The crowd couldn't calm down for a long time. How close was the relationship between Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng? Because Ye Xiu had always kept a low profile, the fans didn't have a deep understanding of him. As a result, they were shocked by Su Mucheng's public decision to break away from Excellent Era and join Happy's camp before the end of the match.
Why did she do this?
The crowd was in an uproar, but no one could give them an answer. Even Pan Lin and Li Yibo, who were in the middle of the broadcast, were dumbstruck by this bold move. They couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Su Mucheng's move … Su Mucheng's move …" Pan Lin was the first to regain his senses. He wanted to say a few words about this crazy move, but when the words came out of his mouth, he couldn't find the right words to describe it. He had never seen this kind of situation before. No matter how experienced a commentator was, he didn't have any experience with this kind of situation.
"Is there a rule in the Alliance that says this?" Pan Lin suddenly blurted out after thinking for a long time.
"What do you mean?" Li Yibo asked.
"It means … it means …" Pan Lin wanted to say the rule of "not allowing players to sit in another team's player seats," but then he thought about it again. Su Mucheng had never publicly turned her back on her opponent before, but if you were talking about sitting in another team's player seats during a match, it couldn't be said that it had never happened before. Sometimes, when two teams had a good relationship off the stage, they would go over and exchange a few words, which was something that happened occasionally. However, this kind of action was more or less sensitive, so it usually happened under certain circumstances.
But today's Su Mucheng was definitely not an exception. What she did was exactly the kind of "sensitivity" that everyone was worried about. She directly and truly displayed this "sensitivity".
What should they say about this kind of action? Pan Lin's quick mouth as a commentator couldn't say anything now. Instead, it was Li Yibo who finally squeezed out a few words after racking his brain. "No matter what, Su Mucheng's actions are somewhat inappropriate. No matter what the reason is, this kind of action will probably deeply hurt her teammates and fans. No matter what kind of unhappiness she has with Team Excellent Era, she shouldn't have used this kind of method to resolve it. "
Li Yibo's words were clearly just empty words. Who would believe that he could do such a thing and say that he had a harmonious relationship with the team? There was definitely a conflict between Su Mucheng and Excellent Era, and it wasn't a small matter. This point didn't need the two of them to analyze. Everyone in the audience could guess. Right now, they were puzzled. What kind of conflict could it be that would cause Su Mucheng to publicly jump into the enemy's camp in the middle of a match?
Was it related to Ye Xiu?
Many people were thinking this. After all, in Team Happy, the only one who had a close relationship with Su Mucheng was Ye Xiu.
Everyone had different opinions.
The players were discussing it. The reporters and media were also using their own information and brains to analyze the cause of this matter. But the competition wouldn't stop because of this. After the group arena, the team competition would begin. The break time was slightly longer, and the staff members were nervously preparing the competition booths. The six people for the team competition might not be the same as the five for the group arena, so the equipment in the competition booths had to be changed after the previous round.
The players from both sides could also freely move around during this break time, such as going to the washroom or something. But the players from both teams didn't leave. On Excellent Era's side, Tao Xuan's face was already turning green. He didn't expect Su Mucheng to do this.
This way of breaking ties was too intense. It was so intense that it was unprecedented. The media would definitely be very interested in digging deeper. If they dug deeper, they would uncover a lot of problems. And these were all problems that Tao Xuan had been trying to cover up. Now, because of this intense fuse, it was very likely that it would explode in front of the public. How could Tao Xuan remain calm? As for Su Mucheng joining Happy, this wasn't actually a problem that he cared about, because this was something that he knew would happen. From the moment Su Mucheng firmly rejected all attempts to renew her contract, he already knew. He was quite clear about the relationship between Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu. When he was preparing to give up on Ye Xiu, he was already mentally prepared to give up on Su Mucheng. To him, her departure wasn't unexpected. What he was surprised about was the way it happened.
But right now, Tao Xuan didn't even have time to think about how to deal with this problem. Su Mucheng's actions had more or less affected Excellent Era's players. They still had the team competition ahead of them, so their morale couldn't be shaken at this moment.
Tao Xuan was busy trying to stabilize the morale of the players. Happy's side, on the other hand, was joyous and harmonious. If you just looked at the atmosphere between the two teams, no one would believe that Excellent Era had won the group arena by a single point. From the looks of it, it seemed like Team Excellent Era was behind by a large margin.
The audience was noisy for as long as the break lasted. Everyone was only concerned about Su Mucheng's problem from the beginning to the end. The following team competition was almost completely forgotten. Just as everyone was still at a loss, the live broadcast announced that the team competition was about to begin.
