Chapter 36: International Competition
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The round for the top 10 began.
The surrounding audience fell silent to witness the round.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the broadcast screen.
This time, Edward was facing the team from Saint University.
After seeing their opponent, the team from Saint University didn’t feel any fear but was rather excited.
To be able to fight against three gods was a glorious thing.
Even if they lost, it was enough for them to brag about.
“Brothers, bring out all of our strength. Even if we lose, we have to lose spectacularly.”
Wells said to his four teammates.
“Good!”
The four teammates seemed to have been injected with stimulants. They were all very excited.

But very quickly, their hearts turned cold.
The difference in strength was too great.
In less than an hour, the three rounds ended.
It was as if the tactics of Edward’s battle team could not be used up. They had actually used a new type of tactic.
After the end of the match yesterday, many teams had gone back to study the tactics used by Edward’s battle team.
They had also studied the battle plan.
Naturally, Wells’ battle team had also studied it.
But now, they had changed their tactics. Wells and the others could only helplessly return to their seats.
They had no chance to compete in the following matches.
Before long, the remaining matches were over.
The top 10 teams appeared.
This time, only three out of the initial seven teams from Kasage University were left.
A few dark horses appeared in the competition.
These people were originally unknown.
But now, they had been remembered by tens of thousands of people.
Perhaps someone knew their game name, but they were appearing in front of everyone for the first time.

After resting for an hour, Kasage University performed a show.
The goal was to relieve everyone’s pressure.
Even if they were just playing games, they would feel tired after such an intense competition.
At this moment, Lex had already appeared in the esports arena.
However, no one recognized him.
He was about the same age as a student.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, he did not stand out at all.
Although he appeared on camera a few times, not many people could remember him.
An hour quickly passed.
The final match began.
Ten teams entered the field.
Coincidentally, Edward’s team met another team from Kasage University.
Immediately afterwards, a battle ensued.
Kasage University’s team was all trained by Edward and the others. The result was obvious.
In the end, this team had no choice but to end the match.
Against their own captain, they could only do their best.
Kasage University’s internal battle made the other teams very happy.
They finally didn’t have to face such a terrifying opponent.
This way, their chances of advancing would be greater.
In the end, the match ended with the cheers of the audience.
The top five teams appeared.
These five teams were all very strong, and their coordination was very tacit.
With this kind of tacit understanding, it was impossible to achieve it without a long period of practice.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the top five teams have been selected. Next, the top eight teams will be selected based on the battle points.”
At this moment, the battle points rankings appeared on the screen.
300 teams could see their own points on the screen.
The first team to be eliminated would definitely have the lowest points.
It could guarantee absolute fairness.
The first team to be ranked was Edward’s.
This was universally acknowledged by everyone.
The rest of the rankings were also very fair.
However, there was one thing that made the audience very curious. Why did they choose the top eight in this way?
Moreover, wasn’t there still a final match?
Everyone was waiting for Kasage University’s explanation.
“Hello, everyone. I am the principal of Kasage University, Lex.”
“I know that everyone must have some questions as to why they were in such a hurry to choose the top eight teams.”
“Now, let’s give everyone an explanation.”
“Because I want to select these eight teams and let them participate in international competitions.”
“And the registration for international competitions will end in an hour.”
Lex finally told everyone everything.
Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said.
They did not expect such a thing to happen.
International competition of esports?
The audience in the entire venue began to discuss.
They had just heard the word “esports” not long ago, and now they were going to participate in international competitions?
A group of university students could really participate in an international competition?
Everyone’s heart was boiling.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the tens of thousands of spectators, Lex was not the least bit surprised.
He had been looking forward to this matter for a long time.
If domestic e-sports wanted to rise, they had to make some achievements.
The fastest way was to participate in a competition.
There was no such competition in the country, so he could only look at the international competition.
This interschool e-sports competition was like a tryouts competition.
To select the best players from the national high schools to participate in international competitions.
As long as they could get excellent results in the competitions, it would certainly change many people’s views on e-sports.
And today was the last day of the registration for the international e-sports competition.
This was the reason why Lex was so anxious.
If he missed today, the rise of e-sports would be delayed for another half a year.
He did not want to wait so long.
The teams that were promoted to the top eight were all stunned.
Lex’s words were still echoing in their minds.
E-sports was going to the world?
They were participating in an international competition?
For a moment, their hearts could not calm down.
This news came too suddenly.
