Chapter 1 - Intro 1: Where it all starts

Intro 1 –

Philippines, September of 20XX, Wednesday

Jon's

The fast and simultaneous pressing sound of the mechanical keyboard, hasty clicking of the mouses, and murmurs on the on Headphone's microphone are the only things you can hear constantly in this room. Focusing on the game in front of my screen, it doesn't matter what is going on outside this pale white room. The five of us playing on edge of our own seats, as if we've playing for our lives on the line are in stake. Despite our emotions are peaking, I need – we need to be focus than ever in this very game we are playing because of our disadvantage we are facing.

"Kit, zone them out in the Baron Pit." I said as I was in the other side of the map, killing monsters but I stopped it to catch up on what kit is located as the opponents are motive is to kill the baron while us are scattered.

"I can't, they are trying to do fast baron using Kai'Sa,Karma and Lee Sin while blocking me out of vision in the baron by their top and support." He said predicting on what they will do

"Distract it kit, I'll use my Teleport to you when I gather more allied minions at the enemy's 2nd tier tower." Diego said while clearing the wave of enemy minions at the bottom side of the map.

"They are not starting yet but they are all in the baron pit pinning you down Kit." Jha hastily said then he wards his last farsight trinket in his inventory at the pit but easily put it down for us to have a dark vision of the pit and baron."

"Copy." As kit is trying to lure them into our jungle bush ramp because he was giving them info that he was alone there.

As I am rushing to kit, i am already at the mid lane going into Kit's Syndra baiting them in while making him too vulnerable to corner.

"Diego." I said as a signal to teleport now.

"Coming from the top side river bush." Diego said

"I'm at the enemy ramp in Ren's back while Ren is waiting Diego to go in."

"Waiting to interrupt the Ornn���s ultimate." Kit said as he damaging them with dark spheres but he only damages the Ornn's which a heavy tank to the enemy team.

"I'm helping, I'll cocoon him for insurance." I said to him

"No trust me, I can do it." Kit persistently said to me, I stay silent to trust him so I rush to him but waiting for Ornn's call of the forge god to activate.

"They all don't have flashes as we are too but Kai'Sa will have in 45 seconds as we predicted."

In a span of 15 seconds of initiating the luring it by kit, we transition it to trap play.

Ornn's ultimate activtes calling the magma ram into him to slow and brittle Syndra then change its ramming position to Kit's champion to airborne her and stun while their allied Viktor plants a gravity field on the right side entry near the destroyed 1st tier tower to avoid flank at the middle of their formation but I walk into front of ornn instead as I predicted on what will the enemy viktor will do to secure the kill on syndra.

As to Ornn going to use his head to reposition the Magma ram into her but Syndra successfully interrupts Ornn by knocking him using scatter the weak skill together with her dark spheres further knocking the other 2 opponents beside him.

As I am waiting in that cue, I simultaneously use my cocoon, neurotoxin, and exploding volatile spiderling into vikor then morph into spider form to use venomous bite and skittering frenzy buff boosting attack speed myself to instantly kill him but it is not enough damage so syndra use her unleashed power to bombard viktor with all her dark spheres including 3 of her dark spheres surrounding her.

All the while going on the 2 of us, Diego's poppy use steadfast presence to burst her movement and successfully heroic charge Kai'Sa pushing her back against the wall, stunning her to use keeper's verdict channeling his hammer into ground knocking her up in place to further disable her to keep her in place then Ren's thresh hooks karma pulling him in near karma and Kai'Sa to flay them while Jha's Senna hitting them safely at the back focus-firing Kai'Sa.

They react by damaging them but the Leesin near to Ornn didn't react in time that Viktor instantly dies and kick only me far but my objective is done while Kai'sa is whittled down by senna and didn't do anything the whole 3.5 seconds pinned to poppy was about to hammer shock her then auto-attacking her to death.

That 12 seconds of fast engagement that Viktor, Kai'Sa, and karma died is the tipping point to where we are winning now leaving Lee Sin and Ornn alive.

We rush to the mid lane to destroy the 3rd tier tower, inhibitor then nexus to win cementing the 5th game of the series which we reverse sweeping the Apoy E-sports 3-2 in the Lower bracket finals to fight MSG Claws in the Grand Finals on Saturday at the MOA arena live this week.

The room stays silent but in 2 seconds the scream is heard from the room being happy that we won but the relief I feel to win this to cement our spot in the worlds either as a seeded or wildcard team.

