The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 67

Chapter 67

As the commentators announced the news of TWG’s substitution, the bullet comments in the livestream channel began to stir up a rhythm of negativity.

[Yuan is really no good. Too many mistakes. Does he deserve to compare his revolver to Propro’s with that performance?]

[My evaluation: I could do better.]

[That’s enough, alright? He’s a rookie. Can’t you give him a bit more tolerance? Besides, he adjusted his condition later on.]

[So what if he’s a rookie? If a rookie loses the match, does that mean they can’t be flamed?]

[How come your God Xiao didn’t make mistakes? He was just as cowardly.]

[Can’t feed as much as your daddy.]

For a moment, everyone was tearing into each other, scolding back and forth in a chaotic mess.

Both commentators had seen plenty of storms and were already incredibly familiar with such situations. To be precise, basically every match turned out like this.

Commentator C said, “After all, Yuan is still a rookie player. He only got promoted from the second string to the main team in the playoffs. He has little tournament experience, so nervousness on stage is human nature. Fortunately, his form returned later on—better late than never—reducing YNG’s time for the next attack to five minutes.”

“Swapping in Chen is also to give this young rookie some time to cool down. It shows that Yuan is also an indispensable strategic point for TWG,” Commentator D said very calmly. “Fans don’t need to be anxious. This is a BO5 match; the situation on the field changes in an instant, and anything is possible.”

Commentator C smiled. “That’s right. Alright, the break is over. The second showdown is about to begin.”

Unlike Yuan Shaofeng, Bai Chen was a veteran. His mentality had long since steadied, and he would absolutely not act impulsively on the field because of his personal feelings.

Jiang Yuxin had sharp eyes. He could tell that Yuan Shaofeng’s off condition was nine times out of ten related to a certain player on the opposing team. He didn’t know about Bai Chen and Bai Ke’s situation, but he knew Shen Xiao liked Qu Qingyue. Afraid Shen Xiao would follow in Yuan Shaofeng’s footsteps and throw a winning game, he nervously observed Shen Xiao’s expression.

There was no helping it. Shen Xiao didn’t have Xie Wei’s smoothness, nor did he have Bai Chen’s steadiness. His temper and personality were very straightforward. When he first joined the team, he practically worried Jiang Yuxin to death. As he grew older over the years, he improved somewhat, but a leopard can’t change its spots…

Unexpectedly, the current Shen Xiao showed no sign of being troubled by love. He leaned leisurely on the sofa, staring intently at his phone with a relaxed expression, occasionally giggling foolishly.

This is… he got over it?

Jiang Yuxin was puzzled but also relieved. Turning his head, he saw the other sofa. Captain Xie Wei, who in his mind had always been watertight and thorough, was covertly hugging his own Medic, whispering intimately with lips against his ear. His eyes and lips were full of smiles, giving Jiang Yuxin another heart blockage.

Yes, before this, Xie Wei had never trended so many times or caused so many issues requiring PR damage control because of personal problems.

But ever since Xu Ziyan appeared, everything changed.

His workload had increased geometrically.

Jiang Yuxin sighed deeply, persuading himself to let it go. One was his current cash cow, and the other was his future cash cow. Who could he blame? Better just work hard…

Game two. Bai Chen entered the field.

As soon as he entered, and with TWG being the attacking side, the entire team’s style took on a new look, becoming fierce.

Shen Xiao and Bai Chen were old partners. Knowing Bai Chen was there to cover him, Shen Xiao rushed forward exceptionally aggressively in this round. With sufficient frontline firepower combined with Xie Wei’s sniping, YNG couldn’t play any flanking tricks. They could only honestly stay on the point with all four members, just like TWG in the previous game, playing a pure offense-defense battle.

Xu Ziyan had been chased for three points in the last game; now it was finally his turn to flank.

However, the secondary weapon he carried wasn’t a healing bottle, but an armor pack.

“He probably considered the existence of the healing sniper rifle, so he no longer needs the healing bottle to top up the frontline. Plus, to improve his survivability while flanking, he carried the armor pack,” Commentator C said. “And after all, he’s diving backliners who don’t have armor bonuses. Even without the vulnerability effect, once rooted by the taser, God Xie’s snipe can guarantee a one-shot kill.”

Just as she said, throughout the match, Xu Ziyan relied on this armor pack to do as he pleased in YNG’s backline, more comfortable than in his own home.

Moreover, he didn’t dive Qu Qingyue, nor did he have any intention of finding her position. He rushed into the backline looking directly for Bai Ke.

Bai Ke’s reactions were considered fast. Several times he heard Xu Ziyan flanking and either jumped a wall to run or turned around for a quick scope. But with Xu Ziyan carrying an armor pack, even if Bai Ke used aimbot, he couldn’t insta-kill him. Once rooted, sometimes Xu Ziyan didn’t even do it to kill him, but purely to restrict him, preventing him from providing fire cover for his team.

Without the sniper’s interference, the remaining three members of TWG attacked the frontline like fish in water.

The escort target was pushed straight to the final checkpoint. Bai Ke was tired of cursing Xu Ziyan. Thinking surely this choke point won’t be dived, he still didn’t relax his vigilance, moving cautiously to the second floor.

