Chapter 25 – Crossing The Bridge Realizations
"These squad is a monster! They made it looked so easy to kill two opposing squads! Five minutes! It only took five minutes for them to eliminate the HyperCarry squad, Hidden Wind, and Beast Squad! This is down to 1vs4!" the commentators clapped their hands after witnessing the coordination of three members. The crowd control skills from Clark's mage and Sofia's tank as well as the damage from Stephen's marksman. They were perfectly executed with accurate timing.
"It's the lack of focus! The two squads did not check the map to see if there is an enemy behind! Because they are confident that the enemy is only in the front. But that is their mistake. And the user of CEO UNRIVALED capitalized on their mindset to outplay them." WINS told his friend.
Perhaps it was the illusion of these two squads. They just completely assumed that Sofia's tank would stay in her position in the top lane. They did not know that on Sofia's screen, all her attention was on the map. Her fingers would flicker constantly to press the area of the middle lane and bottom lane. The Chronos squad did not plan for her to leave on the top lane. But plans sometimes do not apply when the opening was already offered willingly. All they had to do was to grab the opportunity and destroy their enemies!
"AH! We were too careless!" the squad leader of the Hidden Wind took a deep breath and shook his head several times.
"I didn't realize that the CEO UNRIVALED would come behind us. What a wicked player!" the fighter user spoke bitterly. He even stressed out that Sofia was wicked to have ambushed them behind.
"I'm just going out to smoke real quick." the squad leader said and quietly walked towards the smoking area.
"Don't over smoke. Smoking kills!" he heard one of his members called. He could also hear the criticisms from the audience but he brushed them off easily.
There was already another man smoking when he arrived at the place. He noticed three empty cigarette buts were placed on the ashtray.
"Yo!" the man greeted casually.
"We were eliminated." the Hidden Wind squad leader told the other person. He carefully took out his own box of cigarettes and lighter from the inner pocket of his jacket.
"AH." the other man mumbled a response before he sniffed on the tiny stick in between his middle and index finger. He was the squad leader of the HyperCarry. There was no need for the two of them to speak how much disappointment they felt. Dissatisfied with their gameplays. Just their silence was enough to convey their feelings.
"It's a game. One will win. The other will lose. But still, losing against the one squad that we planned to eliminate first makes the scorching pain burned deeply! It stings!" the Hyper Carry squad leader stated after he blew the smoke out of his mouth. The air around them instantly turned foggy for a minute before the smoke completely dissipated.
"We have underestimated them." the Hidden Wind squad leader asserted.
Whether they were reckless or unfocused. It's not really the reason why they were eliminated. The root of their actions was because they underestimated their opponent!
The Hidden Wind squad leader took only a single sniff of his cigarette before he crushed it on the ashtray.
"I rarely smoke. Hehe, I'm gonna watch the match again," he said and quickly went back to his teammates.
The HyperCarry squad leader stared at the retreating figure of the man paving his way towards the entrance door.

There were five remaining squads on the 40 – Player map. With the number of kills, the Chronos squad took an insane lead of their stats.
Although they have the advantage in gold and EXP, the Chronos squad returned to their position. They did not leave their lanes as tower stealing could also be possible in their situation. Their characters were like lords standing on the lane, just waiting for their prey to come on them.
The 4 remaining squads wanted to cry but could not even produce a single tear. Not only their morale became extremely low, but some of them also does not want to continue playing the match!
Farm!
On the side of the Pilot Gaming squad, they quickly secured their jungle. After realizing that three of their fake ally squads were completely annihilated and the gap of their character stats was too wide. The only remedy they could do is the EXP from the NPC monsters. They decided to the jungle!
The Elite Players squad leader also noticed the movements of the Pilot Gaming squad and reflected something. It was time to cross the bridge before it completely falls down!
If they continued on their fake alliance, there was a great chance for his squad to not gain a score at all!
The Noob Amateurs squad reflected the same. The two squads quickly looked for their targets. They scanned the map and observed the location of the other players.
The Legendary Gamers squad was standing openly on the river. Their character looked like they could not decide which way lane they should attack.
Before they come up with a decision, the players from the Elite Players squad already launched their attacks on them.
"Traitors!" one of the girls on the lounge yelled after realizing that her character was ambushed and killed by the marksman user of the Elite Players squad. She glared towards the area where the players of the squad sat.
"They have abandoned our alliance. Quick hide!" another girl slumped her shoulder and leaned on her seat. She gently placed her phone implying that her character was also eliminated.
The two remaining members quickly ran away. But soon after, they also arrived in the jungle where the Pilot Gaming squad members were farming. In a blink of an eye, the Pilot Gaming squad mage and fighter delivered series of skills and eliminated the two characters right away.
"We died!" they mumbled and sighed together.

On the large screen, the character stats were zoomed in by the operator. The commentators made a series of announcements before the screen displayed the map again.
