Chapter 156 Miracle?

The two days of Saturday and Sunday passed quickly. The professional league continued to attract more attention, but the electronic sports weekly on Monday had a fuller half-page dedicated to the offline matches of the Challenger League, which were reaching their critical moment.

Groups A and D had already resolved their suspense after the fourth round. Team Zhuxian and Team Excellent Era had locked in the top spot in their respective groups. The teams advancing as second in their groups were also quite clear.

Groups B and C, however, entered a more chaotic situation after the fourth round. Actually, speaking of suspense, all five teams in Group C still maintained the possibility of advancing after four rounds of battles. The final life-or-death decisions would be determined by the two matches in the last round. This was truly suspenseful. And what about Group B? Although three teams had a chance, Team Happy needed to score more than 8 points against the professional Team Mysterious Wonders in this round. Many people already believed that Happy had no hope. On the online forums, players who looked down on Happy had finally found a topic to vent their feelings on, with various kinds of mockery. Those who were optimistic about Happy often brought up the fact that Happy had swept Team Wuji as an argument to prove Happy's potential. However, this voice was somewhat weak.

In Monday's electronic sports weekly, two reporters who specialized in complete reports also calculated the situation in Group B for the readers. In this round, Team Mysterious Wonders only needed 2 points to ensure their own safety, and one more point would kick Happy out. Such a psychological advantage led the two reporters to be quite optimistic about Mysterious Wonders. However, as a national rather than a regional media outlet, Electronic Sports Home was not convenient to reveal too much bias at this time. On the other hand, the local evening newspaper in the city where Mysterious Wonders was located had a report on the great situation of Mysterious Wonders on the day after the match, and the heartfelt praise and expectation were undisguised.

As for the local media in H City on Happy's side, they used to sing praises for Team Excellent Era. If Excellent Era had stayed in the professional league this season, they would definitely have praised the new team that had emerged in their city and was so eye-catching in the Challenger League. But this season, Excellent Era also came to play in the Challenger League, and the two teams became life-and-death competitors. Moreover, Happy had provoked Excellent Era from the very beginning, which made the local media really difficult. Compared with Excellent Era, it was obviously impossible to expect them to treat Happy fairly. However, the two sides had not yet clashed directly in the Challenger League, and Happy was in a crisis of qualifying, so the media in H City finally made a little voice for the local team. However, this voice had nothing new. The media found the fact that Happy had swept Team Wuji and used it as an argument to expect Happy to create another miracle.

"Miracle?" Ye Xiu smiled when he saw the word that appeared frequently in the report. "They're using this word now. I don't know what words they'll use to describe us when we defeat Excellent Era. I'm a little worried for them!"

"Hehe..." Chen Guo gave a dry laugh. These days had been difficult for her, with all kinds of anxiety and worry. Especially when she saw Ye Xiu's unrestrained arrangement without a healer, she couldn't completely relax. Although she knew that Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had a little healing skill, those low-level skills before level 20 couldn't take on the responsibility of a real priest or guardian angel. At such a critical moment, such a bold arrangement made Chen Guo really afraid that she would lose like she did against Team Manipulate because Ye Xiu didn't play in the team competition.

However, the morale of the whole team had been quite good these days, so Chen Guo didn't dare to say her worries and create unexpected emotions. Seeing that the match day was coming, Ye Xiu was still in the mood to ridicule the words in the report, but Chen Guo couldn't calm down anyway.

"Okay, call everyone, let's go!" Ye Xiu got up and went out. There was also a series of opening and locking doors in the corridor. Team Happy set off.

In the last round, the attendance rate at the offline competition site was obviously fuller than in the previous rounds. After some random interviews, many viewers who came to the scene were there for the match between Happy and Mysterious Wonders.

"I'm not a fan of Mysterious Wonders, but I'm definitely not a fan of Happy. I hope that Mysterious Wonders can get 3 points in this match and let Happy go home!"

This was the most common voice among the randomly interviewed viewers. But at the same time, on the scene, everyone also found a new banner: Ye Xiu, welcome back!

The issue of Ye Xiu, that is, Ye Qiu, had been completely clarified, and there was no trouble under the cover of the league. Ye Qiu was said to be the name Ye Xiu used when he participated in the competition, like a stage name. And now, he directly returned with his real name.

The final confirmation of this identity also confirmed the heavy news of "Great God's comeback." The influence of the number one God in history was naturally extraordinary. Although the act of forming a team and fighting Team Excellent Era to the death in the Challenger League caused dissatisfaction among many Excellent Era fans, there were also many players who liked this God but had no feelings for Excellent Era. They welcomed the comeback of the God.

There were even many fans of other teams who began to wave flags and recruit for their own teams, and they wished that the God would join their teams. Various analysis posts such as "Reasons for Ye Qiu to come to Team xx" began to become very popular on the Internet.

Among them, the most tragic one was a fan of Team Tyranny, who shouted loudly for Ye Xiu to join Team Tyranny and create the most top-level and gorgeous combination in history. As a result, he was besieged by the die-hard fans of Team Tyranny. Obviously, for the most loyal fans of Team Tyranny, Ye Qiu was the most hated Glory player, without exception. The die-hard fans even solemnly threatened Team Tyranny, saying that if they recruited Ye Qiu, they would boycott all of Team Tyranny's next matches to protest, as if Ye Qiu's joining Team Tyranny was already a real thing...

