Chapter 101: Matchday 1 [1]

The game finally came to an end, Lionhearts Legacy won.

(English Pro Alliance:)

(Cyber Squad 2 – 8 Lionhearts Legacy)

At the end of the game, the pro players came out of their gaming booths, meeting each other in the podium to shake hands.

"Harvey!" "Harvey!" "Harvey!"

Harvey chants quickly broke out in the away stands as the Lionheart Legacy fans roared on their captain at the top of their lungs.

In response to their enthusiasm, Harvey smiled brightly, the customary celebrity smile, waving at them.

And then, the players of opposing teams shook hands, indicating fair play.

This time, Harvey thoroughly defeated Cyber Squad.

Lionheart Legacy defeating Cyber Squad..., well that was not something you see every day, so you could forgive the traveling away fans for being so excited.

The players shook hands one after the other but when it came to a certain player’s turn, Caster and Harvey, drama unfolded.

As soon as they shook hands, Caster gripped Harvey’s hand tightly who quickly responded in time as their eyes interlocked, fiery sparks seemingly flying through the space between their eyes.

It was a tense stare down.

The other players were worried.

"You played dirty old man". Caster said coldly. "Next time, we’ll win".

"Hah! You wish". Harvey laughed. Thinking of something, Harvey continued. "Boy, you seem to forget your place a lot because you’re now controlling the legendary Stinger of War".

"Now, let me tell you, you’re no Noah, and you’ll never be a Noah".

"..."

Isabella quickly intervened. "Harvey, you’re going too far".

"Teach your boy to be humble then". Saying that, Harvey shrugged off Caster’s handshake before walking off the stage.

On the stage, Caster’s hand was left hanging.

"...!" Caster shook in rage.

He had never been this humiliated in his whole life.

He glared daggers at Harvey’s back as he left. ’This mad man...!’

Well, this whole sequence, it made the newspaper headlines later.

...

The first game of Matchday 1 of the English Warstar Pro Alliance was concluded, but it was just 1 in a series of games in matchday 1.

That same day, after Cyber Squad’s game, another game was played.

For the second game of matchday one, around 7:00pm, Oblivion Knights of Leicester took on Shadow Dominion of Bradford.

The game was played in Leicester City, in Oblivion Knights home stadium.

Oblivion Knights is an English powerhouse club known for its aggressive PvP style and relentless pursuit of dominance. Though they’ve never quite attained the dominance, never winning a Warstar RPG championship trophy yet, they were challengers for the trophy every season.

They thrive in high-stakes clashes, often favoring berserker-like melee compositions in tournaments.

As for Shadow Dominion, it was a mid-table eSports club in the English Pro Alliance. They’re known for their reputation as a dark-horse team though.

Notorious for deceptive plays and psychological warfare, their guild in the game and pro team comprises of Avatars that thrive on shadow magic, curses, and illusion-based combat.

After the blockbuster game in London, the focus of the English Warstar community turned to this game in Leicester.

The starting V formation of Shadow Dominion comprised of the captain, Shadewalker who was an Assassin, a master of stealth and critical strikes. Specialized in ambush and debuffs, he was the core of team Shadow Dominion.

Apart from the captain, the starting V comprised of Hexweaver, a Warlock, then Phantom Mirage, an Illusionist, another variation of the Mage main class.

Then Nocturne Warden who was a Dark Paladin, another variation of the Blademaster class like the Paladin, but more of a defensive frontliner who absorbs damage and reflects it with dark energy.

The last in Shadow Dominion’s starting V is Ebon Priestess, a Shadow Cleric, a sub variation of the Cleric variation, a healer and crowd controller who manipulates negative energy to restore allies and drain enemies.

Shadow Dominion was one of the most eccentric and dynamic teams in the Pro Alliance, and their games are always different and exciting.

As for Oblivion Knights though, their starting V comprised of Bloodreaper, the captain who controlled a Berserker; Crimson Vanguard, a Paladin; Inferno Brawler, an Elementalist; Iron Mauler, a Blademaster; and Soulpiercer, a Gunner.

Oblivion Knight was an all-out offensive team.

A clash between these 2 teams was always going to be a treat.

The first individual battle was between Shadewalker and Bloodreaper, and like expected, it was an unforgettable treat.

A brutal clash of stealth and raw aggression.

Shadewalker’s ambush tactics allowed him to chip away at Bloodreaper’s health, but the Berserker’s frenzy mode activates as his HP drops, granting him insane attack speed and lifesteal.

Bloodreaper narrowly secured the first win for his team.

[Winner: Bloodreaper]

[Oblivion Knights, +1 point]

The second individual battle was between Hexweaver and Inferno Brawler.

Hexweaver’s curses and area control magic kept Inferno Brawler at bay, slowly draining his health.

Despite Inferno Brawler’s explosive combos, in the end, he could not break through Hexweaver’s dark magic.

Hexweaver won, making it a 1-1 draw in points.

The third individual battle was between Phantom Mirage and Soulpiercer.

Phantom Mirage flooded the battlefield with illusions, burning through MP but successfully disorienting Soulpiercer.

However, Soulpiercer’s Deadeye passive skill allowed him to identify the real mirage after missing for some time, landing a lethal headshot.

From that point on, everything progressed chronologically.

Soulpiercer won, giving Oblivion Knights the lead in the individual battles.

And then, in the 3 vs 3 battle rush, Shadow Dominion’s dynamism shone. Shadewalker went in first, dealing dilapidating stealth strikes to kill his opponent and setting the tone for the rest of the battle.

He was killed by Oblivion Knight’s next player but with the stage set, Hexweaver’s curses crippled Bloodreaper’s lifesteal.

At the end, despite a late surge from Inferno Brawler, Shadow Dominion managed to secure the win, getting 2 points to retake the lead from their opponents.

It was an exciting game of end-to-end action.

It was up to the team battle to settle the brawl.

In the team battle, Oblivion Knights went all-in with an aggressive push, while Shadow Dominion like usual weaved confusion and illusions across the battlefield.

Phantom Mirage’s manipulation forced Soulpiercer to waste shots, while Ebon Priestess kept her team alive with dark healing.

Shadewalker successfully assassinated Inferno Brawler, while Hexweaver’s curses gradually drain Bloodreaper’s strength.

Despite Oblivion Knights’ unstoppable strength, in the end, Shadow Dominion managed to overwhelm their opponents with strategy and control.

---<VICTORY>---

Shadow Dominion won.

(English Pro Alliance:)

(Oblivion Knights 2 – 8 Shadow Dominion)

Despite playing in their opponents’ home stadium, the dark horses managed to do it again, stealing such a convincing victory.

And then, the hate and banter began.

Oblivion Knights’ fans hated on their opponents for using such underhanded tactics to win, while Shadow Dominion fans trolled them for being too weak, only knowing to complain when they’ve lost.

...

Birmingham City, England...

"Hahaha!" Benjamin laughed his ass out.

"Hehe, I really missed the pro scene man". He sighed. "The banter, the hate, man, there’s no better source of joke inspirations in the world".

"Man, I feel like joining them".

"Better respect yourself". Caleb glared at him. "Noah already set a deadline for us; we need to join him to continue leveling up in the game soon".

"Remember, we’re receiving salaries now".

Benjamin sighed regretfully. "You’re right".
