Ivan “Omni," Max “Maxwellis" and Chris "ChrisP" were clearly ready to improve upon their qualifying time of 21:47:92. They didn't just shed their second place status, they absolutely crushed the best qualifying time set by Rutgers University. Several teams bested that top qualifying time, but University of Nevada, Reno were the undisputed quickest.
With a team composition of Xingqiu, Bennet and Yelan, they breezed through the following bosses:
- Cryo Regisvine
- Pyro Regisvine
- Cryo Hypostasis
- Primo Geovishap
- Maguu Kenki
- Jadeplume Terrorshroom
- Golden Wolfhound
- Aeonblight Drake
- Algorithm of Semi-Tintransient Matrix of Oversser Network
- Electro Regisvine
- Beneath the Dragon Queller
- Enter the Golden House
- Narukami Island: Tenshukaku
The format allows for only one 5-Star character with two 4-Star characters. The fastest four teams to defeat the entire list of bosses advanced to the Semifinals, where a game of Lockout Bingo awaits them.
If they move onto the Final round, another Boss Rush awaits them. Teams can ban certain characters, however, changing how to approach the Boss Rush minigame. You can catch all of the action live or after via VOD on the official eFuse Twitch channel.
