Chapter 2019 seems to offer a chance, brothers?
At this time, the focus of everyone's discussion was mostly on whether this year's Lanting Preface could be won again.
Objectively speaking...
This year, Baihuacun was absent, and in 2008, Bianliang City once again habitually underperformed.
For the Lanting Preface, which is currently enjoying great popularity, to win the championship again is not without difficulty, but it is not insurmountable either.
But the appeal of the Martial God Altar lies in the fact that you never know what outrageous thing will happen next.
Take Baihuacun, for example, from the previous edition.
After the roster was further strengthened and the team's form returned to its peak.
Almost all the viewers assumed that they would win the previous championship and achieve the first three-peat in the regular season of the Martial God Altar in the entire Fantasy Westward Journey.
But as everyone has seen, that's the result.
The strengthened Baihuacun is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
But in the most important final match, they ran into their old rival, the Lantingxu.
Despite gaining an advantage in the early and mid-game, and even nearly crushing Lantingxu several times.
Ultimately, however, the Lanting Preface succeeded by relying on its rich experience in dealing with pressure and its strong ability to seize opportunities.
After finding a glimmer of hope, they decisively took action and ultimately succeeded in turning the tide for Baihua Village!
of course.
Such a dramatic plot twist is actually quite rare.
However, similar scenarios are constantly emerging in the Martial God Altar.
Therefore, even though many people believe that the chances of winning the Lanting Preface again this year are very high.
But no one dared to give a 100% guarantee.
There's no way around it; we've been proven wrong so many times already.
While everyone was chatting enthusiastically, one after another...
As the time came to 10 a.m. sharp, the first match of the group stage finally began!
I waited patiently outside for a few minutes.
Once the viewing delay is over.
Fang Yun and the other players around him eagerly rushed into the spectator window.
As it was the first match of the group stage.
Without their own team being eliminated.
The vast majority of viewers will prioritize watching matches from their own server.
Fang Yun himself was no exception to this.
He then entered the spectator interface.
After seeing the familiar figures of Taiyang and the others.
Fang Yun leaned back in his chair, picked up his cup, and leisurely began to sip his tea.
This year's Bianliang City still boasts a lineup of 'no thousand'.
But compared to the previous session, which was a mixed bag.
This year, the Suns have finally reunited with their old teammates.
To know.
Although these people never won a championship when they teamed up together.
But as a player who once made it to the All-Star semifinals.
Their strength is absolutely beyond doubt!
Therefore.
Although the players in Bianliang City did not have high expectations for winning this championship.
With these IDs in place, at least we don't need to worry about being eliminated as hastily as last time.
At this moment, the Jinqiu Lake team appeared opposite the five members of the Sun team.
Jinqiu Lake is definitely a veteran server.
The game launched at the end of 04, half a month earlier than Bianliang City.
Unfortunately, compared to the legendary Bianliang City, which boasts countless championship trophies, it is a pity.
This server, which launched half a month earlier than Bianliang City, has a rather lackluster record in the Martial God Altar.
Fang Yun didn't have a deep impression of this server. He only remembered that their best result was runner-up. After that, he didn't know whether the server was merged or they gave up because they were no longer competitive.
Anyway, he never heard anything about this server again after that.
The two sides are currently meeting in the first group stage match of this year's Martial God Tournament.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will face the Bianliang City team led by the Sun.
Jinqiu Lake is likely to suffer a disappointing start to the year.
"Jinqiu Lake...Does anyone know this server?"
"I know, I know. I played for half a month when this server first opened, but I quit as soon as the Bianliang City server opened."
"How should I put it... this district is very old, but its strength is not that great."
"As long as the sun and its crew perform normally, Jinqiu Lake won't cause any major disturbances."
"Come on, I'm completely immune to all the pre-match analyses now. So many times they've hyped it up before the match, but then they all turned out to be terrible!"
"You mean the last one? Our lineup definitely had a lot of problems last time, but this time it's the second team with all the main players, it's completely different, okay?"
"Let's not rush to open the champagne yet, let's see how the players are doing first..."
Fang Yun was very confident that the Sun team would win the Jinqiu Lake tournament and get off to a good start.
But the surrounding audience was not as optimistic as he was.
The feeling of stumbling into the knockout stage last time, only to be kicked to the ground by the opponent in the second round, was just awful.
Although they also know.
The reason they performed so poorly in the last tournament was mainly because they brought in too many substitutes with zero experience.
