MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1822 1822: Unrelenting Promotion

To be fair, they are all top-tier experts, and June Snow is not significantly weaker than the others. Since Wang Yu was able to casually kill June Snow, it would be a piece of cake for him to use the same method to defeat the others.

In terms of skills and operations, as top experts, they all have absolute confidence in themselves, believing they have reached the limits of what is possible in the game.

At this moment, discovering that there exists a level even higher than the limit, one can imagine the emotions of these top experts.

"Hehe, I told you so." Boundless Ocean said with a slight shake of his head. "The Crowd of Misfits Team is not so easy to defeat. This Iron Bull, I've gotten to know him a bit; two or three experts at our level are certainly no match for him."

...

The victory of the Crowd of Misfits Team allowed everyone to see that the Quan Zhen Sect members were not just adept at scheming. Even a top team like BRT began to take this opponent, whom they had previously considered mere cheerleaders, seriously.

After the first round of matches ended, there was a brief intermission, and then the BRT team faced off against the Second-Tier Elite.

As an old-school team renowned alongside the Kyushu team, BRT's strength was beyond doubt.

While the individual skills honed in a single-player game like Second-Tier Elite were certainly not weak, their team tactical coordination was nowhere near that of professional-level experts.

These guys had a one-track mind: tanks charge, DPS fire, then tanks charge again, exuding a serious and rigid demeanor typical of Japanese players.

On the battlefield, such a rigid playstyle was naturally no match for the agile and versatile players of the BTR team.

Compared to the boring and time-consuming matches of the Crowd of Misfits Team, the pace of the second round was much faster and significantly more exciting.

The first match lasted ten minutes over five games, the second match took thirty minutes, and in the third match, in less than five minutes, the Second-Tier Elite was completely shattered. The BTR team secured their qualification with an astonishing record of three straight wins in under an hour.

The members of the Quan Zhen Sect were left dumbfounded.

"Wow, these guys are indeed impressive, they just steamrolled through!" The young Vainglory, having never seen much of the world, was overwhelmed by the prowess of the top experts and couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course!" Boson shot Vainglory a glance. "These are world-class top experts; their strength is guaranteed to be strong."

"Actually, the weakness of the opponent is also key", Fearless added with a smile. "Of course, these guys are indeed much stronger than we imagined."

"After all, they are professional experts... Even if we were to pursue this as a profession, the highest level we could reach would probably be about this. Our interest is even less than theirs", Spring Halo said seriously.

In fact, it cannot entirely be blamed on the author for deliberately downplaying the strength of the Quan Zhen Sect's experts.

The main reason is that the current opponents are too formidable.

The members of the Quan Zhen Sect are undoubtedly experts among ordinary people, but against professional experts, they hold no advantage whatsoever. Now they are up against top-tier professionals; the gap is akin to how the Quan Zhen Sect members view the so-called "elites" of the Sanguine Alliance—completely different levels.

After all, the Quan Zhen Sect members are amateur players; everyone has their own primary jobs, and gaming is merely a social platform for them to pass the time and earn a bit of pocket money.

In contrast, professional experts make a living from this. They have strong support teams, and their daily rigorous training hones their skills.

If the members of the Quan Zhen Sect could surpass the top professionals just by playing casually, then the standards of the professional league would be too low; who would take eSports seriously as a profession in the future?

As the saying goes, don't challenge someone's livelihood with your hobby; you should know that to become a professional expert, one's talent is certainly higher than that of the Quan Zhen Sect members.

And don't even mention how Wang Yu and the prodigious Xuanyuan are stronger than professional-level experts; their abilities primarily stem from their martial arts skills.

Both have been practicing martial arts since childhood, training continuously for decades, with a level of professionalism and intensity that surpasses even professional teams.

Thus, it is only logical that Wang Yu and the others are stronger than professional experts.

If professional gamers could reach Wang Yu's level after just a few years of special training, then the martial arts world would indeed be in decline.

The third round of matches featured the Kyushu team against the Nation's Grief.

The outcome was also quite evident.

The Kyushu team and BTR are old rivals and fierce competitors on the professional stage.

Even in this preliminary round, they were determined to prove themselves; BTR took over forty minutes to defeat their opponent, so the Kyushu team was naturally unwilling to accept that. After three matches, they not only won decisively but did so even a few minutes faster than the BTR team.

Over the course of three rounds, the matches lasted a total of over five hours. The first three hours saw the Crowd of Misfits Team wear down everyone's patience, while the last two hours were filled with rapid conclusions that pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

After three rounds, the audience's viewing experience was quite strange.

It felt as if a tv series that had been building up for dozens of episodes had suddenly reached its climax without any plot development—leaving people wanting more.

...

The qualifiers for the three rounds of matches had been determined, and next were the award presentations and the host's closing remarks.

By the time the Quan Zhen Sect members walked out of the venue, it was already past four in the afternoon. The match data for the three teams that qualified was transmitted to the inboxes of the captains of various teams simultaneously.

Although the matches had concluded, the Quan Zhen Sect members still had to stay there.

This is because the venue for the S-level professional league finals is the Kyoto Sports Stadium, where the American regional elimination matches will be held the day after tomorrow, and the European regional elimination matches will take place the day after that.

After the elimination matches, the nine qualifying teams will also hold their final showdown here.

Thus, during this time after the matches, Wang Yu and the others had to remain there waiting.

All the members of the Quan Zhen Sect, without exception, were homebodies at heart; even if it was a sponsored trip abroad, for these introverted individuals, it was merely a change of location for gaming.

Once they returned to the hotel, after resting for a moment and having a meal, the first thing they did was put on their gaming helmets and enter <<Rebirth>>.

At this moment, <<Rebirth>> was bustling with activity.

To celebrate the qualification of both teams from the national server, the game company had specifically hung banners in all the major cities.

As the hometown of one of the qualifying teams, Twilight City was given special attention by the designers, with posters of the Crowd of Misfits Team all over the city walls.

Because of this, Twilight City was even livelier than usual.

As soon as they entered the game, Wang Yu and the others were taken aback by the extravagant scene.

This Soaring Dragon company truly knows how to market; after purchasing the endorsement rights for the Crowd of Misfits Team, they promoted it with relentless effort. Such grand publicity clearly aimed to maximize the promotional value of Wang Yu and his team.
