The top eight list of the Masters was soon posted on the official website, and the top news broke 100 million views as soon as it was released. It can be seen that the number of players who are following this Masters is huge.
Among the top eight players, Fat Uncle, Yunxiao Above, Courteous, and Xingguang have a 100% win rate so far. The club's reserve players, with a winning rate of 99%, have only lost one game. The reservist from Liushuangcheng was out of luck in the round of 16 and was eliminated by Chen Xiao after qualifying for the second round of the group, but Ke Xiaoke, who was not favored by others, unexpectedly made it to the quarter-finals.
At the quarter-final stage, the players will receive a basic bonus of at least 20,000 crystal coins. Yu Ke is very happy. No matter whether he can win the next game or not, at least 20,000 crystal coins will be in hand. This is what he has earned since he was a child. first money.
At 8:00 p.m. on February 1, the first game of the quarter-finals officially started.
Ke Xiaoke vs polite.
Netizens are not unfamiliar with Ke Xiaoke. In the freshman exchange competition of Imperial Capital University, Yu Ke's novel set of trick cards once attracted the attention of many netizens. There was also a big anchor who broadcasted the game live. However, the number of people watching the live broadcast at that time was limited, and it was completely incomparable to the quarter-finals of the National Masters today. It was also the first time that Yu Ke officially appeared on such a big occasion.
Seeing this little boy who is about 1.6 meters tall, people who don't know him are a little puzzled: "Where is the primary school student?" "What a small one, is he an adult?" "It looks like walking Wrong set!"
Ye Binbin is very tall, more than 1.8 meters, the contrast with Yu Ke is too stark, Yu Ke has to lift his neck to meet him.
I thought I would be despised by the other party, but I didn't expect Ye Binbin to have a good temper, so he greeted Yu Ke with a smile: "Hello, I have long admired your name."
Yu Ke didn't expect him to be so famous, so he was flattered: "Hello!"
Ye Binbin is indeed as his name suggests, very polite, the two sat down on their respective swivel chairs, put on their helmets and entered the game.
Backstage, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao are waiting in the VIP preparation area, where there are comfortable sofas for players to rest, and a big screen to broadcast the situation of the arena in real time.
Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe occupied a private room in advance and sat together to watch the game. Seeing this, Chen Xiao leaned into Xie Mingzhe's ear and said, "I don't think Xiao Ke has a good chance of winning. This Ye Binbin is very calm."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "After all, he has been practicing with Pei Jingshan for a whole year, and his Curse Flow deck is very unique, and Xiao Ke may not be able to handle it."
Chen Xiao said: "The spell flow is also quite novel. Let's take a closer look later."
At the beginning of the game, Yu Ke chose the map in the first game. He chose the negative state map "Dark Castle" of the Ghost Prison Club. He wanted to rely on the dim light of the scene to make Hei Wuchang earn more and accumulate marks.
Ye Binbin played very calmly, and the position of the cards was very precise. His cards were all long-range cards. When Yu Ke released the cards that Nie Xiaoqian wanted to teleport to kill him, he suddenly retreated and quickly retreated from the attack. The range, let Nie Xiaoqian's skills flutter empty.
Yu Ke noticed that this person was very powerful, and his mood was even more excited, so he chased the opposite side unceremoniously.
However, as he played, he found that Nie Xiaoqian's card could not exert its flexible advantages at all - because of the existence of the immobilization charm.
There is a card in Ye Binbin's deck called "Fixing Talisman". This card can stick a purple charm with a strange pattern on the body of the designated card, making the card immobilized and unable to move for 3 seconds.
Since the cooling time of the immortality amulet is very short, only 10 seconds, Ye Binbin can control the immortality amulet many times to immobilize Yu Ke's key cards, which completely disrupts Yu Ke's attack rhythm.
Nie Xiaoqian was ordered several times in a row, and Hei Wuchang could not be harvested smoothly. Yu Ke's deck did not show its power at all, and it felt like he was punched into a pile of cotton.
Yu Ke lost very quickly in the first game, and Xie Mingzhe, who was watching the game in the background, couldn't help but said, "Ye Binbin is also considered to be a way to move and control the field, right? It's just that his talisman is a card to immobilize the opponent, and my Zhu Bajie is to walk away. The opponent's cards are used differently, but the basic principle is the same, disrupting the opponent's rhythm by controlling the displacement."
Chen Xiao thought thoughtfully: "This newcomer's consciousness is really good, if he joins the team battle in the Dark Night City next season, cooperates with Ye Zhu's tracking of butterflies and Pei Jingshan's Gu insect outbreak, he will almost be able to secure one and kill one. open."
