Chapter 321 The Final Game
Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke lost in the second game, which was also expected by many professional players. Aside from the outsiders watched the excitement and an expert looked at the tricks. Everyone actually knew that Xie Yu's current comprehensive strength was not as good as Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu.
The first game was won, first, Xie Mingzhe chose the home advantage of "Flooded Xia Pi" and Yan Qing's resurrection explosion caught the opponent off guard. Second, Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu underestimated Yu Ke's assistance and made the strategy wrong from the beginning.
As long as Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu calm down and think clearly about the best way to play against Yu Ke, it is difficult for Xie Mingzhe to win by relying on secret cards. Once Yu Ke is defeated, it is equivalent to half of the huge gap in the bucket made of two wooden boards. Xie Mingzhe alone deals with Gui Liu and the other two, losing is inevitable, and winning is almost impossible.
The third game will probably repeat the plot of the second game - many professional players think so.
Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan also watched the game today. The two have confirmed to enter the quarterfinals. Pay attention to the other players' games and think that they know themselves and enemies in advance. Shan Lan leaned into his master's ear and asked softly: "Master, do you think Xie Mingzhe still has a chance of winning in the third game?"
Nie Yuandao shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no chance of winning on the surface, but Xie Mingzhe is a player who is unpredictable. Maybe he will use some strange ultimate move in the decisive game and cannot easily draw conclusions."
Shan Lan thought that Master's crow mouth has always been very effective, but today Master did not clearly say whether Xie Mingzhe will lose or win. He wanted to rely on Master's "Prophet" skills to infer the results were not reliable.
Shan Lan said seriously: "I actually hope Xie Mingzhe can win."
Nie Yuandao frowned and looked back at him: "Why? Do you like Xie Mingzhe more?"
"I just hate Gui Sirui's ghost card style." Shan Lan whispered, "The ghost baby's crying just now was too perverted."
Shan Lan is a person with simple ideas, and the reasons for liking or not liking a contestant are very simple. Nie Yuandao sometimes feels that his apprentice has grown up and is the gentle and friendly male god in his fans' mouths; but sometimes he feels that Xiao Lan is still the little boy from the neighbor's house in his memory. He is simple in his mind and will smile his eyes into a crack when he is in a good mood.
Nie Yuandao heard him complaining about Gui Sirui in a low voice. Thinking of his pale face when he heard the ghost baby crying just now, there was a rare smile on the corner of his lips, and said, "Xiao Gui's ghost card is indeed a bit cunning. You don't have to worry. No matter who loses and who wins, our opponent will not be Gui Sirui in the next game."
The eight-to-four-to-four arrangement has come out. Nie Lan's opponents in the next game are Zhen Man and Shen An, the winners of the B/G group duel. Nie Yuandao is 100% confident in playing against these two, so he is also very relaxed.
The man is very confident and charming. Shan Lan was infected by his master and felt confident all the time. He thought that with his master, it would be very hopeful for the two to win another championship this season. Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke are actually a pity. In Shan Lan's opinion, if Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao partnered, the two might be able to go further, and there might be a chance of winning the medal.
Chen Xiao was sitting next to him. Shan Lan looked at him and found that he was chatting with Chen Qianlin and Tang Muzhou in a low voice. Occasionally, he could hear fragmentary words such as "Azhe" and "Can it work". The three of them were obviously also discussing the situation of the final game. The three of them were Xie Mingzhe's closest people, and they must be looking at Xie Mingzhe in their hearts, but the other players on the scene were actually not optimistic about Xie Mingzhe.
Even if Shan Lan doesn't like Gui Sirui's ghost cards, she has to admit that Gui Sirui is the real ghost king compared to Yu Ke, and his control skills and awareness of ghost cards have surpassed Yu Ke several streets.
If Yu Ke is targeted again, what should I do in the third game?
Fans were also worried at this time. Everyone rationally knew that Azhe and Xiao Ke could not beat Gui Liu's combination, but emotionally, I hope Azhe and Xiao Ke can take a step forward - even if they enter the quarterfinals? It would be better than being eliminated in the quarterfinals!
But all fans can do at this time is praying silently, hoping that the random map of the third game will be more beneficial to Azhe.
