The day continued with Max playing the third to fifth game of the day. While he concentrated, his viewers were pretty much commenting on the chat.
Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with the first game's teammates.
— The first game was ridiculous. The MMR in this game is also strange
— Those teammates deserve to be reported. How greedy are they?!
— How greedy. This is why Midnight Heist's event planner should do better! Why did they make everyone able to participate?
— Breeze's reactions are understandable. They are selfish, greedy b4st4rds. I would punch them if I were him.
— True. Breeze's patience is worth applause and praise. How could he handle those fckers without getting mad?
— I will remember their names and note them in my HIT LIST. If I play with them, I will report their dirty 4ss one by one.
Everyone hated Max's teammates. They kept expressing their thoughts until Max did something unbelievable, at least in Tier 2 gameplay. He stole the target by using those teammates as bait.
Then, with skillful movement by using his mask and shoes' abilities, he managed to escape alone. He also had time to taunt the police by raising his middle finger.
— Holy!
— Lololol, screw them!
— Breeze: My teammates are stupid? Well, let them be bait. At least I am smart and a pro!
— The way he dodged those bullets was beautiful lol. Was his training in Roach Planet paid off?
— Not today, MF! What a satisfying line
[FreakingNoob has donated 500 diamonds!]
[He has gone so far... I am proud of him *sniff*]
— lololol, look at those losers' expressions. They couldn't believe what happened. 1 vs 5 kekw
— 85 Tournament Points for all of that? I don't know how high that is, but I shall research.
Following a satisfying win, the viewers began to find out more about the tournament points, which was still a mystery for all of them. The forum was also still filled with questions regarding the points. There was not enough information on whether 85 was high or low.
Not many people shared their points either. Right now, in a research thread of the Tier 2 tournament, only four points were written. All of them were from streamers with many viewers.
Breeze: +85 (MVP, Thief escape)
Vshu: +78 (SVP, Thief caught)
Mo3s: +25 (Win, Police)
DikHart: +92 (Win, Police)
From the data, MVP didn't affect MMR at all. And the points distribution was strange.
Midnight Heist's fans and players scratched their heads in confusion before settling into an agreement. They needed more data. And thus, most streamers' second game started at that time... Or rather, 5-minute ago since there was a delay. This was a good chance to compare the data.
The focus would be on the four streamers whose data had been shared.
When Max spoke at the same time as his teammates, the viewers burst into laughter.
— Oh? His teammates seem to experience the same thing as him
— True.
— Poor them
— lolol, this tournament is fcked. I hope the management sees this and question their decision.
Everyone was confused.
Unlike the first 3 games, Max unexpectedly didn't try to win. He got a thief role, and three of his teammates were greedy people who wanted to steal the target without working together to get a high MMR.
Surprisingly, he didn't say bad words to them and only communicated normally while finding a good escape route. The map was an underground cave. It was an easy map for a thief because there were many hiding spots.
Communication was important in this map, and Max took that role while hiding in plain sight. When police were getting close to his teammates, he would warn them and create a distraction by throwing a rock.
It happened many times until one thief managed to steal the target. Naturally, that person was chased. The two thieves wanted to get the target for themselves and actually got caught. Only three thieves were left, including him.
Seeing the teammate who held the target almost get caught, Max used his mask ability and got himself between the thief and the police, spreading his arms. Many bullets hit his body, paralyzing him. He had become a meat shield for his team.
"Run!" He shouted loudly to his teammate, and the person nodded while laughing.
"Hahaha! Why are you so stupid!" He said as he jumped onto the boat, where the other teammate had been waiting.
They successfully escaped, and three thieves, including Max, became victims.
— That b4stard! Breeze saved him, but he called him stupid!
— nipLESS, I will remember him
— That laugh was irritating! Why did you protect such a guy, Breeze?
— You could've stolen the target and escaped by yourself
Frustrated, the viewers began to question Max's actions. Strangely, their favorite streamer was grinning all the time, making them more confused.
"Hehehe."
A strange laugh escaped Max's mouth as the notifications came. He moved the camera and let the viewers see the points he gained better.
+169
Instantly, the chat was filled with ???.
No one understood what happened.
— What the heck
— 169?!
— Didn't he get caught? How could he get 169 points?!
— BREEZE IS HACKING! HE CRACKED THE CODE!
— My math isn't mathing. MVP gave 85 and getting caught gave him 169 points?! How the heck is this fair?!
— Midnight Heist, explain!
— Breeze, explain or I will slap Huh Ah Knight 10 times!
As if knowing their reactions beforehand, Max raised his head and faced the camera.
"I know you must be confused, but I can't explain it myself. If my fifth game gives me the same or similar points, I will explain what I found. See you!"
With those words, he started the fifth game. This time, his role was police. The game ended with his team losing. The thieves were able to escape.
However...
+182
He gained the highest points from all the games he played today, totaling 665 combined points in the end.
Now, he could only hope that points would allow him to advance to the next qualifier.
