At midnight on September 5th, the number of online players in "Horror Paradise" easily broke through seven figures, setting a record since the server opened.
Millions of players lay in their pods long before midnight, logging into the game in sleep mode (match cannot be played on non-sleep mode servers).
Although most of these people are not S2 contestants, and the images of the preliminaries are not broadcast live (at least until the end of the preliminaries cycle, all game videos are kept confidential), but they are still willing to join in the fun.
As for those players who are qualified to participate in S2, there are definitely a lot of players... because Dream Company announced the news of the competition in early August, and the deadline for registration is at the end of August; this half a month is enough for many players who have not yet qualified for the competition The requested player has gone to level up.
There is no doubt... During this period of time, the game company has made a lot of money.
In short, whether it's popularity or money... they are all rushing forward desperately, and they can't be stopped.
It can be said that Dream Company has taught many players in the same industry a lesson with practical actions-the quality of the game itself and the rigorous attitude of the operator determine everything.
Compared with those second- and third-tier online game companies that engage in vulgar hype all day long to attract people's attention, Dream Company's publicity costs are actually lower, because they don't have to take the initiative to "yell" anything, even if they want to hide it, the media will cover it themselves. Come to the door.

"Gather the heroes, who will rule the roost? The heroes will compete, and the winner will be the king."
Same as the S1 preliminaries, the official S2 preliminaries also have a unique script opening.
[Loading is complete, welcome to Peak Contest S2-The Gathering of Heroes.]
[This mode provides an introduction to the script, and there is a chance of branch/hidden missions and special world views.]
[Script victory reward: 3 preliminaries points.]
[The introduction to the script will be broadcast soon, and the game will start immediately after the broadcast is completed.]
After a series of loading information, "Order One Team" was transmitted to the script. And start to read the opening CG and plot introduction.
Obviously, since there is a so-called "first team", there will naturally be a "second team", and even three, four, five, six, seven teams...
For a top-notch large-scale game studio like Order. As long as you have the heart, it's not a problem to gather 20 or 30 teams.
Of course, they wouldn't do that. If there are really as many teams as there are people... Then in order of strength, the combat effectiveness of the "Team Ten of Order" may not be as good as the first team of the second-tier studios. Even if this kind of team goes to the competition, there is absolutely no possibility of advancing. In case of a bad loss, it will damage the image of the studio.
Therefore, "Order" only formed four teams this time...
Regarding their second, third, and fourth teams, they will not be listed here for the time being. Let's talk about the lineup of this team...that is, the five mentioned above.
The four masters of "Drunkenness, Dreams and Death", plus Tuntian Guixiao, all five of them have reached level 50, and they are all ranked in the top 20 in the list of personal comprehensive strength.
You can tell at a glance... This team is heading for the championship. Any one of these five people is the absolute main force in other teams, but in the "Order First Team", they have to choose one of them to sit on the bench every game, it is really scary to think about it...
Right now, in this crucial first match, the captain [Wu Shi Shen Xuan] chose to watch the battle by himself, and handed over the command of the team to the vice-captain [Sashimi].
In terms of strength, these two may not be the strongest in the team, but... the other three in their team: one is not good at strategy and likes to talk trash, one smokes and drinks hot all day and is extremely unreliable, and the other The script will turn into a frenzied state in the second class... In this case, they had no choice but to "work harder for those who are able" and take the responsibility of the captain and deputy captain.
But... let's say something, being the captain of the order team is actually quite simple. In many cases, they just need to lead the team to "go past without brain A" and win. Under the absolute advantage of strength, even if the opponent has all kinds of strategies, the outcome cannot be changed.
...
After talking about order, let's take a look at their opponents in the first match.
You must know that the number of teams that signed up for the S2 preliminaries is very large. In the preliminaries, the probability of the two top teams meeting is actually very low.
However... there is no coincidence without a book. In the first preliminaries of the first team of order, they really met a strong team.
This team is also a professional team affiliated with a large studio, and they also do not have the privacy protection option enabled. Therefore... The name of [Corpse Knife Team 1] was impressively displayed in the game menu of the five members of Order.
...
