Thunder's tyrannical performance in the team competition ensured their position on the leaderboard. Currently, they were tied with Blue Rain with 90 points. Because the two teams had fought to a draw, in the end, Blue Rain was second and Thunder was third.
As for Samsara, they were currently in the lead with 113 points. They were so strong that no one had any desire to catch up.
After the thirteen rounds of competition ended, they entered December. Every year, the All-Star voting would begin at the start of the new season and end in December.
The initial voting was mostly based on the performance of the previous season, especially the strong players in the playoffs, who would receive a lot of attention. After that, once they entered the rhythm of the new season, sometimes a stunning performance in one or two matches would cause a lot of votes to explode.
Tang Rou was the best example.
A rookie who had just entered the Alliance, after a brilliant 1v2 in the second round, was quickly pushed into the All-Star lineup. Of course, her beautiful image also gained a lot of votes.
However, after the 1v3 incident and her decisively breaking her promise, Tang Rou's popularity suddenly froze. How much support could a player that even her own fans didn't like? Tang Rou's name was instantly removed from the All-Star voting list, which grew every day.
And right now, the one at the top was still Zhou Zekai. They had won last year's playoffs, and this season, Samsara was leading so strongly. Zhou Zekai's performance was indispensable, and there was no doubt that he was leading the poll.
Compared to last year, the biggest change was the return of a few names. Among them were the three All-Stars who had left the Excellent Era. These three all had loyal fans and were pushed into the vote list as soon as they appeared. Apart from the unconditional support of these loyal fans, there was also the impact of their performance this season.
Xiao Shiqin became the most dazzling of these three. Everyone knew how much credit Xiao Shiqin had contributed to Team Thunder's astonishing performance so far. Even though he wasn't a core player like Zhou Zekai or Sun Xiang, his outstanding performance made Xiao Shiqin's tactical halo even more attractive, gathering a large number of fans. Currently, Xiao Shiqin was ranked third in the All-Star voting list. He was much stronger than when he had been chosen.
Su Mucheng and Sun Xiang were both ranked in the top ten. With the support of their loyal fans and their performance, they didn't have any big ups and downs.
However, if one were to say that the more they charged, the more ferocious they became, the other name would have to be mentioned. No, strictly speaking, the name had not returned. What had returned was the person.
As for Ye Xiu, not to mention his popularity in the past, just the fact that he still had a record of 12 consecutive wins was enough to get everyone's attention and push him onto the rankings. As his winning streak accumulated round after round, Ye Xiu's votes increased by an increasing amount. And with Happy's recent strong results, Ye Xiu was currently in sixth place, and he was continuing to charge forward magnificently. Just looking at the recent rise of unspecialized players in Glory, it could be seen how influential he was. It forced the game to add a reminder to the game, reminding players who hadn't changed classes at Level 20 how difficult it would be to survive. They also didn't mention names, reminding everyone not to imitate a certain person, because that person was special. He was a special talent, and at the same time, he had a special self-made weapon.
Even so, the enthusiasm of the players couldn't be stopped. Many players fiddled with the equipment editor, trying to make a Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. This caused the price of Level 5 equipment materials to rise.
Some people returned to the rankings, but of course, there were also people who were pushed down.
Happy was one of these people. Fang Rui, who had changed classes, made the Thief players who originally supported him feel at a loss. Although the players who changed classes to Qi Master saw the All-Star Qi Master character Hai Wuliang in his hands, his performance as a Qi Master … To be honest, his performance as a Qi Master wasn't very convincing. As for the Qi Master playstyle that he had been using recently, even fewer players who didn't play Qi Masters found it disgusting, so there was no way to imitate it.
Hundred Blossoms' Zou Yuan had also fallen off the rankings. For two years in a row, he had only been sent to the All Stars because of anger. Now that he had gradually shown his true strength, he had been squeezed off the rankings because of the fierce competition. It had to be said that this was something that made people feel helpless.
At the same time, Team Royal Style's Tian Sen was pushed out of the rankings.
Peaceful Hermit, the former top God-level character, had been on the All-Star rankings no matter who the player was. Finally, because of the team's poor results, he disappeared from the top 20 for the first time.
Regarding this, Peaceful Hermit's current main player, Tian Sen, was also very helpless. Year after year of hard work, but the team never improved. Now, they were steadily hovering around the middle of the pack. More and more competitors finally pushed them down from their pedestal.
Tian Sen and Peaceful Hermit's fall from the rankings caused some sighs.
Also being pushed out of the rankings was a veteran, Tyranny's Lin Jingyan. He had been an All-Star for many years, but this time, he was finally pushed out of the rankings.
