"Did you have a conflict with your family? That's why you came here on New Year's Eve?" Gu Kai asked.

"I... my mother passed away the day before yesterday. I didn't know where else to go after finishing the follow-up matters yesterday. Brother Xu said that I can come here anytime, so I came here." Yang Yiang finished speaking His eyes instantly turned red.

After looking at each other, Xu Wenxiu stood up and walked to Yang Yiang, handed him toilet paper, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Sorry, we thought you had a conflict with your family. From now on, we can treat this place as your home."

"Thank you." Yang Yiang took the tissue and sniffed, his voice choked up.

In the next few days, Yang Yiang moved into an empty room in Zhao Yuchen's apartment. Gu Kai and Xu Wenxiu also brought him some real-life guidance. Not a small improvement.

These days, due to the Chinese New Year, most of the guild members of the big teams are on vacation, and Xiang Chen's gains in the boss fight are even greater than usual.

On February 11 and 12, several people who went home for the Chinese New Year arrived one after another. Yang Yiang also introduced himself to everyone one by one, and the team entered the preparations again.

The schedule for the first three rounds of the group stage had all ended years ago, and the six teams in the lower half had to be re-divided into two groups, c and d. Each group would continue to compete in rounds, and in the end there would only be one qualifying place.Team Xiang Chen was assigned to Group C after the draw. The other two teams in the group were both player teams, so there wasn't much pressure.

The two teams drawn from the league last season were both in the upper half, and this time they were drawn into the same group, which meant that Xiang Chen only had to face one professional team in the next game.

But in fact, everyone knows that this matter is not completely good for them, because now the eighth season of the league is halfway through, and they only have six months to prepare for the team's personnel and equipment, and to find training players.

Not to mention the tight schedule, if a new player like Yang Yiang doesn't gain enough experience in the game, there may be some troubles that shouldn't happen after he really stands on the league's field.

On February xx, the first game of the fourth round of Xiangchen, he played against his opponent at home.Zhao Zhexian was replaced by Yang Yiang, but because Yang Yiang's own account is not chaotic and due to the particularity of the priest role, it is still only at level 55, and Zhao Zhexian's priest role Wenxian is also temporarily taken over by Yang Yiang.

Since there are not many matches left, in order to hone their game skills, Xu Wenxiu, Han Hao and Luo Luo also took up one match each in the individual match, while Gu Kai still played the role of guard in the group arena.

In the team competition, Zhao Yuchen was also replaced by Xu Wenxiu. In addition to the indispensable priest Yang Yiang, their original formation has almost all been broken up. This is the real main lineup of Team Xiangchen. start to stand out.

Although they knew that this day would come sooner or later, when Gu Kai told them about it, Zhao Yuchen and the others still felt empty. Zhao Zhexian, who was kicked out of the team in advance, sneaked into the grassroots guild in the online game and was not arranged for the time being. Zhao Yuchen and the others are also consciously busy with guild affairs.

The three Xu Wenxiu won the three individual matches without pressure, and the two points in the group arena were also without pressure. So far, Xiang Chen has led [-]-[-].

In the team competition after the break, Xiang Chen, Gu Kai, Xu Wenxiu, Yang Yiang, He Yi, Jiang Xin started, and Zhao Yuchen was the sixth player.

But no one expected that Xiang Chen, who had swept all the way to the present in this match, would lose this time in the group arena.The final result was five to five.

After the game, Yang Yiang saw that several people were silent and didn't look very good, so he immediately ran to everyone and apologized, "I'm sorry! It's my fault. It's my first time participating in this kind of competition. I was too nervous and didn't perform well. I'm sorry everyone! "

Seeing Yang Yiang like this, Xu Wenxiu smiled and said, "Although your blood gain rhythm control in this game is a little flustered, it is generally very good, and the positioning rhythm is also very good. Especially the one with the attack effect in the middle of the game The flame node card is very good, in summary, I really can't see where you didn't play well."

"Ah?" Yang Yiang was a little confused.

"He said that it's not your responsibility to lose this game, you don't have to do this. In fact, everyone played well this time." Gu Kai continued.

"Then...why did we lose?" Yang Yiang asked.They have Gu Kai and Xu Wenxiu, the top gods in the league, and the opponent is just a player team, so it shouldn't be a miracle that they lost.

"That's right, why did you lose?" Xu Wenxiu said with a smile, patted Yang Yiang on the shoulder and made a shush gesture with him.

On the second day after the game, Team Xiangchen once again appealed to the league about the fairness of the team competition in this game, and also requested the league to re-examine the result of Xiangchen's last appeal.

Five days later, when the results came out, Xiang Chen's appeal was once again dismissed, and they were busy preparing for the next match so they ignored it.

As the No. [-] position in Group C, Xiang Chen had four matches in the fourth and fifth rounds that were close to each other, but the two-week break in the sixth round just gave them enough time to adjust to face the seventh round. round of competition.

