In late September, the preliminaries of Peak Contest S2 are in full swing, and the live broadcast and recording of the game have officially started. ◎
Although the "Gathering of Heroes" will last until October 25th, most teams will decide their final points in the first thirty-six days. So... if this preliminaries are compared to a long-distance race, then this
It’s time to enter the second half of the journey soon.
At this time, looking back at the schedule of the previous half month, it can be described as basically uneventful. Except for the close encounter between Corpse Sword Team 1 and Order Team 1, there were no encounters between strong teams. Overall
Generally speaking, most professional teams are advancing all the way and winning unstoppably.
It was not until this stage that the casual players with a huge base in the middle and lower levels of the game seemed to have come to their senses... It turns out that the points system is more cruel than the elimination system or the S1 win selection system. Under this competition system,
The teams that can enter the semi-finals must be strong teams with excellent strength. The teams that work hard to level up before the game and barely reach the competition standards have no chance at all.
Ever since, since mid-September, some voices of dissatisfaction have gradually spread on the forum. Such as "Dream Company's competition system does not give casual players a chance to advance at all", "If you are not a professional team, you can't play the game?",
and "Going against the masses will shake the foundation of the game"... Posts with obvious strong resentment appeared one after another.
For similar voices, Dream Company’s official response seems justified.
The customer service department even leaked this reply - "Dear dear, let me use basketball as an example. If... you find three or five friends who like basketball, you can get an advantage in a basketball game."
Based on the performance of five professional basketball players, there is something wrong with the competition system."
Yes, this is the attitude of Dream Company, and they have always had this attitude...
…………
By the early morning of October 10th, more than 70% of the participating teams had joined the queue during this period and conducted their 36th preliminaries. And almost all professional teams had announced themselves before the early morning of this day.
The final results of the preliminaries.
Team 1, Team 2, and Team 4 of Order; Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3 of Gods; Blades, Heaven and Earth, Rivers and Lakes, Stars...these strong teams that everyone is familiar with all showed off their winning records on this day.
It's just that... since each studio updates the results of its teams in real time on their official websites every day, there doesn't seem to be much of a surprise when the final three points are settled.
However, as the saying goes, the moon shines over Jiuzhou, making some people happy and others sad.
There are teams that have a complete victory, and naturally there are teams that have not achieved a complete victory... Among them, the most depressing team is probably the Corpse Sword 1st Team.
It stands to reason that their strength is by no means inferior to those teams that have won all the games. Unfortunately... they met the first team of Order once, which directly caused them to enter the second tier. Although they scored 105 points, they have a high chance of entering the semi-finals. But
That "defeat" is ultimately a shame that cannot be erased.
…………
Let’s talk about our Hell Front team. Their results were consistent with Feng Bujue’s expectations—complete victory; and this record was achieved even though Brother Jue had been sitting on the bench for a long time.
Of course, since the official promotion list and the points of the promoted teams have not yet been announced (it will not be announced until all preliminaries are completed), so far, Hell Front is still a little-known team.
It is worth mentioning that starting from October 8th, Dream Company has canceled the security protection option in the game. In other words, each team... will have at least three games in the preliminaries. Videos will be retained.
Faced with this situation, Brother Jue also made a very cunning response... Under his instruction, the last three rounds of the Hell Front were all fought with the Blood Corpse God as the main force. But Xiaotan and the others
It is to hide the strength as much as possible.
In this way, even in the rematch stage, the information of these Hell Front players is still a mystery. Even if the opponent studies their game videos, the conclusion that can be drawn is nothing more than - this team has a call that can be called heaven-defying.
Biological things, nothing more.
…………
October passed by in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, it’s late autumn.
On October 25th, the "Gathering of Heroes" came to an end. Kemen Company did not announce the results of the preliminaries immediately. Instead, they suppressed the results of the preliminaries for a whole week on the grounds of "statistical data".
