E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Shen Xiao left the arena and was naturally given an earful in the lounge. He probably knew what was coming and listened obediently without refuting a single word.

After Yu Guangzhou finished scolding him, he took a sip of water to clear his throat and said, “Alright, you absolutely cannot mess around like that in the second half. The defense on this map must be stable! Did you hear me?”

Shen Xiao replied, “Yes—”

Yu Guangzhou then looked at Xie Wei, his tone softening considerably: “Xie Wei, how do you plan to defend the next round?”

Xie Wei clearly had an idea already. When asked, he glanced at Xu Ziyan, his tone playful: “I remember a match where TWG’s second team had the Medic flank and cooperate with the Sniper to cut off the backline.”

Since everyone wants to cut off the Medic, I’ll put my Medic in your backline. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. With one Assault Player flanking and another Assault Player holding the front, the enemy backline only has a Sniper and a Medic.

Yu Guangzhou had just told Shen Xiao to play steadily, only for Xie Wei to propose this unconventional idea, leaving him speechless. He turned to Xu Ziyan: “What does Ice think?”

Xu Ziyan blinked and said, “I think it’s viable. YNG’s two Assault Players are strong, but their Sniper and Medic haven’t been in great form recently.”

“…Fine.” Yu Guangzhou said, “But this also means our front line will have to fend for themselves.”

Bai Chen, because Bai Ke was on the second team, had witnessed the miserable state of Yuan Shaofeng and Meng Cang at the time. But Shen Xiao was clueless and looked genuinely confused for a moment: “The Medic going to the enemy backline to take out players? I trust Ice’s skill, but we haven’t practiced this strategy in scrims. Will it work if we pull it out now?”

The preparation time for the second match was about to end, and a staff member knocked on the door to remind them.

Xie Wei stood up, picked up his team jacket, and smiled at him: “Whether this strategy works or not depends on God Xiao.”

Shen Xiao had been sarcastic toward others all day, and suddenly being on the receiving end left him momentarily speechless. He nodded, signaling his agreement.

Bai Chen was indifferent. Yu Guangzhou said, “Good, that’s the plan. Let’s go, time to get on stage.”

TWG suddenly changing players was something that had virtually never happened in the past few years. Coupled with the recent uproar surrounding Xie Wei and Xu Ziyan, some fans who initially didn’t believe the rumors were now forced to accept the “facts” laid out before them.

Clear is off, Ice is on?? What is TWG thinking? Is the management crazy?

Laughable. I heard people say TWG gives special treatment, and I didn’t believe it at first, but now, hehe.

Ice is truly amazing. Straight from the Youth Training Camp to the second team, and from the second team straight to the first team. Even a rocket would be ashamed of that speed.

Isn’t TWG a major team? How can they pull off something like this?

Is it true? That’s Shining Xie Wei! Would he really get involved with an Omega??

I’m speechless. Why are there so many haters? Ice won the Rookie Cup right after debuting and performed well on the second team. He clearly has the skill, so why are people saying he relies on his body?

The person above, that argument might fly with other teams, but TWG’s Medic is Clear!

Politely asking, how many World Championship titles does Ice have?

“TWG making a substitution seems to be a first in recent seasons, doesn’t it?” Commentator A laughed. “It feels quite refreshing to see a new ID appear.”

Commentator B said, “Yes, I believe Ice left a deep impression on everyone during the last Rookie Cup. We look forward to his performance in an official match this time.”

Commentator A said, “Exactly. Alright, TWG versus YNG, the second round, the map is Ellie Park, Escort mission. YNG is the attacker, TWG is the defender. Both teams have entered the map, and preparation time is starting!”

The live camera moved, displaying the expressions of the eight players on screen one by one. The cheers in the venue were deafening. Xu Ziyan lowered his eyes, making final adjustments, his mind calm as still water.

In the previous map, Vinya Harbor, there was plenty of cover, and the Sniper spot was relatively “isolated,” far from everyone, so Xu Ziyan’s safety when flanking the enemy backline was high.

However, most of Ellie Park is open terrain, visible at a glance. Therefore, he had to seize the perfect moment to appear. A single mistake would result in him looking like an idiot running into the enemy base to feed kills, leading to a complete collapse.

Most importantly, this is an Assault map, meaning Xu Ziyan must risk being sniped to prioritize eliminating the Medic who supports the Assault Players, rather than just eliminating the enemy Sniper and casually healing his own Assault Players afterward.

…Using this strategy in this match is not the optimal solution.

However, in the mode where the Medic cooperates with the Sniper to cut off the backline, the main protagonist is definitely himself, going against the conventional approach.

At the same time, this is a performance that Clear cannot deliver, only Ice can.

The stage is right in front of him, built by Xie Wei and all his teammates.

He must succeed; failure is not an option.

The game started. Xu Ziyan, holding the taser, skillfully slipped into a small path within the bushes.

