Full-time master: following you everywhere.

"Isn't the list for the World Invitational decided by vote?"

Li Xuan took the water handed to him by Luo Yang and spoke.

"how could it be possible?"

Su Mucheng shook her head with amusement.

How could the World Invitational be based on audience voting like the All-Stars?

"Yeah, how is that possible?"

Zhang Jiale also shook his head.

"The opponents are very strong. If we rely solely on popularity like the All-Stars, it would be really difficult if some weaker players sneak in."

Ye Xiu said.

Previously, the Russian League where Luo Yang was located, a division with average strength, had several quasi-first-class players. So the stronger Korean, British and American divisions should naturally not be underestimated.

To put it bluntly, as long as it is a vote, there is room for manipulation.

What if someone really deliberately uses some tricks to get himself involved, then it would be troublesome.

"So, that's why we ask you to take the test after every game."

A person walked out from behind Ye Xiu. He was a member of the professional team that the alliance had specially formed for the future World Invitational.

"Hello, my name is Li Xiang. I am a staff member of the World Invitational Tournament selection team. I am mainly responsible for collecting your data. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

The man shook hands with Li Xuan and Wu Yuce and said.

"Hello."

Li Xuan also said hurriedly.

As for introducing myself, there is definitely no need for that.

After all, the other party is an official of the Honor event and must know professional players like us.

"So...how do we test it?"

At this point, Li Xuan was actually a little nervous.

"Of course I let him come."

Li Xiang pointed at Ye Xiu who was standing beside him and said.

"First test individual strength, then teamwork, and then..."

Li Xiang was holding a piece of paper with a list of each test step on it.

"It's really you."

Li Xuan looked at Ye Xiu helplessly.

When he came, Li Xuan guessed that Ye Xiu might be responsible for these.

After all, Ye Xiu is recognized as the "tactical master" and "Glory textbook" in the Glory League circle, so letting Ye Xiu come is probably the best choice.

"Let's stop talking and get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can get to the airport."

Ye Xiu said to Li Xuan while holding the account card.

"it is good."

Li Xuan nodded.

……

After the two left, the Xingxin team's lounge was plunged into an awkward atmosphere.

The main reason was that Luo Yang was not familiar with the other party, and although Zhang Jiale and Su Mucheng knew Wu Yuce, they had never communicated much in private, so they couldn't find any suitable topics to start.

"This season's Void Team... is it okay?"

Zhang Jiale scratched his head and took the initiative to find a topic.

"Ah... not bad."

Wu Yuce nodded as he spoke.

Although Wu Yuce knows that Void wants to win the championship this season, it is currently playing in a mess.

But these words naturally couldn't be said in front of the Xingxin team, so Wu Yuce could only evade them.

"Team Happy... this season is pretty good."

Wu Yuce was just making small talk.

But I regretted it the moment I said it.

The Xingxin team is more than just good, they are definitely aiming for the championship.

Isn't it redundant to say this myself?

"Hahaha, yeah yeah."

Zhang Jiale also replied awkwardly.

"I say to you two, if you have nothing to talk about... just stop talking, okay? If you really don't know what to do, just play a couple of dungeons in the game."

Su Mucheng said speechlessly.

What are these two people talking about? It's so confusing.

Luo Yang nodded in agreement.

"Oh, yes, yes, I haven't finished my daily activities for today yet."

Zhang Jiale spoke first.

"same."

Wu Yuce echoed.

Then the two of them really found two computers, turned them on and started playing games.

As a professional player, the rewards from daily tasks...are no longer considered anything.

Normally, the players of the Xingxin team don’t do this very often, at most they complete it when there are activities.

But now... it's really embarrassing to just sit there and do nothing.

"Ugh."

Su Mucheng looked at the two of them helplessly, then spread her hands to Luo Yang beside her.

"I went to find Brother Su and Luo Ji to research the silver weapon."

Luo Yang said to Su Mucheng.

"No, Xiao Luo, you have to run too!"

Su Mucheng glanced at Luo Yang with some dissatisfaction.

"Otherwise there's nothing I can do..."

Luoyang said.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Su Mucheng waved her hands helplessly.

