Chapter 1116 The quarter-finals are announced, countdown to the finals
The beast master and others in the club are also looking forward to the upcoming list of the top eight in the offline finals.
However, Fang Yun knew in his heart that there was a high probability that the official announcement would not be made immediately today.
There is a full five-day offseason between the All-Star group stage and the offline competition. During this period, the players who have reached the top eight need to carry out character transfers, and the officials also need to use this time to conduct offline competition venues.
Final layout and testing.
However, if there is no competition for a long time, the popularity of the All-Stars will inevitably cool down. Therefore, while the officials are busy arranging for offline competitions, they must also use some means to maintain the popularity of the All-Stars online.
It is a good method to officially announce the list of the top eight and announce the results of the offline competition qualification draw.
However, this thing actually cannot withstand too much scrutiny. Anyone who is interested can know roughly which eight teams will break into the quarterfinals as long as they roughly watch the two days of group stage matches.
The most typical example is Sujiu.
At this time, she did not gather with everyone to chat and spank. Instead, she wrote and drew alone with a notebook. It didn't take long for her to list the top eight.
"Well...it's basically nothing unexpected."
Taking the notebook with the list of the top eight from Sujiu's hand, Fang Yun glanced at it and nodded lightly, with no surprise in his expression.
Although all the All-Stars this year are ruthless characters, there are also differences in strength between the ruthless characters, and these gaps are not small.
From the moment the group stage team rosters were announced, Fang Yun already knew which teams had the best chance of breaking into the top eight.
And with all the group matches being played today, almost all of the teams he had previously been optimistic about had successfully entered the quarterfinals, as if they were scripted.
Returning the notebook to Sujiu, Fang Yun stood up, clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, "Okay, the first half of the All-Star Game is over. The next game will not start until a week later. If you have anything to do, you can
Let’s go first, stay if you have nothing to do, and let’s have a dinner and relax together in the evening!”
Hearing this, Master Beast immediately raised his hand and shouted: "After two days of hard work, I finally finished the group stage. It's so boring to go home. I have to have a good drink at night!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, others also spoke in agreement.
"Drink, drink, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight!"
"It's been too long between the group stage and the offline competition. I don't know what NetEase is doing..."
"This offline competition is held in Shanghai. Not to mention other teams, it takes more than two hours to get there by plane from the capital, and even longer by car or train. Of course, Wangyi must try his best to get there.
Leave more time for the participating teams to travel.”
"Should Netizen be responsible for reimbursing this toll, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, let's wait for the official announcement tomorrow..."
Whether everyone who has finished the group stage has appeared or not in the past two days, it does not hinder their desire to indulge today.
However, since everyone knows that the schedule is only halfway through, while everyone is relaxing, they are still inseparable from the upcoming offline finals.
A group of people stayed in the club until late at night. Fang Yun specially called the kitchen and invited two chefs to bring a bunch of ingredients to the club to help them cook a sumptuous dinner.
It wasn't until everyone was dizzy after eating and drinking that they dispersed one by one.
Fang Yun didn't even drive his own car. With Li Sitong's support, he wandered along the forest path back to his villa, went upstairs to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, and lost consciousness.
…
The next day, noon.
Mimi Huhudi opened her eyes, feeling her brain hurt a little. Fang Yun got out of the bed with an arm, picked up the phone on the bedside table and glanced at it.
"Damn it, it's almost twelve o'clock?!"
When he saw the big 11:53 on the screen of his mobile phone, he was shocked as he had never woken up so late before, and he immediately became energetic.
But after regaining his composure, he quickly came to his senses——
What a shame, I'm not at work!
When he thought of this, he immediately wanted to go back and take a nap, but the faint sound of cooking from downstairs made him understand that if he didn't get up, he would be forced to do so by his little apprentice.
After getting up from the bed and getting into the bathroom, Fang Yun finally felt like he was alive after taking a hot bath. He left the bedroom and went to the restaurant on the first floor.
"Are you up, Master? Come and have some tea first. Lunch will be ready soon."
Seeing him coming downstairs, Li Sitong, who was standing busy in the kitchen, immediately handed over a cup of warm tea.
"You do it slowly, I'll do it first."
After taking a sip of tea, Fang Yun felt that his dry throat felt much better. Fang Yun did not stay in the kitchen. He first walked around the yard outside twice to breathe in the fresh air, and then returned to the study on the second floor.
