The mood just heavy. I look window, change topic.

"Top Squad backer na entertainment company, abi?"

"Yes, Top Squad boss Ganiyu na CEO of PeakVibe Entertainment. Last year, dem put big money for e-sports."

I drop my head. This half month, gist about Seyi Akanji and Rukayat Yusuf dey trend steady. Top Squad dey use dem hype, dey push Rukayat Yusuf as first female pro for league.

"Autumn split dey next month."

"Jide, abeg, you go lead starting lineup for now."

"No wahala."

"But team still dey blend. If result no too good this split, no expect too much."

Jide just look me, meaning dey for him eye. I know—everything get e own time.
