All 10 franchised esports teams have settled their CrossFire divisions in Chengdu. In addition, CrossFire’s world championship event—CrossFire Stars (CFS) 2023—will also be held at Chengdu Gaoxin Gymnasium in December. As Chen mentioned: “Connect to the World from Chengdu.” 
  3. The CFPL Summer Finals will be held at Beijing National Aquatics Center (Water Cube), which hosted the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and has over 6,000 seats.

The CFPL is China’s top CrossFire franchise league and currently has six sponsors including automobile brand Buick, Chinese dairy brand Bright Dairy, Sony, Alienware, gaming chair AutoFull, and Chinese shoe brand Warrior. 

Chen also noted during his presentation that the sponsorship between CFPL and Buick is for three years, and CFPL has seen over 10,000 users purchase Buick automobiles.