During these seven days, Dream Company held a product launch conference and launched an "economical game cabin"; it also took advantage of the situation to announce that the "Crazy Thinking 1.0 official version" has been developed and will be officially launched after the end of S2.
News; by the way, we also held a Halloween-themed offline event... In short, we didn't mention s2.
These actions... have puzzled all the players and even many outside media. It has also made many teams who are looking forward to the results of the preliminaries scratch their heads and have trouble sleeping and eating.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, but Dream Company did the opposite. There was a whole week of "halftime" between the preliminaries and the semi-finals of S2. This is undoubtedly... another clever idea of Woody.
Sometimes...in order to maintain the heat of something, it is necessary to cool down appropriately. This is called relaxation.
Sure enough, on November 1st, when the official website of Dream Company announced the update, it immediately set off a wave of S2 craze among all walks of life.
On that day, the rules for the second phase of Peak Contest S2 - [Fighting Four Worlds] were released.
But before that, the focus of people's attention is obviously still the promotion list and points ranking of the preliminaries.
According to the data provided by the system, among the 256 teams that successfully passed the preliminaries, the team with the lowest score actually had 104 points. In other words... in the thirty-six games, it reached 34 wins and two draws, which is just a handful.
The threshold for entering the semi-finals. A team that has lost one game can only advance if it wins all the remaining games; and a team that has lost two games, or has one loss and one draw, can say goodbye directly.
What is more surprising is that among the more than 200 teams that have advanced, there are about 70 teams of non-professional players... and among them, eight teams have entered the top 100. This data also makes
Those who were dissatisfied with the competition system shut up before. They are also non-professional players. They can win completely, or only lose one game, and only draw one game, but you are holding a winning rate of about 50% and clamoring that the competition system is unfair. Are you embarrassed?
Of course, among the top 100 teams, the number of professional teams still has an absolute advantage.
These one hundred teams all finished the game with a perfect victory record of 108 points, and the system ranks them as mentioned above... Calculate the numerical losses and time spent in each game,
Skill value acquisition, etc.
In the end, the team that ranked first... was the Gods' team.
This time they are really proud of themselves, having defeated their old rival Order and taking the top spot on a highly credible list.
And the five monsters of the Order team seemed to be ranked second... This result undoubtedly made the top management of Order Studio very dissatisfied.
The dream team was actually surpassed by their rivals in such a crucial ranking. Someone has to take the blame, right?
Therefore, as the captain, [Wushi Shenxuan] took the initiative to stand up and conduct a profound review with the leaders of the unit.
"It's because of my poor performance and poor leadership. In such a big competition, I only came in second place in the preliminaries. As the captain, I should bear the main responsibility." Such dumbfounding dialogue was the main content of his review.
Putting aside the competition between the two old and powerful teams, this list starts from third place and goes down. It is quite interesting to watch.
First of all, the third-ranked team is called "The Loser Alliance". This kind of team name with self-deprecating tendencies obviously does not belong to any professional studio. And their game videos only have three games. This shows that
They used the anonymity feature throughout the preliminaries and did not join the queue again after playing thirty-six games.
Such a mysterious dark horse will naturally attract a considerable amount of attention. However... after reading the list of members of this team, this sense of mystery disappeared. Because four of the five members of this team are
He is a master who reached the top 50 in the individual competition in S1.
They are: Uncle Useless Chai, Hong Hu, Zhaoying King and Juan Meng Huan. These first three are all well-known individual professional players, needless to say. And Juan Meng Huan's identity has already been gossiped about.
It’s clear—the former Corpse Knife ace has now joined the ranks of individual professional players.
Let’s look at the next few in the standings...Jianghu, Blade, Red Sakura Team, Hell Frontline, and then...Hye Emperor. And then...Corpse Sword Team 2, Order Team 2, Gods Team 2, Heaven and Earth...
