Team XS had made an astounding comeback!Meanwhile, the two commentators were speechless at this sudden turn of events.The fans in the venue were all excitedly jumping and hugging the person next to them.After complete silence from the podium for half a minute, Commentator A began speaking first. “Can anybody tell me what just happened? Where am I? Who am I?”“This is embarrassing! Team XS, you sure are something,” Commentator B said next.“I would like to apologize for what I said earlier. Just because I can’t play well, it doesn’t mean Team XS can’t play well. I honestly can’t understand what just happened,” Commentator A stated.“I’d like to apologize, too. I’m sorry, I was too foolish to understand. I can’t understand how Team XS is this strong!” Commentator B exclaimed.On the livestream channel—“I can’t understand this, either. I suspect Team XS is intentionally messing with my head. They make me feel disappointed first so that I’d feel this exhilarated later!”“We re
Xyla Quest looked down at her phone as she opened the League of Legends forum on ESPN.Just as she expected, people were spamming in the forum.There were all sorts of praises for Alex and Team XS—“Alex was born for great things! I love how well he played.”“From how things look, Team IM doesn’t even deserve to play against Team XS. They didn’t even stand a chance.”“Team XS really is the best team in the LPL Region. They are the real deal.”“Do you know why I like Team XS now? It doesn’t matter if they win or lose. They’re simply exciting to watch!”“As long as their base isn’t destroyed, Team XS will have a chance to make a comeback! This is Team XS!”Xyla couldn’t help but smile when she saw these comments.Stanley Batton happened to catch sight of her dazzling smile from the side.No matter how much time had passed, he’d still catch his breath every time he saw her face. He couldn’t help but grin back at her, his hand lifting to ruffle her hair gently.Right then, the b
“I don’t get it,” Stanley Batton said, feeling puzzled.None of them could understand.While everyone watched, Alex selected Lulu as his champion as the Top Solo.Everyone at the venue was dumbfounded at his choice as Lulu was usually only selected as Support.It was the first time seeing Lulu selected as the champion for Top Solo.Meanwhile, the commentators were also shocked—“I can’t believe this! Top Solo Lulu? Alex is something else,” Commentator A said.“Yeah. Frankly, with champion selections, it’s fine for Alex to select Lulu even though it’s my first time seeing him play her. Does he know how to play Lulu?” Commentator B said.“Don’t doubt Alex. Is there a champion in this world that Alex doesn’t know how to play?” Commentator A asked.While everyone questioned Alex’s selection, the match between the two teams began.Both teams engaged each other in the jungle area again, but this time, Alex and his teammates managed to kill all five of their opponents with precise m
Stanley Batton vaguely sensed that Alex treated Xyla Quest differently.Once or twice might’ve been a coincidence, but not after multiple times.His instincts were telling him that there was something fishy about Alex.He took a long hard look at Alex before regaining his composure and wrapped his arm around Xyla, who was oblivious to his thoughts.Alex led his team members over to Team IM to shake their hands before heading back to the stage, feeling pretty happy.Alex's eyes were glowing evidently despite his attempt to hide his expression of joy while the rest gathered behind him with their arms raised over their heads to wave at their supporters below the stage.Each of them seemed to be on some adrenaline rush, feeling like they had the world right under their feet.They felt like kings in the world of League of Legends.They demonstrated the enthusiasm, exuberance, and excitement of the youths.Seeing the young ones like this made Xyla feel very pleased.She'd always ha
“I guess they were pleasantly surprised," Alex said thoughtfully. "Anyway, everyone’s happy about it.”“Yes, they are. Is there anything you’d like to say to Xyla and your fans?” the female host questioned further.He instantly turned his somber-looking face at Xyla Quest. “I won’t let you down, Boss. I’ll bring all the trophies to you.”On the livestream channel—“Stanley: Just pretend I’m dead.”“I honestly feel that Alex has a crush on Xyla. I don’t think I’m mistaken.”“The look in his eyes is so mesmerizing. They’d be a lovely couple!”“Calm down, everyone. Xyla is older than Alex. How could that work out? He isn’t the type to like older women.”“Alex wouldn’t dare set his eyes on Stanley’s wife. Are you all mad?”Xyla flashed a smile upon hearing his words, raising both thumbs at him when he turned to look at her once more.Their entire exchange was captured and displayed on the large screen by the broadcasting director.Stanley Batton observed everything next to her,
News about Team XS winning the League of Legends spring season tournament appeared on their phone screens.The four of them simultaneously clicked on the news article published by League of Legends’ official account. There was even a picture of Team XS taken when they won the tournament.Xyla Quest glanced at it before clicking on the list of hot topics.Just as she expected, a lot was going on there.Hot topic number one: ‘#Xyla and Stanley show up at League of Legends spring season tournament finale#’.Hot topic number two: ‘#Team XS wins the tournament#’.Hot topic number three: ‘#Alex’s god-like maneuvers with Akali#’.Hot topic number four: ‘#Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates show up at League of Legends spring season tournament finale#’.Xyla found the first three topics full of various positive comments, and then she checked out the fourth hot topic.Upon clicking on it, Xyla saw a picture of Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates watching the competition inconspicuously. It was p
Everyone instantly nodded at her suggestion.“Let’s go for that. I want to eat fish too,” Annabeth Cates said excitedly.Josh Batton had an affectionate look in his eyes as he gently touched her face. “Fish it is, then.”“Okay, as you wish,” Stanley Batton replied with a smile.Everyone was on the same page.Soon, they arrived at the restaurant that Xyla Quest recommended. It had a relatively affordable price range, so the clientele consisted of ordinary folks.The interior design was also relatively basic, unlike those they frequented in high-class restaurants.Even so, Xyla and the rest were still very excited.For them, it didn't matter how high-class the place was, but the taste of the food was more important.Josh and Annabeth, who were still under disguise, entered inconspicuously behind Xyla and Stanley while they requested for a private room.Then, they all headed upstairs together.The seemingly elegant and outstanding party of four instantly attracted attention as
The waitress reluctantly left the private dining room, feeling like the luckiest person in the world as the door closed.Not only did she get to see Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton in person, but she also got to meet her beloved idol.Feeling wonderful, she walked down the stairs with lightened footsteps.Once the waitress had left, everyone in the private dining room felt more relaxed as they leaned back against their chairs.“Xyla, Team XS was amazing tonight. I’ve become a fan. I never used to like such things, but I think I might have fallen in love with eSports after tonight,” Annabeth Cates said as she rested her head against Josh Batton’s shoulder.She found herself attracted to the unyielding spirit of eSports after being able to experience it herself today.Xyla brightened up when she heard her. “All right, let’s watch competitions together from now on.”Annabeth nodded.“Annabeth, you could understand the game?” Stanley asked.“Yes, I can. I used to play it for a while
