At the end of September, the preliminaries of Contest for Hegemony s2 were in full swing, and the live broadcast and recording of the competition had also officially started.
Although the "Gathering of Heroes" will last until October 25th, most teams decide the final points in the first 36 days. So... If you compare this preliminaries to a long-distance race, then it's time to enter the second half of the race.
At this time, looking back at the schedule of the previous half month, it can basically be described as calm. Except for the hand-to-hand encounter between the first team of Corpse Knife and the first team of Order, there were no encounters between strong teams. Overall, most of the professional teams made great strides all the way and won like nothing.
It wasn't until this stage that the casual players who were at the middle and lower levels of the game and with a large base seemed to come back to it... It turns out that the point system is more cruel than the elimination system or the s1 win screening system. Under this competition system, the teams that can enter the semi-finals must be strong teams with excellent strength, and the teams that have worked hard before the competition to barely meet the competition standards have no chance at all.
Ever since, since mid-September, some voices of dissatisfaction have gradually spread on the forum. Such as "Dream Company's competition system does not give casual players the chance to advance", "If you are not a professional team, you can't play the game?", and "against the masses is to shake the foundation of the game"... obviously with strong resentment Posts popped up one after another.
For similar voices, Dream Company's official response seems reasonable and straightforward.
The customer service department even released such a reply-"My dear, let me use basketball as an example. If...you find three or five friends who like basketball, you can get better than five in one basketball game. The results of a professional basketball player, that is the problem with the competition system."
Yes, Dream Company has this attitude, and they have always had this attitude...
...
By the early morning of October 10, more than 70% of the participating teams joined the queue during this time. Conducted their thirty-sixth preliminaries. And almost all the professional teams announced their final results of the preliminaries before the early morning of this day.
Team 1, Team 2, and Team 4 of Order; Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3 of the Gods; Blades, Heaven and Earth, Jianghu, and Stars... These well-known strong teams all showed a record of complete victories on this day.
It's just... Since each studio will update the records of their teams in real time on their official websites every day, when the final three points are settled, there seems to be no big surprises.
However, as the so-called confinement bends to illuminate Kyushu, some families are happy and others are sad.
There are teams that win all games, and naturally there are teams that don't win all games... Among them, the most depressing team should be the Corpse Knife team.
It stands to reason that their strength is by no means inferior to those winning teams. It's a pity... They met the first team of Order just once, which directly led to them entering the second echelon. Even though he scored 105 points, he still has a high chance of being able to enter the semi-finals. But that "one defeat" is an indelible shame after all.
...
Let's talk about our Hell Frontline team, its results are in line with Feng Bujue's expectations - a complete victory; and this record was achieved on the premise that Brother Jue has been sitting on the bench for a long time.
Of course, since the official promotion list and the points of the promoted teams have not yet been announced (it will be announced after all the preliminaries are over), so far, Hellfront is still a little-known team.
It is worth mentioning that since October 8th, Dream Company has canceled the privacy protection option in the game, that is to say. For each team... There will be at least three games in the preliminaries on video.
Faced with this situation, Brother Jue also made a very cunning response... Under his instruction, the last three rounds of the Hell Frontline were all fought with the Blood Corpse God as the main force. As for Xiaotan and the others, they tried to hide their strength as much as possible.
In this way, even in the rematch stage, the intelligence of the Hellfront players is still a mystery, even if the opponent studies their game video. The conclusion that can be drawn is nothing more than this - the team has a summoned creature that can be called against the sky, that's all.
...
October passed in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye. It is late autumn.
On October 25th, the "Gathering of Heroes" came to an end. The Kemeng Company did not immediately announce the results of the preliminaries, but used "statistical data" as an excuse to suppress the results of the preliminaries for a whole week.
During these seven days, Dream Company held a product conference and launched an "economical game cabin"; it also took advantage of the situation and announced that the "Crazy Thinking 1.0 official version" has been developed and will be officially launched after the end of S2 News; by the way, there is also a Halloween-themed offline event... In short, I don't mention s2.
These actions... puzzled all the players and even many outside media. It also made many teams who were looking forward to the results of the preliminaries scratch their heads and have trouble sleeping and eating.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, but Dream Company did the opposite. There was a whole week of "intermission" between the preliminaries and the rematch of S2. No doubt about it... Another Woody idea.
Sometimes... in order to maintain the heat of a matter, it is also necessary to cool down appropriately, which is called relaxation.
Sure enough, on November 1st, when Dream Company's official website was updated, it immediately set off a wave of s2 frenzy in all walks of life.
On the same day, the rules of the second stage of the peak hegemony s2 - [Fierce Battle in the Four Realms] were announced.
But before that, the focus of people's attention is obviously still the promotion list and points ranking of the preliminaries.
According to the data given by the system, among the 256 teams that successfully passed the preliminaries, the team with the lowest score actually had 104 points. In other words... In the thirty-six games, only when they achieved thirty-four wins and two draws could they qualify for the semi-finals. Teams that have lost one game can only advance if they win all the remaining games; while teams that have lost two games, or have one loss and one tie, they will just say goodbye.
What was more surprising was that among the more than 200 teams that advanced, there were about 70 teams of non-professional players... and among them, 8 teams entered the top 100. This data also silenced those who were dissatisfied with the competition system before. They are also non-professional players, they can win all games, or only lose one game, and only draw one game, and you are holding a winning rate of about 50%, clamoring that the competition system is unfair, are you embarrassed
Of course, among the top 100 teams. The number of professional teams still has an absolute advantage.
These one hundred teams all finished the game with a record of 108 points, and the way the system sorts them is as mentioned above... Calculate the various numerical losses, time spent, and skills in each game value get and so on.
