Very quickly, the grand final of the national eSports tournament arrived.

SX had defeated PC Team and would now compete in the grand final.

By the time the grand final match started, the seats were filled. There were even people standing along the aisle, all the way to the back of the venue.

The lively atmosphere was highly charged up, boiling with excitement and anticipation.

When Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan walked out of the backstage in their CQ Team uniforms, everyone in the audience was stunned.

“I’ll be damned, do you see who that is? Why does he look so terribly familiar?”

“I must be seeing things. I’m at a fake eSports event!”

“Is this eSports or a press conference?”

“Best Actor Shen is here?”

“A Best Actor? Playing in a professional tournament? My eyes are playing tricks!”

“My god! Is this an entertainment game segment?”

“Ahhhh, Best Actor Shen is so dashing. So, so, so dashing!”

Two distinct voices could be heard amongst the audience at once.

The players of the two teams met under the stage. They only moved up to the stage when the host announced the beginning of the match and started the commentary.

This was the first time King played against CQ. Hence upon seeing Qiao Lian, he held out his hand and said, “How do you do, Ms. Qiao?”

She frowned as she was put in a conundrum. Shen Liangchuan stepped up.

On Qiao Lian’s beglad, he shook King’s hand and said, “How do you do?”

King: …

He glanced at Shen Liangchuan and a look of surprise crossed his face. “Shen?”

He spouted a rapid string of words in his language as his interpreter immediately said, “Mr. Shen? What brings you here? Did their team hire you for a morale boost?”

The team members from SX burst out laughing at King’s remark.

King added with sarcasm, “Why wouldn’t a Best Actor focus on acting and instead play video games? This is such a joke.”

“Besides, this is the national tournament. Best Actor Shen, are you sure you’re up to it?”

“It’s still not too late to step down, otherwise it could get ugly. Oh, such a pity. I’m just worried that I’ll be slaughtered by your fans.”

Shen Liangchuan did not respond to his provocation and turned around indifferently, but he exchanged a look with Qiao Lian.

In the meantime, on the internet, people were starting to express their doubts.

They commented that they did not understand this move by CQ.

“Why is Best Actor Shen playing? It’s an important match, why are they letting him play?”

“Are they thinking that if they lose, no one would criticize them for his sake?”

“This is a serious match. CQ Team is not taking this event to heart!”

“Exactly, this is a sports event, it’s sacred, not an entertainment!”

At the same time, there were fans of Best Actor Shen that spoke up, “Ahhhhhhh, my male idol is playing! Why is he always so dashing? But can male idol pull this off?”

“This match today has to do with the honor of the country!! Is it really advisable to be so willful?”

The messages were so full of doubts.

The host was now starting to introduce the line-up.

When it came to Qiao Lian, she was introduced as CQ’s Xiao Qiao.

The host remarked, “I’m sure everyone’s familiar with the name Xiao Qiao, one of the two great female gamers in the world of eSports. Besides, she has brought CQ Team a long way right up to this point. Next, let me introduce the next player, CQ’s Zi Chuan!”
