Lord Grim was Ye Qiu.
This news was enough to shock the entire Glory world. However, the higher echelons of the Glory circle had already confirmed this fact. As for the lower echelons, they had heard this rumor for a long time. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, they were already mentally prepared. Originally, this news wouldn't have caused too much of a reaction.
However, Excellent Dynasty had jumped out to confirm this rumor. The timing was a bit strange.
Team Happy was participating in the Challenger League and treating Excellent Era as their opponent. This was without a doubt. Because of this fact, some people had recently dug up the rumor that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu. Using this as evidence, they said: Lord Grim obviously wasn't Ye Qiu. If he was Ye Qiu, why would he compete with Excellent Era?
But now, Excellent Dynasty had confirmed that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu. This made many people ponder for a long time. In the end, some people firmly believed: Ye Qiu and Excellent Era had a huge conflict. It looked like this rumor was true. Wasn't he going to fight with Excellent Era?
Those who weren't Excellent Era fans and Ye Qiu fans all watched on as if it didn't have anything to do with them. They chattered and talked about all sorts of wonderful things. At this moment, many Excellent Era fans were like Little Ming from before. After hearing this confirmed news, they lost their composure for a moment.
In the past few days, Excellent Era fans had already demonized Team Happy. In their eyes, they were simply villains who wouldn't shrink from any evil. But suddenly, the villainous boss was Excellent Era's most famous God, Ye Qiu. A year ago, they had been cheering for him. How could Excellent Era fans accept this?
Some doubted, some questioned, and some directly cursed.
The elimination of the Excellent Era was undoubtedly the greatest crisis in the history of the squad. At this time, not only did the team's former captain not help them, he even started a new team and came to the Challenger League to cause trouble for Excellent Era …
Based on this logic, Excellent Era received a lot of support. For a moment, no one was discussing how to trample on Happy anymore. More people were denouncing Ye Qiu for being unkind. In comparison, those who spoke up for Ye Qiu were much weaker.
Excellent Era was quite satisfied with this move. Whether it was Cui Li or Chen Yehui, they could see from the window that Happy Internet Cafe was surrounded by a large number of fans. They held up slogans and demanded an explanation from Ye Qiu.
This scene was very familiar!
Last season, when Team Excellent Era's results were a mess, these excited fans gathered at the entrance of the club more than once or twice. And now, seeing that Ye Qiu was forced to such a state, Cui Li and the others felt that they had vented their frustrations. Now, it would depend on Happy's public relations ability. The problem was that it was just an Internet cafe. What kind of professional public relations team could they have?
Excellent Era would probably Happy at most would expose the conflict between Ye Qiu and Excellent Era, and point out that Ye Qiu was forced to retire. But this kind of thing could only be said by Ye Qiu's mouth. There was no real evidence at all. Even if Su Mucheng was added in, it would just be a war of words between the two sides. There wouldn't be any clear conclusion for the time being.
Excellent Era was prepared for this kind of argument, so they weren't afraid at all. They had been preparing for this day for a long time! No one knew more about Ye Qiu's influence than Excellent Era. Before Ye Qiu's influence disappeared, there was no way they wouldn't be on guard against this kind of exposure. If Ye Qiu retaliated with this kind of information, then it would be exactly what Excellent Era wanted and they couldn't ask for more.
Tao Xuan, Cui Li, Chen Yehui, and the others hid in the club to watch the show, but Excellent Era didn't stop. After Excellent Era confirmed Lord Grim's identity, Wang Sheng also represented the club to make a statement, confirming that Lord Grim was indeed Ye Qiu. He also mentioned that when Team Excellent Era's situation wasn't good, they had tried to contact Ye Qiu to come back and help the team as a consultant. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu refused. Wang Sheng pointed out in his statement that he regretted Ye Qiu's refusal, but the club could only respect Ye Qiu's choice.
Whether or not Excellent Era had said this wasn't important. What was important was that they had beautifully grasped the opportunity to mention it again. In the eyes of the fans, you refused the team's invitation. Now that you've made your own team to compete in the Challenger League, are you trying to go against the team?
For a moment, countless fans felt their hearts turn cold. Happy Internet Cafe and Excellent Era's media quickly rushed over. Recently, the transfer market hadn't been very lively. Who would have thought that such an explosive topic would appear in the Challenger League? With a powerhouse like Excellent Era, there was no need to worry that no one would pay attention to this topic!
Of course, as the media, they couldn't just shoot off without aiming. If they did more research, they could make the content of their reports more substantial. As a result, while rushing over to the two places for interviews, the media also searched for information on Team Happy, especially information on their participation in the Challenger League. The media directly went through the official channels of the Glory Alliance.
