[Esports] Pheromones say we're a match made in heaven.

"To our viewers both live and in the chat, there are only two matches left in the Survivor Global Finals. Currently, Hawk is ranked third, AR from the United States is second, and Bison from Brazil is first."

"Today, Wonder and Hawk, who are fierce rivals in China, seem to have had no friction. It appears that the two teams parted ways peacefully in the finals."

The second half of the game kicked off amidst enthusiastic commentary.

In the fourth round, Hawk regrouped and, following Qin Yi's command, launched a decisive attack, eliminating two members of the Korean team who had jumped nearby in the early stages. The remaining two Korean players managed to escape by maneuvering their vehicles in an S-shape.

Chen Yangyang was somewhat surprised, staring at the screen: "Why does Qin Yi seem to be in such good form this game? I bet the opponents haven't even seen him before they're already down. They have good resources this game, I feel like their ranking can rise another tier."

Qi Song remained calm: "Don't get too excited yet, the circle luck isn't great this round."

The safe zone happened to appear above AR's head.

The live stream chat was filled with insults and curses.

[Are the survivors trying to make AR a legend and defend its title?]

[The team that buys the circle is awesome!]

[This is rigged. Hawk's circle luck was terrible in every game of the finals. It feels like he was set up.]

Chi Feifan turned off the bullet comments, annoyed by their comments.

Even though he doesn't play games, he knew they were saying Hawk had bad luck this time.

AR, having secured advantageous terrain, perfectly wiped out a full squad, quickly overtaking Bison and widening the gap with Hawk to nearly twenty points. They then secured two more consecutive circles, giving AR a truly exhilarating experience.

In contrast, Hawk struggled all the way to the fourth lap.

Yu Xingchen: "There's someone on the captain's left!"

Hawk and his two teammates are driving into the circle in one car, and not far away there is another full squad that is also going to attack from this direction.

Qin Yi activated his scope and started firing at the moving vehicle opposite him. He lost half his health, but the other person was instantly shot down.

"Park the car next to that rock up ahead." Qin Yi had a map in his mind, which marked the approximate locations of all the teams in each match.

Yu Xingchen positioned the car and the rock at a V-angle, which effectively blocked the view from the other side.

In an instant, the field was filled with gunfire, and the gun lines from both sides could be clearly seen.

Narrator: "Hawk has the edge in marksmanship, but—!"

The commentator's tone suddenly rose, and my heart leaped into my throat: "AR's come out to break up the fight! Looks like he's trying to pin Hawk down here!"

Yu Xingchen and Wang Kang both fell one after another, and now there are only four teams left on the field, and the circle has shrunk a lot.

Qin Yi finished off the person on the other side, and his microphone flashed: "I'm almost out of bullets, but I still have two grenades."

Shen Shu used smoke to disrupt AR vision: "I'm out of grenades. The game was too difficult before, so I used them all. My medical supplies and bullets are still okay."

Qin Yi: "There are lone wolves on both sides looking for opportunities to ambush. AR's current positioning is very concentrated. Do you trust me?"

Shen Shu, who was hiding behind cover trying to administer medicine, was taken aback and gave a blank "hmm".

A few seconds later, the commentator almost jumped up: "Rest suddenly rushed out of the smoke! What kind of move was that?"

Shen Shu feinted left and right, holding a shotgun in his hand, looking like he was ready for a face-to-face fight to the death.

AR naturally didn't give them that chance. Everyone was well-equipped by now, and Shen Shu almost got taken down before he could even fire a shot. He only lasted three seconds before turning into a green box.

Three seconds is enough.

Shen Shu gripped the mouse tightly, his eyes fixed on the screen.

In a corner of the stadium where no one was paying attention, the sound of a grenade being pulled rang out.

Just as the commentator was wondering why Shen Shu walked up to AR's face, a loud bang rang out, and the commentator couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up on the spot: "Holy crap, what is that! A four-way explosion!"

A huge announcement floated across the public chat screen—

"Hawk Eliminates AR"

Inside the stadium, the stands erupted in cheers.

