HYST wins VCTâs Game Changers By Bae Sumin
HYST takes the title as the winner of the Valorant Championship Tour (VCT) Game Changers in Los Angeles, USA against defending champion 88RR. The team took over the playing field, showcasing their astounding teamwork and tactful gameplays, and won 3-1 in a best-of-five series.
Since the first match on Bind, players Ailurus (Y/N) and bokku (Miyawaki Sakura) demonstrated their chemistry through their formidable performance as Omen and Yoru respectively. Their alliance was enough for their opponents to avoid one-on-one battles.
Rising player Ppiya (Hong Eunchae) secures her position as one of the most impressive duelists to come from this yearâs VCT. In all of the matches played, Ppiya secures at least one kill per round, placing her 3rd in the leaderboards out of all players in the event.
In their second match on Ascent, remarkable sentinel players CHUU (Kim Jiwoo) and subakhye (Son Hyeju) built solid defense systems and dealt with flanks with ease. They can adjust their setups accordingly as they observe their opponentsâ playstyle.
Although their exceptional performance in Game Changers makes its mark in VCT history, Ailurus only hopes that they are given more opportunities to engage in such tournaments. âI am happy [about our win], but I hope that the [VALORANT] esports scene sees us more than just winners [of Game Changers]. I want to be seen as a remarkable player regardless of gender,â they share.
Despite HYST participating in VCT for the past two years, this is their first championship win. In last yearâs VCT, the organization met its defeat in VALORANT Challengers through their other roster consisting of players bae (Jacob Bae), nuguri (Kim Sunwoo), Darong (Lee Jaehyun), gyulz (Ju Haknyeon), and Maize (Lee Juyeon).
Both teams are under the guidance of Coach bori (Kim Younghoon), a retired VALORANT and League of Legends pro player.
These turn of events displayed HYSTâs dedication to improvement and VALORANT. Many followers hope to see more of the reigning champions of Game Changers.
ROUND 1: âWELCOME TO MY WORLD!â
The moon radiates tonight, its white gleam accompanied by speckles amidst the sea of black. Now would be the perfect moment to take some time to yourself; get in more hours of sleep, or pick up a book youâve been putting off. InsteadâŚ
âHi, everyone! Itâs been a while,â you greet your viewers through the webcam.
The monitor shines on you, colors of blue and violet painting your skin. On the wall behind you is a shelf filled with memorabilia; medals from small competitions along with trophies from bigger tournaments.Â
âI know itâs a little late here, but I was itching to play some matches.â Your eyes glide through your streamâs chat. Many viewers are ecstatic to have you back on Twitch while others question your late hours of streaming.
jseollie: even after game changers?? CRAZY! bboppull: GRIND NEVER STOPS đŞđŞđŞ bookeucutie: tell us abt vct!!!
A chuckle leaves you as you open up Valorant. âI really enjoyed my time in VCT! I met some of my favorite players like Lorri from Evil Genius, sonder from Shopify, even Version1âs MeL.â
You lean back on your chair as you recall the event. âI wonât lie, I was very nervous about going against 88RR, which, by the way, is a lovely team. We met up for drinks after.â You scratch the back of your neck as you try to go through what your chat says.
âI remember talking to Kura about it since the semifinals, and she had to give me a constant pep talk.â The memory of Sakura knocking sense into you after every match makes you laugh.
As you dish to your viewers about your experience throughout Game Changers, you read their comments. Many of your viewers were happy with your revelation of the teams' bonds with each other. âYeah, weâre competitive but weâre here with the same dreams, so I think it did help us form some kind of connection. I was able to exchange contacts with Sunmi and Taeyeon as well. I told them that whenever they decide to come back to Korea, they should give me a call.â
ajiajibee: is the trophy with you? ghanadara: i think itâs beside the picture frame
âOh, I donât get to keep it. Itâs back in the headquarters,â you say as you slightly swivel your chair to the side. âThat picture frame, however,â you point at your shelf, âis my certificate. That way, we all have something to bring home.â
You adjust your chair before smiling at the camera. âAnyway, Iâm really happy that our practice paid off. It was an honor to even participate and meet other players.â
Most of the reactions were positive ones; congratulations and desires to see your team play together for more events. Yet, regardless of your achievements, thereâs constantly a handful of negative ones.
hwithefool: Cant believe you won game changers. Ur not even that good. hwithefool: didnât even get to champs L honeycube: boosted ass universefactory deleted hwithefoolâs message. universefactory deleted hwithefoolâs message. universefactory deleted honeycubeâs message. hwithefool is now banned from this chat. Reason: Being rude honeycube is now banned from this chat. Reason: Being rude
Thankfully, your moderators were there to take control of suchâbut youâll always know what people think of you.
âAnyway, for todayâs stream, Iâll be playing with Juhak and Hyeju!â You exclaim as you switch scenes, now showing the Valorant lobby. âWeâre going to play on our alt accounts for today, so it should be fun.â
real_juhaknyeon: LFGGGGG goated team rubyvobo: we get nom, jeorge porkwell, AND hyejuseyo?? We win today sunwooluver: what about nuguri?? heâs solo queuing right now rubyvobo: OFHEJSHSJJSKS I LOVE YOU GUYS sunwooluver: WILL NUGURI JOIN??
One of the few perks that comes with being an established streamer is that you could ignore comments, pretending you never saw them, and youâd get away with it; people just didnât need to talk about it all together and youâd be fine.
So when you invite Haknyeon and Hyeju to your party, you continue talking to your chat about todayâs stream. âWeâre not going to play ranked today, I think?â You hum for a moment, going through the agenda in your head. âWell, we might, but I have no clue. It depends on what they want.â
Before you can continue with your rambles, your phone vibrates on your desk. Once you grab it, you notice that text messages from Kim Younghoon, the coach of the organization, have come your way.
coach bbang đ: hi y/n! donât forget to remind your teammates about tomorrowâs meeting for vct âşď¸ coach bbang đ: and gl with your stream tonight! y/n: teewai coach :DD see u tomo
âSorry about that!â You put your phone away and give your full attention to your monitor. Hyeju and Haknyeon already joined your party, and you spot that theyâre in a voice channel on the HYSTâs Discord server. âBefore I go join VC with the others, I just wanted to say thank you for supporting me and the others in Game Changers. It was a fun but tough competition, and I wouldnât be here without you guys.â
Although your job did start as a hobby, you continued to persevere through such hardships thanks to your support systems; your teammates and viewers alike. You only ever considered going pro thanks to two friends. Unfortunately, time has its way of making you drift apart from them; you hope you can go face-to-face against them one day if the universe willed for it.
âAnyway, letâs have some good games!â
âI tuned in to your stream last night, Y/N,â Eunchae starts. âThat losing streak is insane.â
You sigh, shoulders down as you walk dejectedly. âDonât even get me started. Our randos were ass and wouldnât stop talking shit.â You look at your younger friend who only pouts as you recap the events of last night. âI know you would always enter and clear sites for us, my Manchae.â
With your arm wrapped around her shoulder, her expression shifts into a smile. âI mean, thatâs the least I can do as your duelist.â
âWell, not everyone seems to know that.â
The HYST headquarters is a three-story infrastructure whose interior resembles corporate buildings; the furniture is mostly of sleek leather and dark-stained wood. Monotone linoleum tiles and off-white walls stretch throughout the building.
As soon as you both arrive in front of the meeting room, you swing the doors open, revealing Sakura, Hyeju, and Jiwoo who sit together on one side of the conference table. You and Eunchae rush to them, exchanging greetings and embraces.
âDo you always play Valorant?â Jiwoo directs the question to you, referencing your stream last night with Hyeju and Haknyeon, to which you roll your eyes.
âNo, I just had the itch to play!â You take a seat in between Sakura and Jiwoo. âPlus, Iâll take any opportunity to make some money.â
The doors swing open. âHi, everyone. Itâs nice to see you all,â Younghoon greets your team before walking to the whiteboard situated in the corner of the room.
The organizationâs general manager, Lee Sangyeon, trails behind him, a smile painting his face as he takes a seat at the end of the table. âIâll say this again, but good work in Game Changers.â
âThanks, Sangyeon,â Sakura expresses her gratitude on behalf of the team. âWe wouldnât have been able to win without your help along with Younghoonâs.â
He shakes his head, trying to play it off. âNo, Iâm just here to make sure you guys get to participate, you know? Just want to make sure that you guys get recognized.â
Silence settles. The squeaking from Younghoon's marker is faint but loud enough to capture your attention. Although his figure covers most of whatâs written on the whiteboard, you catch sight of a few gamer tagsâAilurus and bae.
