Every December, it is the busiest month in the Star Card game world.
Registration for the National Star Card Masters Invitational Tournament officially started on December 15th, and at the same time, the regular season finally came to an end. After several months of fierce competition, all participating clubs were ranked by points and the top six entered the season. playoffs.
Just like last year, the clubs that entered the playoffs in the tenth season are still Fenghua, Judgment, Ghost Prison, Night City, Frost City and the Temple of the Gods. They are indeed the "six giants" that netizens call them, and their strength is very stable.
Although the championship has been changing, the league playoff seats are always these six, and they have remained for three years.
This pattern is difficult to break for a while. The key is that these six clubs have too many top players, especially original players. It is very difficult for other clubs to compete with them for playoff seats.
The most promising Phantom team, the female conductor Shao Mengchen, has a strong sense. Unfortunately, this team's game tactics are too extreme. This season, it is still seventh, and it is only one step away from the playoffs.
During the post-match interview, Shao Mengchen faced the reporters and said calmly, "It's okay, we will fight again next year."
Xie Mingzhe admired the courage of this girl, and it was not easy for her to persist in the professional league with so many masters for seven seasons.
In the regular season, each game against 2 games is only counted as winning points. The playoffs are a best-of-three-game elimination system. The six teams will first fight against each other, the three winning teams will directly advance to the semi-finals, and the remaining three teams will be sent to the loser's bracket. , After the semi-finals are determined, the knockout rounds are drawn to determine the season championship.
The games in the playoffs are quite intense. You must do your best in every game, otherwise you will face the fate of being eliminated. Therefore, all clubs have tried their best, and novel tactics are emerging one after another. Xie Mingzhe is also a perfect match. looked down.
The six clubs have distinct styles. The elegant plant deck likes to control the field flow and the cooling flow; the ghost prison is a combination of the marking flow and the assassination flow; the dark night has Yezhu's tracking butterfly, which cooperates with Pei Jingshan's Gu insect poison Explosion is a combination of poison and assassination; the ruling is the most simple and rude, and a direct frontal attack; Flowing Frost City is a combination of Death Word flow and water-type freezing, and the Temple of the Gods is a gold-type crit flow.
Among these basic play styles, there will be many changes in the decks of various clubs. The decks of each game in the playoffs are different, which shows how rich the card pools of large clubs are.
Xie Mingzhe watched several games in a row and was deeply touched. With the mentality of learning, he analyzed every game with Master and Brother Chen, and he really gained a lot from it.
In the first knockout round, Fenghua, Judgment and Ghost Prison successfully advanced to the semi-finals, and the other three teams were placed in the lower bracket. However, in the battle of the loser's group, Liushuangcheng unexpectedly slashed two opponents in a row and returned to the top four!
This process is really thrilling and exciting, which makes Xie Mingzhe feel terrified.
Chen Qianlin, as a senior of the alliance, also gave Fang Yu a high evaluation, saying: "Among Su Yang's four apprentices, Fang Yu is the most calm and rational one. The CD of the skills are calculated to score within seconds."
The attack and defense capabilities of the water card are not as good as other decks, but the water control is very strong. However, the connection of control skills requires players to have a very high tacit understanding. If the connection is not good, it is likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity. A wave of counterattacks.
Speaking of tacit understanding, no club's four players can compare with the brothers in Liushuangcheng.
The four brothers, who go in and out together on weekdays, have been training together for many years, and their brain waves can almost be synchronized. Coupled with Fang Yu's calm and detailed command, he just controlled the field with the water system, and successively defeated the powerful temples of the gods and the dark night city with strong tracking and assassination ability.
After reaching the semi-finals again, the verdict was drawn against the city of Frost.
The verdict is best at head-on reckless fights, the fire element versus the water element, this game is also very interesting.
