The reporters had lost count of how many uproars there had been.
1v3 in five rounds!
It sounded like they were purposely making things difficult for Happy, but Tang Rou looked very satisfied. Could it be that there was some sort of sure-win trick?
The reporters hurriedly searched for information on Happy's next five matches. After checking, they were dumbfounded once again.
Happy's next match wasn't an exaggeration at all to call it a journey of death.
In the fourth round, Happy would play in their home game and welcome the challengers, Team Tyranny.
In the sixth round, Blue Rain would play in their home game.
In the eighth round, Micrograss would play in their home game.
The top three teams in the Alliance would all be playing in the next five rounds. Even if Happy played in their home game in these three rounds, winning a 1v3 against these three teams was still a pipe dream.
Ye Xiu, you really do have a grudge against Tang Rou! Right, right?
Quite a few reporters raised their heads to observe Ye Xiu's expression. The rest began to pay attention to the other two teams.
In the fifth round, Happy would play in their away game against Team Parade, a mid-tier team similar to Radiant.
In the seventh round, their away game was against Team Heavenly Swords.
Team Heavenly Swords?!
Some of the more astute people immediately began to make a lot of connections.
From the feedback in the Heavenly Domain, as well as the information that Ye Xiu had casually revealed at a press conference, it could be seen that Team Heavenly Swords and Happy had some sort of personal relationship.
If they were determined to win a 1v3 in these five rounds, would Team Heavenly Swords be Happy's trump card?
Helping Team Heavenly Swords go easy?
In the history of the Glory Alliance, there had never been a case of a fixed match. At most, it was a slightly negative attitude towards a match because the goal was hopeless. And this sort of thing usually only happened at the end of the season, when the overall situation was already decided. No team would lose their fighting spirit at the start of the season.
Even though there was no record, this didn't stop people from making sinister guesses. Such an illogical oath made almost all the reporters feel that it was impossible that there was nothing fishy about it. Even though Chang Xian did not suspect that Happy was lying, he also felt that there must be a reason behind it.
Before the reporters could find out what was going on, the press conference ended. In the end, all the questions revolved around whether Tang Rou could take on all three of them at once. No one cared about anything else related to this match. As a result, when the victors, Radiant Squad, sat on the stage, the reporters below were still whispering about Happy. After it was announced that they could start asking questions, someone stood up and asked the usual, "Congratulations to Radiant for their victory. What do you think of this match?" and then there were no more questions.
The reporters were absent-minded, but the Radiant players who had happily participated in the press conference were dumbfounded.
Before the match, Happy's cheers were very loud. People clearly didn't treat them as a new team that had just entered the Alliance, but as a team whose strength was above Radiant's.
Radiant didn't feel any resentment towards this. With three All-Stars, Happy was indeed much better than Radiant in terms of player composition. But so what? It wasn't like Radiant hadn't seen teams with three All Stars or even more. It wasn't like they hadn't fought against them before. When had they ever knelt down in front of such a strong opponent?
Compared to those powerhouses, Happy was still a far cry from them, no?
Radiant bravely welcomed Happy's challenge. Radiant didn't plan on taking advantage of the three All Stars, but Happy's other players, the rookies, became Radiant's final breakthrough.
They chose Tang Rou, who was already a very important player in Happy's lineup. She was able to become the gatekeeper of the group arena, which showed how much the team trusted and relied on her.
Radiant had made ample preparations to deal with Tang Rou. From the group arena to the team competition, in this round, Tang Rou was completely played in the palm of Radiant's hand, giving away the 7 points that Happy might have been able to obtain.
Radiant wasn't very strong compared to many other teams, but it wasn't to the point where they could be bullied. This time, using their home game advantage and ample preparation, they won a match that many people didn't think highly of. They were very excited, very excited. They were in high spirits, ready to have a good talk at the press conference, but in the end, they were ignored like this?
Why was it like this?
The three Radiant players who attended the press conference didn't understand. They weren't very famous, and their team wasn't very strong, but it shouldn't be so cold, right?
At the same time, the other press conference, which had been held a little later, was in full swing.
The most anticipated match of this round, Samsara's away game against Tyranny, had just ended.
Countless players who had been moved by the tenacity of Tyranny's veterans wished Tyranny well. They hoped that they would be able to achieve good results this season. They hoped that they would be able to fulfill their dreams in the final stages of their careers. They hoped that they would be able to strike back at Samsara, who had shattered their dreams last season.
