Xiaoshan Gymnasium.
After Team Excellent Era was sold off, the lease contract was terminated early and the old name was restored. But to the staff at the gymnasium, nothing seemed to have changed. After a year, Glory Pro Alliance matches were being played in the gymnasium again. Their work was still the same.
"Sorry miss, we have to clear the gymnasium." A staff member quickly walked to the side of a spectator standing below the stage and gave the order to chase the guest away.
"Sorry, I'll leave immediately." Chen Guo immediately apologized to the staff member and prepared to leave. But after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but turn her head back.
The spectator stands, the player preparation area, the stage …
It had been almost two hours since the end of the match, but looking at all of this, Chen Guo could still clearly remember the scene of the match. She could even remember where the passionate Happy fans had stood up and waved their arms to cheer Happy.
"Is this our home stadium?"
Happy's first home match had ended, but Chen Guo's heart still hadn't calmed down. It wasn't that she hadn't watched a match in this gymnasium before, and it wasn't that she hadn't experienced the atmosphere of a home stadium. But this time, the feeling was completely different from when she watched Excellent Era's matches.
"Miss …" Seeing that Chen Guo hadn't taken a few steps before suddenly stopping in a daze, the staff member came over to remind her.
"Oh, sorry." Chen Guo hurriedly turned around and walked out of the gymnasium's final exit without looking back.
We'll come back to this place again. We'll win again and again and again. We'll keep winning. Chen Guo's footsteps were very quick. Her heart was also very excited.
9 to 1!
Even though she greedily hoped for a perfect 10 to 0 win, this kind of result was enough to make her happy. Chen Guo took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey! Where did everyone go! "Chen Guo said loudly.
"We should be the ones asking you that …" the person on the other end of the phone replied.
"I just stayed at the gymnasium for a bit longer to experience the atmosphere of a home stadium," Chen Guo said.
"Everyone's already gone, right boss?"
"Yes, the light is gone, so we can rest assured and come out to play. Let's go and celebrate!" Chen Guo said.
"Isn't it too late?"
"Make an exception this time! This is our first home game! And you won so beautifully, "Chen Guo said.
"Alright..." Ye Xiu hung up the phone.
This was a Happy night, at least in this place.
The strongest new team in history had won 9 to 1 against Hundred Blossoms.
Happy Beauty Rookie! She made a name for herself in the arena.
The next day, as expected, news of Happy's battle with Hundred Blossoms made the headlines of all the major esports media outlets and portals. Chen Guo could finally hold her head high. During breakfast, she took a cup of milk and browsed the web in front of the computer. She didn't drink the milk until it was cold. She just sat there and laughed foolishly.
The dazzling praises made her burst with joy. Occasionally, when there was a disagreement, she would just laugh it off and say, "I won't lower myself to your level." The one who was mentioned the most was, without a doubt, Tang Rou. Her exciting performance in the group arena was too unforgettable. Quite a few people were already talking about the Best Rookie. In a Glory player poll for the Best Rookie, Tang Rou was already at the top.
However, Chen Guo knew that the Best Rookie award wasn't a fan vote like the All-Stars. Instead, it was a comprehensive evaluation based on the player's performance in the previous season. It wasn't a guarantee that one would be chosen just because they were popular. The poll she was looking at was just for the entertainment of the players. It had no reference value to the officials.
Even so, seeing Tang Rou so popular made Chen Guo very happy.
After seeing enough of this excitement, Chen Guo went to the Glory Alliance's official website and began to look up the statistics.
The official statistics were all over the place. DPS, DPS buffs, healing, damage taken, damage reduction, highest combo, final kill, and so on and so forth.
A player's strength and performance could all be reflected through the statistics. However, for the majority of the players, they weren't analyzing the statistics, but rather looking at the rankings.
The DPS rankings were always the most popular. They were divided into group arena DPS and team DPS. As for the individual competition, those were determined directly. There was also a win rate ranking, which didn't take into account DPS.
Tang Rou had displayed her strength on stage, so Chen Guo naturally wanted to see her DPS ranking.
However, two rounds had already passed. Even though Tang Rou's performance was astonishing, in the first round against Samsara, she had lost to Sun Xiang. Her DPS wasn't very good. After two rounds, Tang Rou's ranking wasn't as spectacular as Chen Guo had hoped. On the DPS rankings, the one who had defeated Chen Guo in the first round was Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang had almost 1v2 in the group arena in the first round. His DPS didn't lose to Tang Rou's in the last round. And in the second round, Samsara played an away game against Seaside and won a clean 10 to 0. And this time, in the group arena, Sun Xiang had completed a 1v2. After two rounds, his total DPS of 142546 was far higher than Tang Rou's 70421.
It could even be said that comparing Tang Rou to the number one spot was a mistake.
