Chapter 1245 Fourteenth Round

The Xingxin supporters' hostile gazes were all directed towards Samsara, which showed how powerful Xingxin was in their hearts. Xingxin's recent performance on the scoreboard was indeed worthy of such a title.

After losing to Tiny Herb in the eighth round, Xingxin began their winning streak. From the ninth round to the just-concluded fourteenth round, they achieved six consecutive victories. Four 10-0 complete victories occurred within these four rounds, and the other two rounds were also dominant scores of 9-1.

In the same period, Samsara's record was three 10-0s, two 9-1s, and one 8-2. Counting only the points from these six rounds, Xingxin's performance was even 2 points ahead of Samsara, not to mention other teams. In these six rounds, Xingxin was the leader of the entire alliance. Not only Xingxin's supporters, but no one dared to take Xingxin lightly anymore. Those who secretly hoped for Xingxin's downfall couldn't help but panic at this time, as this was too far from their expectations.

After fourteen rounds, Xingxin grabbed another 10 points, and with a score of 89 points, they moved up another place on the scoreboard, stepping on Hundred Blossoms to temporarily rank seventh. More importantly, they had a lead of 10 points over Void, which was ranked ninth outside the playoff zone.

Void's players were very disappointed. They never thought that in the previous round, they were tied with Xingxin for eighth place, but after one round, they were thrown out with a difference of 10 points. The players of Void were in low spirits at the post-match press conference. They couldn't blame anyone, and even Void didn't lack highlights in the entire match, but the result lived up to the cliché post-match comment: "We performed well, but our opponents were even better."

More specifically, Su Mucheng, Void's nemesis as always, continued her nemesis style, causing great trouble for Void. This was simply a problem that Void had been unable to solve for several years. Another thing was the tactics in the team competition. Xingxin's boldness achieved a beautiful start, and the caution at the end completely dispelled Void's last thought. They made full use of their home-court advantage.

"Losing to Xingxin. I can only say that it's not unjust. Looking forward to the next match," Void's captain Li Xuan concluded Void's speech at the post-match press conference.

Xingxin won cleanly and neatly against Void.

Samsara's complete victory over Yizhan was even easier.

In the same round, Tiny Herb, Blue Rain, and Tyranny, the traditional top three teams, all finished their matches with 9-1, defeating opponents whose strength was different from theirs. In addition, after losing to Xingxin and Void in the twelfth and thirteenth rounds, Misty Rain defeated Hundred Blossoms 7-3 at home in this round.

Despite this, Hundred Blossoms still temporarily ranked eighth on the scoreboard with 83 points, within the playoff zone. On the other hand, although Misty Rain ushered in a victory, they had already suffered a four-round losing streak before, losing a lot of points. After winning Hundred Blossoms, they were still 10 points behind Hundred Blossoms, temporarily ranking 11th on the scoreboard with 73 points. Their playoff prospects were becoming more and more worrying, which seemed to confirm that their unconventional professional equipment and play style were still not feasible in the professional circle.

Sandwiched between 11th-ranked Misty Rain and 9th-ranked Void was 301. 301 lost to Miracle 3-7 on the road in this round.

The Miracle team currently has 50 points, ranking 14th. If it weren't for Xingxin, a new team that was too monstrous, they would definitely get more attention. Judging from their performance so far, Miracle, as a new team entering the alliance, is not bad. Although they caught a certain opportunity and got three former Excellent Era players that everyone was familiar with, their original team was not without its highlights. Guo Shao attracted a lot of attention, especially as one of the most outstanding rookies this season.

Wind Howl, this former strong team, has completely sunk. In this round, they were defeated by Tiny Herb 9-1, and are currently ranked 12th. This ranking seems to have some hope, but what about Wind Howl's points? 58 points, although in 12th place, is a full 15 points behind 11th-ranked Misty Rain, not to mention the gap with the playoff zone.

The Wind Howl team was the team that competed with Excellent Era for the championship in the finals of the league's initial season, but now it has fallen to this point. But when everyone thought about it, forget Wind Howl, even Excellent Era, which won three consecutive championships, was eliminated and disbanded. In comparison, Wind Howl's decline is considered solid. At least they still have a strong advantage against teams in the relegation zone.

The two teams in the relegation zone, Mysterious Sky and Seaside, have 27 points and 23 points respectively, while the third-to-last Zhao Hua already has 41 points, and the suspense seems to have been strangled early.

Mysterious Sky is fine, they have been a team struggling in the relegation zone for many years, but Seaside, before, was also a team with all-star players and all-star characters. They haven't toured the playoffs, but their mid-stream position was quite stable.

