Chapter 2875 The All-Round Ends, We Are the Champions!

Ye Xiu said he would contact other teams, and he actually started doing so. After all, he's considered a veteran in the esports industry now, but he's still quite young in terms of age.

How could Ye Xiu not want to win a championship in this sudden Club World Championship?

However, Ye Xiu is a lazy person, so the first person he contacted was Han Wenqing from the Tyranny team, who happened to be ranked fifth in this league and had no chance to participate.

He felt that instead of negotiating with each team individually, it would be better to poach one team directly, as this would allow for better teamwork.
Han Wenqing had just received the news as well. When he received Ye Qiu's call, he immediately understood what Ye Xiu wanted to do, and he asked with a smile.

"Ye Xiu, are you here to invite me to join Team Happy? Or should I forget it? I appreciate your kindness, but I'm too old. Let's leave this opportunity to the younger generation."

Upon hearing Han Wenqing's words, Ye Xiu immediately changed his approach. He coughed lightly and said seductively, "Old Han, I knew you didn't want to transfer for this competition, but we are actually prepared to offer you short-term contracts."

In other words, after this competition, you can return to the Tyranny team. We still want the league to be competitive, and we don't intend to completely poach your Tyranny team.

Han Wenqing was surprised that Happy would make such a generous concession. He immediately realized that Ye Xiu had fought for it and said gratefully, "Old Ye, we're already on vacation anyway. If you can really sign a short-term contract, then I don't mind participating."

Seeing that Han Wenqing agreed, Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Then just give me a list of names from your club that are willing to come. I won't contact any other teams. I know Tiny Herb and the others are definitely poaching players too."

Han Wenqing could hardly believe his ears and said in astonishment, "No way? You don't want to take this opportunity to criticize more people? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Next year, they definitely won't allow poaching people like this on the spot."

Seeing that Han Wenqing still didn't understand, Ye Xiu said helplessly, "We are already the champions. If we ruin the competition for other teams, the league will have no competitiveness, and then Glory might die out."

Han Wenqing understood and said approvingly, "Ye Xiu, you are still as confident as you always have been. You are right about one thing: you do have the strength."

Especially your boss, Wang Yue, his swordsmanship is phenomenal. With him around, it's very difficult for other teams to cut through your backline.

Ye Xiu said smugly, "Alright, Lao Han, I don't need your praise. Once you're ready, just give me a list of names so I can tell our leader that for a while, my boss will also be your boss."

Han Wenqing stopped dawdling and called Zhang Xinjie over after hanging up the phone.

Zhang Xinjie was initially opposed, but after hearing Han Wenqing's explanation, he couldn't help but smile and say, "That's a good idea. Old Ye always has to consider the development of the alliance, which is quite difficult."

Han Wenqing sighed as he thought about when the team was first established, and said, "Old Ye started his professional career right when the league was just starting out. Their relationship is extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by Tao Xuan."

Fortunately, we've all found good bosses now, they're really nice, and they've allowed us to sign short-term contracts to experience the Club World Championship!

Zhang Xinjie knew that it would be foolish not to poach talent at this point, but Wang Yue really had no plans to poach anyone, which made him admire him!

The two chatted and discussed, and the temporary rentals for Happy were finalized. There were a total of seven people, including all of their team's main players.

After looking at all the names, Zhang Xinjie said uncertainly, "Do you think Old Ye will refuse to send out so many names?"

Han Wenqing shook his head and said, "It's better if you don't refuse. If you do refuse, then let them kick me out, and you can go."

Zhang Xinjie knew his captain's personality, so he didn't try to persuade him any further, and soon their spot was given to Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu was speechless after seeing the list. He tossed the list to Wang Yue and said helplessly, "Boss, Lao Han has sent all of their team's main players over. Do you think this is okay?"

Wang Yue glanced at it briefly and casually said, "Ye Xiu, you need to consider how to adjust the team so that we can be invincible after adding them."

You need to understand that other teams are currently buying players, trying to exploit this loophole.

Don't think that adding seven or eight of them makes us too many people.

I guarantee you, because this is the first Club World Championship, there's no limit to the number of players a team can have; some clubs will be giving out dozens of players!

Hearing Wang Yue speak so confidently, Ye Xiu thought about it carefully and realized that it might actually be true. After all, it didn't violate the rules. People in China might feel a little ashamed, but people abroad certainly wouldn't care.

