Hu Die Lan

Chapter 696 Pain and Happiness

Huang Shaotian said he didn't want to say anything!

The reporters were immediately excited. What a powerful way to express his emotions! Perhaps others needed various words, expressions, and even tears to describe how sad, difficult, and disappointed they were, but Huang Shaotian only needed the sentence, "I don't want to say anything."

This was truly "everything is contained in silence." Many reporters had already decided that tomorrow's report would focus on Huang Shaotian's statement. Yes, even Huang Shaotian was defeated to the point of speechlessness. Need it be said how disappointed and resentful Blue Rain was about this defeat?

And the stronger Blue Rain's emotions were, the more powerful this victory of Samsara seemed.

The first time in eight seasons that the finals ended prematurely. Yes, many people might be disappointed with this result, but for the reporters writing the news afterwards, it was a very good topic. However, although the topic was good, there was relatively little substance because the game ended too quickly, so it was necessary to dig deeper into the players' inner worlds after the victory or defeat.

But in any case, the focus should always be on the champion, Samsara. No matter how Blue Rain reacted at this time, it would be used to highlight Samsara's power.

Of course, there might be some reporters who supported Blue Rain and wrote some heartfelt news articles sympathizing with them, but even if these articles were selected, they would probably only be in some inconspicuous corner of the report.

This is professional competition.

All the glory will only be concentrated on the final winner. Second place? Runner-up? It sounds like a very good result, and it also shows their strength to a certain extent. However, this is never regarded as an honor. On the contrary, because of the contrast with the champion's victory, the brand of loser on the second place will be clearer.

Hundred Blossoms team is the best example. They lost in the finals three times. Does anyone pay attention to the fact that Hundred Blossoms was actually the second strongest team in three seasons, surpassing several powerhouses in terms of record? No. Three years as runner-up is more often mentioned as a joke. They are the most pitiful victims under the champion's halo. They seem even more failed than those soy sauce teams that muddled through a season and neither got eliminated nor entered the playoffs.

Professional competition is so cruel. No wonder the media reporters are so snobbish, and no wonder they approach the Blue Rain team with a certain degree of "ill intentions."

However, after Yu Wenzhou took all the responsibility on himself, and Huang Shaotian said, "I don't want to say anything," when the reporters threw a bunch of questions again, wanting to dig deeper, Yu Wenzhou smiled slightly and said, "Shaotian doesn't want to say anything, what else can we say?"

This...

While all the reporters were stunned, the Blue Rain players who attended the press conference had already stood up. Under the leadership of their captain, they silently left the interview stage and disappeared into the player tunnel...

The reporters' minds were filled with various thoughts for a while, and they quickly came back to their senses and immediately rushed towards today's protagonist with the speed of a cheetah, with long guns and short cannons: the new champion, Samsara.

The final battle was on the road. After participating in the necessary activities, the Samsara team only had a small-scale celebration in private. When they returned to City S, their home field, the next day, the club had already arranged a grand celebration. Thousands of fans gathered in the club's stadium to welcome the victorious heroes.

Champagne, flowers...

This day was extremely happy for the Samsara team and their fans.

Their captain, ace player Zhou Zekai, finally completed his personal coronation after winning the championship. Regular season, playoffs, and even the finals, Zhou Zekai's performance absolutely deserved all the praise he received.

In the eyes of fans, he is omnipotent except for healing.

In the eyes of his teammates, he is stable, reliable, and invincible.

In the eyes of the league and sponsors, he is currently the most luxurious cash cow. He is extremely popular, has an outstanding appearance, but is too shy and doesn't like to talk. But that doesn't matter. If he doesn't like to talk, he doesn't have to talk. There are plenty of ways to package him. Just a few posters of Zhou Zekai's appearance are enough to make fans scream.

Whether in terms of competitive value or commercial value, Zhou Zekai has undoubtedly reached a peak that no one has ever reached before him.

Ye Qiu's achievements are the peak that no one in the competitive circle has ever surpassed, but his commercial value has always been zero. Although other great players who have won championships do not resist commercialism as much as Ye Qiu, no one has ever reached Zhou Zekai's height in this regard.

The title of Number One in the League is well deserved from today onwards. This whole summer, Samsara and Zhou Zekai will inevitably be sought after by countless people...

