Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chapter 169 Star Card Master Invitational Tournament

Xie Mingzhe seized the last three days to sort out all his cards, and with Chen Qianlin's suggestion, he created several card sets suitable for individual competitions.

Star Card Masters Invitational does not have "two-person mode" and "team mode". All contestants must go through round after round of cruel screening in their own names, and only those who break into the top 32 can be qualified for professional league registration .

This large-scale competition not only attracted widespread attention from the whole people, but at the same time, all clubs in the league will also watch every game in the final round of the top 32, looking for potential good seedlings, so that they can sign them to the club in advance.Some clubs will even look for newcomers in advance during the "top [-] battle" stage of the rematch, which is also the only way for newcomers to enter the league.

The top 32 players can basically get signing opportunities from major clubs. If there are some talented players who fail to make it to the top 32 due to mistakes in performance, each club can also sign him in advance as a reserve player for the training camp. , After receiving formal training, they will compete again next year to obtain formal registration qualifications.

It is said that in the last Masters, five players were selected by various clubs and became reserve players, and they will play again this year.The strength of the players who have undergone strict training from the club will definitely increase greatly. Compared with ordinary online game players, the gap is not usually large. These players will become the biggest obstacle on the way for the four of Nirvana to advance.

At the same time, the major guilds have also discovered many good seedlings who are good at playing sports from the game, and cultivated them to participate in the competition.There are also some folk masters with strong personal strength who have signed up for the competition. The number of applicants for this year's Masters has exceeded one million, which is really unprecedented.

Xie Mingzhe's psychological pressure is not too great. After all, he has often played against the players of Fenghua's second team during this period. He is considered to be half a "reserve", and has accumulated a lot of actual combat experience.What's more, his master is responsible for his deck matching, and his senior brother also told him a lot of precautions for the individual competition. Xie Mingzhe is quite confident in himself.

Chen Xiao, as a former professional player, of course has no problem re-entering the top 32; Yu Ke's talent and reaction speed are sufficient, as long as he doesn't make serious mistakes carelessly in the knockout stage, he should be fine; Chen Qianlin is most worried about Qin Xuan.

This young man has long hair. He has a very special temperament as a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. He looks a little gloomy and rarely speaks. His withdrawn and reticent character is difficult to get along with. But after a long time, Chen Qianlin found that Qin Xuan was still very serious and serious in his work. Working hard, every time Xie Mingzhe puts forward a wonderful scene design request, he can make it as quickly as possible, and the work efficiency is extremely high.

However, his competitive level is really incomparable with the other three. During this time, Chen Qianlin has also been carefully observing the training of the four. What Qin Xuan is good at is not individual battles, but the control of the overall situation. That's why Chen Qianlin arranged for him to serve as an assistant in team battles.

Chen Qianlin believes that Qin Xuan will definitely become an excellent professional support in the future.

However, the masters competition is an individual competition, and Qin Xuan, who is not good at attacking, is actually at a disadvantage. Moreover, Chen Xiao's plant deck style is biased towards crit attacks, which does not match Qin Xuan's personal temperament.

After careful consideration, Chen Qianlin decided to personally customize two plant cards for Qin Xuan and add them to the deck of this Masters.Since Nirvana's current deck is all dark plants, Chen Qianlin also made two new cards based on negative states in the style of dark plants——

The first one is "Blood Rose", a blood-red rose flower, the petals are still dripping blood, when the petals are in full bloom, it will trigger the negative state of "bleeding" for the group within the range, this card only does " Blood Rose" is a skill, so the basic data is very high, the skill cooldown time is short, the action time is long, and the amount of continuous bleeding caused is considerable.

The other one is "Black Elderberry", which is an uncommon forest shrub. Its berries come in many colors, and the diameter of the berries is no more than 1 cm. Clusters gather together like miniature grapes.One of the black berries can be used as a black dye, and the red berries are mostly used to make various foods.

Chen Qianlin seized this feature and designed a "berry discoloration" skill. The whole group of red berries will return blood, and the black berries will cause the enemy group to be dyed after being scattered. The dyed state continues to lose blood every second, and can follow Bloody Rose's bleeding state coexists.

In this way, if two cards stack negative effects at the same time, the enemy group will lose blood very quickly.

