The quarter-finals of the Shadow Ranking Cup was about to start but before it happened the matchups for the upcoming fights needed to be decided. And all of the quarter-finalists were currently gathered in a single place. They were standing on the stage in front of the in-game reporters.
Originally, the tournament organizers wanted to have a live audience for the draw lots of the matchups. But they immediately rejected the idea the moment they realized how famous these players were in the game.
Having a lot of audiences was quite good, but they were afraid that they couldn't handle the number of players who were going to attend. And if they limit the numbers of the attendees, they were afraid that the players who failed to attend were going to raise a revolt.
