The SE new handheld console launch, which was scheduled for a week ahead of the competition, was set for tonight at eight o'clock.
As soon as the news was out, it was like a heavy bomb had been dropped on the gaming circle, spreading like a virus.
The trending searches started to surge gradually.
Due to the sudden announcement, major domestic live streaming platforms began to urgently contact SE to secure broadcasting rights and provide real-time translated subtitles.
Within the player community, a wave of heated debate ensued.
In reality, SE's handheld console launch events in past years were only moderately followed in Neon itself.
The Silver Brilliance Division had to spend extra to promote it in the Huaxia Nation region.
But this year, clashing with a rising star like Top Player, the attention level was maxed out.
The entire East Asian gaming circle, and even some players in South Asia and the West, had heard about the event.