Sitting down in front of the computer, he did not rush to log in to the game, but first opened the web page and entered the official fantasy website.
The second All-Star group match came to an end at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and the official list of the top eight was not officially released until 10 o'clock this morning.
After entering the official website, he glanced up and was immediately attracted by a very conspicuous news headline.
"Full power! Fantasy Westward Journey 2008 Martial Arts Altar All-Star Competition Top Eight are born!"
Looking at the news title that was specially highlighted in red and bold by the editor, Fang Yun nodded and entered the page with a click of the mouse.
"This is an event that spans time and space. From 2008 to 2009, and from online PK to offline, the scale of the 2008 Martial God Altar All-Star Competition is self-evident!
In the three realms, heroes emerge in large numbers;
Chivalrous and heroic men, they make friends through martial arts!
Only those who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation can fight here and have a happy showdown!
Fantasy Westward Journey 2008 Martial God Altar All-Star Competition is not only an end-of-year PK carnival for all server players, but also a pinnacle showdown between top league servers, and it is also the best stage for players to prove themselves!
In the end, the top eight will gather in the Magic City offline finals to launch the final sprint for the championship!
The top eight list of the 2008 Wushentan All-Star Game is released——
After two days of brutal competition on December 30th and 31st, the top eight servers were finally produced. They are: Bianliang City, Deyang Confucian Temple, Zhenbao Pavilion, Huangyao Ancient Town, Zizhulin, Huilongtan, Xinghaiwan, and Lingyun Temple.
The representative teams of the top eight servers will be invited to the Magic City to participate in the Martial Arts Stars Tournament Finals to be held from January 6th to January 7th, 2009.
There are new tricks in the new year, and the "banning mechanism" is about to hit for the first time——
In the upcoming semi-finals, third place competition and championship competition of the Martial God Altar All-Star Competition, the "no selection mechanism" will be introduced for the first time...
Who can stand out and have the last laugh? The answer will be revealed soon!
It's the New Year's Day of 2009, and the top eight servers of the 2008 Martial Arts All-Star Tournament have been born. Next is the much-anticipated offline Magic City Finals!
I believe that both the participating team members and the players watching the game will be equally full of excitement and anticipation.
Which team will have the last laugh and take away generous online and offline gifts such as the champion Chi You trophy, the champion Martial God diamond ring, generous bonuses, and Chi You figures?
Let us continue to pay attention to every exciting moment of the upcoming Martial Arts All-Star Competition!"
After reading the news carefully from top to bottom, Fang Yun couldn't help but smack his lips.
I have to admit that maybe it is because of the deep relationship with Fantasy Westward Journey that I have been having for two lifetimes. As his city of Bianliang officially entered the All-Star offline finals, thinking about the grand occasion at that time, he was mentally three years old.
Even now that I'm ten years old, I still can't help but feel a little excited.
Even he is like this. One can imagine how Beast Master Huang He and others, as well as the other players from the top eight teams, will react at this time.
Feeling a little emotional, he read it twice more to make sure that nothing was missing, and then closed the news page.
After closing the top eight list, he turned his eyes and was quickly attracted by another piece of news.
"Announcement on the draw for invitations to watch the All-Star Offline Game..."
After glancing at the news title, he didn't click on it, but went directly to the forum page.
He is a player himself, and this offline game viewing quota means nothing to him.
And he also knew that this so-called viewing quota was actually quite empty.
If there is not much difference from the previous life, when the offline competition officially starts, everyone will find that you can actually enter the venue to watch the game without a ticket, but there are no exclusive seats and game viewing gift packs to receive.
Without thinking any more, after the forum page was loaded successfully, he picked up the cup on the side and started shopping leisurely while drinking tea.
"Crazy five-game winning streak, the only 'true god' Bianliang City advances to the offline finals!"
"The top eight of the All-Star offline finals are announced, and Bianliang City ranks first!"
"The defending champion is coming fiercely, where will the other top seven go?"
"Can the 'siege' tactic continue?"
"About the details of the offline finals viewing process..."
Looking at the "sensational" headlines one after another, Fang Yun was a little amused, thinking that regardless of their gender, these guys were really good at setting the rhythm.
It is conceivable that as Bianliang City completed five consecutive group stage wins in a crushing manner and easily entered the offline finals, they have now become the undisputed devil in the hearts of all players and the other top seven players. I am afraid that there will be a slight disturbance.
