Ch94 - The End of the Finals

Edited by kat

In the third match, the map was Miramar, and the flight route was going from the Trailer Park to Puerto Paraiso.

“This should be another ordinary beginning. Everyone is calmly searching for supplies, but…”

The camera cut to QAQ.

Half suddenly started talking quicker, “Angry’s speed in searching for things is like an emotionless robot? Why doesn’t he stop at all, he’s in such a hurry, what is he planning on doing?”

Chunxi said, “Maybe he’s getting ready to fight. Cold has already taken a M4 and is headed for San Martin. We see a lot of grenades on Cold, is he going to do his old routine? Hahaha.”

Xu Leng hadn’t yet reached San Martin when the gunshots first sounded inside San Martin. He judged that there were two teams, and Xu Leng lingered outside.

The safety zone shrinked, and San Martin remained within the safety zone.

Although the gunshots lasted for a long time, no one fell to the ground.

Two minutes later, QAQ’s remaining three people also came out of the area near Hacienda del Patron, and their destination was San Martin.

Shen Qi’s goal was very clear. They had to steal or collect kills, earning the kill points to take control and suppress everyone.

PUBG depended a lot on luck. Whether they could successfully eat chicken was partially due to skill. If your kills were very good, you could kill all your enemies before the final circle, but this was very hard to do in the finals of a formal competition.

The other part was luck. At present, having good luck was almost impossible for QAQ.

At present, there were two teams in San Martin, EVE and HUOJ, two teams with similar strength. It hadn’t been long since the game began, and both sides were testing each other.

If they wanted to keep their ranking, they couldn’t face-off with a team of similar strength at the beginning.

The main camera switched to HUOJ.

This match, HUOJ had more screen time than QAQ, probably because they were a popular contender for champion.

Bo Li hid behind a window and stuck to the wall. After the shots at the beginning of the match, he kept shrinking back, waiting for the opposite party to show themselves.

“HUOJ’s people can all hold themselves back very well, and EVE is the same ah. They just fired two shots to scare the opposite side. If it weren’t for QAQ’s people moving, I would think this was a still picture, and even want to sing a song of ‘boy over there, look over here.’”

“But! QAQ has rushed over! I can probably understand QAQ’s next strategy! Their ranking points are likely to be lower than HUOJ, so they will compete with kill points! But if they face off against two strong teams at the start of the match, it will be really difficult, it’s four vs. eight!”

Chunxi spoke halfway, then suddenly froze. “Oh, no, QAQ isn’t moving anymore. They’ve hidden, here they go again, being devious. This is the strategy to live longer than anyone else.”

[Laughing to death]

[Hahahaha, are the three teams there for a tea party?]

[If it weren’t for his team moving, I would think the picture was still]

[I can be so happy while watching the finals…]

[My mom walked behind me and asked me if my cellphone was frozen]

[……]

Shen Qi was waiting for an opportunity.

The safety zone shrank.

San Martin was now out of the safety zone.

Shen Qi breathed out a sigh of relief.

Lu Tun looked at him and couldn’t help sighing. “Idol is too devious. Sure enough, the place where Idol is becomes the poison circle.”

Shen Qi snorted. “You’re quite right. Grass doesn’t grow where I am.”

After he finished speaking, EVE and HUOJ couldn’t hold back anymore.

Perhaps the lucky kings of the two teams never thought that they would be forced to start the poison running game in the third circle.

“Have EVE and HUOJ discovered QAQ? They must have discovered them, but they don’t know that they came just to bring them into the poison circle. HUOJ took the lead in making a move! I saw it! Circle has taken a shot, but it’s okay! This is an all-out gun battle ah! It’s too exciting coming straight out of the building to get in a gun fight! EEEEEE! But QAQ is coming in again, they’re too devious ba.”

Half couldn’t help complaining, “They tried this in the competition before, and now here they come again. Their goal is to take out people with low health, and we know that Angry’s sniping is basically one shot one kill. When EVE and HUOJ are left with their last dregs of health, that will be Angry’s stage then.”

“EVE and HUOJ can only take care of themselves and choose to retreat, but their current state is poor. QAQ’s TUN was sniped by a far-away silenced 98K. It’s not a big problem. As soon as he fell down, there was cover to drag him behind.”

“It’s a great pity that EVE’s Circle and HUOJ’s ZZfen were eliminated. QAQ and EVE earned one point respectively, and HUOJ lost a lot in this attack.”

“I found a problem ah, Senior Half: Cold didn’t bring much backup ammunition in this match. He’s only holding medicine and grenades. It can’t be that he’s acting as a mobile blood bank again? Then like this, QAQ has actually lost one of its main forces. They’re about to be forced to race the poison circle, this poison hurts a lot!”

“If they don’t run, they’ll easily be caught by the team in the circle. QAQ over there is really fierce. In the finals during these past few days, QAQ performance on the first day was actually not particularly good, maybe because they hadn’t quite adjusted yet. However, from the second round to now, their performance has always been commendable. Today, they’re starting to fiercely go after kill points! HUOJ is the first to leave the city. EVE, probably to avoid HUOJ, changed their route, but QAQ caught up! ”

“I’m so excited! Angry sniped a moving target! 100 shots and 100 hits! EVE’s Buxiu fell to the ground! EVE has no way to pull him up! QAQ won another point!”

