After all, Happy would only be able to face Tyranny after this round. It was too early to worry about it. Happy's top priority was to focus on the match against Blue Rain.
In the past week or so, apart from getting used to his new equipment, he had been actively preparing for Team Blue Rain's match. He didn't need to think about anything else. He only had this one opponent in his eyes. And now, it was time to bring all of this onto the field.
In the regular season, Happy had faced Blue Rain twice, losing 1-9 and 2-8. They had lost quite miserably. How could Happy defeat Blue Rain this time? Today's Esports Home was analyzing this problem. The Esports Home had two sections every day. One was the match that had just ended the night before, and the other was the match that was about to begin tonight. The content was detailed and substantial, and the players loved to read it. However, it was a busy day for the media and news workers.
From the online support for this match, Blue Rain had a clear advantage. They had 73% of the support, while Happy only had 27%.
However, Happy wasn't afraid of these numbers. When they faced Excellent Era in the Challenger League, the support they had received was even more pitiful, but so what? If the votes could really represent the results, then what was the point of playing the match? Just give out the awards after the votes were cast.
On the day of the match, there wouldn't be any heavy training. However, they couldn't let the players not touch their computers for an entire day. They had to wait until the match started before warming up.
That afternoon, Happy's teammates all went to Happy's practice room. They all sat in front of a computer and played Glory. Some played more seriously, while others played more casually. Ye Xiu didn't need to teach them anymore. Warming up before a match was something that needed to be done in the regular season. After a season, it was up to each of them to warm up their hands in whatever way they liked to do.
He calmly adjusted his state of mind while watching the time pass by.
At around five o 'clock, Chen Guo came over to greet everyone for dinner. Dinner was usually eaten a little earlier on competition days. There were only three and a half hours left before the official start of the competition, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Chen Guo started to feel full after eating a few mouthfuls, so she continued to put on an act. In contrast, the other contestants seemed to be more relaxed than her.
After the meal, everyone was free to do whatever they wanted. Around seven o 'clock, everyone consciously gathered together. It was time to go on stage.
They left Happy Internet Café through the back door, crossed the road, and entered the stadium through the players' tunnel.
Happy had been on this path for an entire season, and he had never been as serious as this time. It was as if every step from now on would affect the outcome of the match.
The preparation room had already been prepared. The air conditioner had been turned on for a long time, and the temperature in the room was very comfortable. After everyone entered, they found a place to sit down and remained silent.
It was too depressing!
Chen Guo felt a deep sense of oppression. At a time like this, she really should say something! Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu, then at Wei Chen. These two were seniors among seniors. They usually took care to adjust the atmosphere of the team, so why weren't they saying anything today? Was it because they were also deeply suppressed by this atmosphere?
Should I do it?
What should I say?
Cheer on? Relax?
There was no point in repeating these slogans! If I had known, I would have prepared a few lame jokes. Who knows, they might have had a miraculous effect at this time.
Chen Guo's thoughts ran wild, but she still didn't know what to say. Finally, Ye Xiu spoke.
"You haven't forgotten your strategy, right? Do you need me to repeat it? "Ye Xiu said.
Everyone looked at each other and silently shook their heads. No one said anything.
"Yeah, the key is in improvisation. We have a huge advantage in this aspect. When it comes to typing, I'm confident that I'm better than Yu Wenzhou," Ye Xiu said.
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed dryly.
"As a pro player, Yu Wenzhou's hand speed isn't even up to par, but he was able to become an All-Star. Do you know why?" Ye Xiu said.
Everyone shook their heads. To be honest, no one was in the mood to guess anything at this time.
"Playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses," Ye Xiu said.
"Isn't that obvious?" Ye Xiu laughed. "But it's the truth. In this Alliance, no one is better at this kind of thing than him. This is Yu Wenzhou's style, and also Team Blue Rain's tactical style. Ever since their irreplaceable soul, former captain Wei Chen, retired, Blue Rain has been on the road to greatness … "
"Get lost!" Wei Chen had to speak this time.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed again. This time, it wasn't as forced as last time.
"Since our opponent this time is Blue Rain, I would like to urge everyone to learn from Comrade Yu Wenzhou. Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Fiercely unleash your strengths on this stage. If you can do this, then you won't have any regrets. As for your weaknesses, don't worry too much. Everyone has their weaknesses, which is why we formed a team. What one person lacks, the other four will make up for. This is what you call a team. "
"Everyone needs to guard each other's backs, so everyone's backs will be guarded. Don't worry and boldly charge forward!"
"Happy, it's time to go on stage."
As soon as Ye Xiu finished speaking, someone knocked on the door to Happy's prep room, telling them to go on stage.
"Go on stage!" Ye Xiu called out to everyone. Everyone stood up and walked out of the prep room. Across from them, Team Blue Rain's players were also walking out of their rooms.
