'X The League' has teased an intense 'Round 1 showdown'.

In the second episode of ENA's 'X The League' (X The League), airing on the 9th in the afternoon, co-hosts Tiffany Young of Girls' Generation and BamBam of GOT7 will announce the first main mission, 'Ranking Order', as 40 global sellers compete solely based on sales figures in a 'Selling War' representing their respective countries.

On this day, Tiffany Young stated, "The preliminary scouting matches for national top sellers are over," and announced that the first Round 1 mission is 'Ranking Order', where the winner will be determined by the highest sales volume. She further explained, "Without any other conditions, rankings from first to eighth place will be decided entirely by each country's total sales at 100%," stirring up excitement on set.

Hearing this, Ki Eun-se, captain of the Korean team and a first-generation influencer, remarked with tension, "Ranking Order? The world is indeed a class society no matter where you go." Meanwhile, Sang-eun Unnie, the '17-year beauty trendsetter' of the Korean team, declared with determination, "It's cruel. But we must survive."

Noh Hee-young, 'owner' of the Korean team who tied for third place in the preliminary scouting matches alongside Japan, and Kade, 'captain' of the U.S. team who secured first place alone in the same phase, both show strong competitive spirit for first place in Round 1. Noh Hee-young firmly stated, "This is a commerce war. Naturally, I believe sales reflect one's character." Kade, who won first place in the pre-mission and earned the '5% sales steal right', confidently smiled, saying, "Numbers don't lie. Once sales come out, we'll know who's truly the best."

Amidst a tense standoff, an enormous showroom featuring over 200 brands is revealed under dazzling lights. The sellers exclaim in awe: "This is amazing!", "It feels like a dream world," and "Every brand imaginable is here!" With product lines ranging from 'K-Beauty' items to health supplements, home appliances, and fashion, each country begins selecting their signature products to formulate strategies.

The 'Korea-Japan Match', pitting the national pride of South Korea and Japan who tied for third place in the pre-mission, becomes a key viewing point for Round 1. As the Korean team contemplates its winning move, Kang Style-ist, an influencer with annual sales of 25 billion won, vows, "I feel like I've truly become a national representative. For Round 1, it's all about momentum. We must start in the top ranks." Meanwhile, the Japanese team carefully selects products one by one after intense deliberation. In particular, Japanese team captain Sana declares with determination, "Since I'm representing Japan, I will do my best."

In contrast, an unusual atmosphere is detected within the Vietnamese team. During product selection, 'team owner' Taing Thuy Nguyen and 'team captain' Viet Anh clashed over opposing opinions. Unable to find common ground, Viet Anh abruptly ended the conversation and left the scene. With internal conflict escalating, questions arise as to whether they can overcome this crisis. Additionally, teams from Thailand, Indonesia, China, and six other nations—totaling nine countries and eight teams—are preparing their own sales strategies, promising a distinctive selling competition reflecting each country's unique character.

Attention is now focused on which nation will rise to the 'peak of the pyramid' with the highest sales in the first main mission, 'Ranking Order'.

The second episode of 'X The League', the world's first global e-commerce national competition, can be viewed at 7:50 p.m. on the 9th.
