Chapter 1866 1866: The Hall of Saints Team

As the team that caused the biggest upset in this competition, once they stepped out of the competition room, the members of the Crowd of Misfits team were immediately surrounded by reporters.

The reporters pushed towards Wang Yu and others, extending their microphones to ask, "All you great players, what do you have to say about winning against the favorite team for the championship as an amateur team?"

"Hey bro, let me through first!"

Before anyone could respond, Evil Rampage squeezed to the front of the group and made a gesture to Wang Yu to step aside.

Wang Yu was confused by this guy's antics, so he took a step back.

At this moment, Evil Rampage arrogantly declared, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but everyone present here is trash!"

"Holy crap!!!"

Upon hearing Evil Rampage's words, everyone in the audience spat out a mouthful of blood.

Such arrogance! Just having won a single match, and he dared to talk so big; he really didn't know how high the sky was or how deep the earth was.

Even the members of the Crowd of Misfits team were left dumbfounded by Evil Rampage's words.

"Dude, this is an international competition. Can you tone it down a bit?" Fearless, blushing, reminded him from the side, "Even an Old Bull wouldn't dare to say something like that…"

Before Fearless could finish, Wang Yu pointed at Evil Rampage and said, "Including you, everyone stand straight. I want to repeat what was just said."

"Pfft…"

Fearless covered his face in despair, utterly defeated by these two guys.

After the Crowd of Misfits team finished their match and returned to the audience area, the spectators took a brief rest before the second match of the day began.

Having learned from the previous experience of the Free Team, the remaining seven teams were much more cautious and did not dare to challenge recklessly.

After all, <<Rebirth>> had become a completely new mode, and the differences in strength could no longer be judged by previous experiences.

Now was an era where experts were emerging one after another, and even such a formidable team as the Free Team had stumbled in front of the amateur teams, so everyone dared not underestimate the other opponents.

As the lights in the venue dimmed, two beams of light fell onto the positions of the seven teams that had yet to compete.

After some flickering, the two teams for the second match were selected: the Hall of Saints team from the European server versus the BTR team from the Asian server.

Wang Yu and the others had only seen the BTR team play once, and since their previous opponent was much weaker, they hadn't really seen what this group was capable of. However, they were known to be on par with the Kyushu team and had even been idolized by Boson, so their strength was undoubtedly not weak.

The Hall of Saints team could be said to be the oldest among all the teams present; they were once regarded as the strongest team in the European server until a large financial group invested to form the Pantheon, a super team known as the "Real Madrid of esports", which interrupted the Hall of Saints team's myth.

Previously, the members of the Quan Zhen team had also had direct confrontations with the Hall of Saints team, and they still vividly remembered the experts from that team, especially the Spatial Mage Jeff and the Gravity Sorcerer Rockabye. Even now, the Quan Zhen members still had lingering fears about these two.

Although Mengxi was officially a player of the Quan Zhen team, she was the leader of the Hall of Saints team in this competition.

Under the eager anticipation of the audience, Mengxi led the Hall of Saints team and the BTR team into the competition room. Soon after, the projections of both teams appeared on the stage, and the main contestants from both sides were presented to the audience.

"Eh?"

When the members of the Quan Zhen team saw the contestants from the Hall of Saints team, they all showed expressions of surprise.

The experts from the Hall of Saints team had been seen by the Quan Zhen team before, but this time they recognized only Rockabye and Jeff among the contestants.

In a typical competition, it was understandable to hide one's strength, but in an S-class professional league, which was a top-tier world event, hiding strength was unnecessary.

Now, among the players known to the Quan Zhen team, only two were officially competing, which suggested that most of the previously known experts were likely substitutes.

Such formidable experts being merely substitutes hinted at the strength of the main players.

No wonder they were once called the strongest top-tier team in the European server; their strength was truly astonishing.

After the host's introduction, the first match finally began.

The first match map, as per tradition, was the unchanging competition arena.

On the BTR team's side, a Warrior named Fanyin took the stage. This guy was tall and muscular, wielding a giant axe shaped like a dragon's head, exuding a strong aura.

In contrast, the Hall of Saints team sent Rockabye for the first round, which surprised the Quan Zhen team once again.

Typically, the first match of a competition is a trial phase for both sides, and sending the strongest or weakest contestant wouldn't yield any information. Thus, teams usually send out players of mid-level strength for the first match.

Since the Hall of Saints team sent Rockabye to battle, it was evident that his strength was only average within the team.

"This match will be a bit tough for Rockabye…"

Seeing the two players on stage, Spring Halo, also a sorcerer, couldn't help but furrow her brows.

Warriors were the quintessential combat class; since the inception of online games, Warriors had always been mainstream, garnering admiration that no other class could rival. Although their single-target damage was not as high as assassins and their area damage was not as good as mages, their overall attributes were quite outstanding, making them the undisputed top combat class.

On the contrary, the sorcerer's role was similar to the priest's, belonging to the crowd-control support category, which not only made them unsuitable for direct combat but also ill-suited for one-on-one battles.

Moreover, Rockabye was a Gravity Sorcerer.

Ordinary sorcerers could rely on their magic's advantage over Warriors, using skills like slowing and controlling to gain an edge, but Gravity Sorcerers had a greater dependence on the environment for combat.

This competition arena was simply a stage; not only was the space small, but there were also no obstacles. Rockabye clearly had no advantage when facing his opponent one-on-one in this setting.

"That's not necessarily true!"

Fearless stroked his chin and said, "Rockabye is quite clever. Since he chose to enter this map first, it shows he has confidence in his own abilities. Although he may not have an advantage, it doesn't mean it will be easy to defeat him."

While the two were talking, the battle on the stage had already begun.

The BTR team's Warrior named Fanyin lowered his head and charged towards Rockabye.

"Ha ha!"

"Earth Pull!"

As Fanyin was about to collide with him, Rockabye smiled slightly, pointing his right finger at the charging Fanyin.

Suddenly, Fanyin, who was rushing at high speed, seemed to have stepped into thick mud, and his speed immediately slowed down.

"Ha!!"

Fanyin was no pushover. After being slowed by Rockabye, he shouted loudly and unleashed a rallying cry to dispel the control, swinging the giant axe in his hands to initiate a whirlwind slash.
