Chapter 121

The competition was a best-of-three series, and the first round ended just as expected, with Vortex Esports losing to Shadow Reapers.

Arabella ripped off her headphones and snapped at the opposing team, "You guys just ganged up on me because I can't play well. How does that count you capable? Shame on you!"

She was not one to handle any sort of setback gracefully, and her temper flared like a bonfire.

The captain of Shadow Reapers chuckled. "Winning and losing isn't on just one person. You're part of Vortex Esports, so of course we're going to target you. Do you think we should just let you win?"

Arabella glared at him, biting her lip forcibly.

Another teammate chimed in with a smirk, "You've got your brother with you. If he decided to bring you along, we can't just go easy on you, can we? This is a team competition.

Honestly, I didn't expect you to not practice at all. You can't even use your skills properly. Good thing your brother picked you, saved us from the hassle."
