After the tenacious Van Cleese was finished, Lu Li announced that everyone could take a break.
They had already killed four Bosses, so there was no need to rush. The other clubs were probably still fighting the third Boss, and there were quite a few players who wanted to leave the team and enter the competition.
The Donghua Cup was coming to an end.
Ruling Sword's new team and Peerless City's new team had both entered the top ten, but Drizzle Court's new team had been eliminated.
Winning or losing in this kind of competition wasn't important. Famous players basically wouldn't appear on the stage. Blood Dagger had appeared before because he wanted to vent his anger. After that, he hadn't appeared on the stage again.
The ones who went on were basically all new players.
There were also some PVE players who weren't usually players, but wanted to take the opportunity to experience the feeling of PVE players.
Because of this, there would be a lot of inexplicable solo player teams or mercenary groups appearing under some kind of banner, such as a pharmaceutical company or real estate company. It could be understood as a way to advertise.
Lu Li actually had a similar idea in his previous life, but he couldn't find anyone to participate in the competition with.
Weilan Haifeng was being hunted at that time, so he didn't have the time to accompany him to play in some competition to earn advertising money.
At this point, the Donghua Cup officially entered the top ten.
These ten clubs were The Capital of Glory, Ruling Sword, Peerless City, Seventh Heaven, Gangnam Royals, Wings of Dawn, Blood Red War Flag, Azure Guard, Grand Hegemony and Lan Yu.
The Capital of Glory Youth Training Camp was famous all over the world. Many top players came from there.
This was simply the holy land of the professional circle, so their strength was the strongest. Even without Blood Dagger, they could still achieve the highest score and advance to the top ten with just the newcomers.
The second highest score was Lan Yu.
They were actually considered official professional players, but because of the restructuring, they were separated from Water Fairy. The professional players all fought in the gaming circle with new identities, so they collectively participated in the Donghua Cup. In reality, there were almost no true newcomers.
Then there was Grand Hegemony. Their situation was similar to that of Lan Yu. They had received a large capital injection and were rich and powerful.
The Gangnam Royals had been beaten badly in the professional league. For the Donghua Cup this time, they had basically used the experts of the mercenary world. Coupled with some of their own leftover members, they had played quite well.
The other clubs all had newcomers appear, or at least mainly newcomers.
On Ruling Sword's side, Fei Houzi and Mu Qiu were considered official competitors.
However, not many of them actually appeared. Moreover, the Donghua Cup's default newcomers did include official competitors who had debuted less than a year ago. Fat Monkey, Kitty Likes Meat, and even Lu Li and March Rain actually met the newcomer requirements for the Donghua Cup.
If Lu Li, March Rain, Fat Monkey, Mu Qiu, Kitty Likes Meat and Sakura Memories played, they would definitely be able to win.
It was just that Ruling Sword's status was very different, so they couldn't bully them too much.
The ones who really participated in the competition were the ten or so newcomers from Ruling Sword. Under the leadership of Short Road, they forced their way into the top ten. Short Road's performance was very strong, and he wasn't any weaker than when Fei Houzi first rose up.
Short Road's characteristics were different from Fei Houzi's fire Mage. He was an ice Mage, so his fighting style was seamless.
Some people had analyzed his match videos and thought that he was the player who had made almost no mistakes in the Donghua Cup. Almost any technique that came to him could be used seamlessly. He was like a patient with severe OCD, and he didn't need to do anything wrong.
Of course, this didn't mean that this style was necessarily good.
Many times, if you paid too much attention to the details, you would ignore other more important things.
Right now, he was dealing with newcomers or unskilled players, so it wasn't a big problem to pursue perfection. However, when he was facing strong star players, if he continued to pursue perfection, he would only leave more openings.
Lu Li had also discussed his OCD with Short Road, and Short Road had also said that he would pay attention to it during the competition. However, some things could be changed, and some things couldn't be changed just because he said so.
At least, Lu Li didn't see any signs of him changing.
However, this wasn't important. Lu Li was someone who had experienced rebirth, so he had already anticipated Short Road's style.
Almost all players had their own style. These styles were sometimes a good thing, and sometimes not. What everyone needed to do was to get used to each other, and not ask others to change.
Short Road's style was OCD.
Mu Qiu also participated in the competition. He changed his fighting style from a healer Paladin to a DPS Retribution. In a sense, he was also a newcomer.
Of course, he was also the kind of person who occasionally played. There weren't many opportunities for him to play in the Donghua Cup.
There were also Huadi Liqing and Weilan Haifeng, who had also played a few times.
"Why don't we go watch the competition and relax? I'll pay for the tickets." Lu Li saw that everyone was quite interested in the competition, so he was generous for a while.
"Pfft!" Everyone gave him the middle finger.
The tickets were a few dozen silver coins, but he made it sound like he was being generous.
This match was between Ruling Sword and Lan Yu, which was a very difficult opponent to deal with. After all, Lan Yu's players were all official competitors.
Fei Houzi and Mu Qiu would both play, otherwise, there was no way they could fight.
The big players didn't really care about the outcome of the Donghua Cup, but the players who participated in the competition did. There were even some forces who used the Donghua Cup as a battlefield to make a comeback, such as the Gangnam Royals.
Ruling Sword didn't play against the Gangnam Royals this round, which made Lu Li feel quite regretful.
However, the Gangnam Royals weren't that lucky either. They were playing against The Capital of Glory. The students of The Capital of Glory's youth training camp were generally considered to have the strength of official competitors. The mercenaries of the Gangnam Royals might not be able to beat them.
After entering the arena, Lu Li and Water Fairy sat together.
On stage, the commentators were Jiu Feng and Wendelian. Jiu Feng was a professional commentator, while Wendelian was the commander of Gale Legion. She was a very popular female competitor in the gaming circle.
"This is a very interesting match. Ruling Sword and Lan Yu are both teams with very high points. It's just a shame that you won't be able to see familiar faces like Lu Li, Sanyue Yu and Moonlight," Wendelian said. In a sense, it could be said that she hated Ruling Sword. After all, Gale Legion belonged to The Capital of Glory, and The Capital of Glory now regarded Ruling Sword as their main opponent.
"Actually, I quite like Fat Monkey and Short Road's Ice and Fire CP," Jiu Feng giggled.
"Lu Li is so lucky to always be able to find such seeded players," Wendelian said sourly.
