At 7 o'clock in the evening, in the 19th round of the regular season of the IA Super League, the first single match against Dongjiang BV Defense Club against Beiling WIN World League Club officially began.

The starter who represented WIN was Wu Long, who drove the offensive IA, and the first player to represent the defending club was Wang Xiao, a driver who was also an offensive IA with Wu Long, but the only difference was that this Wang Xiao was the vice captain of the defending club.

Generally speaking, the player who serves as the captain in the club, whether it is operation or technique, is basically the most capable person, especially in terms of command ability, and the captain is the first to bear the brunt, because the level of tactical command is definitely likely to determine the outcome of a game.

As for the role of the vice-captain, most of them exist as the captain's deputy, maybe their command ability is not high, but if they have the strength of a single round, they are also the No. 2 players in the club.

Just like Xiong Tianci, the captain of the WIN club, whether it is his own strength, or his tactical arrangement and command ability, it can be said that he is much higher than others, as for why WIN does not have a vice captain, it is just because there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

Let Bai Zhanpeng and Xu Bowen be the vice captains of WIN? It can't be, because both of them have flaws that are hard to ignore, both in terms of qualifications and abilities.

Let Wu Long be the vice-captain? This is also impossible, because Wu Long's personality has already determined that he will never be the person to command the whole team.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of the vice captain can only fall on Zeng Qingyan's head, but Zeng Qingyan did not accept this title, because in his words, he is already at the end of his career, even if he becomes the vice captain, it actually does not make any sense, so in the end, the position of vice captain of WIN has been vacant.

In these clubs in the league, it is not uncommon to have no vice-captain, because every year there will be retirements or transfers, but even if there may be a short-term vacancy, it is impossible to be idle for most of the season like WIN, so in the eyes of many people, the reason why WIN has not been appointing a vice-captain is to leave a place for someone who is about to transfer.

There's no denying that the captaincy and vice-captaincy positions are extremely important, so many clubs give these two positions to the strongest players in the team, but that's just a general situation, as there are inevitably exceptions.

Just like the defending club that played against WIN at this time is actually the most obvious example, and the reason is very simple, because their captain Zhou Hongliang is an auxiliary IA pilot, even if he has good command ability, but the driving assistance IA is doomed to miss the singles race.

Or it can also be said that Wang Xiao, who played against Wu Long at this time, is the person with the strongest comprehensive ability in the defense club.

This game is not optimistic, this is the idea presented in the hearts of fans who care about WIN, but in fact, for the WIN people who are staying in the war conference room at this time, it is expected to see Wang Xiao's name appear in the game list, and it did not cause any waves.

Because there will be four singles matches in each round, and the two most important matches are actually the first singles match and the last singles match.

And the reason why the first singles game is extremely important, because if you can win, not only can you let your team occupy the initiative of the game, but also reduce the pressure on the players in the later games, and the last singles game is actually the same, if the previous game is not smooth, then the last singles game must achieve enough morale, and to bring this morale to the third day of the team match, so often these two singles games, Most clubs will field their strongest players or players with a high win rate.

Wang Xiao is the strongest player in the defense club, and it is natural for him to appear in the first singles match.

Of course, the reason why they are not worried is actually because this first singles match is the result of Wu Long's own initiative to apply for the battle, because according to Lin Xi's arrangement, he hopes to use a trick to race horses, so that Bai Zhanpeng or Xu Bowen, who are not very strong, will play, and then strive for the victory of the next three singles games.

But Wu Long did not agree to Lin Xi's extremely wise arrangement, and although Wu Long did not say it, in fact, most of the people present also knew in their hearts that Wu Long hoped to have a head-on battle with the "captain" who once looked down on him.

That's right, it's a head-to-head battle, not a so-called training and simulation battle.

"Aaron, long time no see......"

At the beginning of the game, as the two IAs entered the arena from the entrance of the game, Wang Xiao actually opened the public channel to greet Wu Long, and when he heard Wang Xiao's voice, Wu Long of course would not ignore it, and also turned on the communicator and said.

"All the same, Captain Wang, long time no see......"

"Ahem, I'm the vice-captain, not the captain."

"It makes no difference."

Wu Long's voice was unusually resolute, very different from his usual ones, no shouting, no arrogance, and no hot temper, even if the communication channel was under the surveillance of the referee, Wu Long's attitude at this time made many people sweat.

Wu Long was nervous, and there seemed to be some caution in his nervousness.

did not rush forward as usual, but chose a tactical position, ready to approach the center of the field from the right side, but Wang Xiao, at this time, it was like Wu Long possessed, straight into the field, not only did the pace under his feet not hesitate at all, but Wang Xiao's voice was also heard again in the communicator.

"I heard that you've been doing well lately, and you've made a lot of progress, but you chose to be the first to play, do you really think you can beat me?"

