Chang Xian came because of Team Happy, but Cao Guangcheng was different. As a famous reporter in the esports scene, if it wasn't for Team Excellent Era, he wouldn't have bothered to cover a small event like the Challenger League. As a result, he came this time, but only to follow Excellent Era. He had no interest in the other teams.
Happy was a hot topic, and Cao Guangcheng admitted it. But what could he do? No matter how hot a topic it was in the Challenger League, it wouldn't attract much attention. More importantly, as a team that would be eliminated sooner or later, what was the point of Happy being a topic of discussion?
Cao Guangcheng was happy that Chang Xian didn't come to compete with him for Excellent Era's resources, so he encouraged him to report Happy well. From Cao Guangcheng's point of view, with the end of the Challenger League, his year of suffering had finally come to an end. Returning to Excellent Era in the Alliance, with their current lineup, they should be a contender for the championship, right?
But speaking of which, Su Mucheng would definitely leave the team at the end of the season. That would mean one less All Star player. However, since the new Pro League was returning to the Alliance, Cao Guangcheng believed that Excellent Era would definitely invest more to wash away the humiliation they suffered in the Challenger League this year. With Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin, these two Gods, Excellent Era was already very competitive. If they invited another God, the new Excellent Era would definitely be filled with even more highlights and create even more news. When that time came, as the team reporter for Excellent Era, he would naturally have limitless glory.
Thinking of this, the awkwardness of the past year didn't seem so unbearable. Looking at Chang Xian's Happy laughter, Cao Guangcheng sneered. From his point of view, this was the last celebration before the execution. He wouldn't join in the fun.
After Cao Guangcheng finished the interviewer's registration at the reception desk and received his media pass, Cao Guangcheng left. He did not linger because he knew that the Excellent Era would not come.
The Challenger League was arranged to treat all teams equally, and Excellent Era was no exception. However, Excellent Era was a powerhouse in the past. It was already embarrassing enough for them to participate in the Challenger League. They didn't want to be ridiculed by these grassroots players. Therefore, they declined the Alliance's offer, preferring to find another place out of their own pockets. As for Cao Guangcheng, as a reporter, he would not be arranged by the Alliance. He had his own food and lodging. He felt that he was a cut above the rest, so he disdained to hang around here and stayed at the hotel that Excellent Era had booked.
When he left the hotel arranged by the Alliance, Cao Guangcheng saw the two reporters sent by City H for the challenge. They were standing at the entrance of the hotel, looking expectant. Cao Guangcheng knew what they were waiting for and laughed in his heart. However, when he passed by, he was recognized by his two colleagues. They hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey, Reporter Cao, when did you get here?" When the two saw Cao Guangcheng, they hurriedly went up to him. Cao Guangcheng hadn't made any good news in the past year, but it wasn't enough to make these two look down on him. Those who were sent to cover the Challenger League were not important people in Esports Home.
"Hehe, I just got here." Cao Guangcheng smiled as he greeted his two colleagues.
"Since we have nothing to do, why don't we interview you first?" One of the reporters said half-jokingly.
"How can there be nothing to do? Aren't there many teams here?" Cao Guangcheng pointed at the sign-in area inside.
"These teams?" The two turned around to look. Their faces were full of disdain. It was obvious that these grassroots players looked down on them.
"What's there to ask about these teams? Hey, let me ask you, when is Team Excellent Era coming?" One of them asked.
Cao Guangcheng smiled. How could he not know what these two were thinking? Actually, they were just like him. These two wanted to take advantage of the Excellent Era on the Opportunity Leaderboard. What everyone cared about wasn't the news from the Challenger League, but the future of the Excellent Era.
However, Cao Guangcheng wouldn't give up such a great opportunity so easily. After holding it in for a year, he didn't even want to give it to others.
"Excellent Era? I'm not sure either! I've looked around and didn't see it. It's probably not here yet. Alright, let's talk later. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first! "Cao Guangcheng waved his hand and was about to leave. The two reporters stared at Cao Guangcheng's luggage.
For the convenience of their interviews, these reporters naturally stayed in the hotels that the Alliance had arranged for the teams. However, Cao Guangcheng was carrying his luggage. Was he going to stay somewhere else?
As reporters, their observation skills were quite outstanding. The two of them exchanged glances. When they saw Cao Guangcheng get into a taxi, they hurriedly rushed over and hailed a taxi to follow him.
In the hotel, the check-in continued in an orderly manner. After everyone in Happy finished signing, they received the keys to their respective rooms. Chang Xian followed beside them, eagerly helping the ladies carry their bags.
"What, Little Chang, you're quite strong, aren't you? Come, try mine. "Baozi saw this and handed his luggage to Chang Xian.
"Ah?" Chang Xian had already taken Chen Guo and Tang Rou's luggage. They were going to be away for more than a month. A woman's luggage was much scarier than a man's. Chang Xian had already taken two women's luggage. He had already broken through his limits. Now that Baozi had given him another one, he was instantly petrified.
