Their players moved with a sinister confidence, their eyes glinting with determination. Kaito could feel the weight of their reputation pressing down on him.
"Stay sharp, everyone," Kaito said, his voice steady despite the nerves. "They'll try to get into our heads. Don't let them."
The match started with a furious pace as Team Eclipse launched an aggressive assault. Kaito quickly shouted commands, urging his team to stay coordinated. Ryo charged forward, eager to engage in combat, while Mina provided support from a distance.
But as the battle unfolded, Kaito realized that Team Eclipse was playing a different game. Their attacks were calculated, and their movements seemed almost choreographed. They worked seamlessly, using feints and distractions to throw Kaito's team off balance.
"Watch out for their flanker!" Kaito called, trying to regain control. "Ryo, keep an eye on the left side!"
However, just as they began to regroup, Team Eclipse's captain, a player named Sora, unleashed a devastating combo, knocking Ryo back and leaving him vulnerable.
"Mina, heal him!" Kaito shouted, panic rising in his chest.
As Mina rushed to provide support, Kaito felt a nagging feeling of uncertainty. Team Eclipse's psychological tactics were in play, and he had to find a way to break through their strategy.

Kaito gritted his teeth, refusing to let Sora's words penetrate his focus. "Stay strong! Don't let them get to you!"
But as the match wore on, he noticed Ryo faltering under the pressure. The brash confidence he usually exhibited was dimming, and Kaito couldn't let that happen. "Ryo, remember our training! We're a team, and we can do this together!"
With a renewed sense of purpose, Ryo nodded, shaking off the doubt. "Right! I won't back down!"
Kaito took a deep breath, trying to center himself amidst the chaos. "We need to change our tactics. Let's split our focus and target their healer. We can't let them maintain their advantage."
Mina nodded, determination in her eyes. "I'll coordinate the healing while we attack."
