Compared to the previous chairman, Feng Xianjun's luck was actually quite good. When he started to take over the Alliance, Ye Qiu was already in the limelight. The Golden Generation was on the rise, and the pro scene was filled with an explosion of talent.
But even though his luck was good, Feng Xianjun also had his worries.
Because there were too many talents, the pro scene never had a player as dominant as Ye Qiu. Who should be the spokesperson for the Alliance? This made Feng Xianjun feel quite troubled.
Based on results alone, after Ye Qiu, there were three teams that won the championship: Tyranny, Micrograss, Blue Rain …...
Team Tyranny's ace player, Han Wenqing, Ye Qiu's nemesis, finally destroyed Excellent Era's dominance after Ye Qiu's three consecutive championships. That year, Feng Xianjun took over as the chairman of the Alliance. As soon as he took over, he wanted to make Han Wenqing the number one player. But in the end, Han Wenqing's domineering image, no matter how he handled it, was like a promotional photo for a crime movie …...
In many people's eyes, the game was already a scourge. Adding on a criminal like this as the spokesperson, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like they were trying to suppress the Alliance. In the end, Feng Xianjun hastily stopped this plan.
After Tyranny, Micrograss won the championship. Their ace player, Wang Jiexi, was a gorgeous player known as the Magician. Unfortunately, Wang Jiexi's appearance had obvious flaws. His large and small eyes often looked particularly scary in front of the camera. Wang Jiexi's image was a bit difficult to manipulate. However, after Ye Qiu, Wang Jiexi's two championships were without a doubt the most important. He could be said to be the leader of the Alliance during this period of time. Towards him, the Alliance didn't directly avoid him like they did towards Han Wenqing. However, they didn't show much enthusiasm either.
And between Micrograss's two championships, Blue Rain won one. The two players in the team were the famous Golden Generation. Their image and temperament were also impressive. Unfortunately, Feng Xianjun personally disliked Huang Shaotian. In the eyes of older people, Huang Shaotian's talkative personality was a sign of instability. Feng Xianjun didn't want the spokesperson of the Alliance to be such a person.
In the blink of an eye, four seasons had passed during Feng Xianjun's tenure. Without any key targets, he could only spread the net. As a result, the star-making movement was also very successful. Countless popular star players appeared in the Alliance, and this could be seen from the All-Star Weekend in the past. However, although the stars were bright, they still lacked the brightest one until Zhou Zekai appeared.
The appearance of this player had pushed the Alliance's star making movement to its peak. He was born with many advantages and conditions, and then perfectly achieved one eye-catching achievement after another.
Team Samsara was now an upstart in the Alliance. But before Zhou Zekai joined, it was just a weak team that couldn't even make it into the post-season.
But because of Zhou Zekai's addition, the salted fish made a comeback. From a weak team, they became the defending champions. Samsara's sudden rise was unprecedented in the current Alliance. Apart from Samsara, Excellent Era, Tyranny, Micrograss, and Blue Rain were all old powerhouses that had established their foundations since the early days of the Alliance. They had the strongest guilds in the game, which was the best proof of their solid foundations. Samsara, on the other hand, had gone from a weak team to breaking the monopoly of these powerhouses. Everything had started with a genius like Zhou Zekai.
Samsara was definitely one of the powerhouses. Zhou Zekai was the undisputed number one player in the Alliance. The leading figure that Feng Xianjun had been waiting for for a long time had finally appeared.
In reality, from Season 7 onwards, the Alliance's inclination towards Zhou Zekai was already very clear. However, since it was a competitive event, without a championship trophy, the persuasiveness would always be lacking. And all of this became a thing of the past after Season 8. Zhou Zekai, from the people to the officials, stood at the undisputed peak. Countless media outlets also cheered for him, believing that Zhou Zekai's appearance had pushed the Alliance to new heights.
From the Alliance's statistics, Feng Xianjun wouldn't deny this point. In Samsara's championship year, the Alliance's overall income did indeed increase explosively compared to the previous seasons. And in the new season, there were countless highly discussed transfers, which caused the amount of attention Season 9 received to reach an all-time high.
The Glory Alliance was heading towards its next step of prosperity, but at this time, there was a sudden wave of mistakes. Feng Xianjun couldn't help but worry. From the current statistics, this month's crazy mistakes hadn't attracted the attention of the players yet.
First of all, very few players would pay attention to all the matches. Second of all, players wouldn't pay attention to the statistics. But even if the players didn't pay attention, how could the media, which specialized in finding topics to talk about, ignore it? The media's habit was to review the situation at the end of the month. This February's strangeness couldn't escape the media's attention. It would probably be widely reported soon. After the players realized what had happened, the Alliance had to give them a reasonable explanation. The truth that they had gathered from the various teams was not a pretty explanation. Were they really going to tell the players that this month's poor quality of matches and many mistakes were because the pro players were addicted to the game?
