The problem of age. This was the easiest for Chen Guo to understand because she had experienced it firsthand. Normally, when she played as a gamer, she didn't think that age would have any effect on playing games. But when she really treated it as a high-end career, this problem immediately became apparent.
"Since we've discovered these problems, we should at least tell them, right?" Chen Guo said.
"Of course we should. Aren't I just organizing it?" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo saw that Ye Xiu was going to record today's matches and then discuss these problems with everyone. Only then did she relax.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Chen Guo asked.
Ye Xiu touched his pocket and nodded under Chen Guo's earnest expectations: "Yes, help me buy a pack of cigarettes."
Chen Guo was speechless. She turned around and left. She originally wanted to go straight to her room. But just as she was about to close the door, she saw Ye Xiu sitting in front of the computer busily working. Her heart softened and she didn't harden her heart. She ran to buy a pack of cigarettes for Ye Xiu. When she came back, she gently placed her hand next to his and quietly left.
When she returned to her room, Tang Rou still hadn't rested. She was also fiddling with the computer. Chen Guo walked closer and saw that Tang Rou was looking at information and videos related to Battle Mages.
Chen Guo smiled. Ye Xiu was right. Happy teammates didn't need to be comforted or encouraged. Every one of them would actively face problems.
"Don't stay up too late. Rest early." Chen Guo, who originally wanted to chat with Tang Rou, saw that she was so focused on studying Battle Mages. After saying this, she didn't disturb her anymore.
"How was your sleep last night?" Ye Xiu asked everyone with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything.
"The Challenger League has always been smooth sailing for us. We only saw Excellent Era as our final competitor and neglected the other opponents. In the last match, we paid a price because of this. Due to the loss of points in this match, the current situation in Group B was a little grim. For the next two matches, we have to do our best to grab points. We can't afford to be careless, "Ye Xiu said.
"Understood." Everyone nodded. Everyone's attitude was unexpectedly serious. This was somewhat different from the usual Happy atmosphere in the team.
"Then let's review the previous match!" Ye Xiu said.
Just as Ye Xiu had said, victory would cover up the problem, but defeat would expose the problem. As such, after the first big victory, Ye Xiu did not bring them along for a recap. But this time, the recap lasted the entire morning.
The team was a whole, so each person's problems were also the team's problems. As teammates, they needed to understand each other's characteristics. And these characteristics included strengths and weaknesses. Only by being completely familiar with each other and understanding each other could they achieve the best tacit understanding. As a result, Ye Xiu directly brought out everyone's problems and discussed them with the team. With individual effort and the help of a team, solving problems in this way would yield twice the result with half the effort.
In the morning, they reviewed the problems that had occurred in yesterday's match. In the afternoon, they practiced as usual. The next day, Ye Xiu had already gathered the information on their next opponent and began to prepare for the match.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. The fourth match began on Friday night.
Group B Team Happy versus Team Cloud Xuan Pavilion. Team Mysterious Fantasy versus Team Trader. Team Ten Steps One Kill had a bye this round.
Team Ten Steps One Kill, who only had three points, had already been eliminated. They didn't even come to watch today's match. As for Team Cloud Xuan Pavilion, they only had a sliver of hope of advancing. Originally, this hope was no different from disappointment for them. But after seeing Team Happy lose to Team Trader in the previous round, Team Cloud Xuan Pavilion's fighting spirit was high. They took on a stance of going all out.
But today, Happy wouldn't give them any more chances. He crushed Team Cloud Xuan Pavilion like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. After half an hour, Team Happy finished today's match.
However, in this round, Happy still lost a point.
In Team Cloud Xuan, there was an Assassin player with One Move Fresh. His strength was average in all areas, but he had an extremely good grasp of Life-Risking Strike. In the match against Mysterious Fantasy, it was this person who had won a point in the individual competition.
This One Move Fresh clearly wasn't suited for the group arena, so in the match against Happy, this person still played in the individual competition.
Ye Xiu had specifically pointed out this person when preparing for the match. But in the individual competition, Tang Rou had still been tricked by this person, making Tang Rou extremely depressed. Tang Rou liked to fight face to face. She didn't like playing dirty. It wasn't easy for her to deal with it. This match reflected another problem with her.
As a result, after this match, Happy had accumulated 21 points in three matches. Cloud Xuan Pavilion was also eliminated in three matches.
On the other side, the match between Mysterious Fantasy and Trader was still ongoing. Because they had lost a lot of points in the second round against Trader, Happy was in a passive position. The outcome of this match was extremely important to Happy. After finishing the team competition, the players who had just left the stage immediately went to pay attention to the situation of that match. Chen Guo, who had been paying attention to both sides, didn't have a good expression.
