Chapter 499: It's really hard to run a competition
It's been less than a month since the start of the "Little Adventure World Series", and the official competition format flow chart for this competition has also been released.
The first is to sign up, which was released a long time ago, players must rely on their own strength, in the "Little Adventure" game to capture 10 "World Hearts", to have the qualification to sign up for the competition, of course, the same is true for the team competition, you need to win 10 in the team, a total of 50.
This is a matter of course, after all, there are so many players in the game "Little Adventure", if everyone participates, the audition schedule is too long, and the rookies peck each other is not much to watch, so hurry up and get a total of 10 "World Hearts" thresholds to screen out those players who are not strong enough.
After all, players who can capture 10 "World Hearts" in a year's time, regardless of strength, should have a certain depth in terms of understanding the game.
Moreover, only the "Heart of the World" captured in the game "Little Adventure" does not include the "Virtual Trading Row", the "Heart of the World" obtained in "The Great Adventure of Shame", and the "Heart of the World" obtained in "Virtual Training Center", which correspondingly excludes some rich people and players who are not good at fighting against others.
After registration, the first place to start is the qualifiers.
The purpose of the qualifiers is to screen players, after all, although there are 10 "hearts of the world" threshold, but for an ordinary person, if you play every night throughout the year, it is not difficult to win 10 "hearts of the world", after all, the more the game is played later, the closer the players you meet are to your own strength, in a fair case, occasionally lucky, or play extraordinarily, you can win stars, just like playing "Eat Chicken", ordinary players play a lot, and they will eat a few handfuls of chicken.
But the format of the qualifiers is not the same as before.
Little Adventure is a winner-takes-all game, where only 5 of the 120 players in a match can complete the mission and claim the "Heart of the World", while the rest of the players only earn points that are of little use.
In other words, there is no other ranking except for the first place in the task.
Of course, there is no other ranking, not that the higher the points you settle in the end, the higher the ranking, just like the picture of "Biochemical City", the task is to retrieve the "virus stock solution" in the underground laboratory of the research institute, although there are points to kill zombies, but this is meaningless, no matter how much you kill, it has nothing to do with the task itself.
In other words, even if you kill all the zombies in the city, as long as you don't retrieve the "virus essence", then you are no different from those stupid players who fall off the city wall and fall to their deaths.
Therefore, during the official competition, it is not possible to rank players according to the number of points, and arrange for the top ranked players to advance to the next round.
There is only one criterion for players to advance to the next round, and that is to complete the mission and capture the "Heart of the World"!
Moreover, the formulation of this standard is also to allow players not to play negatively, if according to the ranking of points, someone does not complete the task, so they go to fight monsters, a dozen to play a whole game, and finally fight with other players who work hard to complete the task, then what is the point?
It's like playing "League of Legends", some people play a negative game, that is, they don't participate in team battles, they keep running to replenish the troops in the three routes, they don't care if they are caught, they are resurrected and then replenished the troops, and finally look at the number of supplementary soldiers to judge him to win? This makes no sense.
A game has an exact winning or losing standard of the game, "League of Legends" is to push the opponent's base crystal, and "Little Adventure" is to complete the task at the end to win the stars, so that players can be clear and clear.
However, unlike traditional e-sports competitions, the "Little Adventure World Series" has no offline competitions, no detailed division of leagues at various levels, and no division of regions in various countries and regions.
Therefore, in terms of the competition format, it is very different from traditional esports competitions.
In Leon's design, the qualifiers used a "ten-final qualification system" designed by himself to ensure the participation of players and the efficiency of screening.
This "ten-final qualification system" looks like this:
After the official start of the qualifiers, the tournament will be held in four periods every day: 0:00 a.m. to 0:30 a.m., 6 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., 12 noon to 12:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Seikyo time.
During these four time periods, players who meet the registration requirements will be able to register for the tournament by clicking on the dedicated qualifier option, selecting "Individual Tournament" or "Team Competition".
Unlike the usual game, the contestants in the qualifiers are randomly arranged, not according to the player's original hidden score, but only randomly arranged according to the players who sign up in that time period, so that players may encounter high-level bosses and low-level rookies.
And this qualifier is not a one-game winner, but it will be brushed down before it passes, but there are ten chances, that is, whether it is an individual player or a team of five players, you can participate in a total of ten qualifiers, and in the ten qualifiers, if you can successfully complete the task once and capture the "heart of the world", then you will be considered qualified and advance to the next stage of the competition.
This qualifier will last for a total of 50 days, and players can choose any of the four time slots on any day within these 50 days, participate in the competition, and have nine chances to learn lessons, prepare plans, and regroup.
Of course, if someone wins the "Heart of the World" before they have used up these 10 chances, then he or they will also lose the remaining chances and lose the qualification to participate in the next qualifiers, and wait for the 50 days to end and the next stage of the competition begins.
Of course, there is a reason for this arrangement, of course, it is simple to win or lose a game, and the efficiency of screening players is even higher, but the flaws are also very big.
First, it is unfair, because it is a randomly matched player, it is very likely that two high-level superpowers or multiple powerful professional players will be arranged in one game, which will cause players with sufficient strength to fail to appear, and wonderful games will appear in advance, and other players will become foils.
And if there are 10 chances, if you lose a game, you don't care, it's just bad luck, and the next game will come again, if you lose ten games in a row, most people will have a certain self-knowledge of their own strength, and they will accept their fate.
Second, the sense of participation is too weak, and there are tens of thousands of players who meet the registration requirements, among which there are many people who are pretentious, even if they are not accurate in shooting, unfamiliar with fighting, and have a low superpower level, but they still have a championship dream in their hearts, looking forward to the ethereal "luck".
