"Maeve, I need you to save us."
Fourth floor of the Expo Science Park, inside Team MRX's locker room.
Silas Thorne laid out a freshly pressed team jersey in front of Maeve Vance.
"If you don't step in and help me, MRX is guaranteed to lose today."
Maeve crossed her arms, completely ignoring the uniform Silas was offering.
"Silas, this is way too sudden."
"First of all, I'm not a member of Team MRX. It's not appropriate for me to represent you."
"Besides, I haven't touched the game in ages. I don't know your team's synergy or strategies."
"Even if you force me onto the stage, I'd just be a warm body making up the numbers. Don't you think this is a bit of a joke?"
Silas shoved the jersey into her hands anyway.
"Who says you aren't a member of Team MRX?"
"Go check the official roster on our website. Your name is listed right at the very top."
"Don't forget, you're the one who named MRX in the first place."
This all tied back to how Silas and Maeve had first met.
Back then, Silas was younger and had no concept of forming a professional esports team.
He just genuinely loved gaming.
In his spare time, he put together an amateur squad with a handful of like-minded friends.
Their greatest joy every day was using their top-tier skills to absolutely slaughter their opponents and dominate the servers.
As the team's reputation grew, so did Silas's popularity in the gaming community.
Because he possessed incredible macro-awareness and used wildly unpredictable tactics, he was a force to be reckoned with.
For a very long time, he was practically invincible.
Even professional teams struggled to secure a win against his squad.
That was until BDR showed up and brought his winning streak to a grinding halt.
Who was BDR? Maeve, of course.
At the time, Silas had no idea who she really was.
He only knew that the player hiding behind the BDR tag was an absolute monster in the arena.
"Monster" was truly the only word that fit.
In the matches they played against each other, Silas was ruthlessly decimated every single time.
