Chapter 119 - I Forgot (2/2)

“What maps are we playing on tonight?” Just as they were about to leave, Liu Hao suddenly asked this question.

Zhang Jiaxing almost crashed to the floor. He hastily supported himself with a chair. The vice-captain didn’t even know what maps they were going to be playing on. Just how distracted was he!

That night, Glory League’s 21st Match began. The home Team Excellent Era faced against the visiting Team Blue Rain. As before, it became compet.i.tion night in Happy Internet Cafe and business boomed.

Team Blue Rain couldn’t be compared to 301. Blue Rain was currently in second place. Their spot in the playoffs didn’t need to be worried about; they were one of the most popular contestants for the Champion t.i.tle. Compared to the second to last place Excellent Era, the difference between them was simply like heaven and earth. Excellent Era had changed their rosters. And in their second match with a new roster, they would face against such a strong opponent. It would be a big challenge for them.

Chen Guo was once again sitting in her usual spot, while Ye Xiu was once again leaning on the door and smoking. And Tang Rou, who now took Glory seriously, specially ran over to watch the highest level of play in Glory, a pro match.

As before, the match was split into three parts: individual, group and team compet.i.tion.

Excellent Era was the home team. Utilizing their advantage of knowing the maps, Excellent Era won two of the three individual matches. Happy Internet Cafe jumped about in joy.

Next up was the Group Arena. This time, unlike 301, Blue Rain wouldn’t be so hesitant against Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf. Blue River’s trump card was Huang Shaotian. He didn’t lose to Sun Xiang in skill and was more experienced than Sun Xiang. In addition, his character Troubling Rain was on the same level as the Battle G.o.d One Autumn Leaf.

In the end, in this Group Arena, both teams put their trump cards in the third position as the anchor. Relying on their home team advantage, Excellent Era started off well and stayed ahead all the way until Blue Rain’s Huang Shaotian came out. Then, the situation reversed. After slas.h.i.+ng down two of Excellent Era’s pro players, still with ⅘ of his health, he met Sun Xiang’s One Autumn Leaf head-on. In the end, he still obtained victory. In the Group Arena, Team Blue Rain won 2 points. Happy Internet Cafe fell into silence.

“In this Group Arena, both teams played well, but in the end, Huang Shaotian was still better and took advantage of every opening there was.” In the broadcast, the host and the honored guest brilliantly commentated on the highlight reel in the Group Arena.

Finally, the team compet.i.tion began. Excellent Era took the initiative and had a good opening. The situation looked good, and the spectators at the Internet Cafe jumped in joy.

“Uh oh, a mistake…… this is a very serious mistake!!” The host suddenly yelled.

“Yeah…… Liu Hao, his performance today has been very poor!” The honored guest said.

“He also lost in the first match of the individual compet.i.tion.” The host said.

“But this mistake shouldn’t have happened. Liu Hao is completely out of it today.” The honored guest shook his head.

“We haven’t even finished talking about the first one and he makes yet another one……. that move……. ugh…….” The host was clearly a little speechless. He couldn’t find the right words to describe the situation.

“As a pro-player, that move was a little amateurish…….” The honored guest politely criticized.

“The situation had been reversed…….”

“How could Huang Shaotian let go of such a hole. Nice! Formless Phantom Sword, beautiful! The timing of Formless Phantom Sword was too good.” The honored guest shouted.

“Sun Xiang’s current momentum isn’t bad. But he’s still not as efficient and ruthless as Huang Shaotian!”

“However, we can still look forward to his growth.”

“This compet.i.tion……. how unfortunate for Excellent Era…….”

“Yeah, from the looks of it, unless Blue Rain makes several major mistakes in a row like how Liu Hao did, I don’t see a way.” The honored guest said.

“Yeah…….” The host once again had no words to say. Clearly, he wasn’t convinced of such a possibility.

“Okay……. in the end, Blue Rain won.” Finally, the host announced the victor.

“What a pity, what a pity……..” The honored guest sighed on behalf of Excellent Era.

Happy Internet Cafe was a sheet of silence. After a short moment, curses began to be thrown around. Right now, in the Happy Internet Cafe, Liu Hao was Glory’s unrivalled number one. He got the “special treatment”. Everyone, old and young, “paid their respects” to him. His huge mistakes caused them to lose the team compet.i.tion, which was enough to make the overwhelming majority of his fans to lose all reason. Some even went outside to pick up bricks, ready to revolt against Club Excellent Era across street from them.

“F*ck that piece of sh*t!!” Even Chen Guo looked down on him. At this moment, no one respected Liu Hao. Even his most faithful fans couldn’t justify him. His mistakes were just too ridiculous.

As before, Ye Xiu was still leaning on the door and puffing out clouds of smoke. Without a word, he watched as customers left in rage. Quite a few people really did run over to Club Excellent Era’s door and protest.

Club Excellent Era.

After the compet.i.tion ended, all of the pro-players silently sat in the resting room. No one said anything. Sun Xiang’s face was ashen. After savagely glaring at Liu Hao, he slammed the door and left.

The other pro-players gazed at each other in speechless dismay. They stealthily examined Liu Hao’s expression.

Liu Hao’s face was deathly pale. He obviously knew how serious his mistakes were. He even knew why those extremely serious mistakes were made. In the past few days, he truly was too unfocused. He spent way too much time on that Level 20 Berserker and wasn’t in the right mindset coming into the match. In the end, he had carried along a mindset of playing against Steamed Bun Invasion in the Arena as well as the Boneyard record coming into the match. How could he have done well?

“Liu, are we still setting the record for that whatever dungeon?” Shen Jian was also ready to leave. Only, he took the opportunity to quietly ask him when he pa.s.sed by Liu Hao.

“Set!” Liu Hao’s tone was fierce and determined. If he didn’t set it now, then there was nowhere else for his pent-up anger to explode.
