What followed immediately was a random match, and the top seven began to draw lots in turn.
There was nothing to be afraid of in the peak draw; sheer power was enough to crush the opponent. The 12th place draw happened to be another independent team. Only two independent teams made it into the top 16: Blank and the unremarkable xx Academy team.
It was obvious that this was a gathering of die-hard fans from a certain university. Team Blank drew the team ranked 10th. Basically, after the draw, it was a head-to-head showdown between the top eight and the bottom eight.
The previous ranking scores should not be able to tell the level of the results, and the next situation will be the real test.
Since there were not many people watching the game and the game was not a Super League match, the winner of the 1-0 game would be decided in the afternoon.
After the rooms were opened one by one, the referee also went in and waited.
After the draw, there was still some time before the start of the competition, and each team went back to their fan club to check the opponent's information.
At the peak, Fran from the logistics department handed the data to Blood Wolf, and several people gathered around to look at it.
"This college team played quite well. They seem to be in a good position to rank 12th." They are all masters, so they naturally have sharp eyes. Blood Wolf could tell at a glance that some of them were not simple.
"I feel like we can't be careless. The other team's name clearly shows that they're college students. It's not easy for college students to get to this point in the game these days."
A2 was also puzzled after hearing this: "Could it be that they are stronger than those strategy teams?"
A few people glanced at him, and Blood Wolf explained, "Most of the people in the strategy group are there to develop strategies and gather materials, so their thinking is generally limited. After getting used to using special teams, they become somewhat dependent on them. We have university students here too, and they like to experiment with various unpopular operators and explore different systems."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Pao Lao and then at A2.
Blood Wolf’s analysis was spot on. I still remember the scenes of players reaching the top of the contracts several times before. They were so similar.
"So, we picked the most difficult one?" The red scarf was also a little confused.
There are many Chinese people, and they don't think they represent all the top players in Arknights. They know that even the most anonymous genius who occasionally plays can be on par with them. They have a deep understanding of this.
Everyone's attention returned to Blood Wolf. "So what about the next ban? If the opponent is really like this, a six-star ban won't matter."
"There is a way. You have to know that the five players in the competition cannot use the same six-star operators, so we can disable some of the six-star operators that come with their own systems."
"who?"
"Kongxian, Saria, and Nightingale." Blood Wolf counted the data of operators used in the current sixth-floor BOSS decisive battle, and these three were used most frequently.
Needless to say, Kong Xian has a natural talent system. Saria also has a talent for restoring skill power, and her third skill is a crucial part of the mage team.
There is no need to explain the importance of Nightingale. The Birdcage can cheat damage and the Sanctuary can prevent damage, which are both essential cards for fighting BOSS.
"However, the starting teams haven't been decided yet. We'll wait and see."
It's time for Luo Bo to appear on the screen. There is no need to cheat in this team division. In the two-on-two duel, they can disable the operators after they have chosen the team.
All the teams were marked on the big turntable, and the turntable started to spin as the game started.
By now everyone had forgotten that this was just a recreational match, and their expressions were serious, no more relaxed than in a formal competition.
The turntable slowly stopped, skipping over the logistics team and stopping at the spearhead team.
When many teams saw this, their faces turned grim.
Increased attack and life, this is good. But at the beginning of the game, with only a drop of blood, everyone felt the pressure coming. This is not as good as the previous high-level team.
The break is about to end, and all the teams are urgently thinking about how to disable the opposing operators.
But before they could think too much, many teams rushed into the competition room.
After the referee announced the start of the ban, a countdown appeared on each game screen to remind them that there was a time limit.
After seeing the target, Dianfeng decided to ban the operator, and first banned the one with a higher ranking. Dianfeng then banned Kongxian.
The opponent thought for a while and disabled the mountain. It seemed that the opponent was not simple. Peak was also a little nervous when he saw this.
"Let's take a look at the first room, the teams from Peak and xx Academy. Peak sent Kong Xian to the ban position first, which is very good." Brother Han picked out several duels that the audience was most concerned about and clicked on them to explain them in detail.
"The opponent also banned the Peak Operator, Shan, and their Peak second pick is Saria. It seems their goal is clear."
After reading the information from both teams, Brother Long said, "That's right. The spearhead team needs to not miss any monsters at the start, so the pressure is quite high. The peak team chose to disable the decisive battle operator, and the opponent also disabled your self-healing operator."
Sure enough, as soon as Brother Long finished speaking, xx school sent Yinhui to the audience seats.
Then the Nightingale was banned and the opponent also banned the last Thorn.
In this way, the two sides started to fight in different bureaus. Facing the disaster at the beginning will definitely give you a negative collection, and if you are unlucky along the way, the negative impact of adding another one will be very large.
The first group of ten players here had similar starts, starting with Scimitar and Solitary Diamond.
The xx Academy team, with three operators banned, had little impact at the start. However, two of the five players started with Diamond, which significantly reduced their level experience and made them much more conservative in their Operator selection, essentially starting with four or three stars.
It’s okay for others to start with a scimitar, they can grab a six-star one and start.
There are no high platforms banned on the peak side, and the ground is just for the transition of the three-star team. The fight is also very smooth, and there are no stuck places.
"It seems that both teams are very strong. The impact of banning operators is not that big. Let's see the situation of other teams." N∩ switched to other duels to see if there were any teams that were severely restricted.
"Oh? This group doesn't seem to be doing well." Brother Han noticed something strange happening in a certain team at a glance.
In the match between the seventh and thirteenth place, a player from one of the thirteen teams had a thrilling encounter just as the fight started.
At the beginning, I caught a spot and a six-star on the high platform, but I ran into the emergency salute team and almost got blown over.
Fortunately, Spot’s skill was used, otherwise the result of the game could have been announced directly.
"Ah, the six-star upgrade at the beginning is actually not as much as you think. It's also very comfortable to use five-star at the beginning. If he had caught a five-star Lin Guang and a five-star speed sniper or warlock just now, there would actually be no surprise at all." Brother Long couldn't help but hold his forehead as he looked at the team that almost overturned.
The other team is ranked 13th and is a relatively unpopular Scarlet Raiders team. The difference in the levels of the five people can be seen at a glance, so it is not their fault for being negligent or anything.
