March 21st is undoubtedly a busy day for those working in the gaming field.
In the first round of Apex Contest S3, a total of 13,352 games were played at the same time. Even if you ignore the relatively disparate contests between non-professional teams, there are almost endless battle reports worth following up on.
Of course, the most eye-catching big news is naturally the peak showdown between [Gods] and [Order].
There are many points worth reporting and paying attention to in this game, and one of the hottest topics is who else can stop [Swallowing Sky Ghost Xiao]?
Although the general public has many different answers to this question, it is obvious that... the answer "Feng Bujue" appears most frequently.
I don’t know when, Jue Ge has become a “special solution” that people immediately think of when facing various “impossible problems”.
How to fold a piece of paper in half more than seven times? Let Feng Bujue try it.
How to divide prime numbers with natural numbers other than 1? Let Feng Bujue try it.
How to defeat the Sky-Swallowing Ghost Xiao? It seems that Feng Bujue can only try it.
It can be said that all the actions that Brother Jue has done in the Thriller Paradise this year have now come to fruition; such "popularity", whether it is good or bad, at least shows that he is in the "Candidate Game".
In it, he has the appearance of a king.
…………
On March 22nd, the matching list for the second round of 0.3 was announced on the official website on time.
Just like the first round, the matchup between the seeded teams has attracted much attention.
However, there was no focus battle like [Order] vs [Gods] in this round; any strong team that players can name, as well as those with first-line star players, will be in this second round.
was missed.
Despite this, the visibility and attention of the game are still high; because... In the first round of the game, a team composed of many "private experts" showed amazing strength, and it seemed that it was enough to threaten those professional strong players.
The level of the team.
Therefore, in the twenty-four hours after the list was announced, both the data analysis team of the professional studio and the think tanks of the non-professional teams were all intensively studying the first-round game videos of the opponents in this round... Really
The "intelligence war" officially started from this round.
…………
At midnight on March 23, the second round of s3 begins.
A total of 13,353 teams participated in this round, of which 13,352 teams will start a duel, and the remaining team will get a bye; except for the bye team that directly advances, the other teams will still be cut in half... After the game, 6,676 teams will be
disuse.
[Hellfront] The opponent encountered this time is called [Controversy Alliance], which is a team composed of seven "former professional players".
In a sense, the two teams are related because these "former professional players" were all veterans of Corpse Knife Studio.
Speaking of corpse knives, the company has indeed experienced a lot of problems over the past few days...
A few months ago, the boss of Corpse Knife suddenly "disappeared" one night. Within a few days after that, their studio was approached by various relevant departments. After just a week of "investigation",
The corpse knife ended up being searched and closed.
Even though this is just a game studio, the breadth of the interest chain involved behind it is really eye-opening; during that time, violent news about Corpse Knife was revealed almost every day about its collusion with illegal pharmaceutical groups.
There is collusion with a smuggling group, and some people even say that they are related to some kind of gambling organization in urban legends... These reports are either true or false. Not to mention outsiders, even the people inside are confused.
To make a long story short, all departments were extremely efficient in the investigation and disposal of the corpse knife, and the matter was basically completed in two weeks; the revelations on the Internet did not last long, after all, "netizens only have less than a week's memory." People's attention
The focus soon shifted to other fresher hot topics.
After that, many people in Corpse Knife's management completely disappeared from the public eye, and it is likely that they will never have the opportunity to return to the gaming industry.
And those players who came out of Corpse Sword are not having a good life... Originally, their strength is relatively average. They can be like blue-collar workers in the first-line studio. When Corpse Sword falls, those who have stayed there
Experience becomes black history; other studios will not spend extra public relations fees to recruit a few blue-collar players, and it is better to use them than new people.
As a result, most of these former Corpse Knife players immediately announced their retirement, became "former professional players", and then joined the anchor industry.
Right now, the team [Hellfront] is facing off against [Controversy Alliance] is composed of seven anchors who have been in Corpse Knife.
Although they are "former professional players" and the characters they use are all re-trained after the Corpse Knife was confiscated, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The game level and competition experience of these seven people are undoubtedly...
It's a professional level.
In addition, since they crushed their opponents three to zero in the first round, from an intelligence perspective, they did not reveal much information, making them a rather tricky team.
Again, long story short…
In the first three games of this round, Brother Jue ranked
"Vanguard War": [Xu Huaishang]
"Backbone Battle": [Like Rain and Ruoli], [Between Flowers on the Stone].
"Participate in the battle of generals": [Crazy Bujue]
...such a lineup.
In less than fifteen minutes, [Hell Front] quickly swept its opponents with a three-to-zero advantage and successfully advanced to the third round.
By the way... among these fifteen minutes, ten minutes are intermission time.
…………
In this way, the second round of competition ended in a warm but not fierce atmosphere.
It can be said that all the seeded teams advanced without any surprises. There were no unexpected upsets, and there was no flashpoint like the two strong competition in the first round.
However, in those games of non-seeded teams, there were several teams of casual players...or, in other words, some ordinary players with outstanding performance...which had attracted the attention of all walks of life.
After two rounds of fighting, we almost have clues about the hidden "masters", which ones are parallel imports with fresh tricks, and which ones are the real strong ones with stable strength.
In the early morning of the 24th, the matching list for the third round was announced.
Finally, what can be called a "focus battle" duel appears again.
This time, there are two noteworthy games
The first game, [Heaven and Earth] versus [Mountain and River]... This is a duel between two established first-line studios. It can be said to be a grudge match.
In the second game, [Red Sakura] versus [Heaven's Gate]... the former, after losing their absolute ace [Xu Huaishang], still maintained a sweep of the score and advanced to the third round. The new ace they are now focusing on cultivating is also
is highly anticipated; the latter is a team composed of casual players. [Heaven's Gate] also swept the promotion all the way, and the four players currently on the team have all performed at a professional level... and can even be
Said to be a dominant combat power, this also makes them a dark horse with great potential in the eyes of many people. 8)
