The interview was clipped and uploaded, becoming one of the most trending videos .
Water Fairy was ranked first on the Beauty Rankings in the game, and the interview had just helped her to gain even more popularity .
Water Fairy used to be a very lowkey girl who liked to wear face masks to cover her face . Only her close friends had actually fully seen her face, and yet she was still able to make it onto the Beauty Ranking .
These days, she had embraced her popularity and had even done some modelling and photoshoots for magazines .
Even though Water Fairy was determined, this still didn't change that fact that Drizzle Court would struggle against the most dominant guild in the gaming community, Glory Capital .
Even though Drizzle Court was the away team, their fans travelled from all around the world and gathered at the capital to support their team . The crowds erupted as fans from both sides cheered them on; it was truly a sight to behold .
In reality, the fact the Drizzle Court was able to make it this far into the tournament was already quite impressive for them .
There were already tension between the fans because of the rumors about Songs of Fries being poached by Glory Capital . Glory Capital fans mocked them and Drizzle Court fans were quick to defend their team . Before the match even begun, a fight erupted between the fans as more and more people joined in .
Fortunately, security was able to quickly de-escalate the fight and control the whole situation .
According to sources, there were seven fans that suffered injuries and one that was severely beaten up – the guy that started mocking the Drizzle Court fans about Songs of Fries .
Lu Li did not believe that it was Glory Capital that poached him .

Drizzle Court wasn't even that large of a threat to them, so why would they bother going through all that trouble to poach a second-tier player? They also had no reason to hide it if the rumors were true .
Glory Capital could actually be the victim in this whole situation . They had gained nothing out of these rumors except an enemy in Drizzle Court . Whoever was behind all of this must have been having the time of their life .
Because of all that had happened, there was a lot of tension between the two opposing teams .
The match was held at the National Sports Convention Center – a 200 year old building that had hosted countless major matches and concerts . This was the first time it was hosting a gaming tournament .
As the gaming scene grew more and more popular, the rest of world began catching up to the trend .
The last time Drizzle Court and Glory Capital faced off, Drizzle Court lost by one point in the single elimination match .
Although this was quite impressive, the results were likely to be completely different this time . Because of how the tournament was set up, it would be stupid to leave out their best player until the end .
Putting your best player in first wasn't always the smartest idea either . Single elimination tournaments are won by controlling the tempo of the fight .
In professional matches, it was very rare for a single player to defeat three or more opponents . Being able to take out two players by yourself was considered very impressive .
Lu Li has defeated three opponents by himself, but that was much earlier on in the game and the players that he faced were all noobs compared to him . Since it was the quarter finals, only capable players would take the stage, making it much harder to defeat more than one opponent by yourself .
Some players were able to defeat an opponent and deal half-HP to the next opponent before going down .

The opening player was usually a capable player that could either defeat their opponent or leave them at critical HP . Other times, teams would send out promising rookies first in order for them to gain some experience .
Glory Capital did exactly that and sent out one of their top rookies Daoless Ecstasy . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
His opponent was Water Fairy!
This young professional Mage was only 16 years old and was making his first appearance as a pro . Unfortunately, he was against Water Fairy in his debut .
If Daoless Ecstasy wanted to become as famous as Sorrowless, he had to perform well now .
Daoless Ecstasy was a cool and collected kid and did not felt pressured going against a Top player . According to Lu Li's memory, he shouldn't have faced off against Water Fairy today . His reborn life was already straying away from his past . Daoless Ecstasy wouldn't have made his debut until a few months later where he managed to defeat one of the star players by sheer luck .
In Lu Li's past life, he had a successful debut, quickly gaining lots of fans and popularity, and was on pace to becoming one of the best players in the game .
Daoless Ecstasy was Sorrowless' disciple, the one that Sorrowless decided to be worthy to pass his baton onto . Sorrowless was soon to be 30 years old and had been looking to train up some rookies for Glory Capital .
A Mage and a Thief .
A rookie and a famous star player .
Water Fairy had become much stronger in the past half-year . Her popularity was already absurdly high because of her beauty and now her fan base was growing more and more because of how capable she had become .
Watching the livestream of the tournament, Lu Li remembered the time he first saw Water Fairy .

During that time, he was still selling equips, while Water Fairy was busy spending luxuriously . Yet when she challenged Lu Li to a duel, she still lost .
Looking at her mechanics, it was a totally different story compared to the first day . She had realized that buying overpowered gear and steamrolling other players could only get you so far .
Daoless Ecstasy was completely abused by Water Fairy, and when he was defeated, Water Fairy still had 80% HP left . What was even more ridiculous was that Water Fairy hadn't even use any of her ultimate skills . She slaughtered the rookie as if he was nothing .
Lu Li shook his head and smiled; her desire for vengeance was scary .
She doesn't care who actually poached her player . All she cared about is directing all her anger towards Glory Capital .
Although it seemed like Water Fairy was able to defeat Daoless Ecstasy easily without using any major cooldowns, it was very obvious that she was trying her absolute best .
Normally, a seasoned veteran would go easier on a rookie .
Every year, almost every guild would have a rookie making their debut, hoping that veteran players would go easier on them so that they could gain some experience . This was an unspoken rule in the community and most players upheld it . A rookie's debut was very important in terms of building their confidence and preparing them psychologically .
Water Fairy's next opponent was Sorrowless .
His face was expressionless and no one could tell whether he was angry or not . However, based on the
fight, it was obvious that he was determined . He tried very hard mechanically and Lu Li noticed that there were some changes to his skills and playstyle .
If your pupil was slaughtered in such an embarrassing way, as the teacher, you would have to show them who was boss .
Lu Li was not mad that Sorrowless completely destroyed Water Fairy . Instead, he carefully observed his playstyle, new special effects and how much damage Sorrowless was doing .
Water Fairy had good equips and some of her pieces were borrowed from Lu Li as well .
Despite having slightly better gear, Sorrowless' mechanics ultimately allowed him to defeat Water Fairy . This showed the clear difference between Daoless Ecstasy and Sorrowless .
Deadly Green Orange was next representing Drizzle Court . Since Sorrowless had just taken out an almost-full-HP Water Fairy, it was impossible for him to survive through this next round .
Blood Dagger finished off Deadly Green Orange and managed to defeat the next player from Drizzle Court as well .
In the end, Drizzle Court managed to edge ahead with a 1-point lead .
The cameras panned onto Daoless Ecstacy, who was almost in tears . From his point of view, it was his fault that they had lost an easy match .
The fans and the commentators had their hopes up, wishing that Drizzle Court would advance up to the next stage and face off against Ruling Sword .
Lu Li shook his head in his seat; nobody else understood Drizzle Court as well as he did . Based on his knowledge, they had already exhausted most, if not all of their players and secret trump cards .
However, he didn't know how much Glory Capital still have up their sleeve .
Drizzle Court managed to lead by two points after the Home and Away games . This meant that Glory Capital had to win by at least two or more points in the next round to tie or defeat Drizzle Court .
