Chapter 287 - One V One Fighting (1)

Day 3 of the VR Olympics with the preliminaries for the three most hyped events in the sport. The general layout of all the preliminaries was the same , there were four groups A , B , C , D Consisting of round of 128 knockout style tournament in Each match .

Hence one contestant would need to win 7 matches to become the champions of their respective groups.

There were a total of 250 countries participating in this event , hence there were a total of 500 participants in this event , 2 from each country.

Because of this , not all participants would need to fight in the round of 128 , as some would get a ( by ) in the match , and as a rule of the thumb , no two contenders of the same country would be in the same block.

Hence for example one player from Japan was in block A , then the other one would be in block B , this would ensure fair and healthy competition.

Hence today was going to be a long day for Rudra , at the best case scenario if he got a ( by )in the first round , he would still need to fight and win 6 matches to advance. If not he would need to fight seven.

Although the initial matches would not be in the grand collosseum , the matches from the semi - final of the group stage forward would all be in the grand collosseum.

Rudra was placed in Group A , while Jin Mori was placed in Group C for Japan.

Parallax was in group D , this caused many fans who wanted to see Rudra take on Parallax click their tongues in dissapointment . Considering how hard it was to advance from each group , the chances of the two facing seemed slim.

The one v one fighting was the grandest event of them all , and the Rudra vs Parallax rivalry was only a drop in the bucket. There were many other heated rivalries and many other strong contenders in the event.

A fantasy vote that took place about who was most likely to win the event , placed Rudra in fourth place actually behind 3 other contenders.

At number three was the Russian prized fighter Khabib , he was nicknamed as the Bear fighter , because he once wrestled a level 55 mutant bear , with nothing but his bare hands while being a level 30 player with no armour . Logically it was impossible to beat the bear , but Khabib pulled it off. His last recorded level was 74 , and his class was the Dark Barbarian.

At number two was Parallax , at level 82 , he was a fan favourite to win the event , his skills when displayed on the big screen were flashy and neat , hence his performance actually entranced more people than Rudra's in the beat the clock challenge , which was plain and effective.

The number one player most voted to win the event was the dark faction player with the class of blood warlock. Rumored to have learnt a legendary blood control spell called absolute blood manipulation , he was a one man slaughter crew much more terrifying than any necromancer or wizard in PVE . A video clip of him viping out a thousand man crew on a bloody battlefield in under 3 minutes had taken the internet by storm when it was released , however as terrifying as his PVE skills were , his PVP skills were not to be underestimated at All , always walking in a battle with vials of blood , he won his fights in the national championship without ever moving a single step from his spot. Hailing from Texas USA , his name was ' Nightmare '.

Coincidentally all four of them were in different blocks.