Tyranny's failure to win the championship last season had originally garnered a lot of sympathy points. When the voting channel opened this season, the votes for Tyranny's players surged rapidly. However, after that wave passed, when the new season's performance began to be determined, the rotation began. The veteran players who no longer appeared regularly had their votes increase slowly. Tyranny's captain, Han Wenqing, was still in a stable position. Lin Jingyan had already fallen out of the rankings. There was also Zhang Jiale, who was now at 23rd place. He was also in a precarious position. After December, there was a high chance that someone would replace him. Outside of the rankings, a bunch of names were eyeing each other covetously. The difference in votes wasn't large at all. An explosive performance could bring about a surge that could surpass them.
Overall, the changes in the rankings couldn't be considered large.
The return of Xiao Shiqin, Su Mucheng, Sun Xiang, and Ye Xiu wasn't a surprise. Compared to last year's rookies like Lu Hanwen and Gao Yingjie, this season's rankings didn't have such a surge of new blood. Tang Rou originally had this ability. Based on her explosive performance in the second round and her performance so far, she was actually very strong as a rookie. Unfortunately, her image was destroyed after the 1v3 incident, so she naturally wasn't favored in this kind of voting.
Right now, the Alliance was more conflicted. The All-Star voting was lively. On-stage performance could increase the number of votes, but in the end, it wasn't the only deciding factor. However, the various awards the Alliance held every year were completely based on a player's actual performance in the season. The numbers were the main deciding factor.
From a tactical point of view, Tang Rou was indisputable among the rookies this season. However, the Alliance felt a lot of pressure when they thought about how a player with such an unsightly image would be named the Best Rookie. There was still more than half of the season left before these awards were announced, but there were already people who were worried about this matter. It could be seen that Tang Rou's performance was still quite outstanding among the rookies.
December was the last month of the All-Star voting. From the past rankings, the rankings in December couldn't be used as a reference. This was because more and more players would deliberately save their votes for December, when the final channel was about to be closed. It was considered as a reference to thoroughly look at a player's performance before voting.
In December, who would make it onto the leaderboard? This was one of the highlights of the Alliance in December. In the past, there was another highlight in December, and that was the winter transfer. At that time, because there weren't that many teams in the Alliance, the matches that started in September were halfway through December. Thus, the mid-season transfer window was set to December. Now that the Alliance was entering January, the schedule was usually halfway through. After many seasons of discussion, in Season 10, the Alliance finally decided to move the winter transfer window to January.
In comparison, the opening of a new server in Glory didn't affect the pro teams at all. The only ones who were busy were the Clubs' in-game guild departments. Before December, they had to organize their forces and enter the new server to compete for resources and advertise their Clubs.
Happy now had an official in-game guild department. After half a year of development, the organization of personnel had already stabilized. And for a newly established guild like Happy, the new server was of the utmost importance. After all, in the new server, where the starting point was zero, the chances of gaining an advantage were higher. In the old server and in the Heavenly Domain, Happy was still chasing after them.
After Wu Chen seriously organized the work in the new server, he gave Chen Guo a list of people who would be going to the new server. Boss Chen was very generous. She knew that the work in the new server was very important. With a wave of her hand, she gave the new server staff an extra bonus.
The in-game guild department was already quite strong, and Happy's R&D department had also expanded a bit. R&D wasn't easy to find, but which team didn't have a few? When the R&D department was involved in some personnel changes, there would sometimes be people who left.
After Chen Guo didn't find a satisfactory candidate for the R&D department, she began paying attention to this area. Her hard work paid off. In November, Thunderclap made a small adjustment. A R&D member left for personal reasons. Chen Guo acted quickly. Unfortunately, this person's personal reasons were that he wanted to go back to his hometown to work. Unfortunately, City H wasn't his hometown. Chen Guo couldn't satisfy this request. In the end, she could only watch as this skilled R&D member returned to his hometown, City K, and joined Team Hundred Blossoms.
The second time was when Team Royal Style had a change in personnel. Two R&D members left one after the other. Chen Guo first asked around, and after confirming that there wasn't a reason like "wanting to go back to their hometown", she personally went to City B to talk to them.
Chen Guo's actions this time were truly swift. Heavenly Swords, who was also in City B with Royal Style, had already signed one of them after they started talking to Chen Guo. Lou Guanning, who had already been signed, obviously wasn't going to play any tricks. However, the remaining one didn't want to be modest with Happy. He waved his checkbook and directly smashed it down. After Chen Guo found out, she didn't say anything. She was already satisfied to have gotten one. She just hoped that this person wouldn't have any negative feelings when he found out that he missed out on Heavenly Swords.
From the looks of it, this new R&D member, Wang Sen, who had already worked at Happy for ten days, was still very dependable.
