The hotel room had a commanding view. From the window, they could see the brightly lit Samsara Stadium. They were already busy preparing for the final day.
The All-Star Weekend was a three-day event. Tickets were sold at retail and through. Chen Guo had gotten three through tickets. But from the retail prices, it was clear that the tickets for the three days were getting more expensive by the day, especially on the third day.
On the third day, there was only one event: the All-Star Competition. The 24 most popular pro players, chosen by the Glory fans, would be split into two teams on the final day. Just like in the Pro League, the individual competition, the group arena, and the team competition would take place.
It was impossible to see such a star-studded competition other than on this day. As a result, even though it was still a performance, the All-Star Competition's attendance and viewership could definitely rival the finals.
As a result, Chen Guo was very conflicted about not being able to watch the All-Star Competition live. As for Ye Xiu and Tang Rou, they weren't so conflicted. Tang Rou still hadn't logged out of the game. Ye Xiu was still sitting next to her, giving her pointers. It was only when they heard Chen Guo say something that the two would turn their heads to cooperate.
"Actually, your family knows that you're a pro player, right?" Chen Guo suddenly asked Ye Xiu.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu didn't turn his head this time.
"Then why don't you dare show your face?" Chen Guo found an opportunity to gossip.
"At first, I didn't want them to find me. As for later … I just didn't want them to be embarrassed. In their eyes, no matter what, I'm just a failure. "Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo didn't say anything. She realized that she shouldn't gossip too deeply about Ye Xiu's background. This was because these things were very painful for him. Perhaps he normally avoided thinking about these things, but she kept reminding him. It was very embarrassing.
With this apology, Chen Guo immediately slapped the TV: "Then forget it. We won't go tonight. We'll just watch TV."
"Actually, it's fine if I don't go. It's fine if you two go." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, that's true! When the interview comes, I can advertise for the Internet Cafe. "Chen Guo rubbed her chin as she pondered.
Tang Rou turned her head and said: "Then the guests probably aren't here to surf the Internet. They're here to watch, right?"
"Oh ….." Chen Guo sighed regretfully: "I forgot about that."
"Go, go, go, you guys go!" Ye Xiu stood up and stood behind Tang Rou, ready to move.
"What are you doing?" Tang Rou turned her head.
"You're going to watch the competition? I'll play!" Ye Xiu said.
"Is that the real reason why you don't want to go? You actually want to play games here! "Chen Guo said.
"How could that be? Didn't I tell you my difficulties?" Ye Xiu said. But his tone was so casual. It didn't seem like he was talking about his difficulties at all. But the truth was so convincing that they couldn't help but believe that he really did have his difficulties. Chen Guo hesitated for a moment. In the end, she didn't say anything and looked at Tang Rou.
Tang Rou obviously knew that Chen Guo really wanted to go. It wasn't easy to get these three tickets. If they missed the climax, it would be a regret for every fan. So she immediately stood up and gave her seat to Ye Xiu: "Then we'll go."
"Go, go!" Ye Xiu waved his hand and quickly logged out of Tang Rou's Han Yanrou account. He logged in as Lord Grim instead.
"You're not going to watch the All Stars?" Chen Guo asked.
"I'm going to watch. It's still early. I'll watch while I play." Ye Xiu said.
The two girls left, leaving Ye Xiu alone in the room.
The All Stars was worthy of being called a grand event that could rival the finals. It directly affected the number of players online in the game. In the afternoon, there were still quite a lot of players in the leveling area, but the closer it got to night, the fewer players there were. Watch while playing the game? Multitasking wasn't easy. In a game like Glory, there wasn't a lot of time for players to look away when they were actually fighting.
As a result, Ye Xiu seized the time to play the game. Seeing that it was almost time, he logged out of the game and turned on the TV.
The broadcast for the last day of the event had already started. The 24 All Stars hadn't officially entered the venue yet, but there were already reporters looking for these 24 players to interview.
The first one to be found was in the pro player area. Team Tyranny's vice-captain, Zhang Xinjie, had arrived early and was sitting up straight.
"Hello, vice-captain Zhang." The reporter hastily went up.
"Hello." Zhang Xinjie nodded his head.
"Even though it's the All Stars, you've still maintained your habit of entering the venue half an hour early!" The reporter began to ask questions.
"Yeah." Zhang Xinjie nodded his head again.
"Right now, the viewers must be very curious as to how the groups will be divided this year. Can you give everyone a hint?" The reporter said.
Zhang Xinjie looked at the reporter strangely. "Not disclosing it in advance is the request of the broadcaster, right?"
"Haha, it'll start in half an hour. It doesn't matter if I tell you a bit!" The reporter said.
