Seeing the word "Nirvana" spelled out by the cards, his nose felt sore. Xie Mingzhe led his teammates to bow deeply to the fans, which was greeted with even crazier applause from the audience.
Wu Yue said: "Please invite Chairman Zhou of the Professional League to present the awards to the champion team!"
The league chairman came to the stage holding a specially customized golden trophy and carefully handed it to Xie Mingzhe: "Congratulations on winning the Shrimp Championship!"
Wu Yue smiled and said, "Let's talk about your acceptance speech."
Xie Mingzhe was pushed out by his teammates and had to take the microphone. He said seriously: "When I first formed the Nirvana team, I didn't think we could win the championship. As a new team, we have been groping forward this season. I am very grateful to the strong opponents for allowing Nirvana to grow rapidly! Although the winners of the competition events will win applause, the strong opponents are also worthy of respect - as my senior brother said, being able to compete with you is our greatest honor!"
It is rare to see someone thank their opponent when accepting an award. Xie Mingzhe and Tang Muzhou really have a tacit understanding. The audience applauded, and Xie Mingzhe's die-hard fans even clapped their hands until they were broken. Even Ye Zhu and Bai Xu in the audience couldn't help but applaud.
The excitement of a season is not the one-man show of one team. Only when the opponents are strong can we become stronger.
After winning the team championship, he did not become arrogant and look down on his opponents. Instead, he thanked them. Ye Zhu and Bai Xu were impressed by Xie Mingzhe's ability to handle situations in public. If it were them, they probably wouldn't know what to say...
Xie Mingzhe paused for a moment, and waited until the applause died down before continuing, "Here, I would like to express my special thanks to our Nirvana coach, my master Chen Qianlin. During many competitions, when the four of us were at a loss, it was always Master who made us sober. Master not only strictly supervises our daily training and taps into the potential of each of us, but also supervises the design of level cards and helps formulate tactics... Master, we all know that you have been silently helping us. Without you, there would be no Nirvana championship. Thank you for your hard work!"
The director cleverly turned the camera around, and at this moment, Chen Qianlin, who was sitting like a statue, finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
His smile was faint, like the breeze blowing gently through the curtains.
In fact, his emotions don't fluctuate too much. Many people say that he is a winner in life. His two apprentices are very outstanding, and his younger brother is also very competitive. However, for him, trophies, honors, and popularity are all external things that he doesn't care about - he just likes this game and doesn't want to leave.
Seeing his eldest, youngest and younger apprentices standing on the podium together, Chen Qianlin also had a feeling that "my apprentices have grown up", so he couldn't help but smile. Compared to the championship of Nirvana, he was more pleased that Xiao Tang, A Zhe and Chen Xiao could all stand on their own and become the best players in the professional league. As a leader, he was already very satisfied.
Xie Mingzhe followed up by saying, "Thanks to the administrators of the Nirvana Guild, the guild members in the game for their support, and thank you to the fans of Nirvana for your support. You are Nirvana's strongest backing! With you, Nirvana will have nothing to fear in the future! Thank you all!"
The last part was so powerful that all the fans holding up their signboards stood up excitedly.
Fans are the backing of the team, but what fans want to say more is that the Nirvana Team is their pride, and they are willing to do anything for Nirvana!
Xie Mingzhe and his teammates raised the trophy high. The excitement at the scene could not be calmed down for a long time. Half a minute later, the two hosts came out to maintain order. Wu Yue smiled and said, "Don't get too excited, there are still awards to be given out - the most popular team of the year!"
The crowd began to shout again: "Nirvana!" "Nirvana!"
Everyone knows the result of this vote, because it is an online vote, which is completely based on popularity. Nirvana is a new team, and its popularity is definitely not as good as the old team. At the beginning, it was always ranked outside the fifth place, but as the playoffs became more and more exciting, as Nirvana eliminated one opponent after another, after a fierce competition in the finals with a score of 3:2, Nirvana's popularity finally turned around and ranked first!
Wu Yue took out the envelope and announced, "In the annual poll for the most popular team, Team Nirvana finally won first place on the popularity list with over 138 million votes!"
This time the vote was bound to an ID, and one person could only cast one vote. The number of votes exceeding 100 million shows how terrifying Nirvana's popularity is.
