In fact, it is quite surprising that these little guys from the peak team can advance from the first round of the preliminary round of this trial.
With their overall strength and average rank, it is true that they can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches or even the lower reaches in the entire Xiamen sub-division.
As long as they meet a few strong enough teams in the preliminary round, it is enough for them to be eliminated in the first round.
but-
Probably because the previous training was indeed effective, and with a little luck, they were able to finish the promotion with a record of three wins and two losses in the first round of the preliminary round.
Especially in the last game of the preliminary round, they faced a team ranked 50th in combat power in the Xiamen sub-division.
The strength on paper is obviously stronger than them.
But with the concerted efforts of a few little guys, he abruptly held his breath and dragged the game to the later stage, gave play to the advantages of the lineup, and achieved a feat of defeating the strong by the weak.
As a result, it seems that several little guys have found confidence and boosted their morale.
In today's second round of trials, several members of the team performed equally well.
First win in the morning.
Two consecutive games in the afternoon ended with one win and one loss.
In this way, it is already a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. In the last remaining two games, as long as you win one more victory, you can steadily advance to the next round of selection.
Originally, Zhang Xin, Lin Ziyang and others who had achieved such a record were still excited.
In their opinion, their peak team is only one step away from being promoted again.
pity.
It seems that this time, luck has not favored them again.
After the third game of the afternoon, they received information from the field staff on the arrangements for the last two games of the evening.
They also learned about the remaining two opponents they were about to face.
Before that, the various teams they encountered in the two rounds of trials were added together, and the strongest among them was only the team ranked 30 or 40, but the two teams they will face tonight...
One is the "Stinger" ranked 13th in the Xiamen sub-division list.
another.
It is the number one seed that has been reported over and over again by all the e-sports media in the entire Xiamen City and touted almost to the sky, and the number one seed ranked first in the combat power list of the Xiamen City competition area—
OMG.
…
The food on the table still smelled of steaming heat.
The people at the table still did not move their chopsticks.
In the silence, the atmosphere was so depressing and heavy, even if the stomach was hungry after the game in the afternoon, at this moment, no one was in the mood to eat with chopsticks.
"How to fight this..."
Finally, it was the team's auxiliary member, Zhang Yuan, a plump-looking little fat man, who couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
There was a hint of frustration in his voice.
No one else at the table answered the call, nor did anyone accuse their own support teammates of obviously affecting morale.
Because after learning the identities of the next two opponents, they themselves felt the same way—
so…
Did you lose
Really can't blame them for having such discouraged thoughts.
In fact, if you want to talk about mentality, in fact, these junior high school boys have fully proved themselves in the previous games with their actual performance, even compared to many semi-professional teams and those in their twenties with higher ranks. "Adults", they must be stronger.
In the face of a strong opponent, it will not be discouraged and retreat.
Rather, it proactively rises to the challenge.
and defeat the opponent.
But such confidence and morale have their limits.
In the face of an opponent who is slightly stronger than themselves, they can maintain confidence and actively try to find a way to defeat the weak, but if they know that the opponent's strength has far exceeded the limit of their ability -
Under such circumstances, no matter how optimistic people are, it is difficult to be optimistic again.
"Luck ran out."
The team's jungler, Yang Ke, a thin boy with glasses, also had a sad face.
indeed.
In the previous competition, the opponents they encountered were still within the scope of being able to cope with the challenge, but who would have thought that at the critical moment that was related to whether they could advance to the second round of trials, they would encounter a terrifying opponent of this level.
Division 13 and first.
Even this is the two strongest teams in the arena where they are playing.
met them all directly.
In an instant, it was on Hell difficulty or even Nightmare difficulty, the kind that didn't make people see the slightest hope.
Seeing that several of his little friends looked like this, Zhang Xin, the captain, gritted his teeth and slapped the table:
"I haven't fought yet, why are you frustrated?"
"The situation is not very good now, but it does not mean that there is no chance at all."
As he said, he looked at the few friends in front of him:
"We are now 2 wins and 1 loss. As long as we get another win in the next two games, we can advance."
"So that means, we only have to win one game against Stinger and God at night!"
"Tian Ah is too strong, maybe he really can't do it."
"But in this stinger, it may not be impossible. They were the thirteenth, but we were just a little bit closer to the 31st 'Fire Knife' in the match?"
The other teammates looked at each other in dismay, and finally nodded slowly.
Zhang Xin said so... and it's not wrong.
At least with their current record, if they want to advance, they don't need to win both games against the next two terrible opponents.
Just need to win one game.
And in the afternoon, they played against the Fire Knife team in the third game, and it was true that they were not completely powerless to fight back.
But-
The little boys actually knew very well in their hearts that the next situation was still far less optimistic than what their captain had said.
Even if they fought against the Huodao team, they were barely able to fight, but this definitely did not mean that they would have the same chance of winning against God or Stinger.
Not to mention Tian Ah, the Stinger team ranked thirteenth, and it was definitely stronger than Fire Knife.
They are so exhausted and passive even with fire knives.
The best and best expectations are probably only one or two percent of the odds of winning.
"Anyway—"
Zhang Xin accentuated his tone:
"We have finally come to this point, the last two games, show the momentum we should have!"
"One fight, there may not be a miracle!"
The same pre-war mobilization and encouragement as in the final life and death game of the previous round of preliminary rounds.
The other members of the team finally cheered up a little and nodded vigorously:
"Um!"
Then Zhang Xin turned to look at Zhou Mo beside him, trying his best to show a smile:
"Brother Mo, let's study the tactics and ban selection later."
"This time, I need your help!"
As the team's coach, Zhou Mo had not been involved in the conversation just now. Because of this situation, he actually didn't know how to persuade and comfort the children in front of him.
Hearing Zhang Xin's words at this time, he took a deep breath and nodded solemnly:
"it is good."
"I will try my best!"
