Chapter 173: Playoff draw
---<VICTORY>---
BOOM!
The stadium in London erupted.
Phoenix Rising fans across the stadium exploded, roaring at the top of their lungs as they celebrated their team’s victory.
Coming to their city rival’s home stadium, Phoenix Rising fans came with outmost confidence in their ability to win. More of their attention was focused on Scarlet Rose’s result, but looking down on Cyber Squad almost bit them in the end.
Cyber Squad played its best game of the season, stunning the reigning champions. They almost secured the greatest upset of the season, and yet, Gabriel’s disciplined and drilled team ended up edging them.
[Cyber Squad: 2 points]
[Phoenix Rising: 8 points]
It was a massive difference in points but even as their city rivals taunted and celebrated in their home stadium, the Cyber Squad didn’t feel ashamed.
Rather, they felt proud.
For the first time all season, they felt proud in defeat. This was because they noticed something in this defeat; they noticed fire, they noticed determination, and the willingness to go the extra mile in their players.
