After the first two rounds, Tyranny had earned two points, while Excellent Era had earned three points. However, Excellent Era's fans weren't too happy about this. For the current Excellent Era, points weren't something they could do without. If they had more points, they wouldn't be able to make it to the playoffs. If they didn't have enough points, they wouldn't be eliminated from the bottom two.
Excellent Era's fans hoped to see a soul-stirring match, a match filled with vigor. In reality, they didn't necessarily need to defeat Tyranny, but they needed to create trouble for Tyranny and give Tyranny a hard time. For Excellent Era, who didn't have any hope of achieving any results, their fans had already entered a state where they only wanted to enjoy the process and didn't care about the results.
The break before the team competition was always rather long. Pan Lin and guest Li Yibo discussed this issue for a while. As for the current situation of the two teams, these two experienced insiders had a clear understanding of it.
Happy Internet Cafe was also filled with discussion. The atmosphere of the broadcast of Excellent Era reappeared. To be honest, Chen Guo also missed this atmosphere. Right now, seeing the customers all united in support of Excellent Era, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
After a 20-minute break, the team competition finally began. Both sides sent out the most skilled lineups they had ever used in the Pro League and entered the competition.
Happy Internet Cafe was quickly boiling with excitement, cheering for Team Excellent Era. However, no one would have thought that this team competition would be a wet blanket for Excellent Era's fans from start to finish.
Team Excellent Era charged forward with great momentum, letting the fans feel their confidence and fighting spirit. However, after a few minutes of fighting, as long as you had a little understanding of Glory, you could see that Team Excellent Era was at an absolute disadvantage.
Tactics!
What decided the outcome of this match wasn't their fighting spirit, confidence, technique, performance, or experience. It was their tactics.
It went without saying who was the most eye-catching in this match: Jia Tu's Zhang Xinjie.
However, when it came to tactics, they weren't very intuitive. He wasn't like a brilliant operation that could be displayed in front of the audience in two or three seconds, instantly stirring up the audience's emotions. Tactics were obviously more profound. Sometimes, it was like a novel full of foreshadowing. The beginning was dull and boring, but when the laid out tactics began to bear fruit, that was the beginning of the climax of the tactics. Only when the continuous attacks were successful would the audience realize the purpose of some of the dull and boring parts in the beginning.
This match was just like that. The first few minutes looked like a normal confrontation, but after enduring for a while, Tyranny began to take advantage of the situation and seize the upper hand. Meanwhile, the commentators and guests had been analyzing the intentions of both sides from the very beginning. At this moment, they had even analyzed the entire situation and tactical layout thoroughly based on the previous few minutes of confrontation.
"This is what I call interesting," Ye Xiu also praised.
"Indeed." Chen Guo nodded. This was because she had completely abandoned her identity as an Excellent Era fan. Right now, she wasn't as listless as the other Excellent Era supporters in the Internet Cafe. She was also very interested in appreciating Zhang Xinjie's tactical layout.
"A lone wolf like Sun Xiang is afraid of this kind of mature fighting style that is fully prepared and has targeted tactics. Let's not even talk about Tyranny, who isn't any weaker than Excellent Era. Even Team Thunder might be able to completely crush Excellent Era, "Ye Xiu said.
"Because they have Xiao Shiqin." Chen Guo obviously knew the illustrious name of one of the four Master Tacticians.
"That's right."
"Then what about Excellent Era? Is there anyone else who's good at tactics? "Chen Guo asked.
No one in the entire Alliance would be able to answer this question more authoritatively than Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu was silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking his head.
"Hmph … retribution," Chen Guo said bluntly. Excellent Era naturally had Master Tacticians. Ye Xiu was one of the four Master Tacticians. After Excellent Era chased away Ye Xiu, they had so many problems. For Chen Guo, who didn't like them very much, of course, she felt very satisfied.
"This season, Excellent Era is just like this."
With Ye Xiu's final comment, the team battle between Tyranny and Excellent Era ended with Tyranny's victory. From the final results on paper, Tyranny, who only won two games, seemed to have won quite tragically. However, anyone who had watched the entire process of the competition would know that while it was tragic, it was also tragic. In any case, the number of people left in the team competition wouldn't change the number of points, so sometimes, it was better to trade a life for a life. Ending the competition in a clean and efficient manner was also a very direct and effective method.
In the post-match press conference, it was rare for these two old rivals to not be at each other's throats. But this was only on the surface.
