The game started, and both games today were at the Shadow Team's home court.
In the first round, Shao Mengchen submitted the map without hesitation - a dream.
As expected, it is this familiar map. Shadow’s win rate on this home map exceeds 80%. Seeing this, many great players in the Professional League are looking forward to how Nirvana will deal with Shadow’s home court. Will he come up with a new deck lineup?
During the stage of both parties announcing their decks, Xie Mingzhe quickly submitted the lineup he had arranged long ago - Nirvana did not take out a single new card today, and all 14 cards on display were old cards. But the strange thing was that the deck Xie Mingzhe used today was not a gold, earth or water character deck at all, but a large number of scattered cards.
In the past, when he picked Ma Chao, he would definitely have the cavalry system of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; when he had Zhu Bajie, he would usually send Tang Monk and Sun Wukong to cooperate. But today, the cards he chose were very messy. For example, he chose four auxiliary cards of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Huang Gai and one output card of Sun Wukong for the earth element, and Shennong for the wood element...
The two commentators didn't expect him to mess up the deck like this. Wu Yue couldn't help but wonder: "From the cards revealed, Nirvana should be an earth-type deck today? Five earth-type characters, demon cards, and five earth-type joker cards meet the conditions for building a deck of more than 10 cards."
Liu Chen said, "But strictly speaking, Xie Mingzhe didn't bring an earth character deck today. The five earth cards are all single cards, without any linked skills. Maybe he put Zhu Bajie and Tang Monk's linked cards in the hidden cards?"
The audience was also speculating, but Tang Muzhou, who was watching the game from the backstage, immediately saw what Xie Mingzhe was thinking. He turned around and asked his master, "Did he shuffle and reorganize all the cards and pick out the most suitable deck for the 'Dream Bubble' map?"
Chen Qianlin nodded: "Today's card lineup was all chosen by Azhe. Just wait and see, there will be a surprise."
The most important thing for a commander to avoid is being stubborn. If Xie Mingzhe only knew how to bring a deck, then in the playoffs, all the club cards would be publicized. As long as core cards like Zhu Bajie, Wang Xifeng, and Guan Yu appeared, the opponent would be able to guess your entire lineup at once. In actual combat, most powerful commanders would shuffle all the team cards and reorganize them.
This involves a more advanced issue of "deploying troops". In the case of completely disrupting the card pool, picking the most suitable lineup to deal with a certain club is the key to testing a commander's "deployment ability".
After this period of competition, I was able to quickly figure out how to mess up the card pool. It turns out that my junior brother is very talented.
Tang Muzhou looked at the big screen expectantly——
The first game was played at an extremely fast pace. Shao Mengchen launched a sudden attack at the moment when all the bubbles on the scene exploded. The angle she found was very tricky. In the hallucination state, she used the gaps between the bubbles and used her pointing skills blindly. She actually hit Nirvana's key card accurately, so that Nirvana couldn't defend it at all.
This round ended too quickly, and Nirvana's key cards were all killed in less than 5 minutes. The audience was a little confused, but this was a normal rhythm for Shadow. After all, the Dream Bubble Map loses 20% of its health every 20 seconds. If the cards are not treated, they will die soon. It is not easy for Nirvana to last for 5 minutes.
This team's assassination ability is indeed well-deserved. Pei Jingshan said: "The Shadow's teamfighting is not worse than ours. It's a pity that the players' individual abilities are limited. Otherwise, they could have made it to the semi-finals."
Ye Zhu said: "Will Nirvana be defeated 2:0 in two away games? That would be too tragic, hahahaha."
Bai Xu, who was standing next to him, pricked up his ears and listened, thinking, 2:0 would be better, so that the Star Team would have a hope of returning to fourth place in the group.
The two "Fat Uncle anti-fans" of the alliance happened to sit together today. Ye Zhu said that Nirvana would be defeated 2:0, and Bai Xu thought so in his heart. Unfortunately, their "crow mouth" skills could not be compared with Nie Yuandao - what they said might not come true.
At the start of the second game, Shao Mengchen continued to use the Dream Bubble map. There was nothing wrong with this idea. After all, it was an advantageous home map. He had just won a game, so it would be more secure to continue using it in the second game. However, Xie Mingzhe looked calm. He did not change the lineup of the open cards, but only swapped two hidden cards.
At the beginning of the game, Shao Mengchen was still very good at grasping details, and took advantage of the first burst of bubbles on the entire map to launch a fierce attack!
The audience from the God's Perspective can see that in the illusion state, the players' vision is full of colorful bubbles. However, the Shadow Team's cards can fill the gaps between the bubbles and accurately hit Nirvana Card with all targeted skills.
