Half a year ago.

San Francisco, USA, 60,000 people in the gym.

Dota Esports Peak CG World Finals Scene.

The light and shadow flicker, and the dazzling beams of hundreds of spotlights cast illuminate the gymnasium in a psychedelic and colorful way. The jumping rapidly makes people feel bloody and excited.

Tens of thousands of e-sports players shouted wildly.

Applause and cheers were like mountains and tsunamis, deafening, resounding over the entire arena.

At the center of the stage of the gymnasium, a huge "3:2" record data was displayed on the giant electronic screen.

It symbolizes the last battle that just ended, and it was a shocking kill.

no!—no!—no!—

no!—no!—no!—

The noisy and boiling shouts in the gym gradually became uniform, and all e-sports players were shouting the same name.

no, that is, the abbreviation of the English word number.

That is the name of the winning team.

It is the peak king team that won this WCG World Championship.

On the left side of the e-sports stage, five North American players from the glory team sat in front of their respective special event computers with a gray complexion, feeling listless and unrestrained.

From the North American division to the stage of the World Finals, from the group stage to the knockout stage, and then to the final of today's final, they overcome all difficulties and paid countless hard work and prices.

But I didn't expect-

Still defeated.

(and……)

The young blonde, who was the captain of the glory team, looked a little distorted because of his unwillingness. He clenched his quarrel teeth and looked at the winner's seat not far away.

(In fact, I lost to such an opponent-)

The glory team captain's eyes fell, and the winner on the other side was silent.

The ecstasy atmosphere of celebration that he should have had was not as good as winning the finals.

Looking carefully, in the competitive seat on the left, in front of the seats of the five dedicated event computers, there was a strangely empty person, and even one computer was kept in a black screen shutdown that had not been turned on.

Depressed. Cold.

It was incompatible with the tens of thousands of viewers who were watching the game in the field.

Such a glorious peak champion, which symbolizes the most cg world finals in the Dota e-sports circle, actually...

Never been there at all!?

This also made the five players of the glory team, who were defeated, feel even more ashamed and wronged. The feeling of loss and humiliation of defeat increased significantly at this moment, and their chests were so stuffy that they wanted to kill.

So, the five strong murderous eyes, which were as strong as real as the most serious, turned to the other side of the competition seat not far away with anger.

The first thing to see is a bright golden nameplate printed with the team name placed on the table of the seats—
Chapter completed!
