The Void fans in the stadium booed Wei Chen for a very long time. Then, they looked at the electronic scoreboard and felt a wave of disappointment.
1 to 2. They had already lost 2 points. Void was already very far away from the top 8. Losing these 2 points meant that their future was getting bleaker and bleaker.
Next up was the group arena. Happy had Tang Rou, Bao Zi, and Fang Rui. Void had Ge Zhaolan, Yang Haoxuan, and Wu Yuce.
There were still fans in the stadium who refused to give up, stubbornly cheering for Team Void. But Tang Rou went on stage and attacked powerfully, almost succeeding in a 1v2. After Bao Zi went on stage, he used 17% of his health to take care of Void's second player, Yang Haoxuan, who had already been beaten down to low health by Tang Rou.
Wu Yuce went on stage, facing a 1v2 situation. The stadium fell silent. They didn't have the heart to cheer anymore. Void's season might really end like this. There was no need to put the pressure on one person at this time. The failure of the season wasn't one person's fault.
Even the fans were pessimistic, but Wu Yuce still didn't give up. He was clearly a pro player who understood the difficulty of a match better than normal people. But at this moment, he looked forward to a miracle more than the audience. He believed that a miracle could be created.
Wu Yuce went on stage. Carved Ghost cleanly cut down Baozi's invasion.
Fang Rui went on stage to meet the enemy. He faced Carved Ghost, who was already at half health.
The map was Void's street map. For the dirty playstyle Fang Rui, this was like a fish in water.
"This time, I won't lose to you again." After entering the match, Fang Rui said in the chat. Last time, Happy had faced Void. Fang Rui had indeed lost to Wu Yuce, but that was under the circumstance that he had picked one person first. For the group arena, killing Wu Yuce's Carved Ghost at half health was already very successful.
This time, Hai Wuliang was in the lead in terms of health. Furthermore, his Qi Master playstyle had undergone a season of testing, and was now fully formed.
"You can try." Wu Yuce, who was usually a man of few words, actually replied in the channel. He knew how good Fang Rui was. After all, they were in the same batch. He had also recognized Fang Rui's Qigong Despicable fighting style earlier than the others. Happy when he was a guest last time. After the match, he was asked by Fang Rui to spar with him many times. In the end, it was hard to tell who would win more. Wu Yuce only knew that Fang Rui's playstyle would definitely work.
Reality had proven this point. Fang Rui had indeed carved out a new path for himself as a Qigong Master, although it seemed that the orthodox Qigong Masters looked down on him. However, now that Zhao Yang had retired, there wasn't a single Qi Master who could take up the mantle. There wasn't a Qigong Master in this season's All-Stars, but what about next year? Next year, based on Happy's results and Fang Rui's performance, this guy might even enter the All-Stars as a Qigong Master. At that time, it would really be a resounding slap to the faces of those who looked down on his Qigong Despicable style!
You all look down on my playstyle, but I am the number one Qigong Master.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuce felt that it was quite interesting. He really wanted to see it. However, even so, he didn't want to become Fang Rui's stepping stone. For the sake of Void's victory, he wouldn't hesitate to make things difficult for this guy.
I won't lose!
Void's season isn't over yet!
The saber light that exuded the power of the Ghost God roared. Wu Yuce's performance was even more ferocious than in the previous match.
Win … Win?
The instant the result came out, even the live audience couldn't believe it.
Wu Yuce's Carved Ghost stood at the very end, with only four percent of his health remaining.
"You bastard …" Fang Rui finally left this sentence in the chat. Meeting such an opponent was sometimes quite frustrating for wretched players like them. This kind of guy was brave and decisive. He didn't play mind games with dirty players. He only used the sharpness of his sword to cut through everything.
In the group arena, Void won in the end. Those Void fans who had already given up suddenly all woke up. The stadium was like a volcano that had been dormant for many years suddenly erupting. The passion released in one second was enough to burn everything. Happy's three returned to the player area. If they wanted to communicate with the others, they could only shout. The stadium was really too loud.
3 to 2. Now Void was in the lead. If they won the team competition, if it was 8 to 2, perhaps there was still hope?
Wu Yuce's unyielding performance didn't just win them two points. It also ignited people's expectations for Void.
But, it ended here …
Wu Yuce sighed. He turned his camera, but all he saw were his fallen teammates.
Blue Exorcist, Spirit Guardian, Ghost Lantern, Translucent.
"It's just the two of us left!" Wu Yuce had never been a melancholic person, but this time, the Void's season was about to come to an end.
"Mm." Behind Carved Ghost, Sobbing Ghost and Li Xuan stood with their backs against each other. Li Xuan gave a simple reply.
