Chapter 734


    It was a WeChat message from Stanley Batton. “Good luck for today’s match. I’ll be there to watch


    you.”


    After replying to Stanley with an ‘OK’, X Quest sat at her desk.


    She turned on herputer, but she didn’t immediately get to work. Instead, she opened Weibo to


    check the list of trending topics for today.


    X, Stanley, Josh Batton, and Shawn Gilbert’s names were still on the list.


    Apart from news about them, X also saw ‘#Team XS and Team IM’s grand finale#’ on the top ten


    list of trending topics.


    There was the word ‘sizzling’ at the end of the hashtag.


    X clicked on it excitedly.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    She immediately saw some messages from verified e-sports ounts regarding this season’s


    grand finale between Team XS and Team IM at five o’clock this afternoon.


    E-sports fans in the stadium were all predicting the winner of this match.


    Most of them ced their bets on Team IM winning.


    “Although Team XS is strong because it has X Quest this year, I think Team IM stands a better


    chance. They’re the number one team in the game.”


    “X might be good, but surely nobody thinks she and Levi can possibly beam Team IM’s bottom


    lane, right?”


    “You guys don’t have to think too much of X. Perhaps, she’s only good with a few heroes. If her


    usual heroes are banned today, she might be done for.”


    “It looks like the match might end up with Team IM winning all three games against Team XS.”


    “I disagree. I think Team XS stands a better chance. Things have changed since X joined them.”


    “How dare youpare them to Team IM, the best team in the game? Have you gone out of your


    mind just because they made a little progress?”


    After skimming through Weibo, X went over to League of Legends’ main page.


    There, she could see that most people still believed Team IM would more likely win. They all


    predicted that Team XS would at most win one out of four matches.


    Fans of e-sports had always been very straightforward.


    X had gotten used to this a long time ago, but she wasn’t affected by that so much on the inside.


    She still felt quite confident about the matchter. In recent days, X and her team had been


    getting along very well, and they had also established a good rapport with each other in the game.


    However, whether they would win today depended on their level of cooperation during the match.


    ***


    At five o’clock in the afternoon, the League of Legends grand finale of the season between Team


    XS and Team IMmenced in the stadium.


    There wasn’t a single vacant seat in the stadium that could fit 20,000 people.


    The number of viewers on live broadcasting tforms each exceeded 20,000,000.


    Since X had recently be very popr on the inte, she attracted many fans who never


    used to watch e-sports tournaments.


    Soon, the host went on stage and delivered a passionate opening speech. After that, yers from


    both teams went on stage to greet the audience.


    X had on very light makeup. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and her bright


    forehead was showing.


    When the stage lights shone upon her, she seemed to glow brighter than the rest.


    Meanwhile, other yers from Team XS around her had also gotten new hairstyles, and they had


    on light makeup as well.


    At one nce, Team XS looked prim and proper in general. They were all pleasant to look at.


    Nearby, Team IM didn’t seem to be too shabby. Alex alone made the entire team seem much


    ssier.


    The crowds were going wild off-stage…


    They continually waved glowing cards with each yer’s name on them while they cheered the


    yers on with all sorts of phrases like ‘you’re amazing’, ‘you’re the best’, ‘go get them’.


    Among these yers, Alex and X had thergest number of fans.


    It seemed that most of the cards had the two of their names on them.


    Right then, Stanley sat in the first row of seats in a low-profile manner as he watched X basking


    in attention on stage.


    Stanley was wearing a neatly ironed white shirt, coupled with formal ck pants. His sleeves were


    slightly rolled up, and three of the top buttons on his shirt were left open.


    A few love bites were somewhat visible around his neck, and it made him look both cold yet


    desirable.


    While they sat around Stanley in a circle, every bodyguard had a serious facial expression on their


    face.


    With Stanley’s extremely good looks, he was able to draw many people’s attention.


    Very soon, the match began.


    The broadcasting director was smart enough to offer X and Stanley each a few seconds of


    screen time.
