Happy in the away game, Ye Xiu took the first win, leading 1 to 0. However, for those who cared about Happy, this kind of good start wasn't enough to make them excited. Happy had been like this for a while now. They started well, then lost bit by bit, especially in the team competition. So far, only Hundred Blossoms had achieved such a high score.
What would happen today?
Happy hadn't formed yet. Supporters were still rare in away games. However, City B was where Happy had fought in the Challenger League, where he had defeated Excellent Era. Seven Fields and his guild brothers were all residents of the city. In the last Challenger League, they had formed a small group to cheer for them. Happy's guild was flourishing. Seven Fields and the others were part of the guild's main roster. When the guild team came to compete, how could they not organize a group of guild players to cheer for them?
The seating arrangements in the Pro League weren't as casual as in the Challenger League. The away team's fans would be gathered together to prevent them from mixing in with the home team's fans. Seven Fields and the other Happy fans were in the away team seats. There were quite a few of them. After Happy took the first win, they were cheering loudly. In the stadium, where the home team's fans didn't do much, it was quite eye-catching.
The players for the second round of the individual competition came onstage in such an atmosphere.
Happy, Qiao Yifan, character Ghostblade One Inch Ash.
Heavenly Swords, Zou Yunhai, character Elementalist Ocean Ahead.
Heavenly Swords' characters were originally from the game. Now that they had entered the pro scene, their equipment was completely new. Under the efforts of Lou Guanning and the others, they had managed to find some good equipment. From this point of view, Heavenly Swords' equipment was actually quite good. It was because of their concentration! The good equipment was piled onto their five characters. The other characters wouldn't even care if they were naked. With such an unconventional concentration of resources, their characters were naturally much stronger. However, the difference between them and the other non-main roster characters was too great.
Happy and Heavenly Swords often played together in the game, so they were familiar with each other. After Qiao Yifan and Zou Yunhai entered the match, they chatted for a bit in the chat. After a few minutes, Qiao Yifan won. His performance didn't change his steady style. Although he didn't have an overwhelming advantage in the entire match, he had been steadily controlling the situation. When Zou Yunhai came down, his face was a little ugly. Clearly, he was a little unhappy about being stifled to death in this duel.
Friendship first, competition second?
Most of the time, these words were just words. As long as they were on the stage, who wouldn't want to win? It was common for players to feel emotional when things didn't go well in a match. Sometimes, when his teammates were in PK training, they would quarrel from time to time, not to mention this kind of official competition where victory or defeat was more important.
Of course, Zou Yunhai was just upset. It was not to the point where he wanted to quarrel with Happy. However, after losing two matches in a row, Heavenly Swords' mood was no longer as relaxed as it had been at the beginning of the match. It was too sweet to think that the game would end peacefully just because the two teams had a good relationship.
On Happy's side, the third player to go up was Su Mucheng.
On Heavenly Swords' side, Lou Guanning had originally called over the player who was about to go on stage to say a few words, but when he saw that it was an All Star, he didn't say anything. He just patted the player's shoulder and sent him on stage.
Lou Guanning admitted that there was still a gap between him and an All Star. He felt that winning would depend on the player's luck and performance. In any case, he wouldn't be able to point out any crucial match points.
Heavenly Swords' player was called Li Weiyi. In Heavenly Swords, he had no choice but to make up the numbers. The individual competition required a total of six players. Of Lou Guanning's group of five, Zhong Yeli couldn't go on stage because he was a Cleric. As for the remaining four, they needed at least two more.
They didn't plan on recruiting any Famous Generals for these spots. They definitely wouldn't give up their spots. If they had a Famous General to make up the numbers, who would be willing to go?
In the end, Lou Guanning didn't know where he found this player. He had some skill, but he had reservations about how strong he was. In the end, Su Mucheng easily won the third round. Happy won the individual competition 3-0. Facing Li Weiyi, Lou Guanning couldn't say anything. Asking someone to make up the numbers to beat an All Star was a bit too much.
Team Heavenly Swords' management was extremely abnormal. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to change it, but they didn't want to. Their original intention was to give themselves a chance to play in the pro scene and a platform. They had only played for a year. They hadn't had enough yet, so they didn't want to give this chance to other pro players.
After the individual competition, there was a simple break. The two teams could also prepare for the group arena. After the three players in the individual competition, it was more or less clear who would play in the group arena.
However, the order of the players had to be decided before the match started. It couldn't be changed at this time. The Alliance had considered allowing for adjustments during the match, but in the end, they still hoped that the players would focus on the match and not waste too much time outside of the match.
