The competition was held in a super-sized stadium built specifically for the league. The hotel where the seeded contestants stayed was right beside the venue, with an exclusive passageway meant to keep competitors from running into the media and fans on their way there.
More than a hundred different areas had been divided inside the stadium. The more attention a match received, the closer its area was to the center. The match Xu Zhi would be commentating on had drawn considerable interest thanks to her presence and the event organizers' marketing, making for plenty of entertainment value.
When Xu Zhi arrived at the broadcast room, the match she was scheduled to commentate on was still half an hour away.
The staff in the broadcast room asked for her and Shu Yushan's opinions. Neither of them wanted makeup, so the staff merely fitted them with microphones for the livestream.
After briefly explaining the topics they should avoid mentioning during the broadcast and the points they needed to watch out for, they could simply wait for the stream to begin.
Joining Xu Zhi and Shu Yushan this time was Xiao Xiao, one of the league's most popular hosts. She had already commentated on several matches that day, and after greeting Xu Zhi and Shu Yushan, she chatted with them for a while to keep things from feeling too unfamiliar and awkward once the broadcast began.
The official livestream had many channels. Once one match ended, the broadcast switched to the next, and each channel's commentary schedule was arranged in advance. Therefore, before this highly anticipated match began, quite a few viewers had already gathered in the livestream room.
