Text Text_Chapter 442 High-Risk Investments

A player owns two main IAs, which can be called a luxurious treatment, and there are really few players who can enjoy it, because looking at the whole league, except for a certain ace player in a very few clubs, others will not expect such unrealistically high-standard treatment at all.

After all, not to mention the purchase cost of introducing an IA, just counting its subsequent upgrade and maintenance costs, it is already an astronomical amount.

So the fact is that the vast majority of clubs actually adopt the same strategy as WIN, that is, to use some relatively backward, but not completely eliminated by the times of the same type of IA as the player's spare IA, such as Xiong Tianci's spare IA Castle, and Wu Long's spare IA Night Ranger and so on.

The purpose of the existence of the spare IA is to prepare for a rainy day, only the player's main IA is temporarily too late to repair due to serious battle damage, or in the case of no spare parts to completely repair the IA, the players can take this opportunity to avoid the embarrassment of not having IA available.

In this team match, the absolute main force of WIN only sent Xiong Tianci and Wu Long, even if Bai Zhanpeng and Xu Bowen may not be able to sit firmly in the position of the main force of WIN because of their weak personal ability, but they are also players who have been trained in the professional arena, and they are more reliable than thorough newcomers like Hou Ziang and Hua Qingqing.

So in this case, people who are concerned about the WIN game will inevitably be worried, and what they are worried about is that Bai Zhanpeng and Xu Bowen's main IA and spare IA can't meet the requirements of the game?

Is it because the battle damage in the previous single-player game was seriously damaged and could not be repaired, or did Bai Zhanpeng and the others simply not even have a spare IA? For so long, they only relied on one main IA to play?

If this is true, then there is only one explanation, and that is that WIN has fallen to the point where it is no longer able to maintain the backup IA.

The exodus of many sponsors and the ongoing reduction of the budget generated by WIN's internal operations are evidence that WIN is not well funded.

In addition, after the mid-term break, WIN signed four players in one go, even if these players are all unknown newcomers, and it is impossible to have a very outrageous salary contract, but anyway, there is also Hu Xiaopeng, the most promising newcomer in the top qualifier.

Even in the last press conference, Hu Xiaopeng, who has been entangled with those media and reporters for a long time, did not reveal the specific details of the contract, but he can guess one or two based on the contracts that have been disclosed in several leagues.

Because Hu Xiaopeng, who is also the second place in the qualifying round and the halo of the Most Potential Newcomer Award, even if he can't reach Cai Wenxiang's contract that has entered the high salary threshold, then his salary is conservatively estimated to be no less than the level of 3 million annual salary.

After all, in the last qualifying tournament, Wang Xianglong, who finally chose to join the Handun Club, once exposed that his contract had been as high as nine million for four years, and his ranking in the qualifying round was only eighth.

The already stretched funds still need to reserve enough salary space for the players, and then they need to be equipped with exclusive IA, if this series of investments is conservatively estimated, it may also cost tens of millions.

For a while, the WIN supporters, who were still puzzled by the WIN list and even complained, understood WIN's helplessness at this time.

But as the saying goes, there is no return without investment, and high-risk investment, although accompanied by risk, if it can be rewarded, then it is naturally more lucrative.

For example, Hu Xiaopeng, who has made his professional debut on the field and has been recognized by many for his amazing performance, is actually the best example, especially when he sparked a wave of auxiliary IA craze, Hu Xiaopeng has simply become the representative of a new generation of IA competitive players.

Otherwise, his FGA figure of up to 1,000 yuan would not have been sought after by people when the pre-sale was opened, and it would not have been out of stock after the official sale because of the hot response, and even the second-hand FGA figure has been speculated by the market to a price of nearly 2,000 yuan.

"The discerning WIN, the incredible Mu Qing."

Since last season's choice to sign Wu Long, who was abandoned by the defending club, this seems to have become a label for WIN, and at this time, it is a verification of the truth of this sentence, because WIN not only chose to sign Hu Xiaopeng, a mechanical genius who can go down in history, but even Bao Buping, a crane tail player who is at the end of the qualifying ranking and seems to be impossible for anyone to choose in the second division, can also perform so maverickly on the field.

Even if this maverick needs to be put in a double quotation mark, and perhaps a question mark needs to be added, this cannot hide Bao Buping's really distinctive tactical style, let alone his record of defeating Yan Zhaopeng in the singles competition.

In fact, what makes people feel amazing is not only Hu Xiaopeng and Bao Buping?

Because as this team match began, which everyone was not optimistic about and thought that it was almost impossible to win, the audience watching the game came out again and again with exclamations.

They were amazed by the fact that a new weapon that had never appeared in the IA arena before, a sniper bullet that seemed inconspicuous to them and usually only caused minor damage to the external armor could be so destructive to IA with the blessing of the new weapon.

Not only can it easily penetrate the external armor made of light fiber material, but it can also achieve penetrating damage in the face of relatively heavy medium composite armor, and even the heavy armor with the highest protection index seems to be able to resist a single attack of the new weapon.

