Chapter 53 (1/2)

“Please stay, our staff has to tabulate your names and scores. That’s because there will be a professional caster during the finals who will give a basic introduction of each contestant,” the young caster walked over and said.

“Oh, okay.” The group nodded. Chen Mu guessed it was for the jokes. After all, the audience would not make much sense out of the tournament, ELO points would give them a better understanding. This person has 2000 points, that one has 2200. To most players who were of 1200 to 1500 ELO points, the display would be quite strong.

“Hey, this username doesn’t have a rank?” One of the staff asked.

“Yeah, I just reached Level 30, I haven’t played any ranked games,” Chen Mu said.

“So what should I write down?” The staff member was dumbfounded. Someone who had never played ranked games before managed to become the champion. The value of the tournament was for sure too low, perhaps none of the participants even knew how to play.

“Just write Level 30 then.” Chen Mu felt that he would have to play his ranked provisional matches soon. If not, he would not know which rank he belonged to.

“Okay then. Level 30, has never played ranked…” The staff member made a special note to prevent himself from being accused of not doing his job properly.

Right after, the group left. Chen Mu was questioned by Zhuo Xiaobai on the way. How did you get kills so easily, were the opponents that bad?

Chen Mu confirmed as much, the opponents did not know how to play around minion aggro. Their decision making was too direct shallow, always flashing only when they were about to die, so they died.

Zhuo Xiaobai nodded without stopping, putting his focus in remembering Chen Mu’s explanations of the various skills. His enthusiasm was not lower than when Chen Mu was in class.

“If you put as much effort in class, you could at the very least double your performance,” Chen Mu said.

“I’d like that too. Tell me how to get 140 in Maths. Are those questions even for humans? Why is this line parallel to that line, what has it got to do with me?” Zhuo Xiaobai rolled his eyes. Those maths questions he had faced seemed completely pointless.

“Hm… how to get 140 in the exams, just don’t do 2 multiple choice questions and you’ll get there,” Chen Mu said.

“…” Zhuo Xiaobai wanted to punch him. He took a deep breath to calm himself; they really did not operate on the same channel.

“Forget it, there’s a generation gap between us. I’m just going to go watch my championship finals.” Zhuo Xiaobai sat on the bus and pulled out his phone. He began to search for videos of the world championship.

“Who won?” Chen Mu asked as he sat down.

“I bet 100,000 it’s Korea!” Zhuo Xiaobai said.

“Are you that confident?” Chen Mu was curious. Did Zhuo Xiaobai not hate Korea the most, why did he suddenly support Korea so much?”

“It’s guaranteed because in the grand finals, both teams were from Koreans.” Lu Ren saw through Zhuo Xiaobai.

“Do the Koreans have an extra hand, why are they so strong?” Chen Mu said.

“E-sports is one of their country’s main industries. Starcraft is basically a game for Koreans, while Warcraft is still okay with a few decent Huaxia teams. As for first person shooters like CSGO, the Europeans and Americans are better. Huaxia has always dominated Crossfire championships. Each country has its own strengths,” Lu Ren said as he polished his glasses.

“How about Dungeon Fighter?” Chen Mu had not played the game in a long time but remembered playing the fighting game briefly.

“It’s being fought over between Chinese and Koreans, the Koreans have more champions,” Lu Ren said.

“You know a lot,” Chen Mu said.