Before you can decipher the other words, the doors open. âHi, guys!â Haknyeon enters the room with all smiles. âHello Game Changers winners,â he bows his head, making you chuckle.
His teammates, Jacob and Juyeon, trail behind him, relaxed expressions resting on their faces. âCongrats on the win,â Jacob shakes hands with everyone on your team. âThat one play on Ascent went crazy, by the way.â His praise is directed towards you, and you try to play it cool.
âAh, it was nothing. Just got lucky.â
âIf I was in your situation, I probably wouldnât have secured that round,â Juyeon chimes in as he takes a seat beside his teammates. The three boys sit across from your team.
Haknyeon smacks Juyeonâs arm, laughing at his words. âYeah! Remember that one round in Breeze?â Juyeon only rolls his eyes while his teammates recap the events for your team.
You donât really interact with Haknyeonâs team (or Jacobâs team if you were going to follow formalities), just the occasional greetings and small talk if you were going to be honest. Itâs not like you didnât want to be friends with them; there aren't enough opportunities to bond when you all have different schedules, let alone priorities. But you did enjoy their team's presence, and every interaction with them is one you hope may bring your team closer to theirs.
Except for one player.
âSorry, weâre late!â Hyunjae enters the room with an apologetic smile. âSomeone decided to sleep in.â
âNot true! Hyunjaeâs lying.â
The room starts to grow dimmer, almost as if life were sucked out of it. Only you seemed to see it, never the others. There he isâthe only exception.Â
Heâs dressed in an oversized graphic tee layered on top of a white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of black baggy jeans. His hair shows its soft curls, clearly indicating that heâs the one lying.
A playful pout rests on his lips as he tries to continue his defense. Yet, when he locks eyes with you, he holds back. A scowl now paints his face.
If you follow esports, then you would know who Kim Sunwoo isâan established pro player who switched from Overwatch to Valorant. At first, many people were confused by his choice, throwing away years invested into a different game. Yet, it seemed that he didnât care about what others had to say as he signed with HYST a few months after he started playing Valorant.
Within that time frame, he was able to impress Younghoon and Sangyeon with his gameplay. After all, Valorant and Overwatch required different playstyles. It was easy for him to become big in the Valorant pro scene, as you would like to say, for he made use of his existing fame.
Heâs adored by many people who follow the pro scene; audience and players alike. You, however, seemed to think differently.
You shift your gaze to Younghoon, silently hoping that the meeting will commence. As if he heard your thoughts, he says, âNo worries. Go, take your seats.â
Unfortunately, Hyunjae opts to sit across from Eunchae, leaving one vacant seat across from you.Â
Sunwoo sits on the chair as a dejected sigh leaves him, causing you to roll your eyes while you keep your gaze away from him. All you need to do is get through the meeting and you wonât have to face him for a while.
âThank you everyone for coming here today,â Younghoon starts as he faces all of you. The whiteboard behind him has now been flipped, and the gamer tags are now hidden. âUh, before we get into the agenda for todayâs meeting, letâs congratulate the winners of Game Changers!â
Applause erupts from everyone who didnât participate in that competition, but your eyes donât miss how slow the boy across you claps, almost as if he wasnât impressed.
âNow, we can get to the point of todayâs meeting.â Younghoon steps to the side, revealing the text writtenâVCT GAMEPLAN with irregular shapes surrounding it. âWe all know that VCT is around the corner, a few months from now, which means weâve got to start our preparations.â
âNormally, we wouldâve gone straight to strategizing and having you guys,â your coach looks at the team across you, âpractice, but Sangyeon and I have agreed on doing things differently this year.â He flips the board, revealing everyoneâs gamer tags. âWeâre changing the roster.â
Many players are caught off-guard by Younghoonâs announcement. Itâs not usual for a roster change to take place, especially with only a few months left before qualifiers commence.
âWe know that not everyone may want to participate in the upcoming VCT, and Iâve spent weeks trying to configure whatâs the best roster to represent HYST.â Younghoon then pulls out a blue marker and starts to circle some names; CHUU, Darong, bae, nuguri, and⌠Ailurus? âThese are my picks for VCT.â
A frown appears on your face, but before you can comment, Haknyeon beats you to it. âI donât know if having Hyunjae and Sunwoo play together is smart.â All eyes are now on him. âI mean, no offense,â his eyes flicker to the two subjects, âI donât know if Jiwoo and Y/N would be able to keep up, and thatâs not a diss to them.â
âI agree,â Jacob chimes in. âHaknyeonie, Juyeon, and I can play with Sunwoo and Hyunjae as duelists because we know their playstyles well. Weâve played together for years. Y/N and Jiwoo would be playing with them for the first time.â
Younghoon bites the inside of his cheek, deep in thought as he considers whatâs been said. âThoughts?â He directs his question to the two people in question. The two players exchange glances, almost as if they were communicating.
âYeah, I know Sunwoo and I can adjust our playstyle but it took more than half a year for Juyeon and Haknyeon to get used to our playstyle,â Hyunjae says as he scratches the back of his neck. âAnd if it helps, Iâd prefer to sit this one out. You know, I have a lot of sponsorships lined up that I need to stream for also.â
Your coach sighs. âNo worries. What about you, Sunwoo?â
âWait, can I say something?â Jiwoo gathers the attention of everyone in the room. âI also want to opt out of VCT. I mean, I just played in Game Changers.â A guilty smile takes over her features.
Thankfully, Younghoon acknowledges where Jiwoo comes from. âOf course, I understand. After all, thatâs why we're having this meeting.â
Before your coach can try to reconfigure the roster, Sangyeon stands up from his seat.
âCan I suggest another rotation?â Younghoon nods before handing him a red marker. Sangyeon starts to circle another list of gamer tags, ones he believes should be in the final line-up of players for VCT; it consists of bokku, bae, gyulz, Ppiya, and⌠Ailurus, again? Your coach frowns as he looks at the selection.
âI think Sunwoo should be benched.â Your eyebrows shoot up at Sangyeonâs words, not expecting those words considering the playerâs reputation.âHeâs made some rash plays recently, and you know that.â You glance at the boy who sits across from you only to see that his gaze is affixed to the ground.Â
Younghoon shakes his head, clearly in disbelief at the managerâs words. âYes, but thatâs only for a few matches. Trust me when I say that Sunwoo is strong as a duelist and an initiator.â His attempt to defend his mentee is weak against Sangyeonâs opinion.
âHe plays for himself!â
Clearly, the two higher-ups have opposing views.
âThink about it; Eunchae and Sakura are great duelists, and anyone else on that team plays initiator.â
Although Sangyeon seems to believe his proposed line-up is the best one yet, your coach shakes his head. âEunchae isnât playing.â He glances at her before saying, âShe told me beforehand.â All eyes are now on the teen who only shows an apologetic smile.
âSorry, I wanted to take a break from this yearâs VCT to focus on my studies.â
Sangyeon scratches the back of his neck. âWellââ
âHey,â Sakura cuts into the conversation. âHavenât we considered that Y/N and Sunwoo might not want to play together?â She looks at you two with scrunched eyebrows, clearly confused by your coachâs proposal. âI mean, we all know their relationship, no?â
Your feud isnât under the table. All of the players know about your distaste towards each other but they donât know where it stems from.
âYes, but their playstyles complement each other.â Everyoneâs confused as to why Younghoon is persistent. âOut of all my mentees, Iâve worked with them the most, and I know exactly how they can work together.â
âWell, I want Y/N on that team.â As your manager says that, all the attention is now on you. Youâre not sure why Sangyeon would say that. Uncomfortable with how youâve become the topic of the conversation, you cannot help but sink into your seat.
âAnd I agree with you. But if weâre going to have Y/N play, I need Sunwoo on that team.â You lock eyes with Sunwoo briefly as your coach says that. âHeâs my one-pick, and I know heâll help the team out the most.â Sangyeon sighs, rethinking the roster once more. You shift your gaze to the ground, clearly unhappy being paired with the player across from you.
You werenât happy that the two continued to discuss the final roster without asking you, but before you could speak up, someone beat you to it.
