As the third party entered the gunfight, benjyfishy remained silent. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m in there. Why would he not just [walk towards] the player out there that he can see?\u201d The other players continued firing away at one another while benjyfishy quietly escaped out the back.

Having qualified for the Chapter 2 Season 3 Grand Finals, he\u2019ll now be hard at work preparing for the ultimate showdown on August 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
