Of course, Silver Weslan and the teams of various sizes under Elite's factions are just as eye-catching as in past years, but these two guilds have unique styles that ordinary people simply cannot learn, let alone the fact that Zhang Yu felt his own opinion might also be biased—considering Elite's style is not well-regarded by the public anyway.
However, a utilitarian approach to competition does not necessarily lead to good results. The defeat in the Murky Domain has already illustrated many problems; conservative strategies often seem awkward and disjointed when facing the aggressive offensives of top opponents.
But the bigger issue now is, if you're not utilitarian, you might not even survive domestically, not to mention qualifying for international competitions. To prevent excessive internal consumption, the war between Invokers is also limited. In international disputes, countries often select guilds and teams with the highest points in a season to participate in the war.
