After returning to the backstage, the four members of Nirvana were immediately surrounded by reporters. Before the start of the playoffs, no one thought that the team that entered the annual finals would be Nirvana, which ranked fourth in the group in the first half of the year. Most people were more optimistic about the referee team where Master Nie Lan and his apprentice were. As a result, Nirvana's perfect performance today gave the audience an unexpected surprise.

Nirvana fans on the Internet began to celebrate, and talented fans made a lot of animated pictures, especially the animated pictures of Sun Erniang's human meat buns and Nezha's family fighting each other. The number of reposts exceeded six figures and soon became the hot search again.

Every time Nirvana finishes a game, some of his cards will be on the hot search list, which has almost become a routine.

The reporters asked many questions about card design, and Xie Mingzhe patiently answered them all, until a female reporter asked, "In the finals, Nirvana's opponent will be the Fenghua team. Are you confident in facing off against your senior brother?"

Xie Mingzhe smiled slightly: "Of course. I have been looking forward to this game for a long time."

No need to say anything more, see you in the final, that was the promise they made to encourage each other, and they never thought that it would actually come true in the end. Now that they have come this far, they should try their best to leave everyone with an unforgettable and wonderful match.

After breakfast the next day, Chen Qianlin organized everyone to come to the conference room for pre-match analysis.

Fenghua's Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, Zhen Man and Shen An are all masters. Zhou Xiaoqi and Liu Ran, who are new to this season, are also quite strong. Especially after Zhou Xiaoqi was abused in the doubles match, after this period of adjustment, her water plant cards can also be added to the team battle. There is also the possibility of Fenghua changing players in the finals.

Chen Qianlin believes that to target Fenghua, one must start with the map and deck.

Fenghua has a variety of tactics, the most commonly used is the "cooldown flow", which controls multiple cards that reduce the cooldown time of the entire group, speeding up the cooldown time of Fenghua's card's ultimate move, and releasing more skills in a short period of time to establish an advantage. The second is the "ultimate control flow", which is mainly based on a meaty deck. One group control after another will make the opponent very annoyed.

The third is the "vine binding flow", which uses the characteristics of vine binding to immobilize/paralyze the opponent's key cards, quickly kill, and completely disrupt the opponent's formation; there are also "flower kite flow" and "flower stack poison flow", which mainly rely on the advantages of flower cards' long-range attacks to block the opponent's position and engage in a war of attrition. In addition, there is the "violent wave of group attack flow" with Shen An's fruit tree as the core, and the "assassination flow" with Zhen Man's snake card as the core and the other three assisting.

Looking at the entire professional league, Fenghua is undoubtedly the team with the richest tactics.

However, the emergence of Xie Mingzhe and the Nirvana Team in the eleventh season changed this situation.

Today's Nirvana is definitely comparable to Fenghua in terms of tactical richness. Moreover, Nirvana's card design is very novel. Sometimes, extreme single-card core and harvesting play can also play an amazing role in the league. For example, the record-breaking Pan Jinlian single-card harvesting battle, Guo Jia's deathrattle burst wave clearing, Sun Erniang meat bun clearing, etc.

The most terrifying thing about Nirvana is that even if the opponent is at a disadvantage in the early stages, he must never relax until the very last moment of the game. In the last few seconds, Xie Mingzhe might suddenly summon a clearing card and counterattack to turn defeat into victory.

The two sides are evenly matched in terms of decks, and with Chen Qianlin's understanding of his apprentice, Nirvana, as a new team, has great hope of facing a strong enemy like Fenghua.

Chen Qianlin suggested: "Tang Muzhou is very familiar with the map developed by our Nirvana. He will definitely study our map in his spare time. So, my idea for the finals is not to use Nirvana's map at home, but to use maps from other clubs to catch him off guard."

Chen Xiao lowered his head in thought. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "We used this trick last time when we had a refereeing match. Will it be effective if we use it again? Tang Muzhou will definitely be on guard against this, right?"

Chen Qianlin said: "If we use maps from other clubs, there will be a lot of maps to choose from. Even if he is prepared, he can't guess which one we will use."

Chen Xiao agreed: “That’s right.”