The City of Darkness didn't do well in the tenth season's team battle, but Ye Pei's combination won the prize in the double competition, because this club currently only has two first-tier players, Ye Zhu and Pei Jingshan, and the other players are of average strength. However, Ye Binbin, who appeared in this Masters Tournament, made Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe impressed. The addition of this newcomer can definitely improve the sluggishness of the team battle in the Dark Night City.
This is the first time Yu Ke encountered this kind of play that uses the "fixing spell" to control the opponent's movement. He wanted to drop the opposite fixed amulet in seconds, but every time his core card just moved, he would always be quickly fixed by the opponent. , is simply annoying.
Melee and long-range battles are impossible to get close at all, Yu Ke is so mad, he can't wait to get into the game and directly PK with real people.
The second game dragged on for 10 minutes, and Yu Ke was finally controlled by the opposing "Sleeping Charm" in a crucial team battle and lost the game.
After losing 0:2 to Ye Binbin, Yu Ke was very unconvinced, and when he returned to the backstage after the game, he was still complaining: "This Ye Binbin is really annoying, his immortality amulet has a very short cooling time, and he immobilizes in 10 seconds. Once, set a time for 3 seconds, almost seamless!"
"This kind of play that relies on immobilization to control displacement, it does have an advantage when encountering a deck with more melee combat, but it is more difficult to play long-range cards. You should throw Madam Meng's forgetting skills to Nie Xiaoqian, and let her be immune to a single immobilization. Body control, then activate the phantom, and cooperate with Hei Wuchang to quickly drop the opposing immortality amulet." Chen Xiao patiently instructed Yu Ke, "It's normal for you not to react when you encounter this style of play for the first time, and you will already."
"Oh, yes, if Meng Po's skills are given to teammates, you can forget all the control and damage. It was too chaotic just now to react." Yu Ke suddenly realized, looked at Chen Xiao in admiration and said, "Brother Chen, you will definitely win when you meet him. , I'm out of play, come on!"
Yu Ke stopped in the top eight and could only get a reward of 20,000 crystal coins, but he was very satisfied with this achievement. After all, he was facing the reservists of major clubs and had undergone formal training.
He is looking forward to Brother Chen and A Zhe going further.
The second game of the quarter-finals was Starlight vs Headless General, the duel between the reservists of the two clubs Pantheon and Ghost Prison. High advantage, 2:1 victory over the opponent to enter the semi-finals.
So far, there are only two seats left in the top four.
The next quarter-finals will be held at 8 pm the next day.
February 2nd, 8pm.
When Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao came to the competition venue, they were shocked by the scene - it was only the quarter-finals of the Masters. The scene was so crowded that it was almost comparable to the official professional league!
Among them, many fans held up the cheering poster of "Fat Uncle Come on", and one girl even drew a Q version of the fat uncle by herself. She was very kind and kind. She held it high and shook it, obviously encouraging the fat uncle.
There are also some joking Q-version slogans: "Don't worry, fat uncle, we are not superficial fans and don't care about your appearance!" "No matter how fat you are, we still love you!" "What we like is yours. Talent is not your weight!" "Fat and cute, fat people are the happiest!"
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
If you do this, you will be slapped in the face later, right? Fat uncle is actually quite thin...
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It seems that a lot of your fans came today."
Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temples with a headache: "What I'm worried about is if they see me in person later, will they smash the poster on my face?"
Chen Xiao said solemnly, "It's possible."
Xie Mingzhe shrank his neck and silently came to the backstage preparation area.
At exactly eight o'clock, the first game started on time - above the clouds vs. overgrown grass.
Compared with Uncle Fatty's popularity, these two players are not very famous. Since above Yunxiao is the vice president of Nirvana Guild, the Nirvana players who came to the scene and Uncle Fatty's fans are also friendly to cheer him on.
Unexpectedly, the man who walked to the big stage was actually very handsome.
Chen Xiao was dressed more formally today. The upper body was a warm light gray shirt, and the lower body was wearing a pair of black trousers with a suitable cut, which lined his legs straight and long. The leather shoes on his feet were spotless, a pair of black trousers. The clothes of urban elite men look very refreshing and capable.
He stepped forward and shook hands with the other person very gracefully.
The grass and trees are a newcomer to the Fenghua Club. Tang Muzhou has long said hello to him to say who his opponent is today, so he was not surprised to see Chen Xiao, but he was a little nervous and stammered: "Chen, Brother Chen, I'm Lin Shen. fans, is Lin Shen okay?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for liking my brother, he is very good."
The man's smile was just captured by the photographer at the scene and enlarged in the live broadcast screen.
The audience at the scene stared blankly at his smiling face, only to react after a while, and many girls screamed: "So handsome!" "My God, is he so handsome above the clouds?!" "He The smile is so charming!" "This appearance will definitely rank in the top ten among professional poker players!"
Everyone admired his beauty.
In the professional alliance group, there was already a chaos of troops at this time.
