    Chapter 1181: The Demonic Journey to Championship


    Trantor: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi


    Although Samsara’s performance was as strong as ever, on the points rankings after this round, they slipped down two ces. Tiny Herb, who had originally onlygged behind by one point, won 9 to 1 against Miracle and surpassed Samsara by one point. Wind Howl, who was originally behind Samsara by two points, had swept Bright Green 10 to 0 and were also now one point ahead of Samsara. Because of their alphabetical advantage, Wind Howl (Huxiao) was currently in the lead. Tiny Herb (Weicao) was in second with the same number of points, 36, and third ce was Samsara with 35.


    After losing in their away game to Samsara, 3 to 7, there was a bit of distance between their 30 points and the first three ces. Misty Rain had 30 points as well, but lost alphabetically (Yanyu) to Blue Rain (Lanyu) and were currently in fifth.


    Sixth ce Tyranny was now a full ten points below the first ce. Although their 7-3 win against Happy wasn’t terrible, the fact that they’d gotten a big fat 0 in the individualpetition was still snatched up by the reporters looking for a topic of interest.


    There were two other teams also at 26 points, Thunderp and Void. This round, Thunderp yed an away game at 301 Degrees, and in the end they tied at 5 to 5.


    This result happened when one team won all of their individual battles, and the other team won 5 points in the teampetition. This result was rtively rare. The individual battles were split into the individualpetition and the group arena, and those 5 points were split up, so a team could normally snatch at least one or two points. Unlike the team round, there were no teammates to help save a dangerous situation, and the team’s strength was scattered. There could be a situation like Tian Ji’s Horse Race*, or just onerge mistake that affected a battle’s oue.


    Thus, even when a powerhouse faced a weak team, they wouldn’t dare to guarantee a full 10 point victory. With one small mistake, the opponent could snatch that one or two points. It could be said that it was even more difficult to get all 5 points of the individual battles than the 5 of the teampetition, since the teampetition was determined in one battle.


    And in this match, 301 Degrees won 5 points in the individual battles. As long as they won the teampetition, they would win 10 to 0, a perfect victory. But in the end, even though they had the home advantage, they were still defeated by Thunderp...


    To fail to get a single point in the individual battles would definitely have an effect on a team’s mindset when entering the teampetition. Thunderp, however, was exceptionally resolute. Thunderp’s change this season had been discussed all throughout the past three rounds, some people felt that they had changed, while others felt that this was just the return of the old Thunderp. But after this teampetition, famousmentator Cha Xiaoxia wrote that Thunderp had indeed changed, even from the previous Thunderp that had Xiao Shiqin.


    "The current Thunderp is more confident and more determined.


    This change is what Xiao Shiqin brought back upon his return. He experienced a failed year with Excellent Era, but he found exactly what he needed. He brought this back and changed the face of Thunderp. I look forward to their performance this season."


    This was thementary Cha Xiaoxia wrote after this round. And, as a self-proimed Happy fanboy, he of course wouldn’t skip on thementary of Happy vs Tyranny.


    Regarding Tang Rou’s promise of a 1v3, fanboy Cha Xiaoxia was resolute in his hope that Tang Rou would seed, but he was still a bit worried. He worried that Tang Rou couldn’t aplish it, but he also worried that Happy, in order to facilitate the 1v3, would ruin the rhythm of their their team arrangement. In this round, Happy’s order of battle for the individual battles were indeed different from before.


    Inparison, the Esports Time reporter Ruan Cheng, who attacked Tang Rou the most, didn’t write much after Tang Rou lost to the first opponent in this match. All he said was a simple "as expected." It seemed that Ruan Cheng wasn’t someone who would get excited over the just smallest thing, and it even seemed that he had begun to lose interest in this matter. However, the people who knew Ruan Cheng understood that this was just because the time wasn’t yet ripe. She had five rounds to 1v3, this was only the first.


    "If she doesn’t do it in four rounds, and in the eighth round, Ruan Cheng isn’t at the Tiny Herb vs Happy post-match press conference, then there are only two possibilities. One, Tang Roupleted the 1v3 in that match. Two, Ruan Cheng experienced an inescapable natural disaster." This was the judgment of someone who knew Ruan Cheng well. This wasn’t even a Glory match any more, it seemed to be a showdown between yer and reporter.


    Winning 7 points against Happy, Tyranny’s current score of 26 points wasn’t too bad. But Void (Xukong), who also had 26 points and was one ce behind Tyranny (Batu) by alphabet, hadn’t done too well this round. Although they were ying an away game, their opponent Conquering Clouds wasn’t any strong team. The final score of 6 to 4 was unsatisfactory to Void supporters.


    There was also Hundred Blossoms. After losing to Happy in their away game, they yed a home game in the third round, but lost to 301 Degrees, 3 to 7. It seemed like Hundred Blossoms was beaten senseless. This round they fought an away game against Seaside, but the end result was still only 6-4. It had to be remembered that Seaside was the team with the worst performance in the first three rounds. Aside from winning 2 points against Misty Rain in the first round, they were swept in the second and third round. In low spirits, they fought against Hundred Blossoms who was also in bad condition, they actually managed to snatch 4 points. Even though Hundred Blossoms won and Seaside lost, but because of each of their skill levels and positions, Hundred Blossoms was the one unsatisfied, while Seaside seemed to have found the light of dawn.


