Glory [e-sports]

Lu Feng stared at the hidden thief on the screen.

Wei Xiao was unusually calm, “The divine warrior’s later stage DPS is unable to kill Kim Sung-hyun. Moreover, the team needs you to start the team fight. If you die, Old Bai won’t be able to hold up.”

The light priest was squishy. Without the divine warrior tanking, FTW would have a very difficult time fighting.

Brother Cai spoke anxiously, “Then what should we do? If we can’t kill Kim Sung-hyun, we won’t be fighting shit.”

Wei Xiao spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll go.”

Bai Cai’s brows twisted together, “You’re too squishy. You can’t reach Kim Sung-hyun.”

Wei Xiao glanced at the soldier lines and the refresh time for the ancient creature and calculated silently in his heart, “There’s only one chance.”

They would only have one chance, and the present situation didn’t allow Wei Xiao any room for error.

The resurrection time for heroes in the late stages of the game took too long. If Wei Xiao couldn’t cut Kim Sung-hyun down dead, then FTW would lose.

The ancient creature would refresh, and the soldier lines would advance forward.

The FTW that would be left with only four people wouldn’t be able to hold up no matter what!

Lu Feng’s voice was low, “Go ahead. We’ll draw them over. You look for a chance.”

Wei Xiao nodded, “Yes!”

Bai Cai, Yue Wenle, and Ning Zhehan’s hearts all rose up to their throats.

It was just a points fight. If they lost, their prize pool would be empty.

FTW was currently in first place in the bonus prize pool and losing would be costly.

However, it wasn’t a dead end for them, because the real competition for the entire training camp would take place on the last day.

They had hope for turning the tables around even if they lost today’s game.

And if they won today, it would just be a moment of brilliance.

However…

They didn’t want to lose!

They weren’t willing to lose!

No matter what the cost was, regardless of whether the results were important or not, at that moment, all they remembered was their team name.

––FTW.

For The Win.

For victory!

Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else. Even his breathing slowed down.

His mind was filled with countless images of Close’s matches.

In this kind of situation, what would Close do?

How would Close kill Kim Sung-hyun with a hidden thief?

Close would definitely be able to do it.

He could too!

He’d taken over Close’s jungler position, and he would definitely never let him down!

The late stage team fight was on the verge of breaking out at any time.

Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle tried their best to perform long-distance harassment. Bai Cai remained by their side to protect them, replenishing their health and blocking the other side’s skills.

Close held back Pro’s devil warrior and power thief who were attempting to sneak in close.

These two or three minutes of tug of war made people not even dare to blink.

Countless people’s hearts had risen up to their throats as they waited for the final result.

Lu Feng: “Opportunity.”

At the moment when he began to speak, Wei Xiao had already started moving.

The timing was fleeting, and he couldn’t miss this opportunity that his teammates had been fighting for.

Pro’s support used his control skill, and the devil warrior’s highest amount of DPS landed on Lu Feng’s body. The power thief moved forward, and Kim Sung-hyun only had one sword mage beside him.

Wei Xiao went into stealth. The blood all over his body was boiling, but his fingers were incredibly stable.

No mistakes. He couldn’t expose himself and couldn’t let himself be detected by Kim Sung-hyun.

Kim Sung-hyun: “Hidden thief!”

He couldn’t see anything, but he could feel it.

Intuition told him that the damned stinky brat was about to gank him.

Their actions were faster than their words. Pro’s sword mage came up to block in front of him, opening up its ultimate move without hesitation. Countless light swords swept across, forming a dense sword wall.

Wei Xiao couldn’t allow himself to be hit. The sword mage’s late stage damage had exploded, and it would only take four or five swords at most to kill him.

Avoiding the light swords meant that he would have to stay away from Kim Sung-hyun.

Park Guizhi was already in the process of coming back, and Pro’s support’s control skill was about to finish its cooldown.

If he missed this second, then FTW could only wait to be destroyed in the team fight!

His heart pounded, and there were goosebumps on his arms.

Wei Xiao felt more calm than ever before.

All sounds were gone, his thoughts were empty, and the only thing in front of him was the pale and thin figure of the ghost hunter.

There were gaps between the light swords.

Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to avoid.

However, Wei Xiao stared fixedly at the gaps…

His movement speed was much faster than that of the sword mage. He could see through the sword mage’s position, and as long as he kept up with the trajectory, there would be enough of a delay between the light swords!

