Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Where are Yi Xiao Nai He? Where is Jun Mo Xiao? Where is Happy Guild? Why aren't any of them on the list?
The guilds stayed up from midnight until dawn, but there wasn't a single member from Happy Guild on the leaderboard. Of course, although the major guilds hadn't yet sent out their elite teams, their sheer number of players was enough. The results of players simply playing the game on their own were already enough to put their guilds in the top ten.

Most of the people here are technical streamers. After all, this is a period of rapid growth for the industry right now. With the popularity of Honor of Kings, many technical streamers are streaming Honor of Kings' new events overnight, which is also a way for them to boost their popularity. And those who can become technical streamers are naturally players under the name of various guilds, since only the guild warehouses of various guilds have enough good equipment and resources.

It can be said that before the emergence of elite teams from major guilds, the top-ranked streamers were all skilled technical streamers with considerable abilities.

The top 20 teams on the list are all professional clubs. Since there are rankings, some players will naturally compare them with the rankings of the teams in the professional league.

There are indeed many differences between the two lists. For example, on the activity list, the Samsara Guild is currently at the forefront, as last season's championship was snatched away by Blue Rain, leaving Samsara determined to reclaim it. Furthermore, the guild is directly rewarding players with high rankings with very generous contribution points.

After the next cycle comes Blue Rain from last season. As the champion of last season, Blue Rain's guild Blue River Pavilion is also working very hard this season. Although they are currently in second place, Blue River Pavilion was in first place just ten minutes ago. In just one hour, the first place has gone back and forth between the cycle and Blue River Pavilion three times.

Following these two guilds are traditionally strong guilds like Zhongcaotang and Baqixiongtu, whose points are very close. It's only the first day of the event, and they could easily overtake each other later. However, compared to Baqixiongtu, which is very strong in the league, their current points are somewhat mismatched with their team's ranking.

Beyond the twenty guilds, there's Excellent Era's Excellent Dynasty. Although Excellent Era has suffered some player loss due to its demotion, it's ultimately limited. After all, Excellent Era's club hasn't disbanded, and Excellent Dynasty's guild warehouse and other resources remain at a professional level. Players leaving Excellent Era aren't guaranteed to join another professional-level guild, not to mention the contribution points they'll have to grind from scratch—all costs. As for joining smaller guilds, the benefits of player-created guilds can't compare to those of a professional guild like Excellent Dynasty.

Therefore, not many players left Excellent Era, and with so many years of operation, Excellent Era still has some foundation.

Moreover, the news that Excellent Era is releasing now is all about trying to return to the professional league. Excellent Era fans naturally know that now is the time when the team needs them the most. Excellent Era has relied on the power of the players to reach eleventh place, directly squeezing a professional team out of the top twenty.

That's right, the guild that got squeezed out was Yi Zhan Tian Xia. After all, they were originally a player-run guild, and Yi Zhan's performance this season hadn't been ideal, their ranking was precarious, leading to low morale among the players. However, all of that changed completely three minutes ago. Because Yi Zhan Tian Xia used their LV5 money power!

This achievement elevates the rewards for this event to a level unmatched by any other guild. This impressive display not only demonstrates their team's determination but also ignites the morale of their guild members. Their ranking is already close to 20th, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Xiao Nai estimates that with their current momentum, Yi Zhan has a real chance of breaking into the top ten.

However, through this period of observation, the major guilds did make other discoveries. They actually found something that was advantageous to them: the number of level 75 players.

It's important to know that the level cap has only been open for less than a month, and events like this in Honor of Kings usually have different levels to ensure that lower-level players have a better gaming experience. From level 1 to 70, there's a ranking every five levels, but after level 70, there's a ranking every single level.

It has only been a little over twenty days since the level cap was opened. Because the various guilds take turns playing their characters, and the characters do not rest even when the players are resting, their core characters and team characters have reached level 75 in eleven days. Even Xiao Nai and others reached level 75 much later than them.

Those who play games every day are like this: a normal player only has a few hours of playtime a day, so how many levels can they possibly gain? Not to mention that some people can only play occasionally. This results in a very small number of players reaching level 75, with most of them in professional guilds. Players like Happy are even fewer.

Ultimately, Team Happy is still in its development stage. Even with Qiao Jingjing's support, its player base still can't compare to that of professional guilds, and many of its players are inactive. This results in a very limited number of level 75 characters for Team Happy…

And that's where the major guilds have an advantage!
Since this is a unique advantage of their respective guilds, could they take advantage of this and gang up on Happy during matchmaking?
They knew they couldn't beat top-tier players like Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu, but they still needed to find a way to limit their guild's growth. However, they also knew that, based on the matchmaking rules, they were lucky to have two teams from their guild in a single game, which meant ten people against five opponents…

They still die in a very rhythmic way...

"Why don't we invite a few more guilds? Maybe we can pool our numbers and make enough?" one guild leader thought.

In no time, in the chat groups established by the guild leaders of various guilds in the Realm of Gods, the guild leaders began to emerge one after another.

At first, they chatted casually about some unimportant things, and then someone tacitly steered the conversation toward the event.

"This time, both Samsara and Blue River Pavilion are doing quite well; you two have snatched so much."

"Your Yanyu Tower is quite nice too."

"By the way, is the leader of the Righteous Slaying the World guild in this group? I just checked the rankings, and they've started to step up their game. They've already broken into the top twenty."

"I don't know, why don't you look for it? But what's the situation with Hundred Flowers Valley? Why is it so far back?"

"But Happy is there, I can't find them."

“They’re on the second page. Don’t worry about the guild rankings; the main thing to watch out for is the individuals and teams.” Someone started to get to the real issue.
