Due to Excellent Era's guidance, why did Ye Qiu change his name to Ye Xiu? Even though this question was asked, it wasn't the main point of the interview. For the important questions, Ye Xiu answered them with an accent that made Chen Guo extremely uncomfortable. How she wished she could hear a simple answer like "Excellent Era is an idiot, I want to kill them" in the interview.
However, Chen Guo also knew that Ye Xiu was telling the truth. Revenge? This was actually a theme that Chen Guo thought about every day. In reality, Ye Xiu had never revealed this kind of mentality. The only reason he wanted to defeat Excellent Era was because the two sides met in the Challenger League. In the end, only one of them could remain. It was that simple.
Unfortunately, when this truth was said in the interview, it was just empty talk. Sure enough, after the news came out on Friday, Chen Guo went online to search. All of them were disdainful of Ye Xiu's hypocrisy. Chen Guo learned her lesson from last time. This time, she didn't dare to argue with these guys. When she returned to the team, she didn't dare to make a fuss. She was afraid that it would affect everyone's mood for tonight's match. She could only sulk by herself.
At 8 PM, the second round of the Challenger League offline competition began. Happy, their opponent was TenStepOneKill.
After the first round of the competition, Ye Xiu looked up some information on TenStepOneKill's team. Before the match, he also made a few targeted arrangements.
Player teams didn't have the conditions to be as balanced as pro teams. The strength of the players in the team was often very uneven. TenStepOneKill's team had a total of seven players. This prevented them from having to send a healer in the 1v1 matches. However, their seventh player was just there to make up the numbers. He was completely at the level of a normal player. He was the type that could barely beat Chen Guo. As for the remaining six people, three of them were obviously stronger than the rest. TenStepOneKill's strategy had always been to have these three players fight in the group arena and earn two points. With three players in the team competition, they would often be able to get five points. As for the individual competition, they would send the other three non-healer players to fight. Every point counted.
In the previous round, it could be seen that they were already used to this arrangement. In the individual competition, the three weaker contestants did not get a single point. This kind of opening was usually quite a blow to morale. However, TenStepOne Kill had already adapted to this situation, so the following matches were not affected in the slightest. The three experts steadily won two points. However, in the following team competition, Team Trader displayed a more balanced team strength. In the end, Team Ten Steps One Kill lost the team competition, ending the first round with a score of 2-8.
Every point could affect the final ranking, so everyone should try their best to fight for it. TenStepOneKill had made this arrangement out of helplessness.
As for Happy, if one were to talk about individual strength, there was also a huge disparity between their standards. But at least everyone was above average. Except for Chen Guo, no one was just there to make up the numbers. Therefore, they didn't need to use this kind of strategy of sacrificing the rook to save the king. They would actively fight for every point.
However, besides fighting for points, Ye Xiu also wanted everyone in the team, especially the rookies, to experience the atmosphere of an official match. So, in the final individual competition, Ye Xiu wrote Luo Ji's name.
Luo Ji had already played Glory for over a year now. With Ye Xiu's guidance and systematic training, his skill had improved very quickly. With his current skill level, beating Chen Guo wasn't too difficult. This made Chen Guo both gratified and depressed. For better or for worse, she had been a veteran player of Glory for many years. In the end, she could only watch as Tang Rou, Baozi, Luo Ji … these rookies started from scratch one by one and left her further and further behind.
Chen Guo had no choice but to accept this. Happy's various training methods, of course, she had also tried them. She had indeed improved, but it wasn't as fast as these rookies. Tang Rou and Baozi were both talented. From the beginning, they relied on their hand speed to achieve their skill level. Their skill level was already above Chen Guo's, so she hadn't felt it too strongly. But Luo Ji had truly started from scratch and had now left Chen Guo behind. Chen Guo could clearly feel the entire process, every minute, every second of it. She really was a bit envious. She envied how young these guys were. She envied how much room they had to grow. As for her, after coming into contact with this kind of high-level training, she felt even more powerless in many areas. She truly felt what it meant to have a limit. Just like that little game of whack-a-mole that Ye Xiu had given her. At a certain point, she couldn't beat it no matter what.
As a result, when it came to the offline matches, Chen Guo no longer clamored to go onstage and play. Her days as a player were over. The stage now belonged to the people who truly had the ability to stand on it.
In the individual competition, Wei Chen, Luo Ji, and Tang Rou went onstage.
In the group arena, it was Baozi, Qiao Yifan, and Ye Xiu himself.
In the team competition, it was Tang Rou, Luo Ji, Qiao Yifan, Ye Xiu, An Wenyi, and the substitute Wei Chen.
The young people were all given as many opportunities as possible. Except for Mo Fan. Although this guy had come with everyone, he still looked indifferent. Ye Xiu let him go as usual and ignored him.
But when it came to the match that night, when the opponent's first player went onstage, Ye Xiu was a bit dumbfounded. TenStepOneKill, who had always given up on the individual competition, sent out one of their three strongest players.
