At midnight on September 5th, the number of online players of Thriller Paradise easily broke through seven digits, setting a new record since the start of the game.
Millions of players had already laid down in their gaming pods before midnight and logged into the game in sleep mode (the competition could not be held in non-sleep mode servers).
Even though most of them were not S2 contestants, and the preliminaries were not broadcasted live (at least until the end of the preliminaries, all recordings were kept confidential), they were still willing to join in the fun.
As for the players who were qualified to participate in S2, there were quite a few of them ... This was because dream Inc. Had announced the start of the competition in early August, and the registration deadline was at the end of August. This half a month's time was enough for many players who had yet to meet the requirements to level up.
