1210 Sanguine Squad VS Sky Dragon Squad (1/2)
Based on logic, Quan Zhen Sect had not violated any rules therefore no matter how much noise the audience made, they would not face any consequences.
For these players, whatever tactics they had used was perceived to be a display of their superior intelligence. They felt that the audience that was clamouring for them to leave were players that were mentally retarded and jealous
After much din, under the appeasement by security, the venue finally regained its former calm. All the participants made their way up into the arena.
There were a total of 30 teams participating in the professional tournament. They hailed from places all over the country.
The competing format was similar to that of previous competitions with the use of drawing lots to determine matchups.
Since Team A Murder Of Crows qualified through special means and had already gone through two consecutive days of competition, they were given a first round bye.
The main purpose of the players from Quan Zhen Sect today was to turn up for the welcome ceremony.
Since they did not have to pay an entrance fee, everyone being long-time players wanted to have the first-hand experience in seeing what it was like.
After all, it was wise to know your opponent thoroughly. Quan Zhen Sect's capabilities were already scouted extensively after their two days of competition. It was imperative for them to take note of their future opponents.
They had nothing to lose anyway.
After a round of introductions by the host, the teams took their places and the Quan Zhen Sect players returned to the viewing gallery.
At this moment, the lighting darkened and two beams of light began to intertwine and clash rapidly.
In the end, the column of light fell on Sanguine Alliance's Sanguine Squad.
With bated breaths, Wang Yu and the others could not believe that the first up to fight was a familiar friend…
Looking at Sanguine Squad's opponent, they were even more taken aback. Aiya, even more familiar bunch of players. It turned out to be Apocalypse's Sky Dragon Squad.
The two selected teams got up and entered the arena. Frost Blade quickly inquired in hushed tones, ”The dealer is here. Sanguine Squad odds are 1:1 while Sky Dragon Squad is 1:2. Is anybody willing to take a gamble?”
Wang Yu was astonished, ”Sanguine Squad odds are 1:1? Are they that strong?”
”Old Bull, you cannot say things like that!”
The rest of them berated Wang Yu, ”Don't think that just because we used to bully Sanguine Alliance then all of them are weak. They are considered a top ten professional team after all. They have many experts in their ranks.”
As he said, Ming Du fished out a fistful of cash, ”Frost Blade, help me bet on Sanguine Squad. Considering the friendship between me and Sanguine Warflag, I should support them. I'm not doing this for money.”
”Isn't Apocalypse also in the top ten?” Wang Yu countered. Even though Wang Yu never concerned himself with such matters, through his daily interactions, he also picked up some of these nuances.
”Indeed…” Frost Blade continued, ”However, they have lost their city. Everybody in the game knows that fact.”
The main purpose of a guild was to channel large amounts of resources for their competitive squads but more importantly, it provided a platform to build their reputation and raise their fame.
These guild battles or city battles were to raise the visibility and prominence of each guild.
When the guild is strong, their competitive squad will also be strong. This creates a synergistic relationship where the two sides will equally benefit each other from each other's successes.
Which was the main city that Sanguine Alliance was based?
”Twilight City!”
This was the first independent city and one that had the stellar record of repelling the city siege.
Even though the locals knew that the true contributors in that city defense efforts were the Quan Zhen Sect, players outside the city would attribute the success to Sanguine Alliance since they were the biggest guild within Twilight City.
The bunch of Quan Zhen Sect did not bother about such trivialities. They did not bother clarifying the matter. As a result, Sanguine Alliance's fame experienced an exponential growth.
