A historical record! Most of the people who were paying attention to this point were media professionals and the audience. Most of them felt that it was another 10-0, as long as they won the team competition.
The cheers for a 1v3 in the group arena had been completely replaced by a 10-0. Wind Howl's loyal fans, who had specially come with the team, were clearly much more depressed now. Liu Hao being beaten by Fang Rui with such an advantage was a huge blow to them. They had originally hoped that Liu Hao would be able to perform a shocking 1v3 and help them vent their anger! But in the end, they hadn't been able to see their vice-captain show such tenacious fighting spirit in the match. Under Fang Rui's dirty tricks, they had completely lost their way.
Wind Howl's fans were silent, extremely silent.
Seeing the stadium full of Happy fans cheering in excitement, they felt very upset. This kind of joy should have belonged to them! Because Fang Rui … wasn't he originally a member of Team Wind Howl? The techniques and tactics he used, even if they had been switched to the Qi Master, were all familiar to Wind Howl's loyal fans.
This was the figure that had brought them joy in the past, and now?
The Wind Howl flag that the fans had made themselves, the flag that would flutter in the air no matter if it was a home or away match, was now somewhat dejectedly drooping to the side. Wind Howl's standard-bearer didn't seem very spirited at this moment. The others didn't disturb him, though, because they all knew that Fang Rui had always been this standard-bearer's favorite player in Wind Howl. Fang Rui's departure was already painful for him, and now, after seeing Fang Rui set a new record and complete a 1v3 against Wind Howl, his feelings couldn't be described with words.
How would the following team competition turn out?
Wind Howl's loyal fans actually began to doubt their own team at this moment.
Their captain, their core, Tang Hao; the new generation player, Zhao Yuzhe; Lin Feng, whom they hoped would inherit Doubtful Demon; Liu Hao, whom they felt was especially worth it and had gotten a huge bargain for the team … In the individual competition, in the group arena, they had all been defeated by their opponents by an extremely large margin. After that, what would the team they had formed use to defeat Happy?
Wind Howl's team strength wasn't something that people could talk about enthusiastically! Wind Howl's fans knew this better than anyone else. And Happy's team? So far in the ninth round, they hadn't lost a single match. Was this an opponent that Wind Howl could take down?
The loyal fans began to doubt whether their team could win this match, whether their team's slogan of "Wind Howl" was reliable. Wind Howl's results this season didn't seem as stable as last season! Didn't they say that after letting go of God Fang Rui, the team would establish a brand new model that was more suitable for them? Wind Howl's fans more or less understood what this brand new model was. It was to completely abandon the dirtiness of the team. The team would change from the dirtiness of the past to a team that focused more on direct attacks.
This might seem more like the style of a king. Of all the championship teams in Glory's ten years of history, apart from Blue Rain, who took the unconventional path, the other eight championship teams all had this kind of grand and upright aura. Wind Howl had been working hard to create this kind of grand aura this season, but was this really suitable for Wind Howl?
Although no one had ever considered the former Criminal Duo to be the strongest in the Alliance, with them there, the fans would always feel at ease. No matter how difficult the team's circumstances were, they would always be filled with confidence in the team. But now? The team's results had only slipped a little from last season. Right now, they were still in the top eight of the playoffs, but why did everyone feel so uneasy? The current Wind Howl made them feel more and more like they had lost something. This kind of tired and unloved feeling really wasn't likable at all!
Wind Howl's most loyal fans grumbled. At the same time, Wind Howl's players off the stage were also feeling down.
The core of the individual competition, Tang Hao, had gone up and been crushed by Ye Xiu. After that, their team had lost two rounds in a row.
In the group arena, three strong players had gone up one after another, but in the end, Fang Rui, who had once been a member of their team, had used only 32% of his health to take them down.
How big of a mockery was this? The player that they let go casually took care of the three players that they had painstakingly nurtured. At this moment, the only thing that people could think of was classic idioms like 'eyes fail to see' and 'buying the casket and returning the pearl'...
Wind Howl's players felt this kind of awkwardness the most. What should they do? Defeating the opponent was obviously the best way to counterattack. However, at this moment, Wind Howl's players were all swaying from side to side, unable to extricate themselves from their previous loss. Only those second-string players who hadn't gone onstage were left on the sidelines, fighting for a place to stay.
"What's going on? Have they all lost their minds?" Finally, someone in the team spoke up.
Ruan Yongbin.
Wind Howl's Cleric.
Because healers were irreplaceable in any battle team, regardless of whether they held a position in a battle team or not, they would always have a relatively high status. Furthermore, the turnover of healers was usually relatively low, so they would often have a lot of experience in a battle team.
