The opening ceremony of the GPL's Spring Competition was relatively simple. First, it broadcasted the promotional video of the extremely enthusiastic Spring Competition on the big screen. Then, the captains of each team took to the stage, and the host introduced the clubs and celebrity players to the audience one by one.
The captains of the sixteen teams corresponded to the sixteen war flags in the stadium, and also corresponded to the sixteen heroes dressed up in the promotional video CG.
The audience in the venue were all old-timers. They were very supportive, clapping and cheering continuously.
After that, the competition officially began.
Strictly speaking, the GPL's Spring Competition was lacking when compared to the IOI World Finals. They were not on the same level after all. The IOI World Competition was held in a large stadium that could accommodate 20,000 people. It was definitely much more grand than the GPL's Spring Competition.
