Chapter 17 The Seventeenth Round

The Happening Bodhi team had already finished their most lively Christmas Eve program early in the morning. Then, Christmas had no holiday, what should be done was still to be done, and the matches that should be played were still to be played. Ye Xiu originally wanted to remind everyone to stabilize their mentality in the upcoming matches, but after seeing this week's opponent, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

December 27th, the seventeenth round of the competition, Happening Bodhi's opponent was, Mingqing Team.

After sixteen rounds, with 30 points, ranking second to last, and 14 points away from the 18th-ranked team, Mingqing Team, along with Linhai Team, were considered to have been sentenced to relegation this season.

Such a poorly performing team made Ye Xiu feel that talking about caution was a bit of an overcorrection. Although the league is known for having no weak teams, and examples of strong teams capsizing in the gutter are numerous, as a playoff-contending team, it was enough to show the proper attitude towards a relegated team. Talking too much about importance would probably make the players feel distrustful.

So in the end, Ye Xiu didn't talk too much, but prepared as usual, formulated tactics against the opponent, without underestimating them, but also without overemphasizing them.

The Happening Bodhi, whose state was red hot, did not capsize against the Mingqing Team. Playing away, they achieved a heroic 10-0, catching up with the Happening Bodhi's perfect victory record. Happening Bodhi lost a singles match in the away game against Yueyun this round, and finally won 9-1, still a perfect victory in six rounds of 10-0.

In the games that ended in the same round, the Tyranny, Blue Rain, and Howling teams all won big away games. The Tiny Herb team unexpectedly lost. In this round, they had a city derby with the Yizhan team. If the number of fans for the home and away teams were not limited, it was clear that Tiny Herb might have overwhelmed Yizhan in terms of the atmosphere. However, in Glory competitions, the home and away advantages are not only the support of the fans at the scene, but also the map selection right is more crucial.

In this round, Yizhan had been losing after winning a singles match, but they strongly rebounded in the team competition, defeated Tiny Herb, and finally prevailed with a total score of 6-4.

The smallest victory made Yizhan's brothers go crazy. This was the first time since they entered the professional circle that they had achieved victory over a real strong team!

Once upon a time, still in the team formation stage, these rich second-generation members of Yizhan imagined the goal of a professional championship with high spirits, but Ye Xiu helped them recognize the reality. So after entering the league, they started cautiously, and then they found that the gap between reality and ideal was real. Professional championship? This was too far away for them.

Yizhan adjusted their mood and moved forward cautiously. This seemed to be the most suitable approach for their situation. But in their hearts, how could these members of Yizhan be satisfied with wandering outside the relegation zone?

They just carefully collected the bold idea of winning the championship, but they didn't completely delete it. They were not the kind of people who would become mediocre after recognizing reality.

They were continuing to work hard, but their team structure was destined to be unable to strengthen their strength through reinforcements. They could only strengthen the construction of their characters, and in addition, they had to work hard themselves.

But this season, Yizhan's performance was still not good. Although the members of Yizhan had some whimsical ideas, they were not self-righteous people. This situation inevitably made them question themselves, thinking that their Glory strength was probably just like this, could they achieve higher goals?

As a result, at this moment, they actually defeated the Tiny Herb team.

A small victory, but it ignited an answer in their hearts: We can!

No matter what the reason, if they could win this one, they might have a second, a third, but when the accumulation of victories was enough, and coherent enough, who said that the goal buried in their hearts could not be achieved?

"Great God, do you think so?"

This glorious and uplifting victory for Yizhan made Lou Guan Ning specially contacted Happening Bodhi.

"Yes, that's right, keep up the good work!" Ye Xiu replied.

"Okay, you too, I'll say it in advance, Happy New Year!" Lou Guan Ning shouted.

Oh yes, it's going to be the New Year.

The seventeenth round ended on December 27th, and the following week was the professional league's winter break, which would suspend one round, but the annual All-Star Weekend would also be held next weekend.

The All-Star vote has entered the final countdown stage, the league is counting, the fans are paying attention, and even the professional players will discuss it when they have nothing to do.

Zhou Zekai has been leading since the opening of the voting channel, and his position is unshakable, no one expects any miracles to happen anymore.

But the second place, Ye Xiu, is actually Ye Xiu!

Ye Xiu, who defeated Excellent Era in the Challenger League and claimed "I'm back," also earned enough gimmicks in the first half of the year. When the channel was first opened, some of Ye Xiu's old fans and some people who joined in the fun gave him their votes, squeezing him into the top 24 list.

Then, in the initial stage of the season, in addition to a great victory over Hundred Blossoms, Happening Bodhi dared to lose to anyone they met. But after losing to Tiny Herb in the eighth round, Happening Bodhi rose strongly, winning streak madly, constantly with 10-0, and a storm swept the entire league.

