The players from Team Wind Howl and Team Happy had already come out of their player booths. The big screen in the stadium showed the final score. The players on both sides followed the normal procedure after the match, greeting the audience and their opponents.
Everyone in Wind Howl had numb expressions, mechanically shaking hands with the players from Happy. Polite words like "You played well", "Keep up the good work", "Congratulations", and so on were all omitted. These were just formalities. No one cared if they were said or not.
Their formation was quite neat. With Tang Hao at the head, they were lined up in order. In second place was vice-captain Liu Hao. Soon, he saw Su Mucheng walk in front of him, his face full of resentment.
Su Mucheng was in a good mood, looking at him with a smile.
Liu Hao snorted coldly, ignoring her. He only subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to quickly shake her hand and be done with it. But Su Mucheng didn't reach out her hand to take it.
"You played well," Su Mucheng said with a smile.
"You …" Liu Hao was furious. In this match, anyone could be said to have played well. Tang Hao, Zhao Yuzhe, even Lin Feng. They had all fought hard. Even though they had lost, they had all displayed their skill level. Only Liu Hao couldn't.
After being beaten by Su Mucheng, destroying Wind Howl's chance at victory, he was definitely the most disappointing player of this match. If there was a vote for the worst player of the match, Liu Hao would definitely win without a doubt. But now, Su Mucheng had said "you played well" to him. It was truly a matter of irony.
Liu Hao was guilty. He didn't have the strength to argue with her. He just hoped to get through this quickly. But Su Mucheng still didn't reach out her hand to shake his.
"I'm not like a certain someone who can't bear to waste time worrying about the dirty things you've done. I mind it very much." Su Mucheng was still smiling, but after throwing down this sentence, she didn't shake Liu Hao's hand and walked past him.
Liu Hao was stunned.
Grasping the match point, attacking resolutely, attacking with full force, perfect performance …
It can't be!
This woman was simply taking revenge. She was just looking for an opportunity to vent her anger on him.
Bastard!
Liu Hao clenched his left hand into a fist and reached out his right hand, which was ignored by Su Mucheng. However, it was as if he had forgotten about himself and was frozen outside.
Happy Su Mucheng was followed by Mo Fan. He completely ignored Liu Hao's condition as he walked past the crowd. When he saw someone stretching his arm, he simply reached his hand out and shook it.
"Not bad," he said.
What?
These words were like a thunderclap, directly waking up Liu Hao.
Even you are humiliating me?
Liu Hao was infuriated, but Mo Fan had already flown past him as soon as he finished his sentence.
"Not bad."
"Not bad."
"Not bad."
He mechanically shook hands with Wind Howl's people and said this to each and every one of them. This was what he had learned to do after a match. There was no flexibility, and he did this to every opponent. But at this moment, for Liu Hao, it became Su Mucheng's finishing blow.
Liu Hao felt like he could no longer stand.
The mocking voice of "Not bad" seemed to echo throughout the stadium. He seemed to see the entire stadium, Wind Howl's teammates, and the reporters and critics of the major media outlets smiling at him and saying: Not bad.
The world spun.
Liu Hao suddenly collapsed.
The stadium was in chaos, and the players still on stage were flustered, not knowing what to do. The staff members in the stadium rushed onto the stage and carried Liu Hao off, quickly finding someone to treat him. The post-match greetings between the two teams ended in such a hasty manner.
But the post-match press conference still had to go on as usual. Liu Hao suddenly became a hot topic, but it wasn't just because he fainted after the match. As the biggest flaw in Wind Howl's loss, this press conference would be very difficult for him to endure. Some of the reporters even suspected that this guy's post-match fainting wasn't just an act, right? Of course, they were too embarrassed to directly ask their doubts. That would be too inhumane. What if he really did faint?
As a result, the press conference started with a fake show of concern. After receiving the reply that Liu Hao was fine, they naturally threw out the question of "What do you think of Liu Hao's performance this round?"
In this round, Liu Hao had been defeated by Ye Xiu in the individual competition, and had been crushed by Su Mucheng in the team competition, directly leading to Wind Howl's loss in the team competition. He was the biggest culprit behind Wind Howl's loss of six points. Most teams would defend the players who performed poorly, even if it was just for show. But Wind Howl's captain, Tang Hao, wasn't like this. He very frankly described Liu Hao's performance today as a "disaster."
What a pity.
Everyone was thinking about this. It wasn't that they felt pity for Liu Hao's disappointing performance, but rather that Tang Hao had given a reply that was different from that of a normal team. However, Liu Hao wasn't present. Otherwise, would there have been some sort of spark?
But this kind of merciless criticism was quite rare. The reporters were more excited as they tried to figure out how to write this article.
At this moment, the results of the other matches had already come out.
301's match was the first to end. In the end, they won 10-0 against Seaside, leading Wind Howl by two points with 239 points, falling behind Happy by five points.
