You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

A male and a female commentator – this is a very standard setup.

This is basically how the commentary for a match is structured.

For various reasons.

One commentator focuses on the technical aspects, while the other adds entertainment and interactivity. This combination makes the game more exciting.

Tang Xiaoyou, a popular and attractive streamer with a huge fan base in this field, and a player of Dungeon & Fighter with some understanding of the game, was chosen as a commentator for this competition, which didn't surprise the audience much.

It could even be said that it was anticipated.

However, many people couldn't understand why Wenrou would become a commentator.

It's not that he's not qualified.

In fact, whether from a technical perspective or in terms of the requirements for hiring commentators, in addition to professional skills, there are also requirements for language expression ability, stage presence ability, and good physical appearance.

She is absolutely qualified in terms of gentleness and is a well-deserved choice for commentary.

What's truly unexpected is that this guy is a top-tier player in the Chinese server, and a popular player who once achieved a fourth-highest ranking on the ladder.

He actually gave up participating in this year's S1 Fighting King Tournament and instead went to work as a commentator.

This surprised the fans.

His individual fans were even a little disappointed.

I didn't get to see my favorite player dominate the competition.

In fact, with his gentle strength, he definitely has the ability to enter the main competition through the city championship.

However, he still gave up participating in the competition and instead became a commentator for the competition.

The reason is actually very simple: because Wenrou is a member of this circle, he knows clearly how strong Xiaoxiao, Qiu Dongsheng, and other guys are.

To put it bluntly, even if he participated in this competition, he wasn't confident he could win.

Let alone winning the championship, he wasn't even confident of getting a top-three finish.

So instead of betting on such a slim chance of winning, it would be better to just give up on this competition and take on the role of a commentator, which also attracts a lot of attention.

His thinking was very simple.

If you participate in a competition and don't perform well or play to your potential, you might disappoint your fans and get criticized by them.

but!

Hey, I didn't even participate in the competition, what right do you have to criticize me?

In the future, during his live streams, he could even say, "I just didn't participate in the competition back then, otherwise, it's really hard to say who the champion would have been!"

Then, by becoming a commentator, he can gain more followers and increase his popularity through the exposure he gets during this period. He'll be almost as popular as the champion of this competition, which is a win-win situation.

So you can tell from his decision to give up the game and become a commentator that this guy has an extremely high IQ!

Moreover, this guy is very good at weighing the pros and cons when he does things.

「好的，现在是京城时间2027年2月21日下午2点零3分，元宵节后的第一天。」

"The New Year atmosphere is still strong, and I'm sure everyone had a very happy New Year."

"Yes." Tang Xiaoyou nodded.

After Wenrou finished speaking, she quickly chimed in, just like a professional straight man in a crosstalk performance.

Actually, neither of them had done similar work before. This time they were complete novices, so their speech naturally wasn't as polished as that of professional hosts.

However, the fact that they didn't show any weakness is quite good.

Another reason is that the commentary for this kind of competition must be professional. On the contrary, if you invite several hosts, the effect is actually not as good as these two guys.

After nodding, Tang Xiaoyou casually made a joke:

"I wonder if everyone gained weight during the Lunar New Year holiday, hahaha..."

Holy crap, how presumptuous of you!

Hey girl, it's just after the New Year, don't go around saying things we don't want to hear!

Don't make me report you during the Lunar New Year...

That's too much...

As soon as Tang Xiaoyou said those words, the online viewers in the official live broadcast room couldn't hold back anymore.

After all, who doesn't have a good meal during the Lunar New Year? And who doesn't gain a little weight during the Lunar New Year?

But is it really okay for you to say it so bluntly?

Hearing this, Wenrou smiled gently and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Haha, Xiaoyou, your words really hit home! I've gained a full eight pounds this year!"

"I feel like you're specifically targeting me with those words!"

"No, no, Wenrou, you've misunderstood." Tang Xiaoyou waved her hand.

He then adopted a serious expression.

If she continued talking like that, she really didn't know what to say anymore, and she was getting a little embarrassed.

Although she has over two million followers online and can walk around in cosplay outfits all day long, she is very cool and has never felt nervous.

But this time the event was just too big; it was a super-large event she had never experienced in her entire life.

Nearly 50,000 people were present at the event, and over 3 million viewers watched the official Dungeon & Fighter live stream. In addition, some local TV sports channels were also broadcasting the event live.

Even someone who has seen a lot can feel nervous when being the center of attention for the first time.

"Before the opening ceremony, let's give a round of applause to the notary and organizers of this competition to speak."

"Please welcome Director Ye Xiangdong of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism to the stage to speak!"

Let's give them a round of applause!!!

Splash splash splash splash...

As the gentle voice of Tang Xiaoyou rang out, a man in his fifties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a sharp suit, walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am Ye Xiangdong from Shanghai Culture and Tourism, and I am also the notary and referee for the S1 Fighting King Tournament hosted by Fengyun Games."

"Hereby I declare that the entire process of the S1 Fighting King Tournament fully complies with the competition standards, and all procedures are absolutely fair and just. We will strictly monitor any cheating or favoritism to ensure the fair rights of every participant."

"To ensure that every fan and every viewer can have complete peace of mind!"

"At the same time, I wish all the players good results, hope they can play to their true level, bring the best performance to the audience, and bring glory to their fans!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

"Next, let's hand over the time to Mr. Chen Feng from Fengyun Games, the organizer of this competition, to speak!"

After saying this, Ye Xiangdong personally led the applause, which was a great show of respect to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng walked onto the main stage with a big smile amidst cheers and applause from the audience.

Today, this guy was wearing a flashy blue suit, with a bow tie instead of a tie, and with his slicked-back hair and young, handsome looks, his style was extremely cool.

She captivated countless female viewers the moment she appeared on screen.

[Holy crap! Is CEO Chen really that young and handsome? I always thought he was a bald, old man!]

【No? Don't you know Mr. Chen is a young man? This isn't the first time this guy has appeared in public.】

[I don't know, does anyone who plays games care about who the game company owner is?]
