After the game, Xie Mingzhe was surrounded by reporters backstage. Everyone praised Guo Jia and Xun Yu, the two wooden cards, and also spoke highly of Xie Mingzhe's command.
Xie Mingzhe still kept a humble and polite attitude and answered questions seriously. His image in front of the public should not collapse. After all, his hatred in the league was too great. If he continued to hate during the interview, it would be difficult for him to walk out of the venue alive.
It was not until the end of the interview, when I saw my senior brother in the lounge, that Xie Mingzhe revealed his true nature and excitedly said: "I can beat Liushuangcheng 2:0, hahahaha, I didn't even expect this score! Do you think I'm very handsome today? ?"
In front of acquaintances, he completely lost the modest and polite look he had just now. With this smug look on his face, if there is a tail behind him, it is estimated to have been raised to the sky at this moment.
The younger junior brother who asked for praise was particularly exciting in Tang Muzhou's eyes. He smiled and walked up to Xie Mingzhe and praised him without hesitation: "You are really handsome today, and the tactical layout of the two games is very good. Listen. Master said, in these two rounds, the combination of the deck was done independently by you?"
"Yeah!" Xie Mingzhe said proudly, "I came up with these two lineups. Our coach is Guo Jia's system, and Xun Yu's system is only tested after winning the first game. I also won the second round! I can only say that Fang Yu was not well prepared today, and I took advantage of it, hahaha, 2:0 is super cool!"
"..." I really wanted to kiss him, but I had to hold back. Tang Muzhou smiled helplessly, and said, "Bai Xu is about to cry, because once Nirvana beats Liushuang City 2:0, the Stars team will almost have no chance in the playoffs."
"Ahem, Xiaobai should have recognized the reality earlier." Xie Mingzhe's excitement had calmed down a little at this time. He found that there was only Tang Muzhou in the entire lounge, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Where's Master? And Su Yang, I remember. Are you with you too?"
"Senior Su Yang took the initiative to invite the people from Liushuang City and Nirvana to have a late-night snack. He and Master will go to set the location first. I'll stay and wait for you." Tang Muzhou gently took his junior brother's shoulders, "Let's go, let's go together."
"Wait a minute." Xie Mingzhe looked at him suspiciously, "God Su Yang wants to invite people from Liushuang City and Nirvana to have supper, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you, Fenghua's captain, why did you join in the fun?" Xie Mingzhe deliberately emphasized the word "Fenghua" and asked with a smile, "Or, brother, do you think Nirvana is very promising, and you want to betray Fenghua and join us in Nirvana? "
"I don't need to betray." Tang Muzhou said cheekily, "Master and junior brother are both in Nirvana, and I am half a Nirvana person."
"..." Rubbing rice is so open and aboveboard, and he can't pick out any faults. Xie Mingzhe obeyed his divine logic and had to keep up with him.
When the two walked out of the lounge, they happened to meet Chen Xiao and the three brothers Fang Yu who had just finished the interview. Tang Muzhou told them about Su Yang's treat, and everyone went to the restaurant together from the back door.
***
Su Yang reserved a large private room near the venue. As soon as Qiao Xi and Su Qingyuan entered the private room, they wanted to sit with his twin daughters. As a result, when the two little girls saw Xie Mingzhe, they rushed to Xie Mingzhe and hugged each other. He stretched one leg and said, "Brother Azhe!" The other said, "Brother Azhe is mine, don't grab it!"
Everyone: "… "
Su Yang's two daughters are too cute, their fleshy cheeks are so tender that they can almost be squeezed out of the water, with big eyes, double eyelids, high ponytails, and princess dresses, the exact replicas make a group of boys' hearts mellow. .
But they both like Xie Mingzhe very much, and they are very close to Xie Mingzhe.
Xie Mingzhe squatted down with a smile, rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "Brother is divided into two halves, how about each of you?"
Seeing this, Su Yang laughed and said, "My two daughters were arguing just now, one said Guo Jia is handsome, the other said Xun Yu is handsome, Xiao Xie, come and judge? Who do you think is more handsome?"
Xie Mingzhe said, "Guo Jia and Xun Yu are both handsome. Sometimes, we don't need to make a choice, we want everything we like! The two physical cards, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, will be given to you by my brother, okay?"
The two little girls were stunned for a moment, and immediately threw themselves into Xie Mingzhe's arms after reacting, saying that none of Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhu Bajie, and Sun Wukong could be spared—all of them!
These three words made too much sense, and the contradiction between the two sisters was immediately resolved.
Xie Mingzhe liked the twin sisters very much, so he hugged them and sat down beside his senior brother.
