Each of the advance team or scouts for each national teams have started their assaults on the flags of other teams. The ones that had the most action is those located in the jungle area as they are the hardest to defend and is the annex for all the areas in the second event.
The area that became the most dangerous is the center of the jungle area where a great tree is located. All the players that actually tried fleeing there or wanted to get the flag of that team got greeted by different traps that can kill them as the traps triggered like a chain reaction.
Those in the same area started to fight for the flags and the battle became messy as there are those who also waited for that opportunity. They did not care if they fight to the death as the respawn timer gave them a better chance in getting the flag of the opposing team.
A national team even got wiped out and the other players learned of something important. The respawn timer of the team members is dependent on the shortest one. A normal respawn is about five minutes but that is not true for the succeeding player that died in that five-minute mark.
They learned of this as they noticed that the two players that they killed from a team respawned at the same time despite them being killed by a two-minute interval. This information became crucial for all of the players as they could use this tactic in their favor.
This is the first time that a top player would use their deaths as an advantage as they always avoided being killed. Those that have suicidal skills used them when they find out information pertaining their opponents in order to respawn faster. The national team players are literally throwing themselves into the fire.
Not all of the players do this but all of them would if they are left with no choice. There are only twenty flags, and each flag will be difficult to steal. The ones that they are fearful of are the duo of Sveto and Anastacia as the two are practically invincible when together.
Any team that they target will have their flag stolen and they will even lay waste to their opponent. The only ones they are wary about is the middle part of the jungle that earned the name of 'Sure Death Zone'.
Even though Sveto is a living tank, Anastacia would also need to be worried as she might also trigger a trap. The two wanted to get that flag but decided to not bother when they saw a tank player die in a matter of seconds. Whoever managed to calculate the trajectory of each trap and it even accounted for the weight of the player is definitely a genius.
The ones dominating the south are definitely the Japan National Team because of the deadly combination of Blade, Vayu and Mariposa. The United States National Team that they encountered are putting up a good fight against them but someone from the South Korean Team wiped them out using a sandstorm.
The two teams dropped two flags each when they died during the sandstorm. They did not even notice that a sandstorm suddenly rolled in and the next thing they knew is that they are dead. Vayu on the other hand had an idea on who it might be as he heard a familiar giggle. He knows that giggle came from one his companions.
Vayu knew that Creepysoo is also in the desert and even he is not confident if he were to battle his undead knights. The fact that Creepysoo has an undead that can control sand is already an indicator that he practically owned the desert at this point.
Vayu knows how Creepysoo could empower undead just by existing. He is also not easy to deal with because of his undead knights that are named. He does not remember if Creepysoo has an undead that used sand, but Vayu just thought that he might have raised it from the dead. He did see other necromancers having undead with them despite not having any type of monster in this map.
The fight for the flags is not just focused on other people invading the base camps of the other teams but also stealing from those that stole. The fights that broke up became the highlight of the audience as they can see the players that they look up to in an all-out brawl.
The audience also cheered as they could see interesting characters among the players as each had their own quirk. They did not expect that a Trap Expert would actually be the reason why her team is leading in points despite being from a relatively unknown background.

"Seriously, why do all the strong contenders choose the desert as their base. It is breaking my heart that we barely have any point." Cersei stated as she grumbled because she needed to defend the base from other people. She is constantly using illusion magic in order to conceal their location. If anyone in the game is the best in illusion magic, then it is Cersei.
She is also great at defending the team from attacks as her curses are strong, but she is not great when it comes to invading. She is the perfect guard but that will not take them anywhere as her other team members are not that great at getting flags.
A while later, Cersei saw a familiar figure that any player would dread as she was the former second rank player that is now in the third rank. The figure of the beautiful Valkyrie could be seen emerging from the sands which sent chills down Cersei's spine.
"Of all the players that I must encounter, it just had to be one of those monsters." Cersei stated as she could see the figure of Frey. She is notorious for being very skilled in battles against players. She even has a class that is great against humanoids.