The match between Mysterious Fantasy and Trader had already entered the team competition. The results of the previous two individual competitions were somewhat unexpected: 2 to 3.
In the individual competition, Trader had actually won 3 points from Mysterious Fantasy. If they won the team competition as well, they would have successfully slain a dragon twice and become a complete dark horse. And with these 8 points, they would be guaranteed a spot in the group stage. In the final round, either Happy or Mysterious Fantasy would be eliminated.
However, even if Mysterious Fantasy won against Trader in the team competition, would Happy have an easy time in the end?
Ye Xiu glanced at the player seats and happened to see someone holding a small notebook, looking over at Happy. When he saw Ye Xiu look over, he flashed a smile.
"Hey! Great Gunner. "Ye Xiu greeted him.
"Haha, I wouldn't dare." That person laughed and turned back to continue watching the match.
This person wouldn't go onstage, but in reality, he was Team Mysterious Fantasy's true core player.
Zhang Yiwei, a pro player who had entered the Alliance in the second season. Back then, he had been a famous Sharpshooter, but now, his halo had been completely overshadowed by the younger generation. It couldn't be helped, because Zhang Yiwei's successor was too dazzling.
Zhang Yiwei spent most of his pro career on Team Samsara. At that time, he used a character called Cloud Piercer, which was now known as the Great Gunner, the character used by the number one player in the Alliance, Zhou Zekai. When Ye Xiu called him Great Gunner, Zhang Yiwei didn't dare. He wasn't being modest, because when he used Cloud Piercer, he didn't have the nickname Great Gunner yet.
Having such a junior was a blessing for the team, but for the senior, it was a bit sad. Zhou Zekai's strong performances after taking over Cloud Piercer made his senior seem especially useless.
After Zhang Yiwei's position was taken over by Zhou Zekai, he left Team Samsara and wandered around for two seasons. In the end, he announced his retirement at the end of Season 6. Then, with a beautiful turn of events, he became Team Mysterious Fantasy's coach, turning a page in history for the Glory Alliance. Before him, there had never been a coach in a pro team. And that year, Mysterious Fantasy successfully stayed in the Alliance, attracting others to follow the trend. The next year, the new team, Bright Green, also got a coach to help the team.
Zhang Yiwei played at least half of the credit for Mysterious Fantasy's results. Thus, for Mysterious Fantasy, the true core player wasn't on the field, but the coach on the sidelines. Even though they had been relegated last season, it looked like Mysterious Fantasy's boss still trusted Zhang Yiwei and continued to let him lead the team.
"From the looks of it, Mysterious Fantasy seems to be doing pretty well?" Chen Guo said to Ye Xiu excitedly. Right now, in the team competition between Mysterious Fantasy and Team Trader, Mysterious Fantasy had the advantage. Team Trader, this dark horse, wouldn't be able to stay dark until the end.
"As long as they weren't careless, Mysterious Fantasy shouldn't have lost points to Team Trader," Ye Xiu said and then glanced at Zhang Yiwei.
"This is good," Chen Guo smiled.
"Good? What's good? "Ye Xiu asked.
"If Mysterious Fantasy wins, we'll have an easier time in the final round, right?" Chen Guo said.
"Carefully calculate the points and then see!" Ye Xiu said.
"Hm?" Chen Guo stared blankly. She immediately calculated the points based on the current situation.
If this round went according to the current situation and Mysterious Fantasy defeated Team Trader in the team competition, the final score would be 7 to 3. As a result, after four rounds, Team Trader would be in first place with 28 points after completing all four rounds. Mysterious Fantasy would be second with 26 points after three rounds. Happy would be third with 21 points after three rounds. There was no need to pay attention to the other two teams.
In the final round, Team Trader would have a bye. Happy would be facing Mysterious Fantasy. As for the other team's match, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. The final scores of the three teams made Chen Guo's expression change.
Team Trader's 28 points wouldn't change, but Happy and Mysterious Fantasy's scores would change because of the final round. Happy was behind Mysterious Fantasy by 5 points and behind Team Trader by 7 points. In the final round, how many points would Happy need to win to qualify?
"8 points … …" Ye Xiu already gave the answer.
Only with 8 points would Happy have 29 points and qualify as first in the group. With one point less and seven points, Mysterious Fantasy, who had three points, would be in first place with 29 points. Happy and Trader both had 28 points, so according to the tournament rules, if the two sides had the same number of points, the score of the previous match would be taken into account. Happy, at a disadvantage of 3 to 7, would be eliminated by Trader.
On the stage, Team Mysterious Fantasy's advantage was becoming more and more obvious. Team Trader had already had three players killed and eliminated from the match. Zhang Yiwei also revealed a satisfied smile. He turned his head and glanced at Happy's group.
