The contestants for this round have already been selected.
Su Yu could only sit down in the audience area.
Gong Juren naturally went to communicate with the staff.
To register for the next round.
"Excuse me, can we register?"
The staff member recording names was a beautiful young woman. Upon hearing Gong Juren's words, she looked up slightly.
Because Gong Juren was wearing a mask, she only felt he looked familiar but didn't recognize him. "Yes, please state your name, and I'll make a record."
"Gong Juren, Su Yu." Gong Juren said with a smile. Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
"Okay, once your teammate count is full, the next round..." The staff member lowered her head and recorded on the notebook.
However, the more she looked at the names just written in the notebook, the more something felt wrong.
She suddenly looked up, and seeing the smile in Gong Juren's eyes, she was instantly stunned.
"Can I go now?" Gong Juren winked at her.
"You... you are really Gong Juren, the singer who sang 'Qian Bai Du'?" The staff member quickly stood up and asked urgently.
"That's right." Gong Juren nodded.
"Then... Su Yu is Teacher Ting Yu?" Her voice trembled slightly.
"Mm." Gong Juren nodded again.
"Hiss... can I tell my colleagues?" The staff member gasped, then stomped her feet excitedly, acting like a true fan.
"Of course, but don't make a big fuss." Gong Juren gestured for her to be quiet.
This press conference was not meant to hide their identities, so appearing at the competition was also not something to be kept secret.
Besides, he had asked Su Yu just now, and Su Yu said there was no need to deliberately hide his identity. Because Gong Juren sang the game's theme song, having more exposure in the gaming sphere would be beneficial for his development.
Gong Juren was deeply touched by this. He knew Su Yu preferred to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect him to be willing to reveal his identity and accompany him to play games for his career.
How could I, Gong Juren, deserve such care from Brother Yu!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel teary.
"Teacher Xiao Gong, there's one last question."
"Go ahead."
"Can... can you give me an autograph? I like you so much, and Ting Yu too. I'm his most loyal fan, and! And I'm also a fan of the Yan Yu CP! And I like your whole singer group!" The staff member became more and more excited, her face flushing red as she took out a notebook from the drawer.
"No problem, just arrange some strong teammates for us." Gong Juren took the pen and notebook and signed his name.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange professional players as teammates for you." The staff member took the notebook back and whispered in his ear.
"There are professional players?" Gong Juren was surprised.
"Yes, there are not only professional players but also streamers. They are resting backstage now for their performance match this afternoon."
"Then I'll trouble you. I'll get Brother Yu's autograph for you later." Gong Juren nodded repeatedly.
With professional players, they would almost certainly not lose. Although they felt that winning or losing didn't matter, it would be best if they could win the competition.
...
Backstage.
Zhou Xiaoyi, as a top streamer on Dou Mao and a commentator for the game "Hero," was invited to the game's press conference to provide commentary for the exhibition match.
Beside her were two professional players, engrossed in their mobile phones.
Suddenly, a staff member rushed into the lounge.
"The match outside is short of three teammates. Can you guys play a game?" the person said, out of breath, after entering.
"Isn't the exhibition match not until this afternoon?"
"We only agreed to play the exhibition match with the organizers. We don't care about anything else."
The two professional players looked up and said with a smile.
"You want us to work overtime again? No way." Zhou Xiaoyi also pouted.
They assumed it was a last-minute request from the organizers for overtime, so they naturally refused.
"But Ting Yu is looking for teammates. If you guys don't go, I'll have to go find Teacher Ma and the others next door." The staff member said, starting to walk out.
Zhou Xiaoyi and the others were not the only streamers and professional players present. If they refused, the staff member would have to find others.
Furthermore, when this matter reached the organizers, even the high-level executives of the "Hero" game were alerted. Ting Yu was on his way.
Ting Yu was now even more popular than top idols. His appearance in the gaming community was a major event.
It was worth a high-level executive making a special trip.
"What??"
"Ting Yu??"
"Holy cow, stop right there!"
Before the staff member could leave the lounge, Zhou Xiaoyi and the others called out to him.
"Is it that producer Ting Yu?"
"Is it the Ting Yu who wrote 'Gu Yong Zhe'?"
The group rushed over and surrounded him.
"No... that's right, it's him. Besides him, there's also singer Gong Juren." The staff member said weakly.
Zhou Xiaoyi and the others exchanged glances. The two professional players each grabbed an arm of the staff member.
"Let's go quickly, we're playing this match!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say Ting Yu was coming earlier? If you had said so, this wouldn't have happened."
"Hurry, hurry, don't let others get ahead of us!"
...
After this match concluded.
As the contestants left the stage, Su Yu and Gong Juren went up from backstage.
Since the contestants were self-registered from the audience and then assigned by the production team, when Su Yu and the others took their seats in the red team's area as indicated by the production team, two young men and a girl sat beside them.
Unlike the previous contestants, the people in Su Yu's team were all wearing masks, which looked a bit strange.
Zhou Xiaoyi was sitting to Su Yu's right. When she looked at Su Yu, he nodded at her, and at that moment, she almost couldn't help but cry out.
"Ting Yu! It's really Ting Yu!"
In fact, Zhou Xiaoyi had met Ting Yu before. At that time, Zhang Wei debuted by singing "Guest" at his ex-girlfriend's wedding, and Xinghui had invited her to live-stream the event.
She had also wanted Su Yu to write a song for her before, but Su Yu's development was too fast, and he had already become a "song god." She naturally gave up on that idea.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and there wasn't much communication.
The commentators beside them began explaining the lineup choices.
"We are now entering the ban and pick phase."
"The mid-lane hero for the blue team is actually Lux?"
"Wow! The red team picked Yasuo, which is unexpected. As the saying goes, ten Yasuo players are nine noobs, and one is a total noob. Let's see how this Yasuo player performs."
"Monkey? The red team picked Monkey King, probably to synergize with Yasuo. That's okay too."
"The blue team picked Fiora for top lane, which is also a good choice."
...
"Jarvan IV? If they pick Jarvan IV, then Monkey King should be in the top lane."
"Hiss... Malphite support??"
"Holy... Oh my god, the AD is Yone???"
When the red team's lineup was revealed, everyone was stunned.
All crowd control.
All designed to serve that Yasuo?
...
ps: A quick explanation for friends who don't play LoL: Yasuo's ultimate ability can only be cast when an enemy is airborne, so airborne effects are very important for Yasuo. There are only these two chapters for the game, and it won't turn into an esports novel. Everything is a setup for writing songs...
