But since Violeta and the others were still playing a match, Hayden decided to start a ranked game independently.
As he played more, Hayden found himself getting more and more comfortable. Initially, he didn't know how to play, but the online tutorials were very detailed.
With quick thinking and skilful use of abilities, Hayden could accurately scout and protect the AD carry, ensuring they didn't die a single time.
However, he found the support role not very interesting, so he chose a different position for the second match.
Two hours later, a servant came in carrying several drinks just as Violeta and the others finished a game.
Zoren stretched lazily. "Let's take a break for a while. It's been a long time, and we're tired from playing."
He picked up his drink and glanced in Hayden's direction, noticing that Hayden's screen was still in-game. Zoren got up and said, "Hade, you're still practising. How's it going? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
But as Zoren approached and took a closer look, he realised that Hayden wasn't in the training camp but was playing a real game.
"Wow!
"You're already playing real matches? Is this a normal match or ranked?"
Hayden didn't answer him. He was in a team fight and secured a quadra kill.
Zoren watched Hayden secure the quadra kill and was extremely shocked!
"Hey, come over and see this! Hade just got a quadra kill! We're pushing to the enemy high ground and the crystal."
They all stood up and walked behind Hayden to watch the computer screen.
They looked, and indeed, it was a quadra kill.
"D*mn, Hade, you're amazing! When did you practice this? We had no idea."
"Wait, weren't you playing support? Wow, you're playing marksman!"
Hayden originally started practising as a support, but unexpectedly, he began playing as a marksman as he continued playing.
'Victory!'
Hayden stretched and took off his headphones. "Support is not fun. I don't want to play support."
Zoren interjected, "Well, how about this? We've just decided, and support is the only role left for you."
Hayden narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are you going to play?"
Zoren replied, "Mid-lane, of course."
Hayden continued asking, "Who's playing marksman?"
Jasper answered, "It's me."
Hayden said, "Then Jasper goes mid-lane, I'll play marksman, and you take support."
Zoren paused for a moment, then said, "No, Hade, you can't just swap roles like that. I'm not playing support. You can't break the rules of the game. We already decided earlier. How can you do this? I don't care! I'm not playing support."
Hayden asked, "Do you have the final say?"
Zoren paused for a moment, then turned to look at Violeta sitting in the chair.
"Vio, who do you think should play support?"
Holding a cup, Violeta turned at the sound and said, "I don't care how you've decided. I'm playing jungle."
Alright, Violeta didn't care.
In that case, Hayden made the decision.