This wave of outstanding "blind operations" amazed the audience, and Shao Mengchen's familiarity with the map also impressed the audience.
However, all the skills did not cause any damage to Nirvana's cards.
Li Wan, Begonia Poetry Society draws a range, all friendly parties in the range are collectively immune to damage and control, lasting for 5 seconds.
The 5 seconds of invincibility for the entire team coincided with the 5-second full-scene illusion control duration of Dream Bubble - Li Wan was exactly the hidden card that Xie Mingzhe replaced in the second game. It was a water auxiliary card that had appeared when playing against the Sanctuary, but today it appeared alone on the field.
The negative state of the map cannot be controlled or exempted, and the illusion of the dream bubble map is a sure hit. However, the opponent's plan to use this 5-second illusion to launch a strong attack can be perfectly resolved by Li Wan!
At this time, due to the scene illusion, the players of the Shadow Team could not see Nirvana's operations, and they could only attack based on their experience. As a result, this wave of attacks was offset by Li Wan's invincibility.
When the illusion ended, Shao Mengchen discovered that none of Nirvana's cards had lost a single drop of blood, and he immediately had an idea in his heart - perhaps in the first round, Nirvana was just testing the waters to see how Shadow played, and the second round would be a real showdown.
The scene became clear again, and the two sides exchanged fire. Shadow wanted to end the battle quickly, but Nirvana used various methods to block their attacks.
When the second full-scene illusion appeared, Xie Mingzhe took out another auxiliary card - Pangu, Creation of the World, and a 5-second ceasefire!
Audience: “…………”
Another 5 seconds passed, which was perfectly coordinated with the map effect, and the shadow's attack was blocked again.
Pei Jingshan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "Xie Mingzhe is quite smart. The first time he made the opponent invincible for 5 seconds, the second time he made a 5-second ceasefire, and during the ceasefire he used Shennong's group healing array. These three auxiliary cards were chosen so well that Shadow's attack rhythm has been completely disrupted."
Ye Zhu was dissatisfied: "But Xie Mingzhe brought so many auxiliary cards in this game, and too few attack cards. If it drags on like this, he won't be able to kill the opponent, right?"
Pei Jingshan shook his head: "Don't forget that this is a map where the whole scene loses blood. Every 20 seconds of the whole map losing blood will increase the pressure of treatment. Whoever delays longer will win."
Pei Jingshan hit the nail on the head with one sentence, and Xie Mingzhe indeed thought the same way.
Li Wan delays for a wave, Pangu delays for a wave, Shennong heals and recovers for a wave, and all of Nirvana's cards are still full of health. However, the Shadow Team wants to end the battle quickly, so they bring far more attack cards than auxiliary healing cards. At this time, the health of the cards is around 70%.
Judging from the overall health, Nirvana firmly holds the advantage.
Shao Mengchen sensed something was wrong and immediately accelerated the pace of the attack. Even if the scene illusion was not triggered, she relied on her familiarity with the scene map to command the attack to go around the back or attack from the side.
This female commander really paid attention to the details of card movement. Three of Nirvana's healing cards were instantly destroyed!
Xie Mingzhe remained calm. At the moment when the bubbles burst again and the illusion of strong control appeared, he suddenly summoned a card and based on his familiar memory of the map, he quickly placed the card behind the opponent's camp.
The Shadow Squad was completely unaware of this, but the audience from the God's Perspective could see a particularly interesting scene -
Xie Mingzhe summoned Sun Wukong. He used the 5 seconds of the illusion to quickly go to the back of the Shadow Team's deck according to the memory path, and activated the "Seventy-two Transformations" skill, turning into the Shadow Team's card: Lich.
The Lich is Shao Mengchen's original card. He wears a purple-black robe and holds a staff. He can heal teammates from a distance. He has strong group healing ability and percentage blood recovery, which can increase the survival time of teammates on blood-loss maps.
The lich that Sun Wukong transformed into was exactly the same as her own lich card, and she even stood next to the lich on purpose.
Audience: “…”
Real or fake lich? Twins? What are these?!
Seeing Sun Wukong quietly move around and transform into the opposite card, Xie Mingzhe's fans had a premonition of what he was going to do, and the live broadcast room began to flood the screen with comments: "Is this a confusing tactic?" "This is the first time I found the Sun Wukong card so interesting, hahaha, two identical liches!" "I guess Sister Mengchen will be confused later!" "Excuse me, which one is my lich?"
After the 5-second hallucination ended, Shao Mengchen was indeed a little confused.