For example, what if the two great masters die together? What if I get the quest item with my remnants of blood? What if I get the right thing and the sneak attack succeeds? What if I get in a flock of rookies? …… Etcetera.
There is always a large number of people who have such fantasies, and it is not necessarily unrealistic, because many maps in the "Little Adventure" game also provide weapons, and some weapons are also very powerful, and if used properly, it is still possible to kill a high-level superpower with non-defensive abilities, such as the beam gun and lightsaber in the "somersault cloud" map, the plasma grenade in the "Moon Battlefield" map, the beam rifle and so on.
If a game is won or lost, and these goggles are allowed to go home, then they will definitely be very uncomfortable in their hearts, privately or publicly, mocking this "Little Adventure World Series" and doing something stupid.
And if there are ten chances, there will always be some such people who are unlucky, or obscene and cunning, and successfully snatch food in the hands of the masters, obtain the right to qualify, and become an excuse for ordinary players to spread endlessly and comfort themselves that "it's just bad luck".
Moreover, such a format will also better mobilize the player's sense of participation in the game, participating once and then returning home, which is completely different from participating ten times for 50 days.
These regular players who participate in the tournament will discuss a lot of things during these 50 days. For example, when is the time period with the lowest chance of encountering a master? As we approach the start of the game, do I score as soon as we get to the hour, or do I wait until I'm close to 30 points? What should I do if I can't beat a high-level superpower boss? What kind of masters have you encountered? Who are the favourites? Which lucky one is eating again? ……
For example, which professional players, high-level superpowers, high-level players who are favorites to win the championship, players are generally difficult to contact in the usual games, and they explain other players who are about the same strength as them, but in these 10 qualifiers, they will have a great chance of encountering these masters, facing these masters, and witnessing their strength.
In addition, there is a live broadcast function in the game, players can take pictures of the fighting posture of the masters with their own hands, and contribute to the list of popular masters, and most of the players in the game have corrected their appearance, handsome men and beautiful women, and some masters may have a group of fans at that time.
If the sense of participation is strong and the players are willing to participate, then the heat of this competition will be high, and the gold content of the competition champion will be high, even higher than the prize of 100 million meters.
Just like the S-League of League of Legends, even though it has a lot of prize money, more than 30 million, which team is here for these bonuses alone? What they value most is the trophy of the champion, the honor that the trophy represents.
Relying on this game, make a name for yourself, and become a handsome master, an otaku goddess, a super tyrant, an invincible gun god and the like, even if you lose, you can make a lot of money by going to the live broadcast of Good Dreams to finish the live broadcast.
After the qualifiers, it's time for the knockouts.
The knockout round, as the name suggests, is to continue to eliminate players, and finally determine the final 120 individuals in the final singles competition, as well as the 24 five-person teams in the team competition.
In order to achieve such an elimination efficiency, the knockout round is not as loose as the qualifiers, it is still the promotion of the star winners, but it is a game to determine the winner or loser, that is, after a game, most of the players will be eliminated directly, and most of the master players who have worked hard to play from the qualifiers.
Cruel, and exciting, just like gambling money with all the chips, a game is determined to win or lose, everyone has no way out, can only do their best in this game.
However, there will also be a problem, that is, there are so many players who have advanced to this stage, how can 120 single players and 24 teams of 5 players be eliminated exactly?
After all, if you want to eliminate 120 solo players, you need 14,400 players to advance, 24 teams, and 576 teams and 2,880 players.
After all, the number of players who come through the qualifiers is not certain, no matter how you look at it, it will be larger than these numbers, and there will be more than 120 single players, or 24 teams of 5 people, and it may end up with 250 single players, what about 38 teams?
That's very simple, Leon uses division, to put it simply, it is to pinch the head and remove the tail, a game is not fixed at 120 people, but according to the number of players who are promoted, if there are more players, then a game is more than 120 people, if there are fewer players, then a game is less than 120 people.
Of course, the original map may not be suitable for a large number of people, so in the knockout stage, the official provision is a special special game map, the number of people is larger, the number of people is smaller, if the final number is not enough, the original eliminated players still have the qualification for the repechage, and a certain number of lucky people will be redrawn for the repechage match.
In short, it's all about one goal, which is to decide these 120 single players, 24 teams, and finally the final final.
Moreover, also in order to deepen the player's sense of participation, this knockout round, as well as the final final, are all broadcast live.
This live broadcast is an official live broadcast, and it is not the same as the ordinary good dream live broadcast, the viewer can choose to enter the watch through the special page of the good dream live broadcast, and the viewer will become a very fast, but invisible, invisible, and untouchable, ghost that does not have any impact on the surroundings, wandering around the entire arena at will, choosing their favorite target, favorite angle, and conducting multi-directional, immersive viewing.
In addition, before the start of the game, there is also a betting session, where players can bet on their favorite Xuanshen to see if he can qualify, of course, it is a winner-takes-all, and the correct player will divide the points of other players who make mistakes.
Yes, the points are used by players from the Little Adventure game, which can be exchanged for virtual clothing, rather than the Dream Fund that can be directly exchanged for real money.
Of course, it is exciting to use the Dream Fund, but after all, this is just a game, and it is not tender to change to the corresponding policy of the country, after all, gambling involving money is illegal in most areas, although Li Ang is a ball rape, but he is also a law-abiding citizen.
You don't have to worry about these problems with game currency like points.,And game points are also somewhat useful.,After all, you can open virtual clothing.,If you're lucky enough to open the best clothing.,You can also sell it for some money.。
The final final is simple, it is still a game to win or lose, 120 single players decide 1 "adventure king", 100 million meters of gold, 24 teams to determine the "strongest adventure group", five people share 100 million meters of gold.
Of course, the same is true for the finals, with full live broadcasts and betting, and the relevant footage of the match is recorded, so players can re-watch the two finals from other angles after the match.
