Of course, the two girls weren't in a good mood after losing two stockings in a row. Especially since they were worried that this would affect their career prospects. And now, after finding out that both of their losses were closely related to Ye Xiu, the two girls couldn't find their rationality and calmness.
Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? What kind of person was this?
The two girls complained, while angrily blacklisting Ye Xiu, Lord Grim, Listened Promise, and so on. Originally, the two girls had a decent impression of him. Even though he stole all of their stockings in the end, they still worked together to screw over a powerhouse team like Excellent Era. This sort of satisfaction filled the emptiness of not getting any stockings. But after finding out Listened Promise's true identity, this satisfaction disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by the feeling that they had also been screwed over. Twice!
When they looked at the Christmas event leaderboards, compared to the normal players, their team's results were still outstanding. However, after losing two rounds of zero, they only stood out a little. Their stunning performance on the first day was nowhere to be seen now, especially when compared to the leading teams at the front.
As for Excellent Era, after this round of zero, it was destined that they wouldn't be able to surpass the current second place team, Lord Grim and Bao Zi Invasion duo.
Looking at the two's results, Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack gnashed their teeth in anger.
But what was done couldn't be undone. Using this event, they wouldn't be able to shine as brilliantly as they did on the first day. The two girls were more worried about what the other teams would think if they noticed this. This made the two of them value every invitation even more.
In reality, the two girls didn't have much time to think about it.
There were two transfer periods in the Glory Pro Alliance. One was the summer transfer period, which was July and August. There was plenty of time, and it was also the transition period between the two seasons. All sorts of important transfers happened during this transfer period.
The other was the winter transfer window, which was in December.
December was a little over a third of the season. In reality, when December was first set as the winter transfer period, the number of teams in the Alliance was not yet 20. There were not that many matches in a season, so December was right in the middle of the season. Later on, as the number of teams increased and the number of competitions increased, December became more and more popular. The Alliance had once thought of moving the winter transfer window to January, but the various teams all felt that it was better to move it closer to December.
This was because the winter transfer window usually did not have any major transfers that had been planned for a long time. Instead, there were more hasty transfers that were done at the last minute. For example, if a new summer player was discovered to be completely unsuitable for the team, they would make a change in the winter. Then, if a player suddenly got injured and could no longer continue competing, they might get a replacement in the winter. Then, if a player announced his retirement like Ye Xiu did, they would naturally have to find a replacement. Therefore, for the battle teams, they naturally hoped that this sort of repair could be carried out as soon as possible. This way, there would at least be more matches left for the teams to work hard after solving their lineup problems.
As a result, the discussion on whether or not to move the winter transfer window to January was dragged on and on. At least for Season 9, the winter transfer window was still in December. And this season's December was like most winter transfer windows. It was as cold as winter. The teams that made trades were all trading more than they bought.
Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack weren't pro players yet. They could be considered free transfers, but they could only do so when the transfer window opened. It was December 26th. There were only five days until the transfer window closed. If they wanted to join a pro team earlier, they had to make a decision within these five days. The two had originally been very confident, but after facing Team Excellent Era's players, they realized that actual battle and watching the broadcast weren't the same thing. Adding on the fact that the results of the second day's event were so terrible, the two began to worry that a long delay might lead to trouble. If they didn't make a decision during this transfer window, would they still receive so many enthusiastic invitations next summer?
It was time to make a decision for the future!
The two girls logged out of the game and carefully discussed their career prospects.
On Ye Xiu's side, Listened Promise and Rain had only completed the first round of stocking events. Naturally, they continued with the second and third rounds. The coincidence of encountering Excellent Era didn't happen again. However, Excellent Era had gotten zero out of the three rounds of events today, so their final results immediately became pitiful.
"Hahahaha, beautifully done! Seeing your performance, I'm more and more confident that we can beat Team Excellent Era. "With this result, the happiest person was obviously Wei Chen. Team Excellent Era's result was the same as missing out on a round of events. Unless their team also gave up on a round.
"The number one spot on the team rankings is already in the bag!" Wei Chen laughed proudly.
"Aren't you celebrating too early? Please open your eyes a little wider. "Ye Xiu said.
"What? What else is going on? " Wei Chen exclaimed. Then, he saw Ye Xiu poke at the screen. The team he pointed at was none other than his and Baozi's Lord Grim and Bao Zi Invasion duo.
