Chapter 1877 1877: The Battle of Children
With the conclusion of the two matches, the Crowd of Misfits team secured two points.
The Holy Hall team, known for its skilled players, may have temporarily lost, but the team members were laughing and chatting, seemingly unconcerned about their setbacks in the first two games.
Having competed against the Quan Zhen Sect and observed the matches of the Crowd of Misfits, they were well aware of the strengths of Wang Yu and Evil Rampage
Thus, from the very beginning, the Holy Hall team had mentally prepared themselves and did not expect to dominate their opponents in terms of score in the first match.
Now, after the first two rounds, the only capable players left on the Crowd of Misfits team were Wang Yu and Evil Rampage
"The next match should be that chubby guy", Rockabye glanced at Evil Rampage and turned to a player dressed as an archer behind him, saying, "Machine Gun, don't let us down."
"Understood!" Machine Gun gave an OK gesture and instantly appeared on the arena.
However, it was Vainglory who stepped onto the stage for the Crowd of Misfits
Although the Holy Hall team was an established team, the players were updated quite rapidly, and this guy named Machine Gun was clearly a newcomer, looking to be only around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Vainglory was of a similar age to Machine Gun, but relatively speaking, Vainglory had even more fans.
After all, Vainglory demonstrated formidable strength in the last match yesterday and was one of the three iconic Pugilists of the Crowd of Misfits
With such impressive strength at a young age and a cute appearance, the audience had a strong impression of "Pride."
"?!"
Liu Huaqiang once said that being reckless is just part of being young; those who can reach the pinnacle of a world-class professional league at such a young age are bound to be quite arrogant.
Machine Gun was naturally a person who believed he was superior; in his eyes, the Crowd of Misfits team lived up to its name, with everyone being trash except for a few skilled players.
To Machine Gun, only Evil Rampage and Wang Yu were worthy opponents; he didn't even regard Yang Nuo as a threat.
At this moment, when Vainglory suddenly jumped up, Machine Gun felt a wave of disdain in his heart.
To ordinary people, Vainglory might seem like a skilled player, but top-tier experts are not ordinary.
The Kyushu team could see why Vainglory had significantly improved, and so could the Holy Hall team.
Considering "Pride"'s past performances, Machine Gun greatly underestimated his opponent.
"Hey! Hello!"
Just as Machine Gun was feeling discontent, Vainglory suddenly greeted him with a cheerful smile.
Although Machine Gun found Vainglory contemptible, he instinctively looked up.
Little did he know, at that moment, Vainglory made a mocking face at Machine Gun.
"Fk!"
Young people do have a short fuse.
Machine Gun, who already looked down on Vainglory, felt his anger rise when Vainglory dared to provoke him. He cursed and flipped Vainglory the bird.
"Hehe!"
However, seeing Machine Gun's middle finger, Vainglory was not angry; instead, a harmless smile spread across his face.
"Uncivil behavior! Yellow card warning!"
When Machine Gun was confused about why Vainglory had that expression, the system's notification rang in his ears.
Due to an incident during the Spring Championships where a player from a certain country exhibited extremely improper behavior, this international professional league specifically added a rule about civilized conduct.
The system, of course, wouldn't overlook Machine Gun's inappropriate behavior.
<<Rebirth>> has many young players, and misleading negative images are not allowed.
"Pfft, haha..."
Upon seeing a player from the Holy Hall team receive a yellow card right away, the audience erupted in laughter.
The members of the Crowd of Misfits team nearly went wild with laughter.
While laughing, they collectively praised Fearless, saying, "Old dog Fearless, you really have no shame... actually giving Vainglory such a vicious idea."
"All is fair in war!" Fearless said proudly. "Being able to skillfully utilize the rules is the mark of a true expert."
"Awesome, awesome!" Everyone gave Fearless a thumbs up.
"My God... what is that kid thinking..."
Compared to the joy of the Crowd of Misfits team, the Holy Hall team members were seething with frustration, covering their eyes and unable to bear watching Machine Gun on stage.
Damn it, that kid's skills are beyond question, but no one taught him how to deal with various little tricks in the arena.
They already knew that the Crowd of Misfits team was shameless, but they didn't expect them to be this shameless.
"???!"
Receiving a yellow card out of nowhere made Machine Gun freeze on the spot, and three seconds later, he exploded in anger, shouting, "What the hell! What does this stupid system want to express? Fk!"
Even classic curse words came out, showing just how furious Machine Gun was at that moment.
"God, please forgive this foolish child."
The Holy Hall team was in tears... Brother, if you got a yellow card, just be quiet, why are you even cursing at the system? A kid with no competition experience can't take it.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Machine Gun angrily berating the system, the members of the Crowd of Misfits team and the audience laughed even harder.
Indeed, the system did not disappoint everyone.
As soon as Machine Gun's words fell, the emotionless voice of the system echoed in the venue: "Holy Hall team player Machine Gun, uncivil behavior and insulting the system referee, receives a red card warning and is forcibly removed from the match. In this round, Vainglory from the Crowd of Misfits team wins."
With the system's notification, Machine Gun was dumbfounded as he was kicked off the arena.
Vainglory won without a fight, securing the third round for the Crowd of Misfits
Currently, the score stood at three to zero, with the Crowd of Misfits team leading and their two strongest players yet to appear.
"Zhi!!"
As soon as the third round ended, an alert sounded from the Holy Hall team, and at the same time, Rockabye stood up and said, "We request a halftime break."
Esports is also a physically and mentally demanding sport, so a halftime break is necessary.
To prevent unforeseen circumstances, professional matches allow each team one halftime break, apart from the stipulated rest time between the three rounds.
The sudden request for a halftime break from the Holy Hall team clearly indicated that they were thrown off rhythm by the Crowd of Misfits
It's understandable; the third match was originally planned for Machine Gun to face Evil Rampage, and as an archer, Machine Gun was very effective against full-on Pugilists.
But who would have thought that the Crowd of Misfits team would employ such underhanded tactics in the third round, directly disrupting the Holy Hall team's pre-established strategy.
...
During the halftime break, everyone exited the game pod, and at this time, the locker room door was tightly blocked by reporters.
As the Crowd of Misfits team approached, the reporters surged forward to surround Vainglory, asking, "Don't you feel ashamed for winning using such tactics?"
"No!" Vainglory replied with a cheerful smile, "Playing a match requires brains; I'm clearly much smarter than him."
