Chapter 340 

There appeared to be a lot going on between Jacob and Calvin. 

Calvin’s remarks on the Internet sparked strong negative public sentiment toward Jacob. 

Oneida didn’t know when Jacob was going to fight back. 

But Jacob seemed to really want to win. 

Although Calvin had caused him trouble, finding a replacement was his priority to keep the team qualified for the competition. 

Jacob was better than Calvin who was vindictive and ignored the overall situation. 

Oneida lowered her eyes, thinking about the replacement. 

Meanwhile, KnightGuard released a formal statement on its official Twitter account. 

The statement said that the team now only consisted of four players and that the competition organizer had warned them that they would be immediately disqualified and eliminated if they couldn’t assemble five players before the game began. It didn’t mention Calvin or Jacob. 

Therefore, Knight Guard now needed to look for a replacement soon. 

Under Global Clash Championships regulations, an emergency substitute might be used in place of a team that was shorthanded due to a force majeure event. 

However, a substitute couldn’t be a professional contestant. 

After all, it would be extremely unfair for the other teams to fill the vacancy with a good professional contestant. 

So, this meant that only an ordinary player or amateur could fill the position. 

At the end of their statement, they advised high–ranked players without professional experience to get in touch with them [Perhaps you’ll be the Global Clash Championships‘ next champion.] 

The moment this statement was released, the Internet went crazy again. 

Many fans began to cry and whine because they knew what it meant. 

[They want an amateur player to join them? Isn’t it equal to giving up? How about four members against five?] 

[Even a high–ranked player is definitely no match for a professional contestant who trains every day. What’s the use of finding a replacement?] 

[This rule is too cruel!] 

[They will start off with one member inferior?] 

[I know the team with more professional contestants will win. Get real. The team won’t 

go 

far.] 

[It’s better to quit the competition. I feel hopeless.] 

However, many advanced players were very excited because this was their chance! 

It was hard to be a professional contestant and even harder to qualify for the Global Clash Championships!

Chapter 340 

Now that a low–hanging Perunity was at hand, they were certainly thrilled. 

Many players messaged them via the official Twitter account of KnightGuard. 

At this time. 

The rival of Knight Guard, team Lenglorie from Aoland, was so happy that they wanted to open champagne to celebrate.. 

After all, they had no chance of defeating KnightGuard. 

Knight Guard was a former world champion, and super genius Jacob was on their team! 

The chance of defeating KnightGuard was slim. 

Who would have thought that Calvin would suddenly withdraw from the game and KnightGuard must find a common player to replace him? 

Wasn’t this a big gift for the opening game?! 

Lengloric was certain they would win. 

They really should retire on the spot if they couldn’t even beat KnightGuard, who would bring in an amateur player! 

It would also be demoralizing for the other professional KnightGuard contestants. This would be their perfect opportunity! Now Lengloric was full of confidence. Their official Twitter account even posted a sarcastic tweet: [Feels like we can start thinking about our next opponent!] 

It was evident that Lengloric didn’t take KnightGuard seriously, but they had already assumed that KnightGuard would lose and they would move on to the next round! 

Fans of Lengloric were ecstatic, but those of KnightGuard remained silent. 

They would consider it successful if KnightGuard could win a round. 

Jacob alone wouldn’t be able to turn the tide. And other contestants might have lost confidence. It would be torture for them to have an amateur player join them to compete! 

Many fans were angry at Lengloric’s mocking. 

They couldn’t swallow it. 

KnightGuard was the only team from Hestrya to join this competition and the fans wanted the team to win. 

Now Lengloric from Aoland ridiculed KnightGuard and might even defeat Knight Guard later. 

The fans felt offended. 

Many fans were so angry that they could only vent their anger on the Internet. 

Oneida also noticed this. 

She kept scrolling through her phone and frowned. 

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and just exited Twitter. 

Oneida lowered her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of gloom in her eyes.

Chapter 340 

Meanwhile, it was dead silent in the training room of KnightGuard. 

Not sure what to do, a few team members sat in their chairs with vacant stares. 

They couldn’t even practice with just four of them remaining. 

Only Jacob was seated in front of the 

miputer, skillfully using the mouse to practice. 

His face was filled with calmness. 

indifference. 

His eyes were gloomy. No one knew what was on his mind. 

“I have good news for you!” Jake emerged from the doorway abruptly, clearly excited. 

Jake walked into the training room, glanced at them, and said with a smile, “We found a substitute.” 

The team did not respond to him. 

And their expression remained unchanged. 

They didn’t understand why Jake was so excited. 

So what if they could get a replacement? 

Ordinary players couldn’t compare to professionals. 

The team could compete now with five members. 

But they would be defeated. 

Jacob was still immersed in his practice. He didn’t turn his head, and his expression remained unchanged as if he didn’t hear Jake. 

don’t 

Seeing that they were all indifferent, Jake couldn’t help but be anxious. “What’s wrong? You all look dejected. This player specially sent us a video of her operation. It’s really impressive and amazing. You can check it out yourselves if you believe me!” 

They were still indifferent after hearing that. 

They thought Jake was exaggerating. 

How come an ordinary player didn’t turn pro if she was that good? 

Jake ignored them and shouted at the door, “Come in!” 

As soon as he finished his words, a sound of footsteps came from the door. 

Everyone then saw a slender figure walking toward them. 

The girl’s long black and beautiful hair was tied into a ponytail. 

Her skin was fair and her facial features were delicate. She looked very bright, pure, and beautiful with tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes. 

Jacob heard the noise and finally turned his head unconsciously
