The last match of yesterday was over at 10pm. Today, most of the matches in the evening were delayed, so the last match didn't start until 10:30. Bai Xu was so sleepy waiting in the backstage that he even took a nap on the massage chair at Yi Tianyang's suggestion. When he received the notification from the staff, he was still rubbing his eyes, still sleepy.

Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke were standing in the aisle on the other side of the stage. They saw Xiaobai rubbing his eyes from a distance and couldn't help laughing in their hearts. The young boy had naturally curly hair and fair skin, just like a little teddy bear. He looked cute on the outside, but he was extremely strong in fighting. He had obviously just woken up and looked groggy, as if he had walked into the wrong set.

Yi Tianyang beside him patted his shoulder helplessly: "Wake up, the competition is about to begin."

Bai Xu rubbed his eyes and yawned, and noticed that someone seemed to be looking at him. He turned around and met Xie Mingzhe's smiling eyes. Bai Xu looked at Xie Mingzhe from a distance and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Mingzhe asked: "Did you grow up eating 'Kawaii'?"

Bai Xu was stunned, looking confused: "What is Kaaiduo? I have never eaten it."

Yi Tianyang suppressed his laughter and said, "He is praising you for being cute."

Is this a compliment? But why does it sound so sarcastic when it comes out of Xie Mingzhe's mouth? Bai Xu's face turned red and white, and he said to Xie Mingzhe in a serious tone: "Don't talk to me before the game. Do you think I will fall for your trick?" Then he turned his head and ignored Xie Mingzhe.

Xie Mingzhe was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his heart was hurt. At this moment, he heard the host in the front court say loudly, "Let us invite the contestants of today's final match - Xie Mingzhe, Yu Ke, Bai Xu, and Yi Tianyang from Group A to the stage!"

During the break just now, they were waiting backstage. Xie Mingzhe was bored so he made a joke with Bai Xu. Until the staff gave the four of them a gesture to enter, the four of them quickly adjusted their expressions, walked onto the stage, sat on their swivel chairs, put on their helmets and began to debug the equipment.

Wu Yue said: "Tonight is really strange. Each game lasts a long time. The last game didn't start until half past ten. I hope the audience won't get sleepy, because this game will definitely be exciting!"

Liu Chen said: "I believe everyone knows Xie Mingzhe, Yu Ke and Bai Xu. We would like to introduce Yi Tianyang. Tianyang used to be the first assistant in the league. He terminated his contract due to academic problems and went to study for a master's degree. His sudden return now is quite unexpected, but I believe that his joining will definitely be a timely help to the Star Team!"

Su Yang also nodded affirmatively: "I have heard about this player from my disciples. In the semi-finals of the eighth season, Liushuang City lost to Dark Night City because of Yi Tianyang's strong control of the game. He is a very calm player with a strong sense of the overall situation. He and Bai Xu can make up for Bai Xu's lack of awareness."

Wu Yue said: "The Star Team's cards are very unique. They are all made of various cosmic materials, such as Pisces, Leo and other twelve constellation cards, as well as special cards such as cosmic wormholes, space rifts, and cosmic sandstorms. What cards they will bring out today is worth everyone's anticipation!"

Liu Chen said: "Both players are ready, let's get into the game!"

The home and away games are arranged in rotation. In the first game of the last match, Xie Mingzhe played away, and in today's match, the first game is at home.

The home team has the right to choose the map, and Xie Mingzhe quickly submitted the map - Blood Pond Hell.

This is the first scene map made by Qin Xuan, which was made long before Nirvana was officially established. The map environment is gloomy and terrifying, with blood pools all over the scene. There is red mist in the pools, and there are many skulls and white bones. The scene effect is that all cards in the blood pool lose health according to a percentage every second, which is considered a negative buff map.

"The scene blood loss buff cannot be dispelled by control-releasing skills. The pace of this type of map is particularly fast! The scene blood loss is a great threat to the cards. Both sides must resolve the opponent's cards as quickly as possible. If the opponent dies before all of your own cards die, you win."