But after asking around, they were shocked. The Glory officials clearly stated that the identity Lord Grim had used to sign up for the Challenger League wasn't Ye Qiu at all.
As for Ye Xiu's background, the officials obviously didn't know. To sign up for the Challenger League, one only needed to provide a valid identity. To be able to pass the identity check during registration, Ye Xiu's name and ID number could be verified as valid. Ye Xiu really did exist. He was the person who was currently using Lord Grim's account to sign up. But what was his relationship with Ye Qiu? The Glory officials obviously had information on Ye Qiu. This information would be saved when registering as a pro player. The two names were very similar, and the ID number was also surprisingly similar, but in the end, they weren't exactly the same. Both identities were completely real, which meant that they were two completely different people.
For the Glory officials, if the identities were legitimate, then they had no reason to doubt them. As for the public, the Challenger League had never had the custom of announcing names and information at the beginning because at the beginning, the identities of the participating players weren't necessarily trustworthy.
In order to expand the influence of the Challenger League, more players could actively participate. The Challenger League only needed one identity to sign up for the Challenger League. The middle and early stages of the competition were all online. At this stage of the competition, the rules set by the officials could only be followed by the players themselves. If there were people who did something shady like substitute players, the officials wouldn't be able to find any evidence.
But at the end of the Challenger League, the Challenger League would enter an offline competition. At this time, substitute players wouldn't be able to appear. Teams who had previously used underhanded methods to get to this stage would have nowhere to hide. As a result, at the end of every Challenger League, everyone's identities would only be announced after the offline competition had been verified.
As a result, Lord Grim's current identity was Ye Xiu, which was a valid and valid one. The officials could only privately suspect him, but they had no reason to question him from the officials' point of view. What they could tell the media was the information they currently had: Lord Grim wasn't Ye Qiu, at least according to the information. As a result, according to the rules, the only person who could play Lord Grim could be this Ye Xiu. If Ye Qiu was substituting in, then according to the rules, the character would be banned and any cheating player or team would be disqualified.
The reporters who had received this information from the officials looked at each other in dismay. This was the official confirmation from the Glory Alliance. The reporters obviously knew that the officials had only said this because they had Lord Grim's information. There was no need to doubt their credibility.
As a result, this news was quickly reported by the media. The Glory Alliance confirmed that the player who used Lord Grim's name wasn't Ye Qiu.
The fans were dumbstruck. They had been shouting and cursing for an entire day, but it was just a mistake made by Excellent Era? Did Excellent Era make a mistake?
At Excellent Era's club.
From Tao Xuan to Chen Yehui, everyone was in a good mood. It was the best opportunity to expose Ye Qiu's identity at this point in time. Standing by the window, Tao Xuan felt very happy as he watched Happy Internet Cafe being completely surrounded.
Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly noticed that there was a commotion in the crowd.
Were they going to do something big? Tao Xuan was looking forward to it. He watched as the commotion spread further and further. The players were all walking left and right, talking about something. Then, Tao Xuan saw the crowd turn around and stride across the road, blocking the entrance to Excellent Era's club.
What was going on? Tao Xuan stared blankly for a moment, then realized that this was probably Ye Qiu's revelation. The fans immediately turned to Excellent Era for an explanation.
Thinking of this, Tao Xuan wasn't angry at all. He had been prepared for this. Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, you finally couldn't hold it in anymore? Tao Xuan thought as he returned to his desk and picked up his phone. He was already prepared to call the PR department to figure out the situation and carry out the next step of the plan. But before he could dial the number, someone suddenly knocked on his office door.
"Come in." Tao Xuan called out as he dialed the number. The door was pushed open and Manager Cui Li walked in. His expression was a bit haggard. He clearly didn't have any good news.
"What's wrong?" Tao Xuan's hand froze. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The news just now. Some media outlets reported that Lord Grim isn't Ye Qiu, but someone else. Moreover, the news was confirmed by the Alliance." Cui Li said.
"What? What news is this? Which media outlet reported this? "Tao Xuan was shocked.
"Esports Home …" Cui Li said.
Tao Xuan couldn't question it anymore. Esports Home was the most professional esports media outlet in the country. It wasn't the kind of tabloid that would fabricate gossip just for the sake of circulation. If Esports Home reported this, then it must have been confirmed by the Alliance.
"What's going on? Get Chen Yehui here! " Tao Xuan was furious. The news of Lord Grim being Ye Qiu had been provided by the Alliance. Tao Xuan had to get to the bottom of this.
As for the fans blocking the entrance to Excellent Era, Tao Xuan obviously knew that it wasn't Ye Qiu who said anything. It was the players who saw the news and immediately came to Excellent Era to denounce them.