On Excellent Era's side, Tao Xuan personally came out to stabilize the morale of the players. As teammates, they all knew that Su Mucheng would be leaving after the season ended. So when they saw Su Mucheng's actions, they were just as surprised as Tao Xuan.
"Don't give them any chances in the team competition. Good luck, guys!" Tao Xuan clapped his hands and encouraged them. The other worries in his heart were well hidden. No matter what, winning the competition was the most important thing.
"Okay, let's go!" Sun Xiang, who had lost to Ye Xiu in the group arena, seemed to have readjusted himself. As the captain, he walked at the front, leading Team Excellent Era's players to the player booths.
Sun Xiang, Xiao Shiqin, Qiu Fei, Shen Jian, Zhang Jiaxing, and the sixth player, Wang Ze.
The lineups had been decided before the match, so it couldn't be changed at the last minute. From this, it was clear that Su Mucheng, as Excellent Era's third All-Star player, wasn't listed in the lineups for the team competition. From this, it was clear that Tao Xuan had deep suspicions about Su Mucheng. He didn't have the means to hold Su Mucheng hostage in the team competition, so he might as well just kick her to the side.
"Are you all ready?" On Happy's side, Ye Xiu spoke, but his words weren't for the entire team, only for one person.
"We're ready." One person in the player booths nodded and then stood up. At this moment, it was Excellent Era's turn to introduce the players.
Wu Chen, Launcher, Dawn Rifle.
When this introduction resounded throughout the stadium, Team Excellent Era's advancing steps came to a halt.
It wasn't just them. When the audience heard this name, they were also stunned.
Whether it was Excellent Era or Happy, to the audience who had been following the match, they were all familiar with the names. But Wu Chen... this person was undoubtedly a member of Team Happy, but in the offline matches, he had never appeared in a single match. And now, in the finals, at the most crucial moment, he was going to appear?
There was no applause in the stadium.
A player who had never appeared before, and wasn't a player who had given everyone unlimited expectations. His appearance only gave the audience an inexplicable feeling, and not the anticipation of everyone's attention. Even in the broadcast commentary, Pan Lin and Li Yibo were crazily criticizing Happy's appearance. They were finally released from their confusion over Su Mucheng's problem. They analyzed Wu Chen's arrangement, and in the end, they didn't think highly of it.
"Facing Excellent Era's Happy is too difficult, so they wanted to use a surprise attack. But for a player who has never played in a match to appear in the finals, it's too rash. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough! "Li Yibo analyzed.
At the same time, the players on both sides walked to their respective player booths.
Team Happy. The players on the team were Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, Baozi, Qiao Yifan, An Wenyi, and Wu Chen.
Wei Chen and Sun Zheping, the two veterans, didn't appear in the team competition. Sun Zheping had a hand injury, so he couldn't play too much. As for Wei Chen, the fact that he was too old meant that his energy was limited. Normally, this wasn't obvious in the game. He would be as energetic as a youngster if he stayed up all night to kill monsters. But in a high level competition, his energy would decline faster than anyone else's. Happy had fought several tough battles in the offline tournament. Wei Chen, who had worked hard and contributed a lot, felt his energy run out as the game went on.
The original arrangement for the group arena was for Wei Chen to face Sun Xiang. It was impossible to predict how much damage such a tough battle would cause to Wei Chen. Therefore, in the final arrangement, Wei Chen, who had fought in the group arena, was not included in the team competition. In the end, even though Wei Chen didn't face Sun Xiang, the All Star level Xiao Shiqin was still an extremely difficult opponent. This kind of arrangement that considered his energy consumption came in handy in the end.
Happy's only other player who didn't appear was Luo Ji. His skill level was slightly lower, so in this crucial battle, he obviously couldn't be used to train.
The biggest surprise was Wu Chen.
After this analysis, Wu Chen's appearance didn't seem to be a surprise move, but rather Happy's helplessness.
Wu Chen silently walked with Happy's team, oblivious to the heated discussion he had caused. As a player of Team Everlasting who had been stuck in the Challenger League for many years, Wu Chen hadn't received this kind of attention in a long time. Even in the pro scene, he hadn't received this kind of attention.
Among the pro players, his skill level wasn't at the top.
But he also had a dream, and he pursued it tirelessly. In truth, Wu Chen had prepared for this battle for a long time, maybe even too long. He had always hoped for Team Everlasting to pass this hurdle and return to the Alliance. Team Everlasting no longer existed, but the dream in his heart hadn't been completely extinguished.
Pass the Challenger League and return to the Alliance!
