Chapter 1070 New Team Press Conference
Overall, the Alliance's landscape hadn't changed much. Though Team Howling Wind had risen powerfully, other powerhouses hadn't fallen behind. It was Team Thunderclap and Team 301 that had failed to make the playoffs after losing Xiao Shiqin and Xu Bin respectively. Team Hundred Blossoms had a rather unlucky start, teetering for the first half of the season. But after a major roster change, they suddenly began a powerful chase. From the team to the fans, an incomparably high fighting spirit was ignited. They played better and better, finally catching the last train to the playoffs.
With the final rankings determined, the playoff matchups were revealed. The most intense collision in the first round was naturally the clash between Blue Rain and Tiny Herb, ranked fourth and fifth respectively. For these two teams, both worthy of being called champion-level powerhouses, such a collision would inevitably be labeled by the media as a "final in advance." Adding that the two teams had always been at odds and that each had exceptionally dazzling young successors this season, this match was significant and full of talking points.
But in terms of buzz, there was no doubt that the first-round match between the first-ranked Tyranny and the eighth-ranked Hundred Blossoms would attract more attention.
Zhang Jiale's return and joining Tyranny had been a topic of debate since the decision was revealed. And now, Zhang Jiale, who had joined Tyranny, would be directly facing the Hundred Blossoms team he once led. What kind of collision would occur between the two "flowers"? No one who liked a good spectacle would miss it.
The other two matches were Samsara against Void, and Howling Wind against Misty Rain. Compared to the previous two matches, the excitement was slightly reduced, but this was only relative. None of the teams that could enter the playoffs were weak.
On the other side of laughter, there was always someone shedding tears.
Eight teams proudly entered the playoffs, but there were also two teams that had to leave the professional alliance in disappointment. And these eliminated weak teams were difficult to attract any attention, except from their fans. On the contrary, the teams that would replace them in the alliance next season attracted a lot of attention.
Myth Team!
Through the Alliance's approval, another brand new professional team was born. At the Alliance's press conference on Monday of the new week, they made their debut, expressing their determination and will with great ambition. In previous years, this kind of newly born team would have aroused a lot of curiosity and attention. But this time, the reporters under the stage were hoping that this bunch of so-called myths would hurry up and finish their rambling, because everyone was waiting for the next team, Happy, the one with Ye Xiu, who miraculously defeated Team Excellent Era and entered the Alliance.
So, against this background, the reporter question time after Myth Team's speech was especially taciturn. In the end, some seasoned and prudent reporters symbolically asked a few routine questions. Then, in the Alliance's press officer's repeated inquiries of "no more questions?" and "are there any more questions below?" that received no feedback, the members of Team Myth retreated with grievances.
As a result, as soon as Myth retreated, the reporters who had been lifeless just now immediately became energetic, and a few who had been drooling from sleep seemed to be fully charged and radiant.
"Is it Happy's turn? Where are they, where are they?"
The members of Team Myth hadn't even left completely yet. Seeing the reactions of these reporters below, they wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Ahem... next, please welcome Team Happy..." The Alliance press officer helplessly continued to host.
"They're here, they're here!!" The reporters' excitement was beyond words. As soon as the members of Happy appeared, the scene was immediately filled with flashing lights. Even as the members of Happy took their seats one by one, the flashes continued, especially towards the first seat, Ye Xiu. Damn it, they hadn't been able to photograph him for so many years, they had to take enough photos today.
Ye Xiu was so blinded that he could hardly open his eyes. Even the Alliance press officer on the side couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice, announcing the start of the press conference.
This press conference was for the debut of the new team, and all members would participate, but it also had to comply with the regulations. For example, Su Mucheng, it wouldn't be very realistic for her to sit on the stage at this time. As for Sun Zheping, he had already said goodbye to the members of Happy at this time and had gone to Yizhan to prepare for the next season with them, so he didn't attend again. And there was also Wu Chen. Ye Xiu and Chen Guo had both consulted his opinion, but Wu Chen clearly stated that he was very satisfied to be able to play and contribute in such a wonderful final battle. He no longer had any expectations for his professional career, and he hoped to focus entirely on the guild business next.
Really no longer have any expectations?
Ye Xiu and Chen Guo didn't ask this question, because they actually knew the answer.
Wu Chen, of course, still had expectations, but he had also recognized reality even more clearly. He wasn't young, and his skill wasn't high. An occasional highlight performance couldn't explain too much. More importantly, he knew very well that Su Mucheng would be joining Happy next season. The Alliance's number one Launcher, let Wu Chen compete with her for the starting position? Thinking of this, Wu Chen was relieved. He was a player with limited talent. To be able to perform in such an important and high-level game and help the team enter the professional alliance was already his peak. To pursue higher goals was somewhat unrealistic for him.
Wu Chen withdrew from the team, but he still appeared at the press conference as the guild leader of Happy. The guild department had always been one of the most important departments of the club, and it could be called the left and right arm of a team's logistical support, along with the technical development department. Guild leader? The guild leader of any player guild wasn't a big deal, but if it was the guild leader of a club guild, then it was very high and powerful.
Team Happy made its debut, the press conference began, and first was the introduction of the main members. Then, of course, Chen Guo, as the boss, had to be the real first person, so she had to say a few words first. Because the Alliance had notified them long ago, the speech was naturally prepared in advance. But Chen Guo, despite being usually carefree, was really a bit timid in this kind of occasion. But when she thought that she was the boss of Happy, who had defeated Excellent Era, Chen Guo still mustered her courage.
And then, of course, it was the captain's turn to say a few words.
Ye Xiu, ah, after so many years, he could finally be seen on such an occasion. The flashes of light immediately went up again.
The boss, Chen Guo, represented the entire club, although their club didn't actually have many detailed departments yet, but that's what it was in name. And the captain represented the team.
Ye Xiu's speech was highly anticipated! But as they listened, some reporters with good memories began to scratch their heads.
"Isn't this wrong? Doesn't this speech sound a bit familiar?"
"Is it?"
"Yes, I've definitely heard it somewhere, I remember it."
"Pick a few keywords and search for them?"
"Yeah, just this sentence, I'm too familiar with it, I'll search."
Soon, the answer came out, and the reporter burst into tears. Damn it, wasn't this the captain's speech when Team Yizhan joined the Alliance last year? You finally get to attend a press conference, can't you die if you don't do this perfunctorily?
