The 26th round of matches came to an end one by one.
Happy defeated Heavenly Swords 9 to 1. Even though their relationship off the field was quite good, it didn't affect Happy's ruthlessness on the field.
Blue Rain versus Micrograss. As the away team, Micrograss was extremely strong. After Gao Yingjie defeated Lu Hanwen, they won two more individual matches and even won the group arena. They actually advanced to the team competition with a 5 point lead. However, in the end, Blue Rain still won the team competition. The two teams tied at 5 to 5.
Wind Howl versus Tyranny. Tang Hao's loss to Lin Jingyan was undoubtedly very eye-catching. However, in the end, they still managed to snatch 2 points. The final score was 2 to 8. This kind of result didn't help their ranking on the leaderboards very much. 301 Degrees defeated Parade 8 to 2. Hundred Blossoms defeated Bright Green 10 to 0. Wind Howl's point gap to the top 8 was pulled further apart, and the following matches continued to be unfavorable for them. In Round 27, Wind Howl's opponent was Blue Rain.
Wind Howl had the home team advantage, but the outside world was still unanimously calling them down. Wind Howl's position in people's hearts was becoming lower and lower. Would they be able to redeem themselves in this match? Everyone was already numb to this kind of thing.
In Round 27, the match that attracted the most attention was Micrograss facing off against Happy in their home game.
After a few rounds of the second half of the season, those guys who hated Happy finally found a point.
The second half of the season was a repeat of the first half of the season after the two teams swapped home and away games. Happy's first half of the season didn't have a good start. Even though the second half of the season was much better, it was still far from their previous strong start. These guys who were looking for Happy quickly picked out the teams that had won both home and away games against Happy based on the results of the other teams.
Samsara, Blue Rain, Tyranny …
These three teams had won two of their matches against Happy by a relatively large margin.
As a result, an article titled "Looks Beautiful" was published in the Esports Times, which was published in the second half of that month. The author was Ruan Cheng, the head writer of the Esports Times, who had started out as a hater of Tang Rou and embarked on the path of Life Happy Underworld.
In the article, Ruan Cheng explained in detail the relationship between Happy's ups and downs and the competition schedule. In the first half of the match, because they had run into a lot of strong teams at the start of the match, it was difficult for them to get off to the start. Once they got through all of that, Happy started to gain confidence by playing against weak teams. But this kind of confidence did not last long. Because of the two-round round-robin system, Happy once again faced opponents that they could not defeat. This time, be it home or away, Happy continued to lose in front of these opponents.
"Those who still have fantasies about Happy can give up now." Ruan Cheng wrote at the end of the article, "This team isn't even at the first-rate level. If you're hoping for them to win the championship, you might as well buy a lottery ticket. With their strength, being able to make it to the playoffs is already something to be proud of. And in the second half of the match, every team will be fighting hard for a ticket to the playoffs. If Happy falls behind, don't be too disappointed. There are 38 matches in the regular season. You can't rely on luck to make it to the end. "
"This Ruan Cheng, why is he always holding onto us and not letting us go!" After reading the Esports Times, Chen Guo was instantly infuriated.
"If you knew, then why did you buy the Esports Times!" Ye Xiu mocked her.
"…" Chen Guo was speechless. Why did she buy it? Wasn't it because in her heart, she was still hoping that those guys who dissed Happy would be convinced by their outstanding performance? In the end? Nothing. Every time Happy did something wrong, they would bring it out and talk about it non-stop. But this time, based on their double-kill by a few powerhouses, they actually labeled Happy as a fake powerhouse team.
Wasn't this label exclusive to Wind Howl? Why did it suddenly fall onto Happy's head? Chen Guo couldn't take it anymore.
"Don't get angry at these people. No matter what kind of results they achieve, as long as they're willing to diss you, you can always find something to criticize," Ye Xiu said.
"Wind Howl is a fake powerhouse team, but I don't see him say a single word. All he does is stare at us," Chen Guo said.
"In the next match, he'll probably be even more active," Ye Xiu said.
In Round 27 of the League, Happy challenged Micrograss in an away game. In Round 8, Happy lost to Micrograss 2-8 in their home game. Tang Rou's 1v3 also failed in this round. In the end, she broke her promise after the match. It was also from here that Ruan Cheng embarked on his journey of dissing Happy to death.
Now, the League had gone through one cycle. Happy stood in front of Micrograss again. This time, it was an away game, so it would undoubtedly be more difficult to win. Ruan Cheng had probably already raised his pen. If Happy lost again, Micrograss would be another team that had double-killed them. The evidence of Happy's fake powerhouse team seemed to be even more solid. Who knew how many more sarcastic insults would roll over.
Chen Guo was suddenly filled with worry.