The rest time before the decisive game started was 3 minutes longer than that of ordinary small games. After the ad was released, the real-time status of the players was broadcast on the big screen. Surprisingly, Xie Mingzhe's expression on his face was very relaxed and there seemed to be no pressure. He took off his helmet and discussed the next play style with Yu Ke, talking and laughing. Instead, Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu looked a little serious.
Of course, Liu Jingxu himself is a very serious research madman. His personal style is that he does not like to joke before the game. The serious expressions on the two of them also mean that they are very serious about the third game and will never let Xie Mingzhe take advantage of the loopholes.
Xie Mingzhe said: "The Nine-tailed Fox caused us a lot of trouble in the second game. Liu Jingxu may continue to bring it with him in the third game. Its skill cooling time is too short, and the single-body stuns every 10 seconds. Even if Meng Po forgets his skills, he can only solve the crisis once. It is still difficult to deal with it next. I want to fight and directly use the instant death card to kill it."
Yu Ke widened his eyes: "You mean, go to Sha Monk directly?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "The demon-subduing treasure trooper is powerful in seconds. The nine-tailed demon fox will be solved first."
Yu Ke thought it made sense—anyway, he felt it made sense what Azhe said, so he said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll take Sha Seng with me and wait for the Nine-tailed Demon Fox to appear and I will go out of it."
"There's another point." Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and added, "Liu Jingxu will definitely keep skills for my secret cards. Killing the nine-tailed demon fox is not enough. The demon cards in his hand are like cat girls, tiger monsters, flower monsters, and snake monsters all have control skills, so he must bring a control-free card to ensure that my secret card will appear smoothly. Can it be done?"
Xie Mingzhe said the names of several cards in his ear, and Yu Ke nodded vigorously: "I have practiced all these cards, just..." He is not very confident. After all, he was targeted too badly and his reaction was slower than the opponent so much as a few seconds. What if he can't release his skills?
"I believe you can." Xie Mingzhe guessed Xiao Ke's concern and encouraged with a smile, "Try it once."
"Okay!" Azhe said so. Of course Yu Ke would not admit defeat. At worst, he would lose. When the netizens wanted to scold him, they would come to him... Looking at Azhe's hand stretched out towards him, Yu Ke was very moved, his eyes were a little hot. He put his hand on Xie Mingzhe's palm and shook it hard to cheer each other up.
It is his greatest blessing to meet a teammate like Xie Mingzhe. After preparing for so long, but stopping here, how can he be willing to do so? Yu Ke clenched his fists hard and quickly passed the new card that Xie Mingzhe mentioned in his mind. In this game, he must be the most solid backing for Xie Mingzhe.
The decisive game began, and Wu Yue's voice in the commentary room was obviously excited: "The previous two games have performed well. The third game will determine who will enter the quarterfinals, and the other party can only leave with regret! The decisive game is about to begin. The fans at the scene, let us cheer for the four players with warm applause!"
As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, deafening applause and screams rang out at the scene. Many fans shouted and cheered, and the banners and posters in the stands were also raised. Even if they wore soundproof helmets, the four contestants could feel the enthusiasm at the scene.
At the beginning of the competition, the system picture selection box appears on the large screen.
Both sides had a home game in the first two games, and the third game was randomly selected in the system.
In order to ensure fairness, the league has added another rule this year - starting from the knockout stage, if the system needs to select pictures to the final game, then the system will first randomly draw three maps from the league gallery. Players on both sides can disable one of them and leave one for the final scene.
This also removes the influence of "luck factor" to the greatest extent. Once you randomly get a map that is favorable to your opponent, you can completely disable it, and both parties can disable it, so the map left in the end must be a scene that is fair to each other.
Fans stared at the big screen nervously. In the three picture selection boxes, the scene thumbnail icons in the league gallery kept jumping, and the speed became faster and faster, until it finally came to an abrupt end. The three maps drawn by the system were enlarged on the screen-
Dream bubbles, magic mirror forest, weapon secret room.
This picture selection result can be said to be a nightmare mode - all three maps are super difficult to beat!