Tang Rou was currently ranked 31st out of the 84 contestants who had appeared on the Arena Damage Output List, which was slightly above average. Before her, there were 30 contestants, including Sun Xiang, who had a higher damage output than her in two complete rounds.
And this was only the DPS rankings. In terms of average, Tang Rou's ranking was even lower, 41st out of 84, very mediocre.
Chen Guo was slightly disappointed that she didn't see the results she had hoped for. She scrolled her mouse, looking for the names of the other Happy players on the rankings. When she scrolled to the bottom, the zeroes of Mo Fan and Deception, who were ranked 84th, were quite eye-catching.
"Isn't it a bit too early to look at these?" Ye Xiu's voice came from beside her.
"I'm just looking around." Chen Guo turned her head and glanced at Ye Xiu.
"It's only been two rounds. The rankings aren't stable yet. Who's ranked first?" Ye Xiu was eating breakfast. He was also holding a cup of milk, drinking as he asked.
"Sun Xiang." Chen Guo pulled back the number one spot for Ye Xiu to see.
"140,000? That strong? That's almost a 1v2 in two rounds! "Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah!" Chen Guo was quite gloomy. She really hoped that Tang Rou was the only one who could do a 1v2. But now that she looked at the rankings, there were quite a few outstanding players.
"If they're playing so fiercely, wouldn't some of them be unable to get any points?" Ye Xiu laughed.
Chen Guo stared blankly for a moment, then scrolled down the rankings again. In the end, she found Zhou Zekai's name at 80th. Not far ahead, Huang Shaotian's and Wang Jiexi's names complemented each other.
Zhou Zekai, Huang Shaotian, Wang Jiexi.
Who dared to say that these three were bad DPS? But after two rounds, each of them looked weaker than the other on the DPS rankings. In reality, it wasn't that they were bad, but that they didn't have any opportunities to perform. These three were the gatekeepers of their respective teams in the group arena. Take Zhou Zekai for example. In the first round, he met Lord Grim, who didn't have much health left, and the match ended in just a few exchanges. In the second round, he didn't even have a chance to play. After Samsara's second player came out, the group arena ended.
Under these circumstances, Zhou Zekai's DPS was naturally quite dismal.
As a result, Glory's DPS rankings could point out certain problems, but it had to be analyzed in the context of the actual situation. It couldn't be based solely on numbers. After all, Glory's competitive system had its own characteristics. For example, in the group arena, if your teammates were too strong, you didn't have to go out and didn't have to deal any damage.
Chen Guo immediately flipped through the other rankings. Because he had been swept in the first round, whether it was the overall or average rankings, Happy was very low-key right now. It wasn't as lively as today's news.
"What's the current situation on the rankings?" Ye Xiu asked from the side.
"You haven't seen it yet?" Chen Guo said as she flipped through the rankings.
"Not yet." Ye Xiu leaned forward. He was clearly more concerned about this.
"Samsara's number one. They've won another round. 20 points," Chen Guo said as she flipped open the rankings.
"Mm." Ye Xiu replied and then looked down. Samsara was at the top with 20 points after two rounds. Behind them were Wind Howl, Blue Rain, and Micrograss, all with 18 points. For now, they were ranked 2-4 in alphabetical order. Fifth was Tyranny with 17 points. Sixth was Misty Rain with 15 points. At this point, it looked like they were currently in the top half of the rankings. After Misty Rain, seventh place Thunder's points fell by a large margin. They had 11 points after two rounds. After them were Royal Style and Void, with 10 points, eighth and ninth respectively. After that, Happy made a dazzling appearance. Tenth place with 9 points. And Happy's neighbor just happened to be the team they had just defeated, Hundred Blossoms.
After two rounds, Hundred Blossoms also had 9 points. In alphabetical order, their B should be ahead of Happy's X. But now that the two teams had played against each other, Happy had a 9 to 1 advantage. With the same number of points, they were ranked ahead of Hundred Blossoms. After Hundred Blossoms was 301 Degrees with 7 points. After them were the various mid-tier teams. After two rounds, not a single team made it into the top half of the rankings. They all obediently stayed at the back.
Happy's closest team, Heavenly Swords, had 3 points after two rounds. They were now second from the bottom and were about to be relegated.
After Heavenly Swords, the last place team was Seaside. Zhao Yang had retired. Hai Wuliang had been sold. Seaside, which had originally been in the middle of the Alliance, had fallen to the bottom.
However, it was only two rounds, so it was still too early to talk about the team's future. Heavenly Swords and Seaside were two teams in the relegation zone. Their opponents in the first two rounds were quite strong. Heavenly Swords had played against Hundred Blossoms and Blue Rain. Seaside had played against Misty Rain and Samsara. They couldn't be blamed for not putting in enough effort.
However, Heavenly Swords, who had lost to Hundred Blossoms 2-8, turned around and saw Happy take down Hundred Blossoms 9-1. They couldn't help but sigh.
"It really is different!" Lou Guanning sighed.
