Instead, Maeve just gave a thoroughly unbothered "Oh."
"I watched your matches against Team Thunder and Team Inferno."
"For a female player to dominate the jungle like that, your strategies and mechanics were seriously impressive."
"I heard today was your first official tournament. With skills like yours, how come I've never heard of you before?"
Maeve answered bluntly.
"MRX's jungler got poached the day before the tournament."
"They needed a warm body, so I stepped in to fill the slot. Is that a problem?"
Luke's smirk widened. "Do you know which team poached him?"
"I couldn't care less who poached him," Maeve retorted. "All I know is that MRX is taking the championship this year. Everyone else is just here for the participation trophy."
Her absolute arrogance genuinely made Luke laugh.
Though he was smiling, his eyes were dripping with mockery.
"MRX's new substitute has some serious attitude."
"Since you like being direct, I won't waste time."
"The team that poached MRX's jungler was us, The Berserkers."
"So, gorgeous, interested in joining my roster?"
"If you're smart enough to cut ties with MRX right now, you can name your price."
"I normally never recruit women, but for you, I'd make an exception."
"Just so you know, Kiki from Team Thunder practically begged to join The Berserkers, and I rejected her without a second thought."
"It wasn't because she lacked skill, it was because she wasn't pretty enough."
"But after watching today, I realized she's not just average-looking—she's practically dead weight."
Though Luke was heavily involved in esports, by the time he entered the scene, Maeve had already vanished from the gaming world.
He knew almost nothing about the sheer terror the name BDR once invoked.
But after watching those first two matches, he realized this woman was a legitimate threat to his team's victory.
He wanted to ruthlessly eliminate the problem before she ever stepped onto the stage against him.
Maeve raised an eyebrow, visibly amused.
