Pan Lin and Li Yibo were astonished. Happy had made arrangements for this round. At this moment, the team competition between Happy and Miracle was already halfway through.
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash?
He Ming's analysis was perfect, but reality told them that Qiao Yifan wasn't someone they could defeat as they wished. When the two teams met, One Inch Ash was nowhere to be seen. He had gone to play strategy.
Matches couldn't be so inflexible. If the target wasn't there, they couldn't just ignore the situation and insist on finding him. As a result, Miracle felt that they had a slight advantage in numbers. Just fight!
Yes, they had a huge advantage in numbers.
When the two sides clashed, Miracle had five players, while Happy only had Tang Rou and Su Mucheng.
Five against two, what was there to be afraid of?
Miracle swarmed forward, but they also knew that Happy wouldn't set up two players for them to kill, so they also carefully watched where Happy's other players would suddenly appear.
Five against two, the result of this battle was obvious. He Ming, Wang Ze, and Shen Jian all felt their hearts tremble.
What were they facing? This was a combination of a Battle Mage and a Launcher! The duo they couldn't be more familiar with, the duo they had revolved around for many years. And this duo, whether it was a 2v1 or a 2v2 or a 3v4 or a 5v5, they had all done it before. In the minds of He Ming and the other two, the advantage in numbers? That was it. They were being pinned down!
Soon after, Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang appeared. Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash appeared as well. They appeared from the left and right wings and began pincer attacks on Miracle.
One Inch Ash appeared, but it wasn't easy to target One Inch Ash. He Ming and the others suddenly realized that they were being pinned down. And this was a scene they were very familiar with! In the past, it was always their opponents being pinned down by the Battle Mage and Launcher, and then they would add fuel to the fire.
In the end, it was still the strategy they were most familiar with?
He Ming and the others were a bit dazed. With Lord Grim and Dancing Rain, they had relied on their familiarity with the players to make a targeted arrangement. But in the end, Lord Grim hadn't gone up, making them feel as if they had lost their backbone. In the end, the combination of Han Yanrou and Dancing Rain made them feel even more deja vu than Lord Grim and Dancing Rain.
Sigh, if I had known this would happen …
He Ming and the other two were all in the same mood. In the end, the team competition ended with Happy's victory. Happy had obtained a great victory with a score of 9 to 1.
During the post-match press conference, no one was interested in the Miracle team and ended it hastily. After Happy came onstage, the reporters couldn't help but feel a little curious about Luo Ji's appearance and Ye Xiu's absence from the team competition.
The answer he got was to adapt and practice for the playoffs.
Happy, we've already entered the rhythm of the playoffs!
Then, such headlines appeared in the newspapers. However, this was not something to be surprised about. At the end of the season, a few mature and stable teams would indeed begin to plan for the playoffs. Whether it was in the past or now, the playoffs were very different from the regular season. The schedule was packed, and the home and away teams would always have to run back and forth, which required some adjustments and arrangements.
However, it was only Round 28! Happy's rhythm of the playoffs, wasn't it a little too early? Starting all kinds of practice now, weren't they afraid of accidentally falling out of the playoffs?
However, Happy, who had been practicing, still won with a score of 9 to 1, so what could the outside world say? Those who were focused on criticizing Happy could only swallow their words in front of the truth.
Round 28 was a complete victory for the strong teams. Apart from Wind Howl's 9 to 1 victory over 301 Degrees, no other match's score was surprising.
Team Happy, who had won 9 points, had 187 points and remained in sixth place. Next was Team Hundred Blossoms, with 183 points. After Wind Howl's 9 to 1 victory over 301 Degrees, they had successfully ambushed the opposition in the first round. Although they had the same number of points as 301 Degrees, Wind Howl had won 9 to 1 in this round and lost 3 to 7 to 301 Degrees in the ninth round. The total score of the two teams was 12 to 8, with Wind Howl having the advantage, so Wind Howl was ahead of them.
Wind Howl and 301 Degrees swapped places, which was the only change in the rankings after this round. The other teams all stayed behind in their original positions. The 12th place team, Royal Style, was already down. It could be said that this season was over. Next, it would be up to them to see if they would work hard to climb up the rankings in order to get more bonuses. However, this motivation was still enough for the managers of the teams, but for the players, it wasn't enough motivation.
The media reported that at this time, they were also gathering around the area around the eighth place. The powerhouses in front of Samsara, Blue Rain, and Micrograss were too lazy to report. The battle for the championship of the regular season had already lost its suspense. The powerhouses had stable results, so even if they fell, they wouldn't be able to leave the playoff zone. What was there to write about? Getting into the top four was something that had a bit of motivation. After all, the top four would retain the home field advantage in the playoffs. However, compared to the current intense battle for the 8th place, getting into the top four could be left for later.