âShouldnât Y/N take a break?â Your gaze lands on the boy across from you, eyebrows now furrowed over his suggestion. âI mean, they did just come from winning Game Changers. We can have Juyeon take over.â When you spot a small smirk resting on his lips, you ball your fists.
Whatever game Sunwoo is playing, you donât want any part of it. If anything, whatever heâs trying to insinuate has you clenching your teeth. And youâre about to retortâ
âNo,â Sangyeon says, speaking on your behalf. âY/Nâs a good leader and a team player. I trust Y/N the most out of all the people on the roster.â
Sunwoo raises his hands in defense. âIt was only a suggestion.â But when he glances at you, you donât miss the sinister smile on his face.
Not only was Sunwoo trying to bench you out of the competition but Sangyeon and Younghoon were too invested in their conversation, speaking on your behalf as if you were nothing but a tool for the organization. Without a second thought, you stand up from your seat. Everyoneâs eyes are on you as you storm out of the room.
Thatâs the thing about being a pro player in the esports scene; no one seems to listen to you if you arenât a man.
For once, silence settles amongst everyone. Your departure is a message, one that everyone failed to see earlier on.
A sigh leaves Sakura. âI know weâre all worried about VCT but letâs not forget to hear everyone out, okay?â She glances at the doors that are now shut closed, wondering where you may have gone. âYou know Y/N. Just avoid speaking on their behalf and let them talk for themselves.â
âYeah,â Eunchae huffs, âletâs give them time to cool down. We only wrapped up Game Changers a few weeks ago.â
As Younghoon crosses his arms, a sigh leaves him as he looks down to the floor. âSorry, Sangyeon and I were too caught up with what we wanted.â He glances at his watch before shifting his gaze to the players who sit idly. âLetâs talk about this again once they come back.â
In the eye of a hurricane stands you, a witness to the chaos, wondering what course of action nature shall take upon you. Somehow, your screams are soundlessânot a single soul minds the hurricane for as long as it doesnât hit them.
You stand in front of the washroom mirror, taking your time to recollect your thoughts. The stress that comes from the upcoming VCT, the pressure to represent HYST once more, the likelihood of working with Kim Sunwoo for the first timeâthereâs nothing you can control.
The stars point you towards acceptance, perseverance.
Itâs not that you were against representing HYST for the upcoming VCT events. If anything, you were grateful that Sangyeon and Younghoon trusted you to undertake such an important role.
Although youâve competed in Game Changers, the audience it attracts is smaller in comparison to the ones your manager and coach want to see you in. All eyes will be on you as you compete to reach to Champions.
The weight that comes with playing in a worldwide esports event, one that most of the community is tuned into, rests on your shouldersâa coalition of anxiety from every round that plays out, migraines from reconfiguring your strategies, the comments of you playing just because you arenât a man. Those reasons should be enough for you to decline the offer, to protect your peace, and to make more out of your streams.
But nothing can compare to bringing back home the fruit of your laborâthe Champions Cupâthe recognition that comes from competing, and the bond built amongst teammates. If you got to experience all that from Game Changers, youâre almost certain that VCT will bring experiences to be marked in your books.
But what do you know, right?
With a mind clearer after todayâs event, you exit the washroom, still deciding whether you should compete or not. Yet, itâs as if the universe has plans to provoke you as you come face-to-face with the last person you want to see.
His eyes lock with yours and a snarl appears on his face. âWhat? I had to use the washroom.â Defensive, like always.
Before you can make your way back to the conference room, he grabs your arm, holding you back. You glare at Sunwoo, your eyes glancing at his hand on your arm, and he lets go.
He bites the inside of his cheek. âI know we donât like each other.â Tell me about it. âBut,â he sucks in a breath as he stares back at you. âI know we want to prove ourselves, so why donât we just suck it up and work together?â
Anyone could believe that Sunwooâs trying to play nice with youâheâs willing to make amends in hopes that thereâs no bad blood between you twoâbut you could care less about what this man has to say.
âItâs not that easy,â you start. âYou donât understand what I want.â Unlike him, you know that proving yourself does nothing.
His frowns over your words. âWhat do you meanââ
âSunwoo, you can easily say you want to play to prove yourself,â you cut him off. âI canât say the same for me. Itâs a privilege enough that I can even play in these events.â You jab your index finger against his chest, making him stagger backward.
Thatâs what makes you and Sunwoo different; while he chases praises from a few lucky plays, youâre left to deal with the backlash from just breathing.
If Sunwoo wants to retort, you donât give him the chance to do so as you walk away from him. As you reach the doors, you take a deep breath in before swinging them open. The chatter is interrupted by your presence as you make your way back to your seat.
Sunwoo follows shortly, keeping his gaze on you as he takes his seat. You wouldâve ignored the way he looks at you but the eye contact you two exchange amplifies what you told him then in the halls. So when an ominous grin appears on your face, the lousy bridge he tried to build towards you crumbles. After all, it was constructed on a poor attempt to save his career.
âCount me in.â
ROUND 2: âYOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS THAT YOU PISSED ME OFF.â
With every day that passes, the weight of VCT rests heavier on your shoulders. Playing with a team you donât compete with is not easy. Yet, youâre hopeful todayâitâs all you have, after all.
As you enter the practice room, you are greeted by the chilly air that emits from the air conditioners. The practice room resembles an internet cafe; desks are lined up with monitors and keyboards while CPUs are placed under the tables.
You catch sight of Sakura and Haknyeon chatting away as they sit in front of their assigned computers. Jacob, however, is busy talking to Younghoon; you can only assume theyâre talking about possible strategies.
Before you take a seat beside Haknyeon, you make sure to greet everyone. âAnd I couldnât believe Juyeon just fell to the floor!â He exclaims which has Sakura laughing.
âWhatâd I miss?â
Haknyeon looks at you on the brink of tears before he retells the story. âOkay, because you know how Juyeon and I share a room?â You nod. âSo, I told Juyeon to shut the lights off on his way to bed because I was ready to go to sleep. But somehow, he got lazy while walking so he had this genius idea to just jump to the bed.â At this point, your friend is laughing in between words, and the story has gone incomprehensible.
âAnd the next thing you know it, Haknyeon hears a sudden thump.â
You burst into laughter over the story. âYouâre telling me he missed?!â The only answers you get are chortles from the two.
Preparations for VCT have fueled your anxiety for many reasons, possible losses and backlash to name a few, but Haknyeon and Sakura bring pockets of sunshine amidst the storm. If they werenât here, you wouldnât know how to deal with your worries.
âSorry, Iâm late!â Your mood shifts as your last teammate enters the room with an iced americano in his hand. You both lock eyes for a brief moment before you shift your gaze back to your friends, chewing on the inside of your cheek.
âOkay, hurry! Everyone, start fixing your setups,â Younghoon orders as he claps his hands, grabbing everyoneâs attention.
You chose your seat in hopes that Jacob would sit beside you, making it easier for you both to discuss possible team strategies. Yet, the other in-game leader sits somewhere else, leaving Sunwoo to take the spot next to you. Your bubbly mood has turned sour.
âAnyway, today we will be having a practice match! So, what to expect is thatâŚâ
Younghoonâs words fall flat on your ears as your heartbeat fills your ears. As you try to fix your monitor and audio settings to fit your preferences, you hope that the anxiety will die down. Yet, you feel a pair of eyes stare a hole right into youâannoyance now accompanies your anxiety.
âCan you mind your own business and listen to Coach?â You raise the question, only loud enough for your annoying teammate to hear.
âI am paying attention.â
You scoff, âOh, so youâll listen now?â You rip your gaze away from the computer to glare at Sunwoo. âYou didnât listen to me last time.â
A few days ago, your team decided to scrimmage against the other members of the organization. It was a good way to practice before signing up for scrimmages against other teams participating.
Unfortunately for you, it was a match that solidified your dislike of the player. With every round, he found ways to get on your nerves, ignoring your comms and playing for himself to name a few. If you were going to be honest, you expected a bit more from SunwooâSangyeon is right about his stance on the player.
Sunwoo shrugs, glancing at your coach who continues to explain todayâs practice match. âI donât know, your strats werenât making sense last time. I trust Jacob more.â
You clench your fists as you close your eyes briefly in disbelief. âSo, if itâs a man speaking, youâll listen?â You shake your head in disbelief as you return your attention to the computer. âJacob and I had the same plan, asshole.â
If Sunwoo wanted to defend himself, heâs not allowed to do so as Younghoon calls on both of your names. âHey, are you listening?â The two of you nod profusely in a poor attempt to hide your conversation. âOkay then. For todayâs scrimmage, youâll be going against RUSH.â
Thereâs no way, right? âSorry, did you say RUSH?â You earn a nod from him, and your world tilts on its axis. After how many years, it only took one scrimmage for you to reunite with your reasons behind why you stand in the pro scene todayâJeon Jungkook and Eric Sohn.
