Xie Mingzhe's water battle displacement and control style of play amazed the audience, and the players watching the game in the backstage had complicated expressions when they saw the frozen picture after the game.
Ye Zhu stared blankly at Lu Zhishen who was carrying a big tree on the screen. After a long time, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, Tang Shen's tree is so miserable, was it directly pulled up..." He laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe. Bai Xu heard his laughter and said solemnly: "It's worthy of being a card made by Xie Mingzhe. The skills are more bizarre than each other!"
When other players make cards, their attack skills are all direct damage, and their control skills are also common control skills such as stun, freeze, paralysis, etc. Xie Mingzhe is different. He makes cards about love, pregnancy and childbirth, carrying wife on one's back, and pulling out trees. None of the cards he makes are normal!
Ye Zhu and Bai Xu both felt very sympathetic towards Tang Muzhou, while the other players were just taking pleasure in his misfortune - it was rare to see Tang Muzhou playing so fiercely in a competition, it was really true that "there is always someone stronger than you", Xie Mingzhe was definitely his nemesis.
Pei Jingshan touched his nose and whispered to Chen Xiao: "Look at Xie Mingzhe pulling out his tree, why do I want to laugh so much?"
Chen Xiao suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Well, this method of domestic violence is a bit special."
The Millennium Divine Tree is Tang Muzhou's famous card. It was hung on the card wall of the professional league as early as the fifth season when he won the individual championship. It has countless fans. In the past, every time the Millennium Divine Tree appeared, it was majestic. Once the ultimate move "Death Stranding" was released, the vines covering the sky and the earth were swept, and it was possible to kill all the opponent's cards in an instant.
However, today, the thousand-year-old sacred tree was actually carried roughly by Lu Zhishen and ran all the way?
This is simply unbearable!
Fans in the live broadcast room cried out for justice for the Millennium Sacred Tree: "How could such a dignified sacred tree be plucked out? Is there any justice in the world?" "Crazy monk, put it down!" "As a god-level card, the dignity of the Millennium Sacred Tree has long been lost..."
In the past, whenever the Thousand-Year Divine Tree was mentioned, fans thought this card was super majestic and domineering, and it was simply the king of wood cards. But now, when the Thousand-Year Divine Tree is mentioned, everyone can't help but think of all kinds of strange scenes - such as being snatched away by Zhu Bajie as a wife, giving birth to a Divine Tree baby, or being uprooted by Lu Zhishen...
A generation of legendary cards has fallen.
If the thousand-year-old sacred tree had consciousness, it would probably want to bite Xie Mingzhe to death.
At this time, Xie Mingzhe was smiling and high-fiving Yu Ke to celebrate the victory in the second game.
Before the game started, he was actually prepared to lose two games in a row. After all, his senior brother and Xu Changfeng were both stronger than them in terms of individual strength and coordination, and it was difficult to win a game against this combination.
But he still won the second game. In the final analysis, it was because he knew Tang Muzhou too well, and he used a counter-tactic, letting his senior brother use the instant death card to deal with the first hidden card that came out, and then took out the second hidden card to play displacement control. This tactic was very risky, but in the end it was proved that his choice was not wrong - to win by taking risks, a tactic that can win is a good tactic.
With only one decisive round left, Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and said to Yu Ke, "It's the last round, come on. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just show the results of your practice during this period."
Yu Ke nodded excitedly: "Yeah, I know!"
Before the game, Yu Ke was most worried that they would lose 0:2. Being crushed by a shaved head sounded tragic. Now that he has won a game, he feels relieved. Regardless of whether they win or lose the third game, at least it shows that he and Azhe can fight against the god combination! If they win, it's because of good luck and excellent performance. If they lose, it's nothing. After all, they have only been together for a short time, and there is still room for improvement, right?
Whatever Yu Ke thinks is written on his face. Xie Mingzhe sees his clear eyes, slightly raised mouth, and eager look, and knows that this guy has let go of all the pressure.
Xie Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xiao Ke's hand, and said, "Get ready."
Yu Ke nodded and put on the helmet beside him carefully.
In the commentary room, the three commentators commented on Lu Zhishen. Finally, Su Yang concluded: "Lu Zhishen's skill description is to pull up a designated tree card. Is there any need to ask who has the most tree cards in the alliance? This shows that Ah Zhe made this card to target his senior brother."