Xie Mingzhe and his teammates still came to the scene. In the first round, the decision was made to choose a fast-paced map, reducing the mental power of the whole map, forcing Liushuangcheng to summon all the cards, and using a speed that caught Liushuang City's The water-based deck was completely destroyed.
In the second round, Fang Yu chose the ocean water battle map, dragged the rhythm and slowly controlled the field, and literally dragged the verdict to death.
In the final tiebreaker, a team battle at a critical moment, there were some minor mistakes in the verdict, which was caught by Fang Yu, counterattacked in an all-round way, and made it to the finals of the tenth season without any risk!
On the other side of the arena, Fenghua and Ghost Prison duel.
In the regular season, Fenghua lost 0:2 to Ghost Prison. In the playoffs, the two sides fought more intensely. They scored 1 point each in the first two rounds. In the last round, Tang Muzhou attacked with all his strength at the critical moment With the invincible skill of "God Tree Blessing", Zhen Man's huge golden python closely followed the group's fear. Xu Changfeng and Shen An joined forces to kill Gui Sirui's ghost card on the opposite side, confirming the victory.
The two semi-finals are both 2:1, and the final final will be a showdown between Fenghua and Frost City!
The finals are scheduled for December 25.
Everyone has no special reaction to this date, because this world is completely different from the earth era. There are no festivals such as Christmas, Spring Festival, and Qingming Festival. People here only pay attention to the New Year, which is January 1. New Year's Day, symbolizes a new beginning. It's only during the New Year that families get together to celebrate, and December 25th is just a very important final day for professional players.
In the final between Fenghua and Frost City, who will win in the end, no one has a definite answer in their hearts. The former was the team champion in the sixth season, and the latter won the team championship in the seventh season. Today's matchup will determine who will become the double champion of the team competition.
The popularity of both clubs is very high, and in the pre-match voting stage, the support rate of both sides is close to 50%.
But Xie Mingzhe was a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that Fenghua was not very good.
Because, Liushuangcheng also hides a Deathrattle card - Dou E.
When Fang Yu asked him to customize this Deathrattle card, Xie Mingzhe thought that Frost City would use the new card this season, but he didn't expect that Dou E's card would be used in so many games in the regular season and playoffs. The card never appeared at all.
In this season's team competition, Xie Mingzhe paid attention to the whole process and did not miss a game.
Whether Fang Yu was pressed for time and did not practice this card well, or whether he deliberately hid Dou E and regarded her as a secret weapon, Xie Mingzhe did not know. Because he had an agreement with Fang Yu, he had to keep this card a secret, and he couldn't tell Tang Muzhou. He could only wait until the final to see if Fang Yu would actually take it out.
In the blink of an eye, it's December 25th.
Xie Mingzhe came to the venue with his teammates. The venue for the finals was much more lively than the usual regular season. Fans of Fenghua wore team uniforms with green patterns on a white background, which formed a clear confrontation with the aqua blue team uniforms of Liufrost fans. With the huge poster of the player's portrait, the atmosphere is comparable to the concert of a superstar.
At 7:30 in the evening, the tenth season team competition and the finals officially started.
The female commentator gave a brief introduction to the clubs of both sides, while the male commentator analyzed the styles and common decks of both sides.
The eight players entered the field one after the other, Tang Muzhou still had a graceful smile on his face, but Fang Yu looked indifferent. With a blue team uniform, the pale complexion gave people the feeling that he was full of cold air.
Fang Yu is a cold-hearted player. He likes to be alone. He doesn't have any friends other than his teammates.
The female commentator said excitedly: "Speaking of which, Tang Muzhou is the apprentice of Chen Qianlin, the originator of the wood system, and Fang Yu is the apprentice of Su Yang, the originator of the water system. The duel between the two apprentices should represent the strongest level of the wood system and the water system!"
The male commentator said: "This game is really exciting. Entering the first game of the finals, the two sides will start the draw! Let's take a look at the results of the draw... Fang Yu drew blue, and he chose first. What map will you choose?"
