Chapter 620: Excellent Era Relegated
April soon came to an end. In April, the Pro Alliance held a total of five matches. There were
only two matches remaining now. The positions of many teams on the rankings list were
already determined. The first place spot in the regular season looked as if it would be taken by
Team Blue Rain. For all five matches in April, Team Blue Rain had performed consistently well
and were currently five points ahead of the second place team, Samsara. Their opponents in the
next two matches had no hope of making it to the playoffs and wouldn’t get relegated either
way. These types of opponents wouldn’t try very hard for these upcoming matches. Under this
type of situation, allowing Samsara to close the five point gap wasn’t Team Blue Rain’s style, so
nearly everyone agreed that Team Blue Rain would take first during the regular season.
As for second, third, and fourth places, after the five matches in April, there were only slight
differences in points, but their rankings stayed the same: Samsara, Tiny Herb, and Tyranny.
After them, Team Misty Rain was locked into fifth place and Team Void was locked into sixth.
Their spots in the playoffs were also firmly set.
In seventh place was Team 301. They could still lose their playoff spot, but the probability of
that happening was extremely low. In other words, it would be a miracle if they managed to
lose their spot. Miracles didn’t happen often, so everyone also treated their playoff spot as
fixed.
Team Wind Howl and Team Thunderclap were fighting for the final ticket to the playoffs. Their
former competitor, Team Royal Style, had no possibility of making it through anymore. As for
Team Hundred Blossoms, they were in a similar situation as Team 301. The only difference was
that instead of the possibility of losing their playoff spot, they could be relegated in theory.
As a result, for the next two matches, fans of Team Wind Howl and Team Thunderclap were the
most worried, but no matter what, one of these two teams would not make it to the playoffs.
This was the cruel nature of competition.
In comparison to the fight for the playoff spot, the relegation spots weren’t watched as much.
the entire season, no one cared about whether they survived or died. Excellent Era, on the other
hand, had continued to drop to second to last place and raised much criticism from everyone.
However, because Excellent Era could still place outside of relegations, quite a few analyzed
their past results. Even though many fans saw that Excellent Era seemed to be determined to
get relegated, in reality, they were just barely outside the relegation zone most of the time. It
was only their second time breaking through the door to relegations.
When did the first time happen?
The fans of Excellent Era quickly remembered. At that time, it was still winter. Their captain for
seven years, Ye Qiu, had announced his retirement. The exceptional talent, Sun Xiang, who had
already been regarded as a God, joined Excellent Era and inherited the legendary Battle God,
One Autumn Leaf.
At that time, some were disappointed. Some were hopeful. Some hoped for a miracle.
And now a miracle had truly occurred!
Except this wasn’t the miracle that they had expected. Even when Excellent Era had fallen to
second to last place for the first time that winter and the feelings of the fans were ice-cold like
“It’s true, but how can they spin it like that! It’s like they’re blaming your for their problems!”
Chen Guo continued to vent.
At this moment, Wei Chen looked strangely at Chen Guo: “Are you saying it’s not his fault? If he
didn’t wipe out their team in game, no matter how terrible Excellent Era performed, they
wouldn’t be in such a messed up jumble that they might even end up getting relegated.”
“They reap what they sow.” Chen Guo refuted.
“Women! Weak, kind-hearted, and they don’t listen to reason! It’s an inborn trait.” Wei Chen
sighed.
“Let’s stop arguing.” Ye Xiu hastily urged them to stop.
“Excellent Era getting relegated is my fault.” Ye Xiu expressed with sorrow. He didn’t wait for
Chen Guo to refute and immediately continued: “But how would I have known that wiping them
out in game would turn out like this? No one would have imagined that such actions would have
so severe a consequence? But you can’t deny their current record either. They’re still young.
They still have chances. They shouldn’t give up so easily. I don’t know what they plan on doing
in the future. Too much has been happening recently. I want to be by myself for a bit. If you
don’t need me for anything, I’ll be leaving.”
Ye Xiu took out a cigarette after speaking. Wei Chen and Chen Guo looked at one another. After
a while, Chen Guo turned to Wei Chen and asked: “Why does that sound so familiar?”
“......”
In the end, Excellent Era was relegated. On May 13th, Glory’s eighth regular season came to an
end.
Blue Rain, Samsara, Tiny Herb, Tyranny, Misty Rain, Void, 301, and Thunderclap entered the
playoffs. The other teams were on break for the next week. Excellent Era and Mysterious
Fantasy were relegated. In the Alliance’s history, relegations almost always meant the
disappearance of a team. Except this time, a formerly glorious team like Excellent Era had been
Excellent Era’s other extremely popular player, the All Star, Su Mucheng. There was also the
vice captain Liu Hao, who had performed quite well throughout the season. There were also the
main and substitute players. The interviewer wanted to interview as many people in Excellent
Era as possible.
But unfortunately, whether it was because these people didn’t want to be interviewed or if the
Club told them not to, they all refused every interviews. This caused the keen media people to
think that Excellent Era wasn’t as calm as they pretended to be. Under this calm cover, what
were they going to do next?
But right now wasn’t a good time to dig up this information. After a two week break, it would be
the season playoffs. The competition to see who would be the champions of this season would
begin. No matter the situation, these eight teams would undoubtedly be the highlight of the
entire Glory scene.