Xie Mingzhe looked at Chen Qianlin: "Master, do you have an idea?"

"Well, for this map, we'll use the Hell's map..."

When the coach said the name of the map, everyone's eyes widened in surprise, but Xie Mingzhe soon smiled and said, "Very good, this tactic has never been tried before, it's a good time to try it out!"

Chen Xiao also chuckled: "In the finals, it will definitely not work to use hidden cards to trick him. We should start with the details."

Xie Mingzhe also had the same idea. In previous competitions, he always kept hidden cards to trick his opponents, with a success rate of over 80%. He also used Pan Jinlian to kill 7 cards in a row to create a classic harvest game, but that was because his opponents were not familiar with his cards.

However, Tang Muzhou knew him very well, and besides, the entire Nirvana card pool had been made public at this time. Using hidden cards to trick others was fine, but to trick his senior brother - that would only dig a hole to bury himself.

In addition to the dark card mode, Nirvana also prepared an endless mode deck. In two weeks, they must make the most thorough tactical preparations to face the last and strongest opponent of this season.

***

Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the evening of November 20, Xie Mingzhe and his teammates finished training and lay down on the bed with their laptops in their arms. Tomorrow they would compete with their senior. He was both excited and nervous, and he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After all, in his mind, his senior was really strong, and had created many legends that were difficult to surpass. Moreover, his basic skills were taught by his senior.

He admired Tang Muzhou very much, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous when competing with his respected senior.

As a result, at this time, Tang Muzhou suddenly sent a text message: "How are the preparations going? Do you have another surprise for me, brother?"

Xie Mingzhe joked: "You want to spy on military secrets? Do you think I will reveal it?"

Tang Muzhou replied by voice: "We will finish all the games tomorrow. After the award ceremony, I will take you out to play. Last time we went to the beach, there were too many people and we didn't have enough fun. This time we will go out alone. Is there any place you want to go?"

The topic changed so quickly, like a tornado. Listening to the low and gentle voice beside his ear, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but smile: "Discussing where to travel before the game, you really have the leisure time!"

Tang Muzhou chuckled and said, "How about discussing with you which map to choose tomorrow?"

Xie Mingzhe said seriously: "We will choose to 'divide the world into three parts' to fight a division war, and give priority to defeating Shen An. Do you believe it?"

Tang Muzhou: "I don't believe a single word of it."

Xie Mingzhe laughed, "Well, it's still said that traveling doesn't hurt feelings. We saw the sea last time, how about going hiking this time? Sitting in a swivel chair playing games every day makes my back and waist sore. Hiking the mountain can also stretch my muscles and bones."

Tang Muzhou: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

In fact, Xie Mingzhe didn't have any particular place he wanted to go. As long as he was with his senior brother, it didn't matter where he went.

There was really nothing to talk about on the eve of the game, so the two chatted about travel for half an hour, said good luck to each other tomorrow, and then went to bed.

Fans probably never imagined in their dreams that two people who were going to play the final tomorrow would actually discuss where to go hiking?

Can there be a little bit of fire, gunpowder and flavor between the two of you, as rivals should have?

***

On Saturday night, the competition officially began.

In addition to the players from Nirvana and Fenghua, players from other professional league clubs were also present, and the viewing area backstage was even more spectacular than the opening ceremony. It was obvious that everyone was looking forward to this match and came to the scene to support.

After seeing Xie Mingzhe, Shan Lan took the initiative to walk over and said, "In the last game, I bet 1.5 million betting coins on Nirvana, hoping to poison you with the 'guess whoever wins' curse. But, you are poisonous, so my curse has no effect at all."

"Lanlan, you just found out about this?" Xie Mingzhe said with a rude smile, "People on the Internet are saying 'Xie Mingzhe is poisonous'. I am immune to all poisons, so your curse is useless."

Shan Lan looked at him helplessly and said, "I will continue to give you my betting coins in the finals to see if you are really immune to all poisons."

Xie Mingzhe did a quick calculation and said, "If I'm right, your odds of guessing right last time have doubled by 1.5 times. You should have 2.25 million betting coins now, right? If you bet all on Nirvana, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Shan Lan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I lose it. My master has asked me for another 2 million."

