On December 12, 2025, the long-awaited World Invitational Tournament finally began.

On this day, hundreds of millions of glorious viewers around the world are watching the opening ceremony of this World Invitational Tournament.

Although the World Invitational Tournament is not an Olympic Games, it does not attract as much attention as the Olympic Games, and it is not as grand as the Olympic Games, but as the host, Zurich still made the first World Invitational Tournament very lively.

The opening ceremony began with the welcome of distinguished guests, the raising of the national flag of the host country and the playing of the national anthem.

This was followed by a one-hour theatrical performance, which promoted Zurich's intangible cultural heritage, and then e-sports players from various countries entered the venue one after another.

There are six divisions in this World Invitational Tournament, namely Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, North America and the Caribbean, and Oceania.

In these six divisions, the top four teams from each division have come to participate in the World Invitational Tournament, so there are a total of 24 teams in the World Invitational Championship national teams that entered the stadium today.

These 24 teams are the four teams in the European region: England Blue, D Country, F Country, and Qatar.

There are four teams in the Asian Division: Team Z, Team Australia, Team H, and Team Yilang.

There are four teams in the African Division: Egypt, Ni Hitachia, Somalia, and Morogo.

There are four teams in the South American Division: Eight West Team, Agenting Team, Ulagai Team, and Glumbia Team.

North America and the Caribbean (two regions combined): Leeds, Costaga, Armecca, Salvador.

There are four teams in the Oceania Division: Samoya Team, Xinxilan Team, Papua Team, and Solomon Team.

Twenty-four teams entered the stadium and twenty-four national anthems were played.

Finally, the host introduced the rules of the World Invitational Tournament.

The 24 teams are divided into four groups, and then each group fights among themselves, and only the two teams with the best records can advance to the ranking round of the World Invitational Tournament!

The long but ceremonial opening ceremony took a full three and a half hours to complete in the presence of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

This was followed by a 24-team draw.

Based on the results of the draw, the groups are assigned, and then the group elimination qualifiers are played.

The 26 teams are divided into four groups, so there are 4 numbers in the draw box, which are 1-2-3-4, the six teams that draw the number 1 are a group, the six teams that draw 2 are a group, and in the same way, a group that draws 3 and a group that draws 4.

On the Z national team, Ye Xiu, the leader of the team, went up to draw lots, and Ye Xiu drew the number four, which belongs to the fourth group.

Soon the draw ceremony was completed, and the grouping of the four groups also came out.

There are six teams in a group, namely Ingrid, Austalia, Morogo, Ulagai, Glumbia and Solomon.

The six teams in the second group are Team D, Team F, Team Samoya, Xinxilan Team, and Yilang Team. Team Salvador.

The six teams in the three groups are the Jordanian team, the Z national team, the Ni Hitachi team, the Papua team, the Asian Mecca team, and the Egyptian team.

The four groups are the remaining teams: Leeds, Costaga, Somalia and H Nation. Eight West Team, Ah Genting Team.

After the grouping, the opening ceremony was completely completed, and the next step was naturally the competition that everyone was really looking forward to.

It's just that there are only four games played today, and that is two teams from each group to play one.

The two teams that played in the opening ceremony were the match between the English team and the Solomon team.

The two teams that played in the opening ceremony of the second group were the match between Team D and Team Salvado.

The two teams that played in the opening ceremony of the three groups were the match between the Z team and the Asian Mecca team.

The two teams that played in the opening ceremony of the four groups were the matches of the Eight West team and the thin Leeds team.

The first to start was the match between the English team and the Solomon team.

The English team is the champion team of the European division, and the Solomon team is the top four team of the Oceania region.

The game was fierce on both sides, and the Solomon team actually played a very strong game in the heads-up match, with the Solomon team winning 4 of the 6 heads-up matches, and although they lost to the English team in the ring match, they also got five points.

So at the end of the first half of the individual competition, Solomon still led the English team by one point with a record of 11:10!

With this one-point advantage, in the team competition, the Solomon team did not grasp this advantage.

As soon as the team competition started, it was pressed and beaten by the English team, and it completely lost the strength of the individual competition.

In the end, the team team lost only 6 players to defeat the Solomons.

At the end of the game, the Solomon team scored 17 points, while his opponent, the English team, scored 22 points!

Although Solomon eventually lost to the English team, Solomon's performance in the individual competition was still impressive.

