MMORPG: Martial Gamer

The ground trembled, and the ice surface beneath the two of them suddenly lifted, surrounding Darknorth Fisher from all directions.

Taking advantage of the situation, Poseidon followed up, throwing several powerful spells at Darknorth Fisher's face, quickly ending the battle.

The third round ended.

The current score was zero to two. The Pantheon, led by Poseidon, still had four players, while the Crowd of Misfits team was down to just two. Seeing how decisively Darknorth Fisher was taken out, the audience couldn't help but exclaim: No matter how powerful the fish is, it ultimately has to submit to the Sea God.

The Ice Mage truly deserves to be the top PK class.

In the following two matches, Crotch Lord and Boson took the stage one after another, both ultimately defeated by Poseidon, while Poseidon still had over eighty percent health remaining.

This demonstrated the absolute advantage of Ice Mages over melee classes in PK.

The second match ended with a score of zero to eight. Currently, the Crowd of Misfits team had three points, while the Pantheon was far ahead with nine points.

After the second match, everyone had a higher understanding of the Pantheon's strength.

In the first match, it seemed the Pantheon was about to falter, but who would have thought this team was so strong that they directly caught up in the second match? The combined strength of Prometheus and Poseidon, the two mages of the Pantheon, truly impressed everyone.

It's clear that the Pantheon has maintained its dominance in the esports world for so many years, not just by name.

...

"The last match is going to be tough."

In the lounge, the members of the Crowd of Misfits team no longer felt the earlier ease; after the second match, they were directly shut down by the two mages from the Pantheon.

They kept repeating this phrase.

As the saying goes, one-on-one relies on control, while team fights rely on output.

The Pantheon has three major mages: Thunder, Fire, and Ice, with Poseidon ranking last among them.

After five matches in the second round, the strength displayed by Prometheus and Poseidon left everyone feeling unsettled.

A support-type Fire Mage, a control-type Ice Mage, and the strongest output-type Thunder Mage—this configuration appears simple, but when it comes to team fights, it is undeniably flawless.

The members of the Crowd of Misfits team are experts at team fights, and they quickly recognized the focus of their opponents' formation.

With the three mages coordinating and Uranus directing, isolating any one of them would be quite challenging.

"Easy!"

In response to everyone's unease, Fearless confidently replied with two words.

"Are you kidding?"

The others questioned, "How can we break through the blockade of three mages? We're not Old Bull; they can kill us and retreat while just stalling Old Bull to win!"

In terms of formation, the Pantheon is much sharper than the Holy Hall team, fundamentally countering the Crowd of Misfits.

The Holy Hall' formation is conventional, making it much easier to deal with average teams.

In contrast, the Pantheon employs a control-and-output formation. Though this formation lacks in defense, its lethality is extremely high—it's either you die or I die.

Only top experts with tremendous self-confidence dare to use such formations.

Before the match, the Pantheon clearly didn't know they were facing a team like the Crowd of Misfits. This formation was evidently designed for powerful teams like the Kyushu team and the Holy Hall.

For grassroots players like the Crowd of Misfits, it would be nearly impossible to withstand.

On the competition stage, the outcome is decided by skill, not life or death. As long as they eliminate the other members of the Crowd of Misfits, the match would be practically secured.

Although this formation might not be able to take down Wang Yu, it's still very difficult for Wang Yu to eliminate a fully equipped, sharp-formed team within the given time.

It's important to note that the Pantheon currently leads the Crowd of Misfits team by a full six points. In the final match, they don't even need to win; a draw would suffice.

Moreover, the third match is at the Panton's home ground, giving them the power to choose the map, which would put the Crowd of Misfits team in a passive position.

"Hehe!"

Unexpectedly, Fearless chuckled and said, "They'll soon lose their backbone."

"???"

Everyone was taken aback by Fearless's words, confused, "Backbone? What do you mean?"

"Hehe!"

Fearless smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, among these experts in the Pantheon, who can truly gather them together?"

"Well..."

The members of the Crowd of Misfits were momentarily speechless.

Whether in reality or in the game, the more skilled a person is, the more proud they tend to be.

To make such experts bow down requires more than just a few tricks.

Not to mention the Pantheon members who have become top masters in their respective professions; even those from the Quan Zhen Sect are all rebellious, acting as if they have their heads in the clouds.

To make this group behave, even someone as clever as Fearless has to rack his brain. And yet, he still gets scolded by these unruly players, who don't regard him as their leader at all.

Unless it's someone like Wang Yu, who can completely suppress them, can the Quan Zhen members genuinely submit.

...

The experts of the Pantheon are essentially at the peak of their respective professions. It is impossible for anyone to far exceed their teammates in strength. To become the backbone of this group is not something that can be accomplished overnight; Uranus must have significant means to lead them.

"Fearless old dog, are you planning to pull the rug out from under them?"

After pondering for a moment, Spring Halo squinted and asked.

"Of course!" Fearless said, narrowing his eyes, "Without a leader, they're just a scattered group! No matter how strong they are, how strong can they become? Blame Uranus for bringing this upon himself."

"Achoo!"

In the adjacent lounge of the Pantheon, Uranus, who was arranging tactics for the final match, suddenly sneezed hard and continued, "Athena, Ares, you two can handle stalling that Iron Bull along with the three mages, right?"

"Just stalling is fine",

Athena nodded confidently.

Of these five, except for Zeus, who is a full-power output, the others all have hard control and are not weak in output. Even if they can't kill Wang Yu, it shouldn't be hard to hold him down.

"That's good!"

Uranus pointed at the sand table and said, "The rest of you just surround and eliminate their remaining players. The opponents are unlikely to make a move, and the only one with real fighting power is that melee female archer. Apollo can just hold her off; the two of you, being melee, should focus on stalling. We'll come to help as soon as we can."

"Understood!" Apollo nodded in agreement.

After arranging the battle, Uranus wore a confident smile: "After all, they're just a bunch of undisciplined rabble. Relying on just one person to win the battle is indeed a bit naive for these guys."
