Book 1: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 1
Behind her, a new member explained the situation in a low voice, “Solo’s apprentice used an alternate id to play ranked games . He got into a minor dispute with someone and they agreed to solve it with a grievance round . In the beginning, it seemed like a joke, but we unexpectedly lost the first game . Since everyone happened to be bored here, we’re taking turns playing one by one . We have some wins and losses up to now, 3 to 7 . ”
“3 to 7? And we’re the 7?”
“Yeah, we’re 7 . If we
lost more than we won, then we better simply stop and commit suicide right now as an apology . ” Xiaoduo made a face, but seemed quite relaxed .
So, it was a grievance round between SP players and someone?
“Whose turn is it now?” She asked .
“The whole ME team already had their turns, and the IG team is almost done . If we continue to play, probably the bosses will give it a try too . ”
ME and IG had already played?
Both these teams had won the Asian Tournament championship and were in the top three of various international competitions… . . . In other words,
words, these two were considered the best even in the SP club .
Needless to say, right now they must have run into professional players .
Ai Qing moved her eyes away from the screens and glanced at the man across the dining table from her . Solo still wore a simple, pure white, long-sleeved polo shirt . With one hand inside his pants’ pocket as usual, he was quietly talking with other members around him .
He sensed her gaze and looked back at her . “Do you feel it strange that we’re paying so much attention to this grievance round?”
“Are the opponents all professional players?”
“Almost, “ Solo
“ Solo chuckled . “You may know some of them . ”
Someone she knew?
She knew too many professional players .
“It was Grunt . ”
Solo gave her a name .
Grunt .
He was a dangerous player who rose to fame by playing Starcraft 2 . From the beginning of this year until now, he had won more than 800,000 RMB personal award prizes .
And this man had some connections with Ai Qing .
He almost became Ai Qing’s older twin sister’s boyfriend .
Just almost .
Of course, the point was not about small gossip .
Grunt had not signed with any club after he became famous . famous . SP got in touch with him two months ago, but unfortunately it did not work out . But just five days ago, he suddenly announced that he had joined a very young club------K&K .
A new club founded in the spring last year, but they had developed very fast . They had competed with SP players in several tournaments . They won one championship and three runners-up . In the meantime, they poached three SP players to join them this summer, offering them extremely high pay .
And now, with K&K recruiting Grunt, they intention to compete against SP was obvious .