"Live's angle calculation for this grenade was perfect. And just at that moment, all of AR's players were standing very close together. The grenade rolled on the ground and landed right in the middle of the four of them!"

Because of this grenade, the entire AR team was wiped out, and they didn't even get a top-three ranking in this game.

The commentator's voice was a little hoarse, and he was even a little moved to tears.

This is not only because such a situation is rare in professional matches, requiring perfect timing, location, and teamwork, but also because the leaderboard will be rewritten again after this game.

"Live's thunderous roar shatters AR's championship dream!"

Shen Shu was drenched in sweat in the San Francisco weather, which was only a few degrees Celsius. His breathing was trembling, and he was extremely grateful that he had been tamed to unconditionally obey his captain's orders.

He had just given all his remaining bullets to Qin Yi, then grabbed his gun and rushed out to scout AR's location. If he hadn't trusted Qin Yi to do that, he couldn't have imagined any other way to avoid being wiped out in that desperate situation.

Aside from AR, the remaining players on the field are mostly lone wolves.

After a fierce gunfight, Qin Yi was left with only a sliver of blood on his body, and the words "Survivor" popped up on the screen.

Hawk jumped to second place on the leaderboard.

In the final match, Yu Xingchen, Wang Kang, and Shen Shuquan were all fired up. Although Hawk failed to get first place in the game, he still gained ranking points and a lot of kill points.

The moment I took off my headphones, the big screen in the venue flashed.

1. Hawk:582

2. Bison: 576

3.AR:572

Wang Kang was so excited that he almost tripped over his own chair. He came over and punched Yu Xingchen's shoulder hard. Shen Shu hadn't even reacted when the other two grabbed him and hugged him.

Backstage, Chen Yangyang grabbed Qi Song by the neck and shook him, shouting into Qi Song's ear as if afraid Qi Song wouldn't go deaf: "First place! Holy crap, we're actually first place! We won the championship!"

After the match, Qin Yi was pulled away for a post-match interview before he even had a sip of water.

Several cameras were pointed directly at his face.

The host smiled and asked, "Many viewers, including those watching the live stream, initially thought your goal was simply to secure a top-three finish. However, you displayed astonishing resilience in the face of the unfavorable odds in the second half. Everyone is curious about what you did during the halftime break and how you managed to maintain such a good mindset."

Qin Yi took the microphone: "I didn't do anything special. Hawk gives his all in every game, but if I had to say what's different between the second half and the first half, it's that my desire to win the championship is stronger."

The host, ever quick to respond, asked, "Why?"

Chen Yangyang was deeply moved and clutched the cross and prayer beads in her hands tightly: "Could it be that he saw all my silent efforts backstage?"

Qin Yi smiled and looked at the camera: "Good luck in the competition."

The host didn't understand at first.

Qin Yi: "Because of that sentence, I want to bring the championship back even more. Although the top three all receive prize money, in esports, there is only first place, no second. Hawk can die standing, but he will never kneel down and live a cowardly life."

*

Almost at the same moment Hawk secured the victory, a deafening cheer erupted throughout the entire Hawk base.

The entire data analysis team, coaching team, and even the kids on the second team were all screaming with joy, practically at the point of reverting to their primal instincts.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Awesome!"

"Who says Hawk is no good? Come on, let's see what the forum trolls have to say now!"

"This is considered going downhill? Then what about the other teams? They haven't even made it up the hill yet!"

Chi Feifan went to the bathroom to wash his face. His heart rate was very high and his pheromones were not very stable. He was not much better off than the group of people outside.

After calming down, Chi Feifan sat back down in his chair, crossed one leg, and listened to the post-match interview. He stared at the barrage of comments saying "Good luck in the match" for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

The domestic live stream alone attracted millions of viewers, not to mention that this world-class competition was also being broadcast live in many other countries.

Although Qin Yi didn't say it explicitly, many fans had said the same thing before the match, but it was like a code that only the two of them could understand.

Chi Feifan raised his hand to touch his ear and then his neck. Looking at the barrage of comments that had turned golden to match the occasion, his tense lips inexplicably curled upwards.
