As soon as the opening match ended, all sorts of news and topics began to spread.
Even though Team Tyranny's four ace players made them the most eye-catching team in the new season, after the opening match, the most eye-catching player wasn't Zhang Jiale, Lin Jingyan, Han Wenqing, or Zhang Xinjie.
Lu Hanwen.
Known as Blue Rain's most important transfer this season, Lu Hanwen. After the All Star player left the team, he directly entered the match as part of the main roster. The youngest Glory esports player in history.
That day, Lu Hanwen was under protection and didn't attend the post-match press conference. But how could the reporters' enthusiasm be so easily dismissed? After the opening match, every team received requests for interviews with individual players, and Lu Hanwen had become the king of popularity.
Was Lu Hanwen's performance really comparable to a God's? That wasn't necessarily the case, but the fact that he was 14 years old gave him a lot of extra points. If he had this kind of skill at 14 years old, if he continued to improve, when his skills matured, wouldn't he be even more amazing?
Blue Rain protected their young players, but they didn't blindly hide them. Their ultimate goal was to give them a good environment to grow in. After the opening match, Blue Rain gave Lu Hanwen some guidance on how to deal with reporters, and in the end, they agreed to the interview. However, in the end, it wasn't a press conference with a bunch of reporters competing for answers. In the end, Blue Rain had an exclusive interview with the most influential eSports Home. The two sides found a quiet place where they wouldn't be disturbed and sat down to slowly chat. In addition, Blue Rain would also do a final review of the eSports Home's press release.
Under this arrangement, they weren't afraid that Lu Hanwen would say something that he shouldn't say due to his lack of experience, which would affect his career. And as the most authoritative eSports media, eSports Home wouldn't irresponsibly twist words out of context just to catch people's attention.
Soon, Lu Hanwen's interview appeared on the front page of Monday's Esports Home. Through questions and answers, the players were able to learn more about this young player who had become famous in one battle.
Youthful, optimistic, and motivated!
This was Esports Home's final evaluation of Lu Hanwen. The interview naturally ended with Lu Hanwen's blessings. At the same time, all of the Glory fans began to look forward to it. What could this youngest contestant do?
Of course, there would be a lot of other content in the Esports Weekly after the front page.
For example, for a team that had undergone a major change, the style of play in the opening match was also a topic that attracted a lot of attention. Speaking of playstyles, there were two strong teams in the opening battle, but both of them had the rare combination of two classes.
Blue Rain, Micrograss.
These two teams already had two top class characters in Troubling Rain and Vaccaria, but in the team competition, they each had a character of the same class appear in the starting lineup.
Drifting Cloud, Mu En. It was the same class as Troubling Rain and Vaccaria. Under the control of the two rookies, they began to operate.
It was extremely rare to have two classes. Currently, the only active class in the Alliance was Team Void's Ghostblade Duo. Sobbing Ghost and Carved Ghost were both Ghostblades. But the Ghostblade class had a completely different playstyle. A Phantom Demon and a Sword Demon could be considered two different classes. For Void's Ghostblade Duo, Sobbing Ghost always played the role of a Phantom Demon, while Carved Ghost would occasionally change his skill list. Through this method, the Ghostblade Duo was able to evolve into various forms.
On the side of Blue Rain and Micrograss. Micrograss wasn't too bad because Witches had a lot of different playstyles. However, Wang Jiexi was known as the Magician. His Vaccaria wasn't any playstyle for normal Witches, but rather his own unique set of skill choices. Vaccaria wasn't like the Body Technique Style or the Tool Style Style Witches. Vaccaria focused on all of them and used all of them. As a result, because of the restriction of skill points, Vaccaria's skill levels couldn't be perfect, and his skill tree choices weren't something that normal people could understand.
And now, Gao Yingjie's Kind Tree, who was fighting alongside Micrograss and Vaccaria, wasn't a common Body Technique Style or Tool Style Style from the opening match, but it was also different from Vaccaria's. Current analysis concluded that this was a playstyle that was inherited from Wang Jiexi's Witch playstyle, but the skill tree choice was based on Gao Yingjie's personal habits and style.
What kind of coordination would these two Witches, who didn't walk the same path, produce? Everyone was waiting to see.
On the side of Blue Rain, the Blade Master class didn't have any clear differences. It was just that the various sword moves were chosen according to one's preferences. Troubling Rain wasn't as unique as Vaccaria, and Drifting Cloud was even more of a standard Blade Master. What kind of sparks could these two players of the same class create? The report had some analysis of the opening match, but it wasn't in-depth. It would have to be seen in the long run.
