Nirvana won the third game, and the score on the screen became 2:1, which meant that Nirvana took the lead in grabbing the match point of this game.
I never expected that the four members of Nirvana would be so awesome. The frustration on the faces of Nirvana's fans has disappeared, and they are all smiling. Many fans are discussing Lu Dongbin's Huangliang Dream skill, and some are discussing turning around to make Lu Dongbin's emoticon package - life is like a big dream, you don't need to be happy about what you get, and don't be too sad about what you lose.
Ye Zhu, who was watching the game in the backstage, looked at the man beside him and said with a complicated expression: "Brother Pei, the skill description of the Lu Dongbin card is very similar to your speaking style, right?"
Pei Jingshan often said such philosophical words, for example, if one person is targeted, that is called targeting, but if everyone is targeted, it is not called targeting; losing this game is to win better next time... Ye Zhu would have a splitting headache every time he heard him muttering, and felt that staying with Pei Jingshan would sublimate her soul.
After seeing the card description of Lu Dongbin, Ye Zhu's first reaction was: Is Xie Mingzhe going to become a philosopher too?
Hearing Ye Zhu say this, Pei Jingshan smiled slightly and clarified: "Lu Dongbin's design has nothing to do with me. However, I quite like Lu Dongbin's line, life is like a..."
Ye Zhu immediately interrupted him: "Brother Pei, I'm going to the toilet!"
Then Ye Zhu cleverly "ran away to pee".
Bai Xu was staring at Ye Zhu's swift back. It was the first time he noticed that Ye Zhu ran away so fast. Tang Muzhou chuckled and said nothing. Only Shan Lan had a tangled look on his face. He was thinking to himself: Don't be too sad about what you have lost? He lost 400,000 betting coins!
Shanlan has the habit of throwing in gambling coins before each game. The gambling coins from the official forum can be used to exchange for peripherals from major clubs. Shanlan has insisted on playing gambling over the years, winning more and losing less, and has saved a lot of capital. He uses most of the gambling coins to exchange for his master's signed postcards and signed posters, and then secretly collects them.
In fact, if he wanted Nie Yuandao's autograph, he only needed to ask for it, and Nie Yuandao would definitely sign hundreds of copies for him. He could also take any peripherals of the Judgment. However, the feeling of asking for something and getting it by betting on the coins are completely different. He is like a fan who uses betting coins to exchange for the peripherals of his idol and is particularly happy after getting them.
But for some reason, Shanlan kept making mistakes in his guesses this season, especially in Nirvana’s matches. Last time Chen Xiao played Tang Muzhou in a personal match, he guessed wrong and lost hundreds of thousands. Today’s third game was at the home court of the Temple of the Gods, and he thought, how could they lose at the home court of the Lingshen? So he bet 400,000 in one go, with odds of 1.2, and he could earn 80,000 if he guessed right.
When the "Temple of Light" map appeared, Shan Lan was secretly delighted. This was the map that Xie Mingzhe was least good at. The Temple of the Gods would definitely win, and he would definitely win this time. However, who would have thought that Nirvana would actually defeat the Temple of the Gods?
Seeing the score of 2:1 on the big screen, Shan Lan froze in his seat and turned into a statue.
A prompt popped up in the computer: The guess failed, and 400,000 guessing coins were deducted.
Shan Lan: “…”
Life is just a big dream? Why don't you be too sad about the loss? He is very sad now!
Nie Yuandao noticed that after the third round, his apprentice sat there in silence, looking very depressed. He immediately guessed the reason, suppressed his smile, and asked in a low voice: "Who did you vote for in the last round?"
Shan Lan blurted out: "The Temple of the Gods."
Nie Yuandao put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, then looked at him and said, "Whoever you vote for will lose."
Shan Lan: “…………” Whoever he votes for will lose, he is also desperate!
Nie Yuandao quickly followed up and said, "Next time you meet Nirvana in a match, don't play. I'll help you throw the ball."
"...Hmm." Shan Lan obediently handed the laptop to his master. Seeing that his master decisively bet all the remaining 600,000 betting coins on the Temple of the Gods, Shan Lan asked in confusion: "The fourth game is Nirvana's home court. Xie Mingzhe will definitely arrange some strange tactics at home. Nirvana's home court is notoriously difficult to play. How can Master think that the Temple of the Gods can win this game?"
Nie Yuandao looked at the big screen and said calmly: "You underestimated Ling Jingtang. He will not make the same mistake twice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the word "Pause" appeared on the big screen again.
——It was Ling Jingtang who called for a pause.
