"I-chen is very strong; Xiao-tong, being a girl, cannot remove his leg from Jia-hong's hand. At that moment, the washroom door opens from inside and a boy comes outside and removes I-chen's leg from Jia-hong's hand—
I-chen, what are you doing? A case can be filed against you for this act. Your gaming career can be destroyed. Do you have any idea?"
★★★
Surrounding the e-sports tournament, all the teams are sitting in the meeting room of Lynx Club and holding a meeting about how they can become victorious in the upcoming tournament.
The stage is decorated, finally one by one the e-sports gaming fans are starting to gather in crowds. Within some time the tournament is going to begin. But Shi-han, an e-sports gamer, has not yet arrived at the club.
However, just as Shi-han could not yet be present at the club where the tournament is being organized, similarly a commentator has also not yet been able to become ready to conduct the tournament.
She was sitting in the makeup room memorizing the script for conducting the tournament. At that time the girl's senior commentator, her idol, that is, the presenter of all the tournaments surrounding e-sports in China, came.
Presenter:- Shin-yue, what's the matter? Still sitting in the makeup room memorizing the script?
Shin-yue:- Sorry Yu-heng sir, actually I am completely ready for today's presentation. Still, so that no mistake happens, I was just going through the script once.
Yu-heng:- Listen Shin-yue, E-Xing Company CEO Tian-lei has requested me to make you my assistant. That is why I have accepted you as an assistant. There is still time, if you are not ready to manage today's stage, then there is no need to present. I alone will take care of everything.
Shin-yue:- I myself told brother to request you sir. I am completely ready. Please give me one chance and see sir.
Yu-heng:- Alright okay, come.
The gaming presentation begins. On the stage, along with red, blue, green, golden lights, white smoke sparkles. In such a dazzling and thrilling atmosphere of lights, Yu-heng and Shin-yue walk side by side and come to stand straight in the middle of the stage and begin presenting the tournament.
★★★
First of all, they describe to the audience which teams from which clubs have participated in today's organized tournament.
After that, in order to increase the audience's excitement and the gamers' confidence, they call all the team members one by one onto the stage and ask each team to give their own entry.
After each team gives their own entry one by one, when the turn of Jeon Team comes, then in the minds of Yu-heng and Shin-yue along with all the audience only one question arises—
(Will Tournament Director Jun-hao play today from Jeon Team? In e-sports 4 players and the director himself are not allowed to participate in the game)
On behalf of everyone, at such an embarrassing question from Shin-yue, Director Jun-hao, who was standing beside Jeon Team, starts sweating. From beside the director, Captain Ji-xuan gives the microphone into the director's hand and says—
Ji-xuan:- I am the captain of Jeon Team. My duty is to build a friendly relationship with all the gamers of the team and make everyone skilled in gaming. But how any member of the team is, or whether any member of the team will be able to play in the tournament or not, the responsibility of seeing all these is our director sir's. Today our director sir himself is present in the tournament. He will give the answer to all of your questions.
Just as the presenter raises such a question on the stage about 'whether the team will be able to play in the tournament or not', Shi-han's cab comes and stops at the gate of Lynx Club.
Xiao-tong had already paid the cab fare earlier. Shi-han and Xiao-tong get down from the car and quickly run inside the club. Coming to the backstage, Shi-han gives her purse to Xiao-tong and tries to signal Captain Ji-xuan on the stage.
Shi-han tries to make understand whether she should come to the stage now or directly at the time of gaming. However Ji-xuan cannot see her signal, but Jun-hao sees her. After that he says to all the audience on the stage—
Jun-hao:- I know that in the e-sports tournament 4 players and the director are not allowed to play the game. But do you know that in the e-sports tournament not only boys, girls can also play?
At such a question from Jun-hao, murmuring begins among all the audience. To stop their murmuring—
Jun-hao:- Stop, all of you. Yes, till now none of you has ever seen a girl participate in an e-sports tournament before. Today for the very first time in the e-sports world, Gaming Queen Shi-han is going to step as the first female star.
Outside the intro of all our teams, the intro of a girl's success is a little different. So today I want to bring Gaming Queen as a surprise in front of you. I will request presenter Yu-heng to support my wish.
Shin-yue:- Thank you, Director Jun-hao. Dear audience, in the Chinese e-sports world we all have seen many men participate in tournaments. Besides, outside the stage many girls have played games on their own mobile phones or computers, laptops. But this is the first time any female star will participate in an e-sports tournament. Truly, it is a very big surprise for all of us. So with the eager interest of all the audience I will request, please come to the stage once, Gaming Queen Shi-han.
How skilled Shi-han is in gaming will be proven by her game. However Shi-han will play a tournament for the first time in her life. Like everyone, Shi-han is a little nervous, but her mental firmness is strong. In Shin-yue's presentation Shi-han comes to the stage with slow steps. Shi-han introduces herself to all the audience through some motivational words.
