After "Plants vs. Zombies" opened the closed beta, there was corresponding news on the Internet immediately, and a super fun casual game called "Plants vs. Zombies" in the Chuxin Experience Store has begun internal testing.

This news came so suddenly, so timely, the original true love players who were holding their breath directly launched a counterattack, drowning those who had recently blackened Gu Feng and questioned Gu Feng directly in the spittle, forcing these guys to delete the dynamic turtle.

There are also hard-mouthed people who say that Gu Feng can only do casual games, good guy, as soon as these words came out, it was like increasing the magnetic force for himself, absorbing the firepower of other people, which greatly helped the friendly army reduce the pressure.

Of course, these are just a little episodes, and as New Year's Day approaches, the interstellar auditions are gradually coming to an end.

Although the audition is not over yet, the ranking of the top 64 is basically unlikely to change much, and the game media are not stupid, these guys have a very sensitive sense of smell for traffic passwords.

Although everyone's match uniform ID is in English, the media still screen one by one to confirm which Chinese players are.

In the end, after statistics, the current top 64 is determined to be a total of 19 Huaxia players, which is only the number of confirmed players, and it is very likely that there are still statistics missing in the remaining 45.

Nearly one-third of the Chinese players entered the main competition, and the players were very excited, and there was a sense of honor and honor.

At 18 o'clock on December 31st, the StarCraft WCS World Championship auditions ended, and the ranking function of the competition uniform was temporarily closed, and that night, the official sent an electronic invitation to the top 64 players, and the invitation was sent directly to their Star account and the email address before the competition.

On January 1, Jun Zilan went home to spend the holiday with her parents, and Gu Feng spent the holiday with her sister.

Before 12 o'clock on January 2nd, it is gratifying that none of the contestants who entered the main competition abstained, and through the personal information filled in by the contestants, Gu Feng knew that there were more than double-digit minors among the 64 people, and the youngest of them was only 15 years old, and he was from a country in Northern Europe.

Originally, he thought that at least half of these underage students would have to retire due to family reasons, but the result was obviously surprising and pleasantly surprised.

Maybe it's the glory of the World Championships that convinces their families, or maybe it's the generous prize money that convinces them, or maybe it's the fact that children abroad are really independent earlier.

Whatever the reason, the result was the best, there were no personnel to fill the position, and the gold content of the first WCS is self-evident.

On January 3 and January 4, the contestants arrived in the imperial capital one after another and stayed in the five-star hotel booked in advance.

Because it is an individual competition, the official only one room is prepared for each person, which is clearly mentioned in the notice of the invitation.

If there are really players who bring a lot of relatives and friends together, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just one room, everyone squeezes into a bed, makes a bunk on the floor, or opens another room, that's all the players themselves need to consider.

After arriving in the imperial capital, players need to sign in to the Chuxin Experience Store as soon as possible.

The world's top interstellar gods gathered in one place, and the Chuxin Experience Store directly attracted a large number of players to squat in the past two days.

Social fear, shoot when you see a foreigner, shoot when you see a handsome guy, shoot when you see a beautiful woman, this is all the material of the circle of friends.

"Social fear" point, when I see a foreigner, I rush up to sign a photo, the kind of Chinese people who carry a bag and obviously don't look like they come to play a game, they are smart, it's like scratching a lottery ticket, the more bets you buy, the higher the probability of winning the lottery.

Assuming 30 people are arrested, doesn't that mean that there is at least a nearly half chance of winning the championship?

When the time comes, the signature and photo in your hand will not be directly out of print, whether it is collected or resold, it is definitely a sure profit.

Therefore, the contestants who came to participate in the competition deeply felt the hospitality of the Chinese people, and the prosperity of the imperial capital and the hospitality of the Chinese people greatly changed their impression of China, and they sneered at the domestic media in their hearts.

DuTM is more blind than their interstellar players, right? Those reports can be written by people with eyes? How do you feel that chicken paws dipped in ink and pulled on paper are more objective than these idiots?

Especially after staying in a five-star hotel, they made up their minds in their hearts to go back and talk to the people around them.

Since the 21st is the Chinese New Year's Eve in China, the schedule is still quite tight, and there is no part of taking makeup photos in the group stage, after all, no one will specifically care about the round of 64, and it is useless to shoot.

The group stage is divided into 3 rounds, and the 64 contestants will be divided into 16 groups by draw.

After the first round of the group round-robin BO3, the top two teams in the group advance to the second round, and the bottom two enter the first round of the lower bracket.

In the second round, the 32 contestants who advanced were redivided into 8 groups, and the top two players were still promoted, with the third place entering the fourth round of the lower bracket and the fourth place entering the third round of the lower bracket.

In the final round, 16 contestants will fight each other, and the winner will directly advance to the round of 16, and the loser will advance to the round of 24.

There are a total of 6 rounds in the lower bracket, and the 32 contestants will be divided into 8 groups by lot.

In the first round, the top two in the group will be determined, and the third or fourth will be eliminated.

In the second round, the first group will randomly select the second group of the other seven groups, and the winner will advance to the next round, and the promotion group will be based on the group leader of the two sides.

In the third round, the second-round finalists will directly face off against the players who have entered the third round of the lower bracket in the group stage, and their group will be based on the group stage in which they are located.

The fourth round is the same as above.

It's known as a double-elimination BO3 format, and everyone has at least two chances before advancing to the round of 24.

When playing a round-robin match, one person will play a maximum of 3 BO3s a day, and a Bo1 play-off will be played if the small score is evenly scored.

Needless to say, if you win, you will be promoted, and if you lose, you will lose early and rest early, and there will be no problem of insufficient rest time when you wait until the defeater group.

There will be no tickets for the group stage and the knockout round, and they will be played completely behind closed doors in the gymnasium, with a total of 8 referee groups, 3 referees in each group, two of which will stay behind a player, and the remaining one referee will be responsible for dealing with emergencies on the spot.

Although there is no live audience, there are still live webcasts, and all officially authorized platforms can choose any one of the simultaneous matches for live broadcast, and there are commentary seats set up for various platforms, including foreign platforms.

Needless to say, the top-ranked players are definitely more popular with the major platforms, and of course, this is certainly not as good as the priority of domestic players.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

This is very understandable, after all, like My Neighbor Totoro TV, you can't always put the game of the Chinese players and not broadcast it, and run to broadcast the game of Kimchi Country vs. Mi Country, right? Isn't this pure and disgusting audience looking for scolding?

The group stage and the lower bracket match only have a post-match interview session between the two sides in the third round of the group stage and the winner of the fourth round of the lower bracket, and the reason is very simple, after all, it is enough to enter the top 24, and the interview and interview are enough, and the audience actually doesn't care about the elimination at this stage.

As for the schedule, except for the first round of the group stage, which takes two days, the rest of the rounds are played in one day, and the reason why the first round of the group stage has to play one more day is purely because the referees are not enough......

If you calculate it, the group stage will be played for a total of 4 days, that is, from the 5th to the 8th.

Take a day off on the 9th.

Continue to play 4 days in the lower bracket, from the 10th to the 13th.

On the 14th, I took makeup photos and recorded some sassy words.

Take a day off on the 15th.

On the 16th, the first round of knockout matches with live spectators began, and the remaining 8 top 16 seats were decided by 16 top 24 players.

Then 16 into 8......

8 into 4 ......

Semifinal......

Finals!

The day of the finals is January 20th, and the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve!

It can only be said that Gu Feng's e-sports Spring Festival Gala carefully prepared for players before the Spring Festival Gala was indeed arranged just right!
