[Now, players, please get ready]
[In this round, we will be using the current draw mode]
[That is, players will draw lots on stage, and whoever they draw will be their opponent]
[As for the next round’s drawer, the previous winner will be the one to decide]
Upon hearing this, many players’ expressions changed slightly.
So, be it the drawer or the drawn, until they’re designated by the previous winner or drawn themselves, they won’t know who their opponent will be.
This is a tad thrilling.
[Hehehe, to a certain extent, this competition format is ant to prevent preparations after confirming an opponent]
[In the city competition later, the confidentiality chanism will be even more complete]
[Until they step up to the card table, players won’t know who their opponent is]
[This will increase the uncertainty of the card ga]
[It will be harder to see a one-sided situation due to counter-cards and increase its watchability]
[However, this chanism will have the most effect only in the early and middle stages of the competition]
Museum Director Phoenix provided a tily explanation from the comntator booth.
[As for the drawer in this ga, let’s just have the organizer designate it]
[Director Thompson, please do the honor]
Afterwards, Rose Cooper called upon Henry Thompson.
"Hehehe, no problem."
Henry Thompson seed to have expected this, standing up with a slight smile from the contestant seats.
"Director Thompson, please show rcy, don’t draw ."
"Don’t draw either."
"Please, Director Thompson."
Even though the drawing is random, many players still pleaded with Henry Thompson to show favor.
"There is no need to be anxious, everyone. Everything has its fixed outco."
Henry Thompson looked at them and pressed his palm downwards.
This deanor was full of seniority.
The drawing device was placed next to the contestant seats and was a glass basin mounted on a stand.
There were 23 capsule balls in the basin, each with the nas of the other contestants written on them.
All the balls’ surfaces and weights were exactly the sa, ensuring a fair drawing.
Thus, Henry Thompson walked over steadily with his hands behind his back.
He grabbed one capsule ball randomly.
Upon opening the ball, he peeked at the na of the opponent inside from an angle only he could see.
Then, Henry Thompson laughed.
"What is Director Thompson laughing about?"
"Could it be that he thinks the opponent he drew is easy to handle?"
"Who’s that unlucky guy?"
"As long as it’s not , it’s fine."
His laughter imdiately unnerved many of the players.
It has to be said that Henry Thompson also knew a bit about creating suspense. After knowing his opponent, he didn’t announce it imdiately.
Instead, he looked around at the other contestants with a smile on his face.
Rose Cooper: [Hahaha, Director Thompson is creating a bit of suspense here]
Phoenix: [I wonder who he actually drew]
At this ti, the director kindly provided a close-up shot.
Whoever Henry Thompson’s gaze fell upon beca quite uneasy.
What’s more, so players even averted their eyes directly.
Even higher-level players such as Greenfeather and Flat Orange had rigid expressions.
After all, being drawn by Henry Thompson equaled being eliminated. This was a consensus among everyone.
Rose Cooper: [Hahaha, it seems everyone is afraid of being drawn by Director Thompson, and the atmosphere is a bit awkward]
Phoenix: [Really? But how co I see a player who is crossing their legs very casually?]
That’s right, among the contestants, there was one person who seed out of place.
That person was the fearless Ree Shil who dared to stare directly at Henry Thompson.
Obviously, he wasn’t afraid of being drawn by him.
(TUI.)
In response, Henry Thompson could only secretly spit in his heart at Ree Shil.
The perfect show-off atmosphere he created was ruined by this guy.
However, the player he drew wasn’t Ree Shil.
"Steel Hoof, young lad, co on out."
Finally, his gaze landed on a humanoid horse player.
The humanoid horse tribe looked very much like horses but walked upright.
"Ah???"
This humanoid horse nad Steel Hoof was first taken aback, then his face fell.
It seems that his selection tournant journey has co to an end.
If nothing unexpected happens next, nothing unexpected will happen indeed.
After 30 minutes, Steel Hoof willingly pressed the surrender button.
Hum...
As the blue light barrier dissipated, the comntator booth also announced the end of this ga.
Rose Cooper: [Let’s congratulate Director Thompson on progressing smoothly to the next round!]
Rose Cooper: [At the sa ti, we have to regretfully say goodbye to player Steel Hoof, whose journey ends here]
Phoenix: [Yes, it was a wonderful card ga, and both sides perford well]
Rose Cooper: [That’s right, it was a hard-fought, neck-and-neck match, leaving us wanting more!]
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the two comntators were just offering superficial praise.
Because everyone could see that, in terms of card deck strength and operations, Henry Thompson genuinely went easy on his opponent and deliberately held back.
Otherwise, Steel Hoof might’ve thrown in the towel 10 minutes earlier.
[Now, let’s have Director Thompson designate the next contestant to draw lots]
Following Rose Cooper’s cue, Henry Thompson took the microphone from the staff.
[Coach Shil, how about you show us so skills?]
Henry Thompson didn’t beat around the bush and directly called out Ree Shil.
"OK."
Ree Shil stood up promptly and walked to the glass basin with big strides.
He directly grabbed a capsule ball and was about to open it.
Just like last ti, the director also provided a wide-angle shot of all contestants this ti.
Rose Cooper: [Wow, it seems like I just saw this scene]
Rose Cooper: [Everyone is scared of being drawn by Ree Shil]
Rose Cooper: [It seems that in the eyes of other players, their evaluation of Coach Shil is not worse than Director Thompson’s]
Phoenix: [Um, is that young lady from the Wingman Clan... praying?]
"Don’t let it be , don’t let it be , don’t let it be ..."
At this point, Greenfeather was whispering with her head bowed, her hands clasped together.
Seeing her reaction, Henry Thompson’s heart felt sowhat sour by her side.
Wait a minute, young lady, when I drew lots just now, I didn’t see you this nervous.
Why does it feel like you’re more afraid of Ree Shil the young lad?
