Tyranny

Tyranny (霸图, Bàtú) is an eSports team that made its debut in Season 1 of the Glory Professional Alliance. They have an active guild in the Heavenly Domain Server.

History
In the early days of Glory, Han Wenqing was known for having a 100% win-rate in the Arena along with Ye Qiu. Both parties were recognised for their prowess in the online game. Not long after, both parties signed for their respective teams, with Han Wenqing signing for Tyranny.

In the first three seasons of the Glory Professional Alliance, they were eliminated by Excellent Era each and every time, in the Quarter-Finals, Grand Finals and Semi-Finals respectively. This caused a long-standing and fierce rivalry between the two teams in the upcoming years. At the end of Season 3, it is implied that the first user of Immovable Rock retired and ceded control of the account to Zhang Xinjie.

With the debut of Zhang Xinjie in Season 4, the team managed to reach the grand finals again, facing their rivals Excellent Era. In the Grand Finals decider Team Competition, Ji Leng assassinated One Autumn Leaf with a Life Rising Strike that would go down in the history of Glory. Han Wenqing was awarded MVP (Regular Season) and Ji Leng was awarded MVP (Grand Finals). At the end of this season, both Ji Leng and Li Yibo retired.

In Season 5, Zhou Guangyi and Bai Yanfei debuted, with the former being the successor of Ji Leng and his Cold Seasons. In that season, they finished 3rd-4th as they were eliminated by Tiny Herb.

In Season 6, Han Wenqing's successor, Jia Shiming, transferred to Royal Style after not receiving enough playtime within the team. In that year, they were eliminated in the Semi-Finals.

In Season 7, the team finished in the Semi-Finals as they were eliminated by Tiny Herb.

In Season 8, Han Wenqing changed his playstyle due to his age. In that year, the team finished 5-8th after being eliminated by Misty Rain.

Before the start of Season 9, the team made a huge revamp to their main roster. The team purchased the Number One Spitfire, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, for RMB 16 million. This resulted in Zhang Jiale coming out of retirement and joining the team, taking control of the account. Wind Howl's ace and captain, Lin Jingyan, also transferred to the team and took control of the new Brawler account Dark Thunder. The team also promoted a Sharpshooter rookie, Qin Muyun, from their training camp to the main team. As a result of these changes, Zhou Guangyi and Wang Chixuan both left the team.

In that season, the team stopped relying on sheer aggression and forcefully attacking the enemies, as their core now consisted of old veterans who could not endure such intensive battles. The team lost in the Grand Finals to the upcoming Samsara, who clinched their second consecutive Championship after a bland performance from Tyranny in Game 3.

In Season 10, the three veterans stopped appearing together in the same match, in order to conserve their energy. At the same time, Han Wenqing's second successor, Song Qiying, made his debut for the team. In this season, they were eliminated in the Semi-Finals by Ye Xiu's Happy after the series played out all 3 maps. At the post-match conference, Lin Jingyan announced his retirement for the team, and Han Wenqing announced that a new player would be there to take Lin Jingyan's place.