“EVE has entered the circle to fight back! Cold currently is at low health and has prepared insufficient ammunition! But they have very advantageous terrain and cover! However, they are likely to be blocked at the edge of the circle when they try to enter. We can see that BIG is already getting ready to block people at the edge of the circle. And based on QAQ’s bad luck, en, the next circle will be even further ah?”

[Are the casters cursing QAQ out?]

[Stop blindly guessing, okay, they were just kidding]

[Bullshit they’re just kidding, just blindly stirring shit up in the last few matches]

“Chunxi, we can’t stir things up. Your poisonous milk may be able to put QAQ in the center of the safety zone. And during this fight, EVE and QAQ have exchanged three people for two ah! EVE has currently been entirely eliminated, while in QAQ, Angry and LAND are left. TUN has fallen down again, and will be very difficult to save.”

“It’s the cooperation of shifu and apprentice again. Okay, they choose to go around to enter the circle. BIG is waiting, and BIG must be guarding against them. At present, QAQ’s kill score is already at four points, and I feel like hiding now to rank would be safer.”

However, QAQ was currently gambling on their kill score. Although there were only two people left, they were still lethal. Although BIG was at the edge of the circle, other teams still entered the circle. The next circle, they mainly focused on fighting.

“QAQ has gone to bring on the fight! At present, there are seven teams left on the field, and only BIG has a full team. LAND has gone into hiding, probably to preserve their ranking. Only Angry has gone out by himself, and has started stealing kills again!”

The competitors’ seats.

Lu Tun helped Shen Qi set off a smoke bomb.

It covered his retreat, and then he continued to find cover.

Shen Qi looked at BIG’s current state and thought for a while. “I’ll gamble again.”

Gamble on what?

He’d gamble on his shooting skills and luck.

The team of the person shooting at BIG was wiped out and Shen Qi stole two kills, one of them being BIG’s. QAQ’s current kill score was seven points.

BIG had two people left, as did HUOJ.

There were five teams left on the field.

In the late stage of the game, the in-game time passed quickly.

The safety zone was shrinking faster and faster.

The circle shrank.

QAQ and BIG were still in the circle, but HUOJ had to race the poison again after leaving the safety zone.

They lost their advantage in this way.

That was what Shen Qi had gambled on.

He sneered.

Finally, someone had looked favorably on him.

He directly switched to a sniper rifle and killed HUOJ’s two people.

Ye Lai observed which way BIG was moving.

As long as HUOJ revealed themselves, Shen Qi could guarantee that he would take their kill points.

He won his gamble.

QAQ had nine kill points.

BIG and two other teams were left.

They prioritized taking out BIG.

The other two teams were lone wolves.

Shen Qi lay down directly.

At present, he could only determine the position of the lone wolves, not the position of the other team.

At the same time, BIG was also targeting them.

“He Bin, this guy, is suddenly not acting sneaky, I’m a bit unused to it.” Shen Qi raised his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth carried a smile. “En, I just like head-on fights.”

After he said that, he exposed his body directly.

This was undoubtedly acting as a live target in the finals.

He was providing opportunities for Ye Lai, and he was also testing Ye Lai.

“Angry chose to get into a head-on gun battle with BIG! This shot is too accurate! There’s no deviation!”

Shen Qi’s shooting skills, even after a whole year away, were still amazing.

QAQ took two kills from BIG, and another team was poisoned outside in the poison circle.

There were only two teams left. Shen Qi was at low health now, but he knew the position of the lone wolf.

“This match, let’s congratulate QAQ on eating chicken successfully! God A’s last grenade was too quintessential! It may have frightened the lone wolf kid opposite him! I’m too excited, I’m already this old, and I have to undergo this kind of excitement. The third match is over, and QAQ’s total points have successfully surpassed HUOJ’s to become first place!”

[AHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM!]

[Turned the tables in one round, AWESOME AHHHHHHH QAQ IS AWESOME AH SHIT!]

[I cried. I waited for God A to return for a year, I thought he wouldn’t come back!]

[Me too. I remember that day when God A private messaged me and I saw his notice on Weibo that he was coming back, I really burst into tears]

[Fans, enough, the competition isn’t over yet. Celebrating the championship in advance? Wouldn’t it be really really shameful to not get the championship in a bit?]

[Flamers have come again, you just can’t stand to watch others be well?]

[……]

There was also a burst of cheers below the stage.

Shen Qi took off his headphones.

Xu Leng had already hugged and become one mass with Lu Tun.

They really had surpassed them with one match!

Each match before, they could only narrow the gap by a tiny two points, and they really couldn’t see any hope.

Although their goal was not just to win the championship, winning the championship was still the dream of every e-sports player.

Shen Qi patted Ye Lai on the back of his head and snorted. “There are two more rounds, so don’t celebrate too early. The championship is still far away.”

After listening to his words, Xu Leng and Lu Tun calmed down.

“Just play normally, you guys are already great,” Lu Ziye said aloud.

