The Battles

Coaches begin narrowing down the playing field by training the artists with the help of "Dream Coaches". They are San Bao for Team Liu Huan, Wang Chi-ping for Team Harlem, Wang Feng for Team Na Ying, and Coco Lee for Team Yang Kun. Each episode features battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concludes with the respective coach eliminating one of the two artists. After the Battles, one artist is chosen by each coach to automatically advance to the Playoffs.

The Playoffs

There are three rounds in The Playoffs. In the first round, the four contestants have their own performances, and the coach decides on the contestant to advance to the final round. The 99-person media will eliminate one artist based on their votes, and they can choose to either vote or not vote for an artist. In the second round, the two remaining artists compete against each other, and the votes are decided by the media as well as the coach, who gives a total of 100 points for both artists. The artist with the highest number of votes advances to the next round. In the final round, the two remaining artists compete against each other, and the voting system is the same with the second round. The artist with the highest number of votes is the team champion and will advance to the finals.
