The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

After the game with the Samsara team, Samsara's vice-captain Jiang Botao took the initiative to invite the Thunder players to have a meal together.

"This season will probably be a competition between you and Happy."

After dinner, Jiang Botao took the initiative to invite An Ning and Xiao Shiqin to another private room.

There are only Jiang Botao, An Ning and Xiao Shiqin here.

In this environment without the presence of reporters, Jiang Botao also expressed his thoughts.

Jiang Botao couldn't tell everything in front of the reporters.

Even if they know in their hearts that the Samsara team has no hope this season, they will still say that the Samsara team has the strength to compete for the championship.

"Why are you so unconfident?"

An Ning asked.

In An Ning's opinion, the Samsara team is also strengthening this season. In the eighth season, Samsara was able to win the championship with a single core. This season, with Sun Xiang as a supplement, there is no reason for them to be so unconfident.

"Sun Xiang still needs to work on his game, and his coordination with the team is far from perfect."

Jiang Botao said frankly.

These things can still be revealed to An Ning and Xiao Shiqin.

Even if Jiang Botao didn't reveal it, An Ning and Xiao Shiqin could see it.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to expose it actively.

"Xingxin is our biggest enemy. I hope you can defeat them."

Jiang Botao said to An Ning and Xiao Shiqin.

"We will of course work hard for it, but according to the current points situation, you should meet us first, right?"

Xiao Shiqin said.

In the current standings, Team Xingxin is undoubtedly number one.

In the first round, Xingxin will face the eighth-ranked team.

The second-placed Samsara team will face the seventh-placed team.

Thunder is in sixth place, competing with Vici Gaming for the chance to advance.

Blue Rain and Tyranny will compete for the fourth qualifying spot.

If both Samsara and Thunder can defeat their opponents, they will meet in the second round.

"That's right, what a pity, it would have been great if you were ranked fourth."

Jiang Botao also sighed and said.

If Thunder ranks fourth, it will undoubtedly meet Happy in the second round.

No matter what, Xingxin should not lose to 3010hua or Howling, which may be ranked eighth.

"How about you guys just let us go? Let us go all out to deal with Team Happy, what do you think?"

An Ning said jokingly.

"Reincarnation will not let you off the hook, and I think the same goes for you."

Jiang Botao glanced at An Ning.

"Oh... that's right."

Only a few seconds had passed when it was An Ning's turn to say this.

"Good luck to you."

Jiang Botao said to An Ning and Xiao Shiqin.

"The same goes for you guys, don't fail in the first round."

An Ning also responded.

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you in the second round to avenge today's revenge."

After Jiang Botao left this sentence, he took the initiative to return to the dinner party.

An Ning and Xiao Shiqin were silent for a moment.

"Old Xiao... Is this guy having a chuunibyou attack?"

An Ning looked at Xiao Shiqin beside her.

"This...I don't know either."

Xiao Shiqin couldn't laugh or cry.

Everyone was chatting happily when Jiang Botao suddenly left this comment.

Xiao Shiqin was completely confused.

"Anyway, let's go back first."

Xiao Shiqin said to An Ning.

At this time, the atmosphere of the dinner party was quite high.

Du Mingzheng was pulling Fang Xuecai to sing The Lone Brave Man.

Just like being drunk.

"How can you drink too much juice?"

An Ning said as she sat next to Chu Yunxiu.

"We've all played for a season, and we've been holding it in for a long time, so we just let it out..."

Chu Yunxiu said to An Ning.

After saying this, Chu Yunxiu also joined in the fun.

This season's Reincarnation and Thunder are actually somewhat similar.

After Samsara won the championship in the eighth season, the top management of Samsara originally planned to train Samsara to become the next Excellent Era.

But in the ninth season, they were defeated by Team Tyranny and their dream of winning consecutive championships was shattered.

The Samsara team immediately gathered the players to discuss countermeasures, and spent a large amount of money to introduce Sun Xiang and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu during the transfer period, hoping that Samsara could win the championship again.

Originally, the Samsara team was one of the strongest teams in the league. The main reason why they lost to Tyranny was that old guys like Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan fought for their lives. In terms of the strength of the players, the Samsara team was inferior to the opponent. Even though Zhou Zekai was young and strong, he couldn't do the job of two.