Everyone laughed and laughed as they went upstairs. The rooms were standard rooms for two people. Happy had eleven people. In the end, they were divided like they were at home.
Ye Xiu and Wei Chen had one room. Chen Guo and Tang Rou had another. Baozi, Luo Ji, Qiao Yifan, An Wenyi, and Sun Zheping were the new members. In the end, they stayed with Wu Chen. The one who enjoyed a room to himself was naturally Mo Fan, who didn't interact with the others.
The hotel arranged by the Alliance was naturally not far from the Alliance. However, there was also a very important place, which was the training ground.
For a competition that was close to being a professional level, it was unimaginable to not have training. Therefore, the training ground was also arranged by the Alliance for the various teams. After checking in, Happy asked the staff at the sign-in area about the training ground. As expected, there were people who immediately came over to guide them.
The training ground arranged by the Alliance made Ye Xiu and the others feel refreshed. This environment was too familiar. This was the hotel's Internet Cafe!
The Alliance had chosen this hotel, which was very ordinary in every other aspect, for the teams to stay in. Their intentions were immediately apparent. It was probably because they had taken a fancy to the hotel's accompanying entertainment area, which actually had an Internet Cafe …
The hotel's Internet Cafe had already closed for business. It had become a training ground for the Challenger League teams. The inside of the Internet Cafe had already been arranged. The various teams were clearly divided into areas, separated by temporary partitions. When Excellent Era arrived, there were already teams working inside. As for whether they were training or using the computers for other purposes, the Alliance wouldn't interfere. During the Challenger League, each team could freely use the area allocated to them as a training ground.
Team Happy's eleven people were considered the largest team in the Challenger League. They were at the innermost corner of the Internet Cafe. As an experienced Internet Cafe operator for many years, Chen Guo had high praise for the facilities and environment of the hotel's Internet Cafe. After looking around and recognizing the door, Happy's members weren't like the other teams who couldn't wait to start using it. After a long journey, it was important to rest and recover. After looking around, Happy's team returned to their rooms to rest.
At the same time, Team Excellent Era directly checked into the hotel they had booked. However, they still had to sign in. The Alliance couldn't set up a sign-in area specifically for them in this hotel. Therefore, after settling down, they still had to make a trip to the hotel arranged by the Alliance.
In the end, when Excellent Era's team arrived at the hotel lobby from their rooms, they were immediately greeted by three people.
Reporters … Seeing the three people's attitude, the experienced members of Excellent Era realized what was going on. As a powerhouse team, Excellent Era didn't need to be soft in front of the media. Most of the time, it was the reporters who wanted to interview them, not the other way around. Of course, there were times when they needed the media to make some noise. Even though they had lost a lot of face this season, Excellent Era had never lost their identity as a powerhouse. However, when they thought about how they had always been surrounded and attacked by the media in the playoffs, there were only three reporters in front of them. It was a bit lonely! Among the three reporters, Cao Guangcheng was undoubtedly the most familiar with Excellent Era. Before coming, they had contacted each other. If it wasn't for the fact that he had other things to do, Cao Guangcheng would definitely have come along with Excellent Era's flight. As a team reporter, they were inseparable.
What about the other two? Excellent Era's gaze shifted. The two ignored Cao Guangcheng's fiery gaze and took the initiative to introduce themselves.
They were also from Esports Home? Excellent Era stared blankly. However, as the club's manager, Cui Li's relationship with the media wasn't as simple as that between the players and the interviewee. He was quite familiar with the media. When he saw Cao Guangcheng's unhappy expression, he immediately understood what was going on. This was an internal competition for resources!
Cao Guangcheng might be depressed about this, but Excellent Era wasn't. They laughed and didn't intend to neglect either side.
Cao Guangcheng was furious! He didn't think that his two colleagues would be so shameless as to follow him. Outside the hotel, the two guys got off the car right after him. When they came over to greet him, Cao Guangcheng was in the mood to eat them alive.
And now, right in front of his eyes, the other side was talking to Excellent Era just like that.
If it was at the peak of Excellent Era, they might not even bother to talk to unfamiliar reporters. But now, wasn't Excellent Era in dire straits? With the media, he naturally had to build a good relationship with them. Naturally, he would not distance himself from those two. Cao Guangcheng knew this all too well.
The two of them went back and forth, chatting enthusiastically with Excellent Era's team. Cao Guangcheng looked like a little follower on the side, which made him even angrier. However, Cao Guangcheng didn't follow Excellent Era for nothing. Seeing the two guys chatting with Cui Li, he wanted to go talk to some player. But when he turned his gaze, he saw Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, walking behind Excellent Era's team.
Cao Guangcheng was ecstatic. The club's boss wasn't someone that could be interviewed so easily! Just as he was about to go up and talk, he heard the two guys suddenly ask Cui Li, "For a long time, there was a rumor that Happy was Ye Qiu's team. But just now, when we received the final confirmation from the Alliance, Team Happy didn't have Ye Qiu's name. This …"
"What did you say?" Tao Xuan had already heard the man before he could finish his sentence, and he strode over to him.
