E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Chapter Sixty-Three

In the second match, TWG was on defense and KW was on offense. At Point A, Xu Ziyan replicated Pride’s strategy from the previous round, defending beside Xie Wei. However, he was much more cunning and daring than Pride, practically abandoning the frontal defense and leaving Bai Chen alone to guard the point, while Shen Xiao crouched with him in the woods.

Seeing that flanking had failed, KW attempted a frontal assault. However, with Xu Ziyan’s Medic Pack combined with Xie Wei’s sniping, it was one shot, one kill. The front was impenetrable, and flanking was hopeless, leading to KW’s second defeat. TWG took the match point with a two-to-zero lead.

For the third round, TWG swapped players. TWG-Seamy was replaced by TWG-Yuan.

This was Yuan Shaofeng’s first formal participation in a top-tier league. Although he appeared calm, his palms were already covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Xie Wei noticed his nervousness. Before leaving the lounge, he lightly patted his shoulder: “Prove yourself.”

Yuan Shaofeng was momentarily stunned, then gave him a grateful look.

TWG was on attack, and KW was on defense.

With Yuan Shaofeng in the game, TWG changed all their strategies and charged straight into the front. KW sent players to flank, but TWG was prepared. With a syringe and full armor, Xie Wei successfully counter-sniped the Assault Player attempting to flank.

With one less frontal damage dealer, Point A was ultimately taken by TWG.

—Only one step away from final victory.

The countdown ended, and Point B unlocked.

Xu Ziyan let out a soft breath: “Yuan and Chen, follow me. We’ll block the door directly. Captain, you take the point.”

Generally, in a capture point map, the players responsible for capturing the point are the tough and flexible Assault Players. Medics sometimes do it, but a Sniper… that was unprecedented.

Bai Chen and Yuan Shaofeng were both stunned, but Xie Wei smiled lightly and responded without question: “OK.”

“Although we don’t know what happened, it feels like the entire TWG team’s morale has undergone a massive change since the second match,” said Commentator A. “Especially in the first match, Xie God missed a few shots, and I was a little worried for TWG, but the facts prove my anxiety was unnecessary.”

“Especially with the addition of the rookie Assault Player Yuan, the entire strategy and style have been refreshed,” Commentator B looked at the dynamic map of the teams’ positions on the screen: “But… what is TWG’s tactic? Ice and the two Assault Players are all pushing forward. Do they intend to clash head-on with KW at Point B as well?”

“No, it’s a flank! Only one Sniper is left at the front; everyone else is flanking to push the backline!”

“Ice throws a Medic Pack! The vulnerability effect hits Pride and Alice! Bee reacts incredibly fast, turning around and sniping Chen’s armor, but Ice is right behind Chen! A healing syringe is applied, and Chen instantly recovers full health! Yuan switches to his secondary weapon—it seems the director forgot to show the weapons carried by each team’s players this round, and Yuan hasn’t switched to his secondary weapon all match, so we’re just now realizing he’s carrying a revolver!”

“Two revolver shots hit Pride, and Pride is down—Ice is also down! In this crucial moment, Bee steps up, using a powerful close-range quick scope to tell TWG that they won’t easily take his point!”

“Wait! Why is the Point B capture bar rising? What is going on!”

Amidst the commentator’s surprised question, the camera switched, showing Shining, with his sniper rifle on his back, leisurely leaning against the cliff face inside Point B below the mountain. Above him, bullets rained down, but here, he was peaceful, not even having drawn his gun.

Commentator B said with a surprised yet intrigued tone: “Probably no one here expected TWG to use a tactic we usually only see in Ranked Matches—point stealing—in the final, most crucial match point attack and defense. And a Sniper is stealing the point.”

Commentator A also laughed wryly: “Yes, because TWG’s frontal assault on Point A was so fierce, we subconsciously focused on the three players in front during Point B. However, in such an exciting and tense frontal confrontation, the attacking team’s Sniper became the most easily overlooked player.”

“KW clearly realized this. Alice tries to catch Xie Wei, but Yuan desperately blocks him! Two more revolver shots hit, forcibly pulling Alice back into the melee. I have to say, Yuan’s performance in this match is truly outstanding! But the frontal firepower is ultimately lacking. Ice is down, Yuan is down, and Chen is down.”

“KW successfully repelled TWG’s three frontal players, but unfortunately, time has run out. In the final second of the capture, Shining successfully stole the point, and Point B is taken.”

“Congratulations to TWG! They continue their magnificent winning streak from the preseason into the playoffs, proving the absolute dominance of the number one team on the leaderboard with a three-to-zero victory! Congratulations, TWG!”

Amidst the deafening cheers that penetrated the soundproof headphones, Xu Ziyan lowered his head and took off his headset.

As the captain, Xie Wei stood up first, leading the team to shake hands with the KW players.

Back in the lounge, Yu Guangzhou smiled and nodded at them. Shen Xiao jumped forward, raising an eyebrow: “Wow, that last tactic definitely wasn’t Captain Xie’s command. Captain Xie would never do something so dirty. Only Ice would be that sneaky.”

Xu Ziyan wasn’t annoyed and laughed: “Is that my fault?”

On the screen mounted on the lounge wall, the statistics for TWG and KW players for this round were displayed, and the MVP for the match was selected—TWG-Ice, Xu Ziyan.

