The reputation of the Nirvana team as the “strong team harvester” spread throughout the league.

Since the start of the competition on April 4, they have played three consecutive games against three top-notch teams, namely Judgment, Temple of the Gods, and Dark Night City, and all of them were won with a score of 1:1. It is hard to believe that Nirvana is a newly formed team.

In previous seasons, most new teams were crushed by strong teams with a score of 0:2. This year, Nirvana achieved three consecutive 1:1 scores in Group B. Nirvana's prospects of qualifying have become very optimistic. After all, they have already snatched 1 point from Judgment, Temple of the Gods, and Dark City in the group round-robin stage. Other teams may not be able to get this crucial score.

Chen Qianlin carefully analyzed during the meeting: "Group B has four seats that can enter the playoffs. Judgment, Temple of the Gods, and Dark City will definitely qualify. There is only one remaining seat, and the competition is very fierce. We, Nirvana, have a good chance of making it into the top four, but we can't be careless."

He displayed the schedule of Group B on the screen, pointed at two teams and said, "Group B also has two second-tier teams that are relatively strong. One is the Sniper Team, which has a large number of hot weapon cards and a frontal fighting style of violence. The other is the Star Team, which has a very unique Star deck and a unique playing style, which is very difficult to deal with. Both teams are strong enough to compete with us for the qualification for the playoffs."

There are a total of 12 teams in Group B, and only four of them can enter the playoffs, with an elimination rate of more than two-thirds. Although Nirvana has scored 1 point each from the three major teams, if it fails in the games against other teams in the same group, it is very likely that it will be surpassed in the points list in the end.

Among the twelve teams, except for the three giants, Xie Mingzhe was not familiar with the remaining nine teams. For example, the "Starry Sky" team was a newly formed team this season. Fortunately, Chen Qianlin has been trying to find the past competition videos of these teams, analyzing their styles and decks, and compiling detailed information to provide to the players.

After playing against three strong teams, Nirvana had exactly three days of rest.

Chen Qianlin used this time to let everyone get to know all the opponents in Group B and focus on the opponent in the next game - the Star Team.

The emblem of this team is a vast nebula, which is a beautiful design. Judging from the current schedule, they will play against All Gods on April 9, which is tomorrow. The members of Nirvana are watching the game together in the conference room and analyzing the characteristics of their opponents.

The game on the evening of the 9th was still very intense.

To everyone's surprise, the Star Team actually relied on a very unique tactic to tie the Temple of the Gods 1:1.

After the game, Chen Qianlin played back the game video and listed the decks used by the Star Team in this game. He said, "This team is very unique. You saw it in today's game. It's a new team with a novel style of play. They also have good coordination and their teamfight strength is not inferior to ours."

Xie Mingzhe looked at the decks listed on the screen and couldn't help but say, "The cards they made are quite interesting. They are all cards related to the universe and the starry sky, the sun, the moon, various constellations, cosmic wormholes and so on. Could their players be from the astronomy department?"

Chen Qianlin said: "As far as I know, the captain of the Star Team, Bai Xu, graduated from the Department of Astrophysics. However, this person is quite special. He was the runner-up of the Masters Tournament last season, but after obtaining the registration qualification for professional players, he did not sign a contract with any club. Instead, he found a few like-minded friends to form his own team and study cards while working."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Does he have any other job?"

Chen Xiao, who knows something about the situation, said: "Not everyone considers playing card games as their career. Bai Xu is one of the few 'semi-professional players'. I heard that he is the son of the CEO of a certain aviation group and a rich second-generation. Winning or losing the game doesn't matter to him. He just gathers a few good friends to have fun."

Xie Mingzhe was not surprised that the second-generation rich team came to test the waters in the competition, after all, they were rich and willful. However, Bai Xu had a great imagination and made various planets into cards, including Pisces, Leo, and all twelve constellations. The card designs of cosmic wormholes and cosmic sandstorms were also very novel.

Yu Ke pointed at the card "Cosmic Wormhole" and said, "Open a cosmic wormhole in the designated area and suck the enemy cards into the wormhole space. Isn't this equivalent to mass exile? The reason they were able to tie the Temple of the Gods today was because this card sucked Lucifer and Michael into the cosmic wormhole at the critical moment. It looked very powerful!"

At that time, everyone was watching the game together in the club's meeting room. Yu Ke kept this scene in mind.

Chen Xiao stroked his chin and said, "The design of the Space Rift card is also very good. It can allow a group of your own cards to teleport to a designated space. Is this their way of forcibly dividing the battlefield?"

Chen Qianlin replayed the slow-motion footage of the key turning points in the match between Starry Sky and Temple of the Gods, and said, "Essentially, the Starry Sky team does use the 'space division' style of play. Their Starry Sky deck combines the decks of the twelve zodiac signs. Gemini and Leo have strong group attacks, Sagittarius and Scorpio have high single kill crits, and Virgo, Libra, and Aries have large-scale control skills. The entire deck is very balanced."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly: "The key to their deck is still relying on the space division of the two cards 'Cosmic Wormhole' and 'Space Rift', as well as the various negative controls of the constellation cards. It is indeed very difficult to beat them."