The six teams in the group stage will play two rounds, one home and one away. After two rounds, the two teams with the highest points will be able to advance.

Today is the home of the English team, so the losing Solomon team is not discouraged, and they believe that in their next home game, they will get back the win from the English team.

The second game of the opening ceremony was the match between Team D and Team Salvador.

Team D is the runner-up team in the European division, second only to the English team, and Salvador is the top four team in the Caribbean region.

The strength of the Caribbean region is much worse than that of other regions on the whole.

So the match between the Salvador team and the D team is almost one-sided.

Country D defeated Team Salvador 4:2 in the heads-up match, and expanded its lead again with 6:4 in the ring match, and the team match directly beat Team Salvador 12:6, and after the whole game, Team D defeated Team Salvador with a record of 22:12 and got them off to a good start in this World Invitational Tournament.

The third game is the game that many overseas Chinese and hundreds of millions of compatriots in country Z are most concerned about, the team of country Z against the team of Asian Mecca!

Team Z is the champion of the Asian region, and its strength is obvious to all, and in the series against Team H to compete for the championship, Team Z played an overwhelming victory.

Although the Asian Mecca team is the champion of the Caribbean region, their overall strength is not good, which is related to their national conditions.

The most popular sport in Asia is the athletics sprint, because they have produced many famous sprinters and field runners, and the world record for sprinting is still preserved in their country. In Armaica their sprint is the same as table tennis in country Z, it is a national sport.

As a branch of the Indicians, the Armecians are particularly physical, with their bones and cardiopulmonary system surpassing those of ordinary people, making them more suitable for sprinting. They have stiff bones, can withstand greater speed impacts, and have long toes and are prone to force. They secrete a special substance that makes them run faster than the average person, and this is a scientific data derived from samples taken from hundreds of Jamaican athletes.

Their physical fitness is different from other people, their hormone secretion and cells are more than the average person, so they recover from exhaustion faster and get a better competitive state. At the same time, they have carried out scientific training and paid attention to all-round systematic training. Jamaicans have been cultivating sports materials since they were young, and they have been systematically exercising.

Although their four limbs and physical abilities are longer than ordinary people, their knuckles are far less flexible than ordinary people, so they are not very good at exercises that require delicate hand work.

Although Glory is popular all over the world, and there are countless Glory players in Asia and Mecca, the professional level of their players is much lower than that of other regions.

Therefore, the Z national team played with great ease against the Asian Mecca team in today's opening match.

Yu Wenzhou's arrangement of troops still continued the style of the Asian competition, and the heads-up game sent Yu Feng, Li Hua, Tang Hao, Fang Rui, Yang Cong, and Lv Boyuan on the field.

Except for Yu Feng and Lu Boyuan, who lost to each other, the other four all won.

Yu Wenzhou in the ring still let Sun Xiang, Duan Yu, Zhu Xiaoping, Xu Bin, Jiang Botao, and Tian Sen go up, but Sun Xiang, who was the first to play, completed one to two, and Duan Yu, who was the second to play, also completed one to two, and completed the clearing work with Zhu Xiaoping.

In the ring match, Sun Xiang, Duan Yu, and Zhu Xiaoping defeated the six-member team in the Yamecca ring match, resulting in Xu Bin, Jiang Botao, and Tian Sen having no chance to play.

And Yu Wenzhou did not arrange three people to play in the team competition, Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, Wang Jiexi, Zhang Xinjie, Chu Yunxiu, Zhou Zekai, Li Xuan, Yuan Boqing, Su Mucheng, Zou Yuan, Xiao Shiqin, Lu Feng Among the 12 people, Zou Yuan and Lu Feng, who came off the bench, also had no chance to play.

In the end, in this game, the Z country team actually played a huge score difference of 22:4 in Armeca.

Win by 18 points!

This score also became the largest score difference in the opening match of today's World Invitational Tournament.

What's ridiculous is that the players of Yamecca also trash talk to the Z country team in the handshake session before the start of the game, threatening to shave the bald heads of the Z country team, that arrogant gesture, I thought they sent a sprint champion group known as the flyer!

As a result, he was slapped in the face, and he was almost shaved by the Z national team.

Fortunately, Duan Yu and the others couldn't understand Yamecca's provocation, otherwise they would have laughed at them for the rest of their lives.

The last game of the day was a match between the Eight West and the Bo Leeds.

Team Eight West is the champion team of the South American Division, and Team Boelet is the champion team of the North American Division.

