Bai Haoyuan's gaze turned sharp as he looked at An Xiran, filled with anger.
"Are you deaf?" An Xiran raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
A play on words.
"Hahaha..."
Little K and the others burst into laughter.
Bai Haoyuan's face turned grim, feeling embarrassed to be publicly mocked. Without thinking, he got hot-headed, disregarded the rules of the competition, and was about to swing his fist towards An Xiran.
Given that esports players are mostly teenagers and young adults in their twenties, minor conflicts can easily escalate into physical altercations.
In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the competition, all forms of physical conflict were strictly prohibited during matches. Violators could face serious penalties, including suspension.
While An Xiran and Bai Haoyuan had been fierce rivals for years, they had never come to blows during a match despite their verbal sparring.
