Liberty City
A very special city. It has no subordinate cities and its area is far smaller than other cities. In the beginning, it was just a "refugee city".
Later, for some unknown reason, some chambers of commerce gradually began to try to sell supplies to these refugees in order to squeeze out the last value from them. Other chambers of commerce saw this and got involved, so more and more chambers of commerce came here. Even because of the "monopoly" of other cities, many outsiders chose to come to Liberty City to trade.
There is more than one big conglomerate in this world, but there must be only one conglomerate that occupies a monopoly position in each city. However, in the Free City, no city lord will make a deal with anyone to help the monopoly. Everyone can do business here, and gradually, it becomes a free city of business with no taboos.
The "officials" of Liberty City were originally just a group of refugees. Even though they have become "aristocrats" now, they still lack confidence compared to other big cities, which means they are easy to control.
The league initially chose [Liberty City] because the city was sufficiently "neutral" and the tournament committee could better communicate with the [Liberty City] managers and take over some rights during the league.
After a long period of development, due to the status of the league and the strength of the event organizing committee, [Liberty City] can now be said to be a [League City].
Especially during the league period, the flow of people in [Liberty City] will increase dramatically, and various commercial activities will naturally emerge in an endless stream.
Many anchors have already arrived in [Liberty City] early, because in the next two days, each seeded team in the finals will have to come to [Liberty City] as required.
Outside the port berth and the hotel prepared by the event team, many anchors were broadcasting live waiting for the arrival of the seed teams. One of them was an anchor named [Early Rising Trainee]. He had a lot of fans and was considered a big anchor. He was invited to watch the game in cooperation with the event team. There were quite a few such anchors, and they were arranged to stay in the same hotel as the players, but on different floors.
This also allows them to live broadcast more conveniently than others. The dedicated live broadcast camera is suspended on his shoulder, allowing the audience to see the picture almost at his line of sight.
[Hey, another team is coming! Guess which team it is, no prizes?]
Seeing the comments, Zaoqi thought for a moment and replied, "Many seed teams have arrived in the past two days, but there are still dozens that haven't arrived yet. It's hard to guess."
Soon, the convoy stopped outside the hotel. The hotel was newly built after the rise and growth of the league. It covers a large area and is more than enough to accommodate all the seeded teams.
In addition to getting up early, a lot of media and anchors also gathered here. Under the watchful eyes of almost everyone, the newly arrived convoy opened the car door. The first to get off were the accompanying staff, analysts, nutritionists, etc., and then came the contestants wearing Guangmingyuan's extremely exquisite platinum uniform with a lotus embroidered on the chest.
"It's actually Liancheng Guangmingyuan. I finally waited for them."
Zaoqi said this with some surprise, and the barrage also recognized the Guangmingyuan team because of their holy, exquisite, yet neat uniforms and the lotus on the chest.
【Big city team! 】
【The arrogant big city has finally arrived. 】
Where is that first grader?
[Wow, another contestant with such obvious external characteristics. Doesn't it look like winter? So cold!]
"But she's very pretty. Although she looks cold, her expression isn't that of an iceberg beauty. She seems quite polite, isn't she? "
[With such obvious external characteristics, he must be a big shot. It looks like Liancheng Guangmingyuan will get another good result this year.]
So which one is the first grade?
[It must be the one who looks the youngest, right? ]
[But the pretty girl with glasses and the one with red eyes and a bad temper both look quite young!]
The Guangmingyuan Liancheng team did not stay in the first-floor lobby. After arriving at the hotel, they went directly into the players' exclusive elevator and left the first floor.
[So cool! They didn't even say hello to the media. This is a big city, after all.]
[What are you saying? Teams like this are always booked by the media. Is this your first time watching a league match?]
[The village just got internet access, what's the deal?]
To put it in a more naive way, there are a few giants in the league. They are evergreens, achieving strong results in almost every season and are the favorites to crack the top ten. These teams have countless eyes on them from the moment they appear. Their players don't need to do anything to attract attention; the public's attention follows them, and naturally the media does too.
[To put it simply, the team that just passed by was one of those damned big devil teams!]
[You guys are so chuunibyou.]
【But isn’t it cool? 】
[So, will there be a scene where a team of heroes defeats the demon king? ]
[There are very few reviews. A dark horse in the auditions is not considered a dark horse, nor is a dark horse in the group stage. And there are almost no dark horses in the finals.]
Because at this stage, the starting point of your life and the resources you have access to will determine which team you can enter in the finals, what kind of teammates you have, what kind of education you receive, and how you train normally.
These gaps cannot be made up by simply saying "extraordinary talent".
Therefore, dark horses rarely appear in league finals.
[Isn't the scope of the auditions expanded this year, and are they more unpredictable than in previous years? I think there might be a dark horse.]
They look so relaxed! I think seeing the expressions on a team like this's face when they lose will be even more exciting than it is now!
【Bad taste.】
[You don't want to watch? Unexpected matches are fun!]
[Liancheng Guangmingyuan has quite a few fans, so be careful.]
Xu Zhi, who entered the exclusive area, had no idea that their team had been labeled as strange villains. Xi Min was telling them about the future arrangements. As a seed team, they would have their own separate training area in this building. They could also arrange training matches with city teams with which they had good relations, or give the players a day off to explore Liberty City.
After all, it is not often that you get the chance to see so many conglomerates’ industries flourishing in the same area.
"Do you guys want to go out and play?"
Xi Min asked his students in a very democratic way.
I saw a few people shaking their heads in boredom, and Xu Zhi also looked indifferent.
That's true. Except for Xu Zhi, these people are usually young masters and young ladies. What haven't they seen in the upper class?
"Then try to go out less often. If you're caught by the media, don't say anything. Just call me directly."
In previous years, there have been cases where young and energetic team members were caught alone by the media and said some very arrogant words, which led to a period of time when the reputation of Liancheng Guangmingyuan was difficult to describe.
"Also, Xu Zhi."
She looked at Xu Zhi. "After the league group stage begins, some matches will invite the seeded teams in the finals to participate in the commentary to create a good show effect. For the first-year match I mentioned to you, the tournament organizers invited two people from our team to commentate, and emphasized that you must appear. Do you want to go?"