"Heh... I thought the preliminaries would be as easy as playing in the practice mode..." Sashimi showed a rather complicated smile after seeing the enemy's team name. the bones of…”
"Alas... I wanted to play soy sauce and lie down to win..." Zuiwo sighed and continued, "Now it seems... I have to be more serious."
"Hi'er~" Meng Jingchan had already taken out the wine bottle and took a sip for himself, "Don't be careless~" Although he said that he should not be careless, his expression and behavior were very leisurely.
"Hmph... what a tough nut to crack... what seriousness... what carelessness..." At this moment, Gui Xiao sneered, "In my opinion... there is no difference."
"Oh~ Our trump card has entered the battle (middle) fight (2) mode again." Zui Wo stroked his instant noodle hair in awe, and took advantage of the situation.
"This has nothing to do with my mental state, what I'm saying is the truth." Gui Xiao said in a deep voice. "Whether the opponent is a professional or an amateur, there is only one thing we have to do, and that is... to defeat him mercilessly and with all our strength." He paused, "Since the goal is the championship, then You must have the consciousness of 'absolutely invincible'."
"Hehe, I really can't compare to you young people." Meng Jingchan laughed when he heard the words, "I'm so on fire~" While speaking, he lit a cigarette for himself.
"It's just the smoke in your hand that's burning..." Sashimi squinted, and spit out coldly.
[The main task has been triggered.]
[Kill the four members of the "Corpse Knife Squad".]
Just as they were talking, the system prompt sounded. This heralds... the "safe time" of the opening is over.
...
At the same moment, another place in the script.
The Corpse Knife Team 1 has these four members. Adhering to the consistent style of the studio.
They are dressed in uniform uniforms (like Star Trek style, but the color is green and black, and the badge of the corpse knife is printed on the left chest. The pattern is a carved skull machete with the word corpse knife on it) , with the same hairstyle (inch head), and even the facial expressions are very similar (pale, numb).
As mentioned in the previous article, before the V1.10 version, the Corpse Knife has always been ranked fifth in the ranking of the community's combat power. And among the top 20 player rankings, they also occupy the most places. Although these two lists have since been canceled due to mergers, their strength cannot be ignored.
"Oh? Did you actually meet the strongest opponent in the first match?" the Corpse Knife team member named [Doomsday Strike] read after hearing the content of the mission.
"There's nothing to be surprised about, it's just a matter of probability." [Final Assault] continued. "There's always a team that meets them, isn't it?".
Viewers with a good memory must still remember...these two are the two members of the corpse knife who encountered Jue Ge and Kuang Zong Jianying in "Earth Wasteland Chapter". That time, the two of them were unfortunately tricked by Brother Jue, and they lost the killing game without even seeing the enemy's shadow.
Some people may wonder. Why are these two guys who don't look very good now in the "Corpse Knife Team 1"? In fact, this is not surprising... because the corpse knife uses the cheating method of "drug assistance", so in essence, their players after they reach level 50... are of the same level.
Unless these players stop taking medicine for a period of time like the former [Corpse Knife is King] and the current [Tian Meng Huan]. Otherwise, even if they have any personal talents, they will be covered by the effects of drugs and become a group of homogeneous and ruthless fighters.
And under the premise that this kind of player's personal factors are almost negligible, it becomes very easy to arrange a team. Just try to match up a team that can cooperate with each other and give full play to each other's best advantages according to the four factors of the character's specialization, title, equipment, and skills. It can be said... The composition of the "Corpse Knife First Team" is like solving a math problem, the "human uncertainty" is removed, and the rest is simple calculations.
In fact, the selection of their team was indeed done by the optical brain... The relevant person in charge of the studio just called up the data of all the fifty-level game characters under the Zombie Knife, and asked the optical brain to calculate a "efficiency best" combination.
"I think it's a good thing." A few seconds later, another team member with the ID of [Fei Mouth is King] continued the two people's words, "Since we are here to win the championship, it will be a matter of time before we meet them " His tone changed slightly, "Perhaps... this encounter is still a very good opportunity."
At this time, the captain of the Corpse Knife Team [First is the King] took over the former's words and said: "I think so too." He paused for half a second, "As a touchstone for the effect of the 'new drug' …The five members of the first team of order are really suitable.” (… ) R1071