Chen Xiao knew that his brother made two cards to help Qin Xuan pass the Masters. He was really envious and jealous. His brother had never made cards for him. Qin Xuan was so lucky... Chen Xiao couldn't help but whispered: "Brother, why don't you make me one too."

Chen Qianlin glanced at him and said, "Your strength doesn't require me to make cards to help you. You can do it yourself."

Chen Xiao: "..."

It seems that my brother is very sure of his strength. Thinking of this, Chen Xiao became happy again. Anyway, the card that my brother made for Qin Xuan can also be used in team battles!It's the same for Qin Xuan to copy a few copies for his own collection after Qin Xuan finished the game.

That night, Chen Qianlin called Qin Xuan over, gave him the new card, and said, "Qin Xuan, this is a card made for you according to your style, you can use it to practice, and you can practice it as soon as possible. Take it out and use it."

Qin Xuan was really flattered that Lin Shen actually made a card for himself. You know, even Tang Muzhou didn't get this kind of treatment back then!Although his expression was calm, his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Thank you, thank you God Lin!"

Chen Qianlin patted the young man on the shoulder encouragingly, and said, "You're welcome, but you try to hide the original information of the card when you play the game. I don't want people to know that I'm back so early. Your style is better at stable field control, These two cards can help you stack negative status on your opponent as soon as possible, and use the bleeding effect to grind your opponent to death."

Qin Xuan nodded seriously: "I know Lin Shen, I will definitely train hard!"

In fact, Qin Xuan was under a lot of pressure, because the final exam of Imperial University was scheduled in January, and he had to prepare for the competition and take the final exam, so there was not enough time at all.Moreover, there are two famous perverted professors in the art department, and the courses may not pass the test.For a week, he didn't sleep more than five hours a day, and there was a layer of obvious dark circles under his eyelids.

But he didn't feel tired at all, he was full of energy in his heart, he knew that Chen Ge and A Zhe would be fine in this Masters competition, and that Yu Ke's talent wouldn't be a big problem—only he was more Dangerous, he can't hold back his teammates.

Therefore, during the three days when he got the new card, Qin Xuan practiced all night and only slept for 3 hours a day, pushing himself to the limit.

***

January 1 is coming soon, and the first round of the preliminary stage of the Masters has officially started.

100 million registered players will be randomly matched, and each player will play ten rounds in a row, with a winning rate of more than 60% to advance, which will eliminate a large number of players.In terms of time arrangement, players can submit a more convenient time slot to the system referee. 20-24 pm must be the most crowded. In order to avoid experts, Qin Xuan deliberately chose 3-5 pm when there are fewer people.

This morning, Qin Xuan still had an exam. He came to the Nirvana club immediately after returning to school. Since he submitted the match in the afternoon session, he will be the first one in Nirvana.

In order to encourage him, his teammates specially prepared a sumptuous lunch.Yu Ke also thoughtfully peeled a big apple for him, and handed it to him, "Eat an apple. My mother said that eating an apple can keep people safe. I hope your game in the afternoon goes well."

Qin Xuan's face froze slightly, the fruit he hates the most is apples... But facing Yu Ke's ingratiating smile, Qin Xuan still took the apples with a serious face and took a few bites, and ate them all calmly.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, Qin Xuan logged into the game ahead of time, and his teammates followed him to watch the excitement.

Today's Phoenix Star Field can be described as "a sea of ​​people". As soon as you enter Phoenix Star, you can see a building in front of you that says "National Star Card Master Invitational Tournament". The scene is even more spectacular than traveling during the National Day.

Qin Xuan entered the building and waited patiently for a while. Soon, he received an invitation from the system——Your game is about to start. There is a 30-second countdown to prepare. If you do not enter the arena during the countdown, you will be deemed to have automatically abstained from the game.

Abandoning will result in a loss, Qin Xuan immediately entered the arena without hesitation.

In the first game, a player from a large guild was matched with a player whose name had an obvious guild prefix. Qin Xuan was a little nervous, but he still maintained his composure, took out the general card group that Lin Shen gave him, and within 5 minutes Surprisingly won the game.

——Do you want to go to the next game immediately?

Qin Xuan took a deep breath and continued to the next round. The second round was also a thrilling one, dragging the tempo for as much as 8 minutes.