That would be too comical!
What made Feng Xianjun feel even more troubled was that he couldn't stop the competition between the teams in the game, because this was also the guarantee for the Alliance's continued development. Creating an Alliance without breaking away from the game had always been the Glory Alliance's specialty. In the early stages of the Alliance, it was precisely because of this design that was very close to the players and fans that the Glory eSports scene opened up among the many eSports events and prospered step by step until today.
ESports all relied on video games. And for a game to be so popular for so long, whether it was an online game or a standalone game, it could be said to be a miracle. This was a win-win situation for both the Glory game and the Glory Alliance. Neither side had ever considered breaking up this special model.
But what made Feng Xianjun gloomy was that if it was just a competition between the teams, it wouldn't have resulted in the current situation. The statistics from the previous updates were very clear on this point. This time, it was all because of Ye Qiu and his Team Happy. The feedback from the various teams seemed to prove this point.
Ye Qiu …. Was he going to find that guy and tell him not to mess around?
Feng Xianjun thought about it and shook his head. First of all, this request was too broad. The other side had no reason to listen. Even if it was reasonable, was Ye Qiu the type of person who would casually listen to someone else's orders? If he was, Chairman Jin Chengyi wouldn't have said that "Ye Qiu's existence has delayed the development of the Glory Alliance for at least two years".
In the end, what Feng Xianjun could obtain was from the various teams. Moreover, he couldn't directly ban them either. He could only persuade them and communicate with them. Feng Xianjun pondered for a bit and then decided to use his own name to gather the relevant members of the top ten teams in the Glory Alliance. He was going to have a meeting with everyone.
It was common for the Alliance to gather the various teams for a meeting. February was a special month. The various teams also had something on their minds, so they silently responded to the chairman's summons and came to the Alliance headquarters to drink tea together.
Feng Xianjun didn't name anyone. The various teams came according to the standard meeting: the Club manager and team captain.
Ten teams, twenty people. These people were all familiar with the large round table in the Alliance headquarters' conference room 1. Sure enough, this meeting wasn't too formal. There wasn't even a seating arrangement. When the various teams arrived, they greeted each other and casually found a place to sit. Around the same time, Chairman Feng Xianjun also arrived.
The conference room was silent. Everyone knew what was going on. Because in front of everyone was a newspaper. February 28th, Friday's edition of Esports Home. On the front page, there were all sorts of eye-catching numbers. The total number of mistakes made in the Glory Pro League in February was highlighted. Under this, it was compared to the number of mistakes made in other periods, letting the players know just how shocking the total number of mistakes made in February was.
"Ahem ….." Feng Xianjun seemed to intentionally or unintentionally press his hand on the newspaper in front of him. He cleared his throat and finally opened his mouth.
"This situation isn't too good ….." Feng Xianjun got straight to the point.
"Now that it's been reported, there's no way to avoid the effects. What I hope is that everyone can quickly get back on track." Feng Xianjun said.
The various managers and team captains all bitterly smiled. How could they not want to? But in the current situation, they couldn't have the best of both worlds. They couldn't not fight for materials in the game. And if they fought for materials, their condition would definitely be affected. Everyone wanted to have the best of both worlds, but wasn't there no other way?
"Actually ….. if it weren't for Ye Qiu causing trouble, it wouldn't be like this." The team captains also took turns to fight for bosses. They had been on the front lines before, so they had the most right to speak. Currently ranked tenth in the league, Team Thunder's current captain, Liu Hao, decisively exposed Ye Qiu.
During the summer transfer between Excellent Era and Thunder, former vice-captain Liu Hao and Excellent Era, along with their team member He Ming, had become chips in Excellent Era's acquisition of Xiao Shiqin. In the end, when he arrived at Thunderclap, Liu Hao was chosen as the general among the dwarves, and in the end, was appointed as the captain. But how could the current Thunder enter Liu Hao's eyes? From the first day he arrived, Liu Hao had already been looking for a better way out. But at least he knew that if he wanted a better future, he had to perform well. In the past half of the season, as the captain, he had performed exceptionally well in the matches, leading Thunder to rank tenth. They even had a chance of making the playoffs.
Liu Hao obviously cherished his achievements, so he worked even harder. He even fought for wild bosses for Thunder, hoping to make the team stronger. If there was a chance of making the playoffs, any pro player would do their best.
Unfortunately, Thunder's in-game guild wasn't strong, and with Ye Qiu causing trouble, Thunder's inability to fight for bosses made Liu Hao's face turn red. With a bellyful of resentment, Liu Hao obviously tried his best to point it at Ye Qiu. His resentment towards Ye Qiu had nothing to do with whether or not he was in Excellent Era.
