Chapter 198: Buzzing excitement

Team Echelon was complete.

A team with a core of big names of the English Pro Alliance. But the truth remained that more than half of the team comprised of legends of the game who had been retired for almost a year.

Yes, they kept on playing the game, but not at the professional stage.

No matter how good Noah and his teammates were, no matter how legendary they were, this was still the pro alliance.

If they wanted to dominate again, they had to be diligent.

They had to train.

Knowing just how important it was, Noah set disciplinary rules for team Echelon making sure that every player took training with the utmost importance.

And then, under his leadership, training began.

For the first 3 days, simulation gauntlets began with Faction Warfront mock-ups, forcing the team to practice trust and betrayal mechanics.

Considering that they would be fighting together in a grueling 38-matchday season against not just ordinary players, but professional players just like them with mostly the same skill level and training diligence, Noah knew more than anyone the important of building and keeping camaraderie.

Trust among teammates was very essential to string together a successful season in a professional Warstar League Alliance.

This was why their first round of training, Noah emphasized on it.

From Day 4 to Day 6, he switched their training focus to role reversals in 1v1 public coliseum arenas. Noah sparred individually with each member, adapting their core weaknesses.

It was a no brainer that Noah was the best player of team Echelon. Not just that, his Avatar was the most well-equipped and strongest of the team.

He was still the guy to beat.

Aria especially loved this training session. It gave her the avenue to challenge Noah to her heart’s content, fighting till her fingers ached.

It gave her endless joy.

For the 2 days of this intense training session, none of them managed to beat Noah once. The ones who came closest was Aria, and then Caleb.

Noah mostly beat the others convincingly in 1v1 duels.

And then by Day 7 to Day 10, Noah changed the training focus again. He combined rotations, team duels, and synchronized strike training under legacy ascension pressure.

This was a step-up on their trust and cooperation in team battles. They didn’t just train their ability in team battles and how much they could cooperate though.

After all, they would be fighting against real opponents, legends just like them.

They would be clashing against the likes of Dain Ironvalor and Crimson Saint.

Even Stinger of War.

After his first season since inheriting the Battle God Avatar, Noah’s successor in team Cyber Squad already grew into his Avatar, embracing it fully.

This new season, they would be even more competition for the league title, the more reason why they should train to be at their best.

During the period of Day 7 to Day 10, Noah presented an online chart that he created, listing out all their opponents for the new Warstar Alliance season.

[12th English Pro Alliance Clubs:]

>Phoenix Rising.

>Scarlet Rose.

>Juggernaut.

>Cyber Squad.

>Lionheart Legacy.

>Oblivion Knights.

>Shadow Dominion.

>Imperium Tyranus.

>Nightfall.

>Blazing Gryphons.

>Avalon Sovereign.

>Stormborn Esports.

>Cerberus Core.

>Exo Genesis.

>Steel Bastion.

>Pendragon Esports.

>Helix Nova.

>Crimson Crow.

>Cross Guild.

>Echelon.

These were the 20 teams that would be competing in the new season of the Warstar English Pro Alliance, the 12th season of the Pro Alliance.

Last season, 3 clubs were relegated after only making the bottom 3 in the league table: Titan’s Ascent, Phantom Vortex, and Midnight Revenants.

Apart from Echelon, the 2 clubs that secured promotion by buying the spot after fulfilling the other requirements were Cross Guild and Crimson Crow.

Crimson Crow is a veteran pro club that has been in the scene for a while, going in and out of the Pro Alliance. But Cross Guild? Just like Echelon, they were an entirely new club that was created recently.

During Day 7 to Day 10, with Gabriel, Aria’s boyfriend asking as their game analyst, they worked on dissecting their opponents even as they trained.

After all, like they say, knowing your opponent already takes you one step closer to victory.

They learned about their possible opponents; their strengths and weaknesses, their game preferences, they studied their best players, Avatars, and their preferred playstyle.

Of course, more attention was put on the 2 giants, Scarlet Rose and Phoenix Rising, Scarlet Rose especially after the change during the pre-season.

This season, Jonathan finally stepped back, relinquishing authority over Crimson Saint to his successor, Chris.

In return, he took Chris’ old Paladin Avatar to use to mentor his successor for one final season in the English Pro Alliance.

