With the arrival of the two teams, fans shouted and waved banners in the air.
You'd think it was the finals by the way the stands filled up, but it wasn't. It was the semi-finals—the Juren Champions versus the Ying Eagles. A rare matchup for this stage, but no one was complaining. Their clash was legendary last year, and people felt like they were getting a bonus round before the actual finals.
David and Gina were back in the commentator booth, monitoring the live stream as the two teams warmed up. Gina tapped the mic as her eyes flitted between the court and the comment section on her screen.
"Wow, guys, we're already trending! The stream's blowing up," Gina said, glancing at David, who nodded while scrolling through the messages pouring in.