Wu Yue said excitedly: "After the first game, Nirvana's coach Chen Qianlin called a pause and extended the rest time to 10 minutes. Now it is Nirvana's match point. Ling Shen also called a pause. It seems that he needs more time to adjust his next strategy!"
Su Yang smiled and said, "Ling Jingtang has obviously realized Nirvana's strategy against them. If they don't adjust, the Temple of the Gods will be doomed in this game."
At this time, on the big stage.
Chen Qianlin walked up again and got straight to the point: "The fourth game is our home game. The map we prepared before was for Xu Xingtu and cannot be used. Ling Jingtang called for a pause, so we can use this little time to adjust."
Chen Xiao said: "Should we continue to use the three-way division strategy? We have won very smoothly with the three-way division strategy."
During a match, if a certain tactic works particularly well, it is common to use it a second time. Everyone is very familiar with the way of playing Three Points, and the coordination can be even better if it is played again. However, Chen Qianlin rejected this idea and said, "Ling Jingtang will not make the same mistake a second time. If we continue to use the Three Points map, this game is equivalent to giving him a free win."
Thinking of Ling Shen's strategy in the All-Stars, Xie Mingzhe nodded in agreement: "Master is right, Ling Jingtang must have discovered our strategy against Ye Suqian. He should make major tactical adjustments, and we must also change the map and tactics."
Chen Qianlin looked at the two of them and asked, "Think carefully, what other maps can limit Ling Jingtang's output of cards?"
Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe looked at each other and said in unison: "Tongquetai?"
Chen Qianlin smiled: "Yeah, just as I thought."
The design idea of the Three Kingdoms series map, Bronze Sparrow Terrace, adopts the legend of "Bronze Sparrow Spring Deep Locks Up Two Qiaos". This map has a wide scene and a magnificent momentum. The setting in the competition is also very special - there are two iron cages on the high Bronze Sparrow Terrace. Every once in a while, the cards with the highest output on both sides will be automatically imprisoned. Imprisonment is equivalent to exile. The imprisoned cards can no longer participate in the battle.
The explosive output of the Temple of the Gods depends on Ling Jing Tang. If the map locks up his weapon cards, the output of the Temple of the Gods will be greatly reduced. Ye Suqian's core tactics to protect Ling Jing Tang's output will naturally fail.
***
At the same time, the Temple of the Gods.
Although the next game was match point for the opponent, Ling Jingtang still had a smile on his face. He patted Ye Suqian on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't think too much. Winning or losing a game is normal. Just do your best."
Ye Suqian felt very guilty about losing the second game. At the critical moment, his Memory Goddess's attack speed was a few tenths of a second slower than Lu Dongbin's Dream, causing Nirvana's card to rewind and recover health. It was his responsibility that the Memory Goddess failed to kill Shennong in one second.
However, Ling Jingtang's whisper of comfort made him feel much better. He also knew that now was not the time to reflect, so he quickly cheered up and said, "In the fourth game, do you think they will continue to use the three-point world strategy?"
Ling Tang shook his head in astonishment: "Chen Qianlin would not use the same tactic twice in a row. I guess it is the Bronze Sparrow Terrace."
Ye Suqian was stunned: "Tongquetai?"
All the major clubs have carefully studied all the maps of Nirvana this season. Ye Suqian certainly knows the setting of the Bronze Sparrow Terrace. After listening to Ling Jingtang's words, he immediately figured it out: "Imprison your weapon card and completely cut off the output rhythm of the Temple of the Gods?"
Ling Jingtang nodded: "This is also one of the best solutions to deal with us. If in the next round, Nirvana really uses the Bronze Bird Terrace to imprison my high-output cards, I have an idea that requires your cooperation, Xiaoye..."
***
During the 10-minute break, both sides were intensively preparing their tactics.
When the time is up, the fourth game begins.
Nirvana's home ground, submission map: Tongquetai. Mode: light and dark card mode.
A smile appeared on Ling Jingtang's lips.
Chen Qianlin knew him, but he also knew Chen Qianlin. In the last game, Nirvana had obviously guessed the "Temple of Light" map and made a detailed deck layout; in this game, he also guessed Nirvana's "Bronze Bird Terrace" map and came up with a counterattack strategy.
However, tactical layout is only a premise. The key to winning or losing the game still lies in the on-the-spot performance.
In the last round, Xie Mingzhe played a rhythm at a critical moment, and the tacit cooperation of the four players led to a beautiful counterattack. In this round, Ling Jingtang also showed his full concentration——
During the card-revealing stage, Xie Mingzhe was quite surprised. The original 8 gods and 8 weapons of the Temple of the Gods became 11 gods and 5 weapons. The proportion of the cards was greatly adjusted. All the auxiliary cards were replaced with god cards, and the weapon auxiliary cards were completely removed.