The three of you first met each other in university in a club full of people who liked to play video games. At first, you werenât sure why you joined in the first place, dreading the possibility of dealing with men who would throw misogynistic comments towards you. Yet, the universe found a way to make sure you would enjoy your stay, gifting you two boys who became your best friends from university.Â
âToday is the perfect time to get to know your opponents, get a feel of what they do. I know that you guys have started playing together, trying to get a feel of what itâs like to play together, but I hope this scrimmage will build on it,â Younghoon says as your team quickly logs into their accounts on Discord.
Once youâve logged in, you notice that Younghoon has sent you an invite to a Discord server. You accept it, greeted by the huge selection of teams participating, and you catch sight of RUSH in a voice channel. All of their gamer tags are recognizable, but two of them have stuck with you since your university days.
âYou can all jump on the voice channel with them. Donât forget to introduce yourselves.â
Youâre the first to hop on a call and your teammates follow you shortly. Usually, you were the type to have someone lead the conversation, but to say you were excited to talk to your old friends would be an understatement. âHi, everyone.â
âOh my god, is that Y/N?â Jungkook asks, surprised by the sound of a familiar voice.
âY/N?!â Ericâs microphone crackles over how loud he exclaims your name, and a grin rests on your lips over the reactions.
There they are. âI know, itâs been forever. I havenât talked to you both since we graduated.â
The next thing you know, their faces appear on the screen; they donât look too different from when you last saw them, but theyâve grown up. âIs it actually you?!â Jungkook asks. âI wonât believe it until I see you.â
A chuckle leaves your lips over your old friendâs words. âGod, Iâll turn my cam on.â You click on the video icon, revealing your poor attempt to hold back your grin. âHappy now?âÂ
âItâs been so long, what the fuck? I miss you! Congrats on your win!â Eric says. âEveryone, why donât we turn on our cams?â Both his teammates and yours have turned their cameras on. âLetâs introduce ourselves.â
The introductions are quick. You learned the real names of Jungkook and Ericâs teammates; Choi Soobin, Jeon Wonwoo, and Lee Jeno. RUSHâs roster is a good selection of players. Your palms get sweaty as you hear your heartbeat in your earsânothing couldâve prepared you for todayâs scrimmage.Â
Before you can all agree to start the match, Sunwoo pops a question. âSorry, how do you guys know each other?â You watch his expression through Discord, eyebrows scrunched in confusion.
Jungkook chuckles before saying, âWe went to uni together, met in this club which we all left after our first year.â All he gets is a hum from your teammate, but you donât miss the way Sunwoo looks off into nowhere, almost as if heâs irritatedâyou wonder why his mood shifted. âAnyway, are we ready to have our match?â You all hum in agreement before turning your cameras off.
âAlright, good luck and have fun!â
The worst Valorant matches are the ones that reach overtime. Itâs 12 to 13 on Icebox in RUSHâs favor, and your team is on the brink of losingâonly one win is needed and your opponent will leave victorious.
âI think we should go through mid and then make our way through A-site.â
You shake your head in disapproval. âNo, Jacob, I think we should enter a site together instead. Itâs risky to pass through mid since,â you glance at the leaderboard to check how many credits Jungkook has, âI have a strong feeling someone will use an operator.â
Although Jacob seems to consider your suggestion, a groan leaves Sunwoo. âWouldnât it be better to split up?â
âNo, weâre not strong enough to fight our own battles. We need to play together, fight together.â You would like to think that your team can handle isolated battles, but you guys were weak against RUSH. Perhaps they had good reflexes or better game sense.
As the timer starts to count down, Jacob orders, âOkay, weâll go with Y/Nâs plan. The most important thing is that we donât pick fights on our own and plant the spike.â
The round commences, and you all make your way into your positions; Sakura and Jacob slowly make their way through A-main while you go up to the belt. Haknyeon carefully sets up his trip wires and camera before joining you.
âIâm going to dart first.â Once you get your recon bolt out, you shoot it far enough to land on the wall; it catches the presence of Soobin and Wonwoo. The toxic screen goes up, perfectly concealing the site.
âGo!â
It happens all too quickly, shots fired and damage dealt and received. Before you know it, your team is deadâexcept for one who didnât seem to listen to your plans.
âOh, youâve got to be kidding me,â you say as you spectate Sunwoo, watching that heâs making his way back to where you guys died, leaving mid. There are only two players that he needs to fight, Jungkook on Jett and Eric on Deadlock. You know the round is tense, and the last thing you want to do is aggravate him.
Thankfully, Sunwoo plants the spike, but he situates himself in a spot that wouldnât allow him to reposition quickly. A pair of footsteps go up the stairs, signaling that someone is making their way to heaven.
For a moment, he keeps his gaze affixed to screens, but he looks back to A-main, expecting a flank, and heâs right; Eric comes into his vision.
You expect Sunwoo to win the fight, but when his body falls to the ground, a sigh leaves you. The mood has plummeted, sinking into murky waters of frustration, disappointment. âFuck, sorry,â Sunwoo apologizes as he covers his mouth in frustration.
âItâs okay, you tried,â Jacob attempts to console his teammate. âGood work, everyone.â
The spike gets defused; HYST has lost against RUSH.
âCome on, letâs go hop on a call with them again.â
With that, your team follows Jacobâs orders. âTight match everyone, but a fun one!â Wonwoo says.
âYeah, thanks for the game,â Sakura responds, trying to stay in high spirits.
âWell, we have to get going. We have another scrimmage,â Eric starts. âY/N, send me your number through DMs. Letâs hang with Jungkook.â
You hum, a small smile resting on your lips. âSure, see you guys in Challengers.â With that, everyone leaves the voice channel.
While RUSH is probably celebrating their win, HYST is in low spirits. Itâs a practice match, sure, but still a match nevertheless.
âGood work, everyone,â Younghoon says in an attempt to cheer everyone up. âI really liked the energy I saw from you guys. You all put up a good fight and fought together.â
Although everyone seems to hum in agreement with your coach, you donât join in. âWhy did you stray off?â You redirect your gaze to the boy beside you, only earning a frown. âDidnât we agree to play together?â
He rolls his eyes at you. âYeah, butââ
âBut what, Sunwoo? What couldâve been the reason for you to not enter with us and not follow the game plan?â Youâre frustrated over everything; the stress of VCT, your loss against RUSH, your teammate who never listens to you.
âHey, knock it off!â Younghoon gets in between you two. âNow is not the time to be fighting.â You and Sunwoo only glare at each other. âCannot believe Iâm dealing with a bunch of 5-year-olds,â he mutters under his breath.
âJacob and Sakura, nice work in holding B-site, by the way. Haknyeon, you also did well holding A-site.â Then, your coach glances between you two. âNow, we still need to work on your coordination and teamwork.â Itâs a statement for your whole team, but it feels as if it were directed at you and Sunwoo. You wish you sat out of VCT.
âYou can go now.â
With that, everyone gets ready to exit the practice room. Your coach is the first one out. You think youâre at fault for causing stress on him but if only Sunwoo would work with youâlisten, for the matterâthen maybe you two wouldnât be in this mishap.
âHey, you two.â You look at Jacob who calls on you and Sunwoo. âCan you stay behind for a bit?â You glance at Haknyeon and Sakura who observe the interaction briefly. As you both nod, your other teammates have taken their leave.
Now, you stand in front of him with your teammate beside you. A sigh leaves him as he rubs his jaw while a frown rests on his face. You only see Jacob like this when heâs focused on his games, but never when it comes to dealing with issues like what your team (or you and Sunwoo, really) has.
âI know you two donât like each other, and I still donât know why.â You and Sunwoo exchange glances before ignoring each other once more. âBut you understand that you both signed up for VCT, right? That means you will be playing many matches together.â
Youâre aware that agreeing to represent HYST means having to work with Sunwoo. Your reasons for participating are enough to convince you that you handle all the upcoming matches with Sunwooâall adversities will be dealt with. Yet, you couldnât speak for your teammate.Â
âSo, Iâm asking that you guys focus on working together. Iâm not asking you to make up or anything but to still be professional around each other. We still have to win the qualifiers, so no funny business, okay?â
Jacob was right. Your dispute is getting in the way of team dynamics, holding HYST back, and you didnât want to inconvenience your team any further. With that, you nod, begrudgingly accepting Jacobâs request. You can spot Sunwoo nodding along with you in the corner of your eye.
