Of Hundred Blossoms' two players, compared to the previous players, one was lacking in experience and character, while the other was lacking in skill. However, for Tang Hao to be able to say something like "the junior succeeds the senior", he was also a very arrogant guy. He didn't take these things too seriously and stood there with an air of superiority.
As for Zou Yuan, he was more uneasy. He felt like he was standing further back than his character and didn't dare to look at the audience. When he heard the next players being introduced, he immediately turned his head to look.
Behind him were Team Excellent Era's two players, Sun Xiang and Su Mucheng. Their characters, Battle Mage One Leaf Of Autumn and Launcher Dancing Rain, were quickly projected onto the stage. They were originally the most coordinated pair in the Alliance, but at this moment, Dancing Rain's owner didn't hide her disgust at all. She kept her distance from Sun Xiang and stood closer to Team Hundred Blossoms' Zou Yuan. The broadcast also knew how to cause trouble. It immediately zoomed in on Ye Xiu's future empty seat. Once again, nothing needed to be said.
After these two players, 301 Degrees' captain, Yang Cong, stepped onto the stage with his Assassin character, Scene Killer. Even though he was the ace of a team, Yang Cong couldn't be considered one of the top players in terms of skill or character. He stood on the stage with a very humble appearance.
After Yang Cong came onto the stage, the introductions entered a break. The audience counted and saw that twelve people had come up first. They immediately understood that these were the groups for the All-Star Competition. These twelve All-Star players would be temporary teammates tonight. Team Samsara's Zhou Zekai became the temporary captain of this All-Star team. However, this appointment was clearly just to give face to the host team. If Zhou Zekai was really going to be the commander, even Samsara wouldn't agree. Zhou Zekai was the captain in name, but in reality, Team Blue Rain's Yu Wenzhou was the actual captain.
No one had any objections to this. This friendly captain had a very good relationship with everyone in the pro scene.
The MC did a simple interview with the twelve players and then arranged for them to sit in the seats specially prepared for the All-Star Match. The twelve of them lined up in a row and sat at one end of the arena. Then, the other twelve people immediately began to appear.
First up was Team Micrograss. Like Blue Rain, they had three All-Stars.
Captain Wang Jiexi, character Vaccaria, class Witch.
Vice Captain Deng Fusheng. Character name: Angelica. Class: Knight.
The other player was a professional Grappler, Li Yihui. His character was Flying in Random Drops, and he was one of the mainstays of the Micrograss champion team.
After Micrograss, the two members of Team Tyranny appeared. They were the captain and vice-captain, Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie.
Han Wenqing's character was naturally the famous Striker, Desert Dust, known as the "King of Fighters".
Zhang Xinjie's character was a Cleric. His character was Immovable Rock.
Next up was Team Void's Li Xuan. His character was Sobbing Ghost, and his class was Ghostblade. Along with him was his teammate, Wu Yuce. His character was Carved Ghost, and his class was also Ghostblade. His and Li Xuan's Ghostblade Duo was a classic combination in the pro scene. They had always been a strong contender for Best Partner between Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng.
After Team Void's two players, the next up was Team Wind Howl's Lin Jingyan. Even though his condition had declined, and Tang Hao had successfully overtaken him, the All-Star Match was a competition of popularity. For a God like Lin Jingyan, even if he relied on his past achievements before his retirement, he would still be able to squeeze into these 24 players. What's more, he had the support of Demon Subduer, the number one Brawler.
And this Team Wind Howl wasn't just Lin Jingyan. They also had another player, Fang Rui. His character was Doubtful Demon, and his class was a Thief in the Nightwalker class. His playstyle was dirty, dirty, and more dirty.
Next up was Team Thunder's captain, Xiao Shiqin. He was one of Glory's four Master Tacticians. He was someone who could cause trouble for any team even with a bad hand. His character, Life Extinguisher, had a murderous name, but his class was actually a Mechanic. He definitely wasn't a character who would fight head-on.
After Xiao Shiqin, Team Royal Style's Tian Sen went up. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. Just the imposing aura from his physique was enough to shock the crowd. Pro players who studied Glory were basically nerds. There were very few athletes like him. A player with such a muscular body was very rare among the 200 players.
Tian Sen's character was called Peaceful Hermit. He was an Exorcist in the Priest class. It was also an ancient God-level character. Tian Sen was already the third user of this character. With the change in the owner of this character, Team Royal Style wasn't as good as they used to be. They had such a top-tier character, but they couldn't even get a ticket to the playoffs.
After Tian Sen, Zhao Yang went up, Team Seaside's ace. His character was Hai Wuliang, and he was a Qi Master. His situation was similar to Yang Cong's. His character and character weren't very top-tier, but that was only when compared to the top-tier. To be able to make it to the top 24, they all had some outstanding aspects.
