After Round 22, there was only a slight change in the rankings. It was clear that after half a season of accumulation, each team had a certain amount of points. It was very difficult for a single round of points to cause too much of a stir in the rankings.
And in the three rounds after the New Year, the most eye-catching team was without a doubt 301 Degrees.
The opponents 301 Degrees faced in these three rounds weren't weak: Void, Tyranny, and Hundred Blossoms respectively. In the end, 301 Degrees won consecutive victories with a beautiful score of 9 to 1 and two of 8 to 2. Bai Shu didn't disappoint everyone's curiosity about him. He had an eye-catching performance in all three rounds. And 301 Degrees' captain Yang Cong had already completed his transformation after a few rounds. He was no longer the Assassin who directly hacked and killed like a warrior on the battlefield. Cold, cruel, and willing to sacrifice his life. This was the impression that the number one Assassin in the Alliance gave people. And he did it even better than many Assassins, who had originally played this style. With such a clean change in style, people couldn't help but sigh that this player had been underestimated.
Even though Team 301, who had defeated so many strong teams, didn't increase their ranking, they were drawing closer to the top eight in terms of points. The team they had just defeated, Hundred Blossoms, had fallen to eighth place with 131 points. 301 Degrees was only eight points away from them.
The other team worth paying attention to was Wind Howl. Wind Howl, known as the soft-footed shrimp, had been beaten bloody in the first half of the season by the strong teams. They had been beaten 10 to 0 by Happy and 9 to 1 by Micrograss. These were the last two rounds of the first half of the season. During the winter transfer window, they had made a big offer to Tyranny Zhang Xinjie. In the end, they hadn't been able to reach an agreement, and they had even left the impression that they were in a hurry to adjust their team. And after that, every team had been asked for an exorbitant price. Any random player was worth over ten million.
Wind Howl was in a hurry, but they didn't want to be taken advantage of! In their eyes, Zhang Xinjie was a player who could solve their problems. He was a God, and he was popular. They were willing to pay an exorbitant price. But now, for some random player to bid over ten million, it was like robbing a burning house. These guys were just spare tires in Wind Howl's eyes. How could they be willing to make such a huge investment?
They weren't willing to be ripped off, and they couldn't find a suitable player for the exchange of players. In the end, the transfer window closed, and Wind Howl had accomplished nothing. They could only pretend to announce that the team believed in the current composition, that their current strength was enough to win everything, and so on.
Quite a few spectators were looking forward to seeing Team Wind Howl stumble again! But right now, the competition schedule was helping Wind Howl. In the second half of the season, Wind Howl didn't face any strong opponents. Conquering Clouds, Radiant, and Lightly, these soft-footed shrimps could still bare their fangs and brandish their claws in front of these teams. After Hundred Blossoms lost to 301 Degrees, he took advantage of the situation to reach seventh place.
What happened next? In Round 23, Wind Howl's teammate would be Team Bright Green, the team that had been locked in the relegation round with Seaside this season. Wind Howl's tumble didn't look like it would fall anytime soon.
Those who paid attention to Wind Howl were busybodies who only cared about the results. As for those who truly appreciated the technical aspects of a match, there were quite a few strong matchups to choose from in Round 23.
Tyranny versus Happy, Blue Rain versus Samsara, and 301 Degrees, who would be challenging this season's freakish team, Team Thunder, in an away game.
After a bit of hesitation, the broadcast team finally gave up on the match between Blue Rain and Samsara, the second and first place team. This was because the current first place team, Samsara, had a lead of 22 points over the second place team, Blue Rain. Even if Blue Rain swept Samsara 10 to 0, they still wouldn't be able to shake Samsara's lead. Just thinking about this kind of result made people feel a bit bored.
On the other hand, Tyranny and Happy both had 148 points. Their rankings were based on the last match between the two teams. This time, whoever won would rush to the fourth place.
The higher the ranking, the higher the prize money and bonus at the end of the season. This also had a bit of an effect on the playoffs. In the playoffs system that had been implemented since last season, the right to host the deciding match after a tie went to the team with the higher ranking in the regular season. Even though this right to host the match didn't include the right to choose the map, the boost in morale brought by the home fans still had a certain effect.
In the end, the broadcast of Round 23 chose Happy's away game against Tyranny.
February 21st.
City Q.
After the All Star Weekend, Team Happy once again came to this city.
Tyranny's home game had actually sent out a large number of security guards to welcome Team Happy. It was already halfway through the season, and Chen Guo had never seen such a welcoming lineup!
"Is there a need for this?" Chen Guo said.
"This is an official match. The person who came is Ye Xiu," the security captain said solemnly. But when he said this, a cold light seemed to flash through his eyes. He glanced coldly at Ye Xiu, and his right hand subconsciously touched the rubber baton at his waist.
"Such a big grudge?" Even though Chen Guo was a fan of Excellent Era, she had never been to Tyranny's home game with Excellent Era, so she didn't know the atmosphere here. Just as she finished asking this question, she heard someone yell out from somewhere: "Ye Xiu, fight me one on one!"
Following that, a mineral water bottle flew in. Very immoral, it even unscrewed the cap. Immediately, everyone was drenched in water.
