Of course, agreeing to the interview wasn't just to tease the reporter. After Fang Rui finished joking, he seriously answered Chang Xian's question. From personal to team, he explained why he had chosen to change classes.
In the next issue of Esports Home, Chang Xian's exclusive interview naturally made the front page. And this so-called interview with Fang Rui was actually an introduction to Team Happy's team structure and strategy after Fang Rui's introduction. This detailed explanation even attracted the attention of the pro scene. After many of them read it, they suddenly realized that Team Happy's current class composition had many variations.
Just from Fang Rui's shocking addition, what class was Fang Rui's most familiar partner? Brawler! And so, coincidentally, Team Happy had a Brawler. Even though Fang Rui had changed classes to Qi Master, his coordination with a Brawler wouldn't disappear just because he changed classes.
Then again, Fang Rui's class change, Qi Master, was the most reliable helper by Ye Xiu's side during the Excellent Era's founding dynasty. After that, he was one of the main characters of Team Excellent Era. Ye Xiu was completely familiar with coordinating with a Qi Master, and Su Mucheng definitely wasn't unfamiliar with it either.
And as for Team Excellent Era's original core class, the Battle Mage, it just so happened that Happy also had one. Unlike what they had imagined, the classic coordination from Excellent Era's history was probably going to reappear in Happy.
After organizing and analyzing the situation, everyone completely realized that Fang Rui's change to Happy was a perfect fit, and getting a Qi Master was a perfect fit for Happy. Now, Fang Rui and the Qi Master seemed to be Happy's tactical pivot, connecting all the classes together.
But the core of Happy still wasn't the core of the team. Who was Happy's core? Even a fool would know that it was Ye Xiu. And what was Ye Xiu's current occupation? Unspecialized! This class lacked high-end practical research. As for what role it could play in a team, there were still people who couldn't say for sure. He was clearly the foundation that Happy had built up, but even now, he was the most mysterious one. Even though Ye Xiu and Lord Grim had been around for a long time, before he entered the pro scene, the pro scene would at most be curious about unspecialized characters. Who would plan ahead and conduct thorough research on unspecialized characters?
But now, Ye Xiu Really had returned, along with his unspecialized and a team that did not seem weak.
If there were people who didn't value Happy before, then after Fang Rui's transfer, everyone had to change their views. Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, a team with three All Stars. If they didn't value them, then what kind of team did they value?
Admittedly, Happy's character would be a bit weaker, their facilities would be a bit simpler, and their finances would be a bit tighter. But in a match, as long as these three top players were there, no one would dare to underestimate them.
Grassroots?
A grassroots team with three All Stars? No one could continue to call them that. Were they a dark horse? Happy was going to be another dark horse this season, right? Just like last season's Heavenly Swords?
No … Heavenly Swords might not even be that dark. Heavenly Swords' strength had mostly been hyped up. All sorts of topics had raised people's attention to them. With more attention, more expectations. Their dark side had been pushed out by public opinion.
But Happy? With three All Stars, no one had the nerve to say that they weren't dark!
In the Glory forums, in the noob circles, the expert circles, and even the pro player circles, everyone was discussing what kind of impact Happy would have on them this season. Compared to the time in the Challenger League, Happy had suddenly become much more powerful. And all of this came from the addition of Fang Rui, from the fact that Happy dared to make such a big transfer.
This was an attitude, from the player to the team.
Happy valued All Stars. Happy joined.
Happy dared to make such a big move to bring in All Star characters and All Star players.
Happy's goal was to win the championship?
There weren't many people who were still laughing. A team with three All Stars was a strong team in the eyes of the average player. It was a team that had the qualifications to compete for the championship. Only the rational players were still observing Happy's shortcomings from all aspects. And the vast majority of them had already become hot-headed because of Fang Rui's transfer.
Happy, championship!
There really were people who dared to shout such a slogan. Before this, even Seven Fields and the others, who had been loyal to Happy ever since they met Ye Xiu in the tenth server, were too embarrassed to face Happy's goal of winning the championship.
But now, any random Glory player could tell you how strong Happy was.
Happy's transfer was once again exposed. And at this moment, the Glory game company and the Pro Alliance both found Happy. They were going to start promoting Happy's merchandise. Character models, Happy's account cards, and so on and so forth. The development of these products had been agreed upon from the moment they joined the Alliance, so they didn't need to waste time looking for other partners. As for the profits, all the teams shared the same amount. The teams didn't have to do much. All they had to do was provide their image. After that, they probably had to achieve results, gain popularity, and stimulate the sales of all sorts of merchandise.