Therefore, at the scene of the Challenger League, some supporters of the Great God Ye Qiu gradually gathered. This was probably the most gratifying thing for Chen Guo during this period of time.

At the same time, Sun Zheping's appearance in Team Happy also caused a high degree of attention. Especially the Hundred Blossoms fans, all kinds of surprised, all kinds of stunned. Reporters contacted Team Hundred Blossoms, and the club said that they did not know about Sun Zheping's comeback. At the same time, they declared that Team Hundred Blossoms had no intention of contacting Sun Zheping for the time being. In the future, they would still build around Yu Feng as the core.

News and gossip surrounding various events emerged one after another, but for Happy, the current match was the most crucial. And in this round, the match between Happy and Mysterious Wonders would also get a live broadcast from the broadcaster. This was a rare and interesting event in the offline group stage.

At eight o'clock, the match started on time. Since there were 7 other matches going on at the same time, it was not good to focus too much attention on this match. The match between Happy and Mysterious Wonders did not occupy more space on the electronic screen. As for the list of players, it would not be broadcast on the spot, because there were eight matches going on at the same time, and it was impossible to broadcast them all.

The list was also displayed on the electronic screen. Happy's starting player: Sun Zheping.

There was a stir on the spot, after all, for Glory fans who were a little older, this name was also really brilliant.

"Is he finally going to play?" Zhang Yiwei said with a confident look on his face, turning his head to look at the Happy crowd on the side. The two sides of the match were quite close to each other, so they could communicate directly.

"There are still many 'finally' moments, use 'finally' sparingly." Ye Xiu said.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Yiwei smiled. The starting player on the Mysterious Wonders side had also been announced. Fang Daxu, a knight player who had been in the Mysterious Wonders lineup for two consecutive seasons. Mysterious Wonders was relegated, and no team extended an olive branch, so his strength was not outstanding.

The players from both sides entered the competition seats and began to load their characters. Zhang Yiwei turned his head and looked at Ye Xiu again: "Sun Zheping's hand injury, is there no problem?"

"What do you think?" Ye Xiu said.

"What I say should be used with caution, right?" Zhang Yiwei said.

Chen Guo on the side was shocked when she heard this. How did they know this? Could there be a traitor?! But seeing Ye Xiu's calmness, he smiled and didn't answer. He knew that although Zhang Yiwei was not a particularly outstanding player, he had been in the circle for some years and was well-informed. It was not difficult to guess Sun Zheping's situation, but he couldn't confirm it in the end, so how could Ye Xiu let him get the information out of him?

"This match is a good one." Zhang Yiwei then smiled.

"It seems you've put in a lot of effort in your research!" Ye Xiu said. The starting lineup of each team is generally not revealed in advance, so guessing the lineup and making targeted arrangements is one of the knowledge of playing the game. Zhang Yiwei's expression and attitude seemed to guess that Happy would let Sun Zheping play first.

"You are in urgent need of points. If Sun Zheping doesn't play yet, then he won't have any meaning in your team. If there is pressure on your hand injury, it is better to play earlier, so that you can rest more before the team competition." Zhang Yiwei said.

Chen Guo was shocked again. Why did the other party know all these things? Were they all just guessing?

"So sending a knight to play, it seems that this round is to consume the opponent?" Ye Xiu said.

Zhang Yiwei smiled without saying a word, and turned his attention to the game screen. At this time, the characters on both sides had been loaded, the game was confirmed to have started, and the map was loaded.

Because there was no home or away game, there was no home team or away team. The competition maps for the offline teams were all designated by the league, and these maps were specially made by the Glory game for the competition. No team had practiced them beforehand, so it was fair. Then, the maps used in each round and each match were determined and completely announced on the first day of the match, and the maps were open for download. At this time, each team could practice the maps they would use.

The characters of both sides entered the character and began to walk towards the center of the map. Sun Zheping, as a former God, would of course be mentioned and introduced in the live broadcast commentary. The commentator introduced his past honors, style, and deeds eloquently, and felt comfortable in his heart. It was good to broadcast the games of professional players, at least they had content and stories. Those player teams could only talk about the game dryly, without any adjustment.

Before Sun Zheping's background was finished, the two characters met, and the commentator quickly paused to focus on the match first.

"Oh, the two sides are now in contact."

"Mysterious Wonders' Fang Daxu seems to have adopted a defensive posture from the beginning, ready to counterattack."

"Sun Zheping directly attacked."

"Wow! Ultimate move, he used an ultimate move from the beginning, this confidence, he is worthy of being a former God!"

"Combo! Oh, the connection is beautiful, it seems that Sun Zheping's skills have not been lost after so many years of not playing the game."

"Fang Daxu is now at an absolute disadvantage!"

"A wave of 12 hits combo! The number of hits is not high, but the output is quite considerable, concise and practical! Huh..."

"The attack is connected, another wave... That was a fake combo just now, so the combo was broken from the system's technical statistics, but the attack was still connected. Fang Daxu is having a hard time dealing with it, right?"

"Fang Daxu's situation is very passive!"

"Fang Daxu has to find a way quickly."

"Fang Daxu is in danger..."

"Fang Daxu..."

"He's dead..."

"Uh... about the situation of this player Sun Zheping, let's talk about it later in the match..." The commentator sweated a bit, he didn't even have a chance to talk about Sun Zheping's past, and this match was over.
