Chapter 96 Is it just a flash in the pan? (6600 words)(1/3)
Is it too easy to win?
The players and coaching staff went over to shake hands, but Tig still chose to stay in the battle room.
He didn't play in the two games of this BO3, so it was a bit embarrassing to go and shake hands with him as a winner.
In the game a few days ago, they were able to win the Red Shield 2-0, which was not much different from their expectations.
But today they faced one of the strongest teams in the world, and they were able to win with a score of 2-0, which made him feel a little emotional.
It turns out that they have grown to this point unknowingly.
Although he watched the whole game as a substitute, it did not affect his happiness for the team.
After more than a year of training, they have become a real team, and he doesn't care about these details.
For today, who can produce better firepower on the right map is the most important thing.
After all, although he has never said it out loud, Tig understands in his heart that 1ve and others have long been dissatisfied with the current results. In the next competition, the championship is not just the goal of one team.
They will also become a team's biggest rival!
…
Tig's thoughts kept going on in his mind, while VC and others packed their luggage and returned to the lounge.
As soon as he opened the door to the lounge, Meng De saw the listless S1le and others.
Seeing their appearance, Meng De already knew the situation of the battle between the first team and AE.
S1le heard the sound of the door opening and asked, "Lost?" while lying on the sofa without raising his head.
1ve shook his head and reported the score: "2-0, a near miss."
"We lost." S1le played with the chewing gum in his hand and sighed again, "1-2, we were beaten one to two, and we couldn't withstand the overtime battle."
"It's my fault, I didn't perform well in the second picture." Xantares said with self-reproach next to him.
He was under a lot of pressure in today's game.
As the first game that officially debuted, it was a nightmare start with the Triple Crown winner of the Major.
In the first few rounds of the game, he lost himself for a time and played like a C player on the ladder.
Although he was later scolded by S1le to wake him up, it was too late for the entire game.
"I can only say that he is worthy of being number one in the world. He did not win three Major trophies for nothing!" NIKO scratched his head and looked quite irritable on the side.
In the eyes of the world, VC is a team that plays on individual abilities.
In normal games, players are required to rely on their personal abilities to create advantages for the team and slowly open up gaps.
But in today's game, after meeting AE, they found that the difficulty was not as high as usual.
Although what the opponent is playing on a personal level is not as good as them.
They will also seize opportunities in details, but after catching one to death, it will be difficult to expand their advantage in the future.
The overall fight was very frustrating.
Wang Yuning took a signature pen and scribbled on the tactical paper for a long time, and finally said: "I think I understand, these guys don't play with their personal abilities at all."
"They are playing the part to serve the whole, and they are playing with collectivism."
Hearing this, the entire team in the lounge looked at Wang Yuning in an instant, and they all had some understanding in their hearts.
Broky asked innocently: "Collectivism? What's the difference between it and a team?"
Meng De sat on the sofa and explained to Broky: "If I understand it according to my understanding, the collectivism that Lao Wang talks about should be the kind where the team completely follows the same idea, and everyone does not care about their own gains and losses.
"
"It should be like this." Wang Yuning replied, "After this game, the opponent always appears in the position he should appear in. It is a bit too reasonable. I don't think it should be the player's own position selection."
Electronic Brother didn’t understand: “What’s the difference between this and team CS?”
"The difference is not big." Meng De explained: "But I think their style of play should be the ultimate direction of the team's CS."
"They should all rely on command and control, and the parts fully serve the whole. This is why your offense is so difficult."
Analyzing the game video, Meng De said with emotion: "Outsiders have always thought it was Luple himself: he is definitely at the T1 level. Today he directly smashed GG to pieces. Do you still need to comment?
No. 1 in wild boar traps: You are exaggerating. Team A lost to FG in the qualifiers? Is it possible that the level of T1 level teams is just like this?
Deduct 1 to get Hellfire: It’s just an upset, and the ability to comment is a bit outrageous, but the many new things shown after the offseason are still quite interesting.
One of them, Brother Laodong, made a very neutral comment: It is indeed too early to talk about whether the strength will become T1. Winning against GG is just their latest brilliant performance, but we all know the GG team.
It is always worrying, and it is not uncommon to be upset, so it is still difficult to completely establish a foothold on the front line with just one game. Give them some time and let's continue to see.
In a forum full of hostility, this relatively neutral statement received more than 400 likes. In the end, even Broky couldn't help but like it.
With the end of the game against GG, the discussion about strength is slowly fermenting.
People are either curious or expecting.
Has his strength really made a qualitative leap in the offseason?
It's still a flash in the pan like Zhurang, but it's just because GG is in poor condition and it's just an upset.
…
The first day of the group stage ended. Some people in each family were happy and some were sad.
Regarding the failure of the first team, Mengde did not put too much pressure on them and did not blame them too much.
Because it wasn't that they didn't perform well, he analyzed the video of that game after the game.
Under Wang Yuning's guidance, the players carried out his instructions, and there were no major mistakes overall.
But they just couldn't get an advantage during the attack and kept losing their advantage in the middle of the game. There was nothing they could do.
According to the details, he can solve a series of problems for the players such as poor ting, preview or marksmanship, etc.
But Meng De knew that there was still a certain gap in the overall level. The opponent's comprehensive ability was a bit higher than theirs.
In other words, VC's current state has not yet reached the stage where it can overthrow AE.
So after the game, they just actively looked for problems and filled in the gaps.
As for the second team, after the end of the day's competition, they began to study the opponents for the next day's game.
Although they won GG without any danger on the first day of the game, the pressure on the second team will be heavy in the following days.
They need to face their former big brother, AKA, the king from the CIS.
After recuperating for half a year, this AKA team has strengthened itself through signings during this offseason. Now judging from its strength on paper, it is definitely not a weak team.
And after removing the older player Bing Shen, the entire team also showed a positive feeling.
The pressure on 1ve is really quite big.
But after watching the video of a game, they actually couldn't see anything.
In the first game, AKA played against an unknown small team, which can even be said to be an experienced team.
AKA played this game quite easily. After a few rounds, 1ve was very sure that they were hiding their tactics.
From this game, except for the specific position information of AKA, he basically did not obtain most other information such as tactics.
Therefore, AKA’s true strength will have to be tested in tomorrow’s game.
…
At around 6pm the next day, all VC members set off to the venue.
Today, because the second team was in the winner's bracket, they were ranked first in the competition. Meng De packed up his things early and took 1ve and others into the competition room.
In the player tunnel, they immediately saw Carlos Yin next to them.
There is no way, Carlos Yin's thigh is thicker than theirs. He is one of the most "playable" players in CSGO, and he is really the most eye-catching among the crowd.
The moment the two sides looked at each other, Carlos Yin waved his hand like a cattail leaf fan to greet Meng De and others.
Although his smile was very amiable, the thought that came to Meng De's mind was that his hand smashed his head into pieces like a melon, causing blood to flow all over the floor.
But these were just his reveries, Meng De continued to turn around and greet him.
Meng De also saw their newly recruited sniper, an artistic young man with long hair shawl.
Well, he looks very stable too.
Steady is completely different from radical offensive snipers like S1le and kennyS. This guy's playing style is completely two extremes. If no one bothers him, Meng De even thinks that he can control the mouse pointer with his right hand and a traditional cigarette with his left hand.
.
A cigarette, a light, and steady can last a whole day.
This person's playing style is really too steady, so steady that people can't understand it.
However, behind his stability, he also has the lowest empty-shot rate among the front-line snipers in Steady, allowing him to have high-value sniper kills.
Otherwise, with his too "old six" style of play,
If you are not really strong, whether you can find a place in the professional circle is really a question.