The result was regrettable.
In their away game against Tyranny, Samsara won the match with an 8 to 2 advantage. They had only lost 2 points in the individual competition, but they showed their might in the group arena and team competition, coming from behind to take down Tyranny.
And this was an away game. Samsara's strength this season was truly frightening. After three rounds, they had won the first two rounds. In the third round, they had faced a strong team like Tyranny in their away game, and they had won with an 8 to 2 advantage. A total of 28 points from the three rounds allowed Samsara to continue to lead in the rankings.
As for Tyranny, after three rounds, they had 19 points, falling to 8th place on the rankings, the last place in the playoff zone.
With such a start, they no longer had the momentum of last season's best record in the regular season. Everyone's fear of Tyranny seemed to be coming true. Another season had passed. How much had Tyranny's veteran players fallen? After last season's failure at the last hurdle, had the veteran players really not lost any of their spirit? Looking at their current disadvantage against Samsara in their home game, these things that they didn't want to see were happening …
Was Tyranny really no longer as strong as they were in the past? After the home game against Samsara ended, many fans in the stands were already shedding tears.
In the post-match press conference, the atmosphere was very heavy. Tyranny's veteran players were the majority. Many of the reporters in the audience had interacted with them for many years. They didn't have any friendship with them, but after appearing in front of them week after week, hanging around and asking questions, they had slowly developed some friendships.
Tyranny's decline symbolized the end of an era that they had followed. Every reporter felt the same sorrow. At this time, facing Tyranny, those who could still resolutely ask such sensitive questions were mostly the new generation of reporters.
"In the new season, facing Samsara's strong lead, after three rounds, Tyranny has fallen behind by 9 points. In a direct confrontation, Samsara took 8 points. What will Tyranny do now? Will they make any changes? "a reporter asked.
Make some changes.
What changes?
A new generation replacing the old. Was that era completely a thing of the past?
"Tyranny will indeed make some changes." On the stage, vice-captain Zhang Xinjie answered the reporter's question.
"Oh? Can you reveal a bit? "a reporter asked.
"They'll probably add some rotations to make the team operate more efficiently," Zhang Xinjie said.
Rotations! Did this mean that Tyranny was about to switch from the old to the new? Was the representative of an era really going to give up this stage?
The reporters looked at the stage. Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan were still calm when Zhang Xinjie brought up this topic.
"Then, what is Tyranny's goal for this season?" someone asked. If it was a transition period, the team clearly wouldn't have high goals.
"Tyranny's goal will always be the championship," Han Wenqing replied.
Was it because the old general was unconvinced? The reporters sighed.
"In the next round, Tyranny will be facing Happy. Do you have anything to say?" someone suddenly asked. Happy, Ye Xiu. This was another person from the same era as Tyranny's old generals. Even though Happy still had the old general Wei Chen, his professional career was short. Now that he had returned, Happy could tell that he would be a substitute, not a main player.
"I hope to give you an exciting match," a very standard reply.
"Happy's Battle Mage player, Tang Rou, has announced that she will win 1v3 in five rounds, or else she will leave the pro scene. What do you all think about this? As the opponent she will be facing in the next round, what do you think? " Tyranny's match ended late, so the press conference was naturally late. Happy's interview had already been sent over, and this sort of interview method was what the reporters were good at.
"Very good determination. If you want to succeed against Tyranny, then bring it on!" Han Wenqing said.
"Will Tyranny make any plans to counter this?" a reporter asked.
"No," Zhang Xinjie replied simply. The reporters thought so too. Tyranny's strategist was Zhang Xinjie. This Cleric was known for being strict and strict. How could he change the team's rhythm because of a bet?
"I wish Tyranny good luck in the next round," the reporter said, ending his question. The other reporters followed up and asked a few more questions about Tyranny's rotation.
After Tyranny's match against Samsara ended, the third round ended.
In this round, apart from Happy's match against Radiant and Tyranny's match against Samsara, there were two other matches with surprising results.
Team Parade, in their away game, defeated Team Royal Style, who seemed to be stronger than them, 7-3.
Team Hundred Blossoms, in their home game against Team 301, once again lost 3-7.
Apart from this, the strong teams won all of their matches, all by 7-3 or higher. After three rounds, the situation in the new season was much clearer than it had been in the first two rounds.
