Chapter 335: A Case of Lovesickness
Zeng Rui turned back to his computer and browsed through the Winter Collegiate Cup subpage on the China Esports Association’s website. He stopped on the list of qualified teams and said, “See how there’s 34 teams here? And then, when I scroll down a bit further, you see what it says here?”
Lin Feng leaned in and read the words out loud, “Wildcard teams.”
“Exactly,” Zeng Rui replied. He turned back to the others and continued, “The China Esports Association kept two wildcards for the teams with the most impressive performances that didn’t manage to qualify for the main tournament. And after Zhejiang University's series against us, they were technically knocked out while also basically being sure of getting one of the two wildcard tickets.”
“So it’s like a second life!” Lin Feng exclaimed. He clenched his fist and pumped it up into the air. He said, “Maybe we’ll get to play against Shi Hang again! That’d be awesome!”
An Xin pushed Lin Feng aside and looked at the list open on the webpage. She said, “Looks like the other wildcard was given to Beijing International Studies University. Didn’t they get knocked out by Team Beijing?”
“They did,” Zeng Rui confirmed.
Lin Feng grinned and said, “The high school teams are too good! The China Esports Association needs wildcards to get their uni teams to move on!”
Tang Bingyao nodded and added, “Mhm! We’re good!”
