The outcome of the match had been decided. But for a playoff match, Xiaoshan Stadium seemed a bit deserted. Too many people still hadn't recovered from the shock. This was Happy's home game, and Happy's instant reversal of the situation should have made them go completely crazy, but this method made them still reflect on it.
When the two teams finished their post-match exchanges and began to express their thanks to the audience, many people seemed to have awoken from a dream.
They won!
They had won. They had truly won.
Oh oh oh oh!
Cheers suddenly rang out. The audience's emotional climax was actually so late.
Sitting in front of the TV, Yu Wenzhou received a call. It was from Huang Shaotian, but when he picked up, all he heard was clamor, clearly coming from the stadium. Huang Shaotian was also reflecting on it, and only then did he wake up with the rest of the audience.
"So cool!!!" Yu Wenzhou heard Huang Shaotian's roaring voice.
"Haha." Yu Wenzhou laughed.
"How did you do it, huh?" Huang Shaotian continued to roar.
"Who knows?" Yu Wenzhou said.
Yeah! Who would know the answer to this question?
After greeting the audience, the two teams left the stadium and returned to the prep room. After a short break, the post-match press conference began.
The first to arrive was Team Tyranny, who had lost the match. Team captain Han Wenqing, vice-captain Zhang Xinjie, and Zhang Jiale were all present. As soon as they arrived, they saw that the reporters below all looked like they couldn't wait. Sure enough, as soon as the announcement was made, the first reporter to stand up and ask questions didn't even say the usual words of consolation for the losers, and directly asked for their thoughts on today's match.
It was a very formulaic question, but in today's match, everyone felt that this question was especially meaningful, and asked specifically.
"Very unexpected," Han Wenqing answered.
Just four words? The reporters were clearly very dissatisfied.
"Can you say a few more words?" Someone asked.
"Happy's arrangement in the team competition is indeed unprecedented. It's beyond our imagination. We've completely overlooked it." The one who spoke was Tyranny's vice-captain, Zhang Xinjie.
Although he was known for his error rate, it was impossible for him to make zero mistakes. Furthermore, he did not take this as his own label and was never ashamed to mention his mistakes. His actions in the team competition were categorized as an "oversight." However, even if he defined it as such, not many outsiders would think so. That scene had surprised the entire world of Glory. They couldn't blame Team Tyranny for not thinking of this beforehand.
Of course, the reporters did not pursue this point. Immediately after, one of them asked, "Will this loss affect Tyranny's upcoming matches?"
"I don't think so." Zhang Xinjie's tone was always so precise. "For such a large-scale and accurate plan, I think it will definitely require a lot of pre-match preparation. The next match will be Tyranny's home game. "
"Two matches." This time, it was Han Wenqing who added.
Zhang Xinjie smiled. Han Wenqing saying two matches was equivalent to announcing Tyranny's victory in the next match. This was obviously what Zhang Xinjie wanted as well. However, he clearly wouldn't make such a statement without confirming it. Moreover, he had to correct the loopholes in Han Wenqing's statement.
"The next match will be Tyranny's home game. If we win …"
"No ifs. We'll definitely win. The next match and the one after that." This time, Zhang Jiale heartlessly interrupted.
Zhang Xinjie was helpless. However, the reporters all looked at him. They clearly wanted to hear him finish his unfinished sentence. Zhang Xinjie did not emphasize his "if". Instead, he said, "If we go to the third match, Happy won't be able to deploy such a strategy on a randomly generated map. Therefore, we don't have to worry about today's situation in the next match."
Zhang Jiale pursed his lips. Clearly, he was not satisfied with Zhang Xinjie's use of "if" for the third match.
Zhang Xinjie's analysis was rational and rigorous. Based on this analysis, everyone realized that Happy's performance in this match was indeed shocking. However, it was only a victory in this match. It had no strategic impact on the following matches. As long as Tyranny adjusted their mentality and didn't let this loss affect their mentality, it would be fine.
Was this difficult for Team Tyranny? All of them were veterans of hundreds of battles. With Zhang Xinjie's analysis, this match was just an ordinary loss in an away game. How could it affect their morale?
Tyranny's emotions were quite stable. As the background of this shocking match, they seemed to have adjusted their mentality after the match ended. Their focus was on the next match, and even the one after that. Happy's performance in this match would not be a burden to their thoughts at all.
The losing team's press conference did not make them feel disappointed or depressed. This was Tyranny. Nothing could stop them from walking forward with their chests held high.
