Chapter 1563 Helping Hand

Of the players who began their professional careers in Season 6, Jiang Botao, Yu Feng, Xu Bin, and Lü Boyuan were selected for the All-Stars this season. Apart from Yu Feng, the other three were certainly not top players in their respective teams. If the All-Star level was like this, other players were even less like celebrities in their teams.

This batch of rookies from Season 4 had the resounding title of the Golden Generation, but this group from Season 6 was called the "Helping Hand Group" because of such a coincidence, meaning that this batch of players were all supporting roles in their teams.

This was just a joke, and of course no one would take it to heart, but now that Yu Feng had gone to Hundred Blossoms and become the team's number one core, the name "Helping Hand Group" was naturally not as confident as before. The players from Season 6 all joked that Yu Feng had saved their face.

This was, of course, still a joke.

So what if Yu Feng had become the team's number one core?

Jiang Botao and Lü Boyuan were still members of the "Helping Hand Group," but they stood beside Zhou Zekai and formed the incredibly powerful Samsara team. The "Helping Hand Group" helped Samsara win two consecutive championships in the Glory Alliance.

However, Yu Feng was not envious of them at all.

Champion? He had already won it before them. What he wanted to pursue was winning the championship without the identity of a "Helping Hand Group" member.

Of course, this was just his personal obsession, and he was not denying the value of the "Helping Hand Group" members.

"Am I disturbing you?" Jiang Botao continued to chat with him. This player, who was good at socializing, would not have bad relationships anywhere he went. Even though the two sides were about to be mortal enemies, the old players were very professional. Meeting off the field, they did not bring the slightest bit of anger.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead, we won't disturb you." Yu Feng said.

Although everyone could professionally handle the relationship between the two sides, the tense atmosphere before such a life-and-death battle made it so that the two sides were not chatting happily.

"See you later." Jiang Botao said, watching Yu Feng and Zou Yuan leave the stage together. The Samsara players did not take such an encounter too seriously, and everyone quickly began their warm-up work.

At 8 p.m., the venue was packed. The playoffs, every game was crucial, naturally attracting much more attention than the regular season. As usual, there were away seats reserved for the visiting fans. The Samsara fans had already hung up their banners here. Two consecutive championships were the main words, and three consecutive championships had not yet been won, so it was not good to make it into a banner. Shouting it as a blessing slogan had been shouted throughout the entire event.

The players from both teams finally began to enter the arena.

The entrance ceremony was not much different from the regular season. As Hundred Blossoms' home field, they naturally praised Hundred Blossoms more, and the sound waves stirred up at the scene were much louder. Samsara, even though they were now the most popular consecutive championship team, only had the share of being extinguished at the home field of the playoff team. The teams that could enter the playoffs were bound to have a very solid foundation of popularity.

Television broadcasts would certainly not miss any of the playoff games, and the commentators were naturally Pan Lin and Li Yibo, this signature combination. Originally, the program team wanted to invite a third guest commentator, like they did for Happy's match against Tiny Herb. That time, they invited another commentator, but there were many active players who did not have games to play in the playoffs, and the broadcaster wanted to invite some famous players to commentate together.

For this game, the program team thought of a wonderful person.

Sun Zheping!

The former Hundred Blossoms player would naturally be a highlight if he was a guest on the show.

As a result, the program team's invitation to Sun Zheping was rejected without even thinking about it. Getting rejected right away greatly dampened the morale of the program team. For a time, they did not come up with a suitable alternative candidate. The first playoff game ended up being a double act by Pan Lin and Li Yibo.

After introducing the players from both sides, the game had not yet started, so they naturally had to find topics to chat about.

"These two teams just faced each other in the last round of the regular season, and as a result, they met again after a week." Pan Lin said.

"In multiple consecutive games, these two teams will have a deeper understanding of each other. In this situation, there are no secrets between each other. It depends on the execution and changes of their respective tactics." Li Yibo said.

"Actually, looking at the record of the two teams in the regular season, the Hundred Blossoms team has a slight advantage with a score of 11 to 9; however, in the online voting conducted before the game, as many as 81% of the players are optimistic about the Samsara team!" Pan Lin said.

"It seems that Samsara's outstanding performance this season has helped them gain a lot of support and confidence!" Li Yibo said.

"What will this game be like?" Pan Lin looked very expectant.

"Hey, hey! Aren't you guys watching the game?"

At Happy Team, Chen Guo was guarding the TV in the conference room. She watched as the game was about to begin, but no one came over. She strangely rushed to the training room, but saw that everyone was focused on their computers.

"We're watching, but not now." Ye Xiu said.

"Then when are we watching?" Chen Guo was confused.

"We'll watch the recorded version later." Ye Xiu said.

