Remember in a second[Motan Literature Network]/for you.
Eight o'clock in the morning on August 7th.
Exactly seventy-two hours have passed since Feng Bujue received the request to "reach the full level within three days".
On such a morning that seemed nothing special, an explosive news appeared on the official website of Dream Company.
[Apex Contest s2 forum area is online today]
[The battle is over again, and the gods are coming again.]
[Working together, we are invincible.]
Players only need to open any webpage under the domain name of Dream Company, and a large pop-up window with this slogan will appear, which is really impossible to ignore...
"Ah... what should come will always come..." Feng Bujue, who was sitting in front of the computer and eating breakfast, reacted very flatly to this announcement.
Seeing this, someone must have already guessed it, that's right... After the "Last Supper", the "thing" that Woody told Brother Jue refers to this.
After all, Brother Jue is "someone above him". In this regard, ordinary players cannot compare. Of course, Woody only informed Brother Jue that the game was about to start three days in advance, and did not reveal too much about other rules and details.
"At this moment, those guys in the professional circle... must be crazy..." Feng Bujue laughed with a gloating expression when he drank the last sip of soy milk.
He guessed right... All the major studios took it for granted that the preliminaries of the peak competition s2 should start in November (the announcement of s1 mentioned that the competition is held every six months), so, at the time point of early August On the surface, they are still in a relatively relaxed state.
But they never expected... The rules of s2 are completely different from those of s1. Regardless of registration qualifications, preliminaries cycle, competition format, or ranking rewards... all can be called a shotgun change...
If we want to use a metaphor, the summit fight s1 is like a knockout grand prix organized by a small boxing league, and this time s2... is like the five major leagues in Europe.
"Anyway... Let's take a look at what was written first..." Feng Bujue looked at the screen, muttered, and clicked on the link on the pop-up window.
Two seconds later, he was linked to the s2 forum area.
After absorbing various experiences and lessons from the s1 period of Peak Contest, Dream Company made some targeted changes.
Let's just talk about this "Peak Contest s2 Forum Zone"... They have prepared a separate server for this forum channel. Even if there are tens of millions of accounts flooding in at the same time, or even posting at the same time. And it definitely won't crash. Hacking attacks and software swiping screens are also within the scope of prevention.
The moment this special area opened, Dream Company also hung up a pinned post on each channel of the forum - [Before and after the peak battle s2, all topics related to the game will be transferred to the relevant discussion area.]
It is obviously very difficult for the administrator to be responsible for this operation alone... It takes time to read, review, and move posts. If there is a large amount of posts in a short period of time, the moderators cannot manage it at all. Fortunately... there are optical brains in this era. Most of the work of screening and classification can be done by optical brains, and the moderators only need to be responsible for cleaning up some fish that slip through the net.
"Well... that's it..." Feng Bujue glanced at the special area, and entered the post [Official Summary of Competition Rules].
Replies to this post are prohibited from anyone other than the admin. Its contents are numerous, adding up to more than ten floors.
And brother Jue, who is an obsessive, will naturally not let go of any line.
First up is the part about signing up...
[This competition adopts a group registration system. From 0:00 on August 8th, players can fill out the registration application on the main screen of any "meeting room".
Teams that meet any of the following criteria are eligible for registration—
1. The team contains one (or more) level 50 players, and all other members are above level 40 (including level 40).
Second, the average level of the team members reached forty-four.
Three, three members of the team have reached level 45. The remaining two members have reached level 40 and each have two specializations above level A (including level A).]
"Well... this standard is reasonable." Feng Bujue looked at the post and read, "The third article should be to take care of those players who practice medical treatment or equipment specialization, as well as players who rely on solving puzzles... these people The speed of leveling may be slower than that of mainstream combat players."
He then looked down...
[Registration must be carried out under the premise that five players remain in a team state.
Information such as the team name and the list of team members used in the game shall be filled in by the team leader.
After all members in the team have completed the confirmation operation. The registration form can only be submitted.]
"Five people..." Seeing this, Feng Bujue thought, "It's already more than the 3v3 upper limit of the 'killing game'... What should we do about the tactical drill..."
What follows will answer his question...
[After submitting the application, the system will complete the review of the registration form within five minutes.
