Chapter 350: Domineering declaration and intense preparations for the competition.

"I'll wait for you to come back after the World Championship!"

After Tyranny won a miraculous victory with a score of 3-0 without any bloodshed, Han Wenqing, who represented Tyranny at the press conference, announced this.

Well...it's very Han Wenqing.

Although he did not mention anyone by name, anyone who is not a fool would know who he was talking to.

Now, some fans were furious.

No one would think that this is an exaggeration just because they are a team that has just been promoted from the second-tier league.

They only know one thing:

Next season, there will be another battle between Ye and Han to watch!

This is the oldest repertoire in the e-sports world. Fans watched it from Honor S1 to Honor S7. In S8, it became its swan song due to the rapid decline of Excellent Era and Ye Xiu's departure.

"After a year of waiting, I finally saw my long-awaited Tyranny return to the top league stage!"

"It's bad. Once Tyranny comes, the alliance will instantly change from the three great families to the four emperors. Then won't I, Yi Zhan, be finished?"

"Instead of waiting until next year to compete with Tyranny for a place in the World Championship, why not let Xuanqi go to the World Championship this year! Die! Righteous Slash of the Navy!"

"The mysterious water ghosts are causing trouble. This year I will send you back to fishing!"

"We LGM are invincible!..."

"Bro, you have to get past Happy first..."

……

Fans of the various playoff teams started arguing over who would have the chance to compete for the last spot in the World Championship.

However, no one will doubt the competitiveness of Tyranny next year.

Han Wenqing, the ruthless man who ended the Excellent Era Dynasty and was known as Ye Xiu’s nemesis!

In the eyes of outside fans, this name alone is enough to book at least a playoff spot for Tyranny.

However, compared to the blind trust of outside fans in former Glory legendary players and legendary teams, several teams within the playoff zone are much more rational about this.

"Brother Ye, Tyranny is coming back and has even called out to you. What do you think?"

While checking the news on his phone, Yu Wenbo was cheering on Ye Xiu.

"What else can I do? Just sit and watch!" Ye Xiu didn't even turn his head. "Instead of focusing on this, why not pay attention to how the next playoffs will be played."

"But we are likely to meet them next season, so it's only right that we pay attention to them in advance, right? Isn't Nabatu known as your terminator?" Yu Wenbo asked curiously.

After all, Ye Xiu and Excellent Era had fallen out, and if they still claimed to be Excellent Era's arch-enemy, it would be somewhat degrading for Tyranny.

Therefore, more than a year ago, Tyranny fans quietly changed their title to "Ye Xiu Terminator".

"Brother Ye, aren't you afraid that they will really overthrow us next season?"

Seeing Yu Wenbo asking questions, Ye Xiu didn't get angry. He thought about it, smiled and shook his head: "No hope."

"Why?" Yu Wenbo asked curiously.

"If they keep the current roster next season, no matter how much the outside world hypes them up, they will never be able to become the top team in the league all of a sudden."

Ye Xiu had just finished speaking when Ming Kai, who had just finished a meeting, pushed the door open and walked into the training room and added on behalf of Ye Xiu.

"Some of their mid- and bottom-level Cs can't keep up with the intensity."

For Tyranny, a legendary club that has made great achievements in the field of e-sports,

Except for poor guys like Shenqi who are not qualified to compete with them head-on, most of the LPL teams with a little competitiveness are highly concerned.

As for Happy, the old rival born out of Excellent Era, they had already started paying attention to the direction of Tyranny since the day Zhang Jiale won the championship and Ye Xiu successfully fooled Han Wenqing.

Therefore, apart from Tyranny itself, there are probably not many clubs that understand Tyranny's current situation better than Happy.

"Let me tell you this. If this Tyranny team can maintain the original Glory lineup and fully transform into League of Legends, then they will indeed be a strong rival in the league with the ability to compete for the championship."

"But considering that they have split their forces into two projects... I can only apologize."

The Tyranny team that was crushed by Shenqi was not a regular lineup. Bai Yanfei and other Tyranny players have already registered in the Everlasting League, and the mid laner is likely to be the young player trained by Tyranny themselves.

According to Xingxin's research on it, its strength is still a long way from the LPL average.