So Chen Guo understood. Ye Xiu and the others were not watching for the victory or defeat, nor for the excitement, but to extract information from the playoff games. So this kind of television broadcast was certainly not as free as operating the recorded version themselves.

Since everyone wasn't watching, Chen Guo suddenly felt bored. It was said that at such a wonderful moment in the playoffs, a Glory fan would pay close attention to the team they supported. But now Chen Guo was no longer a simple Glory fan, and she prioritized things from Happy's perspective. So after hearing Ye Xiu's words, she also felt that this was no longer a wonderful performance, but valuable information, and she also felt that it would be better to watch the recording after the game.

The sound of shouts was constantly coming from the first floor of the Internet cafe. Happy Internet Cafe's custom of broadcasting games had not been abandoned, and the playoffs were naturally held without fail. Chen Guo gently closed the door of the training room, allowing Ye Xiu and the others to continue to focus on their work.

Bang!

Just as she closed the door, she heard a sound behind her. Looking back, it was Wu Chen from the guild department.

He glanced in the direction of the conference room. Through the open door, he could see the projection screen that had been hung up, showing the upcoming game, but there seemed to be no one in the room, and Chen Guo was gently closing the door of the training room.

"Isn't everyone watching the game?" Wu Chen said.

"They'll watch the recording later." Chen Guo said.

"Oh!" Wu Chen, who came from a professional background, immediately understood.

"Everyone is really working hard!" Wu Chen said with emotion.

"Yeah!" Chen Guo nodded. At this time, the shouts sounded again downstairs, and Chen Guo couldn't help but glance towards the conference room.

"Boss, aren't you watching either?" Wu Chen asked.

"I... I'm watching!" Chen Guo nodded. She was still a little curious. Samsara, Hundred Blossoms, who would win, who would become Happy's possible opponent in the future? If they wanted a lower difficulty to win the championship, it would be good if Samsara was eliminated early!

Chen Guo and Wu Chen came to the conference room together. At this time, the players from both sides had finished their appearances, and the climax before the game was over. The downstairs had also returned to silence. Pan Lin and Li Yibo were chatting endlessly on the program. This obviously couldn't cause any climax, until the game was finally about to officially begin.

Thump.

Chen Guo heard a sound behind her. Looking back, it was Guan Rongfei. This guy had sneaked in silently at some point and just sat down after finding a spot.

Was she watching the game with these two today? Chen Guo smiled. It seemed that she had never had such an experience before!

The game finally began. Chen Guo, Wu Chen, and Guan Rongfei were each silently watching the game.

"Who won?"

The Happy Team players had good habits now. At such a crucial moment in the playoffs, it was even more impossible to break them. Around ten o'clock, everyone came out of the training room and saw that the game in the conference room seemed to have ended not long ago, so they came over to casually inquire.

"Samsara." Chen Guo said the result with some helplessness. She was hoping that Hundred Blossoms would win. With this kind of psychological expectation, the game naturally looked more nerve-wracking. As a result, this time she was worried to the end. Hundred Blossoms, fighting on their home field, ultimately lost to Samsara in both the individual and team competitions.

"What's the score?" Ye Xiu asked.

"11 to 7." Chen Guo said.

In the playoff format, the score is based on the number of players eliminated. Samsara won both the individual and team competitions, so they naturally got a full score of 11. Hundred Blossoms fought to the last match in the individual competition, and finally got 4 player eliminations. Before losing the team competition, they eliminated three Samsara players, ultimately getting 7 points.

"Mmm." Ye Xiu nodded.

The score difference was four points, but in terms of the Glory game format, this was not overwhelming. The individual competition fought to the last match, and it was considered evenly matched. Losing three or four player eliminations in the team competition was usually a back-and-forth battle.

"Let's analyze this game again tomorrow!" Ye Xiu said.

Hundred Blossoms' home field.

The audience had already left, and the post-match press conference had ended. Only some staff members were left cleaning up the venue.

Yu Feng returned to the venue once again, returning to the stage.

Lost...

He tried his best, but still lost.

Samsara, who was so strong in the regular season, had become so calm in the playoffs, so calm that it was hard to feel that they were a team with such a strong offense.

With two championships, this team had been completely forged. Fighting away from home, on such an exciting and tense playoff stage, they played so calmly. Hundred Blossoms chose to attack strongly in this round. They hoped to create momentum on their home field. But in the face of Samsara's steady performance, their strong attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, silently dissolved by their opponents.

Lost!

But the loss was not regrettable, the loss was not indignant, the loss seemed... self-evident.

This feeling made Yu Feng feel terrified.

Was the fighting spirit worn down in just one game? Was it subconsciously feeling that Hundred Blossoms really couldn't defeat Samsara?

Yu Feng clenched his fist. He couldn't waver. At this time, he absolutely couldn't waver!
