The league stipulates that before the start of the team competition, all major clubs must publicly display their decks to ensure the fairness of the playoff team competition. This also tacitly allows that during the doubles and individual competitions, cards can still be made and new hidden cards can be brought out.

The rules of the doubles competition are that each player brings 10 cards to the game, 8 cards visible and 2 cards hidden. There is no limit to the number of cards each player can operate and they can be distributed freely.

Normally, each player has 5 cards. If it is an attacker and an assistant, like the combination of Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan, the distribution is 6, 4 or even 7, 3, because doubles games do not require too many assistant cards.

Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan's decks were matched by Brother Chen. He had made a lot of dark plant cards recently, and with the previous cards, they were more than enough for a two-player match. However, Chen Xiao thought: "My output cards include dark plants, and the auxiliary cards should be selected from the cards made by Azhe. I am better at attacking cards, and the auxiliary cards I make are not as comprehensive as Azhe's."

This is also a personal style. The output cards made by Chen Xiao are very strong. The plant cards such as Black Mage, Vampire Ivy, Black Rose, etc. all have explosive output. But he doesn't have so many ideas when making auxiliary cards, unlike Xie Mingzhe, whose imagination breaks through the stars and makes all kinds of strange auxiliary cards.

Club decks can be shared. The alliance has no restrictions on whether the card maker is a player himself. As long as there is no copyright dispute, cards from the same club can be used freely. Xie Mingzhe naturally has no objection and simply said, "Brother Chen, you can choose whatever you want. I have asked Sister Chi Qing to find materials to upgrade all the cards I made recently. I have copied several sets as backup."

Chen Xiao said: "I will try to pick character cards that Qin Xuan is more proficient in operating. We will still use a one-wave strategy to make quick decisions. Qin Xuan should bring more strong control cards, and one protection card is enough."

Control and attack for a while, then burst out to kill the opponent's Key card in seconds, this is the style that Chen Xiao is better at.

Xie Mingzhe is different. He and Yu Ke form a double output combination, and their playing style is more varied. They can bring more output cards to quickly clear the field, or bring auxiliary cards to slowly wear down the opponent. After discussing the specific decks with his master, Xie Mingzhe first came up with a few simple combinations, and then adjusted them according to the opponent.

At the same time, Star Club.

Bai Xu stared at the game schedule with a very complicated expression.

Yi Tianyang sat down next to him and asked with a smile, "Why? Did you see that Xie Mingzhe was in Group A with us and you don't have the confidence to beat him?"

Bai Xu immediately pulled a long face and said coldly: "Are you kidding me? How could I lose to him?"

Yi Tianyang: “…”

Can't you change your habit of talking too much before the game? I had a chance to win, but now that you say that, there's really no hope.

Seeing Yi Tianyang rubbing his brows in pain, Bai Xu's ears turned slightly red, and he argued: "What I mean is that although Xie Mingzhe's personal strength is okay, Yu Ke's personal strength is not that strong. You can defeat them against Yu Ke!"

He then took out his computer, opened the card display cabinet for the game, and said confidently, "I have made a lot of new cards recently, which can be used. When the time comes, I will put two sure-kill cards in the hidden deck to specifically target Xie Mingzhe. We still have a chance of winning."

Yi Tianyang said earnestly: "Just do your best. The individual and doubles events in the second half of the year will be considered as training. We should focus on next year's season. Don't have too high hopes, so you won't be too disappointed then."

Bai Xu was depressed: "Can you please stop talking in the philosophical dialectical way that Pei Jingshan does? You keep saying this every day. I'm not a child. You should understand that I'm your boss now!"

Yi Tianyang held back his laughter and thought: Aren’t you just a child?

On the surface, he pretended to be obedient and said, "I understand, Boss Bai."

Bai Xu: “…”

What a bad luck! Why was he grouped with Xie Mingzhe? Moreover, this great player who was hired with a lot of money seems unreliable.

Fenghua Club.

