Three days later, on Wednesday, the Arena Tournament for the massively multiplayer role-playing game Sword Blade finally began at 2 p.m. Beijing time.

This game, exactly

Although it was robbed of many users by the popular "War Paradise", as the "last glory" of the brain imaging MMORPG, the number of users of "Blade" is still very large. This time, naturally, the competition also attracted many spectators.

This is different from agencies that post live streams on the web and allow players to watch them outside of the game. Perhaps in order to entice players to set up accounts, Blade is a major event in the game that can only be seen inside the game.

A week before the tournament starts, a limited number of Arena tickets will be officially sold, and only players who have purchased tickets will be able to enter the Ringfighting Arena, the largest arena in the Blade universe. Sit in the audience and enjoy the "fight to the death" in the field.

The walls of the circular arena are nearly 60 meters high, and the interior is large enough to accommodate 90,000 spectators. Just by looking at the oppressive appearance, you know that this place is imitating the famous Colosseum in ancient Rome. And the competition in the arena is even more thrilling than the ancient killing competition.

At this time, the audience who had purchased the tickets was being transported to their seats one by one. There are more and more figures in the stepped auditoriums around the arena. The players participating in this competition are currently in the closed team preparation room, making their final preparations.

The prize money for the champion of this competition reached 1 million yuan, and the second and third places were 500,000 and 200,000 yuan respectively.

As long as you finish in the top 5% of the Arena Ladder this season, you can sign up for this Arena Tournament. And Lin Chi's "Hellfire" team naturally easily reached this standard and signed up for this event.

"It's time."

Standing in a closed secret room without doors and windows, looking at the cold-colored walls around him, Lin Chi, who was wearing a gray robe, set his eyes on the other four members of the team standing in front of him:

"There's nothing to say about the first round, it's a 2v2 battle, I'm fighting with the Reaper, and the three of you just shout 666 on the sidelines." Lin Chi said and focused his gaze on the strong man in the pitch-black battle armor and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

"I'm ready." The tall man whose ID was the "Reaper" said in a rough voice, smashing the armor on his chest with his fist, and the blade of the silver giant axe in his hand flashed with a dangerous cold light.

Unlike this guy who looked like a warrior, Lin Chi was wearing a red robe and holding a magic staff, obviously a standard "mage". In addition to the two members of the team, the other three members of the team were all wearing silver light armor and did not have any weapons in their hands.

"Captain, is it really okay to play like this? If it's a little bit worse, we're going to have GG. "Black Fire", the youngest member of the team, asked worriedly, "I think it's better to play normally......"

"Little ghost, don't question the captain's opinion, his old man's tactics are much more successful than yours!" Standing beside Heihuo, the girl with purple wavy curly hair reached out and patted Heihuo's shoulder vigorously: "You better master the skills first, don't keep holding us back!" ”

"Fart." Heihuo turned his head and stared at the woman angrily: "You also made a mistake last time, are you embarrassed to talk about me?" ”

When the two quarreled, the always taciturn archer "Alpha" still stood in place without saying a word, with an expression of "caring for the mentally retarded" on his face.

Although there was some noise in the preparation room, Lin Chi had already entered a state of concentration and directly filtered out the voices of the two guys.

- Even if I don't have much interest in the game anymore, it's my job after all, and I still have to give it my all.

In the arena of "Sword Blade", 2V2 is undoubtedly the one with the most variables, after all, now the 5V5 arena has already developed several strongest lineups, and basically everyone uses those routines.

In a 5v5 team, there must be a healing character, a main outtaker, and a coverer responsible for protecting the outcome, and the remaining two positions are more free, you can add a healer, or you can send one more guy to fight damage, and increase the intensity of the attack.

But in 2v2 races, it's clearly a different story:

The combination of two players is not as clear as in 5v5 matches. In this kind of competition, there are simply no professions that must be brought, and there are no specific team rules to follow.

You can choose between two brute force outputs to kill the opponent to slag, or you can combine a DPS and a milk to engage in a war of attrition with the enemy. The choice of profession is also very free, all kinds of professions can appear, and even those less popular professions, if they play well enough, they may be able to shine in two-on-two matches.

Although he has spent a lot of time in "War Paradise" recently, and the training time of "Sword Blade" has been relatively shortened, Lin Chi does not think that he will lose in the first round at all.

So, let's see if the tactics work well this time.

When Lin Chi was thinking about it, he heard the voice of the host of the arena competition, which was actually a well-known game commentator invited by the official, constantly echoing in the preparation room:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 4th Sword Blade Arena Contest titled by 'XX Children's Growth Milk'!"

"This competition is still a knockout format, and now it is about to be the first round of knockout rounds of 32 into 16! Cheers, the champion of the last competition, the famous Valkyrie and her team, will also be participating in this event! ”

Before the words fell, a deafening cheer immediately rang out in the arena.

Hearing this voice, Lin Chi was not surprised, he knew very well that many spectators planned to witness the heroic appearance of the legendary "Valkyrie" up close, so they would buy tickets to watch this event.

"Last time we were defeated by that woman......"

Lin Chi said and looked down at his hands, recalling the scene when he lost to the Valkyrie in the last arena competition.

"Isn't the captain reconciled?" The purple-haired female mage standing next to her showed a sly smile: "Do you want to kill the Valkyrie?" ”

"Nope." Lin Chi shook his head slowly: "I'm not that boring......"

From the large screen on the wall of the preparation room, you can see the situation in the arena, and at this time, there are already two teams that have been teleported to the arena.

Then, the host's very demagogic voice sounded again, and together with the cheers on the sidelines, it shook Lin Chi's eardrums:

"Ready? So now – the race begins! ”
