Chapter 1074 NEW FORMAT

1074 NEW FORMAT

LUO YAN browsed Weibo as he and Luo Jin were on their way to school. Winter break was over and now it's the start of the new semester. Students would mostly feel lethargic going to class after a long vacation, but Luo Yan didn't feel any of that. Probably because he had been busy with a lot of things that time just passed by in a blur.

Spending time with family, going on dates with his boyfriend, and fighting in the preliminaries of Arcadia Cup.

Speaking of the Cup, he remembered once again the announcements that Uncle Yi Mu gave last night.

Since Luo Yan already knew from what Shen Ji Yun said earlier that there's a chance the date of the final tournament might be moved, he wasn't that surprised by Uncle Yi Mu's announcement. What did surprise him, though, was the reason behind it.

It's just a month when the other announced that new servers would be open this year. He just didn't expect that it would be this soon. Maybe when Uncle Yi Mu announced about it during the opening ceremony, everything had already been prepared. Because if not, then there's no way those servers would have been ready this fast.

Luo Yan thought that that would be the end of the announcement. He didn't expect that there would be more.

"To show these new players all over the world how magnificent and wonderful the world of Arcadia is, we had decided to change the tournament format," Uncle Yi Mu continued.

A new tournament format? Based on the murmurs floating around, it's clear that Luo Yan was not the only one confused by this.

"In the previous setup, team battles were categorized into three types—tower defense, battle arena, and wargame. However, with the new format, there will be a change. The top 16 round of the tournament will follow the familiar old format. But, as soon as the tournament progresses to the quarter-finals, a change in the format will be implemented.

"The next three rounds, starting from the top 8, will feature themes that have never been explored in previous Arcadia Cups. For the quarter-finals, the theme will be [Amazing Race]. The competing teams will race throughout Arcadia, searching for clues and solving puzzles until they reach the final pit-stop. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Of course, not all the comments were negative. There were those who were excited to watch this new format. Saying that the old setup was already too predictable. Since this would be the last Arcadia Cup, it's better to go out with a bang than to stick with what's comfortable and familiar.

Personally, Luo Yan really didn't have much opinion about it. Whether it's the old format or the new, it wouldn't change what their team had to. And that's to win.

Although the [Amazing Race] and [RPG] could be fun in their own way. Well, it certainly would be interesting.

Seeing that he was browsing Weibo, Luo Jin asked beside him, "Is Arcadia trending because of what happened last night?"

Luo Yan closed his phone and answered, "Yeah. Some people were not too happy about it."

"Hmm, I, for one, approve of this change."

"Why? Do you like the concept of amazing race? Or did you enjoy role playing during the dungeon raid we did last time?" Luo Yan asked curiously, and also with a hint of teasing in his voice.

As expected, Luo Jin's face turned red in embarrassment. The other was probably reminded of that dungeon raid where he had to play the role of a male cross dressing as a female.

"Not that! I'm just glad they moved the schedule," Luo Jin quickly denied. "At least with it being held in the third week of June, you can now focus more on your college entrance exam."

Luo Jin did have a point. Since the college entrance exam was usually held during the first week of June.

Then, as if realizing something, Luo Jin said, "No way. Did that guy ask his uncle to change the schedule for you, so you could have more time to prepare for the college entrance exam?"