    After Hundred Blossoms’ small victory of 6 points, they were 11th on the leaderboard with 18 points. Ahead of them was the team that had tied with Thunderp, 301 Degrees with 19 points. Ninth was Parade, after fighting a home game against Radiant, a team around their skill level, they earned a beautiful 8 to 2, and currently had 20 points.


    Royal Style was at 12th, having suffered in their away game this round against Heavenly Swords 3 to 7. Royal Style slid down two ces on the leaderboard, while these 7 points allowed Heavenly Swords to finally fight out of the relegation area, to 16th ce.


    At 13th was Happy, at 15 points after four rounds. Aside from their big win against Hundred Blossoms in the second round, they had not tasted another victory. Disregarding the first ce on the leaderboard, their distance to eighth ce, thest yoff spot, was arge 11 point difference.


    This ranking was a far cry from their early deration of aiming for the championship. Quite a few people talked about this alongside Tang Rou’s 1v3 in five rounds. Was this sort of arrogant attitude just Happy’s style?


    Crashing in two consecutive rounds, Happy couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened. Even though they knew that this team still had problems here and there, their thirst for victory wouldn’t be dampened at all. Sundays after match Saturdays were Alliance-regted rest days, but when Chen Guo came to the Inte cafe early Sunday morning, she saw that the door to the second floor was already opened, everyone already lined up in the training room.


    These guys...


    Chen Guo couldn’t help but sigh. In reality, she’d alreadymented this many times. Even if Happy’s people mightck in skill, their spirit was never something to worry about. Big loss, big win, ups and downs, many people might not even be able to sleep at night. But Happy’s people could always adjust, and continue to sit in front of theirputers, working hard.


    Like this, we’ll win for sure. Chen Guo carried this thought, and Happy continued to train hard.


    Round 5...


    Round 6...


    Time passed quickly. September was over in the blink of an eye, and they were now halfway through October. Starting from the fifth round, the Pro Alliance was reaching consecutive highs, powerful matches appearing one after another.


    In Round 5, Samsara yed an away game at Tiny Herb. Samsara’s crushing dominance seemed to shrink again, but they still managed to win, 6 to 4. On Tiny Herb’s home field, Samsara obtained a small victory. In the same round, another match between powerhouses received attention, Tyranny against Blue Rain. On their home field, Blue Rain emerged victorious, 7 to 3.


    And then in Round 6, there were two more important faceoffs. Tiny Herb at Tyranny, Wind Howl at Samsara.


    In the end, Tyranny earned a small victory over Tiny Herb, 6 to 4. But the discussions about their capabilities didn’t quiet down. Compared to their strengthst season, where they had led the leaderboard the entire time, this season Tyranny was hovering just above the cutoff for yoffs, even falling down asionally. They no longer had the boldness ofst year.


    Samsara had their home game this match, taking down Wind Howl 8 to 2. And in the post-match press conference, the manager of Club Samsara suddenly expressed hisints about Samsara’s match schedule this season.


    "Starting from Round 3, Tyranny, Blue Rain, Tiny Herb, Wind Howl... If I called this the most demonic match schedule in history, I don’t think anyone would object? At the same time I haven’t forgotten, after this round in Rounds 7 and 8, we’re facing Misty Rain and Void. This is truly an unforgettable journey to the championship."


    In reality, the sharper reporters discovered early on that Samsara’s match schedule was so demonic, and they’d used this in some of their questions toward Samsara. Samsara didn’t try to avoid the topic, but they downyed it. Now after six rounds of opponents, four of which were powerhouses, no matter whether they were home or away, Samsara managed to defeat all of them. No one asked, but Samsara now voluntarily brought up this point.


    The reporters suddenly understood. Samsara didn’t want to discuss this before because they wanted to follow the style of their captain Zhou Zekai: no talk, just do!


    And so they won their way here. Big or small victories, they won against every powerhouse.


    And so now, they could discuss this problem with no pressure at all. This wouldn’t feel like an excuse, because they hadpletely conquered this challenging match order.


    The cameras clicked and shed as the reporters asked each of the yers onstage about their feelings after facing this demonic match schedule.


    "These victories were extremely important, both in earning points for our team, and in suppressing our mainpetitors. I’m d we were able to aplish this," Vice-captain Jiang Botao said.


    "Not bad, but I think that we can do even better." Bringing One Autumn Leaf from Excellent Era and swiftly bing a crucial yer for Samsara, Sun Xiang had be less haughty than before, but his confidence had increased quite a lot.


    "..." Samsara’s Captain Zhou Zekai, after about ten seconds of long thinking, finally nodded. "Good."


    "What’s good? That winning these matches was just ’good,’ or ’good’ thing you managed to win these matches?" one reporter asked.


    "Mm..." The long thinking was inevitable, and everyone waited patiently.


    "Both!" After this long thinking, Zhou Zekai replied with this one word.


    "Could you talk about your views of Tang Rou of Happy, who dered she wouldplete a 1v3 in five rounds?" The reporters tirelessly chased after almost every yer in the Alliance with this question. They were still asking, which meant that Tang Rou had yet to seed. Right now, three of the five rounds had passed. Tang Rou only had two more chances.
