“Did you watch this match?” Wei Chen asked Ye Xiu while watching the match about to begin.

“I watched a little bit of it afterward,” Ye Xiu said. Happy Internet Cafe didn't broadcast the match that day, so Ye Xiu watched the recording later.

“Oh.” Wei Chen nodded and stopped talking. The match on the screen had already started and was progressing quickly. After the individual competition and team arena competition, Wei Chen was already holding his forehead.

“What a sin! Look, this is all your fault! What exactly did you do to them!” Wei Chen seemed to be in great pain.

Ye Xiu was expressionless and just watched the match quietly. In the team competition that followed, Excellent Era was defeated miserably. In the end, Excellent Era suffered a crushing defeat of 1 to 9 against Thunderclap. The disgusting performance made Wei Chen hold his forehead, and it also made Xiao Shiqin, the captain of Thunderclap, their opponent at the time, a little at a loss at the post-match press conference. Faced with the question that all players knew by heart, “What do you think of your opponent's performance today?”, Xiao Shiqin was stumped.

“Absolutely worthless, absolutely worthless. Are there any post-match technical statistics?” Wei Chen asked.

“Yes.” Ye Xiu then opened another document, which was actually the technical statistics of each match in each round of this season, corresponding to the recordings.

“Oh my god… Get me a basin quickly, I'm going to throw up.” Wei Chen exclaimed exaggeratedly after taking a look at Excellent Era's technical statistics.

“Let's watch the next match!” Ye Xiu was still calm.

“How about the next match? Are you watching this? Give me a heads up beforehand, I'm afraid my heart can't take it. I'm getting old, it's not easy,” Wei Chen said, clutching his chest and pretending to be an old man in an exaggerated manner. In fact, his so-called "old age" was only in the esports circle of Glory. At less than 30 years old, he should be considered a young man anywhere else.

“The next match will get at least 2 points,” Ye Xiu said calmly.

“Oh, then let's start!” Wei Chen struck a pose as if he was about to watch a horror movie. The recording was opened, and then someone shouted in his ear, “The basin is here!!”

Everyone turned around in surprise and saw that Baozi had slipped out at some point, and now he had returned, holding a basin in his hand, and handed it to Wei Chen: “Throw up…”

“…” Wei Chen stared blankly at Baozi: “Brother, are you serious?”

“Are you fake? Are you going to throw up or not?” Baozi asked suspiciously.

Wei Chen's gaze turned blankly to Ye Xiu: “Are they from our team?”

“Yes,” Ye Xiu nodded.

“Are they here to be funny?” Wei Chen asked.

“Stop talking nonsense, it's starting,” Ye Xiu said, and then told Baozi, “Baozi, put the basin down, let's watch the match first!”

“Then I'll put the basin here, whoever wants to throw up can say so!” Baozi shouted and put the basin in a corner.

A new recording began. This match was a highlight on that match day, and Happy Internet Cafe also broadcast it. It was Excellent Era against Samsara. The final result was that Excellent Era got 2 points in the individual competition, the team arena was swept by Zhou Zekai, and the team competition continued the disgusting performance of the previous match.

“This kid adjusts quickly. He played quite well in this match.” During the replay of the individual competition, in the second match, Wei Chen praised the Excellent Era player on the screen.

The person who played and won for Excellent Era in the second match was Liu Hao. When Ye Xiu nodded in agreement, Chen Guo snorted.

Then in the following third match, Excellent Era lost, but with two points in hand, this loss seemed to be easily accepted. Wei Chen was a little more energetic at this time and felt that he probably wouldn't need the basin in this round of the match. However, after Excellent Era was swept by one person in the team arena, Wei Chen was speechless for a while. In the end, he still helped Excellent Era find an excuse: “Zhou Zekai is very popular now! Excellent Era's situation is not very good, so it's not too out of the ordinary for him to get an ace.”

Ye Xiu didn't comment on this, and the match then entered the team competition.

Wei Chen already knew the result of the team competition even though he hadn't watched it, because Ye Xiu had said that Excellent Era had only scored two points in this round of the match. However, they were studying the match, not looking at the result, but looking at the process. At this time, they wanted to analyze what problems Excellent Era had encountered through the match process.

“How is it, do you want to use the basin?” Ye Xiu asked after the team competition.

Wei Chen actually shook his head seriously, didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

“Continue?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Let's go!” Wei Chen didn't express any opinion on the team competition, but asked Ye Xiu to open the next round of Excellent Era's performance again.