In addition, their bottom lane player, Qin Muyun, although basically reached the level of being able to kill indiscriminately in the LSPL, but if he were placed in the LPL, his strength might only be average, or even slightly below.

This is supported by the record of confrontation.

Before Excellent Era left for North America, facing Excellent Era, under the premise of Song Qi's wise protection, Qin Muyun managed to suppress Excellent Era's well-known weak bottom lane group, but failed to break through it.

Not to mention LPL, even in LCS, where Jia Shi is currently located, which is far less powerful than LPL, there are at least four pairs of bottom lane groups that can break through Jia Shi's bottom lane.

Although Qin Muyun’s failure to break through was to a certain extent related to his relatively stable style, based on Xingxin’s current investigation results, his level in the short term is only that of a second-tier AD.

In this case, the strength of Qin Muyun in the bottom lane and Xiao Qingxun in the middle lane, two crucial positions, is not enough to be in the first-tier.

If the goal is just to make the playoffs, then this configuration is completely sufficient. For example, Xuanqi in the spring season made it to the semi-finals despite a sieve in the middle lane.

But in a conversation with an opponent of the level of the Big Three, let alone two, even if there is only one loophole, it will be turned into a breakthrough.

"Can't the Hegemony be strengthened?" Yu Wenbo asked.

"It's not that easy!" Ming Kai shook his head and laughed, "Let alone reinforcements, if they dare to put Qin Muyun on the shelf, countless teams will rush to grab him!"

The player benefits from the Glory era have basically been consumed after being diverted to multiple games and the passage of time.

The players that can be strengthened at present are basically those trained from scratch by LPL.

If a certain YM team can put their players on the shelf, then Tyranny may indeed have abundant reinforcement options.

But even though YM failed this year, the players are still young and are full of confidence and want to fight for another year and play LOL with their brothers.

The youngsters from other teams either already have a main team or have not yet fully grown up.

Even a second- or third-tier player with strong skills will be a huge commodity during the transfer period.

During the transfer period, Team Tyranny is having a headache.

“In my opinion, unless Tyranny can come up with some surprising ideas, next year, I guess Old Han will just be able to organize a grand retirement tour for himself.” Ye Xiu’s tone was a little gloating.

"A strange move? What strange move?" Yu Wenbo asked curiously.

“I already said it was a surprise move. If I could guess it so easily, then how could it be called a surprise move?” Ye Xiu grinned.

"But you, Wenbo, have already said that as long as one of the five members of the team fails, it will become a breakthrough point."

"You're not going to be next, are you?"

Seeing Ye Xiu's malicious eyes, Yu Wenbo shuddered and waved his hands quickly: "I'm practicing very hard, okay!"

As for whether the training is effective or not, that is another matter.

Yu Wenbo’s problem has nothing to do with his basic skills, it’s just due to his style.

Dare to fight, dare to struggle, dare to be C and dare to die. Almost every highlight will be accompanied by a moment to eat.

Since the summer season, when the team had more opportunities to play, there have been countless highlights and countless lows. This has caused many fans of Happy to complain that the games of Happy are unwatchable.

Without some preparation before the game, you'd probably have a heart attack.

Ye Xiu also knew that Yu Wenbo’s problem could not be solved by hard work and practice, so he was just joking with him.

After exchanging a glance with Mingkai, he let Yu Wenbo go train on his own, and they quietly left the training room and knocked on the door of a bedroom.

"Who is it... Boss! Master!" Baozi opened the door, with dark circles and fatigue on his face. He was stunned when he saw that it was Ye Xiu and Ming Kai who came to see him together.

Then, the expression on his face became a little ashamed.

"Let's go in and talk first." Ming Kai didn't give him a chance to speak. He and Ye Xiu walked into the bedroom one after another and closed the door.

"I'm sorry, boss. I've been holding the team back during this period of time." As soon as he sat down, Baozi apologized honestly.

Looking at his slightly haggard face, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

There was obviously something missing from Baozi's face compared to when Ye Xiu first saw him.

That is happiness.

Transformation is always an important decision that carries huge risks and affects one's entire career.

In the case of Honor, where the league collapsed and a large number of players transformed at the same time, the risks were compounded to the point of exploding.

However, the most central position under the spotlight has always been occupied by these top professional players.

