Three Tickets
On the first weekend of every year, the Glory Pro Alliance assembled all of the pro players and host a gathering . The gathering would have many performances, especially the All-Star Competition . 24 pros would be chosen through a fan vote . It could be said that these 24 pros were the 24 most popular players, with the largest fan bases . Because of this Glory event, the gathering was also called the All-Star Weekend .
After the great success of the first All-Star Weekend in the Glory Pro Alliance’s third season, the event came back every year with a different Club responsible for hosting it . This year, Glory’s eighth season and sixth All-Star Weekend was hosted by Club Samsara . Club Samsara was located in City S . Once Ye Xiu heard Chen Guo say that they were going to City S for the weekend, he thought of this special day and understood what was going on .
“Are we going to participate in the All-Star Weekend?” Ye Xiu asked .
“Yup! I managed to get three tickets . How amazing am I?” Chen Guo exclaimed .
Even though the competitiveness during the All-Star Weekend might not be as great as a normal match, for the many fans, having the chance to watch such an exciting event was already worth the ticket price . As a result, the All-Star Weekend’s tickets were in very high demand . If you wanted to buy one, money wasn’t the only thing you needed . Luck played a huge part as well .
“Not bad, not bad . ” Ye Xiu forced a smile .
All-Star Weekend…… With his status, he had been chosen as one of the 24 players every single year . Even this year, starting from when the votes started at the beginning of the season, the amount of votes he got was very high . It was only because he had retired mid-way that his name got wiped from the list .
For Ye Xiu, who didn’t want to be exposed in front of the public, the All-Star Weekend was an event that required a lot of interaction, so truthfully, it wasn’t an event he liked to participate in . The All-Star Weekend was a performance, so the competition there wasn’t very serious . The battles between two sides wouldn’t be in an enclosed area like conventional matches . The stage was set where the audience could directly see them . As a result, Ye Xiu always hid behind the stage . His computer would then be connected to the stage by a cord .
Ye Xiu was the only one who wouldn’t come up on stage . In the past, his invisibility was a part of the All-Star event and it had even turned into a type of joke . But All-Star’s Competition this time around would no longer have this part .
Ye Xiu had managed to escape from this year’s All-Star Competition with great difficulty . How could he have known that Chen Guo would buy a ticket and call him to go along . In the past, he had been a participant and this time, he would be a spectator . Thinking about this, he decided that it’d be fine and, as a result, he wouldn’t decline Chen Guo’s good intentions .
In Chen Guo’s mind, she didn’t think that anyone who played Glory would refuse this type of trip . That was why she had notified Ye Xiu . She didn’t have any intention of negotiating and didn’t notice Ye Xiu’s reluctance . She had already put in order the issue about the three not working at the Internet Cafe for the weekend .
Three tickets naturally meant three people . Ye Xiu, Chen Guo, and the other person was, of course, Tang Rou . Tang Rou already knew, though she displayed her usual boredness . She clearly wasn’t as crazy of a fan as Chen Guo was .
After Ye Xiu went online, he played for a bit and then saw that Su Mucheng’s Cleansing Mist had come online .
“I’ll be going to City S tomorrow!” Su Mucheng messaged . Considering Su Mucheng’s skill level, there was quite a dispute as to whether or not she belonged among the top 24 players . However, the invitations to the All-Star Competition weren’t chosen based on ability, but rather popularity . In this area, Su Mucheng was the favorite among Glory fans . From the very start of the event, she had been chosen as one of the 24 stars every time .
“Yeah, I’ll be going too . ” Ye Xiu replied .
“Ah? You’re going too? They found you?” Su Mucheng asked .
“What? Who found me?” Ye Xiu was puzzled .
“For this year’s All-Star Weekend of course . Samsara hoped that you would be able to come on stage with a special invitation, so they contacted Excellent Era . The manager even came to ask me whether I could contact you . I, however, ignored him . ” Su Mucheng replied .
“Oh, not that…… I have a ticket . ”
“You bought a ticket… . . How thoughtful!”
“Nah, it’s my boss . She got three tickets and asked me to tag along . ” Ye Xiu said .
“Oh, oh, as a spectator!”
“Yeah!”
“It’ll probably feel very different, right?”
“Probably?”
“I want to be a spectator too . ”
“Get sick again?” Ye Xiu suggested .
