Team Hundred Blossoms, already at the edge of the cliff with nowhere to retreat, finally displayed astonishing battle prowess in the group arena. Among them, the Assassin player Zhou Guangyi was the most noteworthy. Zhou Guangyi, who had come to Hundred Blossoms from Tyranny, played exceptionally well, almost winning a 1v2. With such a beautiful start, the next two players didn't let it go to waste. In the group arena, Team Hundred Blossoms finally obtained a precious 2 points, finally stabilizing their footing on the edge of the cliff.
However, the news from the other matches made Hundred Blossoms' situation even worse.
301 Degrees entered the team competition with a 5-0 lead. Right now, they were ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 2 points. Winning the following team competition didn't seem to be a problem for 301 Degrees. This time, 301 Degrees obtained a full 10 points.
In the match between Thunder and Samsara, Thunder, who had obtained 2 points in the individual competition, was met with a strong counterattack from Samsara. Right now, the score was 2-3. However, Thunder was still ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 7 points. Even if they lost the following team competition, Hundred Blossoms wouldn't be able to surpass Tyranny.
The other match was the one that Hundred Blossoms had placed their hopes on the most. Wind Howl was only ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 3 points. Hundred Blossoms obviously hoped that this gap wouldn't widen, or even that they would directly overtake them. However, Happy, who had won the first round of the individual competition, received even more backlash than Thunder. Wind Howl won match after match, and in the end, the individual competition ended with a 1-4. Happy 1, Thunder 4.
Happy was ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 7 points, while Thunder was ahead of Hundred Blossoms by 5 points. No matter how the final result of these two teams was, Hundred Blossoms wouldn't be able to surpass either team. The outcome of this round had already been decided in advance after the first half of the match. Ninth. They could only be ninth. There was no chance of them entering the top eight. The final round would be their final chance, an away game against Samsara. It was the most difficult opportunity. And to obtain this opportunity, they had to defeat Tyranny in this round's team competition.
It hadn't been easy for them to recover 2 points in the group arena, but they received such unfavorable news from the other matches. Just like that, Hundred Blossoms' morale plummeted.
"It's simple now." However, their captain, Yu Feng, relaxed. "That's the only way. There's no other choice. Let us go on with all our might! Don't leave any regrets for yourself. "
Don't leave yourself with any regrets!
As the members of Hundred Blossoms thought of this, their gazes gradually grew resolute. They needed this victory more than anything else, so they should be even more fearless on this field. Who cared who their opponent was?
"Hundred Blossoms' current situation isn't looking good. No matter how this round goes, they'll definitely be in ninth place," Pan Lin and Li Yibo, who were doing a live broadcast, took advantage of the break to discuss the current situation.
"That's true, but in the final round, Hundred Blossoms still has a chance. The prerequisite is that they win the following team competition, "Li Yibo said.
"Yes, if Hundred Blossoms wins the team competition, they'll have 237 points." Pan Lin looked at the points and did the math. "If Thunder loses to Samsara in the team competition, they'll only have 239 points, two points ahead of Hundred Blossoms. If 301 Degrees defeats Seaside in the team competition and gets 10 points, they'll also have 239 points, two points ahead of Hundred Blossoms. Also, in the match we're broadcasting right now, between Wind Howl and Happy, if Wind Howl wins the team competition, Happy will only have a two-point lead over Hundred Blossoms. If Happy wins, Wind Howl and Hundred Blossoms will have the same number of points. Hundred Blossoms' chances are very clear. "
"In the match we're broadcasting right now, between Wind Howl and Happy, no matter what, one team will be left behind and become a target for Hundred Blossoms to catch up to," Li Yibo said.
"I'm sure they've already found out the scores of the other matches during the break. They're very clear on the current situation," Pan Lin said.
"In this team competition, both sides will be under a lot of pressure. However, if they lose, they'll have to bear even more pressure in the next round. Wind Howl will be playing Micrograss in the last round, while Happy will be playing 301 Degrees. Neither of them will be easy to deal with, "Li Yibo said.
"Right now, Wind Howl has gained four points in the individual competition. Their morale is high, and they have the home field advantage. On the other hand, Happy has lost four points in a row after a good start. They need to get their spirits back up! "Pan Lin said.
"Yes. Even though these two teams are in a much better situation than Hundred Blossoms, they're still not far from the cliff. Whoever loses will have to take a few steps closer to the cliff, while Hundred Blossoms is struggling with all their might. Who knows, maybe Hundred Blossoms will suddenly come in, and one of them will go out, "Li Yibo said as he gestured with his two fists on the edge of the table.
"Let's wait and see which team will be able to maintain their composure at this moment!" Pan Lin said.
"Yes, the team competition is about to begin," Li Yibo said.
