After the first match of the playoffs ended, an overwhelming number of comments praised Samsara's championship performance. As for Hundred Blossoms, there weren't many flaws worthy of criticism, but because of this, Samsara seemed even stronger.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day. Before they could fully digest the first match, the second match of the playoffs was about to begin. 301 Degrees would welcome Team Tyranny in their home stadium. Tyranny had deliberately held back in the regular season. How would they explode in the playoffs? Everyone had this kind of curiosity, which made this competition much more interesting.
However, Team Happy's attention to this match wasn't just to satisfy their curiosity. According to the Alliance's playoff schedule, if Happy eliminated Blue Rain and entered the semifinals, their opponent would be the winner between Tyranny and 301 Degrees. They would definitely meet one of these two teams, if everything went smoothly.
But that night, Team Happy still didn't watch the match. They didn't watch this match, nor did they watch the previous match with a recording.
The next day would be Happy's match. Happy's practice this entire day was a regulation type. After dinner, they were free to do as they pleased. Everyone could use their own methods to relieve the pressure before this life and death battle.
In the meeting room, Chen Guo once again set up the projection screen to watch the match. As usual, Wu Chen and Guan Rongfei came over.
After the players came out, the match was about to begin. Chen Guo was a bit absent-minded.
What were the others doing?
Chen Guo really wanted to know. After dinner, everyone went their separate ways. They didn't tell each other what they were going to do. Chen Guo was curious, but in the end, she didn't disturb them. But to be honest, she was still a bit expectant. She was looking forward to seeing which player would be with her. Because she was actually very nervous as well! And what she hoped for was that there would be a player who could do something with everyone.
"Has it started yet?" At this moment, Ye Xiu's voice suddenly rang out.
"Hm?" Chen Guo turned her head and saw Ye Xiu walk in through the door.
"You want to watch?" Chen Guo was surprised.
"Yeah, I don't have anything to do. Let's take a look," Ye Xiu said as he casually found a seat and sat down.
Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu and thought to herself, That's right! Why would this guy need any other way to relieve the pressure before the match? To him, all of this should be as simple as eating and sleeping, right? Just live your life as you should.
"It's about to begin." Chen Guo said. Ye Xiu did not feel any pressure, but Chen Guo was very nervous. But after Ye Xiu came over and watched the competition together, Chen Guo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"These guys still know how to conserve their strength. I'd like to see how they fight," Ye Xiu mumbled.
"Mm..." Chen Guo responded. Of course, he knew who Ye Xiu was referring to by "these guys."
The competition began.
Tyranny sent out their first player, Lin Jingyan. 301 sent out Li Yihui.
They were both Fighters, but the final victor was Li Yihui, who had a slight advantage over Ye Ci.
Then, Tyranny sent out their second player, Song Qiying. After eliminating Li Yihui, who was at low health, he defeated 301's second player, Gao Jie.
"This kid will have a bright future," Ye Xiu commented on Song Qiying. Although he lost to Tang Rou in the Best Rookie Selection. But in a team like Tyranny, rookies could not have as many opportunities to compete as Tang Rou. If it weren't for the fact that Tyranny's three veterans were rotating, Song Qiying might have had even fewer opportunities to compete.
If Song Qiying had a chance like Tang Rou, or if he had been used by Tyranny like Lu Hanwen last season, he might have been able to threaten Tang Rou in the Best Rookie Selection. His personality was very similar to Zhang Xinjie's. Although he was young, his performance on stage gave off a very reliable feeling.
However, after defeating Gao Jie, Song Qiying was quickly sent off by 301's third player, Qian Wenju. Then, Tyranny's Zhang Jiale went on stage and defeated Qian Wenju. Then 301's Yang Cong went on stage, but in the end, he was also defeated by Zhang Jiale's dazzling Hundred Flowers.
"This guy is in pretty good shape today!" Ye Xiu said. Zhang Jiale's Qian Wenju had quite a bit of health, and then he defeated Yang Cong's full health Scene Killer. It was pretty much a 1v2. But then, 301's defender, Bai Shu, went on stage. At this time, Tyranny still had three people, and their advantage was clear. Zhang Jiale also played very casually. In the end, he didn't complete the 1v3, but he responsibly left Bai Shu for the next player. Tyranny's fourth player was their captain, Han Wenqing. In the end, Bai Shu's Tide fell under Desert Dust's hammer.
"They're all very energetic!" Ye Xiu shouted after seeing that Tyranny had already taken a 5-3 lead in the group arena.
Then, in the team competition, Team Tyranny finally showed that their rhythm was different from the regular season. In the regular season, even if they stopped rotating towards the end, and the veterans gathered together like now, it was completely for the sake of maintaining their condition for the playoffs. They were worried that if they always rotated and didn't let the three of them go on stage at the same time, their coordination would become rusty.
Reality proved that for these veterans, this kind of worry was a bit too cautious. These experienced guys were like bicycles. No matter how long it had been since they rode, once they started, they could quickly grasp it.
