[Black Star Corps Badge — Evolution] was a godly item for missions and dungeons. Other than this item, there were some items that were banned in the various Star Fields, not just the Black Star Corps.
"The qualifiers are about to end, and the Pro League is about to start."
Han Xiao rubbed his fingers, opened the forums again, and browsed through the information on the qualifiers.
All players could sign up for the preliminaries. After three versions of operations and publicity, there were countless players participating in the third version. In the end, there were 40 team slots and 64 individual slots in each division. The elimination rate was shockingly high, and the competition was extremely fierce.
As the saying went, every version was a god. With the compressed orb technology, the Mechanic class rose in the third Pro League, just like in Han Xiao's previous life, and their average results in the Singles and Teams increased significantly.
This was especially so for the Singles. Originally, the Mechanic class was weaker in the Singles, but now, they shone brightly in the qualifiers and became a T1 class.
The strength of the Mechanic class was indeed strong, but its weakness was that it burned too much money. The players finally encountered this painful but happy problem.
Looking at all the divisions, the strongest division for the Mechanic class was the Shattered Star Ring division, and it had already become the specialty of this place. The Black Star Corps was indeed one of the best factions for the Mechanic class players.
Due to the rise of the Mechanic class, there were many dark horses in the qualifiers this time.
However, Maple Moon was not one of them. In Han Xiao's previous life, she had only participated for the first time in the third Pro League and shocked the world. This time, she had participated in the previous Pro League and obtained thirty-eighth place in the Singles. Her development path was completely different.
Because she had a good relationship with Frenzied Sword, the Rivervale Club had extended an olive branch to her early on and signed her before the start of the qualifiers. Hence, Maple Moon was no longer an independent player but a member of the Rivervale team. Her identity was already a professional player.
Be it her attributes, equipment, or personal skills, Maple Moon was a level higher than in Han Xiao's previous life. She firmly occupied one of the top sixty-four spots in the Singles and obtained the qualification to advance.
It was worth mentioning that the Russian and Australian clubs in the Shattered Star Ring had sent some of their core players to participate in the qualifiers to snipe the Chinese teams with potential. Their goal was to eliminate as many strong teams as possible.
Sniping in the competition was not considered as using underhanded methods. This method of attacking the competitors was understandable, but after it was exposed, it still caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Chinese players.
Your pro players stayed in their own area to play, but you sent some sh * t stirrers to our area to cause trouble? To think that it was a big name overseas club, it was really a younger brother!
The teams sent by the Russian and Australian teams were boycotted and targeted by the Chinese players. Because they weren't professional teams, they weren't too strong. These snipers were eliminated in the middle of the qualifiers.
Now that the contestants of the qualifiers were clear, the official competition was the stage for these people. Thus, a large number of players were excitedly analyzing the performance of these contestants in the qualifiers, posting all kinds of analysis posts. Now, the forums were basically flooded with such posts.
Han Xiao also watched with great interest. Not too long ago in his previous life, he had also received such treatment.
After scrolling through the forum for a while, a new post suddenly popped up on the board. It was instantly pinned to the top and attracted Han Xiao's attention.
He took a look. This was the new episode of Galaxy Times, the final promotion for the official opening of the Pro League. It lasted for a long time, and all the players who were scheduled to advance were invited, as well as the professional teams of the various clubs.
This Galaxy Times, Han Technician read it every single time, so he immediately clicked on it.
"Hello players," the male host said. "This is Galaxy Times, dedicated to sharing first-hand game information and protecting your gaming career."
"The qualifiers are about to end," the female host said. "The countdown to the official Pro League has begun. Today, we are honored to invite the pro players of the various clubs in the Shattered Star Ring division and the players who advanced in the qualifiers for an interview. Please give us a round of applause."
Clap clap clap … (Applause and cheers added later)
Everyone went online, showed their faces, and introduced themselves under the guidance of the host.
"Welcome to Galaxy Times," the female host said. "On behalf of all the players, I would like to congratulate all of you on obtaining a spot in the Regular Season. We have many new faces this time, and some say that this qualifier belongs to the dark horses. Let me first interview the players who made it into the Regular Season for the first time. What are your thoughts on entering the highly anticipated Regular Season for the first time?"
The host interviewed the rookies, and many of them were familiar faces. In his previous life, quite a number of these rookies who rose in the third Pro League had joined the professional teams. After some of the older players retired, this batch of rookies gradually became important or even main members of the teams. Their status was equivalent to Li Ge and Hao Tian. Looking at how young these rookies were now, Han Xiao felt that it was quite refreshing.
After interviewing the rookies, it was the professional teams' turn. The last team to be interviewed was the highlight, the three teams that made it into the top eight in the previous Pro League — Long Sky, Dynasty, and Rivervale.
"Hao Tian, King Admiral, and Mad Blade, the three captains, you obtained excellent international rankings in the previous Pro League. Now that the third Pro League is about to begin, do you feel pressured?"
Mad Blade nodded. "There will definitely be pressure. The better the results, the more eyes will be on us. Even the slightest mistake will be magnified infinitely. However, it's more motivation. We have a rookie with great potential like Maple Moon, and our team is also working very well together. We are very confident in this Pro League, and we hope to become stronger and achieve glory again."
"Alright, we also wish Rivervale a better result. What about Long Sky and Dynasty? You guys are the champion and runner-up of the previous Pro League, respectively. Do you have any goals in this Pro League? What do you hope to achieve? "
"We only have one goal," Hao Tian said with a deep voice, "and that is to defend the championship. Other than that, any other result will be a step back."
King Admiral smiled. "Unfortunately, our only goal is to win the championship."
"It seems like both captains are very confident and want to bring back the Pro League trophy for China," the female host said to ease the tension between the two.
The host continued the interview, and the rest of the topics were about preparation. In the end, they emphasized the start time of the Pro League and concluded with a final wave of publicity.
Han Xiao finished watching the show and glanced at the players' replies. Most of them were very optimistic.
Lickin 'To The End: "We took three spots in the previous Pro League. If not for Dynasty fighting two rounds of internal battles, we might have even been the runner-up!"
Twin Lotus Flowers: "What do you mean by a strong international team?"
A Cart of Bread: "Our chances of defending the championship are very high. The rise of the Mechanic class in this version is due to the Black Star Corps. The Mechanic class in our division is the strongest, and this is our advantage. Our overall ranking will definitely be better."
Since there were optimistic families, there were naturally those who disagreed. No matter how few people there were, their presence could not be hidden.
Rewind: "Can you stop bragging? You got arrogant just because you got lucky and won the Pro League. Hehe, I don't think we will even make it to the Pro League this time."
Father of Tutu: "I really hate praising these pro players so highly. I don't know what's so great about them."
Hanzo: "You should be happy just because you won the championship. Still fantasizing about defending the championship. I'm speechless."
Han Xiao glanced through these comments and could not help but give them a thumbs up.
When it came to attracting hatred, these people were still the best.
After a long period of publicity, the third season of the Pro League was unprecedentedly popular. As the day of the Pro League approached, the players on the forums became more and more active.
A few days later, the opening ceremony arrived, and the excitement that the players had been accumulating for a long time finally exploded!
The opening match of the Shattered Star Ring division was between Long Sky and Dynasty. The commentator invited the extremely popular Pork Bun.
Before the match officially started, the number of viewers in the livestream had already skyrocketed. Han Xiao, who was holed up in the headquarters, also opened the forums to watch the opening match.