……

After Li Xuan and Wu Yuce left.

Li Xiang looked at Ye Xiu with a serious expression.

"You didn't perform very well..."

Li Xiang said helplessly.

"I guess it's because the recent state of the Void Team has affected him, but Zhen Gui is one of the candidates we need, and there is no better candidate."

Ye Xiu said.

Although Qiao Yifan is good, he is still young after all, and his talent has not yet been demonstrated.

Although the selection of players for the World Invitational has nothing to do with the popularity of the players, the issue of winning over the public must always be considered.

Ye Xiu is already the person in charge of the World Invitational. It would be better if Qiao Yifan was still a player of Vici Gaming.

But Qiao Yifan is now a member of Happy, and he is not as aggressive as Luo Yang. If he chooses Qiao Yifan instead of Li Xuan...

There is no need for opponents to attack, the CN national team will fall out among themselves.

"You have the final say. After all, we are only responsible for the data."

Li Xiang is very easy to talk to.

He is not the kind of official that Luo Yang prejudiced against.

"You're quite easy to talk to."

Su Mucheng said.

"What? Do I have to say that I believe in the data?"

Li Xiang laughed out loud because of Su Mucheng's words.

"You are professionals. I am just following orders from above. It is you who are playing the game, not me and my leader."

Li Xiang said.

"It's getting late, and I should leave. I may need your help later." Li Xiang put away the notebook and said to them.

"Walk slowly."

Ye Xiu took the initiative to send Li Xiang off.

……

After defeating the Void Team, the Xingxin Team's current points are firmly in first place.

But the current score is not very safe, and there is only a two-point gap between them and the Samsara team behind them.

It can be said that as long as the Samsara team completes a few games with a score of 10 to 0 and the Happy team does not shut out the opponent, the first place will be handed over.

"The Samsara team is quite strong. It seems that they only lost to us. They basically won the other games by 10 to 0."

Wei Chen said, looking at the tablet in his hand.

"With Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang, as well as Jiang Botao as a reliable 'support' and that guy called Lu Lin, it would be strange if we don't win with high scores all the way."

Zhang Jiale spoke vaguely, holding a bun in his mouth.

"We are only two points higher than them, don't you feel nervous at all?"

Chen Guo said to several people while distributing breakfast to the Happy players.

"It's just the regular season. First and second place are the same. If they really have the ability, let them take it. We still need to train the new players. Otherwise, when Old Ye and Old Wei retire, there will be no fun."

Zhang Jiale swallowed the bun in his mouth and said.

"These buns are good. Baozi, you should have two too."

As he spoke, Zhang Jiale handed the bun on his plate to Baozi.

"Okay, Boss Zhang!"

As he spoke, Baozi took a bun from the plate that Zhang Jiale handed over.

"You guys..."

Chen Guo was a little helpless.

The Glory League has now been played for fourteen rounds, and as the boss, Chen Guo has also accompanied the Xingxin players to visit many team bases.

But the atmosphere of these teams is generally the same as that of professional teams.

Only Xingxin... is like a den of thieves, full of scoundrels.

"Don't worry, boss. We will definitely win a championship for you and Lao Zhang this season."

Wei Chen patted his chest and said confidently.

"You're teasing Zhang Jiale again."

Chen Guo looked at Wei Chen speechlessly.

But Zhang Jiale himself had long been immune to it. Now that Wei Chen mentioned these things, Zhang Jiale was even too lazy to argue with him.

"What's the current situation of our second team?"

Chen Guo also thought of this and began to ask Luo Yang and Su Muqiu who were in charge of this aspect.

Although the Glory League has planned to hold training matches exclusively for the second team, this will have to wait until next season to be truly implemented.

Therefore, several teams are now conducting training matches privately.

The current second team of the Happy Team consists of Mo Fan, Tang Rou, Baozi Yifan, Luo Ji and An Wenyi.

But after An Wenyi and Sun Yunzhen officially took over, Sun Yunzhen now also went to the second team to play in the game.

"It's not a good situation."

Luo Yang glanced at Su Muqiu and sighed.

"Yes."

Su Muqiu also sighed.

