The fifth day of WCG, which had four finals, naturally became the most watched day of WCG. According to statistics, a total of nearly 40 million people around the world tuned in to watch the fifth day of WCG.
The first competition was the Karting competition. In the end, the championship was taken away by the Fusangpeople. However, this was only because the Fusangpeople had a geographical advantage. Part of the first batch of N64 machines were in Fusang, and the other countries had very little access to machines. Almost 80% of the Karting contestants were Fusangpeople, so there was no doubt about the championship.
However, the Fusangpeople could only win two championships.
The second competition was the Yu-Gi-Oh competition. This was one of the strongest events in Hua Xia. After all, there were tens of millions of children in Hua Xia who grew up playing Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
However, he did not expect that by chance, the final winner was indeed a person from Wanwan Province. At first, Boss Jia was still a little unhappy. However, when he saw this person from Wanwan Province excitedly preparing to receive the award on the podium, Boss Jia suddenly revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He called the staff in charge of the flag-raising ceremony.
Five minutes later, the person from Wanwan Province was dumbfounded. Amidst the incomparably passionate singing of the "March of the Volunteer Army," two five-starred red flags were slowly raised, including the one with the highest position.
This made the person from Wanwan Province feel as if he had eaten sh * t. It was said that he even protested to the Daqian, requesting to change the flag and hold another award ceremony. However, how could the Daqian ignore him? They directly ignored him.
It was said that when this person from Wanwan returned, he immediately cried to the local media. Then, the media in Wanwan Province collectively went into an uproar, accusing the Daqian of not respecting international etiquette. Unexpectedly, the Daqian very straightforwardly replied, "Wanwan is an inseparable part of Hua Xia. The five-starred red flag is the national flag of Hua Xia. Naturally, it is also the national flag of Wanwan. It complies with the international laws of this world."
"Bite me if you have the ability!" In the end, the spokesperson of the Daqian Group said bitterly. Everyone in Wanwan was furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Next up was the finals of Heroes of Might and Magic. Logically speaking, the Fusangpeople should have a huge advantage in this game that had just been released on the N64.
Unexpectedly, a Korean player with the ID Stoneman came out of nowhere. He overcame all the obstacles along the way and took away the champion of Heroes of Might and Magic from a large group of Japanese players.
This Korean player's name was Li Shishi. Boss Jia looked at this Korean player's face and confirmed that it was Li Shishi. He just didn't know why this Li Shishi didn't play Go and instead played Heroes of Might and Magic.
Later, Li Shishi participated in an exclusive interview. In the interview, he smiled and said that he came to play Heroes of Might and Magic on a whim. He had a good friend who was a Heroes of Might and Magic player. He played the game at his friend's house and heard that there was a world championship, so he signed up.
However, his main goal was to play Go and obtain the highest honor in Go. A simple game like Heroes of Might and Magic was a piece of cake for him. He only needed to play for a few days and he would be able to win the championship.
This made all the Heroes of Might and Magic players around the world tremble in fear. However, the Korean players were naturally overjoyed.
While the Korean players were overjoyed, the final match of the last day of WCG was the finals of Diablo. The game with the largest number of PC players in the world was finally about to begin.
Unlike Diablo, during the finals, under Boss Jia's creativity, Blizzard's programmers meticulously designed an exclusive map called "Starting from Zero".
In this exclusive map, the players' starting level was 0. Moreover, they had nothing on them. They didn't even have a sword. They could only fight with their fists.
Moreover, all the monsters in Diablo World would appear in this exclusive map starting from 0. Moreover, the drop rate of the monsters in this exclusive map was insane. The experience value of the monsters was increased by 1000 times, and the drop rate was increased by 100 times.
According to the rules, all the top 8 players would appear in the Beginner's Village on this map. Every player would have 40 minutes.
In these 40 minutes, all the players would have to farm monsters and level up. At the same time, they would have to equip themselves with the equipment and materials dropped by the monsters.
After 40 minutes, all the contestants would immediately stop moving. Then, they would have 10 minutes to rest. During this 10 minutes, they could adjust their attributes and equipment.
After 10 minutes, they would be teleported to one of the eight boss spawn points. The terrain of these eight boss spawn points was the same and the boss spawned was the same.
The final test for the players would be to fight the boss. Their ranking would be determined based on the speed at which they killed the boss. If they were killed by the boss, they would be ranked based on how much health they had left.
As soon as this format was announced, it was praised by all the Diablo players!
That was because this competition was a fusion of the essence of Diablo.
The most fun part of Diablo, other than fighting different bosses and monsters, was farming for equipment, materials, and crafting equipment.
For all the contestants, the most important thing was the first 40 minutes. In these 40 minutes, they had to do their best to raise their level. Moreover, they had to plan a set of equipment that was most suitable for them according to their class and personal combat characteristics.
As everyone knew, the best equipment in Diablo didn't drop directly. It required a huge amount of materials to craft it.
As a result, if a player wanted to craft a set of equipment that suited them, they had to be extremely familiar with the equipment. They had to know what materials were needed to craft the equipment. Most importantly, they had to remember which monsters dropped these materials. Otherwise, if they were missing one or two materials, they would be in big trouble.
That wasn't all. Even though the drop rate of monsters had increased by 100 times, the players only had 40 minutes. Moreover, some of the higher level monsters weren't something that the lower level players could defeat. The players still had to level up first, so the 40 minutes had been further reduced.
Therefore, if a player wanted to craft the best equipment, it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to gather all the materials within the 40 minutes and would die instantly.
Moreover, the eight players were all in the same map. The map itself wasn't very big, and it contained all the monsters in Diablo. Therefore, most of the monsters were only in a small area, and there were only a dozen of them. If two players were to fight over the monsters, they would all explode together.
Therefore, this was a test of the overall quality of a Diablo player. It wasn't something that a player could win just by being good at fighting. The player had to consider all the factors, such as materials and equipment.
Since the rules had been announced, 99.999% of the Diablo players in the world felt like they were going to explode. If they were to come to this map, they wouldn't be able to create a top account even if they were given 400 minutes, let alone 40 minutes!
However, the top eight players had no choice. They had to win this competition. Moreover, all the players were excited about the rules of the finals.
After all, they had been playing Diablo for so long and killing so many boring monsters. They were already tired of Diablo. Now that a new format had appeared, they were filled with anticipation.
Even if they couldn't win the championship, it would be wonderful to be able to play on this magical map!
