The rules of the playoffs of the second division were different from the regular season . It was no longer a two victory per stage model . Instead, it used the last one remaining elimination system . This meant that each team would send three sets of partners . If they could last to the end, they would win one point .
The rules of the team battle were similar to the regular season but winning also only counted as one point .
The schedule was: Team A selected a map to play the arena and team battle . Then it would be exchanged with Team B selecting a map for the arena and team battle . If they tied in these four games, there would be a random map selection for a team battle .
It could be seen that one point in the playoffs was more precious than five points in the regular season .
The playoffs used the five games, three wins system . Regardless of arena or team battle, whoever took three games would win .
This rule change was similar to the playoffs of the first division and the World Competition, making the arena as important as the team battle . Moreover, the three rounds partner system paid attention to the cooperation cooperation between partners .
If the playoffs, anyone who lost would immediately be eliminated .
The strength of the Canglan team wasn't weak and the youngsters had matured after the regular season's training, but Li Cangyu didn't dare act carelessly . If he made a mistake and they lost a match in the playoffs, everything they did would be in vain . Don't even talk about the World Competition, even the promotion qualification to the first division would be lost .
They must win the championship of the second division!
This was the goal that Li Cangyu emphasized in the pre-match meeting .
The lineup of the Glory team was based on a melee output . Li Cangyu studied the configuration of their members with Old Zhang, Ah Shu and Bai Xuan before finalizing the arena combinations .
The Canglan team chose a forest map to let Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Li take the lead . Xiao Han and Ah Shu would be the middle team and the Li Cangyu and Zhang Jueming combination would finish it off .
This arrangement could be regarded as a double insurance . Even if the opening pair of Zhuo Li fell into a disadvantage, there was Ah Shu in the middle to stabilize the situation . Finally, Li Cangyu would personally end it to ensure they wouldn't lose the arena .
During the team battle, Li Cangyu also had all four old players participate in order to minimize the error rate .

Since all four veterans of Canglan played, there was no suspense in this semi-final game . They won three games in a row with a big score of 3:0!
Two days later, the Canglan team would play in the finals of the second division and the opponent was the Yaohua team .
In the regular season, Li Cangyu's state was affected by his cold and there was a big loss to Yaohua . This team was the strongest team in the second division and the captain and vice-captain were experienced veterans who had played for several years .
Li Cangyu still wasn't worried .
In the first arena round, he directly had Zhuo Li and Xiao Gu go out to compete . It was a rare opportunity in the finals to train their psychological tolerance . Of course, he would be the final guard pair with Old Zhang .
The match was much harder than the last one because it was for the championship of the second division and to gain the ticket for the first division .
In the first round, the four young players were probably too nervous . The disadvantages in the early stages were too great so that even Li Cangyu couldn't gain back the situation despite his personal strength . The team unexpectedly lost and the score was 0:1 .
In the team battle, the four old players joined forces . Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong were people who had experienced various competitions and were stable . Old Zhang's psychological state was relatively strong, not to mention Li Cangyu who wasn't even afraid of the World Competition .
The four of them joined hands to pressure the opponents and quickly pushed to the crystal, gaining one point and making it a 1:1 draw .
In the third game, Li Cangyu changed his mind and replaced the Zhuo Li and Gu Xiao duos . He had Ah Shu with Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Han with Old Zhang and he personally took Li Xiaojiang to end it .
There was a great god with them and the youngster's mental state was robust . The rounds were played very smoothly . Once Li Cangyu appeared, the two people opposite him were already in residual blood from Xiao Han . Li Cangyu successfully completed the harvest and a big 2:1 filled the screen .
As long as they won another game, the finals would be won!
Li Cangyu had been close to the trophy many times since becoming a professional player but missed it due to a variety of reasons…
This time, he wouldn't let the opportunity go!
Li Cangyu took a deep breath and gathered his teammates together . He said simply, “This is our match point . If we win this game, we won't have to play the fifth game . Everyone, go all out and make it quick!”
The people who won two games were encouraged and became excited .
In the crucial second team battle, Li Cangyu sent the most stable lineup of himself, Xiao Gu, Xiao Han, Bai Xuan, Xie Shurong and Old Zhang .
The Gu Xiao Shu were in the front row for a rapid impact and Li Cangyu used violent suppression from behind . There was also Bai Xuan's stable healing and Old Zhang's flexible assistance . The Canglan team was really quick and finished the battle in just 20 minutes .
It was a big score of 3:1! The Canglan team won!
Once the golden 'victory' popped on the screen, Li Cangyu's performance was calmer than many reporters expected . He just smiled slightly before getting up to gently hug his teammates . The four teenagers jumped with joy while Li Cangyu was calm, as if winning was already expected .
In the seventh season of the Miracle League, the champion of the second division was the Canglan team .
This could be counted as the first trophy in Li Cangyu's career .
He led the FTD team from the first season of the Miracle League and then later transferred to Wulin . For the three years in Miracle and the three years in Wulin, he never won any team trophies .
Now that he obtained one, the expression on his face was unusually calm .
It was because his goal was far beyond this! The champion of the second division, this was just a staged victory and it was only halfway along his path . He wasn't satisfied and had to move on .

Once Li Cangyu led his team members over to shake hands, Captain Wei Hua of the Yaohua team took his hand and seriously told, “Cat God, I hope that you can win the championship of the first division, so that Yaohua losing to you won't be an injustice . ”
Li Cangyu patted him on the shoulder and smiled . “I will try my best . ”
The players in the second division weren't as strong as the gods in the first division . However, Li Cangyu knew that they worked hard for the same goal and they deserved respect .
The second division ended and the awards ceremony was held directly at the venue . The president of the Miracle League's Organizing Committee personally handed him the trophy for the second division . He patted Li Cangyu's shoulder emotionally and said, “Old Cat, you did well . ”
Li Cangyu took the trophy and raised the first trophy in his career to the cheers of the audience .
The host excitedly asked Li Cangyu, “Cat God, this is the first time you have received a trophy . Do you have any thoughts?”
Li Cangyu smiled . “This is indeed the first trophy since I became a professional player but there is still the promotion match and more competitive league waiting for us . I won't be complacent because there are more challenges waiting for me . ”
There were more challenges waiting for him . This obviously meant he was coming back to challenge the giants in the first division!
The Wind Colour team's dormitory .
Ling Xuefeng saw the bright and firm eyes on the computer screen and couldn't help smiling . He thought inwardly, 'I have been waiting for you to come back . The first division is the real venue to prove your strength . '
In the second division of the seventh season, the Canglan team won the championship, a result expected by many reporters .
The rapid growth of the several newcomers in the Canglan team showed that the overall strength of the team had improved one step from the beginning .
Now the Canglan team wouldn't necessarily lose to some teams in the first division .
Cat God's ambition wasn't small and he was looking long-term .
Now that he returned, it was naturally impossible for him to be satisfied with being the champion of the small second division .
This trophy was too small to prove his true strength . He repeatedly sent out the young players in the middle and late stages to prepare for the first division . He was obviously determined that he would be the champion of the second division .
Of course, he must win the next promotion match!
