Ye Xiu also gets tired.

Perhaps sometimes, willpower can be used to overcome fatigue, but Chen Guo believed Ye Xiu didn't lack willpower. If he needed to rest, it was the same reason he insisted on letting Wei Chen and Luo Ji play in matches: he also needed to prepare for the playoffs, he needed to have one hundred percent of his energy to face the playoffs.

And now, although deeply mired in the struggle for the top eight, Happy was, after all, the one with the most points ahead.

Chen Guo tried to think of it in the best possible light. And the team battle training this week was naturally focused on situations without Ye Xiu and Lord Grim.

Soon, May 8th, the thirty-fourth round of matches began.

Happy and the other five teams were fighting to the death for the top eight, while the powerhouses before them had already entered the rhythm of major practice for the playoffs.

Team Blue Rain was constantly changing their team match lineup.

Team Tiny Herb was trying hard to find a team style that wasn't too dependent on Wang Jiexi.

After the three veterans of Team Tyranny started appearing together in that round, they stopped rotating and played every singles and team match.

And in this round, Tyranny was at home, welcoming Team Wind Howl.

The Tyranny fans, who didn't have any deep grudges with them, were ordinarily cheering for their team. But when the lineup for the first singles match came out, the entire stadium was stunned.

Tyranny, Zhang Jiale.

Wind Howl, Sun ZhepING.

Team Hundred Blossom, the dazzling flowers and blood-soaked scene, one of the league's most classic combinations, the former two partners unexpectedly met in this match.

A long-awaited reunion, but the result was a confrontation that had never happened before.

Tyranny and Wind Howl didn't care too much about this one point, but the meaning these two people carried...

Whether it was the Tyranny fans at home or the Wind Howl fans who came with the team, none of them had as deep a bond with these two as the Hundred Blossom fans. But how many people hadn't heard of the past madness of these two?

In the history of Glory, the dazzling flowers and blood-soaked scene was destined to be a strong stroke. Although they ultimately failed to win the championship, success and failure aren't the only measures of heroes on the arena.

The past glory ended in the summer five years ago. The two reunited on the field at this time, with no more dazzling flowers and blood-soaked scene, only victory and defeat.

But this victory or defeat wasn't very important. After seeing this matchup, all the spectators were more concerned about what these partners, who had left countless regrets, would say when they met again on the field.

So no one watched the match, everyone was staring at the public channel on the electronic screen.

Nothing, there was nothing.

The two didn't talk or chat, just had their characters rush out and meet in the center of the map.

Dazzling flowers bloomed, enveloping Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. But this time, the berserker's sword wasn't going to create a blood-soaked scene again. Even if it was, it would be using Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' blood.

Charge!

Sun ZhepING's berserker, Summer Sleep Again, charged. Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossom style of play, who would understand it better than him? This style of play relies on light and shadow effects, and there's no friendly fire immunity in this effect, so it hurts both the enemy and yourself. Sun ZhepING, as the most tacit partner who once stood in this light and shadow to fight with him, how could he not know how to distinguish directions and find targets in this light and shadow?

But this time, he was looking for the master of this light and shadow.

Blood Shadow Sword!

The crimson heavy sword shadow instantly tore a crack in the light and shadow. Summer Sleep Again stepped onto what seemed like a pure land.

"Oh..." The whole stadium made a sound as if saying "I understand." From Sun ZhepING's perspective, they could see that the light and shadow didn't cause any confusion to him, his vision was so clear.

As expected! Everyone was thinking, as expected of old partners, they understand each other too well.

But only for this moment, when Summer Sleep Again continued to advance, further approaching Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, the light and shadow suddenly overlapped and stacked, trapping Summer Sleep Again in it.

Is that so?

Sun ZhepING turned his view, looking around. This time, he couldn't see through it.

So the Hundred Blossom style of play has undergone many changes! These years, I deliberately didn't pay attention to it, now, I really can't keep up with the pace...

However, this isn't enough to stump myself, right? I'll never forget the theory of this style of play! Is it too late to start learning now?

Summer Sleep Again charged left and right in the light and shadow, as if searching for direction.

The audience watched silently, while Zhang Jiale, who was operating the Hundred Blossom light and shadow, gradually showed a look of surprise.

This wasn't the Hundred Blossom style of play from the days when he and Sun ZhepING were partners. After all, levels, equipment, and skills have evolved so much over the years. But in this match, Sun ZhepING's Summer Sleep Again gradually caught up step by step from the far end, and gradually stepped on the rhythm of the new Hundred Blossom style of play.

Sun ZhepING only needed one match to thoroughly understand the Hundred Blossom style of play.

As expected of old partners. Zhang Jiale watched as Summer Sleep Again finally rushed out in front of his Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. The heavy sword chopped down without hesitation, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms jumped away and counterattacked.