Now, another 12 players went up on stage. This team had Wang Jiexi as their temporary captain. He represented the team and said a few words. After the host casually asked a few questions, these 12 players also went up on stage to face off against the other 12 players.
Who would fight in the individual competition, who would fight in the group arena, and who would fight in the team arena hadn't been announced yet, but the audience was already boiling with excitement.
Even though the All-Star Competition was a performance, the Alliance was always afraid of too much of a performance. If there wasn't enough competition, it would decrease the audience value. As a result, the Alliance would think of ways to create some sparks to increase the competition. For example, in today's groups, Blue Rain and Micrograss, Excellent Era and Tyranny, these players who often competed with each other were all split into two sides. Apart from this, players like Tang Hao and Lin Jingyan, who had some personal grudges, were also considered. Relying on these relationships, the competition clearly wouldn't be too perfunctory.
Micrograss's players would let Blue Rain flaunt their prowess as they pleased? Even if the players didn't care, they still had to consider the feelings of their fans. Some opponents, no matter the time, no matter the place, couldn't be backed down. And with these people leading the way, how could the All-Star Competition not be lively? The pro players obviously understood this deliberate design, but they had no choice but to do so.
These 24 players were all popular characters in Glory. There was no need for too much introductions. The competition quickly entered its most important stage. The first round of the individual competition was about to begin. Who would each side send up? It hadn't been revealed yet. The audience in the stadium and in front of their televisions were all craning their necks in anticipation.
As for the host, when introducing the players for the first round, he purposely slowed down his tone to whet everyone's appetite to the max.
In the end, Team One sent out Team 301's Yang Cong. Team Two sent out Team Royal Style's Tian Sen.
Among the twenty-four people, even the best of the best couldn't crush anyone. Improvisation played a key role in this level of competition.
However, in the end, the deciding factor in the match between the two was the account characters.
Peaceful Hermit was a character worthy of being called a God. In comparison, Yang Cong's Assassin, Scene Killer, was a bit inferior. Tian Sen relied on his character's advantage to play steadily and didn't make any mistakes. In the end, he won the match without any mishaps.
After the match, the two players were interviewed on the spot. Naturally, the winner said that the loser played well and relied on luck. The loser said that the loser played better and deserved this victory. After all, this was only the All-Star Competition. There was no sign of hostility between these two players who didn't have any enmity with each other. After the two shook hands happily, the first round of the individual competition ended.
In the second round of the individual competition, Team Hundred Blossoms' Zou Yuan was sent up. Team Two sent out Micrograss' Grappler, Li Yihui.
Zou Yuan's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was a bonafide God-level account. It was just that his performance this season wasn't commendable. This player, who had been asked to come in as a backup, had to replace the God-level Zhang Jiale. Furthermore, he was using the core account of the entire team. The pressure on Zou Yuan was easy to imagine. However, on this All-Star Weekend, in a competition that didn't require much pressure, the completely relaxed Zou Yuan actually played his most outstanding match of the season. In the end, he defeated the champion team's Li Yihui. The crowd gave him a warm round of applause.
After another round of humble interviews, the third round began. In the individual competition, one win was one win. There was no such thing as a point reward for winning two out of three matches, so there wasn't much of a need to pay attention to the lineups.
Team One sent out Team Blue Rain's Berserker Yu Feng for the third round. Team Two sent out Team Wind Howl's dirty Fang Rui.
When the lineups came out, the audience let out a sigh of regret. In the individual competition, their arch-rivals, Blue Rain and Micrograss, had both sent out players. Unfortunately, they hadn't sent out players for the second and third round. If the players from these two teams had clashed, the audience was certain that the battle would have been even more intense. However, from this, it could be seen that the Alliance was in charge of Team One and Team Two, but when it came to the confrontation stage, the lineups were completely up to the players. Otherwise, if the two sides had colluded, how could they have missed such an arrangement?
Yu Feng's Berserker was a direct attack class, while Fang Rui was a dirty Thief. This match looked like a game of hide and seek, but no one dared to underestimate the skill involved.
Both sides were carefully observing each other's movements and slowly wearing each other down. Of the three individual matches, this one took the longest. After a full five minutes, Fang Rui's wretched Thief made a small mistake and was caught by Yu Feng's Soldier. Yu Feng ruthlessly beat him up, ending the match.
The crowd burst into thunderous applause. Playing dirty was a kind of extreme. Some people liked it very much, while others hated it very much. At this moment, the ones who were clapping with all their might were naturally players who looked down on dirty players. When they saw the dirty Fang Rui get hit, they felt extremely satisfied.