Because of their good relationship, the two teams couldn't avoid talking to each other during the break. In principle, the Alliance didn't prohibit the players from explaining, but whenever there was contact, the referees would be very strict in order to prevent the players from communicating with each other in violation of the rules of the game. Happy's match originally had a bet. Now that he was playing against a friend, rumors were flying everywhere. As for the interaction between the two teams, the staff of the Alliance were watching closely.
However, at this moment, the one who took the initiative to talk wasn't Happy with a bet, but rather Heavenly Swords, who had just lost the individual competition. Lou Guanning had a sullen expression on his face. He walked over to Happy and then said to Ye Xiu: "God, you're too ruthless. You're accumulating strength and then taking it out on us!"
"Ha ha." Ye Xiu laughed, "I can't deny that we have the most comprehensive understanding of you guys."
Lou Guanning was speechless. He was most afraid of God Ye Xiu's calmness. That kind of righteousness made it impossible to blame him. He was in the right!
"But then again, you guys can't keep doing this for a long time!" Ye Xiu said, "Even if your skills keep improving, the team is always just you guys. If you lack variety, others will quickly see through you."
"I think … it's okay …" Lou Guanning said.
"That's because no team thinks you guys are a threat, right?" Ye Xiu said.
"God …" Lou Guanning cried. Couldn't he be more honest? Speaking of which, Lou Guanning was quite satisfied with Heavenly Swords' performance so far this season. No matter who their opponents were, they were always able to get a few points. In the fourth round, they even won against Royal Style 7 to 3.
That was Royal Style! Even though they weren't a regular in the playoffs anymore, they were still an All Star team with a lot of experience. Winning against them was a huge boost to Heavenly Swords' confidence. Everyone felt that after a year of experience in the Alliance, they had become more mature and stronger. But when it came to God Ye Xiu, were they still "not worthy of being studied by other teams"?
This couldn't be said to be underestimating their opponents. There were as many as 19 teams in the Alliance. Everyone's time was limited, so of course they had to weigh the pros and cons. If they tried to catch all of them, it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to catch any of them. And Heavenly Swords was without a doubt one of the weaker teams. Lou Guanning couldn't deny this, so God Ye Xiu's words made him cry again.
"You're going to play in the group arena too, right? Hurry up and get ready. I'll let you see how bad it is to be completely seen through by your opponent, "Ye Xiu said.
How bad was it to be completely seen through by your opponent?
When the match finally ended, Lou Guanning and the others knew.
Against Hundred Blossoms, they were able to get 2 points. Against Blue Rain, they were able to get 1 point. Against Royal Style, they won with 7 points. Against Parade, who had defeated Happy, they were able to get 6 points. This season, Heavenly Swords had a better grasp of their home field advantage. They had gotten a lot of points twice, both on their home field.
But this time, on their home field, against Happy, Heavenly Swords finally got 0 points.
10 to 0!
Team Heavenly Swords was completely defeated, swept clean. Happy was a team that hadn't won a single match in a row.
Happy didn't give them any face. Of course, Heavenly Swords' attitude was also very proper. In the group arena, after Tang Rou defeated one player, she lost to Heavenly Swords' second player, Wen Kebei, who was also a Battle Mage.
1v3? After four rounds, Tang Rou couldn't even achieve a 1v2 like she had in Hundred Blossoms.
Heavenly Swords had already lost their chance. Now, there was only Micrograss left. Against Micrograss, a 1v3?
Ruan Cheng smiled.
In the post-match press conference, he snatched a good seat. He believed that even though Happy had won this match, they probably weren't in a good mood. In the long run, Tang Rou leaving the team because she couldn't complete a 1v3 was a huge loss to them. No matter if it was in terms of skill or the attention she received. This pretty girl really did have some supporters now. Because of Ruan Cheng's various criticisms of her, he had received quite a bit of flak.
"Contestant Tang Rou didn't come? What a pity. She must be under a lot of pressure right now, right? " Seeing that Tang Rou wasn't among the people Happy attending the press conference, Ruan Cheng didn't even congratulate them on their victory. He directly changed the topic to the bet he had instigated.
"Everyone in the team has always been confident in Tang Rou," Ye Xiu said calmly.
"There's still one more round. No one can speak too early. Let's wait and see!" Ruan Cheng couldn't speak too early, but that confident look of his was really annoying. It would be better to show the gloating in his heart, which was more natural and real!
"Little Tang is just too innocent! I say, before, she only said what would happen if she didn't do it. But what if she did do it? Shouldn't you say something? "Team Happy, Fang Rui said to Ruan Cheng.
"I'll give her my heartfelt blessings, really." Ruan Cheng put on a sincere expression. He wouldn't be provoked like this!
"Bring me a basin!" Fang Rui yelled, "I'm going to throw up!"