Why did Jonathan not just leave?

Well, the answer was simple. This season was a special one. Just like Noah and his friends, Jonathan also wanted to play in the World Championship. This was why he wanted to make his last stand for glory in tyrannical fashion, even if he was going to do it from a more support role this time.

After Day 10, from Day 11 to Day 12, Noah changed focus to full dress rehearsal. He organized behind the scenes friendly games with other pro clubs that would be competing in the English Pro Alliance.

Most rejected his request. After all, most clubs have made upgrades to their teams and Avatars during the holiday period.

They didn’t want to reveal the changes in their teams to their rivals too early.

And so, Noah was able to organize only few friendly games but each one was a learning experience for his team.

It was just 1 year but Noah felt like he had been away from the English Pro Alliance for a year already.

’I feel rusty’. He grinned. ’But I’m ready to work my way back to fitness’.

By the end of the second week, Team Echelon wasn’t just back, they were sharper than ever.

And Noah? He sat alone on the balcony of the club building that night, headset off, gaze on the glimmering city, quietly murmuring.

"This season... I’m taking everything".

His eyes burned with fire.

...

It was weekend.

The atmosphere in England among Warstar esports communities buzzed with excitement and anticipation.

It was that time of the season again.

It was as if the entire nation had awoken with a shared heartbeat.

From Manchester to London, from Birmingham to Bristol, the streets thrummed with the same electric anticipation... matchday 1 of the new English Pro Alliance season had finally arrived.

After two weeks of pre-season hype, patch debates, team transfers, bold predictions, and endless speculation, the waiting was over.

Outside major Pro Hubs, in massive, high-tech viewing arenas sponsored by league clubs, crowds lined up as early as 6 AM, draped in jerseys, waving holo-banners, and singing club chants with reckless joy.

There was a certain emphasis on a new fanbase in London... Club Echelon.

Club Echelon fans wore their signature obsidian-black hoodies, faces lit with confidence and expectation, yelling at the top of their lungs.

"Fear the Apex! Rule the Game! All hail the Black Throne!"

In London, there was a just 1 hegemon at first... Cyber Squad. The most successful English Warstar club ever, but the days of Cyber Squad ruling the city of London were long gone now.

In the old days, no one ever expected another club to topple Cyber Squad’s rule in London. But these days, it was all Phoenix Rising and Dain Ironvalor.

And now, against all expectations, a 3rd hegemon was rising.

The 3rd hegemon was not rising because of merit, winning the Warstar RPG Champions League like Phoenix Rising did. Rather, the new London hegemon was rising entirely due to star power.

God Noah, Sword Saint Aria... those names were legendary names in Warstar esports communities and the English Pro Alliance in general.

Gathering them in one team, a new team, it was inevitable that Club Echelon would rise to fame even without playing out their first season in the Pro Alliance yet. The hype around them was annoyingly crazy.

It was not all Echelon though. Other club supporters held nothing back either; whether it was the sky-blue of Juggernaut, the crimson of Scarlet Rose, or the golden yellow of Phoenix Rising, every fanbase was armed with chants, memes, and irrational faith.

Drone cameras zipped overhead. Giant billboards flashed countdowns and animated player spotlights.

Fast food chains offered ’Season 12 Buff Meals,’ while streamers were already live, shouting over predictions and pre-game trash talk.

On social media, #EPA12 trended on #1 across all UK platforms.

Fan accounts posted spicy edits: Noah in a king’s robe, Aria with devil wings, Benjamin edited into a bowl of soup with the caption: ’Elementalist Soup is BACK, BABY’.

A viral video showed a classroom pausing an exam so students could check the live roster draft announcement.

At home, living rooms across the country turned into war rooms. Kids skipped school. Offices were half-empty by noon.

Even pubs replaced their usual footie streams with Warstar coverage, pints raised as if it were the World Cup.

Old-timers debated the golden season of the past, the God Noah era, wondering if the King came back to rule or if his decision to return from retirement was a mistake.

Teenagers screamed every time their favorite player’s Avatar flashed onscreen. Families gathered with snacks, hearts pounding in time with the countdown timer.

And then...

As the clock struck 3 PM, the digital whistle blew.

The first match of the matchday loaded in.

The casters screamed.

And England lost its collective mind.

The Pro Alliance... was back!
