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

After interviewing Li Luo, Tianyun handed the microphone to Ye Lan and spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Ye Lan, is this your first time becoming a professional player and participating in a formal professional competition?"

Ye Lan nodded. "That's right."

Tianyun exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Many professional players never participate in a tournament of this level, the Spring Split Finals, in their entire careers. You debuted at your peak. Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans and fellow players?"

"Uh... I don't think it's that difficult. After all, our strength is there. If I want to, the championship will be ours!"

"Ah~"

A murmur of disapproval rippled through the audience; Ye Lan's words were far too arrogant.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand; every championship team treads upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even though Ye Lan was still putting on airs, the members of the Wolf Team cast admiring glances at her.

Because Ye Lan didn't just say "I," she said "we!"

The Wolves, who were at the bottom of the qualifying rounds, should now show their fighting spirit after filling the gap in their jungler position!

Tianyun was also taken aback by Ye Lan's boastful words. After a slight pause, he put on a professional smile again and continued to ask:

"As a newcomer to the profession, is there anything you would like to say to your seniors?"

Ye Lan's lips curled into a carefree smile, "There is a sequence to learning!"

This statement undoubtedly brought the atmosphere at the scene to a climax.

Ye Lan's words clearly implied that although she was a newcomer, her skills were far superior to those of veteran professional players.

Many viewers and fans who support other teams cast disdainful glances at them.

Admittedly, Ye Lan's abilities on paper are quite impressive.

However, all of his achievements so far have come from ordinary matches, none of which are from professional tournaments.

In most people's eyes, professional esports events are equivalent to official certification.

This is why many streamers are incredibly skilled, yet no one acknowledges it.

Since you're so good, why don't you go pro and make a name for yourself instead of staying in your rented room as an unknown streamer?

Ye Lan's two short sentences did indeed attract a lot of hatred, but as the owner of a startup, the more attention he received, the better.

Therefore, a moderate degree of self-expression is necessary.

Moreover, Ye Lan is not a frontline fighter in the lung fog; arrogance requires resources, and he only has his master's backup hidden energy.

Ye Lan does indeed possess the strength to match his abilities, so in the eyes of those who know him, his behavior suggests a flamboyant personality rather than an annoying arrogance.

If you have the ability, it's okay for you to be a little arrogant; it's essentially a privilege that everyone gives to the strong.

But if you have no ability but are still incredibly arrogant, then you're just a complete idiot.

A normal team interview should end in five minutes.

However, due to a minor incident, the Wolves' time was doubled.

As the Wolves left, the members of Wuxi JXG also came onto the stage, and sparse applause immediately rang out in the venue.

It's not that Wuxi JXG's fans aren't coordinated enough, but rather that their numbers are simply too small.

There are four teams competing today: Chongqing Wolves, Wuxi JXG, Guangzhou TTG, and Shanghai EDG.

Wuxi JXG is a mid-to-lower tier team with a small fan base.

The audience at the scene were mostly fans of the other three teams; it was quite remarkable that one out of ten people was a fan of Wuxi JXG.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the applause to be minimal.

Tianyun exchanged a few pleasantries with the team coach Rongxing before beginning the formal questioning.

Tianyun: "During the qualifying rounds, you defeated the Wolves twice, but now the Wolves have changed their team members. Do you still have the confidence to defeat them again?"

Rongxing answered without hesitation, "Of course."

Tianyun raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh, so confident? The Wolf Team just said they wanted to avenge their defeat and get revenge."

Rong Xing understood the principle of not losing face even if you lose the game, and smiled contemptuously, "Anyone can say tough words before the game, but they'll show their true colors during the match."

Rongxing's words stirred up the emotions of Wolves fans.

Suddenly, countless middle fingers appeared in the audience.

Rong Xing glanced at them, his mood remaining largely unchanged.

Tianyun was also surprised by Rongxing's answer and was dumbfounded.

After all, teams with lower-middle-level strength rarely make boastful statements before a match; they usually consider "winning one game is a success" as their mantra.

Rongxing, however, is clearly going against the grain of the original plan.

Tianyun asked curiously, "The coach is so confident, could he have some secret weapon?"

Rong Xing raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Of course!"

"Would you mind telling me?" Tianyun asked again, still curious.

Rongxing thought for a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to say it, so he cleared his throat and spoke.

"As a streamer, Ye Lan's playing style and thinking differ from those of traditional professional players. Do you agree with this?"

Rongxing stared at Tianyun, who nodded silently.

Most professional players go through the youth training stage.

The purpose of youth training is to impart theoretical knowledge and make players' experience more concrete.

Ye Lan didn't go through the youth training process, so his gameplay still reflects his livestreaming style.

Rong Xing continued, "I've done a thorough investigation. Ye Lan joined the Chongqing Wolves team three days before the Spring Split group stage. Before that, the group hadn't even played together."

"Therefore, I firmly believe that their teamwork is definitely not smooth enough and is far from as strong as their paper strength suggests."

After hearing Rongxing's words, the audience members showed surprise on their faces, and the Wolves fans looked worried.

Because what Rongxing said does make sense.

If the competition is only based on paper strength, then there's no need for a competition at all; the champion can just be predetermined and receive the prize.

The purpose of the competition is to verify and test whether everyone can translate their theoretical abilities into real skills.

Many professional players' skill is just hype; they don't actually have many achievements to prove it.

A typical example of a player whose fame exceeds their actual ability.

"Damn it, I was just looking down on Wuxi JXG and thought they were doomed, but now I'm starting to worry about Wolves."

"What the coach said makes sense. Ye Lan just joined the Wolves and hasn't had any time to integrate with the team. Plus, he's a former broadcaster, so there are just too many uncertainties."

"I'm really worried about Wolves, they won't be eliminated in the first round."

"If Wolves are eliminated in this round, I feel that Ye Lan will become the outlet for fans' emotions. I hope they can get through this safely."

.......

Wolves fans were on tenterhooks.