Xie Mingzhe raised his thumb and said, "Nieh God really loves you to the heavens."

Shan Lan blushed slightly and explained, "It's not what you think."

Xie Mingzhe looked puzzled: "What am I thinking?"

Just at this moment, Nie Yuandao came over from a distance and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Mingzhe met his gaze and said frankly, "Xiao Lan said she wanted to give all her betting coins to Nirvana to see if she could kill me. Nie Shen, do you want to make a prediction before the game? Do you think Xiao Lan will lose or gain this time?"

Nie Yuandao waved his hands and said, "I don't want to say it, lest I guess it in advance and your competition will be boring."

Tang Muzhou's voice rang in his ears: "Thank you, Master Nie, for being merciful."

As the game was about to start, Tang Muzhou looked at Xie Mingzhe and said, "Get ready quickly. I'm waiting for your surprise."

Xie Mingzhe smiled at his senior brother, gave a cheering gesture, and hurried to the team, walking towards the big stage with Chen Xiao, Yu Ke, and Qin Xuan.

**

In the live broadcast room, Wu Yue cleared her throat and said loudly: "The finals of the eleventh season's team competition are about to begin. Welcome everyone to come to the scene to witness this exciting moment together! I believe that the audience who follow the professional league know that the teams entering the finals are Nirvana and Fenghua. It will be another internal battle between the masters!"

Su Yang smiled and said: "No matter who wins or loses, Chen Qianlin has become the biggest winner of the eleventh season."

The audience thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.

The eldest disciple won the championship, proving that he had foresight to accept Tang Muzhou as his disciple and promote the wood system; the younger disciple won the championship, proving that he had good guidance and allowed the newly formed Nirvana team to overcome all difficulties and reach the championship podium.

The live broadcast room started to complain crazily: "Lin Shen is a hidden talent!" "The eldest and youngest disciples won the finals. Lin Shen is indeed a winner in life." "The four disciples of Su Yang are also very good. Liu Shuangcheng has won the team competition twice, and Fang Yu and Qiao Xi have been in the semi-finals of the doubles competition every year!" "Lao Zheng's disciple Xiao Gui is also very good. I like his joker style." "Every time I mention disciples, Ling Jingtang feels sad." "Poor Ling Shen!" "Ling Shen without disciples!" "Ling Shen, a lonely man!"

Ling Tang, who was watching the game from the backstage, was shocked: "..."

Damn, what does it have to do with me? Fenghua is fighting Nirvana, why are you dragging me out to mock me!

Zheng Feng, who saw the bullet screen, patted his old friend on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "Alas, it's a pity to have no apprentice."

Ling was shocked and laughed, "Get lost! I have found a very cute little apprentice. I will scare you to death when he comes out next season!"

"Oh?" Zheng Feng was surprised, "Zhou Xingchen?"

"No." Ling Jingtang smiled slightly, with a hint of pride on his face: "You haven't seen him before. He is a new player discovered by the guild in the game. The boy is only sixteen years old, full of energy, and very responsive. His playing style is particularly suitable for inheriting my weapon cards. As long as I guide him well, he will definitely give you a surprise next year."

Ling Jingtang often talked nonsense in a serious manner, but this time, Zheng Feng could tell from his delighted eyes that he was not lying - the Temple Guild really discovered a genius from the game, and Ling Jingtang finally waited for his true successor before retiring.

Zheng Feng was happy for his old friend. He gently pressed his shoulder with his hand and said, "When your little apprentice has trained enough, let him play a few games with our Xiao Gui to learn from each other."

Ling Jingtang said straightforwardly: "You offered to come here as a sparring partner, so I have no reason to refuse."

As the two were discussing this, the signal for the start of the game came on the big screen. Xie Mingzhe and Tang Muzhou drew lots together. Xie Mingzhe drew the second hand and Tang Muzhou drew the first hand.

The topic of the two people changed immediately. Zheng Feng asked, "Which map do you think Xiao Tang will choose?"

Ling Jing Tang's guess: "Mirror Forest? Deep in the jungle? These maps are very difficult to play."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Muzhou submitted the map.

The audience opened their mouths in amazement.

Wasteland Stone Formation.

It turned out to be the stone array map from the Hell Club!
