Thriller Paradise Chapter 1364: Long books with books, short books without books
March 27th, morning.
As the dust settled in the fourth round of the game, the battle reports of all parties were also released.
The focus of the battle between [Warring States] and [Waste Chai Alliance] is undoubtedly the top priority of various reports, and other seed teams, because they have all advanced without risk, they have not received much attention. .
Of course, like the previous rounds, when the new match list is announced at midnight the next day, people’s attention will be put on the new round list.
…………
In the fifth round of S3 Summit, a total of 1670 teams participated; for the first time since the start of the game, the number of participating teams has reached an even number, that is to say... There is no team bye in this round, all teams have to rely on Victory comes to advance.
However, in this round, there was no "focus war", and the encounter between the two powers did not appear.
Actually... From this round, for the entire five rounds, there were no collisions between strong teams, and no upsets occurred.
These five rounds of calm have turned into a carnival for casual players.
Except for the teams that unfortunately encountered the seeded team, the battles between the various folk gods can be said to be exciting; unlike those between the first-line strong teams, the ordinary players The game has a different flavor...such as "low-level errors", "coordination errors", "downwind and waves against wind", "exotic tactics", "exotic tactics", "exotic tactics encounter strange tactics", "exotic tactics" A series of situations that are almost invisible in a series of professional games, such as "experiencing strange formations" and "low-end mutual conflicts evolving into high-end seesaws", can be described as endless in the competitions between casual players.
If you compare the "strong matchup" between the seeded teams to the NBA Finals, then this "lower limit is unknown", "any strange situation may happen" game is roughly that you run to free on a certain weekend You’ll see the "Mystery Showdown" in the street stadium of Beijing; all you see on the stage of the finals are professional athletes, but you may encounter anyone on the street stadium... What kind of excuse, apology, awkward chat , Concave modeling brother, virtual cousin, player and coach brother, screaming foul brother, not entering nor passing brother, empty height but only shooting three-pointers, thinking that he can slam dunk but not good brother, and hitting the audience The mysterious old man, etc... There is always one you have encountered, or it is yourself.
It’s a bit far away...
In short, this kind of game is also very fun to watch.
…………
A book is long, and no book is short.
Although there is nothing to focus on in these five rounds, the elimination process still needs to be explained.
At the end of the fifth round, a total of 835 teams advanced.
In the sixth round, because the number of teams returned to the odd number, there was one team bye, and the remaining 834 teams were cut in half.
In the seventh round, 418 teams fight against each other, and there is no bye.
In the eighth round, there were 209 teams, one team had a bye, and the remaining 208 teams lost half.
In the ninth round, 105 teams participated and one team had a bye.
In this way, by the tenth round of S3, there are a total of 53 teams left, of which, professional teams and casual players each account for about 50%...and this is exactly what Dream Company expected when the competition system was formulated. What happened.
Even though S3 has not yet decided the final champion, from the perspective of business operations, the "no preliminaries and all random competition system" adopted in this competition has achieved unprecedented success.
Whether it is the participation of players, the popularity of related topics, or the direct or indirect income inside and outside the game... all aspects of the data are exciting; so far, S3 has achieved both user satisfaction and economic benefits. It has surpassed the sum of S1 and S2, and the employees of Dream Company can basically celebrate in advance.
Of course, players don’t pay attention to these.
At this stage, players are naturally concerned about which team will aspire to the top of S3.
…………
On April 7, on the day when the tenth round of matching lists was announced, Dream Company updated an announcement on its official website without warning-"To celebrate the first anniversary of the open beta of Thrillerland, from now on, all online shopping malls RMB items are sold at 50% off for a period of seven days."
Everyone has seen a promotion, but this kind of "sudden attack" type of promotion is really rare; some players have wondered before...Why doesn't the game "Thrillerland" have an anniversary event or something? Could it be that the game company has forgotten this?
As a result, the players ushered in such a drama of "Say discounts and discounts", as if the game company was saying to the majority of players in a very perfunctory tone: "This kind of day is nothing to celebrate, but Since you still remember, let me give you some discounts."
Meaning is unknown...
…………
At midnight on April 8, the tenth round of the game started on time.
Maybe it's because there have been no strong teams in the first five rounds, or maybe it's because the number of teams is really small now.
Anyway, for some reasons based on probability that I don't know much about it, so I don't even bother to elaborate... In the tenth round, the "power-to-power showdown" came out like a blowout.
First of all, [Waste Chai Alliance] is against [Ice Emperor]... Yes, the "Ice Emperor Cowherd Group" led by [Young Master Rubu] is now an emerging first-line studio. This time they On the way to advancement, three teams from second-tier studios have been easily eliminated; from the actual performance, the combat power of [Ice Emperor] cannot be underestimated.
Secondly, the battle between [Order] and [Stars].
The [Xing Chen] who lost Ma’s brother has lost a great deal of strength, but they are also a studio with the purpose of "cultivating star players to sell abroad". It is more difficult to collect seven first-class masters, so collect seven. A newcomer with first-class potential is a good one... Coupled with the luck of this competition, it is not surprising that they can reach this round.
It's just...this round of encountering [Order], I'm afraid their luck is over.
Then ~IndoMTL.com~ there is also a duel between [Jianghu] and [Fengyun]; as a first-line studio that I never mentioned in the previous article, but does exist, the appearance of [Fengyun] is destined Is short-lived. For readers, who will win this game... is clear at a glance, but for the audience in the novel, this is still a very interesting game.
As for other studio teams similar to [Fengyun], although there were a few teams that encountered each other in this round, unfortunately...they have nothing to do with the main characters of the book, so their names I don’t need to list them all.
Next, let’s talk about [Hell Front]...
In this round, Jue’s opponent is [Shanhe]. From the perspective of overall strength, the advantage of [Hell Frontline] is quite obvious... But after all, the opponent is also an old first-line team, not that kind of casual line up. Teams that can be swept by the lineup need to be handled carefully.
Furthermore, [Autumn Wind Se] and [Matcha Pastry] in the [Shanhe] team are also candidates for betting, so this will also be a direct duel between the candidates.
Finally...In this round full of various highlights and slots, there is one more thing worth mentioning-[Heaven's Gate], bye.
