During the day of the 25th of March, all kinds of battle reports about the early morning match were released.
The most popular topics were three.
One, mountain river had won against their old nemesis, heaven and earth.
Both sides of the competition were top 10 Studios in the industry. Whether it was the winning side or the losing side, there was naturally a lot of news and related interviews after the competition.
Two,[red Sakura] was swept away by the dark horse.
The spokesperson of red Sakura Studio also admitted after the competition that after losing the lost of the past, they were a little lacking in the popular main genre of Thriller Paradise. They still had a long way to go to train a new Ace, and it would take time.
Third, who was the [door to heaven]?
This was the question that most players were concerned about. However, this mysterious team did not accept any form of interview or communication, and they did not speak through any channels. As a result, the media could only report on them with nonsense and eye-catching headlines, which made the team’s situation even more confusing.
…………
On the 26th, at midnight, the matchmaking list for the fourth round was announced on time.
In this round, there were a total of 3339 teams participating. The number of teams was still odd, so as usual, one team would not get a pass, and the remaining 3338 teams would fight each other.
In this round, apart from the seeded teams, the matches of the teams that had performed well in the first three rounds, such as [door to heaven], were also getting a lot of attention.
And this … Was exactly what the operations Department of dream Inc. Was looking forward to.
The “completely random” matching mechanism was to allow casual players to have more opportunities to advance and show off. At this stage, the plan was a success.
Compared to the previous two competitions, the ordinary players ‘sense of participation in stage three had clearly increased. It was easy to imagine how many people would feel when they saw teams like gods, red Sakura, and heaven and earth being eliminated one after another, and many of them were at a similar level to themselves.(At least, that’s what some viewers thought when they watched) when a grassroots team was still advancing, the “I can do it, I can do it” mood was bound to be high, and this kind of mood was the catalyst to stimulate people to be more invested in something.
…………
March 26th, evening, 11:55.
In another five minutes, the fourth round of the tournament for the best of the best would begin.
This round, there was only one focal battle. However, there were two things about “matching” that needed to be mentioned.
Let’s talk about the second matter first. Hell’s frontline got a bye this round.
This was indeed something worth mentioning, because in the first three rounds, there had never been a situation where a seeded team didn’t get a bye.
Of course, no one thought that this was shady … Since it was “completely random,” it was only a matter of time before a seeded team got a bye. Moreover, from the point of view of the majority of ordinary players, it was a good thing that a strong team was eliminated. After all … Whoever encountered them would be unlucky.
Then, let’s go back to the first matter, which was the “focal battle” between the two sides, the “Warring States” and the “waste Alliance.”
These two teams had made it to the S2 finals, and they were in the top four of the S2 Season along with underworld frontline and order. Therefore, the attention on this match was no less than that of order VS gods in the first round.
As S3’s competition system required the number of players to be expanded to seven, the lineup of both teams had also changed in this game.
Let’s talk about Sengoku first. Even though it was a foreign studio, it had been in Thriller Paradise for so long, so it naturally had a lot of local fans. Considering that most of the male fans were attracted to the four girls who played the leading roles, ODA AI, Takeda Satoshi, and Uesugi Hito were definitely going to join the team.
Other than them,[Sasa miming] naturally had to take a spot as well. Not only was he the team’s think tank, but he was also one of the top three in the team in terms of strength. There was no reason for him to sit on the bench.
As for the remaining two empty spots … The former Sengoku team two’s fengchenping, hidekazuki, Tokugawa Takeshi, and houjue Kazuki were all interested in fighting for them. This was understandable, as the four of them had been badly beaten by the trash Alliance in S2, so they all wanted to personally take revenge.
However, the last one to be selected was only [Akagawa Masayoshi]. The reason he was selected was not because he was stronger than the other members of team two, but because he majored in sleuthing, so he could make the structure of the team more reasonable after joining.
As for the seventh member of the Sengoku gaming contest, his ID was idacheng … He was a newbie that the studio had been training since the S2 period. His position was somewhat similar to ghost hunter ‘s. They were both 17-year-old geniuses, and they were also the future targets of the Warring States team.
These were the members of the [Warring States] team.
Next, let’s talk about the trash Alliance …
The five useless Tigers from S2 were all present. Ambitionist, King of Shadows, uncle loser, tired dream, teacher Chu … Not a single one was left behind.
