<h4>Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Comedian Ended up Videogame Designer</h4>


    Chen Mo caught a cab to his destination after getting off the train.


    Thispetition was called the Fantasy Cup. Obviously the name was named after the officials, Fantasy Gaming tform. Not only were they a distribution tform, they were way ahead of otherpanies in terms of gaming tournaments as well.


    Although Chairman of Fantasy Gaming tform Ding Xing knew nothing about video game design, he had a good eye for the development of the gaming industry.


    Chen Mo had a little bit of beef with Fantasy Gaming tform as he took some of their user base when Thunderbolt Tabletop directed some of their yers to Fantasy Gaming tform.


    But as they say, temporary enemies mean forever profits. There wasn’t any reason why Ding Xing would give up this opportunity given Warcraft was doing so well. If he could work with Chen Mo, there was no reason for him to burn the bridge.


    Legion Conquest’s professional scene was moving along quite smoothly as most of the bigger esports clubs had ns to acquire pro yers. However, the release of Warcraft put a wrench into the ns. Many clubs have decided to reassess the situation before acting as there very well could be only one survivor from this altercation.


    Wouldn’t it be sad if the game was dead two months after the Legion Conquest team was acquired?


    As Warcraft had its own ranking and rey system, the different skill levels were very clear cut. There were even a few pro yers who had gained poprity on a rey website, so the requirements for hosting a tournament were already met.


    This offline tournament was hosted in Magic City, meaning that the yers and special guests had to go to Magic City to attend. However, as the tournament was of a smaller variety there was no live audience and the games would be streamed.


    As Chen Mo arrived at his destination there was a representative who led him to his hotel as well as some documents going over the format of the tournament.


    Eight of the higher ranked yers were invited to this Warcraft tournament. yers like Goph, Nightwind, and Digwa who have yed against Chen Mo on thedder were there too.


    All the matches were best of three, straight into yoffs. The tournament would start from the top eight, then quarterfinals, semi-finals, then finals. There wasn’t a lower bracket or repechage. As it was a smaller tournament, there wasn’t a need to go through all that trouble.


    The tournament spanned over two days. The first day consisted of the top eight, and the quarter finals, third ce, and finals were hosted on the second day. The champion would get five hundred thousand RMB cash prize, two hundred thousand for second, ten thousand for third.


    The prize money was a good amount. Furthermore it was fully livestreamed, and the pros from all over the country would battle it out over BO3, so these yers took it quite seriously.


    Chen Mo’smentating partner was a professional called Zhang Yang. He casted a few games before and was known for his quick thinking and his ability to control the flow.


    Other than paying for his transport, food and aodation, the officials also paid Chen Mo an extra fifty thousand RMB fee. Chen Mo was a special guest afterall, they couldn’t pay him the usual rate.


    Chen Mo’smentary was a gimmick more than anything, as having the designer or Warcraft to providementary must attract a lot of viewers!


    Of course, the officials were worried that Chen Mo would get off topic as he didn’t have any experience inmentating, which was why Zhang Yang was assigned as his partner to control the flow of the conversation. Chen Mo was responsible for professional analysis in this duo.


    Chen Mo felt that this was a good opportunity to promote his game. Moreover he had nevermented before, it would be a good experience and an opportunity to show his face to the fans.


    Thepetitors had arrived and the machines were being checked.


    Zhang Yang walked over to greet Chen Mo, “Nice to meet you Mr Chen.”


    Chen Mo couldn’t help but think of a certain photographer with the samest name from his previous life, “D-don’t call me Mr. Chen, it reminds me of a certain someone.”


    “Huh?”


    Chen Mo waved his head, “Don’t worry about it, call me by my whole name, don’t leave out the word ‘Mo’”.


    Zhang Yangughed, “Sure. You’re a professional video game designer after all, pleased to be in your presence.”


    Chen Moughed too, “Geez, what professional video game designer. We’re bothmentators today, we’re partners.”


    Zhang Yang nodded, “Yep, seems like you’re fitting in well. Let’s go test out the equipment.”


    Zhang Yang cooperated with the officials sto test the equipment. Chen Mo didn’t need to do anything as they were all handled by professionals. Chen After the preparations wereplete, Chen Mo did a quick mic test to make sure everything worked.


    Zhang Yang looked at the stream from his phone, it hadn’t even been officially live, and the stream was still ck too.


    But it turned out that there were two hundred thousand viewers on the stream already.


    “Yo, there are quite a few viewers today. The tournament hadn’t even started and there were already close to two hundred thousand viewers. It would probably reach seven or eight hundred thousand viewers.


    The users in chat were talking to one another.


    “Why hasn’t it started! Hurry up!”


    “I heard Chen Mo will make an appearance today?”


    “Who’s Chen Mo?”


    “He’s Warcraft’s Designer!”


    “Really? Why is he here?”


    “Tomentate!”


    “Wow, then there might be something to today’spetition. The videogame designer must have better insight and average right? Let’s see what he sayster.”


    “Wonder if Chen Mo even ys his own game. Who knows what he’ll provide to the stream? Maybe he’s not even over two thousand points.”


    “Maybe, maybe video game designers can’t y games at all.”


    Zhang Yangughed, “It seems like the viewers are looking forward to this. It’s about to start, look into the camera.”


    The stream had started.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wee to Fantasy Cup Warcraft invitationals hosted by Fantasy Gaming tform. I’m your caster Zhang Yang,” said Zhang Yang.


    Chen Mo followed suit, “I’m Chen Mo.”


    The audience was shocked, that’s Chen Mo? He’s much younger than i imagined!


    It was the first time most of the audience had seen Chen Mo. Most wouldn’t care who the designer of the game was when they yed the game anyways.


    Zhang Yang said, “This is Chen Mo’s first time casting. I can see that the chat is being very nice and giving Chen Mo tons of love.”


    Chen Mo said, “Really? Let me take a look. It looks like most are spamming: Chen Mo refund my hard earned money.”


    Zhang Yangughed, it seemed like Chen Mo was quite good at gags, he must’ve done this before!


    “Mr Chen Mo, you’re pretty good at cracking jokes!” Zhang Yang saidughing.


    Chen Mo waved his hand, “No no no, I thought we’ve talked about this Mr. Chen Mo thing before this!”


    “What could I call you by?”


    Chen Mo replied, “Maybe, Designer Chen, I’m a videogame designer afterall.”


    The viewers wereughing, weren’t they supposed tomentate? This feels like aic sketch!


    Zhang Yang was speechless, “That’s still undermining your efforts. Alright I’ll just call you Mr Chen Mo.”


    Chen Mo replied, “That was just a joke that’s supposed to ease up the atmosphere. It’s also my first timementating today. I’m honoured to be paired with Mr Zhang Yang.”


    The chat couldn’t help butined, “How could this be your first time? You must’ve done this before, you seem so at home with this!”
