After the video conference, the representatives from the Four Major Regions busily prepared for the Opening Match.
First, the representatives of the AE Alliance drew lots to determine the matchups. Then, they selected one representative matchup to feature in the Opening Match.
There was no hidden agenda or anything like that; to make the League more appealing, it was inevitable that some adjustments would be made for the Opening Match.
Moreover, Li Hong and others did not interfere much with the competition process. The numerous rounds of matches in the League were entirely determined by drawing lots. They merely chose the most exciting round from those drawn to showcase in the Opening Match.
As the saying goes, a flaw does not overshadow a gem. Even though it was clear that the officials had manipulated things, countless spectators were still eager to see what would unfold. At least in the Opening Match, they could witness so many strong teams going head-to-head, which was certainly worth looking forward to.
Since Li Hong did not have time to go abroad, he did not pay much attention to the situation in the other three regions.
In any case, he was determined to watch the LPL Opening Match.
The LPL Opening Match was set to kick off at three o'clock this afternoon, featuring a showdown between IG Empire, backed by Scallion, and Penguin Entertainment, funded by Penguin Group.
The clash of these two powerhouses would take place at the Western Suburb Esports Arena in the capital. It promised to be an explosive encounter that had garnered considerable attention and curiosity from Goddess Alliance players.
To Li Hong's surprise, Huaxia Channel Five also decided to broadcast the LPL League as a warm-up for the upcoming World Championship.
Although Channel Five only aired match replays during late-night hours after eleven o'clock, it was enough to excite everyone.
This was just an ordinary points match in the LPL League. Despite being an Opening Match and marking Huaxia's first official Goddess Alliance event, it still couldn't compete with the allure of the World Championship.
With Channel Five's broadcast and the vast fanbase of Goddess Alliance in Huaxia, this Opening Match between IG and Penguin Entertainment quickly became a hot topic in society.
Countless fans from other regions purchased tickets to travel to the capital. As they put it, this was not only LPL's first match but also Goddess Alliance's inaugural official competition—absolutely unmissable.
These fans were not wrong; although the National Server and other three major regions started their matches simultaneously, due to time zone differences and other factors, the National Server would be the first region to host a Goddess Alliance event, making it also the world's first professional League of Goddess Alliance.
Korean Server Over there, despite being not far from Beijing, there is a time difference of nearly an hour. This means that the Opening Match of the National Server LPL will be the first professional match for Blue Star in the Goddess Alliance.
Given the importance of this match, AE Alliance did not take it lightly. They not only arranged for a larger venue but also organized more comprehensive security measures.
At the same time, to crack down on ticket scalpers, AE Alliance specifically implemented the relatively new DNA Ticket system. To enhance the show’s effect, they even invited the famous host from National Server, Pistachio Pimp, to co-host with Wang Han, the main host from Mango TV.
With this process in place, ticket scalpers were left wailing due to the so-called DNA electronic Ticket, while fans cheered loudly. Everyone had heightened expectations for the upcoming Opening Match.
Around two in the afternoon, Li Hong got into Mark's car. Accompanied by Loli, they arrived at the venue for the Opening Match, the Western Suburb Esports Arena.
As the top leader of AE Alliance, Li Hong naturally did not have to squeeze in with ordinary spectators at the back. His seat was right in the center of the front row.
On either side of him were ig's Scallion and Penguin Entertainment's Ma Ge.
Both Scallion and Ma Ge took this match very seriously. Not only did they come to watch in person, but Scallion also privately placed a bet that whoever won this Opening Match would receive a limited edition sports car from him.
With all the hype surrounding it, this Opening Match had already attracted widespread attention. Even older folks who didn’t understand esports knew that a major competition was happening in the capital.
……
When Li Hong and Loli took their seats, it was just as other spectators were entering.
Seeing a young man with his daughter sitting right in the middle of the front row, others attending began to speculate among themselves.
“Hey, who is that guy with his daughter? Is he some big streamer?” asked Yang Wenbo, a junior from Capital University, curiously to his friend Zhu Hao.
They were among the first batch of ticket buyers but could only secure seats beyond the fourth row.
It was obvious that those first four rows were reserved for important figures.
The first four rows were already like this, and who knew who would be in the front row? Not to mention that this young man was sitting right in the center of the first row. As the old saying goes, this was indeed a prime seat.
The best spot in the entire venue was undoubtedly the center of the first row.
Roommate Zhu Hao scratched his head and asked, "Could that be the Fist Game Boss? Since Fist Game is also in the capital, it wouldn't be impossible for their Boss to come watch the match!"
Yang Wenbo raised an eyebrow, pondering, "Hey, you might actually be onto something."
The Fist Game Boss had been exposed ever since the last Piao Duan Diao livestream. Almost every player of Goddess Alliance knew that the head of Fist Game was a young man named Li Hong.
Seeing a young man sitting in the main seat naturally led them to think of Li Hong.
However, Yang Wenbo wasn't too sure, so he secretly took a photo of Li Hong with a Loli and posted it in the Goddess Alliance forum for discussion.
Once the photo was out, the forum members immediately recognized him. The young man in the picture was none other than Li Hong, the Boss of Fist Game, whom countless players despised!
"Hey, who is that girl? Is she Li Hong's sister or daughter?"
"Probably his daughter? There's no mention of a sister in Li Hong's profile."
"No sisters in esports; that's a fact!"
"If she really is his daughter, does that mean I'm a customer of my father-in-law?"
"Upstairs, you've crossed the line..."
"…"
After glancing at the replies in the forum, Yang Wenbo shook his head and closed his phone.
The group of guys only seemed to care about high definition and Blu-ray clarity. Everything else was just invisible to them.
However, Yang Wenbo was somewhat curious about the girl that Li Hong was holding onto. He poked Zhu Hao beside him and asked curiously, "Who is the girl that Li Hong is with? Is she his sister or his daughter?"
"You’re asking me? How would I know?" Zhu Hao rolled his eyes, responding irritably.
He wasn’t anyone important to Li Hong, so why would he know such things?
"Enough of that, sit down quickly. The Opening Match is about to start."
Zhu Hao pulled Yang Wenbo impatiently.
The two of them had skipped class to rush to the Western Suburb Esports Arena just to watch the LPL's Opening Match.