In the end, the team that ranked first... was the Gods.
This time they were really elated, overwhelmed their old rival Order, and took the top spot on a highly credible list.
And the five monsters in the first team of Order seem to be ranked second... This result undoubtedly made the senior management of Order Studio very dissatisfied. Combination, in such a crucial ranking, was actually overtaken by the arch-rival. Someone has to take the blame for this, right
So, as the team leader [Wu Si Shen Xuan] took the initiative to stand up, and made a deep self-criticism with the leaders of the unit.
"It's because I'm not good at handling affairs and I'm incapable of leading. In such a big competition, I only won the second place in the preliminaries. As the captain, I should bear the main responsibility." Such things make people dumbfounded, which is the main content of his review.
Leaving aside the competition between the two old strong teams, this time the list starts from the third place. It can be described as quite interesting.
First of all, the third team is called [Waste Wood Alliance]. This kind of self-deprecating team name obviously does not belong to any professional studio. And their game video is only three games. This shows that they used the anonymous function throughout the preliminaries, and did not rejoin the queue after playing thirty-six games.
Such a mysterious dark horse will naturally attract a considerable degree of attention. But... After seeing the roster of the team, the mystery disappeared. Because of the five members of this team. Four of them are masters who reached the top 50 in the individual competition in S1.
They are: Uncle Waste Chai, Honghu, King Zhaoying and Mengmenghuan. The first three are all well-known individual professional players, needless to say. And the identity of the tired dream. It has also been clearly revealed by the gossip - the former corpse knife ace, and now he has also joined the ranks of individual professional players.
Let's look at the next few in the standings...Jianghu, Daofeng, Red Sakura Team 1, Hellfront, and then...Ice Emperor. And then... Corpse Knife Second Team, Order Second Team, Gods Second Team, Heaven and Earth...
That's right, the Ice Empress, the Ice Empress led by Master Atobe, won all the preliminaries of Contest for Hegemony s2... and judging from the overall data of the 36 games, he was ranked second in Corpse Knife and Order. The front line of the team is second only to the front line of hell... Even Feng Bujue was a little shocked when he saw the list...
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Ice Emperor is a team from a game studio, not to mention the "difficult to name trio" has long been famous, and this team cannot be called a dark horse.
After looking at the list of members, the real dark horse in people's eyes... only "Hellfront" is left.
Except for "Crazy Bujue" and "Wang Tanzhi", the other three members of the team are all unknown players with no information, including the two of them, who are not professional players.
They are a team of all casual players who do not belong to any game studio, and... they also ranked in the top ten of the preliminaries.
With hindsight... Hellfront seems to have become the main team in the minds of most casual players, and it has also become the focus of research by major studios...
...
November 2nd, zero o'clock.
Somewhere in the suburbs of s city.
"Huh... It's already late autumn in the blink of an eye..." A middle-aged man wearing a beanie hat and black-rimmed glasses leisurely walked to a lamppost and breathed into the sky.
"I said...Deputy Section Chief Qi." Not far away, a young man happened to come over, "You called me to this wilderness in the middle of the night... Could it be that you want to kill someone to silence you?"
"Hehe..." Qi Zhi raised the brim of his hat, smiled and looked at Brother Jue, "I want to kill you, so do I need to pick a place?"
"That's true." Feng Bujue also smiled, "According to my inference... You found me a 'job in nine subjects'?"
"No." Qi Zhi immediately denied Brother Jue's deduction, "There is indeed a 'nine subjects' job here..." He raised his hands and made a gesture of quotation marks, "But it's not for you... I want it made."
"A deputy section chief of yours came out to run this field work in person?" Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately began to scan the surroundings vigilantly, "Could it be that the Baltans have already invaded the earth?"
"That's all right~ It's just a general incident, don't make a fuss." Qi Zhi cast a disgusted look at Brother Jue, "Isn't it Halloween two days ago? There are a lot of bad things outside, so the manpower in the bureau is a bit tight these days , I can only come out and run more."
"Oh~" Feng Bujue said, "Then you came to me...to help you?"
"No, I have something else to look for you." Qi Zhi replied, "It's just that I have work here and I can't leave, so I can only let you come for a while."
"Then what's the matter?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"I gave you the ten years of skill, it's almost time to get it back." Qi Zhi continued.
"Huh?" Feng Bujue said in surprise, "So you want to pay it back?" Before he finished speaking, he instinctively took two steps back, "Wait... Could it be possible to pay interest?"
"You kid, do you think I'm a usurer?" Qi Zhi continued, "The reason for withdrawing your skill is because you don't need it anymore."
"How can you see that?" Feng Bujue asked suspiciously.
"When I came to see you last month, I found that the power in your body has been diluted almost." Qi Zhi replied, "But... that power didn't merge with my spiritual power, but After using my spiritual power, I removed it from its source to ensure its own purity."
"Hey~ My strength is pretty decent..." Feng Bujue probably understood the other party's meaning, so he took advantage of the situation to spit out.
"It has nothing to do with me whether you have integrity or not." Qi Zhi continued, "In short, right now I have to bring out the spiritual power in your body, otherwise it will become your burden again." When he said this, he used quite strange He looked up and down at Brother Jue with his eyes, "Presumably...after the spiritual power in your body is removed, the power you awakened...will also show its true colors."
"Oh... that's why you called me to this kind of place..." Feng Bujue seemed to have noticed something from the other party's words and expressions, and smiled evilly, "Hehe... What if the true face of my power What is the power of the demon king that destroys the world, you just killed me in this uninhabited land, right?"
"Yes." At this moment, there was no smile on Qi Zhi's face, his expression was cold, and his answer... was also concise and powerful. (… )R1292
