The 35th round of the competition had ended, but the amazing thing was that after this round, the rankings remained the same. There was no change at all. Hundred Blossoms, Wind Howl, and 301 Degrees had all won, while Happy and Thunderclap, the two leaders, were tied at 5 to 5.
There were only three rounds left, and no team had a stable position. Thunderclap, the leader of the five teams, was only 9 points away from 301 Degrees in ninth place. If their performance in the next three rounds was too terrible, they might even be eliminated.
The battle for the top eight had reached such a degree. The media wanted to analyze the situation of the five teams, but the print media all felt that there wasn't enough space. Even in such a pressing situation, they had no choice but to give some space to another match.
The Challenger League.
The Season 10 Challenger League.
And this year's Challenger League finals had a certain amount of excitement.
Team Excellent Era had returned!
Even though they were no longer a powerhouse, even though they no longer had the Battle God, One Leaf Of Autumn, the name Excellent Era had finally not been buried. They had reached the final step in the Challenger League. With one more battle, this name would once again return to the Glory Alliance.
What was the current Excellent Era like?
Team Excellent Era, who had reached the final step, finally made the Esports Home willing to use more space to introduce them.
This Excellent Era was still a team with Battle Mages as their core player and character.
Qiu Fei, Combat Form.
Anyone who had watched last season's Challenger League should have an impression of this youth. When Excellent Era fell apart and the players went their separate ways, he, as a talented youth favored by many, had also received many invitations. But in the end, this youth chose to stay, to stay in that Excellent Era, which had already lost all of its glory as a powerhouse, only seemed to be struggling at death's door.
Excellent Era still had a group of fans around him, but the media had basically lost interest in him. Only now, when they saw that there was hope for him to return to the Alliance, did they have some in-depth reports. Then, people discovered that this remaining Excellent Era wasn't as bad as everyone thought.
Qiu Fei's talent had already been recognized. This year, he seemed to have made great progress. As for Combat Form, he had been part of the main roster of Excellent Era in last season's Challenger League. Excellent Era, who had a lot of experience with Battle Mages, had created a set of decent equipment for this character. During this year, his equipment had also evolved to Level 75. As for the other main players, after further investigation, they were all members of the Excellent Era training camp. The New Excellent Era did not have the ability to continue the operation of the training camp, but the good students were kept as official contestants.
Just as Excellent Era's players, characters, and many precious materials were being split up by the other clubs, Xia Zhongtian, who had taken over Excellent Era, made a move at the last moment and managed to obtain two items.
The first was Qiu Fei, the core and soul player of the New Excellent Era.
Second was Excellent Dynasty. Xia Zhongtian accurately grasped the fact that the competitive scene in Glory relied on an online game. Having a firm grasp of the power of an online game guild was an important foundation for the development of a club and team.
As a result, the New Excellent Era stepped into another round of the Challenger League and once again stood in front of the finals. This Friday would decide their final fate.
Excellent Era's opponent was Mysterious Fantasy, the team that had been eliminated along with Excellent Era in Season 8. In the end, the one who had the last laugh in Season 9 was Happy. Both of them had been eliminated. After another season of bitter battles, the two sides finally met in the finals.
Excellent Era was no longer the Excellent Era of the past, but Mysterious Fantasy was still the same Mysterious Fantasy. Their coach, Zhang Yiwei, had stayed on after last season. Mysterious Fantasy's capable players had also stayed on. They had cut through all obstacles to reach the finals. The two teams that had been eliminated in Season 9 had both been eliminated by them, which made them feel even more confident.
As for their opponents in the finals, the new Excellent Era wasn't enough to scare them. Mysterious Fantasy was full of ambition and looked forward to this final battle.
Friday was the day before the Pro League. On this day, most teams wouldn't have any practice scheduled. As a result, Ye Xiu walked around in circles in his apartment in Green Wood Park, bored to death.
"Watch?" Chen Guo asked at this moment. .
"Watch?" Ye Xiu asked back. He didn't ask what she was referring to. Everyone knew what she meant.
As a result, he turned on the TV. The eSports channel, Six Pines Stadium, the place where Happy had fought last year.
The players from both sides had already entered the stadium and were waiting for the match to officially begin. Pan Lin and Li Yibo, the golden duo, were once again commentating on the Challenger League finals, but they didn't seem to be in the mood. This year's Challenger League finals were obviously much less interesting than last year's. After all, once you've seen the blue sea, you can't see the water!
"Okay, the first players of the individual competition are about to come on." Pan Lin said calmly.
"Ahem ahem." Li Yibo coughed.
Pan Lin looked at Li Yibo in confusion, but the broadcast director's roar had already made him react.