“It probably won’t work this time . ” Su Mucheng sent a sad face . When she skipped the team’s Christmas activity, it was obvious that being sick was just an excuse . They just didn’t bother with her . As for this All-Star event, even though it wasn’t an official competition, it was definitely an official event . Sick? You’d need proof .
“Come on . ” Ye Xiu obviously understood . This type of official event was quite difficult to escape from . Ye Xiu wasn’t the only one who didn’t want to participate in the All-Star event, but everyone still went anyways .
After chatting for a bit, the two continued to play . It was just the All-Star Weekend . They had gone many times already . There was nothing extraordinarily amazing about it . It was just that Chen Guo had only watched the streams before and she didn’t have any partners before, so she was too lazy to go . Now that she had Ye Xiu and Tang Rou to accompany her, Chen Guo got three tickets and prepared to join in on the excitement .
A day passed and Friday came . In the afternoon, the three flew over to City S . They arrived at the hotel Chen Guo had booked . She and Tang Rou would be in one room . Ye Xiu was lucky and got his own room to himself .

After packing up, Chen Guo shouted at them to get ready to leave . The All-Star Weekend didn’t only last one day . It would start from eight on Friday and would last for two and a half days . Chen Guo was already unable to wait any longer . She dragged the two out the door and studied the map the entire way there . After looking at it for a long time, she still didn’t understand the directions to the event . Ye Xiu was just about to say something, when Chen Guo suddenly made a decision: call a taxi .
But this taxi driver clearly wasn’t a Glory fan . In his mind, “Club Samsara” wasn’t a landmark . After hearing her, he stopped the taxi and repeatedly asked Chen Guo to confirm that those were the correct words . He then asked, at a loss: “Do you know how to get there?”
Chen Guo coughed blood . She had called a taxi because she didn’t know where it was .
“It’s not too far from here . ” Chen Guo vaguely said . It was true that it wasn’t that far . She had booked the hotel near Club Samsara .
Ye Xiu wiggled into the conversation: “Go along Changde Road and take a left at Zhaojia Bridge . Once you get past the intersection, we’ll have arrived . ”
“Oh, there!” The taxi driver heard and immediately understood . He stepped on the pedals and they went on their way .
Chen Guo replied stupidly: “Where’s that?”
“Club Samsara!” Ye Xiu said .
“You’ve come here before?” Chen Guo asked, when she suddenly thought again: “Oh, I forgot . Even though you were just a small character, you still had to be a part of a team, right? Have you been to all the Clubs?”
“Yeah, yeah……” Ye Xiu nodded his head .
“Then why didn’t you say anything earlier!” Chen Guo said .
“Then why didn’t you say anything earlier!” Chen Guo said .
“I was about to… . . ”
Once the taxi started moving, Chen Guo stopped arguing . The taxi went with Ye Xiu’s directions and, sure enough, it really wasn’t that far away . Just as they were about to arrive , the taxi suddenly stopped . The taxi driver stuck his head out the window and looked at the traffic . He opened his mouth, stunned: “Why’s the traffic so bad?” The taxi driver couldn’t understand the reason for the traffic jam .
“See the sidewalk up ahead? You can let us off there!” Ye Xiu said .
As a result, the three got off at the sidewalk . They looked at the traffic jam . Chen Guo wasn’t unhappy, but rather, she was excited: “Wow, wow! Is this all because of the All-Star Competition? How exciting! Look!”
“Yup!” Ye Xiu obviously knew the reason . Experienced fans wouldn’t drive to the event . They’d be stuck in traffic and it was highly likely that they wouldn’t be able to find a spot to park .
“Lead the way!” Chen Guo waved her hands . After knowing that Ye Xiu knew the way, she threw her map into the trash can .
Ye Xiu looked around left and right . He led the two and they soon arrived . The entrance had already been arranged . Amidst the crowd of people, the three quickly entered Samsara’s stadium .
The eSports stadium wasn’t any smaller than a conventional stadium . The biggest difference was that the stage in the middle of the stadium had many, many, many electronic screens .
Those watching the TV and Internet broadcast could only watch as the stream chose the scenes for them . But at the actual location, everyone had their own display screen especially for them . The spectators could choose to watch from all sorts of points of view . There were also slow-motion shots for them to look at . In this type of eSports arena, besides the atmosphere, they could watch from all around, which was something that those, who watching the broadcast, didn’t have access to .
Especially in the team competition, the ten characters were all fighting at different spots on the map . How the broadcast chose the viewpoint really made the internet watchers curious . Only those at the scene could fully appreciate the competition’s brilliance .
