March 21st is undoubtedly a busy day for practitioners in the game field.
In the first round of Contest for Hegemony S3, a total of 13,352 matches were played at the same time. Even ignoring the contests between non-professional teams with relatively different scenes, there are almost endless battle reports worth following up.
Of course, the most eye-catching big news is naturally the peak duel between [Gods] and [Order].
There are many points worth reporting and paying attention to in this game, and one of the most popular topics is—who else can stop [Swallowing Ghost Xiao]
Although the general public has many different answers to this question, it is clear that the answer "Feng Bujue" appears most frequently.
I don't know when Juege has become a "special solution" that people immediately think of when they face various "impossible problems".
How to fold a piece of paper in half more than seven times? Let Feng Bujue try it.
How to divide a prime number by a natural number other than 1? Let Feng Bujue try it.
How to defeat the ghost who swallowed the sky? It seems that Feng Bujue can only have a try.
It can be said that Jue Ge's various actions in the horror park over the past year have now blossomed; such "popularity", whether it is good or bad, at least shows that he is in the "candidate game". Among them, there is the appearance of a king.
...
March 22, zero o'clock.
The match list for the second round of S3 was announced on the official website on time.
As in the first round, the matches of those seeded teams will naturally attract much attention.
However, this round did not feature the focus of [Order] VS [Gods]; any strong team whose name the player can name, as well as those teams with first-line star players, will be in this second round. was staggered.
Even so, the visibility and attention of the game is still high; because... In the first round of the game, a team composed of many "folk masters" showed amazing strength, and it seemed that it was enough to threaten those professional teams Degree.
Therefore, in the twenty-four hours after the announcement of the list, both the data analysis team of professional studios and the think tanks of non-professional teams have been intensively studying the first-round video of their opponents... Really The "intelligence war" officially started from this round.
...
On March 23rd, at zero o'clock, the second round of S3 began.
A total of 13,353 teams participated in this round, of which 13,352 teams will start duels, and the remaining team will have a bye; except for the bye team that advances directly, the rest of the teams will still be cut in half... After the game, 6,676 teams will be eliminated .
[Hell Front] The opponent they encountered this time was named [Controversial Alliance], a team composed of seven "former professional players".
In a sense, the two teams are also destined, because these "former professional players" were all former players of the Corpse Knife Studio.
Speaking of the corpse knife, the company has indeed had a lot of problems these days...
A few months ago, the boss of the corpse knife suddenly "evaporated" one night, and within a few days after that, their studio was approached by various relevant departments. After just one week of "investigation", the corpse knife ended up being searched and closed.
Although this is just a game studio, the wide chain of interests involved behind it is really eye-opening; during that time, rumors about the corpse knife were leaked almost every day-what was colluding with illegal pharmaceutical groups? , colluded with smuggling groups, and some even said that they were related to some kind of urban legend gambling organization... These news are true and false, not to mention outsiders, even the people inside them are confused.
To make a long story short, the investigation and disposal of the corpse knife by various departments appeared to be extremely efficient, and the matter was basically completed in two weeks; The force quickly turned to other fresher hot spots.
After that, many people in the management of Zombie Knife completely disappeared from the public's sight. Presumably, they will never have the opportunity to return to the game industry.
And those players who have come out of the corpse knife are not having a good time... Originally, their strength is relatively average. , It became black history; other studios would not spend extra public relations fees to recruit a few blue-collar players, and using them might as well use newcomers.
As a result, most of these former corpse knife players directly announced their retirement, became "former professional players", and then devoted themselves to the anchor industry.
Right now, the [Controversial Alliance] team facing [Hell Frontline] is composed of seven anchors who have been in the corpse knife.
Although they are "former professional players" and the characters they used were all retrained after the corpse knife was seized, but as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The game level and competition experience of these seven players... professional level.
In addition, since they crushed their opponents 3-0 in the first round, from an intelligence point of view, they did not reveal too much information, which can be said to be a rather tricky team.
Long story short again...
In the first three games of this round, Brother Jue ranked—
"Pioneer War": [Xu Huaishan]
"Battle of the Backbone": [Like the Rain, Ruo Li], [Between the Flowers on the Stone].
"Participating in the battle of generals": [Unconsciously]
… such a lineup.
In less than fifteen minutes, [Hell Frontline] quickly swept the opponent with a 3-0 advantage and successfully advanced to the third round.
By the way... Among the fifteen minutes, ten minutes were intermission.
...
In this way, the second round of competition ended in a warm but not intense atmosphere.
All the seeded teams can be said to have advanced without any surprises. There were no unexpected upsets, and there was no explosive point of the two-strong competition in the first round.
However, in those unseeded games, there are a few teams of casual players...or, rather, some standout regular players...that have drawn attention.
After two rounds of fighting, those hidden "experts", which ones are one-trick parallel importers, and which ones are real powerhouses with stable strength, almost have clues.
By the early morning of the 24th, the match list for the third round was announced.
Finally, the duel that can be called the "Focus Battle" reappeared.
This time around, there are two notable games—
The first game, [Heaven and Earth] vs. [Shanhe]... This is a duel between two veteran first-line studios, and it can be said to be a game of grievances.
In the second round, [Red Sakura] vs. [Heaven's Gate]... The former, after losing their absolute trump card [Xu Huaishang], still maintained a sweeping score and advanced to the third round. The new trump card they are now focusing on cultivating is also Highly anticipated; the latter, a team of casual players. [Heaven's Gate] also swept all the way to the promotion, and the four players who have appeared in the team so far have all shown professional-level...even dominant-level combat power, which also makes them extremely potential in the eyes of many people. of a dark horse.