But from the third game onwards, it became more and more smooth, and the opponents we matched were not very strong.Qin Xuan also became more confident as he played more and more. After ten games, he finally won ten consecutive victories.

His teammates were all very happy for him, and Chen Qianlin also felt relieved—it was completely opposite to Yu Ke's style of playing when his brain got hot. Qin Xuan's biggest advantage was that he could quickly keep calm no matter how difficult the situation was. Possessing the most rare quality of a support player, and only a calm support can observe the situation of the field well, and use key cards to control the field at critical moments.The cards he made for Qin Xuan didn't seem to be in vain. In just three days, he actually practiced so well, which shows how much he worked hard in private.

After winning ten consecutive victories, Qin Xuan was rarely relieved, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

Yu Kechou shamelessly ran over to claim credit: "Did my apple work? Haha, I knew you would definitely win! Before every game from now on, I'll peel an apple for you!"

Qin Xuan: "..."

Can he say no?He hates eating this thing the most!

But in the end he still didn't say it, and said with a serious face: "Thank you."

Chen Xiao came over and patted Qin Xuan on the shoulder: "You gave everyone a good start, and there will definitely be no problems in the next game."

On January 1th, in the first round of the Star Card Masters, the four Nirvana players all won ten consecutive victories and successfully entered the next round.

There will be a day off on the 11th, but Qin Xuan can't rest because he has to prepare for the next day's exam.Spinning around like this, he doesn't get enough sleep every day. If it weren't for his excellent physical fitness, he might have collapsed a long time ago.

Yu Ke usually trains very seriously, but after completing the training tasks assigned by the coach, he doesn't consciously spend more time on extra training, and prefers to go to the arena to play by himself.However, this little guy is highly talented and has quick reactions. His ghost card assassination style can easily catch opponents off guard, and his ability to catch key cards is strong, so it is relatively easy for him to win in the initial stage.

It was even easier for Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao. Winning six out of ten rounds was a piece of cake for them.

In the second round, because the exam was in the afternoon, Qin Xuan submitted the match for the evening session. He lost one round and advanced smoothly. The other three still advanced with ten consecutive victories.

In the third round, the cumulative promotion winning rate required by the official was increased to 65%. Qin Xuan and Yu Ke each lost a game. Xiao and Xie Mingzhe still have a ten-game winning streak.

After every game, everyone will summarize and discuss, and the atmosphere of the whole club is full of fighting spirit.

When the competition reached the seventh round, everyone had played 70 rounds. Even if it was a short one-on-one match, they were mentally exhausted. Due to the continuous improvement of the requirements for promotion, the initial participation Most of the players have been eliminated, only more than 200 people left.In the eighth round, the final top [-] contestants will be determined, and they will be ranked directly by wins.

So the eighth round is quite critical.Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao have a 100% winning rate to ensure promotion. In theory, Yu Ke and Qin Xuan don’t have to worry about it. A winning rate of more than 85% is very stable to enter the top 100, as long as they can keep the eighth round and don’t get knocked out.

Chen Qianlin's special training during this period has had an effect, everyone's psychological quality is passable, of course there is no crash in the eighth round, and all four of them have successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

On January 1th, the official website released a list of the top 20 semi-finals, ranked according to the winning percentage.

The one who ranked first was actually a well-known ID—Uncle Fat, with 80 consecutive victories and a 100% winning rate!

80 rounds in a row without losing a single round. Fat Uncle is not only good at playing cards, but also playing games?

The fans who heard the news went crazy, and they flocked to his personal homepage to leave a message: "Uncle Fat, you go to participate in the Masters and don't tell us, so we can cheer for you!" "Our fat uncle is awesome!" , the top 666 with a complete victory record!" "Fat Uncle 32, continue to work hard in the position grabbing competition, I look forward to your entry into the top [-], and look forward to your appearance in the final round!"

In addition to Xie Mingzhe's 100% winning rate, there are six other players who also won all, including Chen Xiao's trumpet "Above the Clouds", and a few unfamiliar IDs. Chen Qianlin speculates that these should be from major clubs Reserve seed.

The four of them passed the preliminary round collectively, and the next top [-] competition will be the most intense competition!