Seeing Chen Xiao appear, Ling Jingtang couldn't help but said: "I just said, the origin of this person who has been using the dark plant card is not simple, but it's actually Chen Xiao! I haven't seen him for a few years, and the changes have been quite big."
Zheng Feng said, "I almost don't recognize it. Is this Chen Qianlin's younger brother, Xiao Chen Xiao?"
Shan Lan said: "It's him. I remember that he briefly played an individual match for a month in the fifth season. He lost dozens of games in a row. Later, he went back to school because he was not good at the game. Why is he running back suddenly?"
Nie Yuandao put forward a key point: "Chen Xiao is back, what about his brother Chen Qianlin?"
The group was silent for a while, and Nie Yuandao simply asked Tang Muzhou to come out and answer: "@Tang Muzhou, did your master come back too? You should be most aware of this matter, right?"
Tang Muzhou is pretending to be dead...
Zheng Feng followed closely and said, "Xiao Tang, Chen Xiao and Uncle Fat are on the same team. Did your master guide him behind the dark plant cards he made? Come out and talk about it, frankly, do you understand? "
Ling Jingtang echoed: "You'd better explain honestly. Or do you want everyone to torture you?"
Tang Muzhou continued to play dead.
Shen An had no choice but to come out to help the master out of the siege: "My master has gone to bed, and he doesn't know about it, so please don't scold him."
Zheng Feng: "Xiao An, your level of lying is too bad! Who doesn't know that Tang Muzhou likes to sleep in the afternoon and is very energetic at night? Next time, you might as well say that he took a shower."
Shen An immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, I remembered it wrong, he went to take a shower!"
Everyone: "… "
Tang Muzhou: "..."
The little apprentice was a pig teammate, so Tang Muzhou had no choice but to stand up and say: "Cough, I just came back from the shower, I only knew that Chen Xiao was above the clouds not long ago. As for the matter of the master... He rarely told me, I Not too sure."
The people in the group obviously didn't believe it, and everyone continued to watch the live broadcast of the game with doubts.
Tonight's commentary guests are officially assigned, both of them are experienced old commentators, and it is for this reason that the two recognized Chen Xiao for the first time, and the female commentator opened her eyes in surprise: "This... this is Chen Xiao. Xiao? Is it Chen Qianlin's younger brother?"
The male commentator said, "That's right! The player profile does say that the name above Yunxiao is Chen Xiao, the younger brother of Lin Shen!"
As soon as the voice fell, a large row of barrages suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room—
"Is it the rookie brother who lost the 50-game losing streak at the beginning?" "After a few years, I don't know if his level has improved, but don't embarrass Lin Shen again!" "I remember he didn't sign for Sanctuary?" "After five years, why did he come back!" "His record in this Masters is not bad. So far, he has a 100% win rate. He should have worked hard for a while and then made a comeback, right?" "It's good to come back, So thick-skinned!"
Most of the netizens who knew Chen Xiao were unceremonious, and there were also some newcomers who had come into contact with the game in recent years who didn't know about Chen Xiao's past. , Playing games is really good food, and being abused by Tang Muzhou for two consecutive rounds is terrible.
Would you mind coming back? Did he suddenly get enlightened, or did he have the cheek to brush his presence again
Netizens were puzzled.
***
Sanctuary Club.
After hearing the news, Shao Bo jumped up from the sofa, his face full of horror: "What? Chen Xiao? Didn't he just terminate the contract with our Sanctuary a few months ago?!"
The player manager also looked ugly: "Mr. Shao, above the cloud is his trumpet. He just appeared in the quarter-finals of the Masters, so I remembered to come to you in a hurry. Before, our data engineer specialized in analysis. According to the data of the players in this Masters, the comprehensive potential above Yunxiao... is ranked first."
Shao Bo frowned and muttered, "Impossible! It's absolutely impossible." He paced back and forth in the office with a sullen face, followed by, "Did the data engineer make a mistake? How can his potential be number one? Isn't he a rookie who loses in a row?"
The player manager reminded: "That was five years ago."
With a simple sentence, Shao Bo's face instantly turned pale.
Yes, that was five years ago. A teenager who was less than 18 years old kept losing in individual competitions, losing dozens of games in a row, and finally gave up the path of being a professional player and went back to school. Today, Chen Xiao, who has long since graduated from college and grown up, is no longer the boy he used to be.
Five years is enough for a person to change.
Thinking that when he came to Sanctuary to cancel the contract a few months ago, Chen Xiao had a smiling and calm expression, and Shao Bo's eyes suddenly became sharp, he took a deep breath, and there was anger in his voice: "This Chen Xiao, The reason to cancel the contract with me is to come back to play the game again? You said that you are not interested in the game, I was fooled by him!" Shao Bo turned to open the live broadcast screen, narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to see, the former He is so good, after five years, can he still be reborn?!"
