They finished discussing the positioning issues. After that, the referee gave the calm and patient Mo Fan a yellow card. Mo Fan had no choice but to adjust, but the referee felt that it was a provocation, so he gave a second yellow card and sent Mo Fan out of the match.
"Mucheng, you've told him about the rules, right?" Ye Xiu asked.
"I did," Su Mucheng smiled.
"Mm, that's good." Ye Xiu nodded. He didn't look for Mo Fan to say anything, directly ending the match. "Let's watch the next match."
The next match was Tang Rou's spectacular 1v2. Because it was her own match, this time Tang Rou clearly participated more. She wasn't like Baozi, who didn't understand the situation. Her clear train of thought allowed her to learn the most from the review of her own match.
After the Challenger League, it was the team competition. Every match, every player's performance, including Happy's and Hundred Blossoms', were all carefully analyzed.
The reviews took an entire morning, which was already quite fast. After all, in this match, there were a few matches that required less analysis. For example, Ye Xiu's match against Hundred Blossoms' rookie Zeng Xinran, Fang Rui's two matches, and Mo Fan's match had less content. In addition, this was Happy's big win. Winning usually meant that there were fewer problems. Even though the opponent's mistakes could be used as a warning, it was still important to recognize your own problems and improve them. For example, Happy didn't need to emphasize too much on Hundred Blossoms' Zeng Xinran's nervousness.
But in the first round, when Samsara crushed them, too many problems were exposed. Last Monday, Happy's review of the first round went from morning to night.
After the review in the morning, it was practice as usual in the afternoon. The life of a pro player was this dull and repetitive. Every day, they did roughly the same thing. Passion, passion, all of that had to be left for Saturday night to release.
In the days when there were no matches, the players could only reminisce and look forward to it. In the second round of the competition, Happy versus Hundred Blossoms had stolen the limelight. However, objectively speaking, the live broadcast of Thunder's away game against Void was of a very high standard.
In this match, after Dai Yanqi had taken the lead in the individual competition, Thunderclap cleanly lost the next two individual and group arena matches in just a few clangs.
Thunderclap looked like they were on the verge of collapsing, and Void looked like they were going to win a big away game. However, no one would have thought that Thunder would actually make such a huge comeback in the team competition, defeating Void and snatching 5 points from the team. In the end, they won 6 to 4.
Such a dramatic scene was worthy of the live broadcast. However, the commentator was half-hearted, occasionally changing the topic to the match between Happy and Hundred Blossoms. As a result, it wasn't like there weren't any viewers who had opinions about it.
After the match, the majority of the comments were Happy versus Hundred Blossoms. But some professional media needed to report the whole thing in detail. For example, Esports Home didn't neglect to report the match between Thunder and Void.
The reporters and special commentators for this match all pointed out that Thunder had changed this season: they had become more confident.
With 7 points in the first match and 6 points in this match, Thunder currently had 13 points and was in 7th place on the leaderboard. They had started off well. If they could maintain this kind of stability, it wouldn't be a problem for them to get into the playoffs. (In Chapter 1165, Thunder's score was miscalculated. It was written as 11 points. Mistake.)
What was especially pointed out was Thunder's performance in the team competition. Team Thunder used to be led by Master Tactician Xiao Shiqin, so they had more room to show off their skills in the team competition. This season, Xiao Shiqin returned. Facing his former teammates, those who had grown up, and those who had new teammates, he didn't show any signs of unfamiliarity. He quickly formed the team. Parade and Void, who had played against Thunder before, both said that Thunder's team competition was harder to deal with.
Of course, there was no lack of people who said that it was because last season, Thunder didn't have Xiao Shiqin, so their team skill dropped. In comparison, this season, with Xiao Shiqin's return, Thunder's team battle skill returned to normal. This was for last season without Xiao Shiqin. Compared to the previous Thunder, it was hard to say.
In the pro scene, there were always endless debates. Happy was Happy. After the big win, there were also people who looked at the problem in light of the first round's clean sweep.
One round's clean sweep, one round's big win, this kind of fluctuating result was the best evidence of Thunder's unstable condition!
Regarding such a debate, the third round of the competition was needed to provide an answer.
A week passed, and the third round of the league arrived. With the previous two rounds as a foundation, the third round was much more lively. Happy was Happy. What would happen this round? Could Wind Howl, who seemed to have a better team battle team, continue to maintain their team battle winning streak? The attention of these two teams had continued because of the first two rounds, but in the third round, these two teams weren't destined to be the main characters. Because in this round, there was finally an indisputable confrontation at the peak. Happy and Thunder's first two rounds were a hot topic, but this round couldn't steal the attention away from this match.
