Vol 1 Chapter 35 (1/2)

Book 1: Chapter 35

The big screen was live broadcasting the game.  Both of them began to methodically build their base.

They had played against each other before, so they knew more or less the other’s strategies.

“Grunt’s ranking is very high on Battle.net; he’s been in diamond league for quite a long time.  Where he mainly battles with Korean professional Starcraft II players.”  Baona gave a detailed explanation and even began giving background information.  “When most of the Starcraft I players are still waiting to see how the compet.i.tive environment for Starcraft II will develop, Grunt was already the only Chinese player among the top six on Battle.net.”

Ai Qing knew Grunt was strong, but didn’t expect him to be this strong.

Then…...what’s Solo’s ranking?

On the stage, Solo’s face was illuminated by the screen.  Compared to Grunt’s powerful presence, Solo always gave the feeling of a calm sea before the storm arrived.

No matter how tumultuous next second would be, the moment before was always calm.

A calm that made others uneasy.

“As for Solo.”  Baona suddenly smiled with confidence.  “He never plays ladder on Battle.net, rather he schedules matches with others.  Don’t worry about his ranking.”

Ai Qing simply responded with “en.”

On the screen, a fierce battle erupted and soon skirmishes broke out across the map.

The blood of Solo’s Zerg dyed the battleground red; they kept killing but couldn’t stop the Terran marines ......

When the resources at two of Solo’s three bases ran out, even Ai Qing who wasn’t a Starcraft II player knew that Solo’s resources were exhausted by now.  Without a new source of resources, he would no longer be able to fight.

She nervously looked at Solo, but couldn’t see his expression because of the reflection on his gla.s.ses.
