<h4>Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Showmatch</h4>


    It was alright during the first match, but during the second and third match, Chen Mo never stopped talking and always pointed out any mistakes the yers made, angering some of the fans.


    “My goodness, it’s gone! He really does dare to criticise anybody!”


    “It’s fine if you point out the mistakes of the loser, but picking out mistakes from the winner too?”


    “Wow, I finally realised what Captain Hindsight means!”


    “I really want to tell him to y if he’s so good at the game!”


    Of course there were many who were standing by Chen Mo.


    “Braindead fans out!”


    “Can’t you just listen to thementary? Did Chen Mo say anything wrong? He’s the developer, wouldn’t his game knowledge be much better than you keyboard warriors?”


    “Another ‘You y if you’re so good’. Do I need to be able to cool things down before I review a fridge?”


    “If you don’t wanna listen to him, just mute the stream! Nobody is forcing you!”


    “You’re doing great Chen Mo! Don’t listen to these haters!”


    Soon, the two opposing sides of chat started going at each other’s throat.


    The majority of the yers stood by Chen Mo, but the people against it had strong will and never gave up.


    During break time, a member of staff spoke to Chen Mo.


    “Mr Chen Mo, I’ve got something to discuss. There are many in chat who are saying that you’re too good andmentating and started arguing. Could you tone it down a bit in the future matches?”


    Chen Moughed, “I understand your concern. I’ve looked at chat and I know where I’m at. Moreover, wouldn’t this tournament be more popr if more were talking about it? This is a good thing for you guys too.”


    The staff was a bit hesitant, “So Mr Chen Mo, there’s a showmatch tomorrow when the tournament finishes. You’re supposed to y against the winner of the tournament.”


    Chen Mo was shocked, “Huh??”


    The staff exined, “Of course we won’t get the champion to y against you at full strength. We thought about getting them to only use the mouse to y against you. It’s for entertainment purposes afterall. Do you understand what I mean?”


    Chen Mo nodded.


    The organisers nned a showmatch for entertainment, by having Chen Mo y a game. The viewers would probably want to watch the videogame designer y their own game.


    Of course there could be a discrepancy between the skill level of the yers, which was why the winner would only use a mouse, making it a bit more entertaining.


    But after all the arguments in chat, the showmatch got more interesting.


    Many of the viewers felt that Chen Mo was Captain Obvious, although his analysis was good, there was no way he could be good at the game. How awkward it would be if Chen Mo lost to the winner who’d y with one hand.


    Nobody but himself would be to me if he lost!


    The staff said, “How about this, you go ahead with what you’re doing, and I’ll get the organisers to cancel the showmatch tomorrow. It wasn’t anything important anyways.”


    Chen Mo shook his head, “Don’t, how could we do that? Don’t worry, the match will be my concern, the show will go on.”


    The staff was shocked, What does this mean? Was he confident in his abilities?


    Obviously they didn’t know how good Chen Mo was, but he couldn’t be bad seeing how confident he was. It should be a big deal when he would y against the champion.


    The staff nodded, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”


    The tournament continued. Chen Mo didn’t make any changes and continued speaking his mind,pletely ignoring what was going on in the chat.


    Zhang Yang even felt bad for Chen Mo, thinking that he didn’t know how bad the haters were!


    The tournament went on quite smoothly, the yers were ying seriously and Chen Mo’smentary was very insightful. The viewers are more than happy to watch it.


    The organisers were also quite satisfied as the money spent on Chen Mo was well spent!


    Of course there was a vocal, unhappy minority. But the organisers didn’t see it as a big problem as Chen Mo acknowledged and approved of it himself.


    The tournament continued on the second day.


    The quarter finals, third ce match and finals had the viewers going crazy. In the end, Goph outskilled Digwa to win the tournament.


    “Alright, let us congratte Goph for being the champion of this Fantasy Cup! He will receive five hundred thousand in prize money, congrattions!” announced Zhang Yang


    The chat was also incredibly supportive.


    “Goph-god!”


    “King of Orcs! Long live the king!”


    “Let’s go Orcs!”


    “Geez, that’s too bad! If Digwa didn’t make a mistake in picking mines, he probably would’ve won!”


    “This tournament was so enjoyable to watch! Warcraft is much more entertaining to watch than Legion Conquest!”


    “Watch this makes me want to y ranked!”


    “By the way, don’t leave now as thepetition is not finished. Yes, up next will be a very entertaining showmatch!” said Zhang Yang


    The audience were shocked. Showmatch? What show?


    “This showmatch will be a matchup between our champion Goph against the designer of Warcraft and my partner, Mr Chen Mo!” announced Zhang Yang.


    The chat went wild following this announcement!


    “What? Chen Mo is ying the showmatch? Against Goph?!”


    “What’s the point. Goph has four thousand something points, wouldn’t he just bully Chen Mo?”


    “Maybe not, Chen Mo has really good game knowledge.”


    “What good is game knowledge going to do. The game depends on execution and hand-speed. Wouldn’t Goph stomp all over Chen Mo? What is the organisers nning?”


    “Hahaha, we were just talking about Captain Obvious Chen Mo. He’s good at pointing out mistakes, lets see how he does in a match.”


    “Wow, I’m amazed that Chen Mo epted it! Is he underestimated the strength of his opponent?”


    As the chat was discussing, Chen Mo was already sat at aputer ready to y.


    “Alright, as it’s a showmatch, Goph will have to y with one hand. That means Goph can only use his mouse, no keyboard.” exined Zhang Yang.


    The chat went wild yet again.


    “Like I said, Goph would stomp Chen Mo if he yed seriously. ying one-handed is more like it!”


    “Wow, that’s kind of insulting, only one hand?”


    “But I still think Goph will win!”


    “Hahaha, how bad would Chen Mo feel if Goph won one handed!”


    “It’s hard to tell, I think he couldst a little bit?”


    Before the chat calmed down, Zhang Yang held onto his earpiece and was shocked.


    Zhang Yang continued after thirty seconds, “Alright, I just got the message from the producer. Mr Chen Mo is asking Goph to y with both hands. To be honest, I’m surprised to hear that message. I won’t say much more, let’s look forward for the showmatch!”


    The chat took a quick 180. There were a few people being condescending at the start, but the chat was filled with “LOL” and “???” when Zhang Yang was finished.


    “Chen Mo is asking for Goph to y with both hands?”


    “Hah, that’s incredible. Maybe he thinks it would be too embarrassing if he lost to him single-handed, which is why he requested two hands?”


    “Hahaha, this’ll be good. Let’s go Goph! Bring down Captain Obvious!”
