Chapter 572 - Coach Ma, We’re Evenly Matched! (1/2)

Chapter 572 Coach Ma, We’re Evenly Matched!

When Ma Yang heard that he would have the opportunity to go up, he was elated. “Alright, I’ll start warming up right now!”

He ordinarily used Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s mouse and keyboard when he played as well. Thus, it did not take long for him to warm up.

Huang Wang did not seem bothered. After playing a game against the H4 Club, he could guess his opponents’ standard. Even if Boss Ma kept feeding the opponents kills, it would not matter. There were four against five; it would not be an impossible fight.

Boss Ma could choose a slacker. No matter how many times he died, he would still eat up the opposing team’s resources. If they activated their defense outfits and equipment, they would probably still be able to win.

However, Zhang Yuan gathered all ten contestants very seriously. After that, he started to lay out the battle plan.

“Let me tell you: not a single one of you should be thinking about sacrificing Boss Ma! You might feel happy after the game, but if Boss Ma loses 0-28 again, would he be able to continue playing?

“He wouldn’t play anymore, and then who would balance out the skills? Coach Yaling doesn’t know a thing about this game, and I… what if the opponents still stand no chance against us once I step up? It’s entirely possible!

“I’m telling you: let Boss Ma take the bottom path. Let the supporter protect him as much as possible. Boss Ma has to have a positive KDA. If you could give him more kills, it would be best, understand?”

Huang Wang was shocked.

“That’s… asking too much, isn’t it?”

The team could easily have won if Boss Ma chose particularly useful support and farmed creeps under the tower at the bottom lane while the mid-laner and jungler defeated the opponents’ mid-laner and jungler before covering the bottom lane.

Yet, they were now supposed to let Boss Ma play the center?

Not only would they miss many hits at the start of the game, but they could even be crippled in the later part of it.

What’s more, Boss Ma was so horrid at the game that any slip up could lead to him being killed. Wouldn’t it be too difficult to try and guarantee a positive result for him?

All would still be well if Boss Ma didn’t die too much, but if he did, then they would have to find a way to give Boss Ma more kills.

However, a player like Boss Ma might not even be able to successfully kill an opponent despite how hard the rest of the team tried to assist him!

Zhang Yuan’s expression darkened. “What do we mean by balancing the skills? The possibility of either side losing means that the skills are balanced! How else would you be able to train? We’re not here to have fun! If the game isn’t difficult, we have to create hurdles for ourselves!

“Stop trying to bargain with me. Not a single one out of ten of you should even think about running away. Suck it up and get up there. Whoever fails the mission… Coach Yaling, remember him and give him extra training when we get back!”

At once, all the members’ grins disappeared. Now, they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

They had still been chatting and laughing earlier, thinking that they would easily be able to win even with four against five. However, now they realized that they had been too optimistic!

Huang Wang immediately stopped his three other teammates. “We have to quickly discuss our strategy.” From the other side, Team Leader Su saw the entire series of events and became very confused.

What? Has Coach Ma gone to warm up?

Judging from how professional Coach Ma was and how he could become the special tactical coach of such a strong team, Team Leader Su guessed that he was at least a Grand Master.

Would they still try their best, seeing how strong the opposite side was?

Weren’t the skills supposed to be balanced?

Yet, Team Leader Su felt too ashamed to ask. The other parties had already said that they wanted to balance the skills out, and so they would have to play a match to see the results!

The doors to both private rooms closed.

Obviously, the six team members outside were in no mood to train on their own. Every one of them felt apprehensive inside. That was because it was going to be their turn soon!

Zhang Yuan continued waiting outside, his expression extremely worried because he feared that the team members would feel so high that they forgot about Boss Ma.

After ten minutes, Jiang Yuan leaned his ear against the door to listen to what was going on inside. He could hear faint voices inside the private room.

“Escape first, escape first. It’s not stable. Don’t fight, don’t fight!”

“Steady yourself!” “I have a chance; I’ll kill him myself!” “Quickly, top-laner, come down! They want to advance through the bottom lane!”

“Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly…”

The situation was more intense than he had imagined. In fact, during their usual mock competitions, Zhang Yuan had never heard Huang Wang shouting in this manner before.

The entire match lasted about forty minutes. The voices in the private room slowly quieted down.

This time, the door to H4’s private room opened first.

Team Leader Su’s expression still looked slightly regretful, but there was also a smile on his face. “Ah, what a pity. We were just a short way from winning!”

Huang Wang opened the door to his private room and walked out. Quietly, he patted Jiang Huan on the shoulder. With that, he seemed to say ‘The next round is your turn. Good luck!’

Before this, Huang Wang had looked flushed and re-energized after the match. It looked like he had just been playing and not competing at all.

Yet, now, Huang Wang looked exhausted. Although he was normally talkative, he spoke very little now as he opened a bottle of water and began drinking.

Zhang Yuan heaved a huge sigh of relief. Excellent, I’ve created more competition to train them!

Both parties’ skills had been very different before. Even with Ma Yang, it merely made them play four against five. All they had needed was to come up with some tricks at the start and allow the jungler, top-laner, and mid-laner to take off. Then, the competition would undoubtedly be killed off.

However, Zhang Yuan added a limiting condition. Boss Ma’s KDA ratio had to be positive. At once, the game became extremely difficult, and the gap between both parties was closed.

That was because each time the four other members wanted to fight, they first had to consider if Boss Ma would survive and be able to kill the opponents.

If the team won, but Boss Ma died, they would still get extra training when they returned.

Thus, the four of them had to surround Boss Ma and play. Their range of tactics had immediately been reduced. Everyone had been kept within a small range of operations as they tried hard to close the gap. Of course, there was another important reason. The H4 Club had thought about aiming for Coach Ma, but DGE’s mid-laner and jungler paid close attention to the bottom lane. In addition to the protection of the support, H4 had to give up trying to kill Coach Ma at all costs.

Thus, after an extremely close fight, DGE barely emerged victorious. Boss Ma’s final KDA ratio was 2-2-3, which was considered a positive result.
