Chapter 1344 Second Round

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

In the first round of Peak Contest S3, a total of 13,352 games were played at the same time. Even if we ignore the relatively uneven matches between non-professional teams, there were almost endless battle reports worth following up.

Of course, the most eye-catching news was the peak showdown between [Gods] and [Order].

There were many points worth reporting and paying attention to in this game, and one of the hottest topics was - who can stop [Tuntian Guixiao]?

Although the general public has many different answers to this question, it is obvious that "Feng Bujue" is the answer with the highest frequency.

I don't know when, Brother Jue has become a "special response plan" that people will immediately think of when facing various "impossible problems".

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

How to divide a prime number with a natural number other than 1? Let Feng Bujue try.

How to defeat Tuntian Guixiao? It seems that only Feng Bujue can try.

It can be said that all that Jue Ge has done in Horror Paradise over the past year has now borne fruit; such "popularity", whether good or bad, at least shows that he has the appearance of a king in the "Candidate Game".

…………

March 22, midnight.

The match list for the second round of S3 was announced on the official website on time.

Like the first round, the matchups of the seeded teams are of course highly anticipated.

However, this round did not feature a focus match of [Order] VS [Gods]; all the strong teams that players can name, and those with first-line star players, were staggered in this second round.

Despite this, the game is still very watchable and popular; because... in the first round, many teams composed of "folk masters" showed very amazing strength, which seemed to be enough to threaten those professional teams.

Therefore, in the 24 hours after the list was announced, both the data analysis team of the professional studio and the think tanks of the non-professional teams were busy studying the first round of the opponent's game video... The real "intelligence war" officially started from this round.

…………

On March 23, at midnight, the second round of S3 began.

There are a total of 13,353 teams participating in this round, of which 13,352 teams will compete and the remaining team will be a bye; except for the bye team that will advance directly, the remaining teams will still be cut in half... After the game, 6,676 teams will be eliminated.

The opponent encountered by [Hell Front] this time is called [Controversy Alliance], a team composed of seven "former professional players".

In a sense, the two teams are also predestined, because these "former professional players" were all former players of Corpse Blade Studio.

Speaking of Corpse Blade, the company has indeed had a lot of problems in recent days...

A few months ago, the boss of Corpse Blade suddenly "disappeared" one night, and a few days later, their studio was approached by various relevant departments. After just one week of "investigation", Corpse Blade ended up being raided and closed.

Although it is just a game studio, the wide range of interest chains involved behind it is really eye-opening; during that time, explosive news about Corpse Blade was exposed almost every day - some collusion with illegal pharmaceutical groups, some collusion with smuggling groups, and even some people said that they were related to some gambling organizations in urban legends... These news were true and false, not to mention outsiders, even their internal people were confused.

To make a long story short, the investigation and disposal of Corpse Blade by various departments seemed extremely efficient, and the matter was basically completed in two weeks; the online revelations did not last too long, after all, "netizens only have less than a week of memory", and people's attention soon turned to other more fresh hot events.

After that, many people in the management of Corpse Blade completely disappeared from the public eye, and it seems that they will never have the opportunity to return to the game industry again.

And those players who left Corpse Blade also had a hard time... Originally, their strength was relatively average, and they could only be blue-collar workers in the first-tier studios. Once Corpse Blade fell, their experience there became a black history; other studios would not spend extra public relations fees to recruit a few blue-collar players, and it would be better to use newcomers than to use them.

Therefore, most of these former Corpse Blade players directly announced their retirement, became "former professional players", and then devoted themselves to the anchor industry.

At present, the [Controversy Alliance] team that [Hell Frontline] is facing is composed of seven anchors who used to be in Corpse Blade.

Although they are "former professional players" and the characters they used were all retrained after Corpse Blade was closed, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The game level and competition experience of these seven people... are undoubtedly at the professional level.

In addition, since they crushed their opponents 3-0 in the first round, they did not reveal much information from the intelligence level, and can be said to be a very tricky team.

Once again, long story short...

In the first three games of this round, Brother Jue arranged -

"Vanguard Battle": [Xu Huaishang]

"Backbone Battle": [Si Yu Ruoli], [Shi Shang Hua Jian].

"Commander Battle": [Feng Bujue]

…Such a lineup.

In less than fifteen minutes, [Hell Frontline] quickly swept the opponent with a 3-0 advantage and successfully advanced to the third round.

By the way…of these fifteen minutes, ten minutes were for the intermission.

…………

In this way, the second round of the game ended in a warm but not fierce atmosphere.

All the seeded teams can be said to have advanced without any surprises, and there was no sudden upset, nor the explosive point of the two strong teams in the first round.

However, in the games of those non-seeded teams, there were several teams of casual players…or in other words, some ordinary players with outstanding performance…which have attracted the attention of all walks of life.

After two rounds of battles, those hidden "masters", which ones are fakes with one trick, and which ones are real strong players with stable strength, are almost all clues.

In the early morning of the 24th, the match list for the third round of the game was announced.

Finally, the duel that can be called the "focus battle" appeared again.

This time, there are two noteworthy matches -

The first match, [Heaven and Earth] vs. [Shanhe]... This is a duel between two veteran first-line studios, which can be said to be a grudge match.

The second match, [Hongying] vs. [Heaven's Gate]... The former, after losing the absolute trump card [Xu Huaishang], still maintained a sweeping score and advanced to the third round. The new trump card they are now focusing on training is also highly anticipated; the latter is a team composed of casual players. [Heaven's Gate] also swept all the way to advance, and the four players who have appeared in the team so far have all shown professional-level... even dominant-level combat power, which also makes them a dark horse with great potential in the eyes of many people.
