294 Event (Part 1)

"The registration period for the qualifiers has been opened. The club has selected other players and urged us to go back and hone our tactics. Lao Hao, this is the list of three other players and two substitutes."

Chat There are three people in the channel, Haotian, Mingyue Changxue, and Flash Fried Rice. They are all professional players affiliated with the Changkong Club.

The four major Chinese e-sports clubs are Temple, Changkong, Dynasty, and Yuxiang Eggplant. When players see these names, they will think of the glorious achievements in the history of these giants and the glorious history of standing on the award podium. .

Wealthy families have their own pillars, such as Li Ge in the temple, and the "Troika" in Yuxiang Eggplant. Haotian and Mingyue Changzhi are both Changkong veterans, known as the "Changkong Twin Stars." In recent years, a group of young potential players have emerged in the youth training camp, among which Flash Fried Rice is the most promising talent to take over.

Haotian, Mingyue, and Flash are the core members of Team Changkong. This competition system requires a total of eight regular team members plus substitutes. Haotian is undoubtedly the leader, and Mingyue and Flash are definitely team members. , the other five are selected within the team, the winner and the three core players form the first seed team, and the remaining second-tier players form the second team. This is the practice of big clubs.

Haotian looked at the list and said: "These players are all veterans and old faces. With a little time to get used to each other, they will be able to get back into competitive shape. There is no problem with the selection and there is no need to change."

He is a super player who has played for the club for many years, and sometimes has a higher say in the game than the coach and manager.

Mingyue Changdian finished and said: "The first tournament is very important. I hope to get a good start. I have also seen the competition format. There are five stages. The schedule will be very long. We have enough time to prepare and Continue to upgrade, and now the first group of leading players are approaching level 50. By the time of the regional finals, the remaining teams will almost be at full level."

"The qualifiers are the first stage and all players will be accepted. The competition is fierce when registering. There are at least thousands of teams in a division competing for 38 qualifications. Think about how terrifying this competition is. Because of the large number of people in the qualifying round, a one-match elimination system is adopted, and the winner is decided at one time. If we are unlucky and lose to a strong opponent, we will not be able to enter the regular season. We must treat it with caution from the beginning.”

“All opponents can be roughly divided into four types. , powerful passerby teams, strong club teams, and wealthy teams. Our biggest opponents are the other three giants. I predict that club teams will account for more than three-quarters of the top 40 seats in the regular season. ”

"Old Hao, do you sign up for the individual competition?" Mingyue Changzhi asked.

"Yeah."

"Then I won't go." Mingyue Changzhi shrugged. He was very aware of Haotian's combat effectiveness and had a high chance of ranking in the individual competition. To increase the team's points in the regular season, each club basically sends its strongest team to participate in the individual competition.

As another member of the double star in the sky, bothIf Haotian goes to the individual competition, then he will focus on the team and perform their duties.

......

At the same time, Kuangdao Furious Sword also submitted an application for the individual competition. Unlike a wealthy club like Changkong, his Jiangcheng club is a small team worthy of its name. All the players are just enough to make up the team, there is no other rotation, and all the members are third-tier players, only Kuangdao is slightly famous.

But he is not the team leader. The team leader is another player "Xing Duhe", who is a signature player trained by Jiang Cheng himself, but has no results.

Jiang Cheng was a weak team, lifeless. He took a fancy to Crazy Sword and signed him as a strong support. After he joined, the team barely regained some vitality.

Xing Duhe did not like the mad sword, and felt that the mad sword threatened his position. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The management regulations of some small clubs are not as complete as those of giant clubs. It is not uncommon to see seniority rankings. Before there is a solid record, professional players are a group of arrogant people. I am the boss and I are here. They were all bad guys. Kuangdao was lucky enough to win the bid and was ostracized by the team.

His application for the individual competition was blocked several times by Xing Duhe. If you have too much information, others will make tactics against our team.”

The application was approved after the senior management spoke.

