Chapter 326: Tough Qualifiers
The next two days were pretty uneventful for the vast majority of players, and apart from the daily quests, very few players were able to receive any earth-shattering and difficult tasks, and that alone was a tear. It seems that when the tournament is about to begin, the official of "Cataclysm" treats all players equally, and I hope that this time the competition will be conducted under the absolutely just, fair and balanced conditions of Yizhong.
Tuesday, it didn't take long to come.
At 8:55 a.m. on this day, after practicing guns online for an hour, Chu Fan and his comrades came to the gate of the Tianxin City Arena.
At this time, the arena is not the same as usual, there are a total of 100 NPC instructors here, each instructor is a colonel, and their names are prefixed with a uniform prefix, called "competition guide", after talking to them, you can enter the arena and wait for the game to start.
Because of these 100 NPCs, the queue is quite fast, and there is no crowding at all.
After Chu Fan and his comrades said good luck to each other, they each talked to the NPC, and then entered the competition venue.
At this moment, an interface popped up in front of Chu Fan's eyes, on which the rules of the qualifiers were written.
Chu Fan looked at it like this, and almost fell down, damn, it took a long time to make a mistake, it turned out that the rules were exactly the same as the classic mode of daily tasks!32 people entered a map, played biochemical mode, and the one with the highest score advanced to the next round, and the others were eliminated without discussion!
The only difference is that the game is played in 9 rounds instead of 17 rounds!
However, it is also because it only plays 9 rounds, so it is not a good thing for many slow players!
Chu Fan's heart was a little worried, he was not worried about himself, but for a few old guys in the team, such as Ye Luo Zhiqiu, Tan Min, and Wolf Shadow under the Moon, these are all slow-burning players, they are all so powerful, if they can't be promoted by this unlucky competition system, they will be depressed!
But there is no way, the competition system is officially set by others, and it cannot be changed, so you can only adapt!
The qualifiers will only be played today until the round of 128 will be determined in each region. Players who can enter the regional knockout round can get the virtual rewards sent by the system, and from the knockout round, they can get the top 32 and enter the regional offline finals. The top two teams in each region can enter the national finals, and the rewards will be even more generous.
These details are simple to say, if you want to enter the final stage, you are bound to reach the sky, just take a competition as an example, China's current players who have signed up for the competition are a full 6.93 million!
The Hebei Division is one of the hottest regions in the north in CF, and the same is true in Cataclysm, with 400,000 players signing up this time.
However, although the number of players is large, in fact, after the qualifiers are played in two rounds, there are only more than 300 players left, after all, each group of players is 32 people, and 31 of them must be eliminated.
Chu Fan's first map was the Silent Village that he was familiar with, and he kept all his reservations, but he didn't use his full strength, and finally became the first place with a score of 301 points and successfully advanced to the next round.
After playing the first round of the game, Chu Fan entered the team's voice channel and found that, as he expected, there were a few happy and a few sad in the team.
Ye Luo Zhiqiu said depressedly: "Slow heat kills people, 255 points, only 5 points short of advancing to the next round! I'm sorry, brother, you can't warm my bed." ”
Chu Fan took a deep breath: "My chrysanthemum is saved." Wolf Shadow, how are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed too, damn, why are these kids so strong, I actually played seventh place, it's a shame!"
Tan Min said: "I am also hanging, 267 points, the same score as the second place, I have survived once more than him, so the system decides that I win!"
After the first round of the VIC team, all the members of the studio passed, which was good, but Ye Luo Zhiqiu's team and Zhang Qiang's team together, there were only 7 people in total, and together, there were only 13 people, so it was really a bit hanging.
Jiang Leiya hurriedly cheered everyone up: "Don't be discouraged, students who didn't pass the first round, hurry up and relax, work hard to level up, students who have passed the first round, make persistent efforts and strive to enter tomorrow's knockout round!"
Chu Fan said with a smile: "Boss, what you said is official, come, let me say two special words, if there are 5 people in the team who enter the division finals, I will invite everyone to eat on behalf of the boss!"
Return to the sea and ask the fish god to mend the knife: "You have a treat, Lao Ye settles the bill!"
Ye Luo Zhiqiu agreed: "No problem!"
......
I don't know if Ye Luo Zhiqiu's boldness played a role, in the second round of qualifiers, 11 of the remaining 13 members of the VIC team advanced directly.
Immediately after the third round of qualifiers, which is also the most critical round, the top 128 will be decided!
This round, the game was a little easier than expected, and after the warm-up period, among the remaining 11 members, 8 players finally successfully reached the top 128 of the division. Among them, all the members of the VIC studio were promoted, and the remaining two were Tan Min and Zhang Qiang.
The game played like this, and it stands to reason that it was a relatively ideal result. However, many players who have already advanced can't get excited.
Bai Shuang'er, who won with difficulty, couldn't help sighing: "I'm so angry that I'm about to smash the mouse, thanks to the third round, the top 10 or 11 in each group are promoted, otherwise, my face of the fourth place is really nowhere to put it." ”
Li Zitian pouted: "I am ranked 10th, and I mean that the pressure is even greater." ”
Zhang Ling clenched her fists, and she was a little uneasy: "Chu Fan, if you continue to fight like this, the situation is not good!"
Chu Fan thought for a moment, and finally said: "That's it, this afternoon, all the students who have been shortlisted should not play the game, follow me to the CF, I will abuse you for a day, like this, your game tomorrow will be no fun." ”
Bai Shuang'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Chu Fan, are you going to teach us any stunts?"
"It's not a stunt, it's just a bloody experience. ”
......
So, this afternoon, these 7 players did not play "Cataclysm", but followed Chu Fan, practicing from the afternoon until half past 10 in the evening, and they only rested for an hour and a half during dinner time at night.
The next day's game is still at 9 o'clock in the morning, but the amount of competition has become very small, the top 128 players in each division are randomly divided into 8 groups by the system, 16 players in each group play a large map, 17 rounds to decide the winner, the top 4 in each group directly enter the regional offline finals, and the other players are eliminated.
It was also 8:55 a.m., and more than 40 players from the same VIC team teamed up, but only 8 people were left who actually walked in front of the NPCs of the event, and the rest of the members were watching the game from the periphery.
At the same time, members of KINGS also appeared.
To the surprise of the VIC members, there were as many as 10 members of KINGS who were shortlisted for the top 128 in the division!