The three players who attended the press conference returned to the prep room. Everyone packed their things and left the stadium on their own. The TV in the prep room was showing Happy's press conference. No one deliberately avoided it. Everyone would occasionally glance at it to hear what Happy had to say.
Happy's press conference was attended by Ye Xiu, Fang Rui, and Luo Ji. The three of them. There was no need to say who the star of today's event would be. The moment the three of them came out, the camera flashed nonstop. 80% of them were trying to get a close-up of Luo Ji. Luo Ji was almost blinded by the flashes. He had never experienced such treatment before.
"Happy, congratulations on winning three consecutive matches in the playoffs." Interviews with the winning team were always more pleasant, relaxed, and natural. Usually, the winning team would be more willing to chat, so the reporters were not particularly anxious.
"After Blue Rain's Huang Shaotian was heavily injured by a tree in the previous match, Happy used the same point again!" When they started the topic again, they indeed talked about this.
"Haha, that's completely different. Huang Shaotian deserved it," Ye Xiu said.
"Motherf * cker!" Yu Wenzhou, who was watching TV, received two messages from Huang Shaotian. First, he cursed, then another: I'm definitely going to kill this guy. Do you have any assassins you can recommend?
Yu Wenzhou smiled and ignored him. The crowd was already laughing. Yu Wenzhou could understand Huang Shaotian's awkwardness.
"So that's why Happy purposely arranged today?" A reporter continued.
"Of course," Ye Xiu said.
"Can you tell us how you did it? You must have done a lot of preparation before the match, right? "The reporter threw out the question they were most concerned about. All eyes were on Luo Ji.
But to their surprise, Ye Xiu beat them to it. "There's no need for that. Our player has a very keen intuition for the terrain. He only needs to look around to know what to do."
"What?" All the reporters were dumbfounded. The press conference fell silent for a moment.
Luo Ji was sweating. Luo Ji was sweating like a waterfall. Luo Ji was sweating like a waterfall in Iguazu.
He actually said it like that!
Luo Ji stole a glance at Ye Xiu uneasily. What he saw was an especially calm and honest look.
He knew what to do just by looking around? How could he have such a god-like ability? In order to create such a precise destruction, he had used who knew how many kilograms of draft paper he had casually used to write and calculate. Guan Rongfei had also provided a lot of data on the various materials in the game. This was a strategy that had been prepared for a long time. It would be too wasteful to use it in the regular season. It was to be used in a crucial elimination match like the playoffs.
Before coming to the press conference, Ye Xiu had told him to say it like that. He had thought Ye Xiu was joking! But now, he saw Ye Xiu lying so casually and calmly in front of so many reporters.
"You can actually do it so casually? What kind of ability is that? " The reporters came back to their senses and immediately paid more attention to Luo Ji. They even addressed him as "you." Luo Ji suddenly became even more flustered. Of course, he could only go with the flow and make up a story in a daze. "Uh, I've always been interested in things related to Glory's terrain. I probably have some experience with this and some intuition. That's about it."
The reporters were too good at reading people's expressions. Ye Xiu was very calm, but this Luo Ji, after all, was still young. He seemed to be a little flustered. But thinking about it, for a rookie to suddenly be surrounded like a celebrity, it was normal for him to be a little flustered. This, this … could it be true?
The reporters were still skeptical, but Yu Wenzhou was already laughing in front of the TV. How could this be possible? This was obviously a lie, right? What kind of idiot would actually believe it?!
In the away team prep room, Team Tyranny still hadn't left. When they heard this, the prep room suddenly fell silent. Song Qiying immediately walked over to Zhang Xinjie's side. "Vice-captain, what Ye Xiu said just now wasn't prepared beforehand. It was just a last-minute plan. Then, if they were playing in an away team, they would also have the ability to do this."
"Idiot, how could you believe that? It was just Ye Xiu trying to be mysterious." Zhang Jiale immediately went over to lecture Song Qiying.
"Is that so?" Song Qiying was a little confused. He continued to watch the TV and listened to Luo Ji's next words.
"Experience and intuition?" Song Qiying mumbled, sneaking a glance at Zhang Jiale.
"Look at him. Ye Xiu taught him to say that!" Zhang Jiale said to Song Qiying.
Song Qiying didn't say anything. He looked at Zhang Xinjie.
"Would there be such experience and intuition?" Zhang Xinjie said.
"Are you an idiot too?" Zhang Jiale was speechless.
"There's a serious lack of information in this area. Perhaps we need to reevaluate it," Zhang Xinjie said.
