The morning of Day 2 of the VPL Spring Season arrived, and the atmosphere at ROG headquarters was buzzing with energy. The highly anticipated match between Nightmare Revenants and DEX Club was set to unfold, a perfect opportunity to scout their competition. ROG had wrapped up their practice scrims, and now the entire team gathered in the lounge to watch the game, ready to analyze every move.
In the kitchen, Noel and Eryn were finishing up dinner with the help of Dalynn, who had stopped by after a long day at her café. The delicious aroma wafted through the air as they carried plates out to the lounge. "Dinner's ready!" Eryn announced, setting dishes on the table.
"Finally!" Jun Ming grinned, grabbing a plate. "Hope you two made enough. We'll need fuel to watch Nightmare Revenants get crushed."
Dalynn chuckled, nudging Noel. "I didn't think you guys would be this fired up just to watch Nightmare Revenants play."
Zaw smirked. "It's more about watching them fall apart. And if DEX Club's as sharp as they usually are, it's bound to be entertaining."
"And for our dear coaches and analyst, dinner is served!" As Noel handed Yamato, Maestro and Nami their dishes.
"Isn't it our jobs to take care of you?" They asked smiling.
"Yea, when we're in trainings. When it comes to down time, we take care of you." Grace promptly replied.
Once everyone had their food and settled in, the screen flashed on, showing the familiar faces of the VPL casters, Blackout and Colddanz. Their voices filled the room, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
"Welcome back to Day 2 of the VPL Spring Season!" Blackout's voice boomed through the speakers. "Today, we have an intense battle lined up between DEX Club and Nightmare Revenants. Who's ready for an all-out brawl?"
Colddanz added, "This match has serious implications. DEX Club's precision versus Nightmare Revenants' volatile aggression—only one team is walking away with a win today."
Charles leaned back on the couch, crossing his arms with a look of disdain. "Nightmare Revenants loves to talk big. Wonder if they'll choke as usual?"
Jun Ming laughed, picking at his food. "They'll get steamrolled. DEX Club doesn't let anyone breathe, especially when they're on a roll."
Nami and the coaches exchanged knowing glances but chose to stay quiet, intent on watching the game unfold. Noel, Eryn, and Dalynn finally joined them, sitting together on the couch with their plates, just as the draft phase started.
As the game began, both teams launched into aggressive plays, each trying to gain an early advantage. DEX Club moved swiftly through the jungle, while Nightmare Revenants countered with high-risk rotations. For a while, the game felt like an even standoff, both teams trading blows. ROG had their eyes glued to the screen while eating their dinner.
Midway through, DEX Club's Momo managed to land a devastating stun, catching Nightmare Revenants off guard.
"Whoa, Momo with the double stun!" Blackout exclaimed, his voice electric. "Nightmare Revenants has to pull back here, or they're going to get wiped!"
Grace leaned forward, narrowing her eyes. "They keep leaving their flanks open. All it takes is one stun to mess up their whole formation."
Another critical moment came when Breeze, Nightmare Revenants' Top Laner, attempted to tank the brunt of DEX Club's attacks. But Senshi, DEX Club's Jungler, danced around him effortlessly, dealing blow after blow.
Colddanz's voice turned sharp with excitement. "Senshi is just dancing around Breeze! Breeze can't land a hit, and Nightmare Revenants is falling apart in this fight!"