Wu Yue said with emotion: "Normally, the two of them have a good relationship like brothers. After each game, Tang Shen would hug Azhe and give him encouragement like a brother. But once they got to the competition venue, the two of them were tit-for-tat, and neither of them showed mercy. Just now, Tang Shen's expression was really helpless as he watched his own tree being plucked out."
Liu Chen said: "It shows that they are all very dedicated. Professional athletes letting off steam in the arena is the biggest insult to each other."
Wu Yue nodded: "I agree with this, so I believe that in the third and final game, both sides will definitely try their best. Let us look forward to the next game together!"
The deciding game officially begins.
According to the rules, the system will first randomly draw three maps, and each side will ban one map.
Fans were all looking forward to what map the system would give them today. As the countdown went from 10 to 1, thumbnails of three maps appeared on the live broadcast screen.
A hundred demons parade at night, endless snowfields, blazing flames and scorched earth.
The first "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" is a map of the Hell Club. It is a dimly lit night scene with many ghosts roaming around. Each wave of ghosts will bring different negative conditions to the entire map. It is a negative effect map that Gui Sirui likes very much.
The second "Endless Snowfield" comes from Liushuang City. It is a very beautiful snow scene, an endless wasteland with thick snow on the ground. All scene cards will be slowed down due to the influence of snow and cold weather, including attack speed, movement speed, skill release speed, etc. All speed-related data are forced to be reduced by 50%.
Fang Yu often uses this map to fight against clubs with many melee cards, slowly consuming the enemy with long-range slowdown control. This is also one of the slowest-paced maps in the Alliance map library. Once, Liushuang City and the Judge had a team battle in the "Endless Snowfield", which took a full 30 minutes to complete.
The third map, "Scorched Earth with Flames", has appeared in previous competitions and is more common in individual competitions. This map was developed by Nie Yuandao and is the most special among all maps. Most maps are designed to "affect all scene cards by XX", but the map effect of "Scorched Earth with Flames" does not affect the cards, but the player's mental strength. Under the burning flames, the mental strength decreases every second.
In the endless mode, there is no limit on the mental power to summon cards at will, but there are restrictions in individual and double competitions. The player's mental power is just enough to summon 7 or 10 cards. Once the mental power is reduced by the map, it will fall into the embarrassing situation of "I have the cards but can't summon them."
Xie Mingzhe was in a dilemma. To be honest, these three pictures were not easy to hit!
Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the demons have too many negative states. Once Tang Muzhou combines the negative effects of the map with the strong control of the meaty deck, he and Xiao Ke still have no power to fight back. Endless Snowfield, a map with an extremely slow pace, is a battle of operation and details, which is Fang Yu's best play. At this stage, isn't it courting death to compete with Tang Muzhou on details? The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him and Xiao Ke.
To sum up, the one-wave attack of scorched earth and flames may still work.
But, will senior brother keep this picture?
Xie Mingzhe felt a little uneasy.
The referee asked the two to draw lots to decide the ban order, and Xie Mingzhe drew the first ban order. He thought for a moment and banned the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" map to avoid being controlled by Tang Muzhou again.
Then it was Tang Muzhou's turn.
Wu Yue said: "Tang Muzhou will most likely ban 'Scorched Earth with Flames' and keep 'Endless Snowfield' to fight a slow-paced war of attrition. If they fight slowly, Xiao Ke will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Muzhou decisively banned the endless snowfield, leaving behind a blazing fire and scorched earth.
Wu Yue: “…”
Being slapped in the face for being the number one commentator, I always guessed Tang Shen’s ideas wrongly. It’s really tiring!
Su Yang smiled and said, "You can keep either Scorched Earth or Endless Snowfield. One is a fast-paced one that summons a large number of cards at the beginning, while the other is a slow-paced one that wastes time. From what I know, Tang Muzhou is a player with a very diverse style. He can handle both fast-paced and slow-paced maps with ease."
Liu Chen followed closely and said, "But the map of scorched earth and blazing flames has a great impact on the players' mental strength. Xie Mingzhe can't hide his hidden cards, so he has to summon them as soon as possible at the beginning of the game. This may have some impact on his tactical layout."