Team Hundred Blossoms had withstood the pressure at this crucial moment. After being beaten 3-0 by Tyranny in the individual competition, Hundred Blossoms managed to catch up, winning the group arena and team competition one after another. The final score was 7-3, with 237 points, the same as Wind Howl. But because they didn't have as many points as Wind Howl, they were still in ninth place for now. But at least they had left their hopes for the final round. Hundred Blossoms' fans were extremely excited. Their team's tenacious and unyielding fighting spirit made them feel deeply proud. They firmly believed that this kind of team would definitely be able to fight until the very end and obtain a satisfactory result.
Apart from that, Team Thunder also defeated Samsara in the team competition, 7-3. Team Thunder currently had 244 points, the same as Happy. Because they didn't have as many points as Happy, they were currently in sixth place on the leaderboards. But in the final round, Team Thunder had an away game against Miracle. In terms of opponents, the final round was the easiest, so most people believed that Team Thunder had already entered the playoffs. The fans at Thunderclap's home stadium were much happier than at Hundred Blossoms' home stadium.
After seeing the final results of the other matches, Pan Lin and Li Yibo were still eagerly waiting for the final statistics of Wind Howl and Happy's match.
Finally, the final statistics were released. In the end, the MVP award for this match was given to Luo Ji. The official commentary fully acknowledged his outstanding performance and important role in this match.
"As expected of Coach Li." Pan Lin, who had lost the bet, couldn't help but feel regret.
"Haha, I'll need you to pay for it," Li Yibo said.
"I know a place that's pretty good. Let's go!" Pan Lin was a straightforward person.
"Is it Big Chicken for supper?" Li Yibo said.
"Let's go, let's go!" Pan Lin called out. The match broadcast ended with these two's digression. The 30th round of the tenth season of the Pro Alliance had concluded. Apart from these five fiercely competitive teams, the other teams were also carefully and conscientiously playing their matches well.
The biggest change on the leaderboards was that 301 had returned to the top eight after defeating Seaside, while Hundred Blossoms had been pushed down to ninth. The eight teams in the playoffs would have to be decided in the final round.
In addition, Team Blue Rain had defeated Void 8-2, surpassing Tyranny on the leaderboards and charging into second place. This competition for rankings would affect the final playoff matchups, so there were quite a few people paying attention to it.
In Wind Howl's post-match press conference, Liu Hao received direct criticism from his captain. Happy afterwards, Luo Ji attended the press conference for the first time. He was surrounded by reporters, asking him questions until he was dizzy and disoriented. He pitifully hoped that a senior would save him, but no one paid him any attention. Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng were calmly chatting with each other!
"You knocked Liu Hao unconscious. You're too savage," Ye Xiu said.
"I can't help but get angry when I see him," Su Mucheng said.
"Calm down!" Ye Xiu said.
"We won't meet him again," Su Mucheng said.
"Who knows? There's still one more round!" Ye Xiu said.
"God Ye, can you tell us why you made such a bold move against Wind Howl this round?" At this moment, a reporter felt that Su Mucheng had too much time on her hands, snacking on melon seeds, and finally rushed over to interrupt the two's conversation.
"Hm? Bold? "Ye Xiu immediately straightened his posture and answered the question." I don't think so. Wind Howl's extreme tactics can be used for a while, but they can't be used for a lifetime. To be able to achieve such a beautiful result in so many rounds is already pretty good luck. If they really think they can rely on such tactics to become invincible, they're underestimating everyone. "
"So you're saying that you don't think highly of Wind Howl?" the reporter asked.
"Who's Wind Howl up against in the final round?" Ye Xiu asked.
"It's Micrograss," the reporter replied.
"Oh, if Wang Jiexi is going to be defeated by such tactics, I don't think he should force himself to retire," Ye Xiu said.
"Uh … this …" The reporter was embarrassed. He didn't know how to continue.
"Didn't you just say that the final round isn't certain?" Su Mucheng said.
"The rankings aren't certain, but that doesn't mean Wind Howl can win!" Ye Xiu said to Su Mucheng.
"Can you talk about Su Mucheng's performance today?" the reporter asked again.
"She accurately grasped the match point, decisively attacked, and performed perfectly," Ye Xiu said seriously.
"Then what do you think of Luo Ji's performance?" the reporter asked again.
"We were able to win thanks to the foundation he laid," Ye Xiu said.
"Then will Luo Ji appear in the playoffs?" the reporter asked.
"That's a secret. We can't announce it ahead of time," Ye Xiu said.
"Then, can we ask who Happy hopes to face in the first round of the playoffs?" the reporter asked.
"The season isn't over yet. Happy isn't a hundred percent guaranteed to enter the playoffs. Answering this question now is too rude," Ye Xiu said seriously.
The reporter was speechless. F * ck, who was the person who announced that he would be the champion of Season 10 right after winning the Challenger League?! Was it you? Was it you?
