Chapter 1047 The State of Jia Shi

Online games have their liveliness, and the pro scene has its news.

Jia Shi has always been highly regarded, after all, it is a renowned powerhouse in the Alliance. Before this season, they had always been strong contenders for the championship. However, the focus has been somewhat different this season. From the very beginning, Jia Shi was so shaky that it shocked everyone. They changed captains and ace players midway through, and it seemed like things were improving. But first, there was Vice-Captain Liu Hao's super blunder, and now the entire team is a complete mess. These two performances were so terrible that they could be recorded in history.

News reports and newspaper headlines have once again trotted out the same old headlines that were used to death in the first half of the season: What's wrong with Jia Shi???

Except this time, one more word was added. The news headlines were all: What exactly is wrong with Jia Shi???

Jia Shi's PR seemed so small and powerless in the face of such historically bad performance. Fans were tired of these verbal promises. They needed action. Until then, they would only continue to vent their dissatisfaction.

During Jia Shi's internal meeting, the manager also realized the severity of the situation.

After roaring on stage, he was met with a row of lifeless faces. Sun Xiang, Liu Hao, Shen Jian... these main players all looked absent-minded.

Their expressions also showed worry, but this worry didn't seem to be for the team, but for their personal futures. At this moment, Jia Shi was like a giant ship about to sink, and these main players, who were supposed to support the ship, were already thinking about what would happen after the ship sank.

This scene made the manager feel panicked. Although the results in the first half of the season were poor, at least they were still under control. But what about now? Now, the situation was completely out of control. He didn't know why it had become like this, and he didn't know how to change it...

Confused and helpless, the manager dismissed the meeting. This meeting didn't achieve any of the results he had hoped for. It only made him feel the seriousness of the situation. He had to pick up the phone: "Boss..."

Although most players in online games also pay attention to the pro scene, the news of the pro scene doesn't directly affect their lives. Dungeons are still being cleared, quests are still being done, and PKs are still being fought. However, for Jia Shi fans, the team's disgusting performance made them unable to hold their heads up high, and it became a laughingstock for opponents.

Chen Yehui was in charge of the online game guild, and the team's poor performance had nothing to do with him. However, as a core member of the club, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the club was very heavy.

What exactly happened after Liu Hao and the others came last time? Chen Yehui still didn't dare to ask. He ran into Liu Hao at the club, but Liu Hao looked absent-minded and didn't even see him. He just floated past him.

He Ming, Shen Jian, Zhang Jiaxing...

Everyone he had a chance to see looked worried. As for Captain Sun Xiang, Chen Yehui secretly inquired about him. It was said that he always locked himself in his room and only came out when he had to for meals and training.

The situation looked very serious. Chen Yehui didn't dare to do anything rash. Before anyone came looking for him, he decided to run back to the online game and silently do his job well. That was the safest thing to do.

In the online game, other developments were still following the same old routine. And the pursuit of Lord Grim and Deception was still not making any progress.

The big guilds were clear that even though they had a list of bounties, six out of seven were just for show. Lord Grim was their primary target, so they would only pay enough attention when they received news about Lord Grim. As for the others, they were just doing it for show.

But what about Lord Grim? They had received a lot of news these days, but they hadn't even seen a shadow of him so far. They were even starting to wonder if the people who sent the news had really seen Lord Grim or were just trying to make fun of them. Later, the big guilds unanimously demanded that the informers confirm the target and keep an eye on them until their people arrived. But then they thought about it again. Who were they trying to keep an eye on? Ye Qiu! The three major guilds had dispatched hundreds of people and locked down a leveling area in the wilderness town, but they still managed to escape. How could they expect a player to keep an eye on him? They could only pray that Ye Qiu didn't care and intentionally let them watch him, right?

But would Ye Qiu be so careless in this situation? It didn't seem likely, because Lord Grim was online every day for the past few days, but they couldn't see him. The big guilds were receiving less and less information, and it was clear that after the initial frenzy, many people were no longer intentionally running to low-level areas to try their luck.

Was this another fruitless effort? The major club guilds were at a loss. They had even used RMB, such a powerful tool, but they still couldn't take down Lord Grim?

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and a new round of the weekly pro league began. In addition to caring about who could make it into the top eight, more Glory fans were now concerned about who would be relegated.

