While Han Xiao told Lothaire to act in secret, the Division Finals were held as scheduled.
After a series of intense battles, the top eight of the Shattered Star Ring Division were determined. Dynasty had won the Division Championship for the third time in a row. Among the four biggest guilds, Dynasty had always been ranked first. They were extremely strong in both internal and external battles, and they had no obvious weaknesses.
Meanwhile, the runner-up for the regional competition was Temple of God. Although Temple of God's fans were quite satisfied, the passersby could not help but beat their chests and stomp their feet. The image of Temple of God as a weakling was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If Temple of God entered the international competition, wouldn't that mean that China would have one less team in the international competition?
The runner-up was Long Sky. While their performance in the Division Championship was not good, at least they had entered the International Competition and had a chance to show their strength. The fourth was Rivervale. Mad Blade, Evil Sword, and Maple Moon were the core of the team, and their competitiveness was no less than that of the top teams.
With the top four of the Division Championship determined, these four teams could enter the International Competition.
Among the four biggest guilds, Fried Eggplants with Fish missed the spot in the International Competition once again.
It was rumored that the boss of the Fried Eggplants with Fish felt that the name was not good and wanted to change the name of the team. He asked for suggestions on social media, and the crazy netizens all gave suggestions. They all said things like spicy chicken and boiled fish, and spicy pork and duck blood in spicy pot.
Not to mention the fans of Fried Eggplants with Fish, most of the players were cheering for the team that would represent China to enter the top four of the Division Championship. This version had a lot of advantages. The rise of the Mechanic class, the huge events in the Shattered Star Ring greatly increased the benefits of the Black Star Corps, the Chinese team had a lot of confidence after winning the championship in the previous Division Championship, and the god-level players in the club were also at their peak. Therefore, the majority of the players had high hopes for the Chinese team, looking forward to seeing them shine on the international stage and achieve better results.
In the Singles, Maple Moon entered the top eight. This time, there were four Mechanics in the top eight of the Division Championship, taking up half of the spots. The Mechanic class had changed from the previous two versions.
The other eight competition zones had also been decided. The dominance of each country's strong teams was as usual, and the majority of them were regulars of the international competition. For example, America's Devil, Key, and Thunder Python; France's Tulip and Grapes; England's Rose Knight; Japan's Yamata and Ronin; Korea's Kimchi and Three Star Bomb; Sweden's Tomahawk and Poland's Wings; Russia's White Emperor Sacred Sword; and Australia's Kangaroo Boxing. Many of them were familiar faces from the previous international competition.
The names of the teams in the Division Championship this time made the Chinese players excited. Almost all of the strongest foreign teams were drawn into Group A, forming a devil group. On the Chinese side, only Temple of God was selected. Because the Regular Season was based on points, if there were too many strong teams in the same group, it would not be beneficial to widen the difference in points. This meant that many strong foreign teams with the ability to enter the Division Championship might not be able to enter the Division Championship.
Long Sky and Dynasty were both in Group B. This group was average, and only Hydra from Japan, Rose Knight from England, and Tomahawk from Sweden were competitive. These two top Chinese teams were the favorites to win the championship, and the chances of them entering the Division Championship at the same time were very high.
Rivervale was in Group C. This group was the weakest, and the competition was far less intense than Group A and Group B.
The situation of the random groups this time was completely different from the previous Division Championship. However, this grouping was more beneficial to China than the previous Division Championship, and it was very likely that three teams would enter the top eight of the Division Championship again.
The Chinese players could not help but be overjoyed. They were just short of setting off firecrackers in the Shattered Star Ring to celebrate.
As for the unlucky Temple of God, the Chinese players were not affected at all and even laughed out loud.
You from Henan sacrificed a Temple of God and obtained three spots in the top eight.
Li Ge removed the weakest team and raised the average strength of China. Hilarious.
TOEFL Under the Moon. This is Tianji's Horse Race Shock!
Senior Member of the Office of Strategic Deception, haha. God bless China, this Division Championship is in the bag.
Amidst the joyous atmosphere, the short break period for the Division Championship ended, and the opening battle of the International League officially began.
Tens of millions of players in the various divisions were watching their own channels on the forums, and the forums were as lively as a festival.
The opening battle of the International League was the battle between the champion and runner-up of the previous Division Championship, Long Sky versus Devil. Long Sky's fans and passers-by were a little worried about this match. Long Sky's performance in the Division Championship was not satisfactory, and they might suffer an opening defeat against the runner-up of the previous Division Championship. Losing one match was actually nothing, but it would be a huge blow to their morale.
Both parties used Dungeon Crystals to enter the arena. Long Sky's side had an armor with the Black Star Corps logo on it, and they all had different functions. This allowed the Black Star Corps logo to be displayed in front of the global audience, which was like a free advertisement.
On the other hand, while Devil's equipment was also very strong, their uniforms were not as uniform as Long Sky's. In comparison, Long Sky's team looked more like a proper army.
Now, the Black Star Corps' fame was no longer limited to the Shattered Star Ring. The players in the other divisions all knew that the Black Star Corps was the largest player faction in the Shattered Star Ring. It was a complete monopoly, and it was also the first faction to provide services across Star Fields. In the hearts of the players, the Shattered Star Ring was like the territory of the Black Star Corps.
Usually, only Universal Civilizations and Supercluster Civilizations would be able to label an entire Star Field as a faction. The Black Star Corps' true strength was far from these two, but their fame among the players was not much lower than that of the Universal Civilizations.