Then round after round, the two of them watched quietly like this. After the recording was finished, they flipped through the technical statistics, but there was still not much communication. Chen Guo, Tang Rou, and Baozi were also watching attentively. However, whether they were watching the inside story or just watching the fun, only they knew.

The recording could naturally skip the rest time during the live broadcast, so it looked coherent. Moreover, Excellent Era mostly lost in a one-sided manner, so it progressed quickly, basically ending within an hour. The few of them watched like this, regardless of the time, until they had reviewed all of Excellent Era's matches after that. Wei Chen had asked for paper and pen from the middle and kept writing something, while Ye Xiu only glanced at what he was writing from time to time and didn't do anything else.

Until the last match ended, everyone couldn't help but look relieved.

“Did you find anything?” Chen Guo couldn't wait to know the result. To her, it was a bit like a suspense film.

“Why is Excellent Era always losing? Did I misjudge them?” Baozi actually commented. But he was obviously an outsider. This Glory expert and Glory newcomer didn't have a deep understanding of Glory's professional circle.

Tang Rou didn't express any opinion, just quietly waiting for Ye Xiu and Wei Chen to speak.

“What do you think?” Wei Chen asked Ye Xiu.

“I've already seen it, tell me your opinion!” Ye Xiu said.

“Lose the battle, but don't lose the spirit, what do you think?” Wei Chen said.

“About the same…” Ye Xiu suddenly sighed.

“What do you mean?” Chen Guo asked, somewhat inexplicably.

Wei Chen raised his ghost-like notebook and tapped on the things that others couldn't understand at all, saying, “The problem with Excellent Era lies in the players' attitude. Through these matches and technical statistics, you can still see some of it.”

“First of all, the impact of the online game incident on some of their players is obvious. That disgusting performance was basically due to this reason. The one most affected by this is undoubtedly their current core player, Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang's impact can also be seen from his performance in the match. Initially, he was undoubtedly deeply affected. He couldn't concentrate at all during the match, so he made frequent mistakes and was completely like a noob. However, as time went on, he slowly adjusted. But this doesn't mean that the impact on him has been completely eliminated. In the subsequent matches, Sun Xiang showed that he was eager to prove himself to explain something. Frankly speaking, with his current level, it's good to pursue honor. His strength and skill have been recognized, and he doesn't need to prove anything anymore. But obviously because of a certain Great God, he may have doubted himself, which is why he looks so anxious. In short, he was initially affected and unable to concentrate on the match, and then he was too focused, so his performance was always erratic. Noob rookies are like this, not good at maintaining their state, which is worth learning from as a warning,” Wei Chen said.

“Mature players who are the opposite of Sun Xiang, a typical representative can be seen in this kid Liu Hao. This guy, except for his extremely abnormal performance in the first round of the match, has been quite stable ever since. Everyone can actually see this by paying attention to his win rate in individual competitions or arena matches. His performance is still good. Even in their disastrous team competitions, Liu Hao has occasional flashes of brilliance.”

“As for the other Excellent Era players, the situation is roughly divided into two parts. One part is also greatly affected, which is the sin of a certain Great God. The other part, like Su Mucheng, and a few substitute players, are in a relatively normal situation. However, this part of them was not harmed by a certain Great God, but was also affected by the team's state. Because the team's performance was terrible, it lowered their originally normal state, and then they infected and influenced each other. That's why the Excellent Era team is now in a very low state.”

“The reason for singling out Sun Xiang and Liu Hao is because these two guys are more of an exception. After Sun Xiang woke up, he was quite energetic, but his energy didn't drive the whole team. There could be many reasons, such as he is a new member of the team, even if he has the title of captain, his actual influence on the team is not that great; it is also possible that he is just eager to prove himself and did not think about changing the state of the team; it is also possible that he wanted to, but was so overwhelmed that he didn't know what to do, so he could only bury his head and work hard. As for Liu Hao, this requires the Great God to explain to everyone. The Great God must know this person better than me, and his analysis will be more reliable,” Wei Chen babbled a lot, but here he handed the words over to Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu sighed again: “Liu Hao's performance is only for his personal future, he has abandoned the team.”

“Hahaha, as expected. That's why I said, lose the battle, but don't lose the spirit. Although Excellent Era's performance is disgusting, guys like Liu Hao still embody their strength. Not only was he not dragged down by the overall state of the team, but he also showed his rarity even more in such an environment. This kind of self-preservation approach is to prepare to climb another high branch! And I think in Excellent Era, there are probably more than just Liu Hao who have this idea. If the team is like this, it would be a miracle if the results were not bad,” Wei Chen said.