"But losing is also a good thing, and everyone has made considerable progress."

Luoyang added another sentence.

After all, Mo Fan and the others were also having breakfast.

To be honest, Xingxin's biggest problem right now comes from Mo Fan and Luo Ji. The former has difficulty adapting to tactics and often acts alone subconsciously, while the latter... simply lacks strength.

On the contrary, Qiao Yifan and Tang Rou performed quite well, especially Qiao Yifan. Many teams even contacted Qiao Yifan secretly, but he was unwilling to transfer.

This made Qiao Yifan a little flattered.

But in the end, Qiao Yifan rejected all these people.

This also makes those teams that are even willing to give up their core positions sigh with regret.

I wonder what kind of magic Ye Xiu has that can make Qiao Yifan choose to sit on the bench and stay in the Happy Team.

"Mu Qiu, you and Xiao Ting should be able to try out in the game in a while, right? How about trying out in this training match later?"

Chen Guo looked at Su Muqiu.

"I'll... think about it."

Originally, Su Muqiu was thinking of refusing subconsciously, but when he saw the expectant looks from Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu, he finally nodded.

"The Linhai team will probably be relegated this season."

Suddenly, Wei Chen spoke.

"Oh, yes."

Ye Xiu nodded.

"I originally thought Zhao Yang would retire in Linhai, but he was persuaded by Han Wenqing and even won the championship before retiring. The Linhai team was at the center of public attention for a while."

Wei Chen was amazed.

The reason why Zhao Yang won the championship in Team Tyranny was largely because of the strong strength of the players in Team Tyranny.

But the audience doesn't care.

What the audience saw was that Zhao Yang won the championship as soon as he left Tyranny, but your Linhai team failed to make the playoffs every year.

Therefore, under the double blow of public opinion and performance, the performance of the Linhai team became worse and worse.

In the end, the Linhai team, which had just resolved its debt crisis and was originally preparing to make drastic changes in the development of young players, dived directly into the relegation zone this season and was "far ahead" with a hopeless "advantage".

"So, why don't we go and dig some people?"

Next to him, Zhang Jiale said.

"Old Zhang, you..."

Wei Chen said with his head down.

"You finally got it!"

Then Wei Chen patted Zhang Jiale's shoulder in admiration.

"But there's no need to poach those players from the Linhai team."

Sun Zheping also said this.

"What players are you looking for? Look for people from their guild or their technical department!"

Wei Chen said.

Right now, the technical department and guild of Team Xingxin are still very short of manpower. Relegated teams like Team Linhai are the most suitable teams to target.

Don't talk about being honest or not.

Who demoted you?

……

In the fifteenth round of the Glory Professional League, Xingxin played against the Qingcai team away.

In this match, Team Xingxin defeated Team Qingcai 9-1. The only match they lost was in the individual competition when Tang Rou played and encountered the opponent's long-range player. They lost the match by a narrow margin due to the difference in firepower.

Next door, the Samsara team only won nine to one against the 301 degrees team.

Although Lu Lin was not originally planning to play this season, he still made his debut for the Samsara Team in this game. However, he was defeated by the captain of the 301st Team, Yang Cong.

After losing to the Royal Wind Team 3-7, the Howling Team has suffered three consecutive losses. As a result, the Howling Team has dropped to seventh place and is about to fall out of the playoff range.

After the failure of the last game, Tang Hao was asked to appear for an interview, but the result... is hard to describe.

In this session, Liu Hao took the initiative to take over the responsibility of speaking.

"The captain wants to win more than anyone else, so he is more ashamed of failure than anyone else. As long as it is time to play, he will still be the one who pursues victory regardless of everything. I firmly believe in this."

What Liu Hao said was indeed very insightful.

"This Liu Hao is quite good at talking. His little words are so cool."

Sun Zheping looked at Liu Hao on TV, and his tone was not very friendly.

"If this guy had used his intrigue skills in competition, he would have been the top magic swordsman in the league long ago."

Zhang Jiale also said with some disdain.

Even if they hadn't learned some of Excellent Era's inside information from Ye Xiu and the others, Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping didn't have a very good impression of Liu Hao. (End of this chapter)
