Inside L&P’s training room, Old G was sad and angry, “Quiet, you’re f*cking with me!”

His own captain was indifferent and ruthless, like snow after the frost, sweeping across like an irresistible force, “Did you actually believe his words.”

Gary: “…………”

Don’t ask. If you ask, then he had already smashed himself dead against the keyboard!

On Pro’s side…

Kim Sung-hyun wasn’t as ‘silly and sweet’ as Old G. He’d noticed FTW’s scores soaring like a rocket a long time ago.

Why had Old G been able to win every game? It was because in the last half an hour, God Kim had given up on treatment.

What was the use of grabbing first place?

The stinky brat had already broken their agreement!

The scoreboard results came out, and Kim Sung-hyun’s expression was cold.

He looked very intimidating when he wasn’t smiling, especially with the tear mole on his face that made him appear even more pale and chilly.

Out of the entire team, only Li Heran dared to poke him, “Water.”

Kim Sung-hyun handed over the water cup, “It’s your fault!”

Li Heran: “……”

God Kim spoke very reasonably, “Our luck is only good when you and I double queue together!”

This afternoon, not to mention Wei Xiao, he hadn’t even met a single one of FTW’s players. If he’d encountered any of them, he would’ve definitely hammered them until they lost points in their next game too!

Did they want to stay steady in third place?

Had they asked the arrows in his hand for permission?

It was a pity that…

As only one half of the Koi combo, he was unable to get a luck buff.

The hearts of the teammates around him were full of complaints: Who was it who’d insisted on single queueing right from the start, saying that it would be faster to score points that way and not to waste time?

Li Heran was silent for a moment, “Okay, you’re right.”

Everyone in Pro: “…………”

Okay, the captain was really the captain. He was a true man who could stretch and bend!

Free matching was over. Dinner finished in a hurry, and the training camp ushered in that night’s points competition.

18 teams gathered together in one hall. The camera panned the scene, and the lineups were in no way inferior to that of any official match.

It was just that the audience wasn’t fans, it was other players from around the world.

The fans who were camped in the livestream room had started talking about it enthusiastically a long time ago!

“Sure enough, there was no suspense about the 1st and 2nd place.”

“L&P and Pro were very serious this time. Look at Yan Jiang and Xie He from Group B, they’re completely just playing around.”

“It’s really quite strange. The atmosphere in Group A is inexplicably heated, and all of them are trying desperately to grab points.”

“Based on the rules for the points competition, there’s no need to be so competitive in the early stages.”

“Exactly, exactly, it’s a bonus pool system. Isn’t it better to first wait and see?”

“I don’t get it…”

“Who cares? This year, our China competition zone is really making a good showing. Group A’s 3U and FTW are taking turns for third place, while Group B’s Moon God and Euro God are taking turns for second place!”

“Damn, did you guys watch the Group B points competition last night?”

“Yeah, yeah, our RR’s really damned cool! They went straight for an appointment with EVE!”

“Moon God took the immortal warlock and even took down EVE’s God Xie!”

“Although RR lost, I think that RR’s become really strong this year. They even made Xie He play seriously.”

“I feel that the four Chinese teams participating in winter training this year are all very inspiring. There’ll be a good show to watch in the domestic competition this year.”

“Aahhhh, I hope that this year’s China competition zone will make achievements in the global championships!”

The host spoke a few routine sentences, then began to announce the start of that day’s matches.

The first game was undoubtedly L&P’s. Old G went up onto the stage with a bad expression on his face, glaring at Wei Xiao the whole time.

Wei Xiao: “???”

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao was shameless enough to ask, “What’s up with Old G, is his eye twitching?”

Bai Cai disdained him, “Damned scum man.”

Wei Xiao suddenly saw the light, “Hey, isn’t this all for your sake? I even forgot about God G!”

Bai Cai inexplicably felt a chill run down his back and cursed, “Shut up, you!”

Lu Feng was seated to Wei Xiao’s left. He immediately turned to act coquettish, “Captain, Brother Vegetable is being mean to me!”

Lu Feng: “He’s right.”

Wei Xiao: “Eh?!”

Bai Cai wanted to change seats. It would be best if he was 800 meters away from them!

The disgruntled Gary had the right to choose a team for his team’s training match, but he wasn’t happy at all.

He was actually even angrier!

L&P chose the 4th place team.

Gary started to bombard the other side like crazy right from the start. His rhythm was fast enough to fly up into the sky, smashing the other side until their heads were bleeding.

Wei Xiao’s hands felt hot just watching it. He cursed, “Damn that Zhou Xingfei!”

If it hadn’t been for that scum, he would’ve been able to go up against Gary today.

