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 their heads. 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 this team. She clicked on their members and copied down their classes. In the official team information, there was only information about their classes. If you wanted to know anything else, you had 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 their opponents and observe their tactics and strength.
Of course, this was only for teams that had 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 after being eliminated from the Alliance, they didn't have any special rights to participate in the Challenger League. 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 Excellent Era's name. She almost broke out in laughter.
Too bad.
Chen Guo looked at the names of the teams on the screen. She sighed and laughed at the same time.
Names like "Undefeated Eliminated Excellent Era Cosmos Team", "Excellent Era I'm Your Lifelong Rival", "Excellent Era's Challenger League Scenery", and so on. It was obvious that they were mocking Excellent Era's team names. These teams definitely weren't here to participate in the Challenger League seriously. They were just here to mock Excellent Era. A powerhouse team! Of course, there were many fans, but there were also many who hated them. This kind of sarcastic and boring behavior made Chen Guo, an Excellent Era black-hearted person, feel a lot more spirited.
She really wanted to go in and take a look. Of course, they were just some random teams that were just there to make up the numbers. In the end, he found the real Team Excellent Era and looked at the information of the current registered members of Team Excellent Era.
"Huh? Excellent Era has two Battle Mages!" Chen Guo was actually very familiar with the lineup of Excellent Era. However, looking at those familiar names now made her feel different. Among the familiar names, there was now an unfamiliar name. Combat Form, a Battle Mage.
"Who is this?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu. No matter how familiar she was with Excellent Era, she couldn't compare to this person. Now that Su Mucheng had returned to the team, there was nothing 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. Because of 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 added in the All Star level Xiao Shiqin, three of them had left this summer. Xiao Shiqin was an All Star God, but he wasn't at the point where he could command three people at once. Even with his All Star level character, Life Extinguisher, it was still the same.
Excellent Era also needed to be filled in, but their status as a relegated team was very awkward. Choosing a pro player from the pro scene, not to mention how many pro players had Xiao Shiqin's confidence, just Excellent Era's signing of a pro player with a high salary to play in the Challenger League was probably too much in anyone's eyes.
Excellent Era's original main roster had only lost two players after replacing Xiao Shiqin, 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 this time, 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.
Tang Rou had been in the limelight recently, but at the same time, she had been thoroughly studied by Excellent Era. Every time, it was because of her negativity that normal people couldn't see the depth of her strength. But Excellent Era wasn't a normal player. They had professional Glory related talents. Tang Rou's strength, in front of this kind of professional eyes, had been completely investigated.
On the other hand, Baozi, from a professional's point of view, was stronger as a rookie. When he fought, they couldn't see through his tactics, but when he fought randomly, he would often directly defeat his opponents. His mechanics were not bad, but to be able to defeat a youth from the training camp, that wasn't the only thing that could be relied on. 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 method was a very healthy way to develop a team, especially when they had an absolute advantage. It was understandable for them to let go and develop 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 under these circumstances, 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 week, the rooms for the competition would be perfectly distributed. Then, each team would find their own room number in the competition schedule and go to the room as scheduled 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 format. Under normal circumstances, 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. In Excellent Era's match room, there were so many people 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 was still a bit lacking compared 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 also pro teams from last season, the season before last, and even the season before last that hadn't been able to return to the Pro Alliance. But right now, their room wasn't as lively as Happy's. Besides Mysterious Fantasy, who had been relegated along with Excellent Era last season. Even though they were a weak team, they had been in the pro scene for a long time and had accumulated some experience. Now that they had 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 wasn't any 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 games. 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 fight. 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 two teammates to show up. The Challenger League was relaxed. Six people were allowed to register. If four people appeared in the actual match, they could still participate. However, the four people had to follow the rules. How could they win?
Under the disappointed gazes of the spectators, Happy easily got off to a good start.
