At the same time, the opening time and rules for S2\'s "preliminaries" were posted on dream Inc.\'S website.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one ...

When it was close to midnight, there were already a large number of players who stayed in front of their computers and opened forums and web pages, looking forward to first-hand inquiries.

When the midnight bell rang and the related information was announced, the forum welcomed about three minutes of silence ... Then, there was an unprecedented explosion.

Even though they had prepared their own discussion forum, and even though the A.I. Had also participated in the filtering and management of the posts, in the hour after midnight, the forum had still fallen into a state of "explosion".

It was obvious that the players were very excited. Everyone had their own unique views on the detailed rules and wanted to post it as soon as possible.

However, brother Jue did not pay attention to this that night. He just calmly led his friends from underworld frontline to complete two scenarios before going offline to sleep.

Because ... He had already expected the situation on the forum, so he simply chose to ignore it. Anyway, the announcement was on the official website. There was still time to look at it tomorrow. It was not like it would be gone if he was late, so why bother joining in the fun?

Therefore, it was not until the next morning, when Feng bujue returned from his morning exercise and had his breakfast, that he turned on his computer and read the rules.

…………

The tournament for S2 was divided into three stages, the preliminaries, the semi-finals, and the finals. The preliminaries were officially called "gathering of heroes". The format of the competition was a "completely random" team battle. The overall rules were similar to the practice mode, and the four-versus-four battle would be between two five-man teams.

The preliminaries would be based on points, and the period was to finish thirty-six matches within fifty days. The rules for points were similar to that of the Football League, which was: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.

When people saw this, they would definitely ask,"what\'s the situation with" flat "?" Let\'s first explain how the "draw" appeared ...

Generally speaking, there were three situations that could lead to a draw.

First, if the members of two teams "died together" or "died at the same time" in an extremely short time (less than or equal to ten seconds), then no matter what caused this result, and no matter which team member contributed to this result, the game would be regarded as a "draw."

For example, in a game, team a only had one player left, while Team B had three players; At this time, the person from team a rushed into the middle of the three people from Team B and self-destructed. As a result, the four people died one after another in a short time. This result could be regarded as a draw.

However, after the explosion, if a member of one party ... Survived for more than ten seconds after all the members of the enemy team were determined to be "dead", then, whether he was still alive at the eleventh second or not, his team would be considered "victorious".

Secondly, the two teams had stayed in the scenario for a very long time, but neither of them had been able to kill all the enemies. Instead, they had fallen into a \'three step loop\' situation that was similar to the Chinese Chess game, where whoever changed their move first would be at a disadvantage ...

If the above conditions were met, the system would propose a "draw agreement" to the leaders of both teams. If the leaders of both teams agreed, the game would end in a draw. However, if one party disagreed, the opposing party would have to take the initiative to change their moves to break the stalemate. Otherwise, they would be judged as inactive. By the same logic, if both sides did not agree, then both sides would have to "change moves."

Third, although the probability was extremely low, there was still the possibility of a draw ... Such as an atomic bomb. In other words,\'both parties would be wiped out by a third party\'s mass destruction attack\', which would be considered a draw.

But to be honest, it might be even harder than winning to play that game ...

…………

So ... Let\'s stop here about the draw and continue with the competition system.

As a game, if the players were to do something on time every day for a long period of 50 days ... It would undoubtedly cause psychological pressure and a certain degree of disgust. Therefore, dream Inc. Had adopted a similar strategy to the S1 preliminaries, using the rule of "playing N matches within N days" to allow players to allocate their time freely.

In the S2 preliminaries, the "unfinished" team could only play one match in a natural day. Matches that started before midnight and continued to the next day would be regarded as matches played "the day before."

As for the teams that had already finished thirty-six matches, the above rule would no longer apply. These teams could fight as many battles as they wanted in a day, but they would not get any points no matter if they won or lost. However, if they won, they would get the same reward as the team mode on nightmare difficulty.

Dream Inc. Had added this setting to prevent teams from being unable to finish the competition due to\' not being able to find their opponents \'before the end of the preliminaries. For example ... Some teams still had one match left on the last night, and there were not many teams like them left in the queuing system. To prevent this from happening, dream Inc. Would use the reward system to encourage those teams that had "finished" to stay in the queue and act as opponents for those teams that had "not finished".

