When this silent character transfer was discovered, it immediately became the headline of any Glory or esports news. The number of posts on the forums increased exponentially. Of course, the topic of discussion was all about Dazzling Hundred Blossoms changing ownership.
After the initial frenzy of incomprehension, some methodical analysis gradually floated to the surface.
Zhang Jiale was preparing to return and join Tyranny? Originally, there had been no news of this at all, but how fierce were the gossipers? Even if there was no shadow, he would be able to add oil and vinegar to your story and make it sound very logical. Zhang Jiale had returned and joined Tyranny. This was the truth, and it was also the most logical explanation for the current situation.
Because in the current pro scene, there wasn't a particularly outstanding Spitfire player. This was perhaps the reason why Team Hundred Blossoms gave up their core character. It was undoubtedly a very bold decision. After this character transfer was revealed, Hundred Blossoms was already being cursed. No one could rationally analyze this matter.
Perhaps Hundred Blossoms couldn't find a suitable core player, so they might as well completely rebuild. But why did Tyranny buy Dazzling Hundred Blossoms? Did they have a good Spitfire player?
The gossipers had already taken a look at the current Spitfire players in the pro scene when Tang Hao transferred to Wind Howl. The conclusion was that none of the current Spitfire players were worth more than four million. No one had the potential to become a God.
As a result, the gossipers guessed two possibilities for Tyranny's purchase.
First, Tyranny had nurtured an outstanding rookie who was a Spitfire.
Second, Tyranny had invited Zhang Jiale, who had suddenly retired last season, to return.
Both theories were being discussed. Of course, Ye Xiu and the others knew that the second theory was the truth.
Ye Xiu even guessed that Tyranny might have already started working on Zhang Jiale when he first met Zhang Jiale in-game.
Lin Jingyan's transfer seemed rather sudden, but it was probably something that Tyranny had been planning for a long time. Perhaps it was this kind of plan that ultimately moved Zhang Jiale.
Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, Lin Jingyan, plus Zhang Jiale, this was an All-Star team that had never existed before in the history of the Alliance. Even though some powerhouses had three All-Stars, that was completely different from Tyranny's blueprint.
Han Wenqing, Lin Jingyan, and Zhang Jiale were all ace players who could support a team. They were the original core players of the three teams. But now, the three core figures were gathered together. This was absolutely unprecedented. If this blueprint couldn't move Zhang Jiale, then it was debatable whether or not he wanted a championship.
However, the biggest argument against this truth was that if he really did come back, Team Hundred Blossoms wouldn't have sold Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. Team Hundred Blossoms was Zhang Jiale's only home. This was the team he had played for for six years!
Without a doubt, those who held this view were all diehard fans of Team Hundred Blossoms and Zhang Jiale's diehard fans.
Ye Xiu and the others who knew the truth couldn't bear to continue watching. They could already imagine how many people would be heartbroken when the truth was announced.
The Alliance had a rule that a retired player could only come back after a full year. Zhang Jiale had suddenly decided to retire last year at the start of the new season, catching Team Hundred Blossoms off guard. At that time, it was already the end of the transfer window. In addition, there really weren't any particularly outstanding Spitfires in the pro scene, so Zou Yuan was forced to do something beyond his ability.
However, this rule mainly referred to players officially registering for pro matches. It didn't say that it couldn't be announced early.
As a result, that evening, the truly sensational news appeared. Zhang Jiale, who hadn't received any news before, accepted an interview and admitted that he would be coming back in the new season. Moreover, he had already reached an agreement with Team Tyranny to play for Team Tyranny in the new season.
Even though there was already a lot of gossip, the power of the truth was always something that gossip couldn't compare to. For a moment, the news of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms being bought by Tyranny and Zhang Jiale coming back to join Tyranny became a hot topic. The entire Glory scene went crazy. Compared to this news, Tang Hao's ten million dollar transfer was nothing.
As expected by Ye Xiu and the others, when the truth came out, everyone's hearts shattered. The ones who made the most noise were Team Hundred Blossoms' most loyal fans.
They could barely accept that the team had given up on Tang Hao. After all, this core wasn't Team Hundred Blossoms' tradition. They still preferred a Spitfire as their core.
But then, giving up on Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was something they couldn't accept no matter what. However, by the time this news came out, it was already too late. The transfer had already been approved by the Pro Alliance. The fans didn't even have the chance to protest, because even if they protested, it wouldn't change the fact.
