On the fifth day, the Rose Bowl ushered in Group C of the group stage.
In the first four days, the exciting and fierce battles between the various teams ignited the enthusiasm of the city.
The four teams that have qualified have become famous and have attracted a large number of fans. You can hear talk about them wherever you go.
It’s not just the troll netizens from island countries who are keen on giving nicknames to their favorite star card masters, the troll netizens from other countries are also similar.
That's part of the fun of watching the game.
For example, the administrative system of the Ethiopian national team.
He has a unique spell card called [Blood Collapse], which is very interesting.
This card is somewhat similar to the secret card.
It can plant an invisible "blood mine" on the field.
Blood Explosion Thunder will quietly absorb the "blood energy" lost when your own Star Card Master is injured on the field.
The more you suck, the higher the damage.
It can explode up to 40,000.
The Subayili team defeated two people from the Esseb team first, thinking they were safe.
As a result, due to carelessness, the [blood avalanche] turned into a real hemorrhagic avalanche...
After the principle of this card was analyzed, many people believed that the Ethiopian team deliberately let the Subayili team kill two people.
Sacrifice two teammates to maximize the power of [Blood Collapse].
If no one is hit by the explosion, your own team will be decimated.
If someone is hit by the explosion, the opponent will bleed.
One of them is going to collapse anyway.
All I can say is that this card lives up to its name.
This style of sacrificing teammates obviously has a lot of gambling elements.
Someone carefully watched the video of the battle between the Ethiopian representative team and the Space Marines, and discovered that the Ethiopian representative team actually used this card in that game.
They wanted to send it, but Lu Tietie and others refused to accept it.
It's very conservative.
Seeing that the members of the Ethiopian representative team were showing their flaws, Lu Tietie and others did not hit them hard, but only added a few more layers of fire poison.
Then it exploded, directly killing the member of the Ethiopian team who was controlling the blood blast...
"Blood Collapse"
This is what happens when you lose your bet.
And after losing the first bet, the Ethiopian team actually dared to make another bet on the most critical life-and-death match.
I have to say, they are really courageous.
The Ethiopian national team is half-time coach and administrative director, so it is affectionately called "Gambler" by the audience.
In addition to him, Master Lu also went abroad and got his first world-class nickname - Explosive Genius.
Why is he a demolition genius?
The Space Marines played 7 games, and all 7 games were ka...
It always starts to explode as soon as it is hit.
Fire poison can explode, spells can explode, people can explode...
It doesn't look like an attack that can explode at all, but all of them explode.
It seems that all the star cards in the hands of Lu Tietie and others are inseparable from an explosion.
The two teams that advanced from Group B have begun studying cards that prevent explosions and reduce damage overnight.
To avoid being blown up like these teams in Group A when they meet the Space Marines in the knockout round.
Lu Beibei actually studied them.
After all, the administrative directors of the two qualifying teams in Group B are also people with two skills.
One of them is named Nishu, who comes from the White Eagle Kingdom and is known as the "Water Monster".
He is proficient in all types of water star cards.
In the extra round, a [Water Elemental] summoning card that was invincible and could be fused with each other was used to amaze the audience.
The other person's name is Zackham, a native of Dayang country, nicknamed "King of Understanding".
He can make all types of star cards, and the quality is quite good.
Zackham really understands Star Cards.
Other teams have a team of card designers, and they work together to study a certain team's cards, and Zachham can do it all by himself.
Whether it was Lu Beibei's detonating fire poison, or the [Blood Collapse] in which the Ethiopian team sacrificed their teammates, Zachham was the first to see the mechanism behind it.
He also likes to visit forums and spends as much time writing posts every day as he does making cards.
People watching the game can understand the tactics and routines of each team so quickly, and Zachham is indispensable.
In short, the nicknames of administrative leaders can largely explain the playing style and style of the team they lead.
It can also help the audience remember them better.
These are the future leaders in the card-making industry. If you know more about them, you will be better able to brag about them in the future.
Only Gu Ci, not many viewers wanted to give him a nickname.
Master Gu already has enough nicknames.
Shameless, serious, passionate, random metaphors... there are all kinds of styles, and you can't count them with two hands.
If you include the honorary title that Master Gu won in the domestic Star Oriental Card Maker Competition, you might not be able to finish it in one breath.