Why are there two identical Liches? Is she dazzled?
If she wants to distinguish between a real lich and a fake one, she just needs to use mental control to see who obeys her orders.
However, the most taboo thing in professional leagues is distraction. Even a distraction of 0.5 seconds is enough for the opponent to seize the opportunity.
Xie Mingzhe seized this opportunity. The moment the illusion ended, he immediately performed a series of operations.
Huang Gai appears and suddenly explodes.
Logically speaking, the card of Lao Huang Gai and the card of Sun Wukong have nothing in common. One is a character from the Three Kingdoms, and the other is a monster from Journey to the West. The only thing they have in common is that they are both "earth-related cards."
However, when Huang Gai committed suicide directly, his skill "Bitter Flesh" was triggered - for every percentage of blood volume reduced, the attack power of the designated teammate would be increased by a percentage - 100% blood loss and suicide, the attack increased for the teammate is 100%, double!
This is even more terrifying than the bonus of Tang Monk's Tightening Curse.
Sun Wukong, whose attack bonus is doubled, immediately transforms and takes out the weapon in his hand - the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
The Shadow Team suffered another round of health reduction from the Dream Bubble Map, and the Card's health was around 50% at this time. Shao Mengchen was just about to command the Lich to use his ultimate skill to recover health, but Sun Wukong hit the Lich with one stick and killed him instantly!
This terrifying attack power stunned the audience.
Killing a high-health healing card in one blow is simply devastating!
He ran to the opposite side and transformed into a lich to confuse the opponent. After killing the real lich with a stick, Sun Wukong activated his skill Fighting Cloud and teleported back to his own camp as if nothing had happened.
The audience was full of admiration: "He traveled a long way to transform and disguise himself, and was able to escape unscathed after beating his opponent to death with one blow. That's amazing!" "I thought Azhe didn't have any output cards in his deck today and had to drag it out. It seems I was wrong. Sun Wukong's one card can counter three cards of others!" "Huang Gai and Sun Wukong are so effective together. I really admire Azhe's card selection!"
Fans of course took the opportunity to praise Xie Mingzhe. What was rare was that Tang Muzhou did not hide his admiration in the backstage. He smiled and commented: "Abandoning the Tang Monk system and only using Sun Wukong as the core of the attack is indeed a better choice on today's map."
Although Tang Seng's linkage system is powerful, the triggering conditions are too harsh, not to mention that the opponent has been prepared. If you deliberately don't attack Tang Seng, or control Tang Seng's health so that he can't lose 20% of his health to trigger the linkage, the power of this deck cannot be exerted.
However, Sun Wukong is a very strong core output card with high damage, flexible movement of Jindou Cloud, and 72 transformations to confuse opponents. It can be matched with any lineup.
When combined with Huang Gai, who can increase the attack power of his teammates by exploding himself, Sun Wukong's attack power can be increased to the extreme, as evidenced by the fact that he can kill the opponent's half-health card in one blow. More importantly, Huang Gai sacrifices himself to increase the attack power of his teammates, not just for a period of time, but permanently.
——Do you think it’s worth sacrificing a card in exchange for Sun Wukong’s permanent double attack?
This is a question that many experts are considering.
The Shadow Lich was killed instantly. Although Shao Mengchen was very depressed, she quickly adjusted her mentality and continued to speed up the pace of attack.
All of a sudden, the two sides exchanged skills and the number of cards decreased sharply!
Chen Xiao and Yu Ke brought all group attack cards, which crippled the Shadow Team's cards. However, Xie Mingzhe only brought one single attack card, Sun Wukong, today, and the rest were support and control cards.
After his teammates laid the groundwork, Xie Mingzhe once again controlled Sun Wukong's Cloud of Duel to teleport to the center of the opponent's formation. This time, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand turned into a giant weapon more than three meters high and landed vertically on the ground.
When the stick hits, even the ground is shaking!
Sun Wukong's attack bonus is doubled, and the damage caused by the golden hoop group attack form is also quite terrible -
With just one move, he instantly killed all five cards on the opponent's side!
Shao Mengchen was terrified. He never expected Xie Mingzhe to hit him like this.
A single-core output card can deal such high damage? !
All of the Shadow Team's healing cards were killed, but Nirvana's cards had a healthy amount of health. Nirvana won the second game without a doubt.
From the beginning, the auxiliary cards Li Wan, Pangu, and Shennong disrupted the rhythm just right, dragging the battle until all the shadow cards were exhausted, and then releasing the auxiliary Huang Gai, who exploded to permanently increase Sun Wukong's attack...
At this time, no one could stop Sun Wukong!
