September, a delicate season.
She is like a graceful girl who is about to change into a dress called autumn; the residual warmth of midsummer is the last veil around her waist, while the pressure of school and the haze of quarterly reports are like that. A pair of safety pants under the light gauze.
Well, let's get down to business...
This September in 2055 undoubtedly belongs to the horror paradise. After the start of the preliminaries of Peak Contest S2, Dream Company took advantage of the situation and launched a set of corresponding promotional plans, making this competition a buzz. In just a few days, all kinds of news related to it spread overwhelmingly in all the media, and even many mainstream media that dismissed the game industry have reported on this matter, and its social attention can be described as There is no two at a time.
In the game circle, this game has become the most eye-catching focus battle in recent years.
The timing of the five-month server launch, the form of team battles, and the ranking method based on the points system... It is not difficult to see that this preliminaries system has a faint meaning of "testing the quality of the studio".
If the final ranking of S1 is not convincing due to too many unpredictable factors in the finals, then this time S2... At least in the preliminaries, each team has no excuses to look for.
In fact, most game studios have reached a consensus by coincidence—the results of the preliminaries of Apex Contest S2 are likely to determine the real strength ranking of each studio in the eyes of the majority of players.
Therefore, for those well-known game studios, from the moment of zero o'clock on September 5th, a 50-day secret war has already begun. .
Every day, the points they announce on their official website are an important cornerstone to victory.
And for those professional players who are regarded as "stars", this is also a protracted trial.
The result of each round, the process of each team battle, and even every point of survival lost in each duel... may have an impact on the team's preliminaries ranking.
From the point of view of casual teams, 36 games are just 36 wins and losses. In theory, 108 points is the best result.
But from the perspective of a strong professional team... 108 points is just "qualified". "Total victory" is a must. As a team that wants to compete for the championship, they didn't even get a complete victory in the preliminaries of Dalang Taosha, so what confidence do you have to win all the way to the end in the knockout round where there are so many strong players
And on the basis of a complete victory, they have to try their best to ensure that every game is won in the most efficient way with the least cost... Only the team that achieves this to the extreme can be on the top of the preliminaries standings vertex.
To put it simply, the team pursuing the ranking in the preliminaries must take every game and every moment seriously in the entire thirty-six effective points games, and must not afford to lose. It is impossible for them to play with the attitude of "it's good to win in the end anyway" like casual players. They are destined to pay more than ordinary players, because... this is what can be called "professional".
"Playing games with a salary" has never been so easy on the face of it; in all fairness, this is more stressful than doing something else with a salary. Even though the times are progressing, the stereotypes in people's minds still exist... No one will say that football players are "playing football with a salary", and no one will say that swimmers are "playing water with a salary", but "professional players" This business is always judged by people wearing colored glasses.
In fact, there is no essential difference between professional players and professional athletes. Both require talent, hard work, and a little bit of luck, as well as experience, technology, stress resistance, and professionalism. The biggest difference between them is nothing more than that one side uses physical appliances or venues as competitive tools, while the other side uses virtual electronic programs as competitive carriers. It is obviously unfair to treat the practitioners of the latter carrier differently just because the entertainment tendency of the latter carrier is greater than the tendency to exercise the participants' body or mind.
This time, Dream Company pays attention to this point when it promotes Peak Contest S2 to the general public outside the game circle. One of their slogans is "I don't understand why someone can support themselves by playing games? Let's see what makes them so good."
Once such a slogan comes out, let alone the group of players who are involved in the game, even those who know nothing about the game industry or have never been in contact with the thriller park will have a feeling for this "peak hegemony" Interested.
And all of this... is all the preparation made by Dream Company for the "live broadcast" in the second half of the preliminaries.
By the end of September, when this kind of hunger marketing of "only hearing the news, not seeing the shadow" aroused people's curiosity, Dream Company took advantage of the situation and released a message-"Three days later, the second half of the preliminaries Live broadcast rights are open for bidding.”
This move not only allowed them to recover all the previous publicity costs, but also made a lot of money...
Of course, these are all things for later. At least before September 20, no one knew that the games in the late preliminaries would be broadcast live. Right now, the focus of most players is still on how to play their game well.
Almost no one noticed... at the beginning of the fifty-day preliminaries, the prelude to the twilight of the gods... has quietly opened.
...
The main universe, the boundary of chaotic scorched earth.
On the edge of the void, stands a huge door quietly - the door of nothingness.
Back then... the battle between gods and demons was earth-shattering. In the end, Governor God exhausted all his powers, using a life body with dual characteristics of god and demon as the sealing hub, and sealed Dou Mo into the door.
After countless years... that ancient demon guard successfully escaped from the seal by absorbing the fighting demon energy seeping out of the door, and he disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, the seal of Governor God is indestructible, even after losing the "wedge", it still persisted for quite a long time.
However... such days are coming to an end today.
Karakala…
After a dull crashing sound, the pitch-black door shattered into debris.
In an instant, an unbelievably dense ultimate devilish energy swept out from the door.
Then, heavy footsteps came from the door...
bang, bang, bang...
A gigantic shadow walked out of the door unhurriedly, every time it took a step, the whole earth would tremble.
But... just when it reached the door and was only one step away from stepping out, it stopped.
"Huh?" it said to itself, "Did I stay in 'nothing' for too long... or something happened to this universe..."
While speaking, it raised one hand (front paw) and stretched it out the door. As a result... In less than two seconds, its hand exploded from the inside.
The pitch-black demonic blood flowed down, exuding a mellow, strong and long-lasting smell like old wine.
This... is the sign of the most extreme "devil". From the perspective of data, every drop of blood on its body and every breath it exhales are all highly condensed energy. Compared with those ordinary things that exude a foul smell inside and outside, it is simply a world of difference.
"Is this really the 'universe' I used to be in... Why is the 'pressure' so small..." Dou Mo withdrew his hand, and many black fibrous substances repaired its stump at a speed visible to the naked eye, "It seems It will take me some time to get used to this new environment."
While it was talking, it secretly transported mana and began to modify its body.
Under the envelopment of demon energy, its figure began to shrink rapidly, and gradually...it became a human form.
Finally, after about three minutes, "it" became "he".
At this time, Dou Mo had turned into a naked human man. He is about 1.9 meters tall, with a well-proportioned build and a gloomy appearance. He has pale skin like frost and black hair that curls naturally. Looking at his exposed body, he can't see any difference from ordinary people.
"Huh..." After successfully transforming, Dou Mo took a deep breath, and then he stepped out of the door that had trapped him for hundreds of millions of years (the feeling of time in "nothing" will become infinitely long) The gate officially entered the main universe of the thriller paradise.
