World Insomnia.
After seeing the name of their opponent, Team Happy was speechless for a long time. After a while, Ye Xiu said, "I think our Team Happy's name is very, very outstanding."
Everyone nodded furiously. For everyone present, World Insomnia was such a majestic name that they couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Only Chen Guo managed to search for the team. She clicked on their members and copied down their classes. In the official information on the battle teams, there was only information on their occupations. If you wanted to know anything else, you would have to pay attention to it during the Challenger League. Of course, it wasn't realistic to do this right from the start. There were more than ten thousand teams. How could she pay attention to all of them? Thus, the most feasible method was to lock onto one's opponents and observe their tactics and strength.
Of course, this was for teams with a clear plan. They were aiming for the final victory. For teams that were just participating, there was no need to be so far-sighted.
After Chen Guo looked at the classes of the six members of World Insomnia, she looked at their final opponent, Team Excellent Era.
Excellent Era might be a powerhouse, but they didn't have any special rights to participate in the Challenger League after being eliminated from the Alliance. Of course, because of their fame, the Alliance didn't mind using them as a publicity stunt. However, Excellent Era was just one of the 14218 teams in the Challenger League.
Chen Guo searched for Excellent Era. Of course, she searched for the name Excellent Era. She almost laughed out loud.
Too bad.
Chen Guo looked at the names of the teams on the screen. She sighed and laughed at the same time.
"Undefeatable Team Universe of Excellent Era," "Excellent Era, I'm Your Lifelong Rival," "Excellent Era, Is the Scenery of the Challenger League Good?" … There were many names that were obviously mocking the teams established by Excellent Era. These teams definitely weren't here to participate in the Challenger League seriously. They were just here to mock Excellent Era. A powerhouse team! Although there were many fans, there were also a lot of people who hated them. This kind of sarcastic and boring behavior made Chen Guo, who was from the Excellent Era, feel a lot better.
She pointed at these teams and really went in to take a look. Of course, they were just some teams that were not particular about making up the numbers. In the end, he found the real Team Excellent Era and looked at the information of the current members of Team Excellent Era.
"Eh? Excellent Era has two Battle Mages!" Chen Guo was actually very familiar with the lineup of Excellent Era. However, looking at the names that she used to be familiar with, she had a different feeling. Among the familiar names, there was an unfamiliar name. Combat Form, a Battle Mage.
"Who is this?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu. No matter how familiar she was with the Excellent Era, she couldn't compare to this person. Su Mucheng had already returned to the team, so there was no need to ask.
"Combat Form …" When Ye Xiu saw this character, he immediately knew who it was.
Qiu Fei. This was the Battle Mage character that the Club had given to Qiu Fei. At the time, Qiu Fei was seen as the successor to One Leaf Of Autumn, so the character he received was definitely not weak. And now, Qiu Fei's character had appeared in the Challenger League roster. Had he already been summoned by the team?
After all, this was the Challenger League. Due to the competition rules, Qiu Fei's appearance in the lineup didn't mean that Excellent Era had given him a professional contract. Although Team Excellent Era had filled in the All Star level Xiao Shiqin, three people had left this summer. Xiao Shiqin was an All Star God, but it wasn't to the point where he could play as three people. Even with his All Star level character, Life Extinguisher, it was still the same.
Excellent Era also needed to fill in the gaps, but their status as a relegated team was very awkward. Not to mention how many pro players had Xiao Shiqin's confidence, just Excellent Era's signing of a few pro players with high salaries to play in the Challenger League was a bit excessive in the eyes of most people.
Excellent Era's original roster, after replacing Xiao Shiqin, only lost two players, but all of their second string players were still there. As a second string player in a powerhouse team like Excellent Era, wasn't it more than enough to deal with the opponents in the Challenger League? Even if Ye Qiu was in the Challenger League, Excellent Era wouldn't be forced to be so careful.
Excellent Era had studied Happy's strength in detail. Qiao Yifan, who had been suspected at first, had been proven to not be a shrewd character. He had been abandoned by Micrograss because he wasn't mature enough. A player like this was perfect for a grassroots team like Happy to snatch him up as a treasure.
Then there was Tang Rou. She had been in the limelight recently, but at the same time, Excellent Era had thoroughly studied her. Every time, it was because of the negativity, so normal people couldn't see the depth of her strength. However, Excellent Era wasn't a normal team. They had professional Glory related talents. Tang Rou's strength had been thoroughly investigated by these professionals.
