Although Baihua has fallen to 18th place, not many people think that it will eventually be demoted.
On the one hand, after all, Baihua's strength is still there. As long as he adjusts his condition in the remaining six rounds, scoring two or thirty points will definitely not be a problem.
On the other hand, Mingqing and Xuanqi, who are currently in the relegation zone, are really bad. The two teams are still 16 and 22 points behind Baihua respectively. With their scoring efficiency, they may not be able to get it before the end of the season.
Baihua's current score.
With these two favorites to be relegated, Baihua's current decline is more likely to be ridiculed by fans of the teams they defeated in the past. No one really thinks they will sink this season.
Regarding Baihua's situation, Wuxiao only paid a little attention to it, and then focused on preparing for the next game. In the next round, Wuxiao will face Linhai at home, a team from the north.
Speaking of team history, Linhai is not inferior to any team. The Glory League has been in existence since its establishment. However, this team has always been transparent. It has never entered the playoffs in eight years and has always been neither good nor bad.
Affected by the decline of the Northern Heavy Industrial Zone, although Linhai has a broad mass base, it has never been able to develop business and has always had the problem of insufficient funds.
Without funds, it is impossible to retain outstanding players. As long as a player performs well, in less than half a season, teams from wealthy areas will come to poach them, which makes life in Linhai increasingly difficult.
In the most recent All-Stars, there were four teams with only one All-Star player, namely Thunder's Xiao Shiqin, Royal Style's Tian Sen, 301's Yang Cong and Linhai's Zhao Yang.
Among these four teams, Thunder, Royal Wind and 301 are now the main players competing for the last ticket to the playoffs. Only Linhai seems to be hanging far behind without having anything to do with it. And this team is not
This is the case only this year, and it is like this almost every year. There are only two seasons where we have reached the top half of the standings, which gives people a feeling of being half-dead.
In terms of personal strength alone, Zhao Yang is not inferior to anyone such as Xiao Shiqin, Tian Sen, or Yang Cong. And the team's performance is so sluggish that it is really because there are too many problems in Linhai's management and the loss of players is too serious. Zhao Yang alone can't do it.
It's really hard to bring up all-stars.
In fact, as the team's top player, Zhao Yang has not been poached by other teams. In almost every transfer window, there are several rumors about him, and Linhai is not very willing to keep him. But in the past few years,
, Zhao Yang always stayed in Linhai.
When staying behind has become a habit, letting go is not only difficult, but also painful.
However, it is also painful to stay with a weak team. When encountering a team at the top of the standings, getting a point is even a luxury.
Although in the past three rounds, Wuxiao had one win and two losses, with a poor record. However, if you study the video, you can know that Wuxiao's defeat was not because they did not perform well, but because their opponent performed better.
Especially after watching Qiu Fei's recent games, Zhao Yang understood that there was no hope for this round of the arena. So he challenged himself and two other players in the team who were barely capable, the battle mage Yan Weiping and the swordsman.
Wang Haoliang, put it in the individual competition to grab points.
The tragedy of weak teams is that they usually don't expect to win the game, but only hope to score small points.
However, on the weekend, Linhai was unable to fulfill even this small wish at the home ground of Wuxiao.
Zhao Yang painstakingly arranged the order of appearance. He successfully avoided Fang Rui and Qiu Fei, the strongest players in the Wind Howl team, and faced Lin Jingyan, whose strength had declined.
However, on an unfamiliar map, Boundless Sea still lost to Tang San with a slight disadvantage.
Lin Jingyan took a break this round of the team competition, and Zhao Yang had already given up on winning the team competition. Both of them had no scruples and performed to their highest level together.
Although Lin Jingyan only entered the league one year earlier than Zhao Yang, he is three years older than Zhao Yang. In high-level competitions, the decline in his physical strength and endurance is very obvious.
At the beginning, with the advantage of the self-selected map, Tang San took the lead, and his health lead reached 23%.
But when the game entered the middle and later stages, Tang San's advantage gradually shrank, until the difference was about 5%, and then it stabilized.
After all, Zhao Yang is no longer young. He also has Lin Jingyan's problems, but it's not so obvious.
When Boundless Sea finally fell, Zhao Yang felt a little regretful. His Spiral Mind Qi Kill had already cooled down. As long as he was given one second to use this skill, Tang San would be the one who fell.
After the individual match, the two captains slumped in their chairs from exhaustion. It was not until the contestants from behind came up that they opened the door and came out.
Zhao Yang forced out a smile and said to Lin Jingyan: "Old Lin, good fight."
Lin Jingyan sighed: "I'm missing one game now. If I don't play well, I'm sorry for myself first. But Xiao Zhao, why are you still working so hard? Isn't there no problem in Linhai's relegation?"
