In late September, the preliminaries of S2 for the tournament were in full swing, and the live broadcast and recording of the game had officially begun.

Although the gathering of heroes would last until October 25th, most teams would decide their final points in the first 36 days. So If this preliminaries were a long distance race, then it was time to enter the second half.

Looking back at the schedule of the previous half a month, it could basically be described as uneventful. Other than the close-range battle between corpse knife First Division and order First Division, there were no other encounters between strong teams. All in all, the majority of the pro teams advanced triumphantly, winning like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter.

At this stage, the low-level casual players in the game finally realized that the point system was crueler than the elimination System or the S1 victory selection system. Under this compet.i.tion system, the teams that could enter the semi-finals were definitely strong teams. Those teams that had desperately leveled up before the compet.i.tion and barely reached the standard of partic.i.p.ation had no chance at all.

Therefore, from mid-September, some dissatisfaction gradually emerged on the forum. For example,dream Inc.S compet.i.tion system doesnt even give casual players the chance to advance,cant a non-professional team play in a compet.i.tion?, There were also posts like going against the public is shaking the foundation of the game These posts were obviously filled with strong resentment.

In response to similar voices, dream Inc.S official response was very confident.

Dear-let me use basketball as an example. If You can find three to five basketball fans and beat five professional basketball players in a basketball match, then thats a problem with the compet.i.tion system.

Yes, this was dream Inc.S att.i.tude, and they had always been like this

By the early morning of October 10th, more than 70% of the partic.i.p.ating teams had joined the queue and started their 36th preliminary round. And almost all the professional teams had announced their final results of the preliminaries before this morning.

Order team one, two, four, G.o.ds team one, two, three; Blades, heaven and earth, pugilistic world, stars All of these well-known strong teams had won all of their matches.

It was just that Because each studio would update the results of their respective teams on their official website every day, when the dust settled on the final three points, there didnt seem to be much surprise.

However, as the saying goes, when the moon s.h.i.+nes on the nine regions, some are happy while some are sad.

If there were teams that won, there would naturally be teams that didnt win Among them, the most depressed was probably corpse blade First Division.

Logically speaking, their strength was definitely not inferior to those teams that won all the matches. Unfortunately They just had to encounter team one of order, which directly led to them entering the second-echelon team. Even though there was a high chance of entering the semi-finals with 105 points, that one loss was a humiliation that could not be erased.

Then, lets talk about team h.e.l.ls frontline. Their results were just as Feng bujue had expected. And this was achieved after brother Jue had been on the bench for a long time.

Of course, as the official ranking and points of each team had not been announced yet (it would only be announced a week after the preliminaries), so far, h.e.l.ls frontline was still an unknown team.

It was worth mentioning that from the 8th of October, dream Inc. Had removed the privacy Protection option during the compet.i.tion. In other words, every team Would have at least three matches recorded in the preliminaries.

Faced with this situation, brother Jue came up with a very cunning solution. Under his instruction, the last three preliminary rounds of h.e.l.ls frontline would all be fought with the b.l.o.o.d.y zombie G.o.d as the main force, and Xiao Tans group would try to hide their true power.

As a result, even in the semi-finals, the information on the members of h.e.l.ls frontline was still a mystery. Even if the opponent studied their game videos, the only conclusion they could come up with was that the team had a heaven-defying summoned creature, and that was all.

Ten months pa.s.sed by in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn.

On the 25th of October, the gathering of heroes ended. However, dream Inc. Did not immediately announce the results of the preliminaries. Instead, they used statistical data as an excuse and delayed the results for an entire week.

In these seven days, dream Inc. Held a product launch and launched a economic game cabin. He also took the opportunity to announce the completion of mad thinking 1.0 and that it would be released after S2. There was also a Halloween-themed offline event Basically, they didnt mention anything about S2.

These actions Confused all the players and even the media. It made many teams who were looking forward to the results of the preliminaries so anxious that they were scratching their ears and cheeks, unable to sleep and eat in peace.

As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot. However, dream Inc. Had done the exact opposite and had given an entire weeks intermission between the S2 preliminary and semi-final. This was without a doubt Another one of Woodys ideas.

Sometimes In order to maintain the heat of an incident, it was necessary to cool it down appropriately. This was called relaxation.

As expected, on November 1st, when dream Inc.S official website made an update announcement, another wave of S2 was created.

On that day, the rules for the second stage of the tournament for the best of the best, the fierce battle of the four worlds, were released.

But before that, the focus of the people was obviously still the list of preliminaries and the points ranking.

According to the data given by the system, among the 256 teams that had successfully pa.s.sed the preliminaries, the team with the lowest score actually had 104 points. In other words In the thirty-six battles, only by achieving thirty-four wins and two draws would one be able to squeeze into the semi-final. The team that had lost one round could only advance if they won all the remaining rounds. As for the teams that had lost two matches, or had a loss and a draw, they would just say goodbye.

What was more surprising was that among the 200 or so teams that had advanced, there were about 70 or so teams that were not professional players And among them, there were eight teams that had entered the top 100. This number also made those who were dissatisfied with the compet.i.tion system shut up. Were all non-professional players, but they can win all of the matches, or only lose one match or draw one match, while you guys have a 50% win rate and claim that the compet.i.tion system is unfair. Do you have any shame?

Of course, among the top 100 teams, the number of pro teams still held an absolute advantage.

These 100 teams had all won with 108 points, and the systems ranking of them was as mentioned in the previous article It calculated the loss of various numerical values, the time used, the skill points obtained, and so on.

In the end, the first team was Team G.o.ds.