Then the whole team enters the room jumping and rushing to us ecstatic to what happened, we never thought that we will win the series when we are pinned in 2 games of the enemy team but as always, different game will have different results that will turn in our favor.

I stand up to my seat—tired mentally, I greeted my team staff with hugs in the room.

"Dude that was so epic, the transition of trap play that Kit luring setup was amazing." One of our Team staff said to me.

"All credits to him though, one tide made by him turn the tables favor on our side." I said in thankful tone

"But the amazing was how flexible the setup that every corner, enemy Kai'Sa is surely dead." Staff

"Yeah, I never thought that transition was effective. It's only an improvised plan based on the situation."

"Sugoi-ne!" we just both laughed because the way he said it.

"Hey, congrats!" A typical Japanese looking male wearing a black suit and tie with black slacks and pair of shining black leather shoes – Ken sees me and hugs me

"Don't celebrate yet, we have a grand finals to prepare on Saturday."

"Don't worry, we have planned it out. We will have a long briefing tomorrow, sounds good?" He said to me in assuring tone.

"Yes, indeed." Agreeing to him and I relax completely since all are planned our for preparation for the Final Match

I see a female woman—a mix of blond and black hair together with her brows and lashes in her eyes wearing a black Jackals hat, jacket, a jersey shirt covers only her chest and half of her belly, Maong shorts 2 inches below the knee and black rubber shoes with golden linings. She is pouting at me when she meet me

"Eeeeeyyy!! Reverse sweep!" I boastfully said to her, mocking her. Then she hugs me but she is kicking my legs using hers, annoyed to my face

"Really, douche?!" bicker to me but she laughs.

"Hey its okay, you will get you chance next time. You only had bad games today, remember that."

"I know, but I'm frustrated because I want to do better." She lonely said to me.

I pat her head—"You did your best at the circumstances, not all the time you're in tiptop condition and we didn't expect that most of is the enemy team pin you down early as one of their strategies."

Even though she was sad, she immediately stops it because she will have a chance to recover her bad games on Saturday—preparing her mind in the upcoming match.

The studio staff called Kit for the player of the game and also player of the series at the PCS Caster's Desk watched by everybody on the internet via live stream as to interview on what happened to the game.

"Kit, less informative and point out the mistakes of the opponent." I said to him as to what to say in the interview because we are surely will be participating world summoner's cup on October so I just remind him to talk discreet and He agrees to it then he leaves at the room going to the studio.

We are getting our equipment, keyboard and mouse into our own bags also I voluntary pack Kit's equipment so the team staff can put it on the Small Utility Van.

We're waiting to Kit in the lobby of the BGC building to where the Garena office is located while I'm talking to Ken on what are the plans tomorrow and schedule as he was the Head Coach of the team.

<"Is the schedule okay?"> He asks in Nihongo (<>= different language)

<"I suggest that change it to light training instead of what we usually do because of the little timeframe; we just need to sharpen and polish our fundamentals before the series and prioritize rest right now. We just need to be briefed tomorrow and also practice the possible champion lineups."> I positively said to him. The plan is smooth enough but he needs to consider that we need more rest right now since we played five long games today.

<"Okay, I'm so glad I ask you to this."> He said in relief.

<"Your plan was great, you're getting there."> I smiled to him.

<"I'll just call the other staff for the plan tomorrow.">

<"we'll just wait to kit.">

"Okay, I'll wait you all outside." He said and I nod.

My other teammates still watching

-------------------

Before we go into the Van, Ken and I gave a short briefing on what will be the plans tomorrow for the preparation for Saturday games in the lobby.

We go into our SUV coated in black color with gold scratches with a Black Jackals Photo—the whole trip is quiet because most of us are sleeping and Ken was exhausted to bug off the journalists coming to the team with the help of the guards in the BGC building.

I am left window at the back of the driver's seat watching the road when I hear the Staff beside me watching E-sports and games in Youtube and the controversial news that he was awe about it, I got curious too so watch what he was awing in his phone.

-"Tri-Gon Video game Company questionably gave a massive layoff of employees this week that confirms their why there are almost stopping all the content of their gaming capsule games and cancelling as well their upcoming projects and console games in the company. Only 200 employees left at the company and the employees that got laid off are still silent about this while some of them are called by the other gaming companies to work there. There is no statement of the President of the Tri-Gon, Dr. Rita Furukawa about this decision of the company."-