Apart from that, Tyranny's team, Hundred Blossoms' team, Wind Howl's team … all of the teams would be evaluated by the media after the opening match. It was hard to say whether this evaluation was accurate, but at least at the skill level of the players, this sort of analysis would be needed to help them understand the inner meaning of the match.
In comparison, the Challenger League, which had also finished its opening match, only took up a small half of the page in the Esports Home. Of this small half of the page, half of it was to introduce how prosperous the Challenger League had been, and then to list which teams had once been in the Pro League. Of course, Excellent Era, as the most important team, was also given a lot of praise. As for Team Happy, they were also mentioned. Even though it was just a sentence, "Team Happy, who has received a lot of attention recently, easily obtained full points in the opening match against an opponent with an incomplete lineup."
Even though it was just a sentence, it was clear that Esports Home was paying attention to Team Happy. Among the 14218 teams, there was only one team that would make such a special announcement. Even for Excellent Era, they were only grouped together with the other struggling pro teams and passed by with the phrase "they all got full points".
Even so, Chen Guo wasn't satisfied when she saw the report. She felt that the team they had encountered was so hilarious, and the fact that two of them were absent was so hilarious. They could have written more about it! She didn't know that the 14218 teams participating in the Challenger League had all sorts of names. If she were to pick the names of the teams to criticize, World Insomnia wouldn't even be on the list. As for the fact that two of them were absent, who knew how many of them had been absent in the first round. Two of them being absent in the first round was already considered rare. World Insomnia had made such a breakthrough in the first round. Not getting a single point in the first round, and knowing that their opponents were strong, they didn't even say goodbye in the second round and disappeared without a trace. Team Happy crushed their first opponent just like that.
The next day, in the second round of the Pro League, the focus was obviously on the continuation of the first round. Chen Guo originally wanted to follow the trend and broadcast Team Blue Rain's match. After all, Lu Hanwen was the new season's first highlight. But looking at the schedule, Blue Rain's opponent was Team Conquering Clouds, a typical mid-tier team. Blue Rain playing against such a team didn't seem very interesting. Even if Lu Hanwen played beautifully, he might be seen as lacking in skill.
Soon after, Chen Guo looked at the schedule and saw that there was a match between Tyranny and Royal Style.
Team Royal Style had Tian Sen and Peaceful Hermit, famous characters and characters. Then there were the four ace players, so this match seemed to be even more interesting.
Chen Guo's choice didn't disappoint him. This match was of a high level. The four ace players' stable performance robbed Team Royal Style of all hope. These four had clearly just gathered together this summer, but it seemed like they had been working together for a long time. The tactical understanding of veterans was incomparable to young players, especially when these four were all ace players. Team Tyranny seemed to have skipped the break-in period and had already begun adjusting their efficiency.
In the same round, the strong teams all obtained satisfactory points. Except for Team Hundred Blossoms. They still hadn't found their old feeling. In the second round, they faced the weak Team Radiant and only obtained three points.
After the two rounds, two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.
Pro players only cared about the Pro League. Apart from the competition, they actively practiced and adjusted their condition for the competition. As for Team Happy? They were much busier. Apart from their hard work in training, they would still be led by Ye Xiu to fight BOSSes in the game.
Loulan Slash and the others had left Heavenly Swords, but the other guilds still had their original members. In the end, the only thing missing was Loulan Slash and the other elites. The other teams didn't have any pro players to help them. After two weeks, Ye Xiu's Alliance naturally had the most outstanding results. The materials that Ye Xiu had gathered were all sorted into categories and stacked up properly.
Everything seemed to be progressing in the right order. But after the week ended, on the Monday of the new week, the matchups for the new round of the Challenger League were announced. Team Happy's opponent: Team Everlasting.
Team Everlasting's name was much more low-key compared to the other teams with flourishing names. And this seemingly standardized format seemed to be telling the origin of this team.
Team Everlasting, a team that had been relegated in Season 7.
In Season 8's Challenger League, they had fallen in the final round.
They didn't give up. Now that Season 9 had arrived, after a beautiful start, Team Everlasting and Team Happy were matched up against each other.
This result made many people's mouths twitch.
But after a short moment, those who had been waiting for Team Happy to make a fool of themselves cheered.
On Team Happy's side, Wei Chen's expression was ugly.
Even though they were the losers last season, Team Everlasting was still a pro team. After three years in the Pro League, they had accumulated some foundation. In any case, they were much stronger than Worldwide Sleepless.
Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu worriedly. At this time, she hoped to find confidence from Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu didn't disappoint her. After seeing this matchup, he was pleased: "Not Excellent Era, not bad!"