Summer Sleep Again fell, rushing out of the cage of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' light and shadow, he had already reached his limit...

"Add oil." Sun ZhepING said as he fell.

"Yeah." Zhang Jiale replied.

The only exchange in the whole match...

At the same time, Ye Xiu, who wasn't playing in the team match but was still in the first singles match, had already helped Happy take the lead.

Then Luo Ji and Wei Chen came on stage one after the other. This time, Luo Ji won and Wei Chen lost a point. Victory and defeat on the field were normal, but Luo Ji and Wei Chen were in a relatively delicate position. Whenever they lost a point, someone would jump out to question Happy's arrangement. It was as if if it weren't for the two of them, anyone else would definitely score a point.

There's never one hundred percent on the field.

So although Wei Chen lost a point, he was very magnanimous.

Then in the team arena, Happy simply and neatly won the victory, entering the team match with a score of 4 to 1.

As soon as the team match lineup came out, without Ye Xiu, the scene immediately began to murmur.

Did they start letting the main force rest? The team is really confident! Everyone thought so, and no one was overly worried about it, after all, Team Lightweight was not strong and didn't have any special fighting spirit.

But in the end, Happy lost the team match at home.

4 to 6. The electronic scoreboard recorded all of this. At a crucial moment in the sprint to the playoffs, Happy lost a team match.

The reason? Ye Xiu didn't play.

There was no way to get around this. Core players are like this, even if they're not on the field, they have to take the main responsibility for the team's failure. You're not on the field! This is your biggest mistake...

Happy paid the price for their arrogance!

Many media reported this, especially the gang that blacked Happy, they especially liked this angle.

In the post-match preparation room, it was quiet.

Everyone saw Ye Xiu's hard work. In any case, no one in Team Happy would have any objection to Ye Xiu's choice to rest, even at this crucial moment of scoring points. Everyone was annoyed, everyone blamed themselves, they lost points because Ye Xiu wasn't on the field.

No one spoke, everyone quietly watched the TV in the preparation room. The TV was broadcasting the round of the match between Samsara and 301.

In the crucial point-grabbing schedule, there was also an opponent like Samsara. 301 seemed unlucky. But many people also felt that Team 301 might be lucky.

Because no team's position was more stable than Samsara's. After 33 rounds, with 282 points, they led the second place by more than 42 points.

Samsara didn't need any classification in the regular season. They could freely let the main force rest, or train newcomers, or practice tactics, they had no pressure.

This situation might give their opponents a chance to take advantage of. Meeting Samsara might be easier to fight.

301 won two matches in the singles matches. Samsara really sent rookie players here, and everyone believed their judgment.

As a result, in the team arena, Samsara was still their strongest lineup, winning.

In the team match, it was also their main lineup this season. At this time, the match hadn't ended, but Team 301's defeat was already set.

Samsara, who had already won two consecutive championships, was still hungry. They didn't relax, they didn't let the team enter garbage or performance time, they were still wholeheartedly treating the match, they were maintaining their belief in winning, they didn't want to slack off before the sprint.

Rest the main force? They might not need to. Samsara's players were all in their prime, and for them, an e-sports match once a week wasn't a burden at all.

In this way, Samsara ultimately won the match, 8 to 2. Samsara didn't give Team 301 the so-called loophole.

In the 34th round, Samsara scored 290 points. At this time, Blue Rain's match against He Wu had also ended. Although Blue Rain won 9 to 1, they only narrowed the gap with Samsara from 42 points to 41 points.

There were still four rounds of matches left, and Samsara led the second place by 41 points.

At Samsara's home stadium, the applause and cheers reached the peak of the regular season when they won.

Team Samsara had secured the regular season championship four rounds in advance. Although there was no trophy for this, it was still a proud achievement.

Samsara, who was fighting at home, had obviously anticipated this situation, so they arranged a small celebration ceremony in advance. Of course, the scale of the ceremony was small, just a point. After all, the season hadn't ended yet, and starting large-scale celebrations now would be a bit inconsiderate of other teams.

Samsara locked in a gorgeous ending for their regular season four rounds in advance. And Happy was still sinking deeper into the quagmire because of the loss of the team match in this round.

In this round, other competitors: Howling Heights won 8 to 2 against Royal Wind, Thunderclap won 9 to 1 against Misty Rain, and Hundred Blossom won 9 to 1 against Void.

So Thunderclap, with 226 points, led Happy by 3 points and climbed to fifth place, pushing Happy to sixth. Hundred Blossom won one point over Howling Heights and sat at seventh. Howling Heights and Team 301 were tied again, and the rankings were determined by small points. Howling Heights was eighth, and 301 was pushed to ninth.

The situation was even more deadlocked. Happy was only 7 points away from ninth place at this time. And in the thirty-fifth round, Happy would meet a strong enemy, Team Thunderclap, who had just led them by three points, and they would be fighting away from home.
