Greatest Streamer System-Chapter 240 - – Day 2 Qualifier, Rules Change

Max noticed that almost all players recognized this Moon Feather person, save for himself. He wanted to ask who this person was, but he had no chance. Moon Feather continued his words.

"We received all the players' criticism and suggestions yesterday and took it to heart. While we believed our system was perfect, we believed hearing suggestions would be good for us. That's why we slightly changed the rule regarding points acquisition."

No one took that seriously. It was obvious they only said that to cover up their mistake. What they were curious about was the new rules.

"Because the tournament will begin soon, I shall explain the new rules."

Saying so, Moon Feather flicked his hand. Large screens appeared in four directions, allowing all players to see it. On the screen was a short gameplay video. It had the number 1, and Moon Feather spoke again.

"I will explain how to earn points. First of all, individual skills. Please look at the video."

Players watched the video intently. It showed a thief player evading the police's watch by pretending to be an NPC. Then, the screen changed, showing a police player identifying a disguised thief and focusing on the target for a few seconds.

"As you can see, the first point acquisition is still based on an individual skill. How to obtain them? The answer is just to do the correct task according to your role. For example, a thief can fool the police, and the police can identify the thief. This is the case for the old rule."

It was easy to understand, and no one voiced anything.

Players got a point when they did something that was actually in line with their role. Even identifying a thief added points. That was why some players got more points than others.

'My guess is on point. Doing something thief-like and police-like will give me points. Helping teammates will also get me points, as that will count as an assist.' Max nodded in understanding. freёwebnoѵel.com

At that moment, Moon Feather snapped his finger, and the screen turned black.

"I believe everyone has no complaints regarding this rule, but it's still vague. We deliberately made it so to avoid someone abusing it to only earn points and not actually doing their best to win the match. But still, that didn't work. Realizing that, we changed it into a new rule."

The screen above suddenly exploded, or so it looked like. In fact, it was only an explosion effect and sounds. Winner Privilege. These words were written boldly on the screen.

"Let's take everyone's suggestions into account."

An evil laugh filled the room as neon lights began to shine in various directions, moving around without any goal.

"For the Tier 1 Tournament, we will hold 10 games today. 5 players who win a game will receive 1 point, and the loser will lose 1 point. NovelFireP and SVP will both gain no extra points. It's an easy-to-understand system, right?"

Moon Feather tilted his head to gain their attention.

Max felt like this suddenly spiraled into chaos. The competition to win the match seriously starts right now.

'This is madness.' He commented in his mind.

They simplify too much stuff. Did they take the players for a fool? Chatters quickly filled the room as Moon Feather stayed silent. Most of those chatters came from Tier 1 players and some curious Tier 2 players. They wondered what the rule for Tier 2 was.

Hearing that, Moon Feather clapped his hands. Everyone went quiet at once and focused on him again.

"You must be curious about the Tier 2 tournament's rules."

Everyone instinctively nodded their heads. Max held his breath and focused his attention on the man on the platform.

After looking around for a second, Moon Feather continued.

"There are 50 players advancing to Day 2, and 40 of them were in this room. Unfortunately, we will disqualify those 10 who couldn't come. This number is probably due to the dissatisfaction with our management. For that, we apologize."

'That's a lot of people not participating.' Max was honestly surprised. 'I can't blame them either. They probably didn't expect this change in plan.'

Still, the Tier 2 tournament seemed to have a different rule from Tier 1. Everyone was tense. Max also noticed Ranga's eyes quivered slightly as he looked at Moon Feather.

Curious. Impatience. And competitiveness.

While they chatted naturally, both of them were still rivals in this tournament. Max shifted his focus to Moon Feather once again. At that time, the gaudy man surprised everyone.

"We will do an elimination game." The man declared, surprising everyone. "We will split it into Team A and Team B, with 20 players in each group. Then, 20 players will be put in a different team randomly. They will compete with each other in two games.

"The winner will continue, and the loser will be disqualified instantly. After only 5 players are left on each side, totaling 10 players, we will continue with the last, third game to determine the 5 last players to advance to the final. That's the rule for Tier 2 tournaments."

Instead of a rule, it was a change in the gameplay itself. However, this was way better than the previous rules, which confused everyone with the points acquisition method.

And unlike Tier 1's point system, the elimination method was also easier.

'Simple and straightforward.' Max grinned as he looked around the room. 'But not anyone like it.'

Everyone seemed to consider the pros and cons of this method. The important bit here was the team would be divided randomly.

"So we need to make do with our teammates," Ranga commented from the side with a serious look.

"I hope I will be put on your team, Breeze. Hahaha, at least I know you're a player with skill and good game sense. As for the others… I only recognize Puppeteer. It's hard to judge their skill from their looks alone. I will be damned if I am put in a team with 5 people who have the same role as me."

Yeah. Max had to agree with that.

'This is more fucked up than anything else.' He groaned.

In the end, everything was left to the Goddess of RNG again.

"Now, let the thievery begin! Have fun, everyone!"

With that, Moon Feather disappeared with another puff of smoke, and the light returned to normal.

Holding his chin, Max heaved a sigh.

'The management team is a crazier bunch of people than I initially thought.'
