In this tournament, the 5 v 5 map was officially called The Battleground. Its overall setting was wide with several walls, grass areas, trees, and NPC monsters on both sides. At the center was the common division of territories created by a long river.

Every player has the freedom to explore and choose which spot they want to go to. They can even invade the territories of their enemies! The is no such thing as a restricted area.

Unlike other online Realtime Strategic Games, the map had no invisible barriers to specific locations which usually give portions of the map the safe and dangerous zone.

All zones won't affect the gameplay of the players as it is safe to explore. All the players needed to look out for would be their enemy as sneak attacks and ganking happens all the time.

Players have the option to attack or defend in whichever lane they desired to be in depending on their role rotation tactics. Hence, the battleground is known for its fight against strategies.

Unfortunately, with the five members of the Chronos squad advancing at the top lane of the Vultramites squad, such kind of freedom to roam everywhere was no longer available.

The Chronos squad cut out this choice to go anywhere and forced their enemies to go and defend the inner tower.

Not long after, the characters in the map were gathered in one certain area.

One side was a team that was eager to attack and invade their enemies, while on the opposite side, the team would do their best to defend and stop the invaders.

"What bad luck is this?! Why did it quickly come to this situation?" the tank user of the Vutramites squad was completely at loss by how the match had progressed. Now that their team was forced to defend at the final tower in such an early game, they felt embarrassed and hopeless!

They have completely fallen greatly to the disadvantage side!

Most members of the Vutramites squad could not also help but curse their mage and fighter user. These two teammates were just guarding the lane and were messing with Joey.

But now, their team were caught in a more critical mess!

Not only the Vultramites squad lost a single tower, but they lost two! And the final tower was about to get destroyed too!

Facing such pressure, the participants on their lounge took a deep breath and try to rethink of how to counterattack.

Is there a possible way of fighting against the Chronos squad?

All former plans they agreed were shattered into nothing!

Then, another problem arose as the Vultramites squad players thought thoroughly of the possibilities and situation.

There was no way for them to counterattack as the Chronos tank can charge both close combat or in a range fight!

"This CEO UNRIVALED is really troublesome to deal in a team fight! It's too dangerous if we got caught by this tank!" James felt exasperated.

"We have lost our chance of attacking your brother because the tank is protecting his character! Tsk!" the assassin user commented.

To say, the Vultramites players was on their wits end! They don't know what tactics to apply!

Not only they need to defend, they had to be mindful of the distance they move their characters in the map and make it far to their enemies.

They have to maintain a few feet away from their own tower to avoid the hook from Sofia's tank. Otherwise, it would be a complete doom for their team if they clashed right away!

"Hahaha, this is the supremacy of this tank. When it comes to team fight, the hook is a very dangerous skill!" WINS also muttered in his seat. His two companions only nodded and continued to watch at the large screen.

Seeing the character stats, the Vultramites squad players were not stupid to engage in fighting a direct 5 v 5! They would have to be defensive at the same time their squad needed to avoid any possible combat.

But the Chronos squad was determined to push their way no matter what! Whether the enemy would attack them or not, they were able to make proper consideration to everything.

Seconds passed once more and the creeps of both sides have respawned coming from their bases.

While the Chronos squad was waiting for their creeps to arrive on their target tower, their assassin and marksman user roamed the Vultramites jungle and easily attacked the monsters. Farming became so simple task for the situation was under their control.

The second wave of jungle monsters respawned but was quickly killed by these two characters.

The agility of Claire's assassin remained at top-notch because of her double boots. She easily cleared their jungle as well before going back to the top lane where the remaining three players cleared the enemy creeps surrounding the Vultramites squad.

Her movement was so swift that the audience finally understood the items in her inventory.

"So this is the reason why she got the double boots! That's like an ultra-fast speed!"

"It is also good to have this kind of items for agility as long as the opponent will not level up first."

"Yes, but still, this movement is cool. Later when I play again, I will try to use this role and use her build."

Some audience expressed their plans and understanding as the game continued in front of them.

On the large screen, the scene was fairly familiar. Earlier, the mage and fighter of the Vultramites squad had exactly cornered Joey on the top lane. It was a frustrating scene. But now, the Vultramites squad was cornered by Joey and her teammates!

While the timer of the match continued to count, the people in the computer room began to discuss and spectate the result of the last round.

"They need to defend that tower." the operator spoke while his hands tightly gripped the blinking mouse on his desk. If looked closer, all his types of equipment were not the usual thing that operators normally used. All of it was gaming equipment! His keyboard and mouse have specs that were only exclusive for the gamer.

"How can the Vultramites squad defend in their situation? Even if the Vultramites tank player has so many special skills, it is useless. He would not even dare to charge out because his character lacks magic resistance!" a guy from the technical team responded.

"That's a big trouble!"

"The game will really end like this! Haha, I don't know if I'll be satisfied with this match! It is too quick!"

"Here we go, the creeps from the Chronos squad are on the final tower of the Vultramites squad."

The operator quickly switched the screen display on the stage at the perspective of Sofia's tank.

All of them saw that Sofia was trying to aim the projectile of her hook. An arrow of its aim was moving on different angles simultaneously.

However, as she made momentary calculations, her opponents were really far! The Vultramites have calculated the distance well!

Finally, when the creeps entered the range of the Vultramites tower, Sofia stepped forward to get closer to her target and her team followed.

The Vultramites players moved back voluntarily to avoid the hook. They end up retreating farther away and not defending the tower in the process.

And when their mage moved slower, it was a little bit too late for her to dodge. Her character entered the range of CEO UNRIVALED.

Sofia's hook instantly snatched the mage character in just a blink of an eye!

The next thing was a display of slaying the mage like a slice of meat receiving their attacks freely.

In just a matter of seconds, the mage character died once more before her team could save her.

"Tsk!" the players on the side of the Vultramites squad clicked their tongue in anger. The pressure of being surrounded and inevitable defeat was too heavy and unbearable!
