In the players' area, Ronan naturally had no idea that just because he had chosen Silver Flash as his mech for today's match, he had already been torn to shreds by a famous sports commentator.
He was a little excited.
If the previous friendly match had merely shown off his skill at piloting mechs, then today's match was a true test for Ronan.
During the pre-match meeting, Ronan's intention to use Silver Flash was opposed by the entire team, including Crow, the temporary manager.
Although Ronan had displayed astonishing spatial awareness and operational skill in the previous match, the map Decisive Battle of Gloomy City was truly ill-suited for a mech like Silver Flash!

Unlike Highway 76, Gloomy City was a capture map. The condition for victory was to seize Gloomy City's core and defend it for three minutes while fending off the enemy.
