The next day was the finals of the World of Disputes.
Only when Jiang Qiao saw the finals did he understand how popular the game of Disputes was. The reports from various countries were as if they were reporting on the World Cup... all their attention was devoted to the finals of Disputes.
The stage for the finals is not a gymnasium, but a holographic projection pavilion that the Dispute official has invested hundreds of millions in building. This holographic projection pavilion uses China's technology and strives to provide the most realistic holographic projection experience.
Dispute officials have done it. Judging from the live broadcast effect, the holographic projection on the scene is very real, and there are even some equipment such as large hair dryers used to create on-site effects.
The live broadcast of this game alone has reached 220 million people! Dispute officials can brag without exaggeration that this is the most watched game in the history of human beings with Internet communication, and they even plan to announce it
What Guinness World Records.
As for the most watched final in human history, the final result was that Leap Nuclear won.
This victory was extremely brutal. The score between Yuedong Nuclear and Coke Frenzy was 6:6, and it was ultimately dragged into overtime and a personal battle decided the outcome.
In this overtime match, Juan Canyun was sent to face Caramel...Juan Canyun finally defeated this...senior who he may need to look up to in the Chinese e-sports circle with a slight advantage.
This may also mark the rise of newcomers in the e-sports circle. Regardless, Juan Canyun won all the honors in this game!
On the night after the game, even though Jiang Qiao lived in a community two blocks away from Wuhan University, he could still hear the boys in the Wuhan University apartment building shouting the slogan, "Leaping nuclear power is awesome!"
Not only Wuhan University, but all universities in China have entered the state of celebrating the New Year. There are also a lot of people posting on Weibo saying, "My youth is complete."
Jiang Qiao also followed suit and posted a Weibo post saying, "The nuclear power is awesome."
It's a pity that no one pays attention to Jiang Qiao's personal Weibo. At most, there are only some of Jiang Qiao's college classmates. Speaking of college... Wanxiang's college entrance examination has ended at the front end.
It's just that the days of confinement by her own mother are not over yet. Wanxiang may have to wait until the results of the college entrance examination are announced before Wanxiang can log in to the Holy Spirit.
During this time, Wanxiang could only send messages to Jiang Qiao on her mobile phone to ask about the Holy Spirit.
Although Leap Nuclear won the World of Disputes, their schedule is far from over... In order to participate in the Holy Spirit Challenge, the enthusiastic players of Leap Nuclear and Coke even decided to play the challenge directly in the Eagle Kingdom.
!
So on the second day after the World of Disputes ended, while Chinese e-sports fans were still immersed in carnival celebrations, the Holy Spirit Challenge officially kicked off.
The challenge uses a points system, and the points are the same as the ladder ranking... which means that the higher the ladder ranking, the more initial points you will get!
The eight players with the highest final points will qualify for the next round of eliminations.
The points match lasted for about five days. Jiang Qiao used the official Holy Spirit live broadcast channel to selectively broadcast live broadcasts of some of the more exciting contestants.
Among them was the competition between the ten professional players of Yuedong Nuclear who had just returned from the championship team. Of course, Jiang Qiao, the runner-up Coca-Cola fanatic player, did not miss it, followed by the incarnations of Freya.
This may be a live showdown higher than the members of the championship team Jumping Nuclear.
No matter how popular it is, the Holy Spirit Challenge is just an official event in the minds of most players, and it has nothing to do with professional competitions.
When the popularity was at its highest, it was not even as popular as Shen Meng, the anchor of the Holy Spirit Division. No... I don't know how much lower than Shen Meng. The highest it was, it was only ranked fifth or sixth.
Jiang Qiao doesn't care much about the low popularity of the Holy Spirit Challenge. This competition is not to attract attention to the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit really wants to hold any professional competition, Jiang Qiao will not do it so sloppily.
It's sloppy, but within five days of the official competition, the top eight players emerged one after another.
On the fifth day, Eternal Roche and Eternal Huzer advanced to the knockout round with an absolute points advantage and locked up two top eight seats. Freya won the game in the players' crowdfunding streak that night.
'I also successfully advanced to the next level.
On the sixth day, Mrs. Calamity, who had been fighting for almost half a month, also successfully advanced to the knockout round. However, Drake, who she brought with her to play... was beaten violently by the Grandmaster level players.
When Jiang Qiao was watching Drake's game, he felt that the pirate king was hiding his tricks. He did not take the game seriously, and his attitude towards losing in the end was a bit indifferent.
On the seventh day, a player finally confirmed his quota, and that was Caramel. In the end, he still failed to keep his position as the first in the Holy Spirit server.
However, Jiang Qiao, seeing Caramel's frantic pursuit of points on the ladder in recent times, seems to be planning to wash away his shame in the quarter-finals. The deeper reason may be that his defeat in the World of Disputes has changed his concept of winning and losing.
It becomes more and more intense.
This made Jiang Qiao very worried about his mental state. However, Coke Mania has a dedicated psychiatrist. When Coke Mania lost in the World Championship, the boss, Bubbles, also posted on Weibo and said, "I'm sorry we lost. The condition of the players."
We'll keep an eye on it.'
At the beginning of the eighth day, Zhao Mingwei also achieved his wish by advancing into the top ten of the national server, and at the same time qualified for the knockout round. That night, the rookie Juan Canyun, who was praised by various e-sports newspapers in China as the number one person in contemporary e-sports, also succeeded.
Got the qualification.
On the ninth day, only the last seat was left for the top eight. What surprised Jiang Qiao was that... the last seat did not belong to any of the e-sports giants in China, nor did it belong to an NPC, but to a high-scoring passerby player.
The ID is Jin Yi Zang Dao.
This high-ranking passer-by player is a frequent visitor to the top ten strongest kings, but Jiang Qiao has never paid much attention to it. But whether other professional clubs have paid attention to it...Jiang Qiao is not sure.
After all, the Holy Spirit has no official professional competitions yet, and Jiang Qiao has no plans to take the lead in organizing a Holy Spirit professional league for the time being.
In short, the top eight contestants of the Holy Spirit Knockout Tournament have been announced in nine days, Eternal Roche, Eternal Huzer, Incarnations of Freya, Lady Calamity, Caramel, Happy Game, Juan Canyun and Jinyi Hidden Knife.
There are exactly four NPCs and four players.
For the grouping of these eight players, Jiang Qiao directly pressed a random button and left the grouping to the goddess of fate to determine.
Goddess of Destiny seems to be a god who likes to play pranks. The final result of the quarter-finals matchup was...
Lady Calamity is against the incarnations of Freya, Curly Cangyun is against Jinyi Zangdao in the left half, Eternal Roche is against Happy Game, and Eternal Huzel is against Caramel in the right half.
"What kind of devilish grouping is this?" Jiang Qiao could already imagine a lot of weird plots as he watched the groups come out.
"I think it's okay. These two Eternals don't have much chance of winning when they meet our two strongest Holy Spirits." Hai Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with this grouping.
"Uh...I mean...well, it's actually no problem, just announce it like this."
Jiang Qiao thought for a while that this kind of drama seemed to be what he wanted to see, so he directly announced the groupings for the quarterfinals.