In the opening match of the International Season, Long Sky swept away their decline in the Division Tournament and finally bared their fangs. They fought back and forth with the Devil teams, competing fiercely with each other.
In this regard, Long Sky was the complete opposite of Temple of God. Their internal battles were ordinary, but their external battles were fierce. Perhaps it was because the foreign teams were not used to such a reckless style of fighting and were easily beaten up.
In the previous season, Long Sky had won against Devil by a small margin. However, this time, because of the strength of the Mechanic class version and the fact that some of the core players in Devil had jumped ship, the difference in strength between the two parties was huge. Long Sky managed to win the opening match of the International Season without any mishaps.
The morale of the Chinese players was greatly boosted, and the screen was filled with the words' Big Senior Brother is back '.
The International Regular Season that many players were looking forward to officially began. The teams fought fiercely, and the rankings changed every day.
It was only after the first half of the competition that the rankings became more stable. Because there were many strong teams in Group A, it was very difficult to win a one-sided battle, and the efficiency of obtaining points was not high. As a result, the rankings of many strong teams did not match their true strength. For example, Devil, Key, Tulips, 'White Emperor Holy Sword', and so on, none of them made it into the top four.
Dynasty and Long Sky were like fish in water in Group B, taking first and fourth place respectively. Rivervale, on the other hand, was crazily gaining points in Group C, reaching second place. Among the top four, only the third place was Team Kimchi from Korea, who was also a member of Group C's team.
To the Chinese teams, the situation was extremely good. As for Temple of God, who was being tortured in Group A, they were completely ignored by the players.
The huge advantage that the Chinese teams had was not only because of the groups, but also because there were two types of dungeon competitions in this competition. These competitions were the most suitable stage for the Mechanic class to perform. Dynasty, Long Sky, and Rivervale performed extremely well in these competitions, and their VE strength was much higher than the average level of the other teams, so they ate a lot of points.
Another reason was that the dungeon competitions in the International Regular Season would not choose the dungeons of the same region. This was to ensure that there was no difference in information between the teams. In other words, the Chinese teams would not have to experience the insane dungeons of the Black Star Corps in the International Regular Season dungeon survival battles.
As for the foreign players, they fully experienced the suffering of the players in the Shattered Star Ring.
The difficulty of the dungeons that Han Xiao released was completely different from the difficulty of the dungeons in the other regions. Looking at all the regions, the Shattered Star Ring was the only place that had a Beyond Grade A dungeon.
Under Han Xiao's torture, the Chinese professional players were already used to being tortured. Their mentality was stable, and they only felt relaxed when they ran to the high-level dungeons in the other regions. Even if their faces were blown up, they would still feel as comfortable as if they were on a field trip.
On the other hand, the teams in the other regions were tortured to the point that they wanted to vomit from the Black Star Corps dungeons. Their mentality was shattered, and their worldview was impacted.
Killing on sight was a basic operation, and there was even killing on the spot. However long the cutscene was, the longer they could live.
This was a dungeon for people to play.
Why was the difficulty so insane?
As long as they drew the Black Star Corps dungeon, the fans of the foreign teams in the other channels would cry out that they were dying too quickly. There was no viewing experience at all.
In the second half of the International Regular Season, perhaps because the points difference was too large, the teams of the other countries were convinced, and the Chinese teams were not targeted by the other countries like in the previous season.
Dynasty, Long Sky, and Rivervale fought steadily and steadily. Their results rose and fell, but they all maintained their positions in the top eight. Their positions were stable, and it was impossible for them to fall.
After the last match of the International Regular Season ended, the rankings were finally confirmed.
Rivervale went against the trend and took first place. The top eight were Kimchi, Dynasty, Hydra, Long Sky, Devil, Key, and Tomahawk.
There were a total of three Chinese teams that entered the top eight, reproducing the glory of the previous season. Their history was shockingly similar, and the ones who made it this time were still the same three old friends.
Dynasty and Long Sky were both old powerhouses, and Rivervale was a new club team. They made it into the top eight consecutively, and their position in the players' hearts was becoming more and more stable. They had the potential to become a super first-tier powerhouse.
Temple of God did not have the chance to make it to the finals, but no one felt pity for them. The audience's eyes were always on the winners.
What made the Chinese audience excited was that the matchups in this season's finals were far better than the previous season.
In the second season, due to the rankings and the drawing of lots, the three Chinese teams had two internal wars. Dynasty and Rivervale were both eliminated by their own people.
This time, they were grouped according to their points. First place Rivervale would go up against eighth place Tomahawk, third place Dynasty would go up against Devil, and fifth place Long Sky would go up against Hydra. The matchups avoided all the internal wars.
This matchup made the Chinese audience ecstatic. Compared to the bad luck of the previous season, it was as if they were really favored by the goddess of luck this season.
After the International Regular Season, the organizers promoted the finals on the forums and set the date of the finals.
Lothaire was sent by Han Xiao to assassinate the target in another Star Field. Some time after the International Regular Season ended, Han Xiao received a reply from Lothaire, and it was as concise as ever.
"The target has been eliminated."
There was a picture of the victim in the message, and the matter was done cleanly.
Han Xiao only provided the intel. Lothaire did not need any help and was extremely capable. He gave Han Xiao a very reliable feeling.
Red Empire also got rid of two upper echelons of the Blood Gold Organization.
The deaths of these three upper echelons were a huge shock to all the upper echelons of the Blood Gold Organization.
