After Qi Sheng released the event announcement, major media platforms in the real world were swept by the same sensational news.
Meanwhile, in the game, the number of warbands registering for the competition quickly surpassed the 300,000 mark.
During this period, a wave of guild mergers surged aggressively.
Facing the cruel "single-elimination" system and unprecedented generous rewards, many smaller or mid-level guilds realized that fighting alone might not be fruitful.
So, they chose to merge with other guilds to enhance their overall strength.
For example, Breaking Army and War Song, two guilds famous for their frontal assault, announced a merger. The new guild was named: War Symphony.
"Iron Wall," a guild long focused on defense and positional warfare, merged with "Shadow Dance," a guild known for agile assassinations, forming: Shadow Wall.
