"Let\'s see…" He sat on a soft sofa on the balcony and opened a file given by Flexy a week ago. "It\'s this."

The file was only filled with words. There was no flowery image or stuff that could make it friendlier. In the title section, \'Orange Strategy\' was written in bold. Following that were a few steps that could possibly lead to their victory.

Firstly, they started the strategy in joint practice, which was today. The plan\'s name was Make Them Mad. The goal of this plan was simple: attack the other team\'s mentality and make them think they would also harass them in the actual tournament.

At this point, people who read this strategy would probably ask. Why? What was there to gain from making the other teams angry at them? It would only lead other teams to target them in the wave boss scramble, right?

The answer lies in the second step.

"If they are enraged and experienced being harassed, they would change their strategy and focus on defense. They are professional players. Surely their desire to win far outweighed their personal feelings."

Some players would probably attack them once they were in sight, but that would be the minority. At most, one or two teams would dare to attack them blatantly.

"The group composition of the joint practice will be the same as the actual competition. That\'s why this plan is possible."

Lastly, they had to survive. According to all factors combined, it might be possible to survive until the 8th wave. To ensure they could advance to the final, they had to take 3 or 4 teams and 3 wave bosses from the fourth onward.

That job was left to Lily, who would use a sniper rifle to steal the kill. Max\'s job was to harass the teams and annihilate them if possible. He would be supported by Atlas, whose job was to find enemy bases.

As usual, Flexy would defend the base with his MG.

"This is good. We survived until the 9th wave with this composition, so we should be able to do it again. If possible, though, I\'d love to see the last wave, which is said to be unbeatable due to the large amount of cockroaches pouring from all sides."

After reading all the plans, Max looked at his extra quest\'s progress.

<Quest:

Just 14 more days, and he would receive the reward. It had already been 16 days since midnight had passed. He wondered if the system would give him another quest while this was still ongoing. He surely wanted more reward, hopefully, a useful one.

Thinking that it was already too late, he headed to the bed and fell asleep.

In the e-sports scene, some players were bound to know each other and exchanged contact. They also often made group chats to exchange information with each other.

[KillingSpead: Hey, what do you think about OrangeSquash?]

[MoriYes: Kill them. They are so cocky!]

[mmAmm: Agree. Their strategy is also wicked. How could they do that to teams in the first match?]

[KillingSpread: I don\'t know. Their strategy seems to work. But… What do you think, AntiMG? Your team is in the first match with them.]

[AntiMG: Please, just let me forget. It\'s so frustrating that I want to shoot their heads.]

[TresBen: That much, huh? Are they truly invisible? Can\'t you find the sniper based on where they shoot?]

[GroundedMom: That\'s what I thought as well. A sniper can\'t hide that easily. Once they shoot, the shockwave will send the dust flying. You will be able to find them just by looking at the dust.]

[AntiMG: We obviously know that, but they run so fast. Once they shoot, they will disappear. Even looking at the dust is useless because they are no longer there.]

[MoriYes: That\'s troublesome.]

[TresBen: Indeed. I doubt they will use that strategy again in the actual tournament, seeing no one from Group 1 advance to the next match. But if they do…]

[AntiMG: I will call them trolls and make a petition to ban them from professional competition in the future.]

[KillingSpread: That\'s too much. I understand you\'re angry, but that\'s a real strategy. If they advance to the final and use that strategy, they might emerge as the winners.]

[mmAmm: Agree, I think you shouldn\'t report them. You might receive backlash. Instead, why don\'t you or one of your teammates use a sniper rifle? Fight fire with fire.]

[TresBen: That\'s a viable option. Unlike rifle and SMG, SR has a scope. You might be able to see the running enemies through it. And as long as you are wary, you won\'t get harassed any more.]

[KillingSpread: I guess I need to talk about this to my teammates too. If, by chance, we meet the OrangeSquash team, we will prepare an SR beforehand. The weapon itself isn\'t bad.]

[AntiMG: We have talked about it and that\'s our decision as well. I can use SR, too. As long as it\'s not the freaking machine gun, I will use whatever weapon to fuck them back.]

[GroundedMom: As expected, that\'s the only strategy.]

[KillingSpread: I know, right? Thinking about other countermeasures will be hard. This is the easiest one that we can think of. Of course, if they don\'t use this strategy, we will be fucked.]

[mmAmm: Our strategy needs to change either way if we meet them. Good luck, AntiMG.]

[AntiMG: Yeah, we will prevent them from advancing no matter the cost.]

The chat ended after that and they talked about different subjects. Thus, many teams talked to their members and reviewed today\'s joint practice.

Flexy\'s plan worked. They successfully planted a suggestion that other teams needed to counter their play and change their strategy.

This would give the OrangeSquash team an advantage.

Time passed quickly. The morning had arrived, and teams began to arrive at the EDE for the competition.

May 31st.

Roach Planet\'s competition officially started with 2000 spectators.

"The first group has entered the stage and is now preparing the VR capsule. Nature, who do you think will advance to the final among the 10 teams in this group? Or do you think no one will advance just like the joint practice yesterday?"

"I wonder. If the OrangeSquash team decided to troll like yesterday, then that\'s a possibility. However, did you notice that they changed their roster? They took out Ferin and replaced her with LilyPixel. I think they plan to win this round."

"Right. In the Scrim, they managed to survive until the 9th wave with this composition and beat the favorite, MiceMice team. I think we can look forward to this match."

"Hahaha, I think so too, Grand. I wonder how other teams prepare themselves to combat OrangeSquash\'s harassment?"

"That would be something to look forward to."

The host talked excitedly as the clips from yesterday played in the background.

"It seems all players are ready. We will pass this to Jack and Paul on the stage!"

"Thank you, Grand and Nature. We will take care of the casting from here."

All players entered their VR Capsule and were ready to defend their bases from cockroaches. Everyone was transported to their respective base.

Max, who had just been transported, immediately checked his teammates. Everyone was here holding their respective weapons. Their base seemed to be located in the middle of a desert with no dunes or boulders around. It was the best place they could ask for.

"The infamous OrangeSquash has appeared in their base. Let\'s see… Oh? They are holding normal weapons this time!"

Unlike the joint tournament, Max was holding a mock P90 MSG. Flexy was still with his MG, but Atlas held a normal rifle instead of the large sniper rifle like the one Lily had.

"Indeed, they have changed their strategy. It seems they were truly trolling in the match yesterday."

"That\'s for sure. However, look at the effect. All 10 teams have at least one person holding an SR. Even those with a defensive strategy using 4 MG have slightly changed their tactic. They are probably afraid of getting harassed anymore."

"That changes everything, no? With this, they can only send 2 people to kill the wave boss instead of the usual 3. The running speed of those holding a sniper rifle is slower than others. It\'s too heavy."

"Indeed. I am still wondering how the players in the OrangeSquash team aren\'t affected by the weight. Breeze aside, as he has a 98.5 Synchronization Rate, how high is those players\' SR? Even LilyPixel was slightly affected by the weight of the sniper when she was running."

"Now I am curious. But there is a game we need to cast. The countdown of the first wave has started ticking. All teams are in their position. They have prepared extra ammo above the wall for easier reloading. Their sniper has prepared themselves for an attack."

True to what the caster said, the team asked their sniper player to look for the harasser. They were wary of an attack.

However…

"Alright, let\'s not attack them."

Flexy commanded his team to stay still in the base.

"We will play tricks on their minds. Let\'s focus on defense and wave boss until the third wave. Then… We will destroy them."

Their real strategy started.
