In early September, the league officially started.
The Age of Navigation League starts around the end of August or early September every year, and usually there is a game every weekend. The game lasts for two hours. Win or lose is calculated based on small points, and points are calculated based on winning or losing.
There are twenty teams, and there will be two battles between any two teams, one home and one away, so there are a total of thirty-eight rounds in the regular season. By the end of May of the following year, the thirty-eight rounds of the regular season will be completely over. The top eight teams from the regular season will compete in the playoffs in June. The annual championship will be determined in a knockout round.
The league started on Friday night, with ten teams playing five games that night. The arena has opened a spectator mode, but it is not free. You need to buy tickets with cash to watch. The ticket price of the league in the first year was not high, but the huge number of spectators still brought huge benefits to the league.
The match between the Treasure Ship Team and the Beiyang Team was scheduled as the first game as the opening match. These two teams are the two with the best results in the qualifiers, so they are more eye-catching. The ARATS hopes to gain a certain amount of profit from such a classic battle. However, they still underestimated the market. The number of votes purchased for this game was three times what the relevant ARATS departments had expected.
In this game, the Bao Ship Team won at home with a score of 8 to 3. The Navigation Sports News published a personal special report on Shenma Sanbao the next day, occupying an entire page.
The match between Team White Snow and Team Autumn. It was scheduled for the day after the league started. That is Saturday night. The attention of this game is no less than that of the opening game, because this game has been dubbed the gimmick of a showdown between beauties. Arguably the most popular match of the second day.
The Autumn Team is one of the few teams in the Chinese Super League that is dominated by female players. Although the White Snow Team has a man, rumors now say that this man is actually a shemale with a male and female account, so it can be regarded as a team. A pure girl team.
Before the game, Lao Bai logged into the game with his sister, Hui Yu and others. At this time, the Aotian was anchored at the port of Portovero, and Deng Shichang, Shenma Sanbao and others were also here. The South American division has been almost divided among everyone, and everyone is sharpening their knives. They just waited for all the teams participating in the league to finish playing before starting a war with their old ally Maldenard.
When Lao Bai walked to the Pier Arena, he saw Shenma Sanbao buying tickets from the NPC. While buying, he also complained: "The ticket price is so expensive, can't we get some discounts? The ARATS must give some discounts to professional players!"
The Shenma Sanbao competition was completed yesterday, so it was relatively leisurely. After the team's summary meeting, we ran to watch today's game.
Lao Bai greeted forward: "Xiao Ma. Which game are you buying tickets for?"
Shenma Sanbao said: "Of course it's a girl showdown, oh, girl, are you here?"
Lao Bai wiped his sweat and said, "Who is the girl?"
Shenma Sanbao said: "Of course it's you. Who doesn't know that our Admiral Bai is a man who has the courage to challenge himself. As a man, he created a female account. But there is obviously something wrong with your female account. There is no breast at all. If it doesn¡¯t stand out, you wouldn¡¯t just change the lower body when you customized your character, right?¡±
Lao Bai said: "Get out of here, I'm just a man."
Shenma Sanbao said: "Sister, you don't need to cover up, facts speak louder than words."
As he was talking, another group of female players arrived. It was Yiye Fushen and her female companions. Now the elite fleets gather at Portovero. Yiye Fushen is one of them, and of course he is also in this arena.
"Yiye Fushen" is one of those types that you don't think is very beautiful at first glance. But the more I look at the beautiful woman, the more elegant she becomes. Wearing a blue robe and holding a staff in her hand, she greeted Lao Bai: "Sister Admiral, you have to let me take the lead in today's game!"
The leader of the fleet is called an admiral in the game. Although Yiye Fushen is the admiral of the Autumn Fleet, Lao Bai is the admiral of this elite fleet composed of thirty chambers of commerce. Ever since she joined this elite fleet, Yiye Fusheng has been accustomed to calling her Admiral Laobai, but today, she added the word "girl" after "admiral".
It seems that a joke my sister made at the press conference was taken seriously by everyone. Even Yiye Fushen, who was usually more serious, called him sister. Lao Bai looked at Yiye Fusheng and said helplessly: "Even if I am the rumored female number, it's not your turn to call me a girl, right?"
Yiye said with a smile: "Today, the ARATS announced information about all our professional players. I found that your birthday is exactly two days later than mine, so, Sister Dabai, Sister Xiaobai, and Xiao Fenghe, you are all better than me. Small, haha.¡±
The younger sister shouted: "Yi Zi, are you two days older than my brother?"
Yiye Fushen nodded and said, "Would you like to fax you my ID card? I'm just two days older, haha."
Lao Bai sighed: "Hello, Lao Ye, goodbye Lao Ye. Lao Ye, will you give up this game to us young people?"
"You" Yiye Fushen pursed her lips. Although she was older than Lao Bai, she was only two days old, but Lao Bai called her Lao Ye, which had to make her feel a little embarrassed.
