As we were teleported to the forest map, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. It reminded of the terrain we had in the last match of the Andartha Cup finals. The map's layout was randomly chosen, but the size and positions of the orbs remained consistent. With thick bushes and tall trees, this terrain provided opportunities for ambushes, giving an advantage to those who were skilled in stealth tactics.
My thoughts were interrupted as Elizabeth took charge, issuing her instructions.
"Rol and Beny, head towards the top orb. If you encounter Chu, play defensively and try to buy us so ti. We'll join you after securing the middle orb. If the coast is clear, capture the top orb and rendezvous with us at the middle orb," Elizabeth commanded, her deanor instantly shifting to one of focused determination befitting soone who has hundreds, if not thousands, of team gas under her belt.
"Should I cast haste on everyone?" Beny inquired, seeking confirmation.
"No need for haste right now. Let's conserve our MP. This might turn into a battle of attrition," Elizabeth countered.
That's the right call, I suppose. Casting haste takes a lot of MP, even for a well-built mage. And getting to the orbs earlier than your enemies won't be beneficial that much either since you can only capture the orbs after a certain point of ti elapsed due to an electric field in the arena terrain. This prevents players from cheesing(a ga slang used for tactics that borderline cheating) by using movent skills to capture the orb before the enemy gets there.
"And be very mindful of Chu, don't fight him solo."
"O-okay!"
"I'll dumpster that guy if I see him!"
They both said in unison.
Observing Rol and Beny as they swiftly moved towards the top orb, I could see why Elizabeth had paired them together. Beny, a ti mage, provided valuable support by buffing Rol, who wielded a giant claymore. The speed buffs from Beny helped counteract the sluggishness of heavy weapon users like Rol, ensuring optimal mobility on the battlefield. anwhile, Rol's heavy-hitting attacks compensated for the ti mage's lack of high DPS.
Elizabeth's battle plan demonstrated her careful preparation. She had identified Chu as the greatest threat on the enemy team and crafted a strategy to neutralize him effectively. She isn't too greedy, either. Instead of spreading the team too thin across all three orbs, she focused on acquiring two orbs, a wise decision that showed her understanding of resource allocation and control. Also, judging by her battle plan, even if we were the ones to encounter Chu in mid-lane, she seems confident we can take him on. And if Chu is on Bot Lane, then this match will go smoothly for us since we will have two orb advantages. Her experience in team matches shows with just those seemingly simple commands, which have lots of little nuances not easily determined by players unused to strategizing against their opponents.
Then, as if rembering sothing, she turned to . "Are you fine with supporting , Katherine?"
I nodded in affirmation.
A warm smile appeared on Elizabeth's face as she acknowledged my agreent. "Alright then, let's get going. Follow my lead."

As we reached the location of the Middle Orb, the shimring shielding field that encompassed the entire arena dissipated, aning the orb is now available for capture. Positioned in the center was a remarkable sight—a bowling ball-sized orb. This structure stood prominently in an open space, encircled by the lush forest from which we had erged from. The Middle Orb held imnse significance in determining the outco of the match, and capturing it would grant our team a crucial advantage.
As we stepped into the open space area, we were greeted by two players who had also just arrived. It was the sa two flirting heedless of their surroundings back in the lobby, Dan
