'Cunning!
'Too cunning!'
After hanging up, Liu Zilang cursed in his heart!
Fortunately, the organizer of the tournament had stipulated that 'non-professional players in the tournament'. That was why Liu Zilang had a backup player as his partner.
'That's right!
She's a former Japanese professional player who's currently on vacation, a super energetic girl cum esports mascot … '
'Misaka Mikoto!'
After returning to the hotel, Liu Zilang looked for Misaka Mikoto and brought up the matter.
Duang!
Misaka Mikoto felt as if happiness had fallen from the sky onto her head. She felt dizzy …
She clenched her fists as her eyes lit up. "Shifu!
I … Can I participate in the world tournament too? "
"Ahem!
It's not a world tournament, it's just an exhibition match, "Liu Zilang said.
"Mmm mmm!
Shifu, don't worry!
I'll do my best! "Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists.
"It's fine, it's fine. Don't feel pressured. Just play as you please," Liu Zilang said.
"Mmm mmm!
Shifu, don't worry!
I'll do my best! "Misaka Mikoto continued clenching her fists.
Liu Zilang was speechless.
The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at Misaka Mikoto who was full of fighting spirit and energy. He wondered if his silly disciple heard him.
'Or …
'Is human nature a repeater?'
.....
The night passed by in the blink of an eye.
At noon the next day, Liu Zilang and the other two squads took the bus to the Colt Arena in downtown California.
Although there was no individual prize for the charity tournament, there was a nominal prize of one million US dollars.
After the tournament, the one million US dollars would be donated to charities in need around the world in the name of the top three players.
When the long line of spectators outside the stadium flooded in through the passageway, gradually filling up the entire stadium.
Not long after, streamers and professional players from many countries and regions were the first to appear on the stage!
Cheers and screams could be heard in the arena. These people were all first-tier streamers from Europe and America.
For example, Ninja, Guru G, Chocotaco, Big Beard, and others … Even Evermore, Sexypig, and Kim Doohwan who were eliminated in the Asian qualifiers were invited to participate. There were even a few famous actors from California who were PUBG fans.
With so many people gathered on the stage, the atmosphere was immediately filled with stars. It looked like the world's largest offline gathering of PUBG streamers.
In the crowd on the stage.
Misaka Mikoto, who was wearing a black hoodie, hugged her backpack in front of her. She stood carefully among the crowd and did not stand out at all.
She stuck her head out and looked around. When she heard the cheers from the crowd, she couldn't help but giggle in her heart!
Although Misaka Mikoto had joined a professional team for quite some time, the sad thing was that she had never made it out of Asia …
'Uh … Sometimes I don't even get out of Japan …'
Therefore, it was her first time participating in an international competition of this scale.
At this moment, she was excited and proud, and she even secretly cheered herself on.
Mm!
I won't embarrass Shifu this time!
.....
After the players on the stage had finished making their debut and had taken their seats, many of the professional players of this international competition walked out from the backstage.
At this moment, it was the home field of Liu Zilang and the others who had just won the championship the day before.
When the three Hua Xia teams walked onto the stage, an earth-shattering cheer erupted from the crowd!
In the contestants' seats on the stage, the invited guests who were connecting to their equipment heard the enthusiastic cheers and looked up in surprise.
However, when they saw Liu Zilang and the others, they could not help but realize what was going on.
Even though it had only been one night, the news of "Se7en Defeats SKK, 4AM Becomes Champion" had already flooded all major social media platforms, even overseas audiences were flooded with the news.
As the ones who were participating in the charity exhibition match that day, how could they not know Liu Zilang?
This was especially true for Kim Doohwan, who was sitting in the crowd. He looked at Liu Zilang with a complicated gaze.
Perhaps he finally understood how big the gap between two fingers that Liu Zilang had mentioned to him was …
However, when he thought about today's exhibition match …
Kim Doohwan could not help but grit his teeth as a look of determination flashed across his eyes!
.....
On Hua Xia's commentary platform.
"Hello everyone, I'm Su Changming!"
"I'm 117!"
"Hello everyone, I'm your Messiah, Ruo Feng!"
After the three of them greeted each other, Su Changming said to the camera, "Alright, now that all the contestants have taken their seats, today's charity exhibition match is about to begin."
"That's right, today's match is going to be very lively!
There are many familiar and unfamiliar faces here. "
Lord Rong then turned to look at the big screen. "Let us first introduce the lineups of our three Hua Xia teams for the charity exhibition match."
"Alright, 4AM's two teams are Vic and Menhera-chan, and GodV and Long Shenjue."
"Se7en's team is Guru Qiu and Sloth, and SSR and their leader, Ah Zhuang."
"Then there's IG. Master Ze is paired up with Ke Xue, a passionate female fan who's studying in California. CuoJue is also paired up with Xiao Lou, who just came from China. Hehe, looks like IG is going to win chicken dinner with a girl."
"Wait a minute!
Why is Master Ze teaming up with a female fan?
Is there a mistake? "
"Hmm … According to our insider, I heard that Master Ze was arranged by IG."
"That's right, IG has organized an event on their official Weibo to pick a lucky fan to be Master Ze's partner for the exhibition match in California. It's considered a fan benefit. Before today, Master Ze was told by the club's staff that the fan was a male …"
"Tsk!
IG is quite ruthless this time!
Poor Master Ze, I feel sorry for him … "
"Mmm, that's all for the introduction of the squads. We'll introduce the squads from other countries in detail during the match."
"Speaking of which, out of the six two-man squads from the three clubs in China, which one do you think is the strongest overall?"
"I don't think I need to explain further. Perhaps some viewers don't know much about Sloth, but he's actually Se7en's strongest point-breaker back then. In terms of overall strength, I think Guru Qiu and Sloth's team is obviously stronger."
"We'll only know if they're strong after they fight. I hope that the Hua Xia players don't feel pressured today. Let's go all out and try our best!"
"That's right!
Alright, we've just received news from backstage. Our players are ready and the match is about to begin! "
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the lights in the arena dimmed and the big screen lit up.
The roar of an airplane engine came from afar and came into everyone's ears.
The match had begun!
