Chapter 266 A Last Stand

In the exciting playoffs, everyone is trying their best to win. Maybe just an oversight, a little carelessness, and losing a game... can be enough to ruin a chance to win the championship.

This is not only a waste of a year, it is enough to completely negate all previous efforts.

For a team whose only goal is to win the championship, everything is meaningless if it cannot win the championship.

Not much can be done in two days.

The time is too short, even if you want to change, it is too late. One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage, the possibility of e-sports trying to adapt temporarily is too low.

How will Excellent Era digest this failure and cope with the next game?

Everyone can't wait to know the result.

It was only two short days. Compared to the previous regular season, which was once a week, everyone felt that the time was extremely long.

The impact of this defeat is not over yet. Because of Tiny Herb's previous performance, many people have begun to express their optimism about Tiny Herb.

As for the prediction of the outcome of this game, Tiny Herb got more than 70% support rate, which is a quite terrifying rate.

The reason is that Tiny Herb has achieved a breakthrough in Excellent Era from scratch.

If you can defeat it once, you can do it the second time.

The previous game was clearly between Samsara and Blue Rain, but in various forums, everyone was discussing Tiny Herb's victory over Excellent Era.

However, although Excellent Era failed, it still has many supporters, and their views are somewhat similar to those above.

Being defeated once does not mean that you can be defeated a second time.

However, the focus now is on Tiny Herb, which seems to be even more popular.

Two days passed quickly and slowly.

The playoff between Tiny Herb and Excellent Era is coming.

The tickets were sold out as early as the day they were released. Even the scalpers had no tickets. The channel's ratings were already frighteningly high before the game even started. It was obvious that this was another focus battle in the true sense.

This game will determine who can stand out, enter the playoffs, and compete for the final championship!

This game is the home game of Excellent Era, but there are not many Excellent Era fans who have grabbed tickets. Moreover, it seems that it is the home court, which is beneficial to Excellent Era, but the map for the playoff is randomly determined by the official.

In order to ensure fairness, the maps are all brand-new maps specially produced, and there will be no favoritism to any party.

It's eight o'clock.

All members of Excellent Era showed up on time.

In the venue, the surrounding noise brings invisible pressure, everything is so real.

The suffocating feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff and falling into the abyss if you are not careful makes people stop breathing.

Everyone, especially Qiu Fei and Zhao Yang, suffered a defeat that made them feel that they were in a real playoff game, rather than just playing house.

In these two days, they did nothing, or in other words, it was the same as before. After the game, they reviewed the game as usual and then conducted some simple training.

The playoffs themselves are tight and it is impossible to conduct too heavy a training session.

After Chen Xing and Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan discussed it, no additional adjustments were made and everything remained as usual.

Completely let everyone feel the feeling of failure.

A defeat allowed them to take off their seemingly easy disguise in the playoffs.

The playoffs are really completely different from the regular season.

Perhaps it was from the moment of defeat that they truly began to enter the playoffs.

Everyone digests this pressure and dignity in different ways.

Compared to before, Qiu Fei took more time to train besides taking necessary rest.

Chen Xing didn't stop him. This was just a way to digest stress. Compared with this fatigue, it was better than the mental impact.

Zhao Yang, on the other hand, opened the previous games in Linhai to watch, while Lin Jingyan looked a little solemn and reviewed and analyzed the opponent alone.

In contrast, Chen Xing himself and Zhang Jiale were relatively calm.

They definitely know the importance of this game better than anyone else. This calmness is more just because they have experienced more, so they don't seem too nervous and anxious.

Blue Rain has experienced similar situations like this before when playing against Tyranny, and most teams will have such experiences.

But this team has not experienced it yet.

"Maybe it's a good thing."

Chen Xing said while chatting with Zhang Jiale.

Zhang Jiale smiled: "I understand how to fight against the odds."

…

Now, those short two days have long passed, and this moment has finally arrived.

Even if they are just competing for the ticket to enter the finals, the opponents at this moment are more fierce than ever.

Before going on stage, Excellent Era members formed a circle.

"A last-ditch fight." Chen Xing said, clenching his fist and extending his hand.

On their faces, there were neither frivolous smiles nor depressed expressions, only determination, and everyone reached out to join hands...

"Must win!!!"

The contestants on both sides came on stage at the same time, and the lights fell on them.

At this time, Pan Lin and Li Yibo were already in place in the broadcast room, and Pan Lin was reading the opening words loudly.

"Welcome to the audience to watch this exciting event! At this moment, I think you all can't hold back my emotions like me. Is Excellent Era defending its dominance this year and winning over Tiny Herb, or is it Tiny Herb?

They came from behind to completely overthrow Excellent Era and enter the finals, and all the answers will be revealed tonight!"

"The players on the field are shaking hands now. We can now guess who will appear in the next arena match. Director Li, what do you think..."

On stage.

Excellent Era and Tiny Herb's teams met and took the lead in shaking hands with Wang Jiexi. Chen Xing smiled slightly and said, "This time, we will not lose."

"Neither can we." Wang Jiexi said calmly.

Even though the team in front of them had been in the lead from the beginning of the season until the end of the regular season, they maintained a record of undefeated victory and set an unprecedented record.

Excellent Era's performance in the regular season, no matter what it is, is absolutely terrifying. The team also has two newcomers who are not inferior to Gao Yingjie, and are even better than them on paper.

But, this is the playoffs.

The so-called glory of the regular season is useless here. Since Tiny Herb was able to defeat them once, why couldn't they defeat them a second time?

Why can't the regular season champion be overthrown in the semifinals?

What's more, Wang Jiexi believes in his team as much as he believes in himself.

"Then we'll find out on the field."

"certainly."

Then both of them smiled, and then walked towards each other's next player...

In this game, neither team has much connection.

Excellent Era's arch-rival Tyranny had already been eliminated in the final four, and Blue Rain, who had been at odds with Tiny Herb for a long time, was also eliminated two days ago.

But this game doesn't need to have any other meaning attached to it.

Just the thought of competing for the championship makes people's hearts agitate.

Compared to Excellent Era, Samsara is more stable in the playoffs. After all, they were the championship last year and have plenty of experience.

Now, the process has been completed, and both parties in the audience have reported.

Amidst the louder and louder shouts of support, the names of the first players from both sides to take the field were printed on the electronic screen.

Excellent Era, Qiu Fei, character One Autumn Leaf.

Tiny Herb, Gao Yingjie, character Mu En.

"On Tiny Herb's side, Gao Yingjie is still leading the charge, while on Excellent Era's side, Qiu Fei is sent to play. Speaking of which, these two players are actually newcomers at the same time..."

Gao Yingjie is also a player who debuted in Season 8. Although he is known as a genius, due to his introverted and shy personality, Tiny Herb protects him in every aspect.

In comparison, Excellent Era's treatment of Qiu Fei was simple and rough.

He was the main force in his debut and there was no transition at all, but this did not cause any damage to Qiu Fei. Instead, it allowed him to grow faster. Although he only played for half a season, he did not fall behind in individual competitions and team competitions.

When the season started, he actually played a lot more games than Gao Yingjie. With his absolute strength, he won the honor of the best rookie in the eighth season.

In the new season, Gao Yingjie finally began to adapt to the game, and his performance became more and more in line with everyone's expectations of him.

But it’s still a little early to immediately take on the responsibility of supporting a team.

The current performance and status of the two in the team are actually almost the same.

However, Qiu Fei has already inherited One Autumn Leaf.
