Unlike Alex's casualness, Caleb's actions and tone were much gentler in contrast. He gently patted Rebecca's head and lowered his gaze to look at Rebecca's surprised face. Amusement appeared in his eyes. "I saw your message online. Knowing that you and Alex are together, I thought I'd come and take a look. I've just finished my recent projects, and I can relax and have some fun.""What a coincidence!" Rebecca's eyes widened with excitement. She was thrilled and couldn't stop talking. She sneakily complained to Caleb, "Perfect! Alex said he had something to do this afternoon, so let's go have fun! You can even take his work ID. The security at the entrance won't be able to tell. Maybe some fans will even ask you for a photo and an autograph!"Rebecca found it amusing just by thinking about it.Caleb observed Rebecca's sparkling eyes. He whispered, "We'll see about that. But since we're impersonating Alex, we might need to go back to the hotel to change clothes. And Rebecca, please

The second half of the first match began, and new players entered the competition area. The crowd cheered loudly. The atmosphere in the competition area intensified.Unfortunately, the team facing Blindstrike wasn't in good shape. Despite their effort, their hard work didn't pay off as expected.They aimed for points, but a series of mistakes occurred. It was likely due to nerves or other factors, and not just because of one player. As anticipated, the match wrapped up quickly, with Blindstrike claiming a 3-0 victory.Rebecca didn't feel much about it. She was fairly new to watching these matches and wasn't deeply invested. Compared to yesterday's balanced play, this one seemed very one-sided.Blindstrike's fans might have enjoyed it, but for the other team's supporters, it felt quite unsatisfying and even disgusting.Seated among the opposing team's fans, she heard a lot of harsh words being thrown around. She could even faintly hear some crying without turning around. Was the ma

Alex and Caleb had a more successful start than most Esports athletes. At the very least, their parents didn't think being a professional gamer was a waste of time or an improper job. Their parents, Felicia and Dante, sometimes also joined the two in playing games.Still, Alex and Caleb were proud young men who refused to rely on their parents' help. So, they chose to start their careers from the ground up. They hid their real names and used the money from their part-time jobs to travel to a city with Esports clubs.There weren't any rules stating that teenagers couldn't compete in Esports back then. So, the rebellious Alex brought Caleb along as they signed up for training camp.Alex, the older brother, was overjoyed that he was selected to join a decently famous Esports club. He didn't even read the contract in detail before signing it. The brothers only learned the truth after getting fooled. It turned out that the club was an unrecognized one. The club's boss had paid money to

Alex decided to make things clear during the team-building time on Monday.Although everyone was usually in the club, it was impossible to get everyone in the same room. A few members gamed upstairs, while others did so on the villa's balcony. Some used the training room to play different games than the one used for competitions. Or they'd host livestreams and receive monetary gifts through Super Chats. Some people lounged in random places while phoning their girlfriends.Monday was a rest day, so the club members usually headed out for the day. That said, the manager would take everyone out for a meal on the first Monday of every month. Everyone was free to take a break after the meal. Those whose homes were near the villa could return home. Meanwhile, those whose homes were further could lounge in the club. They could also visit their girlfriends for the day.The entire team was only present during that meal. Otherwise, not everyone would show up for regular mealtimes in the v

"If no clubs want me, can I buy out my own work contract?" Alex's goal was crystal clear. He liked the thrill of competing against his opponents in the game arena. So, he didn't mind quitting for a year and returning to continue his Esports career afterward.He liked the competitions and enjoyed the audience's cheers whenever he won. Above all, he loved how he felt after winning a game.Since Alex's team in KIL wanted a comfortable life, he planned to leave and join a more driven team that strove for victory. It was his career path, so he called the shots. He needed to break himself out of this predicament he had put himself into.The chubby manager's eyes widened in sheer disbelief and surprise. It was like he had heard the most bizarre statement. He looked at the youthful and naive Alex, whose features hardened sternly. Even so, the manager didn't believe Alex could do it. He chuckled. "You want to buy out your work contract? How much money do you have? Do you plan to use your r
