Ren Dong never would have thought that he beat birds all day long, but in the end, he would have his eyes pecked out by birds.
Not only that, but countless viewers in the live stream and offstage had frozen expressions on their faces. Many of them had a headache from Liu Zilang's "Sweet Potato Show".
"This person … How can he show off like that?"
"I feel sorry for Brother Dong for a second. Forgive me for laughing unkindly."
"Let's laugh together. I didn't expect the day to come when the 'Immortal Grip' would be showcased in reverse."
"I think Vic brought his Cloud Explorer Starfish."
"Puhaha, Cloud Explorer Starfish …"
”.....“
Of course, although Ren Dong who had two microphones in his hands felt awkward, he still cleverly ended the interview with a "friendly" hug.
He had already decided to pick himself up from where he had fallen. He would go back and reflect on where he had made a mistake.
After the interview ended, it was almost time for the break in the competition.
Liu Zilang initially wanted to return to the resting room.
However, he guessed that Li Muqiu might have entered "Berserk" mode. Hence, after pondering for a while, he decided to wait for them at the front stage.
.....
A brief moment later.
The match music started playing.
The eighty players from Team A and Team B who were resting backstage returned to the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.
On the big screen behind the stage, the camera shifted to the commentator's seat.
"Alright, welcome back. This is the first day of the PGI Hua Xia Qualifier, PCPI. I'm your commentator, Ms-Joy."
"Hello everyone, I'm PDD."
"I'm your commentator."
After a brief introduction, Ms-Joy and Yaoyi, who were sitting in the middle, read out a long list of sponsors' names before getting to the main topic.
"Hehe, Vic and Brother Dong's interview must have left a deep impression on everyone." Ms-Joy laughed as he teased. He then said, "That's right.
"But let's get back to the main topic. According to the double-elimination format of this tournament, Team Two, who took 610 points in the first round, should be able to advance to the Winner's Bracket if there aren't any major accidents."
"Mmm, speaking of which, Se7en has shown us what it means to be the strongest Team Two in history."
"That's right. Under normal circumstances, second teams give us the impression that they're substitutes and water coolers. However, Se7en2 has redefined the term 'second team'."
"Of course, we also hope that the team that won the chicken dinner in the previous round can perform well in this game and show their strength. After all, if they didn't advance and watched their brother's team advance, it would definitely not feel good."
"That's indeed the case. However, according to our 'twenty zero points' system, if a team that didn't get a single point from this match wants to advance to the winner's bracket, I think it's not that there's no chance, but there's still the difficulty."
"Only with difficulty will there be challenges. Only with challenges can one surpass oneself."
"Yes, this is also the spirit of our eSports. We hope that every team can surpass themselves and bring us more exciting matches."
“.....”
Just as the commentator was looking back, the contestants who had just gone on stage finished adjusting their equipment.
With the referees in place, a plane flying out of the sea appeared on the big screen in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, our second match has officially begun."
"The flight route for this match starts from Novorepnoye on Sosnovka Island at the bottom right of the map, passing through Mylta, Shelter, and Yasnaya Polyana. The final destination is on the left side of Sacred Mountain at the top right of the map."
"Currently, we can see that a team has jumped. Oh!
4AM has jumped, and it seems like they're still heading towards Sosnovka Military Base. Looks like GodV and the others have decided to pick up where they fell in this match. "
"Wait!
There's another team!
Se7en's Team One has jumped too!
Is history going to repeat itself in this match? "
"If that's the case, Vic's Team Two is the only one left from the 'Three Heroes of Sosnovka Military Base'."
"Oh!
The plane has flown past Sosnovka Military Base. It seems like Team Two isn't planning to jump. "
"Yes, and it seems like Team One isn't planning to go to Sosnovka Military Base. They're heading straight for Novorepnoye."
“.....”
As the commentator spoke quickly in real time.
At the start of the match, the landing spots of the major teams were clearly displayed in front of the countless spectators.
In the plane, Li Muqiu glanced at Liu Zilang and asked angrily, "Are we really going to Georgopol for this match?
Isn't that too far? "
"It's a little far, but there's no one there."
Liu Zilang revealed a mature smile. "Let's slow down the pace of this match. Let's go and develop first and preserve our strength. I don't want to lose any members at the start of the match."
Li Muqiu rubbed his chin and furrowed his brows when he heard Liu Zilang's words. He felt that this guy was hinting at something.
Liu Zilang smiled kindly at him. "Guru Qiu, I'm not talking about you."
"…" Li Muqiu's eyes twitched.
'Sh * t!
'You're so cold, you're obviously talking about me!
'No!
'I can't die in this match!'
Li Muqiu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. It seemed like he had no choice but to use his' Spiteful Man 'to protect KD in this match.
However, Misaka Mikoto blinked when she heard Liu Zilang's words. She pouted and said pitifully, "Shi … Shifu … I think you're rutting!"
"Oh?" Liu Zilang looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "You're such a smart girl."
Misaka Mikoto was speechless.
After that, Liu Zilang had decided on the landing location. Naturally, no one had any objections.
However, Georgopol was too far away from the flight route of the match. It was unrealistic to fly high.
Hence, Liu Zilang gave it some thought and decided to land outside of Yasnaya Polyana. He would look for a car at the intersection after landing and then pick up his teammates to head to Georgopol.
The plane slowly flew over the sky of PUBG Island.
When it arrived above Yasnaya Polyana, there were many empty seats in the cabin. There were many black dots on the bottom of the plane.
"17 has chosen to land high in Pochinki as usual in this match. We can see that there are only two squads left in the cabin. It should be Bright Summit or Jungler after that."
"Mmm, Vic's second squad has landed in Yasnaya Polyana. Other than that, there's also Tyloo and SSS."
"That's interesting. Did you guys notice that three of the top five squads from the previous match have appeared in Yasnaya Polyana? Looks like there's going to be a change at the start of the match."
"Wait a minute, Squad Two seems to be heading toward the western entrance of Yasnaya Polyana. Are they planning to start looting from the outside?"
"No!
No, no!
They're looking for a car. Squad Two isn't landing at Yasnaya Polyana. "
"Oh!
Wait a minute, Squad QG seems to have landed at the entrance as well. They're probably looking for a car as well. "
Right then, the caster's camera zoomed down from the sky. A UAZ that was parked by the roadside came into view.