âOkay, thanks. You can both go now.â
When you and Sunwoo leave the practice room, not a single word is exchanged.Â
ROUND 3: âDONâT LOOK SO SMUG, SUNWOO!â
Over the last months, you and your team have spent every waking hour on Valorantâpractice, practice, practice, until you all felt satisfied.
To say you were sick of the game is an understatement, but some of your teammates try to make every minute enjoyable; Haknyeon would goof off some rounds and knife opponents from behind, Jacob would make comments that you never wouldâve imagined leaving his mouth, and Sakura would ask questions about everyone before every round. You take your part in lifting the spirits and making these matches less monotonous by reading stories from the r/AmITheAsshole subreddit.
As for your relationship with Sunwoo, youâve tried to keep it professional. During matches and strategizing phases, you would communicate with each other, exchanging ideas of how to win these games. Outside of those periods, however, were spent ignoring each otherâs existence.
Thankfully, all those months of practicing didnât go to wasteâyour team went against multiple organizations during Qualifiers, and now youâre on the last leg of the event. Only one more win is needed and your team makes it to Challengers.
Now, your team is in the practice room, head-to-head against another team. Itâs 11 to 12 in your teamâs favor on Ascent. Itâs absurd that your opponents made a comeback from 3-9, but youâll blame it on the superstition.
âLetâs play default. Their team tends to push out anyway,â Jacob orders before he takes a sip of water. âIâll play by tiles while Sakura and Haknyeonie can go to A-site. Sunwoo and Y/N, play near B-site. Just make sure to not get caught by their Sovaâs recon dart.â Everyone on your team agrees with Jacobâs plan.
The round commences. Just like what Jacob called out, a recon dart is thrown, but it doesnât catch sight of you and Sunwoo. âSovaâs by B-site,â Sunwoo tells the team.Â
âI hear footsteps by tree,â Sakura starts, and Jacob takes it as his sign to smoke the cubby off. Before you know it, he takes a peek at mid and kills off the enemy teamâs Gekko. Sakura flashes A-site before double-swinging with Haknyeon. âThere are three players by A-site! Go to B-site!â
You and Sunwoo start to make your way through B-site. You walk in front of him, trying to smoke off hall and market. It shouldâve occurred to you how weird it is that Sunwoo trails behind you, but it doesnât, and you choose to enter the site.
The next thing you know, your body flops to the ground, and you let out a groan. As you spectate Sunwoo, he successfully trades you. âSpike down B,â the announcer voices out. Now, itâs a three versus one battle.
âAstraâs with me! Go plant,â Haknyeon calls out, and Sunwoo listens. He plants the spike like a breeze and situates himself in the boathouse.
Jacob tucks himself by mid, waiting for Astra to pass through spawn. âI can catch Astra off-guard while you try to pinch them,â he tells Haknyeon. Within a few seconds, he successfully lands his shots and kills Astra, securing HYST a winâyour team will be participating in Challengers.
Everyone cheers, getting off their seats and huddling into a group hug. âHoly shit, Jacob! That was such a good 3K!â Haknyeon cheers as heâs overfilled with joy.
Your teammate tries to shrug off the compliments. âWe all did good.â
A pair of arms wrap around you and Jacob. âThat was an amazing play!â Younghoon is thrilled by todayâs matches. âWEâRE GOING TO CHALLENGERS!â
Itâs a dream come true; youâll be competing on stage in front of a wider audience against teams who are more capable than youâwho have more experience than youâbut the journey has only started. You wonder what the upcoming months will have in store for you and your teamâwhat will time do for you and Sunwoo?
Youâre the first to break up from the hug, everyone else following along. âIâm going to call Sangyeon over,â your coach announces before making his way out of the practice room.
Then, Haknyeon pulls out his phone. âWait, the guys are blowing up our group chat. Iâll just call them.â
Sunwoo is about to follow his teammates, but you grab hold of his forearm as you hold him back, and he frowns at you. âI need to talk to Sunwoo,â you smile at the other guys who only glance at each other, confused by your actions. Yet, they let the matter go, letting you deal with your business with him.
Sakura grabs your shoulder. âIâm going to call the team. Anything you want me to tell them?â
âIâll tell them myself, itâs okay. You can go.â
With that, it was only you and your teammate.
You let go of his arm and a frown replaces the grin you once showed. âWhat was that during the last round?â As Sunwoo scrunches his eyebrows further, you groan. âYou literally baited me.â
An exasperated sigh leaves him. âGod, itâs not that serious.â
âSunwoo, youâre playing duelist. Youâre supposed to be entering sites for the team.â
âAnd I do!â He glares at you, annoyed by your complaints. âWe still won. Canât you just be happy that we made it to Challengers?â
Thatâs the thing you hate about playing with Sunwoo; if the outcome is good, heâll turn a blind eye to his mistakes. How does he improve as a player if he doesnât acknowledge his faults?
Heâs about to turn away from youâmake his way to his teammates and celebrate todayâs winâbut you grab his hand and pull him close to you. The sudden action almost has him toppling over you, and thankfully, his reflexes are quick enough to make sure you both donât fall.
But the distance between you two is smaller, his eyes wide while yours remain stern. He holds his breath while yours grazes his skin.
Youâve never seen him this wayâcompliant, obedientâand itâs a sight to behold, one youâd like to keep for yourself. If only he were like this to you, then maybe you wouldnâtâno, snap out of it.
âSunwoo.â He gulps at the way you call his name. âIâm your controller, Iâm supposed to stay alive longer to support you.â You hold his gaze. âTry to keep this behavior up during the rest of VCT, I dare you.â
Thereâs malice laced in your tone, an attempt to make him cowerâobeyâover your threat, and you know your job is successful when Sunwoo doesnât try to retort. He has every opportunity to retortârile you up like all other timesâand yet, he remains silent.
With that, you let go of his hand, stepping away to give you both room to breathe. Patches of warmth litter all over your skin, from your neck to your chest. To have Sunwoo look at you like that hasâ
âGuys!â Younghoon comes back rushing into the room with Sangyeon trailing behind him. You catch sight of the smile that rests on your managerâs face, clearly proud of your team. âLetâs look at the list of the teams who made it to Challengers.â
Your coach fiddles with the television remote and opens up the stream. Just in time, youâre able to look through the teams who made it to the next event. As you spot HYST in a sea of esteemed teams, fulfillment bubbles within you.
Yet, you know the battle doesnât end here. RUSH makes the cutâwill your team remain victorious or will it meet its demise?
ROUND 4: âYOUâRE HERE TO TAKE MY KILLS, SUNWOO? LETâS MAKE IT A COMPETITION.â
You were lying when you said you were sick of Valorant. There were other games you could be playing, Minecraft, Overwatch, and Stardew Valley to name a few. Yet, here you are, playing your favorite (read: most hated) game for todayâs stream.
âI wonât lie, Iâm not sure why Iâm playing this game on stream,â you chuckle. âLike, I could be playing something else to save my mental health.â The comments keep coming as you ramble, trying to kill time.
keybladetwo: CONGRATS IN PLAYOFFS!!! GOODLUCK IN CHALLENGERS orangecheeko: HYST TAKEOVER đĽđĽđĽ hungrydinosaur: the 3k bae did last round was INSANE
A flood of compliments comes your way, making you smile. âAwe. Thanks, everyone! I still canât believe Iâll be playing for Challengers, and then thereâll be Masters and Champions.â
reingoaway: how was it like playing with the others :O noxturnal: U and Jacob on the same team must be crazy! Arenât u both IGLs
A hum leaves you as you think over your answers. âItâs fun for the most part,â you admit. âI mean, it took us a while to get used to each otherâs playstyles, but Iâd like to think that the practice paid off.â
You fiddle around with your Valorant collection, changing skins on some firearms. âIâd like to think Jacob and I do pretty well in strategizing in the middle of matches. Sure, we have our fair share of contrasting opinions but we always consider each otherâs ideas.â
Although the time you spend practicing with your team can be tiresome, your teammates try to make every round enjoyable. Itâs thanks to them that youâre able to deal with the weight of VCT for the most part. There is burnout that comes from playing the same game at a pro levelâat least you have most of your teammates to thank for the most part.
tagmeup: Will you play with nuguri? ailguriluver: YEAA u guys go crazy together ashfallen: nuguri & ailurus stream đ
You wouldâve ignored it as you used to with all other streams, but your chat seems to flood the same question; thereâs no escape even in the safety of your own channel. âUh,â you scratch the back of your neck, âI didnât really plan to stream with nuguri.âÂ
nugunuguwho: Heâs on stream right now!
