The first game of the semi-finals, Chen Xiao vs. Xingguang.
Ever since Chen Xiao showed up in the quarter-finals, his mature and handsome appearance, coupled with his comeback personality, immediately attracted a large number of fans and passers-by's attention. This match was certainly highly anticipated.
Zhou Xingchen is the seed player of the Temple of the Gods. It is said that he is a newcomer personally trained by the great god Ling Jingtang. His style is similar to that of Ling Shen, and he uses a cold weapon deck.
Theoretically and based on the cards, Chen Xiao doesn't have much chance of winning against Zhou Xingchen - because Chen Xiao's style also tends to be violent offensive, and it is very difficult to win against a gold deck in terms of critical hits.
However, Chen Xiao's reaction speed was too fast and his positioning skills were first-rate.
Zhou Xingchen's weapon cards finally managed to kill his Chiba Takayama Pine, but Canna and Black Rose came out together and destroyed all the weapon cards. Zhou Xingchen was obviously dominant in the early stage, but Chen Xiao calculated the damage very accurately. At the critical moment, he released the ultimate move of the Black Mage card, turning the single attack into a group attack, aiming at the opponent's lowest health card, and the overflowing damage instantly cleared the field!
This style of play shocked the audience greatly, and the violent clearing scene looked particularly exciting. There was a lot of screaming from the audience, and Chen Xiao's female fans said that it was so handsome to watch him play in the game!
In the second round, Zhou Xingchen changed his strategy and wanted to kill his Black Mage first, and indeed used all his firepower to kill the Black Mage. However, in addition to the Black Mage, the attack of the Black Rose card can also be freely switched between group attack and single attack. Chen Xiao manipulated the Black Rose to make all the black petals sweep straight to the designated Key card, killing the opponent's core card and tearing open a gap.
The attack power of the dark plant card does not seem to be as good as the gold weapon card, but the special skill mechanism, coupled with Chen Xiao's skillful operation, ten minutes into the game, Chen Xiao surprisingly won the victory with a difference of one card!
The last remaining Canna actually survived by sucking blood, and sucked the last card of the opponent to death? !
The audience applauded excitedly. The two games were played at a very fast pace. Chen Xiao finally defeated his opponent 2:0 and entered the finals with a perfect record!
Fans who have just started to like Chen Xiao recently were extremely happy and filled their screens with messages saying that Brother Chen is very handsome.
The commentator analyzed seriously: "Chen Xiao's deck is the so-called 'multi-core' play style. He has four core output cards. No matter which card the opponent focuses on, he can quickly establish an advantage with the other three. When the opponent finally kills one of his cards, he finds that all his cards have also been damaged."
"In this multi-core group attack mode, unless you are faster than him and kill two of his group attack cards in a row, or simply bring a healing card to delay the game, he will seize the opportunity and defeat you in one go. Obviously, in terms of speed, Zhou Xingchen is still slightly inferior to Chen Xiao!"
"Let us congratulate Chen Xiao for advancing to the finals!"
Chen Xiao turned around and walked back to the backstage amid enthusiastic applause. Xie Mingzhe was waiting for him at the exit. When he saw him come out, he took the initiative to hug him and said, "Brother Chen, you fought very handsomely!"
Chen Xiao patted Xie Mingzhe on the shoulder and said simply, "Come on, we'll be waiting for you in the finals!"
This sentence is really the most heartwarming encouragement.
Xie Mingzhe nodded vigorously: "Okay, see you in the finals!"
He and Chen Xiao smiled at each other, took a deep breath, turned around and walked onto the stage.
Seeing the handsome "fat uncle" appear, the fans were extremely excited, but they couldn't scream too loudly, so many girls covered their mouths and laughed.
The female commentator said, "Please welcome the fat uncle who is neither fat nor uncle—Hsieh Ming-che! In today's semi-final, his opponent is the newcomer Ye Bin-bin from the Dark Night City Club."
"Binbin's deck is very special, it's a spell deck. I remember that in the quarterfinals, Yu Ke lost two games to Ye Binbin. I wonder if Azhe is well prepared today?"