As the eldest apprentice, Fang Yu naturally went to sit next to the master. However, he was very embarrassed, especially in front of Master, which made him feel a little guilty. After all, it was a shame to be defeated by Nirvana 2-0 today, so he just called Master and sat next to Master without saying a word.
Since he was usually taciturn, he didn't speak, and everyone didn't notice anything wrong.
But after all, Su Yang knew his big apprentice best. Seeing his serious expression and sitting upright, he couldn't help but smiled, and whispered in his apprentice's ear, "I'm sorry for being 2:0? Did you feel that before the match? Nirvana is easy and doesn't require new tactical preparations?"
Fang Yu's ears turned slightly red when he was told, and he didn't know how to answer.
Su Yang said: "Xie Mingzhe can customize Dou E's card for you at the beginning. You should be very clear about his card-making talent."
Fang Yu bowed his head in shame: "I was too careless."
Su Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Flowing Frost City has won the team championship for two seasons, and is the only team double champion in the league, and currently ranks first in Group A in points, making it into the season steadily. In the playoffs, I think you guys are a little bit floating, right? Hurry up and take it easy, it's still too late."
Fang Yu nodded immediately: "I know, Master."
With so many people in the room, Su Yang naturally wouldn't criticize his apprentice in front of everyone. When whispering to his apprentice, he deliberately controlled the volume so that only each other could hear. He knows that Fang Yu's tactical awareness is not bad, just a few words to let Fang Yu correct his mentality is enough.
In fact, Fang Yu is under a lot of pressure. He has already won the "double crown" in the team competition. It is almost impossible to win the championship this season. The triple crown has never appeared in the history of the league. It is precisely because of the good results of the Frost City team competition that the Frost City will definitely be targeted by the entire league in the playoffs. He left more tactics in the playoffs. This idea is not wrong, but It was a bit ugly to be beaten 2-0 today.
Su Yang turned to Chen Qianlin who was sitting next to him and asked, "In this year's playoffs, the admission quota has been increased to 8 teams, and each of the two groups will take 4 teams, right?"
Chen Qianlin nodded: "Well, there used to be six teams in the playoffs, but this year the places have been increased."
Su Yang had just returned recently, and he didn't know much about the reform of the league, so he asked, "The rules for the playoffs are that the first place in Group A and Group B will play against the fourth place, and the second place will play against the third place. ?"
Chen Qianlin looked at Tang Muzhou, who explained with a smile: "No senior. Since the regular season's out-of-group rounds, Group A and Group B were supposed to play two rounds to exchange home and away; In the playoffs, the first and fourth, second and third civil wars in Group A will be played. The champion of the group will be eliminated, and the same will be done in Group B. Finally, the champion of Group A and the champion of Group B will come. Fight for the championship."
In the past, 6 teams entered the playoffs, and the "double-elimination system" was adopted. The losing team was placed in the lower bracket and had a chance to come back. However, this year's increase in the number of teams in the playoffs has made the competition in the playoffs even more brutal. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly, and you will not be given a second chance. If you make a little mistake, you may lose the whole game.
Su Yang sighed: "This kind of rule is really cruel!"
In the regular season, Nirvana and Judgment, the City of Darkness, and the Temple of the Gods all played only one game. The playoffs are destined to fight to the death in the group. Only by winning the championship of Group B can they qualify for the finals.
Chen Qianlin said: "The biggest change in this year's playoffs is not only the competition system, but also the addition of an endless mode to the game rules, you know?"
Su Yang nodded: "I've heard that this is the first time that this mode has appeared. The time limit is 10 minutes and there is no limit to cards. It's all about whoever has the deeper card pool and who has the better formation ability."
Tang Muzhou said: "The playoffs are three wins out of five games. The two sides exchange home and away games. You can choose the game mode of the home side. If you are not familiar with it, you can continue to choose the hidden card mode. But if the first few games are tied, the final tiebreaker will be certain. It will force you to enter endless mode."
Everyone looks complicated, and the alliance has added an endless mode. It will be embarrassing when no one chooses, so the mandatory rule that "the tiebreaker will definitely become an endless mode" is added.
Endless mode, limited time of 10 minutes, unlimited number of cards for both parties, and cards can be summoned at will.
This mode directly removes the stage of bright cards, and there is no distinction between "open cards" and "dark cards", and it is not possible to arrange and adjust cards in a targeted manner. Instead, all cards are randomly selected.
At the beginning of the game, both sides summon cards at the same time, and a new card must be summoned every 10 seconds, otherwise it will be regarded as a passive game. Players must find ways to protect their cards and kill the opponent's cards as much as possible. This is a pair of commanders. The ordeal was a nightmare.
First of all, the commander has absolutely no idea of the opponent's deck situation. The card pool of the big club easily exceeds a hundred cards. After the game starts, it depends on the on-the-spot reaction. When you see the opponent summoning a certain card, you must quickly think of his next strategy and deal with it. If you make a mistake, it is likely to cause a small wave of destruction of your own.
Fortunately, a single kill doesn't mean anything, because after the opponent kills you in a wave, you can also take advantage of the cooldown of the opponent's skills to summon a large number of cards to kill the opponent.
This mode is more intense than the dark card mode, and the 10-minute card pool requires a very strong awareness of fighting and arranging troops. Sometimes you can even use your own weak cards to send death to replace the opponent's strong card skills, use the "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy, and then summon a wave of strong cards to counterattack.
Responding to changes, seeing tricks and dismantling tricks, this is the core of endless mode.
Nirvana’s current deck is actually not perfect, and the dark card mode can still be dealt with. Once it reaches the endless mode of the playoffs, Nirvana’s cards will be stretched against other established clubs.
Fenghua and Judgment have all developed for more than five years. How can Nirvana be able to compete with the number of cards
Once the opponent chooses the endless mode, will Nirvana lie down and admit defeat
Xie Mingzhe silently kept this in his heart, and planned to go back and discuss it with Master again.
***
Today's dinner with the great God Su Yang is mainly for the otaku apprentices to make friends with the Nirvana players.
The match between Liushuangcheng and Nirvana in the regular season has ended. Both sides have a 2-0 match, which is considered a draw. Fang Yu also recognized the strength of Nirvana from the heart. Since the playoffs are group civil war knockout rounds, the teams from Group A and Group B will not meet again unless they reach the finals.
After Fang Yu returned to the club, he forwarded the professional league's "Nirvana upset 2:0 defeat of Frost City", and commented: "Nirvana really played well today, Azhe has unlimited potential, and I look forward to Nirvana bringing you all. more surprise."
Fang Yu has always been reluctant to forward news. He forwarded Xie Mingzhe's personal Weibo in the finals last year, and today he publicly praised Xie Mingzhe. Fans are a little confused - does he have a good relationship with Xie Mingzhe
After seeing the other party's retweet, Xie Mingzhe also reposted Fang Yu's Weibo very face-to-face, and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, and cheers!"
Today's score is very embarrassing for Liushuangcheng. Fans of both sides thought that there would be a large-scale scolding war on the Internet after the game. Everyone was gearing up and ready to mock each other's lines. As a result... Xie Mingzhe and Fang Yu actually interacted friendly
The fans were too embarrassed to scold, they turned off the flames, and moved to the forum to discuss which Xie Mingzhe's character card is the most beautiful. Each flower entered its own eye, and in the end there was no debate about the result. Anyway, everyone will definitely buy, buy, buy, and buy the physical card from Nirvana.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Qing opened a pre-order channel for character physical cards in Nirvana's online mall—
The number of pre-orders of physical cards such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Sun Wukong quickly exceeded 100,000, and the number of pre-orders of the Jinling Twelve Hairpins female character decks even set a new record for the number of pre-orders of cards around the league!
Fans all said: One of the male gods is indispensable, and the beauty deck must also be collected.
If there is another Q version of the pillow, it will naturally come with a set.
Since I became a fan of Nirvana, the money to buy peripherals has become less and less, it is really painful and happy.
Of course, compared to other clubs’ surrounding malls, Nirvana’s malls are relatively small, with not many peripheral products, and the prices are very close to the people, which is one of the reasons why Nirvana’s surrounding areas sell so well.
But the fundamental reason is that Nirvana's cards are doing well.
Yan control is only part of it. Most fans who buy peripherals are because of their love for cards, which includes the skill settings and actual combat capabilities of cards. If Guo Jia and Xun Yu were just war scumbags with empty skins, they would definitely not be as popular as they are now.
Jinyue, the technical housekeeper in charge of the website program of Nirvana Mall, was sweating profusely, for fear that the traffic would be too high and the mall would collapse; Fatty was excitedly counting the deposits in the background, counting the money until he was soft; Chi Yingying was busy promoting in various forums, Attract more fans to book around…
Tonight, the management of the Nirvana Guild worked overtime and was very happy.
In the conference room next door, Chen Qianlin and the four players also hadn't slept.
It was already 12:30 in the morning, and everyone was still excitedly discussing the next plan.
