Chapter 299

KID Tank Disappeared?

Once the format of the competition was announced, everyone's attention shifted to the allocation of teams in the various major regions. The teams from the five major star domains were distributed quite widely. Among the ten competition areas, the most attention was focused on the distribution of strong teams from the top five of the Star Alliance.

In the previous Star Alliance competitions, this was the first time the 7-hour 1v1 defending format had appeared, with the leaping of defending champions. The leaders of the five major star domains were also surprised by such a format. They anticipated that it would test the overall strength of the entire star domain, but they didn't expect the Star Alliance to have each team face off against each other, using a 1-team vs. 1-team combat format. In such a combat area, if two teams appeared from the same region, not only could they not cooperate, but they would also be forced to fight each other.

The leaders of the First Star Domain looked serious.

This result could be seen as both good and bad. Good because the first phase of the battle became fairer, but bad because the top-ranked teams, two or three of them, were in groups with high difficulty levels, making it harder to score points.

E.M in the canyon, PJT in the forest, WHG in the volcano, SLY in the residential area, GBK in the snow mountain, being grouped with the top five teams of the Star Alliance meant that the battle process would become extremely difficult.

Most importantly, the champion of the First Star Domain, KID, was in the same group as SLY and CEF4 from the beginning.

This was equivalent to putting their originally easiest-to-score team into the most difficult scoring group.

[Wait a minute? According to this, isn't the residential area where KID is located one of the Shura groups?]

[More or less, there are two more Shura groups, basically any two top ten teams belong to the Shura group.]

[The volcano and the canyon groups are also quite tough.]

[Forget about the other groups being Shura, at least there's no defending champion. Haven't you seen KID draw the defending champion with their bad luck!]

Among all the teams in the First Star Domain, only KID drew 5 as the defending champion. The order of the other teams in the First Star Domain was good, mostly drawing 123.

In this unfamiliar format, the first team to draw the defending champion and the first team to fight against the defending champion were both unlucky.

In the live broadcast room, the audience from the First Star Domain looked at KID with a bit of pity. Their new Star Domain overlord seemed to have taken away all the bad luck of the entire Star Domain.

Inside the arena, after the drawing for the defending champion ended, the leaping of all the mecha teams had already begun.

As the defending champion, all the mechas of KID leaped to the central area of the residential area, where red curtain walls floated up one by one, forming another special red arena within the residential area. The other residential area teams that didn't draw the defending champion were leaped to other independent areas. They couldn't enter the red area during non-combat time, nor could they enter the base station.

Before KID could react, the scene in front of them changed suddenly. The old-fashioned buildings in the residential area appeared before their eyes, with scattered pollutants still moving on the streets.

"Wait?! What's going on as the defending champion?" Lin Yao asked stupidly, "What are we supposed to do?"

Huo Yan quickly made a decision, "Find a place to hide first! Who are our opponents?"
