Chapter 357 – 357. World Championship Group Stage (5)

Hot and excellent performance.
And even the looks that are captured on camera.

Battle Angels was a team born with superstar qualities to drive the success of the tournament.

Cheers resounded in the arena until the moment they defeated Cyber ​​Akuma and prepared for the next match.

“The next match is between Battle Angels and Barnes Vortex!”
“These are the Battle Angels who also shot and pressed Cyber ​​Akuma. Apparently, Barnes Vortex won’t be an opponent.”
“However, the Vanz Vortex, which is called the German tank unit, is a team that shows slow but heavy operation. So far, no matter how strong the team is, I haven’t seen them break down easily.”
“Are you saying that they could invent an anomaly?”

While the commentators and casters raise expectations, the next game begins without delay.

Due to the Battle Angels performance against Cyber ​​Akuma, Barnes Vortex opted for a defensive ban pick.

In the first place, the combination that Barnes Vortex uses well was to lock the front line with tanks and slowly develop the dealers to promote the second half.

Thanks to this, the nickname attached to them is the German tank unit!
It was a nickname called for strong firepower in the second half based on solid operation.

However, the Battle Angels immediately draw their swords against him.

I chose Hestia, a utility character, as a midfielder for Amazoness, which is perfect for melting down tanks.
Although Amazoness had a short range and was at a disadvantage in laning battles and had difficulty surviving in teamfights, there is no character better than this in a typical all-out battle where you attack from the front line.

Barnes Vortex inevitably selects the long-range AD Dealer Helios and the powerful Deal Porter Gabriel as the bottom duo.
It seemed that he was planning on destroying the Amazoness in the lane battle before he grew up.

In response, the Battle Angels chose a unicorn as their support.
Until the 6th level, he was a helpless character, but the moment he reached the 6th level, he became a supporter who doubled his mobility, evasion, and survivability while attaching wings to his AD.

“All the power is focused on the bottom.”
“Because the key point of this game is the bottom. I think the flow of the game will change depending on how much Ryu’s Amazoness grows.”
“Can Sia hold up in the mid lane?”
“Hestia has good staying power, but if she continues to trade deals, she will never be able to live. I think he should refrain from engaging as much as possible and take a long look at the line.”

Commentators and casters’ opinions were still questionable.
I know Battle Angels are good at it, but the question was, can they do well with such a bold ban pick?

After a while, when the ban picks were all completed, the doubts of the commentators and casters intensified.

No matter how you think about it, it was because the composition of the battle angels put too much pressure on Ryu.

“It’s a combination that only Ryu has to carry, so can he really not make a mistake?”
“If the one deal doesn’t grow, there’s nothing left, so I think it’s more like that evaluation.”
“Ryu’s carrying ability is famous, but I guess we’ll have to watch the game to see if he’ll be able to take down German tank units.”

The game started and Barnes Vortex confidently entered Invade.
The Battle Angels, who are mostly utility characters to assist one-handed players, were forced to withdraw after fighting moderately.

Just like the Battle Angels in the previous game, Barnes Vortex tried to control the buff by holding onto the opponent’s jungle vision.
However, if there was one problem, the tactic of driving out the opponent and monopolizing the buffs was devastated because of the white player who put a ward in the friendly jungle.

Wisdom flexibly started jungling in the opponent’s jungle because he could see all the players of Barnes Vortex waiting in the bush all day long.

Even after that, Barnes Vortex continued to put pressure on the Battle Angels in the laning phase.
It was easy for the Battle Angels to show their strength if they fought together in the middle of the game, but as a utility character, the Vans Vortex could put pressure on the whole.

However, the Battle Angels players maintained a close distance and never conceded a kill angle.
Even if you have to give up CS a little, focus on managing your stamina and fight with your tower on.

Then, Barnes Vortex naturally chose to inflict Kajeong on the Battle Angels.
Just like the previous battle of Battle Angels, they chose to call the opposing liners while killing the jungle camp.

The first few times, I felt like I was succeeding by driving Wisdom away.
If it hadn’t been for the accident that happened in the jungle on the bottom line of the Battle Angels, they would have been able to steadily gnaw through their opponents.

The Battle Angels, who had been avoiding local warfare until now, finally started moving.
Drive the creeps in with a hard push from the bottom, and depart towards the friendly jungle one step faster than the opponent.

The bot duo of Barnes Vortex, who was a little complacent in pushing the line, was startled and chased after them.

If there is something fortunate about Barnes Vortex, joining the mid lane is that they are faster and fighting between junglers is also advantageous.
In the end, the composition flowed into an atmosphere where the Battle Angels’ bot duo was pressed by Vans Vortex’s mid, jungle, AD, and support.