"Seven o'clock, seven o'clock!!" The security team's orders were like those of a Glory match. Immediately, someone dashed out in the seven o'clock direction to capture the target. As for the result, Happy's team didn't know. Under the protection of the security team, they quickly entered the stadium and were sent to the prep room.
"How scary!" Chen Guo sighed with lingering fear. "What if this isn't water? What if it's sulfuric acid?" Chen Guo checked where she had been drenched.
Ye Xiu was dumbstruck: "Aren't you too cruel? How big of a grudge do you have? "
Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the prep room. The knocking was so rhythmic that it sounded a little eerie.
"Who is it!" Chen Guo was immediately on guard.
"Zhang Xinjie," the person outside the door replied.
"Uh..." Chen Guo didn't expect it to be a God, so she quickly opened the door.
"I heard you guys were here, so I came over to say hi," Zhang Xinjie greeted everyone in the room. Chen Guo quickly let him in.
"Who's Tyranny going first in the individual competition?" Ye Xiu asked.
This was a question that could easily cause an awkward silence, but Zhang Xinjie still answered: "You'll know when the match starts."
"Are you going up in the group arena?" Ye Xiu asked again.
"Nope..." Zhang Xinjie said.
"Do you know how to chat?" Chen Guo couldn't hold back anymore.
"What's there to chat about?" Ye Xiu asked back.
Chen Guo was about to speak, but Zhang Xinjie actually agreed with Ye Xiu's opinion: "Yeah, I just came over to say hi. Good luck, everyone. I'll take my leave first." With that, he left.
"What?" Chen Guo was confused. "Nothing. Was it really just a simple greeting? Could it be understood that he was trying to make his presence known? "
"Then I'll go too!" Ye Xiu stood up.
"Do you need me to go too, Boss?" Baozi jumped up.
"Whatever!" Ye Xiu didn't care.
"Let's go." Baozi followed.
"I'll go too, I'll go too." Fang Rui also joined in the fun.
"Boring." Wei Chen expressed his disdain for these guys. The others were all well-behaved people, so they naturally wouldn't join in the fun.
The three of them went out. The prep rooms of these two teams were usually either next door or across from each other. Not long after, Chen Guo heard Ye Xiu's voice coming from the hallway outside: "Open the door, I'm here!"
He spoke as though this was his own home. He sounded very familiar.
The door to Tyranny's prep room opened. No one invited him in, so Ye Xiu went in alone with two others behind him.
"The environment of the home team's prep room is still the best!" Ye Xiu sighed. "What's the temperature? It's a little cold over there. "With that said, he looked at the central air conditioner controller on the wall and skillfully operated it.
"What are you doing here?" Han Wenqing asked from the side.
"Courtesy demands reciprocity. Just saying hi!" Ye Xiu said.
"Old Lin." Fang Rui also greeted his old partner, Lin Jingyan.
"The Number One Brawler, Lin Jingyan!" Baozi exclaimed.
Lin Jingyan was Happy. This title hadn't been given to him in a long time. He was happy that this strange guy seemed to know how to chat!
"Happy, the idiots are here!" At this moment, the door to the prep room was pushed open again and someone rushed in.
"Talking about people behind their backs. Where's your manners?" Ye Xiu turned around. The person who rushed in was Zhang Jiale.
"Yo, you're here." Zhang Jiale acted as though nothing had happened.
"You were the one who threw that bottle of mineral water just now, weren't you?" Ye Xiu said.
"What mineral water?" Zhang Jiale was confused.
"Don't pretend. I think you were the one who threw the grenade," Ye Xiu said.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Zhang Jiale said.
"I'll teach you a lesson during the competition," Ye Xiu said as he walked out.
"I'll teach you a lesson!" Baozi threatened Zhang Jiale fiercely as he walked out the door.
"Happy … How strange!" Zhang Jiale watched the two of them leave.
"You were the one who threw the bottle of mineral water?" Even Tyranny's own team members asked. Clearly, this had happened not long ago, so the Tyranny players had already heard about it.
"I'm not that childish!" Zhang Jiale said. "But was it just water? Why didn't you put some paint on it? Let those Happy guys come out in all kinds of colors, hahaha. "
"What a grudge!" someone exclaimed.
"Ah!" Zhang Jiale was shocked. "Why is there another one?"
"There was always another one …" Lin Jingyan was speechless. Fang Rui came over to chat with him. Zhang Jiale came in and saw Ye Xiu and BoZi, so he didn't notice that Happy had an ambush.
"If Happy comes again, there might be paint or something waiting for you!" Fang Rui said to Zhang Jiale.
"What a grudge!" Zhang Jiale said.
"Who says so?" Fang Rui smiled. "Let's go!" he said to everyone and left.
"Damn, you have to be careful next time. Happy's shameless wretches are really capable of doing that," Zhang Jiale said as he watched Fang Rui leave.
"Why is it so cold?" Zhang Jiale felt the temperature in the room and looked at the air conditioning panel on the wall.
"18 degrees? You guys are crazy! "Zhang Jiale shouted.
"Ye Xiu probably did it …" Everyone noticed that Ye Xiu had fiddled with it a few times after he came in.
"I told you, they're capable of doing anything!" Zhang Jiale said.