He found it.

Wei Xiao rushed up against the light swords and nailed Kim Sung-hyun with a dart.

Kim Sung-hyun’s heart trembled, “F*ck!”

Wei Xiao’s lips curved. He landed a series of moves on Kim Sung-hyun, sending him into critical health in seconds.

Kim Sung-hyun: “I have resurrection armor. Kill the hidden thief!”

When he fell, Wei Xiao was also destroyed by the collective attacks.

However, while Kim Sung-hyun had resurrection armor, Wei Xiao had it too!

At the moment when he stood up again, Wei Xiao switched his resurrection armor for the invincible blade. After resisting a wave of damage, he hit Kim Sung-hyun again.

Kim Sung-hyun was no worse than he was. He’d switched to his invincible blade at the same time, blocking the fatal attack. He switched to his ghost form just in time, wanting to leave the battlefield.

Wei Xiao chuckled, “He fell for it.”

Kim Sung-hyun clearly couldn’t hear Wei Xiao’s voice. He obviously didn’t know what the brat had said, but when he looked at the hidden thief on the screen, he seemed to have heard it…

The divine warrior came down from the sky and stabbed the ghostly figure with a sword.

The light shattered the demonic aura, and the ghost figure was torn apart into black smoke by the divine warrior.

System Announcement––

FTW.Close killed Pro.Succe!

Kim Sung-hyun died.

He’d tried his best to escape the hidden thief’s assassination, but ended up dying beneath the divine warrior’s sword.

“F*ck!”

“Too cool!”

“Oh my god, did you guys see? The camera cut to Quiet’s face just now.”

“I saw it, I saw it. Too handsome. F*ck, there were stars in this little brother’s eyes!”

“The moment when Kim Sung-hyun turned into ghost form to escape, Quiet smiled.”

“That smile was too cool. When will there be a replay? This old lady could watch it a hundred times!”

“Amazing, FTW is amazing!”

Kim Sung-hyun had died, and Wei Xiao had fallen too.

However, FTW’s momentum rose up!

Yue Wenle stepped on his raindrops and flew over, rain arrows falling down from all over the sky. The sword mage was sent back to the resurrection crystal in seconds.

Ning Zhehan played out his control skills perfectly, freezing three people at the same time.

The divine warrior’s sword swept over and cut the three people down to half health.

System Announcement––

FTW.Le killed Pro.UU.

FTW.Le Killed Pro.Cui.

FTW.Le killed…

FTW.Le Quadrakill!

In this last wave, Yue Wenle used the storm hunter and got a Quadrakill!

Pro was wiped out.

FTW won the game.

The entire audience was full of cheers for this wonderful counterattack.

Chen Feng, who was famous for his cold aloofness, was so excited that he slapped Tang Chen’s thigh fiercely, his voice trembling, “They won! They won!!”

Tang Chen: “Ouch, ouch, they, they won.” His leg QAQ!

The domestic live broadcast room was even more excited.

The screen was full of the sentiment––FTW is amazing!

It seemed that this was the first time in three years that the fans didn’t know whether to say ‘Close is amazing’ or ‘FTW is amazing’.

Even though they’d won against an incomplete Pro.

Even though they’d only won a trivial points competition.

However, the dazzling light created by the five of them working together had become a brightness that lit up the hearts of countless fans in China.

They were eager to win, desperate to win, and looking forward to winning!

Amazing, FTW!

After the game, both sides shook hands.

Kim Sung-hyun held tight to Wei Xiao’s hand, “Great.” The words were squeezed out from between gritted teeth.

Wei Xiao’s smile spread across his entire face, “Ten days later, I’ll be waiting for the real Kim Sung-hyun.”

Kim Sung-hyun was stunned, and a smile appeared in his eyes, “Brat.”

They released their handshake. Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng, “See you later.”

Lu Feng’s calm black eyes flashed briefly, “See you later.”

They had once both been in the Team of Gods, been teammates and partners who fought shoulder to shoulder. Now, they were opponents!

See you later.

He would definitely win next time.

See you later.

Next time, he wouldn’t lose.

They were no longer teammates but were opponents who were worthy of respect!

They went back off-stage.

Yuan Ze smiled slightly, “Beautiful.”

Wei Xiao blocked in front of Lu Feng and raised his eyebrows, “Of course it’s more beautiful than your divine warrior.”