âHe is?â You bite the inside of your cheek as you type out his username on Twitch. His profile shows up, showing that heâs live, and you adjust your stream so that it shows your browser. Now, your audience can see that youâve searched him up.
Once you click his stream, you are greeted with the words âDEFEATâ flashing on the screen. âAish, fuck this game!â On the top left corner of the screen is your teammate, all dressed in a gray hoodie with hair messier than usual, and frames resting on the bridge of his nose. He leans back on his chair, tonguing the inside of his cheek out of frustration from losing a match.
The screen shifts to the match summary, showing that heâs currently 00RR in Ascendant 3. âMan, you would think that people in these ranks would at least understand to comm!â He then showcases his match history andâholy shit, itâs a red carpet. âGuys, itâs not looking good.â
You hide your smile behind the back of your hand. Although you make comments about how terrible of a player Sunwoo is, you wouldâve never imagined him to be on such a horrendous losing streak.
(At the same time, it could be the fault of his teammates, but you werenât going to give him that satisfaction. Heâs an awful player, point blank.)
âAilurus is on my stream?â You are snapped out of your thoughts as he mentions your gamer tag. âHow do you know?â He scrunches his eyebrows as he reads the chat. âTheyâre streaming?â
You rush to close the window and frown at the camera. âI canât believe you guys sold me out!â As you shake your head, you shift your stream back to the game. âI was trying to spy on him! Anyway, Iâm going to queue up because I cannot have Sunwoo ruining my win streak.â
Youâre about to queue into a game, hoping to end the discussion, but your eyes catch sight of a familiar name and you halt your movements.Â
nuguri: r u down to play?
Itâs an internal battleâshould you pretend you didnât see Sunwooâs message or should you fake your relationship with him?
Time ticks. The more you contemplate, the more you realize that you canât play off that you saw his message in a sea of unfamiliar usernames. Youâve dug up your holeâthereâs no turning back now.
âOkay, add my alt account.â Not a single mention of his name, and yet, your audience knows exactly who youâre talking to. The chat is filled with messages of excitement.
A friend request has been sent to you. âIs âsawakoâs bfâ your fucking alt?â Your gaze shifts to the chat, waiting for a message from Sunwoo.
nuguri: check discord
You roll your eyes before accepting his request on Valorant before opening up Discord. Another friend request has come in, andâis that a Smiski as his display picture? Your mouth parts open as you accept his request. Before you can shoot him a message, he calls you, and you donât think twice before picking it up.
âI didnât know you liked Smiskis,â you admit, surprised by the sight of the figurine. The sight of your profile picture, a Smiski from a different series, beside his photo is humorousâwho wouldâve thought that you two would match? âI didnât even know you had another Discord account.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
You shrug. âI mean, you just donât look like the type you know? You reek of âloser e-boy that canât do shitâ energy.â As you hear him gasp, you chuckle.
Perhaps it helped to interact with Sunwoo in front of an audience. You can say diss him if you wanted, boiling it down to banter, and no one would question it.
âFirst off, I have a Discord account for work and another one for just personal use. And second, I am not a fuckass e-boy.â His defensive energy has you rolling your eyes. âHey, I see you rolling your eyes!â
âThe fuck? Get out of my stream,â you say as you glance at the camera. As you go back to Valorant, you see that youâre invited to Sunwooâs party. Once you accept the invite, Sunwoo queues you both up for a Ranked match. âIf we lose, Iâm blaming it on you.â
âHey! Itâs not my fault that I lost all my matches today.â
You bite on the inside of your cheek, holding back your laughter just in case heâs still watching your stream. âOkay, whatever you say. I know you only peaked Immortal 1.â
âImmortal 1 is a good rank! What are you trying to say?â A chuckle leaves him as he says those words, clearly knowing that heâs unfortunately not like you who is currently ranked at Immortal 2.
âI think you just want me to boost you.â
âMatch found,â the announcer voices out. You are greeted by the opening screen of Sunset.
âYeah, sorry. Iâm down on my luck that I need someone to boost me.â Sarcasm is evident in his tone, and you canât help but laugh. The screen then shifts to agent select. âWhatâs good, everyone?â A bad attempt at deep voice leaves Sunwoo as he talks to a team full of strangers.
Youâre thrown back by the sudden tone shift, causing a giggle to leave you. âWhat the fuck was that?!â
âGo! Talk to the team.â You shake your head as if he can see you. (Maybe heâs still watching you, after all.) He hovers over Reyna before telling you, âIt wonât hurt.â
The thing about you is that you would never talk to a team full of strangers, but you donât think twice when you say, âIâm good,â before hovering over Omen.
âThere we go!â He exclaims in your call. You try to hold back your grin.
Unfortunately, the moment doesnât last long. âDidnât you mean to hover over Sage?â A stranger on your team asks.
You frown. âWhat do you mean?â
âBecause youâre a woman.â
You shouldâve seen this comingâthereâs a reason why you donât like to speak in this game.
âJust because Iâm born a woman doesnât mean I need to play that agent. I can play Skye if we need a healer,â you suggest, trying to keep your cool over what the stranger says.
âNah, Skye might be too complex for you.â
Youâre thinking if you should just lock in on Omen or retort, but both choices lead to an outcome where theyâll constantly be on your ass. Before you can make a decision, however, someone speaks.
âHey, let them play whoever they want to play. You can play Sage if you really want,â Sunwoo cuts into the conversation, hoping to diffuse the situation. But when a chuckle leaves the stranger, you know itâs far from reaching that.
âAh, I see how it is. Howâs the head?â
Youâve officially reached your limit, and it seems Sunwoo has reached his as well. âThis shit isnât worth it,â Sunwoo ends the conversation with that. Before you know it, youâre back in the lobby, alone. âSorry, I quit the game. Just give me a second to boot it up.â
As you hear those words, warmth surges within you. You donât like your teammate at all and heâs never given you any reason to treat him with kindness, but just this one action is enough to make you see him in a different lightâis he rotten to the core or have you been blinded this whole time?
Before you know it, he requests to join your party, and you accept the invite. When your eyes catch sight that heâs deranked to Ascendant 2, it hits you that he lost some RR just to avoid playing with the player who was giving you a hard time.
(Would it be bad to hope he did it for you?)
You hop in the queue to find another match.
Itâs quiet for a moment; the mood has been ruined by some stranger on Valorant. Yet, Sunwoo seems to have something under his sleeve, a way to lift your spirit. âWhat if we pick each otherâs agents?â
âThis is a ranked match. You know that, right?â
Sunwoo lets out a groan. âI know that! But think about how fun it would be! We can play each otherâs mains!â
âDo you really want to play Omen or Sova?â The screen then shows youâll be playing on Pearl. âI thought you wanted to win some games.â
âHey, I can definitely play those agents!â You roll your eyes over his words, clearly not believing him. âLetâs make it a competition. Whoever gets placed on top of the leaderboard wins, but you play Raze while I play Omen.â
A hum leaves you as you contemplate his proposal. âWhatâs the prize?â
âWell,â Sunwoo pauses, thinking over what can be done. âWhat if the winner gets their wish granted by the loser?â
âA wish? What type of wish?â
âWell, thatâs for us to determine in our own time.â
You shouldâve said noâwhy would you agree to such a bet with the one guy you canât stand being in a room with? But the problem is that your pride is on the line, and you wanted to prove to Sunwoo that you could do his job better as a duelist.
So, you donât think twice when you say, âAh, fuck it. Letâs do it.â
You shouldâve played Raze earlier on in your esports career. The match passes you like a breeze, entering and clearing sites and shots landing on your opponents every round. You donât remember having this much fun playing Raze for the first time.
But somehow, the universe didnât listen to your wishesâSunwoo sits on the top of the leaderboard while youâre under him.
âFuck! I only needed one assist and I wouldâve beaten you.â As you complain, your teammate laughs.
