“Is this real? Why is the entry like this? You got it directly from Alley Leader, right?” Jang Junhyung, a veteran commentator, asked the staff member who had given him the piece of paper about the lineup for PvP.
“We confirmed it several times before we received it. He really intends to do this,” the staff member answered.
This staff member was someone with a lot of experience in e-sports. He had entered the field of e-sports at the same time as Jang Junhyung and was now in the position to manage the venue.
“It might seem good, but... doesn’t it feel a bit empty because there aren’t many games?”
“What do you mean by empty? If they lose three times and win four, isn’t it seven games? It was six games the other day. Rather, this has actually increased.”
“Yes. He has increased it. By the way, Yuri’s coming out too? Isn’t she a priest?” Jang Junhyung’s eyes widened as he carefully read the paper.
Looking closely, there was a strange name—Yuri. There were many words to describe her: the biological younger sister of Streamer Argon, someone who was close to Alley Leader, and the only priest of Crescent Moon.
“A priest? Ah! Right, wasn’t she always a warrior until Arena? There is also no specific rule that she has to play with the same character class.” The staff member shrugged.
He actually liked Crescent Moon’s lineup. It was perfect for gossip; it couldn’t be more controversial.
“Still, there are standards. How long are you just going to look at a showy performance?”
“That’s why there is Alley Leader. Don’t worry too much. You don’t look like your usual light-hearted self. It was the same for your last interview,” the staff member said.
Jang Junhyung relaxed his frown and turned to check the lineup of the other teams.

Crescent Moon’s waiting room was really noisy. There was a shrill voice that seemed like it could pierce Arena Stadium’s roof.
“Oppa! Why am I appearing in PvP?!!” Yuri screamed at Hyeonu for the first time since knowing him.
Her voice was so loud that it wasn’t inferior to Hyeonu’s shouts on the South Pacific island.
“Be quiet. Those outside will hear you,” Hyeonu calmed Yuri down.
His efforts paid off as Yuri drank cold mineral water to calm her excitement.
“It originally wasn’t this week. Didn’t you say it would be after the first half?” Yuri asked in a calm manner as usual.
The reason why Yuri went wild was simple. She knew she was coming out in PvP, but the timing was different from what Hyeonu told her previously.
“I’m not ready yet. It will just be embarrassing if I come out now...” Yuri said.
‘Isn’t it troublesome...?’
If she came to help, she should help. She shouldn’t let him be scolded. That wouldn’t be helping; it was being troublesome.
“What are you worried about? Just go out and experience it once. Just fight comfortably, and come back. This way, you can show your best appearance when your skills have improved properly,” Hyeonu replied. After that, he picked up the water bottle placed on the table and looked at the players sitting around him.
One of the other players was at a loss, and his eyes trembled. Hyeonu added, “This isn’t only for Yuri but also for Dwayne. Dwayne will be the third player to compete in PvP today. Don’t feel burdened and just enjoy it.”
Dwayne was startled when Hyeonu called out to him. Then his expression relaxed as Hyeonu’s words continued. By the time they were over, Dwayne had regained his usual confidence.
Hyeonu stated, “Today’s opponent isn’t a strong team like JT Telecom. These guys were last in the last league and are currently the weakest team of the Korean Arena League. So be confident.”

“It is finally the third match of week 2,” the commentator Jang Junhyung’s voice echoed across Arena Stadium.
“This game is a match between Crescent Moon, which contains Alley Leader who dreams of becoming a royal roader for the winter season, and Ellen Waze, who is dreaming of a reversal!!”
“Crescent Moon has gained momentum since beating JT Telecom, the number one team in the league.”
“Ellen Waze lost to UK Heights in the last match. The encouraging thing is that they are completely different from the last league. Thus, I’m looking forward to today’s match.”
Jang Junhyung and the other broadcasters talked about the game to make the audience and viewers interested. Even so, people didn’t pay attention to their words. They focused only on the screen and the stage. There was only one thing they wanted. It was for Alley Leader, Hyeonu, to emerge.
“The players from both teams will enter! Please welcome everyone with applause and cheers!” Jang Junhyung let the players enter faster than usual as if he read the expectations of the audience members.
There were six Crescent Moon players and 12 Ellen Waze members. Close to 20 people came to the stage at the same time.
“First, let’s greet Ellen Waze!”
Following the commentator’s words, the Ellen Waze players came to the front of the stage to greet the crowd. Some players waved, and others bowed.
Wah!!! The crowd welcomed the Ellen Waze players with a huge burst of cheers. After their greetings, they entered their assigned cubes.
“Next is Crescent Moon!”
