The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

"None of my players had any flaws. The reason we lost this time was because we were not well prepared. The reason we failed was because we were not as skilled as our opponents."

Wang Jiexi's response to the reporter was powerful and resonant.

After saying this, Wang Jiexi also declined the next reporter's question.

Since it is clear that these reporters have bad intentions and are making malicious speculations about the players of the Vici Gaming Team, there is no need to continue accepting interviews.

"No, Captain Wang, just one more interview and it's over?"

The staff present were also somewhat at a loss.

But Wang Jiexi ignored the staff present and left with the players of the Weicao team.

On the other side, the Thunder team was interviewed.

After just answering a few questions casually, it ended hastily.

"Our players need to rest. All questions will be answered by the results."

Before leaving, Xiao Shiqin also spoke to the reporters in the audience.

……

The first round of the playoffs ended here.

The 30th team was defeated miserably by the Happy Team.

Although the Baihua team put up a fierce resistance, they still lost to the Samsara team by a large margin.

The Weicao team was defeated by the Thunder team.

As for Tyranny and Blue Rain, the two games were tied at 20-20 and an extra game will be played.

The two games between Tyranny and Blue Rain were also extremely tense.

"I can only say that Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale and the others no longer have the same mentality as last year, and their form can no longer be maintained at its peak. Otherwise, Blue Rain would not have been able to beat Team Tyranny this season."

An Ning said.

Although the Blue Rain team has Yu Wenzhou and Zhang Jiale, there is also newcomer Lu Hanwen.

But to put it bluntly, the overall strength of their team has declined.

After all, Yu Feng is missing, and this shortcoming is difficult to make up for.

As for Team Tyranny, although Lin Jingyan has retired, the replacement Shen Xiuwen is actually not that far behind Lin Jingyan.

Lin Jingyan in last season was already in his twilight years. His performance was very strong compared to that of ordinary players, but it was still a little bit worse than that of top players.

Although Shen Xiuwen has not yet reached the top level, he is young and has fast hand speed and reaction.

Moreover, Team Tyranny's responsibilities for Leng Anlei are not that strict, so for now, Shen Xiuwen can fill the gap left by Lin Jingyan.

And on the third day.

The overtime match between Team Blue Rain and Team Tyranny has also begun.

The maps for the arena and team matches of this game will be randomly selected by the official.

Therefore, this is an away game for both teams.

And in today's game.

Both sides just took a brief rest, which also meant that the players on both sides were actually quite tired.

This kind of game is really difficult for the Tyranny team, most of whom are veterans.

But Team Tyranny relied on its own resilience and defeated Team Blue Rain 11-4 in this game.

There is no doubt that this was a complete defeat for Team Blue Rain.

In this regard, Yu Wenzhou's face was full of sadness when he was interviewed after the game.

"We have nothing to say about Team Blue Rain's defeat this time. Blue Rain's summer has to end here."

Yu Wenzhou said this to the reporters in the audience.

Compared to when Vici Gaming lost to Thunder and Blue Rain lost to Tyranny, Blue Rain's fans were not so tolerant.

"Another summer is over. How many summers have ended for Blue Rain? The seventh season was like this, the eighth season was like this, the ninth season was like this, and the tenth season is still like this?"

Many fans of Blue Rain are already quite dissatisfied with this result.

After winning the championship in the sixth season, in all these years, they only got the runner-up once in the eighth season.

It's getting worse every year, and now they're even eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

This is really unacceptable to Blue Rain fans.

"I'm afraid Blue Rain will be in turmoil for a few days."

An Ning, who was sitting in front of the TV, said to the Thunder players around her.

"Yes, Blue Rain's performance in the past few years has indeed been a bit bad."

Chu Yunxiu next to her also spoke up.

At this time, Xiao Shiqin also came back with the video recording of the previous match between the Samsara team and the Baihua team.

"Okay, we don't have time to worry about other teams now, let's study the next opponent first."

Xiao Shiqin said to the people present.

