The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 25

Chapter 25

Point B was located in the corner with the highest concentration of shipping containers by the seaside. Next to it was an abandoned ferry. The interior of the ship was inaccessible, but the deck and top were accessible. There was a lot of debris on the ship, often hiding campers waiting to ambush people.

With the experience of struggling to survive at Point A, Yuan Shaofeng was mentally prepared from the start to not receive a single drop of healing this round. Even the commentators felt that TWG, having tasted success, would continue using the strategy.

But unexpectedly, Xu Ziyan didn’t flank the enemy backline right at the start like in the previous round. Instead, he stood on top of a shipping container with Bai Ke. This container was different from the others; it was right next to another container laid sideways with its doors open, allowing people to hide inside.

Bai Ke stood outside sniping, while Xu Ziyan crouched inside the container. clearly in the backline, yet not healing anyone, putting on a full display of waiting for prey.

Because the entertainment effect at Point A was strong, the director gave face. Even though Xu Ziyan was just squatting there doing nothing, the camera kept cutting to him wildly.

Commentator C threw the difficult question to Commentator D. “D, tell us, what is TWG’s tactic this round?”

Commentator D smiled and said, “I don’t know if the audience noticed, but FTK only has one Assaulter left on the frontal line?”

Following his words, the spectator view switched to God’s perspective. Under the markers, everyone could clearly see that FTK indeed had only one Assaulter left on the front, while the other Assaulter had unknowingly sneaked to TWG’s backline.

“FTK won’t sit and wait for death. They assume Ice will flank their backline ahead of time like at Point A. Therefore, they default to letting the front line withstand pressure from the start, while the Assaulter cuts down KK, directly preventing the Medic from controlling the backline for the sniper to harvest.”

“This idea is good, but…”

The idea was good, but Xu Ziyan had long anticipated this situation and was waiting beside the shipping container ahead of time.

In the second half of the game, both sides were actually racing against time. On TWG’s side, Xu Ziyan intentionally hid, leaving the front line without Medic protection; one mistake could lead to the death of both Assaulters. On FTK’s side, worried their backline would be cut again, they were anxious to come over and crush KK first.

Xu Ziyan didn’t make a move, so in reality, FTK only needed to stay calm to win.

But they chose not to wait, but to take the initiative.

Anyone could understand this psychology; leaving one’s fate in the hands of others was simply too uncomfortable.

Xu Ziyan happened to seize this psychology. The moment the Assaulter climbed onto the shipping container, a taser shot cleanly froze the Assaulter in place.

FTK’s Assaulter was startled and shouted in the voice channel, “—Their Medic didn’t leave at all!”

However, it was too late. Bai Ke turned around, cleanly picking off the immobilized Assaulter’s head, pulled the bolt to reload, suddenly stood up straight, and fired another shot, sniping the other Assaulter at the very front who was fighting with Yuan Shaofeng and Meng Cang.

FTK’s sniper reacted quickly and also sniped Bai Ke, who was exposed.

However, having lost their front line, the point could no longer be defended.

Point B was captured. TWG won the first round, leading 1-0 for now.

“Nice.” Bai Ke stood up and high-fived Xu Ziyan, joking, “As expected of Ice. Should we call you God Ice from now on?”

Xu Ziyan laughed loudly. “God K praises me too much.”

When Xu Ziyan first heard the new strategy Bai Ke proposed that day, he felt it was truly too insidious. Fortunately, he wasn’t an upright person either; while agreeing, he even proposed various ideas on how to perfect the strategy.

When two bad seeds get together, they can always come up with something even worse.

Yuan Shaofeng, who had been chased and beaten for a whole round, was physically and mentally exhausted. Thinking that this was a best-of-three match, his head spun, praying only to win the next round smoothly so he wouldn’t suffer another round of torture.

Meng Cang, who was equally tormented, watched the retreating backs of the team’s Sniper and Medic walking together and said, “One plus one is greater than two.”

Yuan Shaofeng said, “There is no most insidious, only more insidious.”

He turned to Meng Cang and said, “Are all Snipers and Medics like this? That’s not right; I see God Xie is very steady and upright…”

Meng Cang said, “One more round. Fighting.”

Yuan Shaofeng said, “If we lose the next round, we have to play one more.”

Seeing Meng Cang looking at him faintly, Yuan Shaofeng shuddered and hurriedly said, “No, we must secure the next victory. I’ll really die if I play one more round.”

So at this moment, due to the shift in pressure bearing, the desire to win among the TWG Second String members reached an unprecedented high.

Second round, offense and defense swap. Same map. TWG defending, FTK attacking.

This round, FTK completely learned their lesson, directly assigning the Medic to protect the Sniper. Less healing was fine; keeping the Sniper alive was the top priority.

However, TWG went the opposite way. While the opponent put up an unusual posture, they attacked properly and conventionally instead.