Zhou Xiaoqi had obvious dark circles under her eyes from the last few days. Seeing how hard she worked, Zhen Man couldn't help but say distressedly, "Xiaoqi, you're facing Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke in your first match. I know you're under a lot of psychological pressure, but you don't need to push yourself too hard. Relax a little so you can show your strength. You're too tense."

Zhou Xiaoqi's face turned pale as she thought: I can't be so relaxed! This is my debut show, and I have to meet Xie Mingzhe, this big devil!

Her partner Liu Ran was much calmer and said calmly, "Xie Mingzhe is indeed very strong, but this is a doubles competition. He and Yu Ke have only been partners for less than half a year. We have been training doubles together since we joined Fenghua for a year and a half. In terms of tacit understanding, our cooperation is definitely better than theirs, so we also have a chance of winning."

"Well said." Tang Muzhou's voice echoed in the training room. Everyone turned around and saw him walking in wearing a casual outfit with a faint smile on his face. He looked in a good mood. "Azhe is very strong individually, but a doubles match requires coordination. You don't have to worry too much. It's a big taboo to be afraid of your opponent before the game starts."

He looked at Zhou Xiaoqi, who immediately clenched his fists and said firmly: "I know about Tang Shen. I am not afraid of him. I am just worried that he will take out some strange cards again, so I want to be more fully prepared."

Tang Muzhou nodded in appreciation and said, "You are right. The weakness of this combination is Yu Ke. He is not as strong as Ah Zhe. When the time comes, you can kill Yu Ke's joker first, quickly establish an advantage in the number of cards, and then surround and kill Xie Mingzhe. Do you understand?"

The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Understood!"

Tang Muzhou immediately added: "Relax a bit, it's just a small group match, how come you treat it like a boss fight?"

Both of them: "..."

Isn't your junior fellow the most terrifying number one boss in the alliance? !

Zhen Man had always been in charge of the training of new recruits. Tang Muzhou came over and said a few words of comfort before leaving. Zhen Man called the two young guys over and talked them over in detail, and also taught them a lot of strategies on how to deal with Yu Ke.

——In the Xie-Yu combination, killing Yu Ke first seems to be the consensus of everyone.

However, they didn't know that at the Nirvana Club, Xie Mingzhe was discussing tactics with Yu Ke with a smile: "We have never played a doubles match in public before, and everyone doesn't know our cooperation mode. Others will definitely kill your joker first, thinking that you are easy to bully. Xiao Ke, you know this, right?"

Yu Ke nodded: "I know! You should pick the weak ones. They must think I am weaker and want to kill me first."

He still has this self-awareness. His level is indeed not as good as Xie Mingzhe. During the recent team training, his winning rate against Xie Mingzhe was at most 35% - Ah Zhe's tactical thinking is too flexible, while he only knows one routine.

In a team match, everyone knows that they should attack the opponent's weaknesses. The same is true for two-person matches. The person in the combination who is easily defeated will become the priority target of everyone's fire.

Yu Ke is very clear that he is the "weaker" one in the double combination, but he is not discouraged. On the contrary, he has the confidence that "as long as I try my best, Azhe can lead me to victory without any effort."

Rather than believing in himself, he believes more in the outstanding teammate beside him!

Yu Ke quickly perked up and looked at Xie Mingzhe seriously: "Azhe, don't worry, I won't hold you back. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

This guy is very obedient, and Xie Mingzhe likes Xiao Ke for this reason. No matter what task he is assigned, he will not hesitate and just complete it seriously. Xie Mingzhe put his arm around his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Ke, listen carefully. I have an idea. Since the enemy will focus on killing you first, why don't we set a trap and use your joker as bait, and then..."

As Yu Ke listened, his eyes widened.

Damn, this is a brilliant plan!

Ah Zhe was so bad that he even felt a little sympathy for his next opponent. It felt like when you finally used all your skills to kill the boss in a dungeon, but the boss suddenly laughed and said, "You are so naive, my death is just bait, the one who comes after me is the real boss!"

Those two newcomers would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Yu Ke nodded excitedly: "No problem, I will fully cooperate. Let's practice this lineup well and try to surprise the audience in the first game!"
