A day after the final of the Warstar RPG World Championship, the remaining foreign national teams in New Jersey, U.S.A finally embarked on their return trip.
While ng Yu Wa’s party embarked on their triumphant return to China, Gabriel’s party also embarked on their return journey to England.
They took Qatar airlines.
Bzzz!
The cabin humd with the steady drone of the engines as the plane cruised through the sky. Sunlight stread in through the oval window, casting a pale glow on the face of the young man sitting closest to it.
Gabriel leaned against the cool glass, his breath faintly fogging the surface. His dark brown hair was slightly tousled, and he absentmindedly twirled a loose thread on his jumper as his blue eyes remained fixed on the view outside.
"You’ve been staring out there for the past half-hour," Team England’s Vice Captain, Oliver, also the Elentalist controller inclined his head to look at his captain. "You’re still thinking of that ng Wu Ya, right?"
Gabriel did not answer imdiately, rather, he looked across where his other teammates sat in the plane and then he finally responded.
"Yeah," he chuckled. "I just can’t get it out of my head".
He looked at his Vice Captain. "Oliver, I’ve been thinking, ng Yu Wa’s level, was that the type of level that God Noah played at in his peak?"
Oliver shrugged. "I don’t know, during his absolute peak we were still broke toddlers dreaming of playing Warstar". He chuckled. "Maybe he got to that level too, but why are you suddenly curious?"
Gabriel looked outside the window again. "Thinking back to how dominantly that bastard beat us, even completing a 1 vs 3," he sighed. "I suddenly feel bad for winning against God Noah’s team".
He looked at Oliver. "We beat them at their weakest, and now I no longer feel like it’s such a big achievent".
"They were already past their peak".
Oliver rolled his eyes. "You’re joking, right?"
"Yeah, I am," Gabriel chuckled. "No matter what version of Noah it is, winning against a team led by him is not easy".
And then, his eyes turned dreamy. "I wonder who would win, in a PK fight between God Noah and ng Wu Ya".
He grinned. "I’d pay to watch that".
"Instead of thinking of that, let’s start preparing now on how we’ll topple ng Wu Ya to snatch the next World Championship trophy. To do that, we need to secure another King of England champions league trophy first".
Gabriel nodded. "Talking of the World Championship," he looked at his Vice Captain. "I think they’ll release news concerning it soon".
"Huh?"
Gabriel rubbed his chin in thought before answering. "Think about it, if we play the World Championship every year just like the champions league, its identity would no longer be as unique".
"The World Championship was created to be the ultimate trophy of Warstar, a trophy that every professional eSports player should strive to get as his highest achievent, this is why I think they’ll try to make winning it a rarity".
"Really?"
"Yeah," Gabriel nodded. "Football’s World Cup tournant is played every 4 years, maybe Warstar will employ the sa format?"
Gabriel and Oliver conversed for a large part of the journey, analyzing different topics, most hovering between the dynamic called ng Wu Ya and Noah.

1 week later...
The world was still reeling from the aftermath of the Warstar RPG World Championship that concluded not too long ago and, in this ti, a lot of things happened as the eSports arena cald a bit after the end of the campaign.
With the Warstar RPG World Championship concluding, all the professional eSports clubs and their players could finally rest.
It was holiday ti.
Of course, while the eSports alliance and the league campaigns went through their holiday period, inside the ga itself was still lively.
Millions of players continued enjoying themselves, adventuring, and exploring the myriad world of Warstar, including its rich lore.
Among these players was a certain crew.
With the end of the World Championship, motivated even more by that, Noah and his teammates poured their ti and energy into the ga, leveling up at a rapid speed as they climbed the new server rankings.
Like this, 1 week passed and then, the official X platforms of the Warstar World Championship, the English Pro Alliance, and the Warstar Developers released announcents with only a few hours difference separating the posts.
Just like every other campaign, the English Pro Alliance would have a long 2 months’ holiday after the campaign end in preparation for a new league season.
And long before ti, the English Pro Alliance committee would release the fixtures for the new season, including the date for the first ga of the season.

...
(By the end of the 10th season, 3 eSports clubs were relegated from the English Pro Alliance, naly Team AI Dominators, Team Cyber Titans, and Team Rogue Predators.)

The premise for a new campaign of the English Pro Alliance was already set, and Noah and his teammates were not part of it.
They were not disappointed by it though, rather, they expected it.
The biggest problem that plagued Noah’s group of retirees was not coming out of retirent, instead the biggest problem was actually creating a roster of powerful max level 100 Avatars that are strong enough to compete in the pro scene.
A max level 100 Warstar Avatar could not be created in just 2 months. The more you level up, the harder it becos to level up.
This was why every single Warstar Avatar is so precious.
It is the result of the sweat and tears of an avid gar who poured his heart and soul into the ga, grinding to create a max level Warstar Avatar.
Noah and his teammates returning to the pro scene was not going to be an imdiate endeavor.
Having lost their original 1st server Avatars, they were going to be patient and take their ti building Avatars that were strong enough to compete.
Hours later after the official account of the English Pro Alliance released their post, the official account of the Warstar World Championship also made a post that attracted a lot of attention.

(Official Account: Warstar World Championship)
(Announcent!)
(After the first edition of the Warstar World Championship and its resounding success, we organized a gathering, eting with the top authorities of Warstar around the world, including the developers and we arrived at a decision.)
(The Warstar World Championship is not an annual competition.)
(The Warstar World Championship will be played every 2 years, and the final of the next World Championship will be hosted in the City of Paris, France.)
(France are the hosts of the Warstar RPG World Championship 2038!)

The Warstar community was taken by storm by the announcents.
Apparently, the decision to make the World Championship a 2-year tournant was partly because professional eSports players do not usually have the longevity of other physical sports like football.
At most, a professional eSports player could win the tournant a few tis.
After the announcent by the World Championship committee, just an hour later, the official account of the ga developers of Warstar made a post.
Their post created the greatest storm in the Warstar community.
