Chapter 469: Born For The Sake Of E-sports!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Team Sky had maintained a winning streak up till now, so in other words, for Team Skycrown to claim the championship, they needed to win two games.

Meiqi wouldn’t tolerate them slacking, and even more so, not their absent-mindedness!

She walked hurriedly to the stage and the staff didn’t stop her further advance. After all, the team manager going into the soundproof room of the players was allowed in South Korea, even the coaches would be right behind them during the match.

“Look, what are you looking at!? Look at yourselves! The match hasn’t even started and you guys look like your parents have died. Don’t tell me the lawsuit is affecting your performance in the game! Last year, even though you knew there was no chance of winning, didn’t you still beat the sh*t out of them!?” Meiqi yelled at the five members of Team Skycrown.

Luocheng and Lin Dong had been discussing strategies, and with Meiqi making a sudden appearance like this, it completely stunned them all.

“Lift your head up high and make sure you play a good game for me. I swear on my own name that your appeal will not fail and no one will disband your team as long as you guys are not beaten by those bird-sh*ts over there!” Meiqi continued.

The five of them didn’t know how to respond after being scolded over their heads by a woman.

After a few moments, Da Luo finally responded, his face in a pinched expression, “We never said that we wouldn’t play properly. Even if the team is disbanded, I’d still f*cking want to beat them into the dirt, do you know how long I’ve waited for this day!?”

Lin Dong nodded his head solemnly, saying, “Sis, we’re discussing our tactics seriously right now.”

Meiqi glanced at Luocheng who also nodded his head and said, “Don’t worry, no matter how it affects us, as long as we’re let into the game, even if the sky falls down on us, we’ll be putting all of our concentration into this match!”

“Good! Seeing your depressed faces didn’t seem like it!”

“Sis, you should hurry up and leave the stage, otherwise, the staff will come and chase you away. Do you know how many people are watching this match!? With you coming in and yelling at us like a harpy, who would dare to marry you after this?” Lin Dong joked.

“If I can’t get married then I’ll just pick one from the five of you!” Meiqi snorted, and having said her piece, she turned sharply and made her way down the stage, ignoring the stares from the five pairs of eyes.

Luckily, they were not as vulnerable nor as easily affected as she had thought…

Meiqi was pleased, Team Skycrown was refined and they were even stronger than Meiqi had imagined.

Xu Pingyang was entirely too naive, thinking that using this kind of underhanded tricks would affect the performance of Team Skycrown?

For the sake of today’s match, how long they had practiced and how much work they had put into their practice, adding on last year’s sacrifice that they had used as their baptism…

She believed that even if Xu Pingyang managed to disband their team, it was just delaying the inevitable time for Team Skycrown to obtain the championship. After the contract expired in August, they would surely return to the professional league, and no one would be able to stop them!

Only, would Meiqi even allow Team Skycrown to be disbanded?

Half a month ago, Meiqi had tried all kinds of ways to look for favourable evidence for Team Skycrown, even going multiple times to her father’s lawyer friend!

Meiqi was well aware that they didn’t have enough experience in life, and regarding this lawsuit and contracts, they wouldn’t be able to clarify a lot of things regarding these matters. As the manager of the team, it was up to her to find a solution to it!

All they needed to do was defeat their opponents in the competition, and she would definitely handle the rest of it for them!

***

Just as she returned backstage, Meiqi received a phone call.

“The contract is in the ACE database, but the database is under the control of the head secretary, stored in a secured safe.” Jiang Feng reported to her.

“Then…look for the head secretary and get it!” Meiqi said excitedly.

“Secretary Liang is no longer the head secretary for ACE. The post will be handed over soon, and the control over these documents are no longer in his hands but the next head secretary.” Jian Feng explained.

“The next head secretary?” Meiqi repeated, her brows furrowed. She suddenly realized the problem, saying, “Isn’t the next head secretary Xu Pingyang!?”

As long as Team Sky won the LPL championship, Pingyang was a shoe-in for the next head secretary of ACE. After all, the championship would belong to the club, and that club would naturally be the most influential club among all the others in the LOL field!

“That’s right, if Xu Pingyang becomes the head secretary, the contract would be in his hands. If that’s the case, we really won’t have any chance to turn this fight around at all!” Jian Feng said.

Meiqi was at a loss for a moment.

Really, if you lost this game, you would lose everything. Knowing this, Meiqi hurriedly ran toward the stage again, intending to let them know.

Right now, Team Skycrown was not only going for the name of being the strongest team in China nor the glory and disgrace of their enemies. Now, even their existence was tied to this match!

“Miss, you really can’t go up there anymore. The match has already begun, your team will have penalties if you insist on violating the rules!” The staff stopped her, informing her of the consequences seriously.

Meiqi was forced to stop, and she stood backstage, watching the five members of Team Skycrown from afar.