Xu Ziyan swapped healing bottles for armor packs, throwing armor while healing. Yuan Shaofeng and Meng Cang, having been aggrieved for a whole round earlier, finally received healing. Coupled with the genuine desire not to play a third round, their playstyle was more than a little fiercer than before.

FTK couldn’t break through for a long time. Seeing that they couldn’t even take Point A, they steeled their hearts and sent the Medic to the front line again.

However, as if seeing through their thoughts, the moment the Medic left, Xu Ziyan sneaked up to FTK’s Sniper’s position. A familiar combo of taser plus snipe secured the kill.

This time FTK was prepared. Xu Ziyan couldn’t retreat unscathed again, his life claimed by the Assaulter arriving from behind.

Trading a Medic for a Sniper wasn’t actually profitable. However, Rania Harbor was a Sniper’s Heaven map. No longer needing to worry about the enemy sniper, and with the Assaulter far away having killed Xu Ziyan, Bai Ke had no worries behind him and stood on the high ground sniping freely. At this moment, standing on the crane tower, he was more of a god of war than a god of war—one shot, one kill—directly securing a team wipe against FTK.

Countdown ended. FTK’s attack failed.

TWG secured the victory with the posture of an absolute powerhouse.

Once the match result came out, the internet instantly exploded.

FTK was the champion of the last secondary league. Even if they lost, how could they lose so fragiley? From this match, it seemed FTK was like a helpless child in front of TWG. From tactics to coordination, they were completely played in the palm of TWG’s hand.

Especially the coordination and various strategies between the Sniper and Medic, which made people’s eyes light up while unable to stop applauding.

For a time, countless praises poured in.

Taking advantage of the break back in the lounge, Bai Ke glanced at his phone. Seeing the comments under Weibo, he sneered, “This guy said last time that a sniper rifle in my hands was less useful than going home to plow fields, and now he’s changed his face.”

After cursing, his finger moved, blocking that ID.

Xu Ziyan also scrolled through his Weibo. He gained a lot of followers, and many people left comments praising him. However, what made him uncomfortable was that these people weren’t just praising him but also dragging down Qu Qingyue, who performed poorly in the last match, saying that rather than letting Qingyue play in the First String, it would be better to lift Ice directly to the First String—at least the loss wouldn’t be so ugly.

Seeing his bad expression, Bai Ke leaned over to look at his screen, smiled knowingly, and patted Xu Ziyan’s shoulder. “What do you think?”

Xu Ziyan asked, “Think what?”

“What this person said,” Bai Ke lifted his chin toward Xu Ziyan’s phone. “He said you should be the First String Medic. What do you think?”

Xu Ziyan found it absurd and laughed. “Qingyue has two world championships in her hands. How could I possibly compare to her?”

Bai Ke looked at him with a smile. “Then do you not want to enter the First String and become a starting healer?”

Xu Ziyan paused instantly.

How could I not want to?

The reason he stood here, the reason he joined TWG, was to enter the First String and stand beside Xie Wei.

For a long time, he had been working toward this direction, never wavering, trying his best to overcome any obstacles encountered.

But the matter Bai Ke raised was something Xu Ziyan had never thought about.

There was only one Medic slot in TWG’s First String. This meant that to enter the First String, he had to be stronger than Qu Qingyue, then squeeze Qu Qingyue out of her position and replace her.

Qu Qingyue held two World Championship trophies and had won the Spring Split MVP trophy. The honors she received were unique among all Medics.

When he first started playing Resist, Xu Ziyan learned Medic bit by bit by watching her stream. Even now, he sometimes watched Qu Qingyue’s replays and match perspectives to learn some detail handling. In his heart, Xu Ziyan vaguely regarded Qu Qingyue as a senior teacher.

But now, he had to aim to defeat Qu Qingyue and surpass her?

Xu Ziyan was a bit dazed for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Bai Ke found it somewhat amusing. “You haven’t really never thought about this, have you?” He paused, a strange smile appearing on his face again. “If you haven’t, you really have to think about it now. Because in my opinion, your entry into the First String is practically set in stone.”

Xu Ziyan was stunned hearing this. He wanted to ask more, but Lu Donglou pushed the door open and walked in at this moment, saying to them, “Ice, KK, come for the post-match interview.”

“…”

Xu Ziyan had to swallow his doubts and went out with Bai Ke to accept the interview.

The interview content was relatively simple, asking some things about the new strategies and a few personal questions, then it ended.

On the way back, Xu Ziyan thought about it and didn’t bring up that topic again. But Bai Ke’s confident and certain appearance when he spoke was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Xu Ziyan turned his head to look at the busy traffic outside the car window. The night was deep, and the city’s neon lights were increasingly brilliant. Looking at this beautiful night view, he secretly made up his mind.

I need to become stronger.