Tyranny has Lin Jingyan, Zhang Jiale, and Han Wenqing, while Samsara has nothing that can make up for the shortcomings.

That's why they choose to recruit players after failure.

But the result...

Not to mention the Thunder, whose lineup has also become luxurious this season, the Happy team led by Ye Xiu alone has brought excitement far beyond ordinary people's expectations.

Fang Rui, Sun Zheping, Zhao Yang, and other players who were either troubled by injuries or were no longer in their prime, far exceeded their potential under Ye Xiu's command.

Even in the middle of the season, Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Zhao Yang were selected as the best starting players of the week, and Sun Zheping was also selected as the best sixth player of the week.

Why are there only five people?

Guess who's missing.

There must be a priest in the weekly best team.

And in these weeks, Zhang Xinjie was selected.

As for Happy’s current pastor, An Wenyi…tsk.

The future is promising.

With a huge mountain like Happy facing them, the Samsara team is naturally under great pressure.

The same is true for the Thunder.

Xiao Shiqin himself had a nightmare because of being defeated by Ye Xiu during the challenge match.

In addition, there are indeed some deficiencies in the players, which means that the Thunder Team can only use some special playing methods to hope to defeat Xingxin.

This is like a war. If the outcome cannot be determined at the commander-in-chief level, then it depends on the second-in-command of the two armies.

At the head coach level of both sides, there is no doubt that there is not much difference between Xiao Shiqin and Ye Xiu as commanders.

So it depends on the second-in-command of both sides.

Between An Ning and Su Mucheng, An Ning wins in this regard.

The third in command of both parties.

Chu Yunxiu and Fang Rui, that’s also where Thunder has the advantage.

Four in command.

Dai Yanqi and Zhao Yang...this is where the gap between them widened.

As for Fang Xuecai and Lu Yining who came later, they were even inferior to Sun Zheping and Tang Rou.

Although at the priest level, the Thunder has an advantage.

But in the final analysis... Xingxin has the bug of Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu is both capable of fighting and commanding, and can even fight and command at the same time.

The profession of Sanren is also very difficult to deal with.

It can be said that Ye Xiu alone can make up for most of the disadvantages.

Before this, An Ning had successfully blocked Huang Shaotian, Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, and Zhou Zekai.

But... if the opponent was Ye Xiu, An Ning still had little confidence.

After all, it is clear that the other party is the "protagonist" of this world, and it may not be easy to break his destiny.

Therefore, the pressure on the Thunder Team is naturally very great.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yunxiu also noticed An Ning's silence at this time.

"When it's time to play, you have to have fun!"

Chu Yunxiu hugged An Ning's neck, and then spoke to the people who were having fun with Lunhui and Lei Ting.

"Take one of us!"

Chu Yunxiu shouted to the middle.

……

After returning to the Thunder Team’s base.

Chu Yunxiu and Dai Yanqi came out of their respective rooms with dark circles under their eyes.

"How can you come so early?"

Chu Yunxiu said as she looked at An Ning and Xiao Shiqin who were already downstairs preparing to go to the training room.

"It's because you guys insisted on having a small talk party last night."

An Ning said speechlessly.

Because the opponents in this round are of average strength, and in order to adjust the players' condition, the Thunder added one more day of rest this week.

Today is actually a holiday.

However, An Ning and Xiao Shiqin really had nothing to do, so they decided to go to the training room to watch the videos of the recent games of the Xingxin team and study the habits of the Xingxin team in the game.

"Then wait for me for a while. I'll go wash my face and go with you guys."

Chu Yunxiu said to the two of them from above.

"Today is a holiday, so you don't have to come with us."

An Ning glanced at Xiao Shiqin and then said.

"I told you to wait, so just wait!"

After Chu Yunxiu said this, she disappeared directly from the second floor.

"how about you?"

An Ning looked at Dai Yanqi who almost fell asleep hugging the railing on the other side.

"Uh-huh?"

After hearing what An Ning said, Dai Yanqi immediately came to her senses, but it only lasted for a moment.

"I...I want to go too..."

Dai Yanqi muttered to herself, trying very hard to remain standing.

An Ning had no choice but to go back to the second floor and push Dai Yanqi back into Dai Yanqi's room.

"Since you are too sleepy to stand, don't force yourself."

An Ning understood that the other party wanted to listen to his and Xiao Shiqin's analysis of the game, so as to learn Xiao Shiqin's analytical ability.

