The top 16 matches of the Holy Spirit League are held at the King's Arena outside Lionheart City.
This arena is a venue specially built for the Holy Spirit League. The overall structure refers to the structure of the stadium. The auditorium can accommodate about 100,000 players to watch the game.
Players can go to the Xinyi Store to redeem tickets for watching the game. Each ticket is worth fifty Xinyi, one hundred Xinyi, or one hundred and fifty Xinyi.
Tickets cannot be traded, and each player can only redeem one ticket per day.
There will be four duels today, all of which will be team matches, using a bo3 format, which means that any team that wins three games can declare victory!
Now the coke-crazed players have been teleported to the player lounge of the King's Arena.
The day has finally arrived.
Caramel placed the moonlight sword across his knees, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Three months ago, Caramel didn't bother to engage in these metaphysical things, such as yoga, meditation, etc. He thought they were useless things.
But now Caramel's temperament is much more restrained than he used to be...but this does not make him become 'harder', but rather he has learned to hide his 'sharp' side.
Meditation is something Caramel felt during the training process. It may be an illusion or some kind of psychological effect. He has the illusion that he can communicate with the moonlight sword in his hand.
Not only the Moonlight Sword but also other weapons are the same, but the connection between the Moonlight Sword and him is stronger.
"Captain, it's our turn." Coke's fanatical nanny contestant Can said to Caramel.
"Well, let's go together."
Caramel opened his eyes, as if speaking to his teammates, but also to himself.
But his voice was filled with a slight tremor. This tremor was not due to fear, but to excitement.
Finally, I can face off against Thorne again!
Caramel has not met Thorne once in the past three months. He can feel his progress, but no one can test how far he has progressed.
And today is the time to test him!
Caramel led his teammates out of the long tunnel and onto the highly anticipated arena.
The arena in the Holy Spirit is hundreds of times more lively than the arena in reality. After the players saw the coke-crazed players entering the arena one after another, they all set off fireworks and made all kinds of strange expressions.
For a time, the entire auditorium was occupied by various colorful special effects.
Frontline reporters and Star Scriveners still serve as commentators, but they have higher salaries and more powerful commentators than real commentators.
Their commentary booth is suspended above the arena.
"Let us welcome the first team, Coke Fever! As one of the best e-sports teams in China, their performance in the Holy Spirit was also outstanding! They successfully won the finals with the second place in the qualifying points.
Qualified for the top 16, the team’s player Caramel is the holder of the number one ranking on the Holy Spirit Ladder! The most terrifying thing is that since the launch of the Holy Spirit server, Caramel’s number one position on the ladder has not been shaken by anyone!”
The frontline reporters opened the first game of the top 16 with impassioned voices!
The coke-crazed players lined up to stand on the competition stage, and the cheers from the audience were loud enough to overwhelm the frontline reporters with a loudspeaker system.
The frontline reporter introduced the Coke-crazy contestants one by one.
The cheers were the loudest when Captain Caramel was finally introduced.
Caramel waved slightly to the cheering audience on the field. Caramel's reputation in the finals has been completely established, even more famous than the dispute.
The title of Holy Spirit's No. 1 Swordsman definitely belongs to Caramel alone. In addition, the Holy Spirit game has the largest swordsman player base. All swordsman players in the server regard Caramel as their target!
"The next team is the one that advances to the top 18 with the first place in the qualifying points! The team composed of the well-known Four Horsemen and the man you absolutely don't want to see! The Holy Spirit Team!"
When the frontline reporters began to introduce the Holy Spirit Team and Thorne... Caramel felt it keenly. He felt that his teammates were trembling, and the expression on his face was also very solemn.
They are all afraid, afraid that they will lose miserably in the first game.
The reason is very simple. Their opponent is Thorn, a monster-level NPC who has educated them in three versions since the other world version.
Caramel is also afraid, Thorne is an impossible opponent to defeat in the eyes of all Holy Spirit players.
In the past, Caramel and Thorne played against each other a total of 723 times! And then lost a total of 723 times!
Thorne used his strength to tell Caramel...there are some things that cannot be bridged by game values.
"There is no retreat! We have to defeat Thorne here!" Caramel said to the teammates beside him.
They must win against Thorne. The top 16 is definitely not the end of Coke Mania!
And Caramel has been looking forward to this game for a long time. His eyes are fixed on the entrance of the contestants on the other side. He wants to use his strength to tell Thorne that he has become stronger again!
"Let us welcome the Holy Spirit Team!" the frontline reporter repeated what he had said before.
At this moment, Caramel suddenly realized that something was not right. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the commentary box. The frontline reporters seemed to be confirming something with someone.
The audience, who were still cheering, suddenly stopped cheering and looked strangely at the passage of players entering the Holy Spirit Team on the other side.
But...no one, not Thorne or the Four Knights, they saw.
what happened?
Caramel stood there and waited for about three minutes. The frontline reporter announced a piece of news that made him stunned.
"I'm sorry everyone, the Holy Spirit team has announced that it will abstain due to some reasons! Let us announce that the Coke Mania team has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!" said the frontline reporter.
This sentence caused an uproar in the audience, which had been waiting for a long time. Even Caramel widened his eyes and looked at the frontline reporters.
"Abstain? What does abstention mean!" Caramel loudly asked the frontline reporters in the commentary box, because only the frontline reporters knew the inside story.
The Holy Spirit team, which was originally the strongest contender for the championship, just gave up? Why?
"Because player Thorne gave up the game before the game! The substitute player was unable to participate due to injury. Let us give our applause to the first top eight team, Coke Mania!" Frontline reporters also tried their best to save the embarrassment on the field.
Thorne... gave up the game?
Caramel was stunned at this moment, the other Coke-maniac contestants breathed a sigh of relief, and Can even couldn't help laughing.
But for Caramel, there was only an unspeakable anger. He wanted to go to the guy to ask why he gave up the game, but found that he didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, a thought came to Caramel's mind. Maybe this game is not that important to Thorne at all!
No matter what happened, in the first round of the top 16, Coke Mania successfully advanced! The Holy Spirit team was defeated because Thorne abandoned the game.