April 3rd, Round 29 of the season, 301 Degrees faced off against Misty Rain in their home field, which seemed to have a bit of weight this round.
Team Misty Rain currently had 149 points and was ranked 10th. Unexpectedly, both Wind Howl and 301 Degrees had 18 points. In theory, they still had hope of making the playoffs. However, Misty Rain's performance this season made it so that people didn't dare to have too much hope for them.
Misty Rain's new strategy had always been criticized, but they still hadn't made any changes during the winter transfer window. In the second half of the season, their performance hadn't improved much. Now that they were in the final ten rounds, no one knew if they still had the courage to make the playoffs. The official announcements to the outside world were of course about trust, hard work, fighting for a turnaround, and so on. Anyone could say that. Bright Green and Seaside also said that they wouldn't give up, but anyone could see that they had already given up.
Round 29 was a bit dull. Happy that this round was an away game against Royal Style. The former top team had now fallen so far that they didn't even have a chance to make the playoffs. However, Royal Style's home stadium was still bustling with activity. This was a veteran team with ten years of history. How many other teams in the Alliance had ten years of history?
Quite a few of the fans in the home stadium were very old. There were even quite a few in their thirties and forties. This was probably the scene exclusive to veteran teams. These people probably didn't come into contact with Glory much later than Ye Xiu. Even though they were just normal people and didn't have Ye Xiu's accomplishments, to be able to persevere for ten years like this, their love for Glory couldn't be any less. Glory was already an important part of everyone's lives.
Royal Style had completely fallen, but these people didn't leave. It was just like how Glory was an important part of their lives. Royal Style was also an important part of their lives. They were already used to supporting this team. Good results were good, bad results were fine. Seeing a young player with an advantage, they didn't care. It wasn't something that fans of their age would do.
In the first round of the individual competition, Happy's first player was still Ye Xiu. The crowd actually gave Ye Xiu a round of applause as soon as he came onstage.
They had watched Glory for ten years, so they also respected this ten-year veteran. Even though this guy had ruthlessly destroyed Royal Style in the Glory Season 1 finals, Royal Style didn't hold as much of a grudge as Tyranny did. After all, they had only held grudges this year, unlike Excellent Era and Tyranny, who had gone back and forth for four years. Every year, they would meet in the playoffs, so of course their grudge would be huge.
The applause surprised Ye Xiu a little. He immediately waved his hand in greeting to the home crowd. Thinking of Royal Style's past and then looking at the present, Ye Xiu was filled with emotion.
When he came onstage and clashed with the opposing player and character, Ye Xiu sighed even more.
Tian Sen, Peaceful Hermit.
Royal Style had surprisingly sent out their core captain to face Ye Xiu in the first round.
Compared to Wind Howl's Tang Hao, Royal Style's arrangement was probably a little different. They were already like this for this season. They didn't have any goals. So now that they were relaxed, their core captain came to fight in the individual competition. They probably wanted to try and destroy Ye Xiu's record, give the team a bit of a gimmick, and make the fans a little more lively! After all, this kind of ending was too dull.
Peaceful Hermit!
Ye Xiu stared at the projection in the center of the stage.
This was the character that had competed with Ye Xiu for the Glory League's first championship. At that time, One Leaf Of Autumn, Desert Dust, and Peaceful Hermit were the three strongest characters in the Alliance. But now? Peaceful Hermit … How many youngsters knew of this character's past prowess? This season's All-Stars, Peaceful Hermit, didn't even make it into the All-Stars lineup.
Tian Sen. Ye Xiu saw the current player of Peaceful Hermit, who was currently making his way into the competitor booth. This player, who was as tall and muscular as an athlete, seemed to have a harder time making his way into the competitor booth than the others. It looked rather comical.
The Golden Generation, the most dazzling group of rookies in the Alliance, all of whom later became core members of their teams. Tian Sen was probably the most tragic of them all. His entire professional career had been spent watching Royal Style go from a top powerhouse to a team that didn't even have a chance to play in Lian Jin's post-season matches. And yet, he was still silently persevering. Team 301 Degrees had sent him an invitation for the winter transfer, but before Royal Style could say anything, he took the initiative to stand up and express his intentions.
No matter what the results were, just based on this heart alone, he was a player worthy of respect.
As Ye Xiu made his way into the competitor booth, he thought of the player before Tian Sen, one of the Three Gods of that era along with him and Han Wenqing: Guo Mingyu.
"God my ass." Ye Xiu scrolled through his account as he cursed, "He still owes me money and he's already gone! What kind of character is that!"