Liu Chen joked: "Azhe, it's time to give a speech again."
Xie Mingzhe accepted the trophy again and bowed to the audience: "I have just said so much, I am running out of words... Thank you for your love, thank you to everyone who voted for Nirvana!"
Xie Mingzhe, holding two trophies, smiled particularly brightly.
Wu Yue said: "The next important award is the Best Newcomer Award for the 11th season!"
There were speculations in the live broadcast room: "There are too many outstanding newcomers this year, will it be given to Azhe?" "I also think it will be Azhe..."
However, the name the host read out was a surprise: "Star Rangers, Bai Xu!"
Bai Xu looked at the stage blankly, thinking he was hallucinating.
Until Yi Tianyang gently pushed him and whispered in his ear: "Receive the award, don't just stand there."
Bai Xu was startled and saw that everyone around him was looking at him. He immediately ran onto the stage with a red face.
The Alliance Chairman said with a smile: "The Starry Sky Cards made by Bai Xu are very innovative, and he pioneered the cosmic wormhole transmission style of play. This newcomer award is given to Bai Xu, and the judges of the Alliance have no objection! Congratulations, Bai Xu."
Bai Xu received the trophy with great excitement, his tongue almost tied: "Thank you, thank you for the recognition of the alliance. I, I... I didn't expect that the Rookie Award would be given to me. There are so many amazing players this season. I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it at all..." He kept repeating "I didn't expect it" for a long time, unable to say anything else. He was so anxious that his face turned red. Finally, he had to bow to the audience: "Thank you! Thank you everyone!"
Comments flew across the livestream room: "Xiaobai should learn some speaking skills from your brother." "Xiaobai is stunned, hahaha, I never thought I could win a prize!" "Starry Sky Cards are indeed innovative, Xiaobai is not even 18 yet, he has a bright future!"
Bai Xu happily ran to Tang Muzhou holding the trophy. Tang Muzhou glanced at his silent brother and felt helpless. He was usually arrogant, but he was stunned after receiving the award. He was like sleepwalking when accepting the award. This guy was really confused at the critical moment.
Wu Yue said: "Next is the last award of the awards ceremony, which is also the award that everyone looks forward to the most every season - the season MVP, the best player award!"
Liu Chen said: "The selection of the best player includes two aspects. One is the comprehensive scoring of the engineers of the official card-making department and the judges of the professional league. The other is the anonymous voting of professional players from the entire league. The two are added together for ranking. The selection rules are very fair and just!"
Wu Yue opened the envelope and immediately said excitedly after seeing the name: "The player who won the Best Player Award this year has created a large number of new cards and created a brand new card family. The average score given to him by the judges was over 9.5 points, and in the anonymous vote within the league, his vote rate exceeded 80%, setting a historical record for professional league voting - who is he? Let's shout out his name together!"
When the host said this, the audience knew who he was.
There is only one player this season who has created a large number of cards and created a whole new card race.
——Xie Mingzhe!
The names shouted out in unison from the audience were enough to prove how well-deserved this award was.
Xie Mingzhe was surprised. In his opinion, the best player should be the one with the best individual performance. Tang Muzhou won the individual championship and the runner-up in the doubles and team competitions, but he gave up in the individual competition and did not perform well in the doubles competition. Moreover, he was a newcomer who just debuted this season. He thought he could only win the best newcomer award at most...
The newcomer directly won the best player award, which shows how outstanding Hsieh Ming-che's performance has been this season.
Especially in the internal voting of the league, since it is an anonymous vote, players from other clubs are likely to vote for their teammates. Xie Mingzhe's vote rate exceeded 80%, which shows that the entire professional league recognizes him very much.
It is extremely difficult to gain recognition from peers, especially competitors.
With a vote rate of over 80%, it is obvious that top contestants such as Nie Shen, Lao Zheng, and Ling Jingtang also voted for Xie Mingzhe!
The league chairman handed the trophy to Xie Mingzhe and said with a smile: "Azhe, you are really outstanding. In the past, we only regarded cards as props that can be replaced at any time, but your appearance has given the cards life and soul! The best player of this season is none other than you!"
Xie Mingzhe was flattered and almost stupefied like Bai Xu, but he was mentally strong and quickly adjusted himself. He took the trophy and said with a smile, "Thank you, Chairman, thank you for the recognition from the jury, and thank you to the players from the Professional Alliance who voted for me!"
