How come they’re so rich?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sponsorship, all of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ba could see the viewers’ comments, he would modestly say that he didn’t buy them, nor would he buy such impractical things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ergonomic chairs, monitors, and even the entire venue’s network services, are all sponsored...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In areas unnoticed by everyone, Huazi also sponsored this \"Golden Era\" league, providing full support for network communications and event broadcasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the pricey ergonomic chairs and 8K monitors are just appetizers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the teams had gathered and moved their respective \"DIY\" rigs to the center of the venue, the viewers in front of their screens were completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this thing a computer tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant black lump, roughly the size of a double-door refrigerator, and you’re telling me this is a computer tower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you said it was a server, I’d even believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are those people circling around the rig, donned in protective gear and holding large and small tanks?