In the second match of the fourth round, Xiang Chen played away. In the singles match, Han Haoluo and Xu Wenxiu came on the field. He simply scored three points, and in the group arena, he scored another two points. The current situation is the same as the previous match. With a five-to-zero lead, they temporarily lead the standings with ten points.

During the half-time break, Gu Kai once again requested a substitution to the organizer of the game, on the grounds that he suspected that there would be uncontrollable factors affecting the game, and that he was still on Xiangchen’s official Weibo and his own Weibo. The news was posted on the blog.

Seeing that the public opinion was overwhelming almost instantly, and because Xiang Chen had a clear reason for asking for a substitution this time, the game team that originally planned to reject Xiang Chen's request for a substitution had to agree.

In the team competition, Xiang Chen, Gu Kai, Xu Wenxiu, Luo Luo, Han Hao, Yang Yiang started, and He Yi was the sixth player.

Unexpectedly but not unexpectedly, Xiang Chen lost again.

After the game, reporters from all walks of life chased after Xiang Chen's players trying to find news, but no one from Xiang Chen accepted the interview.

The next day, Xiang Chen appealed to the league again, and sent a long letter written by Lin Ye on the team's official Weibo, directly expressing his confusion and doubts about the fairness of the league's games.At the same time, Xiang Chen also sent out a collection of various clips from the two games for everyone to check carefully.

Public opinion spread almost like a virus. Not only these two games, but even the one from Xiangchen years ago was picked up.

In several games, the key node moves were picked up by the public and studied over and over again. Finally, someone pointed out that in a certain game of Xiang Chen's game, there were several places where the opponent should be attacked, but the final result was I avoided it.

Leaving aside the last match of the third round of the year, Xiang Chenpai's individual match was also high-playing, and it was understandable to lose, but the team match was won in the end.

But these two games in the fourth round after the year are very illustrative.

In the team competition, Xiang Chen actually used a lot of moves that the opponent should not have avoided, or moves that should not have been missed.What's more, in this part of the "empty" move, Gu Kai and Xu Wenxiu also made the move, and the other party was just playing high.

In the second match, the number of "empty" moves has increased on Gu Kai and Xu Wenxiu, and it has a high probability on Luo Luo and Han Hao, especially He Yi, who played last. carry.

Such a low-level "missing" mistake really shouldn't have happened to veterans like Gu Kai, and even if it did, it shouldn't have happened so many times.Moreover, Xiang Chen had no reason to release the water at all.

Xiang Chen's complaint finally turned into a collective questioning and denunciation of the fairness of the league's games. Fans from all over the world were worried about whether such a game system error would happen in the league, even with the results of these few rounds of the league. has been greatly questioned.

Unable to bear the pressure, the league finally issued a statement to calm everyone down, saying that the league has investigated the results of these rounds and there is no problem.The league will also thoroughly investigate the Challenger League, and will not condone intentional fraud that interferes with the normal order of the game.

And for the sake of the fairness of the Challenger League, and for the Alliance to have enough time to investigate this matter, the Alliance announced that the Challenger League will be temporarily suspended for a week. If there is any change in the start time, it will be notified separately.

After returning to the dormitory at night, Xu Wenxiu washed up and walked into his room, and saw Gu Kai browsing the news and forum interfaces with great interest.I walked over and took a look. It was a post discussing Xiang Chen's appeal and the fairness of league games.

"Now that the commotion has become so big, even if it's for the sake of its own reputation, the alliance will not perfuse us." Xu Wenxiu said.

"Yeah." Gu Kai nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Xu Wenxiu, "The alliance wants to interview us, what do you think?"

"Go ahead, there's no reason not to go. The Alliance should have had a lot of trouble because of this matter. If we are picked up about not going after being invited, the Alliance will probably see us as a thorn in their side." Xu Wenxiu laugh.

"Yes, the people in the alliance probably aren't stupid enough to collude with Hei Sai, this matter is still going to pass." Gu Kai said.

"Yes." Xu Wenxiu nodded in agreement.

The next day, Xu Wenxiu and Gu Kai went to the alliance headquarters with Zhao Yuchen.After entering the alliance, the three of them were brought into a conference room by someone.After a while, Cao Kuo, the president of the alliance, came in to greet them.

"Captain Gu, Xu Wenxiu, it's been a long time." Cao Kuo greeted and shook hands with the two in turn, and then asked Zhao Yuchen next to him, "Hi, I'm Cao Kuo."

"Hello, I'm Zhao Yuchen, Xiangchen's manager." Zhao Yuchen shook hands with Cao Kuo with excitement, and introduced himself.

Gu Kai should have had many opportunities to meet the president of the alliance in the Nine Regions before, and Xu Wenxiu should have met him seven years ago, so he didn't seem restrained at this time.But for players like them, the president of the alliance is really a character that can only be seen on TV, and he is also a little excited.

"I remember that you are also Xiang Chen's team member, right?" Cao Kuo asked with a smile.

"Ah, that's just a substitute." Zhao Yuchen replied with a smile.

"I called some of you here today, because there are a few things I want to tell you. But I think you should already know what I want to say." Cao Kuo said after sitting down with several people.
