Weekend, Jianghai Olympic Sports Center.
The stadium was located in Jianghai Pudong New District and was built in 2010. It covered an area of 18 hectares and could accommodate more than 70,000 spectators at the same time. It was a multi-functional complex national stadium that could be ranked among the top three in Asia.
As the competition approached, the PCPI finals tickets were sold out, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the Olympic Sports Center.
This time, Se7en2 had four starters, one substitute, and one coach. It was a full squad of six players.
When they arrived at the competition venue, they could not help but feel excited when they saw the crowd of fans in front of the entrance.
"Shifu, Shifu, there are so many people!" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed as she leaned against the window.
Liu Zilang smiled. "Don't be nervous, they're here to cheer for us."
"Ah?" Misaka Mikoto was shocked by Liu Zilang's shamelessness.
The other people in the car couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They had never seen someone who healed themselves like this before a match!
After getting out of the car, they avoided the media and the audience. The group of six entered the stadium through the contestants' dedicated tunnel and began to connect and adjust the equipment.
At this time, many of the clubs' teams had already arrived in the stadium. Everyone greeted each other politely after meeting.
Although they would be opponents in the competition later, they could still "smile" on the surface.
"Wei-chan, are you guys still heading to the airport later?" Liu Zilang suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the stage looked calm on the surface, but they secretly pricked up their ears.
GodV was startled. He looked around him and cursed in his heart.
He then looked at Liu Zilang cautiously. "What do you want?"
"I'm just asking."
Liu Zilang connected to the keyboard and smiled honestly. "We're old acquaintances. Don't get into a fight at the start of the match like before. It'd be bad if we hurt our friendship."
"So what you're saying is …" GodV remained calm.
"How about this? If you guys go to the airport, we'll avoid you." Liu Zilang acted like he was a good friend.
"We're not going to Sosnovka Military Base," GodV said.
"Oh?
If that's the case … Then we'll go. "Liu Zilang smiled.
His voice was loud and clear, as if he was afraid that the people around him who were eavesdropping couldn't hear him clearly. The people around him almost rolled their eyes.
Are you two showcasing your acting skills?
Conspiracy!
It was definitely a conspiracy!
While the contestants on the stage were busy, the entrances to the Olympic Sports Center were also opened.
Countless spectators poured in from the entrance and quickly took their seats in the stands around the stage. The scene immediately became noisy.
However, this did not affect Liu Zilang and the others at all. This was because their player booths were surrounded by a simulated airplane cabin. There was a layer of soundproof glass on the outside, which could minimize any interference from the outside world.
.....
Next, when almost all the players had entered the arena, the commentators were almost done with their preparations.
Three commentators wearing vests and bow ties appeared on the commentary platform. The cameraman in front of them gestured after he was ready.
On the stage, the person sitting in the middle immediately smiled at the camera. "Hello everyone, I'm Commentator Ms.Joy."
"It's fine if I'm the commentator."
The commentator at the side also greeted them.
Ms-Joy smiled as he continued, "I'm very happy and honored to be the commentator for this competition. However, before I introduce our competition, I'd like to introduce our guest commentator for today.
“
As soon as Ms-Joy finished speaking.
The caster shifted the camera to the side.
A young girl appeared on the commentary platform. She made a heart gesture at the camera and smiled. "Hello everyone, I'm Daimei."
"Hehe, welcome Daimei!"
"Thank you, thank you. You're too kind, everyone."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Everyone in the audience and live stream, welcome to the finals of PUBG's PCPI. This is the competition venue of the Jianghai Olympic Sports Center."
“
As everyone can see, our twenty teams of eighty players have all entered the arena. They're currently connecting and adjusting their peripherals. We'll be watching today's competition very soon. "
"When we entered the arena, I roughly observed our players. Most of them are full of confidence. It seems like they've adjusted their conditions very well. I believe that today's competition will be very exciting."
"Hehe, since the competition hasn't started, why don't we analyze and predict today's competition?"
"Uh … Alright, I'm not afraid of toxic healers here because I believe that the truly strong teams can't be healed. Take OMG for example. You see, they were eliminated in the first round of the group stage. In the end, they rose from the ashes and entered our finals as the champion of the Losers Bracket."
"Looks like they are more optimistic about OMG. Actually, when I entered the arena, I chatted with some professional players. Many professional players also expressed that other than Team Two, who was the winner of the Winners' Bracket, they were most wary of OMG out of all the other teams. After all, this team's recent performance in the Losers' Bracket has been too aggressive."
"However, despite being wary, I believe that everyone isn't afraid of a challenge. After all, today's competition doesn't just determine our PCPI champion and first runner-up. It also determines three tickets to the overseas PGI."
“.....”
Just as the three commentators were analyzing and predicting the competition's direction, the big screen on the stage began to play the promotional videos of the twenty teams that arrived in the arena.
The cool images coupled with the exciting music instantly made everyone's blood boil.
Soon, the scene changed and it was time for the "pre-match gossip" segment of the various teams.
When they saw Liu Zilang appear on the screen and say something along the lines of "advancing steadily, friendship first, competition second", the audience was dumbfounded!
"By advancing steadily, do you mean killing everyone?"
"Friendship first?
Where's the friendship coming from? "
"Vic must be living in a dream. Who wouldn't want to beat him up after the competition?"
"No matter how honest this guy is, I won't believe a single word he says!"
“.....”
In the front row of the audience seats.
Zhang Xiaotong was also in the arena today.
She sat in the VIP spectator area and covered herself very tightly. So far, no one had noticed her.
Looking at Liu Zilang on the stage, she could not help but clench her small fists.
'Go, go!'
At the same time, about three or four rows diagonally behind Zhang Xiaotong, there was a man and a woman who looked exceptionally eye-catching.
In fact, the reason for this was that they looked to be around forty years old and did not fit in with the other youngsters in the arena who were in their teens or twenties.
Even so, the two of them were still sitting there.
This was especially so for the middle-aged man. His hair was neatly combed behind his back like Fabio, and the outline of his face was similar to Wu Xiubo's. He looked elegant and handsome at the same time.
He sat in his seat with his legs crossed. He looked at ease and it was as if he was sitting on the sofa at home watching the news after dinner.
"Uncle … Is he eating chicken dinner too?"
Finally, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man beside him could not help but look around curiously.
