"Bakit ang tagal ni Hunter? Anong oras na, magsisimula na ang laban," ani War.
I chatted him already and he wasn't responding. Hindi nag-deliver ang message kaya tinawagan na ni Knight pero patay na naman ang cellphone. There's only 20 minutes until the game starts.
It was only 5 minutes when he arrived. He immediately apologized as they were stuck in the traffic. His phone was dead too.
We will play against Abyss and we had no time to practice since yesterday. Our main practice was the game against Quantum.
"Are you okay?" tanong ko sa kanya dahil balot na balot siya. He's wearing a jacket when he don't usually wear it. We rarely use it.
We didn't talk yesterday dahil umuwi na rin agad sila. He calmed down after the game and he was just laughing after crying. He said he will beat Abyss today.
Tumingin siya sa akin at tumango. "Oo, malamig lang," sagot niya at ngumiti.
Lumabas na kami ng kwarto. Lyra introduced both teams and asked for a rebuttal. We just talked in the safest way to respect the top team. They respected us too and there's no clash yet in that segment.
I shook hands with Kuya Void and the other teams. We sat in our station and the drafting began.
Sev is extra quiet today. It's a sign that we have a chance to win today but it's also a sign that something is going on. Halos hindi na siya magsalita.
"Sev, what's your hero?" tanong ko sa kanya.
Tumingin siya sa akin at bumalik sa screen. "Uh, pwede ako mag Fanny kung available," sagot niya but Fanny was banned.
"Haya?" Coach asked. Haya was banned too.
"Lance po?" tanong niya.
He chose Lancelot as it was available. I'm just trying for to communicate. Tinatamad ba siyang magsalita o ayaw niyang magsalita?
I chose Novaria and Knight picked Melissa. Yours is Gatotkaca and War for Edith.
First game, we were ahead. We got the two turtles and Sev stole it from Shadow even though Shadow was controlling the turtles. He always does that. He always goes to make a retribution and all of his retribution are at least 90 percent successful.
He was able to kill Shadow for the first kill and we got a thousand leads. He's playing calmly and it's a good sign. I got the second kill from the second clash and the HPs of the opponents are low so they backed down.
First Lord dance, Sev managed to get it. A steal again. We were able to push in the middle lane with two towers and it's been only 9 minutes.
"Hinay lang 'Ter, baka mapasobra," War reminded him.
"Okay," sagot niya.
We all stepped back after they killed the Lord. We went back to our jobs. Clear waves, get creeps and buffs and push the towers in the side lanes.
Second Lord, they did not contest anymore and we got the Lord. Our lead was 4k and all of the towers were pushed except the three towers near base.
Abyss were able to defend their base so we stepped back again. Third Lord and they contested. A clash happened and I killed Kuya Void and Sev killed Shadow again. Knight was killed and Yours had low HP so they went back to the base. We got the third Lord and everyone stepped back.
War, Sev and I followed the Lord who went to the middle lane. We were able to push the last tower in the middle and we have a minion wave. Nakahabol si Yours at nawala na rin ang buhay ng base.