Shen Qi raised his eyes. “Of course, it’s not impossible to celebrate in advance now.”

Lu Ziye: ???

The other three looked at each other and began to share their acceptance speeches for awhile.

Fortunately, Ye Lai had some experience with that and gave them advice.

In the fourth match, QAQ played normally, and their total score was still in first place, widening the gap between them and second place.

The fifth match, later on.

Cold was the only one left from QAQ, but they had already taken eight kill points.

At present, their total score was still in first place.

The game wasn’t over yet, but the result had already been set.

“Right now, there are four teams left on the field. We can see that Cold is making a great effort to create an artificial bombing area, which has greatly pressured other teams. Although he can’t kill them, forcing them out is still a great strategy.”

Two minutes later, Cold was eliminated.

There were three teams left on the field.

QAQ’s total points ranked first.

Before the game was officially over, the audience started cheering.

[AHHHHHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS TO QAQ FOR WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP AHHHHH]

[Sisters, it’s totally unnecessary, but I’m going to go run a few laps outside my building now]

[God A is really still in excellent condition wuwuwu, I’m too excited!]

[I smashed my cellphone and switched to my computer!]

[Congratulations QAQ! QAQ is awesome ah!]

[……]

Shen Qi took off his headphones.

The other three took them off at the same time.

In contrast, they weren’t as excited as they had been after the third match.

Lu Ziye couldn’t hold back and rushed to embrace them.

These teenagers, he had actually watched them grow up.

Shen Qi blocked Lu Ziye’s arm with one hand, listened to the deafening cheers from the audience, and his lips turned up in a smile.

He watched as Lu Tun, Xu Leng, and Ye Lai embraced each other.

He hadn’t seen such a happy smile on their faces for a long time.

The fatigue caused by the competition had been swept away in a flash.

The dream of these young people ah, had finally come true on this e-sports stage.

They would win more championships, but they’d never forget this championship because this was QAQ’s first year and QAQ’s first championship.

It recorded those round-the-clock days they had gone through.

Secretly practicing in the training room in the middle of the night, and sleeping only a few hours a day.

They had given up once, and had also been confused and helpless before.

They were still growing, and would travel from the domestic e-sports stage to the international one.

They’d demonstrate to more and more people, QAQ was very strong.

Two minutes later, the competition was officially over.

All the lights in the competitors’ seats were turned on.

The two casters congratulated QAQ on winning the championship, then repressed their excitement and began to carry out the routine post game commentary.

All the members of HUOJ stood up and waved to everyone in QAQ.

Then EVE did, then BIG….

It seemed that when QAQ had first come back, they had said, “Welcome back.”

This time, they said, “Congratulations.”

This time, they really went to the stage to get their award.

The three children pushed each other and followed behind Shen Qi. Ye Lai couldn’t help grabbing Lu Tun’s arm and wiping at his tears.

Xu Leng’s eyes were also red.

Lu Ziye also followed them, sighing emotionally. “I’m already this old, and I won so many championships when I was young, so how come I’m even more worked up now watching others get the championship.”

Duan Rong glanced at him. “Do they count as ‘others’? Aren’t you the coach that QAQ hired at a great expense? Even though we have more of a business relationship, we are also a family.”

Lu Ziye laughed and nodded.

There was only one trophy, which was handed into Shen Qi’s arms first.

Shen Qi glanced at it and threw it directly to Lu Tun.

Lu Tun looked distressed, for fear that it would be damaged by the throw. He, Xu Leng, and Ye Lai all held up the not-so-big trophy, and they were so excited they were nearly incoherent.

This was Lu Tun and Xu Leng’s first championship.

It seemed to be a career affirmation.

It was a big step towards their dream.

After the interview, everyone packed up and prepared to go back to the base.

Shen Qi felt for a cigarette in his pocket.

“Where did that come from?” Lu Ziye stared at him for a while. He didn’t usually didn’t have a habit of smoking.

Shen Qi openly held up the cigarette. “I got one from Bo Li.”

He didn’t smoke and didn’t have any cigarettes on him, but at the moment, he kept feeling as though he needed to smoke a bit and calm down.

His gaze fell on the children ahead who were completely heartless after winning the championship and laughed helplessly.

Lu Ziye shook his head and didn’t seem to want to deal with him.

Everyone had almost completely gone backstage.

QAQ and HUOJ had jointly arranged a celebration banquet.

The other three left with several people from HUOJ.

“You’re not waiting for your captain?” Bo Li turned his head and looked over. The captain of the champion team looked a bit different right now.

Lu Tun twisted his head. “Don’t look, Idol has his partner to pick him up. We don’t, so we have to use the bus.”

Bo Li: …..

Fuck.

They still had to eat dog food after the competition.

Everyone else looked at each other and laughed, understanding without needing to say anything.

Shen Qi leaned against the wall and looked up at the light in the corridor for a while. His eyes were completely red.

The cigarette between his fingers wasn’t lit. It still looked exactly like when he had taken it out.

A smile grew from the corners of his mouth.

It slowly spread.

Splendid.

Taking this championship was a very happy thing.
