In response to those comments …
Seeing this, Liu Zilang laughed it off.
As a former opponent, he knew what kind of monster he would be facing in this world tournament.
Liu Zilang did not have the confidence to win.
However, he knew that even a monster was not invincible.
Before the international tournament in California, Liu Zilang applied for a week's leave from his counselor.
For example, the counselor of Jianghai University had no authority to approve such a long leave.
Fortunately, Liu Zilang had recently become "famous" and the universities were now promoting diversity in their students.
After knowing that he would be representing Asia in the tournament in California, the leaders of the university "summoned" Liu Zilang to encourage him to fight hard and win glory for the university.
The University of Jianghai would not be a hindrance to him.
Instead, it would always be his strong support …
Look at their standards … They almost thought that Liu Zilang was moved to tears.
After taking care of the leave, 4AM managed to get their visas for the tournament with the help of Tencent.
As for Liu Zilang's family, the team members for California had also been decided.
Due to her studies, Zhang Xiaotong could only watch the tournament from home. On the other hand, Wang Qianqian and Misaka Mikoto became the "accompanying cheerleaders" for the tournament.
Two days later.
The representatives of Asia — 4AM, IG, and Se7en — met at Jianghai International Airport.
"Da da da!"
As soon as the three squads met, the players from IG and Se7en stared blankly at the members of 4AM who were all wearing different types of slippers. Their eyes twitched uncontrollably.
'Are they going on a f * cking vacation?'
Since the tickets were booked by the officials, the three teams sat on the same plane.
Other than a small number of tourists, the three teams were almost like chartering a plane.
Before the plane took off, Long Shenjue explained the tournament's rules and schedule in detail.
Just like the Asia invitational tournament …
The tournament was also divided into three days.
However, the order was reversed. It was a squad match, a duo match, and a solo match.
Furthermore, there were some adjustments to the tournament rules.
First of all, the competition mode had changed from TPP (third-person perspective) to FPP (first-person perspective). That was because European players were more used to the latter. The World Invitational Tournament held in California this time could be considered to be "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" to a certain extent.
There was also a change in the competition system.
His PUBG points had dropped from 500 points in the Asian Cup to 300 points, and his kill points had dropped from 15 points to 10 points?
Although it looked like the two had decreased at the same time, in reality, it was equivalent to indirectly increasing the proportion of kill points.
This would undoubtedly make the collisions during the competition more intense, which would also increase the viewing value of this World Competition.
One last point.
In order to increase the intensity of the competition.
In this World Tournament, there was a rule: Players who were eliminated were not allowed to stay in their seats to give instructions to their teammates. They had to leave the stage immediately.
In this way, the competition had undoubtedly become somewhat cruel.
Try to imagine …
100 contestants stepped onto the stage. As time passed, they were eliminated one by one.
The loser can only walk down the stage alone.
Until there was only one person left.
This chaotic, cruel, dystopian image …
Just thinking about it was enough to make one's scalp tingle!
Long Shenjue's introduction ended there.
Everyone's breathing quickened. Even Liu Zilang could not help but tighten his grip on the shoulder strap of the backpack on his knees.
After explaining the competition system and schedule, Long Shenjue once again introduced the participating teams.
Although 4AM, IG, and Se7en were the champions of the Asian Qualifier, they were not the only Asian teams participating.
However, in reality, these Asian teams were not the only ones participating in the tournament this time. For example, the club sponsored by Korea's OGN League, ACE, did not participate in the Asian Qualifiers, but they had obtained a spot in the World Tournament through other tournaments.
There was also Southeast Asia's Gold and Taiwan's famous powerhouse club AHQ. They had obtained a spot in this World Tournament from other continents.
In other words …
There were a total of six teams from the Asian region participating in this tournament.
Other than that, the other teams were:
Oceania: Athletico, Savage, Windfall.
Commonwealth of Independent States: Vega, AVANGAR, Knights.
Europe: Liquid, FaZe, Team.
Vitality，Gates。
South America: Luminosity, Tempo.
Storm, Underhoosd, Navi.
North America: Team.
Solomid, Cloud9, Ghost.
Gaming, SKK.
In total, there were twenty-four teams and ninety-six players participating in this World Tournament in California.
Looking at the distribution of the players, the European and American teams that had taken up twelve slots had undoubtedly taken up half of the competition. This also indirectly demonstrated the strong dominance of the European and American teams in the FPS field.
On the other hand, the North American team, SKK, was made up of FPS "God" level players. They were like a mountain weighing down on the hearts of all the teams in this tournament.
Long Shenjue looked at the notes that he had prepared in advance and emphasized the content of this tournament. Soon, the flight attendants on the plane came over to remind them.
The plane was about to take off.
They asked everyone to pack their things and get ready.
Liu Zilang was startled when he heard this.
After hesitating for a while, he stood up and put the backpack that he had been carrying on his back.
He carefully placed it in the overhead compartment.
Li Muqiu, who was sitting in front of him, was also stuffing things into the luggage compartment. He was curious when he saw Liu Zilang's careful movements.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
He immediately realized what was going on.
Therefore, Li Muqiu sneakily moved his head closer to Liu Zilang's ear with a gay look on his face.
He asked softly, "Did you … bring that?"
Liu Zilang felt a warm breath beside his ear.
Liu Zilang was so shocked that he almost shivered!
He quickly pushed the backpack into the luggage compartment and shut the door tightly. He looked at Li Muqiu cautiously. "What are you talking about?"
"That's right!"
"What?"
“.....”
Li Muqiu pouted when he saw that Liu Zilang was determined to play dumb. "Tsk!
Stingy!
It's not like I'll break you if you lend it to me. "
Liu Zilang suppressed his anger when he heard this. "You said the same thing a year ago. But did you know that when it took us half a month to send it back to the factory in Germany, the maintenance staff cried when they saw the keyboard?"
"It was an accident … It wasn't a pure accident …"
Li Muqiu was instantly speechless when he heard Liu Zilang's words.
The next thirteen hours of travel passed.
When Liu Zilang and the others woke up with blindfolds on, they were already in a foreign country.
The plane landed in an airport in California.
The three teams were quickly arranged by the officials to check into hotels and settle down.