"Ye Binbin is also very strong. Besides, the card of the immobilization spell is extremely flexible and difficult to deal with. We can look forward to how Ah Zhe will deal with it." She no longer accidentally calls him "Fat Mingzhe". According to Xie Mingzhe's statement, she will call him "Azhe" from now on to sound more intimate.
Against spell decks, the card of Immobilization is indeed crucial.
When Yu Ke lost the game, Brother Chen analyzed that he had to interrupt the frequent freeze-up and control.
Ye Binbin is essentially a displacement control style of "fixing the opponent and kiting", which is extremely threatening to melee decks. The cooldown time of the spell card skills is very short. Once the control is connected, the opponent will be tied up and unable to perform at all. However, it also has a big flaw - the operation is too frequent. As long as you catch a loophole in one link, you can completely break the control chain.
Xie Mingzhe looked very calm. His five open cards still released the Shu cavalry formation, but his hidden cards were changed. The audience was confused when they saw the familiar gold card deck - if they only used these cards, once Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were immobilized, they would not be able to use their skills. Liu Bei's control release cooldown time was so long that he would definitely fall into passivity!
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Ye Binbin relied on the immobilization talisman to control the situation. Xie Mingzhe's cavalry was fixed in place at any time. The horses' legs were almost broken and they couldn't run at all. In a blink of an eye, they were beaten to a pulp by the opponent.
He seemed to be playing very passively, and fans couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
However, Xie Mingzhe on the big screen remained calm and not at all panicked.
Ye Binbin seized the opportunity to kill Huang Zhong instantly, but was saved by Liu Bei's gold shield. Ye Binbin's reaction speed was also extremely fast. He immediately focused his fire on Ma Chao and defeated him in a blink of an eye!
If you want to kite the opponent, it is a wise decision to kill Ma Chao who speeds up the whole group.
Just as Ma Chao was about to die, a three-meter-tall giant suddenly appeared on the field. He swung the giant axe in his hand vigorously, and the field shook violently like an earthquake. The giant axe split the map of the competition into a gully!
——Pangu, created the world and forced a ceasefire!
The forced ceasefire at the critical moment instantly interrupted Ye Binbin's rhythm of controlling the situation.
Ye Binbin was anxious and wanted to cross the ditch to kill the bleeding Ma Chao.
However, the truce lasts for 5 seconds, and Xie Mingzhe quickly adjusts the cards so that all the cards are fan-shaped and Ma Chao runs as far as possible. This makes it difficult for Ye Binbin to maintain continuous control of the field.
At the moment when the truce ended, another magic card appeared -
Fuxi, cast the fishing net, and the group is fixed!
The huge fishing net that fell from the sky fixed all of Ye Binbin's cards in place!
The commentator couldn't help but exclaimed: "Beautiful! This wave of counter-control seized the opportunity and directly controlled the opponent's five cards!"
"He played very passively at the beginning, not because he had no other options, but because he was calculating the time carefully, right? He just happened to block the opponent's skill CD, and used the combo of Pangu and Fuxi to reverse the situation and take back the initiative."
"He was still very calm during the game. Fuxi's Fishing Net immobilizes the enemy, and the cooldown time is indeed relatively long, but Fuxi's group immobilization is more effective than single immobilization in controlling the field! This way of dealing with the situation is indeed very reasonable. If the opponent immobilizes one of his cards, he will immobilize all the opponents!"
This is how Xie Mingzhe cracked it - you freeze one of my cards, and I freeze all of yours. You use your freeze skill many times, which frequently disrupts my rhythm, but I only need to use a group freeze once to completely reverse the situation.
This is the difference between "point" and "surface".
Frequent single control and one-time group control, it cannot be said who has a greater advantage, it depends on who can better grasp the opportunity.
Xie Mingzhe has a strong ability to seize opportunities. Relying on Fuxi's group immobilization, he quickly killed the opponent's immobilization talisman with a burst of power.
Although Ye Binbin still had several control spell cards, once the control chain was torn, his spell cards' defense was too weak and he could not withstand Guan Yu's violent sword attack.
In the first game, Xie Mingzhe made a comeback.
In the second round, he adjusted his strategy again. Playing the same routine twice was boring, and he wanted to come up with some new tactics. So, in the second round, he removed the two magic cards, Fuxi and Pangu, and replaced them with Princess Iron Fan.
