High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 580 - 253: Your Phone Must Always Have 20% Battery Remaining_3

Overall, his performance is decent; his shooting is precise, and he can usually get a few eliminations for the team.

However, the team leader is a bit reckless, and incomplete information led to Li Yang being ambushed in one round.

The upside is that the team leader’s shooting is quite good.

But gathering information is mostly done through close combat, and in such situations, good shooting skills are only a slight advantage. Even the best shooter can’t handle two or three opponents alone.

The first team is stronger, but Li Yang feels more comfortable playing on the second team.

Once Li Yang left, the players immediately surrounded Wu Tianqi: "Manager, how did you manage to bring in Yang God? He’s amazing! How much did our team spend?"

Every LOL team in the world wants to recruit Li Yang, but ever since completing his matches three years ago, he completely stopped playing.

With such a huge business empire now, he’s probably even less interested in gaming.

Yet they didn’t expect the chance to play with Li Yang again.

"We didn’t spend a cent; he’s the owner of Koala Club."

"Huh?"

"Just do your best in the tournament. If you secure a PCL spot, Li Yang will come back and play as your teammate! If you can’t, our Koala Club will have to disband!"

"What the hell, really? Yang God is coming back?"

"Do it! Do it! Do it!"

Wu Tianqi certainly doesn’t want Koala Club to disband; he likes Jiangbei very much, especially because of Yang Shanshan.

If Li Yang hadn’t come today, he would’ve gone on a date with Yang Shanshan.

That evening, major forums in the eSports sections buzzed with a piece of news.

The owner of Koala Club is actually Li Yang!

Previously, everyone thought it was some rich lady.

And the biggest revelation is that Li Yang is planning a comeback, provided Koala Team secures a PCL spot.

"Damn, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament organizers, if you have any decency, just give Koala Team a spot."

"This massive fortune has fallen into your lap; let’s see if you can catch it."

"Don’t tell me you don’t know what to do? Surely not, surely not?"

...

"Why are you getting all excited? Koala Club only plays PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds; there’s no LOL. Just because Li Yang is good at MOBA games doesn’t mean he can play FPS games well too; he’ll just be cannon fodder!"

"Cannon fodder your ass! Haven’t you watched his streams before? He gets twenty or thirty kills per game."

"Laughable, the game had just launched back then; most players were amateurs. Let him try now?"

"Heh..."

Li Yang has a massive fan base because he gives players the greatest emotional value, unlike other players who give nothing.

This news spread, and many who had quit gaming specifically re-downloaded PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to start playing again.

Then, they experienced 3D motion sickness.

But they persevered and kept playing.

Some even went to Li Yang’s Weibo to comment, asking if the news was true.

In just a few days, with the PCL qualifiers beginning, the accumulated comment threads on Weibo hit over three hundred thousand posts.

The qualifiers last six days, with the first three days cutting down from twenty-four teams to sixteen.

After a day’s break, the final three days determine the top eight, who directly qualify for a PCL spot.

Li Yang didn’t respond, intending to wait until the tournament ended and Koala Team secured a spot to announce his comeback.

But they waited until the second-to-last day’s matches finished.

Koala Team barely secured a spot in the top sixteen, sitting at fifteenth.

But in the final stage, after two days of matches, they ranked last.

The eighth place team amassed seventy-five points in two days, while Koala Team managed only twenty-five points over two days.

With a fifty-point gap and only five matches in a day, even if the top eight score nothing, they would still need to earn at least ten points per match to break into the top eight.

Based on previous data, Koala Team needs over sixteen points per match.

It’s basically a death sentence already.

Li Yang returned home to find Bai Qing had returned, with a file placed in the study.

It contained the viewership data for the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds qualifiers.

Typically, these matches have a small audience, and having thousands of viewers would already be considered impressive.

But... it showed over two million viewers.

That’s incredible!

All over two million tuned in specifically to watch Koala Team.

"The numbers are good; why do you look unhappy?"

Li Yang squeezed Bai Qing’s shoulder and asked.

Bai Qing’s body felt pleasantly soft; he especially enjoyed sleeping while hugging Bai Qing. It was the ultimate earthly pleasure.

Bai Qing smiled and said: "I discovered that my husband’s influence is more powerful than ever. A small tournament like this, yet you’ve elevated it to a top-tier event. Although the tickets were free, the city league finals previously only had a limited live audience and merely a few hundred thousand online viewers. But in the past few days, the venues have been fully packed."

"Should I play on the last day?"

"No way! At worst, Koala Team can acquire a team with a PCL spot. It’d be embarrassing for you to enter such a secondary league."

"But I just posted on Weibo that I’ll be playing in the matches tomorrow."

"What?"

Bai Qing looked at Li Yang, perplexed.

If Koala Team still had a chance, she wouldn’t mind.

But now, Koala Team has no chance at all. For Li Yang to play at this point, there’s nothing to gain but humiliation.

In the eyes of eSports players, Li Yang holds an exalted status.

Bai Qing certainly wants to develop the league, but for her, Li Yang’s honor is above everything else.

Even though she knows this is an opportunity, if Li Yang can turn the tide, it would further elevate his legendary status, and the league’s popularity would soar.

But those are external things and can’t compare to what’s truly important.

"It’s not without conditions. If I lead Koala Team to the top eight..."

"Even if you don’t play, I’ll agree to anything."

"Look, you’re willing to do anything for me, so it’s only fair I do something for you too. Anyway, I don’t care about losing a bit of reputation. Tomorrow night, just watch and see if my aim is sharp!"
