After more than ten hours of high-altitude flight, Meng De and his team members successfully arrived at Wudu International Airport.
At this time, Meng De discovered that not only they had arrived in the Fog City, but there were also several other North American teams in the same batch.
Unlike VC who was alone, they obviously came together.
Although North America has been in a state of decline, they performed well this year.
A total of three teams successfully qualified. It seems that the North American team came together as a team.
The opponent obviously also saw the VC here, because several people in the team were wearing team uniforms, so it was easy to identify them.
It's just that neither side is familiar with it, and only a few mature and steady people in the North American team nodded to Meng De and said hello.
Several North American teams kept interacting with the fans who came to pick them up at the airport, while Mengde asked the players to pack their luggage and start taking taxis to an apartment-style hotel.
This apartment-style hotel is opened by a VC fan's home. It has a gym, restaurant, and training room.
The most important thing is that it is close to the competition venue and has Chinese food, which is very important.
In terms of price, this fan also gave VC a considerable discount, basically making no money from VC and his team.
The VC people are a little bit critical of the Chinese food in the hotel, because it is still different from the Chinese food in their impression. They are all modified Chinese food that favors European and American tastes.
But I can barely accept it. After all, it’s not that easy to eat and drink well when you’re out.
"You've almost adjusted to the jet lag." After a day's rest, Meng De called the team members together.
"I'm resting well, I've adjusted to the jet lag, but it's too cold here. I almost caught a cold." s1mple shook his legs on the sofa.
"You have to pay attention to this. You don't have all your clothes. Come with me to buy some clothes later. Don't get sick at this juncture."
Meng De rubbed his temples: "But we should also prepare to play training matches with other teams. You guys should warm up in the morning and adjust your condition."
"I'll go find those North American teams and play with us first."
VC must adjust the lineup in a short period of time and find a system that can be used in one stop.
The qualifying stage for the major is not far away, and they must seize the time.
After all, 24 of the strongest teams from all over the world are gathered here. If they want to win, they not only need to understand their opponents, but also have strong own strength.
But after VC played against these North American teams for a week, their record was not good.
A few of them seem to have not adapted to the gap between the pace of international and Asian competitions.
At this time, s1mple also suddenly remembered the previous warning from the AO team’s sniper Dahai.
The rhythm in Europe and the United States is different from that in Asia. Now that he is playing with a North American team, he does feel a little acclimated.
Because his little routines that can be used frequently in Asia are no longer useful against these North American teams.
Moreover, it is difficult to gain advantage through his various position selections.
To a certain extent, isn’t this just acclimatization?
Fortunately, s1mple is quite smart and quickly solved this problem through analysis and extensive training.
However, he is the only one who has adapted to the rhythm of the game, which is obviously not enough to support him.
This is the match against 5u, the second team in North America.
s1mple's record has reached 55/3/23, but the team's score is still falling behind.
No one can help him.
"Quit."
Seeing the mine pack being removed, s1mple directly opened the console and turned off the game.
"Tig, don't play like this!" Meng De couldn't help but started saying after watching the entire training match.
Because this scene is not the first one, there were several games with similar situations yesterday.
s1mple is doing crazy things here, while the other four people are as if they are invisible.
Regarding this, Xu Qingru privately commented on the current status of these people: It is better to let Meng De go up, so that at least it can attract some female fans to the club.
Although it is impossible for Meng De to go up to the game, the current state of the VC players is indeed very chaotic.
Xigua's command was a bit procrastinating, while tig still followed the same tactics as in China, and just tried to seize opportunities.
But after arriving in the foggy city, he became a little impatient.
Putting aside the right and wrong of this style of play, he was already a little anxious.
His playing style is very rough, and he has returned to his previous state of being a go-getter.
Sanji didn't have many problems, but Meng De could see that he had adapted well.
He only serves as a support within the team, and Sanji needs to provide financial support to the team on a regular basis. His role is great, but his performance is limited.
As for the kid, Meng De watched a few of his demos and found that his condition has not actually declined, but his current opponents are not at the same level as his Asian counterparts.
His marksmanship cannot be as dominant as it was during the Asian period.
Without the support of marksmanship, many operations would not be the same thing.
"It feels so uncomfortable!" s1mple sighed while lying on the gaming chair.
In fact, the gap between them in the recent training matches is a bit big.
You must know that before, no matter which team they played in Asia, they had at least half a winning rate.
But now, most of the training matches are red.
People who keep losing are almost autistic.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. It's better for us to lose now than to lose in the competition." Wu Qiang, who was standing next to him, came over to comfort everyone.
"Let's talk to 5u and cancel the last training match first," Meng De said to Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang nodded and made a few operations on a computer next to him: "That's it."
"If it doesn't work, let's just focus on our previous personal abilities. We can find opportunities on our own. We're all good at that kind of play," Tig said.
The kid nodded: "I think it's okay. This default style of play keeps losing. It's too uncomfortable."
"No!" Meng De firmly opposed this suggestion.
"Our team's current shooting skills and situation are not good enough to allow us to use our individual abilities."
"That set of default structures is a summary that Wu Qiang and I analyzed for several months. That set of things can be played well, but you haven't adapted to the rhythm of the game yet."
"If you continue to play the Asian single-player style, we are harming you. Training matches are here to experiment with things. If we find problems, we will correct them. As long as we move forward on the right path, we can become stronger."
"But if you go in the wrong direction, you're doomed!"
"But didn't we rely on this style of play to get here this time?" the kid complained in a low voice.
"That's because Sasha's strength in Asia is absolutely overwhelming, and you think Asia is a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. Are you comparing yourself to them?"
"VD, these retired old men, can get the second major qualification when they come back. What do you think of the value of Asian RMR?"
The more Meng De talked, the angrier he became: "Isn't anyone using the Ganla system you mentioned?"
"Isn't ty the one who mastered this system?"
"In the past few years, I was able to at least reach the last round of Asian rmr, and sometimes I was able to enter some invited international competitions."
"But what about now?"
"They have told us with their own experiences that just fighting Ganla is completely useless. Is it possible that we have to go to this mine now?"
"Do you also want to be like them and be glorious despite defeat?"