But when people take the time to watch the game, they don't care whether you're a substitute or a starter.
They praise them when they play well and criticize them when they play poorly, but what about their performance in the previous tournament?
It's a miracle they weren't attacked to death; people were really kind to them.
And it was precisely because of their terrible performance in the previous edition.
So much so that even though the Suns personally led their old teammates to the game this year.
However, people dared not set their expectations too high, lest they be disappointed later.
But soon.
As the competition officially begins.
After exchanging blows for about ten rounds in Bianliang City and Jinqiu Lake.
People's attitudes have finally begun to change.
"Wait... I don't remember Jinqiu Lake being this weak, right? It's only been 14 rounds, and they're already getting crushed by Taiyang and the others?"
"It's not that Jinqiu Lake is weak, it's that the Sun God and his team are too strong!"
"Wow, it's completely transformed!"
"They're back, they're all back! The familiar taste, the familiar rhythm, I told you the lineup couldn't be changed so easily!"
"It's still these old partners who make the best of a performance. What were they even doing last year?!"
"Jinqiu Lake has no chance. Taiyang and the others have all summoned magic pets. They're going to camp the corpse in one fell swoop!"
They watched helplessly as only 14 rounds passed.
The Jinqiu Lake team was on the verge of being swept out of the competition by the Sun's five players' relentless attacks.
Players in Bianliang City who were observing the battle looked as if they had seen a ghost, as if this Bianliang City team was completely unfamiliar to them!
The main difference is compared to the previous season, where the team dragged its feet whether playing against strong or weak opponents.
With all its key players back in this draft, the Suns team has improved in several ways, both in terms of form and teamwork.
I've mentioned this before.
When the strength of both sides is not too different.
Whether or not victory can be won depends heavily on the role played by the commander.
At present, Bianliang City completely outclasses Jinqiu Lake in terms of both overall strength and command adaptability.
Ultimately, they were completely defeated by Bianliang City in just over ten rounds, which doesn't seem so surprising.
Just as Fang Yun had predicted.
After barely managing to hold out for a few more rounds.
Jinqiu Lake ultimately failed to find a way to turn the tide. Under the overwhelming magic of the five magic pets of the Sun team, they fell one by one and were completely swept out of the game!
"it is good!"
"Pretty!"
"That was a great game, very much in the style of our Bianliang City!"
"Listen to me, as long as Brother Cheng doesn't participate in the competition, don't change these guys from the Sun. These guys are a classic case of 'a pile of shit when scattered, but a sky full of stars when gathered,' so we really can't just take them apart!"
"+1! If they keep playing at this pace, whether they can win the championship or not is another matter, but at least they'll give us a good watch."
"Come on, Sun! Give it your all and get five consecutive wins in the group stage!"
"You're clearly making things difficult for me, Mr. Sun..."
The Jinqiu Lake team was swept out of the competition by Bianliang City in less than 20 rounds.
The players in Bianliang City who had been watching from the sidelines for so long finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started giving their thumbs up without hesitation.
This is what Fang Yun often says.
The audience is very real, whether you are too strong or your opponent is too weak.
As long as we can win, everything is negotiable.
Not to mention the opening match.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Suns team is significantly different now that their key players have returned.
And as long as they officially put their efforts into action.
Whether they can win the championship is hard to say, but no matter which team they face, they will be severely injured regardless of the outcome!
Looking around at the spectator area, the atmosphere suddenly became more optimistic.
Fang Yun grinned, but didn't get involved. Instead, he started browsing the matches on other servers.
Unfortunately, after searching around, he discovered that the opening match of the 2008 Lanting Xu tournament had already been completed, even faster than in their Bianliang City.
"Wait... are these two teams going to go all out in the first game?"
It was learned that these two teams won the opening game even faster than the Suns' five-man lineup.
Fang Yun was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but mutter something.
Say something.
Even he, who is best at playing fast-paced games, felt that the Suns' efficiency in this opening game was already very high.
As a result, both 2008 and Lantingxu were outshone, which made Fang Yun wonder if these two teams were 'cheating' by using the trump card of the billion-dollar team and the Ye Ao family in the first game.
But it turns out they didn't do that.
Lantingxu won the match in the 11th round.
After securing a comfortable victory in the opening match with a standard lineup.
Pineapple immediately started spamming the club's group chat. Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone could tell that she was engaging in a war of words with A-Bai from afar.
