Chapter 707: Finals (1)

In the following few matches of the round-robin, [Domination]’s performances was rather ordinary.

Their amazing performance on the first day completely disappeared.

It was as though their playstyle was like flowers of the night-blooming cactus. Short-lived and momentary.

This made the netizens doubtful about their abilities.

People began to speculate that the tactics of [Domination] had been studied by their opponents. As a result, they were unable to repeat the same tactics anymore.

However, even though the team’s performance was rather ordinary, out of the eleven matches that they played, they only lost two games.

They won a few of their games by an incredibly small margin. Those games appeared tough for the members of [Domination.]

In the end, they took second place in the overall rankings. They were one point behind the first-place team [MLG.]

The round-robin tournament lasted for ten days.

In the end, [Domination] and [MLG] earned a spot in the finals. [MLG] was the foreign team that won the tournament last year.

Before the finals, everyone on the Internet was making their bets.

The Internet guessed that [Domination] had a 20% chance of winning the final. As a result, for every dollar bet on [Domination], if they were to win, the person would receive five dollars back. On the other hand, if a person were to bet on [MLG] and they were to win, they would only receive one dollar and twenty cents back.

It was obvious that the audience was more optimistic about [MLG.]

Although many domestic viewers hoped that [Domination] would win, the reality had been placed in front of them.

In the round-robin matches, [Domination]’s performance wasn’t incredible.

On the other hand, [MLG]’s performance was unstoppable.

When [Domination] faced [MLG] in the round-robin tournament, they ended up losing quite badly. There was quite a large difference between the points that the teams scored.

In addition, there was another reason for the difference in betting rates. Most people still remembered what happened three years ago during the finals.

The finals were held inside the largest stadium of Country Y. The entire stadium was packed.

The stadium was filled with Zerg Invasion players. A large number of them were holding [MLG] support signs.

After all, this stadium in Country Y was [MLG]’s home stadium.

There were only a few domestic fans that came to Country Y to support [Domination.]

Most of their fans could only cheer for them on the Internet.

All major domestic streaming platforms broadcasted the finals of the Zerg Invasion tournament.

The game had not yet officially started. However, many of the casters and commentators were excitedly explaining the rules of the tournament and the game.

They also expressed that they wanted to see [Domination[ win.

“Dear viewers, it has been four years! This is the fourth year of the game Zerg Invasion! However, our domestic teams have not once won the finals! [Domination] gave us the best results three years ago! Back then, they ended up ranking second!”

“Let’s look forward to this match! Let’s hope that [Domination] can bring honor and glory back to our country! If [Domination] wins the finals today, it will be a historic moment for our domestic players!”

The voice of the caster was high-spirited and excited.

Even though the caster was incredibly excited, it was obvious that the netizen’s confidence in [Domination] was seriously lacking.

[Honestly, I’m happy with this already.]

[Good luck! Please try your best. Even if you lose, you will at least be ranked second.]

[There’s no second place in e-sports.]

[Ahhh, I still hope that they can win the finals!]

[I would donate five kilograms of fat on my body if [Domination] wins the finals today!]

After all, everyone only remembered who ranked first, and not who ranked second.

In e-sports, the winners were the kings.