On the other hand, Baozi, from a professional's point of view, was better as a rookie. When he fought, they couldn't see his strategy, but when he fought randomly, he would often directly kill his opponents. His mechanics were good, but to be able to defeat a youth from the training camp, that wasn't the only thing that mattered. His random attacks made the system-trained pro players scratch their heads in confusion.
However, as a famous team in the Pro Alliance, they wouldn't be stumped by this problem. In short, after Excellent Era seriously studied Happy's strength, they didn't feel like it was a burden. In the entire Challenger League, Excellent Era didn't feel like it was a burden. As a result, they didn't wave their cheques to sign players to strengthen their team. They just made full use of the team's current resources. Second-string players were the top of the first-string. The training camp promoted the youngsters to the second-string.
This kind of method was a healthy way to develop a team, especially when they had an absolute advantage. There was nothing wrong with letting go of their own echelon strength. As a result, Excellent Era didn't do anything in the transfer market and didn't cause any controversy. On the contrary, if they still needed to sign players to strengthen their team, it would be even more surprising.
Under these circumstances, Qiu Fei and his Battle Mage, Combat Form, were the first to become a member of the team. It was hard to say if there would be others after them because of the rules of the Challenger League. Before the offline matches began, the members could be changed.
Many players eagerly awaited the opening match of the new Pro Alliance. However, before that, the Challenger League began.
The Pro Alliance was held on Saturday every week. The Challenger League usually didn't clash with the Pro Alliance and would usually be held on Friday night. Online matches required the use of the in-game Arena to complete. The game company would also set up a special arena for the Challenge Competition. Every season, the rooms would be perfectly distributed. Then, each team would find their own room number in the competition schedule and go to the room to compete with their opponent. The system would naturally record the results.
Last season's finals ended early because of Samsara's strong performance. This made the Alliance decide to come up with a new competition system. Normally, the new format would be tested in the Challenger League. However, it seemed like the Alliance hadn't made any breakthroughs this summer. The elimination format announced at the start of the Challenger League was the same as before. Both teams would have one home game each and the winner would be decided based on the total number of points. As for who would win first or lose first, because there were no results to consider, it was decided by a coin toss.
Friday night, the first round of the Challenger League was about to begin. Because it was different from previous years, there were many people paying attention to the Challenger League. Excellent Era didn't need to be mentioned. Even though they were only fighting against a bunch of weak players, there were still hardcore fans who came to show their support for the team. Excellent Era's room was so packed that one couldn't see the end of it.
Happy might have been the talk of the town for the past half a month, but when the match began, the attention they received paled in comparison to Excellent Era. However, compared to the other grassroots teams, they were simply too beautiful. Excellent Era wasn't the only pro team in the Challenger League either. There were other pro teams that hadn't been able to return to the Pro Alliance after being relegated last season. But right now, their match room wasn't as lively as Happy's. Other than Mysterious Fantasy, who had been relegated along with Excellent Era last season. Even though they were a weak team, they still had some experience in the pro scene. Even though they had just been relegated, many of the hardcore fans hadn't given up yet. They still had hope for the team and came to show their support. The room they were in was no less lively than Happy's.
In the room, the participating teams each chose a side of the coin and were randomly assigned to their home and away teams. After the home team chose the map, they waited for the two teams to begin. There was a time limit to the preparation time. After the map was chosen, no matter which team didn't finish their preparations in time, the system would treat it as forfeit.
There were too many teams participating in the first round. All sorts of strange things could happen. Under the system's impartial judgment, there was no room for mercy. It was unknown how many teams left because they didn't want to play. However, for a team as ambitious as Happy, how could something so unreliable happen?
On the other hand, their opponents, Worldwide Insomnia, only showed up when the time came. The four panicked in the chat and asked each other why the other two hadn't shown up. When one of the four said, "He said he was going to sleep in the afternoon. Did he oversleep?", the spectators booed.
Weren't you guys Worldwide Insomnia? There was actually a team member who overslept? How ironic!
In the end, the four didn't manage to wait for their other two teammates to show up. The Challenger League was relaxed. Six people were allowed to register. When the actual match came, four people could still participate. However, the four of them had to follow the rules. How could they win?
Under the disappointed gazes of the spectators, Happy easily got off to a good start.
