To climb the ranks at the end of the season, I hooked up with a gaming pro. For half a month, I kept yelling, "Brother, you're amazing!" After sneaking up to Ace, I promptly deleted and blocked him. Later, I duo-queued with my cousin. In the final circle, he got headshot, and I cowered in the bushes, trembling. "New brother?" A cold, sneer came through the headset. "The one hiding in the bush, your taste in men is worse than your aim." It was the last half month of the season. I was stuck at Crown, frantically scratching my head. I messaged my cousin, my gaming partner. "Sis, final exams, don't mention it." I pouted, deciding to do it myself.