The two teams stood in two lines in the passageway. The captains of the two teams stood at the very front. Ye Xiu had just started his speech from Yu Wenzhou. Happy's players couldn't help but look at Team Blue Rain's captain, whose hand speed wasn't up to par.
"Have you guessed what our big move is?" Ye Xiu asked Yu Wenzhou from the front line.
"Nope." Yu Wenzhou laughed. He didn't even bother guessing.
"I'm not afraid to tell you now," Ye Xiu said.
"I've been waiting for this moment," Yu Wenzhou said.
"It's equipment," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, your Myriad Manifestations Umbrella isn't holding everyone back anymore?" Yu Wenzhou said. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had been at Level 70 for an entire season. Let alone the core characters, any character with a Silver weapon would have their weapon upgraded first. Most of them had already reached Level 75. For weapons, Level 70 was already a number that was close to extinction.
"Haha, I should be the one saying not to hold me back," Ye Xiu laughed.
"Will you die if you don't brag?" The person behind Yu Wenzhou couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey, how long were we talking? He actually lasted until now before interrupting. That wasn't easy, was it? "Ye Xiu said to Yu Wenzhou in surprise.
"Hahaha …" Yu Wenzhou could only laugh. What else could he say!
"When you see it later, don't cry," Ye Xiu said to Huang Shaotian.
"Don't cry when you lose," Huang Shaotian said.
"How could I lose?" Ye Xiu said proudly.
"Aren't you ashamed? You've already lost twice. "Huang Shaotian was talking about the regular season.
"I didn't lose." At this moment, Ye Xiu abandoned the team that he always talked about. Individually, of course he didn't lose. He had won 37 rounds in a row!
"That's because you got lucky." Huang Shaotian of course still refused to admit it.
"Why don't you show me your luck? I only won 37 matches in a row. I purposely saved one match for you to break! "Ye Xiu said.
"…" No matter how stubborn Huang Shaotian was, he didn't dare to reply. Fortunately, the people in front had already signaled for the two teams to enter the arena.
"Let's go." The away team entered first. Yu Wenzhou didn't forget to greet Ye Xiu, then strode in.
This wasn't their home stadium. It was already good enough to get some polite applause. Screams and whatnot, even if they were made by their own fans, would definitely be suppressed by the home fans. How could they tolerate someone from the away team behaving atrociously in their own territory?
Swoksaar's holographic projection appeared on the stage, and he did a few random moves. Of course, he didn't care about the away team's character. It was good enough that he didn't curse. The live broadcast only gave a few simple introductions to Yu Wenzhou, and then began to call for the next player.
Huang Shaotian immediately went on stage. His treatment wasn't much different from Yu Wenzhou's. This sort of thing was commonplace. It happened in every home stadium. Blue Rain's players had seen the world, so of course they wouldn't treat this as a big deal. The players went on stage one by one according to the rhythm and went on stage. Then, it was Happy's turn to go on stage. The atmosphere was suddenly different. The instant Ye Xiu walked out of the tunnel, screams and shouts filled the entire stadium.
Lord Grim displayed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's many transformations on stage. Ye Xiu waved to the audience. Compared to Blue Rain's players, the amount of time they used to go on stage was different. The live introduction didn't even need to be said. It was as if he couldn't use the most concise way to describe all of his glorious achievements.
Happy's players went on stage one by one. Then, the two sides shook hands before the match and went off stage. In the end, there were only two people left. This was undoubtedly because the first player in the group arena couldn't be bothered to go on stage again.
"Ye Xiu, it's Ye Xiu!" Pan Lin was already shouting excitedly.
Ye Xiu was actually Happy's first player in the group arena. Now that it was the playoffs, would he still insist on being the first player to go on stage? Before the match, almost no one had expected this arrangement. Ye Xiu was an existence with incomparable strength. Everyone had very formally placed him as the fourth player.
But now, he was the first player to go on stage!
And on Blue Rain's side, the first player to go on stage was Qi Master Song Xiao! Their Mister Key was placed in the first place of the single-elimination tournament. What kind of plans and expectations did they have for him?
After the two greeted each other again, they each went to their respective team's player booths.
"Happy actually sent Ye Xiu as the first player in the group arena. This is too unexpected. Coach Li, what do you think?" Pan Lin said.
"Uh, I think it's probably to boost Happy's morale! Happy has a lot of rookies. It's their first time in the playoffs, so there's definitely a lot of pressure. Ye Xiu going up first will boost morale and lessen the burden on the people behind him. I think this is Happy's plan. "Li Yibo braced himself and guessed.

I actually wrote this chapter until now … The nervousness before the match even made me feel stifled. I can't finish the second chapter, so I'll write the last one! (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
