After a meeting by the Warstar committee before the inception of the World Championship, it was decided that Warstar-playing countries would have equal opportunities to bid for the right of hosting the World Championship every year.

For the first edition of the Warstar World Championship, having met all the requirements, U.S.A were the hosts.

The competition format was scheduled to last across a period of 4 days.

The first round of the competition, also the quarterfinals had 4 games in total to be played between the 8 competing countries. Of the 4 games, 2 were scheduled to be played on the first day in Michigan Stadium.

As for the last 2 games of the first round, they were scheduled to be played the next day in a different stadium in the U.S.A, Ohio Stadium.

After the first round, 4 countries would be eliminated, leaving 4 countries to compete in the second round, also the semifinals.

The 2 second round games would be played on the third day were 2 more countries would be eliminated, leaving the 2 most powerful countries in the epic final that would be played on the last day in Metlife Stadium.

Metlife Stadium…, that was where the first champion of the Warstar World Championship would be decided in 3 days.

All 8 competing countries for the first edition of the Warstar World Championship already arrived 2 days earlier in the U.S.

And today, it was finally starting.

The popular stadium in the U.S.A was filled to the brim with passionate eSports fans supporting either of both countries. The fans in white supported England, while those in red supported Portugal.

The atmosphere in this stadium was already electric.

The roar of the crowd was deafening as the professional eSports teams finally stepped into Michigan Stadium, a venue more famous for football than gaming.

The sheer scale of the arena, seating over 100,000 people created a mix of awe and adrenaline.

Neon lights and massive LED screens replaced the usual gridiron layout, casting a futuristic glow over the turf-turned-stage.

For the players, it was a surreal moment.

It was not just a championship where they represented their local city anymore, now, the stakes were higher…, they were representing their country.

They've battled through online qualifiers across a full season of the Warstar Pro Alliance in their various countries. They've gone through grueling training sessions, and sleepless nights perfecting strategies.

Now, the stakes are higher than ever.

Team Phoenix Rising now Team England…

As they walked down the tunnel, the bass from the pre-game hype video vibrated through their chests, filling them with adrenaline.

They exchanged glances, some filled with confidence, others masking nerves.

Gabriel chuckled on seeing the look on his teammates' faces.

The captain of team Phoenix Rising was as stalwart as ever even in the world stage. "Calm down," he said, jokingly gesturing at his chest. "It's just Portugal".

'Just Portugal…,' his teammates thought, feeling incredulous.

And before they knew it, they entered the stage.

Steeping onto the stage, they felt the heat of the spotlights and the gaze of thousands of fans, both in the stadium and those watching from around the world.

The energy was electrifying…

…hands trembled slightly, not from fear but from the raw excitement of competition.

This was more than just a game; it's a proving ground, a spectacle, a dream turned reality.

Inside the gaming booth, with headsets on and fingers poised over keyboards and controllers, the outside noise faded into a dull hum.

It was time…, the only thing that mattered now was the game!

Among those watching was a certain group of esteemed gamers.

In Benjamin's apartment in Birmingham, England, part of the group of friends who once formed the legendary Cyber Squad team huddled together, watching the World Championship first round under dim lighting.

At first, Noah thought he won't have the opportunity to watch the final but bothered by it, somehow, Genevieve was able to find a solution for him.

He could not see, but he could listen.

By logging into her Warstar console and leaving her in-game avatar close to Noah's Lord Doom and keeping the console close to where they watched the final live, Noah was able to participate by listening to the audio, the commentator's voice.

He followed everything as it happened.

As soon as all 10 players competing in the first round logged into their provided Warstar consoles, the game started loading on the big screen.

(Randomizing Game Location…)

(Randomization complete!)

(Location: Ancient Frost Realm!)

Bzzz!

The 10 players finally appeared inside the game in the big 3-way holographic screen in this program, broadcasting the world inside the game.

It was a mountain range filled with frost.

Both teams appeared at extreme ends of this game location, in a valley at both sides of the frost-filled mountain range.

Immediately after they appeared, the timer started counting down.

(9:59)

Of course, just like in the local Pro Alliance matches, there was a 30-minute timeline for the team battle and a 20-minute timeline for the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

But since the tournament started with the individual battle, this was why a 10-minute timeline was given instead.

The same location would be used for all 3 contest categories of this game.

After knowing the location would each team decide on who to send forward for their individual battle.

{I'll go first.}

Gabriel typed out to his teammates in their group chat.

None of them objected, and so, team England's Paladin entered the individual battle arena of the Ancient Frost Realm.

On team Portugal's side, they also made their choice.

When team England made their choice, sending their captain out first, they saw it. Guess what the reaction of the Portuguese was?

They also sent out their captain, the controller of the strongest avatar in the team Portugal squad, an Elementalist that was extremely popular in the Pro scene in Portugal.

(First Individual Battle locked!)
