Chapter 378: Accident (Third Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)
In the final match, the Star Team began to adopt a defensive stance.
Meanwhile, the NH Team from M Country launched an offensive against the Star Team.
As the match started, people finally noticed that Chen Xiaonan from the Hua Country Team seemed to have vanished into thin air.
What was Chen Xiaonan doing?
Ye Chen watched the situation, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, both sides were already locked in fierce combat.
The Hua Country Team was being completely suppressed due to being one person short.
However, Ye Chen looked at the situation with a smile on his face.
The Star Team's strategy succeeded.
Just then, chaos erupted at the rear of the NH Team.
Suddenly, Chen Xiaonan charged out from behind them.
And this time, Chen Xiaonan was wielding an AK.
Bang bang bang!
Chen Xiaonan was like he was on steroids, charging out from behind, taking down one opponent with each shot.
In the blink of an eye, three players fell under Chen Xiaonan's AK burst fire.
Afterwards, in a 5 versus 2 scenario, there was no suspense, and Star University finally achieved victory.
All members of the Star University Electronic Sports Team hugged each other, overcome with emotion.
They won, they made it to the finals.
Before the match, no one online believed in them at all.
Even they themselves didn't have confidence in themselves.
It was Ye Chen who encouraged them, and this strategy was also designed by Ye Chen.
Unexpectedly, the final match produced such a miraculous effect.
Now, Chen Xiaonan admired Ye Chen even more; the design of this strategy was brilliant, which only proved one thing, Ye Chen was also a master of game strategy.
At this moment, the NH Team from M Country protested, claiming Chen Xiaonan was cheating.
Chen Xiaonan's performance was dazzling; he practically hit one with each shot, so it was no wonder the other side was suspicious.
The organizers conducted data analysis and finally confirmed there was no issue with the match, and the results were valid.
The scene erupted in excitement.
The Hua Country Team, for the first time, made it to the finals of the World Electronic Sports Championship.
The venue was in an uproar.
This result was unexpected for almost everyone.
Initially, in people's eyes, the four teams from Hua Country were mere also-rans.
But as the matches played out, the strength displayed by the Hua Country Team defied everyone's expectations.
Especially, the performance of the Star Team could be described as breathtaking.
In the live stream, Hua Country netizens watching the match also went into a frenzy.
"Incredible that they made it to the finals."
"Star University is amazing."
"This match got my blood pumping."
...
In the final match, the opponent of Hua Country's Star University Team was Korea's TG Team.
This team had consecutively eliminated three teams from Hua Country and was known as the nemesis of the Hua Country Team.
Cui Yongzhe, the general manager of the TG Team, had a gloomy expression.
"Damn, they actually let a Hua Country team make it to the finals, that makes it difficult for us to manipulate the results."
In fact, every year, the NH Team from M Country and the TG Team from Korea would meet in the finals.
In the final, betting odds would be set overseas, and the game would play out according to their requirements to achieve the desired match results.
Every year, the companies behind both teams would rake in huge profits.
The secretary said, "How about we contact Ye Chen and negotiate with them?"
"Hmm, I'll leave this matter to you."
Ye Chen had just finished a meeting with the players.
The players were extremely excited to enter the finals, which were held the next day, and decided to go out and celebrate.
Seeing everyone so happy, Ye Chen didn't want to dampen their spirits but required them to only celebrate at the restaurant across from the hotel.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen began to study the tactics of the TG Team.
At this moment, Ye Chen's phone suddenly rang.
Answering the call, a deep voice came through: "Hello, is this Mr. Ye?"
"Yes, it is. What's the matter?" Ye Chen replied.
"I'd like to propose a collaboration: tomorrow, if you let your team lose to the TG Team, I can offer you fifty million M Gold, and I can pay half of the down payment upfront."
Hearing the words, Ye Chen frowned.
The world of electronic sports had just begun, and Ye Chen hadn't expected someone would try to bribe his team for a fix in such an important competition.
"I'm sorry, but our only goal is to win the championship."
"You… Mr. Ye, please reconsider. This hundred million prize money is enough to change your life and the lives of your team members."
Ye Chen suddenly laughed: "Can dreams be bought with money? Tell the TG Team, if they want to win the championship, rely on skill, not such underhanded means."
"Bastard, you will regret your choice." The other party angrily hung up the phone.
The secretary informed Cui Yongzhe of the situation.
Cui Yongzhe squinted his eyes: "Since he refuses a toast, he will have to drink a forfeit. If he won't cooperate, we'll have to use our own methods."
"Mr. Cui, they're currently dining at the restaurant across the hotel, why don't we cripple them?" A cold glint flashed in the secretary's eyes.
Cui Yongzhe shook his head; "We can't do that. If we cripple them all, it will definitely attract media attention. I've watched Star Team's matches—their core is Chen Xiaonan. Crippling just him will suffice."
The secretary nodded: "Manager Cui, I know what to do."
At this moment, Chen Xiaonan and the others were celebrating in the restaurant.
"Brothers, making it to the finals this time feels like a dream." Chen Xiaonan said excitedly.
Sun Ze also sighed: "I used to think playing games was sneaky like doing something bad, but who would have thought that one day we could play games openly and even bring honor to our country."
"Yes, it's all thanks to Star University and Principal Ye giving us this opportunity. We will definitely win tomorrow's match."
Just then, a few people in checkered shirts barged in through the door.
As soon as these people entered, they started provoking.
"Hua Country pigs, get out of our Korea." One of the guys with yellow hair shouted angrily.
"Who the hell are you calling a Hua Country pig?" Sun Ze, with a big temper, directly pointed at the yellow-haired guy and cursed.
"I'm talking about you, what about it?" With that, the yellow-haired guy gave Sun Ze a harsh shove.
The hooligans behind him surged forward as well.
These students usually sat in front of computers playing esports. Although they trained as well, they were no match for these hooligans.
Several other players from Hua Country were also subdued by them.
Two hooligans pinned down Chen Xiaonan, pressing his right hand onto the table.
Yellow-hair held a metal rod in his hand and walked step by step towards Chen Xiaonan.
A sinister smile appeared on his face: "Kid, daring to run wild on our turf, today I'll cripple this hand of yours."
"No!" This time, Chen Xiaonan was afraid.
The World Electronic Sports Championship was his dream, and tomorrow was the moment to realize it. If his hand was crippled, he wouldn't be able to pursue a career in esports.
As the yellow-haired guy was about to smash Chen Xiaonan's hand, everyone's faces changed color.
Tomorrow was the final; if Chen Xiaonan's hand was smashed, he couldn't play in the final.
Now Chen Xiaonan was already the soul of the team, and if he was injured, it would be a huge blow to the Star Team's combat power.
