Chapter 1909 1909: The Little Team Going All Out
In the third match victory, the Crowd of Misfits team received an additional ten points as a reward.
After three matches, the Crowd of Misfits team won the competition with an absolute score advantage, successfully advancing to the next round.
In an instant, the entire venue erupted in excitement, and players in the game's arena were in an uproar.
Expressions varied across the crowd—some were surprised, some dissatisfied, some unconvinced, and some were filled with emotion.
In any case, all these expressions could be summed up in one word—unimaginable.
The esports scene has been around for several decades since its inception.
From a niche interest, it has developed into a nationwide event.
Over the years, Crowd of Misfits is the only team that has participated with amateur players.
Although the Crowd of Misfits team had defeated other teams in the knockout and qualifying rounds, their playing style evidently did not win them much glory. Their strength and style had been criticized by the vast majority of the audience, and they were not looked upon favorably.
Many believed that this team was merely a bunch of clowns, relying on underhanded tactics and luck to stumble into the finals. They were considered akin to a meat bun—though somewhat tasty, they were not worthy of being served at the table, and would surely suffer a crushing defeat against real experts.
However, who would have thought that this group of meat buns, the Crowd of Misfits, would triumph all the way to this point, even defeating the top-tier team Holy Hall, a favorite to win the championship.
The outcome had a significant impact on the audience and the professional players from various teams.
Are the demands on amateur players now so high? Or are the professional players' skills too conservative?
The feeling was akin to witnessing a fight among lower-tier ninjas in Konoha, making one want to exclaim, "What the hell!"
Especially in the third match, when Wang Yu single-handedly fought against seven top experts from the Holy Hall team, it completely reshaped everyone's perception of expert players in the game <<Rebirth>> and redefined the role of the Pugilist class.
Although Darknorth Fisher made two appearances, this battle could undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of esports history.
Can experts in this game really reach such heights?
Is the seemingly weak Pugilist class actually this formidable?
After watching the match, these two questions kept swirling in the audience's minds.
Originally, Pugilist class players who had been looked down upon for choosing the wrong profession were now filled with pride, as if they themselves had just fought seven opponents in the arena.
...
What does it mean to take on seven people?
In a match, both sides can have a maximum of twenty players. If one person can hold back seven opponents, it's equivalent to having nine players on their side beat up three opponents on the other side.
Such terrifying strength is likely unprecedented in history.
With such an expert in command, a normal match is basically half won.
Of course, the people most impacted by Wang Yu's strength were not the billions of <<Rebirth>> players worldwide, but the last two teams that were opponents of the Crowd of Misfits
After all, regardless of Wang Yu's strength, it had nothing to do with the players and posed no conflict of interest.
However, for the other two teams, there was a direct adversarial relationship.
After several rounds of competition, only three teams remained on the battlefield. Whether it be the Kyushu team or the "Pantheon", their upcoming matches would likely be against the Crowd of Misfits
Now, with the Crowd of Misfits team surging ahead and having a super expert like Wang Yu on their side, the pressure on the other two teams was enormous.
"Damn it!"
Outside the arena, Sacred Mountain stared at Wang Yu, who had just exited the competition room, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The last time we faced him, he didn't seem this strong. I didn't expect him to be this powerful after just a few months. The speed of his improvement is terrifying!"
"No, no, no!"
Boundless Ocean chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "It's not that his strength has improved quickly, but as he said, our strength is still not enough to see his true power."
"This..."
Hearing Boundless Ocean's words, Sacred Mountain was taken aback and suddenly understood.
Indeed, in front of Wang Yu, no one could stand against him. Against players weaker than himself, Wang Yu naturally didn't need to exert his full strength.
The fact that Sacred Mountain hadn't seen Wang Yu's formidable side only indicated that his own level had not reached a point where Wang Yu would reveal such strength.
It's heart-wrenching, really.
Sacred Mountain clutched his heart and murmured, "Do you think he might still be hiding even stronger power?"
"Perhaps!"
Boundless Ocean replied calmly, "From the looks of it, he seems to not have yet reached his limit."
"Damn..."
Sacred Mountain exclaimed, "If that's the case, then the Holy Hall team is about at our level. If they were defeated so thoroughly in three matches, we probably wouldn't stand a chance against them either."
"Indeed!"
Boundless Ocean nodded and said, "Based on the current situation, perhaps only a top team like Pantheon, filled with elite players, might have a chance to beat them."
"So... what do we do?"
"What can we do?" Boundless Ocean shrugged and said, "We can only pray our next opponent isn't them."
Sacred Mountain: "..."
Having partnered with Boundless Ocean for so many years, Sacred Mountain always regarded him as a very steady and reassuring leader.
No matter what kind of opponent they faced, he could alleviate any pressure the teammates felt. However, now that Boundless Ocean had said something like this, it left Sacred Mountain feeling somewhat uncertain.
At this moment, Sacred Mountain suddenly realized why Boundless Ocean had suggested he provoke Wang Yu before the competition.
Originally, Sacred Mountain felt that having a top player like himself face off against Wang Yu was a bit of a waste. Now, it seemed that if they had truly created a violent incident and had Wang Yu suspended, it would have been a huge win.
"What a pity, what a pity", Sacred Mountain shook his head, his face filled with regret.
Fortunately, his expression showed regret, as these guys had no idea about the temperament of a prodigy. If Sacred Mountain had managed to get lucky back then, the entire Kyushu team would probably be in the hospital recovering from injuries.
The Wang family isn't short on money. If they don't compete, Wang Yu and his companion could simply go home and live as young masters. As for Fearless and the others, they have formal government jobs, while the Kyushu team would likely see their careers end here.
There are countless paths to take, but the first rule is to abide by the law. If you go looking for trouble, your family will shed tears.
...
Meanwhile, not far away in the Pantheon team, the members were also shaken by Wang Yu's prowess.
Once they collected themselves, everyone began to ask Uranus, "Boss, if we face them in the next match, do we have a chance to win?"
What do you think?
