By the end of this month, the provincial level competitions for the Chaoyang Alliance A-League would begin.
Of course, Odin had also received an e-mail regarding the competition from the Second Star Province, so it was now time to finish his recuperation and vacation and return to the Second Star Province in order to participate in the provincial competition.
The provincial and district competitions differed in one way, which was that for the provincial competition, it was required for the contestants to physically be at the official location in the real world. This was not because the provincial competition was putting on airs but rather because the contestants in the provincial competitions came from different star districts and the physical distances involved were very large, making it likely that network delay and instability would occur.
Conventional communication methods were unable to exceed the speed of light, so if the contestants from two opposing districts of a Star Province played against each other, the delay could be counted in years... Of course, it was impossible to compete under such conditions.
Using ultra-light speed communication was expensive, and long-term stability couldn't be guaranteed. The military also expropriated the civilian communication channels often, especially when the situation was urgent. Although many people had protested against this, it hadn't had much effect.
Therefore, other than some special cases or certain pre-approved players, all other contestants were told to report to the Second Star Province's A-League official competition planet.
The competition planet for the Second Star Province had originally had an official name, but as everyone only called it the 'provincial competition star', its name was gradually forgotten as time went by.
The provincial competition star wasn't very big. Its diameter was about 60% smaller than Earth, and it had been artificially terraformed. 60% of the planet was ocean, and there were five artificial islands that were used for each sub-group of the provincial competition.
A platform in the sea dedicated to the finals was set up in the middle of the five islands.
The Second Star Province was a large star province. It included a total of fifteen star districts including the Earth District. Each sub-group consisted of three districts and were split into A, B, C, D, E sub-groups. An elimination system was used to determine promotion within the sub-group.
In other words, there were five sub-groups in the provincial competition, each covering three districts. Every district had five spots in the competition, adding up to a total of 75 competitors within the entire provincial competition.
Elimination in the sub-group was based on the BO3 system, and the four remaining contestants from each sub-group would enter the semi-finals. Generally, there would be 24 contestants in the semi-finals (after counting the contestants from the losers revival bracket), and they would continue to use the BO3 system to determine the top eight. The top eight would enter the finals, which used a point system and would be explained in detail later on.
The five participants for the provincial competition from the Earth District had already been announced. Other than Odin, two of the remaining four contestants were previous district champions, and the other two were contestants who had suffered defeat during the previous national competition and returned to compete in the provincials.
