E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 50
byXu Ziyan’s alternate account was one he used for practice before he joined TWG. His rank was decent back then, but after not logging in for so long, it kept sliding down. When he finally logged in, he only had 2,900 points left.
In Resist’s team-up mechanism, the competitive point difference between squad members must be less than 300 points, or they won’t be able to matchmake.
Xu Ziyan sent his alternate account ID to KK and quickly received a friend request.
After he joined the squad, he glanced at the scores of the members in the team. Good, the lowest was 2,800, and the highest was 3,100, perfectly adhering to the point limit.
“We can barely queue,” Bai Ke opened his mic and laughed. “Sorry, everyone, my brother, Xie-dui, and I are all streaming in the living room. Our voices might bleed into each other’s streams, so please bear with us.”
[We bear with you, we bear with you so much.]
[So only Ice isn’t here, hahaha, so pitiful.]
Bai Ke clicked the queue button and glanced at the barrage, smiling meaningfully. He knew what he could say and what he couldn’t. He only said, “Is Ice pitiful? Surely no one hasn’t seen the version update announcement yet.”
“…” Xu Ziyan was getting numb from the barrage of people praying to him. “I beg you, stop creating hype around me.”
Xie Wei lowered his head and opened Xu Ziyan’s live stream on his phone. Seeing the content in the barrage, he raised an eyebrow. “When did you take on the role of the Lucky Carp? Is there really a business of transferring luck? Is praying to you and reposting you actually useful?”
Xu Ziyan heard the teasing in his tone and was speechless. “It’s not useful, really not useful! I’m a very unlucky person. I can’t share good luck, but anyone who wants some bad luck is welcome to take it.”
A stream of “hahahaha” and “I don’t believe the Lucky Carp is being humble again” floated across the barrage.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took note. Xie Wei originally intended to joke around to liven the atmosphere, but he paused slightly at the reply.
Come to think of it, Xu Ziyan’s luck really wasn’t that good.
He stumbled into the Youth Training Camp only to encounter a coach with ill intentions, suffering endless grievances. Just when he finally mustered up the courage, he was misunderstood due to various accidents.
Even after joining the team, his path was rough and his luck was poor, leading to him being constantly flamed and cursed online. He encountered more haters than some veteran players.
If it were anyone else, they probably would have had a mental breakdown midway and chosen to give up.
Fortunately, it was Xu Ziyan.
There were many players in the 3,000-point range, and since several of them were streaming, many fans wanted to snipe them for a chance to play with their favorite professional players. Soon, the match was assembled.
Xie Wei clicked the button, scanned the barrage, and saw someone questioning his Medic skills. He gave a lazy smile and didn’t argue, only saying, “Do I know how to play Medic? Just watch.”
[So arrogant, I love it.]
[Xie Shen’s Medic, damn, I bet the healing gun bullets will only hit the enemy and never his teammates.]
[My condolences to the two Assault Players.]
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, after entering the map, Xie Wei did not choose the violent output-focused Medic build that the barrage predicted. Instead, he chose a combination of the healing gun, armor packs, and the stun gun.
As the match began, he unhurriedly stacked full armor on the Assault Player with the ID Yan and threw out a healing syringe. It was safe to say that he started with maximum resource allocation.
[Newcomer here, why is Xie Shen playing Medic? Who is this Yan?]
[Fun fact: TWG Medic Ice, real name Xu Ziyan.]
[Those who know, know.]
The map for this game was the Esval Temple, a capture point map. Point A was a small bend with a stone gate arch bridge outside the temple, and Point B was inside the temple.
It was called a temple, but it was actually just a dilapidated small church with no notable decorations inside or out. In the center of the temple, only a gray goddess statue stood in front of a stained-glass window, bowing her head in devout prayer.
There was a damaged stone wall on the side of the temple, directly opposite the main entrance. Attackers could flank and surprise from here, and it was also very convenient for retreating. Therefore, Point B was easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the defending side wanted to make a stand, they could only do so at the stone gate arch bridge of Point A.
Unfortunately, the four-person squad was on the defending side.
As the game started, they moved together toward Point A, while Bai Ke went ahead to flank the enemy’s rear.
Originally, Xu Ziyan, who had experience flanking, should have gone, but Bai Ke preferred the role of shooting from the back. Since Xie Wei was playing Medic, Xu Ziyan didn’t argue with Bai Ke and stayed on the front line as the Tank.
Just as they set up their formation, Xie Wei turned his head and asked in surprise, “Chen, why are you, a Sniper, standing even further forward than Ice?”
Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, took a while to react, looked down at the sniper rifle in his hand, and calmly said, “Oh, I forgot I was a Sniper.”
[Opponent: Never seen this strategy before]
[Sniper holds them off, Medic outputs damage, Assault Players watch out for themselves]
[Damn, clear division of labor.]
As they spoke, the enemy had arrived at the entrance of Point A. With no time to adjust their positions, Bai Chen immediately opened his scope and quick-scoped from his position on the car.
The enemy Assault Player couldn’t react in time and was headshot instantly. Fortunately, the armor pack protected him, or he would have been killed instantly.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Xu Ziyan was quick and finished him off with a drag shot.
Less than thirty seconds into the match, the attacking side lost an Assault Player. The opponents were dumbfounded and could only temporarily retreat, peeking from the corner to deal damage while waiting for their teammate to respawn.
