[No CP] [Genius Commander] [Team Competition]
The first professional tournament officially began three months after Boundary Line's open beta launch.
There were no battle-tested tactics passed down over the years, no standard answers written in textbooks. Established powerhouses, world-championship players, and ladder experts all entered the new arena. Whoever understood the game first would have the chance to define its first era.
Eighteen-year-old Zheng Wuye was there too.
She had no professional record, and Zheguang, the team she joined, was just a small club founded not long ago. But in their first official match, when their opponents claimed four boundary markers, she led her team to reclaim only one.
The next second, half the opposing team's map went dark all at once.
From the city qualifiers to the national challengers, from the professional league to the world championship, Zheguang kept advancing, facing stronger and stronger opponents.
Some used their aim to strike before tactics could take hold. Some deployed entire analysis teams to predict her choices. Some learned the answers she had made public, while others studied how to keep her from speaking in time.
Zheng Wuye didn't mind.
Characters could be banned, tactics could be dismantled, and yesterday's answers would naturally become outdated.
Then she'd come up with another one on the spot.
Later, the entire league was studying WUY.
They studied why she gave up a boundary marker, why she suddenly switched lanes, and why she always saw the outcome before anyone else.
It wasn't until they reached the world championship that they realized Zheng Wuye wasn't the only one they had to deal with.
The once-unknown little team by her side now had five players capable of deciding a match.
There would be many champions in Boundary Line's future.
But the first season's trophy was going to Zheguang.
