Both sides had sent out their second player in the group arena, but the atmosphere in the stadium seemed to have paused at the first matchup. When Mo Fan walked towards the stage, the crowd members in the away team seats clapped wildly, but because the Samsara fans were still downcast, the overall atmosphere felt rather oppressive. No boos or taunts were thrown towards the opposing side.
The atmosphere in the stadium could affect how a player performed, especially more emotional players. For them, the more intense the crowd, the more exhilarating it was. It didn't matter if the cheers were aimed towards them or the other side, the cheers could help ignite their fighting spirit all the same.
The atmosphere in Samsara's stadium was abnormal. It was only the second player in the group arena, but because of Zhou Zekai's defeat, the crowd seemed to be dispirited and cold.