Approved teams. It is considered as "registration successful", and all members of the team will immediately unlock the "Peak Contest s2 Practice Mode [For details, please refer to the fourth floor]".]
"Oh... Just open a practice mode." While speaking, Feng Bujue had already slid the scroll wheel of the mouse. Turned directly to the fourth floor of the post.
[Peak Contest s2 Practice Mode—
This mode only supports 4v4 battles between teams registered for Apex Contest s2.
There is no scare value settlement and rewards in this mode, but the basic principle of "forced disconnection when the shock value is too high" still applies.
Any world view or missions may appear in this mode, and the size and layout of the map will be randomly generated in combination with the abilities of both players.
In this mode, players can only observe the nickname, level and survival status of teammates in the team column, and all enemy information will be blocked.
The rewards of experience, game coins and skill points provided by this mode are similar to those of Killing Mode, but the acquisition rate of items and skills will be lower than that of general survival mode, which is similar to that of novice practice mode.
In this mode, the terms ae and ae of the player interaction rules in the team survival mode are still applicable. If you are not clear about these terms, please click the link below to view them.]
"What's the situation? 4v4?" Feng Bujue was stunned after reading it, "Isn't registration required to be a five-man team?" He quickly returned to the top of the post, and continued to read the previous content.
[This competition will take the form of a 4v4 battle. In each round of the competition, the registered team can adjust the lineup and choose four of the five to fight.]
"Huh?" When this rule came into Juege's sight, he had a keen insight into something, "This is interesting..." He said to himself, "Different staffing can make different tactical combinations... In this way For one thing... the analysis and planning before the game are very likely to become part of the outcome of the game."
He immediately showed a not-so-friendly smile... It seemed that the depression that countless people showed after being bullied by him appeared in front of his eyes.
[At 00:00 on August 10, the "Peak Contest s2 Practice Mode" will be officially opened. At that time, teams that have unlocked this mode can join the queue for matching.
Until midnight on August 30th, this mode will be turned off again. The official "prelims mode" will begin shortly thereafter.
During the period from 0:00 on August 8 to 0:00 on August 30, the captains of all registered teams have one chance to submit a "personnel change application".
Except for the team leader, all members have one chance to submit a "retirement application".
After midnight on August 30, all team rosters will be locked and cannot be changed.]
"So that's how it is..." Feng Bujue read after reading this passage, "First of all, before midnight on the tenth, players will be given two days to form teams. Then, in the remaining 20 days, these teams will be given Time to practice and adjust, and give each player a chance to re-select. In this way... at least most teams can form a lineup that satisfies them.”
[The "Preliminary Mode" (tentative name) will adopt a points system, and the specific opening time and rules will be announced at 00:00 on August 30.
The total period of the preliminaries is expected to be fifty days.
There are no invited players for this tournament.
The list of the finals will be based entirely on the points and will be made by the optical brain.
The competition process will be completely open, transparent and fair.]
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Fuck the fairness... Last time I was invited directly, this time I spoiled it in advance, are you embarrassed..." When he said this, he still intentionally or unintentionally lowered his voice Improve some.
"Haha~" The next second, Assas, who was sleeping on the sofa, yawned, and then said, "I know your intentions, don't waste your efforts meow."
"Ah? Are you talking to me?" Feng Bujue turned around and pretended to be stupid.
"You pretended to be casual, casually said something that might have an impact on Woody, and let me hear it on purpose." Assas pointedly exposed Brother Jue, "You want to use this to test... In a similar situation, will I go to him to make a report. If so, you can use this as an opportunity to use me... to deliver some information that you want him to hear. If not, you think of something else method, further testing..."
After Feng Bujue heard the words, he shrugged his shoulders: "Cut...have you been seen through..."
"Continue browsing your forum, meow..." Assas lazily continued, "Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you have reached level 50 (Brother Jue reached the full level on August 5th)... this The next s2 match will be much more difficult than s1, you'd better make more preparations in advance..." After that, she flicked her tail, turned her head and fell asleep again.
"Ah... I'll do my best..." Feng Bujue responded and turned his gaze back to the monitor.
The content listed next in that post is what everyone is looking forward to—the prize.