Void's Ghost Duo. They were the only two left in Void. Although they were called a classic duo, for them to fight two against five was a bit too much.
Happy had them completely surrounded. But they weren't in a hurry to attack. Crying Ghost didn't have much mana left. He couldn't keep up the chain of Ghost Boundaries. They just had to wait for the Ghost Boundaries to disappear, and then calmly charge forward to surround them.
"Last one," Li Xuan said. The power of the Ghost God surged on Crying Ghost's blade, casting the last Ghost Boundary.
Boom!
Dancing Rain fired at this moment. Li Xuan had no choice but to interrupt his cast and dodge.
"Tsk, the last one is gone too," Li Xuan said. Crying Ghost's mana had been completely used up.
"It's over just like that!"
"Mm, it's over …"
The Ghost Boundaries disappeared, revealing an opening. Happy charged forward, close and far, attacking together. Void's Ghost Duo finally fell in the Ghost Boundaries they had guarded for so long.
In Round 33, Happy won their away game 7 to 3. Void had only taken 3 points. They had no chance of winning this season. Even if their other competitors had performed extremely poorly, with only five rounds left, there was no need to fantasize about the so-called theoretical possibility of catching up to such a large difference in points. Only those who refused to give up would hope for such an extremely remote possibility, hoping that their competitors wouldn't get a single point in the remaining rounds, quietly waiting for Void to surpass them.
But was that possible?
The instant the match between Void and Happy ended, there were already people hurriedly scrolling through the information for the other matches.
Hundred Blossoms, 9 to 1, had won their home game against Misty Rain. The gap between them and Void had widened from 23 points to 29 points.
301 Degrees, a perfect 10 to 0 victory over Miracle. The gap between them and Void had widened from 28 points to 35 points.
There was still one match left!
It was this round's most anticipated match, Thunder's match against Wind Howl.
In the individual competition, Thunder was down 1 to 4. Right now, the two sides were engaged in a fierce confrontation in the team competition.
Wind Howl's recent team competition had been very fierce. Their man to man style of tearing apart many of the strong teams had been shaken. Perhaps they would win this match again? If they won 9 to 1, Team Thunder would only have 1 point. Perhaps they would continue to lose at this pace, and Void would win and then surpass them?
No matter what, the Void fans refused to give up and held onto this fantasy. They hurriedly entered the details of this match, and after looking at it again, they finally cut off their last trace of hope.
Thunder had reached the pinnacle of teamwork. Their players, individually, couldn't be said to be very strong. But every one of them was a team player. Their tactical skill was high, and they had a strong sense of teamwork. After forming a team, they suddenly had the strength to rival any other team. And Wind Howl? Their new playstyle was practically the opposite of Thunder. Their teamwork was ultimately to achieve non-teamwork. Their method was ultimately to turn the team competition into an individual competition.
Because of this, they had torn apart many of the strong teams. But when they met Thunder, they had met their nemesis. The most cooperative and cohesive team in the entire Alliance really wasn't that easy to tear apart. They had lost, and with their playstyle, a loss meant defeat. To be able to hold on for so long, Wind Howl could be considered to have done their best. But unfortunately, in the end, it was still Thunder who obtained victory.
6 to 4.
After this round of matches, the final results of the few teams competing for the playoff spots were finally released.
Void had been completely eliminated, but Hundred Blossoms had caught up again. They currently had 208 points, evenly split with Wind Howl. Because of the small difference in points, they were still in ninth place.
The rankings were temporary. The difference in points between the two sides was even more important. If the difference was too small, then it could be flipped in one round. After this round, from fifth to ninth place, Happy had the highest points with 219 points, while Wind Howl and Hundred Blossoms had the lowest with 208 points, a difference of 11 points. Happy had to face three of these teams directly after this round. This 11 point advantage was really hard to say.
After this round, it could only be said that they had passed another hurdle. Void had fallen behind, but no team had landed safely.
The next 34 rounds were a good opportunity for Happy to grab a spot. Their opponent was Team Lightly. They weren't strong themselves, and they didn't have any goals this season. Chen Guo even wanted to directly add these ten points to her team's tally.
But the lineup for this round made Chen Guo nervous again.
"You're not going in the team competition?" Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu in surprise. In this round's team competition roster, Ye Xiu and his Lord Grim weren't there.
"Yeah, I'll try to rest as much as possible in the next few rounds," Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo stared blankly. Time and time again, she had worried about Ye Xiu's career longevity. Time and time again, she had wondered if Ye Xiu was working too hard. From the game, to the Pro League, to management, to tactics, to training, to making equipment, there was nothing that Ye Xiu wasn't working hard on. Was he really not tired?
Chen Guo had wondered this before.
And now, Ye Xiu was clearly telling her: he was also tired, and needed to rest.