With double attack bonus, Sun Wukong is simply invincible. However, his Cloud Fighting Technique is so agile that you can't catch him. Sun Wukong killed 6 cards in a row on the front of the Shadow Team and completely defeated them!
Fans in the live broadcast room were so excited, especially the male fans who liked the bloody battles. They left messages one after another, saying: "Sun Wukong is the coolest output card I have ever seen!" "Transformation, teleportation, one stick to kill a single card, the stick becomes bigger and can directly kill 5 cards on the opponent. Azhe's Sun Wukong is so smooth and handsome!" "Six cards in one game, who can stop Sun Wukong's explosion??"
When the earth-based decks first appeared, Zhu Bajie's outstanding performance and his constant pursuit of wives made it a hot topic on the Internet. At that time, many people ignored the Sun Wukong card, thinking that it was just an ordinary single output card.
Until today, everyone discovered...
Sun Wukong is the strongest single-core output card in Xie Mingzhe's deck!
A single-core card, that is to say, he does not rely on the linkage system of Zhu Bajie and Tang Seng at all. When he joins the other lineups in the form of a single card, he can still turn the situation around with his strong personal ability!
The treatment that Sun Wukong receives in the lineup is simply that of a VIP star. His teammates protect him, lower the health of his opponents to create opportunities for him, and are even willing to commit suicide to increase his attack, so that he can burst out and kill his opponents in seconds.
Facts have proved that Sun Wukong will not let his teammates down.
Wu Yue said excitedly: "Sun Wukong is so cool! In one match, he killed 6 cards of the opponent in seconds. This is the highest record of single card kills in this league! The second place is Gui Sirui's Ghoul, who killed 5 cards of the opponent in a burst in the late stage."
Liu Chen said: "It seems that Sun Wukong is also a late-stage single-core card similar to Ghoul and Dragon King. His basic attack is not high, but his skill mechanism is very well designed. He can really exert his power after his attack is increased. Relying on the flexible skill mechanism, he can come and go without a trace and kill the opponent directly. Sun Wukong is a super combat card that we have overlooked. Today, he has truly demonstrated his strength!"
In fact, this was also Xie Mingzhe's original intention when he designed Sun Wukong.
The linkage between the master and the apprentice in Journey to the West seems very strong, but the core starting point of that system lies in Zhu Bajie. The linkage between the master and the apprentice is also initiated by Zhu Bajie who first recites the lines "Master has been captured by the monster", and Sun Wukong will lose a lot of limelight to Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong's strongest point is this single-core system. When his teammates protect him and increase his attack to the maximum, he is the real Monkey King who makes his opponents tremble in fear!
Tang Seng's Tightening Curse increases attack by 80% and reduces defense by 80%, which is not the strongest bonus. The Professional Alliance has a limit on attack bonus, and the maximum bonus is 100%, which is double - and among all Xie Mingzhe's auxiliary cards, only Huang Gai can add 100% attack.
That's why Xie Mingzhe paired Huang Gai and Sun Wukong, who had nothing in common at all, together to allow Sun Wukong to unleash his strongest strength.
This is the skill of commanding and deploying troops.
Chen Qianlin was amazed when Xie Mingzhe arranged this deck. He didn't expect that his young apprentice was so smart. From a completely messed up deck, he chose this lineup that was most suitable for dealing with the "Dream Bubble" map.
Sun Wukong's strongest auxiliary card is Huang Gai, which adds 100% attack and allows Sun Wukong to kill the opponent instantly!
After the match, Sun Wukong quickly became a hot topic among netizens. Compared to Zhu Bajie's funny appearance, Sun Wukong's super fighting ability has won the love of more male fans. This kind of explosion card is particularly cool to watch! For a while, various emoticons such as "Sun Wukong's transformation", "real and fake twins", and "I'll beat you to death with one stick" were all over the Internet, and Sun Wukong's name even spread outside the circle.
At the same time, the masters of the professional league are also thinking seriously.
Did everyone underestimate Xie Mingzhe?
Not only can he play with all kinds of strange new cards, but even if he randomly selects a deck from old cards, he can find the best solution. In previous games, Nirvana relied on new decks, and even if he won, it felt like "taking shortcuts". But today's game relied on command, details and deck layout. Nirvana did not take out any new cards, all old cards, and randomly selected a lineup, but defeated the Shadow Team on the most difficult "Dream Bubble" map.
Xie Mingzhe's talent for deploying troops was first revealed in this game. The masters truly realized that if Xie Mingzhe continued to improve like this, Nirvana might be able to rush into the finals in one go? !