Just then, White’s unicorn gains wings.
She has taken her 6th level and is ready to take off.
Ryu and White duo join Sia in an instant with their quick mobility.

After being buffed by Sia’s Hestia, Ryu started rampaging in an instant.

Her arrow pierced the mid liner of the elongated Barnes Vortex.
After taking fixed damage in proportion to physical strength, he quickly ran away and tried to increase the distance, but he couldn’t shake off Ryu’s movement speed while riding a unicorn.

So, the first to fall was the mid laner of Barnes Vortex.
After that, the jungler, who came out of the jungle a step too late, was in danger.

On the way, the bot duo of Barnes Vortex also joined in to help, but when Wisdom entered the back and disturbed them, they couldn’t properly play cover.

Even the jungler fell, and there was no character that could block Ryu’s charge.
Subsequently, the bot duo of Barnes Vortex, who were completely overwhelmed and fled, were hunted one by one.

It was only natural for Ryu to record a quadra kill.

“Oh… “

The commentators on the US channel were silent for a moment, not knowing what to say, then shouted.

“Quadra Kill!! Ryu completely ruined the game!!”
“It’s an Amazones-centric combination, but Amazones eat quadra kills?!”
“The unbelievable has happened! The Battle Angels, who waited until the support reached level 6, used a tactic to identify opponents who had entered deep just in time and cut them off one by one! What a terrible patience!”

The game after that was no different from when I finished off Cyber ​​Akuma.

After growing up, Ryu’s Amazoness broke the bottom line and went up to the top, and the top tower collapsed shortly after.

Barnes Vortex banded together to keep an eye on the mid-tower, but the Battle Angels, who won the teamfight using objects as bait, drove the momentum and captured the mid-tower as well.

The gold gap has already widened by close to 10,000.
Considering the in-game time, it was a gap that had no hope of reversing.

“Battle Angels end the game like this!”
“Battle Angels destroying Group A… Who can stop them?!”
“After watching the match against Cyber ​​Akuma and this match, I can clearly see it. Battle Angels is a team that demonstrates its strengths in teamfighting, management, and various aspects. Maybe even win!”

Players of the Battle Angels, who had won two consecutive victories, emerged from their capsules one by one.
The audience who cheered for the contents of the game were once again impressed by their beauty.
It was a look I had seen before the game started, but it was a look that I was in awe of when I saw it again after time.

“Battle Angels… They really do look like fighting angels. The next steps are very noteworthy.”

The Battle Angels greeted the audience lightly and entered the waiting room.

Cheers continued for a while in the stadium where the excitement had not subsided.

###

After the fight against Barnes Vortex, we waited for the final match to come.

It wasn’t too long since the rest of the game ended faster than expected.

Finally, the last game of the day, against Taiwan Esports, began.

[BA Peace: The opponent is a team that focuses on the bottom line. Other than that… There is nothing to hold back.]

Hwang Ji-yeon’s boast made the players smile brightly.

But only one person.
There was a girl staring at me with a serious face.

[BA Battle: Why are you staring at me like that? Do you need anything?]
[BA White: … We practiced, can’t we do that?]

Considering the level of the opponent, it might be a shame to take out the trump card that I had prepared separately.

However, seeing Baek Ha-yan’s earnest face, I couldn’t help but say that I would do it later.

[BA Battle: Yeah, it would be nice to bring it out a little earlier and show that we are capable of strategic play like this.]
[BA White: hehe… ]

White with a happy smile.
Hearing that laugh, I wonder if it doesn’t matter.

It won’t be long before a ban pick follows.

As a team that gives strength to the bottom, Taiwan Esports chose a method of hiding the bottom character by selecting upper body-oriented picks in the beginning.

We also select only the upper body characters that correspond to them, and put the bottom duo on the back side to see the liver as much as possible.

[BA Battle: Let’s go soon.]
[BA White: I’ll carry it! Carry! Carry!]

Since we were in the red formation, we had no choice but to complete the pick before the opponent.

The last bot character is selected with the white white cheering sound.

It was Cupid, a one-hander, and Hyperion, a supporter.

It is a combination that has recently started to appear, and it was a duo with a completely different mechanism from the general bot duo.
I use Cupid as a one-hander, but CS is what Hyperion eats.

People saw this combination and called it the Single Cupid combination.

Originally, Cupid was planned as a support character, but since it is a character that shines even more when used with a melee character, after research, I came to the conclusion that it is not bad to use it as a one-hander with a melee supporter.

Because it has a skill with good utility, it was okay not to have to use CS, and the mechanic was similar to that of a ranged skill, so it was not difficult to handle.

In Taiwan e-sports, the worry about the last pick is getting longer.

He seemed to think that he would be in trouble if he didn’t come up with the law somehow.