The two of them had gotten a grand slam in the round against Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack, so their stocking count was naturally not low. Excellent Era's team had been shaken off, but their duo was still closely following behind Wei Chen's team. It had to be said that if Wei Chen's team was unlucky tomorrow, or if Ye Xiu's team was incredibly lucky and got another grand slam, then the number one spot on the team rankings might very well be taken by the duo.
"Don't mess around." Wei Chen suddenly became serious, "Looking at grand slams, the rewards are given out individually, so we have reason to suspect that the final ranking rewards will be the same. Our number one spot will get five rewards, while your number one spot will only get two. It's such a simple math, so you have to be very careful with the math. "
"Ha ha ha ha ha." Ye Xiu laughed dryly and got up to look at everyone: "Everyone, rest early today. We'll clear out all the quests tomorrow morning. There's still a match tonight."
"It's just a match. As long as we don't forget, what's there to worry about?" Wei Chen said disapprovingly.
Ye Xiu couldn't say anything about his attitude.
Apart from Team Everlasting, the other teams Happy ran into were all normal teams. If Ye Xiu seriously emphasized that they shouldn't be careless against these kinds of opponents, then it would be too much.
December 27th, the last day of the Christmas event, was also the first round of the ninth round of the Challenger League.
Of the 14218 teams participating in the Challenger League, after eight rounds of battles and adjustments, there were exactly 40 teams left in the ninth round.
The final 20 teams would be decided in the ninth round. These 20 teams would be divided into four groups of five teams. First, they would participate in a round-robin tournament. The top two teams of each group would enter the knockout stage. The final winners would be the champions of this season's Challenger League, the final team that would open the door to the Pro Alliance.
In other words, starting from these 20 teams, the Alliance would organize a unified offline competition for everyone. The offline matches would also be broadcasted by sponsors and media. The teams that had fought their way to this point had the right to get a share of the spoils.
For normal teams, being able to reach this point was definitely a success. However, since they had already reached this point, there might be a lot of teams that wanted to participate that would start to fantasize about entering the pro scene. A player team that was able to fight their way to this point did indeed have some outstanding strength. However, compared to a pro team like Excellent Era, their skill was still quite uneven.
It was currently the ninth round, the final round of the offline matches. What was the most important factor in whether or not they could pass this round? Of course, it was luck.
No matter how outstanding a team was, if they were drawn against Excellent Era, they would be doomed. However, out of the 39 teams, there was bound to be one that they couldn't win against. Happy was the most nervous in this round. Because there were the least number of teams this time, the chances of drawing Excellent Era were the highest.
In the end, Tearful Face, who had drawn Excellent Era, was left to someone else. Happy was finally able to relax. Encountering Excellent Era so early and being eliminated was already fated to not happen. Because after this round, even if they were drawn into the same group as Excellent Era, Happy would still have a spot because the top two teams would advance.
As for encountering Excellent Era after that, that would be the final battle, which was also the end of the Challenger League. This was in line with Happy's expectations. Things that were part of his plan naturally wouldn't be as panicky as before.
On the 27th, Happy's team finished the Christmas quests early in the morning. Wei Chen's team finally secured first place on the team leaderboards. As for the individual leaderboards, the final first place was actually Mo Fan's Deception, followed by Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle and Tang Rou's Han Yanrou. Apart from that, the three players' alts were also at the top of the leaderboards. Their results weren't bad.
The rewards couldn't be exchanged today. They had to wait until the day was over and the event closed. Only then could they receive their stockings and receive their rewards.
Everyone in Happy could be considered to have seen the big picture. They wouldn't lose their composure just because of the event rewards. After finishing the event quests, everyone made appropriate preparations for the match that night.
Their opponent that night was Team Crack, a normal player team. After Ye Xiu looked through some of their previous matches, he was even more certain of this point. As a result, the match that night wasn't too stressful for Happy. On the other hand, Team Crack was in a very bad mood. When they first drew their lot and saw that it wasn't Excellent Era, the team members cheered. But when they saw that it was Happy, their cheers came to an abrupt end.
Team Happy, who had reached this point, wasn't a team that would be taken lightly. They had already been in the Esports Home several times. Even though many people scolded them for overestimating themselves for beating Excellent Era, they had to admit that they wouldn't be able to beat Happy.
That night, in the first round of the ninth match, Team Happy swept Team Crack and entered the offline knockout stage. It could be said that it was a foregone conclusion.
At the same time, Team Excellent Era also swept their opponents and entered the offline knockout stage.
"What a pity … Wouldn't it have been great if they had been eliminated here?" Chen Guo said regretfully.
Ye Xiu smiled. The match with Excellent Era would have come in the end. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
