-"E-Sport news

The Japan MSBY Black Jackals E-sports have earned to fight against Taiwan MSG Claws in the Grand Finals at the MOA arena center tomorrow so fans of the both teams are sure to be there but that's not the focus on here.

First we talk about MSG Claws, they've been always in the worlds every year since they were formed years ago but they didn't make any progress besides their lower bracket finals last year. They want to conclude this year by getting this year world's cup, and now they're doing it again by just a roster of this year's rookies from Taiwan! That is a fairytale story that will be timeless for generation if they can get the world cup this season.

Only one man I need to mention right now to make this happen: Reaper, a South Korean coach from MSG Claws that has switched from Starcraft 2 Professional player to LoL coach that has became this team so great for the past couple of years. He's leadership led Claws monopolize the PCS trophies in the last ten years and the only missing is a World Championship Trophy to cement themselves in the region.

But everything has a opposite of what Claws are doing, and this is MSBY Black Jackals—a roster that is total opposite to their opponent team, Claws this year. They are composed of veterans by being the youngest are the sophomore duo Hop and Bop, the unpredictable duo in the world that even foreign regions are watching this two.

Next, is the youngest of the team but has a 7 year experience in LoL Professional scene, Kit! Despite not getting a single trophy yet in his career, He is one of the best Midlaners out there that can make a mistake goes by a mile.

Don't forget the most veteran of them all—Santi. The Top laner which is the only veteran that survives the imperial dynasty of the Emperor in the 4 years ago, spanning 10 years of absolute dominance in the Professional League.

The most loved players this season, CHAchi and CRIMSON!

CHAchi—a three year veteran that has won championship trophy as rookie, looking for another one and having a struggle this season but still can compete despite her adversities.

Lastly the HALL OF FAME Proplayer that cement the memories of this generation's LoL Fans, CRIMSON! Also known as the Emperor's greatest general, the one who stayed with him in the decade of dominance in the world and has one more world championship trophy to add up to eleven despite 2 years without Emperor on his side anymore.

This year's PCS summer split will be concluded by the two teams. A team consists of enormous rookie talents wanting to bloom or a Team consists of seasoned veterans of different generations, who will win in this clash? Stay tune and watch in this channel and other streaming sites by Garena.

We finished the meeting is done for about 3 hours of planning on how we will defeat the Claws on Saturday. Everyone is not nervous but the atmosphere is tense—despite winning 11 world trophies as a PCS team participant, I never got a Regional split trophies in my career because of this guys so I want to have at least one in my whole career.

I'm on the inside of LoL E-sports team department room sitting at the cornermost window that I see the expressway and the people walking at the overpass—on the opposite of me are the 7 computers we use for the team, 5 for the team skirmish practices and 2 for the analyst job.

"Hey Jon, Maribelle said that she will have a sleepover later tonight and she invited to come so, is it okay for you?" Charice asks to me wearing a Black Jackals jersey long sleeve shirt covering her whole body and her fitted blue maong pants with pair of black flats going into the room that the door automatically opens up.

"of course, the more the merrier. No big deal to talk about this since Maribelle calls you the next after she asked me." I said to her, I don't know but the way she as ask is like she wants to not disturb something.

"Just help me with groceries because I have things to ingredients to cook later."

"What will you cook tonight?"

"I'm going to make tortilla fillings."

"Oh shit! Really? I'm not gonna miss it, good thing Maribelle asks."

"I told you, if Maribelle asks you to come to my house don't ever say no."

"Sir, yes Sir!!" She Military salutes me properly to me and I just laughed at it.

We both go to car at the basement parking lot going to my house but we stopped by the Supermarket on the way. We parked at the front of the store, list of the ingredients to buy and call Maribelle on what time she will go to my house.

We we're at the Cashier's counter to where Charice pay the things we get from the supermarket using my wallet, as always while I'm calling Maribelle.

"JJ!!"

"Hello, I just want to ask to what time you'll arrive in my house."

"Actually, I'm at your house right now. You know, I get the key under the floor brick." I told to Cha murmuring that she is the house already and she only chuckles.

"Just wait for us okay, don't start drinking. We're not there yet."

"Okay, okay. Just get here fast."

"Yea, bye."

"Bye."

I end the call and look at Cha to get the one of the bags she's carrying. "I'll assume that Maribelle is started drinking some of the left over beer there, if you want to drink beer, we just need to buy now then?"

"I think we better not, I'll message via online to Maribelle to leave us two each. We have a series tomorrow so better not to have hangovers this time of period."

"Okay then." As we walk out at the supermarket, I see a flower shop at the opposite side of the road and saw the outside of it brimming with bright flowers of different kinds at thought something.

"Hey, I'm going to buy some flowers. Can you wait here?"

"Give me your bag and the keys so I can wait you with Nidalee (the name of the car)." She said and give her the brown bag of groceries with the keys I'm holding while she exchange to hand out my wallet to buy flowers, grinning like devil looking at me.

"What?" I ask her.

"Nothing, Lover boy." She said to me trying to hide her smile.

I just ignored her and cross the two roads via pedestrian line while I hear the laugh from Cha far away.

I get to the flower shop – a small shop beside the road that your eyes will attract by the beautiful and colorful flowers displayed outside of the shop.

I open the glass door of the shop.

"Hello! Welcome to the Blossom farms' Flower Shop!" He greeted me with a smile

"Hi!" I saw the multitude of different flowers inside of the shop, there are so many to pick from. As I look around overwhelmed to what to pick, something catches my eye. I see it hanging at the wall at the front me, A Dark red flower that smells like chocolate with a yellow color at the middle of it – I ask the Man watching me roam at the shop.

"Kuya, what is this flower?" I said to the tall man standing wearing a green apron with the mix of brown and white uniform of some sort representing he is working from the shop

"It's called Chocolate Cosmos; they are a variety of flower that smells like chocolate. It came from US and we tried several times to grow here and this is the first batch of successful maturity, it's easy to grow here but it's hard because of the high maintenance needed for the flower to bloom more." He said with enthusiasm

"I'd like to buy a bouquet of this." I said to him

"Okay then, please talk to the lady at the counter while I fix the bouquet for you."

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

I go to the Lady in her yellow blossom dress that matches to her tan skin; she has no makeup when I see her face and her black shining hair is evident to her look.

" That will be 1,150 pesos sir." She said and I pay it—getting the cash out of the wallet and getting the change of 50 pesos.

The Man gives me the bouquet of the Chocolate Cosmos wrapped it in a pink bouquet wrapper.

"Thank you for buying in our shop, please come again." The Tall Bulky white man said to me.

"Welcome, I might come back here sometime." I bid goodbye and wave at the both of them.

I see the flowers I am holding, Maribelle will love this even though she didn't like flowers like her mother but she will love the uniqueness to it.

I see Charice waving at me; she's not waiting at the car but waiting me at the other side of the 2 roads in between me so I wave back.

And then she shouts. "KUYA JJ!!"

I got confused by how she shouts because she is like paranoia in her face but I look at my left side, A red sports car ramming at me directly despite I'm outside of the road beside on the display of flowers then my body crashes at my body knock me and my head banged at the glass door leaving a big crack on it. Then I lean on the door with my blood on my head

It is so fast that the last thing I see before my eyes close is the bouquet that I want to give to Maribelle.

I blacked out, don't know if I'm going to die or not.