Princess Iron Fan is not a demon, and has no ability to transform. Her real power is to work with Bull Demon King and Red Boy. But Xie Mingzhe didn't want to bring out the Journey to the West deck too early, so he only brought out this one card to test the waters, which was enough to amaze the audience - the iron fan in the hands of the beautiful woman danced, and the whirlwind group displacement was strongly controlled!
Ye Binbin's key spell card was blown away by Princess Iron Fan and flew directly to the horizon!
The scene of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves made the audience laugh out loud.
The cards were out of range, and Ye Binbin had no way to control Xie Mingzhe's other cards. After all, the rookie lacked experience in competitions, and after three cards were blown away, he was a little flustered. It took a lot of manipulation for the blown cards to return to the attack range, and at the same time, he had to deal with Xie Mingzhe's frontal attack. Ye Binbin was simply too busy, and lost the second game even faster than the first.
——2:0, another winning streak!
Xie Mingzhe took off his helmet, walked to the center of the stage, and bowed to the audience with a smile.
This time, the fans had obviously gotten used to his face and they applauded enthusiastically. Many fans in the back row even held up the poster with the big Q-version head of the fat uncle.
The applause at the scene was deafening, and the live broadcast room was filled with 6666. Many passers-by also congratulated Uncle Pang and Brother Chen for their successful meeting in the finals: "There are many masters in this year's Masters Tournament, but I didn't expect it to become a Nirvana Civil War in the end!" "Azhe and Chen Xiao are both so handsome, and their wins are so neat and tidy!" "The Nirvana Civil War will definitely be very exciting, I wonder who will win the championship?" "Both of them are currently undefeated, who will end who?" "I just look forward to more fun cards appearing in the finals!"
The professional league group was very quiet because Ye Zhu, the top anti-fan, had not spoken in the past few days. In fact, the masters from various clubs who were watching the game were all amazed at Xie Mingzhe's tactical ability.
In the two games, Xie Mingzhe used different methods to break Ye Binbin's spell deck. It seems that Xie Mingzhe not only has a talent for card making, but is also good at deploying troops - his tactical skills exceeded many people's expectations.
If you can use a deck, you are just a beginner professional player.
A true master is one who can adjust his deck at any time according to the opponent's lineup.
Shan Lan asked curiously, "A new card, Princess Iron Fan, appeared today. How many cards does he have that he hasn't used yet?"
Nie Yuandao said calmly, "The cards he made don't have obvious attribute biases. He brought out gold decks and fire decks in the Grandmasters, but Princess Iron Fan is an earth card. If I'm guessing correctly, he may have made decks for all five categories."
Shan Lan: “…”
The Master's bad predictions are always accurate. It seems that Uncle Fatty's card pool is much deeper than everyone thought.
What everyone has seen of Xie Mingzhe so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Even Tang Muzhou is not sure how deep the card pool of the junior brother is.
During the Grandmasters stage, the water and earth decks that Xie Mingzhe had used in the wheel battle with Fenghua Team 2 had not appeared, not to mention the wood deck he had just made and a large number of scattered cards.
If you want to see all of his cards, you obviously have to wait until the eleventh season. Tang Muzhou is also very much looking forward to the surprises and shocks that his junior brother will bring to everyone.
After the game, Xie Mingzhe posted a message on his personal homepage: "I am very happy to have entered the finals and successfully joined @云霄上面陈哥. The finals are a civil war of nirvana. Brother Chen and I have always been good brothers. No matter who wins in the end, we will congratulate each other. Please also support Brother Chen. See you at 8pm on the 8th. We will try our best to bring you a wonderful final."
Fans: “…”
This guy is really smart. He is afraid of infighting among fans of both sides, so he issued a statement in advance to show friendship?
Chen Xiao smiled and forwarded Xie Mingzhe's message, saying, "Azhe is right. Although the final has become a civil war, we will not deliberately give in to each other. Respect the spirit of competition, try your best, and win or lose as fate dictates."
Brother Chen's words were also very generous. At this stage of the game, they no longer care about the result. After all, the champions are all reborn, and it doesn't matter who wins. Winning this game does not mean that you are better than the opponent.
Chen Qianlin will not favor any side, so he did not instruct either side before the game.
He just wanted to see the results of the two people's tactical learning during this period.
