Chapter 209 - Mu Sheng Proves Everyone Wrong
For time immemorial, the gaming industry was a man's world.
It was almost unheard of for a woman to participate in a professional gaming competition, and there were no women coming up tops in server rankings either.
Hence, everyone in the gaming circles felt women were simply a burden.
The moment they unexpectedly saw a woman sign up for the World Gaming Masters, and a stunning one no less, everyone in the gaming circles talked about it. Also, they were particularly harsh with their words.
[China is such a joke. Hahaha! Do they have no other gamers? Did they have to let a woman fight their battles?]
[Haven't you heard? The Chinese are useless. Since the men are useless, they had to send a woman. I must say she is very pretty. If she ends up crying from losing, I am waiting with open arms to comfort her.]
[Tsk tsk tsk. This young woman is unbelievable. Is she someone's mistress? Was she sent to the gaming competition just for fun?]
Mu Sheng's fans were infuriated when news reached home.
Although they did not feel Mu Sheng could come in champion, they could not take it lying down when Mu Sheng got insulted by these foreigners.
A lot of fans used VPN to access the international internet to argue with these naysayers from abroad.
However, there were so many people that it was futile.
Everyone's account ended up frozen as well.
Everyone burned with indignance when the international gaming world kept ridiculing the Chinese gaming industry and humiliating Mu Sheng because she was a woman.
However, there was nothing they could do about it.
Since there were a lot of teams, they had to battle it out and get eliminated.
All 50 teams would battle, and only 15 teams would move to the next stage. 15 teams would get eliminated down to 5. The last 5 teams battled for the top three spots.
The number one American and Korean teams had also signed up for the World Gaming Masters, so it was a battle between the most legendary teams.
After mocking Mu Sheng briefly, the overseas viewers quickly turned their attention to the battles between the other gaming teams. People stopped paying attention to some Chinese girl who paid her way to get here.
Everyone was bewildered when they saw the top 15 teams who came out on top at the end of the first day.
Why hadn't MS Gaming Squad gotten eliminated yet? How could it move to the next level with a burden like Mu Sheng on the team?
Someone explained: [Isn't the Hero of the Universe a gaming champion? If he could not even make it into the top 15, what's the point of signing up?]
Everyone felt the same way. After all, Han Yu was a world-renowned champion gamer.
Since there were a lot of matches on the first day, it was not available for viewing on the live telecast.
On the second day, 15 teams battled it out until only 5 teams remained. Also, it could be viewed online.
First thing in the morning, everyone waited at the official live telecast channel.
[Here I am. I am here to see how Hero of the Universe's stupid teammates are going to burden him. Hahaha!]
[GL Gaming Team has gotten into the top 15. I can't believe two of our teams signed up for World Gaming Masters. Does this mean there is hope for one of our teams to come in the top three?]
[Are you sleeping or something? GL Gaming Team can only come in the top five at best. How could MS Gaming Squad even make it to the top five? I tell you. I am sure that America, Korea, and France will come in the top three for sure.]
The viewers kept talking about the competition online.
Meanwhile, at the competition venue. All the teams were ready and the cameras were rolling.
There was a huge screen in the center of the stage showing every gamers' and teams' results.
Half a minute after the match started, someone took out the first kill, so the viewers checked out the score excitedly.
Did Mu Sheng have the first kill?
Could Han Yu game a little more seriously? How could he give Mu Sheng the chance to show off at such an important gaming event?
The commentator appearing on the screen started to explain Mu Sheng's maneuver.
However, the audience was incapable of paying attention to the host.
All eyes turned to Mu Sheng's face that appeared on the screen.
MS Gaming Squad came dressed in a team uniform for the competition.
Their team name was printed in white on their black minimalistic sportswear.
Mu Sheng wore the black team jacket over her white T-shirt. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows to reveal her flawless hands.
Mu Sheng had her earphones on as she aimed at her opponents with a serious look on her face. Mu Sheng's eyes were narrowed, and her thick curly eyelashes could be seen from her cool profile. She was a stunning beauty through and through.
[Well… I can't blame Han Yu for giving her the kill. To be honest, I would do the same if I were gaming with such a hottie.]
[Nonsense. If that is all you can think of, then keep your horniness to yourself, will you? This is a gaming competition. If all she needed were a pretty face… Omigod! She is gorgeous. I don't mind giving her the kill either.]
The comments on the screen quickly turned obscene.
Everyone kept discussing Mu Sheng's pretty face as they excitedly watched the teams battle it out.
No one could be bothered paying attention to MS Gaming Squad's gaming technique. After all, Mu Sheng was just a woman and a pretty face. How could she possibly game well?
The audience was dumbstruck when the organizers announced the five gaming teams who had made it into the finals at midday.
Other than the hot favorites, such as America, Korea, France, and England, one underdog team had made it.
It was none other than MS Gaming Squad.
Despite everyone's hopes and high expectations, GL Gaming Team was already eliminated in the first round.
It was an absolute bombshell. What on earth happened?
All the viewers quickly checked out MS Gaming Squad's gaming footage and were blown away by their performance. They did not lose a single battle.
Also, Mu Sheng was an absolute gaming god!
All the overseas viewers were stunned at the sight.
She was also the talk of the town back home, but everyone was talking about a post by Midsummer's Night on social media.
The agency had posted nine pictures of Mu Sheng of her gaming at the World Gaming Masters.
Tang Tiantian finally knew why Jiang Tian was willing to spend top dollar hiring a professional photographer for Mu Sheng.
The professional photographer was capable of capturing Mu Sheng's coolness and stunning beauty perfectly.