The game between these two teams can be regarded as an American derby.

As the champions of their respective divisions, this game was very intense.

The heads-up match was tied with three wins and three losses, and the ring match ended in a draw, which was the last game, and the Eight West team won with only 15% of the remaining blood, leading the Leeds team by one point.

However, in the team competition, the two sides did not decide the winner until the last pawn.

In the team competition, the Leeds team was also the last player to live alone, winning the eight-west team with a one-point advantage of 12-11.

In the individual competition, the Baxi team led by one point 9:8.

In the team competition, the Leeds team was 12:11, one point ahead of the Eight West team.

In this way, the total score of the two sides was 20:20, and it was actually a draw!

The score of the draw, the two sides can only enter overtime, and the overtime is a penalty shootout.

Although they almost tied with Leeds in the heads-up game and did not take advantage of anything, when it came to the penalty game of extra time, the rich tactical experience of the Eight West team was reflected.

There are 12 people each in the penalty shootout, and they will have a one-on-one PK, and they will get one point for winning one game.

In the end, after 12 matchups, the Baxi team won 8 games!

In the end, with the advantage of 8:4 in the penalty shootout, he won the game.

The total score also changed from 20:20 for the Eight West team to 21:19 for the Eight West team.

If you lose a penalty, one point will be deducted from the winning opponent. Penalties scored do not count towards the total.

The victory at 21:19 was only two points ahead of the opponent, but it also allowed the Eight West team to draw a victory label on their World Invitational Tournament journey.

This is the end of the first day of the World Invitational Tournament.

Because only four games were played, the game was not very long, but the opening ceremony before the game took a long time, so whether it was the contestants or the spectators, after watching the game today, they were very tired after returning home.

Among them is Duan Yu and them.

Originally, after the game, it should be organized to replay and study today's game together, summarize today's performance, correct mistakes, and find the opponent's weaknesses and strengths, so that it will be easier to win next time.

At the same time, it is also necessary to study a little about the games of other national teams, and the strong teams in other groups, after qualifying for the group stage, are also strong opponents and stumbling blocks on the way to the championship of country Z.

So it must be understood as well.

But today is too tired, Yu Wenzhou did not let everyone copy today's game, but took a collective rest, the next two days, there was no game for them, they had time to study the video replay of the opponent.

In three days, the first round of research in the group stage of the World Invitational Championship was completed.

Group A, that is, a group of six teams, English Blue team 22 points temporarily ranked first. Morocco is second with 21 points, Glumbia is third with 18 points, Solomon is fourth with 17 points, Australia is fifth with 15 points, and Ulagai is at the bottom with 13 points.

The six teams in Group B are Team D, Team F, Team Samoya, Team Xinxilan, and Team Yilang. Team Salvador.

Team D ranked first with 22 points, Team F ranked second with 21 points, Xinxilan team was third with 18 points, Yilang team was fourth with 16 points, and Samoya team was fifth with 14 points. Salvado's team finished last with 12 points.

The six teams in Group C are Team Taralia, Team Z, Ni Hitachia, Papua, Team Yamecca, and Team Nigaragua.

Team Z is first with 22 points, Qatar is second with 20 points, Niri Ritachi is third with 18 points, Egypt is fourth with 17 points, Papua is fifth with 14 points, and Yamecca is first from the bottom with 4 points.

Group D is the following remaining teams: Leeds, Costaga, Somari, and H Nation. Eight West Team, Ah Genting Team.

The Eight West team and the H national team have the same points, both with 21 points, tied for first, Argentina is third with 20 points, Leeds is temporarily fourth with 19 points, Costaga is fifth with 16 points, and Somali is first from the bottom with 12 points.

It can be seen from the results of the first round that the strength of that sub-division is slightly inferior, and where the level of the sub-division is higher.

Although only one game has been played, it is not yet possible to confirm which team will advance in the group stage, but the level of strength can still be seen through the game.

At least those teams with more than 20 points are definitely the strongest teams in this World Invitational Tournament.

Among these strong teams, the most concerned is the Z country team, because only the Z country team played an 18-point game.

It's horrible to suppress your opponent's score at 4!

Therefore, players from all over the world have begun to pay attention to and study the Z national team.

At the beginning, they didn't take the Z country team in their eyes, but now they are carefully looking for the information of the Z country team players one by one, although it is a bit of a feeling of grinding guns, but it is better than not grinding rust, it is still much better.