Looking at Old G’s current state… it was a pity he’d missed out.

It had only been a short time, but when Bai Cai heard the name Zhou Xingfei, he was already extremely calm and even felt unusual pity and compassion for him.

He could’ve chosen to be anything, yet he chose to be a scum man. Just wait for his punishment to arrive!

L&P’s opening match stirred up the audience. They won without any suspense and pushed their own bonus pool to a new high.

One point was 1000 yuan. L&P’s bonus pool was now more than 300,000 yuan!

The points competition had finally started to snowball. If they continued on according to this schedule, the bonus pool on the last day would be extremely attractive!

The second game was Pro. The one who stepped up onto the stage first was their transparent, unnoticed jungler––he was quite a handsome young man, but he was often overlooked because of his quiet personality.

Kim Sung-hyun’s expression was ugly, looking neither left or right as he acted like the remote flower of Kaolin that he was known for.

The livestream room’s scrolling comments were full of screams. This face was very much to everyone’s tastes, and God Kim’s fans were spread out all over the world.

Pro chose to play against 3U, who’d tried their best and gotten 5th place.

3U had been very stable during this training period. Although they’d encountered some bad luck during the free matching and met with several difficult opponents, their score was still quite considerable, and they’d climbed up to 4th place. Despite not being able to take the initiative and pick an opponent to play against, there was still a great chance that they’d be chosen.

Like right now, they’d obtained the chance to play against Pro.

Wei Xiao was jealous again, “Asleep’s really good.”

Lu Feng whispered something to him in a low voice.

Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Really.”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

Wei Xiao: “Tonight…”

Lu Feng: “Once.”

Wei Xiao’s eyes curved into happy crescent moons, “Okay, okay, okay, once is once. Captain, you’re really great.”

Bai Cai, who was to the side, “…………”

Although he knew that they were definitely talking about solo, his brain inexplicably felt like it had gone to the gutter!

He wanted to switch seats ahhhhhh, it would be best if he could be seated outside the hotel!

Pro’s game against 3U was very fun to watch.

At first, it could be seen that Pro wasn’t taking it seriously. After all, last year’s 3U had made a round trip back home during the global championships, and they didn’t even have a chance to fight against the stronger teams.

Although 3U had played well against FTW yesterday, Asleep had been suppressed by Close the whole time and hadn’t been able to play well. It was very easy for them to overlook this sleepy new star.

But as soon as they entered the game, Kim Sung-hyun felt a sense of familiarity.

When Asleep’s thief snuck over, Kim Sung-hyun was in a trance and had the illusion that he’d been plotted against by Wei Xiao.

What was going on with the junglers from the China competition zone?

Had they all come together to become a pack of mad dogs this year?!

Asleep’s craziness wasn’t any weaker than Wei Xiao’s. With Cong Yi escorting him, he was even able to touch Kim Sung-hyun despite the latter being under Li Heran’s careful protection.

Kim Sung-hyun hadn’t used a flashy marksman like the storm hunter this time. He’d taken the launcher who was extremely powerful in the later stages. It had a long attack range, but it was very immobile. If there were any errors with positioning, it was practically the same as handing his head over for a kill.

The moment that Asleep was able to touch him, God Kim’s heart quivered.

The berserker thief’s scythe carved away over half of his health. If it hadn’t been for Li Heran’s resurrection totem, Kim Sung-hyun would have fallen!

Pro, who originally hadn’t been playing very seriously, became serious due to 3U’s fierce momentum.

Beneath the stage, Chen Feng spoke to the three little ones, “3U will be a strong opponent for us in the domestic competition this year.”

Although they’d won against 3U only yesterday, 3U’s captain Asleep had too much room for growth.

Last year, they’d already emerged as a strong team. This year, they were even more mature. Asleep had been pressured to death by Lu Feng yesterday and hadn’t been able to lead the rhythm for the team, which was why FTW had won.

However, as soon as Lu Feng wasn’t there, the number of junglers who could pressure Asleep across all of China could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

There was no doubting Wei Xiao’s personal strength. He could beat Asleep in solo games.

But when it came to experience with 5v5 games, Wei Xiao was a little short.

It was really difficult to say who would win or lose if it came to a game between the two of them.

Chen Feng continued, “3U’s current line-up really limits Pro.”

Not only were Asleep’s operations good, his mind was also unusually clear. It could be seen from this match that they were very ambitious.

This was definitely a line-up that they’d come up with after studying Pro thoroughly.

It was a little bit similar to L&P. They were both teams who took their junglers as their core, and even if Asleep wasn’t as good as Gary, he wasn’t far behind.

