Chapter 766 Explosive News(Chapter Preview)
On this seemingly ordinary morning, an explosive piece of news appeared on dream Inc.\'S official website.
[S2 forum special zone for "peak of power" is online today.]
[The war has begun again, and the gods have arrived.]
[Unity of strength, invincibility.]
Whenever the players opened any web page under dream Inc.\'S domain name, a large pop-up window with this slogan would appear, and it was impossible to ignore ...
"Ah ... What will come will come ..." Feng bujue, who was sitting in front of the computer and eating breakfast, had a very calm reaction to this announcement.
At this point, some of them had probably already guessed it. That was right ... After the \'last dinner\', this was the \'thing\' that Woody told brother Jue.
After all, brother Jue had \'connections\', and in this aspect, normal players could not compare to him. Of course, Woody had only told brother Jue three days in advance that the match was about to begin. He did not reveal much about the other rules and details.
"At this moment, those pro players ... Are probably going crazy ..." When Feng bujue finished the last mouthful of soy milk, he laughed with a gloating expression.
His guess was right ... All the major studios had taken it for granted that the preliminaries for S2 would start in November (S1\'s announcement had mentioned that the competition was held once every six months), so they were still in a relatively relaxed state at the beginning of August.
However, they had never expected ...... That the rules of S2 would be completely different from S1. Whether it was the registration qualifications, the period of the preliminaries, the form of the competition, or the rewards of the rankings ... Everything was a complete change ...
To make an analogy, S1 was like a small-scale elimination Grand Prix organized by the boxing League, and S2 ... Was like the five major leagues in Europe.
"In any case ... Let\'s take a look at what\'s written first ..." Feng bujue mumbled as he looked at the screen and clicked on the link on the pop-up window.
Two seconds later, he was connected to S2\'s discussion forum.
After learning from the various lessons they had learned during S1, dream Inc. Had made some targeted changes.
Take this S2 forum section for example ... They had prepared a separate server for this forum channel. Even if there were tens of millions of accounts flooding in at the same time, or even posting at the same time, it would definitely not collapse. Things like hacker attacks and software spamming were also within the scope of prevention.
The moment the special zone was opened, dream Inc. Posted a sticky thread on every channel of the forum: [before and after S2 of \'Conqueror of the highest level\', all topics related to the competition will be shifted to the relevant discussion zone.]
It was obviously very difficult for the administrator to be in charge of this operation ... Reading, reviewing, and moving the posts all took time. If the number of posts was large in a short time, the moderator could not manage it at all. Fortunately, there were optical computers in this era. Most of the screening and classification work could be done by the A. I., And the moderators only needed to clean up the fish that slipped through the net.
"Hmm ... This should be it ..." Feng bujue opened the special zone and scanned through it. Then, he clicked into the post,\'official summary of the rules of the tournament\'.
The post forbade anyone other than the administrator to reply to it. The content was endless and there were more than ten floors in total.
As a reader, brother Jue naturally would not miss a single line of words.
The first part was about the registration ...
[This competition is based on a group registration system. Starting from midnight on August 8th, players can fill in the registration application on the main screen of any \'meeting room\'.
Teams that meet any of the following conditions are qualified to register
[ 1. There will be one or more level 50 players in the party, and all other members will be level 40 (including level 40) and above.
Two, the average level of the team members has reached 44.
[ 3. Three members of the team have reached level 45, while the remaining two members have reached level 40 and have two A-level and above specializations.]
"Hmm...This standard is quite reasonable." Feng bujue read the post and said,"the third condition should be to take care of those players who specialize in medical or machinery, as well as those who rely on puzzle-solving to make a name for themselves ... These people\'s leveling speed might be slightly slower than the mainstream combat-type players."
He continued to read ...
[The registration must be done with five players in a team.
The team name used in the competition, the name list of the team members, and other information would be filled in by the team leader.
[The registration form can only be submitted after all the members in the team have completed the confirmation process.]
Five people, huh ... Feng bujue thought to himself, that\'s already more than the upper limit of The Killing Game ... What should I do about the battle drill?
The following content answered his question ...
