--------------------------
Kacey Musgraves, the next musical artist, was born and raised in Texas, so the crowd naturally welcod her with ecstatic applause.
She perford three songs from her latest studio album before the third ga between Evil Geniuses and Cloud9 began.
Arteezy was singled out by the enemy team during the second ga, forcing him to farm the jungle and ultimately losing the mid-lane to the tenured APL pro, Doublelift, who transferred from TeamSoloMid to Cloud9 during the sumr off-season.
The young EG mid-player couldn't farm enough gold and experience to unlock more powerful traits at the opportune monts and eventually lost the ga at the 28th-minute mark.
The event host, local actor Matthew McConaughey, took to the stage as he welcod the last musical feature of the night, the multi-talented showman, Bruno Mars.
Everyone who appreciated western music bopped to his songs like "Treasure" and "Locked out of Heaven" as the crowd followed Bruno Mars in singing the chorus.
The wide-format projection behind the stage lit up to add flair to each performance, but his background video was the best so far by spending ti working with Future Studios as a perfectionist. His thirty-minute performance was a magical experience, complented by pure charisma and charm.
The ten-minute show break was most welco, considering the night's final ga lasted a full hour of bitter cobacks.
EG's support players adapted to Cloud9's strategy and utilized resources in the first five minutes of the ga to protect Arteezy from enemy harassnt.
The strategy on both sides prolonged the match until both Doublelift and Arteezy were powerful enough to end the grueling ga.
Cloud9 ford up and attempted to capture a buyback respawn point near EG's ho base under a utility skill [Shadow Fog]. Arteezy was farming neutral units in the vicinity until a capture alert notified his team of the situation. Then, he looked on the mini-map and quickly calculated how long supports would arrive to help and aggressively used [Sword Whirlwind] over the terrain to contest the objective.
Cloud9 couldn't believe Arteezy would fight alone as he focused on damaging Doublelift while evading enemy lockdown abilities with utility skills and items.
One EG support cast [Holy Light] on his teammate and saved his reckless ass in the nick of ti while fighting two versus five for a few seconds before Doublelift succumbed to Arteezy's swords.
The teammate fight was a slaughter as Cloud9 couldn't output enough damage to the nurous full-health players joining the battle before the fight ended with no one left on their side and losing the inaugural match of the APL Season 4.
The crowd went wild after a long and stressful. Yet, thrilling last ga, and even the non-APL fans who attended only for the musical performances were enamored by the competitive video ga.
After signing him for an absurd amount of money over the off-season, the young phenom imdiately earned his team a welco bonus of $5 million Bitcash.
McConaughey closed out the show by saying, "I'm no gar, but that was one hell of a match, am I right? Future Studios hopes everyone had a wonderful experience tonight, but we'll be back for more music and APL action. Enjoy your weekend stay in the City of Tomorrow!"
Businesses around the campus and Sixth Street provided goods and services to nurous tourists throughout the night, pouring out of the stadium.
The Digital Den hosted an after-party on the VIP floor, where higher-ranking Future Tech employees could socialize with professional players and musical artists.
Vince and Hailee attended the party for an hour as a courtesy and spent ti with his friends, fellow executives, and the new additions to Future Record's artist roster.
Kacey Musgraves was lovely as ever while speaking to Leah, Heidi, and Alexis. Bruno Mars entertained Andreas, Dollar, and Patel at the bar with his antics.
The young couple joined their friends at a rowdy table with Post Malone downing two beers as a dare from Kyle.
Though, they didn't stay long because Hailee wanted to be one hundred percent for her first live concert performance on Sunday.
---------------
The following day, the city visitors and locals were either hungover from partying the night prior or ready for the upcoming hours of pure entertainnt again.
The Sunday event was similar in format but featured a match between Pri Alliance versus FaZe Clan.
But the show started with a ten-minute exhibition submission grappling match between the "Pride of Austin", Tom Fury, and Marcus "Buchecha" Alida, the absolute weight IBJJF World Champion.
