Chapter 239 Playoff Finale(1/2)
After the competition, the contestants took off their helmets and went to the middle of the big stage to shake hands. Tang Muzhou smiled and opened his arms, and Xie Mingzhe also cooperated to hug the senior brother.
The two people hugged looked very good.
At the same time, they like Chen Qianlin, Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe's "master fans" are all very happy. After Nirvana 1:1 draw with Fenghua, you can confirm that you will enter the second half of the playoffs. Fenghua's ranking in Group A will not be affected, which is a happy ending.
Tang Muzhou slightly withdrew his arms and whispered in the other party's ear: "Congratulations on entering the playoffs."
Xie Mingzhe smiled brightly and was not humble at all: "This is what it should be, it would be strange if you can't get in!"
Getting used to the little junior brother holding his tail in front of him, Tang Muzhou's eyes were full of gentleness, he patted his shoulder gently, and encouraged Wen Yan: "You have indeed made rapid progress, and even I am a little surprised. Today's game was very well directed."
Xie Mingzhe said: "You are also very awesome. You can think of a perverted map like Magic Mirror Forest!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The fellow disciples were all full of bad habits. Chen Qianlin, who saw this scene in the background, didn't want to speak.
After both sides shook hands one after another, the contestants of Fenghua and Nirvana stood on the stage and bowed to the audience to thank them. The deafening applause at the scene was enough to prove how exciting today's game was.
Xie Mingzhe and his teammates left the stage with applause. The live broadcast screen began to play the exciting clips of the game, and detailed information of the decks of both sides were played.
The audience at the scene still did not leave the seat, staring at the screen with wide eyes. The professional players in the background also watched the detailed data of the cards seriously, especially those secret cards Cao Pi and Cao Zhi that had never appeared before.
The result of Nirvana's away challenge to Fenghua was 1:1 was not surprising, but Nirvana won the second game but the audience could not calm down, and even the great masters of the professional league were extremely shocked.
All the characters are arranged neatly together, and the picture is very pleasing to the eye, not to mention that this wooden deck is very strong. What’s more important is that this team battle deck is a rare deck with auxiliary cards as the core.
In the minds of many people, the biggest function of auxiliary cards is to protect teammates, control opponents or provide gain effects, which is the "icing on the cake". Of course, the output cards should be the core of the game. When necessary, the auxiliary cards can even sacrifice themselves to protect the output cards. Therefore, in the team battle decks of major clubs, the proportion of output cards usually accounts for more than 70%. Many teams only have to be controlled by one player. It is common to carry about 5 auxiliary cards during team battles.
But today, Xie Mingzhe went the other way - the auxiliary cards in the deck accounted for more than 60%, and the output cards did not exceed 8, and he even dragged them to the later stage and won?!
This is equivalent to a blatant slap in the face of the theory of "output first".
Xie Mingzhe is using this game to tell everyone: Don’t underestimate the auxiliary cards!
The key to winning the second game of Nirvana is the connection of skills of a large number of auxiliary cards. When summoning cards to lay the field, Xie Mingzhe did not use violent attacks like other commanders to play the advantage of the card, but instead set up the field to defend and drag it to a turnaround in the late stage.
Thrilling, yet interlocking.
Even the always picky commentator Liu Chen couldn't help but comment: "Although today's game is a regular season, the tactical arrangements and deck matching of both sides have reached the level of the finals! Especially the tactics of the second game of Nirvana Team are not only novel, but also designed quite precisely. It is hard to believe that Xie Mingzhe is a newcomer who debuted this season!"
Wu Yue echoed: "Most newcomers have strong personal strength, but Xie Mingzhe is the first case for newcomers to command team battles so well. Even talented players such as Tang Muzhou and Pei Jingshan have never played team battles in their first season of their debut."
The creation modes of Fenghua and Dark Night Capital are very similar. Tang Muzhou and Pei Jingshan first became famous in individual competitions, then attracted investment, expanded the club size, and started team battles the next year.
As an alumnus, Xie Mingzhe was one step ahead of the two seniors from the beginning - he directly formed a team to fight a team battle and also formed a miscellaneous army.
Chen Xiao is the "deserter" of the fifth season, with countless black fans online; Yu Ke is heartless and doesn't look reliable; Qin Xuan is taciturn like a dull gourd, with a strange long hair; and Xie Mingzhe, who makes cards very hateful...
The style of Nirvana is definitely the most bizarre in the league. At first, everyone thought Nirvana would definitely be miserable in team battles and would be completely abused. But who would have thought that Nirvana would actually make it to the playoffs if he bumped into Nirvana?
Xie Mingzhe not only has his first-class card manufacturing talent, but his talent for command has also been fully revealed today.
There are many powerful commanders in the league, but there are only a handful of commands who dare to innovate and can take risks to try various novel tactics. Xie Mingzhe is indeed very bold, but he is also very careful. He is very considerate in all aspects of the matching decks, and all his tactical ideas have been verified on the field.
It is extremely rare to dare to think but not to think about it. New tactics with reasonable and well-founded strategies can defeat their opponents.
