From Qualifiers to the Finals: The Path to 'Complete Victory' Shown by Vortex

Vortex, the winning team, demonstrated a classic, royal road to victory, steadily improving their skills throughout this tournament.

In the qualifying phase, they displayed stable tactics amidst fierce ranking battles, passing through with an excellent 3rd place finish. In the subsequent Group Stage on DAY 1 of the main event, placed in Group D, they secured the top spot with maneuvers that kept other teams at bay, advancing to DAY 2 without peril. On DAY 2 of the main event, their momentum did not wane even in the 'Qualifier Winner' bracket where group winners gathered, securing the top position once again. Advancing with overwhelming stability and adaptability, they grabbed their ticket to the finals as the strongest challengers.

The Finals: Dominating the Battlefield with 29 Kills, Vortex Rises to the Top

In the fateful finals, tension-filled tactics unfolded around the 'MandelBrick', the core element of this game. Vortex exhibited their inherent teamwork, reliably securing MandelBricks at crucial points and taking control of the matches. What ultimately decided the victory was their overwhelming offensive power. Their total team kills in the finals recorded 29, leaving other teams far behind. By dominating the battlefield in a manner that never relinquished control from start to finish, they splendidly stood at the apex of 'Delta Force: Open Series Season1'. Thanks to this spectacular performance, player JungHee, who led the team, was awarded the tournament MVP.

MandelBrick Match Point Rules: Battlefield Control That Decides Victory

In the main event of this tournament, a special rule 'Match Point Brick Contest' was adopted, where asset management and teamwork hold the key.

Under this rule, the offensive and defensive battles over 'MandelBricks' placed on the battlefield greatly influence the outcome. A team that successfully decrypts a MandelBrick twice during a match wins at that point, making it crucial to seize control of the entire battlefield rather than just accumulating kills.

Matches proceed in a maximum 7-round format, with the timing of airdrops, the appearance of MandelBricks, and their locations changing every round. Amidst ever-changing combat situations, situational judgment and flexible tactical switching are required. The overlapping of these elements constantly creates tense tactical exchanges and dynamic match developments.
