Even though the final results were only announced after the finals, relegation was already a foregone conclusion. Everyone had been discussing this for a long time, especially since Team Excellent Era, the former Dynasty Team, had been eliminated. Normally, a relegated team wouldn't be able to attract much attention. Only their own fans would mourn.
However, after everything was decided, Excellent Era didn't keep a low profile and made a statement. While all the attention was focused on the new champion, Excellent Era clearly wanted to inject a bit of spirit into their own fans.
Team Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, personally accepted an interview. In the interview, he said that even though Excellent Era had been relegated, it wasn't over yet. Especially after watching this year's finals, Samsara's performance had once again confirmed that his team's strategy had been correct. This was an era that needed stars, and in his team, there was a star like Zhou Zekai.
"Are you talking about Sun Xiang?" Of course, the interviewing media could guess. Sun Jia's skill could be said to be God-level, and his appearance was also very good. He had all the qualities that Zhou Zekai had. Moreover, he wasn't like Zhou Zekai, a taciturn gourd. If developed properly, his value should be even higher than Zhou Zekai's. From Tao Xuan's words, everyone could hear his confidence.
With a player like Su Mucheng in his hands, Excellent Era was no stranger to developing a player's commercial value. From Tao Xuan's attitude, it could be seen that even though Su Mucheng was excellent, in his eyes, she was still far from Zhou Zekai.
No one objected to this point. In the competitive scene, everything was determined by victory and defeat. Beautiful women were pleasing to the eyes, but everyone didn't gather in this circle just to look at beautiful women. Zhou Zekai's stunning performance on stage ignited the passion of the players. In the end, appearance was just the icing on the cake. For Su Mucheng to have such popularity, it had to be said that her own skill was quite good. If she only had mediocre skill, it wouldn't matter how beautiful she was. This was not a place where one could earn a living based on looks. Even if the hype was very strong, the moment they went on stage, they would immediately reveal their cowardice. There was no way to hide it.
At the same time, they also had to look at the content of the performance. It was just like how a striker would always attract more attention than a defender on a football field. The content of the performance, the style of the competition, and the effect of the competition would further determine a contestant's popularity. From this point of view, Zhou Zekai's explosive performance on the field was undoubtedly outstanding.
In Tao Xuan's eyes, there was no way that Su Mucheng would be able to do what she did on the court. Without any major breakthroughs on the court, her popularity would remain the same. It would be good if her popularity didn't drop. In his eyes, Sun Xiang was a player who was comparable to Zhou Zekai. He was young, and he was full of vigor on the field. Furthermore, he looked like a tiger that had grown wings. No matter how one looked at him, he had unlimited potential. And Zhou Zekai's success was more like a living example. It was like a stimulant that gave Tao Xuan the courage to take the initiative to face the media and speak with confidence.
He praised Samsara's success. Did he like this team that much? Of course not. It was only because this was the best way to build a team in his mind. Praising Samsara was more to let the supporters of Excellent Era understand: even though we were relegated this season, we were on the right path to rapid development. Look, Samsara, who won the championship this season, is our template for the future. They have Zhou Zekai, and we have Sun Xiang!
"But from this season's situation, Sun Xiang and Excellent Era don't seem to be adapting very well to each other." The media obviously wouldn't blindly praise. When it was time to be sharp, they still had to be sharp.
However, towards this somewhat awkward question, Tao Xuan was still as calm as ever. He admitted that Sun Xiang and Excellent Era did have some problems getting along. Otherwise, the team wouldn't have been relegated so badly. But afterwards, he once again emphasized that Excellent Era's ambition was to focus on the future. The glory of the past was already outdated. The team needed to turn over a new leaf. As for how to solve the problems between Sun Xiang and Excellent Era, Tao Xuan proudly threw out a bombshell: Team Thunder's captain, All Star player, Master Tactician Xiao Shiqin, would be transferring to Team Excellent Era next season.
"I don't think I need to comment on Xiao Shiqin's Glory tactics, right? I believe that with his arrival, he will definitely be able to fit every member of Team Excellent Era into a perfect tactical system. "Tao Xuan expressed with complete confidence.
This was definitely a bombshell.
Even though Xiao Shiqin had already given his farewell speech when Thunder was relegated in the playoffs, Excellent Era was also a name that was often mentioned in an orderly manner. However, this was only a guess. Excellent Era was only one of many possibilities. Even though it was clear and logical, Excellent Era's relegation this season was a Achilles' heel. Would an All Star player like Xiao Shiqin be attracted to a team that played in the Challenger League?