In the third round of Glory Pro Alliance Season 10, Team Samsara faced off against Team Tyranny in their home game.
Last season's champion team and runner-up team had clashed like Mars crashing into Earth. This had already happened in the third round of the league. What match could compete with this? None, none at all!
Even among the pro players themselves, quite a few of them were paying attention to this match. They were the ones who loved Glory the most, so of course they liked to see exciting matches.
Before the third round, in Micrograss's prep room, Liu Xiaobie was fiddling with his phone, which was noticed by captain Wang Jiexi.
Liu Xiaobie's expression immediately became unnatural. He cautiously and stealthily tried to put his phone away without drawing attention.
"What are you doing?" In the end, Wang Jiexi still asked.
The prep room suddenly quieted down. Quite a few people looked over. Some people knew what Liu Xiaobie wanted to do. This guy just wanted to watch the match between Samsara and Tyranny. No one wouldn't be curious about that match.
But as for the captain, even if he was curious, he would definitely keep his emotions in check. He wouldn't be distracted while he was in the middle of a match. Of course, he also didn't want to see Micrograss's players get distracted.
"Turn off your phone." Wang Jiexi didn't ask too much, only saying this in a very normal tone.
Liu Xiaobie dejectedly took out his phone and turned it off.
Wang Jiexi's gaze swept over everyone. The players he saw couldn't help but stand up. "This round, our opponent is Bright Green. Even though they aren't a strong team, we can't let our guard down."
"Yes, sir." Everyone replied.
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Jiexi ordered. Micrograss's players walked out of the prep room. Liu Xiaobie rubbed the phone in his pocket. In the end, he let it go.
Focus on the match!
He said this to himself. With his head held high and his chest puffed out, he followed the footsteps of his teammates.
Every match that was going on at the same time seemed to be affected by this clash of the titans. Even in the pre-match press conference, there were reporters who digressed from the topic and asked for their opinions on this match.
Happy in the pre-match press conference, there were reporters who wanted Ye Xiu to make a prediction. Tyranny's veterans were all very familiar to Ye Xiu. And Samsara? One Leaf Of Autumn's account. Did the connection between them and Ye Xiu even need to be explained?
"Tell me! Can you just predict the score? "The reporters pestered Ye Xiu relentlessly.
"10 to 0," Ye Xiu said.
"Ah!" All the reporters were shocked. With such a large difference in score, which team was it that Ye Xiu thought so highly of?
"Which team is 10, which team is 0?" someone hurriedly asked. He felt that there was definitely something to talk about.
"Whatever," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"Whatever … whatever?" Everyone was stunned. What was this situation?
"This … how can this be whatever?" the reporter who had pestered him at the start said.
"You said it yourself. Just predicting the score is fine," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"I …" The reporter was suddenly at a loss for words. He stared blankly as Happy's players left the press conference.
Happy's opponent this round was Team Radiant. After two rounds, he had finally met an opponent that wasn't too strong. In the end, many people started to express their opinions. They felt that true gold needed to be tempered with fire. This match didn't prove anything. They still needed a strong team to test Happy's strength.
"What kind of person is this!" Friday's edition of Esports Home had many such predictive comments. And this one made Chen Guo very unhappy. She smashed the newspaper while firmly memorizing this commentator's name: Cheng Jianbo.
"This is nothing!" Ye Xiu saw Chen Guo's dissatisfaction and laughed, "This at least shows that in some people's hearts, we are already a stronger team than Team Radiant. We shouldn't be compared to them."
"Childish!" Chen Guo said.
"Yes, quite childish," Ye Xiu agreed, then looked at everyone in the prep room.
"This week's research on Team Radiant, I think everyone should have seen it. Even though Team Radiant's ranking in the Pro League has never been high, they are definitely not an easy team to deal with. Focus on the match and don't think about anything else," Ye Xiu said. In the first round, they were swept. Happy was the subject of many discussions. In the second round, they won. Happy was the subject of many discussions again. When these discussions accumulated, it was actually a burden for the players. Sometimes, due to the influence of these discussions, their mentality would be affected. Especially for rookies, they didn't have enough experience dealing with this.
"Understood!" But now, everyone was in high spirits as they replied to Ye Xiu.
In the third round of the Pro League, Team Happy challenged Team Radiant in an away game. After an hour and twenty-three minutes of intense battle, the score on the electronic scoreboard hanging high above Radiant's home stadium was fixed at 3: 7.
"Sorry..." On the eve of the press conference, in the prep room, Tang Rou apologized to her teammates.
