In the group arena, in the end, Troubling Rain killed Blossoming Chaos, and Team Blue Rain won the match. In addition to the two wins they had in the individual competition, Team Blue Rain entered the team competition with a 4 to 1 lead.
In the end, Team Blue Rain won the team competition again with their home advantage, beating Hundred Blossoms 9 to 1.
In the same round, Happy beat Seaside 9 to 1. Conquering Clouds was crushed by 301 Degrees in their away game, losing 0 to 10 without a single point. As for Team Wind Howl, their home game against Misty Rain, although they won 8 to 2, their original 2 point lead was once again evened out by 301 Degrees. Relying on their small point advantage, they continued to be in eighth place.
There were two other matches that attracted more attention this round: Micrograss against Void in their home game, and Tyranny against Thunder in their home game.
In the end, both teams ended the match with 8 to 2. Team Thunder had once again fallen at the hands of Team Tyranny. What was more surprising about Team Tyranny this round was that in their starting lineup, Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, Lin Jingyan, and Zhang Xinjie, the four players who had never fought together in a team competition this season, finally appeared together.
Was this a coincidence?
No one would think so. Team Tyranny's rotation was clearly to have Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, and Lin Jingyan take turns to appear on the field. But now, all three of them were on the field, and Tyranny's lineup didn't seem to have any problems. Why?
"Tyranny is also starting to fight for the playoffs." Team Happy, after receiving the match report and glancing over the other team's lineup, Ye Xiu had already come to a conclusion.
If it were in the past, Chen Guo would definitely ask why. But this time, she didn't need Ye Xiu to explain. Because she could also understand the meaning behind it. Happy. In fact, there was a similar arrangement, and it was Wei Chen. And Wei Chen's situation was much more serious than Tyranny and the others.
The energy of a veteran was not enough to cope with the entire season, not to mention the more intense, intense, and intensive playoffs after the regular season.
Last season, Tyranny was so strong, but in the end, he lost in the finals.
Perhaps they had already felt the fatigue and were only relying on the conviction in their hearts to hold on. Another round, another round … Perhaps this was the voice that kept ringing in their hearts. To be able to fight their way into the finals and fight three rounds against Samsara in the finals, these old generals' willpower had already reached the peak. However, they were like an arrow at the end of its flight, unable to break through. In this exhausted state, they had met the strongest opponent in the Alliance. In the end, Tyranny still lost, and countless people felt that it was a pity.
As a result, in the new season, they lost their momentum from last season and started off with a bad record. Everyone felt regret and sighed. The spirit of a veteran was worthy of respect, but how much use would such stubborn persistence be?
More and more people were calling for Tyranny, but they didn't understand. They just continued to advance in this way. Their results gradually stabilized. Although they weren't as strong as last season, they didn't feel much pressure entering the playoffs. But people still felt regret. They missed last season's gathering of the Four Heavenly Kings and sweeping through the Alliance in high spirits.
Yes, high spirits, but in the end, they lost in the finals.
This time, Tyranny wouldn't let their emotions affect their decisions. They played in a very low-key manner. The old generals, including Han Wenqing, who had never backed down in the past ten years, rotated in and out of the lineup. He was the team captain, the soul of Tyranny's team. Currently, there hadn't been a team with a player of his caliber in such a stable rotation. It was rare for him to take a break. And now, this kind of thing was happening to Han Wenqing, the Han Wenqing who never knew when to back down and pressed forward courageously.
Everything was for the sake of the championship.
After last season's final loss, Team Tyranny clearly understood that they couldn't squander as freely as the younger generation. They needed to conserve. They needed to have enough energy to face the finals. So this season, they rotated and advanced in a low-key manner. The three old generals, compared to last season, each played a third less than last season. They used the intensity of a pro match to maintain their condition, but didn't use up as much energy.
And now, it was the thirtieth round of the regular season. After this round, there were eight more rounds of the regular season to end. Then, it would be the even more brutal and intense playoffs.
Team Tyranny's low-profile had come to an end. In the match against Thunder, they showed their ferocious side. The three old generals and Zhang Xinjie teamed up to take down Thunder, who had created a miracle with their teamwork this season. It announced their return, and announced that they had entered the rhythm of the playoffs. They wanted to use the next eight rounds to let this team find the feeling and the final form, because this was what they were really relying on, the weapon to win the championship. Ever since they formed this team last season, which was regarded by the public as an old team, they had never doubted this point.
"Get ready to start."
In the post-match press conference, Han Wenqing answered the reporters' questions about the starting lineup with a simple sentence.
It had begun.
All the teams were about to start.
The teams that had yet to secure a spot in the playoffs would begin their final battle in these eight rounds. The teams that had already entered the playoffs began to adjust their rhythm of entering the playoffs.