Ruan Yongbin was a player who had been in Wind Howl for nearly six years. Back then, he had joined the team at the same time as Fang Rui. With Fang Rui's departure, Ruan Yongbin had become one of the most senior members of Wind Howl. Originally, he had only been an obedient player who didn't want to talk too much. However, when he saw the team's morale plummet and the main players all looking like grasshoppers in the frost, he couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke up.
Healers, as players who only needed to fight in the team competition, were often less affected by the individual competition results. They could always maintain a relatively rational attitude and watch as their teammates' morale rose and fell in the individual competition. As a result, in the most important moment of the team competition, a mentally stable healer could often be a stabilizing force.
Unfortunately, Ruan Yongbin didn't talk much in Wind Howl. He had never properly utilized the special existence that his class gave him. At this time, he suddenly stood out to speak. Everyone looked at him, their eyes were full of confusion. There was no feeling of enlightenment at all.
"We still haven't played the team competition! Half of the points are waiting for us to fight for. Everyone, focus! "Ruan Yongbin tried his best to force himself to say these words that he wasn't good at. Anyone could say these words. In reality, this reasoning was very simple. Right now, what was needed was the strength of a club, a force that could cut off the wavering of the players' hearts in the individual competition. However, Ruan Yongbin's club didn't have any power. As he spoke, everyone looked at him, but … what about morale? Morale still hadn't been ignited. Only Liu Hao clapped his hands and squeezed out a smile: "Yongbin is right! The match isn't over yet. We still have five points. Why does everyone look like they've already lost? "
Liu Hao was the vice-captain of the team. This season, his popularity within the fan circle was not bad. His relationship with the team was also not bad. At this time, his words were clearly more effective than Ruan Yongbin's. Ruan Yongbin let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Liu Hao with gratitude. He was glad that this vice-captain could still maintain his clarity of mind and rationally view the situation of the match.
Liu Hao had a rational smile on his face, but in reality, he was extremely annoyed. After leaving the stage, seeing the expressions of his teammates and the silence of Wind Howl's loyal fans, he knew that his performance had disgusted quite a few people. However, Liu Hao's most outstanding aspect was that he could use an almost cruel disguise to cover up his true feelings and then display the most appropriate attitude for the current situation.
As a result, he and the other players who had gone on stage were gloomily silent. Thus, when Ruan Yongbin came out and said a few words and no one else reacted, he could force himself to wake up as if he had been enlightened. Thus, like a vice-captain, he began to take over Ruan Yongbin's club and beat the others.
"Look, our fans, the fans who came from so far away to support us, they're all sad, all depressed! What did we do to disappoint them like this? Everyone, hurry up and get your spirits up. Let our Wind Howl's flag once again flutter in the air above this stadium! We lost quite a bit first, but it's only five points in total. After this, we just need a bit more time to get those five points back. When that time comes, the score on the scoreboard will only be five to five. Have we lost? Not at all! Getting five points in an away game should be considered a victory, right? Right now, we still have a chance to win! "Liu Hao raised a finger, emphasizing to everyone that they only needed to win one match.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wind Howl's captain, Tang Hao, suddenly spoke up, rudely interrupting Liu Hao.
"Don't talk about five points. Even if it's just one point, if we can fight for it, we can't give up!" Tang Hao said through gritted teeth.
"Captain Tang is right. Even if it's just one point, we can't back down." Liu Hao didn't show any displeasure at being interrupted by Tang Hao. Instead, he immediately agreed with Tang Hao. Tang Hao instantly became the highest point of the entire team's morale.
"Go up and beat them!" Tang Hao yelled. "Are you all willing to be slapped in the face by some people like this?"
The direction of these words was quite obvious, and pushing a former hero of Wind Howl into the position of an enemy was quite unsightly. Even Ruan Yongbin, an old member of the team, had an unnatural expression on his face when he heard these words. Lin Jingyan and Fang Rui had left the team in harmony, but how could the people in the team not know what was going on inside? This matter had nothing to do with right or wrong. It was just a choice that some teams had to make in order to develop. It was just that in this choice, they had been abandoned. They should have drawn sympathy from others, and Wind Howl shouldn't have this sort of negative emotion directed at them.
Fang Rui had won the group arena, and Wind Howl had lost miserably, but this was a competition. There was only victory and defeat, nothing else. Was Fang Rui supposed to go easy on them?
Tang Hao's undisguised declaration made Ruan Yongbin quite unhappy. But what about the other players in the team? Zhao Yuzhe? Lin Feng? These people had just been slapped by Fang Rui, but they were all ignited by Tang Hao's outrageous attitude. (To be continued.
