After accepting a brief pre-match interview with the host, the two teams returned to the battle area to debug the equipment and parameters and prepare for the match.

"Your mouth is really poisonous." s1mple was adjusting parameters while chatting with Niko.

Niko shrugged indifferently: "What's wrong with my mouth? I'm obviously telling the truth."

"Is there any lie in the interview just now? If Pepper doesn't perform well, fg will be eliminated!"

"This is the consensus of everyone!"

The director added next to him: "But sometimes the truth hurts the most."

"It hurts my heart, old man."

Everyone in vc seems to be relatively relaxed. In their opinion, there are not many points that need attention in this game.

As Niko said, the current FG exists as a single-core system in most cases. If a few other people cannot step up to help Xiaojiao share the pressure, VC will basically not feel any pressure.

As for what Little Pepper said just now, most of them thought it was just trash talk.

If there is really a way to deal with them, they probably understand that it is a way of playing against s1mple.

After all, in recent games, all major first-tier teams have come up with similar playing styles.

But unfortunately, they learned about it last night and found some solutions this morning.

Even though this solution is not mature, there are two completely different situations between having this awareness to prevent and being targeted like a headless fly.

…

VC was in a relaxed state, but FG not far away from them was not that nervous either.

Although they didn't do all kinds of research, they also developed a set of specific playing methods through game videos.

Once s1mple's performance can be restricted, vc will be just a first-line team. As long as Pepper can perform, the winning rate is still very high.

An active sniper can have a huge impact on the situation.

Although Little Pepper praised Niko's suggestion during the pre-match interview, she did not agree very much with Niko's suggestion.

Because recently, whether from the perspective of game experience or data analysis, his teammates are slowly recovering and can already help him enough.

The number of times he went to jail in games was gradually decreasing, and he even had a hunch that he would be able to enjoy the feeling of winning without hesitation in the future.

But that's definitely not today. The hot state of VC is obvious to all, and today will definitely be a tough battle.

Soon the staff behind him reminded me that the BP phase of this game was about to begin.

The coach behind Little Pepper walked out of the battle room and went to the middle of the stage to play guessing games with the VC coach.

…

"Winning or losing?"

In the VC battle area, everyone looked at the returning coach and asked.

"Of course I won." Meng De replied.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the team members, Meng De smiled: "Everyone wants me to lose, right?"

"Isn't it because, coach, you lose too much in guessing?" the director said sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, let's start the BP." Meng De stopped chatting, and after entering the state, his expression became serious.

He must have given the first ban position to Death Amusement Park. They have not played this map recently, not to mention it is the opponent's strongest map, so banning it will save trouble.

"VC is still the same old classic, taking away the Death Amusement Park at the beginning." Henry, the on-site commentator, recalled, "After the Mystery of the Dead City was released, the amusement park became a map that is normally banned by VC."

"To be honest, I feel it is a pity. After all, what VC showed in the amusement park was very exciting. There is even a map graffiti of coach MD on the front of the car. The last time the two teams played against each other, VC got it in the hands of FG.

victory."

Johnny couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his tone, after all, the collision of top firepower is beautiful.

"As expected, I still refused to let them out of the amusement park." Although vovo had expected it, she still felt it was a pity.

If they can get the amusement park, their combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

On this map, they are much higher than other teams in terms of individual ability and teamwork.

Although they lost to vc once in iem before, vc relied on endless tricks and novel tactics to defeat them with a small score.

But VC’s little tricks and novel tactics don’t appear every time.

For a first-line team, this kind of background is very limited.

With new tactics and new skills, there is no way to have so many endless levels of things in an amusement park without one vc.

What can really take root on a map depends on their default system level and the tacit understanding of the team members.

Moreover, all the skills and tactics of vc at that time have been learned by them and even expanded into new things.

"Dead city or lost city? Choose one." After careful consideration, FG's old coach chose to give the players the right to ban first, because whichever of these two maps is banned will definitely become today's map one.

"Ban the Death City, they have been playing very well in the Death City recently." Little Pepper gave her own suggestion.

The first ban of both sides is completed, and it is vc's turn to choose one.

As fg expected, they banned the dead city, and vc chose the lost city.

"VC chose Lost City, which is very interesting to say. Although this is a strong map they chose, their performance in recent times has not been very good." Henry looked at the information in his hand and talked about the recent battle situation of VC.

However, if Henry had taken the initiative to investigate the performance of the first team in Desert City, he would not have said this.

Because of the map structure and proficiency issues, most of the top first-line teams have a good grasp of the old three cards (Maze, Town, and Sha 2).

Under normal circumstances, even if these three maps are not the strongest maps for the team, most of them will not be very bad.

Lost City is a map with good marksmanship and tactical requirements. Generally speaking, as long as the marksmanship and tactics are at a professional level, this map can be used.

If one of them is very outstanding, it can even become a strong point for the team.

Most professional teams are pretty good on this map, and the situation of staggered wins and losses is common.

However, this situation does not apply to unpopular maps such as Death Amusement Park and Nuclear Crisis.

Because of these maps, everyone's proficiency is relatively low. When there is a gap in the time invested, the level will naturally gradually increase.

This is why some teams are able to achieve exaggerated double-digit winning streaks on maps such as Nuclear Crisis and Death Park, but cannot do so on the third map.

"FG chose Nuclear Crisis, which is a tactical map that favors unpopularity. In the last 10 Nuclear Crisis games, they have won a total of 7 games. This is already a very good data."

The first two map selections have been completed, leaving a total of three maps for selection only.

They are: Scorching Sand City, Purgatory Town and Train Station.

Meng De thought for a while. Although he was confident that he could win the opponent in the first two maps, it was just like the official CSGO reminder: Sometimes your opponent feels hot.

In that case, there is absolutely nothing you can do.

After pondering for a while, Mengde banned Purgatory Town. Although their winning rate on this map was good, compared to other maps, the effect was still worse.

FG sent away the hot sand city and left behind a train parking lot. They wanted to play sniper game with VC in the third picture.

At the end of the bp, both teams were quite satisfied.

Everyone started to enter the server in Figure 1.

Taking advantage of the waiting opportunity, at Meng De's signal, everyone in VC hugged each other again.

"In offline competitions, the audience is very enthusiastic, don't be intimidated by them." Meng De comforted Niko and the two to prevent them from being too nervous when they come to the real big stage offline.

"Let the audience get excited!" Niko felt his blood was boiling as he listened to the cheers around him.

"I don't have any problem either." Wang Yuning replied.

Meng De saw that their expressions did not seem to be fake, nodded, and then said loudly: "Then get ready for the game, and let all the viewers today remember our names!"

"vc!!"

The players returned to their seats and began to compete.

It is worth mentioning that although the FG next door did not do the hugging action, he also put his hands together and did the final pre-game encouragement.

For the professional circle, once something new has an effect, it will be quickly accepted and integrated into its own way.

In the past, most professional teams thought that being surrounded by vcs was just the second level.

However, some psychologists have conducted analysis and explained that being surrounded by VC can help improve the morale of the team, and can increase the cohesion of the team over a long period of time.

Those who think that the secondary two teams are the first to take the lead in learning.

The code within the code is that Denmark leads the evil ones.

Team members from both sides began to enter the server in Figure 1.
