King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Three days later, the KPL Spring Season officially kicked off, and the popularity of Honor of Kings was enormous, making the entire city of Shanghai lively.

However, because Ye Lan's Chongqing Wolves team is in Group C, they will have to wait three more days before they can play.

Even though it's rest time, we can't slack off.

At noon, Li Luo called over all the members of the Wolves team, including Ye Lan and Xiao Pang. The seven of them huddled in the e-sports hotel and watched the live broadcast of the game using a projector.

"Wow, that Yao girl who just passed by was so cute, she's adorable!"

"I actually prefer that tanky Luna build; it's too big, it feels like a ball bigger than my head."

"The Luna cosplayer just now had someone behind her who looked exactly like Sister Yu from Northeast China. Her simple clothes were covered in mud, so she must have just come back from working in the fields. She took off her size 47 brown stockings and put them on the kang (a heated brick bed). Just thinking about it makes me feel intoxicated."

.......

Ye Lan frowned as he heard the absurd remarks. Although he knew these people were just making jokes, he was afraid that there might be a real person among them.

Li Luo coughed twice, putting his hand to his mouth. "Ahem, let's not say anything more perverted. Let's watch the game first."

Since only one team can advance from each group, and based on the points ranking in the knockout stage, Beijing WB, ranked third, is the most likely team to advance.

Therefore, the main research target of the Wolf team is the matches of the Beijing WB team.

As expected, Beijing WB advanced to the next round with a score of 3:1, with two dominant games that thrilled the audience.

After the match, Ye Lan listened to Li Luo's team fight analysis and felt that it had a bit of an hindsight bias.

Admittedly, both Beijing WB and the other team made many mistakes and failed to handle details well in team fights.

But that's the charm of team competition!

There are as many Hamlets as there are people.

Five people, and five different ideas.

Even with prior tactical arrangements, unexpected events are bound to occur when the fighting actually begins.

For example, the opponent's positioning and the advantage or disadvantage of the minion waves can all affect a professional player's thinking and judgment.

There's a saying among professional coaches in China: "When fighting a team, check the minion waves first."

The original meaning of this sentence is actually a safety net. Even if a major mistake occurs in a team fight, resulting in the team being wiped out, the enemy team will not be able to end the game in one fell swoop if they don't have minions.

As long as the game continues, there is still hope for a comeback!

Therefore, in professional matches, perfect team fights without any mistakes are extremely rare. Teammates can only try to reduce the probability of mistakes as much as possible through continuous practice and coordination.

Two or three small mistakes are always better than one big mistake.

The following day, Wuhan eStar, who were second in the standings, successfully defeated Shanghai RNG in three swift and dominant games. Even the commentators remarked that they could leave work early that day.

Fortunately, the second match went the full five games, which brought the match length back up.

After watching the match, Li Luo stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Why does Wuhan eStar seem to be on steroids? They're so fierce!"

Actually, he had this feeling when he watched the Beijing WB game yesterday.

Compared to the play-in stage, both teams have become much more aggressive in their playstyle, and their mistakes in team fights have decreased.

On the third day of the Spring Split Finals, Ye Lan didn't even go back to give Lin Xueyao a foot massage last night; instead, she stayed overnight at the e-sports hotel.

I got up early, threw off the covers, rubbed my eyes, and started washing my face and brushing my teeth.

The other people in the hotel were still fast asleep, their muffled snores rising and falling like the croaking of frogs in summer.

After Ye Lan finished washing up, the other members also woke up one by one, twitching on the bed as if possessed by zombies, struggling to get up.

Just then, Li Luo came to wake everyone up, "Get up quickly, we'll meet downstairs at the hotel in half an hour."

He then handed a box to Ye Lan, saying, "Professional matches emphasize uniformity and teamwork. This is the Wolves' team uniform, designed to your size. Put it on now."

"No problem." Ye Lan nodded and took the box.

He took off his coat, revealing a pure white T-shirt underneath. Then, he opened the box that Li Luo had brought, and the pure white team uniform immediately came into view, with many sponsor logos and icons painted on the chest and shoulders.

The clothes fit her perfectly, and Ye Lan had a great figure. With her bangs hanging down, she really had the cool vibe of a gaming god.

The Wolves members, who were just getting up, became even more grumpy when they saw their handsome teammate, feeling as sour as lemons.

Why does Ye Lan look so handsome in the same clothes, but I can't achieve the same effect?

This phenomenon is actually normal. For example, some people wearing military overcoats are warlords, while others can be identified at a glance as puppet soldiers.

Ye Lan stood in front of the full-length mirror in his team uniform, looking at the handsome guy in the mirror. He couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was missing.

But he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off. Let us guys show off a bit too." Fly patted Ye Lan on the shoulder, revealing a warm smile, gesturing for him to make room.

Ye Lan nodded, picked up her coat, and prepared to transfer the items in her pockets into her team uniform jacket.

He had quite a few things in his pockets, including a keychain with more than a dozen keys attached to it, such as office keys, rental keys, shop keys, car keys, and so on.

The keychain pendant features the Xueyao Milk Tea logo, a cute Q-version animal paired with cursive lettering, which is very adorable. It was specially made by Ye Lan, and every employee at the Xueyao Milk Tea shop has one.

These small items are inexpensive, but they can greatly enhance team cohesion.

Ye Lan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he immediately realized what he was missing.

I quickly picked up the phone and sent a message to the production team leader...

Just then, Li Luo's voice came from outside the door, "Get dressed and come downstairs to assemble."

Ye Lan and the others did not dare to delay. As soon as they finished tidying up, they left the room and took the elevator downstairs.

A large bus had been waiting for some time downstairs at the e-sports hotel.

Li Luo stood beside the car and waved to them.

"Are we going so early? There's still more than an hour before the official match time."

Ye Lan glanced at the time on her phone; it was only a little past 12. There were still about two hours until the official start time of the match, which was scheduled for 2 PM.

Although he had participated in New Year's greeting shows before, those were entertainment events. This was his first time participating in a formal professional event, and he still had a lot to learn about the event process.

After getting into the car, Li Luo began to explain, "When we arrive at the competition venue, I will first have a brief interaction with the fans, and then I will put on some light makeup, so I need to arrive at the venue more than an hour in advance."

Ye Lan nodded silently after hearing this; he had indeed never learned about these things before.