Yuan Ze spoke meaningfully, “I’m saying…”

Lu Feng dragged this kid away and pushed him into his seat, separating the two of them.

Yuan Ze: “……”

Wei Xiao poked his head out, “You don’t have to say it. My captain plays everything more beautifully than you do!”

Lu Feng blocked his view, “Didn’t you say you had to go to the washroom?”

Wei Xiao: “Oh, right!”

He got up and went to the other side to go to the washroom.

Yuan Ze tsked and said, “You’re protecting him so strictly?”

Lu Feng didn’t look at him, “You don’t understand.”

Yuan Ze: “???”

Lu Feng’s lips curled slightly, “You don’t have such a good child around. Of course you wouldn’t understand why I’m protecting him so strictly.”

Yuan Ze: “…………………” F*ck!

In the game just now, Wei Xiao had been the one to fall first in the last battle.

His screen had turned dark, but his mouth was still going strong.

The cold killer disappeared, to be replaced by FTW’s trash talk king, “Fellow brothers, hurry up, hurry up, I can’t hold it in anymore!”

Bai Cai: “……………”

Wei Xiao: “Shoot, shoot, shoot, Old Yue, hurry up, Laozi wants to go to the toilet!”

Yue Wenle almost died on the stage!

The heavens knew that Old Yue, who’d gotten a Quadrakill, wasn’t happy at all. He even felt a chill at the back of his neck that seemed to come from the divine warrior’s holy sword!

At the end of the game, Wei Xiao took his time slowly solving his physiological problems.

He hadn’t gone in for long when he heard a conversation outside.

It was Kim Sung-hyun’s voice, speaking Korean.

Wei Xiao’s English wasn’t bad, but his Korean wasn’t very good. He’d heard little sisters call out ‘Oppa’ when he was studying, but he didn’t understand anything else.

The competition committee provided headphones for simultaneous translation.

However, this kind of thing…

It’s accuracy was extremely poor. Nobody wore it except as a last resort.

How could Wei Xiao be wearing that kind of thing when he went to the toilet? And even if he’d been wearing it, it wasn’t something he should listen to. For this kind of situation, if it was avoidable, he wouldn’t listen if he had any choice.

So, he didn’t understand what the other two were talking about.

What he could be certain of was that one person was Kim Sung-hyun while the other was Li Heran.

Wei Xiao wanted to go out, but he heard Kim Sung-hyun’s voice get louder, and he seemed very angry.

“……” This was embarrassing.

He’d just hammered Proud Flower Kim flat on the stage, and now he’d run into him having a fight.

Um……

Wei Xiao could only hold back and wait to go out later.

Although he didn’t know what the two of them were arguing about, Wei Xiao knew a little about Kim Sung-hyun and Li Heran’s situation.

Back then, it seemed that Kim Sung-hyun had been sold to FTW because of Li Heran.

He didn’t know exactly what had happened and only knew that Kim Sung-hyun had gone back to Korea after FTW gained prominence. The first thing he did when he went back home was find Li Heran.

But, back then…

Li Heran was about to retire.

Marksman was the position that took the heaviest toll on the body.

Killing soldiers was easy to talk about, but wasn’t easy in execution.

The right hand had to click the mouse continuously. Even a robot would end up with problems, not to mention a human hand.

Li Heran had been unstable for an entire season, and the former first marksman fell to the bottom.

Kim Sung-hyun had gone to find him, pulled him back up, and took him into Pro.

After that, Li Heran switched to the support position, and Kim Sung-hyun became the marksman.

It was said that when the two of them had first made their debut, Li Heran had been a marksman while Kim Sung-hyun played the mid-lane mage position.

Their double-core combination had been explosively powerful, and the entire team did very well.

Later on, Kim Sung-hyun went to China and switched to the marksman position.

As of now, Li Heran had switched to support.

After going around and around, the Pro team that had finally been broken in with much difficulty was now facing a new disaster.

How long could Li Heran last?

Could he hold on until they won the world championship?

Wei Xiao was in a trance.

An absurd idea suddenly floated up.

If the captain was like Li Heran… what should he do?

This indescribable fear almost stopped Wei Xiao’s heart. His nose grew sour and his eyes turned red.

He didn’t dare to think about it.

He didn’t dare to think about it at all.

Wei Xiao clenched his fists and pressed down hard, as though trying to crush the pain that wanted to shatter his heart.