……

And on the fourth morning after the first round of the playoffs ended.

The day before the second round of the playoffs begins.

The Weicao team held a press conference.

During the period, the team captain Wang Jiexi bowed to the loyal fans of Weicao who came for a whole minute.

This is the best response to the poor performance of the Vici Gaming team this season.

The die-hard fans of the Vici Gaming team are not all brainless fans. They also know that the Vici Gaming team is indeed a little weak now.

Moreover, the opponent itself is relatively strong.

Therefore, it also shows that I understand Wang Jiexi.

As for the reporters present, they just wanted topics and attention.

Wang Jiexi has already given it to them.

As the captain of the Weicao team, Wang Jiexi bowed for one minute at the press conference. This news was enough to cause a stir for a while.

Afterwards, Team Blue Rain also held a press conference.

But the result...is obviously not as good as that of the Weicao team.

Some irrational fans of the Blue Rain team also made Blue Rain's captain Yu Wenzhou feel a little embarrassed.

But the Thunder Team no longer had time to care about these things.

After all, the match between Thunder and Blue Rain team is about to begin.

"The Samsara team."

Chu Yunxiu leaned in the Thunder Team's lounge, feeling a little uncomfortable.

With the addition of Sun Xiang this season, the Samsara team's strength on the front battlefield has been greatly enhanced.

This is also a bit difficult for the Thunder team.

After all, on the Samsara team's side, the only one who can be considered in the front row is An Ning.

Although the Thunder team still has Zhang Qi, his current level is really not good enough. In the playoffs, it is really inappropriate to let Zhang Qi, a player who has not yet left the novice stage, play.

"I feel like... I shouldn't have sent Cheng Tai away."

At this time, Dai Yanqi also remembered Cheng Tai, who was traded to the Excellent Era team after the end of the ninth season.

But at this time, Cheng Tai has become one of the core players of the Jia Shi team, and now the Jia Shi team has returned to the league.

There is naturally no possibility of returning to the Thunder at this time.

"Don't think about it. It's not like Team Samsara is unbeatable."

An Ning said.

It’s not like the Thunder haven’t defeated the Samsara team before in the regular season.

Now it’s just another game against the Samsara Team.

……

The second round of the playoffs is also quite different from the first round.

After all, there are only four teams left, and the time for the World Invitational is relatively tight, so the home and away games in the second round will all be held this week.

Unless something unexpected happens in this game, another game will be added three days later.

The semi-final matchups are Xingxin vs. Tyranny, and Thunder vs. Samsara.

The first match to be played was naturally the match between Xingxin and Tyranny.

The first game, between Xingxin and Tyranny, will be held at Xingxin’s home court in H City.

The home court of the Xingxin team is the former home court of the Excellent Era team.

As we all know, in today's league, there is probably no other two teams that have such hatred as Team Tyranny and Team Excellent Era.

Even Team Blue Rain and Team Vici Gaming are child's play compared to Team Excellent Era and Team Tyranny.

But after Team Excellent Era was eliminated in the eighth season, the audience always felt that something was missing.

But in the tenth season, Ye Xiu, the former captain of the Excellent Era team, returned to the Glory Professional League with the Happy team that had fought their way out of the Challenger League.

As a result, the resentment of the Tyranny fans towards the Excellent Era team was transferred to the Happy Team where Ye Xiu was.

But this is only limited to the Tyranny team, and only to Ye Xiu alone.

After all, Xingxin is Xingxin and Jia Shi is Jia Shi. It is not fair to transfer the hatred of Jia Shi team to Xingxin.

Moreover, the old Jia Shi was disbanded because it was defeated by Xingxin in the challenge tournament.

For Tyranny... their long-time enemy was eliminated, and they should probably thank Team Happy.

But there are still many people who think that Xingxin is the continuation of the Excellent Era team. After all, Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng are still in Xingxin. Therefore, even if the Happy Era team is the team that defeated Excellent Era and caused it to fall apart, they still hate Happy.

