TEAM HAPPY
AVERAGE KILLS PER GAME, DAMAGE TAKEN
Why am I always the last one?
I can't be a burden to Team Happy.
I'll get back to Glory and practice hard.
TEAM HAPPY
Although he's at the bottom of this list, he's at the top of another list.
LATEST BEST SCRAP PICKER LEADERBOARD OF GLORY
Best Scrap Picker Leaderboard.
He spoke less than three words a week.
I have no idea what's going on in his mind.
Let's watch him in the game.
I'm the top scrap picker of Glory.
This kid is lucky.
He got an Orange equipment as soon as he is online.
How lucky.
YOU'VE OBTAINED AN ORANGE-LEVEL SABER
I can't be the last one.
What's going on?
He didn't pick up the equipment after killing him.
Isn't he here to scrap pick?
He'll lose badly sooner or later if he keeps playing like that.
He might be training this way.
But unfortunately, it's the wrong way.
Strike steadily, accurately and mercilessly.
My damage output can't be the weakest.
AVERAGE KILLS PER GAME, DAMAGE TAKEN
What exactly is the problem?
The Ninja who killed our buddy is there.
Don't even think about running away.
I'll show you how good I am.
Are they here to help me?
Well, don't get me wrong.
You guys go ahead.
We came to watch the show.
We won't disturb you.
They are just here to pick up the equipment.
I'm going to get out on my own.
I'll prove to you guys that I can do it.
Mechanic, your attack isn't strong enough.
You can kill him in one shot if you hit harder.
All of you think I'm not strong enough.
Cut off his retreat.
He is good at running away and going offline if he can't defeat his opponents.
I won't run away this time.
I'll stand my ground until the end.
Who fired just now?
It doesn't matter if you lose.
You can train again even if you drop a level.
But your equipment is our team's asset.
It'll be a great loss if they are taken away.
They are with him.
Don't let anyone leave. Get them!
Hey, we're all in this trouble because of you.
You have to take full responsibility.
Go and protect An Wenyi.
I'm leaving our team's most valuable equipment to you.
If you lose them, we stand no chance in the Challengers League.
Copy that.
I'll take full responsibility for the trouble I made.
I'll take back the Ice Crystal Cross.
I did it. I dodged it.
I didn't repeat my last mistake.
Bao Zi, pay attention to your positioning.
You're in the way of Wei Chen's attack.
Boss, am I doing it wrongly?
What should I do then?
Positioning?
Move five steps to your three o'clock.
Consider your teammates' position.
Find a position that assures your damage output
without affecting your teammates.
That's the position you belong in the team.
LORD GRIM, ONE INCH ASH, STEAMED BUN INVASION, SOFT MIST
WINDWARD FORMATION, LITTLE COLD HANDS, DECEPTION
I have my own position too.
He catches on pretty quickly.
Because I'm his captain.
Let's see the result.
Didn't you get back your equipment?
Don't be too greedy.
Who are you?
Right.
During your last match against Team Excellent Era,
I'm the one who killed you.
So,
-just now-- -Cleansing Mist who chased you just now
is me too.
Everyone's acting is pretty good.
Of course.
But Master, you've put a lot of effort into training the new guy.
Master.
Call us if there's another group performance like this.
Good acting, less talking. And we'll bring our own equipment.
Boss, don't I deserve an Oscar award for my acting just now?
Hey, I deserve the award.
Look at me. I'm skillful and a good idol.
You old geezer, you are shameless indeed.
Who's the old geezer you're talking about?
Shame on you.
Everyone has been stuck in the room for training lately.
It has been tough. We should go out and relax.
How about a one-on-one streetball?
-One-on-one? Do you mean basketball? -Go away.
We should give a welcome gift to Team Happy's new member.
Is today's gift not enough?
Good things come in pairs.
But that basketball court seems hard to book.
-It's hard to take it off, right? -You should go.
-Try to book it a week in advance. -Fine, I'll try.
There's an important positioning here. Pay attention to this.
It can amplify health point boost and clear debuffs after each cycle.
I'll give you the coordinates.
The first one is 218,52,521.
The second one is 081,603.
The third one is 192,735.
For these coordinates,
it's best if the three of us can step into them at the same time.
This way, it can increase our movement speed.
Also,
it can increase our movement speed
and also refresh our skills' cooldown for around two seconds.
I've marked the coordinates of their movements.
They are E, B, A, C, and D.
It can increase to 300 percent of its own damage.
It can last for three seconds.
