Su Jia left after delivering the person.
Su Ran sat in the chair in the private room. She felt Su Chen's gaze as he looked at her, but he did not turn around.
It seemed like a fit of pique, or perhaps a sign of dissatisfaction.
Having exceptional skills is one thing, but can one team up with three others to succeed in a competition?
The person on the other side isn't a noob; they're a skilled player.
She had already done some research on professional esports events on her way here.
The 32 teams were divided into two groups, and each group played 12 group matches. After the group matches, the top eight teams from each group advanced to the winners' bracket, and the bottom eight teams fell into the losers' bracket.
Then the losers' bracket plays first, with 12 matches over two days. The top eight players advance to the final revival match, while the bottom eight are eliminated. The top eight players from the winners' bracket advance directly to the grand final, while the bottom eight enter the revival match, which also consists of 12 matches over two days.
The 16 teams that entered the revival round will compete to select 8 teams. The top 8 teams will qualify for the finals. The finals will consist of 18 matches over three days to determine the final 24 teams.
The team points system is now very clear: the first-ranked team gets 10 points, the second to eighth-ranked teams get 6/5/4/3/2/1/1 points respectively, and teams ranked below ninth get 0 points. Teams also get 1 point for each player eliminated.
Su Bufan stayed by the young lady's side. He had run a business in the e-sports industry before, so he understood her concerns.
“Miss, since it is Young Master Su Chen’s choice, he also has the courage to bear the consequences.”
Upon hearing Su Bufan's voice, Su Ran ultimately fell silent, letting out a long sigh.
......
The next day.
ASG also arrived at the Shanghai Stadium. They were drawn into Group 1, and Lin Ge kept sighing after learning about this grouping.
After all, most of the teams in Group A are strong teams.
Looking at the crowd coming onto the stage, Brother Lin could only condense his myriad words into a single "Good luck."
After six matches in one day, there's no need to watch any of tomorrow's six matches; ASG has successfully entered the loser's bracket.
Su Chen pursed his lips and remained silent. He packed up his peripherals and boarded the bus back to base with the group.
Meeting room.
Sitting at the head of the table as the coach, Lin Ge looked at all the players present and finally couldn't help but raise his voice, "Look at what you've been playing today!"
"You played like dog shit! Do you even know what professional players are like?"
"What do you guys look like to your fans? Newbies who've just started playing the game! You should stop playing and go home to gather pig feed."
The analyst, Lin, comforted Brother Lin, but didn't speak up for ASG. After all, he was too ashamed to speak up for them after the fight that had gone on today.
After calming down, Brother Lin said impatiently, "Let's review the game."
Just as I was about to turn on the screen mirroring, the sound of the door opening interrupted me. "What's going on today? Can we make the call? If not, we'll find someone else."
The man who arrived was ASG's manager, a lean man with glasses, his face full of anger. He continued, "Do you know how badly the fans are attacking you right now?"
"Six matches, a total of 10 points, and all of them were elimination points, nine of which were taken by evil. What are you doing?"
"If you can't play, just say so earlier. Why torture yourself on the field? You're just hogging the spot without doing anything? The second team is eyeing your positions. You're coming up from the second team tomorrow, so I think you understand."
When asked about tomorrow, he pursed his lips and remained silent. The manager ignored him and looked at Brother Lin, saying, "Can Jungle be commanded? If not, give him Evil."
After a moment of silence, Brother Lin continued, "We'll consider it further."
The manager didn't say much, but slammed the door shut with a loud bang, making everyone present tense.
Brother Lin looked at the ASG members and said, "You're currently second to last in Group 16, which is pretty good, since you're not first."
"Any objections to the command of evil?"
Tomorrow, preoccupied with the sniper's position, immediately replied upon hearing the voice, "Then I'll shoot the sniper?"
Hearing the voice of tomorrow, Brother Lin frowned. "You are still a free agent. Jungle and Shadow will both play assault roles, while Evil will serve as the team's commander and sniper."
Jungle was dissatisfied with his sudden dismissal, but he knew Evil's strength, so he suppressed his restless emotions.
Mingtian clenched his fists, protesting, "Why?! He's the commander and the sniper; if he makes a mistake, the whole team will be wiped out!"
Upon hearing his voice, Brother Lin's suppressed emotions completely erupted, "Why? It's because Evil is stronger than the three of you, because Evil can carry three of you, and because Evil has accounted for two-thirds of the total number of kills in the matches during the few months he's been with ASG."
"Why should I? If you're better than Evil tomorrow, the whole team will revolve around you. If you're not, you'd better keep your little schemes to yourself."
"This is esports. No one cares about your efforts, only the results! If you can win the championship, you're awesome. If you can't, you're bad and deserve to be criticized."
"If you can't beat evil, you should accept the team's arrangements instead of always asking why!"
"Jungle's position was revoked so easily, why didn't he say anything? Because he knew Evil was strong, and only by relying on Evil could they succeed. He was thinking of the team, unlike you who wondered why you were removed from your position."
The entire conference room was completely silent. Mingtian's face turned red, the veins in his neck bulged, and his fists were clenched, but he ultimately remained silent.
Brother Lin stopped looking at him and turned to the other three. "The current score is 10 points. The first place has 50 points, the second place has 47 points, the third place has 40 points, and the remaining eight places all have more than 30 points."
"The scores of those ranked 9th to 12th are not much different, all around 20 points. If you want to get into the top eight, you'll need to get at least 30 points tomorrow."
"There are too many unpredictable factors in the competition. I hope you will do your best tomorrow to reduce the points gap and strive to enter the top 8. If you lose, you will go to the loser's bracket."
The coach quickly explained the current situation, saying that it would be best to make it to the winners' bracket.
Subsequently, Cenglin, as an analyst, also began to analyze the situation of each player in the team.
Given that there is a match tomorrow, the review didn't go on too late, in order to prepare for tomorrow's match.
...
The next day.
As the commander, Su Chen faces immense pressure in every battle. He not only has to analyze the current battlefield situation but also assign tasks to his teammates and maintain the vigilance expected of a sniper.
Therefore, Su Chen today is completely in a situation where he is carrying three others.
In the final match of the six games, Lin Ge looked delighted in the rest room. The top three players had already accumulated over ninety points and were about to break one hundred, but the eighth-place player currently had 73 points.
ASG currently has a total score of 51, ranking tenth in the overall standings, a full 41 points more than yesterday's 10 points.
In these five games, Su Chen scored 21 points, his teammates scored 6 points, and he gained 14 ranking points, all of which placed him in the top six. His best result was third place.
Lin looked at Su Chen, who looked exhausted. After all, the tension of the fifth round was unbearable for anyone.
"Evil, how about..."