Shi-han:- Hello everyone. I am Gaming Queen Shi-han. Many opportunities came in life to present myself in front of all of you. But before starting my career, because of an unknown enemy I could not appear in front of you. With the cooperation of Captain Ji-xuan and everyone of Jeon Team, today I, Gaming Queen Shi-han, have got the opportunity to show my gaming skill in front of you. Though today I am participating in a tournament for the first time in life, I hope I will not disappoint my team. Thank you everyone.
Yu-heng:- Thank you Shi-han. In every person's life, whether known or unknown, enemies definitely exist. But if a person gets the support of loved ones, he can rise again in his career crossing hundreds of obstacles. Today you yourself are the proof of that. Dear audience, within a short time the bone-to-bone fight of the League of Legends (LoL) game is going to begin. So in today's organized tournament I will request all the participating teams, please go to your meeting rooms and wait until the first 2 teams finish their game. Thank you everyone.
Director Jun-hao hides his jealousy towards himself and survives this time by honoring Shi-han. In this way the own intro of each team ends. Intro ends, and begins one after another the gaming challenges of the teams and intense fights to win.
After the bone-to-bone fights of several teams one by one, Jeon Team reaches the final and against Shi-han's team Ying-zhao Team will play. According to the rules the game begins, but in bo1 that is the first match itself Jeon Team loses to Ying-zhao Team.
After bo1 both teams go from the stage to the meeting room to plan for bo2. There everyone was sitting and waiting for Jia-hong and Shi-han. After bo1 Jia-hong goes to the washroom, but there every room was locked from inside, that means someone was inside each washroom cabin. Jia-hong sits for some time on a bench in front of a table beside the washroom and waits. Jia-hong also had never played a tournament before. And today in the first match of his life's first tournament he has lost, so he feels sad.
After the first match Shi-han comes to the backstage holding her stomach, then Xiao-tong asks to drink a cup of coffee—
Xiao-tong:- Shi-han, will you drink coffee? You have gone through a lot of exhaustion the whole day. If you drink this coffee you will get some strength. Shall I bring coffee for you?
Shi-han:- No, I will not eat anything. My stomach is hurting a lot, come let's go to the washroom.
Xiao-tong:- Who knows what kinds of sorrows are dancing in our fate today, come.
In the club the boys' and girls' washrooms were side by side. While Xiao-tong was bringing Shi-han towards the washroom, suddenly a gamer of Ying-zhao Team presses Jia-hong's hand on the table with his foot and holds it down—
Jia-hong:- Ahh ahh I-chen, what are you doing? Leave, it hurts a lot. Just now our bo1 has ended, ahh I still have to play 4 more matches, don't hurt my hand.
I-chen applies more force with his leg—
I-chen:- It is because you will feel pain that I am pressing your hand and giving pain, not to leave.
Shi-han and Xiao-tong come to the washroom and become shocked seeing Jia-hong's condition. Suddenly in an unexpected way I-chen has pressed one hand of Jia-hong in such a way that Jia-hong cannot push I-chen's leg away from his right hand with his left hand.
As Shi-han suddenly feels a little sick, she cannot help Jia-hong. Jia-hong desperately tries to keep both his hands safe. But the ultimate target of I-chen of Ying-zhao Team is to give pain to Jia-hong's hand. Xiao-tong runs and tries to remove I-chen's leg from Jia-hong's hand—
Xiao-tong:- I-chen, leave Jia-hong. By hurting his hand like this do you think you will be able to win against Jeon Team? Truly, if your team can play better game than Jeon Team, that will be proven in the game. By beating Jia-hong will your game win, leave?
I-chen is very strong, Xiao-tong being a girl cannot remove his leg from Jia-hong's hand. At that time a boy opens the washroom door from inside and comes outside and removes I-chen's leg from Jia-hong's hand—
I-chen, what are you doing? A case can be filed against you for this act. Your gaming career can be destroyed, do you have any idea?
I-chen does not pay any attention to the boy's words. Seeing from a distance the boy who came out from the washroom—
Shi-han:- Chen-yu! Chen-yu, what am I doing here??
Shi-han asks herself, from her words it seems she perhaps knows Chen-yu. But it is doubtful whether anyone hears Shi-han's question. After Chen-yu removes I-chen's leg from Jia-hong's hand—
Xiao-tong:- Jia-hong, are you okay brother?
Jia-hong:- Sister, my hand is badly hurt.
I-chen:- Listen Jia-hong, go tell your Gaming Queen Shi-han that this time we will win the tournament. And now go and plan to break our nexus with Captain Ji-xuan.
Chen-yu:- Intentionally hurting someone's hand so that he cannot play well — showing big confidence with this kind of experience is not right, I-chen.
I-chen:- A substitute game will stay like a substitute game. What I will do or will not do, you do not have to give me that knowledge, Chen-yu. I know very well how to win in the game.