See, it's there.
At this point.
Right, its effective damage is 1,000 now.
The movement speed is 500. It's a bit slow.
Won't the damage be insufficient?
The health point boost will increase after every cycle.
At this coordinate. Look.
Hey, stop wandering around. I'm getting dizzy.
Sit and watch together with us.
Two o'clock.
I've booked the basketball court.
Hey, are you mute?
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
What's the time now?
It's almost two o'clock. Let's go.
-Let's go! -Come on.
Considering the height, jumping ability,
and other comprehensive qualities,
I think...
Captain is more likely to bring us to victory.
Hey.
You can't team up like this.
Well,
let me explain the rules to you.
-The rules are-- -We're just playing casually.
We don't need so many rules.
-Right. -Fine.
Go ahead and play then.
Come on, move.
Shooting a basketball is as easy as throwing a brick.
It's not hard at all.
Let me show you.
Watch out, Tang Rou!
Holy cow.
That's a nice...
Hey.
What do you guys mean by this?
I think winning against him by 50 to 0 isn't a problem at all.
This grouping is not according to the rules.
"We're just playing casually.
We don't need so many rules."
There is still me.
Hey.
What's with the slippers?
They are comfortable.
Let's begin.
Here. Faster.
-Slower! -Pass it to me.
-Give me. -Pass it to me.
I thought we were playing one-on-one.
Why does it turn into a team match?
Team match is the only way to train their teamwork.
Team match is also
the way to bring the team together and make them strong.
As the team's manager,
I have the obligation to motivate and guide them
to establish an effective communication channel
and help them improve their abilities.
Ms. Chen.
You're so professional now.
Not at all.
An Wenyi, Bao Zi.
Don't worry. Take it easy.
Relax, take your time.
Bao Zi, go.
That kid, Mo Fan finally shouted out a voice of inspiration.
He can say it on his own initiative.
That means that teamwork has already slipped into his consciousness.
Our efforts won't go to waste.
A basketball game made me realize the meaning of team.
We need to fulfill our roles while protecting each other.
We need to be independent, yet rely on each other.
That's the meaning of being together.
Of course, I also let them know
that proper exercise is beneficial to our health.
But as an eSports player, we need to learn to protect ourselves.
No bumping and no hurting.
So, friendship comes first and competition comes second.
I'll just let them win.
I'm here.
Guo Guo, let's go.
TEAM THUNDERCLAP
Team Thunderclap lost again today.
Thus, that concludes all the games in this season.
They are currently ranked 18th in the league.
How do you feel about leaving your old team?
Team Thunderclap isn't just my old team.
I debuted in Team Thunderclap.
That's my starting point.
But that's not your finishing point.
What do you think is my finishing point?
Holding the championship trophy.
But everyone says
that transferring from a league team
to the demoted Team Excellent Era isn't wise.
But you know very well
that Team Excellent Era is still the most ambitious and powerful team
to win the championship in Glory.
Only Team Excellent Era's lineup and equipment
deserve to be your finishing point.
Rather than saying you know me,
it's more accurate to say that you know Excellent Era.
The grouping of the top 20 teams
for Ninth Glory Challengers League has been announced.
The teams are divided into Group A and B. The ranking is based on points collected.
Winners of respective groups will play in the final.
The founding of the league,
Team Excellent Era that has been demoted previously
is assigned to Group A.
Due to the existence of Team Excellent Era,
the rest of the teams in Group A will stand no chance.
Team Happy is lucky.
You're not in the same group with Team Excellent Era.
We won't meet before the final.
Well...
I'll see you in the final then.
From now on,
I'll abandon my former identity as Team Thunderclap's captain.
I want to win the championship with a new identity.
The same goes for you.
Wait for me.
If you have a gift for me, just go to the Internet cafe.
Why must we come here?
This isn't a normal place.
This is an old spot where you took me
to see the Penrose stairs and find the Easter egg.
It seems like you have an Easter egg for me today.
This gift isn't new to me.
You buy this for me every year.
I think it doesn't reach the standard of an Easter egg.
I've counted it.
There will be ten matches from now to the final.
A newcomer needs a new appearance.
I've already prepared them for you.
There are ten masks in total.
Hey.
You can choose
not to wear it.
This is the place you told me
that the bugs in my brother's map
had a surprising Easter egg.
Certain bugs will always exist
if they are not fixed.
But if you're willing to take the first step,
maybe there will be an Easter egg that turns things around.
Easter egg!
Leave us alone.