At the beginning of the regular season, Xie Mingzhe was like a young seedling. Now he has absorbed a lot of nutrients and has grown into a towering tree with a very personal style, which is enough to make the commanders of all teams in the league feel fearful!
It was not until this time that everyone realized that Xie Mingzhe was so strong without realizing it? He was already qualified to join the ranks of front-line commanders of the professional league. Although he was still very young, no one dared to underestimate him from now on!
Can Nirvana win the championship in a new team?
The backstage viewing zone fell into a strange silence. Obviously, the great masters were thinking about this issue. It is already a difficult task for the new team to enter the playoffs. If they win the championship in the end... Xie Mingzhe will completely refresh the history of the professional league.
It sounds like a fantasy for the new team to win the championship, but judging from Xie Mingzhe's performance, perhaps it is really possible?
Everyone was very conflicted.
Ye Zhu stared at the big screen blankly. When Uncle Fat's vest was not exposed, he was a loyal fan of Uncle Fat. He liked those strange characters and squatted in the "Yueban Card Store" every day. Later, he became a black fan because Xie Mingzhe was much younger than he thought. He felt that it was embarrassing to be a "junior" player who was so young.
But now, Xie Mingzhe is indeed so powerful that he looks at him with admiration.
Ye Zhu swayed left and right between "pink" and "black", and her mood was extremely complicated.
Bai Xu, who was sitting next to Ye Zhu, had a stiff expression. Their Starry Sky team was destined to not qualify for the playoffs. Nirvana took away the Starry Sky's quota. Logically speaking, he should be very dissatisfied, but after watching today's game, he felt very amazed. Xie Mingzhe was indeed better than him... admitting this, Bai Xu was very unhappy. This guy is obviously about the same age as him, so why is he so much more powerful?
The two teenagers' faces turned red and white, and their facial features were almost wrinkled into buns, which made Pei Jingshan almost laugh out loud.
Pei Jingshan touched his nose and coughed lightly, suppressed his smile, and took the initiative to find a topic to break the silence: "By the way, after this game, the ranking of the regular season standings has been completely confirmed. Don't anyone care about the playoffs arrangements?"
Ye Zhu finally returned to her soul, turned her head suddenly and looked at Pei Jingshan with a white face: "The first game of the playoffs, it would be our Dark Night Capital to play Nirvana!" After saying that, he felt like he was afraid of Nirvana, so he immediately changed his words, "It doesn't matter if he fights Nirvana, anyway, it must be our team who wins, hahaha."
This was very guilty, but Ye Zhu still raised her head and looked confident.
Bai Xu looked at him with a fool's eyes: "Don't you know that it's easy to get slapped in the face when saying such words before the game?" He once made harsh words before the game, but was slapped in the face by Nirvana and his face was swollen.
When Ye Zhu thought of this, her spine chills and immediately shuts her mouth, almost biting off her tongue.
Just then, the final ranking list of the regular season appeared on the live broadcast screen. The commentator Wu Yue smiled and said: "Friends, the regular season team event of the 11th season of the Star Card Professional League will all end here. Below is the final point ranking list. Congratulations to Nirvana for successfully entering the playoffs!"
Liu Chen looked at the standings and said, "The ones entering the playoffs in Group A are Fenghua, Ghost Prison, Liushuang City and Shadow Team, while Group B has a rare equal division - the Dark Night City, the points of the Temple of the Gods and the Judgment Team are completely equal."
There have been cases where two teams have equal points before, but the three teams have the same score for the first time in history.
Liu Chen was also amused and laughed: "According to the professional league regulations, when the points are equal, it depends on the results of the teams in the group, and the ranking of teams that win the civil war will be higher. But strangely, the scores of these three teams when they meet each other in the group are 1:1."
Wu Yue said: "Three teams tied, which involves a problem... Who will play Nirvana in the playoffs?"
Hearing this, the audience looked at each other.
Before the league started, the professional league announced the rules, and the playoffs must be eliminated in the group first, and the matchup arrangement is first vs fourth, and the second vs third.
Now that Nirvana has been confirmed to be in Group B, there are three tied for first place in Group B. Who should Nirvana play in the playoffs?
When Nie Yuandao heard this, he speculated: "The alliance may let our three teams draw lots to determine the order of the match."
Pei Jingshan nodded in agreement: "Drawing lots is indeed the fairest way."
Ling Jingtang smiled and said, "Do you want to draw Nirvana, or don't you want to draw Nirvana?"
This problem really stumps everyone.
Logically speaking, Nirvana is the fourth place in the group. It looks the weakest on the surface. It is the knockout match in the playoffs. It seems that the winning rate is higher when it draws Nirvana. But after watching today's game, no one dares to think so - Xie Mingzhe is very smart, and maybe he uses the offseason to create a new deck and come up with some strange tactics.
In fact, everyone doesn’t want to draw Nirvana deep down. After all, when playing with other teams, you only need to pay attention to the skill data of the card. However, when playing with Nirvana, the cards are always in love, robbing, pregnant, and suffering mental torture, which is really enough!
But if you don’t draw Nirvana, it means you have to play the knockout match with the other two companies, and it’s hard to deal with no one!