Even though the current Jia Shi team has completed its reorganization and will return to the league next season.

As for Xingxin.

In addition to most of Xingxin's fans and passers-by, there were still quite a few fans of the Excellent Era team who came to the stadium to watch the game.

Although the Xingxin team was the culprit for defeating the Jia Shi team.

But the problem is that this game is held in H City, and it is impossible for the Glory fans in H City to give up their own city’s home games and run to other cities every week to watch the games.

In addition, after such a long time, many fans of the Excellent Era team no longer hate the Happy team as much.

Therefore, many fans of Team Jia Shi also came to this playoff game.

Although now Xingxin and Jia Shi are about to become mortal enemies.

But compared to Happy, they still hope to see Team Tyranny be eliminated first.

Thus, the game began under such a distorted situation.

"Welcome to watch the second round of the Glory Pro League playoffs, the first game between Happy and Tyranny. I am the commentator for this game, Lin Jingyan."

In fact, normally speaking, such a top-level match should be commented on by Pan Lin and Li Yibo.

But due to Lin Jingyan's own special characteristics, it was Lin Jingyan and Yu Yang's turn to commentate on this match.

As for the guest commentator, it was Yu Wenzhou, the captain of the Blue Rain team that had just been defeated by the Tyranny team.

For the first competition, Team Xingxin sent out their captain Ye Xiu.

"I didn't expect that, even in the playoffs, they would be the first to send Ye Xiu."

At this time, the players of Thunder Team were also watching the game on time.

Although the Thunder will face a tough opponent in the next game, the Samsara team, they are now on the verge of the playoffs.

Watching two games will not affect the preparation for the game.

Just take it as a rest.

"This is a bit too much pressure on Team Tyranny."

Chu Yunxiu said next to him.

"However, Happy is really brave to let Ye Xiu go on the field first."

Fang Xuecai was also amazed.

"This group of spectators really just want to watch the fun and make trouble."

Xiao Shiqin also adjusted his glasses.

Because in the TV broadcast, you could even clearly hear the audience below the stage calling out Han Wenqing.

"It would be really interesting if Han Wenqing was the first to go on stage."

An Ning said.

After all, the rivals have been fighting for a decade.

Although Ye Xiu had been absent for two years, it did not stop the audience from wanting to see this battle of the century.

"But Han Wenqing's current condition shouldn't be comparable to Ye Xiu's, right?"

Chu Yunxiu said.

This was not wrong. After all, Han Wenqing was older than Ye Xiu. Moreover, compared to Ye Xiu's two years of absence, Han Wenqing had actually played for ten years. Years of high-intensity competitions would only put a greater strain on his condition.

Therefore, if Han Wenqing really played in the first game, he would probably be stepped on by Ye Xiu.

"The first player to appear in the Tyranny match is Qin Muyun's Minus Nine Degrees."

But the candidates announced by Lin Jingyan afterwards also disappointed Lei Ting and the audience who were watching the fun.

In their opinion, Han Wenqing was undoubtedly backing down. Knowing that Team Xingxin would most likely put Ye Xiu in the first place, Han Wenqing did not stand up to fight Ye Xiu to the death. Instead, he gave the opportunity to Qin Muyun, a new player who had just debuted last season.

Although Qin Muyun's performance this season is indeed good, in the eyes of the audience, Qin Muyun is the most transparent player of the Tyranny team.

Not to mention veteran players like Han Wenqing and Zhang Jiale, even the newcomer Shen Xiuwen, who joined the Tyranny team this season and replaced Lin Jingyan, has much better performances than Qin Muyun.

For the audience, even if Han Wenqing is not allowed to play, even if Han Wenqing's condition may not be very good, can't Zhang Jiale play?

Letting Qin Muyun play now, isn’t it just to send him off?
"It seems that the captain of Team Tyranny is much more rational than their fans."

An Ning also said.

"Yes."

Xiao Shiqin also nodded.

Sometimes, it is wise to give in. (End of this chapter)
