After confirming the peting teams, both teams entered the petition room under the guidance of the staff.
The scene in the venue shifted, and the holographic projections of the two teams appeared on the stage.
Since the Crowd of Misfits team was the one being challenged, they had the home advantage, and they got to choose the map for the first solo match.
"What map should we choose for the first round?"
Although Wang Yu was the captain of the Crowd of Misfits team, he was a straightforward and somewhat simple-minded person.
Wang Yu knew that the individual bat strength of the Crowd of Misfits team was significantly inferior to that of other teams. Therefore, choosing a map was not something to be taken lightly, so he turned to seek Fearless's opinion.
After all, Fearless was the tactical advisor of the Quan Zhen Sect.
"petitive Arena!" Fearless said confidently. "The chances of losing points later are too high; we can't afford to give away any points we can secure."
"Alright!" Wang Yu nodded and chose the petitive Arena.
When the map on the stage transformed into the arena, the audience was once again astonished.
"The petitive Arena? Are they going to rely on pure strength?"
"Awesome! So bold! I didn't expect the Crowd of Misfits team to be so daring."
Even the two mentators looked bewildered: "Wait, when did the Crowd of Misfits team bee this bold?"
Indeed, based on the previous style of the Crowd of Misfits team, they would typically choose a larger map when playing at home. After all, given the players' strength, simply preventing the opponent from scoring would count as a win. However, this time they chose such a confrontational map as the petitive Arena, which surprised everyone.
"Qingxue, it's all on you for the first match!"
After selecting the map, Fearless turned to greet Yang Nuo.
As mentioned earlier, there were plenty of opportunities to lose points later, so they must not lose any points they could secure now.
"Mm!"
As a martial artist, Yang Nuo was always decisive. Upon receiving Fearless's mand, she responded gently and directly teleported to the arena.
"An archer? And a female archer?"
As Yang Nuo stepped onto the stage, everyone was pletely baffled by what the Crowd of Misfits team was thinking.
The petitive Arena was the smallest map in the game, while the archer, being a long-range class, was heavily reliant on the map's size.
It is well known that archers typically rely on terrain and speed to kite their opponents, continually dealing damage until they wear them down. On the petitive Arena, an archer's speed advantage was effectively cut by more than half.
In such a small area, there was little opportunity to utilize terrain, let alone kite effectively.
Moreover, this archer was a female.
In gaming, female players and female drivers often share a derogatory connotation.
This is not to say that players look down on women, but in a holographic simulation game, the bat level of players correlates significantly with their real-life fighting abilities. In this regard, female players typically have a slightly lower bat level pared to male players.
While past esports leagues featured many female players, this time, they were extremely rare.
The Crowd of Misfits team inexplicably chose a confrontational map and then threw a female archer into the mix; could it be that they were just giving away points?
Some players had already begun to speculate conspiracies, even spreading rumors that the Crowd of Misfits team had taken money from the Freedom team to deliberately lose points.
It is always the case in games that some players are both foolish and malicious, and given the previous style of the Crowd of Misfits team, some gullible individuals truly believed it.
...
The player from the Freedom team stepping onto the stage was an assassin, whose rather childish name was "Invisible Man".
Although the name sounded silly, he was quite famous in the esports scene.
Not every assassin is an "Invisible Man
