Hand exercises, as the name suggested, were exercises that focused specifically on the hands. For pro players, the hands were undoubtedly the most important. Happy's conditions were limited, so they could only do general exercises. In the top Clubs with elite medical teams, they would even design exercises tailored to the different habits of each pro player. The effects would be better.
Apart from the hands, which needed to be protected, the overall mental state of the pro player also needed to be protected. If the hands weren't tired, but the mind was tired, that wouldn't do either. This type of recovery was even more complicated. Diet, living habits, biological clock, and so on all had an impact.
Team Happy's current training focused on helping Tang Rou, Baozi, Luo Ji, An Wenyi, and the others improve their skills. But for a pro team, apart from helping the players improve, another important use was to adjust the players' mental state.
Everyone would have their ups and downs, and through this kind of scientific and systematic adjustment, the ups and downs of the state would conform to the rhythm of the competition. Every Saturday night, the players would reach their best physical and mental state. This was the ideal result that every team hoped to achieve. As a result, training was actually a very deep field of study that required constant research by the people working in Glory.
Happy was gradually getting on the right path, so he naturally had to pay attention to these aspects. Unfortunately, Ye Xiu didn't understand the scientific basis for this type of training method. He could only rely on his own experience and arrange various training methods according to each player's condition.
And for a pro team, Happy's current training could be considered a practice match. It was a more comprehensive type of training. A normal team wouldn't arrange practice matches every day because this type of comprehensive training method consumed too much energy. Training was to adjust and improve, not to squeeze the players dry.
Today's training made everyone show signs of fatigue. The next day, Ye Xiu didn't organize everyone to hunt pro players in the game. Instead, he arranged for some light recovery training.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed and the week ended. In the new week, the bosses respawned. Happy's team was ready to go again after a day of recovery. Waiting in the game was too much of a waste of time. The good thing about having a guild was that they could only go online after receiving information.
As for the Clubs, in the new week, the pro players were also rubbing their hands in anticipation. However, it was clear that the pro teams weren't willing to let their pro players spend so much effort on this. They all set up a rotation system. Each team had a dozen or so pro players. They wouldn't send out the same few players every day. Everyone would switch days. When the day of the competition approached, most of them would retreat and focus on preparing for the competition.
On Happy's side, he had also grasped the rhythm of the major clubs and set out in a targeted manner. For example, there definitely wouldn't be any pro players in the early hours of the morning. They needed to have a good sleep schedule to ensure their physical condition! As a result, Happy followed the rhythm of the pro teams and immediately had an excellent work and rest schedule. During the day, they would actively wait for news from the guild. As soon as there was news, they would attack. They still didn't target the boss, only the pro players. They weren't picky. No matter if it was a core God, a main force, or a substitute, they would attack as soon as they found them.
Very soon, Happy's party, which did not focus on killing the Boss, became a thorn in the eyes of the other parties. It had to be known that everyone didn't go to wild Bosses for fun, but to compete with each other. Even though they fought with other pro players, in the grand scheme of things, everyone's goal was to kill the Boss. If they didn't have the Boss as their goal, they wouldn't fight. However, Happy wasn't so particular. These guys would attack any pro players they saw. They didn't care if they were related to the Boss or not. Once, they even found a suspected pro player in a main city and mercilessly killed him on the spot … ….
Because of Happy's interference, many guilds lost their advantage when they could have taken down the Boss. Many pro players had a bellyful of anger after stealing the Boss every day … …
In the blink of an eye, February passed. The Pro Alliance had completed four rounds of competition this month. At the end of the month, they began their routine summary of this month's competition, including the attendance of each match, the viewership of the TV broadcast, the viewership of the online broadcast, as well as some overall statistics. The Glory Alliance wasn't just the organizer of the competition. It could also be said that they were the operator. They needed to obtain all sorts of benefits through the Glory Pro League. From a certain perspective, the Glory Alliance could be seen as a company, and the chairman of the Alliance was the CEO of this company … …
As a result, when the summary of February's competition came out, many of the statistics were shocking. The most direct point was that the number of mistakes made by pro players in February's competition had skyrocketed. Compared to the summary of January's competition, this was an explosive increase.
And the distribution of mistakes was even more outrageous. The statistics showed that the top ten teams contributed to 70% of this explosive increase in mistakes.
What was going on with these teams?
The Alliance's staff analyzed further and found that the distribution of mistakes was quite balanced. Every team and every player contributed. Comparing it to the historical data, the staff discovered that this was a history-making February. Several teams and dozens of players all broke their all-time record for highest number of mistakes in February.
