Frankly, team battles where the opponents are closely matched and the strength differential is not truly significant are rare occurrences. Mr. Su Bai remembered that the last proper team battle he was in took place in the story world of the Cat-faced Old Lady, and it occurred only because the broadcast created a squad mode, forcibly linking individual and team interests to create a "broadcast-driven" frenzy of activity.
It was a unique mode backed by the broadcast, but even so, a wave of team battles didn't immediately sweep through. The strong paired with the strong, and the weak banded together for warmth. In most cases, fights were scarce as one side would typically back down, recognizing the challenge.
Moreover, during that team battle, there had been traitors in both Mr. Su Bai's team and the opposing team, making the whole affair rather chaotic by the end.
But this time was different, at least it felt entirely different.
