Half a year ago.

San Francisco, USA, 60,000 people stadium.

Dota's top esports pinnacle event - the WCG World Finals.

The light and shadow flickered, and the dazzling beams cast by hundreds of spotlights illuminated the stadium in a psychedelic and colorful way, and the rapid jumping colors made people feel the blood and blood boiling.

Tens of thousands of esports players chanted wildly.

The applause and cheers were like a tsunami and deafening, resounding throughout the arena.

In the center of the stage of the gymnasium, on the giant electronic screen, a large "3:2" record is projected.

Symbolizing the last battle that has just ended, it is a shocking lore.

NO！ ――NO！ ――NO！ ――

NO！ ――NO！ ――NO！ ――

The loud and boiling shouts in the stadium gradually became uniform, and all the esports players chanted the same name.

NO, which is the abbreviation of the English word number.

That's the name of the winning team.

It is the pinnacle king team that won this WCG World Championship.

On the bench on the left side of the esports stage, five North American players from Team Glory sat in front of their dedicated event computers with dejected faces, feeling sluggish and demoralized.

From the North American division all the way to the stage of the World Finals, from the group stage to the knockout round, and finally to today's finals, they have overcome obstacles and paid countless painstaking efforts and costs.

But I didn't expect-

It's still defeated.

(and...... ）

The blonde young man at the head of Team Glory, whose handsome face was a little distorted by unwillingness, clenched his rattling teeth, and looked at the winner's seat not far away.

(Actually, I still lost to such an opponent-)

The Glory captain's gaze fell, and there was silence in the winner's table on the other side.

There was no ecstatic celebration that should have been the winner of the finals.

If you look closely, the arena on the left, in front of the seats of the five dedicated event computers, is extremely eerily empty, and even the computers are maintaining a black screen shutdown state that has not been turned on.

Depression. Deserted.

It is incompatible with the frenzied chanting of tens of thousands of spectators in the field.

Such a pinnacle event that symbolizes the top of the Dota esports circle, as one of the teams in the finals, and even the glorious peak champion of this year's WCG World Finals, is ......

Didn't show up at all!?

This also made the five players of the glory team who were the defeated side feel even more ashamed and aggrieved, and the sense of loss and humiliation of defeat doubled geometrically at this moment, and their chests were simply suffocating and wanting to kill.

As a result, the five fierce murderous gazes were filled with resentment and threw themselves at the arena on the other side not far away.

And the first thing that catches your eye is a bright gold nameplate with the name of the team printed on the table table with a big grin and grandeur.

“NO”。