Wu Yue couldn't believe it and said: "The system is a bit too much today. I chose the most abnormal representative map of the three clubs - Dream Bubble is the home map of the Shadow Team. The colorful bubbles on the whole map will not only affect the players' vision, but also cause a lot of damage to the entire scene every once in a while. The Magic Mirror Forest is the work of Fenghua Club, and it is difficult to distinguish the virtual and the real under the mirror effect; the Weapon Secret Room is the mechanism map of the Temple of the Gods, I remember the sharp arrows flying everywhere in the whole scene, and the bayonets inserted on the ground..."
Liu Chen sighed: "It's hard to hit all three pictures, it depends on which one will be left behind by both sides."
The two sides decided the order of bans when they draw lots. Gui Sirui got the first ban. He banned the "Magic Mirror Forest" without hesitation. First, Nirvana and Fenghua played a team battle on this map in the first half of the team competition. Xie Mingzhe was very familiar with this map; second, Tang Muzhou was Xie Mingzhe's senior brother. If he played in Fenghua's home map, he might have a buff bonus for the senior brother.
When it was Xie Mingzhe's turn, he banned "Dream Bubble" without thinking too much. This map was particularly difficult to fight when fighting the Shadow Team, because the bubbles full of maps were very suitable for ambush and assassination. Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu's styles are just good at assassination, so of course they cannot release maps that are beneficial to each other.
As a result, the map left behind was the Weapon Secret Room.
The map from the Temple of the Gods. Xie Mingzhe had never played in this picture during the regular season, and Gui Sirui did not, but they had all watched the game between the Temple of the Gods and other clubs on this map, and they probably had an impression in their hearts.
Leaving this picture as a final picture is fair to both sides.
Ling Jingtang, who was watching the game in the backstage, smiled slightly and said to his teammate Xu Hang, who was sitting next to him: "The style of playing in the weapon secret room requires a lot of positioning, and the operation requirements for the players are extremely high. The rhythm of the third game is likely to be faster than the first two games."
——Weapon Secret Room, this is a classic mechanic picture made by Ling Jingtang.
All cards enter a square enclosed secret room of 100 square meters. The secret room is full of mechanisms. Arrow rain will be shot around every 30 seconds. It is impossible to avoid it. It will produce 5% of the basic health damage to the cards in the whole scene. Every 10 seconds, a large knife array appears in the east, south, west and north of the room. There will be a 2-second warning before it appears. You can avoid it by moving. Once it is not avoided, the sharp bayonet will add a layer of bleeding to the hit card, which will drop 1% of the blood per second. After the stacked layers are high, the amount of bleeding will be quite terrible.
A random sword array that once every 10 seconds means that players must always observe the map and quickly adjust their movements. A large number of card movements will speed up the battle rhythm of the weapon secret room. This is also one of the top ten in the fast-paced maps of the entire league. If you don’t bring a healing card to fight against primary damage and accidentally get hit by the opponent, it will be a tragedy on earth.
This random picture was beyond Xie Mingzhe's expectations, but no matter what map, the deck he matched can be played, because he left a few variable cards to adjust at any time. When he encountered a weapon secret room, he could not bring an extra healing card.
Wei Zheng and Du Liniang's treatment system are slow, but Du Liniang's group blood increase ability is very strong. With Wei Zheng's reward and punishment system, the reward can give one's extra group blood increase. The punishment can allow the opponent to specify card immunotherapy, which will be very useful in this game.
Since Wei Zheng and Du Liniang's system were targeted in the second game, Xie Mingzhe asked Xiao Ke to bring an additional treatment card Hua Tuo in this game.
Hua Tuo is the most excellent first aid card among the monomer therapy cards that Xie Mingzhe has ever done. With the existence of the "Five Animal Play" defensive skills, it is not that easy for Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu to kill Hua Tuo forcibly.
In the lineup of double breasts, if you kill me, I have another one. If necessary, add blood to each other, making it difficult for you to quickly lose one of them. This is the idea that Xie Mingzhe has long determined.
Another card, he brought a painted skin. The painted skin can copy the opponent's card. At that time, copy a key control card to relieve our pressure on control. Copying the output card can also supplement the shortcomings in output, which is very flexible.
After the map is released 30 seconds, the decks of both sides will be announced at the same time.