This time, they were really proud and elated. They suppressed their old rivals order and took the top spot on an extremely credible list.

As for the five monsters from team regulation, they were now ranked second. This result undoubtedly made the higher-ups of regulation extremely dissatisfied. The dream-like combination of Thriller Paradises number one player and Zui Sheng Meng Si was actually surpa.s.sed by their arch-rivals in such a crucial ranking. Someone had to take the blame for this, right?

As a result, the team leader, understanding death, took the initiative to stand up and make a deep self-reflection with the leaders of the unit.

Its my fault. I didnt do my job well and I didnt lead them well. Such a big compet.i.tion, but I only got second place in the preliminaries. As the team leader, I should bear the main responsibility. Such dialogue, which made people not know whether to laugh or cry, was the main content of his self-reflection.

Putting aside the compet.i.tion between the two old strong teams, the list this time could be said to be quite interesting starting from third place.

First, the team in third place was called trash Alliance. Such a self-deprecating team name clearly didnt belong to any professional studio. They had only recorded three matches, which meant that they had used the anonymous function throughout the preliminaries and did not join the queue after 36 matches.

Such a mysterious Dark Horse would naturally attract a considerable amount of attention. However After looking at the teams name list, this sense of mystery disappeared. This was because out of the five members of this team, four of them had made it into the top 50 of the individual compet.i.tion in S1.

They were uncle loser, ambitionist, King of Shadows and tired dream. The top three were all well-known professional players. As for tired dream Huans ident.i.ty, it had long since been known to everyone. He was the former zombie blade Ace, and now he had also joined the ranks of professional players.

Then, he looked at the next few rankings Pugilistic world, blades, red Sakura first team, h.e.l.ls frontline, and finally Frost monarch. And then Corpse knife second division, order second division, G.o.ds second division, heaven and earth second division

That was right, frost monarch, the frost monarch led by Atobe-sama, who had won all of S2s preliminary matches. And from the overall data of the thirty-six matches, he was even ahead of zombie blade and team regulation, second only to h.e.l.ls frontline. Even Feng bujue was a little shocked when he saw the list.

However, from an outsiders point of view, frost monarch was still a team from a gaming studio. Moreover, the name difficulty trio was already very famous. This team could not be called a Dark Horse.

After looking at the list of members, the only dark Horse in peoples eyes Was h.e.l.ls frontline.

Other than Feng bujue and w.a.n.g Tanzhi, the other three members of the party were all unknown players, including Feng w.a.n.g and Feng bujue, who were not professional players.

They were a team that did not belong to any gaming studio, a team made up of all casual players, and They were even in the top ten of the preliminaries.

When they realized it later h.e.l.ls frontline seemed to have become the main team in the hearts of most casual players. It had also become the focus of research for major studios

2nd of November, midnight.

Somewhere in the suburbs of S city.

Phew Its already late autumn in the blink of an eye A middle-aged man wearing an old hat and black-rimmed gla.s.ses leisurely walked to a street lamp and exhaled.

I say Vice Section Chief Qi. Not far away, a young man just happened to walk over.Calling me to the wilderness in the middle of the night You cant be thinking of killing me to silence me, right?

Haha Qi Zhi lifted his hat and smiled at brother Jue.If I wanted to kill you, would I need to pick a place?

Thats true, Feng bujue chuckled.Based on my a.n.a.lysis Youve found me a nine-subject job?

No, she said. Qi Zhi immediately denied brother Jues deduction.There is indeed a nine-subject task here He raised his hands and made a quotation mark.But it is not prepared for you It is what I want to do.

You, a Deputy Section Chief, are personally doing field work? Feng bujues expression changed, and he immediately scanned his surroundings.Could it be that the people from the Baltans have already invaded Earth?

Alright, alright~its just a normal incident. Dont make a fuss over it. Qi Zhi gave brother Jue a look of disdain.Wasnt it Halloween two days ago? Theres a lot of trouble outside, so the manpower in the Bureau is a little tight these days. I can only come out more often.

Oh, Feng bujue said.Then, youre looking for me To help you?

No, Im looking for you for something else. Qi Zhi replied,its just that I have work to do here and cant leave. Thats why I can only ask you to come.

Then whats the matter? Feng bujue asked again.

Its about time to take back the ten years of cultivation I gave you. Qi Zhi continued.

Ha? Feng bujue was shocked.So you have to return it? Before he could finish his sentence, he instinctively took two steps back.Wait Dont tell me you want interest?

You think Im a loan shark? Qi Zhi shrugged his shoulders and explained,I retracted my power because you dont need it anymore.

How do you know? Feng bujue asked.

When I came to see you last month, I found that the power in your body had been diluted. Qi Zhi replied,but That power didnt merge with my spiritual power. Instead, after using my spiritual power, it removed it from its source to ensure its own purity.

Hmm My strength is quite decent Feng bujue probably understood what the man meant, so he took the opportunity to mock him.

I dont care if you have integrity or not. Qi Zhi continued,anyway, I have to extract the spiritual power in your body again. Otherwise, it will become a burden to you. When he said this, he sized up brother Jue with a strange look.I believe After the spiritual power in your body is removed, the power that you have awakened Will reveal its true form.

Oh Thats why you called me to this place Feng bujue seemed to have noticed something from the mans words and expression. He laughed evilly.Haha If the true form of my power is some kind of demonic power that can destroy the world, youre going to kill me right here, right?

Yes. At this moment, the smile on Qi Zhis face disappeared. His expression was cold, and his answer Was also concise and to the point, sonorous and powerful. (To be continued.)
