FOG [e-sport]

Chapter 125

Before the start of the FOG World Championship each year, in order to increase players’ enthusiasm for the matches, the league officials would launch a World Championships in-game prediction betting activity. Players could use their in-game coins to bet on the teams that they think would win. After the competition is over, the players who are lucky enough to bet on the winning team would receive their winnings in in-game coins based on the odds.

This year, this in-game activity began as soon as the teams who would be competing in the World Championships from each division was confirmed. To some extent, the total amount of in-game currency bet on each team also represented the popularity of each team to win the championships.

The ranking of the teams in the in-game activity has gradually stabilized as early as a week ago. The current top favorite to win the championships: The European division’s Sacred Sword team.

The second favorite to win the championships: The Chinese division’s Free team.

Since the establishment of the FOG League, this was the first time that the first and second favorites to win the championships were going to meet in the quarterfinals.

The moment when Yu Sui made the draw, it meant that one of the top two favorites to win this year will inevitably fall in the quarterfinals.

If not Free, then Sacred Sword.

Since its establishment, Sacred Sword Club’s worst record in the World Championship had been losses in the semi-finals.

The Free club had just been established this year and there was no historical record to trace. If Yu Sui’s personal performance would be taken into account, his worst record in the World Championships had been as a runner-up.

According to this data, the past performances of both sides were very impressive.

After this quarterfinal knockout, the loser will not only have to pack up and go home but they will also have a new record of their worst performance on the World Championships.

Top Eight, quarterfinals of the World Championships.

Before the start of the World Championship, everyone already expected that Free and Sacred Sword would have their fateful encounter that would give a final answer to their unfinished practice match at the beginning of the season.

But no one expected that the two parties would meet so early.

In the lounge of the stadium, Yu Sui had been asked by the staff member to go to the court to do the draw but the staff member himself had remained in the lounge.

According to regulations, when players were not accompanied by their team’s accompanying staff, the league staff members would accompany the lone player to serve as their interpreter and to show them the proper care.

The staff watched Yu Sui draw Sacred Sword’s name. He was shocked and his jaw dropped.

The two favorites to win the championships were going to meet already? Isn’t this too early? !

The staff felt both frightened and regretful for Yu Sui. They had been so lucky before, getting the precious first seed qualifying spot without a hitch. First seeded teams had an advantage in the quarterfinals since they would be matched up with one of the second seeded teams. The possibility of making it past the quarterfinals was quite high. But no one expected that Sacred Sword would be among the second seeded teams.

At this moment, the other first seeded teams were probably breathing out a sigh of relief. Yu Sui had managed to fish out this piranha in the pool of second seeded teams.