Ah Bai didn't tolerate him and quickly sent him his record of clearing the opening battle.
8 rounds.
This is the total time it took to win the opening match in 2008.
When they learned that 2008 had won the opening match in just 8 rounds.
Pineapple's first reaction was the same as Fang Yun's; they both thought the other side had played a royal flush at the start.
After carefully examining their starting lineup, it was discovered that there wasn't a single core player from the billion-dollar family in the lineup.
Pineapple could only purse her lips, knowing that she had lost this battle of wits.
But it's okay.
How long it took to win the opening match is actually not important.
The important thing is that both teams won the opening game at lightning speed.
Will they be grouped together later and have a head-to-head match in the group stage?
Unfortunately, this idea ultimately did not come to fruition.
The second round of group stage matches has begun.
After discovering that the two teams still hadn't been matched together.
Ah Bai and Pineapple couldn't care less about chatting in the group anymore; they immediately ran off to analyze their opponents and devise tactics.
Watching Ah Bai and Pineapple, this pair of lively characters who come and go quickly in the group chat.
Fang Yun couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He finally figured it out.
Even without my tacit consent.
These two are bound to clash openly sooner or later.
After all, Pineapple just won the championship in the last edition of the Lanting Preface. If he can win the championship again this year, it will be a good thing for both him and the club.
After Ah Bai's attempt to provoke Pineapple failed and he was humiliated, he will try his best to regain his face in this competition as well.
In other words.
This battle between the two is inevitable, but only without his permission.
This showdown between the club's two top commanders may not happen so soon.
Fang Yun, on the other hand, maintained a cheerful and welcoming attitude throughout the entire process.
When it comes to external affairs, everyone's goals are always aligned.
But internally, it's about ensuring the club's vitality and the employees' competitiveness.
He didn't want to get too involved in these matters; he just hoped things wouldn't go too far.
They ignored the two sworn enemies.
The second round of the group stage has officially begun.
Fang Yun returned to the spectator area to watch the Sun team's second round of matches.
More than ten minutes later.
"What? It's over again?"
"Damn, that was fast! That Fragrant Pavilion was like paper, utterly vulnerable!"
"To be fair, Piaoxiangxie's strength is actually about the same as Jinqiuhu's. And these two teams performed similarly when they faced Taiyanggonggong and his team, so it can be considered a normal performance, right?"
"Like I said before, it's not that the opponents are too weak, it's that the sun and its allies are too strong!"
"Um... why am I suddenly looking forward to Bianliang City's results this year?"
"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning? Optimism is fine, but you must never be blindly optimistic!"
"But it seems like the Sun God and his classmates really have a good chance this year, don't they?"
"Would Baihuacun have another chance, like they did in the last competition? But what was the result?"
"The Sun God and his group are different; at least they won't underestimate their opponents like the Hundred Flowers Village!"
"I'm truly speechless. There are still people who think that Hundred Flowers Village lost to Orchid Pavilion Preface in the last competition simply because they underestimated their opponent..."
The Suns' five players easily defeated their second-round group stage opponent, Piaoxiangxie, in just over ten minutes.
This time, the players' perception of Bianliang City was completely different.
If the first crushing defeat could be attributed to chance...
Then, the second batch of Piaoxiangxie was also packaged up and taken away in the same manner.
This undoubtedly proves one thing—
After being heavily criticized for fielding several underwhelming substitutes in the previous tournament.
The Suns team, reunited with their old teammates, is clearly aiming for higher goals in both attitude and tactical execution!
This inevitably made the players in Bianliang City start to have more thoughts.
The Suns' five-man lineup is definitely strong; otherwise, they wouldn't have made it to the All-Star semifinals.
And as long as they can perform to their original level and adjust their mindset to its best.
So, they really do have a chance to win the championship!
Think of this.
The players in Bianliang City were immediately filled with excitement!
It's true that there are many champions in Bianliang City.
But no one says that if you win a lot of championships, you can stop wanting to win more!
Especially in servers where core players like Bianliang City rarely appear in the regular season, only making a strong showing in the annual All-Star game.
For players on this server.
Seeing your own team win a regular season championship is even harder than winning an All-Star championship!
That's right.
Although it sounds outrageous.
But the reality is, these days it's easier for Bianliang City to win the All-Star championship than the regular season championship...
Fang Yun was aware of this, but he did not intend to make many changes.
