Chapter 117: Chaos and confusion
"Something's wrong." This was the unanimous evaluation given by Mingkai and Ye Xiu after watching the game video of Team Wuji.
The match between Xingxin and Wuji had ended long ago. Even though He An came to visit early, Xingxin did not give Wuji any chance to struggle.
Wuji was awakened by an extremely violent battle at Zero Dragon Tower.
According to the schedule, Xingxin should not face Wuji in the qualifying stage.
However, since there were basically no strong teams in the next schedule, Mingkai immediately used his traditional skills:
"Let's study the LPL opponents!"
Well, it’s a little early to study MSI, let’s study LPL first.
The current Wuji team is ranked second in the group and has basically secured a spot in the LPL, which is naturally within Mingkai’s research scope.
But when Mingkai got the video of the Wuji team and started watching it, he keenly discovered some abnormalities.
The Wuji team has a subtle flavor.
Their performance was not outstanding against strong teams. Although Wu Chen in the bottom lane was quite strong, he was suppressed by both Su Mucheng of Xingxin and Zheng Xuan of Yizhan.
The situation of He An in the middle is similar.
In the strong dialogue, they defeated Zhu Xian with great difficulty, and then were beaten badly in front of Xingxin.
Even Yi Zhan, who was ranked fourth, was able to defeat them easily with his personal ability advantage.
However, when facing mid- and lower-level teams, they performed extremely stably. They were not like Yizhan, who often tried to fish but was instead fished out. Basically, they won every game with a big advantage.
At the beginning, Mingkai felt that Wuji was probably the kind of team that bullied the weak and relied on the discipline and overall quality of a professional team to steadily defeat weak teams, but lacked the winning point when facing strong teams.
It just so happens that Xingxin also lacks the discipline and stability that a strong team should have. Although it is much better than Fanhua, it is still a small hidden danger.
So he called Ye Xiu over to watch the video together, hoping to learn something.
As a result, I could tell something was wrong after just one look.
Wuji’s ability to bully weak opponents is stable, and it’s not entirely because of how well they perform.
It’s more because their opponents have attacks more frequently.
Teams that can make it to the offline competition basically have at least their own set of commonly used tactics.
For example, Tianguang’s four protecting one is like this.
But once these teams encounter Wuji, quite a number of them will not care about any tactics at all.
They started picking heroes randomly from the bp stage, and the lineup they got was obviously disorganized.
In a fight, they can't win in either laning or team fights.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a trick." Ye Xiu thought about the visit of the Wuji team that day and quickly came to the conclusion.
"That He An, who is both the team manager and a player, is a shrewd man who is used to scheming for personal gain."
"If I'm not mistaken, he would visit his opponent before every game."
"By then, we can use any tactics we want, whether it's recruiting people in person, sowing discord, or other psychological warfare tactics."
Ye Xiu pulled up Wuji’s game data during this period, nodded, and confirmed his guess.
"You see, the more disorganized and unregulated a team is, the faster it will be defeated by the Wuji team."
"As for those teams that have a certain degree of organization or have professional players in the team, even if they are inferior in strength, they can find their own basic base and fight back and forth with Wuji."
"This is probably because they are more immune to Wuji's psychological warfare tactics."
Since then, the mystery of the Wuji team's performance has been solved.
But Mingkai still frowned: "How do you think the authorities will deal with this kind of thing?"
Ye Xiu thought about it for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If it was the Glory Alliance, I guess they wouldn't bother to care."
"After all, no matter how effective the tricks are, they are worthless in the face of the absolute gap in equipment." "But——"
Ye Xiu knew very well what kind of person Pei Yunteng was.
Even though his character and style are disguised, one thing is certain.
This self-made boss is a man who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes when it comes to principles.
"Wuji's game tomorrow, do you want to go and watch it?"
……
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Ye Xiu and Ming Kai came to Wuji's competition venue together.
“Feeling something is wrong, right?” Ye Xiu lowered his voice.
"There are a lot more referees." Mingkai nodded.
Compared with previous days, the number of staff today has almost doubled.
If they had a match today, they would have noticed referees watching the players' lounge and corridors.
It is obvious that Tencent Esports is serious this time.
“I’ve already told you that President Pei will never sit idly by and allow such a problem to exist.” Ye Xiu was leisurely, as if he had anticipated this scene.
"He won't let such a black sheep ruin the reputation of the entire league."
As they were talking, the two teams participating in this match, Team Wuji and Team Oscar, also arrived at the competition area one after another.
Behind them, the referees from the alliance also followed closely.
Ye Xiu had good eyesight and he could clearly see that the expression on He An's face, the mid laner of the Wuji team, was not right.
"Someone is about to be in trouble." Ye Xiu chuckled.
Sure enough, before the game bp officially began, the person in charge of Tencent Jingdong who was in charge of this group of events suddenly walked onto the stage with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, the alliance has received feedback that in some competitions, players and managers privately contacted the opposing players before the game and interfered with the results of the game."
"At the same time, many teams reported that their players were affected by their opponents' pre-match attacking tactics."
He bowed deeply and said, "The Alliance is to blame for this situation."
"So starting today, we have decided to significantly strengthen the management of the competition process. At the same time, we are also fully investigating possible match-fixing and passive competition situations!"
"I hope you will understand and cooperate with the alliance's decision!"
As soon as these words came out, He An, who was already feeling a little uneasy, suddenly began to sweat profusely.
"Captain He, what should we do?" Wu Chen asked in a low voice, but for some reason, He An always felt that there was an unclear meaning in his words.
But at this moment, he didn't have the energy to think too much and could only force himself to remain calm: "Don't panic!"
"The league didn't suspend us directly, which means they don't have solid evidence either!"
"Even if there is, our previous actions can only be regarded as pre-match trash talk and psychological warfare. Without a contract and official seal, it is definitely not considered poaching!"
"As long as I behave myself from now on, everything should be fine!" He An comforted himself frantically.
However, can Wuji really settle down in the next schedule?
After all, the team they are about to face seems to be called... Oscar.
The first update is here! More will come later!
I have finished the work today in the short term. I will update earlier tomorrow, with two updates at 8 o'clock and the third at 9 o'clock.
Then I will add more chapters starting from Friday, and try to make up for the ones I owe.
I'm sorry for inconvenience you all during this period.
