When the VSW club mbers had arrived into the Gym, the Montem fan clubs imdiately cheered upon seeing their mbers but the cheers stopped quickly and turned into whispers and gossip as they saw the state of the team.
"OMG what happened to Dan?"
"Is this why they were late?"
"Even Scarlett and Ashley look a bit strange."
Dan was still bruised up all over and he even had markings on his face that were impossible to hide. While Ashley and Scarlett had looked like they had just run a Marathon. The only one that looked half decent was Novis but most of the students didn't pay any attention to him in the first place.
"Coming at the last second and in a state like that, how unprofessional," Burney said as he looked at the Montem team.
Alex too was wondering what on earth happened to the four of them. He wanted to ask them but now was not the ti. The four mbers had just made it and the ga was due to start any second now.
With no ti left, the two teams imdiately put on their headset and it was started the ga.
Frank who was the leader of the VSW club for Hershal gave one good look at Dan just before he put on his headset. He couldn't imagine what the team had gone through to get like that, yet still want to play the ga.
Unlike the coach who thought Montem wasn't taking this match very seriously, Frank thought that this team truly cared about this ga for so reason and it went beyond just wanting to win.
Both teams logged into the ga and selected their warriors. Montem chose the sa warriors as they did last ti while Hershal all chose the sa warrior called Iron grid. It was a fairly well-built warrior who used a shield that was as big as the warrior. In their dominant hand, they would hold a single-handed sword.
Players were allowed to select the sa warriors in the ga but teams rarely did this. There were counters to every type of warrior and if you knew a team would select a single warrior, you would be able to select a counter. But this was how Hershal had always played and their unique formations made it difficult even if playing with a counter.
Each warriors armour was tinted a different colour for the players to differentiate between each warrior.
Burney had done all he could. The rules stated that he was not allowed to give advice once the match had started. Coaches had a special role. In the later rounds of the tournant, matches beca a best out of three. This was where a coach would shine.
After watching a ga and seeing how the enemy team played, they would then be able to step in and advice their players best but at the start of the tournant gas were a simple one-round match.
"Alright everyone, rember the plan, right? on my signal that's when we start," Alex said looking at Scarlett.
Each of them then went into the respected lane as normal. Although Alex knew that Hershal would team up as a group of five, he didn't know which lane they would choose. This was the only thing that Hershel changed on the regular and there was no way for him to predict.
This ti instead of having Dan roaming around in the forest he was instructed to go top with Novis, while Ashley and Scarlett went bot leaving Alex with mid.
"Hey, do you think they can win?" A student from Montem asked watching the ga.
"I don't know, I thought Alex might have had a plan but it looks like they're playing the ga like normal."
The students were worried, every ga they had watched Hershal play ended up with the enemy team losing and they had done the sa thing that Montem was doing now.
Each of the NPC knights in the lanes were busy fighting each other. Alex had instructed the team to stay as closer as they could to their second tower. This way there were less likely to die if they were ambushed by the enemy team.
Hershal was doing the exact sa thing on their side with their players until. In top lane suddenly their players went missing.
"Alex top is missing," Novis reported.
"Sa here at bottom," Scarlett said.
"That ans there coming Mid, guys co here as quick as you can!" Alex shouted.
Usually, if the enemy warrior left their lane, the players would use this as an advantage and take down the tower in front of them. The problem with this was, while they were busy taking down the tower Hershel would have five people storming through mid.
By the ti they would head back, most of their team had died and they no longer had any towers down mid.
Alex was hugging as close to the tower as he could while waiting for his teammates to co, then he saw the four players of Hershal co together. Just like in the videos he had watched they had ford an arrow formation dealing with the NPC knights in an instant.
"Co on where are you guys." Alex thought.
In their practice gas, they realised it was important for the team to protect the second tower for as long as possible. If they did this it would give enough ti for Scarlett to reach the enemy base. If they lost the second tower quickly, they would usually lose their gas.
Dan, Novis, and Ashley were currently running through the forest as fast as they could. They had done this multiple tis before and knew the best route to get to the second tower in ti but as they were running a ssage appeared.
Alex was only able to hold off the 5 mbers of the Hershal team for a brief second, before he had to get out of there and run back.
Unlike their practise matches, Hershal was far more coordinated allowing them to take out the tower in an instant. Alex knew if he had stayed, he would have been dead.
Scarlett too had seen the ssage and gripped her bow tightly.
"We have to win!"