For the former, this was a sure win. If he won, he would get a generous reward and not only would he be able to prevent a team that might pose a threat to him in the future from getting any points, but he would also win. If they lost ... They would just lose some game time, so they could just treat it as a practice match.

For the latter, it didn\'t matter if the team they met was the finishing team or not. They had to fight for victory, so there was no difference.

Of course ... Even so, it was inevitable that some teams would not be able to finish the competition within 50 days for various reasons. Regarding this, dream Inc. Had already come up with countermeasures. After the 50-day cycle, they would choose a time to give the teams that had already played all 35 matches a chance and put them together for an additional round. "If the number of these teams is odd, then send a GM team to make up the numbers. (Later on, the actual situation was even, so the GM team did not appear.)

However, if you can\'t even get to 35 matches in 50 days, then I\'m sorry. It seems that your team lacks the ability to finish the competition, so you can\'t blame anyone else for not being able to enter the semi-finals.

…………

Next, let\'s talk about the ranking of the competition.

After all the preliminaries had ended, the system would pick out the 256 teams with the highest points from the "completed teams" to enter the semi-finals.

If the points were the same, the system would look at the "small points", which meant who had more "wins". If the number of wins was the same, the death count difference between the opponent and the team would be calculated in the thirty-six effective matches. And if even this number was the same ... The system would calculate the percentage of Life Points lost for each location.

In short, the rankings must be reasonable. To avoid being eliminated with the same points, the way was to play every match seriously and do every detail well. Who knows, when all these details add up ... Your team might be able to squeeze out the others and advance.

…………

Next, it was time to look at the prizes.

A total of 256 teams had passed the preliminaries, but only the top 100 teams could get the prizes.

As for the contents of the prizes, they were already mentioned in the previous article.

Every member of the top 100 teams will receive 1000000 game coins and a limited-edition T-shirt.

Every member of the top 50 teams would receive two pieces of random excellent-grade equipment corresponding to their level, as well as a 48-hour limited time experience of the new version of Thriller Paradise, Ragnarok.

The first ten members of Youyou\'s party who have not reached the maximum level will be immediately upgraded to the maximum level, and each member will receive a piece of perfect-grade equipment.

It was worth mentioning that the announcement on August 30th specifically pointed out that ... The prizes of this preliminary could be "stacked."

In other words, the top 50 teams could also get a prize from the "top 100" category in addition to their own. The top ten teams would get all the rewards listed above.

Such an arrangement ... Would undoubtedly push the competition to an even more intense level, and this ... Was exactly what dream Inc. Wanted to see.

The game company hoped that players would give their all in every match. Even the teams that queued after the match would try their best to suppress the points of the teams that had yet to finish.

…………

The last thing I have to say ... Is the time for the match.

According to the news announced on August 30th, the "gathering of heroes" matching system would be opened at midnight on September 5th and closed on October 25th. During this period of 50 natural days, players could join the queue at any time.

Of course, in the first thirty-six days, all the teams could only queue up for one match a day. If he wanted to play two matches in a row, he could consider playing near midnight. That way, he would be able to play until the next day after the first match.

…………

All in all, these rules were reasonable, and they were all within Feng bujue\'s expectations.

In the short term, there was not much to plan. According to brother Jue\'s estimation, as long as they followed the pace of the practice mode, they would definitely make it to the semi-finals.

As for the rules of the semi-final, dream Inc. Had yet to announce it. However, from the number of teams that had advanced from the preliminaries, it was not hard to guess that the semi-final would be based on an Elimination System.

Feng bujue speculated that ... If he was not mistaken, the semi-final would be round four (to determine the top sixteen) to round five (to determine the top eight). There was also the possibility of three rounds, but thirty-two teams entering the finals seemed a little too many.

How far Hell\'s frontline could go in S2 would depend on the semi-final. This was also the main stage where Feng bujue could show off his analysis and planning skills.

Under the point-based competition system, the teams that could survive to the semi-finals were by no means ordinary, so the possibility of strong teams meeting was extremely high. If the semi-final was a one-round Elimination System, then these rounds of competition ... Might be more dangerous and difficult than the final ... "