"Bai Xu's Star Card can be used to teleport. Once a few cards are teleported at a critical moment, Xie Mingzhe will be unable to attack. Bai Xu can then use the card difference advantage to win the game in the end! What do you think, Yangshen?"

The two commentators looked at Su Yang, who smiled and said, "Actually, this map has no advantage when playing against Bai Xu's Star Deck. On the contrary, it is a disadvantage, because the opponent's teleportation play is more flexible, and the cards are not easily killed by concentrated fire. If Xie Mingzhe's cards cannot keep up with the opponent's teleportation speed, they may be quickly killed by the opponent's long-range attack cards and the scene to lose health."

It's a very simple logic. If you stay still, you will lose blood by the blood pool hell, and I can still hit you from a distance; but I only lose blood by the scene, and you can't hit me if I teleport everywhere, so your blood loss speed will definitely be faster than mine.

Xie Mingzhe is not a fool. He would not use a map that is advantageous to the opponent but disadvantageous to himself. Therefore, Su Yang thought for a moment and added: "I think Xie Mingzhe chose this map because he must have a backup plan. He must have made some arrangements for Bai Xu's transmission flow."

"Senior Su Yang is right. Let's take a look at the decks of both sides!"

After the map is released, both sides will show 8 cards at the same time.

The cards Bai Xu brought included Star Troopers' classic cards, Cosmic Wormhole and Space Rift, as well as two group attack cards, Gemini and Leo, two single attack cards, Scorpio and Sagittarius, and two super strong protection cards, Libra and Pisces.

Su Yang commented: "Cosmic Wormhole and Space Rift are functional teleportation cards, leaving 2 group attacks, 2 single attacks, and 2 supports, with only 4 output cards. In a normal match, if you only bring 4 output cards, you may face the embarrassment of crazy output but not being able to kill the opponent. But this match is different, because the blood loss in the Blood Pool Hell scene can make up for the lack of output. Bringing cards like this should be to rely on a balanced lineup, strong protection, and flexible teleportation to drag the opponent into a dead end."

Ye Zhu, who was watching the game from the backstage, couldn't help but ask, "Is this deck put together by Tian Yang? It's so carefully thought out."

Pei Jingshan nodded: "He should have adjusted it according to the scene map. 2 assists and 2 teleports will greatly increase the survival rate. In a negative map where the whole scene loses blood, as long as the card survives, it wins."

Ye Zhu stared at the big screen expectantly: "I wonder what deck A-Zhe will choose?"

During the game, both sides will announce their cards at the same time. It is impossible to see the other side's deck and then adjust it. Only 2 hidden cards can be adjusted. But in order to facilitate the audience's understanding, the big screen will show the cards of both sides for analysis. After Bai Xu's 8 cards are revealed, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke's 8 cards are also arranged in order on the screen.

When the last card was revealed, the audience cheered in surprise, and Wu Yue's voice became louder: "What's going on? There's not a single character card?"

Liu Chen said: "Yes, this is... a lineup of all jokers?"

Audience: “????”

The lineup of all scary-style jokers made me think I was watching a game from the Hell Club.

Anyone who has been following this league knows that Xie Mingzhe likes to use character cards. He has previously used the Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong monster card system, but in 95% of the games he controls character cards.

However, in today's deck, all 8 cards are jokers?

Su Yang was also very curious and said, "Yu Ke can't control 8 joker cards by himself, so Xie Mingzhe must also control a few of them. The current lineup includes Gongsun Jiuniang, Qiao Sheng, Liancheng, Nie Xiaoqian, Meng Po, and Judge. These are all joker cards that have been seen before, but there are two new cards that appear for the first time in this game - Wei Zheng and Du Liniang."

The new cards that appeared for the first time in the league had a "new" logo in the upper right corner, which was very obvious. These two new cards immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Su Yang carefully read the skill descriptions -

Wei Zheng, skill 1 "Good Deeds Go Well", Wei Zheng starts the reward time. In the next 10 seconds, the more HP our auxiliary cards restore to teammates, the more rewards we will get. 10% of the HP restored will be converted into rewards. Cards that receive rewards can distribute the rewards at will. If distributed to a friendly party, the HP will be restored by the same amount; if distributed to an enemy, the same amount of damage will be caused.