Zhao Yang retired, and Endless Sea was sold directly. They were once sung down. But Seaside was not giving up on themselves. Zhao Yang's retirement was a personal decision of the player that they could only respect, but Endless Sea was Seaside's realization that as a mid-to-lower-level team, it was a big burden to support an all-star-level character and a player with matching strength. And with just such a single star, it seems that there is no way to seek a breakthrough in the increasingly competitive professional alliance. Zhou Zekai's god-like performance is, after all, something that can only be encountered but not sought. Moreover, even Zhou Zekai won consecutive championships after having a group of strong teammates. In order to consolidate this advantage, Samsara brought Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf to reinforce this season.

The Seaside team has limited resources. The luxury route around the star has proven that they cannot afford it. The sale of Endless Sea shows their determination to take the civilian route. They are determined to improve the team's strength as a whole.

Hope is beautiful, but at present, Seaside's improvement is not very good. In this fourteenth round of the competition, they lost to Mysterious Sky, their brothers in difficulty, currently with 23 points, the bottom of the entire alliance.

The post-match press conferences for this pair of brothers in difficulty were so deserted. The few reporters had plenty of opportunities to ask the questions they wanted to ask.

Does the Seaside team have any plans?

When a reporter asked this question, Zhang Lintao, the current captain of the Seaside team on the podium, looked confused and stammered, unable to say anything meaningful.

Compared with these weak teams that seem to be saying goodbye to the alliance, Glory fans are more concerned about those strong teams rushing to the playoffs and even the championship throne. The most watched game in this round was the match between Howling Heights at home against Thunderclap, and the TV station also chose this game as a live broadcast. In the end, Thunderclap continued their strength in the team competition, and the final score was fixed at 4-6. Thunderclap reversed Howling Heights with 5 points in the team competition. The final scene captured at the game site was the scene of Thunderclap's captain Tang Hao kicking a bottle of mineral water when he returned to the player area.

Anyone could see Tang Hao's dissatisfaction with this game.

Winning 2 points in the individual competition, winning the arena competition, and rushing into the team competition with a 4-1 lead, in the end, at home, they were defeated by Thunderclap.

Are there any stars in the Thunderclap team?

Xiao Shiqin is certainly one, but in the arena competition, he didn't get any chance to win against Tang Hao. The Thunderclap team really doesn't have any players that Tang Hao takes seriously. As a result, in the team competition, this group of guys that he didn't take seriously beat them so badly that they couldn't find north on their home map, which Howling Heights chose.

"This is a disgrace!!" Tang Hao fully expressed his dissatisfaction at the post-match press conference. He didn't specifically criticize any of his teammates, but he expressed his full dissatisfaction with the team's loss to Thunderclap. Even though Thunderclap was ranked third on the scoreboard in the thirteenth round, Tang Hao obviously didn't regard Thunderclap as a strong team.

"If such failures continue to happen, I really don't know what the team can use to compete for the championship," Tang Hao said.

The championship is Tang Hao's goal, and it is also the goal of the Howling Heights team. They are no longer satisfied with the rhythm of the playoff tour group. But this season, Howling Heights' performance can't be said to be stable, even worse than last season. In the thirteenth round, they were only ranked sixth with 86 points. Although the gap between them and the other strong teams except Samsara was not too big, it was obviously not enough to satisfy Tang Hao. Even in the regular season, he hoped that the team could have the height of Samsara. But now, after fourteen rounds, Samsara is in first place with 123 points, and Howling Heights is still in sixth place with 90 points, and the gap has widened by as much as 33 points.

Samsara, that's the opponent that Tang Hao thinks they should be. Thunderclap? How could a team that suddenly popped up stop Howling Heights' footsteps? As a result, Thunderclap just blocked them a small step, no wonder Tang Hao was so unhappy.

After the fourteenth round of the overall battle, although Xingxin's strong performance in the last six rounds even crushed the Samsara team, Samsara's advantage of 123 points on the scoreboard is still far ahead. The second-ranked Blue Rain team currently has 99 points, and is completely on a different level from Samsara.

What's even more terrifying is that Samsara experienced a devil's schedule in the early stages of the season, and those teams that might snipe them have already fallen. Next, even if their opponents take action after the trial period and study Samsara, the disparity in strength will still only allow them to send points to Samsara. People can hardly expect these teams to drag Samsara down.

Isn't the suspense of this season ending too quickly?

Many media, players, and commentators have expressed similar views. Samsara's strength is unstoppable, and Mysterious Sky and Seaside's decline doesn't show that they can save themselves. If these seats have been locked, then the only highlight left is the competition for the other playoff seats.

301, Void, and Misty Rain are the three teams that are outside the playoff zone but still maintain their offensive.

You three teams must work hard!

People are praying silently. If these three teams don't exert themselves and create some chaos in the playoff zone, the regular season of this season will really be boring!