Ye Xiu pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Actually, our team is perfect. With you disrupting the formation, I'll cut through the backline, Mu Cheng will be responsible for damage output, and the others will provide support from the sidelines. A five-person team fight is definitely no problem. Any of them can do it!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yue said after seeing Ye Xiu's words, "In that case, I'll go find the boss of Tyranny."

In team fights, although my character has strong survivability, I may still be targeted by multiple enemies. Han Wenqing's role is similar to mine, so I can let him be my substitute.

And if Zhang Xinjie could be Lao Fang's substitute, that arrangement would be perfect.

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he immediately called the owner of Tyranny and discussed the loan.

The boss of Tyranny knew that Wang Yue was simply helping out, and he was very happy. He agreed to do Wang Yue a favor, and that's how the cooperation was reached.

The joint loan agreement between Team Happy and Team Tyranny was filed in the league, causing a sensation in the Glory community!
The three teams, Samsara, Blue Rain, and Tiny Herb, were initially a little embarrassed, but after seeing the registration, they immediately started vying for players.

Huang Shaotian immediately called Ye Xiu, and as soon as the call connected, he started nagging, "Old Ye, you're such a scoundrel! You found some helpers and they emptied out the entire Tyranny!"

Ye Xiu held the phone a little further away and said casually, "Didn't I leave you a few?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Shaotian roared angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? You've taken all the top players from the Tyranny team, leaving us only with the substitutes. Do you think we don't have any substitutes?"

Ye Xiu, however, was not intimidated at all. Instead, he said with great dissatisfaction, "Who told you to be so greedy? I bet you guys wanted to take advantage of the World Championship to buy him away."

"Tell me, who have you contacted? Who is willing to go with you?"

Huang Shaotian was surprised that Ye Xiu had seen through him so easily, and immediately said with dissatisfaction, "You guys who play tactics are really dirty-minded. You can even guess such deep things. This is too no fun. There's no fairness in the game anymore?"

Ye Xiu thought of what Wang Yue had said and said irritably, "We've already toned it down. Wait until we get to the World Championship, and you'll see what arrogance really means."

Huang Shaotian was still unaware of what was going on. He said with great dissatisfaction, "Don't try to fool me or change the subject. I'm telling you, Lao Ye, you didn't ask me for help. What's the use of asking Han Wenqing? Even though he's the King of Fighters, I'm still the Sword Saint. He's too old for that."

What's there to be jealous of? Ye Xiu rubbed his temples helplessly and said, "How about I ask Yu Wenzhou? See if he's willing to sell you out."

After hearing this, Huang Shaotian quickly looked around before nervously saying, "Old Ye, scare me with Old Yu won't work. You have to treat me to a meal."

After saying that, he looked around nervously, genuinely worried that Yu Wenzhou might suddenly appear.

Ye Xiu said with a smile, "Come anytime, I'll treat you anytime. Our food here is pretty good too."

He was referring to the team's cafeteria, but Huang Shaotian thought it was a restaurant outside and immediately hung up the phone with a big smile.

The Club World Championship was held as scheduled, with the first venue being Saudi Arabia. After arriving in Saudi Arabia, everyone had to sign in and have their photo taken.

Looking at the hundreds of people in the crowd, Huang Shaotian asked, somewhat bewildered, "Are they several teams from the same country? Weren't there supposed to be relatively few people from abroad?"

Yu Wenzhou pushed up his glasses and said speechlessly, "Look at the team uniforms they're wearing. They're obviously from the same team. Can't you be a little more rational?"

Huang Shaotian was speechless after being rebuked, but he didn't dare to argue back, so he immediately went to find Ye Xiu.

As soon as Ye Xiu saw Huang Shaotian, he quickly pretended not to see him and walked inside. Huang Shaotian immediately followed and asked with great dissatisfaction, "Old Ye, I didn't expect you to be right. There are more than a hundred of these foreigners. If each team member has to pay, their boss will go bankrupt."

Ye Xiu said with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. This was a loophole from the first year, and it'll probably only be there for this year. It won't happen again in the future."

I suspect Glory headquarters is also furious, and they'll likely favor us during the competition.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shaotian immediately exclaimed excitedly, "They're biased towards us! Are they planning to interfere in the competition? That's probably not going to be easy to do. If they were to interfere in Glory, it would be very easy to spot."

