Chapter 35: The Qualifying Round
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The first round of the knockout round ended and the second round began.
Six teams from Kasage University went on stage. Only Edward’s team was not on stage.
It was not known whether it was specially arranged or not. The teams that went on stage this time were all stronger than the previous round.
Therefore, this round of the competition was more passionate.
The battle was also more intense.
It caused waves of cheers from the audience.
They wanted nothing more than to go on stage and play a match.
Even the audience watching the broadcast was the same.
The results of each round could resonate with them.
Some of the older people were already obsessed with watching it.
It was as if they were immersed in memories.
They were recalling the time when they played competitive games, thinking of their former teammates.
Now, they were not watching the game, but their feelings, and their dreams.
At this moment, their dreams seemed to have come true.
Lex watched the game in her office, feeling very gratified.
It was not bad for her dream of playing esports to come true in this world.
After the second round of the game ended, the teams that had advanced cheered.
At this moment, they felt the charm of esports.
Although they were happy playing games, they were not as excited as they were now.
This was the difference between playing games and esports.
The third round of teams went on stage.
When these teams entered their game accounts, the entire audience was in an uproar.
This was because each team could see one or two gods.
These experts all had their own fans. Although there weren’t many, it was enough for them to be excited.
Game gods weren’t like celebrities who could see their faces on the internet.
Fans could only see their operating skills, but they hadn’t seen their real faces.
Among the many teams, the most shocking one was Edward’s team.
Three of Edward’s teams were very strong gods.
Thousands of people cheered for them.
It was indeed a bit excessive for a team to have three gods.
Therefore, the entire third round of the match was broadcasted by Edward’s team.
It could be said to be exceptionally eye-catching.
This third round was full of experts, but it was the shortest round.
Especially Edward’s team, which used tactics, ended even faster.
Their opponents were baffled by the tacit cooperation between them.
Before they knew the reason, they had already lost.
Without a doubt, Edward’s team advanced.
All seven teams from Kasage University advanced.
But it was only the beginning.
Because there were 160 teams that advanced.
The game ended at noon.
There was a one-hour break, and the game continued in the afternoon.
However, no one in the audience left.
They didn’t even have lunch.
They waited until the match began in the afternoon.
Two rounds of matches were held in the afternoon. One hundred and six advanced to eighty, and the other eighty advanced to forty.
In the end, forty strong teams were left behind.
However, there was one regretful thing. One team from Kasage University was eliminated.
The system matched them with a very strong team, so they could only regret their defeat.
The first day of the competition ended.
Everyone left Kasage University satisfied.
The competition brought them passion and made them feel the joy of competition.
It was not about winning or losing, but just enjoying the process of competition.
Lex was very satisfied with the first day of the competition.
The reason why he let go was to give Edward and the others some experience.
Kasage University did not have a teacher, so it was more necessary for the students to be independent.
Such things would definitely not happen less in Kasage University.
It was beneficial to let the students experience more.
Even if they went out of society in the future, it was also a valuable experience.
He did not misjudge the person, and Edward did not disappoint him.
Even in the face of tens of thousands of people, nothing happened.
One had to know that there were many reporters present in such a scene.
As long as there was a little accident, the competition would be over.
The students could help each other and know how to make use of their own expertise.
It also made Lex feel gratified.
The first day ended successfully. Lex looked forward to the results of the next day even more.
Because he had a bigger plan.
A plan to completely make esports rise.
In fact, this was also the reason why he was in a hurry to select a strong team.
A discerning person could tell at a glance that this competition seemed to be in a hurry.
This was one of the reasons why Lex was in such a hurry.
He just wanted to carry out his plan as soon as possible.
The next day!
It was still overcrowded.
Not only did the audience not decrease, but it also increased.
But even if the audience increased, it could not change the venue.
The extra audience could only stand.
Soon, the game began.
Twenty teams entered the field.
The most attention-grabbing team was still Edward’s team.
Today, Edward changed a new way of playing.
It was completely different from the tactics he used yesterday.
However, the similarity was that it was unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
If one were to savor it carefully, one would be able to learn a lot from their tactics.
This was a tactic that had been researched by the three gods for a long time, and it contained a lot of techniques.
If one learned a move, one would be able to step into the ranks of experts.
However, it was not so easy to learn it.
Even if one discovered it, without sufficient awareness and hand speed, one would not be able to use it.
The competition quickly ended and 20 winning teams appeared.
Among them, there were five teams from Kasage University.
The other teams from Kasage University might not be as strong as those gods.
However, they had the tactics developed by the three gods.
Using these tactics, they successfully defeated some gods and advanced.
The game continued.
The remaining teams were fewer and fewer, but the game was getting better and better.
Because every battle now could be called a textbook battle.