In a long-distance race like the pro league, one or two bad performances aren't enough to determine the overall situation, so the two teams that are usually relegated are those whose strength is truly lacking and are at a disadvantage throughout the entire season. However, in the first half of this season, Jia Shi had fallen deep into the quagmire with continuous poor performances. After the change of ace player, there were a few signs of improvement, but this time, such a massive collapse made people feel like Jia Shi was back! That strong contender for the relegation spot was back!

If Jia Shi were to be relegated, it would definitely be a major event.

After all, the history of Glory e-sports is still short. This is only the eighth season, not long enough to witness the history of a powerhouse going from prosperity to decline. But now it seems that Jia Shi is very likely to achieve this. This championship team, which was the first to create a dynasty in the Alliance, doesn't even want to miss this opportunity and wants to write a heavy stroke in Glory history in this way?

Many media reports contained such sarcastic comments. After all, although Jia Shi was no longer as invincible as they were during their three consecutive championships, they had always been a strong team. This sudden rush towards relegation was like a deliberate act to give people a surprise, without any gradual process.

Jia Shi's rivals were gloating, and Jia Shi's supporters were worried. Amidst the attention of countless people, a new round of matches began. In this round, Jia Shi was playing away against Samsara...

Samsara Club hosted the All-Star Weekend this season, but unfortunately, the home team didn't manage to steal the show. However, after the All-Star Weekend, Samsara's performance was surprisingly good. Jia Shi was unlucky to encounter such a strong team after being badly beaten in the previous match, but it was also an opportunity.

Obviously, they needed to put in more effort to defeat Samsara, but if they could snipe the momentum of Samsara here, it would be a good demonstration of their ability.

Could Jia Shi do it? The people looking forward to this match were no longer limited to Jia Shi's supporters. This match was also broadcasted at Happy Internet Cafe. Broadcasting the most watched matches was Chen Guo's current principle. She didn't deliberately avoid Jia Shi. This match was the most watched in this round of the league. There was no disagreement about that.

So, Happy Internet Cafe was packed again that night, but the atmosphere was terribly heavy. Perhaps there were many neutral fans elsewhere who were paying attention to this match, but here, almost everyone was a Jia Shi supporter, and everyone had their hands clenched in a sweat. When the match was about to officially begin, there was no noise, no applause, no loud cheers for their supported players. Everyone was silent, watching the start of the match with trepidation.

In the individual competition, Su Mucheng took the first match, which cheered everyone up.

Then in the second match, Vice-Captain Liu Hao won another match, and the atmosphere in Happy Internet Cafe suddenly became much more lively.

Chen Guo even breathed a sigh of relief. Although she once viciously hoped that Jia Shi would be doomed, after seeing Ye Xiu's sad and lonely expression that day, she suddenly began to hope that Jia Shi would be better.

Without a doubt, Chen Guo was a standard brainless fan who was completely centered on her idol. Su Mucheng was still in Jia Shi! Wouldn't Su Mucheng also be embarrassed if Jia Shi was too embarrassed? Thinking of this, Chen Guo hoped that Jia Shi could buck up a bit.

She stole a glance at Ye Xiu, who was standing by the door, smoking and watching the match. The guy was expressionless, and the two victories didn't seem to make him feel anything.

Then Jia Shi lost the third match. The Internet Cafe was filled with regretful sighs, but the atmosphere was obviously much better than at the beginning. At least there were some voices, some popularity.

But the subsequent team arena competition was like a torrential rain, drenching everyone into drowned rats. In the team arena competition, Samsara only sent one person, Zhou Zekai.

An ace versus three!

Zhou Zekai actually played an ace versus three in the team arena competition. The dazzling Gunner's martial arts and gun skills were so glaring in the eyes of Jia Shi's supporters. No one was in the mood to appreciate the splendor of it. Everyone wanted to eat Zhou Zekai alive.

As a result, someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim, "How handsome!"

The one who could deserve this praise, of course, could only be Zhou Zekai. Everyone glared around, looking for the source of the sound, and saw a infatuated girl. Fortunately, it was a girl, otherwise, 110 and 120 would probably have to queue up to visit Happy Internet Cafe tonight.

The atmosphere in the Internet Cafe suddenly returned to the beginning. The team competition then began under the apprehensive mood of everyone. This team competition lasted for 30 minutes, not long or short. In the end, all Jia Shi fans painfully closed their eyes.

They lost, they lost again.

2:8, this was the final score. Compared to the previous round, they only gained one more point. Jia Shi's performance was not as disgusting as the previous match, but the chaos remained, and the listlessness remained. These were even more obvious in the team competition.

"Fuck!" Happy Internet Cafe was immersed in a barrage of curses.
