[00:00] The countdown in the arena and all across the world as livestreams and television broadcasts began, reached zero. The twenty thousand strong audience erupted into applause and cheers as they watched the opening theme video be played on the screens across the venue. It features a pixelated version of the city of Lipa, with the text 'LOADING..." overlayed, which then shifts into the real city, and pixel blocks fly across the night sky.
[00:15] They pass the most famous and key attractions, monuments and sights of the city, all congregating eventually at The Lipa Dome, where pixelated fireworks go off as the video centres in on it.
[00:49] It then quickly flies down to focus on the people arriving at the arena, some of which real people and some are characters - which have been specially designed for each delegation as they requested.
[01:23] As they move into the venue the camera follows them, flying in the main entrance and circling around where there are 'coins' as if the arena had became a game map. People grabbed them as they walked past, each time a '5XP' text appearing above them.
[01:46] Backstage the camera flies past the staff working on the background things involved in the show, and there are also game characters walking through the back area, looking as if they are ready to go on stage. The music settles and finally the last shot is an enormous explosion of multi-coloured pixels right at the front of the main stage in the dome. The final shot is of the real live audience in the venue... and the parade of nations begins.