Chen Guo, who was listening nearby, said irritably, "Ye Xiu, your friend doesn't seem to be very smart. Taking care of us should mean arranging the best accommodations for us. For example, if there are 20 people in each team, arrange ten rooms for us."

They only provide ten houses for a team of 100 people!
For example, regarding training equipment, he only provided us with a sufficient amount, while other teams received the same amount. Wouldn't you say that's favoritism?

Upon hearing this, Huang Shaotian said somewhat uncertainly, "Saudi Arabia is so rich, they shouldn't do this, right? It would seem so petty!"

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "Even if you're rich, you don't want to be treated like a fool!"

Huang Shaotian thought it made sense, but he still felt that a rich man shouldn't be stingy. However, after he arrived at the hotel, he realized that what Wang Yue and the others said was true.

However, Saudi Arabia's proposal was more ambitious than what Wang Yue and his group had suggested: one floor for each competition zone, with more than forty rooms on each floor.

Each floor's activity room is equipped with more than forty computers, enough for each of the four teams to have ten computers, with a few extra to spare.

If two people share a room, the entire floor can accommodate more than 90 people, but the four teams that slid down, along with their support staff, only numbered about 80. Therefore, some people even had rooms for one person each.

The teams on the other floors are different. Although they also come from the same region with four teams, each team has more than 100 people, making more than 400 people crammed into these 50-plus rooms.

Eight people have to live in one room, so even if someone sleeps on a makeshift bed on the floor, they still can't get a good rest.

Fortunately, each team is financially well-off. Since they've brought their people here, they have the money to rent other places, so it's not a big deal.

The problem is that there aren't enough computers available during training, which frustrates them a lot.

And during the competition, something even more frustrating happened to them.

Because they came from different teams during the group stage, their teamwork was not smooth enough, and the four teams from the China region took first place in the group stage.

The fact that the top team in the group stage directly advanced to the quarterfinals caused a huge sensation.

Of the remaining eight spots, two were taken by South Korean teams, one by a Vietnamese team, and only one by a German team.

Under these circumstances, the Chinese team unsurprisingly advanced to the semifinals, and then to the finals.

The opponents in the finals are Team Blue Rain and Team Happy, while the remaining two will compete for third and fourth place respectively.

In the end, Team Happy unsurprisingly won the championship. Team Blue Rain completely copied Team Happy's lineup and even their tactics, yet they still managed to take second place.

By this time, the foreign teams that had exploited the loopholes were filled with regret.

They wanted to gather the best players in the country and win the first Club World Cup, but they didn't expect their teamwork to be so poor. Instead, they were better off like the Chinese team, where one team takes the lead and the other team helps them.

So their large group of several hundred people became a joke and even made headlines.

However, this has also greatly increased the attention given to esports leagues, and other esports leagues have begun to apply to host the World Club Championship.

Saudi Arabia had long intended to build itself into an esports capital, so it decisively screened applications from various esports games, selecting Honor of Kings and League of Legends, along with more than a dozen other games. Taking advantage of the popularity of the Honor of Kings World Championship, it also promoted other esports games.

And you know what? This move attracted esports enthusiasts from all over the world to this place, where they witnessed various game competitions.

In just over two months of hosting the esports league, Saudi Arabia's tourism revenue tripled. Although this amount of money is nothing to Saudi Arabia, it has given hope to major companies!

Thus began a new round of expansion for esports leagues.

First, there's the Glory League, which was originally very popular, but the total number of teams in the league and the second-tier league was only a few dozen.

But things are different now. All the second-tier leagues have received a lot of investment, which has given them money to upgrade equipment and select players.

At the same time, even the leagues in major cities have seen increased investment, clearly aiming to break into the second-tier leagues.

Upon seeing this situation, Glory headquarters immediately made a decision to expand the number of teams in the Glory League!

Teams in the second division can challenge the bottom three teams in the first division. If they win two matches, they can directly enter the first division. If they fail, they can only continue to compete in the second division.

Logically speaking, it would be very difficult for teams in the second division to defeat the bottom three teams in the league. However, after the wealthy players poured money into the game, they immediately poached top talents from the second teams of other teams, and even from foreign clubs, to become the core of the teams, making the second division teams very competitive.

Under these circumstances, the Glory esports team China region has expanded to 64 teams, and even the number of teams in the second-tier league has doubled.

However, it's impossible for all 64 teams in the league to play together. Otherwise, if they played each other at home and away, there would probably be a game every two or three days.

