Ye Xiu, who claimed to have won a 1v3, left the stage. Fortunately, this was only said to the referee. If the entire stadium knew about this, the boos would probably blow Ye Xiu out of the player tunnel.
Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang left the player booths at about the same time. Naturally, they returned to their respective player booths at about the same time.
Happy naturally gave Ye Xiu a hero's welcome. What about Excellent Era? Tao Xuan was so depressed that he almost couldn't take it anymore, but he still patted Sun Xiang to comfort him. "Not bad, just a little bit."
That's right!
0.03%. Wasn't it just a little bit more? But just that little bit was the difference between heaven and hell. Sun Xiang stared blankly at Happy with mixed feelings. He didn't say anything in response to his boss's comfort. After nodding, he sat down by himself.
"You must win the next match." Tao Xuan gave a firm order. As an experienced veteran team, they had experience dealing with all kinds of situations. However, Sun Xiang's loss to Ye Xiu wasn't as simple as losing their ace player. To Excellent Era, Ye Xiu had always held a special meaning.
Excellent Era was clearly in the lead, but after Ye Xiu's narrow victory, the atmosphere in the stadium changed. Excellent Era's fans fell silent. Sun Xiang, who had always been arrogant, also fell silent. Excellent Era needed a soul-stirring victory to regain their momentum.
After exhorting the next player, Tao Xuan looked at Happy's side and his heart suddenly sank.
Sun Zheping!
Team Happy's fifth player in the group arena was actually Sun Zheping.
Tao Xuan glanced at Xiao Shiqin. This vice-captain, whom he relied heavily on, had analyzed the lineup before the match and thought that Sun Zheping wouldn't appear in the group arena.
Sun Zheping was once a God. His sudden appearance in Team Happy would naturally attract the attention of the media. There were also reporters who tried to interview him.
With Sun Zheping's personality, he wouldn't hide his hand injury. He frankly told the reporters about his condition. As a result, Xiao Shiqin concluded that Sun Zheping would only appear in the group arena or the group arena against Excellent Era.
After all, the intensity of a match against Excellent Era couldn't be compared to a match against other teams. Unless Sun Zheping decisively gave up when he saw that the situation wasn't right, he would definitely lose a lot of energy. The group arena and the group arena was too heavy a burden.
However, he was also an extremely strong player. This was enough to see from the few times he had played in the previous matches. As a result, Xiao Shiqin guessed that Sun Zheping would definitely conserve energy in the group arena and appear in the more important group arena.
In the end, Sun Zheping was Happy's last player in the group arena. This greatly surprised Xiao Shiqin. In this position, if Sun Zheping fell behind in the early stages, he would have a huge burden on him. For example, right now, he had to face two opponents in a row. No matter if he won or lost, could he still play in the group arena?
"Could it be that the news from the interview was fake?" Tao Xuan said.
"I don't think so …" Xiao Shiqin said. When he had entered the Alliance, Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping had been at the peak of Hundred Blossoms, so he had a good understanding of this God. It didn't seem like his personality to engage in this kind of scheming outside of a match! In Xiao Shiqin's impression of him, he had always been a man who spoke his mind. Even if he was in the wrong, he would face it directly and would not try to hide it. What's more, it wasn't like him to make an issue out of something like a hand injury.
Finally, after a few years of retirement, his personality had changed. But looking at his performance, he was still the same as before, wild and unrestrained like fire.
As a result, there was only one explanation. Sun Zheping wouldn't appear in the group arena.
Then who would appear in the group arena?
In this way, Team Excellent Era's arrangements for the group arena were somewhat disrupted. Xiao Shiqin hadn't thought that Sun Zheping, Happy's number two player, who could even be said to be on par with Ye Xiu, wouldn't appear in the group arena? This was as unexpected as not bringing a Cleric!
But no matter what, the roster for the group arena had already been decided. It couldn't be changed now. Fortunately, there were instructions for the group arena. When the time came, they could make specific adjustments based on the situation! Xiao Shiqin took a deep breath and stopped making random guesses. He calmed down and continued to watch the match.
Team Happy, Sun Zheping up.
Excellent Era, Shen Jian, a Striker.
This was probably the only group arena matchup today that Happy looked strong on paper.
Sun Zheping, a former God-level player. Even though he had retired many years ago, it was because of an injury, not because of a decline in his condition. Seeing how Zhang Jiale, who was from the same generation as him, was still active on stage, it was clear that if he didn't have an injury, he wouldn't be any worse than Zhang Jiale. At the very least, he would be at the All Star level.
As for Excellent Era's Shen Jian? In Team Excellent Era, he could only be considered part of the main roster.
Before Sun Xiang came to Excellent Era, Excellent Era's relatively stable lineup for the group arena consisted of Ye Xiu's Battle Mage, Su Mucheng's Launcher, Liu Hao's Spellblade, Guo Yang's Qigong Master, and Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric. He Ming's Elementalist was usually the sixth player in the starting lineup.
Shen Jian was a rotating player during that period. Sometimes, according to the different opponents, the lineup had to be adjusted, and he would have a certain chance to appear.
After Ye Xiu left, Excellent Era was relegated. Along with Liu Hao and He Ming, they became the transfer targets for Xiao Shiqin. Guo Yang also left after that. Excellent Era's original lineup was only left with Su Mucheng and Zhang Jiaxing. As a player with a certain amount of skill and experience, Shen Jian was one of the main roster members.
No matter how you looked at it, Excellent Era was still a powerhouse. To be able to become a rotation player like Shen Jian already meant that he was quite skilled. If he was in a small or mid-sized team, he would probably be a core member of the main roster. However, this type of player wasn't enough for Sun Zheping. Right now, the only thing that worried people was that Sun Zheping, who had retired due to injury for so many years, had suddenly returned. It was said that his injury hadn't fully recovered yet. How much skill did he have left? His previous performances had been quite strong, but Team Excellent Era wasn't normal. Shen Jian had only been a rotating player in Excellent Era. Now, he was a normal main roster member. However, if he was thrown into a team like Team Mysterious Fantasy or Team Jade Dynasty, he would probably be a core player.
In front of this type of opponent, would Sun Zheping be able to perform as well as he had in the past?
This match presented everyone with this kind of suspense. In this match, the main character wasn't a player from Excellent Era, but the former number one Berserker, Sun Zheping.
Yes, the topic was once again focused on Sun Zheping. What was Team Happy ….? It was always casually overlooked.
