Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 691 - Bab 700

Discussions gradually faded into cheers when the pick-and-ban process started.Rebecca's attention also shifted from the gossip to the gaming arena. She raised her brows in shock when she saw a woman on one of the teams. She couldn't help gasping when the massive screen showed the side profile of a pretty woman in a headset. "That lady's beautiful! Are there female players in this specific game's competition? I don't think I've ever seen one in other games …" Rebecca tried hard to recall the other competitions. Although she never cared about Esports competitions, she occasionally browsed trending online news. So, Rebecca would sometimes read articles that mentioned the champions of Esports competitions. Yet, she could've sworn there had never been a female player.According to netizens, teams had to live together while training for competitions. It was inconvenient for a female to live alongside male teammates. So, the expenses of getting another living space would be higher.Fo

Caleb cocked a brow. "How would you know if you haven't even told me?"Rebecca leaned against the chair and looked up at the post-match scores on the big screen. She didn't know much about the gaming industry. Yet, she could still tell how talented SUN was from her scores. SUN could ditch her team and shoot for the top with her incredibly superior scores. Rebecca felt sad when she thought about that and the information she found earlier.SUN was a player with outstanding skills and sharp senses. Yet, because she was a girl, she needed to stand out at the top for others to notice her. Only then could she secure a position in the starting lineup.Meanwhile, clubs preferred to sign random lazy men with average skills. That was indeed something to be sad about.As Rebecca stayed silent, Caleb grabbed their water and snacks without saying anything. He simultaneously said, "Some things are indeed upsetting. Still, we should trust the gaming industry's methods. Not every boss is willi

It was a fight to decide the winner, yet everyone in Blindstrike played conventional moves. They were in the fourth round. With every round advancement, the teams had to choose from fewer in-game characters during the pick-and-ban process. So, the teams had a balanced range of characters.It was normal for the teams to draw if they made no mistakes during the game.Still, Blindstrike couldn't afford to draw. What angered the fans more was that Blindstrike didn't put much effort into competing. The audience would understand it if a player sacrificed his teammates to win. After all, it was a cut-throat round. That way, the team would still feel proud for trying their best even if they lost.Yet, Blindstrike wasn't even fighting for a chance to win. They had given up entirely and accepted they'd lose. It felt like they were content enough with getting third place.Rebecca didn't need to check her phone to know the fan chat she joined was blowing up with angry texts. She clicked

Meanwhile, at Crechester, Rebecca and Caleb sat in the car for a while before eventually entering the hotel."Caleb’s team will be having dinner later at night. Do you want to join us, Becca?" Caleb asked when they entered the lift.She was shocked. She looked up from her phone at the person next to her and said, "Isn’t it already late?"It was already dark outside. The team usually had some random food as dinner inside the venue. Rebecca was just grateful that SUN had played a marvelous game and didn’t drag the game on for too long. If they had played all five matches and even gone into overtime, she wouldn't want to stay on even if she was a fan. Seeing that she wasn't interested, Caleb naturally didn't force her. He said, "If you're tired, you can just rest in the room. It doesn’t matter whether you join the dinner or not." Judging from the messages from Alex, it seemed that he didn't really want her to join the dinner either. Caleb must have felt the same as well. He

"What I'm about to say is something I've mentioned to everyone in previous years as well. This year, I won't be playing as a team with all of you, but I hope you all remember why we train so hard. "As for the prize money, CalX would not take any commission. It will be distributed to everyone based on each person's contribution to the game, just like in previous years. The after-tax income will be shared among everyone. I hope you show your best and give it your all tomorrow." Unlike other leaders who liked to give long-winded speeches, Alex briefly stated the main purpose of this gathering, raised his glass, and cheered with everyone.Even though they were just drinking beverages, it didn't dampen the joy.All who were seated at the table were peers. Although Alex was the leader, he didn't act like one. They usually lived together, so even though there was a minor disagreement like just now, it was quickly resolved, and everyone was back to being friendly.This was why Alex and
