It was considered a type of fan service and gimmick of sorts.
As expected, along with the emcee's voice, the crowd started stirring. Everyone had an excited expression on their faces as they took out their phones to scan the QR code on the screen.
Some of them even started teaming up on the spot as needed more people to get a full team of five. However, it was not difficult for them to form teams as everyone there were fans of the game.
"OMG, we get to fight with the hosts! Wonderful! We've got a team of five if we all sign up. Let's give it a try!" Without hesitation, Xiang took out his phone to scan the code.
"Aiya, what if we're picked? I'm a little embarrassed to play DOTA in front of so many people," said Hao Jian with a grin.
As the excitement from the crowd toned down, the emcee finally continued, "Next, please welcome our second goddess onto the stage. She's blessed with beauty and talent, the one with a sweet moving voice, Wu'er!"