Xie Mingzhe was a little confused: "There are only 5 auxiliary cards among the 16 cards shown. If Ye Suqian is the one who operates the auxiliary cards, it is unlikely that Xu Hang will put all his cards in the dark..." He paused, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "In this round, could it be that Xu Hang operated the auxiliary cards and Ye Suqian lost?!"
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "It seems so."
Xu Hang is a professional support and has never played a loss. The cards shown so far are all Protoss. If Ye Suqian is in charge, Xu Hang will have no cards to use. It is impossible that all 4 hidden cards are his cards. Ling Jingtang will definitely keep hidden cards. Everyone is not familiar with Ye Suqian, so the biggest possibility is that Ye Suqian turned to a loss in this game.
Xie Mingzhe reacted quickly and guessed Ling Jingtang's strategic adjustment. He also made adjustments immediately, saying, "Ye Suqian will operate the God Card to cooperate with Ling Jingtang to explode. The three players of the Temple of the Gods will output at the same time. We will also change our hidden cards to output cards to fight violence with violence. Let the Bronze Bird Terrace imprison Ling Shen's weapons, and we will focus on Ye Suqian's output cards!"
Xie Mingzhe's strategy was actually correct. With the weapons imprisoned at Tongquetai, Brother Chen, Xiao Ke and him teamed up to kill Ye Suqian's output. Since Ye Suqian had little experience in big competitions, he naturally couldn't withstand the concentrated fire of the three of them.
However, when the actual combat began, Xie Mingzhe discovered that Ling Jingtang had set a trap for them.
After the match started, Ling Jingtang first used weapon cards to deal damage, with extremely violent output. However, at the moment when Tongquetai was about to imprison the card, the auxiliary card operated by Xu Hang suddenly added a buff to the "Goddess of Destruction" operated by Ye Suqian, which instantly increased the output by 50%. The Goddess of Destruction attacked with a group attack, and the output immediately exceeded that of Ling Jingtang's Wushuang Sword.
——The Bronze Sparrow Terrace imprisoned the Goddess of Destruction.
——Ye Suqian deliberately blocked the map's imprisonment effect for Ling Jingtang.
Chen Qianlin, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was impressed by Ling Jingtang's strategy of "teammate blocking the knife".
Ye Suqian and his teammates did not have a good understanding of each other, but Xu Hang had played with Ling Jingtang for five years and had an excellent sense of the overall situation. This allowed Xu Hang to take the initiative to find the right rhythm and add an attack buff to Ye Suqian's god card. After the god card used a wave of skills, it would be imprisoned by the Bronze Sparrow Platform due to its instantaneous burst being too high. This freed up Ling Jingtang's weapon card, allowing him to output without any worries.
Nirvana also adopted a similar strategy. Xiao Ke's explosive ghost cards, such as Gongsun Jiuniang, were imprisoned after using a set of skills, leaving Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe with cards with higher endurance to continue fighting.
Both sides calculated the time the map would hold the cards, and sent in some less important output cards.
Seven minutes into the game, the number of cards imprisoned in Tongquetai has exceeded 6, and the output competition between the two sides is becoming more and more intense!
In the last big group battle, the God cards of All the Gods launched a group attack at the same time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. However, the number of death cards of All the Gods was one less than that of Nirvana. In the end, it was this one-card difference that allowed All the Gods to win the fourth game.
2:2!
Shan Lan, who was watching the game from the backstage, worshipped him: "Master, your prediction is so accurate. Ling Shen really managed to win the game."
In the fourth round at Nirvana's home court, the odds of the Temple of the Gods winning were as high as 1.5. Nie Yuandao invested 600,000 betting coins, which suddenly doubled to 900,000, earning 300,000. Seeing his apprentice's happy look, Nie Yuandao smiled slightly, handed the computer back to him, and said, "I won't guess the final round. I can't guess it right this time. The endless mode is the first time in this league."
The playoffs are a "five-game, three-win" format. Each team has two home games. The home team can choose their own map and mode. In today's game, both teams chose the dark card mode at home. After all, everyone is more familiar with the dark card mode.
However, if the first four games are tied at 2:2, the fifth and final game will have a random map and force the game into endless mode.
Wu Yue said: "In today's match, both sides are evenly matched. The current score is 2:2, and we have entered the deciding round!"
Su Yang also became excited: "Let's look forward to the final round of the endless mode showdown!"