"Oh, it's not the individual competition, it's the group arena. Sorry, viewers, it was a slip of the tongue. "Pan Lin hurriedly and sincerely apologized. The Challenger League finals followed the same playoff format. It was a 5v5 group arena and a team competition, and then the points would be calculated. Pan Lin was still caught up in the rhythm of the Pro League regular season, so he wasn't paying attention for a moment.
"Excellent Era's next player is … …" Pan Lin clearly paused when introducing. He didn't know this person! As a result, he could only look at the lineup and guess the person's seat.
"Wen Li." Pan Lin announced the player's name and then dryly read through the information. This was all he knew about this player. Apart from this, he didn't have any personal opinions.
"And Mysterious Fantasy's next player is … …" After the introductions, Mysterious Fantasy was a bit better. Even though they hadn't seen each other in the Pro League for two years, they still had a rough impression of this player.
"Okay, let the match begin." Pan Lin chanted.
But soon, Pan Lin was attracted by the content of the match and gradually became excited.
After all, the Challenger League finals were as important as the finals for these two teams. Their year's worth of hard work would all be wasted in this one hour or more. There was no way back. The two sides could only fight to the death. Although their technical and tactical level may not be as good as those teams that were fighting for the top eight in the regular season, this kind of fighting spirit to win with all their might was perfectly conveyed through their own performance on the field. This type of match could always move the audience.
When Mysterious Fantasy's fourth player came out and Excellent Era's fifth player came out, Pan Lin even began to sigh with emotion for Excellent Era.
"Excellent Era made a lot of mistakes! They could have played better in the group arena! Coach Li, what do you think? "Pan Lin said.
"Yes." Li Yibo nodded, "In terms of skill level, Excellent Era's players aren't any worse than Mysterious Fantasy's. But in terms of actual match experience, this Excellent Era's players are probably much worse. Mysterious Fantasy's players have at least some experience in the Pro League, but none of the current members of Excellent Era have ever played in a real Pro League. They're still lacking in experience when it comes to handling situations. Especially in a life and death match like this, they all seem a bit nervous. This is why they're not performing well. "
"If they don't handle this well, Excellent Era won't have a good time in the team competition either." Pan Lin said.
"It's time to look at Excellent Era's last player. They need a shot of confidence." Li Yibo said.
"Yes, Excellent Era's last player has already entered the match. He's the current captain of Excellent Era, Qiu Fei. But he's actually not that old. According to the data, he's only 17 years old." Pan Lin said.
"But he really is a very talented player. I heard that Micrograss tried to recruit him last year, but he rejected them." Li Yibo said.
"It seems like he's a player who has a lot of feelings for Excellent Era. But just having feelings isn't enough. We all know that in the end, what's most important in the Pro League is skill. "Pan Lin said.
"Qiu Fei is going 1v2. Let's see what he can do!" Li Yibo said.
The two teams set out and met in the center of the map.
"Beautiful!" After a few moves, Pan Lin cheered. Qiu Fei's Combat Form had already seized the initiative and was attacking fiercely.
"What a solid foundation!" Li Yibo exclaimed.
"His opponent doesn't seem to be able to resist at all." Pan Lin said.
"This Qiu Fei, I remember that in the finals of the Challenger League last year, he had a combo that even Ye Xiu couldn't do anything about." Li Yibo said.
"That's the peak of what's theoretically possible. If even Ye Xiu couldn't do anything about it," Pan Lin said.
"It seems like Mysterious Fantasy is in trouble." Li Yibo's predictions were quite bold in this type of match. After all, he could see through the skill level of the players.
The result was as he expected. Qiu Fei won.
"Combat Form still has 68% of his health! He still has the ability to fight. Qiu Fei is a pretty good player. "Pan Lin said.
"But the next player is Mysterious Fantasy's captain, Tang Xing. He's pretty good too." Li Yibo said.
"If Qiu Fei wins a 1v2 here, it'll be a huge blow to Mysterious Fantasy's morale. Let's see how Tang Xing performs!" Pan Lin said.
But …
"He won. Qiu Fei won again. Excellent Era had the last laugh in the Challenger League. They now have a one point lead. This isn't easy. Excellent Era has a reliable captain! Even though he's only a seventeen year old. "Pan Lin exclaimed.
"Yes. Even though it's only a one point lead, a complete reversal at this time is a huge blow to Mysterious Fantasy's morale. I hope they won't be discouraged in the following team competition. They'll be more spirited." Li Yibo said.
"No one will easily concede victory!"
"But there can only be one champion."
Challenger League, final victor: Excellent Era.
"We're back!" In the post-match press conference, Excellent Era's new captain, Qiu Fei, faced the camera and announced solemnly.