"Let's return to the scene," Pan Lin said. The camera cut back from the commentary booth to the scene of the match. The camera looked down at the player benches of the two teams. The players of the two teams were gathered together, clearly preparing for the crucial battle.
On the field, the referee walked to the side of the stage and gestured for the two teams to get ready for the match. The big screen in the stadium displayed the names of the two teams' players for the team competition, grid by grid.
"F * ck!" Pan Lin suddenly cried out. He hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was already too late. For an entire season, Pan Lin had been walking on a knife's edge. He had worked very hard to overcome the urge to curse again and again. Unfortunately, in the second to last round of the regular season, Pan Lin's golden body was broken. He finally couldn't control himself and cursed, and it instantly reached the ears of thousands of people. It was as if he could already see his monthly bonus spinning out of his pocket.
"Happy is really too daring!" Li Yibo was really quite a good friend. He knew that Pan Lin's curse wasn't appropriate, so he hurriedly followed up and covered it up if he could.
"Yeah …" Pan Lin couldn't find the right state for a while because of his mistake.
"In such a crucial match, Ye Xiu is still not going to play in the team competition?" Li Yibo continued to look at the close-up of the lineup in shock.
Team Happy: Fang Rui, Su Mucheng, Tang Rou, Luo Ji, An Wenyi, Mo Fan.
Not only was Ye Xiu not going to play, Luo Ji, a rookie who had only played a few rounds, was actually added to the roster for the team competition in such an important match.
"What is Happy thinking!" Pan Lin was going crazy.
"Did something really happen to Ye Xiu?" Li Yibo couldn't help but guess. Even if Ye Xiu continued to maintain his record in the individual competition, he had already rested for four rounds in the team competition. Under normal circumstances, no one would think that this was a rotation. They would probably think that this player had been eliminated from the main roster.
But how could Happy have eliminated Ye Xiu?
"Did he suffer some kind of injury that prevents him from playing for a long time? Like Sun Zheping? "Pan Lin said. Sun Zheping was currently in Team Heavenly Swords, but he only played in the individual competition. It wasn't a secret that he couldn't play in matches because of his old hand injury. Ye Xiu only played in the individual competition for four rounds in a row. His situation was quite similar to Sun Zheping's!
No matter if it was a break or a feint, Ye Xiu not going up in such a crucial match didn't make sense.
But no matter how surprised everyone was, Happy could only go up on stage with these six players. Right now, they were in two rows with Wind Howl's six players, admiring Wind Howl's six players' shocked expressions. Clearly, no one had expected Ye Xiu not to go up this round, not even Wind Howl.
After shaking hands and greeting each other, the two sides walked towards their respective player booths. On the way, Wind Howl's players looked back suspiciously, as if Ye Xiu had disguised himself and mixed in with those six players to catch them off guard.
"Don't worry about our opponents. It doesn't matter to us. Man to man, same as always," Captain Tang Hao said to everyone.
"Okay." Wind Howl's players nodded, but their vice-captain Liu Hao was currently looking down at Happy's player booths, looking at Ye Xiu.
Being so easily beaten down by Ye Xiu in the individual competition, Liu Hao was on the verge of collapse. But he was too good at hiding his emotions. After coming out of the player booths, he had an undefeatable expression on his face, apologizing to his teammates and cheering for his next teammate. No one could say anything to him.
Only he himself knew that he wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface.
He was about to go crazy. He couldn't accept the fact that he had been so easily beaten by Ye Xiu.
He wanted revenge. He wanted revenge crazily.
The opportunity was right in front of him. Team competition. Team competition. Team competition. And in the team competition, Wind Howl's man to man, Liu Hao's target really was Ye Xiu.
Liu Hao gritted his teeth, waiting for this moment. But in the end, Ye Xiu didn't go up.
In such a crucial, important match, Ye Xiu actually didn't plan on going up in the team competition.
The energy that Liu Hao had been saving up for the entire first half of the match was instantly turned into frustration.
He anxiously wanted to beat down Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu didn't care about him at all. When he needed to go up, he went up. When he wanted to rest, he didn't. Because of Liu Hao's existence, did he have to come up for the team competition? Unfortunately, Liu Hao didn't have the right to do so. He didn't even think about it.
Ye Xiu wasn't going up, so Liu Hao switched targets. His opponent was Luo Ji.
This was a natural switch after Ye Xiu wasn't going up. Wind Howl didn't have any intention of having everyone rearrange themselves. But Liu Hao wasn't in a good mood right now. He was instantly furious at the target he needed to target.
It was actually that noob?
Liu Hao felt like he was being looked down upon. Even though he knew in his heart that this wasn't the case, that this was just a natural switch, he still couldn't shake off the feeling of being looked down upon.
"Take them down!" Captain Tang Hao roared.
"Oh oh oh!" The team members replied.
The match began.
