Chapter 1 Xingxin's Troubles

In the eyes of other teams, Xingxin was just a nuisance. In the past, newly joined teams wouldn't warrant such in-depth study. Those popular candidates for relegation weren't even considered as significant as the "soy sauce teams" (insignificant teams) by the powerhouses. But Xingxin was different; every team felt uneasy if they didn't take them seriously. Fortunately, the matches were played one at a time. Over the course of a season, each team would only face Xingxin twice at most. Those whose matches against Xingxin were still far off on the schedule weren't in a rush. However, the most anxious team at the moment was Hundred Blossoms, who would be facing Xingxin in the second round.

Hundred Blossoms had barely scraped into the playoffs last season and gave Tyranny a lot of trouble in the first round. After waving goodbye to the old Dazzling Flowers and Blood-Soaked Scenery combination, their condition had improved. Yu Feng, the new generation's number one Berserker, had already established himself in Hundred Blossoms. To some extent, his strength had diminished Sun Zheping's influence on Hundred Blossoms. Adding the passage of time, reuniting with Sun Zheping was actually quite ordinary. At least, Hundred Blossoms wasn't as nervous as they were about facing Xingxin in this round.

Because Hundred Blossoms was, after all, a team wandering on the edge of the playoffs, they could easily fall behind with a slight oversight. Therefore, in their opinion, Xingxin was a particularly crucial opponent. The ups and downs of both sides' scores could affect who would ultimately enter or exit the playoffs this season.

But no matter how much effort they put in, Xingxin's data only consisted of those two matches. Against Excellent Era, they demonstrated sophisticated tactical designs with interlocking links, but against Samsara, Xingxin's tactical routines were broken up by Samsara before they could even operate.

"Samsara has become even stronger this season!" said Mo Chuchen, the Cleric player of Hundred Blossoms.

But soon, under the gaze of all the team members, Mo Chuchen hurriedly changed his words, "Watch Xingxin, watch Xingxin."

Yes, he had missed the point. But the problem was that it was really impossible to see too much of Xingxin's condition in this match. Their tactics collapsed before they could even be displayed.

At the post-match press conference, Xingxin kept saying "rusty" this and "rusty" that, causing the reporters to completely break down. However, after careful research by the Hundred Blossoms team, they felt that this "rusty" excuse should be the truth, right?

Samsara was a two-time consecutive champion team, so there was no need to say more about their strength. Moreover, this team was also a strong offensive team. Especially with the addition of Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf, having such good players in siege warfare made their attack even stronger and their rhythm even faster. So, Xingxin met Samsara right away, and from the performance of the team competition, they were indeed a little unaccustomed to Samsara's high rhythm, and their awareness was always half a beat slower. Although they tried to adjust the tactical rhythm, by the time they adjusted, Samsara had already moved on to the next beat.

After all, dealing with Samsara was different from dealing with Excellent Era. Excellent Era was a team that Ye Xiu knew extremely well, and there was a clear tactical focus on them. In addition, Excellent Era had been crushing vegetables (easily defeating weak opponents) in the Challenger League for a year, and their rhythm was somewhat out of sync with the professional circle, which was incomparable to the champion team.

Xingxin needs to adapt to the rhythm of professional matches, which is undoubtedly good news for Hundred Blossoms. Then, the tactical style of the next match has been roughly determined.

Play fast!

The Hundred Blossoms players reached a consensus. As for each playstyle, each team naturally has its own suitable organization and routines. The next week will be dedicated to practicing the specific playstyle for the next match. This is the professional circle, this is the professional competition, and every match is a sharp confrontation of organization and competition.

A week passed quickly, and the second round of matches started soon.

The two most watched matches in this round were Hundred Blossoms challenging Xingxin away from home. Everyone had been discussing what Xingxin's level was for a week.

The other match was Thunder vs. Void. After Xiao Shiqin's return, the Thunder team also made some adjustments in the summer transfer window, revealing their ambition. As for the Void team, the Double Ghost duo was a classic combination, but it always gave people the feeling that the two of them could not support the overall situation. But now, Void has shown some room for development, not from transfers, but from their internal growth.

Last season, Blue Rain's new young player Lu Hanwen was in the limelight. He was selected into the All-Star lineup as soon as he entered the league, which meant the rise of another new star. In the end, the best rookie of the ninth season was unsurprisingly won by Lu Hanwen, but was this result really so undisputed? At least in the eyes of Void team fans, it was definitely not.

Last season, their team also produced a newcomer, the Exorcist player: Gai Caijie.

Gai Caijie is 19 years old now, which is a youthful age no matter where you put him. But in the electronic sports professional circle where players are getting younger and younger, the 19-year-old Gai Caijie was immediately crowned with all the compliments that should not belong to young people, such as mature and stable, compared to the 15-year-old Lu Hanwen.

Gai Caijie is indeed very steady and has the demeanor of a great general. He did not show any panic as a newcomer alongside the famous Double Ghost combination in Glory. His performance has been very stable. Although Void is still centered on the Double Ghosts, he occasionally reveals the temperament of a protagonist. This is by no means him wanting to usurp the throne, it's just his playing style that inadvertently reveals this style. This is a player who has the potential to become a core and carry the banner of a team.