âAh, I wonder what I should have you do for me.â
You roll your eyes before looking at the time. âGod, itâs that late already? I think Iâm gonna end the stream already.â
âYeah, me too. Iâll be back.â Before you know it, he deafens himself on Discord.
A sigh leaves you before you briefly look through the chat. âSorry guys, Iâm gonna end it early. I still need to pack my suitcase for Challengers next week.â Thereâs a mix of comments, ones that beg you to stay while others that thank you for todayâs stream. âIâll try to stream again before I leave but no promises. Bye, everyone! Hope you enjoy the rest of your days!â
With that, you end the stream. Another good stream out of you despite how short it was.
The most surprising thing to come out of this stream is that you were enjoying your time with Sunwoo. Whether it may be from the later hours of the day or just a front that he was putting up for the audience, you didnât want to think too much of it. Youâll accept it for what it is now.
As you quit out of some of your applications, you look back at Discord to see that heâs back.
For a moment, itâs quiet. Thereâs an internal struggle within youâshould you thank him for what he said earlier or not?
You didnât want to call attention to the issue anymore. Unfortunately, youâve had your fair share of experiences with misogyny throughout your life, and it pained you to say that this wasnât the worst thing youâve heard.Â
But he beats you to it, almost as if he was bothered by the silence, and says, âIâll think about the wish for a bit, just want to think of my options.â
A groan rips out of you. âDonât make me do anything stupid, please.â
He hums for a moment, almost as if he was considering your request, but you know who he is. âNo guarantee! Iâll see you soon.â
Before you can retort, he ends the call. You stare blankly at your screen. If you thought Sunwoo was okay, you were absolutely wrong. Heâs still a shithead.
But when you get in bed, you stare at the ceiling for a moment, and you canât wipe off the grin that rests on your lips.
God, you need to sleep.Â

-> Rating: +18
-> Word count: 2.2k

-> Notes: i've been rewatching the witcher and reading lots of fanfics, i got so in the mood of writing a piece and i hope you enjoy it! <3
Geralt of Rivia rode through the dense, ancient Caed Dhu forest, his silver hair glistening in the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves. He had been on the path for days, following rumors of a dangerous creature that plagued the nearby village.
As he ventured deeper into the woods, he couldn't shake the feeling that this particular hunt would be different.
In the heart of the treacherous Caed Dhu, Geralt of Rivia, the renowned Witcher, found himself in a dire predicament. A contract had led him deep into the ancient woods, where he faced a foe more formidable than any he had encountered before. The beast, a grotesque hybrid of wolf and wyrm, had proven to be a match for Geralt's skill and swordsmanship.
As the moon hung low in the night sky, Geralt's silver sword clanged against the creature's impenetrable scales. The battle had raged for hours, and his strength waned with every strike. Blood oozed from numerous wounds, staining his armor and leather boots. His trademark white hair clung to his sweat-soaked forehead, and his golden eyes burned with determination.
But in a moment of miscalculation, the beast lunged forward, its jaws snapping shut around Geralt's forearm. Pain seared through his body as his bones cracked, and he let out a roar of agony. With a swift, desperate maneuver, he wrenched his arm free, leaving shreds of flesh in the creature's maw.
Battered and bloodied, Geralt knew he was outmatched. With a heavy heart and aching limbs, he made a fateful decision. He turned and sprinted through the darkened forest, leaving behind the monster he could not defeat. His every step sent waves of agony through his injured arm, but he pushed himself to the limit.
As he escaped, he couldn't help but reflect on his countless battles, his victories, and his unshakable resolve. Yet, this time, survival took precedence over valor. The Caed Dhu closed in around him, a labyrinth of twisted trees and shadowy threats. Geralt, the fearless Witcher, ran for his life, vowing to return to face the beast another day, once he had healed and prepared for the inevitable rematch.
Deep within the heart of the dense and mysterious Caed Dhu, Geralt of Rivia stumbled upon an unexpected sanctuary. The cabin's solitude was a haven for a Witcher in need, a sanctuary where he could mend his battered body and prepare for the inevitable return to the treacherous wilderness.
The cabin stood as a solitary sentinel in the depths of the forest, its timeworn facade hidden beneath a canopy of thick foliage. With aching limbs and a resolve unyielding as steel, Geralt pushed open the creaking door and stepped into the dimly lit interior.
Inside, the air was heavy with the scent of herbs and alchemical concoctions. The flickering candlelight revealed a modest yet well-equipped witch's lair. Shelves lined with vials of potions and bundles of dried herbs stretched to the ceiling. A cauldron simmered with a mysterious brew, its aroma tinged with both magic and healing properties.
He needed rest and healing. Inside the cabin, a fire crackled in the hearth, casting a warm glow across the room. The scent of herbs and potions filled the air, a telltale sign of a fellow witch's presence. He knew he wasn't alone.
From the shadows, your hooded figure emerged, revealing the gentle features of a young witch. You had been tracking his progress and had prepared the cabin for his arrival.
He got a closer look of you, which allowed him to see the medallion of the Viper, which matched your dark green eyes, that were glistening under the candle's light. You were, definitely, one of the few Witches left after the Trials that erased most of them from the surface of Earth.
Without a word, you approached Geralt and began to help him remove his clothes, your touch gentle yet firm. As the clothing fell away, his battle-worn body was exposed, covered in cuts and bruises. He hissed in pain as you examined his wounds.
"I'll take care of you, Geralt," you murmured softly, your voice soothing. You mixed herbs and applied salves, tending to each injury with practiced care. Your fingers moved with a grace born of years of training.
Geralt watched you work, silently grateful for your presence. The pain began to ebb away as your healing magic flowed through him, knitting his flesh together.
Once the wounds were tended to, you stepped back, your eyes meeting his yellowish ones with a warmth that belied the harsh world they inhabited.
"Rest now," you said, guiding him to a nearby bed. "You've earned it."
As he lay down, his body slowly relaxing, Geralt couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the kindred spirit who had tended to his wounds. In a world filled with darkness and danger, he had found a glimmer of light and solace in your healing touch.
Also, your touch brought up a slow burning fire within him, making him feeling the need in his body to bring you closer, to lick you, to taste you. He needed to show gratefulness by giving pleasure to you after healing him with such care and knowledge... as if you knew exactly how his body reacted to each one of the remedies you were using. That made the White Wolf groan in approval.
He couldn't help but grab your wrist before you stepped back, not applying so much pressure to hurt you, but enough strength to keep you where you stood. Your breath hitched in the back of your throat, making you stare back at his intense stare.
He started slowly and gently rubbing your inner wrist, where your pulse was accelerated, with his thumb calming it, you, without words, and no further movements needed.
"You're safe, Geralt. You made it home. Let me go, and you rest." You whispered, not wanting to break the calm and enchanted ambience. You don't know how you managed to sound firm, calm, steady and confident, but your tone left no doubts.
He kept staring at you, his jaw tense while the candles in the cabin lightened his skin, and you couldn't help but break eye contact and admire his body. His injured body. But, also, his fit figure.
Suddenly, Geralt pulled you into him without effort, and a groan escaped from him, low and deep. Something that made your body really happy, but you knew you couldn't risk hurting him more than he already was. You needed him fully recovered.
"If you want to keep that hand and arm, I'd suggest you let go." You had no choice but to warn him.
"I can smell you, Witch." He simply replied, his voice low and raspy, while not letting you go. You swallowed the lump in your throat, as you smelled his arousal, too. There was no possible denial in what was going around between you two, in that cabin, as the darkness of the night and the moonlit mixed with the candles surrounding you both.
With his other hand, he grabbed the Viper medallion hanging from your neck, pulling your face closer to his while keeping his firm stare at you. You could even notice the smallest of the dilation of his pupils in that position.
"After taking care of me, let me take care of your needs, witch." Geralt whispered. You knew fighting him was useless, and you couldn't deny the way your body was craving him, either. He tilted his body, not giving a flying fuck about his fresh wounds.
You stared down at his lips, and back to his eyes. He grinned a little before grabbing your medallion and pulling you close until both of your lips were a wet mess against each other, not even letting the air pass between you two.
You moaned against his lips, your groans and whines making him feel rougher and animalistic each passing second. His hands were everywhere on your body, not allowing even one millimeter of skin escape from his touch.
No previous warning, he ripped your dress from behind and continued tearing off your undergarments. You were speechless as you could only feel him. You tried touching him, but he didnât allow that. He had you naked in front of him in a matter of seconds.