Some conspiracy theorists even suspected that Happening Bodhi was deliberately not exerting their strength in the initial stage of the season, and then erupting their true strength after the bottoming out to take points in the chaos, the contrast was really exaggerated.

And Ye Xiu, from the second round, has been undefeated in the individual competition, and has continued to this day.

Although such a strong player did not play in the individual competition but always broke records in the individual competition, although it also caused some criticism, this small discussion could not shake the real record. Ye Xiu's record was strong, and Happening Bodhi's record led by Ye Xiu was strong. This allowed his votes on the All-Star list to rise all the way. Old players and new players alike began to pay attention to this legendary figure who had already become a legend. Was he preparing to reshape a legend this time? So far, he has left his name on the individual winning streak record, and he is constantly refreshing it, brushing himself…

Until the seventeenth round, Ye Xiu's record did not end, and Happening Bodhi's winning streak did not end. And then… there is no then for the time being, the next game will be next year's business, and this year's All-Star vote ends here. The Happening Bodhi players, who did not participate in last season's professional league and did not have the halo of championship, were at a disadvantage in this vote. However, the Challenger League that Happening Bodhi participated in had enough weight, and the final opponent, Excellent Era, was also at the level of the playoffs. And Happening Bodhi defeated Excellent Era, creating a miracle, and the miracle effect it brought was also very large. Ye Xiu was originally a famous and well-established figure in the Glory circle, although he left for a year and a half, his return was strong enough, and it was not surprising that he had a seat in the All-Stars.

As a result, his return was strong, and he remained strong after his return, and the number of votes was unstoppable. At this time, it was approaching the end, and it seemed that there was no hope of catching up with Zhou Zekai, but the second seat seemed to be stable, because after him, it was Xiao Shiqin, the captain of the Thunder team, who had led Thunder to achieve unexpected results this season. After spending the first half of the year failing in Excellent Era, his return was also very strong, and he even crushed many big names.

Originally, it was really hard to say whose votes would be more, but in the sixteenth round of the game on December 20th, the two teams directly confronted each other, and Thunder was defeated by Happening Bodhi 9-1, so the answer was obvious. For many players who are not fixed fans, voting is about looking at performance. Happening Bodhi defeated Thunder, which meant that Ye Xiu was stronger than Xiao Shiqin, so after that day, the neutral votes that were swaying between the two made a decision, and the increase in the votes of the two obviously had a difference, and the second and third seats would probably be decided like this.

The fourth on the vote list is Wang Jiexi, the captain of the Tiny Herb team, fifth is Huang Shaotian of Blue Rain, and sixth is another player from Happening Bodhi, and it is a newly joined player, Sun Xiang.

Happening Bodhi's strength makes people numb, but this numbness will not make people ignore it. One Autumn Leaf, One Shot Through the Cloud, the combination of these two new players has attracted explosive attention from the beginning. This is a combination of two top-level god-level characters, and this topic alone can be hyped for many days. Coupled with Happening Bodhi's at least all-wins record…

Yes, all wins.

After seventeen rounds of the league, Happening Bodhi has won seventeen rounds, without even a single draw.

Victory belongs to everyone in the Happening Bodhi team, but among these people, there are always more glamorous ones.

Zhou Zekai was the first, Sun Xiang was the second… then, Jiang Botao, the value of the Happening Bodhi's vice-captain has long been recognized, ranking ninth.

Happening Bodhi already occupies three seats in the top ten of the All-Stars, and their Happening Bodhi player, Lu Boyuan, is also ranked twentieth at this time. Former Happening Bodhi All-Star player, Li Yihui, who came from Tiny Herb, gradually lost his former reputation after transferring to the 301 team, and still failed to make the list this year.

Four All-Stars! The Happening Bodhi's lineup is really shining with gold. Compared to the Tyranny team, which had four All-Stars last season? Now there are only two left. Zhang Xinjie, ranked seventh, and captain Han Wenqing, for the first time in his career, dropped out of the top ten on the All-Star list, ranking twelfth.

In fact, the Tyranny team is currently ranked second on the standings, but their ranking has come so quietly. In the All-Star vote, everyone is more likely to notice those sharp and strong performances. Tyranny has started rotating players this season, and even captain Han Wenqing's votes have declined significantly. Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan have finally slipped out of the list.

The changing of the guard?

Unfortunately, on the All-Star list, few newcomers can rise strongly. It was extremely rare for Gao Yingjie and Lu Hanwen to be selected together last season, but after that novelty has passed, the ranking of the two this season is not as good as last year.

Pure newcomers, there was originally a Tang Rou, but unfortunately, after the One vs Three incident, she completely fell out of the list, let alone the All-Star 24, she could not even be found in the top 100.

Excluding Ye Xiu, Xiao Shiqin, Sun Xiang, and Su Mucheng, these four names who returned from the Challenger League, there is a newcomer on the All-Star seat this year, but it is not a league newcomer.
