in a maze map, but I think Qin Mo must guard against the sneak attack of Dynasty, and he should make corresponding preparations.”

At the beginning of the game, both sides’ players were respawned on the map.

Dynasty’s luck was slightly better. Sang Jun happened to have a treasure chest nearby, and he quickly went over to grab it. The other four teammates, including Chu Jianxin, Lin Yao in the second-layer cave, healer Yan Qing, and another assassin, Wen Hua, in the third-layer cave. 4W37tA

Sang Jun marked a gathering symbol, and said. “Xiao Wen came over to find me, and the others joined captain Chu.”

There was no treasure chest near Wen Hua, he just needed to step down to join with Sang Jun, the two assassins could act in an invisible group. The other three, Chu Jianxin also found a treasure chest, while the other two got nothing. In the first two minutes of the game, Dynasty’s players, relying on their understanding of the map, quickly assembled in the maze and found two treasure chests.

This was a good start, because the number of treasure chests on both sides would be updated in real time in the game room, and the number of Mojue’s treasure chests was still 0.

What were Mojue’s players doing? Gy3wk1

Sang Jun was a little confused—— this map was very large, and the three-layers cave labyrinth had complex topography. If they were unlucky and refreshed far away from the treasure chest, it was indeed possible that they would not get the treasure chest for a while. However, after two whole minutes, it didn’t make sense that five players were unlucky enough to respawn in the distance, right?

Sang Jun suddenly became alert, laying down a warning sign and saying. “Attention, everyone, don’t fight when anyone sees Mojue! Xiao Wen went stealthily to investigate with me.”

At the same time, Wu Zewen, the commentator who watched the live broadcast from God’s perspective, carefully noticed a subtle coincidence——

At the beginning, Li Muran respawned in the middle karst cave, Qin Mo and Xiao Han were on the bottom, Zhu Qingyue and Liu Hong were on the upper, and there was a small cave near Qin Mo showing a treasure chest icon, but he did not go to get it, but went straight up the steps. Go to the middle level to find Li Muran. n5ouJt

Similarly, Liu Hong, who was on the top floor, could get the treasure chest after turning on the corridor. Instead of taking it, she jumped directly with qinggong.

As no one went to get the treasure chest, in just a minute, all five of them came to the middle karst cave.

Li Muran was in a group with Zhu Qingyue, Xiao Han went to the left front, Qin Mo went to the front, Liu Hong went to the right, and three players collected the middle layer cave’s treasure chest respectively.

The distribution of treasure chests on this map was: three in the lower layer, three in the upper layer, and four in the middle layer. xqX7R6

——All Mojue’s players came to the middle-level karst cave. Was this going to abandon the upper and lower levels and fight a team battle directly?

In this way, the risk was too great. First of all, the treasure chest of the middle level might have been taken away by Dynasty. Secondly, if Dynasty was not in the middle layer, and avoided Mojue to go to the lower layer and the upper layer to search the treasure chest respectively. The six treasure chests they found would exceed the four that Mojue.

Wu Zewen carefully looked at the action route of Mojue’s players from god’s perspective, and then was shocked to find that——

Although Mojue’s players had been moving, the distance between them and Li Muran and Zhu Qingyue had always been kept at no more than 30 meters. DqY2p4

From a head-up perspective, they were quickly advancing to find the middle-level treasure chests. But from a bird’s-eye perspective, their formation was fanned out with healer and auxiliary as the center. Qin Mo was walking forward, while Xiao Han and Liu Hong quickly scanned the surroundings in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

This formation made Wu Zewen suddenly think of a common thing——

Swinging clock.
