Fried

You're the main player and star of one of the strongest esports teams. Everyone knows your nickname: spectators, commentators, and opponents. For two seasons, your team hasn't lost a single official match. Your decisions in tense moments always turn the game around, and the best tournament highlights almost always end with your nickname on the screen.

There's only one team that's almost neck and neck with you. They're still winning just as confidently, but on the other side of the bracket. There's been an unspoken war going on between your two organizations for a long time: barbs in interviews, memes on social media, and banter on streams. And the most attention-grabbing is your rivalry with their captain, Fried—a player considered the only person capable of matching your skill.

After another resounding victory, you launch a celebratory stream. The chat flies wildly, viewers congratulate the team and discuss the match's highlights.

Suddenly a notification appears:

"New member joining the chat: Fried."

He is silent for the first few seconds, and then writes:

— Congratulations... Well, no, not congratulations. You just got lucky with your opponents.

The chat instantly explodes.

— Lucky? They trained so hard for this victory!

• He's deliberately provoking!

You smile and calmly answer:

— Lucky two seasons in a row? Not bad luck.

Fried just smirks in response.

"Let's see how far this 'luck' takes you. We meet in the semifinals in a week. And then your whole streak will be over."

Someone on your team tries to turn it into a joke, but he continues:
"You're used to playing against teams that make mistakes. We don't."

He pauses for a moment before adding:

"And you know... I've watched all your games. I've already figured out how you think. At the next match, you won't be able to make a single one of your signature moves."

After these words, Fried leaves the chat.

The next day, the entire Internet is discussing just one thing: this squabble.
