Chapter 66: Eating the big points!

~7 min read 1,340 words

In just over ten minutes, the VG members finished their dinner beautifully while watching the Tyloo match.

"Burp~" AumaN rubbed his stomach and sighed: "I'm stuffed."

"The canteen food is getting better and better, and the auntie is serving generous portions. Jiao Yang, do you have any idea why?"

AumaN asked casually, making Jiao Yang restless. He could still recall the auntie's concerned gaze when she served the food.

"Watch the match, watch the match."

An exceptionally standard change of subject.

"Nothing left to watch, I'm already full."

Tyloo's subsequent performance was truly too painful to watch, so much so that AumaN was forced to add a few more bowls of rice to enjoy the visual feast.

Ever since the timeout after saving their guns, Tyloo hadn't scored a single point, losing to MVP with a score of 11:16.

Finally, the chat was already floating with comments like "Go eat the big points!" and "Genghis Khan match."

Indeed, only Xccurate was carrying, and the other four becoming invisible at the end was truly too outrageous.

However, in the eyes of the VG members, it probably wasn't match-fixing; they were just genuinely bad.

Now, loyal Tyloo fans had already started calculating the theoretical qualification possibilities in the tournament comment section—

【As of the end of this match, the rankings are as follows:

VG 2-0, net +27

MVP 1-1, net +9

Tyloo 1-1, net -8

5Power 0-2, net -28

As long as 5Power beats MVP and Tyloo beats VG, Tyloo can advance!】

But there were also comments that couldn't stand Tyloo:

【If 5Power directly crushes MVP with two major points, and Tyloo loses to VG, wouldn't they advance anyway?】

Indeed, 5Power was "only" 37 net round wins away from MVP at this time.

5Power only needed to establish a 19 net round win advantage when playing MVP to overtake them.

【It's so blue~ Why doesn't VG just throw the match to Tyloo and give them a few more net round wins? As long as 5Power doesn't lose by too much, it'll be fine.】

【Wouldn't that be match-fixing?】

【It's not like we haven't eaten it before. What's wrong with arranging the Koreans? How many times have we been disgusted in the past? What's the problem with giving a few points as a favor?】

【If they really use the same dirty tricks as the Koreans, I won't watch. I just want to see both sides play properly.】

【Don't watch then, are you the only one missing?】

Just like that, the comment section launched a crazy discussion on the loopholes in the group round-robin, the spirit of the game, fair competition, and other topics, full of gunpowder.

……

April 21st, the last day of the EPL East Asia division. This day would determine the two spots advancing to the Asian qualifiers.

First match, VG vs. Tyloo.

In the VG match room, four people surrounded AumaN.

At this moment, AumaN was holding his stomach with a painful expression, wailing: "My stomach! I'm dying..."

"Told you not to eat so much yesterday? Now look, you exploded before the match." Advent really wanted to hit AumaN on the head with a club, but considering he was already in enough pain, he pulled his hand back.

"It's definitely Tyloo's conspiracy, deliberately making the auntie cook the food well, and then using the match to make us eat so much we can't play, directly attacking our stomachs."

AumaN, in extreme pain, still didn't forget to shift the blame.

"What to do? Forfeit?" ZhokiNg was already prepared to call an ambulance.

"No! Must play!" AumaN had already used self-deception to shift the pain onto Tyloo, saying fiercely: "Can't let Tyloo benefit for nothing."

"Can you even play like this?" Jiao Yang felt the match wasn't as important as a teammate's health.

"You guys drag it out, I'll take a breather."

AumaN didn't have the feeling of wanting to bloom yet, just pain, but he had a premonition that the moment of life blooming was not far away.

Seeing that this guy didn't look like he was really going to die, and since the other four hadn't eaten anything bad, Advent felt it wasn't a big deal, so he listened to AumaN and started the match.

"Tell us if you can't hold on anymore."

……

The match started just like that.

Map 1, Dust II. Not long after, Tyloo discovered that VG's AumaN was playing like a pile of crap and seized the opportunity to score points continuously.

Immediately after, the commentators and the chat outside the game also realized the problem—

【This AumaN didn't hold the angle again. Is this Banana Path that hard to hold? I'm asking.】

【What's going on? Standing still halfway through the retake? Is there something wrong with the machine?】

【That's not right, if it were a machine failure, they should have called a timeout long ago.】

【Damn, they've already developed the i9.】

【VG really isn't scoring a single point? This acting is a bit fake.】

【Does that mean they're throwing the match openly? The favors are maxed out!】

【Feels like AumaN ate something secretly by himself.】

【Trash match, I'm not watching.】

First half, 2:13.

Second half, switching to T-side, VG's pressure was greatly reduced because having one less player on the Terrorist side didn't have as much impact, especially since the one missing was a "Laoliu" (lurker).

However, even if the teammates used all their strength, the score could only reach 5:14. If they lost one more round, VG would face 10 match points.

Just then, VG called a timeout.

For the audience, this timeout lasted 30 seconds, but for someone on the ceramic throne, it was a century.

All pain and sorrow were vented crazily, performing a movement of life.

Is this sound too loud? The four VG members heard the roaring coming from the bathroom far away, and the same thought popped into their minds.

The time from AumaN's death to the end of the timeout wasn't long.

Advent was just about to call a technical timeout when he saw AumaN had already returned to his seat.

"So fast? You didn't wipe, did you?"

Advent was sitting right next to AumaN, and he came into contact with more of the poop molecules floating in the air, so his reaction was naturally more intense.

"Wiped, didn't wash my hands."

Saying that, AumaN leaned his hand toward Advent's face.

Advent directly backhanded him with a club.

……

The timeout ended, and the match continued.

Stream commentator:

"Alright, VG's timeout has ended. I wonder what kind of tactics they will use to turn the tide."

"Isn't this the same as the last round?"

"Jiao Yang killed one, Xccurate immediately adjusted his angle and successfully held it."

"The situation is very bad for VG!"

"What? Why is there another Terrorist here?"

"Is it AumaN?! He has already lurked through the middle to cut off the CT retake!"

"Like a ghost, he silently ended his opponent!"

Tyloo quickly discovered the situation had changed; there was inexplicably one more person on the other side.

What? So it had been 5 vs 4 all along?

Jiao Yang was too strong, one person could handle entry and trade-killing, and the Tyloo members really hadn't noticed that AumaN had never killed anyone while lurking.

【What's going on? Why did AumaN wake up?】

【Holy crap, this catch-up is a bit terrifying.】

【Eating the big points! I get it! AumaN went to eat the big points after the timeout!】

【Damn it, what happened to the match-fixing? The water temperature is a bit high!】

【If they keep doing this, Tyloo is going to G. What does this mean? Win one round first, then throw two big ones later?】

【AumaN has already turned his stats positive. Is this an awakening?】

【Damn, it's really 16:14! Tyloo hasn't scored a point since the timeout. I don't believe there's no inside story.】

After the match, AumaN pointed to his 22-7 stats in the second half and chuckled:

"This is the strength of me unloading the burden." ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
