That night, Club Tiny Herb's reserve team slept extremely uneasy.
They didn't go group together and look for trouble with Lord Grim again. Even though almost everyone used the excuse "low-leveled characters didn't have every class skill available, so they weren't used to it", they all knew in their hearts that that wasn't an excuse. They were pro-players. Just because they weren't used to it didn't mean that their team should get wiped out by in-game players, right? If that were true, then pro-players weren't worth anything.
The next day, Tiny Herb's main team and the reserve team met up with each other in the practice rooms and greeted each other.
As pro-players, they had to participate in the daily drills. Even though there was no lack of players who didn't want to practice, there were no such members in Tiny Herb. With captain Wang Jiexi's stare, half of the members were even too afraid to speak out.
"Woah, did you not sleep?" When Qiao Yifan saw his good friend Gao Yingjie, he jumped in fright. Gao Yingjie's dark bags under his eyes like a panda.
"Ah......." Gao Yingjie muttered and didn't really answer him.
Qiao Yifan looked again. Xiao Yun, Zhou Yebai, and Liu Fei - which one of their complexions looked good? However, their minds were still somewhat better than Gao Yingjie and the bags under their eyes weren't as heavy.
And Qiao Yifan? He hadn't felt any pressure. It wasn't like anyone had any hopes for him.
At 9 o'clock sharp, Wang Jiexi arrived at the practice room on time. Tiny Herb's official training was split into the morning and the afternoon. Coaches, those types of people, still weren't established in Glory. After all, Glory had only been a game for ten years and the pro-scene had only been around for seven years. Everything was still in the testing stages. In the entire scene, first-class Gods like Wang Jiexi were already at the peak, whether it was in theorycrafting or skill. As a result, there weren't any people with the skill to coach them.
As a result, for Clubs like Tiny Herb, they didn't have coaching staff and instead had advising staff. Their work was extremely complex: find information on their opponents, analyze the opponent's tactics, provide a few tactical options, research possible strategies for a map, etc. These were all tasks that the advising staff had to do. But the person with the highest authority was the team captain.
To be frank, the highest value of the advising staff was saving energy for pro-players. They saved a lot of energy for pro-players. In the initial stages of the pro-scene, those tasks all used to be work for the pro-players themselves to do. Now that Clubs had developed, with their financial resources, the money could now be used for these, giving pro-players more time to concentrate on practicing and competing.
Currently, in the Alliance, the only real coaches were Zhang Yiwei and Li Bo. The two were early-generation pro-players and were each in a small Club working as coaches.
Club Mysterious Fantasy were newcomers that had joined the Alliance just last year. The team was full of new players. Their skill levels varied and they lacked experience. The owner of the team also didn't have a lot of financial resources and didn't have any ambition. And in the end, he just randomly invited Zhang Yiwei to help the team. Who would have thought that the results would be so good. They ended up 17th place last season, which for a new team that had just entered the Alliance, was already quite good, considering that they didn't drop to the bottom two places. Some of the teams that entered for the first time spent money scouting people and tried to quickly build a team around pro-players. Those teams all ended as terrible failures. This wasn't only a one-time thing either. From this perspective, coaches were quite cost-effective. At the very least, they were a small investment that had few risks.