They treated the audience with technical finesse as both fighters mixed offense and defense, attempting to submit each other within the ti limit.
Buchecha was a hulk of a man and used it to his advantage in all his bouts, but Tom Fury was equally large.
mbers of the audience who knew nothing about grappling nor mixed martial arts appreciated the beauty in their movents, rolling through dummy sweeps, passing each other's guards, and countering submission attempts until the ten-minute bell rang.
It ended in a draw, but the crowd cheered as if their hotown hero won, appreciating the entertaining close fight before the first musical number began.
Hailee dramatically entered the stage behind a thick layer of fog, wearing a custom Future Couture outfit ant for her performance.
She perford "Starving", "Most Girls", and her most popular track so far, "Party Pop". The audience loved the visuals in the background that accompanied her singing and dancing, as she felt the rush of a live concert for the first ti.
Hailee received a standing ovation from all her adoring local and tourist fans from around the United States present in the stadium.
After a few minutes, she returned to the VIP box with plenty of praise waiting for her from Alice and the others.
The APL match began after a short intermission, as Pri Alliance fans chanted "Fortis" while the players entered their gaming booths.
FaZe Clan was the second-best team in North Arican APL season 3, and it looked like their roster changes didn't do much to increase their winning odds against their bitter rival.
Pri Alliance was the favorite based on the BitCash betting platform for a good reason. Fortis had fought mbers of FaZe Clan in Arena and Battlegrounds for almost two years now and knew exactly how to dismantle their strategies.
Pri Alliance won the first ga without issue and took a break while BTS perford for the Arican and South Korean fans.
The Bangtan Boys weren't intimidated by the massive crowd but relished in it instead. Their shared dream was to perform on a stage like the Texas morial Stadium with over 100,000 people in attendance and deliver their best effort.
NetServ's Digital dia Unique Tags (DMUT) trics accounted for the free concurrent viewer numbers across all electronic devices supporting network connectivity.
The Indian comntary broadcast garnered 150 million viewers, the Spanish and Portuguese versions had 100 million, the South Korean version had 20 million while the English broadcast which was translated by Infi-AI for the smaller countries without dedicated language comntary had 250 million.
The APL Weekend Bash boasted 520 million in total, around 10% more concurrent viewers than the previous night.
The second ga began, and it quickly beca apparent FaZe Clan couldn't provide an answer to the war machine called Pri Alliance.
It was a short bloodbath, ending in twenty-five minutes. Fortis graciously accepted the $5 million Bitcash on behalf of his team and thanked the Austin crowd for their support.
The loud cheering from the audience slowly turned to silence as Ariana Grande perford the last musical number of the event.
Hip-hop enjoyers were up for a surprise as Ariana was joined by Big Sean and Mac Miller as they sang "Right There" and "The Way".
Ariana Grande wouldn't be outdone by Bruno Mar's finale the previous night, and eventually persuaded everyone to sing and dance along.
She ended the night singing a track on her new album, "Break Free", before preview trailers for the Everlife Expansion, War Online update, and Infinity Channel played on the wide-format screen as a bit of promotion at the end of the show.
It was a great success as the audience mbers remained excited as they systematically exited the stadium.
The Sunday night after-party was held at the Dalton Manor where Chef Tony and his cooking staff prepared a Texas buffet for the players and musical artists.
Aiya contracted a local DJ to provide background music during the party and prepared table arrangents in the manor's backyard.
Multiple CAVs dispatched by Future Tech transported the guests to Barton Creek, bypassing the heavy foot and car traffic easily.
Experiencing the Dalton Manner in person was much more enchanting compared to simply watching a music video, as the guests were in awe of its majesty after disembarking the AVs.
Any doubtful thoughts of Vince Dalton's wealth were squashed as he amicably said, "Thanks for joining us, everyone. Welco to my manor. Feel free to enjoy the anities like the pool, hedge maze, aquaponics garden, or whatever.. The food will be ready in fifteen minutes."
