"What did we just see, Nature? Did OrangeSquash just destroy 2 teams before the first wave finished?!"
"I did see that. As sneaks into their base while Breeze confronts them directly. Two different strategies, but… Do you think they did this on purpose? Breeze did die, but he was smiling at the end and took his opponents with him."
"Indeed. Do you think they wanted to know their opponent''s skill level by sending those two most skilled yers with different ystyles?"
"They might be. And Breeze probably sacrificed himself willingly."
— This is why Breeze is the GOAT!
— He took the bad job for himself and died with a smile
— So the Scrim can be used that way… Because this isn''t a tournament, there is no need to be afraid of trying new strategy
— Whoever thinks about this is amazing. And the one who actualizes it is also amazing. This cost so much money!
— My respect for Flexy increased. He won''t be turned to orange juice!
After that, the game continued as usual. Team Jokegon managed to kill the first wave boss.
[Team Jokegon has killed the first wave''s boss.]
[100 Annihtion Points have been rewarded.]
The aftermath of the battle wasn''t exactly desirable. Because five teams met at the first wave area, explosions and shes could be seen from afar. Some yers were downed, but miraculously, none was killed. They were being careful because 100 points weren''t worth their members. Find your next favorite at m vl-em|p-yr
As and Ferin used this chance to destroy one team when they revived their teammates. This strategy seemed to work as it used the element of surprise. What they didn''t expect was their target. It was a pleasant surprise.
[Team OrangeSquash has annihted Team Jokegon.]
[500 Annihtion Points have been rewarded.]
One of the five teams they were wary of was annihted just like that. It looked so easy, but actually not. Only two of the four members were alive, and both of them were reviving their teammates when As and Ferin appeared.
Team Jokegon was gambling just like their team, trying to defeat the boss with four members instead of only two or three like the other teams did.
(Great. Now, let''s try to survive as long as possible. We''ve tried three of our main strategies. We just need to see how long we can hold on without Breeze now.)
"Alright."
Following that, the three of them focused on defense, trying their best to protect the base with only three people.
Maxughed when Flexy got jumped by the mutated cockroach in the fifth wave. That panicked face behind the visor was so funny that he screenshot it for ckmail material.
Some teams who lost their teammates, fell in the seventh wave. Only 4 teams were left, including teams MiceMice, bigSack, MWRifle, and OrangeSquash. Ferin was so crazy that she destroyed many roaches by herself. Flexy also used MG for this tactic, so they were able to fill the missing spot left by Max.
However, even so, they couldn''t really hold on against the eighth wave.
"Ack! Sorry, I am downed!"
Ferin died when she was up against threerge mutated cockroaches. The enemies became stronger, and the efficiency of their defense was reduced. Flexy and As nodded at each other. They knew it was time.
Max, who was in the spectating room, sighed. They were unable to defend against eight waves without at least two machine guns. Or…
''I can use a sniper rifle, but that will hurt our strategy to destroy their base at first wave.''
So, how could they handle this? That would be left in the meetingter.
Ferin got killed by a swarm of cockroaches after a few seconds. She appeared in the spectating room and sat next to Max.
"Good job, Ferin," Max said with a wry chuckle.
"I could do better than that." She said, puffing her cheek. "My shotgun didn''t really damage therge mutated cockroach shell in the eighth wave. I need to know their weak spots, or we won''t be able to kill them all."
"So the problem is in their hard shell?"
"Yup, that''s the only problem. Maybe it will only be destroyed by repeated fire from MG or a single fire from a Sniper Rifle. Either way, it''s too hard for a shotgun. I need three buckshot to destroy it. And I can''t stay with one enemy for that long."
Indeed. That was the main problem.
Just as Max had thought earlier, he needed to try the sniper rifle. Or… there was a better way to handle this situation, although he didn''t know the strategy''s effectiveness.
''Lily can enter the match and take Ferin''s position. She''s fast and uses a sniper, so that would be perfect. I will bring it up to Flexyter.''
The cockroaches ran over the base before long. They were eliminated in fourth ce. Thebined Annihtion Points and Survival points they gained were around 8821, the highest they ever received because of the extra 4000 survival points from surviving until the 8th wave.
The next team to be eliminated was bigSACK. They made a mistake and were unable to handle the iing ninth wave. Thebined number of the remaining eight waves overwhelmed them. And the seventh wave boss, who hadn''t been killed yet, attacked their base.
That spelled their doom.
Soon, the eighth wave boss spawned near MiceMice''s team base. This miscalction destroyed their base core, and they ended up annihted. However, their annihtion point was higher than that of thest team, MWRifle. In thest calction, the team cement based onbined points was like this.
1. MiceMice (+5 points)
2. MWRifle (+4 points)
3. bigSACK (+3 points)
4. OrangeSquash (+2 points)
5. T9 (+1 points)
…
8. Jokegon
9. M4
10. MAOA
All yers exited their capsules after the game calction finished. Flexy was happy with the result and smiled brightly. They gained a lot from the first match. Not only did they find out about other enemies'' skill levels, but they also found their weaknesses.
The second group''s first match would start soon. The yers walked off the stage so the cleaning department could prepare the capsule for the next yers.
As for everyone who just finished the first game… It was a strategy meeting time.
"Let''s talk in the back. We will change our strategy based on what we found out earlier." Flexy said, and everyone nodded in agreement.