<After the application is submitted, the system will complete the review of the application form within five minutes.
[The team that passes the review will be regarded as \'successful registration\'. All members of the team will immediately unlock the \'S2 training mode for supremacy\'. For details, please refer to the fourth floor.]
"Oh ... I\'ll just turn on the practice mode." As he spoke, Feng bujue had already moved the cursor to the fourth level of the post.
[Fight for the championship S2 practice mode]
This mode only supports 4V4 matches between S2 teams.
This mode does not have any rewards for terrorizing points, but the basic principle of \'disconnection due to high terrorizing points\' still applies.
Any world-building or mission may appear in this mode. The size and layout of the map will be randomly generated according to the abilities of the players on both sides.
In this mode, the player can only observe the nickname, level, and survival status of his teammates in the team bar. All information about the enemy will be blocked.
The experience, game coins, and skill points provided in this mode are similar to the slaughter mode, but the acquisition rate of items and skills will be lower than that of the general survival mode, similar to the novice practice mode.
[This mode still applies to the rules of interaction for players in team survival mode. If you are not familiar with these rules, please click on the link below.]
"What\'s the situation? 4V4?”Feng bujue was stunned after reading it. "Isn\'t the registration a five-man team?" He quickly returned to the top of the post and continued to read the previous content.
"This competition will be in the form of a 4 vs 4 battle. In every round of the competition, the registered team can adjust their lineup and choose four out of five players to fight."
"Oh?" When this rule entered brother Jue\'s field of vision, he noticed something."This is interesting ..." He mumbled to himself,"different team members can come up with different tactical combinations ... This way ... The analysis and planning before the game might very well be a part of the outcome of the game."
He immediately showed a not-so-friendly smile ... It was as if the depression of countless people who had been tricked by him had already appeared in front of his eyes.
[At midnight on August 10th,"S2 training mode for the tournament of the best" will be officially launched. At that time, teams that have unlocked the mode can join the queue and be matched with each other.
The mode will be closed again at midnight on August 30th. The official preliminaries would begin soon.
From midnight on August 8th to midnight on August 30th, all team leaders who have signed up will have one chance to submit a \'member change application\'.
Other than the team leader, all members have one chance to submit a \'leave request\'.
[After midnight on August 30th, all teams will be locked and can not be changed.]
"I see ..." Feng bujue read the paragraph."First, before midnight on the 10th, the players are given two days to form a team. Then, in the remaining 20 days, the teams would be given time to practice and get used to each other. Each player would also have a chance to make a new choice. This way ...... At the very least, most of the teams will be able to form a formation that they are satisfied with. "
[The "preliminaries mode"(temporary name) will be based on points. The specific starting time and rules will be announced at midnight on August 30th.
The preliminaries were expected to last for 50 days.
There are no invited players in this competition.
The list of names for the finals would be determined by the A. I.
The competition process will be completely open, transparent, and fair.]
"Haha ..." Feng bujue chuckled."Fair my ass ... You invited me directly last time, and now you\'re giving me spoilers ahead of time. Do you have any good intentions?" when he said that, he raised his voice intentionally.
"Haa~" the next second, Arthas yawned and said,"I know what you\'re trying to do. Don\'t waste your energy, meow."
"Ah? Are you talking to me?" Feng bujue turned around and played dumb.
"You pretended to be careless and said something that might affect Woody. You deliberately let me hear it." Arthas exposed brother Jue without hesitation."You want to use this to test ... If I would go to him and tell on him under similar circumstances. "If he does, you can use this as an opportunity to use me ... To pass on some information you want him to hear. If not, think of another way to probe further ..."
After hearing that, Feng bujue shrugged.""Tsk ... I\'ve been seen through ..."
"Go on, meow ..." Arthas said lazily."Don\'t think that you can rest easy just because you\'re level 50 (brother Jue reached the maximum level on August 5th). This year\'s s2 competition will be much tougher than S1, so you\'d better be prepared ..." After that, she wagged her tail and went back to sleep.
"Ah ... I\'ll try my best ..." Feng bujue replied and turned his gaze back to the monitor.
The following content of the post was the highly anticipated prize of the Kongtong Sect.
