MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Not long ago, the Pantheon had a confrontation with Wang Yu. At that time, the three members of the Pantheon teamed up and barely managed to match Wang Yu's strength.

Thus, although the members of the Pantheon were aware from the beginning that this seemingly harmless Pugilist was quite powerful, they still felt somewhat reassured.

However, they never expected that this Pugilist would be strong to such an extent; their previous encounter, where one faced three, was merely in an ordinary state.

At that time, although Ares and his companions did not exert their full strength, the members of the Holy Hall battle team were not much weaker than the Pantheon, and even if Ares and his team gave it their all, defeating seven equally skilled opponents was out of the question.

Moreover, judging from the previous battle, it was clear that Wang Yu had held back… and that was what truly unsettled the members of the Pantheon.

The thought of facing such a ruthless opponent made even these battle-hardened top experts feel a bit nervous.

"Hehe!"

Uranus chuckled lightly and said, "Don't be afraid! No matter how strong he is, he is just one person; his teammates are nothing to worry about."

"Really?" Ares stroked his chin and questioned, "That Evil Rampage and that archer are pretty capable too."

"Archer?"

Uranus laughed and said, "Her combat style becomes unremarkable after you've seen it enough; her strength is about fifty-fifty with ours. As for that Evil Rampage, hehe."

At this point, Uranus paused and continued, "From what I understand, that guy is just a merchant, and merchants are relatively easy to deal with."

"Oh? Really?"

Zeus was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

Uranus nodded with a smile.

...

After the break in the competition, the final three battle teams all entered the venue.

Sitting in their respective positions, the expressions of the three teams varied.

The Kyushu battle team felt uncertain… because in terms of overall strength, the Kyushu battle team and the Holy Hall battle team were old rivals, and compared to the Pantheon, they were somewhat lacking.

For several consecutive years, the Kyushu battle team had been defeated by the Pantheon.

There was no helping it; the European and domestic servers were inherently unequal.

The domestic server only had players from China, while the European server comprised many countries as a whole.

Although there were numerous players in China, the deeply ingrained cultural mindset prioritizes education, treating gaming as a side endeavor. Therefore, in China, most people view gaming as a form of entertainment, with very few treating it as a profession.

Moreover, the investment and treatment in gaming in China were also not on par with the European servers, so the European teams have consistently maintained a high standard.

Especially the Pantheon, which is the wealthiest club in the world, gathering top experts with the highest market values in the industry.

Such a top-tier team, even one player plucked from it could serve as a captain in other teams; the strength of such a team is easy to imagine.

The Crowd of Misfits team, relatively speaking, was indeed weaker, but they played unpredictably, making them even more terrifying than the Pantheon.

No matter how strong the Pantheon was, it was only strong as a team; the Crowd of Misfits team, with just Wang Yu, was practically undefeated.

After all, with Wang Yu as a major advantage, who would dare to confidently say they could defeat the Crowd of Misfits team?

In contrast to the Kyushu team's anxiety, the members of the Pantheon were much more relaxed.

The Kyushu team was an old rival, and the Pantheon felt relatively confident about that matchup. As for the Crowd of Misfits team, the Pantheon already had counter-strategies in place, ensuring they would handle any team they faced in the upcoming matches with ease.

At this moment, the most composed was undoubtedly the Crowd of Misfits team; these carefree fellows truly lived up to their name, just a bunch of disorganized rabble.

This was their first time participating in an international event. At the beginning, they were a bit nervous, but after a few matches, they quickly returned to their rambunctious nature.

Originally, the three teams standing in the venue were being watched by the audience, but when it came to the Crowd of Misfits team, these guys were pointing at the audience and making comments.

Especially Ming Du, this uncouth fellow, was actually shouting slogans at the audience, excitedly saying, "Hey, that girl over there is pretty nice!"

"Don't point at people, it's rude!"

Wang Yu helplessly swatted Ming Du's hand aside and glanced at the audience, saying, "Didn't you see the boyfriend next to her looking unhappy? It seems like he said he might throw something at you."

"Huh? Throw what?"

Ming Du asked Wang Yu expectantly, knowing that Wang Yu understood a bit of lip-reading.

"Let me take a look." Wang Yu squinted his eyes to observe, then with a bewildered expression asked Ming Du, "What does 'Lei Lou Mu' mean?"

Ming Du: "......"

"Hahaha!"

To ensure the audience's viewing experience, the entire venue was equipped with simultaneous interpretation, so although it was difficult to hear what the audience was saying, they could clearly hear the conversations of the top experts on stage.

Hearing the dialogue between Wang Yu and Ming Du, the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What kind of nonsense are these guys? Their taste is too low; if one didn't know better, they might think they were just spectators watching the match, such a group of unrefined characters was simply a muddy stream in the esports scene.

...

After all the participating teams took their places, the lights in the venue dimmed, and two beams of light descended from above.

Whether it was the Kyushu battle team or the Pantheon, neither team wanted to face the Crowd of Misfits team, this bunch of unruly fellows.

The system seemed to have heard the sentiments of both teams, and after a flicker of the light beams, they ultimately settled on the Kyushu battle team and the Pantheon.

The upcoming match was Kyushu battle team vs. Pantheon.

These two teams could be said to represent the pinnacle of the Asian and European servers, having competed for the world championship for so many years.

Although the Kyushu battle team had more losses than wins, they were indeed the only team capable of contending with the European teams.

This match between the two major teams was originally supposed to be the final match, but unexpectedly, it was moved forward.

With the audience's anticipation, the two teams stood up and entered the competition arena, and soon their holographic projections appeared on the stage.

...

As everyone knows, the Pantheon is known as the Real Madrid of the esports world, with players in the club being top-tier experts without exception.

Top players from all over the world might be considered elite, but placed in the Pantheon, they are merely average members.

Thus, whether in terms of individual strength or overall strength, the Kyushu battle team and the Pantheon are somewhat lacking. To win the match, their only hope relies on tactical victory, which is built on home-field advantage.

However, unfortunately, in this match, the system designated the Pantheon as the home team…