In reality, in this month's competition, there were quite a few jokes and discussions about mistakes. It was just that until the final summary of the data, no one had realized that mistakes would be so widespread.
What did mistakes mean?
Mistakes meant that their condition wasn't good and that their performance was poor.
If their performance was poor, then the quality of their matches would be poor. If the quality of their matches was poor, then the audience wouldn't like them. If the audience didn't like them, then they would lose the market. For the Glory Alliance, this was an extremely frightening thing. What had happened? What had caused so many teams to collectively fall into a slump? And they were all powerhouses in the Alliance. On the other hand, it was the teams below the top ten that were particularly bashful in this month's increase in mistakes. They actually lost to the powerhouses in the area of making mistakes.
The Alliance didn't dare to be negligent. After organizing the February competition summary, they immediately gathered their staff to study it.
The Alliance was also filled with talent. There was no lack of retired pro players working in the Alliance. This February, these teams, these players, just what special things had happened? These professionals quickly found the answer.
With the new update, every team needed new materials to upgrade their Silver weapons. As a result, starting in January, every team gradually had pro players enter the game to help them. After the Spring Festival, this phenomenon reached its peak. Even on the day of a pro match, there would be some pro players who didn't have much interest in the Alliance, wasting their energy in the game.
"I have a set of information here." One of the staff members participating in the meeting handed out a stack of information to each of the participants. "What is shown here is a complete monthly summary of the previous Glory updates. Everyone, please pay attention to the data in green and compare it to the average data in red. You can clearly see that whenever an update happens, the pro matches will be affected. And the most direct change is the increase in mistakes. There are many reasons for this. Changes in equipment, changes in skills, as well as players spending their energy in the game to obtain materials for equipment … "
"We've discussed this phenomenon a long time ago, haven't we?" The chairman of the Alliance, Feng Xianjun, skimmed over the information and then placed it back on the table. "But this time, the explosive increase in mistakes clearly doesn't follow the pattern of the past. This is what we urgently need to clarify in this meeting. According to the game's feedback, even though the Level 75 update took several years to create, it wasn't a complete redesign of the game. All of the developments were within the original rules, so logically speaking, the mistakes affected by the update should follow the pattern of the past changes. No, it should be said that as the level of Glory increases, the ability to adapt to the latest update should be even stronger. The impact this time should be even smaller. This is the pattern that the data has always shown us. But this time, there is an explosive increase in mistakes. There must be another reason. "
"How about … we organize a discussion between these teams and the pro players … The data is so clear. I'm sure they know the reason." Someone suggested.
"Let's do that …" Chairman Feng Xianjun nodded his head and approved this plan.
Soon after, the Alliance sent out people to actively visit the teams and understand the situation. Very quickly, there was a report. There was almost no need to summarize it. It could be seen that the reasons discussed by each team were shockingly consistent.
Ye Qiu, Team Happy.
These two keywords made Chairman Feng Xianjun speechless for a long time.
"This kid …" Looking at this name, Feng Xianjun felt like his migraine was about to flare up.
As the most glorious pro player in Glory's history, Ye Qiu's position didn't need to be discussed. But this player with such outstanding results and countless fans wasn't very well received in the Alliance.
The previous chairman of the Alliance, Jin Chengyi, had once lamented that Ye Qiu's existence had delayed the development of the Glory Alliance by at least two years.
Many people interpreted this as Ye Qiu's monopoly on the championship, which caused the lack of suspense in the early stages of the Pro Alliance to become less interesting. But those who understood the industry understood that Chairman Jin Chengyi's words were actually referring to Ye Qiu's lack of cooperation with the promotion.
As the founder of the Excellent Era, the undisputed number one player in Glory, Ye Qiu should have been the spokesperson of Glory during that era. But unfortunately, this number one player refused to participate in any activities. The Alliance couldn't use his popularity to promote the competition. In the end, all of the signature players that had been established had been defeated by this person. This made the Alliance extremely embarrassed. Countless Glory players even suspected that there was some kind of shady deal going on behind the scenes, some kind of unspoken rule. Otherwise, why wouldn't it be Ye Qiu?
Even though Ye Qiu later released a statement to clarify the matter, the players were still happy to use their imaginations, making the Alliance's face turn ashen.
Without the support of Ye Qiu, the Alliance's promotion efforts could be said to be twice the effort for half the results. This was why Jin Chengyi lamented that Ye Qiu's existence had delayed the development of the Glory Alliance by two years.