Crazy Blade is not optimistic about this bunch of soldiers and generals at all. It is simply a fool's dream to rely on such a team to achieve results. He places his hope in the individual competition. As long as he becomes famous in the individual competition, his status will be stable. In fact, I don’t want to quarrel with others.

"My winning rate is about 40% or 60% with Master Haotian. He is a top master. I can achieve a 40% winning rate. I should have a good chance of reaching the top 64 in the individual competition."

Crazy Blade is very confident in his own strength. He has gained a lot of experience from Han Xiao’s missions. His level is among the best among all players. His skill level is also very high. All his equipment is limited edition from the Black Phantom Store. version. The mechanical warrior is very fond of equipment. He is basically equipped with blue equipment, and even the weapons are purple equipment. The type of machinery is beyond the awareness of ordinary players, and it is very luxurious.

The so-called limited edition is actually a machine tailor-made for him by Han Xiao. He trained four people in all aspects. Strictly speaking, Crazy Blade, Maple Moon, Haotian, and Roubao are considered His disciples.

Crazy Blade knows very well that most of his ability to have such strong strength comes from the "hidden plot" of Black Phantom. Every time he thinks about it, he is extremely lucky to have met Han Xiao during the closed beta.

“We must get a good ranking!” Kuang Dao secretly encouraged himself.

......

Registration for the qualifiers is in full swing, various clubs are moving frequently, and a lot of news is spread on the forum every day. It is very lively and players are actively discussing. It is a carnival. At this grand event, players are looking forward to their idols competing in the professional arena and looking forward to seeing high-level peak duels.

Now players can crossTraveling overseas, countless players gathered in the Third Refuge. The Third Refuge was the venue for the individual competition. In addition to the players who signed up for the competition, there were also many players who came to watch the game live. The number of players in the city continued to rise, handling a huge amount of people every day.

The largest number of players participate in the individual competition. After all, most players know that forming a team cannot beat professional clubs, and it is not easy to assemble a team. In comparison, the individual competition is simple, and one person can sign up. , the forum’s official announcement posted statistics that more than 100,000 players in each division signed up for the individual competition, which shows how intense the qualifiers will be.

Participating players are basically old players who entered the game in the first few batches. The new players who joined later are currently only over 20 levels, and entry is free. Some people complained about the competition system and felt that it started too early. , but their voices were soon drowned in the sea of ​​people.

The public beta has passed eight months in the game. According to the schedule, the divisional competition will last about half a year, and then there will be a preparation period and rest period of nearly a year before entering the international competition. Such a long offseason is mainly It is to give each qualifying team more time to adjust, to reflect the importance of international competitions, and to adopt hunger marketing and operations to increase the influence of the competition, and not to start the international competition hastily.

The schedule is almost two years in the game, and the entire 1.0 version is three and a half years. New players who cannot catch up with the qualifiers can only say that they are unlucky - who told you not to play earlier, time is not enough Wait for someone.

Feng Yue did not sign up for the qualifiers. She is a casual player and a soft girl. She rarely pays attention to the competition. She has a completely blank view of the competition system. An Xin becomes a salted spectator. Han Xiao Naturally, it is impossible to force her to participate. Moreover, a mechanic like Maple Moon who focuses on manufacturing skills has really average combat effectiveness in version 1.0. Others do not have the strength of Great Technician Han.

Roubao Dagou contacted other anchor friends, formed a anchor team, and happily participated in the competition. From Han Xiao's perspective, this anchor team was guaranteed to kill someone if they could reach the regular level. He swallowed ten energy crystals on the spot.

"Then there are only three people participating in the competition under my banner, Haotian, Crazy Blade and Roubao. Well... the last one can be ignored."

Han Xiao stood in front of the window , overlooking the crowded square, secretly said: "I hope the two of them can get good results."

The registration stage is the gestation period of the event, and it is also the best stage for him to make huge profits, one hundred thousand Individual competition players are willing to spend money and experience just for a little bit of progress.

A smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“After going to StarCraft, I won’t be able to interact with a large number of players in the short term. All the experience I earn now will be my wealth brought to StarCraft. The more, the better.”