Tyranny only said a few words about this match. Then, he talked about the prospects and goals of this season, as well as the team's plans for the playoffs. And all of this was something that Excellent Era didn't have. Some of the professional reporters who were good at reading between the lines immediately felt that Tyranny was saying that Excellent Era was no longer on the same level as them, so he didn't bother to talk about them.
On Excellent Era's side, the loser's voice was quieter. Excellent Era politely praised Tyranny's outstanding tactics in the team battle. In the process, they casually pointed out that because Tyranny was playing on their home turf, they were able to use such meticulous tactics. In the end, they said that it was a pity that they wouldn't have the chance to play against Tyranny this season. They hoped that the two sides would give the audience an even more exciting match next season.
Their words were also reserved. And the reporters who were good at finding topics to talk about discovered that Excellent Era's hidden message seemed to be the notion that it was never too late for revenge.
Excellent Era understood their supporters' emotions very well, so they didn't dare to make a ruckus without thinking. They had already lost. If they still stubbornly refused to admit their loss, then they would seem very undignified and low-class. Excellent Era hadn't touched the championship trophy in four years, but with the glory of three consecutive championships, they always thought of themselves as the number one team in the Glory Alliance.
The press conference ended peacefully, and so did Happy Internet Cafe's broadcast. The audience began to leave, their interest waning. Looking at their dejected appearances, Chen Guo really wanted to go up and grab them and ask: "Do you guys miss Ye Qiu?"
In the end, Chen Guo didn't do that, because the person involved, Ye Xiu, was sitting calmly to the side! She felt that if she jumped out and stood out, she definitely wouldn't be thanked by the person involved. Instead, she was more likely to be looked down upon.
After sending off this large group of customers, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo both stayed at the front desk to play the game. That night, because of the match, business was mediocre. The later it was, the fewer people there were, so there weren't any new customers. When it was almost midnight, there wasn't a single person left in the Internet Cafe. After this, many youths without IDs came, wanting to use the computer. Naturally, they were all chased away by Chen Guo. At 11 o 'clock, a large group of youths came over, trying to negotiate with Chen Guo, wanting to play all night.
Faced with this problem, Chen Guo didn't care about anything else. Anyone without an ID could leave. There was no room for discussion. After the last customer left, she simply closed the shutters.
During the long break, she entertained her idols and played with them. Even though Chen Guo didn't always stay up all night, her good sleep schedule was finally disrupted. It was now 12 o 'clock. If it was before, she would have already gone to bed, but now, she was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy.
What to do? Only Glory …
She and Ye Xiu tidied up the front desk, and then the two sat together on the computer they usually used for gaming. They each logged into their own accounts.
"How is it? Did you make any progress recently?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo numbly shook her head. She turned her head to look at Ye Xiu's screen: "What level are you now?"
"Level 49. I'm going to level 50 tonight," Ye Xiu said.
The historical moment was finally here. Chen Guo decided to try not to sleep tonight to commemorate this glorious moment.
"What do you plan on doing after level 50?" Chen Guo asked.
"I'll accept the quest first, do the process, and wait for others to level up," Ye Xiu said.
"It's really a waste of time …" Chen Guo sighed, "The process of the quest is something normal players can't do, so they often repeat it. That's why it's so tedious. But for Ye Xiu, Chen Guo believed that he would be able to complete it in one go. There wouldn't be any repetition. He would take it one step at a time, so the Heavenly Domain Challenge wouldn't take up too much time. On the other hand, in the Arena, it would take at least a month for the masses to reach level 50. There was a Chinese New Year quest, but normal players wouldn't play day and night like Ye Xiu and the others. As a result, Ye Xiu's leveling speed wasn't representative at all. With the popularity of this event, it would take at least half a month for a large number of players to flood in. During this half a month, Ye Xiu could be said to be trapped here with nothing to do.
That night, Chen Guo didn't sleep at all. She did the event quest while paying attention to Lord Grim's experience bar. Finally, she witnessed this historical moment with her own eyes. Lord Grim perfectly leveled up to level 50 in a white light. He was the first player in the tenth server to reach level 50.
Because of the Chinese New Year, the large guilds' 24/7 leveling methods weren't very effective. During this time, they weren't as diligent as Ye Xiu. In addition, Chen Guo didn't give up on helping Ye Xiu level. During this seven day long break, Lord Grim became the true number one player in the tenth server.
Unfortunately, the tenth server didn't hold a leveling competition this time. Although Lord Grim was the first to reach level 50, he didn't receive any system rewards. He only attracted the attention of some players. (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.)