Bai Chen took this opportunity to move to the nearest sniping spot and set up his scope again.
When he was playing Sniper before, Xie Wei had to hide and dodge to avoid being flanked, and also use the high ground vision to call out positions for his teammates, acting as the commander. Now, in a low-rank game and playing Medic, he was happy to take it easy. He followed closely behind Xu Ziyan, healing him and throwing an armor pack, ensuring that Yan’s health never dropped below sixty percent.
Bai Ke was in the enemy’s rear, so naturally, he couldn’t receive any resources. However, he had no complaints. While the front-line Assault Players were being held back by Xu Ziyan and Xie Wei, he jumped directly onto the enemy Sniper’s face.
He had been lurking there for a long time, with almost eerie patience. Even when the Sniper came over to set up his scope, Bai Ke didn’t show up. It wasn’t until the Sniper felt safe and slightly relaxed that a burst of bullets suddenly came. The poor little Sniper had no time to react and was taken out.
[Hahaha, he literally jumped out of his face, without even a single footstep sound. Confirmed horror game.]
[Was KK waiting this whole time just to scare this Sniper?]
[Be confident, remove the ‘was’. KK is just a menace.]
Xu Ziyan watched the whole process and clicked his tongue. “This Sniper is probably going to have nightmares tonight.”
“Hehe,” Bai Ke raised his chin. “It’s about time these Snipers got a taste of my usual gaming environment.”
“When will the cycle of revenge end?” Xu Ziyan said. “Why must a Sniper make things difficult for another Sniper?”
Bai Ke replied, “That doesn’t sound like something someone who flanks and takes out other Medics every day would say.”
Xu Ziyan: …
He was speechless.
If he thought about it carefully, it had been over half a year since he last touched an Assault Player. In the past, when his mentality broke down from being constantly targeted by bad teammates and the enemy flankers, Xu Ziyan would play Assault to relax. After joining the team, he stopped touching it to solidify his technique and improve.
Now, suddenly being asked to pick up Assault again, and in front of so many people across four live streams, even though the rank was low, he still felt a little uncertain.
Xie Wei seemed determined to be a hands-off manager. He didn’t command, only occasionally called out a point, and followed him the entire time, lazily healing him and chatting with the barrage.
He didn’t seem very focused, but in reality, Xie Wei was meticulous in everything, from the timing of his abilities to his survival positioning. Several times, when Xu Ziyan was genuinely nervous and mispositioned, thinking he was about to die, Xie Wei somehow managed to forcefully save him.
Xu Ziyan initially felt a bit lost, but gradually settled down, influenced by Xie Wei.
The audience in the live stream was half curious and half worried to see Ice playing Assault. Many were waiting to see him fail. After all, he lacked honor and experience, and being in a strong team meant he was inevitably scrutinized and criticized.
But to their surprise, once Xu Ziyan settled down, his positioning was very stable. He was aggressive and daring. Despite being a Medic main, he showed no fear playing Assault, and his aim was very accurate. Working in tandem with Bai Ke, the match was highly entertaining.
Bai Ke cleanly finished off the enemy Medic with a melee attack, sending him back to the respawn point, and laughed. “As expected of Ice God. You were the most accurate Assault Player in the second team back then, right? Are you really not considering switching roles?”
Xu Ziyan released the mouse, slightly stretched his wrist, and chuckled upon hearing this. “My assessment is that I’m not even as good as one of K God’s fingers.”
Bai Ke clicked his tongue. “Why are you praising me to death… Ah!”
Xu Ziyan flinched at his shout. Before he could ask why, he heard a sniper shot ring out from behind him. The sound of the bullet cutting through the air was followed by a kill notification.
[Uic0076 killed cyss]
Cyss was the enemy Assault Player’s ID.
With the danger averted, Bai Ke recovered and cursed, “This guy was actually camping me on my flanking route! That’s so low!”
He had been too smooth with his flanking this round, and with the time nearing the end, he had become a bit complacent and hadn’t paid much attention to the enemy’s movements. Who knew that halfway through his route, while he was talking, someone suddenly popped out of a nearby small house? Bai Ke was so startled his hand shook.
Fortunately, Bai Chen had been keeping an eye on his side and provided timely support.
Xu Ziyan thought to himself that Bai Ke wasn’t much better than anyone else, but he still agreed outwardly, “Indeed.”
After cursing, Bai Ke changed the subject and laughed cheerfully. “It’s a good thing my brother is here, I feel so safe. We should just follow FTK’s example: Xie Shen and Ice are locked together, and my brother and I are locked together.”
At first glance, this statement seemed fine, and it even gave a shout-out to FTK, a cross-promotion of sorts. However, Xu Ziyan knew Bai Ke’s feelings for Bai Chen, and he didn’t know how to react to this.
Bai Chen didn’t say anything, and there was no way to expect Xie Wei to notice the subtle atmosphere. To avoid awkward silence, Xu Ziyan repeated, “Indeed.”
[The ruthless ‘Indeed’ machine.]
[If you say he’s perfunctory, you also feel Ice is quite serious. If you say he’s serious, you also feel he’s quite perfunctory.]
[Contemporary contradictory literature.]
Fortunately, Bai Ke knew his comment was hard to follow up on. He smiled and quickly changed the topic.
