She is like a graceful girl who is about to put on a dress called autumn; the remaining warmth of midsummer is the last ray of gauze tied around her waist, while the pressure of starting school and the haze of quarterly reports are like that
A pair of safety pants under the gauze.
Okay, let’s get down to business…
This September of 2055 is undoubtedly a paradise for horror. After the start of the preliminaries of Summit Contest S2, Dream Company launched a corresponding set of publicity plans, making this competition a hot topic. In just a few days,
All kinds of news related to it were spread overwhelmingly in all media. Even many mainstream media that disdain the game industry have reported on this matter. Its social attention is unprecedented.
In the gaming circle, this game has become the most eye-catching focus battle in recent years.
Five months after the launch of the server, the form of team battles, the ranking method of the points system... it is not difficult to see that this preliminary system has a vague meaning of "testing the quality of the studio".
If the final ranking of s1 was unconvincing due to too many unpredictable factors in the finals, then this time of s2...at least in the preliminaries, each team had no excuses.
In fact, most game studios have reached a consensus - the results of the preliminaries of Summit Season 2 are likely to determine the true strength ranking of each studio in the eyes of the majority of players.
Therefore, for those well-known game studios, starting from midnight on September 5th, a fifty-day secret war has begun...
Every day, the points they publish on their official website are an important cornerstone for victory.
For those professional players who are regarded as "stars", this is also a protracted trial.
The result of each round, the process of each team battle, and even every survival point lost in each duel... may have an impact on the team's preliminaries ranking.
From the perspective of a casual team, thirty-six games are just thirty-six wins and losses. In theory, 108 points is the best result.
But from the perspective of a strong professional team... 108 points is just "qualified". "Victory" is a must. As a team that wants to compete for the championship, it didn't even win in the preliminaries.
If you get it, then what confidence do you have to win all the way in the knockout round with so many strong opponents?
On the basis of a complete victory, they must also try their best to ensure that every game is won at the minimum cost and in the most efficient way... Only the team that achieves this to the extreme can make it to the preliminaries standings.
the apex of.
To put it simply, the teams pursuing the preliminaries rankings must take every game and every moment seriously in the thirty-six valid points matches, and there is no room for failure. It is impossible for them to hold the attitude of "win in the end anyway" like casual players.
If they play with the attitude of "just do it", they are destined to pay more than the average player, because... this is how they can be called "professional".
"Playing games with a salary" is never as easy as it sounds; to be fair, it is more stressful than doing something else with a salary. Even though the times are progressing, people's minds are still rigid.
Prejudices still exist... No one will say that football players are "paid to play football", and no one will say that swimmers are "paid to play in the water", but the profession of "professional players" is always regarded as negative.
Appraise through colored glasses.
In fact, there is no essential difference between professional players and professional athletes. They both require talent, hard work and a little bit of luck. They also have experience, technology, pressure resistance and professionalism. The biggest difference between them is nothing more than one aspect.
Use physical equipment or venues as competitive tools, while the other side uses virtual electronic programs as competitive carriers. Simply because the latter carrier’s entertainment tendency is greater than its tendency to exercise participants or brain power, its practitioners are looked at differently.
This is obviously unfair.
This time, Dream Company paid great attention to this point when promoting Arena of Valor S2 to the general public outside the gaming circle. One of their advertising slogans is "I don't understand why some people can make a living by playing games? Then come and see them."
What’s so special about it?”
As soon as such a slogan came out, not to mention the group of players who were involved in games, even those who knew nothing about the game industry or had never been to Thriller Park were all interested in this "peak competition".
Got interested.
And all of this... is all the preparation made by Dream Company for the "live broadcast" of the second half of the preliminaries.
By late September, when this kind of "only hear the news but never see the shadow" hunger marketing aroused people's curiosity, Dream Company took advantage of the situation and released a message - "Three days later, the second half of the preliminaries will be announced."
The live broadcast rights are subject to public bidding.”
This move not only allowed them to recoup all their previous publicity costs, but also made a huge profit...
Of course, these are all things for later. At least before September 20th, no one knew that the games in the later stages of the preliminaries would be broadcast live. At the moment, most players are still focusing on how to play well.
On the competition.
Almost no one noticed... at the beginning of this fifty-day preliminaries cycle, the prelude to Ragnarok... had quietly begun.
…………
The main universe, the boundary of the chaotic and scorched earth.
On the edge of this void, a huge door stands quietly - the Door of Nothingness.
Back then... the battle between gods and demons was earth-shattering. In the end, the Governor used all his power to use a life form with dual characteristics of gods and demons as the sealing hub, sealing the fighting demon inside the door.
Countless years later... the ancient demon guardian successfully escaped from the seal by absorbing the demon-fighting energy that seeped out of the door, and has disappeared.
Fortunately, the Seal of the God of War was indestructible, and even after losing its "wedge", it still persisted for a long time.
However... these days have come to an end today.
Karakra...
After a dull crashing sound, the dark door was shattered into pieces.
In an instant, an incredibly dense ultimate demonic energy swept out from the door.
Then, heavy footsteps came from the door...
Bang, bang, bang...
A gigantic figure walked slowly out from inside the door. Every time it took a step, the whole earth would tremble.
But... just when it reached the door and was only one step away from stepping out, it stopped.
"Huh?" it said to itself, "Have I stayed in the 'nothing' for too long...or has something changed in this universe..."
While speaking, it had already raised one hand (front paw) and stretched it out of the door. As a result... within two seconds, its hand exploded from the inside.
The dark demonic blood flowed down, emitting a strong and distant smell as fragrant as old wine.
This... is the physical sign of the most extreme "demon". From a data point of view, every drop of blood on its body and every breath it exhales are all highly condensed energy. It is the same as the fishy smell emanating from the body and the body.
Compared to ordinary things with evil spirits, there is simply a world of difference.
"Is this really the 'universe' I used to be in... Why is the 'pressure' so small..." Dou Mo retracted his hand, and many black fiber substances repaired its stumps at a speed visible to the naked eye. "
It seems it will take me some time to adapt to this new environment."
As it spoke, it secretly channeled magic energy and began to correct its body.
Wrapped in the demonic energy, its figure began to shrink rapidly, and gradually... turned into a human form.
Finally, after about three minutes, "it" became "he".
At this time, Dou Mo has transformed into a naked human man. He is about 1.9 meters tall, has a well-proportioned body, and a gloomy appearance. He has pale skin as white as frost, and a head of naturally curly black hair. Looking at his exposed
There is nothing different about the body from ordinary people.
"Huh..." After successfully transforming, Dou Mo took a deep breath, and then he stepped out of the door that had trapped him for hundreds of millions of years (in "nothing", the feeling of time will become infinite)
Through the door, we officially stepped into the main universe of Thriller Paradise. (To be continued...)