Nice. Give him another punch.
Did you see it, Grandpa? I took him down.
-All right. Let's go home first. -You're the best.
Let's play again.
Okay, Grandpa. I'm sure I'll win again.
Grandpa.
How I wish you could see me now.
Excuse me, please pull over.
This place...
holds the memory of me and Grandpa.
-To the left! -Left!
To the right. Go up to the roof.
Good. Snipe it!
That's right. Holy cow!
Right in the center.
Grandpa, you're so good!
Ten combos.
-New record! -New record!
I told you.
My talent in eSports comes from you.
ID: LET THERE BE LIGHT RANKING LIST: 1
Master!
Little Light!
When we work together, we are the famous Golden Duo.
Let There Be Light!
When two guns combine harmoniously,
-they are invincible. -they are invincible.
Dad.
Did you play the computer again?
What a waste of time.
When will you stop messing around?
Where's the disc?
The disc...
The disc.
Grandpa is my first fan on my eSports journey.
Don't worry. I'll handle the Great Devil.
Grandpa.
I'll call you every day.
Do your best in the competition.
I'm waiting for you to win the championship.
All right.
I'll persist until the end.
I'll prove to Dad that I'm not wasting my time.
-ESports is a career too. -ESports is a career too.
Grandpa, I'll leave now.
Go ahead.
I almost forgot about this.
This is the key to our house.
Come back anytime you want.
I'm leaving.
Who gave him the courage to do so?
How dare he join the eSports competition without my permission?
I gave him my permission.
Dad.
I know you're happy that he likes to play computer games with you.
But you can't overlook his bad behavior like this.
"Bad behavior"?
Do you understand your son?
Why did you return so quickly?
Master.
Grandpa, are you okay?
I'm fine. You're Ye Qiu.
Seems like my Little Light has gone out successfully.
Master.
Little Light is calling.
Master copy.
The Great Devil isn't home.
Communication is safe.
Grandpa, I won the first prize in the game and met lots of experts there.
Also, I've met a friend who has lots of ideas.
We decided to do something big.
Remember to look after yourself when you're away from home.
Have you found somewhere to live?
Hey, Grandpa. You know what?
My friends and I are going to hold the first Glory Pro League.
Do you know what's a league, Grandpa?
It means that we can literally make eSports into a career.
My Little Light is so amazing.
I'm waiting to see you in the arena.
Right, have you found somewhere to live?
Grandpa, I have to attend a very important assessment in a few days.
If I pass,
I can be a real professional eSports player.
I'm so happy for you.
Little Light.
I can't seem to find the CD.
I'll ask the Great Devil.
Maybe he hid it somewhere.
By the way, have you found somewhere to live?
Can I help you?
Isn't this shop selling CDs?
So you're an old customer.
We did sell CDs previously,
but we stopped selling it three years ago.
Young people nowadays are playing Glory.
So we updated our products as well, but we still retain the signboard.
This is the only shop that still exists after so many years.
If it weren't for the signboard,
I would have assumed I went the wrong way.
One recognizes the way through things they are familiar with.
Did you just return from overseas?
Are you going home?
"Going home"?
Grandpa's funeral affairs have been taken care of.
Take a good rest these two days.
I believe that whether it's Grandpa or me,
we wish to see you
get back on the right track.
I've prepared the passport and luggage for you.
This is the information about the school.
Tell me if you need anything else.
Dad, I don't want to go abroad.
Why?
Because I have a very good friend who is waiting for me.
We promised to become professional eSports players together.
"Professional eSports players"?
You're still dreaming of becoming a professional player by playing games.
Haven't you come to your senses?
I thought your grandpa's death would make you understand
what's the most important thing.
I'm not asking you to be successful and glorify the family's name,
but I don't want you to choose a career that's doomed for failure.
I don't want your life to be filled with regrets.
I don't want you to regret one day when there's no way back.
Dad.
I don't know if I'll regret it in the future.
But right now,
I want to try my best.
You're humiliating the Ye family.
You either stay and be my son
or leave and never come back.
Dad.
From now on, you have nothing to do with this family.
CONTACT: DAD
From now on, you have nothing to do with this family.
Dad.
I was sitting here the day I left home.
You told me
that you don't want me to regret one day when there's no way back.
Dad.
I've always wanted to tell you
that I don't need a way back at all.
It's because I don't regret it.
Noodles don't taste good after a long time.
I've built a new team.
We're playing in our first Challengers League soon.
I hope
you can come and watch my game.
