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

Also a top player in the Chinese server.

Sitting in the commentary booth, judging the two fighters' style of combat from a god-like perspective, he indeed felt that both of them were fighting in a very sneaky way.

He even thought that if he were to play in this way, he would probably feel ashamed.

But he forgot that mindset is the most magical thing.

As the first of the 32 contestants to take the stage, he was the first among all the players to appear before a global audience.

The psychological pressure they are under is unimaginable.

They were so eager to play this game well that they were overly cautious.

Both were afraid of making mistakes and revealing weaknesses, so neither dared to make the first move.

Another reason is that, as people from the same region, the two often face off against each other and are well aware of each other's strength, which puts even more pressure on them.

Three minutes passed quickly.

A game lasts four minutes, which means that if you don't start playing now, the game will end.

So both of them gradually gave up roaming and started trying to launch attacks, but they still couldn't play with the same ease they had in ranked and casual matches.

This meant that neither player managed to kill the other until the match ended four minutes later.

During the intense battle, Li Yong used Blue Fist's only ranged skill, Tornado, to inflict some damage on Qiu Dongsheng's magic scholar.

But when it comes to attrition, how could a melee character possibly outlast a ranged class like a Witch?

This resulted in Qiu Dongsheng winning the first game due to his superior health.

As the clock struck zero, Li Yong took his hands off the keyboard, his face filled with confusion.

Judging from his expression, he seemed completely bewildered, as if he had no idea what he was doing.

He didn't even realize what was happening when the referee announced the result of the match.

As for Wenrou, who was sitting in the commentary booth, she was also extremely frustrated after seeing this result:

"Brother Yong! What are you doing?!"

"You, a melee fighter, are going to try and wear down Qiu Dongsheng's sorcerer? What were you thinking?"

"This style of play won't work!"

"But it's okay, you still have one more game. I hope you can adjust your mindset in the next game and turn the tide."

Wenrou didn't participate in the competition, so whoever won the championship was none of his business.

Even so, seeing such a heart-wrenching match still made him extremely annoyed.

Looking at Tang Xiaoyou, during the match just now, the two players' playing styles almost made her, the commentator, retire on the spot.

Having finally made it to the end of the first game, she finally found something to say, so she quickly started to make her presence known:

"Alright, now both sides will have a three-minute break and time to think. The second game will begin in three minutes."

"Hopefully, Li Yong can adjust her mindset and return to her usual level in the second game..."

Li Yong couldn't hear these sounds while wearing headphones.

But now he has taken off his headphones, and he can hear everything clearly.

He was already nervous and in a bad mood, and hearing this made him even more nervous.

Moreover, the murmurs and shouts from the large audience further aggravated his already tense state of mind.

"Li Yong! What are you doing? What the hell are you hitting?"

"Look at how you're playing, is that the right way?"

"Blue Fist going to play a war of attrition against Demonic Path? Are you really a player with over 2000 points on the ladder? You must be cheating to get there, right?"

If I lose the next game, I'm unfollowing you.

"Come on! Don't just stand there."

"Please, stop being so sleazy and fight properly!"

……

Every word of that voice was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Li Yong's fragile heart.

Ultimately, he was just a young man in his early twenties at the time, and his mental resilience wasn't that strong.

Backstage at the competition.

Chen Feng, the person in charge of the competition organizer, and Ye Ju, the person in charge of the venue, were sitting casually in chairs, watching the scene through a laptop in front of them.

Although Director Ye claims not to play games, he has never seriously studied the game Dungeon Fighter Online.

However, he sensed a passion and romance unique to young people from the audience and contestants at the scene.

that's nice!

Perhaps this is the passion and joy that young people truly need.

He used to be prejudiced against this thing, and like most people, he thought that games were harmful.

But at that moment he suddenly understood that whether something is harmful or not depends on how you view it.

To put it simply, games are not some kind of monster.

On the contrary, this is a very healthy form of entertainment, or rather, a sport.

Like all traditional sports, it can develop mental and physical abilities and challenge one's limits.

To put it bluntly, playing games is still much better than young people trying to make it in society.

Through the various shots of today's match, he saw the passion of youth and the desire to win in every single person.

These emotions, just like those traditional sports in the Olympics, are all positive!

Young people should have this kind of passion!

and……

It's so good to be young...

As he watched, Director Ye, a department-level leader in his fifties, suddenly smiled—a smile of envy, the kind that comes from seeing youthful enthusiasm.

I miss the laughter of my youth.

After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly turned to look at the young, multi-billionaire gaming genius and company owner beside him.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Mr. Chen, which of these two contestants do you think has the better chance?"

On the surface, Qiu Dongsheng has already won a round, and the advantage is definitely in his favor.

However, I happen to have a professional by my side. After all, he is the chief designer of this wildly popular game. He should be able to understand these things, right?

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng quickly turned his head, a broad smile on his face:

"Qiu Dongsheng has basically won."

"Actually, in private, the two are about the same level, neither of them is stronger, and they usually win or lose against each other."

"But Director Ye, look, Li Yong's condition is clearly not right now."

"He was too nervous, and his mindset was obviously messed up. He can't play in this state."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably the best we can do."

Chen Feng pointed to the computer screen, just as the director turned the camera to a close-up of the two contestants.

This scene clearly shows Li Yong's left hand, which is resting on the keyboard, trembling slightly...

You wouldn't notice it if you didn't look closely.

However, thanks to Chen Feng's prompting, Director Ye easily caught this small detail.

I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile:

"It seems that Mr. Chen is indeed very observant."

"This young man's mentality is still lacking! If he doesn't address this issue, the result will likely be the same in the second competition..."