It will attract a lot of attention.
As for whether the other seven teams will continue the so-called 'siege' tactic, Fang Yun is not worried at all. After all, the previous teams in the group stage have proven how unreliable this thing is. Rather than always wanting to fight Bianliang City to death,
Instead of knocking, it’s better to try to gain two more points from other opponents.
Sliding the mouse wheel, he picked around and finally clicked on a post with a title that was not so 'scary' but still quite popular.
"This time the top eight teams are stronger than the last. It's going to be a good show!"
"Come on, just ask me to say four words, and I will follow you!"
"Damn it, grandson, which district are you from? We in Bianliang City don't dare to brag like this. Why don't you show a gouba rhythm here?"
"Actually, Deyang Confucian Temple is also very strong this time. It also won five consecutive games in the group stage and crushed the game. It just took a little longer than Bianliang City in total. It is still very competitive."
"It doesn't matter to us at Zhenbao Pavilion, as long as we can get a piece of meat from Bianliang City, everything else will be up to chance!"
"It's been a year, brother, do you still hold a grudge?"
"It's up to you. Anyway, I have already grabbed the tickets. I have only one goal in going to the offline competition this time, to kill a thousand cities alone!"
"Brother, you are still young, don't go down the road of crime!"
"Can't you sell the tickets, buddy? You are definitely going in anyway, so why not give it to me..."
Looking at the discussion below this post, Fang Yun scratched his head for a while.
He has long been accustomed to those rhythmic ones. After all, whenever the competition comes, these cubs will never be absent.
The only thing that made him laugh or cry was that someone actually tried to kill him offline. From this, we can know how much he is hated by people now.
But he hoped that the guy was just talking about it, otherwise if he really came to kill him alone, Fang Yun would definitely kill him.
After browsing the forum for a while, it wasn't until Li Sitong called him downstairs that he closed the website and went downstairs to eat.
During the meal, his phone kept ringing. One moment, Beast Master called him and told him how excited he was, and the next moment, Liu Siyu called him to ask when he would leave for the Magic City.
Even Sujiu called him and asked him if he was awake. After learning that he was having lunch, he asked him if he wanted to book a flight to Shanghai now.
After telling her to call her back later, Fang Yun turned off his phone, looked at Li Sitong who was snickering across from him, and shook his head helplessly.
Originally, he thought he would be able to take a break for two days after finishing the group stage, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be the opposite. Instead, he was even busier than when he played the game.
After lunch in a hurry, Fang Yun was about to help Li Sitong clear the table when he saw his cell phone ringing again.
After answering the call, Fang Yun sighed when he heard the voice of his exclusive customer service Xiao Qing, and could only patiently chat with the other person.
The purpose of Xiaoqing's call this time was very simple, which was to invite him to participate in the All-Star Offline Finals on behalf of the official, and to ask if he needed help booking air tickets to Shanghai and hotel accommodation. Everything was paid for by NetBill.
Although he really wanted to grab a handful of Internet billionaires, he had his own plans, so he could only decline Xiaoqing's kindness. He just told her that he and his team would arrive in Shanghai two days before the competition and that all the itinerary would be arranged by himself.
But there will never be any delay in participating in the competition.
After hanging up the phone with Xiaoqing, Fang Yun helped Li Sitong clear the dining table and then went back to the study on the second floor.
There were still five full days before the offline competition, and he didn't want to leave for the Magic City so early. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place there, so it was better to have a good rest in the capital for two days.
Returning to the study room on the second floor, he had just logged into Qiancheng's account when he saw that the gang channel of Jinfeng Xiaoyulou suddenly became very lively because of his online presence!
"The boss is online!"
"When are you coming to the Magic City, boss? I'll help you cleanse yourself from the dust!"
"Boss, I've already bought the tickets, and we'll see you in the Demon City when the time comes!"
"Take me one, take me one!"
"Hahaha, finally I can have sex with my boss offline, brothers, please wait for the photos!"
"Gan! Why do they have to be No. 6 and No. 7? It would be great if it's New Year's Day, so I can compete with the boss on the bayonet..."
Looking at the lively gang channel, Fang Yun was also happy, thinking that it was indeed the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building where all the heroes gathered. He hadn't even set off here yet, but all the gang members couldn't help but want to go there.