And most importantly, this new weapon, known as the "Freezing Air Bomb", can also inflict passive attribute buffs that can only be found in fantasy games.

Not only can the armor hit by the Freezing Air Bomb become fragile for a short period of time, which can easily achieve a destructive effect, but even after the Freezing Air Bomb continuously hits certain joints and electronic control devices, it will cause the IA to have the effect of movement delay and temporary failure.

Even if the delay and failure are short-lived, and the effect is not very significant.

But the problem is that in the ever-changing arena, any change in conditions is enough to change the direction of the battle, especially when a certain player of Xuanji was attacked by Hou Ziang and Hua Qingqing at the beginning, and then it happened to appear, and at the same time, when Wu Long, who had a great desire to fight, the destructive effect was even more shocking.

The player who was originally enough to be evenly matched with Wu Long, because of the relationship between the freezing air bomb, made him powerless in front of Wu Long.

The IA protection system, which could last for several minutes even if it was passively beaten, was indiscriminately chopped into a "puddle of mud" by Wu Long after just a few photos.

I believe that if it weren't for the quick reaction of Xuanji's side, and their captain Shang Baotian rushed to the aid with the advantage of the air combat type IA, using various smoke bombs and stun bombs to block Wu Long and Hou Ziang's offensive sight, maybe in the opening ten minutes, Xuanji would have been the first to eliminate a player.

was taken advantage of by the opponent to escape, and failed to take the lead in establishing his numerical advantage at the beginning of the game, in the face of such a result, not to mention Wu Long, who was fighting on the front line, even the spectators in the stands felt very pity.

But it's a pity that Hua Qingqing and Hou Ziang let people see the strength of the two of them through this time, and also proved to those who follow this game that the reason why WIN sent the two of them to play was not the result of impulse, let alone because WIN did not have a spare IA for other players to use.

Especially when the new weapon Freezing Air Bomb was carefully guarded against by Xuanji's players, and could not achieve a surprising victory again, Hua Qingqing and Hou Ziang's other abilities gradually emerged, and became the pioneers of WIN's command.

And this ability is that the two of them have been training day and night during this time, and it is also why Xiong Tianci finally sent the two of them to compete in the dual firepower formation of the team competition.

Different from the traditional dual-firepower coordination tactics, or strictly speaking, the dual-firepower formation of Hou Ziang and Hua Qingqing is not just a traditional cross-firepower coordination, but a relatively aggressive, and even in some cases has entered a state of distancing and even entering a state of separate battles.

Generally speaking, even if the coordination tactics between multiple firepower IAs do not occupy high points and form a cross-fire network against the enemy by relying on the mutual echo of the sniper positions, then they are just gathering in the same sniper position and forming a full range of firepower coverage by virtue of fixed erection.

Even if there may be a change in the way of this, it is still impossible to change the effect of the former to increase the intensity of the fire, while the latter is to increase the coverage area of the fire.

However, as far as the coordination tactics of Hou Ziang and Hua Qingqing are concerned, although they are also like traditional tactics at first, relying on their respective sniper positions to form crossfire, but soon, as Xuanji's players break through the blockade and gradually approach Hou Ziang's sniper position, this traditional tactic has changed in an instant.

In the eyes of many, the advantage of the firepower IA is its long-range strike capability, which can carry out targeted sniping against the enemy at a very long distance, and can also use rapid-fire to assist the low-explosive grenade of the defensive IA to complete the full coverage of the enemy's firepower.

Therefore, in order to disrupt the offensive of the firepower IA, then it is necessary to break through its firepower blockade and contain its characteristics of long-range strikes.

But who would have thought that just when Xuanji's players thought they were about to succeed, Hou Ziang, who should have chosen to retreat, gave up his sniper position, and rushed towards Xuanji's players instead.

A firepower IA chooses melee combat, this situation is not without precedent in the IA League, after all, the horse source of the Hundred Flowers Club is the representative task of the melee firepower flow, and even in many cases, the horse source who has been accustomed to close combat will simply give up the setting up of the sniper position and choose to directly participate in the team's attack.

Could it be that Hou Ziang is also a close-quarters firepower player? Instead of the traditional positional stream players?

Just when people were surprised, Hou Ziang's rather clumsy close-quarters firepower stream that exposed his weaknesses all the time really appeared.

However, even if Hou Ziang exposed countless weaknesses in the attack, and the number of mistakes could not be counted at all, Xuanji's player could only watch the opportunity disappear from front of him and could not take advantage of it.

Because as long as he wanted to attack his vital point, or when he launched a counterattack, Hua Qingqing, who was still in a distant sniper position, always let him suffer from it.

In addition, the power of the freezing air bomb is even more powerful at close range, which not only greatly reduces his IA action reaction, but even if Hou Ziang gives up the sniper and chooses to use the most ordinary pistol bullets, it can still cause instant damage to the opponent's armor.

With the pouring ammunition and freezing air bombs, as well as the flamethrower that was removed from the Integrity Fire IA that had been reduced to a part, between cold and hot, in the rapid expansion and instant freezing environment, Hou Ziang simply let the opponent experience the excitement brought by the two heavens of ice and fire.