Huiyu pulled Yiye forward and said, "Don't worry about my husband, that's how he talks. Yezi, I heard that you are also at level ten?"
Yiye Fushen said: "Well, I just reached level 10 and am thinking about the job transfer mission."
Huiyu said: "You must have learned the tenth level ultimate move. Don't use us as guinea pigs during the competition."
Yiye Fushen said: "I'm afraid it's you who want to take over after the game starts. If I were given a choice, I definitely don't want to have the chance to use this ultimate move."
A few people chatted for a while, and then each teleported to the game map through the teleportation array. Today's game is the home game of the Autumn Team, so the map is also chosen by the Autumn Team, with clear skies and the Yellow Sea of ??China.
After continuous adjustments and trials in the qualifiers, the general framework of the rules of the Age of Navigation Professional League has been almost finalized. When the game starts first, each team will enter five ships, and the total number of players on the five ships shall not exceed fifteen.
??It is customary for everyone to travel in a boat with three people, so there are exactly five boats with fifteen people. Of course, the specific number of people on each ship depends entirely on the team's tactics. For example, five people in one boat and one person in the other boat are also acceptable, as long as the total number of players in the game map does not exceed fifteen.
A league game lasts two hours in total. Thirty minutes to thirty-five minutes after the game is the first reinforcement time, and substitute boat operations can be carried out. At this time, four reinforcement points will usually be opened on the map. If a team has a ship that sinks, it can bring in a ship for reinforcements. If no ship sinks, the team can also choose to change ships and send the severely damaged ships through the reinforcement points. Change out, then put on a new boat.
During the first ship-changing time, each team can only reinforce one ship, and during the reinforcement process, it must be ensured that the number of ships in the team does not exceed five, and the number of players present does not exceed fifteen. In other words, if your ship does not sink, you can only retreat one ship before you can reinforce one ship. And the number of players on that ship can be smaller, but not larger.
From the 90th minute to the 95th minute of the game, which is one and a half hours after the game starts, it is the second reinforcement time. The number of ships that can be reinforced during this reinforcement period is two, and both fleets can perform a second replacement operation at this time depending on the game situation.
Players and crew members who have died during the game, or ships that have sunk or been captured, cannot reappear as reinforcements.
The setting of changing boats is to enhance the visibility of the game. Being able to call in reinforcements in the middle of the battle avoids the situation of being unfavorable in the early stages of the battle and immediately turning the situation one-sided in the later stages, adding more variables and drama to the game, ensuring the suspense of the game, and making the game more exciting.
The winning or losing game is based on small points, and the side with more points wins. There are four ways to calculate small points, namely sinking points, capturing points, referee deductions, and sweeping extra points.
Both sides of the competition will get one point for each enemy ship they sink in an artillery battle. This score is called a sinking score. Because hand-to-hand combat in the game is more beautiful than artillery combat, the league encourages hand-to-hand combat. If you destroy the opponent through hand-to-hand combat and capture the enemy ship, you will get two points. This is the capture score.
There are many rules and regulations in the game. If there is a violation of the rules, the referee will give different warnings according to different situations. There are three types of warnings: ordinary warning, yellow warning, and red warning. If a normal warning accumulates ten times, one point will be deducted from the warned team. If a yellow warning accumulates twice, one point will be deducted. A red warning will directly deduct one point from the warned team. This is the referee's deduction.
The last one is to sweep extra points. A battle in which all ships of one side are sunk or captured by the other side is called a sweep battle. In a sweep battle, the game ends early after the sweep is completed, and the surviving team will receive sweep bonus points.
If the battle is swept after ninety minutes, it is called a small sweep, and the surviving fleet is awarded four points. If a sweep occurs from half an hour to ninety minutes, it is called a large sweep, and the surviving fleet is awarded eight points. The last one is It is called a super sweep, which means that if the opponent is swept within thirty minutes, ten points will be added to the surviving fleet.
After the game, both sides accumulate small points, and the side with more small points wins. The winner will receive three league points, and in the event of a tie, both teams will receive one league point each. After thirty-eight rounds,Each team is ranked in the top eight based on league points and enters the playoffs.
Lao Bai¡¯s Aotian docked at Portovero Port, but the other ships were not here. Although Cashew was technically ready to join the elite fleet fighting against the Overlord, there were many things to do in the Chamber of Commerce, so she was not allowed to come over right away.
Lao Bai plans to ask each chamber of commerce to board two ships in a few days, doubling the size of this elite fleet, so that the elimination of Maldenard will be faster. At that time, call the cashew nuts over and let us fight together.
Since several ships are not in the same port, they can only go to the arena game map to meet up. Stepping onto the teleportation array, the Aotian appeared on the surface of the Yellow Sea. Soon, the five ships of Baixue's team: Aotian, Tilapia, Xianlong, Art Troupe, and Kalai, all arrived.
