Just past 1 PM, the gates of the Ningzhong City National Arena opened, and countless players who came for the event entered the venue in an orderly fashion.
Electronic sports had become a globally recognized competitive category decades ago, and before the birth of "Glory of the Gods," there were many gaming tournaments organized by individuals or official entities.
At this point, electronic sports were no longer marginalized or misunderstood, nor did anyone criticize it as 'distracting from one's ambitions'.
On the contrary, electronic sports had become even more popular than traditional sports competitions.
Not just in Ningzhong City, but in all major cities globally, if conditions allowed, there were huge electronic sports arenas specially established for hosting local events.
