Yu Luocheng watched Zhao Tinghua with a frown. He hadn't expected him to bring a personal grudge into this event.

He had to admit, though: It was a brilliant move.

The title of world champion was one you had to fight for. Whenever the current champion was challenged, the duel ought to be carried out in public view. If the challenger proved victorious, he could approach the International E-Sports Federation to register himself as the new world champion of gaming.

Naturally, this registration process was very complicated. You couldn't lose the title just because of one game. However, the Federation had made the option available in order to keep the reigning champion under tremendous pressure, while at the same time providing a goal for everyone else to strive towards.