The audience unexpectedly discovered that among Xie Yu's eight cards, except for the familiar Wei Zheng and Du Liniang's group addition system, all other cards were replaced - Painted Skin, Hua Tuo was all cards that he had seen before, and the other four characters were all water-based cards.
Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, Qin Keqing, Li Wan.
The long-lost Red Building deck appeared again, which made everyone feel like they were back in the first half of the team competition.
The three commentators were also stunned and could not keep up with Xie Mingzhe's ideas for a while.
Su Yang took the lead in reacting and quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this deck: "Wang Xifeng is deeply impressed by everyone, hahaha, group attacks, Jia Tanchun is a single assassin card, Qin Keqing is a dead card, Li Wan is a group free from control, group free from control, auxiliary card for group reliever - this is the second game, isn't it because she was accused of being afraid? It's reasonable for Xie Mingzhe to bring Li Wan with her to control directly! Du Liniang, Hua Tuo's double blood increase system, and Wei Zheng's reward and punishment system can ensure the endurance of the team."
Liu Chen said: "But this deck also has obvious flaws - the output is too little. At present, it seems that only Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun output double output, and Qin Keqing can only force cards with less than 30% of their health to hang. It is considered a functional output, and it is likely that the firepower is not enough to kill the opponent?"
Wu Yue said: "This deck has extremely strong defensive ability and weak output ability. Perhaps, he wants to make up for the shortcomings in output by relying on the scene's arrow rain and knife formation? But the scene map is random. Before the game, I couldn't expect the system to select such a blood-loss map. I think it is impossible to change the deck temporarily. What exactly did Xie Mingzhe think?"
What Xie Mingzhe thought, Tang Muzhou was also very curious and asked his master: "He has been thoroughly studied by the contestants. Will it be too risky to take it out? Should the secret card bring Qiaojie to resurrect Wang Xifeng?"
Chen Qianlin's voice was very calm: "In fact, there is another card in this deck. Your junior brother has never used it before, you will know later."
After the master said this, Tang Muzhou became even more curious and looked at the screen thoughtfully.
The decks of Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu were also lit up soon. The zombie bride ghost baby's linkage system performed very well in the game, and there was no reason not to take them in this game; the Skeleton General would be very useful in the "Weapon Secret Room" map, summoning skeleton soldiers to surround and kill opponents, and even if the skeleton soldiers were shot to death by sharp arrows, they could continue to summon; he replaced the other output card with a hanged ghost, attacked from a range, and adjusting the positioning would be more convenient.
Liu Jingxu's card has not changed much. Flower demon, tiger demon, snake demon, and nine-tailed demon fox are still on the stage. The main reason is that he and Gui Sirui cooperate tacitly, and he is also very easy to play against Yu Ke, so there is no need to change the formation temporarily.
The secret cards of both sides are not clear at the moment. Judging from the Ming card alone, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke are decks with strong healing and survivability. Gui Liu is still mainly controlling the explosion, with only Hua Yao a cure card. The audience was not optimistic about Xie Mingzhe when they saw this. After all, Gui Sirui and Liu Jingxu cooperated with a set to send Wei Zheng and Du Liniang. If this game is done again, wouldn’t Xiao Ke be blown up?
Many viewers are flooding the screen in the live broadcast room—
"Do you want to be so stupid? Wei Zheng and Du Liniang won three games in a row?"
"I think there are not many auxiliary cards that Xiao Ke can practice in the short term. He can't ask him to master all auxiliary cards like Qin Xuan, right? Is he winning three games in a row that only means that he is most skilled in these two cards."
"I was targeted so badly in the second game, isn't that skillful? I think they're just here to get to the quarterfinals."
"Maybe Azhe has other solutions, don't rush to draw conclusions!"
"This deck is simply funny, with 3 outputs, is Qin Keqing still a stream of dead words? The opponent directly focuses on your output, how long can you rely on the auxiliary to drag it?"
The live broadcast room is always full of quarrels. Fans who like Xie Mingzhe want to talk to him. Of course, more people think that his strength is the limit of the top 16. Only Chen Xiao and Chen Qianlin, who are watching the game in the backstage, looked calm and their eyes were particularly calm.
Because they believe that Xie Mingzhe is a player who can create miracles.
