Some believed it, others thought it was just PR hype.
True or false, it made Connor the undisputed soul of Team MRX.
As for Team Thunder, their fame came directly from their beloved "mascot"—the only female player on their roster.
She played under the ID Kiki and was the quintessential sweet, adorable gamer girl.
She played Mid Laner APC, never dragged her team down, and had solid technical skills.
The vast majority of esports fans were guys.
Seeing a cute girl fighting her way to the international stage meant they showered her with relentless adoration.
As a result, Team Thunder had skyrocketed in popularity all thanks to Kiki.
As the two teams walked onto the stage, a wave of confusion rippled through the audience.
Murmurs broke out across the crowd.
"Wait, what's going on? Why does MRX suddenly have a female player?"
Even the two seasoned hosts looked entirely baffled.
"Is it just my eyes," the male host asked, "or is Connor's Jungler missing?"
A staff member quickly handed Silas a microphone.
Silas addressed the crowd smoothly.
"Yesterday, Finn Chase requested to terminate his contract with MRX."
"To allow him to pursue broader opportunities, we didn't hold him back."
"To ensure we could compete today, I had to bring in MRX's ultimate secret weapon."
"Allow me to formally introduce..."
Silas gestured toward Maeve.
"Her MRX ID is BDR."
The cameraman immediately zoomed in on Maeve's face.
She was tall, striking, and unbelievably beautiful.
Standing center stage in her sharp uniform flanked by four guys, she commanded everyone's attention.
But when the name BDR was announced, most people just looked confused.