Tyranny's veterans had appeared together for about three-quarters of the matches, but once they began to adjust their condition, they quickly found a tacit understanding. They didn't need to spend any more time to get used to each other.
They continued to suppress their excitement and conserve their energy, waiting for the playoffs to unleash their full potential.
And now, it was time.
After enduring for an entire season, and hearing too many rumors about how "these guys can't do it anymore", Tyranny finally stopped holding back when they entered the playoffs. In the face of all these rumors, they gave a strong counterattack. Of course, they didn't make a move because of this. This was the rhythm that Tyranny had been preparing for this season.
6-2.
The final score of the team competition was overwhelming. 301 had only practiced their tactics for half a season, and after losing their sense of novelty, they didn't have the slightest advantage against the most experienced team in the entire Alliance.
The overall score was 11-5. This difference in victory was a bit large, and this was 301's home game …
Hundred Blossoms, 301, they had worked so hard to get into the playoffs, but in the end, they had already lost their home game in the first round.
Some people were happy, some people were crying. This was the result of the match.
"It looks like Tyranny is going to win," Ye Xiu said. 11-5. This was a huge advantage. 301 wanted to go to Tyranny's home game to make a comeback, but there weren't many people who thought they would win.
"Alright, let's go back and rest!" Ye Xiu stood up and announced. His tone sounded like he was going to war. Perhaps in his mind, tonight's rest was a very important part of tomorrow's match.
They walked out of the meeting room one after the other. When they reached the door of the practice room, they saw that there was a light inside. Ye Xiu casually pushed the door open and saw that Mo Fan was still in the practice room.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Video." Mo Fan finally stopped completely ignoring what others said to him. If it was a question, he would at least answer it.
"Oh?" Ye Xiu walked forward. At this time, Chen Guo also came in. The two of them went forward to look, and then they saw...
"They're all videos of Blue Rain's players!" Ye Xiu could tell that Mo Fan was looking at the performances of Blue Rain's players in the group arena. Happy obviously had all the recordings of these matches, and he had also organized them. He had picked out the most valuable matches from the Guild and compiled them for research on Blue Rain. Mo Fan was looking at the performances of Team Blue Rain in the 1v1 matches of the regular season.
Tomorrow, Mo Fan was going to appear in the group arena. Ye Xiu didn't have the habit of waiting until the last match to announce the lineup. He usually announced it the day before the match.
The lineup for Blue Rain had already been announced this morning. Mo Fan would be the second player in the group arena. It was already the night before the match. Everyone was relaxing and adjusting, but Mo Fan was still stubbornly studying Team Blue Rain's information.
"Rest early!" Chen Guo was quite moved, and sincerely reminded him.
Mo Fan didn't reply. He only nodded, and then continued to carefully watch the videos. The others saw that there was no possibility of chatting with Mo Fan, so they didn't say anything else and left first.
Downstairs, the match had ended. Happy Internet Cafe's broadcast should have ended, but it seemed to be even more lively than when the match had started. Ye Xiu and the others looked down from the stairs. It turned out that their three players, Qiao Yifan, Luo Ji, and An Wenyi, were being enthusiastically surrounded.
"What's going on?" Chen Guo hurriedly ran down to ask the manager.
It turned out that these three youngsters had secretly snuck into the crowd of players to watch and discuss the match. In the end, when the crowd was leaving, they were accidentally discovered and recognized. The players who came to Happy Internet Cafe naturally had an attitude toward Team Happy. They decisively surrounded them and gave their blessings to the three youngsters.
"Hey, hey!" Chen Guo directly rushed to the front desk and turned on the Internet Cafe's broadcast.
"Quickly let our players go back to rest!" Chen Guo yelled.
"Ye Xiu!" In the end, everyone shouted even louder than Chen Guo. Ye Xiu didn't go through the back door. He directly came up the stairs from the Internet Cafe. Chen Guo's shout attracted everyone's attention, and they immediately discovered an even more exciting existence.
"Calm down!" Ye Xiu decisively rushed to the front desk and snatched the broadcast from Chen Guo's hands.
"Everyone calm down! If you want to cheer, you're all welcome to come to the venue tomorrow! "Ye Xiu yelled.
"Good luck! Good luck! "everyone shouted excitedly. In reality, everyone's impulsiveness was very restrained, because everyone knew that Happy's match was tomorrow. Who would dare to excessively disturb them at this time? If there really was a troublesome person, the players would first not agree, and then get rid of the evil for the sake of the people. Thus, Ye Xiu simply shouted a few times, and everyone understood and suppressed their enthusiasm. After the three youngsters escaped, they thanked everyone for their support and left with Ye Xiu.
On the way back to their residence, they saw two familiar figures squatting on the curb. One of them had a cigarette in the air, while the other was fiddling with what looked like a bicycle chain.
They quietly moved closer and listened to Wei Chen and Baozi talk about his past.
"Back then, I was the backbone of Team Blue Rain. I was an indispensable figure!" Wei Chen said with a face full of regret. (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.)
