The first team they were up against was EmpireSlayer, a newer team without much reputation. Micah queued in with Archie for the duo knockout round, palms sweating slightly as the match countdown ticked.

From the start, Archie directed the match with precision, his Jax diving into jungle camps with aggression. Micah trailed just behind, focusing on vision control and peeling when needed. His movements were stiff at first, cautious, trying not to make any mistakes.
He was sure all eyes were on his account. He could imagine the broadcasting and fans talking about who he was, appearing out of the blue. And if they knew the bet, it was probably worse, watching him like a hawk, waiting for him to mess up, having a reason to diss him.