“They say Ellie Park is all about who can flank the fastest, but I didn’t expect that after TWG made a substitution, the one doing the job would be Ice,” Commentator A said with interest. “Some viewers who watched TWG’s second team matches should know that the strategy of the Medic using a fixed position to cooperate with the Sniper to eliminate the enemy backline was used by TWG’s second team earlier. They faced FTK’s second team, the previous Secondary League champions, and TWG won two to zero.”

Commentator B said, “This strategy is indeed very effective at eliminating the backline. Most importantly, once someone is stunned by the taser, they are practically guaranteed to die. The efficiency is much higher than an Assault Player flanking.”

Commentator A said, “But I truly didn’t expect TWG to put the entire team’s success on Ice, a rookie player. The success of this strategy entirely depends on his performance.”

Commentator B said, “YNG’s players clearly have no defensive awareness. Xuan has already started flanking, and the other Assault Player, Mumu, is escorting the objective at the front—Ice is moving!”

The moment Mumu left the backline, Xu Ziyan quickly asked in the voice channel, “Can I go?”

Xie Wei’s affirmation quickly came through the headset.

Without hesitation, he charged forward, tasering the unsuspecting YNG Medic, freezing him in place. The Sniper rifle fired instantly. Less than thirty seconds into the match, TWG had secured a kill.

Having successfully secured the kill, Xu Ziyan still didn’t relax. He quickly threw a healing vial forward for the two Assault Players, then hid again.

This was the first time Shen Xiao had witnessed this strategy. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and whistled, “Impressive!”

He then looked at his own precarious health bar and sighed, “It’s just a bit hard on the heart; too thrilling.”

YNG lost their Medic, and with Xuan flanking, Mumu at the front couldn’t withstand the pressure and was also eliminated.

Without front-line support, the flanking Xuan was caught in a pincer attack. He managed to take two-thirds of Xie Wei’s health before entering the respawn timer.

TWG’s Bai Chen was taken out by the YNG Sniper a moment later, but the one-for-three exchange meant YNG’s offensive rhythm was ruined.

Xu Ziyan returned to his team and topped up everyone’s health.

Having learned their lesson, YNG was prepared for the second push. However, Xu Ziyan was experienced and slippery in his movements, and Xie Wei was constantly giving him positional callouts. The YNG players felt increasingly like they were playing hide-and-seek.

Finally, in one instance, as the YNG Medic was eliminated, Mumu and Xuan suddenly rallied, killing Shen Xiao and bringing Bai Chen down to critical health, unable to fight. With the front line gone, Xie Wei couldn’t save them. He could only secure the YNG Sniper’s kill before retreating from the first checkpoint.

Xu Ziyan didn’t escape unscathed either. After respawning, he threw a syringe to Bai Chen.

Seeing this, Shen Xiao feigned grievance: “Why not me?”

Before Xu Ziyan could speak, Xie Wei answered his question: “Because Bai Chen is more reliable than you. If you die recklessly, you die. Bai Chen with the syringe can stay up a little longer.”

Shen Xiao said, “Ice! Where is the trust between teammates? Where is the love a Medic should have?”

Xu Ziyan replied, “I have no love. I am a cold-blooded Medic.”

Shen Xiao, meeting resistance on both sides, finally pleaded pitifully, “Bai Chen, tell them off.”

Bai Chen raised his gun, forcing Mumu to retreat, and replied, “Keep going.”

Shen Xiao: …That’s a very cold encouragement.

The second checkpoint, the defense point, was also in the garden.

Commentator A joked, “I bet the YNG Medic never imagined he’d feel relieved while attacking the garden one day.”

Commentator B said, “Yes, originally, due to the open visibility, it was hard for the Medic to escape the pincer attack of the Assault Players and the Sniper. But now, he can finally stop dealing with Ice, who could pop out from anywhere, since there’s no cover around.”

Commentator A said, “However, there’s still one issue. Our focus has been entirely on TWG’s Ice, but have we forgotten that TWG’s specialty is actually the dual cooperation between the Assault Player and the Sniper?”

Just as Commentator A said, YNG had barely recovered from Ice’s elusive sneak attacks when they were immediately pinned down by Xie Wei’s pinpoint accuracy, unable to advance. The YNG Medic had to guard against flanking while also defending against the Sniper in front. Under immense psychological pressure, he started to crumble, eventually falling into complete disarray.

YNG’s two Assault Players managed to turn the tide, pushing the escort objective to the second checkpoint, but the countdown had already ended.

In the arena, cheers erupted, along with the commentators’ passionate congratulations: “Congratulations to TWG for taking the match victory two to zero today! Congratulations!”

The results screen popped up. Xu Ziyan let out a heavy sigh, looking at his hands, which were still slightly trembling from the intensity of the match.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and gently squeezed his palm.

Xie Wei said, “Let’s go, time for the handshake.”