Zhao Yang shook his head and said: "If we can get one more point this time, maybe we will be ranked one higher by the end of the season and the team will get an additional 1 million bonus share."
Lin Jingyan frowned and said, "Is the management of your team so embarrassing?"
Zhao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "You may still not believe it. So far this year, the team's salary has not been paid! The money paid at the end of last year was obtained by dismantling a huge amount of equipment during the winter!"
"What!" Lin Jingyan's body trembled slightly, she stopped and said in surprise: "That's your master's account!"
Demon Swordsman Lang Taotian is Linhai's first captain Bai Fanglu. He brought his account into the league from an online game. He was selected for the first two All-Stars.
When the league was first formed, the age restrictions were relatively wide. Among the players were minors like Ye Qiu who were not yet eighteen years old, and others like Lu Liang who were already in their twenties and had become famous in other e-sports events.
.
Because it was a newly established e-sports project, the management and training at that time were not very scientific and standardized, and for promotion, there were more competitions. Therefore, most of the career lifespan of the pioneer generation was not long, and many people played one or two games.
Retire after the season.
Like Han Wenqing, those who have stayed on the front line from beginning to end are not only young, but also talented in gaming, and they are definitely gifted in terms of physical condition.
Bai Fanglu played for a relatively long time in the pioneering generation and did not retire until the fifth season. Even though in the later stages, his level had seriously declined and he could not even enter the All-Stars, he still tried his best to compete with Zhao
Together with Yang, they fought for Linhai for the last two years.
It is a pity that due to poor management, Linhai's character strength failed to keep up with the opening of the level cap, and its competitiveness has declined. Bai Fanglu's last ditch effort resulted in the best record in Linhai's history, ranking 9th in the standings.
It's still just a sliver away, failing to cross the threshold of the playoffs.
When Bai Fanglu retired, Zhao Yang cried miserably. Bai Fanglu stroked the top of his head and comforted him: "Xiao Zhao, your talent is no worse than Wang Jiexi. Until now, you haven't even played in the playoffs. I'm sorry for you, yes.
Linhai, I'm sorry for you! If one day, someone makes an offer, just leave! At least, see a different scenery once!"
Linhai has sold many players, and these words have spread to everyone in the professional circle. But amidst the ups and downs, Zhao Yang has always stayed in Linhai, and together they have experienced ups and downs in the second half of the standings and the All-Star list.
volt.
After Bai Fanglu, there was no outstanding Magic Swordsman player in Linhai. The All-Star account once had a huge amount of revenue, so it was idle, waiting for the next owner.
Lang Taotian's character strength cannot keep up with the progress of level up, and is based on the level of an all-star character. Compared with ordinary professional accounts, he is not weak.
He Wu once asked to buy Langtao Tian for Jiang Botao, but was rejected. By the time Wuji Downgraded and they bought Sedinkun, Jiang Botao had been bought by Samsara, and the Sedinkun operator eventually became Xu Zijian.
Samsara was very wealthy. After buying Jiang Botao, he quoted a wealthy purchase price of 3 million to Langtao Tian. This price immediately impressed Linhai's manager. However, when news of the character transfer spread, it aroused opposition from fans.
, the matter was delayed. In addition, someone from the senior management of the Linhai Team ordered to raise the price. This greedy attitude annoyed the Samsara party, and the transaction was terminated. The Samsara manager also specially found a magic sword named Wu Lang.
The official account was armed and given to Jiang Botao for use. It can be seen that the negotiation that year deeply stimulated him.
A character who couldn't be bought with a huge sum of three million two years ago is now being broken up and secretly sold at a low price. How could Lin Jingyan not be surprised when he heard this news?
Zhao Yang said expressionlessly: "So what? If the team can't persist, it will be sold sooner or later! I really envy your home court! So many fans come to support. Most of the young people in our place have gone out to work. One day
After playing every home game, the combined income from tickets and peripherals is barely enough for daily operations. Our manager really wishes he could play at home against a wealthy club like Blue Rain and Tiny Herb in every round. But if that were the case, he wouldn’t have to pay 100 per round.
:9,0:10, they were demoted and disbanded early. Ha!”
Lin Jingyan was speechless. No matter how poor Wuxiao was, he was not as miserable as Linhai.
With a sneer, Zhao Yang lowered his voice and said in a voice just within earshot of Lin Jingyan: "Did you know? They are already arranging my Boundless Sea. As soon as I retire, they will sell Boundless Sea. I just
Can we hope that the account will not be torn down like Lang Taotian... right?"