He is already gifted, and given the difficulty of Honor, any other e-sports game is much more difficult than it, so the transition has been basically smooth.

But more players are not so lucky.

Baozi is one of them.

Baozi's bottleneck is not that he is not adapted to the game of League of Legends, or the jungle position.

But he is not naturally suited to e-sports.

Baozi was the player with the lowest status among all the players of Xingxin before becoming an e-sports player.

Even the late Su Muqiu made a living by selling plug-ins and playing for others before playing e-sports, which was at least a technical position.

And what about Baozi? He is just there to show off to others.

Such an identity certainly made him an unwelcome little man on the margins of society, but it also enabled him to develop a carefree and unrestrained character.

This is reflected in his imaginative playing style in the game.

What exactly is the unconstrained imagination?
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence:

His thoughts and actions on the field are not all aimed at winning, so opponents who are only interested in winning find it difficult to predict what he will do next.

He doesn't have such a strong competitive gene in his bones.

Such a personality is naturally in conflict with the competitive field of e-sports.

Since there is a conflict, when Baozi starts to conquer the field of e-sports, there will inevitably be an immune rejection reaction.

And this kind of reaction is even more serious in this timeline.

In Glory's Happy, it was a marginal team that was questioned by everyone from the very beginning.

The attention they received was focused on influential figures such as Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Tang Rou, and Fang Rui.

In addition, due to the competition system of Glory, Baozi is not a stable starter for the team. Even if he plays, there are big brothers like Ye Xiu to carry the team.

As for food and attracting firepower, there are also players like An Wenyi who have more obvious flaws to take the blame for him.

Therefore, even if he is a bit nervous, even if he doesn't want to win, even if his performance is very up and down, he will not be criticized too much.

But this life is completely different. Thanks to live streaming, Ye Xiu has become a hundred times more famous than in his previous life, and Baozi's popularity has also increased.

Long before the LPL was even established and the qualifiers had even started, Baozi had already been highly regarded by fans as "Ye Xiu's little brother."

After the establishment of LPL, there was no real rotation in the jungle position, and Baozi firmly became the starting player.

The game mechanism of LOL determines that although he is still not the big brother of the team, the audience can clearly observe his performance at every moment.

Forget about being sick, even if he's in a slightly bad condition, he will be called into a meeting by his fans afterwards.

In addition, compared to Honor of Kings, which has a huge number of influencing factors, the failure of League of Legends can only be blamed on teammates, but Baozi does not have any teammates that he would blame, so he can only bear everything by himself.

He must take responsibility for the pursuit of victory and must strive for victory every moment.

In addition, Mingkai himself is a jungler with a relatively stable style and ideas, so Baozi can only evolve in this direction.

Being forced to become a role that does not fully match his own talents and pursuits has greatly hindered Baozi's growth.

He was able to rely on what Mingkai taught him to stay stable and become a top jungler in the league.

But he lost his spirituality and courage, which immediately became a shortcoming in this version.

In previous games, more than one jungler chose to use Baozi as a breakthrough point.

The result was that Xingxin dropped to third place and was forced to start from the first round of the playoffs.

Baozi is not sick. He is really trying hard to adapt himself to the role of a professional player. It can be said that he has made the greatest sacrifice.

But there is no way, the compatibility is not good, it just is not good.

He caused setbacks to the team many times because he became the breakthrough point, and to a certain extent, even the confidence of a big-hearted player like Baozi was dampened.

This can't go on like this.

To this end, Mingkai and Ye Xiu had already gathered together to discuss how to help Baozi solve this problem.

In the end, they made an extremely bold decision.

"You have practiced the basic skills well during this period. You have basically mastered everything I taught you." Mingkai was the first to praise.

"But basic skills alone are not enough to win the game..." It's hard to imagine that such words would come from the mouth of an optimist like Baozi.

The two looked at each other and knew that there was no way to delay it any longer.

"So, you need to add a little more to your operation." Ye Xiu continued with a smile.

"But... I don't have anything else to add." Baozi was a little confused.

Ye Xiu chuckled and patted his shoulder.

"Why not?"

"Isn't your unique thinking and style the best complement?"

"From now on, you can follow your own ideas in any official competition!"

　updated.

　　Today, I suddenly felt like going to Yuncheng for a trip.

　　Good night everyone
