Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 187

The pro gamer had just executed a flawless combo, the sounds of victory echoing in his headphones,

“Killing!”

He thought he had nailed his opponent once again, but suddenly, his screen went black.

On the projector screen in his streaming studio, bold letters appeared: You has been slain!

Sweetheart was stunned, and so was the pro gamer.

Neither had seen what exactly had happened, and the chat went wild:

–“What just happened? Did I miss something or is there a glitch? How did Sweetheart get taken down?”

–“I’m shook!”

–“That’s gotta be a hack, right? Dead twice and still manages a comeback?”

While everyone was in shock, the game screen flashed with Learner’s message, “Three strikes, now it’s my turn.”

Such cocky words carried the weight of an entire army, leaving Sweetheart to swallow hard. She muted her studio speakers and turned to the pro gamer, “What’s going on?”

The pro was bewildered, “Must’ve been a fluke. I didn’t expect to get caught and taken out by tower damage. No worries, we’ve got this.”

Their mid–lane mage had a nifty trick – a freezing spell that could immobilize an enemy for two seconds. The pro had been a bit too aggressive, trying to score a kill under the tower, when Learner, almost by accident, caught him in her icy grip, leading to his demise.

He chalked it up to pure luck.

Relieved, Sweetheart reassured her viewers, “Guess I didn’t pay enough attention, folks, No biggie. Let’s give her one kill to save face, so the poor thing doesn’t start crying for real.”

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, but some remained skeptical:

“Sweetheart is always careful with her positioning. It’s not like her to get caught out so easily. That play