“Perfect timing, Ice is also going for the post-match interview,” Yu Guangzhou flipped through his notepad. “They’ll ask a few standard questions, and then there are a few fan questions. Just answer them as usual, similar to how you interact with the chat during your stream.”

Xu Ziyan had played in several preseason matches, but this was his first time doing a post-match interview.

Before he could agree, he heard Xie Wei say from the side: “It’s Ice’s first time doing a post-match interview. I’ll go with him.”

Xie Wei’s popularity was immense, and interviewing him was a guaranteed win, so the organizers certainly wouldn’t refuse the request.

However, unless the team requested it, Xie Wei had never proactively asked to participate. This was a first.

Jiang Yuxin, sensing the intimacy and concern, suppressed the urge to gossip and looked back at Yu Guangzhou with anticipation.

Yu Guangzhou nodded without objection.

Almost the moment he gave his assent, Jiang Yuxin eagerly said: “I’ll go coordinate this with the organizers right away!”

With that, he quickly scurried out of the lounge.

Shen Xiao clicked his tongue behind him: “Manager Jiang only gets this proactive when something like this happens.”

Yuan Shaofeng, who had just broken up, sighed deeply and looked wistfully at Xu Ziyan: “I’m jealous, truly jealous.”

Although their relationship was not a secret within TWG, Xie Wei rarely openly showed him special care or treatment. Xu Ziyan’s ears turned slightly red, while Xie Wei smiled openly, neither refuting nor stopping the teasing.

Before long, Jiang Yuxin rushed back, giving a thumbs-up.

Xie Wei stood up and lightly squeezed Xu Ziyan’s palm: “Let’s go.”

Xu Ziyan followed Xie Wei out of the lounge, walking down a long corridor. This venue was not TWG’s home stadium, but many staff members they encountered in the corridor were clearly familiar with Xie Wei, greeting him and offering congratulations along the way.

Passing the restroom, Xu Ziyan’s ears caught a faint sob.

He paused, his gaze instinctively looking into the restroom.

Reflected in the mirror, he saw two figures standing in front of the sink.

The shorter young man standing in front had his head down, raising his arm to wipe away tears. Clearly, the sobbing sound had come from him.

The taller man in front of him was somewhat at a loss regarding the youth’s tears, patting his back lightly, his lips moving as if saying words of comfort.

Both were wearing KW team uniforms. Xu Ziyan paused for a moment, quickly realizing that the shorter one was KW’s Medic, Pride, and the taller one was KW’s Assault Player, Alice.

Although Alice’s ID was Alice, he was a standard six-foot-one Alpha.

Xu Ziyan was momentarily stunned.

Xie Wei also glanced into the restroom, then subtly pulled Xu Ziyan’s wrist, leading him away.

Only after they had walked some distance did Xie Wei whisper: “You didn’t feel a moment of guilt, did you?”

Xu Ziyan couldn’t speak.

If he were to be honest, he was one of the culprits who caused the scene just now.

“I did,” Xu Ziyan admitted truthfully, “but, how should I put it? The moment I thought that what he’s probably planning is how to blow my head off the next time he encounters me, all the guilt instantly vanished.”

Xie Wei couldn’t help but laugh, then said no more.

The interview stage was set up on the side of the main stage. The host and cameras were already ready. As soon as Xu Ziyan and Xie Wei appeared, another round of cheers and applause erupted.

The elegantly made-up host in a formal dress turned and smiled at them. Her gaze lingered on Xie Wei for a moment, then she raised her hand and adjusted her makeup and hair.

“Welcome. Today, we have TWG’s Shining and Ice players joining us for the post-match interview. Please introduce yourselves.”

Xu Ziyan smelled her perfume, sniffed, and took the microphone: “Hello everyone, I’m TWG’s Medic, Ice.”

Xie Wei said: “I’m TWG’s Sniper, Shining.”

As Yu Guangzhou had said, the subsequent questions from the host were either related to the match or were fan concerns and requests for streaming, all very normal.

But for the final question, the host suddenly put away her cue cards, her smile unchanged, but her gaze intensely fixed on Xie Wei.

“In today’s match, and previous matches, Shining has consistently performed brilliantly and is a highly popular star player favored by the audience. But there’s one thing everyone is very curious about, and that’s Shining’s romantic life. Does Shining currently have a partner or someone he likes?”

Xu Ziyan froze instantly, and the audience began to heckle. He wondered: Does this question fall under the category of “normal”?

He secretly turned his head to look at Xie Wei, only to see the man’s expression slightly darken, clearly displeased.

Xu Ziyan sighed quietly, about to step in to smooth things over, when he saw Xie Wei suddenly look down and subtly glance at him.

His heart inexplicably tightened, and the words he had prepared scattered.

But soon, Xie Wei looked away, his expression calm as he said: “Yes.”

Almost the instant his words landed, the surrounding air froze, followed by an explosion of gasps and screams. Even the live stream interface was densely covered with overwhelming comments, making it impossible to see any part of the screen.

If anyone else had given this answer, it wouldn’t have felt so unbelievable.

But the person who spoke those two words was Xie Wei.

He looked at the host, who was frozen in place: “Are there any other questions?”

The host snapped back to reality. The question had been her own initiative, and she had received such an explosive answer. Still in shock, she quickly said: “…No.”

Then, realizing her duty, she quickly held up her cue card and used her last bit of professionalism: “Thank you to the two TWG players for accepting our post-match interview, and congratulations again to TWG for winning this match!”
