FOG [e-sport]

Chapter 131

The entire tournament management team always paid special attention to World Championship newcomers.

For Free’s three champion genius players, in the year that they first entered the World Championships not only did they win the overall honor as champion but they also broke some records and painted their own special colors on the World Championships with their own excellence.

For example, Whisper, when he entered the World Championships for the first time, he broke the record for the youngest player to become champion. He won three single-round MVPs during the finals that year. He was the youngest champion ever in the World Championships and he became the medic with the most MVP titles. He was hailed by the tournament management team as the player who performed the most magnificently and stunningly in their first World Championship appearance.

For another, Chen Huo, who also won the World Championship during his first year. The tournament management team officially hailed him as the most reckless player. He was always ready to stake everything. Even if he made mistakes, he would never cower in battle. The more chaotic the situation on the field, the better he performed.

For another, Puppy, who also won the World Championship during his first year. He was officially hailed as the most stable player of the year by the tournament management team. He was quite young at the time, but his play was exceptionally calm and mature, not at all impulsive or impatient.

Another example was Shi Luo this year.

Although the World Championship was just halfway through, Evil was recognized by the tournament management team as the most lunatic newcomer.

None of the data analysts in the management team paid any attention to Shi Luo’s grievances with Sacred Sword, nor did they have time to watch Shi Luo’s various post-match interviews. It was only from the data that they got the feeling that this newcomer was too greedy and tyrannical; his hungry predation of MVP titles in the group stage and the fact that he had the longest recorded personal training time before the quarterfinals (all the players’ in-game time was included in the official statistics). They deeply felt the ambition and madness of this newcomer.

The officials only thought that Evil, being a young player from a prestigious e-sports team, was ambitious and proud, eager to prove himself in his first World Championships.

Only a few insiders within the Free Club knew that from the very beginning, Shi Luo hadn’t actually been considering those things.

What Shi Shen wanted was not a beautiful victory for himself. What he wanted was to make his opponent’s loss as embarrassing as it could go.

And Shi Luo’s ability was indeed more than enough to see this ambition to fruition.

Shi Luo pushed and shoved his way through all the way to the quarterfinals. He played beautifully, his performance eye-catching and showy. His three champion teammates around him couldn’t hide his brilliance, as if he was born for the competition.

The countdown for the second round for the quarterfinals best of five started.

Shi Luo stared at the countdown on the map and suddenly said on the team’s voice chat, “You guys think...they’re panicking?”

The other three laughed out loud.

“Believe me.” Chen Huo moved his fingers, “Anyone who encountered our crazy style of play would panic.”

“Yu Sui and I might be lunatics but you two aren’t...You two are mad dogs. Who wouldn’t panic when they see a mad dog about to eat people?” Puppy slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, “... Actually, by the end of the last game, they’ve already figured out a way to deal with it. The overall strength of their coaching staff is stronger than ours... After all, they were last season’s champion coaching staff. They’ve definitely figured out a way to deal with it but no one knows just how effective it would be against us. We’ll need to counter their every move in this round. Yu Shen... It’s up to you. You better not to make any mistakes commanding this round.”