But to put it bluntly, this is not something that can be learned overnight, and it won’t take just one day or one or two games.

After sending Dai Yanqi, who was about to fall asleep while standing, back into the house, An Ning also returned downstairs and chatted with Xiao Shiqin and Yang Xinyue, who was responsible for taking care of the Thunder players' daily life.

Five minutes later, Chu Yunxiu also ran downstairs in a hurry.

Chu Yunxiu doesn’t have the habit of wearing makeup, at least not in front of her own people.

So Chu Yunxiu just washed her face and brushed her teeth and ran downstairs.

……

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the training room.

At this time, Fang Xuecai had already started training in the training room.

"Didn't you say today is a holiday? Why are you still here?"

An Ning said to Fang Xuecai.

"I was tortured by you."

Fang Xuecai looked at An Ning with resentment.

In order to prepare for the playoffs, An Ning and Xiao Shiqin also increased the training pace of the Thunder players.

After adapting to this rhythm, Fang Xue found that he couldn't sit still during the holidays.

Moreover, if you slack off today and then throw yourself into high-intensity training tomorrow, you will become very tired. It is better to just maintain the same pace as last week.

"Would you like to watch the game together?"

Xiao Shiqin suggested to Fang Xuecai.

"Forget it. You guys finish your research. I'd better practice the accuracy of my fatal strike."

Fang Xuecai waved his hand.

The Thunder Team now has Xiao Shiqin, An Ning and Chu Yunxiu, so it is not his turn to worry about tactics and command.

As for the future... Fang Xuecai, who debuted in the fifth season, is not much younger than Xiao Shiqin and Chu Yunxiu, and is even one year older than An Ning.

If anyone is to retire, it should be Fang Xuecai who should retire first.

"Which game do you want to watch?"

An Ning said as she operated the live broadcast playback on the computer.

"From Happy and Tyranny, right?"

Xiao Shiqin said.

"Ah."

An Ning nodded and started playing the match between Xingxin and Tyranny.

In this match, Xingxin defeated Team Tyranny 6-4.

Apart from the team competition, Ye Xiu was the only member of Xingxin who won a victory in the individual competition.

“Do I still need to watch the first game?”

An Ning said to Xiao Shiqin.

"The first game... forget it."

Xiao Shiqin shook his head.

In a match like Ye Xiu vs. Song Qiying where there is such a huge disparity in strength, it is impossible to tell what's going on.

The three of them didn't come here to study Song Qiying, so they naturally ignored him.

"Then the second game."

The second match was between Tang Rou and Qin Muyun.

Although An Ning didn't think Tang Rou would be able to play in the team competition when she met Xingxin later.

But it's worth a look, just in case.

"This Tang Rou has good skills and awareness...but she is a little impatient, which can be used to her advantage."

Xiao Shiqin quickly summed up Tang Rou's style.

Tang Rou didn't play many games this season, but she performed well in every game. Among the newcomers who debuted this season, there are probably no other players who can compare with Tang Rou.

But when facing Qin Muyun, he still failed to defeat him.

"It would be great if Qin Muyun was in our team."

Chu Yunxiu also felt a little regretful.

As far as the current league's sharpshooters are concerned, Qin Muyun is undoubtedly second only to Zhou Zekai.

He is much stronger than Lu Yining.

Lu Yining can only be a supplement in the team competition, while Qin Muyun can not only perfectly replicate Lu Yining's role in the team competition, but also compete for a point in the individual competition.

"A contestant like this only debuted in the ninth season."

Xiao Shiqin also sighed.

The Thunder's rookie selection has always been a flaw. One of their only two good cards was not discovered by themselves.

Then in the third game, Han Wenqing faced Fang Rui and directly carried Fang Rui away with one move.

As for the ring match, it was also easily won by the Tyranny team.

"If you want to guard against Happy, you still have to compete in the team competition."

Chu Yunxiu said.

An Ning and Xiao Shiqin also agreed with this.

In the previous match against Happy, the opponent was also more difficult to deal with in the team competition.

"But the playoffs... will be a five-person tournament."

At this time, Fang Xuecai's sudden words also made the three people silent.

That’s right, the playoffs... are five-man competitions.

What about Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim?

An Ning and Xiao Shiqin suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