Audience a: "Personally, I still think the artist is more relevant. Master Gu's card making makes me so emotional that I can't help but think..."
Audience B: "What do you want to do?"
Audience a: “I want to learn card making!”
Audience A is a battle card master.
But after looking at Gu Ci's card making, I almost got sucked into a trap.
Thanks to his smarter hands, he told him as soon as he held the pen that there are some things you will never learn in your life...
Audience c: "I think the guardian of the blood red flower on the other side is better."
Obviously this is an island audience.
This nickname highlights the word "red".
The red star card is also the issue that most people present are most concerned about.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the spectators sitting down have already started chatting.
Each group has one or two high-profile teams.
Group A is the Space Marines and the Ethiopian representative team.
Group B is the representative team of Dayang Country and the representative team of White Eagle Country.
Group C is naturally Master Gu’s team.
Today is a match in Group C. If we don’t talk about Master Gu, who should we talk about?
Oh, we can also talk to that super cute girl from the island country.
There have been rumors recently that Master Gu took Saito Asuka as his disciple.
It seems like that's really what happened.
In the past few days, Saito Asuka would visit Master Gu every morning and watch the game with Master Gu.
The two walked very close.
Boys are envious, and so are girls.
They also want to hang out with the beautiful girl chosen by God and the extremely powerful Master Gu.
Audience F asked a question: "Do you think Master Gu will let go?"
The reason why the competition committee separates the teams of each country in the group stage is to reduce the occurrence of match-fixing as much as possible.
It’s hard to decide whether to fake the match or not.
There is an obvious restraint relationship between many card groups.
Even if you act openly, if you say after the game that you made a tactical mistake and brought the wrong deck, no one can tell whether you are fake or not.
Spectator F is a girl: "I believe Master Gu will not cheat the match."
Audience G: "Why?"
The girl said: "Because Master Gu is handsome!"
How could a handsome man like Master Gu have any bad intentions?
Audience g: "..."
Audience 10086: "You may not believe it, but Master Gu is best at dealing with girls."
Audience A: "What kind of deal are you talking about?"
Audience 10086: “Confrontation in every sense.”
Audience a: "..."
Audience 10086: "Master Gu has a title in our country, called Girl Killer, do you understand? One shot at a monster, and he will never show mercy just because the other person is a girl."
Audience B: "It's true that Asuka Saito is a girl, but the one who fights is not a girl."
Audience 10086: "Then they are even worse."
Audience b: "..."
Audience c: "It's over, our Asuka-chan won't be beaten to death by Master Gu..."
Audience B: "Didn't I tell you that Asuka Saito won't play?"
Audience C: "Do you know what team spirit is? We are all on the same team. If the battle card master is beaten, doesn't it mean that the card maker is also beaten? Those are red star cards, and they are not on the same team.
At the level, if you really lose, others will first think that the gap between the card makers is too big."
Audience G: "So what is the effect of the red star card?"
Audience A: "That's a good question, don't ask next time."
If they knew the effect of Master Gu's red star card, would they still be talking about Little Bird here?
It's already started, right?
In the name of popular science, I show my knowledge to everyone.
Who doesn’t know how to show off invisibly?
But the problem is, they really don’t know!
There are already two mountains of discussion threads about red star cards on the forum.
Especially in the days just after the Grammy Awards, there were so many questions.
In the end, Zackham, the old man who always understood it, replied: "This is a taboo. Everyone who understands understands it. If you don't understand, I can't help it. I can't explain it."
So a few people know that red quality is called taboo.
But that's all.
The specific effect of the card is always unknown.
However, many netizens have their imaginations running wild and are guessing about it.
Some guessed "turning everyone on the opposite side into beauties in black stockings", some guessed "making the target obey the user's instructions and can be erotic", and some guessed "summoning a black hole and absorbing everyone's clothes and light"...
There is no reliable one.
Many people bought today's tickets to come to the Rose Bowl to watch the game, just to see the effect of the Forbidden Star Card with their own eyes.
In the preparation area, Gu Ci could clearly feel that many spectators were looking at him.
But he wasn't nervous at all.
The nervous ones were Zheng Fanfan, Lin Niaoniao and others.