Zhang Xinjie shook his head: "No comment."
The atmosphere stiffened for a moment. The reporter could only change the question: "With vice-captain Zhang's class, you'll probably be participating in the team competition. As a Master Tactician, I wonder if you've already prepared some kind of strategy?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Zhang Xinjie said politely. He didn't reveal anything.
"Thank you, vice-captain Zhang …" The reporter was helpless. He could only end this fruitless interview.
Then, his gaze shifted again. He saw Su Mucheng, who was already sitting in the Team Excellent Era area. She was also one of the 24 All Stars.
Su Mucheng and Ye Qiu's relationship wasn't a secret in the Glory circle. She was undoubtedly a super hot topic right now. How could the reporter miss this? He immediately rushed over with the cameraman.
"Mucheng, say hello to our viewers?" The reporter went up to greet her.
"Hey!" Su Mucheng waved her hand at the camera: "Are you watching TV?"
Ye Xiu was speechless. Wasn't this greeting a bit too personal?
Sure enough, the reporter caught it and immediately smiled: "This greeting is a bit special. Is there some kind of special meaning behind it?"
Su Mucheng smiled: "You know."
"Are you greeting Ye Qiu?" The reporter understood.
"That's right!" Su Mucheng admitted.
"So you're saying … Ye Qiu won't be coming today?" The reporter immediately realized a problem.
"I don't know!" Su Mucheng said.
"But you just greeted him in front of the TV!" The reporter said.
"It's the same! If he was in front of the TV, he would have seen it. If he came … he would have seen it on the big screen. " Su Mucheng pointed at the big screen hanging at the top of the stadium. Of course, there were cameras following the reporter.
"So it's like that. Thank you, Mucheng." Another segment of the interview came to an end. The screen temporarily cut away, but the reporter was looking for the next person to interview.
At this time, the broadcast screen changed and swept directly to the audience. Ye Xiu looked. Wasn't it Chen Guo and Tang Rou on the screen? Obviously, the broadcast was prepared for this and began to take a close-up shot of this position. These two beauties were very photogenic. Even without yesterday's scene, this close-up was pleasing to the eye. However, the focus of the close-up clearly wasn't here. After the camera turned, it gave a long and meaningful shot to the empty seat next to the two. Everything was understood without words.
When the reporter found another All Star player, the camera immediately switched to the interview. The half hour before the official start of the event passed like this. Facing this kind of competition, most of the players were more relaxed. There were very few who were as serious as Zhang Xinjie, joking with the reporter and mocking the players they were familiar with. The half hour passed very quickly.
When the official start of the event, the stadium's lights went out. Even though the 24 All-Stars roster had been sent out to the audience on the first day, on the last day, after the All-Stars began, the show for the 24 players officially began.
Under the lights, the first player to go onstage was Samsara's ace player, Zhou Zekai. After slowly walking onstage, the holographic projection flickered and Zhou Zekai's character, Cloud Piercer, flashed to his side. The stadium erupted with screams, giving face to their ace player. And this Zhou Zekai was very familiar with the show. In addition, he had the looks and figure. Even though he was a bit uneasy, he still had the aura of a God.
After that, the second player to go onstage was also a player from Samsara: Jiang Botao. His character, Empty Waves, was a Spellblade. He was Samsara's number two player after Zhou Zekai.
Since they only had to register and introduce their characters, the pace was quite fast. After Samsara's two players, Team Blue Rain went onstage. Three of their players had been selected for this year's All-Stars:
Yu Wenzhou, character, Swoksaar, class, Warlock.
Huang Shaotian, character, Troubling Rain, class, Blade Master.
Yu Feng, character, Brilliant Edge, class, Berserker.
After that, Team Misty Rain's two players:
Chu Yunxiu, character, Windy City Misty Rain, class, Elementalist.
Li Hua, character, Dark Forest, class, Ninja.
Team Hundred Blossoms' two players:
Tang Hao, character, Delillo, class, Brawler.
Zou Yuan, character, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, class, Spitfire.
These two players from Team Hundred Blossoms were a bit special. Tang Hao was only a second year rookie. His Brawler account, Delillo, wasn't considered anything special in the pro scene. However, thanks to his outstanding performance in the past half year, he had gained a lot of popularity and became an All-Star.
As for Zou Yuan, he was the exact opposite of Tang Hao. In terms of individual performance, this player, who had been hastily found to replace the original captain, Zhang Jiale, with Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, wasn't convincing at all. The reason he was able to become one of these 24 players was mostly because of the fame of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. Too many Glory fans didn't want to see this God-level character on the All-Stars stage.
Zou Yuan clearly understood this point. Standing onstage, he faintly took a step back from the projected Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.