Just as Ye Xiu said, ignore these people's deliberate dissing? Chen Guo couldn't do that. Even if she couldn't convince them with actions, Chen Guo still hoped that she could slap them in the face. But the problem was that this time, they had to face a strong opponent like Micrograss, and it was an away game. It was too embarrassing to say something like "You must win." That would put too much pressure on everyone.
"In any case, just do your best," Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo sighed. She really envied Ye Xiu's calm attitude.
In the twenty-seventh round of the League, Ruan Cheng was as active as Ye Xiu had said. He was unprecedentedly active. This time, he actually received an invitation from the TV station to be a guest commentator for this round's live broadcast with Li Yibo. And this round's live broadcast was Happy's away game against Micrograss.
"This time, we're going to introduce a new face to everyone, but I'm sure everyone is familiar with this name. This is Esports Time's columnist, Mr. Ruan Cheng. I'm sure many players have seen Mr. Ruan's articles before. Especially in the most recent issue of Esports Time, Mr. Ruan's article 'It's Beautiful' had a huge response! Mr. Ruan seems to always have a different opinion about Team Happy. I'm sure Mr. Ruan will pay special attention to today's match, so I invited you to our broadcast room to talk about this match. Thank you for coming today, Mr. Ruan. "Pan Lin introduced today's guest during the broadcast before the match officially began.
"Haha, you're welcome. Hello, Pan Lin. Hello, Coach Li." Ruan Cheng greeted Pan Lin and Li Yibo confidently on camera.
"Shouldn't we first listen to Mr. Ruan's opinion about today's match?" Pan Lin said.
"Haha, of course, I still stand by my point of view. Compared to the top teams, Team Happy still has a large gap. And today's Micrograss is such a team. Plus, they have the home game advantage. I think Micrograss has a very high chance of winning. "Ruan Cheng didn't mind predicting the match at all. Compared to the cautious Li Yibo, it was a far cry from him.
"Understood. What about Coach Li? What do you think? You seem to be quite optimistic about Happy recently. "Pan Lin didn't neglect his old partner Li Yibo just because of the new guest.
"Haha, Happy is a new team, so they have a lot of room for improvement. After half a season, it's obvious that they've improved. I think a team like this has a chance to achieve anything, so I won't be too surprised no matter who wins or loses this match. "Li Yibo's words were as smooth as usual. However, under Ruan Cheng's clear stance and attitude, his smooth words seemed to be a strong support for Happy.
"Okay, after hearing your opinions, let's take a look at the scene. The two teams have already entered the field." Pan Lin said.
The scene immediately changed to the field. The two teams were currently shaking hands and greeting each other before the match.
"I wonder who Micrograss will send out first today?" Pan Lin asked. The hidden meaning behind this question was, of course, who would be fighting Ye Xiu today, and whether or not Ye Xiu's winning streak would end here.
"Every team will usually send their best players to the group arena to fight for those two points. It really isn't easy to arrange the players for the individual competition." Ruan Cheng sighed. But of course, everyone understood the hidden meaning between the lines. He was saying that Ye Xiu's winning streak was because the core members of each team rarely came to the individual competition.
If it was a few rounds ago, this explanation would have made some sense. But now, Ye Xiu had won a total of 26 consecutive rounds. He was so strong that no one had the strength to count. Even if he hadn't met a top God in the individual competition, to be able to win 26 consecutive rounds was a record that could only be achieved by a pro player in the game's Arena. The gap between pro players wasn't so big that one could easily crush the other. Those top-notch gods had also stumbled at the hands of countless contestants. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, hadn't stumbled even once in 26 rounds. It was true that he hadn't met a top God yet, but if he used this as an excuse, then it would be pure slander for the sake of slandering him.
Ruan Cheng seemed to know that it wasn't right to emphasize this too much, so he held back and didn't say it directly. It seemed like he was just casually mentioning it.
"Okay, both teams' players are leaving the field. Ha, Ye Xiu might as well just stay on the field. The screen hasn't announced the players yet! "Pan Lin said.
"Let's see who Micrograss will send out," Li Yibo said calmly.
Xu Bin!
Finally, the electronic screen announced the players for the first match of the two teams. Happy was Ye Xiu, and Micrograss was Xu Bin, with the Knight character Angelica.
"It's Xu Bin. What do you two teachers think of this arrangement?" Pan Lin said.
"Ye Xiu's unspecialized plays quickly, while Grind King Xu Bin is famous for being able to drag things out. In this match, everyone will have to see who has better control of the pace of the match. Whoever is able to drag the match into a rhythm will have a higher chance of winning, "Li Yibo said.
"Looks like it'll be a very interesting match. What do you think, Teacher Ruan?" Pan Lin said.
"Yeah … …" Ruan Cheng only responded like this. Even though he really wanted to slander Happy, he really didn't like being slapped in the face. Ye Xiu had already won 26 consecutive rounds. He really didn't dare to casually think that Ye Xiu's opponent would win.
