The ending of the Sanctuary Club made countless netizens applaud. Shao Bo thought about seeking leniency from the league by making a public apology, increasing league membership fees, sponsoring the All-Star Game, etc. However, the league's top management was very determined in handling this matter and did not give Sanctuary any room for maneuver - after all, this was the biggest scandal that had broken out in the Star Card Professional League since its establishment!

This time, the Alliance not only expelled the Sanctuary Club, but also disqualified all players who had financial transactions with the Sanctuary in the past. Those guild insiders who took money privately were naturally dismissed by all major clubs.

Fans who had been attracted by the players' looks in recent years finally saw the true face of Sanctuary after this incident. The few fans who already existed collectively turned against it. The official Weibo of Sanctuary finally had less than 500,000 followers, and 80% of them were passers-by who followed it just to curse Shao Bo. Compared with the tens of millions of fans of big clubs like Fenghua and Caizhe, this is simply an irony.

To make matters worse, the court ruled on Chen Xiao's "defamation case" that Sanctuary must publicly apologize and pay Chen Xiao a penalty for breach of contract. Chen Xiao did this to make Shao Bo personally feel how Chen Qianlin felt when he paid the penalty for breach of contract.

For the first time, Shao Bo realized that he didn't have any friends. Sponsors who used to drink and chat with him rushed to withdraw their investment, and some even demanded compensation from Shengyu on the grounds that "Shengyu damaged our brand image"...

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. This group of people are all laughing at him!

When Chen Qianlin retired, a large number of fans jointly signed a petition to bring him back. But now when he left, all netizens collectively sent him off. Wang Xifeng's hahaha emoticons were widely circulated online, and Shao Bo almost had a heart attack because of it.

Chen Qianlin sent him a message in a calm tone: "I really wish I had never met you. Goodbye, no goodbyes."

Shao Bo: “…………”

This one sentence completely negated the friendship that the two had maintained for more than 20 years.

Shao Bo's face turned pale and he smashed the computer to pieces.

It is said that Shao Bo suddenly suffered from angina that night and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. After learning the news, many reporters rushed to the hospital for interviews but were stopped by his assistant.

The official blog of the Sanctuary Club did not make any statement in the end, and Shao Bo never appeared in public. The Sanctuary, a wealthy club that once dominated the professional league for four full seasons, has completely withdrawn from the professional league stage.

This is certainly a good thing for Nirvana. Although flies are small, it would be annoying if they were flying around in front of people every day. Now that the sanctuary has been expelled, the atmosphere in the entire alliance seems to have become much clearer. Everyone is full of fighting spirit and even smiles more often.

Chen Qianlin took advantage of everyone's good spirits to call a small meeting with the team members and reminded them: "Nirvana is in Group B. Although it has returned to the fourth place, the Starry Sky and Sniper teams have made rapid progress recently. We still can't let down our guard."

In the playoffs, four teams from each group A and B will advance, so Nirvana's real opponents are not the teams in group A, but the Star Team and Sniper Team, which are in group B and have very close points.

Currently, Nirvana ranks fourth with a total score of 22 points, Starry Sky ranks fifth with 21 points, and Sniper ranks sixth with 20 points. If Nirvana fails at the hands of a weak team, it may be surpassed by the Starry Sky and Sniper teams who are eyeing it.

Nirvana must maintain its fourth place in the group and cannot afford to be careless and underestimate the enemy, lest any effort be wasted.

Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao both understood this. The next opponents, such as the Musou Sentai and Guangyao Sentai, were not well-known and did not have any great players or decks. They were of course important training targets for Nirvana. Of course, playing against weak teams did not require a very strong lineup - the best way was to use a deck that had been used before and combined it with a new map scene.

All submitted maps must be used up during the regular season. Therefore, when playing against these teams, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao tacitly chose some maps with lower difficulty coefficients, such as Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qiu Shuang Zhai, Daoxiang Village, Ou Xiangxie and other Grand View Garden series maps, as well as Three Kingdoms series maps such as Xia Pi Flooded, Battle of Red Cliffs, and Tongquetai.

Fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Nirvana had new scene pictures almost every time it played at home.

The league's great players were also confused: "How many scene maps did Nirvana make?" "The league has no limit on the number of scenes that each club can submit. Nirvana has been very well prepared this season and should have some trump card scene cards that have not been brought out yet."

There has been a lot of discussion online about this, and many netizens have posted posts to speculate how many maps Nirvana will have. In response, the official map analysts thought with a happy face - Nirvana's maps will be several dozen GB! When the largest "Grand View Garden mosaic map" appears, it will probably shock you!

In the next ten days of matches, since the opponents were not strong, Nirvana won 2:0 consecutively. Until May 18, Nirvana met Shadow Team in the round-robin outside the group, and it was an away game.