They felt that this was very disrespectful to the fans. They felt that they had been cheated, fooled, and even betrayed. All of the loyal fans gathered their fighting spirit and angrily shouted for an entire afternoon. They loudly reprimanded Club Hundred Blossoms' decision, viewing it as an idiotic trade. They demanded that the club give the fans an explanation.
As for the gossipers who only wanted to liven things up, they wrote about the speculation that Zhang Jiale would be joining Tyranny. This made them extremely angry. In their hearts, even if Zhang Jiale had irresponsibly retired last season, he was still Team Hundred Blossoms' most outstanding ace captain. No matter what, he would always be a member of Team Hundred Blossoms. How could he join Tyranny?
While the fans reprimanded the club, they also fought against the countless gossipers in order to protect the club's former players. The love of the fans was true love. They didn't understand the club's actions, but when this kind of speculation happened, which they felt was an insult to the team's former players, they resolutely chose to fight.
Until this moment in the evening.
When Zhang Jiale's interview was released. All of the gossipers were excited. They waved this piece of news, slapping the faces of the Hundred Blossoms fans who had been cursing them all afternoon. And at this moment, the Hundred Blossoms fans had no strength to fight back.
The club had sold their favorite character, and their favorite player had voluntarily left for another team. For a loyal Hundred Blossoms fan, this moment felt like they had been abandoned by the whole world. This day, for them, was an extremely gloomy day.
Countless people already didn't have the strength to argue.
There was no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
At this moment, what could the Hundred Blossoms fans bring out to say?
At this moment, countless Hundred Blossoms fans silently turned off their computers. The news that had appeared one after another today made their hearts sink to the bottom of the valley. But because of this, there were also many fans who exploded in anger. They reprimanded Club Hundred Blossoms even more emotionally. And this time, Zhang Jiale was completely swept up in it.
Zhang Jiale had predicted this outcome long ago. In fact, during the interview, when the reporter learned of his decision, he immediately predicted this would definitely happen. The reporter had already asked this question at the time. Zhang Jiale's answer sounded very calm. He felt sorry for his irresponsible retirement last season, and also felt sorry for not returning to Team Hundred Blossoms this season. He didn't say anything like he hoped the fans could understand. But perhaps the reporter felt the pain and unease Zhang Jiale felt when he said these words, so he asked why Zhang Jiale had made this decision.
The answer was very simple: to be the champions.
To be the champions.
There were still people who could understand the meaning behind these words.
Amidst the storm of scolding, there was no lack of fans who sent Zhang Jiale beautiful blessings. But clearly, their blessings didn't receive widespread support. They became the second target of scolding after Club Hundred Blossoms and Zhang Jiale.
The commotion continued for an entire week.
Even the pro players were shaken. Whether it was on vacation or going home, the pro players who had been hiding somewhere all popped up one after another, exchanging information with the pro players they were on good terms with, and commenting in the pro player chat groups. Zhang Jiale was actually in some of these big and small groups, but he never appeared to say anything. On the other hand, Team Tyranny's players came out with a "hehe" or two. That tone of voice was self-evident.
However, everyone was a mature pro player. They wouldn't argue about who would be the champions next season. That kind of argument would still happen in the early days, but now, everyone was very mature. This type of transfer, no matter how shocking it was to the outside world, the pro players would face it calmly.
The reason was because they were the ones who understood the words "to be the champions" the most.
Of course, nothing was absolute. It wasn't as if there weren't any pro players who had opinions about Zhang Jiale's actions. But no matter what they said or argued in the group, Zhang Jiale never appeared. Just like after he retired last year, no one knew if he really wasn't there or if he was just lurking.
Team Tyranny's plan for the new season was very clearly revealed to the public. The strongest roster in history on paper naturally attracted a lot of attention. The media even counted the highest points in the current season, and felt that this was a goal that Team Tyranny could challenge in the new season.
As for Han Wenqing, Lin Jingyan, and Zhang Jiale's age, no one ignored it. However, age had become their greatest motivation at this time. This was something that many people could see. The report had already explained it clearly and logically. It was just short of saying that the new league between the three brothers would burn up the universe and destroy the planet at the very last moment.
As for Team Hundred Blossoms? Two transfers allowed them to earn 26 million in transfer profits. This was actually a record. However, at this time, they were surrounded by people like pitiful worms.
