Chapter 435: 435
Fang Zhao couldn't tell anyone except Nanfeng and the other two about him participating in the Fiery Bird All-star Match as a special guest .
Nanfeng was especially delighted upon receiving this news . If it hadn't been confidential, he would have bragged about it to his friends . Only those god level players could snag a special guest invite to participate in the All-star Match . He had thought that Fang Zhao would only show himself in public after officially graduating, but there was a chance now!
"There are still a few days before the date set by Fiery Bird . I will still be staying in school before that . Venerable Mo has left me some tasks," Fang Zhao said .
"Don't worry boss, I will arrange everything," Nanfeng pledged repeatedly . "We definitely won't leak this news!"
Beside him, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao also expressed that they would absolutely keep it a secret .
Fang Zhao believed them in this aspect . Thus, after the travel arrangements were done, Fang Zhao continued with his preparation for his graduation concert . Fang Zhao had completed his dissertation, so the next task would be the concert .
Fang Zhao's movements after his dissertation defense had been photographed by a number of paparazzi that were camping at HuangArt . Sometimes, Fang Zhao would also be photographed outside Mo Lang's residence . Thus, it seemed very unlikely to many that Fang Zhao would appear at the All-star Match .
In the entertainment circle, if a celebrity didn't make the news for half a year, they would gradually become the content of stories and myths .
Fang Zhao was one of these people . However, unlike the majority of retired gaming gods, Fang Zhao was still rather active outside the gaming circles . People still frequently saw news concerning him, even if it was in a different industry . An esports reviewer had once said that Fang Zhao was "a shooting star that passed by and left to pursue the musical arts . "
Point-sweeping demon? That was something a long time ago and had now become folklore . Now, people could only watch and worship past videos .
Fiery Bird All-star Match competition grounds .
Minor games were essentially treated as warm-up on days one and two . As more "Battle of the Century" gaming gods arrived, attention on the All-star Match rose . Many film and entertainment celebrities also showed up to take advantage of the hype .
Now, the most-discussed subject was who the special guests invited by Fiery Bird would be this time . On Fiery Bird's official All-star Match web page, there were twelve grayed out silhouettes of the special guests .
Jinro had also discussed this with his teammates .
"Somebody said they saw Rex show up in person at Fiery Bird HQ, but they didn't have enough time to snap a photo," Schwarzer said while browsing through news online .
When a certain older coach heard this, he said with a reminiscing smile, "Rex was my idol! Back then, he lit up the entire scene during my secondary school days . By the time I entered the professional circles, R-god had already retired from competitive gaming . "
"Forget about R-god . Someone managed to snap a photo of Bin-god! Didn't Bin-god retire from the gaming circles to become a stay-at-home dad and look after his kid?" Schwarzer was slightly unfamiliar with the names of these old-time gaming gods . When these gamer gods had been prominent, Schwarzer had yet to be born .
Jinro knew a little more about this person . "Dabin becoming a stay-home dad was over ten years ago . Now, he is more like a stay-home coach and supporter . His son is an exceptionally talented kid and is not at all inferior to Dabin . Wait another five years! He will enter the professional circles and shoot straight up . "
"15 years ago he was beating his son, now 15 years later he is getting beat by his son . " Schwarzer couldn't help but chuckle .
Regardless of what sort of lifestyle these people had after retiring professionally, they still were representatives of their generation . People associated them with various melancholic sentiments .
Fiery Bird was quite successful in capitalizing on the fans' nostalgia .
As they continued chatting, a few of them received a new notification .
"Let's go, time to draw lots . "
Jinro and the other Silverlight members went to the designated venue to draw lots . The various gaming gods from all twelve continents would be scheduled according to the number they drew .
"Nine?" Jinro was beaming . "Good number! It's my lucky number!"
Beside him, Schwarzer moaned . "One! How am I so unlucky!"
Number one was the first to compete in the special guest match .