And what about the online game circle, which is most closely related to the professional circle? It had already exploded on the night the champion was decided. But this time, it was no longer a world war, but a head-on collision between Samsara and Blue Rain. From this moment on, other guilds and other fans watched from the sidelines as if they were watching a show. Although some fans couldn't stand it and chose to stand on one side in the head-on collision between the two, the guild clubs would not let themselves be involved in this kind of irrelevant struggle at this time. With the final championship decided, no one cares about the gains and losses in the elimination rounds before the playoffs anymore. Conflicts and disputes are all concentrated on the two teams in the final finals, and other club guilds are happy to watch.

It is impossible to find out whether the outbreak of the war was a continuation of the previous events or a new dispute. However, it is certainly very relevant that the Samsara team launched a strong attack and directly defeated the Blue Rain team in the individual competition.

In terms of troop deployment, Samsara is indeed strong. But the Samsara team's style is like their ace Zhou Zekai. Although they are strong on the field, they are extremely low-key off the field. It is impossible for them to make any strong and overwhelming remarks to the Blue Rain team off the field. They still use the same old lines, such as "The opponent performed better, but we were more outstanding." This is also the style of most professional teams: don't be arrogant in victory, and don't be discouraged in defeat!

As for the Blue Rain team, no matter what emotions they have about Samsara's victory, they will certainly be very respectful on the surface and will never speak ill of them. This is also their team's style.

However, the team is the team, and the fans are the fans.

The team is a whole. They are united, friendly, and share the same goals. But the fans are not. There are too many of them. Even if they like the same team, it means that these people have something in common to some extent, but with so many people, it is absurd to say that they all have the same personalities.

So, as soon as the result of the competition came out, many people couldn't sit still.

On the Samsara side, there were naturally many people who were proud and arrogant because they had ended the game prematurely for the first time in eight years. On the Blue Rain side, there would certainly be no shortage of people who were making trouble out of nothing because they were suffocated by the loss...

The competition on the field is over, but the fighting in the online game has just begun. With these individuals, the war is easily stirred up. Although there are some fans who are as rational as the team players, who cares about you at this time? What's more, looking at those guys who say that Samsara is the only one in the world and that Blue Rain is a ruined household because they ended the game prematurely, even rational people will not feel happy, right?

The two teams' fans finally started fighting. The two clubs' guilds had to get involved painfully. If they let it go, it would cause their own fans to turn against each other and vent their anger on themselves, which would be tangled.

Of course, the two clubs can't be idle at this time. Caring for their fans, they also repeatedly called on everyone to be rational and face the victory or defeat maturely. This is a professional competition. But it's useless. After all, the club's speech can't boost other people's morale and destroy its own prestige, right? Could the Samsara club say: Yes! Blue Rain is a weakling, we shouldn't be like them. The Blue Rain club can't say: Damn it! Samsara is a grandson. They stole our victory, but we can't be as unreasonable as a grandson.

So in the end, the official statements from both sides are still saying that there are always wins and losses in the game, and that the opponent deserves respect... Damn, every team has been babbling these words after winning or losing a season. Everyone is tired of hearing them. It's useless at all at this time. Even if there are some sincere speeches that can move some people, they can't persuade everyone after all. This war can't be extinguished. This phenomenon has actually happened after every finals in the past few years, but it is more intense this year. The reason is of course because Samsara is the new champion and ended the game prematurely.

Of course, it's very exciting to win the championship for the first time, and it's so domineering to win, anyone would have to be proud of it!

In the final analysis, it is because the Glory e-sports circle has its own particularity. The competition based on online games just provides a place for the vast number of fans to vent their emotions.

If it were other projects, after the victory or defeat, the fans would just argue with each other. Occasionally there would be some conflicts, but they would be of a smaller nature. Even if they wanted to gather people to make trouble, it would be difficult to organize them in various places, right? What's more, there are other public regulatory channels.

But it's awesome in Glory. God's Domain directly binds all Glory fans in the same world, and two groups of fans directly gather here to clash. In this unconstrained world, the killing is so fierce. You can't call the police even if your whole body of equipment is exposed, right?

The club guild will definitely be damaged by this kind of fighting. Samsara is okay. After all, they have a championship. They can just consider it as spending money for the championship, which is both painful and happy. Blue Rain is tragic. They didn't get the championship, and they have to pay for the fans' unhappiness here. Guild Leader Chun Yi Lao is crying with tears: Who did I offend?
