3rd month, 27th day, morning.
As the dust settled on the fourth round of the competition, the battle reports from various parties were also released.
The battle between Warring States and loser Alliance was the focus of all the reports. As for the other seeded teams, they didn't receive much attention because they had advanced without any mishaps.
Of course, just like the previous rounds, at midnight the next day, when the new matching list was announced, everyone's attention was focused on the new list.
............
In the fifth round of the tournament, there were a total of 1670 teams participating. This was the first time since the start of the competition that the number of participating teams had reached an even number. In other words ... This round, there were no teams that could pass. All the teams had to rely on their victories to advance.
However, there was no "focal battle" in this round. The situation of the two powerhouses meeting did not occur.
In fact ... Starting from this round, for five whole rounds, there had been no collision between strong teams, and no unexpected situations had occurred.
The five-wheeled motorcycle became a Carnival for the casual players.
Apart from those teams that were unlucky enough to meet the seeded teams, the battles between the various folk gods could be said to be wonderful. Different from the victories and losses between the top teams, the matches between normal players had a different flavor ... For example,"low-level mistakes,""cooperation mistakes,""going with the wind and becoming the wind,""strange tactics,""strange formation,""strange tactics meeting strange tactics,""strange formation meeting strange tactics,""low-level mutual conflict turning into high-level seesaw," and a series of situations that almost couldn't be seen in professional matches were endless in the matches between casual players.
If the "strong showdown" between the seeded teams was the NBA Finals, then this "unknown bottom line" and "any strange situation could happen" was roughly the "mysterious showdown" you would see on a free street basketball court on a weekend. On the stage of the finals, all the players you saw were professional athletes, but on the street basketball court, you could meet anyone. For example, excuse bro, apology bro, embarrassing chat bro, camouflaging bro, fake cousin, player-coach bro, foul-calling bro, pass-by-not-pass bro, tall but only three-pointer bro, mysterious old man who thought he could slam dunking but couldn 't, and so on ... There would always be one type that you met, or it would be you.
That's a little off topic ...
In short, it was also fun to watch such a game.
............
In the end, the players were greeted with a 'discount on demand' as if the game company was saying to the players in a perfunctory tone,"There's nothing to celebrate on such a day, but since you still remember, I'll give you a discount."
The meaning was unclear ...
............
At midnight on the 8th of April, the tenth round of the competition started on time.
Perhaps it was because no strong teams had met in the first five rounds, or perhaps it was because the number of teams was really low.
In any case, due to some probability-based reasons that I don't know much about and can't be bothered to go into detail ... In this tenth round,"strong-to-strong duels" popped up like a well-blowout.
First of all, loser Alliance was up against frost monarch. Indeed, frost monarch's gigolo band, led by Atobe-sama, was now a rising first-tier studio. This time, they had easily eliminated three teams from second-tier Studios on their way to the top. From the actual performance, the frost monarch's combat strength couldn't be underestimated.
Next was the battle between order and constellation.
After losing brony, although constellation had lost a large part of their combat power, they were still a studio with the purpose of "cultivating star players for sale". It was difficult to gather seven first-class experts, but it was definitely possible to gather seven newcomers with first-class potential ... In addition to the luck factor in this competition, it was not surprising that they could make it to this round.
It was just that ... Their luck had probably come to an end for them to encounter order this round.
Then, there was the battle between world of martial arts and wind and cloud. As a first-tier studio that I've never mentioned in my previous articles, but it does exist, Feng Yun's appearance is destined to be short. For the readers, it was clear who would win this match ... But for the audience in the novel, it was still a very interesting match.
As for the other Studios like wind and cloud, even though a few of them encountered each other in this round, unfortunately ... They don't have much interaction with the main characters in this book, so I don't need to list their names one by one.
Now, let's talk about [Hell's frontline]...
This round, brother Jue's opponent was mountain river. In terms of overall strength, Hell's frontline had a clear advantage ... But the other party was a veteran first-tier team, after all. They were not the kind of team that could be easily swept away with a random lineup, so they had to be careful.
Furthermore, autumn zither and matcha su were also candidates. This was a direct battle between candidates.
In the end ... In this round that was filled with all kinds of interesting points and ridicules, there was one thing worth mentioning. The [Gate of Heaven] round ended up empty.