Skill 2: "Do Good and Accumulate Virtue". Wei Zheng advocates doing more good deeds and hates evil. Once he is attacked by an opponent, he will completely eliminate the opponent's chance of receiving any reward - the target attacking Wei Zheng will be immune to all buffs and blood-adding effects in this game.

Du Liniang's skill 1 "Dream in the Garden" causes enemy targets within range to fall into a dreamlike hallucination and lose themselves for 5 seconds. If attacked, they will wake up immediately; skill 2 "Spring is So Beautiful" causes friendly targets within range to recover health equal to 10% of Du Liniang's health per second for 10 seconds.

Du Liniang is a typical control + treatment card. It doesn't look very innovative. Wei Zheng's skill description is rather complicated. The audience didn't understand it at first, but Su Yang pondered it carefully and his eyes lit up immediately: "The combination of Wei Zheng and Du Liniang is very effective when they appear together. This is a 'reward and punishment' system. After Wei Zheng starts the reward time, Du Liniang will add blood. The blood added during this period can be converted into a team reward in proportion. Whether it is used to restore blood to teammates or to attack opponents, it is very flexible!"

Wu Yue also reacted and exclaimed: "It seems that Ah Zhe made more jokers than we thought. Today, he actually put out a lineup of all jokers. I wonder if the hidden cards will also be jokers?"

The hidden card is of course also a joker, because the key card Xie Mingzhe put in the hidden card today is "Five-Direction Ghost Emperor".

The Ghost Emperor will open five ghost gates in the east, south, west, north, and center. The high-speed channel in the ghost world is only effective for ghost cards. If it is an endless team battle, Yu Ke will control a large number of ghost cards to move on the high-speed channel, which will maximize the advantage of this card. However, in a two-player match, if Yu Ke only takes 5 ghost cards and Xie Mingzhe takes 5 character cards, then half of the cards will not be able to enjoy the speed bonus of the Ghost Emperor channel.

This was the decision made after careful discussion between Xie Mingzhe and Chen Qianlin before the competition.

The all-ghost lineup means that after the high-speed channel of the "Five Ghost Emperors" is opened, the remaining 9 cards can enjoy the bonus of movement speed. Only in this way can they catch up with the teleporting star card at the fastest speed of four-wheel drive.

Yi Tianyang frowned slightly when he saw this, he quickly analyzed Wei Zheng's reward and punishment style of play in cooperation with Du Liniang, when Du Liniang used her skills to add blood, Wei Zheng used the reward at the same time, so the blood added during this period of time could be turned into a bounty pool as the basis for subsequent blood addition or attack.

As for Wei Zheng's second skill, as long as he is attacked, the card attacking him will not have any buff, which means that when an area attack card hits Wei Zheng, it itself cannot be healed.

Originally, Yi Tianyang wanted to bring two healing cards to slow down the pace, but now it seems that Xie Mingzhe brought this deck, which clearly means he won't be able to slow down the pace.

Yi Tianyang thought for a moment, and immediately replaced the two treatment cards that were originally placed in the hidden deck with two new cards.

Bai Xu was a little sleepy at first, but when he saw Xie Mingzhe's all-joker lineup, he was suddenly startled and completely awake. He couldn't help but complain: "Why are all the decks today full of jokers?" Seeing Yi Tianyang adjusting the hidden cards and replacing all the healing cards, he asked in confusion: "Not bringing any healing cards, is this okay?"

Yi Tianyang said calmly: "Let's give it a try. It's useless to bring a healing card. Besides, our healing ability of the healing card is not as good as Du Liniang with the bonus. We may even be targeted by Meng Po."

Bai Xu frowned in confusion: "I hate Meng Po. If she targets my teleportation card, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"

Yi Tianyang said: "Don't worry, I will control the transmission card."