The two of them walked to the entrance of the passage. Zhao Yang became more excited and said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. Please don't be merciful because of my words in the team competition later. No matter how difficult it is, I hope that the victory can be won by myself."
of!"
Lin Jingyan smiled slightly and said, "I can't compete in the team competition."
Zhao Yang suddenly said: "Yes, that Qiu Fei is a good prospect, you have found a treasure. Congratulations first, you have made it to the playoffs this year."
Lin Jingyan nodded and said, "Yeah, you're lucky. Thank you Excellent Era. Otherwise, with this year's situation, Fang Rui alone would be a bit insecure."
The two veterans bid farewell to each other. The match between them was the third individual match. Linhai did not score points in the previous two games.
Yan Weiping met Fang Rui, and Wang Haoliang met Zhao Yuzhe. The difference in strength was too big, and in an away game, both of them were easily defeated.
In the individual competition, Zhao Yang persisted for a while and did not let all three of them lose too ugly. But in the group competition, Linhai was defeated like a mountain and had no power to resist. Two assassins and an elemental mage,
Without even seeing General Qiu Fei who was guarding the gate, Guo Haoran and Zheng Yong, who were in good condition, teamed up to deal with it.
In the first half, Howl achieved a complete victory.
Linhai is a weak team at the bottom of the standings. The players have become accustomed to big losses, so their morale is somewhat low and they continue to play team competitions.
The Thunder is probably the only team in the league that can still be confident and unswervingly strive for victory in the team competition despite losing all the individual competitions and group competitions!
Originally, with Zhao Yang here, Linhai still had some fighting capacity in the team competition. However, because Zhao Yang had a fierce battle with Lin Jingyan first, his strength was slightly damaged, so the team moved forward as a team.
The roaring leader on the opposite side, Qiu Fei, had been holding back for the whole arena match, and burst out from the start, controlling the battle mage to take the lead.
Luohua Fengyu rushed into the Linhai Brigade, as recklessly as a trap.
When everyone in Linhai realized that Qiu Fei's battle mage was really intrusive and out of touch, the light from the Bailong Meteor had already covered the entire team in Linhai!
Cheng Yijiu, the operator of the Assassin Yuchang Leng, first failed to keep up with Qiu Fei's rhythm and was unable to block the thrust of the dragon stick, and was sent flying.
Wang Haoliang used his sword to cut and stab, and after receiving a few blows, he felt that he couldn't resist, so he cut in three stages.
With two melee guards suddenly missing, the pressure on Hui Taiheng and Huang Kefeng in the back row suddenly increased.
Elemental mage Feng Leng Wujiang had struggled a bit before, but this time he was even more clumsy. He only persisted for one second longer and followed in the footsteps of Cheng Yijiu.
Priest Bu Tian was positioned at the very back. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer teammates around him, he simply charged forward and followed Wang Haoliang as he ran across thousands of mountains.
Yan Weiping's Lu Fengxian misjudged the power of Haolong Pojun when Luohua Fengyu just rushed in, and was the first to be pushed away.
Among the five main players of the Linhai team, only the captain Zhao Yang was defeated by Qiu Fei's Bailong Meteor and used the air wave shield to hold on.
However, his teammates retreated either actively or passively, making Zhao Yang's persistence useless.
In just one face-to-face meeting, Qiu Fei broke up the Linhai brigade that was huddled together and isolated Boundless Hai.
Zhao Yang was strong-willed. Even if he was the only one left, he launched a counterattack towards Qiu Fei. He received the sky-blasting cannon with his air-splitting palm, followed by an air blade, and the counterattack came fiercely and quickly.
However, when Qiu Feizi was in full swing, Phantom Dragon Fang even broke the tyrant, and faced Zhao Yang tit for tat, without giving in.
Wang Haoliang's swordsman was the closest, and when he saw this, he wanted to attack him from a flank, but Zhao Yuzhe's time failed Feng Leng Wu Jiang's restraint, and a series of ice picks stabbed him accurately, making it difficult for him to move.
On both wings, Fang Rui's Gui Mi Shen Sui and Lu Yiming's sharpshooter Bian Jingren found Hui Taiheng and Cheng Yijiu respectively, and started to capture and kill each other.
In the blink of an eye, what was a good team fight was broken up by Qiu Fei into one-on-one duels, and the situation tilted towards Wu Xiao, who was stronger individually.
At this time, it should have been Zhao Yang's responsibility to reconnect his teammates. However, with Qiu Fei's pressing pressure, Boundless Sea couldn't protect himself, let alone carry out tactical command.
At 10:0, Wuxiao slaughtered Linhai at home. It washed away the depression of the Jiangnan Derby defeat.