"If you don't try, who can say for sure?"

Wu Long still replied in a very cautious voice, and at this time, Wu Long's pace gradually slowed down, and he switched IA to a silent stealth state, gradually approaching the middle of the arena from the right side.

It can be seen from Wang Xiao's words that Wang Xiao seems to have some disdain for Wu Long's battle, this is not because Wang Xiao is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, but because no matter what angle you look at, Wu Long is not his opponent, just like most of the people on the field at this time, including the two hosts and on-site guides on the scene, in fact, they all think like this.

The competition between the two offensive IAs will not appear dazzling rumbling artillery fire, nor will there be long-range sniping and fire coverage, but only pure hand-to-hand combat, or even close combat.

The competition is based on the reflexes and experience of the two players, as well as the abilities of each IA itself.

In terms of experience, Wang Xiao has been the main player for four or five years, not to mention rich experience in the arena, and his age is also the year when he is a professional player in IA, but what about Wu Long? He's just a sophomore rookie, and even if he has experience flying an IA before, it's a large-scale group operation in the military, not an IA competition.

In terms of the ability of IA itself, the cold-blooded elf IA driven by Wang Xiao has long been famous, and even the popularity of the cold-blooded elf IA is more appealing than Wang Xiao himself, because this cold-blooded elf was once the car of the previous captain of the defense club, and the fans' understanding of it is far deeper than Wang Xiao, and whether it is the strength of modification, or the tuning of IA itself and Wang Xiao's adaptability, the cold-blooded elf has reached a very mature state.

And the most important thing is that Wang Xiao, as Wu Long's former teammate and captain, has too much understanding of Wu Long's operation and personality, even if Wu Long has rarely officially played, even if Wu Long has left the defense club for nearly a year, but has practiced and fought in private, how can Wang Xiao forget?

"Tactical positioning? Ready for a sneak attack? Is it left or right? ”

Wang Xiao, who came to the middle of the arena, did not see Wu Long's figure, Wang Xiao's first reaction was that Wu Long took a tactical position, and this did not seem to be unexpected by him, and even he had judged Wu Long's position at this time, only to see that although he asked Wu Long, his footsteps had turned to the woods on the right, and he also switched to a stealth state, approaching the direction of Wu Long.

And what about Wu Long? At this time, he was lying behind an extremely lush tree in the woods, about two hundred meters away from Wang Xiao, before he could see Wang Xiao's figure from a distance through the visual system, but in the blink of an eye, Wang Xiao suddenly disappeared from his sight,

Wang Xiao disappeared from the spot? In Wu Long's opinion, this is of course impossible, because he is not an air combat type IA, and he has not heard of Wang Xiao's cold-blooded elf having modified the anti-gravity device, so the only possibility now is that he has discovered his position.

Thinking of this, Wu Long immediately gave up his previous sneak attack plan, preparing to retreat first and then look for fighters, but he never thought that just as Wu Long had just dodged out from behind the tree and was about to retreat, Wang Xiao's cold-blooded spirit suddenly appeared in front of him.

The two IAs stood face to face almost at zero distance, and even Wu Long could clearly see in the visual system that there were many subtle scratches on the dark blue external armor sprayed on the cold-blooded elf.

It's too close, it's even closer than the so-called close combat, not to mention the use of a main weapon that is several meters long, that is, the short sword prepared for close combat has lost its usefulness, and perhaps the only thing that can be relied on at this time is the "weapon" that every IA has--- fists and feet.

But it was obvious that Wu Long's reaction was much slower than Wang Xiao's, because Wu Long didn't expect Wang Xiao to approach him within a few minutes and hide behind him.

In the face of Wang Xiao's fist, Wu Long had no way to dodge, but Wu Long would not sit still, only to see that when Wang Xiao's fist smashed on Wu Long's body, Wu Long used all his strength to wrap his hands around Wang Xiao's waist, and then lifted Wang Xiao to the ground behind him.

With Wu Long's waist exerting force, Wang Xiao was lifted by Wu Long, and the last two IAs collided together, and the friction between the external armor even stirred up many sparks.

But in fact, the sound may seem louder than Mars, but the damage it can cause is not obvious, or the result of this level of impact can only be a lose-lose situation.

The two IAs fell to the ground face to face, but this fall did not affect the two people's attacks on each other, only to see that the fists and feet of the two of them never stopped, Wang Xiao wanted to distance himself so that he could use weapons, but Wu Long wanted to get entangled with Wang Xiao in various ways, either pulling Wang Xiao's arm, or hugging Wang Xiao's thigh, and even the two of them rolled on the ground.

And in the eyes of many people, such a battle scene between the two of them is more like a child fighting, not at all the collision and friction between imaginary cold weapons.
