"How was it? How did that Iron Bull respond?"
After returning to the room dejected, Uranus was quickly surrounded by the others from the Pantheon.
"Not great!"
Uranus shook his head and said, "The Iron Bull was quite easy to talk to, but the people around him were extrely annoying, especially that priest—his every move makes very uncomfortable."
Uranus was also a very intelligent guy. People like him are fearless in anything, but their only weakness is the fear of having their thoughts seen through.
Although he had only exchanged a few words with Fearless, it felt as if Fearless could see right through him, and every sentence seed to hit Uranus at his most sensitive points. Such a person was indeed sowhat repulsive in Uranus's eyes.
"What kind of treatnt can he offer? How could he possibly want to keep such a strong player in his team?" The others were sowhat puzzled by Uranus's words.
There's a saying that good birds choose good trees to roost in; in the professional esports scene, teams are strong based on the conditions they offer. Great players like Wang Yu co around only once in hundreds of years; what capability does an amateur team have to dare to support such a deity?
"It's not just about the treatnt", Uranus replied. "So people don't look at money alone."
At this point, Uranus added, "From their performance, it seems this group of guys is a team ford by very good friends, and currently, treatnt probably won't have much effect."
"So what should we do? Didn't the boss say..."
"Heh." Uranus smiled and said, "In this situation, we certainly need to tackle the problem at its roots. Since they value their friendship so much, let's start there and undermine their bond."
"How... how do we do that?" The group was sowhat surprised.
"Of course, we stir up their conflicts", Uranus said nonchalantly.
"Are you joking? They are friends playing in the sa team; how can there be any conflicts? They aren't a temporary team!" the others questioned.
"Hehe." Uranus chuckled. "Have you noticed that prodigy? What does everyone think of his strength?"
"Um, quite impressive", they nodded in agreent. "This guy is extrely strong, even we can't be sure we could defeat him."
"In a team, if there are only these two individuals whose abilities far exceed the others, do you think they won't have conflicts?" Uranus said proudly.
One has to admit that Uranus's reasoning was not wrong; two tigers cannot coexist on the sa mountain... As a player from a top-tier team, Uranus was very familiar with this.
Every top-tier team will have a core expert, and the value of that core expert is naturally higher than that of others. Everyone would have their own sches to beco that core expert.
Moreover, so core experts are not very decent; during matches, they can be quite self-centered, leading to teammates quitting mid-ga or verbally attacking them when things don't go well... Therefore, the competition for core expert positions within each team can be very fierce.
However, in top-tier teams, everyone often has the potential to be a core expert, so conflicts spread among dozens of people and don't seem apparent. But the Crowd of Misfits team is an amateur-level team with only a few experts, one of whom is a girl, making the competition for the core expert position much more evident.
After all, everyone is a skilled player, and the desire to compete is universal.
"The boss makes a good point."
Since everyone was in the professional scene, they naturally understood the underlying issues within the team. They empathized with Uranus's words.
"When I arrived, that fat guy was hiding downstairs smoking", Uranus smiled and said. "I shared my thoughts with him, and he was very happy and expressed his willingness to help us."
"That guy won't be lying, will he?" the others asked cautiously.
"That guy is quite shrewd", Uranus replied. "He's afraid I might not keep my word, so he even made a written agreent with . Lie? He wouldn't be able to continue in the professional scene if he did."
In the professional scene, credibility is the most important thing because everyone isn't tied to their current team; transfers are a common occurrence, and skilled players naturally have to manage their reputation.
A written agreent is equivalent to a contract, and it's common for everyone to have a copy.
First of all, if that prodigy agrees to help Uranus deal with Wang Yu, it's inherently a very untrustworthy act. Uranus has that written agreent in hand; if Evil Rampage takes the money and doesn't follow through, Uranus can pull out the agreent and Evil Rampage's reputation will be ruined.
Let's not even ntion that Evil Rampage took the money and acted treacherously; even if he just played along, transfers involve buying and selling players, and no one would want to pay for an undercover agent, so they would naturally be quite wary of Evil Rampage.
After all, the higher the skill level, the more valuable the transfer; a powerhouse like Evil Rampage, who exceeds first-line experts, has a value that is evident, and he wouldn't ruin his reputation for a bit of money.
...
Of course, all of this applies to professional esports players, but Evil Rampage is actually the owner of the Crowd of Misfits team; this guy isn't making a living by playing matches.
To buy off an opponent's behind-the-scenes boss and have him betray his own team... It's surprising that Uranus could co up with such a thought.
Moreover, who is Wang Yu? He is Evil Rampage's older brother, the idol Evil Rampage has admired since childhood; even his ga character is modeled after Wang Yu's face. Asking Evil Rampage to deal with Wang Yu? Isn't that absurd?
But this isn't solely about Uranus's intelligence; the key is that no one would expect the team owner to personally step onto the battlefield and play, and that they wouldn't even be able to beco a captain or team leader.
After learning of Uranus's thoughts, Evil Rampage almost laughed out loud; back in his room, he casually handed Uranus's written agreent to Fearless.
Looking at the written agreent from Uranus in his hand, a cold smile flickered across Fearless's face.
...
The morning sunlight stread through the windows onto the Kyoto Sports Arena.
Amid the anticipation of thousands of spectators, the most exciting finals of the S-level professional league had finally arrived.
Five teams, led by the staff, entered the venue amidst the cheers of the audience, taking their seats one after another.
Today, there were a total of five teams participating in the matches.
Like yesterday, there would be four matches in total.
The matches would still be random; first, two teams would battle it out to determine the top three, then two teams would be randomly selected again for the finals, culminating in the championship battle.
Teams that managed to fight their way through the elimination rounds to the finals are, without a doubt, the best of the best, and the matches would surely be much more exciting and intense than those of the previous days.