But now, Excellent Era had personally acknowledged this possibility. The Glory Pro Alliance's summer transfer window started on July 1st and ended on August 31st. It was still June, but the season had already ended. Xiao Shiqin had already made his announcement. Even though Tao Xuan's announcement was a bit against the rules, no one would mind.
Tao Xuan was also worried. This team wouldn't be able to play in the Pro Alliance next season. They would definitely lose a lot of popularity this year. He needed to do more to make sure that the players wouldn't give up too easily. Announcing the transfer early was a good move.
This was because everyone knew that Xiao Shiqin didn't come to Excellent Era to play in the Challenger League. He also had his eyes on the future. He wanted to sacrifice this season and return to the Pro Alliance with Excellent Era, aiming for the championship. Even an All Star player like Xiao Shiqin had high hopes for Excellent Era's future. Shouldn't everyone be patient and look forward to it? Tao Xuan wanted to secretly convey this message.
The first transfer of the summer transfer window was announced just like this. This sort of news would be the main source of entertainment for the players during the summer.
After the finals ended, the last two participating teams announced the start of their holidays. This holiday was only for a portion of the players. For the owners, managers, logistics, captains, and so on, the holidays weren't idle either.
In order to welcome the new season, every team would be actively working. Whether it was player transfers or character transfers, as well as the constant improvement of character equipment, these were all important tasks for the summer. There would even be a few diligent players who would return to Glory after a short break. Even though there wouldn't be any matches to play during this time, they might still enter the game and help their Club guilds with wild bosses.
Ye Xiu obviously knew about this situation. However, this was completely up to the players. The Club wouldn't force them to do anything. Currently, in their Alliance, Conquering Clouds, Radiant, and Parade didn't need to play in the playoffs. Their holidays had started long ago, but Ye Xiu hadn't heard of any players willing to use their holidays to help out. This made Ye Xiu feel very regretful. Helping out in the game during the holidays was a habit of the older players. In the early days of the Alliance, the pro players weren't just responsible for competing. They also participated in basic competitions like killing bosses and snatching materials.
As for the newer players, after joining the Alliance, they only needed to focus on training and competing. The in-game matters were handled by the Club guilds. As a result, there were very few players who could learn from their seniors and help out during the holidays. For example, Conquering Clouds and the other two teams had already been on holiday for nearly a month, but none of their players had the awareness to do so. Ye Xiu felt like there was no hope.
In the new week, under the efforts of Blue Brook Pavilion and Samsara, the fans gradually calmed down. The game once again calmed down. The eternal task of snatching wild bosses was once again brought up, but this time, everyone knew that there was another opponent: God Ye Qiu's small guild alliance.
Last week, everyone had been busy fighting and hadn't had time to truly deal with it. Starting this week, everyone would be facing this type of challenge. The core members of the big guilds were somewhat nervous. After all, this opponent wasn't to be underestimated.
Early Monday morning, three wild bosses spawned in the Heavenly Domain. Even though the small guild alliance had some players on the scene, they still weren't able to snatch the three wild bosses. Those in the know knew that this was because God Ye Qiu wasn't online. The four guilds could only rely on themselves to fight. That wasn't the same as having a God.
On Monday morning, Ye Xiu and the others went online. Loulan Slash and the other three guild leaders also appeared in high spirits. Even though their guild's characters could be switched continuously, in their group, Ye Xiu was more important as a person, not as a character. When Ye Xiu wasn't online, they could only pray that the wild bosses wouldn't spawn or that they spawned less. Last night, three wild bosses spawned. The managers of the four guilds had also tried to team up with everyone, but the results were disastrous. The big guilds had already treated them as important targets to guard against. In addition, they were all on guard against them. In that instant, they were as close as a family.
It had to be said that this was all because of Ye Xiu's group mockery. After knowing that he was their backer, the big guilds couldn't help but band together as if it was a conditioned reflex. It wasn't like before, when they had to form a group chat to discuss things.
Now, everyone in the group chat said: "They're here!" This meant that Ye Xiu's enemy had appeared.
Then, they said: "Be careful!" Thus, everyone banded together.
The four guild alliance didn't have any advantages last night. The four guild leaders had the same schedule as Ye Xiu. When they heard this report in the morning, they sighed: "Sure enough, a God is very important. Without a God, our four guilds wouldn't be enough!"
Because of the addition of a God, they became even more mockery. The difficulty of snatching wild bosses went from S to SSS. This was something they didn't realize.
