hypersoft collab fest

In Paris, former 2x major winner and now Alpine Esports in-game leader Fernando Alonso barely qualifies for the 2023 BWT Premier Paris Major alongside his teammates: upcoming rifler Jack Doohan, lurker Oscar Piastri, longtime French rifler Pierre Gasly, and AWPer Esteban Ocon. The team celebrate their victory until Fernando is called to leave for a meeting with Oliver Oakes, the CEO of Alpine Esports.  Once Fernando leaves, Pierre and Esteban blame each other for the shortcomings during the matches. Meanwhile, Oliver informs Fernando that if the team does not achieve any results at this major, he will be dropping the entire roster citing that he believes that Fernando is no longer the strong player he once was.  Now motivated to keep the roster together and prove Oliver wrong, Fernando vows to create a plan to win it all.

Fernando tells the rest of the team about the news, causing worry amongst the team.  Fernando assures the team that he’s got a plan in mind and that they need to be ready for anything.  

Later, when the team gets to the major, Fernando splits two hotel rooms between them. Esteban and Pierre are left with a room with a single bed.  Pierre forces Esteban to sleep on the floor and though the duo complain, Fernando ignores them.

The team qualifies to the Champions’ Stage through victories in the Legends and Challengers stage. During the last match, they narrowly win the map in a similar manner to the beginning of the film and Esteban and Pierre are once again seen arguing backstage about who is at fault for a difficult end. Fernando forces them to hug it out for seconds on end.  On the other side rivals Team Heikkenin speak negatively about Fernando, citing their shock a “washed player and B-tier team could even make it this far”. Though Fernando doesn't say it outright, Jack and Oscar observe that he has his sights on defeating Team Heikkenin.

Skipping to the victory after the quarter finals, Esteban once more tries to plead with Jack to swap rooms, convinced Pierre would share the bed with Jack.  Jack in confusion admits that the trio has a hotel room with two beds and a couch; each of them swapping who sleeps on the couch each night.  Furious at this revelation, the entire team finally confronts Fernando on his plan which he calls “El Plan”.  El Plan so far has consisted of smaller acts of mind games but Fernando reveals his greater plan: for Pierre and Esteban to pretend to be a gay couple in order to psyche out Team Heikkenin, which has been making homophobic jabs on social media and he believes will make it to the finals. He states he's been planting small subtle hints beginning with the hotel rooms and hugs. Despite Pierre and Esteban’s protests, Fernando is unwavering with El Plan.  His refusal upsets the duo but they concede as this is their only opportunity to win the major.

The team celebrates with the audience of winning their semi-final maps with various teams (including Team Heikkenen) in attendance. The announcer comes over to ask for Esteban's reaction, how he's feeling. Esteban gives a usual answer as the crowd watches. With the approval glance from Fernando, Esteban tells everyone that he's excited to play the finals with Pierre, who he claims is the love of his life, causing the entire audience to riot. Shocked by the revelation, Team Heikkenen leave. Team Heikkenen debate whether Fernando is attempting to play psychological games with them but the IGL dismisses it assuming Fernando would never go that low.  Later, Fernando gets a call from Oliver with the news being divided and with skepticism.  Fernando assures him that everything is fine and that the final act of El Plan will be set into motion. 

As the final game ceremony begins, Alpine Esports walk on stage with pride flags and rainbow jerseys as Esteban and Pierre walk onto the stage holding hands. Fernando before the final claims himself to be an ally to Pierre and Esteban and that he's proud to have an out couple on his team.  In an act of resistance, Team Heikkenen refuses to shake hands with any of the players on Alpine Esports.  Fernando sees this as his plan working and gives one final motivational speech before the match begins.

The game ends on a decider map, with Alpine Esports needing one round to win. Pierre and Esteban are the only players left standing on Alpine Esports. In the final moments, Pierre baits himself out for Esteban to get the last shot, winning the round and the major. The team celebrates their victory. Fernando lifts up the trophy and the entire team declares themselves major champions. Pierre, deviating from El Plan, proposes to Esteban on the stage. Amused, Esteban accepts and kisses Pierre.

The team are outside the hotel, suitcases packed after their successful stint. Jack and Oscar decide to head to the airport to go home. Fernando says he's rented a car and he's going on a road trip, waving goodbye to Esteban and Pierre. 

George, an aspiring event-planner/art enthusiast, meets Alex, a vet, when he takes his parents' dog to the clinic. Alex gives George his phone number, and George assumes that he wants to ask him out, but turns out Alex has a bad habit of caring too much and he gives away his personal phone number almost to every client. However the misunderstanding leads to the first date, which leads to many more.

Eventually George meets Alex's friends: Yuki, a business-school dropout turned chef; Zhou, a young and talented fashion designer and influencer; and Lando, a travelling sports photographer specializing on Formula One. Alex, Yuki and Zhou went to a posh International School together and know each other for a very long time. Alex and Lando met when they were both in the university looking for a roommate.

After dropping out of business school Yuki opens a restaurant "Toro Rosso" with Pierre Gasly, who oversees administrative side and staff, while Yuki is in charge of the kitchen. The restaurant becomes very popular, booked and busy. Alex takes George there for one of their first dates to impress him, and it works.

Lando has a bit going on with Oscar Piastri, a Formula One driver and WDC contender, where he posts only extremely bad and blurry pictures of Oscar on his F1 photography instagram to which Oscar always replies with dead-pan "Thank you very much. The best photos ever👍🏼". Other drivers' pictures are normal, good even.

On the days, when the restaurant is closed Yuki invites Alex and Zhou in, he sets up a small table in the kitchen for his friends to try out his new recipes.
