As a senior writer, Cha Xiaoxia had quite a bit of influence in the Glory circle and had quite a few fans. His analysis had always been accurate, and as soon as this article came out, many people immediately nodded their heads: That's right, that's how it is. And then, the last part was written in a half-joking tone, but it made quite a few people take Team Happy seriously. Happy's strength immediately became a hot topic online, and some people were already looking forward to Cha Xiaoxia's detailed analysis of Happy's strength.
Outside of these hot topics, some less eye-catching transfers were also quietly happening. Every year at this time, there would always be a few free transfers. This year, everyone was too focused on the Golden Generation and neglected the others. And among these free transfers, there was actually a player who was quite famous.
Liu Hao.
The former vice-captain of Excellent Era, who came to Thunder in a trade with Xiao Shiqin. This season, Thunder's performance was quite good, and they were close to making it to the playoffs. In the end, they didn't make it to the playoffs, but with Team Thunder's situation, not many people would look too deeply into this point. Thunder always regarded Liu Hao as their core, even though he wasn't as useful as Xiao Shiqin.
But even so, Liu Hao, who only had one year left on his contract, still rejected Thunder's offer to extend his contract. From the beginning, he didn't plan on staying at Thunder for long, and he even hoped to leave during the winter transfer. Who would have thought that last season's winter transfer would coincide with Glory's big update? Every team became cautious in the transfer market, and no one wanted to strengthen a strong team with an uncertain future after the big update. Liu Hao's hopes were dashed.
Now, he was a free player whose contract had expired. As the former vice-captain of Team Excellent Era, Liu Hao's strength was actually quite outstanding. He hadn't made it to the All-Stars, but he wasn't far from it. Unfortunately, his competitor in the same class was Jiang Botao. In the past two years, Samsara had been in the limelight, and Jiang Botao's popularity had skyrocketed. Liu Hao was unfortunately left out of the list.
Liu Hao was not satisfied with such a situation. He completely looked down on a team like Thunder and refused to renew his contract. After the summer, Liu Hao finally received the olive branches that other teams had extended to him. Among them, there was finally a strong team that satisfied him.
Team Wind Howl!
Liu Hao joined Wind Howl on a free transfer. Among the transfers announced on the first day of July, this was second only to the news of Sun Xiang and Su Mucheng. And these people just so happened to be from the Excellent Era. Even though Liu Hao had already left the Excellent Era for a year, it was obvious that the Excellent Era tag on him was far greater than the Thunder tag on him.
All of a sudden, the three transfers made people feel even more sorry for the fall of the Excellent Era. As for Liu Hao joining Wind Howl, in the eyes of the pro scene, it was a good combination of powerhouses. Core Tang Hao, God of Dirty Fang Rui, Best Rookie Zhao Yuzhe, and Liu Hao. This lineup didn't seem particularly gorgeous, but it was still quite powerful. In a situation where the core of each team was relatively stable, Liu Hao, a second-tier powerhouse, could already be considered a very strong reinforcement.
However, Liu Hao's transfer made people think of another person.
Xiao Shiqin. His contract had also expired. Even Liu Hao, who had traded him to Excellent Era, had left in a hurry. There was still no news of Xiao Shiqin. Xiao Jinqin would also receive many offers. He would definitely have more options than Liu Hao. Which team would he go to?
There were many opinions in the pro scene. The names of the powerhouses were often mentioned. And no matter which team got Xiao Shiqin, they would have a breathtakingly gorgeous lineup. The Alliance seemed to be heading towards an era of superstars.
In the end, when news of Xiao Shiqin's transfer came out, everyone was taken aback. He actually returned to Team Thunder.
In order to pursue the championship, he gave up on Thunder and went to Excellent Era for the future. In the end, after a year, Excellent Era didn't return to the Alliance and was even facing disbandment. Some of the acrimonious fans had already begun to bring up the past, mocking his past decision. There was no such thing as returning to Thunder. In the face of Excellent Era's embarrassing loss, Xiao Shiqin needed to prove that his decision to leave was correct. He needed to choose a team with a higher chance of winning the championship. However, he returned to Thunder. This was no different from admitting that his past decision had failed. Xiao Shiqin didn't even have the courage to prove himself?
There were all sorts of rumors in the pro scene, but no matter what, everyone in Team Thunder, including the majority of fans, warmly welcomed Xiao Shiqin.
"Welcome home!"
On the day Xiao Shiqin returned to Thunder, he saw many fans gathered outside the club with such signs, waiting for his arrival. They didn't care about Xiao Shiqin's departure in the past. When Xiao Shiqin was in the most awkward situation, they gave him such support.
Xiao Shiqin couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears instantly wet his glasses. He cried as he walked out of the car. Surrounded by fans, he returned to his old club, his old home.