Because Coach Gu asked them to play!
As substitutes, Zheng Fanfan and the five others are actually aware and have long been mentally prepared to sit on the bench for a month.
The official match is not like the qualifiers, every game is crucial.
Their strength is indeed not as good as Xia Zhi and others, so it is safest to let Xia Zhi and others play.
During dinner this morning, they were still cheering for Xia Zhi and others.
"Lu Tietie and the others can win 7-0, and so can you!"
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the preparation area, Coach Gu asked them to do warm-up exercises...
"I said that I will give each of you a chance to play, not just in the group stage." Gu Ci said, "You don't have to be nervous, just play how you want. You are no worse than anyone else."
Zheng Fanfan and the other five were filled with emotion.
They have never been the most talented students, but Coach Gu has always trusted them so much.
Coach Gu, he really...
"Be serious for a moment and don't embarrass Coach Gu." Su Xiaoyan rarely took the initiative to say something.
The girl's cold temperament makes people feel arrogant.
Zheng Fanfan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, we will fight to death soon!"
Su Xiaoyan: "..." That's not necessary.
Lei Meng laughed and scolded: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, you guys hurry up and warm up, maybe you will be the ones to play in the first game."
Zheng Fanfan and five others: "Okay!"
The referee held up a loudspeaker and called for the draw.
This time Gu resigned.
The representatives of the other seven teams are also the people who drew lots at the opening ceremony.
Gu Ci's face was filled with a warm smile: "Good morning, everyone."
Everyone: "..."
No, we are not good!
Only Saito Asuka sweetly shouted: "Teacher."
Gu Ci nodded with satisfaction, Xiao Feiniao was better behaved.
Unlike these guys, they don't even know how to say hello.
Lu Beibei watched this scene from a distance, feeling happy.
Thinking about it, didn't he have the same expression when he saw Gu Ci?
I always feel that Gu Ci should not appear in front of me and steal my limelight.
Although more than half a year has passed, he no longer cares about being dominated by Master Gu.
But Lu Beibei is still happy to see others have the same experience as herself.
I can't help it, people are just so vulgar.
"I am not happy."
"What? You're not happy too?"
"Then I'll be much happier now."
Hey.
There are two balls each from numbers 1 to 28 in the box, a total of 56 balls.
Each team takes turns to draw once, for seven rounds.
The number is the order of the game. From small to large, two teams with the same number will take the field in order to compete.
If a team draws a number that it already has during the process, or there is a repeated battle, it will be put back and drawn again.
Until each team plays one game with the other seven teams.
"I hope I won't be the first to meet the teacher..."
Saito Asuka, who had an ostrich mentality, whispered and put his hand into the box.
Then I drew a 1.
Gu Ci also drew a 1.
Saito Asuka: "..."
Gu Ci: "..."
I didn't know how to comfort the little bird for a while.
Gu Ci thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this is fate?"
Saito Asuka: "..."
o(╥﹏╥)o
The other six people couldn't help laughing.
Gu Ci glanced at them.
Are you laughing at my apprentice?
"Make it as if you don't have to fight us," Gu Ci said.
Everyone: "..."
I couldn't laugh anymore.
This time Saito Asuka smiled.
Although I will be ravaged by the teacher first later, the teacher really feels safe!
Like the cold big brother in the comics who says "Only I can bully you, no one else can bully you"!
(〃?〃)
"Teacher, I'll go back and prepare first."
After drawing the lots, Asuka Saito raised his little hand to grab, not wave.
Kato Miko's heart skipped a beat when she saw this action with a telescope.
Finished!
Such a cute and special farewell gesture...
Little Feiniao regards Master Gu as one of his own!
Wuwu bird, my little bird...
The first game starts soon.
The audience in the front row keenly noticed that the faces of several teams in Group C were a bit complicated.
Four points solemn, three points silent, two points depressed, and one point helpless.
"Isn't that true?"
"Even if Master Gu is great, it's because Master Gu is great."
"How strong a battle card master is, 80% depends on how strong the star card in his hand is, but doesn't 20% also depend on himself?"
"Well, it's not like they have no chance of winning...ah?!"
As the audience member spoke, his eyes suddenly widened, his "ah" pitch gradually increased, and his mouth opened and could not be closed.