Some people might wonder why the old woman, who was originally used to “make up the numbers,” had come again this time.
First, it was because old Yan was very popular (this reason could not be explained). Second, it was because teacher Chu could indeed be used as a ‘strategic weapon’.
As mentioned before, after S2, old Yan had become a God-tier character in the world of commenters (spring Halo, KING, Satan, clown Bucky, chaknoris, etc.). For some unknown reason, 99% of the players were willing to believe that he was strong, so strong that it was unfathomable.
The analysis teams of the major studios did not know much about teacher Chu’s strength, characteristics, and other information. However, they could only make reasonable guesses and a huge number of jokes, which made it difficult for them to make an accurate judgment.
Of course, there were people who understood the situation, like Feng bujue and ghost hunter. However, they chose to keep their lips sealed about teacher Chu’s strength. Brother Jue was one thing, but Phantom dawn, a professional player, was also talking nonsense with the company, saying that ‘even I can’t see through teacher Chu’s strength’. This made the people behind order panic.
All in all, there was no one to criticize for being able to get to the old woman’s level …
Apart from the five tigers, the two new members of the trash Alliance were also familiar faces.
The first one was Pegasus … That’s right, it was that brony who had won the S1 Championship.
As everyone knew, brony was originally a player of the stars Studio, and everyone knew of the name “arms factory” in the esports circle. Logically speaking … After winning the S1 Championship, brony should have been sold at a high price.
However … The awkward thing was that no one bought him.
The reason was simple. The buyer and the seller had a huge difference in price. Although brony had a championship title, most of the studio’s analysis team believed that from the actual performance, this one-track minded guy was not worth the price that stars had offered.
As for constellation, they were not in a hurry. Their studio only signed young, unknown, and promising players anyway. The contracts they used were short and low-paid, so since no one wanted to buy him, he would keep him.
As such, brony stayed in constellation for S2 until his contract was about to expire. Only then did the studio feel that something was wrong. If he didn’t sell him, he would become a free man.
But at this time, it would be difficult to sell him again … Everyone knew that the basic guarantee of the contract with constellation was extremely low. The only attractive part was the “transfer share” clause. It was a win-win situation for both the studio and the player, but the buyer had to pay the bill.
To put it simply, the players of constellation had a bright future if they stayed in the studio, but they had no’ money ‘. The purpose of their hard work was to be “sold”… Once they transferred, not only could they buy their studio and get a high salary, but they could also get a considerable amount of transfer fees and dividends.
However, the bold and unconstrained style was a special case … When his value was at its peak, the buyer and the seller could not reach an agreement on his value, and he was delayed just like that … When the contract was about to expire, who would still spend the transfer fee to buy him? If she really wanted to sign him, couldn’t she just wait for him to terminate the contract and sign him as a free man? After all, the low-paid short-term contract at stars didn’t have a competition prohibition agreement.
In summary, the players who were bold and unconstrained became rare in constellation in recent years. They waited until their contract expired and automatically terminated their contracts.
The day his contract expired was very close to the start of S3 … Most of the teams in the studio had already finished polishing their line-up and completed their registration; Even though there were many Studios that wanted to sign him, there was no one that could provide him with a place to compete.
At this time, the old and cunning ambitionist (he had already found out about the expiration date of brony’s contract through his connections in the industry) extended an olive branch to brony as a friend and successfully won a Saint fighter … Oh no … A powerful general for the waste Guild.
Finally, there was another new member of the trash Alliance team who wanted to introduce the worn-out seven kills.
That’s right, it was [blade]”s seven kills.
This person had come to the door of his own accord, and he had a very good reason … Because the studio did not intend to participate in the competition this time, and he personally hoped to be able to fight with experts in the competition, after getting the approval of the leader, he came out alone to find a team.
[Loser Alliance] was the first team that seven kills had found … As a team that was more humane than utilitarian, as if it was a shelter for the homeless, they had casually discussed it and allowed seven kills to join the team.
At this point, the seven members of the trash Alliance were confirmed.
…………
When the clock struck midnight, the fourth round of the competition began.
Today, the members of underworld frontline, who were not given a chance to play, were already waiting in the conference room at the start of the match. They had already locked onto the live broadcast of the match between Warring States and loser Alliance.
They were not the only ones. The big screen in the game store was also broadcasting the match, with two commentators.
The battle between these two powerhouses was already like an arrow on the bow.
