Description:

The web pages flashed under Ajax’s eyelids. The BRG World Tournament was this week. The quarterfinals for duos in Starcraft were during his shift and he was taking peeks. Back in the 2040s, eSports had more viewers than football. Now, over twenty years later, the BRG World Tournament was huge. People were guessing that it might have more viewers than the Olympic games would in a few months. Ajax opened his eyes to check his counter. He was at the help desk in the back by the doors and windows. His checkered blue and orange apron sported the paint splattered name Lowes-Depot. Retail was almost dead, but hardware and home improvement materials were too heavy to mail via drone and all the contractors liked to come pick things out in person. Even then, by how unvisited Ajax had been this shift, he was surprised the store was still in business. Closing his eyes, he went back to the viewing screens of his iLids. The commentator was going back and forth between the Korean team, two skinny guys with edgy haircuts that Ajax could never pull off, and the American team, StarCrasher and MissyQ. Ajax had seen StarCrasher. He was one of the top players in the US and without a doubt should have been there. However, MissyQ was more known for MMOs; she felt more like a stunt piece to draw attention. Not that he would ever voice anything against MissyQ. She was the number one Gamer Girl and she had so many fanboys out there. Ajax was sure one would hear him and rally a horde of her adoring fans to oust him. He had spent more time than he truly cared to admit watching her videos. She was pretty good, and if he wanted to watch someone’s stream, why not hers? Attractive was an understatement when it came to MissyQ. Duration - 7h 40m. Author - Jack Walker. Narrator - Jack Walker. Published Date - Sunday, 28 January 2024. Copyright - © 2024 Ashley Dull ©.