Hopefully, hopefully they really weren’t affected by the lawsuit at all. Hopefully they really would be able to put aside everything and concentrate their all into this, winning the last two games. They would get rid of this ghost that Xu Pingyang kept hanging over their heads, and they would also prove to everyone in the country that they had left the LPL last year in order to win the championship this year as their comeback!

A year or more ago, who knew who Team Skycrown was.

Everyone’s mind only had Team Daemons and Team Sky, but soon, the next time a discussion went down, it wouldn’t be Team Daemons or Team Sky any longer! It would be Team Skycrown, because they were the strongest team in China!

Meiqi had absolute faith in them and she believed that they would surely achieve this!

***

Taking a deep breath and facing the familiar atmosphere.

The faces that held excited expressions as well as all eyes which sparkled like bright stars!

This feeling, it was so comfortable.

Luocheng was not an arrogant person, but anyone would have such a prideful feeling, to let everyone who was watching witness their unparalleled talent in this field!

Enjoying the surprise on the spectators faces in this spectacular scene, enjoy the chants and cheers of their own IDs, enjoying the feeling that victory would bring to this body, as if electricity was coursing through his body!

From nothing to four thousand spectators with their eyes glued to the screen, millions of spectators at home watching on their computer screen and mobile phones to follow their team’s status in the competition…

From being looked down on by second-tier teams to becoming a black-horse existence that breezed through the LPL.

From being ruthlessly banned from competitions, leaving the competition venue with heavy hearts, to standing in the finals proudly, playing to a draw with Team Daemons and finally facing Team Sky!

He was no longer just an outstanding ordinary player in a university campus, but a professional player who had bet his entire youth in the professional arena!

He took another deep breath and all the images in his mind cleared off. He glanced at the person sitting in the opponent’s seat in front of him.

As though there was some connection in their hearts, the moment Luocheng raised his head to look at Zhao Tinghua, Tinghua had also raised his head, and their eyes met!

In the past, when their eyes would meet, the entire arena would get into an uproar because that was a testament to their perfect cooperation in the game. Now, it meant a necessary confrontation!

Luocheng understood too well regarding Tinghua’s temper, and Tinghua was also too familiar with Luocheng’s thoughts on sportsmanship in this field.

Luocheng was also clearly aware that Tinghua had entered the peak of his entire career right now, and the latter was likely to be as invincible as he once was previously, but so what?

Whoever stood in his path to e-sports, Luocheng wouldn’t hesitate to step on them, no matter how deep his past feelings had once been!

***

“What position will you play, will it be the Support?” Zhao Tinghua muttered to himself.

He wanted to know what role Luocheng would pick in this match to stir things up!

Support!?

From the beginning, Tinghua had believed that Luocheng would never limit himself to the position of a Support. His versatility and talent, having been his teammate once upon a time, Tinghua was very well aware of all of it.

Top, Mid, Jungler, ADC, Support… Tinghua would not be surprised at whatever role he chose to play. In fact, for him to pick a different position for each game wouldn’t be impossible!

This guy had already created many impossible things in the past, you couldn’t measure him using the normal standards of professional players!

For other professional players, it was possible only when they had been in the e-sports scene for a few years. Or maybe they were so outstanding that they were drafted into becoming professional players, but their experience was very little!

According to Tinghua’s understanding, Luocheng had already started playing Red Alert when he was only eight years old. He had started playing with sixteen, seventeen year olds in the earlier gaming platforms, and was within the rankings of players with 100% win-rates in China.

Later on, he had gone into Counter Strike and Starcraft. At that time, Counter Strike didn’t have any professional concept. StarCraft had been dominated by the Koreans who had smashed them, and this guy, at the age of ten, had played against professional Starcraft players…

At that time, there were a total of ten players, and one of the two games that was won had been played by him.

Because the game was played online, the players in the country as well as the Korean players had been unaware that the Fighting Hawk ID belonged to a ten year old kid who was playing in a dingy internet cafe!

At the age of twelve, he had immersed himself into Warcraft 3 and Dota. Warcraft 3 was the predecessor of Dota, and there were a lot of players from the US side. And this guy here had been one of the first few who could single-handedly control 8 heroes with his APM charted at a crazy speed that exceeded 300!

At the age of fourteen, he began officially playing Dota. At that time, CGA Platform had been the most popular. The better players were already very familiar with him, and at the age of fifteen, his standards were already no different than the professional players at that time.

At the age of sixteen when he had officially joined the ranks of professional players, he was unstoppable. Like a wild card in the country, he swept and stepped over all the strong players, taking the world by a storm!

At eighteen, he had received the award of World Champion of Gaming from the International E-Sports Federation.

This guy was born for the sake of e-sports!

How could those half-baked professional players and those self-righteous ordinary folks be his opponent!? They weren’t even qualified to dream about it!

Only he, Zhao Tinghua, was qualified to face him!
