Chapter 174
Samantha had been training everyone for the past five days.
At the same time, an assistant and a substitute were recruited in case of an emergency.
Other teams also had coaches and so on.
However, Samantha was playing multiple roles in Team Gorgeous.
In fact, each team had some sponsors to cover their daily expenses.
Electronic products were costly.
These days, some advertisers have approached Samantha with hopes that her team could wear uniforms featuring their advertisements.
Samantha, not interested in dealing with this, hired an assistant to handle such matters.
After all, they were really not short of money and didn’t need sponsorship.
The substitute was a boy from Elstunda University and Lawrence’s roommate.
His name was Yarrick Hunt.
Upon hearing that Samantha and her team were recruiting a substitute, he promptly volunteered himself to Lawrence and succeeded due to his first–mover advantage
Samantha didn’t pay much attention to the substitute, since the role was primarily decorative.
But during the five–day training, the team also brought him along.
Samantha paid attention to the level of Yarrick, which was not bad, and his skills were comparable to Lawrence’s.
However, he displayed a tendency to become irritable and prone to outbursts while playing games.
This was something Samantha didn’t like.
She had reminded Yarrick to exercise restraint, and after he had demonstrated some self–control, Samantha let the matter
Test.
After five days of training, the finals officially began.
In the first round, they faced Team Pumpkin, their once–defeated foe.
They were also the team who had deliberately humiliated them in the lounge.
However, they never beat Team Gorgeous
It sounded embarrassing.
This time, they had another five days of training.
The strength of Samantha’s Team Gorgeous had already surpassed that of Team Pumpkin, so Samantha didn’t worry too much.
She thought winning was within her grasp.

However, something unforeseen happened.
After winning the first round, Lawrence suddenly experienced abdominal pain while resting in the lounge.
He curled up on the sofa, clutching his belly, with pale lips and a cold sweat on his forehead.
Howard was shocked by the turn of events.
“Bro, what’s wrong with you? Are you poisoned?”
Lawrence bit his lips and said in pain, “I don’t know.”
Samantha frowned and said, “Assistant, please take Lawrence to the hospital first.”
“No, Samantha!” Lawrence said anxiously. “I want to compete! I want to defeat Team Pumpkin with you! I want to win the finals together!
Samantha said, “It’s essential that we defeat Team Pumpkin. We’re confident we’ll win the finals, but it’s not sensible for you to keep competing in this condition. If you head to the hospital right away, you might still have a chance to come back and help us win the championship.”
She added, “On the contrary, if you insist on being stubborn and staying now, you might end up missing the next round because you won’t be able to endure it.”
“I agree.” Howard added, offering words of consolation. “Don’t worry. Have faith in us, won’t you? I guarantee we’ll defeat Team Pumpkin. Just relax and go to the hospital first! Your roommate Yarrick is here. Let him step in as your substitute for the competition.”
Lawrence knew Yarrick’s capabilities, so he nodded in relief and looked at Yarrick.
“Buddy, I will leave it to you.”
An inexplicable gleam flashed in Yarrick’s eyes. “Don’t worry, buddy. I will do my best.”
“Okay”
Therefore, in the second round of the competition, Yarrick replaced Lawrence.
Seeing that one of the team members was suddenly replaced, the audience also began to raise questions,
The commentator promptly explained that Team Gorgeous‘ support had suddenly fallen ill and had to go to the hospital. As a result, the substitute stepped in for the competition.
Only then did the gossip quiet down.
However, they also began to worry about the Team Gorgeous.
It turned out that their concerns were necessary.
The incident of Lawrence falling ill and Yarrick’s substitution did indeed cause a lot of trouble for Team Gorgeous.
Everything proceeded normally at the beginning of the second round.
However, when the battle heated up in the bottom lane.
However, Yarrick made frequent mistakes, leading to Howard’s death three times in a row.
Yarrick also died three times.

The bottom laner of Team Pumpkin eliminated six opponents, giving their team a significant advantage.
He was the advantageous character on the field.
After Howard died again, he smashed the keyboard in anger.
“Damn it, Yarrick! What’s wrong with you? Do you know how to play games?”
Yarrick apologized weakly, Tim sorry. I am nervous as it is my first time on the field.
“Forget it,” Howard said, recalling Samantha’s instructions to keep their team united and friendly. He suppressed his anger.
“Then focus on performing well in the next fight. If you can’t contribute, don’t put yourself in harm’s way”
“Okay, Yarrick answered obediently.
However, during the next wave of team fights to take down Baron Nashor, Yarrick made a significant mistake.
Yanick should have protected Howard and used his hook to help him block the attack reasonably.
However, Yarrick made a critical error when in the positioning. Not only did he fail to shield Howard from the enemy’s attack, but he also exposed Howard directly to the opponent’s top laner and jungler.
The jungler managed to stun–lock Howard, and the subsequent coordinated attack quickly took him down.

Simultaneously, Samantha and Darwin found themselves under attack from the opponent’s high–level up ADC members and were forced to retreat, their life points nearly depleted.
In the end, three people from Team Gorgeous died in this team light.
Samantha and Darwin fled with only a sliver of their remaining life points.
Team Pumpkin not only killed three of their members but also defeated Baron Nashor,
Their advantage was further expanded.
“Fuck Howard couldn’t help but lose his temper.
“Didn’t Lawrence say you knew how to fight? Is this your idea of being good at fighting? What can you contribute besides. granting our opponents a positional advantage?”
Howard glanced at Yarrick maliciously, “I hope he is not a spy sent by Team Pumpkin.”
“Of course not!” Yarrick immediately denied, T’m just… I’m just too nervous.”
“Haba”
Samantha sneered, her final words carrying a chilling tone that sent shivers through the surroundings.
“Let’s concede this competition for now and allow them to win. We shouldn’t let it affect our mindset. To be precise, we can discuss it in the lounge later, Samantha suggested.
“What?” Howard expressed clear regret and muttered with a sense of disappointment, “I had hoped to defeat them 3-0, 1 didn’t anticipate losing a game at first. It’s disheartening”
“It’s all right. Samantha reassured them. “We’ve just lost one round, let them have their moment of joy and hope, and then we’ll crush them decisively. So they can realize…
As Samantha said this, she purposefully paused, casting a meaningful glance at Yarrick, and then continued with a cold tone.

“One shouldn’t stoop to such underhanded tactics. In the end, whatever they do, it’s merely a futile effort. A defeated opponent will always stay defeated…”

“That’s right!” Howard suddenly regained his confidence. “Let these brats have their moment of victory first, and then we’ll obliterate them to show them how to behave!”
In the end, after another round of team fights, Team Pumpkin emerged victorious, with Yarrick making yet another critical
mistake.
Some of the audience were left dumbfounded by this outcome, while others cheered for the victors.
“Well… I thought Team Gorgeous could keep their victory all the time, but I didn’t expect them to lose so soon.”
“I’ve always said that while a new team like Team Gorgeous may be ambitious, they still lack the stability of the old teams.” “If this trend continues, and if they persist in relying on this substitute, Team Gorgeous is destined to lose…”