The three captains had a headache at the same time.
It is better to know the opponents in the playoffs in advance and you can also use more time to prepare.
And there is no Nirvana in Group A...
Thinking of this, the three great gods all had a strange expression - when did Nirvana become like a flood and a beast? It was all because Xie Mingzhe's cards were so annoying.
The screen switches on the screen and comes to the live broadcast room for post-match interviews.
Xie Mingzhe's magnified face is handsome with 360 degrees without dead corners. He is obviously just an 18-year-old boy, but he is full of aura. He is still calm and calm in the face of countless reporters and photographers, and his smile is bright.
When fans of the live broadcast channel saw Xie Mingzhe appear, they started screaming, and they all started to make barrage: "Listen the screen!" "I can lick Azhe's face for a year!" "For the sake of you being so handsome, I will forgive you for the time being?"
In the last interview during the regular season, the reporters rushed forward and almost hit Xie Mingzhe's face with a microphone.
A female reporter was obviously a fan of Nirvana, and her voice was trembling with excitement: "Congratulations to Nirvana for officially confirming the playoffs! This game is indeed very exciting. Nirvana's newly emerging wooden cards, such as Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Sima Yi, are all well designed..." Perhaps he realized that he looked like a little fan, the reporter paused slightly and changed his words seriously: "It is not easy to confirm the playoffs in the professional league with strong teams. What do you want to say most now?"
Xie Mingzhe glanced at his teammates and said, "I want to thank my master, teammates and the management of Nirvana Guild. Thank you Nirvana family. If it weren't for everyone's support, I wouldn't be able to make these cards at all, and it would be even more impossible to match a reasonable team battle deck. The tactics I took out in today's game were actually quite risky, but my teammates did not question me at all. Instead, they trusted me very much, so I dared to give it a try. I really thank everyone for their cooperation. And Nirvana fans, thank you for your support!"
There was warm applause at the scene, and Xie Mingzhe was always very official in his interview, but today he looked very sincere and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. To be honest, he could not have supported Nirvana alone. If it weren't for the full support of his teammates, today's game would not have been so smooth.
Chen Xiao took the microphone and said to the reporters calmly: "I am of course very happy that Nirvana can make the playoffs, but I know that this is not the end. What greets us in the playoffs will be a more intense and cruel challenge. While I am happy, I will calm down, analyze my shortcomings, and try my best to win satisfactory results in the playoffs."
Brother Chen is relatively steady and is the big brother of Nirvana. Although he commands very few games in the regular season, who knows whether he will command again in the playoffs? Fans actually like Brother Chen's simple and rough command style.
Yu Ke was so excited that he was incoherent: "What do I want to say the most? Hahaha, I don't know what I want to say. The regular season ended like this. It feels like a dream. Anyway, I'm very happy to continue playing in the playoffs in the second half of the year..."
Qin Xuan said concisely: "I'm very happy."
But there was still no expression on his face, and there was no sign of happiness at all??
The reporters were a little embarrassed and simply ignored the sculpture Qin Xuan and asked Xie Mingzhe who was easy to talk to.
A male reporter took the microphone and said, "The playoffs are elimination system, and it will not give any team a chance to do it again. If you lose, you will be eliminated. Nirvana is a very young team and has no experience in playing knockout games at all. The mentality of young players is prone to problems in the playoffs. This kind of example is not uncommon. I would like to ask, is Nirvana's goal to reach the semi-finals, the finals, or to enter the playoffs?"
This problem is very sharp. Many teams tried their best to make it to the playoffs, but the result was a one-day tour and they were eliminated.
Xie Mingzhe smiled and replied: "The knockout round is indeed more cruel, and there will be pressure, but we will try to adjust our mindset, enjoy every game, and strive not to travel for one day, right?"
The reporters burst into laughter. The statement of one-day tour is indeed appropriate. It is estimated that the Shadow Team in Group A will be pitiful for one-day tour. However, for Shao Mengchen, after working hard for many years, he finally made it to the playoffs, which is a wish.
The reporter said: "The chance of winning the trophy with Nirvana's current strength is very slim. The number of cards required in the endless mode of the playoffs is not comparable to that of the dark card mode. Nirvana is a newly established team, and the card pool is definitely not as good as an old club. Azhe, aren't you worried?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can do it if you don't have enough cards."
The great gods: "…"
What other weird cards do you want to make? You play in the regular season, the Moonlight leads the red line, and sends children to Guanyin to give birth to babies, which has ruined the innocence of many cards... Are you going to the sky in the playoffs?
A reporter changed the topic and said: "Nirvana's opponent in the playoffs is not yet sure, Dark Night City, Judgment and Temple of the Gods, which team do you most want to play the first game with?"
Xie Mingzhe thought about it carefully and said, "It's the same as anyone. The strength of the three teams is similar. I don't know how the league will arrange it, it depends on luck."
The reporter then asked some questions about the players' plans for the next plan. The 10-minute brief interview was completed quickly. Everyone also gave polite blessings to Nirvana in the playoffs, and then they buried their heads and wrote notices.
To be continued...