All the lights in the venue were focused on him. At that moment, Xie Mingzhe was the brightest star of the night.
He also put on formal attire, a well-tailored suit that set off his well-proportioned figure. Although he was only 19 years old, his experience in two lives made him more stable than his peers. His special temperament between youth and maturity, coupled with a brilliant smile on his face, made him simply the sunny and handsome boy in the campus movie who warms people's hearts.
Xie Mingzhe faced the camera and said slowly: "The Chairman said that I gave the cards souls. This is too high an evaluation and I am unworthy of it. But I have always believed that in the Star Card World, cards are not just tools for our competition, but our most precious partners - every card should be treated seriously by its owner."
"To many people, Star Card Storm is just a game; but to us professional players, it is our life, our world. It is fictional, but also real. It is my greatest luck to be able to come to this world!"
At the end of his speech, Xie Mingzhe's voice was choked with sobs.
He was an orphan since childhood, with no family or friends. He struggled until he was in his twenties, and his life was always dull. He never expected that he would come to the Star Card World and start a new and wonderful life.
Everything he has experienced here is his most precious treasure.
He is grateful to God for allowing him to come here, gain so many friends, and meet the best Tang Muzhou.
He was extremely lucky to come to the Star Card World and become a true Star Card Master.

After the awards ceremony, the professional league announced the list of cards that were included in the card memorial wall this season.
Bai Xu's Space Rift, Cosmic Wormhole, Gemini and other novel cosmic star cards are undoubtedly on the list. Chen Xiao's Black Rose, Black Mage, Giant Arum, Vampire Vine and other dark plant cards are also included. There are also new cards designed by the masters this season, such as Gui Sirui's Ghost Doctor, Tang Muzhou's Gardener series, Shan Lan's Parrot...
The most popular ones are, of course, the cards made by Xie Mingzhe.
Fans have always been struggling with this question: Azhe has made so many cards, if they really want to include them in the collection, which ones should they choose?
The alliance chairman said: This is not a problem!
Because a new blank wall was built behind the original card memorial wall at the Professional League headquarters.
All the cards from the eleventh season were collected on the newly built card memorial wall. More than 80% of the ghost cards, character cards, monster cards and fairy cards made by Xie Mingzhe were included. The various cards covered the entire wall, and the spectacular sight was unmatched.
The included cards will be treasured forever on the memorial wall. No matter how many years have passed, future players will be able to see these cards. For the card maker, this is definitely the supreme honor.
With so many cards included, Xie Mingzhe is the well-deserved "Best Player" of the 11th season!
Three days later, Nie Yuandao and Zheng Feng announced their retirement, the captaincy of the referee was handed over to Shan Lan, and the captaincy of Guiji was inherited by Gui Sirui. Of the "Five Gods" who had laid the foundation for the Star Card Alliance, only Ling Jingtang remained in the arena. Ling Jingtang said that he would also leave the alliance when his young apprentice inherited his weapon card.
From the first season to the tenth season, the Star Card League has gone through a full ten years of development. These veteran players have laid a solid foundation for the league and have made great contributions. In the eleventh season, the appearance of Xie Mingzhe and the instant death card opened a new chapter for the professional league. The establishment of the second card memorial wall is the first step in the Star Card League to open a new chapter.
From now on, it will be the world of young players.
The new generation of players, Ye Zhu, Bai Xu, Xiao Ke, and Xie Mingzhe, will continue to pass on the splendor of the Star Card Alliance.
When talking about Xie Mingzhe, netizens often say: "The awesome player whose collected cards cover the entire memorial wall!" "The naughty Pipi Zhe who can make cards fall in love, get pregnant, have babies, and reincarnate, and who arranges the cards' lives in detail!" "The director who makes every game feel like watching a movie!"
Xie Mingzhe said on Weibo: "The eleventh season has ended. Next I will go travel and relax for a while. Next season, I will make more fun cards to meet everyone [smile]"
The official data analysts at Star Card had a splitting headache: "... Please spare us!"
The professional players helplessly said: "Can you please stop talking about making new cards and let us have a peaceful vacation?"
Alliance Chairman: "Come on, Hsieh Ming-che! One wall is not enough. The Alliance will build you another one!"
