Chapter 255 - Capture The Flag

Karna was very nervous before the event , he wondered if the others would accept his leadership , wether his leadership would actually allow the team to win. Or will the all stars team loose before even going to the world stage.

Capture the flag had the team\'s spawn at their respective bases equidistant from the central white flag.

Each team spawned with their own team color flag , red team spawned with red flag , blue team with blue and soo on .

The rules of the event were such that the central flag was worth 5 points , there were two flag holes at every base , one where the team flag was placed and one for the central flag.

For everytime a team retrieved a central flag and it was successfully placed in the team\'s flag area , the team would get 5 points. After which the flag would respawn at the central location.

For every enemy team flag stolen and brought back to base and placed in the flag area , for 10 seconds , the team would get one point , while the team whose flag was stolen would get -2 points.

Hence the battle though named capture the flag , was much more than just capturing the flag. One needed to do both offense and defense and display excellent strategy to win the event.

Which team to pick on , which flag to go after , the forever mounting pressure to either get the top spot or hanging onto the top spot. It was a challenge of nerves.

After every death a player would not?respawn , hence dwindling numbers could potentially destroy a teams winning chances. A loss of 3 players would essentially cripple a teams offensive capabilities , while a loss of 6 members would force a team into dire defense.

It was not far fetched to say that this was the hardest event of all the events in VR Olympics , probably only equal to winning the one v one battle.

The pressure could render a pefectly capable general useless , and this is where the true mental fortitude was tested.

Karna was feeling it in his nerves , the pressure to perform , his hands trembling as he waited for the event to be started , however his eyes were full of vigour , as he looked forward to the challenge.

This was his strength of character , with his back against a wall , he was the person who would fight back the hardest and never resign till the last moment.

The invite did come for the event and Karna accepted it. Inside the lobby the preformed team banded together.

Karna stood with Jhonny English , Medivh and Cola , the Elites banded together , and the duo Patch and Jin Mori stood together , while the Akatsuki Pain and Itachi stood together , KingSpy and MadTitan stood solo in the group.

With a short discussion it was decided that Karna would be the leader of the event , he was a top 10 player and overall the Elites had the maximum representation in the event , hence it was only natural that Karna was appointed.

Noone seemed dissatisfied about this arrangement as of now , and hence Karna sighed in releif , his chance was here , now the pressure was on , and it was gametime!

( Meanwhile SMG was participating in the dodgeball event)

The description of dodgeball only mentioned that it would be the traditional ball throwing event , with a VR twist. Not much information was provided , however , nobody expected that the description was soo misleading. There was nothing traditional about the dodgeball event. As it was dodgeball only in concept and everything else was different.

There were no two courts to fight in a verses format , instead there was only one large court , where both teams had been spawned. Infront of the counrt were 15 giant cannons , as the AI explained the rules of the event.

In the white court , anyone who would step even marginally outside the painted lines , would be eliminated , no skills were allowed inside the white area , only physical attacks without any weapons involved were allowed.

Blocking an incoming ball with both fists and feet was allowed , while contact to any other body part spelled elimination.

The ten players would play in the same court and would be barraged randomly by dodgeballs from the machine , if you failed to dodge you were eliminated , while you could also sabotage ur enemy\'s dodging by pushing them into harms way.

The contest lasted till one team lost all members.

This group event was also in a one v one team format , hence would have multiple rounds. SMG needed to win a lot of matches to qualify for nationals.

With soo many variables introduced such as sabotaging enemies , and multiple cannons randomly shooting dodgeballs. The difficulty of the event was sky high.

This would be a tough challenge for a skilled player with good reflexes like SMG , as the even the slightest slip up would spell death.

This game was made for those who had the utmost concentration and overall environmental awareness , it was a game made for naturally talented players with extremely agile classes.

Theives , Assassin\'s and Rangers were the only one who could possibly compete in the event , as their inherent build was based on agility stat.

In the very first game , SMG understood that the game was much more difficult than it appeared on the surface , the 15 cannons had no rhythm to how the dodgeballs were coming. He felt as if the cannonballs randomly targetted players instead of launching random shots.

Sometimes a player would have 3 or more dodgeballs targetted at their location , while sometimes you went about 20 seconds without a single ball coming your way.

Trying to sabotage your opponents was also harder than it seemed , as trying to do so unsuccessfully lead to being eliminated themselves.. Overall it was a much more difficult event than it seemed in theory to play.
