For Wang Qianqian and Misaka Mikoto, the former had contacted a classmate of hers from her high school days in America, Emily. Emily helped them sort out their accommodation by getting a place near the hotel where 4AM was staying at.
For the next two days, players from other places spent their time getting used to the time zone as well as familiarizing themselves with the area.
On the third day which was the last day before the tournament, there was an official "media meeting" scheduled for the players.
When the five players from 4AM wore slippers to the tournament venue, Colt Arena for the media meeting, all the media interviewers were dumbfounded!
Nonetheless, the westerners were into individuality, thus they were able to accept it.
Thus, after a short moment of shock, a number of photographers below the stage began aiming their cameras at the players' feet.
