Chapter 1456: Chapter 1344-second round

Translator: 549690339 

March 21st was a busy day for people in the gaming industry.

In the first round of the tournament, there were a total of 13352 matches. Even if you ignored the non-professional teams and the battles that were relatively one-sided, there was still an endless amount of battle reports that were worth following.

Of course, the most eye-catching piece of news was the battle between gods and order.

There were many things worth reporting and paying attention to in this game. One of the most popular topics was who could stop the sky-swallowing Phantom dawn?

Even though the public had many different answers to this question, it was clear that … The answer ‘Feng bujue’ appeared the most frequently.

At some point in time, brother Jue had become a ‘special solution’ that people would immediately think of when they faced ‘impossible problems’.

How to fold a piece of paper more than seven times? Let Feng bujue try.

How to divide prime numbers with natural numbers other than 1? Let Feng bujue try.

How could he defeat sky-swallowing Phantom dawn? Looks like I’ll have to let Feng bujue try.

One could say that brother Jue’s actions in Thriller Paradise over the past year had borne fruit. Regardless of whether such “popularity” was good or bad, it at least meant that he had the appearance of a King in the “game of candidates.”

…………

March 22nd, midnight.

The matchups for S3’s second round were announced on the official website.

Just like the first round, the matches of the seeded teams attracted a lot of attention.

However, this round did not have the intense battle of order VS gods. Any strong team whose name could be reported, as well as those teams with A-list star players, were all staggered in the second round.

Even so, the game was still highly interesting and highly anticipated. This was because … In the first round of the competition, there were many teams formed by “civilian experts” who had displayed astonishing strength. They had already reached a level that was enough to threaten the strong professional teams.

As a result, in the 24 hours after the list was announced, whether it was the data analysis team of the professional studios or the think tanks of the non-professional teams, they were all intensely studying the first round of the opponent’s match. The real “intelligence battle” could only be considered to have officially begun from this round.

…………

March 23rd, midnight, S3’s second round began.

There were a total of 13353 teams participating in this round. Among them, 13352 teams would be facing off, and the remaining team would not have to fight. Other than the teams that didn’t get to participate in the next round, the other teams would still be eliminated … 6676 teams would be eliminated after the end of the competition.

Hell’s frontline’s opponent this time was called dispute Alliance, a team made up of seven “former professional players.”

In a sense, the two teams could be considered to be fated, because these “former professional players” were all former players of zombie blade.

Speaking of zombie blade, the company had indeed encountered a lot of problems recently …

A few months ago, zombie blade’s boss had suddenly “disappeared” from the face of the earth One night. A few days after that, their studio had been approached by various related departments. After a short week of “investigation,” zombie blade ended up being raided and closed down.

Even though this was just a game studio, the interest chain behind it was really eye-opening. During that time, the news about zombie blade was spreading almost every day that they were in cahoots with illegal pharmaceutical groups and smuggling groups. Some people even said that they were related to some urban legend gambling organization … The news was mixed with truth and falsehood. Not to mention outsiders, even their internal members were confused.

To make a long story short, the investigation and disposal of zombie blade by the various departments were extremely efficient, and they were basically done in two weeks. The news on the internet didn’t last long. After all,”the netizens only have less than a week’s worth of memories”, people’s attention quickly turned to other fresh hot events.

After that, many people in zombie blade’s management had completely disappeared from the public’s sight, and it was likely that they would never have the chance to return to the game industry.

As for the players who came out of zombie blade, they did not have a good life either … Their abilities were average to begin with, and they could at most be blue-collar workers in a first-tier studio. Once zombie blade fell, the experience they had there became a dark history. Other Studios would not spend extra PR fees just to recruit a few blue-collar players, so they might as well hire new players.

As a result, most of these former zombie blade players directly announced their retirement and became “former professional players,” then threw themselves into the live streaming industry.

Right now, the dispute Alliance team that hell frontline was going up against was made up of seven streamers who had previously been in zombie blade.

Even though they were “former professional players,” and the characters they used were all re-trained after zombie blade was seized, as the saying goes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The gaming level and competition experience of these seven people … Were undoubtedly at the professional level.

In addition, because they had crushed their opponents with a score of three to zero in the first round, they had not revealed too much information from the intelligence level. It could be said that they were a rather troublesome team.

Once again, I’ll make a long story short …

For the first three matches of this round, brother Jue had arranged for the two teams to play.

“Battle of the vanguards”-[mourning]

“Mid-to-tough battle”-[passing rain],[flowers on stone]

[Participating general battle]: Feng bujue

…Such a lineup.

In less than 15 minutes, underworld frontline swept their opponents with a 3 – 0 advantage and advanced to the third round.

By the way … Within these 15 minutes, 10 minutes were break time.

…………

Just like that, the second round of the competition ended in a warm, but not intense atmosphere.

All of the seeded teams advanced without any surprises or mishaps. There were no unexpected situations, and there were no explosive points like the first round where two strong teams competed.

However, among the non-seeded teams, there were a few casual players ‘teams … Or rather, some ordinary players who had outstanding performances … Had already attracted the attention of all the parties.

After two rounds of battles, the identities of the hidden “experts” had been revealed. Which one of them was a fresh, fake product, and which one was a true expert with stable strength?

On the early morning of the 24th, the matchups for the third round of the competition were announced.

Finally, what could be called a “focal battle” appeared again.

This time, there were two worthy matches.

The first match was heaven and earth versus mountain river … This was a battle between two veteran first-rate Studios. It could be said to be a battle of grudges.

The second match was [red Sakura] versus [door to heaven]… After losing their Ace [silk sorrow], red Sakura still managed to sweep the entire team and advanced into the third round. The latter was a team made up of casual players. [Door to heaven] had also advanced by sweeping all the way, and the four players in the team that had appeared so far had all displayed professional level … Or even dominant level combat power. This also made them a Dark Horse with great potential in the eyes of many people.
