Uncle Hat and armed police officers were maintaining order at the entrance, and two police cars were on standby at the stadium.
Faced with this level of security, many of the participants were taken aback; they hadn't expected that playing video games could be so formal.
Of course, what shocked everyone the most was the layout of the venue.
Inside the enormous circular stadium, the roof had been sealed off, and under the dim lights, everyone's attention was focused on the center of the stadium.
In the center of the temporary stage set up inside the stadium, spotlights shone on a huge trophy.
The surrounding area was also accompanied by a band playing various energetic music.
Even people who don't play games but just want to see what's going on are taken aback by the sheer scale of the event.
One of the middle-aged men looked at the competition machine on the stage and the large screens prepared around it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"My goodness."
"Is this for playing games?"
"Playing games shouldn't be treated like a competition."
Next to the middle-aged man, a younger man also retorted.
"Isn't this just playing a competition?"
"Does a video game competition not count as a competition?"

With one minute left until 2:30, the audience noticed that everyone was now busy.
Several people dressed in TV station uniforms kept gesturing to the people on stage.
At 2:30, there was a buzzing sound.
The lights in the entire stadium dimmed.
Accompanied by a powerful melody, the host appeared next to the trophy, illuminated by overhead lights.
A deep and passionate voice pierced the eardrums of everyone present.
The host was seen holding up the microphone and shouting at the camera.
"Welcome to the second Dragon Cup."
"Today, I will decide the 64 spots from 128 on this stage."
"After a two-week-long audition process, they!"
"Standing out from six thousand contestants!"
The lights came on again, and the 128 contestants were stunned; none of them had expected such a procedure.
