Nonetheless, Liu Zilang only dismissed those discussions with a laugh.
Since he had once faced the sa opponents, he was well aware of the kind of players he would be eting in the invitational tournant.
Liu Zilang was not confident that their team would prevail but he knew that those monstrous players were not undefeatable.
Before the invitational tournant in California, Liu Zilang applied for a weeks’ leave from the counselor in advance.
Of course, counselors from universities like the University of Jianghai were unauthorized to approve leaves that were relatively long.
However, Liu Zilang had been rather “popular” lately and his university had been promoting multicultural developnt among students.
Once they heard that he was about to represent Asia in the invitational tournant in California, Arica, the principal called him in to give him words of encouragent in hopes that he could win honor for their university.
“The University of Jianghai won’t drag you down but will forever back you up...”
‘Oh, look at how he phrased his sentence...’ Liu Zilang was so touched that he almost teared up.
While he successfully applied for his leave, 4AM had settled the tournant visa with help from Tencent.
Furthermore, the matter of Liu Zilang’s companions to California had also been settled.
Due to Zhang Xiaotong’s studies, she could only watch the tournant from ho. With that, Wang Qianqian and Misaka Mikoto beca his “cheerleaders”.
Two days later, the Asian representatives 4AM, IG, and Se7en gathered at Jianghai’s international airport.
“Da, da, da-!”
The mont all three teams t, the players from IG and Se7en were stunned by the players from 4AM who wore slippers.
‘Do they think that they’re going on a holiday?’
Since everyone bought their flight tickets in bulk, all three teams were on the sa flight.
Apart from a small number of tourists on the plane, the three teams sowhat occupied the entire plane.
Before the plane took off, Long Shenjue gave the players a detailed briefing of the tournant format and schedule.
Similar to the Asia Qualifier, the competition would go on for three days.
However, there was a change in the sequence of gas. In proper order, it would be squad mode first which was followed by duo and then solo.
Furthermore, there was also a change in the tournant format.
Firstly, the tournant mode had changed from third-person perspective to first-person perspective because players in the western countries were more used to the latter. Hence, the world invitational tournant held in California would go with what the locals were familiar with.
Furthermore, there was also a change in the system in terms of accumulating points.
Points earned from winning chicken dinner had decreased from 500 to 300 while points gained from acquiring kills had reduced from 15 to 10.
Although it looked as if the points for both cases had reduced, in actual fact, it actually indirectly increased the weight of points from kill counts.
Unquestionably, it would increase the number of encounters between players in matches as well as its spectate value.
Needless to say, it was also done to heighten the tournant’s intensity.
Other than that, there was an additional rule for the squad and duo matches in the tournant: Players who were killed and eliminated were not allowed to stay to assist their teammates by reporting to them and had to leave the stage.
Consequently, the tournant would undoubtedly beco crueler.
One could imagine...
If there were 100 players on the stage, as ti passed by, players would eventually get eliminated.
Losers would be asked to leave the stage and it would go on until one squad erged as the winner.
The chaotic, ruthless, dystopia-like scene... truly got one’s dander up!
When everyone heard Long Shenjue explain about the tournant, they began feeling anxious. Liu Zilang was no exception as he subconsciously held his knee cap tightly.
Once Long Shenjue was done briefing them about the tournant schedule and format, he inford them of the participating teams.
Although, 4AM, IG, and Se7en were the winners of the Asia Qualifier, in actual fact, they were not the only Asian teams participating in the tournant. For example, Korean’s ACE Club that was sponsored by OGN League managed to secure a spot through another tournant even though they did not play in the Asia Qualifier.
Moreover, there were Southeast Asia’s Gold and Taiwan’s famous AHQ Club. They had both acquired spots through qualifiers in other continents.
This ant that there were a total of 6 teams representing Asia.
For the other participating teams, the list was as follows.
Oceania: Athletico, Savage, Windfall.
Commonwealth of Independent States: Vega, AVANGAR, Navi.
Europe: Liquid, FaZe, Team Vitality, Gates.
South Arica: Luminosity, Tempo Storm, Underhood, Knights.
North Arica: Team Solomid, Cloud9, Ghost Gaming, SKK.
In total, there were 24 teams and 96 players participating in the invitational tournant.
Based on the player distribution, the teams from Europe and Arica that took up 12 slots had undeniably occupied half the total number of slot. This itself displayed their powerful dominance in the FPS scene.
On top of that, Squad SKK that comprised of FPS “First God” players was giving off enormous pressure to all the other teams.
After Long Shenjue emphasized the key points of the tournant to the players, a flight attendant notified them that the plane was about to take off and asked them to be ready.
Upon hearing her, Liu Zilang was startled.
After hesitating for a while, he stood up to carefully place his backpack in the luggage compartnt above him.
At that mont, Li Muqiu who was seated in front of him stood up to put his stuff into the luggage compartnt. When he saw Liu Zilang being careful with his belongings, he instantly felt curious.
All of a sudden, he recalled sothing and realized what was going on.
Thus, Li Muqiu moved his head toward Liu Zilang soundlessly and then whispered, “Did you... bring that?”
When Liu Zilang felt the sudden warmth air on his ear, he was so taken aback that he quivered!
At once, he pushed his back into the luggage compartnt and closed it tightly. He then looked at Li Muqiu cautiously. “What do you an?”
“That thing!”
“What thing?”
“...”
Seeing as Liu Zilang was determined to act dumb about it, Li Muqiu pouted his lips. “Cheh! How stingy! Not like I’ll spoil it if you lent it to .”
Right away, Liu Zilang tried to suppress his anger as he replied, “You said the exact sa thing a year ago but it took half a month for to return it to the factory in Germany. Not to ntion, the maintenance guy f*cking cried when he saw the keyboard, okay?
“An accident... that was just an accident...”
Embarrassed, Li Muqiu kept quiet.
Around 13 hours later, by the ti Liu Zilang and the rest woke up from their sleep, they arrived at California’s airport.
Followed by that, all three teams settled down in a hotel with help from the officials.
