Chapter 825: Chapter 469: Narrow Victory! (Second update, seeking subscriptions)

Mist City Arts and Science University.

One mournful wail after another, and sighs, filled the campus.

"Sigh, how did we get trounced like this?"

"It’s over, it’s over, the MBQ team’s economy is already leading by 3,000 yuan."

"Hold firm, bros!"

"The MBQ team is kind of formidable, honestly didn’t see that coming!"

"MBQ team’s secret weapon, damn, caught us completely off guard."

The Mist City Arts and Science University alumni watching the live broadcast were all nervously clenching their fists for this first match.

In the Principal’s office inside the Administration Building.

Ding Yue watched the match with growing anxiety. It was clear now that his own FY team was at a disadvantage, with the MBQ team’s strong performance further widening the gap.

"Yue, how come this Baxi Country’s MBQ team is so strong?"

Huang Youjie, who was watching the live game with Ding Yue, couldn’t help but complain.

Xu Bin also nodded, adding, "Indeed, Baxi’s MBQ team seems to have improved a lot from before. Their overall coordination has gotten much stronger, while our FY team has weakened somewhat in that aspect because of the two substitute players."

The two pals were right.

Ding Yue saw this too.

In the original starting lineup of FY team, Qian Yu and Wang Shilin didn’t play due to being out of form, replaced by substitutes Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo.

Although Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo were also strong players, the overall coordination of the team was definitely somewhat weakened.

Plus, as Huang Youjie and Xu Bin mentioned, Baxi Country’s MBQ team had apparently improved very quickly.

Now, the MBQ team seemed very strong, even stronger than anticipated!

As a result, in the first match, the FY team was clearly at a disadvantage, with the economic gap growing larger and larger.

"We were careless."

Ding Yue couldn’t help but mutter, "It seems like Baxi Country’s MBQ team had been holding back their strength, waiting to explode during the semi-finals."

"Really quite something, MBQ team!"

Xu Bin couldn’t hold back his criticism either.

Because this MBQ team from Baxi Country had kept too much hidden.

Before this.

The MBQ team had always displayed a calm and even-tempered approach, relying on stable strength to advance to the semi-finals.

But what no one expected was that their strength was far beyond that.

When facing the FY team with slight flaws, they suddenly displayed the power of a super strong team and started playing with increasing confidence.

Good grief.

Ding Yue felt frustrated; it seemed his FY team was being used by the MBQ team to build their confidence and experience, right?

But there was no other way.

As two key players, Qian Yu and Wang Shilin were in poor form and just couldn’t play.

The replacements, Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo, needed time to integrate with the team, despite an array of training sessions before the semi-finals.

But training is training, and when it comes to a real match, things are different.

Firstly, even the pressure is different, and secondly, during training, there was no Baxi Country’s MBQ team to spar with them.

In other words, the strength of the MBQ team was unclear at that time.

Now, after suffering from this disadvantage, the first game might just come to an end because of it.

At this moment, Ding Yue made a voice call to FY team’s head coach, Jian Zihao, to discuss the current situation in the semi-finals in real time.

They couldn’t just suffer a crushing defeat in the semi-finals and lose to the MBQ team on their home turf.

"Hello, Principal Ding."

As the voice call got through, Jian Zihao’s voice came through.

"Our FY team is already at a huge disadvantage now; is there any chance we can turn this round?"

Ding Yue asked Jian Zihao.

"It’s tough. In this game’s lineup, as time goes on, the MBQ team gets the advantage. That is, the longer the game goes on, the greater the MBQ team’s win rate, unless there’s a miraculous team fight."

Jian Zihao replied helplessly.

As a former LOL professional player and now coach of the dark horse team FY, Jian Zihao’s analysis of the situation on the field was quite accurate.

Actually, even the two well-known LPL casters had almost lost faith in the game.

The situation on the field indicated that at any moment, the MBQ team could end the game with a team fight.

"Sigh, let’s think carefully about the next match then, Director Jian. Do you have any ideas for the next game?"

Ding Yue sighed, then continued to inquire.

If there was little hope for this round, they might as well start considering the tactics and strategy for the next round earlier.

After all, this was a bo5 series.

Losing one match is not scary, but what’s frightening is failing to find form after the first defeat.

If so, they’re likely to lose three straight games and get a clean sweep of 3-0.

If the FY team ends up with such a record, once they return home, Ding Yue could hardly imagine the online pressure they would face.

Furthermore.

Ding Yue was still hoping to win the semi-finals.

After coming this far to their first world contest, it would be such a pity to lose just like that.

These young guys really worked hard.

Jian Zihao had once told Ding Yue that Xiong Jiahao, Feng Jin, Qian Yu, Wang Shilin, and Yao Jing, including the substitutes, Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo, were all very diligent and serious during training.