"Why did they change their strategy?" Ye Xiu scratched his head.
TenStepOneKill, who had changed his strategy, looked very confident. He strode onto the stage with vigorous steps. Then, he saw that Happy's opponent was a sighing uncle, who was currently being scolded by the referee for putting out his cigarette. He snickered. Wei Chen, this name was a bit old. Although Esports Home had introduced him once, it was only briefly mentioned. It didn't cause any discussion. There were very few people who paid attention to the reports of the Challenger League.
Afterwards, the two sides sat down and loaded their characters. TenStepOneKill glanced at Windward Formation's equipment.
Silver words, no description.
Silver words, no description.
Silver words, no description …
TenStepOneKill's cursor moved quickly, but all he saw was the name of the equipment.
Silver equipment …
Eight pieces …
The player was stunned, and then he wanted to kneel … Eight pieces of Silver equipment, what kind of character was this? At the same time, the crowd went into an uproar. Following this player's line of sight, everyone saw that Windward Formation actually had eight pieces of Silver equipment. It wasn't just the audience that was in an uproar. The players were also in an uproar, including Team Excellent Era's players.
Eight pieces of Silver equipment wasn't bad in the Alliance.
The match started, and TenStepOneKill already had thoughts of kneeling. The match was decided without any suspense. Wei Chen took the first point, and then he came down from the stage. He arrogantly waved at the crowd, drawing boos. Most of the people who came to watch Excellent Era. Happy was now a demon in the eyes of the Excellent Era fans.
"What do you think? When I showed my eight pieces of Silver equipment, my opponent pissed his pants, right? "Wei Chen was still bragging when he returned to the player preparation area.
"Amazing." Ye Xiu said perfunctorily. At this moment, the players for the second round of the individual competition had already come on stage. TenStepOneKill had two of their three experts, and Happy had Luo Ji.
This expert's skill level was slightly higher than Luo Ji's, but he had clearly been affected by the previous match's ending, and was a bit flustered. As for Luo Ji's Concealed Light, his two pieces of Silver equipment weren't as frightening as Windward Formation's, but his full set of Level 75 Orange equipment, especially the Orange Seal of the Tiger, was truly stunning. This opponent trembled in fear. But soon, this player gained the upper hand, because his opponent, Luo Ji, was even more nervous than him.
For Luo Ji, this was the first time he had ever been in a match like this. His nervous fingers and expressions were all stiff, and he made all sorts of mistakes. In just a few moves, he was defeated by his opponent.
I won?
This match had been won too easily, so easily that TenStepOneKill's player couldn't believe it. When he came down from the stage, he was still at a loss.
As for Luo Ji, he had a vexed expression. However, as a high IQ math student, he knew full well why he had lost, so this loss didn't affect his confidence. Luo Ji had grown up with Happy. In the team's matches, even Chen Guo had casually crushed him in the early stages. For Luo Ji to suffer such a blow after losing just one match was not something he would feel bad about. He had lost count of how many times he had lost in the past year. In the team's matches, he had only been able to regain some face against Chen Guo today. And Chen Guo was just there to make up the numbers.
"How is it? It's different from how you usually play online, right?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"It's too different." Luo Ji sighed, "For a moment, I even forgot where I was …"
"You'll get used to it." Ye Xiu didn't say much. The reason he had Luo Ji go up was to let him get used to this kind of atmosphere. Losing a few points to him was expected.
After Luo Ji, it was Tang Rou's turn to go up. TenStepOneKill sent out their third expert. A crushing defeat at the start of the match, followed by a huge victory, clearly left this person at a loss. He didn't know how to respond. However, when he saw Han Yanrou's name, he was immediately energized. Han Yanrou was now a character in Team Happy, second only to Lord Grim. Basically, everyone knew that she was an expert, a very strong expert.
The facts proved this point. In the third match, it wasn't an obvious one-sided victory, but Tang Rou still won the match cleanly. She didn't give her opponents any hope.
As for the three experts on the other side, they only won one point in the individual competition. This last-minute change in strategy didn't seem to have helped them win anything.
In the group arena, TenStepOneKill only had seven people. There was no suspense at all about who would go up. There were two weak players and one to make up the numbers.
In Team Happy, Bao Zi was the first to go up and finally completed the magnificent feat of one against three. When he came down, he waved his arms and showed off his biceps.
"Did you see that? Learn from it!" After he came down, Bao Zi had a reason to admonish his "little brother" Luo Ji.
There was no suspense in the team competition that followed. Ye Xiu personally oversaw it, hoping that everyone would get used to the atmosphere of the competition.
An Wenyi, who was also in this kind of situation for the first time, looked extremely calm, and his performance was extremely stable. As for Luo Ji, who was at a loss in the individual competition, he came out again in the team competition. With the company of his teammates, he finally found his usual self.
In the team competition, they won another five points.