Fang Yu didn't hesitate, and directly chose an "ice room" map.
The design of this map is also very interesting. It is a pure "ice room" with all surrounding walls and ground full of ice. It looks very cold in winter.
The temperature of this map is indeed very low. After the players enter the map, the entire map will continue to cool down, adding the negative effect of "cold" to the cards in the whole map. Being frozen lasts for 5 seconds, and the map's freezing cannot be lifted, so you can only be forced to wait for 5 seconds to pass before the ice melts.
Since the whole picture is frozen, it is fair for both parties to turn into ice sculptures together.
But the water system is best at freezing the field. If Fang Yu calculates the time for the map to cool down, when the opponent is frozen by the map, use the water poison of the water system to superimpose and control the opponent collectively, which is equivalent to "map control" ” and “Card Control” are combined and connected, which can cause group freezing for up to 8 seconds!
If Fenghua wants to deal with this map, he must bring some more control-free and control-free cards, and don't let Fang Yu connect the continuous freezing. Tang Muzhou also knew this. The moment he saw the opponent's map appeared, he quickly adjusted the deck.
- An excellent commander must not only learn to play the game with the existing decks, but also learn to adapt and adjust at any time.
However, although Tang Muzhou adjusted the deck, Fang Yu's mental arithmetic ability is really strong and a little perverted!
20 cards, specifically which card has several layers of water poisoning negative state, how long the countdown will be frozen, his mind is like a computer calculating, it is clear, every second is not bad.
He can always freeze Fenghua's key cards at critical moments, which greatly interferes with Fenghua's offensive rhythm.
The first game ended at 20 minutes, Liushuangcheng won, and Tang Muzhou was so cold that he lost his temper.
Shen An complained: "Every time I play against Liushuangcheng, I feel a chill down my spine. It's really cold in the winter!"
The scene effect in the holographic game is very realistic, so in the "ice room" scene, everyone will experience the "cold" environment when playing the game, which is also a kind of psychological torture to the players. Tang Muzhou also had a headache. To be honest, with so many powerful clubs in the league, what he hated most was teamfights with Fang Yu.
In the second round, Tang Muzhou immediately chose a lively and sunny forest map to let everyone relax.
He didn't want to drag Fang Yu to play, so he simply put on the "cooling flow" deck, and let Xu Changfeng bring the group CD-reducing cards to play fast, and blow Fang Yu's core cards first, so that their control The field couldn't pick up at all.
The first two games were 1:1, which was also expected by Xie Mingzhe.
The finals are played in five games, and the third game is very crucial.
Fang Yu chose a snowfield map and wanted to slowly grind it in the later stage, but Tang Muzhou once again used the cooling flow card group to break it down. Liushuangcheng's home game was the most difficult to play, and being able to win Rain at home also showed that Tang Muzhou's commanding strength was strong.
Fenghua 2:1 Liushuangcheng, the first to grab the match point.
However, in the fourth game, Fenghua played at home, but Liushuangcheng fought back with a tit-for-tat and moved back to another game, turning the score of the first four games into a 2:2 tie!
Chen Xiao couldn't help but sighed: "Fang Yu is indeed the most resilient player, the great gods of the league gave him a nickname in private, called the 'Unkillable Hedgehog', his Death Rattle card is really annoying. !"
You can fight him. After his card dies, he can give teammates all kinds of strange bonuses. If you don't fight him, you can't win. How to deal with deathrattle cards is a headache for all the gods in the whole league. The problem.
In the first four games, both sides will win one game at home and one game away. In the last game, who will win the championship this season!
Before the tiebreaker begins, there will be a ten-minute rest period, and the cheers of fans on both sides almost burst their throats. The players on the big stage looked calm.
Fang Yu frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
His second junior brother Qiao Xi smiled and said something in his ear. After a while, Fang Yu finally nodded, obviously making an important decision.
Seeing this scene, Xie Mingzhe suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He always had a bad premonition what was going on
