Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room
Book 1: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 7
“What’d you bet for this game?” Ai Qing took a long sigh .
She admitted their loss and prepared to accept the punishment .
“Bet?” Everyone spoke as they recovered from the excitement .
They were too high from playing just now that they had forgotten why there was a grievance round in the first place .
Someone had already uploaded the video of the match onto a DotA2 forum .
The video was a shock to the community . All the players were in a frenzy when they saw so many
famous alternate ids from SP and K&K .
In just a little over 10 minutes, there were already several thousands of posts filling up more than thirty web pages .
Ten players, two teams .
Not a single one of them were weak .
The most popular players, of course, were the big shots Grunt and 97 . After all, these two were the king of rookies, who’d won many big money awards recently . More and more people joined the online discussion, then the subject slowly switched to Momomo and Apple Dog .
……
“Is the id ‘Momomo’ still alive? Did the account close and someone re-registered it?”
“Re-registered? You are
are joking . Didn’t you watch the video? He cleared the battlefield like a scythe and trapped the enemy like rats ……”
“ . . . . . . it’s so unexpected that Apple Dog would appear here . Where is Solo?”
“Solo is now one of the SP Chinese Regional managers . He could care less about winning award money the hard way, with keyboards . ”
“What’s happening between him and Gou Gou now?”
……
The posts had dramatically switched towards personal gossip .
Ai Qing closed the web page .
There were various types of penalties for a grievance round . It could be as
be as small as a Truth or Dare game, or as large as a money bet, disbandment of the team, or even retiring from the circle of the game… . . . Of course, they were definitely not going to disband the team or retire tonight .
So, what was the penalty?
“It seems like the loser just agrees to a request from the winner . There was no actual agreement, but it can’t be related to video games . ”
Solo’s apprentice answered . He thought he was pretty smart himself .
After all, with the term “not related to video games”, the penalty should not affect SP too much . too much .
The referee of the game was urging K&K to submit their “request” in the meanwhile .
There was no response, it seemed that they were still pondering .
What request would K&K ask for?
Ai Qing could not think of any possible request .
Not just her, everyone in the room and the excited players waiting on the forum were also guessing . What request would K&K make to SP? Some thought it might escalate to the club level; many didn’t dare to guess any further .
Suddenly, Grunt sent a response:
“Please ask SP’s top commentator Apple Dog to make a commentary video for the game we just played . ”
