Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

After the match ended, the Wuji team members sat listlessly in their seats, unable to recover for a long time. The Wuji team members were like puppets with their strings cut. Although it cannot be said that they have definitely lost, today's result was enough to lower their morale to a low point.

Faced with this situation, the Wuji team's training room fell into a deathly silence. No one left, as if time had stopped in their space. It wasn't until someone pushed open the door that the Wuji team members subconsciously looked in the direction of the door. The person who opened the door was their team owner, whose expression was now very worried...

Happy's victory resulted in increased attention, especially since some had previously tried to overhype Qiao Jingjing, which ironically fueled Happy's popularity. It's safe to say that now, both entertainment and esports media are focusing entirely on the Happy team.

Because of Happy's popularity, the popularity of Team Excellent Era on the other side has become very limited. However, there is nothing that can be done. Excellent Era's opponent this time is still a player team. Their experience is the same as in previous matches: taking photos and then PK. Facing ordinary players, this is undoubtedly a direct kill. No one has any special expectations for this match, after all, the result is already very clear.

Therefore, Excellent Era was only mentioned briefly in media reports, while their 8.5-1 victory over Happy was widely reported.

Esports Home, as the largest and most authoritative esports media in China, has consistently provided excellent coverage of Honor of Kings, currently one of the most popular games, especially in this era of rapid esports development. It's fair to say that approximately 80% of Esports Home's weekly reports are related to Honor of Kings. They even have reporter stations in the cities where major professional teams are based. For top teams, there are dedicated reporters accompanying the teams to build strong relationships and ensure they receive the most authoritative reports and interviews as soon as possible.

H City, the former home of the powerhouse esports team Excellent Era, naturally had a press station. This press station was also the first place where Esports Home sent reporters to accompany the team. However, as Excellent Era's performance continued to decline, the number of people at this press station and its popularity also decreased. Although the big news of Excellent Era's relegation kept them busy for a while, they soon realized that their press station was in danger of being shut down.

After all, a relegated team, even if it was once a powerhouse, isn't worth having a reporter standing here now that they're out of the competition. It was only with Xiao Shiqin's arrival that everyone felt Excellent Era would definitely return next season, which is why headquarters wasn't in a hurry to shut them down. However, Excellent Era's situation became somewhat marginalized during their year in the Challenger League.

Of course, although the news station has not been shut down yet, the staff here have already been reduced and sent to other cities where the teams are located.

Therefore, there are only two reporters at the Esports Home reporter station in H City right now. This is only because everyone believes there's a high chance Excellent Era will return to the league.

As for the two people left behind, the e-sports family naturally wouldn't pay them too much attention; at most, they would just be used to deal with some unforeseen needs.

Cao Guangcheng, as the head of H City Esports Home, previously served as a reporter covering the Excellent Era esports team. As such, their reporting naturally revolved around the team; the better the team performed, the more they could report on, and the more attention their scoops received. Therefore, when Excellent Era was at its peak, he was one of the most prominent reporters stationed at Esports Home. For several years, his reports dominated the esports headlines.

Unfortunately, as Excellent Era's performance declined, his treatment also worsened, and now he has completely fallen from grace. In particular, Excellent Era's elimination has left this reporter, who was once incredibly proud in front of his colleagues, in a very awkward position.

If this station is really disbanded, then all the connections he's built up will be meaningless. After all, his connections were all built around Excellent Era. If he's also assigned to another city as a reporter, how can he compete with his peers who have been operating there for years? Moreover, Cao Guangcheng is very clear that he was too dazzling back then, and now heaven knows how many colleagues are ready to laugh at him. After all, given his previous achievements, it's impossible for no one to be envious, jealous, or resentful.

Cao Guangcheng had considered other avenues, and he had even made some polite inquiries to other high-ranking officials about their possible handling of the matter. What frustrated Cao Guangcheng was that there were already enough and stable reporters in the cities where the major teams were located. If this news station were closed, he would most likely be reassigned to work as a reporter in the cities where some newly joined professional league teams were located.

But Cao Guangcheng, a veteran reporter, knew very well that the goal of such a new team was simply to avoid relegation. How much could a team like that have to offer in terms of reporting? They might even be eliminated next season, which would create a vicious cycle. He didn't even dare to think about how long his nomadic life would continue...

Having worked in this industry for so many years, Cao Guangcheng has a very clear understanding of the various situations within it. Therefore, when Excellent Era was eliminated, he did not immediately look for another way out. After all, no matter how bad it was, it was still Excellent Era. Their elimination could be described as a miracle. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be back next season. Not to mention that they now have the addition of four tactical masters, Xiao Shiqin.

Therefore, Cao Guangcheng decided to contact those new teams instead of wasting a year waiting for Excellent Era to return. After all, as long as Excellent Era returns to the professional league, all the relationships he had built up before will still be useful.

However, life is much more leisurely now compared to before. That's how people are; they used to complain about working themselves to the bone, but now that they're relaxed, they don't quite like it, and they even have some insomnia...

Cao Guangcheng was genuinely frustrated by these rare days when he had free time but just couldn't sleep.

Friday.

Cao Guangcheng once again emerged from his attempt to fall asleep. Although he was accompanying him, he was now quite relaxed.

As I leisurely walked out of the office, I saw Chang Xian, the other young man who had been with me there, busy with his computer.

This surprised Cao Guangcheng. After all, this guy had just graduated last year and was relatively passive in some matters. He came here because he was a fan of Excellent Era, but Excellent Era was eliminated as soon as he arrived. He should have been a young man with a leisurely life like Cao Guangcheng, but now he was working hard with his computer.

Cao Guangcheng went over to take a look and found that the other party was writing a report on the challenge match. Cao Guangcheng just smiled at this, after all, what's so interesting about writing about the challenge match? (End of this chapter)
