The team at Blue Star Studio also compared all the data from the same period and created a ranking list.
Sure enough, this player ranked first among assassins.
After the finals, the official team also interviewed him.
When asked "Why did you choose this name?", the player smiled confidently and said, "Because my idol is Odin, the god of assassins in the e-sports world."
This sparked a heated discussion online.
League of Legends has five positions, and currently, the world's number one in three of those positions belongs to the Sixth Star Province.
There were three seasons of finals, and two of the championship trophies belonged to the Sixth Star Province.
For a time, players in the Sixth Star Province were filled with a sense of honor, and there was even a saying on the forum that "the master of the first region is equivalent to the king of other regions".
This naturally angered players from other regions.
On the official forum, a wave of healthy competition quickly swept through.
Players from different provinces in the Chaoyang Alliance have spontaneously started to fight against each other, and their online duels are going quite well.
Meanwhile, the designers on Blue Star watched as Mingyan revealed a thoughtful expression.
Shivering.
The boss must have had another devilish idea!
Chapter 58 Code Name: Soul
After the League of Legends Season 3 Grand Finals concluded, the year quickly moved into its fourth quarter.
The development of Blue Star's latest game, "Soul of Mortals" (codename "Soul"), has quietly reached 40%.
The Alpha version is ready to be released, but the first batch of tests will mainly focus on the first map.
This map is also used for players to learn about the combat system. It is the easiest level in the entire game, essentially a game demo.
Slightly different from previous Alpha tests, the main purpose of this test is to verify gameplay.
A month ago, Bluestar released an announcement on its official website about the "Alpha test trial experience," which caused a collective frenzy among players.
The official registration channel was bombarded with messages!
The registration form was originally just a very brief personal information form, asking players to fill in typical information such as their name, age, education level, and gaming history.
The players' enthusiasm was unexpectedly high.
They actually started writing short essays in the last column, "Game Experience"!
Some people have a more down-to-earth style, so they write: "[Over twelve years of gaming experience, completed all games on Earth at least three times, Diamond I rank in League of Legends...]"
Some people are eager to show off their special experiences, and will write: "[I am the leader's junior, I have heard the leader speak in person, and I even took a photo with the leader at the carnival! (and actually attached a link to the photo)]"
Some people simply paste their expensively prepared resumes onto the website.
Participating in an internal game test has turned into a massive open selection process; it's truly unbelievable.
In reality, Blue Star only wanted about twenty players with different styles.
As a result, over 100,000 people signed up on the first day, all of them coming for the new game.
Some even wanted to use a feint to secretly advance their plans, just like Ling Lingqi, and have a legendary entry into the company—he thought to himself, what if he also caught the eye of Chief Designer Ming?
The overwhelming number of applicants forced the official website to close the registration channel early and issue a separate notice.
The selection of testers for this test was completely random!
There's no way around it. Let alone the issue of whether manually selecting players would cause resentment, there are simply too many people to watch manually.
The most reliable approach is to let the AI system randomly select twenty spots.
After the secretary verified the information of each player, he sent out test invitations from Blue Star.
The Blue Star Studio's current system and procedures are still very complete. Invitations are only valid for the day of the invitation and are divided into several categories such as tours, tests, and meetings.
Players are most familiar with the two types of access: browsing and testing. Many lucky fans have proudly shown off their experiences on the forums.
The background of all the invitations features the Blue Star logo.
Invitations for tours have a blue stamp on the envelope, those for tests have a red stamp, those for meetings have a gold stamp, and so on.
The corresponding stamp will be displayed below the player's forum ID.
On the forum, players affectionately refer to them as "Little Blue Badge," "Little Red Badge," and so on...
Among them, the "Golden Badge Boss" is someone people look up to!
The first batch of test players of "Soul of Mortals" also held "little red stamps" in their hands, passed through the security check of Blue Star, and followed the secretary to the dedicated player testing station.
The young lady arranged for everyone to put on the dedicated VR equipment and opened the game's built-in test procedure instructions.
At this moment, outside the testing room, the designers of "The Soul of Mortals" had been standing there since early morning.
The one leading the pack is naturally Mingyan!
He seems to have learned from his experience; the new player testing station has one-way glass, so players are unaware that the designers are right next door.
But the designers can now observe their gaming experience up close.
