The current round was Misty Rain's home game against Team Void. In the 1v1 matches, Misty Rain won one individual round and the group arena afterwards, gaining a lead of 3 to 2. Then, when their formation for the team competition appeared onscreen afterwards, the entire stadium erupted.
Team Wind Howl had created an all DPS formation, but they were smart about it, arranging for their healer to appear in the starting lineup like any normal team. As for if they'd switch their healer out for an all DPS formation, that was something their opponents had to contemplate. They might do a man-to-man offense, but they might do a normal one healer four DPS formation.
However, Misty Rain's formation didn't even have a healer in it. This was something that hadn't happened in the Alliance for who knows how many years, but now it had appeared with Misty Rain, a team which was often considered rather soft.
Were they cutting off all chance of backing down?
