The King's Avatar: Reborn Sun Xiang, Girlfriend Su Mucheng
Chapter 331 Zurich has arrived, the World Invitational Tournament begins!
The three-day training camp was conducted under Ye Xiu's leadership.
If anyone else were to lead this team, it would be really difficult to train these top players who have already reached the pinnacle of Glory.
But when Ye Xiu came to teach them a lesson, they were all completely subdued.
The World Invitational Tournament is conducted according to the format of the International Glory League.
Therefore, this training camp, in addition to helping these top players develop teamwork and coordination, mainly focuses on the use of the new competition format.
The format of the International Glory League is one-on-one matches + arena matches + team matches, which is the same as the previous format in China.
However, the one-on-one matches are 5v5, the arena matches are also 5v5, and the team matches are 10v10, with no substitutes.
There's not much to train for in one-on-one matches or arena battles; the main focus is on team matches.
The 10v10 team competition is quite different from the 5v5 team competition in China.
After all, the more people there are, the harder it is to command and coordinate.
This kind of large-scale melee involving twenty people demands a higher level of strategic vision and adaptability from the commander.
The official tactical commander for this World Invitational Tournament is Yu Wenzhou, who will serve as the team captain.
Commanding ten people in combat is a huge burden for Yu Wenzhou.
Fortunately, voice chat is not prohibited in international competitions; otherwise, with Yu Wenzhou's hand speed, he would probably be too busy to command a ten-player battle.
Fortunately, this national team has three tactical masters.
Therefore, Ye Xiu simply stopped trying to command ten people in one battle and instead divided the ten people into two five-person teams.
In this way, we'll get back into the familiar rhythm of the national team.
However, the coordination between these two five-person teams, and between the two groups, will require Yu Wenzhou to lead and coordinate.
This training can be considered to be on the right track.
After three days of intensive training, the results were quite good.
The biggest takeaway is that several players who had previously been at odds with each other put aside their personal grudges and tried to cooperate on the field in the face of national honor.
After three days of training together, this super team composed of all-stars has successfully integrated into the team.
Early on the morning of July 15th, Sun Xiang and his team, led by two leaders from the e-sports headquarters, boarded a flight to Zurich.
We arrived in Zurich in the evening.
However, it was broad daylight here.
Zurich and Beijing are 6 hours apart in time, so when it is 9 p.m. in Beijing, it is only 3 p.m. here.
Therefore, they have to adjust to the time difference when they arrive here.
However, the official competition is scheduled to begin the day after tomorrow.
They were only given one day.
They need to adjust to the time of day.
Otherwise, the match here is at 7 or 8 pm, but it's 4 or 5 am back home.
That was when people were at their lowest mental state.
If the Chinese team doesn't adjust to the time difference quickly, it won't be a good thing.
How can you play a game if you're so listless and yawning all the time?
In particular, Zhang Xinjie, the human alarm clock, faced the most severe test in this extreme environment.
For someone who needs to set an alarm clock for everything, including eating and sleeping, adjusting to a 6-hour time difference would probably be like taking his life.
To help everyone adjust to the time difference as quickly as possible, everyone was very tired after getting off the plane, but Ye Xiu did not allow them to rest. Instead, after putting their luggage in the hotel, they gathered together to go sightseeing in Zurich.
Despite its bustling atmosphere, Zurich, the largest city in the Swiss Confederation, possesses a simple and unpretentious charm.
The streets of Zurich don't feature many towering, luxurious buildings; instead, they mostly retain the architectural style of the 1950s and 60s, primarily consisting of four- or five-story Western-style buildings. Each building boasts a clock tower, with tall lightning rods and enormous clock structures, exuding a distinctly Western cultural charm.
The beautiful Lake Zurich not only reflects the colors of the city, but also has flocks of swans swimming in its waters.
In addition, the climate here is comfortable, around 20 degrees Celsius, making Sun Xiang and the others feel cold even wearing just one layer of clothing.
Keep in mind that at this time in China, the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius, so hot that even with air conditioning on, you had to go shirtless to feel comfortable.
To keep everyone awake, Ye Xiu took Sun Xiang and the others to visit the famous St. Peter's Basilica.
This oldest church in Zurich was built in 1534 and has a history of nearly 500 years.
The church tower has the largest church clock dial in Europe, with a diameter of 8.7 meters, an hour hand of 3 meters, and a minute hand of 4 meters.
It is said that this church tower was used to monitor fires. In the event of a fire, someone would extend a flag in the direction of the fire to indicate the location of the fire to people.
But this is just a rumor circulating online, and tourists from other places naturally have no way of knowing its authenticity.
Afterwards, Ye Xiu took everyone to try some local Zurich cuisine.
For example, grilled sausages.
The sausages here are slightly different from those in China. They are German-style sausages, served with sauerkraut. The sausages are grilled to a crispy exterior and tender interior, and are very juicy. They burst with flavor with every bite. Combined with the sauerkraut, they have a unique and delicious taste.
Then we also ate their steak.
Their steak was served with potato pancakes and cream.
This feeling is like eating a sandwich cookie back home, or better yet, a hamburger back home—the same flavor.
The only difference is that a hamburger is made with bread and cream, while this one is made with steak and cream, giving it a hamburger-like feel.
The group enjoyed local cuisine, strolled through Zurich's beautiful scenery, and felt the cool breeze from the Alps; time flew by.
Because of all the eating, drinking, and playing, even if everyone was exhausted, they wouldn't be able to sleep standing on the street.
Oh, it's not like nothing.
Zhang Xinjie is the kind of guy who sleeps while walking.
Even though Ye Xiu would occasionally pat Zhang Xinjie on the shoulder and yell, "Hey! Falling asleep again?"
It still couldn't completely wake Zhang Xinjie from his drowsiness. After a while, Zhang Xinjie's head started pecking at rice again.
This is understandable, though, as Zhang Xinjie is the kind of person who needs to set an alarm clock for everything, from eating and sleeping to going to the toilet.
A living, breathing human alarm clock.
By domestic standards, he should have been asleep for two and a half hours by now.
If we're talking about which member of the national team has the hardest time adjusting to the time difference, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Xinjie.
However, as the team's only healer, Zhang Xinjie had to adjust to the time difference.
So even though he was incredibly sleepy, Zhang Xinjie forced himself to stay awake, and even if he was dozing off while walking, he still had to keep up with the pace of the group.
Ye Xiu led everyone around Zurich until 8 PM before returning to the hotel together.
It was already 4:30 a.m. in China, the time when people are most sleepy.
So Sun Xiang and the others fell asleep immediately after returning to the hotel.
Sun Xiang slept until after noon Beijing time before waking up in the Zurich dawn.
Golden sunlight streamed into the room, creating a shimmering, golden glow.
They had two tasks that day.
One is to go to the Lötzgrund Stadium in Zurich, which is the home venue of this Glory World Invitational Tournament, to scout out and get used to this brand-new competition venue.
It's said that the Lözglund Stadium can hold 26 spectators. To be honest, Sun Xiang and his companions had never even heard of such a large stadium before, let alone seen one. (End of Chapter)
