Time passed quickly, and at midnight on May 16, the preliminaries for the pinnacle were closed.

The Battle of the Worms has come to an end.

On May 16th, the tournament is a day off, and players can rest for the day.

By the early morning of the 17th, the [Battle of Cocoons] will begin. From the rematch onwards, matches will be played on servers in sleep mode, scheduled for 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. When the match starts, players who are not on standby in the landing space will be considered to have forfeit.

Every duel in [Battle of Cocoons] is broadcast live. Players will be able to view any match from the login space or conference room through the guò screen. Players who like to be lively can also watch it on the big screen of the game store, where the main screen will select a more popular game to play, and there will be two commentators from the game company to broadcast and comment.

Xiao Si's preliminaries were not bad, but he failed to complete the winning streak and advanced, but played a full 50 matches.

Although he has won nine consecutive victories and defeated professional players like Bu Tiange, as Jue Ge analyzed, it is inevitable to meet players who restrain themselves......

In the end, Xiao Si's result was fixed at 42 wins and 8 losses. Anyway, according to Feng Bujue's theory, such a record can be properly qualified.

Because Xiao Si has been working overtime for a week since May 8, he has already completed all the preliminaries on the 7th. During the week of overtime, he only played one or two scripts in sleep mode every day, and basically stopped going online during the day.

In the past seven or eight days, there have been many cases of Brother Jue, Ruyu, and Tragic Spirit lining up together, and if there are friends online, they will also call them to reduce the probability of meeting strangers...... After all, Brother Jue is now a celebrity, and he is always asked long and short questions when he meets passers-by.

It is worth mentioning that at this peak battle for supremacy is in full swing...... Dream Inc. has quietly launched their second game, Crazy Mind.

Of course, it's just a demo version. At present, players can only play the practice mode with the opponent simulated by the light brain, and the battle mode has not yet been opened.

This is a card battle game, the player plays the role of the "commander", the arm of the "duel plate", leading their own "deck leader", commanding the monsters, traps, magic and so on turned into cards to fight.

The game can be switched in directly in the landing space; Lie down in the game pod, after completing the neural connection, just go to the [Welcome to the game landing space, the following is all the game items provided by Dream Company, please select to log in. In this step, select [Crazy Thinking].

At the beginning, Feng Bujue said that Dream Company was "not small". That's right. The game cabins, game headsets and other hardware devices launched by Dream Company are all unique models, and the games they launch are all exclusive to their own hardware. Imagine...... If one day, Dream Company's game cabin also begins to be compatible with other companies' games, then the hardware launched by other manufacturers will not have any competitive advantage at all......

May 16, still 5 p.m.

The list of 3,000 people who were successfully shortlisted for the [Battle of Cocoons] was officially announced on the homepage of the official website.

In fact. As early as an hour ago, each finalist had received an email in their mailbox notifying them of their promotion, and it was also marked in red. The system voice will also give them a detailed prompt when they last logged in.

In a word. After the news was announced, it can really be described as a few joys and a few sorrows.

Recently, the forums that have gradually recovered have once again set off a posting frenzy.

Something like, "Hey...... Thirty-five wins really failed to advance", "First ten consecutive wins, and then four consecutive defeats", "You local tyrants still can't let people live? Such a post...... Or show off, or be angry, or make excuses...... Anyway, everyone has participated in the [Battle of the Bugs]. But those who failed to advance seem to be bitter and bitter. It's as if they've either been treated unfairly, or they've occasionally been out of luck and out of luck.

But as the devil, Mr. Simon, once said, "Winning or losing is winning or losing." Loser. But that's it; To win, that is, to be strong.

The format of the preliminaries is quite reasonable, and the vast majority of really powerful players have advanced. I didn't make the cut, so I can only blame myself for not being strong enough. Making excuses won't change anything.

…………

At eight o'clock that night, the rules of the [Battle of Cocoons] were also listed in detail.

The battle of the cocoon, which is divided into five rounds. Two additional rounds of play-offs are attached.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 17, the first round of [Battle of Cocoons] began. Three thousand players will be randomly matched one-on-one to determine the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket, 1,500 each.

In the lower bracket, 1,380 people with poor results in the preliminaries will be eliminated directly; The remaining one hundred and twenty players advance to the play-offs.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 18, the first round of the play-offs. The 120 people with the best record in the lower bracket and the 120 people with the worst record in the upper bracket in the preliminary round...... Make a one-on-one random match. The loser is eliminated directly.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 19, the second round of the play-offs. The remaining 120 players from the first round of the play-offs will play it out again. The sixty players who survive the two play-offs will join the upper bracket.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 20, the second round of [Battle of Cocoons]. The 1,380 players in the upper bracket, plus the 60 players who made it through the play-offs, make a total of 1,440 players in a random matchmaking match. The loser is eliminated directly.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 21, the third round of [Battle of Cocoons]. Seven hundred and twenty into three hundred and sixty.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 22, the fourth round of [Battle of Cocoons]. Three hundred and sixty into one hundred and eighty.

At one o'clock in the morning on May 23, the fifth round of [Battle of Cocoons]. One hundred and eighty into ninety.

At this point, the [Battle of Cocoons] stage is over, and the last 90 players left will merge with the ten invited players to form the top 100 and enter the [Battle of Butterflies].

Basically...... In this rematch period, if you want to go further, you can't lose a game......

These 3,000 people are all masters left behind after the big waves, and I believe they also understand that every game is critical. If you miss a moment, you can only pay for it.

Of course, in terms of the format, there is still a glimmer of room for players.

Considering that the top players are likely to meet too early in the first round, two rounds of play-offs were set. Gave them a chance to make a comeback. At the same time, the play-offs can also test the weaker players in the upper bracket.

Other than that...... It's about the concept of "record", which is one of the most controversial topics. The ...... is now on the forum There are players who win thirty-seven games and advance, but there are also those who win thirty-seven games and don't make the cut.

On this point, Dream Company gives a convincing enough number. The system will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the total survival value, stamina, battle time, and skill points obtained by each player in the 50 duels in the preliminary round. This assessment is also used in deciding the play-off roster. It is the basis for judging which player has the better record in the same winning situation.

…………

In the early hours of May 17.

Xiao Si logged into the game in sleep mode, and with a nervous mood, he was ready to usher in his first [Cocoon Battle].

If the preliminaries feel like a general 1v1 killing game, then this rematch ...... But it's different.

This is live, and if the random opponent is a well-known player, the matchup may even be put on the main screen of the mall, and then watched by hundreds of thousands of people under the comments of the commentators.

Xiao Si has been quite low-key since he was a child, and he hasn't shown his head much, so at this time, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous.

However, these psychological stage fright reactions should be quickly ignored when it comes to the actual fight. Anyway, players can't see the audience or hear the commentary in the script; Even if they were really drawn and put on the main screen, they didn't know.

For the player, it is enough to focus on the battle itself.

[Important: The first round of the Battle of the Cocoon is about to begin, please be ready within the game time - ten minutes - as the countdown will be teleported immediately.] The system voice rang at 0:50.

After the prompt ends, Xiao Si can see the countdown displayed in the upper right as long as he opens the game menu. (To be continued......)
