In the next three days, the semi-finals would be held.
In order to determine the winner as soon as possible, Boss Jia arranged for 500 of the 3000 contestants to be in a single elimination round in the conference room.
Everything in the conference room had been taken away, leaving only the chairs and tables for the contestants to sit on. At the same time, there was a piece of paper and a pen on each table.
When the 500 contestants entered the conference room, they found that the tables and chairs in the conference room were arranged in pairs.
It was a bit like a classroom in school, where you and your deskmate's desk were placed side by side, and there were aisles for students to walk on.
"Dear trainers, you have three minutes to choose your seat. If you haven't chosen your seat after three minutes, you will automatically be disqualified." The competition host standing in the conference room said with a smile.
Then, the 500 trainers entered the conference room in a daze and randomly chose their seats … But soon, they understood how important it was to choose their seats.
After everyone sat down, the host said with a smile, "Then I will announce the rules of the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be a single elimination round. It is now eight in the morning, and we will choose four contestants to enter the finals before twelve in the morning! "
"Out of 500 people, only 4 made it to the finals!" Hearing this data, the contestants present were a little shocked.
Choosing four out of 500 meant that all 496 contestants would be eliminated, and the probability of qualifying was only 0.8%. This was too exciting and exciting.
"I believe that all the trainers must be very curious, who is your next opponent? Then let me tell you, the person sitting next to you right now is your opponent. "
"Next, you will start a 5v5 Pokemon battle with the opponent next to you. However, unlike before, where you can choose your Pokemon according to the situation, before the battle begins, you will write down the names of five different Pokemon on the paper in front of you. In the following battle, you can only use these five Pokemon to battle!"
"Of course, the names of these five Pokemon are confidential. After writing, you can fold the paper and hand it to the referee for safekeeping. At the same time, the order of the 5 Pokemon's battle will be decided by you. After a battle, the winning Pokemon can be recalled, or they can be sent into battle again. "
"The 50 referees patrolling the area will constantly check your battle situation. If you use any other Pokemon, you will be immediately disqualified!"
"In addition, the referee will also check the battle records and compare them with the Pokemon written on your letter!"
"What? Our opponent is my deskmate!" Hearing the host's words, the contestants were once again dumbfounded. Those contestants who came alone to participate in the competition didn't really care. After all, they had to have opponents. This was quite interesting.
However, the contestants who came together to participate in the competition were dumbfounded. Because they were friends, they would definitely choose the empty seats when choosing their seats. They would sit together. After all, they were good friends!
But now, his good friend had become his first opponent. This was f * cking f * cked up.
However, no matter what the contestants thought, the competition still began.
There was no need to talk about the specific battle process. After 15 minutes, basically all the contestants had finished their battles. The defeated contestants left the arena dejectedly under the guidance of the referee. Fortunately, they could still enjoy three days of free hotel benefits.
The victorious contestants were also brought out of the conference room. When they re-entered the conference room after 5 minutes, there were only 250 seats left in the room. Everyone had to choose their seats again.
This time, the surviving contestants from the first round learned their lesson. They didn't sit together anymore. At the same time, some smart contestants began to secretly observe the entire arena during the competition. They observed which contestants finished their battles the fastest and were determined not to sit together with them.
In any case, there were obviously more calculations when choosing seats in the second round. Some contestants didn't choose their seats when the three minutes were almost up. In the end, under the urging of the bell, they blindly chose a seat with their eyes closed. It was a bit of a scam.
They also had to decide on the 5 Little Pokemon to participate in the competition.
At the same time, some contestants were also a little curious. From 500 people to 250 people, they could still be paired according to speed.
But from 250 people to 125 people, there was bound to be an extra seat. They didn't know how the organizing committee would arrange it!
When the third round of the competition began, they finally understood. It turned out that there were a total of 126 tables in the conference room for the third round. The host also deliberately added on the stage that there would be a trainer who didn't have a deskmate, and this trainer would be lucky enough to get a bye and directly enter the next round.
Hearing that there was a bye, some contestants who barely made it into the third round began to think of other ways.
At first, they weren't in a hurry to choose a seat. Instead, they stared at the empty seats desperately, wanting to grab the last empty seat.
However, these guys who thought they were smart soon found that something was wrong. Because all 63 pairs of seats were soon occupied by at least one person. Then, those who wanted to rely on their little tricks to grab a seat at the end sadly found that no matter which seat they chose, they would meet an opponent.
The only ones who were truly lucky enough to get a bye were those who used the fastest speed to grab an empty spot and then were given up on by the other contestants. Such people were truly chosen by the heavens and had to be extremely lucky to be able to get a bye.
As the three minutes ended, the lucky person finally appeared. It was a young man sitting in the center seat, so this young man was lucky enough to enter the fourth round.
In the fourth round, there was also a lucky contestant. However, in the fifth round, the number of contestants was reduced to 32. This time, there were no more lucky contestants. Everyone had to fight until the last four contestants were left.
However, what people didn't expect was that when the last four people were decided, the young man who got a bye in the third round was actually among the four people. This guy's strength was really extraordinary. He was a strong player.
In fact, this was very normal because this guy was the first to finish the competition. In the eyes of all the players, this guy was the strongest. Therefore, when they were choosing their positions, everyone instinctively avoided this guy, giving him the opportunity to have a bye.
Therefore, a bye was a reward that only the strong could get.
