The arena buzzed with excitement—one that intensified as more people filed into their seats.
Nina and Rolan looked around the Fire Court and shook their heads in amusement.
Like its name, the court was engulfed by a fiery atmosphere, leaving them sweaty even though the game hadn't started yet.
Suzy and her team also arrived, sitting on the front seats just right behind the Dog's bench.
"Finally," Yani sighed. "It's the last game of the group phase. We can finally cheer for the quarter-finals."
Suzy nodded, feeling excited yet nervous at the same time. There was a gnawing feeling in the back of her mind, but she shrugged it off.
More people went inside the court.
The Yin Yang Knights, as well as Chaoxing and the newbies, sat next to each other.
"Max!" Chaoxing exclaimed.
Max turned to the older player with raised eyebrows. "Chaoxing! You're watching this game?" he asked.