Coupled with Cong Yi’s support, it actually enhanced Asleep’s strength.

Chen Feng specifically pointed it out, “Do you see? This is a good support player’s ability.”

A good support was like the lubrication for a team. They could make up for their teammates’ deficiencies and allow them to play out 200% of their ability.

Bai Cai was watching very seriously.

Cong Yi’s group control and counterattack was something he still remembered.

It was a very wonderful game, even though 3U lost in the end.

The Kim Sung-hyun who was able to develop properly was too strong. Asleep and 3U’s top-laner hadn’t been able to get close to him at all in the later stages.

If they were unable to take down the other side’s ADC, then there was no way to win a group fight.

The settlement interface popped up. Kim Sung-hyun accounted for 46% of all the damage dealt, and it was a number that made everyone suck in a breath.

It was really incredible.

The world’s number one marksman had a well-deserved reputation.

Everyone around them were talking about Kim Sung-hyun. They were all shocked by his strength.

Only Lu Feng said something else, “Pay attention to Pro’s jungler.”

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows and marked something down on his notebook.

Tang Chen said, “This jungler was silent and unnoticed, but he managed to steadily hold back Asleep.”

3U had clearly taken a line-up that gave them an advantage against Pro and played very well, pressuring Kim Sung-hyun at the start of the game.

However, once the game entered the middle stages, the situation had begun to steadily grow one-sided.

Many people felt that it was because Kim Sung-hyun had started to take part in the group fights, allowing Pro’s advantage to gradually increase.

However, if they took a closer look, they would discover that there was something about Pro’s jungler.

His farm was low, his rhythm was slow, and he had a low sense of existence, but his play was stable.

It was so stable that it shocked people’s hearts and made their flesh feel numb.

Wei Xiao sucked in a light breath, “It really is a powerful team.”

Pro wasn’t labelled as a global powerhouse based on Kim Sung-hyun’s strength alone.

To be able to walk up onto that high up stage, all five people in Pro had to be very strong!

In a 5v5 competition, a single person was unable to get very far on their own.

It was finally FTW’s turn. Wei Xiao was clearly itching for a fight as he said, “Let’s go! Abuse those scum!”

Little Ning’s fighting spirit was charged full, “Okay!”

Bai Cai always felt that something wasn’t right. When they arrived up onto the stage, he finally realized: Oh, how come their temperament made them seem more villainous than that Garbage Zhou?!

There were two teams waiting to be called up beneath the stage.

One of them was naturally OD. They’d already done their preparations and were ready to go up and make some pocket money.

Who was the other team?

Of course it was the 6th team in the rankings.

Today’s 6th place was the Black Knights from the European competition zone. When they saw that FTW had come in 3rd, they’d held an emergency meeting.

Black Knight’s jungler: “FTW’s top-laner Quiet is a beast!”

He’d bumped into him while single queueing and had been torn to pieces alive!

The coach looked at the top-laner, “Try to resist the pressure. It’s enough to be able to hold him in place.”

Black Knight’s jungler became even more desperate, “I’m f*cking going up against Close.”

The coach comforted him again, “Don’t panic, just hold on!”

It was a five person team. Two of them could only hold on, and the rest of them…

This was the Black Knight’s strategy, “We just need to find an opening in the mid-lane and bottom lane, and we’ll be able to win the game!”

The Black Knights: “Yes!”

They’d formed such a careful plan and had made such a careful decision. The five people from Black Knights were full of fighting spirit.

They really wanted to see what was so good about this team, other than the great demon king, that made them so coveted by L&P and Pro!

The Black Knights, who’d done their mental preparations and were just waiting to be called up to the stage, “???”

The host was also slightly surprised, “OD?”

Had FTW submitted the wrong list?!

In the scoreboard, OD was ranked 10th. They were a team with negative points.

Although winning against a negative point team wouldn’t cause them to lose points, it also wouldn’t add anything to their score. What was the point in playing against them?

Not only was the host confused, the knights from the Black Knights team were also roaring: Why not choose us!?

What was up with this FTW? How come they didn’t play according to common sense?!

The audience that was watching the live broadcast were also wondering about this.

“What’s this situation? What kind of shady transaction is there between FTW and OD? Why are they making an appointment?”

“Is OD very strong? With all due respect, they aren’t even in the global top eight, right?”

“Is FTW scared of losing?”

“Oh yeah, if they go for a weak team, they’ll be able to keep their points as long as they don’t lose.”

“But, how can they guarantee that they’ll stay in the top three? They weren’t in the top three yesterday. When they accumulate a larger bonus pool, won’t it be even more miserable for them when they lose?”

“Don’t get it…”

“Inexplicable…”