Shadow is the team with the best chance of advancing to the next level in Group A besides Fenghua, Guiji, and Liushuangcheng. After all, they were ranked seventh in the standings last season. After the league revised the competition system this season, it increased the number of qualifying spots in the playoffs, and Shadow will certainly not miss this rare opportunity.

The captain of Shadow, Shao Mengchen, is the only female conductor in the entire league. She is decisive, decisive, and careful. She is beautiful and generous, and likes to tie a neat ponytail. She has more fans than many male players, and she is known as the twin goddesses of the league together with the elegant sister Zhen Man.

Chen Qianlin did not dare to be careless when facing the Shadow Team. He made a special tactical analysis before the game: "This team's style is very similar to the Dark Night City. They are a team with particularly strong assassination capabilities, excellent command awareness, high team execution, and fast switching speed. It is difficult to defeat them in a direct head-on confrontation. This game still needs Azhe to command and find some unconventional tactics."

Xie Mingzhe actually wanted to face off against this Shao Mengchen. Last season, she was able to overturn big clubs such as Judgment and Liushuang City. This Shao Mengchen should not be underestimated. Her conducting ideas are different from most male conductors. She is very good at grasping details, and details are Xie Mingzhe's weakness. It's a good opportunity for him to learn from her.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe said, "Master, do you think they will use the 'Dream Bubble' map again?"

When Xie Mingzhe went to watch the game on site last season, he was deeply impressed by this map - the entire map was covered with bubbles of various colors, and the style looked very dreamy. Every 20 seconds, all the colorful bubbles floating in the air would explode, causing 20% ​​of the basic health of all cards in the scene to suffer critical damage, and causing the entire map to fall into a hallucination control that lasted for 5 seconds.

This is also the fastest-paced map in the entire alliance so far.

The map-wide explosion damage occurs every 20 seconds, plus the bubble illusion control of the entire map. People who are not familiar with this map will definitely be confused.

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Dream Bubble is the map that the Shadow Team is best at. I looked at the statistics and their winning rate on this map is over 80%. Currently in Group A, the Shadow Team's points ranking is quite dangerous and they are not sure of advancing to the playoffs. In order to get points from us, I think Shao Mengchen is very likely to use this strongest home map."

Chen Qianlin nodded in agreement: "The new map has too many unstable factors, and using the old map will be more secure. How to crack the Dream Bubble map is a problem that many clubs are worried about. We will study it carefully."

The damage of the explosion that occurs every 20 seconds is extremely high. If you bring a healing card, you must bring at least three group healing cards, otherwise you will not be able to hold on. In addition, when the bubble explodes, it will also produce a 5-second illusion. If you don't get this rhythm right, it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of the illusion to assassinate you - after all, the illusion only affects the visual effect, and the card can still release skills.

Shao Mengchen knows the distribution of bubbles in every corner of this map by heart. She is very good at grasping details. When the opponent is controlled by the illusion, she takes advantage of the gaps between bubbles in the air to launch a surprise attack, which makes it difficult for the opponent to defend.

This map was voted the "most popular map" last season. In addition to the dreamy colorful bubbles that make girls' hearts burst, it is also because this map is particularly exciting to watch the game from a bird's eye view - often the opponent's eyes are still seeing the illusion created by the bubbles, but the Dark Night Team has already killed several of the opponent's cards without anyone noticing.

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temples and said, "There are all colorful bubbles in front of me. To be honest, this kind of map not only makes my eyes dizzy, but also makes my mind confused. I need to familiarize myself with it."

Maps that have been used by major clubs will be added to the league map library by the league and can be used at any time. In the following time, Xie Mingzhe has been familiarizing himself with the map, wandering around in a place full of colorful bubbles all day long. He feels like he has grown ten years older and returned to his childhood when he was blowing soap bubbles...

It is not easy to remember the arrangement and distribution of all the bubbles, but in order to get points when playing against the Shadow Team, Xie Mingzhe still gritted his teeth and repeatedly located and restored each bubble in his mind - until he could completely reproduce this complex map in his mind.

Xie Mingzhe spent a whole day just on the map. However, he wanted to take this opportunity to learn the details, and everyone supported him. They waited until Xie Mingzhe had memorized the entire map before cooperating with him to practice deck tactics.

The match day arrived soon.

All members of Nirvana arrived at the competition site and happened to meet Tang Muzhou who appeared on the field again in the backstage. He came to Xie Mingzhe and said with a smile: "We can't be careless when playing against the Shadow Team. In the previous internal rotation stage, our Fenghua lost to the Shadow team on the road. Shao Mengchen is very good at grasping details."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I know, I will try my best to get one point."

Getting 1 point in an away game is a good deal. Xie Mingzhe decided to observe Shao Mengchen's attack rhythm in the first game and then try to counterattack in the second game. His counterattack method was a bit lazy, but he believed that there were no real gentlemen on the court. Everyone was trying to win, so isn't it normal to dig a hole for the opponent?