Seeing this, Commentator C couldn’t help but laugh. “KK has to be cautious near his own spawn point, while Ice is so comfortable in someone else’s house. These two have really swapped positions.”

Commentator D added, “But his caution is correct because Ice didn’t leave at all. Instead, he boldly made a home right at the door of YNG’s safe zone! On the stage of the grand finals, with the team lagging in score, Ice still made such a bold choice. We have to admit, this is truly a player with nerves of steel!”

Bai Ke walked to the second floor and squatted very cautiously behind a pillar. TWG’s payload was getting closer and closer. He had to be even more careful. In this spot, no matter where Xie Wei was, it was absolutely impossible to hit him.

Originally, after tight practice during this period, he had great confidence. Even if he couldn’t win a sniper duel against Xie Wei, he could take potshots from other angles, coordinating with his team to hit the frontline directly so TWG couldn’t push up.

But Xu Ziyan’s move was dirtier than his. Bai Ke had originally come up with this tactic. Who knew karma would strike so unfailingly? The amount of torture he inflicted on others with this tactic back then was exactly how much pain he was in right now.

In the headset, Clear’s voice was pleasant and calm: “Chen is in the W direction, Seamy is at 75 degrees, Shining is at the clock tower. No position on Ice for now. Everyone watch out for snipers.”

Bai Ke said “OK,” but before the final sound ended, it turned into a curse word.

He was caught like crazy this game. Qu Qingyue, to guard against divers, hadn’t brought an armor pack, only a healing bottle and a pistol, so she couldn’t save him at all. Hearing this curse, she frowned. “Ice?”

Bai Ke looked at the Medic standing opposite him on the screen and completely lost his temper. “…He’s here with me. I’m rooted.”

The taser had a limited number of uses, and Xu Ziyan spent them all on him alone.

Qu Qingyue commanded without hesitation, “Hit TWG’s frontline.”

“YNG’s decision here is very decisive. After all, Ice is a long distance from TWG’s frontline.”

“But Ice isn’t afraid at all! He clearly anticipated this long ago. After controlling KK, he actually set up right next to him and started healing???”

“I’m healing my teammates inside your spawn point.”

“Wow, what a taunt.”

Whether it was taunting or not, the effect of this move was indeed very good. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. After rooting KK, no one bothered with Xu Ziyan’s healing. Moreover, on the second floor, the field of view was excellent. With a steady stream of support, Shen Xiao and Bai Chen soon turned YNG’s frontline into a mess.

Xie Wei stood directly on the broken bridge in front of the point and started sniping. Without Bai Ke’s restriction, his positioning became unscrupulous.

Soon, Bai Ke broke free from the control state. Xu Ziyan quickly applied an armor pack to himself, turned, and ran. Bai Ke, overcome with anger, landed two headshots and killed this bad thing.

However, YNG’s frontline was wiped out, and Xie Wei also picked off Bai Ke, who had popped his head out to snipe Xu Ziyan. The defeat was set. TWG took this round with five minutes remaining. They pulled back one game.

In the third game, YNG fought with their last breath, flanking frantically. They seized timing and opportunity points extremely well, forcefully pushing the payload into the point using just two minutes.

In the fourth game, TWG attacked, swapping Yuan back in. This time Bai Ke was prepared, but Xu Ziyan also changed strategies, using armor pack plus healing bottle to support the frontline directly. Qu Qingyue brought an armor pack, but in the face of the burst damage from Yuan Shaofeng’s revolver and Xie Wei’s sniping, she couldn’t save the two frontliners. Later, the strategy shifted to diving the backline, salvaging the situation a bit, but ultimately TWG still pushed the payload into the checkpoint.

The score arrived at 2-2. The most critical deciding game. YNG attacked, TWG defended.

Actually, this was equivalent to the match returning to the starting point, but the impact of the previous games on both sides was indelible.

Fifth game, the decider. TWG substituted again. Chen on, Seamy off.

Before the match started, Shen Xiao patted Yuan Shaofeng’s shoulder. “Leaving it to you.”

Yuan Shaofeng nodded heavily.

Because of his major blunder in the first game, he had been somewhat uneasy and guilty, but these feelings finally calmed down during the rest period of the two sub-rounds.

In the fourth game, he focused wholeheartedly on the match, no longer affected by those messy reasons. The result was also gratifying.

Now, with the most critical deciding game before him, Yuan Shaofeng secretly warned himself to settle his heart and focus on the game at hand.

Most TWG fans in the livestream channel didn’t trust this rookie at all. Seeing him replace Shen Xiao, they were even more dissatisfied. Although his performance in the fourth game lessened their scolding a bit, using a rookie—and one who had made major mistakes—in the deciding game caused public outrage. They cursed everyone from the TWG players to the management.

Some even claimed with certainty that TWG just wanted to lose.

But the result disappointed them.

In the final game, Xie Wei completely changed his previous strategy. He no longer sniped from high ground but acted as a frontline alongside Yuan Shaofeng. Bai Chen and Xu Ziyan flanked boldly. In the end, TWG defeated YNG 3-2, securing the final victory.