…
That's right, the Ice Emperor, the Ice Emperor led by Master Atobe, achieved a complete victory in the preliminaries of Summit Contest S2... and judging from the overall data of the thirty-six games, he ranked second to Corpse Sword and Order.
The front of the second team is second only to the Hell Front... Even Feng Bujue was a little shocked when he saw this list...
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Hyokui is a team that comes from a game studio after all. Moreover, the "Difficult to Name Trio" is already famous, so this team cannot be called a dark horse.
After looking at the member list, the only real dark horse in people's eyes is "Hell Front".
Except for "Crazy Bujue" and "Wang Sigh", the other three members of the team are all nameless players with no information, including the two of them who are not professional players.
They are a team that does not belong to any game studio and is composed entirely of casual players, and... they have also ranked among the top ten in the preliminaries.
In hindsight... Hellfront seems to have become the home team in the minds of most casual players, and has also become the focus of research by major studios...
…………
November 2nd, midnight.
Somewhere in the suburbs of s city.
"Huh... It's already late autumn in the blink of an eye..." A middle-aged man wearing an old man's hat and black-rimmed glasses walked leisurely under a street light pole and breathed into the sky.
"I said...Deputy Section Chief Qi." Not far away, a young man happened to walk over, "You called me out to this wilderness in the middle of the night...could you be trying to kill people and silence them?"
"Haha..." Qi Zhi raised the brim of his hat and looked at Brother Jue with a smile, "I want to kill you and silence you, do I need to choose a situation?"
"That's true." Feng Bujue also smiled, "According to my inference... you found me a 'job in nine subjects'?"
"No." Qi Zhi immediately denied Brother Jue's inference, "There is indeed a 'nine-subject job' here..." He raised his hands to make a quotation mark gesture, "But it's not prepared for you...
What I’m going to do.”
"A deputy section chief of yours personally came out to do this field work?" Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately began to scan the surroundings vigilantly, "Have the Baltans already invaded the earth?"
"Okay, okay~ It's just a normal incident, don't make a fuss." Qi Zhi cast a disgusted look at Brother Jue, "Wasn't it Halloween the past two days? There are a lot of bad things happening outside, so the bureau is a little short of manpower these days.
, I can only go out more and run around."
"Oh~" Feng Bujue said, "Then you came to me to... give you a blow?"
"No, I have something else to ask you for." Qi Zhi replied, "It's just that I have work to do here and can't leave, so I can only ask you to come for a quick trip."
"Then what's going on?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"It's almost time to get back the ten years of skill I gave you." Qi Zhi continued.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue said in surprise, "So you have to pay it back?" Before he finished speaking, he instinctively took two steps back, "Wait... is it possible that there is still interest?"
"Do you think I'm a loan shark?" Qi Zhi continued, "You took back your power because you no longer need it."
"How can you see it?" Feng Bujue asked doubtfully.
"When I came to see you last month, I found that the power in your body has been almost diluted." Qi Zhi replied, "But... that power has not been integrated with my spiritual power.
But after using my spiritual power, I removed it from its origin to ensure its purity."
"Hey~ My strength is quite disciplined..." Feng Bujue must have understood what the other party meant, so he took advantage of the situation and complained.
"Whether you have moral integrity or not has nothing to do with me." Qi Zhi continued, "In short, now I have to bring out the spiritual power in your body, otherwise it will become a burden to you." He said this in a rather strange way.
He looked up and down at Brother Jue, "Presumably... after the spiritual power in your body is removed, the power you awakened... will also show its true face."
"Oh...that's why you called me to a place like this..." Feng Bujue seemed to notice something from the other party's words and expressions, and smiled evilly, "Haha...what if I have such a bad taste?"
The true face of power is the power of the devil that destroys heaven and earth. You just killed me in this uninhabited land, right?"
"Yes." At this moment, there was no smile on Qi Zhi's face, his expression was cold, and his answer... was also concise and concise, sonorous and powerful. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