Tyranny sent out the three old generals. Happy, and also let Luo Ji and Wei Chen find their form and feel in actual combat. And some teams that didn't seem to have much hope began to change their strategies. Some began to give it their all, some no longer cared about the results, and began to boldly try more. Every team, because of their different circumstances, would enter a different rhythm in the last eight rounds.
And these different collisions would often cause some inexplicable chaos. Some would be implicated, while others would take advantage of the situation.
Happy, unfortunately, became one of the implicated. In the thirty-first round of the away match against Misty Rain, Happy lost miserably 1-9. Other than Ye Xiu's first victory in the individual competition, Happy lost spectacularly.
If it had been Misty Rain from last season, it wouldn't have been too surprising for them to achieve such a large score against any other team. But this season, Misty Rain's situation was clearly not good, and their tactical design was seen as a failure. In the end, Misty Rain played an unrestrained match, and in the end, defeated Happy.
"Don't underestimate us!" Chu Yunxiu said to Ye Xiu with a smile during the post-match handshake.
"I'm not underestimating you, I really couldn't tell," Ye Xiu said helplessly.
Happy had sent Luo Ji and Wei Chen up for the individual competition, and they were already prepared to lose points. The main thing was that Misty Rain really didn't care about the criticism from both inside and outside of the circle at all. In this round, they played even more arrogantly. Chu Yunxiu led the sisters, Shu Kexin and Shu Keyi, and the three long-ranged players played elegantly. Li Hua, the Ninja, didn't even bother to be a close-range guerrilla tank this time. He also ran around the field and attacked everywhere.
Misty Rain's play was completely erratic this round. Happy was caught off guard, and in the end, they snatched the victory just like that.
"What do you think? What do you think of our playstyle?" Chu Yunxiu was still actively seeking Ye Xiu's opinion.
"You got an advantage once and you're already laughing. Can you stop showing off?" Ye Xiu said.
"Hehe." Chu Yunxiu actually didn't have much of an opinion on this. Clearly, she also knew that this round was purely a performance. In the end, Happy was caught off guard. This required careful preparation, and their playstyle wasn't very reliable.
"Good luck!"
After Ye Xiu walked past Chu Yunxiu, Su Mucheng came up and pulled on Chu Yunxiu's hand. She gave this kind of encouragement, as if they were the ones who won this round, and not Misty Rain.
Chu Yunxiu of course understood Su Mucheng's intentions. She wasn't encouraging this round, but Misty Rain's overall situation.
Facing her good friend, Chu Yunxiu no longer had the smug expression she had in front of Ye Xiu. After shaking her head, she actually smiled bitterly.
"Let's sit together later!" Chu Yunxiu said to Su Mucheng.
"Okay!" Su Mucheng didn't refuse. The two didn't waste any more time here. After the players on both sides continued with their post-match greetings, they each returned to their respective prep rooms to prepare for the post-match press conference.
Misty Rain was the winner, and the press conference was after Happy. The sudden big victory seemed to have made the reporters very excited. They excitedly asked Misty Rain what her playstyle was this round, and also asked Misty Rain what she thought of the playoffs.
Chu Yunxiu answered the questions one by one. Playstyle was something that the team had always been exploring and researching. Today's victory seemed to have a good effect, and the team would further research it. As for the playoffs? There was no final moment, who knew who would win. Misty Rain still hadn't given up and so on.
Seeing the reporters full of intentions, Chu Yunxiu could only sigh in his heart. Misty Rain … Did they really have hope this season?
After the press conference ended, Misty Rain's players also dispersed. Chu Yunxiu was the last to leave the prep room. He opened his phone and saw a message from Su Mucheng: "Waiting for you at Exit E."
"Coming."
Chu Yunxiu replied to the message and headed for Exit E.
When Chu Yunxiu exited Exit E, he saw a blurry and graceful figure under the night light. There was also a guy standing next to her, a red light flickering there.
The graceful figure waved in his direction, and Chu Yunxiu quickly walked over.
"Why are you here too!" Chu Yunxiu didn't greet Su Mucheng, but glanced sideways at Ye Xiu, who had a cigarette in his mouth.
"Seeing God Yun Xiu's doubtful expression, I don't know if you need senior's guidance?" Ye Xiu said.
"Give me a cigarette!" Chu Yunxiu said in a bad mood.
Ye Xiu didn't hesitate. He took out a cigarette, handed it over, and then lit it up. Chu Yunxiu took the cigarette and lit it. His movements weren't unfamiliar.
"Let's go to the coffee shop over there!" Chu Yunxiu said after taking a drag.

Finally, he finished all his daily quests on the same day. Two chapters of popcorn in the wee hours of the morning! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