Therefore, the league was officially divided into upper and lower brackets.

After the 32 teams in the upper and lower divisions are ranked by points, the bottom 16 teams will compete against the top 16 teams in the lower division, and the winners will advance to the playoffs.

Other countries' Glory Leagues have also expanded in the same way, making Glory a competitive game for almost everyone.

In response to this situation, some have called for esports leagues to be included in the Olympics and state games.

However, the review process was extremely slow, so Honor headquarters couldn't wait and decided to hold the first Honor eSports World Cup.

In the expanded eleventh tournament, suitable individuals will be selected based on their records and individual performance to represent each country in the world championship.

……

When Fang Shiqian heard the news, he originally wanted to talk to Wang Yue about retiring, but coincidentally, Wang Yue came with Ye Qiu.

Faced with this situation, Wang Yue did not hesitate to pass on the notification from the alliance headquarters to them again.

Fang Shiqian found the scene somewhat familiar and asked in bewilderment, "Boss, what is this? You don't think there's anything else that can tempt us to continue playing in the league, do you? Lao Ye and I have no glory left."

Ye Xiu didn't finish his sentence. He looked at the notice, then said in surprise,

"World Championships? And representing the country? This hasty selection process raises questions about whether the General Administration of Sport will approve it."

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "Whether you agree or not, you'll find out soon enough."

Fang Shiqian was still a little confused, not knowing what Wang Yue was talking about, but Ye Xiu immediately realized something and took out his phone to take a look.

As a result, Fang Shiqian discovered that his phone, which was on silent mode, already had dozens of missed calls. He quickly apologized and picked up the phone to answer them.

When Ye Xiu returned and saw Fang Shiqian's performance, he realized that Fang Shiqian had also been called out. He was overjoyed and immediately said with emotion, "It seems that I will have to postpone my retirement again. I have become the captain of the first Glory World Cup."

Fang Shiqian was completely dumbfounded. How come Ye Xiu became the captain as soon as he saw the announcement?

He looked at Wang Yue with great frustration and asked, "Is the boss really that hasty? The captain just made this decision like that?"

Wang Yue said helplessly, "Alright, if Ye Xiu is the captain, we can save a lot of trouble. You just need to strive for the healer position and be among the top three in the league."

This time, besides Ye Xiu, the Glory China Alliance will select the top three from each profession, and then Ye Xiu will be free to choose the players to form the team for the first league!

I'm telling you, in the end each class can only take one person with them. Because Ye Qiu is a solo player, our alliance has one extra person.

Fang Shiqian was somewhat discouraged after hearing this. Although he thought he was good, there were many talented new healers in the league. But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent the country, so he forced himself to participate in training, preparing to maintain his best condition and perform well in this league.

However, because of the advance announcement of this World Cup, every team and every player is working hard to win this honor.

Therefore, everyone was incredibly motivated, making this league extremely brutal, with each match dragging on for the longest possible time.

This situation is very unfavorable for the veteran players, and Fang Shiqian and Han Wenqing's performance has begun to decline significantly.

Meanwhile, Tang Rou's strength on Team Happy is also getting stronger and stronger. She is now very close to Ye Xiu. It seems that Ye Xiu can surpass her if he dares to take one more step back.

As for Ye Qiu, although his condition has improved somewhat, he is still just like an ordinary veteran.

It is precisely because of this that four members of Team Happy were selected in this selection: Su Mucheng, Wang Yue, Ye Xiu, and Tang Rou!
No one disagreed with this point. After all, given the influence of the Club World Championship and the fact that Ye Xiu was the captain, he naturally had to lead the team based on what he was most familiar with, and then add the elites from other teams.

Other elite players from the veteran teams were also selected. As for the new teams, their strength was either still somewhat lacking, or some of their players were originally foreign nationals and could not represent China at all.

Therefore, as members of the two-time champion Team Happy, the league took good care of them and gave them four spots.

Seeing that four of his team members were World Cup players, Wang Yue simply waved his hand and invited the entire team to participate in the World Championship.

Having learned from their experience at the first Club World Cup, Honor of Kings officially chose Beijing as the host city after a vote.

After Wang Yue sent Chen Guo and the club's people to Beijing, he entered the training room with the other participating players!
And so their journey began!

"Ding! The host has met the conditions for returning to the Salty Fish Film and Television System!"

"Beep, the transmigration system is activating!"