Soon after, Team Thunder announced another piece of news. They had set a record in the club's history of 9.5 million to buy back Life Extinguisher, who had gone to Excellent Era with Xiao Shiqin last year. At the same time, they had taken in Zhang Jiaxing, the Cleric player from Excellent Era.
In terms of monetary value, an All Star level character and the main healer of a powerhouse team could be said to be a bargain sale. However, Life Extinguisher was originally a character that Thunder had nurtured. Like Xiao Shiqin, his return didn't give off a strong feeling. On the other hand, the addition of Zhang Jiaxing was a rare and strong addition to Thunder. When the original healer had announced his retirement, Zhang Jiaxing's timely arrival had increased their strength instead of decreasing.
Thunder originally had another player who had also transferred over last year. He Ming was an Elementalist, but his contract was regrettable, unlike Liu Hao's, who only had a one-year contract. He Ming wasn't a free agent, so when he saw that Liu Hao couldn't wait to leave, he couldn't remain calm. He was prepared to take the initiative to find a new owner. However, now that he saw that Xiao Shiqin had returned, and that Thunder had managed to snatch Zhang Jiaxing from Excellent Era, he suddenly felt that Thunder had a bright future. After all, his strength wasn't as outstanding as Liu Hao's. In a situation where the lineups of the powerhouses were relatively stable, it would be very difficult for him to join a championship contender like Liu Hao and become a main player. From the looks of it, if he continued to stay in Thunder, he could at least become a team that could make it to the playoffs. There was still some hope.
Just as He Ming was feeling satisfied with his future, he received a notice from Thunder stating that he wasn't part of the club's plans for the future. The club would be sending him out in the near future, and he could contact his own way out. The club would make it easier for him.
When he wanted to leave, he couldn't leave. When he wanted to stay, he couldn't stay. He Ming gritted his teeth so hard they were about to shatter. However, the club had already made their stance clear. Even though it wasn't impossible for him to shamelessly stay in the club until the end of his contract, pro players needed to compete. The team obviously wouldn't let a player who wasn't part of the club's plans play. Not competing? Getting paid for nothing? This sounded like a good job, but for a pro player, this was definitely an action that would ruin his future. He Ming was still a bit stubborn. Seeing Thunder's attitude, he could only take the initiative to find a new owner.
Samsara, Tyranny, Micrograss, Blue Rain? He Ming wanted to go to these teams, but who would pay attention to him?
He Ming could only try to curry favor with a strong team one level lower than Thunderclap. At the very least, he wanted to find a better team than Thunderclap, but in the end, he ran into a wall everywhere. In the end, Thunder contacted him. When He Ming heard this, he was about to cry. Team Miracle! They had just joined the Alliance this year, and they had to fight to stay in the Alliance. He used to be the sixth player of a powerhouse like Excellent Era. How could he end up in a relegation team? He Ming wanted to refuse, but after being rejected by strong teams, his confidence had taken a hit. He was a bit afraid that no team would accept him. Just as he was hesitating, Miracle contacted him and promised him all kinds of things. They promised that Miracle would become stronger in the future. They definitely weren't a team that was only willing to stay in the Alliance.
He Ming saw that no other team was interested in him, and Miracle's extravagant persuasion moved him slightly. He thought about it. Chicken head, phoenix tail. If he couldn't be the phoenix tail, then being the chicken head wouldn't be bad. In any case, he would first enjoy being the core.
Finally, He Ming nodded and joined Team Miracle for a price of 2 million. Team Miracle was happy and mysteriously told him that there would be a surprise for him.
He Ming was stunned. Surprise? What surprise?
Could it be that Team Miracle was going to poach an all-star like Windy City's Misty Rain from Team Misty Rain for him to use?
In the end, Miracle's surprise soon came.
Excellent Era's players, Shen Jian and Wang Ze, joined Team Miracle for a total of 1,725,000.
He Ming was on the verge of tears. Was this the so-called surprise? When Miracle's manager cheerfully asked him "How does it feel to be reunited with your teammates", he really wanted to step on this guy's mouth.
1,725,000. Just listening to this price, He Ming felt that Team Miracle was a good-for-nothing. It was already boring enough to hang a change of 20,000, but you actually came up with 5,000. It was a transfer worth millions. How much haggling did they have to do in order to get 5,000 yuan out of it? With such a team, what did he want to buy Windy City's Misty Rain? He was really overthinking! Not to mention Windy City's Misty Rain, he could just get their original professional characters.
But, no.
Shen Jian and Wang Ze had already reported to Miracle, and He Ming had not heard the slightest rumor of a character acquisition at Miracle's side.
The three former teammates of Excellent Era met in Miracle's training room, which was as simple as a primary school classroom. The three people stared at each other, silent, with tears in their eyes.
