Chapter 21: A Young Man with Ambitious Soaring Clouds (4K)(1/2)
The first important reason why VC did not continue to accept interviews was that they were going to accept official interviews.
You have to agree to the official interview, and they have a lot of things to do after the interview, so there is no time to waste.
The interviewer was s1mple, the best player in the game, and Meng De came to act as a translator.
"First of all, congratulations to you. You have won your first victory in this major. How do you two feel about being able to win the Rainbow Pony?" asked the reporter holding the microphone.
Meng De performed this real-time translation for s1mple on the side.
s1mple also answered in stumbling English: "good, is good."
Meng De interrupted his English presentation: "Speak in Chinese and I will answer in English."
s1mple breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied in Chinese: "We are all very nervous about today's game. This is our first time in a major. We are very happy to be able to play against our opponents. Naturally, we are even more excited to win."
So happy."
Meng De next to him translated the meaning of s1mple to the reporter.
This funny scene made many Chinese viewers burst into laughter.
Because the communication between Meng De and s1mple did not take into account the interview at all, the audience in the live broadcast room could also hear the communication between the two.
Seeing s1mple's relieved expression, people in the live broadcast room expressed their own emotions.
[Meng De is worthy of being a top student, not only can he speak Russian, but he also speaks English so well]
[s1mple made me laugh so hard, it looked like me when I was pulled up to speak in English class]
[In the end, I couldn’t answer it in Mandarin, right?]
[Have you noticed that s1mple’s native language is Russian! This guy learns languages so fast! 】
[He studied Chinese in college, I heard the kid revealed it]
After listening to Meng De's answer, the reporter continued to ask: "So, do you have any ideas for future games?"
This time Meng De did not translate for s1mple, but answered directly: "Of course I will try my best to take every step and win every game."
He didn't dare s1mple answer this question alone, because according to s1mple's personality, he didn't know what he would say.
……..
"Young men are ambitious!"
"The challenger group competition officially begins today, and vc, which has attracted much attention from the Chinese people, has also embarked on their journey."
"However, VC, which was on the international stage for the first time, was not too nervous. In the game against Rainbow Horse, they relied on strict discipline to crush the situation in an orderly manner, winning the game and also winning the championship.
First win at a major!"
"Since then, they have got the first score in the challenger group. As long as they get two scores, they will have a chance to enter the legendary group. Although this is a very difficult thing, I still hope that vc can give us a win.
Let’s perform brilliantly!”
The first round of the challenger group has ended one after another. VC, which won its first victory, has naturally become the focus of discussion in the Chinese forum.
Most people were very surprised when they got the news.
They had expectations for VC before the game started, but their expectations were not big.
After all, the csgo strength in Asia is very different from that in Europe.
What's more, VC is still a team with no experience in international competitions.
Once the game is thrown into an unfavorable situation, they may not be able to withstand the pressure.
But they didn't expect that the first vc game would give them a good start.
The domestic csgo circle is in a state of excitement, as if it’s the Chinese New Year.
Even many foreign audiences expressed surprise. After all, VC suddenly defeated Rainbow Horse, which surprised them quite a bit.
However, after being surprised, they did not show much recognition.
After all, which major doesn’t have a dark horse?
VC only won one game, which was not very convincing.
Although they defeated the Rainbow Horse with a huge score today, most of the foreign audiences did not think so.
After all, who doesn’t have a blast in gaming, and Rainbow Horse is still at the bottom of the major challenger group.
VC won them, which is really nothing to brag about.
After the VC interview ended, they also met Snapping Turtle, who was also part of the Asian team.
Compared to VC, they appear more nervous.
After all, in the final analysis, there is a considerable gap in their strength, and this draw also drew the European Eagles, the strongest team on paper in this group stage.
Before the game, they had almost determined the outcome of the game.
No one believed they would win this game, not even themselves.
After all, the second spot in Asia this time does not belong to them. After they inherited the spot, they were already under greater pressure.
Now I met the Eagles, the strongest team in the group, and my mentality immediately exploded.
However, after they saw that VC, who was also an Asian team, won the victory, they felt better for some reason.
Brother Greasy tied his hair up with a hair tie and said to his teammates next to him: "VC has won its first victory. Even if we lose today, we must lose with more glory. We must play our own style and cannot let anyone lose.
These Europeans look down on us."
.......
After the interview, vc did not stay in the venue for long.
They still have to analyze their own problems today and check for any omissions and make up for them.
But also to see who their opponent is tomorrow, Mengde needs to analyze.
They quickly drove back to the hotel.
After analysis, today's problem is not that big, it is mainly about the concept.
If you have more people, you should be able to fight with others, and if you have a steady hand, you can hold a team together. If you have fewer people, you can actively look for opportunities.
But Xigua and Tig always like to look for opportunities.
Although this style of play may sometimes turn an advantage into a victory.
But more often than not, they let the advantages they finally obtained go away.
After identifying the problems within the team, they then look at the results of other teams on the first day.
Of the three North American teams they are familiar with, only Poseidon won the first day.
The Snapping Turtles team that came with them lost the game without a doubt.
However, in the bo1 against the Eagles, although they lost, they still scored 9 points. This is already an extraordinary performance for this Indonesian team.
However, what surprised Meng De was that this stick team, which had been training abroad for two years, was really capable.
They actually won the first game, and just like vc, the score also came to 1-0.
But unfortunately for the vc players, they missed out on this stick team again.
But this time their luck was no longer good. They met their old acquaintances from the training games-the Poseidon team from North America!
Everyone in VC felt a little heavy because their winning rate in training matches with the Poseidons was only about 35%.
The Poseidon team has a strong rise this year. They seem to want to regain their glory in North America. With several star players, their various tactical arrangements are quite mature.
He is one of the favorites in this major.
Except for s1mple and Xiaogui, who were able to compete with the Poseidon team who didn't use tactics, vc was almost crushed at other times.
In Meng De's evaluation, Poseidon has become a team at the same level as aka, both in the t1 echelon.
The next day's game came quickly.
Although many people hope that VC can win, e-sports ultimately depends on strength.
Today’s game was finally decided on VC’s strong map, Lost City.
After a fight, vc won and started the game on the alert.
The VC players all have good handjob skills and successfully got the rhythm in the early stages of the game.
But the good times didn't last long, and the Poseidon team soon started their classic map control mode.
It started to keep playing with B in the middle, and the B area of VC was completely unbearable.
Although in the middle of the game, they relied on s1mple's powerful sniper to constantly look for opportunities, and they also won several rounds.
Even s1mple had a crazy quadruple kill.
But Poseidon adjusted very quickly, and before they knew it, they had begun to gradually widen the gap in scores.
By the time the second half started, VC was already 4 points behind.
In the second half of the pistol round, they made some mistakes in their cooperation, and in the end they were still not sure.
To be continued...
