Soon, after the ticket checks were completed, the audience began to fill the venue.
The Western Suburb Esports Arena was not large; it couldn't be called a powerhouse among esports arenas, but it could still accommodate several thousand people. At this moment, however, the vast Western Suburb Esports Arena was packed with fans who had come to watch the Opening Match.
Beside Li Hong, Scallion arrived with a confident smile, accompanied by a woman with an influencer's face as they took their seats.
Ma Ge arrived a bit later; once everyone was seated, he hurried in through the VIP entrance.
They exchanged brief greetings and then fell silent in their seats.
...
The colorful neon lights on stage gradually dimmed under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
After a brief pause, a beam of light shone down in the center of the stage. The stage began to rise, revealing Piao Duan Diao, dressed in a black vest and with a round figure, wearing glasses as he walked up.
“Alright, everyone, welcome to the first round of the Goddess Alliance LPL League s1 tournament! I am your commentator and host for this match, Piao Duan Diao!”
As Piao Duan Diao finished his introduction, the spotlight shifted to him.
At that moment, the audience erupted into cheers.
A middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and an elegant appearance spoke in a deep voice: “Good afternoon, everyone! I am your special guest commentator for this match and also your host, Wang Han!”
Wang Han's appearance ignited the enthusiasm of the audience completely; the atmosphere became lively and vibrant. Everyone was surprised that AE Alliance had gone all out to invite Mango TV's star host for the Opening Match.
The surprise left everyone utterly speechless.
Ma Ge glanced thoughtfully at Scallion, then turned to Li Hong and exclaimed, "Not bad! Whose idea was this?"
Although he was also a member of the AE Alliance, Ma Ge didn't have time to waste chatting aimlessly. Therefore, he had no idea whose idea it was. However, his instinct told him that it likely had something to do with Scallion, who was standing nearby.
Li Hong chuckled lightly and replied, "Ma Ge, take a guess."
"Scallion?" Ma Ge offered the person he suspected most.
Scallion was known in the circle for being unreliable and having wild ideas, so it wouldn't be surprising if this came from him.
However, as soon as Ma Ge spoke, Scallion wrinkled his nose and said, "Mr. Ma, don’t be ridiculous; this isn’t my idea."
Given that Ma Ge's voice wasn't low and the three of them were seated closely together, it was no surprise that Scallion heard him.
Yet instead of being flustered by the revelation, Ma Ge grew even more puzzled.
If this wasn’t Scallion’s idea, then who thought of inviting Wang Han to host the Opening Match?
Of course, judging by the audience's reaction on-site, it was clear that this was no terrible idea; in fact, it was a brilliant one.
In fact, when Piao Duan Diao and Wang Han made their entrance together, several live streaming platforms broadcasting the Opening Match were already buzzing with excitement.
"666! What a bold move! They even managed to invite Wang Han!"
"The setup is so grand; I can't wait for the competition later."
"Same here! Seeing Wang Han makes me even more excited for the match."
"Why does it have to be Teacher Piao? Just imagining the two of them standing together fills my mind with images of Teacher Piao's bulk."
"Hey upstairs, please remember to apply a Mosaic filter for Teacher Piao while watching!"
"666"
Li Hong smirked, a self-satisfied smile spreading across his face.
In fact, he was the one who first suggested inviting Wang Han.
Initially, he hadn't expected such a great outcome; he just thought it would be a bit dull to have only Piao Duan Diao and a few other streamers commentating on the match. So, he thought of inviting a famous host.
However, it was just an idea at first. After sending out the inquiry email, he was surprised when Wang Han readily accepted the invitation.
Thinking of this, Li Hong cast a grateful glance at Wang Han on stage.
Since Li Hong was seated in the front row, closest to the stage and right in the center, his gaze quickly caught Wang Han's attention.
Wang Han smiled subtly and nodded lightly at Li Hong, signaling that there was no need to worry about it.
At first, Li Hong thought that was the end of it. Unexpectedly, this brief exchange of glances between him and Wang Han was noticed by Piao Duan Diao nearby.
"Hey, what is our Teacher Wang Han doing with that audience member down there? This is a very serious occasion, you know. Can you not be so flamboyant?"
Upon hearing Piao Duan Diao's words, the cameraman obligingly pointed the camera at Li Hong and Wang Han for a few rounds.
For a moment, Wang Han on stage remained unfazed; after all, he had seen too much in his time. However, Li Hong was not as composed as Wang Han. He laughed and scolded, "Piao Duan Diao, you rascal! Since you know this is a serious occasion, how can you be so cheeky?"
Unfortunately, without a microphone, Li Hong's words went unheard by Piao Duan Diao.
The stage manager cooperatively approached and handed Li Hong a microphone.
Li Hong took the microphone and repeated his earlier remarks.
Instantly, Piao Duan Diao's expression became quite entertaining. The audience below and viewers in various live-streaming rooms burst into laughter.
"Piao Duan Diao looks completely bewildered. Is this really a serious occasion?"
"You guys are so flamboyant yet expect me not to be Piao Duan Diao?"
"Teacher Piao wants to hit someone after hearing this!"
Piao Duan Diao looked innocently at the audience and said, "Hey, did everyone see that? This is what we call 'the villain crying first'—a classic example!"
Then he introduced, "Alright, enough of the nonsense. Let me introduce someone. This gentleman here is Mr. Li Hong, the chairman of Fist Game, the producer behind the Goddess Alliance, and also the president of AE Association."
Wang Han appeared somewhat at a loss, possibly due to the unfamiliar territory he was navigating. It wasn't until Piao Duan Diao opened the discussion that he smiled and chimed in, "That's right, and I would also like to thank all the esteemed guests present for their support. Here, we have Mr. Ma Ge, the chairman of Penguin Group, and Mr. Scallion, the chairman of Panda Entertainment."
As Wang Han read out their names, Ma Ge and Scallion stood up one after the other to acknowledge the audience.
A wave of gasps erupted from the crowd; no one had expected these two to attend the match in person.
Scallion's appearance was not particularly surprising; after all, it wasn't unusual for him to squeeze into events like this. However, Ma Ge's presence truly astonished everyone.
Compared to those flashy business tycoons, Ma Ge was a quintessential recluse. Even online, news about him was scarce.
To think that this time, for the Goddess Alliance's Opening Match, they had managed to draw in such a big shot as Ma Ge.
