Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 920 Mysterious

"I never imagined that our team, which started in an internet cafe, would become more and more like a professional team." Wei Chen said with some emotion. For a moment, he even felt like he was in a different world. He recalled when he first came to Happy. Back then, apart from Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu, who were both freaks, everyone else was a newbie. Even the owner was just the owner of an internet cafe.

He joined the team with the mindset of "it's fun and I'll make money" at the time. After all, for someone as knowledgeable about the professional scene as him, a team needs players, staff from various departments, capital, and so on. At that time, Happy really had nothing except for abundant materials.

But in less than a year, Happy has already reached this point.

Players, equipment, funds, materials, guild – from nothing to something, Happy now possesses all the basic reserves of a team. If their opponents still regard Happy as a grassroots team, they will definitely pay a huge price!

"Organize the materials!" Wei Chen suddenly shouted, startling everyone present. When everyone looked over, Wei Chen had already begun to organize various materials and documents.

"Organize the materials!" Before anyone could react, Zhang Jiale shouted, then went straight to Wei Chen's side and started working with him without offering any explanation, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

"Organize the materials!" This time it was Ye Xiu who roared. The bizarre scene of the three of them frightened the members of Happy, and they all turned their gazes to Xiao Nai. After all, with the team's top player and senior suddenly going crazy, Xiao Nai was the only one they could rely on and who could provide answers.

"Ignore it, it's just an old guy's outburst. Keep training," Xiao Nai said, admitting he'd been startled too. However, he could understand the three's feelings. After all, when they joined Happy, it was absolutely impossible for them to be confident of returning to the professional league and winning the championship. As those who knew the professional league best, they understood just how unlikely it was for Happy to enter the league and even contend for the championship back then.

But they did it anyway, enduring this almost impossible pressure until now. And now, Happy finally has the foundation to turn their expectations into reality, even if it's just a foundation, it's the best comfort for them, and that last sentence was their release of the pressure they've been under during this period.

The crowd saw the three men's focused expressions and knew they weren't crazy; in fact, they were more clear-headed than ever before. They didn't say anything more and began their pre-match training.

Time flies, and this Friday, the final match of the online competition officially begins.

Meanwhile, Happy completed the final update of their team roster before the start of the match, with Berserker Shui Yixia appearing on the team list. This change was immediately noticed by Happy's fans, but it didn't attract much attention.

The final online match of the challenge was also a foregone conclusion, since the opponent had already played one match before and was just an ordinary player. This is why Xiao Nai and others were able to leisurely go to Tiny Herb as practice partners.

With the conclusion of this match, the twenty teams selected for the offline competition have been finalized. Even teams comprised of ordinary players have demonstrated considerable skill to reach this point, and one such team is made up of a group of skilled streamers. This series of matches has significantly boosted their popularity.

When Xiao Nai first learned about this team, he watched some of their matches. Since these players dared to stream under the name of "skilled streamers," their skill was undeniable. They were all top-tier players capable of securing a place in the elite jungle boss raiding teams of various professional guilds. They were among the very best in the ordinary Glory player community. However, that was about it; their skill had reached its limit, and they were past their prime, so Xiao Nai stopped following them.

However, he did contact President Liu. After all, Honor's popularity is undeniable, and their live streaming platform could organize a competition between streamers. They could even host international tournaments; he remembered seeing international streamers competing in PUBG in his previous life.

He happened to remember that there would be a professional international league for Glory in the future, so this was a way for him to confirm the competition rules in advance. After contacting President Liu, Xiao Nai stopped paying attention to this matter. After all, he remembered that in the original work, besides Excellent Era, there was another team, Xuanqi, which was relegated in the same period as Excellent Era.

This is precisely where Xiao Nai plans to bring out the "Blossoming Bloodscape" combination. The goal is to let the Excellent Era team know they have this combination, and that it possesses formidable strength. With Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping, plus himself and Ye Xiu, their combined number of professional-level players surpasses that of Excellent Era. Faced with such pressure, the ever-cautious Xiao Shiqin will undoubtedly dedicate himself to researching and developing strategies against this lineup, and that is precisely Xiao Nai's objective.

Sun Zheping was injured after all. He could only play against teams like Xuanqi, but he would struggle against Excellent Era, which had Sun Xiang, Xiao Shiqin, and Su Mucheng.

Therefore, Xiao Nai never intended for him to play in the match against Excellent Era.

Unlike Team Excellent Era, whose elimination was seen as a miracle, Team Xuanqi's elimination came as no surprise to anyone. This was because the team spent 90% of the time last season in last place, making them arguably the weakest team of the season.

Of course, this weakness is relative.

Among ordinary players, their strength is still quite formidable. However, in the professional scene, their overall strength is even slightly inferior to Wuji's. After all, Wuji had actually fought in the professional league for three years, while Xuanqi retired in the second year.

In the first year, they were able to retain their spot because they hired former professional player Zhang Yiwei as their coach. With the guidance of this experienced player, the newcomers of Xuanqi adapted quite well that year. Unfortunately, they were thoroughly figured out in the second year, and even Zhang Yiwei could not turn the tide.

With the mysterious relegation, the significance of a coach to a team has once again become a hot topic.

For teams that have been eliminated, retaining their players is extremely difficult, but Xuanqi has been very successful in this regard, managing to keep almost all of its key players. Of course, the main reason for this is that no other team wanted Xuanqi's players; they had nowhere else to go. Apart from those who chose to leave the professional scene altogether, the rest stayed with the team.

With such strength, Xuanqi poses no threat to Excellent Era. In contrast, everyone is more curious about what the outcome would be if Xuanqi faced Happy.

Players who are particularly interested in Qiao Jingjing, this crossover player who is about to encounter her second professional team, are wondering if she can continue to fight her way out.

It's no wonder players' attention is focused on Qiao Jingjing; her popularity is simply too immense. Even Zhang Jiale, who appeared earlier, became secondary. As for Ye Xiu, since it's still uncertain whether Lord Grim is actually Ye Xiu, naturally, people aren't as interested in him as they are in Qiao Jingjing. (End of Chapter)