Furthermore, you looked into his eyes, waiting for his next move. "Geralt-" You were anxious for more of what he had to offer.
"You're exquisite, aren't you, witch?" He was appreciative of your exposed body in front of him, meanwhile using your condition as a pet name, which didn't annoy you at all.
He took your silence as an invitation to switch positions, grabbing you by a fistful by your long hair, having you bent over the same surface he was laying on not long ago.
Geralt directed his right hand to your pussy, moving his fingers between your folds while humming appreciatively at your wetness. The sounds filling the room, and the sights you had thanks to the little mirror that wasn't too far away on the wall in front of you, were too much to handle. It didn't take long for your thighs to begin to shake, and the White Wolf knew it too.
His hand, which was teasing you, was now wrapped around your small neck, pushing you down, taking out his digits, spreading you apart with his large girth, and slamming into your cunt.
As you wrapped your small hand around his, he tightened his hold on your neck, taking your gesture as an invitation to be rougher.
He tilted his body on top of your back, replacing the hold of his hand on your neck with his teeth burying in the delicate spot of your skin, as he kept slamming into your wetness, and you could feel his medallion swinging over you as his movement fastened, and his cock was buried deep, still pounding, into you.
"Ah, fuck, Geralt." You mumbled, not being able to keep your eyes out of the reflection in the mirror. The candles lightning his sweated skin, you underneath him as he dominated you on that unstable surface and his aura surrounding your senses.
Your hips began to move on his, as you needed that sweet relief. Geralt's bite on your neck became harder and you could feel and smell a bit of blood running down your skin, which heated up both of you even more, if possible.
His groans were louder against you, the slamming of his cock inside of you more frenetic and he dug his nails into the sides of your hips to keep you steady. He let go of your neck to press his mouth on your shoulder. "You're so fucking tight and behaving like a good girl," he moaned. "Keep milking me, witch, so I can breed you and fill you up with my cum until it oozes out."
The way he was talking to you, saying those things, had you closer to the edge. You needed to feel his cock pulsate inside of you, stretching you out and getting you full of him. Your moans were unstoppable as nonsense dripped out of your mouth.
"I wanna see those pretty thighs of yours covered with my cum." Geralt wrapped an arm around your waist to hold you in place as he circled your nipple with his thumb and index, pinching it.
âYes, Geralt, yes." Your mind was blank, dazzled with lust and desire, almost making you forget your own name.
Your thighs began to shake, and he felt them, âYes, witch, come all over my cock.â His encouraging, husky voice praised you. You called out the White Wolf's name, your orgasm hitting hard and uncontrollably, your head dizzy as you saw stars and lights in your vision.
You felt Geralt exploding inside of you, with a few more snaps of his hips against your ass you felt his girth tighten up, and a few more spurts of his cum filling you up as you rode off your orgasm.
"Fuck, you milked me so good, you emptied me, didn't you?" He moaned and grunted again as he felt your pussy tightening lightly on him. "What kind of witchcraft did you use on me, huh?"
He let go of your breast, not moving his position so you were still under his dominant figure while his cock rested inside of you, feeling your thighs sticky of his cum and other mix of fluids.
"Well, you loved the way I was curing you earlier and the attention I gave you, didn't you, Witcher?"
"I'm not one to turn down a healing session when I'm offered one." Geralt whispered in your ear, still not getting off you. "But what's the catch?"
You smiled, feeling chills down your spine. "The catch is, I get to pamper every inch of you and make sure you're completely healed."
"I think I can handle that kind of catch."
Did you enjoy it? Please, consider leaving a comment, reblogging, sending feedback in any way or buying me a coffee. If you would like to request something, go and message me. Also, if you'd like, you can check my masterlist or send me any prompts. Happy reading!

esports player!kim sunwoo x esports player!reader
your official guide to âthe perfect pairâ universe, from gaming lingo all the way to vct timeline
parts ⾠check out the series masterlist
taglist âľ @winterchimez @miusgirl @jenoscafe @sweet-unicorn-world @vernyangel @mosviqu @tbzhub @stealanity @wooluv09 @deobi0412 @untilsunset @hiefisch @blue-rainydays @maessseongs @wonuroyal @sunkitti
a/n âľ i understand that not everyone may be familiar with gamer lingo or how vct works, hence, why i made this post in the first place! i hope this can guide you as you read the story! for any questions, feel free to let me know! thank you again to @shegotthewoobies @vernyangel @sizzlingdino for your help :') it was so hard having to explain these terms. please expect the first chapter to drop in a few days
WHAT IS VALORANT
VALORANT is a 5v5 competitive first-person shooter game developed by Riot Games. The main goal of the game is to plant or defuse the spike (depending on what side youâre playing on). There are four different roles in this game where the agents are categorized into:
Duelists: Known as the primary attackers, they are expected to help enter and clear sites.
Initiators: These agents help push back enemies and clear sites through their abilities.
Sentinels: Experts in holding sites, they help in building a defense against opponents and handle any flanks.
Controllers: Their abilities help in adjusting the battlefield by smoking out opponents.
These are the ranks in order. Iron 1 is the lowest, and you slowly progress through it by going to Iron 2 then Iron 3 then Bronze 1, and so on. The highest rank is Radiant. Depending on how you play in your ranked matches, you will obtain or lose RR.
WHAT IS VCT?
It's the abbreviated form of âValorant Champions Tourâ which is an esports tournament hosted by Riot Games. Thereâs a series of events that eventually accumulate to the main event which is Champions. These events act as a way to shortlist teams until the main event. In this storyâs universe, this is the flow of events:
Qualifiers:Â Around 100+ teams compete around this period
Playoffs: Around 50+ teams compete in this period.
Challengers: Around 20-30 teams compete. The teams are divided by regions and must battle through a bracket system.
Masters: Around 16-18 teams compete against each other. The regions are now mixed.
Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ): Around 10 teams compete to garner a place in the main event. These are for the teams who didn't place high enough to get a ticket to Champions.
Champions: Around 16 teams compete against each other, both from winners of Masters and LCQ, to determine who brings home the Champions Cup.
WHAT IS GAME CHANGERS?
Game Changers is an event where women, nonbinary players, and other gender-marginalized groups compete. Itâs an initiative to provide a platform of recognition to these players.
In this storyâs universe, Game Changers is the first official tournament to start the yearâs VCT.
VALORANT/GAMER LINGO
Here is a list of terms you may need to familiarize yourself with. When it comes to maps and actual matches being described, please refer to the gifs and/or images attached.
Ace: Typically, this means a good player. However, when a player kills off the whole opponent team, they get recognized as an ace
Bait/Baiting: When you use a teammate as âbaitâ in order for the enemy to put their focus on them
Boost/Boosted: The accusation of being brought to a higher rank with the help of someone with a better skill set. Itâs typically thrown at women
Botfrag: The player at the bottom of the leaderboard
Care [Insert skill/weapon/agent]: Reminding your teammates to be aware of something that could affect the outcome of the round
Default: A strategy in which you try to gather information about your opponent by baiting their abilities as a way to gain map control. It is important to do when your typical 5-man pushes don't work out
Double swing: Two players peek together, often to put pressure on the opponent, and get a pick/force a trade
Fill: A player that adjusts to the agent lineup
Flank: Those who essentially try to attack the enemies from behind, aiming to pinch at them or attack them from behind
Jiggle peek/jump spot: Cautiously peeking without exposing yourself fully
Lineups/Lineup Larry: Someone who is able to accurately position/throw/shoot their abilities to designated places that may prevent opponents from defusing the spike or gathering information
One tap/140: Essentially means that the opponent has low health. When using a Phantom, a type of rifle, it deals 140 damage
Pick: You got a kill, basically
Retake: All active defenders will fall back/regroup outside of an attacker-controlled site and push in strategically in order to regain control of site
Stack: When most players play together on a site in hopes of surprising the opponents
Tapping the spike: Fake defuse to make the enemy team think youâre on the spike
Throwing/threw: Someone who is accidentally or purposely doing bad plays during a round or the whole game
Topfrag: The player at the top of the leaderboard
Trade: When your teammate dies, you get a pick on an enemy
Wall bang/Wall bangable: In the game, certain walls can be pierced through with bullets, and can be used to shoot players even through walls
Whiff: When someone misses their shots badly
For those who want to know the game better, you may refer to the following links along with the graphics:
