Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chen Xiao unexpectedly defeated Zheng Feng 2:1 and entered the quarterfinals of the individual competition.

Many people on the Internet think that his victory against Lao Zheng is more due to luck. The key is that the random map "Magic Mirror Forest" in the third game is a mirror map with many obstacles, which is more suitable for long-range plant card battles. Lao Zheng's soil system The stone card has high defense, but it is bulky and clumsy in movement, so he seized the opportunity to kill it with one blow.

Of course, there are also many reporters who issued a press release saying that luck is also a part of strength. If you are replaced by other players, even if you encounter the magic mirror forest map, you may not be able to beat Zheng Feng. He can no longer be compared with the little Chen Xiao who played one game and lost one game in the fifth season. Now he is really famous as the "counterattack king".

Fans also joked: "Brother Chen has to give away a kill in a game first, and he won't play if he doesn't lose a game." Thrilling!" "Anyway, winning is winning, looking forward to the next game!"

After the game, Chen Xiao's fans soared to 5000 million. The outside world gave him mixed reviews, but Chen Xiao didn't care. He cared more about his brother's opinion.

Back at the club, Chen Qianlin routinely called everyone to review the game in the conference room, and praised Chen Xiao's performance: "This game was indeed played well. If you keep working hard and maintain your current state, you can go further."

Chen Xiao smiled all over his face: "Well, I will!"

It's been a long time since I heard my brother praise himself.

Chen Xiao was in a happy mood, and he worked harder in the next training.

Three days later, the 1-to-4 knockout rounds were all over, and the list of the top eight was finally announced on the official website of the professional league. At the same time, the arrangement for the next round of quarter-finals was announced——Xu Xingtu vs. Chen Xiao, Tang Muzhou vs. Pei Jingshan, Shan Lan vs Nie Yuandao, Xu Changfeng vs Ling Jingtang.

Opponent Xu Xingtu, the game time is September 9.

Xu Xingtu is a special player. He doesn't know how to make cards. All the magic cards he uses are designed for him by Ye Suqian, the chief card maker of the Temple of Gods Club. This player is famous for being arrogant and arrogant. He is easy to get along with, but he has to admit that his personal strength belongs to the top echelon in the current professional league, and the unique style of play of the god card is also difficult to deal with.

Xie Mingzhe has been studying the characteristics of each player during this time, including Xu Xingtu. After seeing the schedule, he took the initiative to send his analysis of Xu Xingtu to Chen Xiao, saying: "Brother Chen, Xu Xingtu's magic card and my The celestial cards are somewhat similar, so when we single-handedly practice the lineup in the next few days, I will use the celestial cards to practice with you!"

Chen Xiao was very grateful, grabbed Xie Mingzhe's shoulder and said, "Thank you."

Xie Mingzhe said bluntly: "Why are you being polite? We are teammates, we should help you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, without saying any more polite words, they turned to Chen Qianlin to discuss the deck.

Chen Qianlin said calmly: "Xu Xingtu's magic card can float in the air. To fight against him, you can use more long-distance group attack cards and blood-sucking vines to control the field. You can also bring Widowmaker to disable his Athena's buff effect. Bring another instant death card to deal with Lucifer... The god card's ultimate move is extremely powerful, but the skill cooldown time is long, you can get stuck in the rhythm, and fight back when his skill cools down..."

Chen Xiao listened carefully, carefully remembering the details of what his brother said.

In the next few days, he and Xie Mingzhe, Yu Ke and Qin Xuan practiced and played against each other every day.

The three of them control a large number of immortal cards such as the Eight Immortals, Seven Star King, Lei Gong and Dian Mu to fight against Chen Xiao. Although the styles of skill design are quite different, there is a certain degree of similarity between the immortal cards and the divine cards. Xiao PK gave him great help, allowing him to figure out a strategy for facing Xu Xingtu by drawing inferences from one instance.

Coupled with Chen Qianlin's patient guidance, Chen Xiao became more confident as he played.

***

The eight-to-four competition officially started on September 9.

At 19:00 in the evening, Shan Lan vs Nie Yuandao. 20:30, Chen Xiao vs Xu Xingtu.

The official arrangement is probably to attract more spectators and sell tickets. After all, the popularity of Nie Lan and his disciples is at the peak in the league. The match between Tang Muzhou, Ling Jingtang and others is staggered to tomorrow. Tickets were all sold out.

There were many fans of the verdict at the scene. They didn't know whether to support Xiao Lan or Lao Nie, so they held up the cheering slogans of master and apprentice.Shan Lan's expression looked very relaxed, and he was still sitting beside Nie Yuandao talking with a smile, as if he didn't mind the result of the game at all.

But in actual combat, Shan Lan also fought very hard, and did not show mercy to his master.

The duel between the birds in the air and the beasts on the ground was extremely exciting, and the audience was hooked.But what I didn't expect was that in the end, Shanlan defeated Nie Yuandao with a slight advantage, which surprised the fans. Shanlan himself was also quite confused, and was in a daze on the stage.

Until Nie Yuandao walked over and said in a low voice: "You have won, the blue is the blue."

Shan Lan came back to his senses and looked at the confusion on Master's face: "Why didn't you hide that last skill? You should be able to dodge it..."

Nie Yuandao stroked his hair lightly, and said, "Three years ago, I could avoid it, but now, my reaction is indeed not as fast as before. The league should be dominated by your new generation of players."

Shan Lan understood what he meant, and her eyes suddenly became sore.

It was hard to say too much on the stage, so he could only hug his master tightly and hold back the tears in his eyes.

In fact, when Chen Xiao defeated Lao Zheng in the [-]-to-[-] knockout round, Shan Lan had a strange feeling. The older generation of players, who have been with the Star Card League for eleven seasons, have a really fast reaction speed as they get older. It will decline year by year-this is a cruel fact, there will be such a "alternation between old and new" in every competitive event.

But it was really hard for Shan Lan to accept it as the master.In his heart, this man is always so strong, holding up the sky of the judgment with one hand, how can such a man decline in state?how can that be possible?

Shan Lan, who had won the master, was not happy at all. During the interview, he forced a smile to answer a few questions, and then returned to the backstage with his head down.

Nie Yuandao saw through his thoughts, put his arms around his shoulders and said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, I'm not leaving right away."

Shan Lan felt lost, and went back to the club without even watching the second game.

The fans were very worried and didn't know what was going on with God Nie, but Xie Mingzhe quickly figured it out, and leaned into his senior brother's ear and asked, "Is God Nie retiring after finishing this season? Lanlan must be reluctant, right?"

Tang Muzhou said helplessly, "There's nothing you can do about it. Lao Nie has been playing for 11 years, so he wants to rest."

Xie Mingzhe has mixed feelings. There is no eternal king in competitive events. Every player's career will end one day, but he knows that even if great masters like Nie Yuandao and Zheng Feng leave, the players and fans of the league will always be there. remember them.

***

Since the first master-apprentice civil war was so exciting, the audience's requirements will naturally become higher in the second game. I hope that Chen Xiao and Xu Xingtu will also bring you a better game.

Before the competition started, many people on the Internet bad-mouthed Chen Xiao: "In the doubles competition, Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke were eliminated when they entered the eighth and fourth rounds. I think Chen Xiao's round is also very close!" "The last time I defeated the old Zheng is lucky, I don't believe good luck will always follow him!" "It is estimated that Chen Xiao will enter the quarterfinals at most."

The pre-match support rate was 65% for Xu Xingtu and 35% for Chen Xiao. The only ones who were optimistic about Chen Xiao were Nirvana's diehard fans and some passers-by who liked to bet on upsets.But Xie Mingzhe, who was watching the battle backstage, was full of confidence in Brother Chen——

In the past few days, he took out 43 celestial cards and played against Chen Xiao according to the various decks prepared by his master. Brother Chen not only became familiar with his new celestial cards, but also summed up many strategies for dealing with Xu Xingtu.It should be said that Brother Chen's winning rate is more than 50%.

In the first game, Xu Xingtu's home field was the map "Bright Temple", and the cards in the whole scene were immune to any negative status and control.

Maps that control skills and negative effects cannot be used, and players can only compete head-to-head.Chen Xiao tried his best to consume with Xu Xingtu in the first round, but the positive output ability of wood-type plant cards was indeed inferior to that of gold-type cards, and Xu Xingtu's luck was particularly good today. Michael, Poseidon, and Loki's group attacks all Triggering a critical strike, Chen Xiao regrettably lost a round.

Su Yang couldn't help complaining: "Chen Xiao is really like what the netizens said, he can't play until he loses a game? From the group stage to today's eight out of four knockout rounds, he played a total of four games, and every time he came up he had to Lose a round first!"

Wu Yue said with a smile: "Perhaps this is called 'lose first, respect'?"

Many Nirvana fans in the live broadcast room joked: "Brother Chen always loses first, and then wins two rounds to fight back and kill the opponent!"

But some passers-by gloated: "It's not that easy to counter-kill Xu Xingtu today. If he wins 2:1 again, I'll eat the helmet live."

Obviously, Xu Xingtu played too domineeringly in the first round, and the momentum was in full swing. Intellectually, no one believed that Chen Xiao could counterattack.

However, in the second game, Chen Xiao took out the annoying map of the Nirvana Club - Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The long-lost map of Grandma Liu won warm applause from the audience.

This is the map Xie Mingzhe picked for Chen Xiao.

Having personally made so many fairy cards, Xie Mingzhe certainly knows what the fairy cards are most afraid of.

Immortal cards that can float in the air are relatively difficult to kill. For example, long-range output cards such as Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi can completely float high in the air and throw skills far away. As a long-range fortress, its own output ability is very strong, but others cannot reach it. They played very comfortably.

And the most annoying thing about this type of output card is the frequent displacement.

The scene where Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden is a dynamic event, and all cards must follow Grandma Liu.

Xu Xingtu's magic cards such as Lucifer and Micah are the strongest in the output ability of long-distance ults, allowing them to keep moving with Grandma Liu, and the magic cards will also be a headache. Xiao caught the mistake and was pulled back to the ground. The god card with extremely weak defense would never end well.

Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe have practiced this map many times, and the winning rate of plant cards is higher.

When Xu Xingtu saw this map, he only raised his eyebrows in surprise, and soon he smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

When Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, she took it out for the first time and caught the opponent off guard. But after this map appeared in the first half of the year, other clubs have already studied this map thoroughly, so they still use it?Really, I didn't know you could control the distance?

Xu Xingtu sneered in his heart, feeling that Chen Xiao's actions were grandstanding.

The game started quickly, and the two sides announced 5 cards, and Chen Xiao actually directly brought real Taiyi in the cards.

Daoist Taiyi's "Nine Dragons God Fire Cover" can seal the gods, which can be regarded as an instant death judgment.But most of the players with dead cards will put them in the dark cards, and Chen Xiao directly puts them in the bright cards. This is obviously the key protoss who wants to give up the star map.

Xu Xingtu was a little surprised, but he didn't mind. That is, dead cards can be exchanged for 1 at most. Even if the opponent forcibly replaces a magic card, he can still win 1V6.

Winning Taishun in the first round, Xu Xingtu confidently replaced Athena with the hidden card, intending to win the second round simply and neatly.

The second game officially started.

At the beginning, Xu Xingtu played very aggressively. His god card has a lot of group attack skills. As long as Chen Xiao does not bring a healing card, it is difficult for crispy plants to withstand the continuous group attack bombardment of the god card. What's more, Xu Xingtu also has Lucifer and Micah Le's "Light and Darkness" linkage skill.

Chen Xiao started the game passively, but in a blink of an eye his plant cards were drained of blood, and the hearts of the fans were in their throats, fearing that Xu Xingtu would make another group attack, and Chen Xiao's side would be completely wiped out.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao summoned the vampire vine at a critical moment.

Dense blood-colored vines quickly covered the ground, and swept towards the divine card floating in the air!

The vampiric vine will automatically search for hostile targets within the range, entangle the opponent and absorb 2% of the opponent's blood per second, and the absorbed blood will be converted into group healing in proportion to the healing of teammates within the range.

This card is a typical blood-sucking healing card for group battles. The more cards the opponent has, the more blood they can absorb, and the higher the healing amount.

At this time, Xu Xingtu had already summoned 6 cards in order to grab the rhythm. Chen Xiao released the blood-sucking vine, and a wave of blood-sucking caused Xu Xingtu's 6-card group to lose 2% of their blood, which was converted into our healing amount, equivalent to 12% at a time. Left and right group plus.

The blood volume of the plant card on the verge of death was forcibly raised.

But it's useless, this blood is not enough for Lucifer's big move.

The black wings on Lucifer's back suddenly opened, and at the same time, the white angel wings on Michael's back also waved - light and darkness, the magic card linked!

This is the scene that Pantheon fans are most looking forward to.

The linkage of these two group attack cards can almost destroy the world in damage.

However, Chen Xiao will not sit still.In the past few days, he repeatedly studied Xu Xingtu's game video and observed the player's attacking rhythm. The moment Lucifer spread his wings, he knew that Xu Xingtu was going to expand, so he released Taiyi real person without hesitation.

——God card seal!

Taiyi Daoist's seal was rightly aimed at Lucifer.

It stands to reason that if this seal continues, Lucifer will be covered and completely lose his fighting power.

However, Xu Xingtu is very smart. Among the revealed cards is "Taiyi Daoist" which is an instant death card for the Protoss. Of course, he must prevent the instant death card from being Lucifer or Michael, so he also summoned The hidden card Athena.

——The protection of the goddess, the golden shield resists all fatal damage within 3 seconds!

I saw the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield rising into the air, trying to seal Lucifer, but bumped into Athena's shield, which didn't work at all.

Instant death card invalid?

Seeing this, the audience's eyes widened in surprise.

Su Yang quickly explained: "The instant death card is indeed a priority, but if someone activates invincibility before the instant death card is released, they can still block the instant death skill. The speed of reaction is very important-Xu Xingtu's prediction is very accurate, Athena was summoned to protect Lucifer in advance, and Chen Xiao's instant-death skills were blocked."

Wu Yueyu said with regret: "The dead card comes out, just to lose the opponent's key card in seconds. It is really a loss to be guarded by the opponent. It is a blood loss! It is equivalent to giving away a card for nothing."

Liu Chen frowned slightly: "Chen Xiao should have thought that the other side would bring Athena, how could he make such a mistake?"

Xu Xingtu wanted to laugh out loud——Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, you took an instant death card and tried to kill Lucifer, but was blocked by Athena's shield. Your usage of this instant death card is really a negative teaching material in this league ah!

Daoist Taiyi's defense was extremely weak, and he failed to seal Lucifer when he appeared on the stage. Instead, he was killed and gave away a card for nothing.

However, Lucifer and Michael used a joint technique, and a group attack was smashed down, and Chen Xiao lost two more cards.

4:7, Chen Xiao really has no chance of winning!

The fans in the live broadcast room were anxious, and the players watching the game backstage sat up straight.

what's going on?Chen Xiao made a mistake?Or is he really inferior to Xu Xingtu?

At this moment, a familiar sound sounded, and an old woman in plain clothes appeared unsteadily.

——The long-lost Grandma Liu.