Xie Mingzhe likes to hide hidden cards, often hiding them until the very late stage and then suddenly summoning them out to surprise people. However, "Scorched Earth" will reduce mental strength every second. If he hides his hidden cards until the late stage, he will not be able to summon them at all.
Tang Muzhou left this map, which was a "quick cut through the Gordian knot" approach.
Xie Mingzhe knew what his senior was thinking, so he didn't dare to play tricks in the third game. It was obvious that keeping hidden cards to deal with Tang Muzhou would not work twice in a row. In the deciding game, he could only face off head-on, which was also the time that most tested the player's operation and awareness.
In terms of the deck, Lu Zhishen can no longer be used, so Xie Mingzhe simply takes out the three output cards of Yan Qing, Hua Rong, and Lin Chong. Wu uses this control card, and Xiao Ke takes out Qiao Sheng, Liancheng Ghost Card CP, as well as Gongsun Jiuniang and Nie Xiaoqian.
Su Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the announced deck: "All of them are old cards. Is this a way to deal with ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged?"
Liu Chen said: "I'm used to seeing Ah Zhe bring strange new cards to the game, so it's hard to adapt to the fact that he doesn't have any new cards this time."
Wu Yue agreed: "It feels really retro!"
Xie Mingzhe's idea was actually very simple - he wanted to take this opportunity to test the results of his training with Xiao Ke during this period.
Using hidden cards to win unexpectedly is indeed his usual routine, but he also knows that this routine cannot be used forever. Other masters are not stupid and will definitely guard against his hidden cards. Today, Tang Muzhou was fooled by him in the second game. It will not be so easy to use the "double hidden cards" strategy in the future. In the later stage of the competition, they know each other well. In the end, it is still a competition of operation and the awareness of randomness.
Xie Mingzhe happened to be practicing the Water Margin's output cards that required some operating skills recently. With Xiao Ke's output joker card, he had more output cards than ever before in this round. He also wanted to end the battle quickly and launch a violent attack.
Of course, a pure output lineup is a taboo in the game. Once controlled, the fragile output cards can easily collapse completely. So in addition to bringing Wu Yong to control the field, he plans to bring the other two hidden cards, the protection card, according to the opponent's lineup.
Tang Muzhou and Xu Changfeng's decks will also be announced soon.
In the previous round, the thousand-year-old sacred tree was pulled out, so Tang Muzhou simply didn't bring any tree cards this time - he directly brought 8 vines!
Ivy: All cards within the friendly range are linked together to share the damage; Clematis: Chain bind up to three designated targets to transfer damage; Green Ivy: Bind, paralyze and control a single target; Ivy: Split into three vines, quickly climb and entangle the designated target, bind the target and make it unable to move.
Xu Changfeng also brought vine cards, including the group attack cards "Asparagus" and "Million Hearts", both of which are large-scale vine strangulation. The single attack card "Climbing Rose" is a vine that quickly extends and sweeps the designated target, using the rose's thorns to cause critical damage; "Lingxiao" is an attached vine flower that can be tightly attached to the designated target and continuously absorb the target's health.
Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but say, "Tang Muzhou brought 8 vine cards this time. In the first game, he brought a succulent deck, in the second game, he brought a four-flower and four-tree deck, and in the third game, he brought all vines. Isn't Tang Muzhou too serious today? It turns out that he only gives VIP treatment to junior brothers."
Liu Chen said: "For fans, changing three decks in three games is a rare sight!"
Tang Muzhou told everyone: Having a lot of cards means you can be so willful.
——You destroy my flowers and pull up my trees. What are you going to do with me using my vines?
When Xie Mingzhe saw this, he quickly replaced his hidden cards.
He originally wanted to put Liu Bei and Hua Tuo to protect his own cards, but he saw that his senior brother's 8 vine cards were all control cards such as immobilization and binding, and did not have hard control such as confusion and freezing. So he changed his mind and put a fire attack duo in the dark cards - Zhou Yu and Lu Xun!
It’s been a long time since we last saw Chain Link and The Burning of Red Cliff.
Don't you want to tie them together? When the vines are tied together, it is especially convenient for the fire to spread.
——I will kill all your flowers, uproot your trees, and burn your vines. I will not let any of them go!
