Chapter 425: The First Battle
Since the two official tournaments were held, the appetite of players has been fed by these two rather exciting events.
Whether it is the thrilling battle royale of 100,000 people, or the several earth-shattering reversals of the five hegemons. All of them have satisfied the eyes of those who eat melons.
But the more this happens, the higher the expectations of players for this kind of exciting event.
It's like the World Cup, no event is as hot as the World Cup, but the quadrennial event process doesn't know how many fanatics are scratching their hearts and lungs.
Countless people have been waiting for this day for months. It's not hard to imagine how hot the scene is.
Unlike the previous two times, this time the competition officially launched a special spectator seat.
Of course, there are many discerning people who can see that this is the official money, but they can't stand the big demand.
This group of clear-eyed people is shouting for money, while anxiously looking for a purchase channel.
Regarding the auditorium, the official directly opened the space management.
Because it was an audition, there were too many gangs to sign up. It is impossible to compete one by one, so the official arrangement is that all guilds will be randomly matched by lottery.
No matter how many people sign up, the top 16 in the city will be decided within three days.
Although this kind of audition is uneven, the audience chooses to watch it as if it were gambling, and it is possible to see a strong team battle, or it may be lonely.
But none of this has dampened the enthusiasm of the players.
Of course, players can also buy tickets for the specific participating teams, but the opponents matched by the two sides are also random, and if the strength of the match is very different, it is not interesting.
The four places exempted from Lingyun City are Heavenly Blade, Yuefeng Building, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Flying Sword Villa.
There was no reason why the Celestial Blade was exempt, as no team wanted to run into them.
And Yuefeng Lou was able to qualify because of the fierce reputation of the Seven Swords. They may not be very strong in heads-up, but they are almost undefeated in group battles. Both guilds are well-known.
As for the remaining two guilds, there are no very famous figures, but the fact that these two guilds can develop into fourth-level guilds in the main city is enough to explain some problems. And it is said that there are some mysterious masters stationed within its guild.
Some of those who voted for exemption were guilds that knew the inside story, and more of them didn't know who to vote for anyway, so it depended on who voted more and followed.
After removing these four guilds, the guilds that Lingyun City participated in signing up for now approached five thousand, which was much more than they had analyzed before.
Luo Yang clicked on the data table of the actual registration, and found that many second-level guilds also participated in the registration, so it was no wonder. Only then did he remember that his guild was now also level two.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited audition of the competition finally officially began.
According to the competition process, more than 4,000 teams will be selected for the top 24 in the first two days, and on the third day, 12 consecutive games will be played to determine the top 12, plus four exemptions, to form the top 16 in the main city.
Fourth, five days, the top 16 of each main city are drawn to determine the main city to face off, and the real top 16 are selected.
The semi-finals will be decided on the sixth day, and the long-awaited championship battle will be on the seventh day.
There is no such thing as a repechage in this kind of audition system, because it is already a big project to compete for the top 24.
If there is an overflow of the competition team when the top 24 is decided, a simple and rough bye will be played, and if you are unlucky, you will directly add a round. Anyway, it's all about efficiency.
In this case, all the teams had no way out, so much so that Luo Yang thought about it for a long time and still didn't dare to let the backup players play.
No one dares to guarantee that they will not encounter a strong team in the first round.
The lottery was decided by Xu Yinling, and it was obvious that she had decided on this pot.
Everyone watched as she pulled out a small black ball from the blind box.
A number slowly appeared on the black ball, and then the guild information represented by the number was also displayed.
"White Mist Gate?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief because none of them knew each other.
There was only five minutes to prepare after the draw, and everyone was waiting for Luo Yang to formulate tactics,
"Two sets of tactics, the little sister will take the lead, if it is easy to pinch, everyone should try not to expose the hole cards. If it's not easy to pinch, cut through the mess quickly. However, among those of us, the only people who don't have any data in the eyes of outsiders are the river raccoon and the little whirlwind. So the two of you don't have to expose too many hole cards until you have to, at least until the top twenty-four, the river fox can't expose the strength of dual control. ”
He Xiaoxi just wanted to nod, but suddenly his face changed and said, "We had a fight in the Shadow Alliance before. The bartender was very capable, and I was forced out of the dual control operation by him. ”
Luo Yang was startled when he heard this, and then glared at the little squirrel fiercely. Only then did he say: "It's not a big problem, ordinary people shouldn't know that it's the bottom of the Great Wilderness Building, you can bring black yarn." ”
After arranging the tactics very simply, everyone waited silently in the countdown of the system, and as soon as the time came, everyone was forcibly teleported into a special space by the system.
Luo Yang originally thought that the competition venue would be a barrier-free ring with a large space, but it turned out that it was indeed the same as the illusion copy, and everyone was in the same valley.
What is different is that the valley has corrugated walls at a height of about 1,000 square meters. Everyone is clearly visible, which is the boundary of the ring.
The participants on both sides are located on both sides of this octagonal cage-like field, and there is also a special ripple in the middle of the field, separating the people and horses of both sides. A striking countdown is slowly moving along.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
After Luo Yang reacted, he immediately shouted: "BUFF!" ”
Goshawk Guardian increases evasion, Soul Possession increases Defense, Celestial Array increases regeneration, and Greycup Guardian increases Spell Resistance.
Luo Yang's team just covers eight classes, so these four group buffs can be fully enjoyed. As for the other buffs, they only have a single-player effect, so I won't repeat them.
After entering the official match, no matter what kind of buff the player carried before, it will be automatically cleared, so this 10-second countdown is a valuable preparation time for both sides.
Luo Yang started to observe the situation on the opposite side after finishing the BUFF, and he soon found that the opposite side of the four group buffs was also being used one by one, which showed that the opponent's lineup was also relatively comprehensive.
"Swimming, stabbing, healing, meching, fighting, witching. Double Method! On the opposite side is a violent output lineup. Be careful not to get set on fire. Watch out for their assassins! ”
Luo Yang quickly reported the information on the opposite side in the team, which was a plan that had been made before the game.
Luo Yang alone observes the opposite side and gives information. This allows others to concentrate on carrying out the battle plan.
When the countdown is over, the special corrugated wall in the center of the ring disappears in an instant, which means that the match has officially begun.