And in the initial plans of the Alliance and the game company, Su Mucheng, who had always been popular, obviously couldn't be left out. Even after Excellent Era's downfall in the Challenger League last season, merchandise related to Su Mucheng and her Dancing Rain were still very popular. And now, Dancing Rain and Su Mucheng had reached Happy together. For merchandise, this sort of inseparable relationship was most welcome. For example, the character model with the highest sales volume was a Launcher equipped by Dancing Rain. Paired with Su Mucheng's actual figure and appearance, this sort of two-for-one model was the most popular.
In comparison, Chu Yunxiu and Windy City Misty Rain were in an awkward situation. The player was female, but the character was male. There was no way to combine the two. As a result, in the end, they could only sell Windy City Misty Rain's character model. As for the character model, the sales volume was quite average. Sure enough, everyone still preferred the character model in the game.
In the beginning, no one had noticed this situation, but now that they did, Team Misty Rain was very depressed. Because of the high status of the pro scene and the mutual benefits of the game company, changing the character's gender and appearance wasn't a big deal. However, Windy City Misty Rain had been a man for so long that everyone was already used to it. If he suddenly changed to a woman, the fans probably wouldn't be able to accept it. Misty Rain could only endure it. But this time, Misty Rain had signed in the sisters. After recognizing their strength and performance, Misty Rain decided not to repeat the same mistake. Taking advantage of the fact that the two characters weren't famous enough, this summer, the game company finally approved of changing the gender of the two characters and made a special announcement.
Because changing this wouldn't break the game's balance, the players didn't have any objections to the pro scene having this kind of privilege. In addition, unifying the player's gender and character's gender was quite good in the eyes of the players. In particular, the two especially beautiful girls controlling the two rough men's characters ruined the mood quite a bit.
On Happy's side, Su Mucheng and Cheng Yu Mu Feng were without a doubt. Then there was Tang Rou and Han Yanrou. These beauties with perfect temperaments and conditions were really perfect. The Alliance and the game company regarded them as treasures. They found an excellent team to create a Tang Rou character model of Han Yanrou. After that, they prayed that Tang Rou would be able to play well and make a name for herself. After all, this was still the pro scene. Tyrannical strength was an evergreen tree that would never fade.
On Happy's side, they originally wanted to release three models and three account cards in the first week. Su Mucheng and Tang Rou were just the two characters. Then there was the troublesome Ye Xiu.
Originally, their expectations for Ye Xiu were higher than Su Mucheng and Tang Rou. This was a peerless expert that had been hidden for many years. Now that he was finally willing to reveal himself, the Alliance and the game company were red-eyed and wanted to dig him up. But when it came time to actually find him, the game company's hearts were about to break.
Glory was designed by them, including the equipment. And this Lord Grim's mix and match style made the game company sigh in amazement. What kind of choice was this to make such an unsightly combination of equipment? The game company obviously wouldn't purposely make ugly equipment. It either had to be exquisite, or it had to have characteristics that left a deep impression on the players. But why did Lord Grim's equipment look so awkward? For a moment, the game company even had the thought of cheating and changing the appearance of Lord Grim's equipment so that the mix and match style of the set would appear more elegant. But it was just an impulse. This sort of change would have too big of an impact. Even though the equipment's appearance didn't affect the stats, in theory, it wouldn't break the game's balance. But if they made Lord Grim's equipment look harmonious and beautiful, what would they do if someone else wore it?
In the end, it was because of Lord Grim's abnormal class. The equipment he wore didn't conform to the aesthetic of Glory.
The experts surrounded Lord Grim's current appearance and observed it for a long time. After discussing it for a long time, they all shook their heads. They admitted defeat.
The Alliance was depressed. The game company was depressed. But as they persevered, they suddenly thought of another plan. They were going to release a commemorative One Leaf Of Autumn. Yes, the former One Leaf Of Autumn, the One Leaf Of Autumn that had Ye Xiu's appearance. This should make up for many people's regrets, right?
Would it really? Soon, some people were doubtful.
It wasn't hard to create this combination. Even though One Leaf Of Autumn already belonged to Samsara, as long as it was split between Samsara and Happy, it would be fine. But the problem was that One Leaf Of Autumn didn't have Ye Xiu's appearance before. If it had been a figurine, it would have sold like hotcakes a long time ago. The current commemorative edition was nothing more than adding in Ye Xiu's appearance.
The figurine was based on the mighty image of the game's 2D character. Adding in the player's image was just a kind of loving combination. The so-called Excellent Era One Leaf Of Autumn had already sold a lot. It was just that it didn't have Ye Xiu's face. Adding in the player's image, would it really be that much of a gimmick? After careful consideration, everyone hesitated. After all, as players in the competitive scene, their main selling point had never been their face.
Why was this Ye Xiu so troublesome?
The Alliance and the Glory game company, the two major powers, were about to cry.
