The King's Avatar: Reborn Sun Xiang, Girlfriend Su Mucheng

Hearing Huang Shaotian's words, Ye Xiu couldn't help but say, "Let's not be too proud. Xiao Rizi is just one of the 16 World Invitational Tournament teams. Our opponents this time are not just Xiao Rizi. Teams like the US and South Korea have always been at the world's top level in esports. Our main opponents are these world-class teams."

"If you think that beating a small team makes you the best in the world, then what's the difference between you and that small team?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, everyone fell silent, and the joy that had been on their faces just moments before froze.

Yes, they only defeated a team from a small island nation. What's there to be proud of?

The world is so big, there must be many strong teams, and there may be teams stronger than their Dragon Country team.

They're just better off than ordinary people; there's nothing to be proud of.

After all, the territory of Xiao Rizi is not even as large as a single province of the Dragon Kingdom.

For the Dragon Kingdom, Xiao Rizi is just a tiny place.

Defeating a prestigious team from a tiny place is nothing to be proud of.

Seeing that everyone's expressions had become more serious, Ye Xiu patted Huang Shaotian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, there's really no need to worry too much. No matter how strong the other teams are, we must believe that our Dragon Country team is the strongest. As long as we work together, we can defeat any opponent."

"Old Ye is right. Respect your opponent, respect yourself, and don't be afraid of strong enemies. The brave are invincible!" Han Wenqing rarely agreed with Ye Xiu's words.

Ye Xiu smiled at Han Wenqing. The two had been battling it out in Glory for twelve years, which could be considered half a lifetime. In the end, they even developed a mutual respect for each other.

Once lifelong enemies, they have now become lifelong friends who cherish each other.

Ye Xiu then looked at everyone and said, "We'll continue adjusting to the time difference today. No afternoon naps allowed. Come with me to see the sights. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Zurich, so make sure you see all the sights to your heart's content. It won't be a wasted trip."

Tomorrow we'll be doing group stage draws and the first round of group matches. The main tournament is starting, so I definitely need to make the most of this last chance to adjust to the time difference.

They collapsed once yesterday and collapsed again today. Even if everyone can't fully adapt, they should be able to stay awake during the competition.

So, after lunch, the group embarked on another half-day tour of Zurich.

They played until about 7 or 8 p.m., which is about 4 a.m. Beijing time, before returning to the hotel to rest.

Because I was very tired from playing outside.

Everyone was exhausted.

Even Zhang Xinjie went back to the hotel and fell asleep immediately.

Many people were so tired that they didn't even take a shower and just fell asleep.

I took a shower the next day after I woke up.

Everyone got up at seven o'clock in the morning and gathered in the hotel lobby. Then they arrived at the stadium at eight o'clock to attend the opening ceremony of this World Invitational Tournament.

Although it's an esports world invitational tournament, the Zurich organizers have prepared quite a few activities.

Of course, the main purpose is to showcase the culture and customs of Switzerland, so most of the programs are based on their national style.

Finally, of course, they also performed a Glory-themed show, and the organizers used holographic projection for the Glory esports performance.

The performance was a highly entertaining battle show by members of their Swiss national team, showcasing the most dazzling skills of each class in Glory through holographic projection.

This scene is like watching a science fiction movie, with a strong sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of Avatar.

After the performances concluded, the opening ceremony officially came to an end.

Then the team leaders from each country went on stage to draw lots to determine the group assignments.

This step took less than ten minutes, and the results were in.

Group A: Switzerland, Denmark, South Korea, Australia.

Group B: Norway, Germany, Russia, Canada.

Group C: Japan, Sweden, France, China.

Group D: Netherlands, England, Italy, USA.

Upon seeing the group assignments, the members of the Dragon Team couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That's interesting. Little Rizi actually got assigned to our group."

"Yesterday we were saying we'd better not run into them. I wonder how they're feeling now. It's a pity I don't understand Japanese, otherwise I'd really like to interview them to find out how big their psychological trauma is!" "Being in our group, their good days are over. They're not having any good days anymore."

Hearing the teasing from the crowd, Sun Xiang and Su Mucheng exchanged a glance.

In fact, no matter what competitive sport, whenever the Chinese team encounters a difficult period, the Chinese team's athletes are all like they've been injected with chicken blood.

Defeating the mundane is a gene ingrained in the bones and blood of the Chinese people.

After the group stage draw is completed, the next step is to announce the schedule for the World Invitational Tournament.

The group stage will be held from July 17th to July 28th.

There will be 8 matches per day in the group stage, with 2 matches per group.

Because each group only has 4 teams, it only takes three days to complete one round of matches.

Each round lasts three days, and then there are four rounds in total.

In the four rounds, each team has two home games and two away games.

After four rounds of group stage matches, the two teams with the highest points will advance from the group stage.

The quarterfinals will be held from July 29th to August 1st.

The ranking matches are played by drawing lots to determine who will be paired up.

Each team plays two matches, one at home and one away.

The ranking tournament consists of two matches each day for a total of four days.

The four teams that successfully advance will enter the semifinals.

The semi-finals will be held from August 2nd to August 4th, lasting three days.

The semifinals are contested based on the rankings from the qualifying tournament.

The match between the top two teams in the ranking tournament and the fourth-ranked team, as well as the matches between the second and third-ranked teams.

The semifinals use a best-of-three, two-loss format, with the winner advancing to the finals.

The finals will be held on August 5th. The finals will be played on a random map, with no home or away games, and the winner will be decided in one match.

The awards ceremony and closing ceremony will be held on August 6th.

Then the World Invitational Tournament came to a complete end.

When the group assignments were announced, Xiao Rizi felt utterly hopeless.

We were actually assigned to the same group as the Dragon Kingdom team!

Previously, they would have been eager to be grouped with the Dragon Kingdom team, then defeat them to advance to the ranking tournament.

That would demonstrate the strength of their modest lifestyle.

But now that they know the Dragon Kingdom team is stronger than them, they naturally don't want to be in the same group as the Dragon Kingdom team.

After all, losing to the Chinese team is an extremely humiliating thing for them.

They won't feel ashamed if they lose to national teams like the USA, Russia, or England.

After all, they've never won.

But losing to the Chinese team would be very shameful.

In their narrow-minded view, the Chinese national team is incredibly weak in every aspect.

But now, at the Glory World Invitational Tournament, under the watchful eyes of Glory players worldwide, if they lose to the Chinese team, they will lose face to the whole world!
However, what's even more embarrassing for them is that after the event, they will have to face interviews from reporters from various countries.

Thinking about the bet with the Dragon Team yesterday, Xiao Rizi immediately became uneasy.

What should I do? I'm about to face a reporter interview.

Are they really going to call the Dragon Kingdom team "Daddy"? (End of Chapter)
