Chapter 78: When You Queue for Casuals and End Up in the World Finals
Micah had been focusing on his new role during the early game, not really paying attention to other players, neither on his team nor the opponent’s team.
Until the moment he saw the two enemies’ IDs, DiabolicDestroyer and PoisonIvy, in the chat group, realising they were from SilverBlade Legion, he hadn’t cared about who else was in the match. He hadn’t even glanced at the scoreboard or stat screen. But now? Panic filled his mind.
Before the match began, they had vetoed turning on voice chats, as they were literally side by side, with no need to listen to others talking nonstop. After that experience with Cora’s friends, Micah was not in the mood to listen to some random girls squawking in his ears because of Darcy. He had barely glanced at the All and Team chat tabs in passing.
Micah exhaled sharply. Maybe if he had checked in the pre-game lobby, or chatted with the players before loading in, he could have gotten more info and figured out if any big names were in the queue. Now it felt like they had walked into a lion’s den blindfolded.
He and Darcy were like two shut-ins in the game world. They didn’t know who was who, even if they had seen the famous usernames!
Were the others also from some Esports teams?
If so, it would be in their favour. Darcy’s skill would not be too eye-catching.
Micah scanned their own team’s lineup:
SyberSlay: Jungler
BloodbathPunk: Top Laner
CrashOverRide: Tank support