What people have always expected is a good helper to appear in the Double Ghost lineup, but now, what has appeared is a young man who occasionally makes the Double Ghosts become supporting players. The two seniors seem to have no objection to this, and Void can often achieve good results when Gai Caijie shows his ability.

Even if such a player cannot grow into the core of the team, he can definitely be a general who can stand alone in the team. It is a pity that his steadiness prevents him from being as passionate on the court as Lu Hanwen. The attention he receives is inevitably much less, which is what the Void team has always been aggrieved about for him. In the end, in the selection of the best rookie, Lu Hanwen overwhelmingly took away most of the votes, which made the Void side feel even more aggrieved for Gai Caijie, who was far behind in second place.

However, these things did not affect Gai Caijie. Another summer has passed, and he has become more mature. The newcomer who just debuted last season is now an indispensable member of the Void team, and the first round of the match proved this point.

In the first round of the match, Void encountered the 301 team and played very hard. And in this match, it was Gai Caijie who finally grabbed the classification for Void. He also scored a point in the individual competition, and after the 301 team took the lead in the team competition, he stabilized the position and led the team to launch a counterattack, and finally won the big score in the team competition. .

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cong, the captain of the 301 team, greatly praised Gai Caijie. He even said that Gai Caijie reminded him of Wang Jiexi, who was in the same period as him, although the two had completely different playing styles on the field. Subsequently, Li Yihui, a former All-Star Judo player from Tiny Herb who later came to the 301 team in an exchange transfer with the 301 player Xu Bin, also agreed with their captain's statement.

Thunder vs. Void, this match will be the match that Glory TV will broadcast in the second round. Although everyone's curiosity about Xingxin has not been erased, TV broadcasts can only choose one match per round, and it is not good to turn the entire season into Xingxin's special show, right?

On September 12, the second round of the tenth season of the Glory Professional League kicked off. The audience sitting in front of the TV saw the home court of the Void team as scheduled. But Pan Lin, who was responsible for the commentary, seemed more restless than anyone else.

"Hello, audience friends, this is the Glory Professional League's tenth season, the second round of the match, the match between Thunder and Void. Now the players from both sides are entering the arena. Of course, the first thing to be carried out is the individual competition duel. At the same time, there is another match that everyone cares about very much, that is, the match between Hundred Blossoms and Xingxin away from home, which is also being held in H City. As everyone knows, after Excellent Era's failure in the Challenger League last season, the original boss Tao Xuan sold almost all of Excellent Era's assets. However, the home stadium of Excellent Era, the Excellent Era Gymnasium, many people may think that this is also an asset belonging to Excellent Era, right? In fact, it is not. The Excellent Era Gymnasium was formerly called Xiaoshan Gymnasium, which is a public gymnasium in H City. After the establishment of the Glory Professional League, and the competition gradually needed this kind of live broadcast, it was leased by Excellent Era for a long time, and later it was renamed Excellent Era Gymnasium. But now the lease contract has been terminated early, and the gymnasium has also restored its old name of Xiaoshan Gymnasium, and now, it has been temporarily leased by Xingxin and has become their home stadium. To be honest, this is not surprising! Currently, the only venue in H City that has the conditions for Glory holographic projection broadcasting is this one!"

"Cough cough!" Two heavy coughs interrupted Pan Lin's introduction. Pan Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was the scene of the match between Thunder and Void, but after introducing two sentences in the live commentary, he immediately went to explain the situation of the Xingxin team from a distance. The director arranged for this commentary to report the situation of the match between Hundred Blossoms and Xingxin in a timely manner, but it was enough to say it when there were results, and there was no need to go overboard like this!

"Let's go back to the scene." Pan Lin quickly pulled his thoughts back from Xiaoshan Gymnasium, and his old partner Li Yibo was also happily joking with him at this time: "It seems that our Xiao Pan is quite concerned about the match between Hundred Blossoms and Xingxin!"

"Uh, we will introduce the situation of the other match to the audience in a timely manner during the match." Pan Lin said.

"Okay, now the match between Thunder and Void is about to begin. First of all, it is the individual competition. The players from both sides are Dai Yanqi from Thunder and Li Xun from Void!" Pan Lin began to focus on the match in front of him.

At this time, standing in the venue that had been changed back to the name "Xiaoshan Gymnasium", Ye Xiu was filled with emotion.

Although the name has been changing, the facilities in the venue have not changed much. The only additions are some adjustments made to facilitate holographic projection.

He's back, after a year and eight months, standing in this place again. His identity has changed, the character he controls has changed, but the feeling of competition will never change.

"I'm going." After Ye Xiu greeted his Xingxin teammates, he walked towards the competition seat.

"Dai Yanqi is firing on all cylinders! Li Xun has no way to approach for the time being, he is using his speed to wander around. Beautiful aerial jump! Turning back and jumping, dodging the magical fluctuations in the air! Ah! Xingxin actually sent Ye Xiu to play in the first match!!"

All the viewers sitting in front of the TV were listening to Pan Lin's commentary on the fierce chase between the mage and the assassin, but suddenly they heard this message.