Libra symbolizes balance. Bai Xu used this as a starting point to create a "Libra" card. The summoned card illusion is the Libra Nebula in the universe. The card skill can evenly distribute the damage to all friendly players in range, preventing the core card from being killed instantly by the opponent.

Virgo's skill "Perfectionism" can ensure that your attacks will hit the target and ignore the enemy's defense; Pisces' "Romance" can give your teammates an attack bonus effect...

These strange constellation cards, plus the sun's dazzling light radiating group attacks, and the moon's cold light reducing defenses - the Star Team used this set of galaxy cards to defeat the Temples at home, which was also their first game in the Group B civil war.

Reporters' reports on this competition were mostly positive: "Group B is very competitive. In addition to the three giants, Nirvana and Starry Sky both have the potential to compete for the fourth qualifying spot!" "Starry Sky Team Bai Xu's original Starry Sky series of cards is very innovative. Various cosmic bodies and landscapes are made into cards, which is good news for astronomy enthusiasts!" "Bai Xu, Xie Mingzhe, this year's Best Newcomer Award may be born between these two!"

For a time, Xingkong was regarded by everyone as Nirvana's biggest rival - a player with equal strength and who could create original cards.

It just so happens that there will be a match between Nirvana and Starry Sky on April 12. Although it is a confrontation between two new teams, it has attracted widespread attention from the entire league before the game even started.

Seeing his teammates' serious expressions, Yu Ke scratched his head and asked in confusion, "How do we crack the space splitting method?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled and reminded him: "Did you forget that we also made a map of the forced division battlefield?"

Yu Ke's eyes lit up: "Yes, the map that shows Wei, Shu, and Wu divided into three parts, right?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded and said, "They want to split the space and use the cosmic wormhole to suck our cards in and defeat them one by one. We can also use the Three-Division to forcibly separate their star cards so that they can't cooperate with each other."

This is the simplest "tit-for-tat" strategy.

The Star Team did use the card "Cosmic Wormhole" to forcibly suck away Lucifer and Michael, disrupting the coordination of the Temple God Card Deck. Then, the Nirvana Team "fight fire in their own way" and used the "Three-Part World" random formation distribution map to completely break up the control chain between their Star Cards.

The "Three-Divided World" map, where cards in different territories cannot affect each other, is indeed a powerful weapon against such a tactically unified team. Xie Mingzhe was able to come up with a corresponding strategy so quickly that Chen Qianlin was really surprised. He looked at his little apprentice with a hint of admiration and said, "Xiao Xie is right. Our home court. We can indeed use the "Three-Divided World" map to disrupt their spatial division formation and prevent the cosmic wormhole from exerting its desired effect. But the key lies in the away court. How should we deal with it?"

Away from home, it’s the Star Rangers who choose the map themselves.

How many cards to send at a time and where to send them are all decided by the Star Troopers, so they can be very proactive and flexible in tactics.

Xie Mingzhe was also a bit troubled: "If they use the cosmic wormhole to suck away a few of Brother Chen's key plant cards or my core character cards, and then use the space rift to separate a space separately, it will be difficult for us to cooperate... But if we choose a lineup that does not require too much coordination, it will not be easy to defeat them. Master, do you have any good ideas?"

He only thought of using three-pointers to break the opponent's space division tactics at home. Xie Mingzhe had no idea how to play away from home.

Chen Qianlin said calmly: "There is a card that you can use."

Xie Mingzhe immediately asked, "What brand?"

Chen Qianlin did not give a direct answer, but gave a hint: "Think carefully about the cards you used in the last game against Dark Night City."

Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao looked at each other, and after a moment, they both said the name of a card at the same time: "Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth?!"

Chen Qianlin raised his lips in satisfaction and said, "From the surface, the skill of the Goddess of Childbirth is a buff effect. It should be used on your own cards. It copies 1/2 of a card's attributes and one of its skills. As long as you copy the output skill of the key card, it is equivalent to dealing a huge amount of damage at once. However, there is a prerequisite for giving birth to a baby card."

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "The card that was given a baby cannot move for 9 seconds, nor can it release any skills. It must be pregnant and wait for the birth, right?"

Teammates: “…”

Why does this description sound weirder the more I hear it?

Pregnant? What the hell? If the cards were conscious, they would probably want to vomit blood when they heard this description.

Chen Qianlin was already used to Xie Mingzhe's various weird speeches. He glanced at his apprentice calmly and said, "Yes, it is equivalent to a 9-second exile, and it can exile two cards at a time. It can be used on some cards that pose a huge threat, allowing them to get pregnant and give birth to babies nearby without affecting us."

Everyone: “…”

This move is too bad! How come Lin Shen is getting worse and worse? Or is it that Lin Shen is essentially full of evil and hides his evil intentions?

Xie Mingzhe smiled happily, "Master is right. We should aim at the cosmic wormholes and space rifts, which are powerful cards with tactical effects. Let them get pregnant somewhere else and see how they can suck our cards away!"

Chen Xiao touched his nose awkwardly and said, "So in the next game, the Goddess of Childbearing will give a baby to the opponent?"

Xie Mingzhe said straightforwardly: "Yes, give them a surprise!"

Everyone imagined the scene and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry - this was definitely not a surprise, but a shock, right?
