The eSports King’s Crush

Chapter 120: The Match Begins, Assassin Position

“Who does he think he is? How dare he tell me to enjoy the first three minutes of the game!” Chen Yu kicked a beverage can after returning to their waiting room. His eyes were filled with hostility.

On the other hand, Lu Yifan seemed to be lost in thought. “Has his hand recovered?”

“There’s a possibility.” Chen Yu became even testier when he thought of that. “I thought we shouldn’t have any problems after reaching that state. I didn’t expect that he could still recover. Mo Nan really seems like he has nine lives.”

Lu Yifan did not make any comments regarding this matter.

Chen Yu looked over. “It’s really odd. How exactly did that fellow figure it out? That competition…”

“Everyone would figure it out after losing everything.” Lu Yifan stood up. “Do you think these things are important?”

Chen Yu sneered. “Of course not. What’s important is making sure he’s completely ruined before he starts competing officially. I feel uncomfortable at the thought that there’s such a person in the scene. It makes me want to curse at him every day.”

“You’d better think about how to play well during your competition.” Lu Yifan shot a look at him. “The National Preliminaries will be starting soon. Mr. Wang also hopes that you’ll be able to get some good results.”

Chen Yu said with a smile, “Brother Lu is still a more reliable person. Uncle has picked the right person. Of all people, Mo Nan had to get in our way. Even if his hand has recovered, given Brother Lu’s understanding of him, it should be very easy to beat Mo Nan, right?”

“What do you think?” Lu Yifan replied with another question. The confident expression on his face said it all.

At 9:20 am, the 10-minute countdown to the competition began at the venue.

When it came to a friendly competition, the venue used wouldn’t be too big.

Thus, there was also a limited number of spectators.

Most fans would spectate the competition through a live-stream if they were interested.

However, compared to the National Preliminaries, there were much fewer clicks.

Therefore, letting some popular players make an appearance at suitable moments became the highlight of the live-stream.

Initially, the organizing committee had thought that King would play at least one match, no matter what. Who knew that the player who would play the assassin position would directly get swapped to Mo Nan this time?

This would really affect the views.

Fortunately, Dark Flares also compromised in the end and sent Panda along.

Once this news was released, an evident increase in the stats could be seen.

This also caused this friendly competition to receive the ultimate attention.

“There are lots of spectators here to watch the live-stream today. It seems like everyone has really been anticipating this competition.” The two male shoutcasters also took on the role of the emcees as usual. “Alright, let us invite the two battle teams competing today!”

Very quickly, the image of the players seated before the computers appeared on the screen.

Of course, the cameraman gave most of the screen time to Panda.

Other than Panda, Chen Yu and Lu Yifan were also there.

The comments started flying on the screen. “Hmm? Did I see wrong?”

“Almighty Lu is present too?”

“He’s here as the pre-match guide. It was stated in the advance notice.”

“That makes things hard for Dark Flares. Chen Yu is not bad either. I’ve watched his competitions before. Taking into account Almighty Lu’s guidance, Lord Panda must really hang in there.”

“This isn’t about whether Lord Panda can hang in there or not. Panda is a middle-lane mage, so he wouldn’t be going against Chen Yu. Shouldn’t this depend on how the assassin plays?”

“The assassin? Don’t even talk about it. Could an assassin played by Mo Nan be sightly? Remember that last match? There ought to be people who still remember. Zero made six kills by completely relying on his teammates to hold things up. I really don’t understand why Dark Flares is letting him play the assassin position.”

“Where did you guys hear that Mo Nan would be playing assassin? This must be a joke.”

Suddenly, a screen sound effect was heard.

It was the sound of a role being locked in.
