The first day of the game ended successfully. Although there was an episode in Figure 2 where we were scored 7 points in a row at the beginning, the problem was not that big.
Meng De took the team members to watch the video of the game and started the error correction process.
Everyone's restless hearts gradually calmed down.
Then the outcome of today's second game in Group A slowly emerged.
The result did not surprise the VC team. This strong first-line team from France finally won the game.
However, his process was a bit tortuous.
Playing LL with FG is not as easy as playing SSS with VC.
Instead, they almost overturned.
In picture 1, LL shows iem that the home team this time is not just the VC team.
In the desert city in Figure 1, ll showed super high-level marksmanship. Although they are still inferior in tactics and coordination, for an FPS game, marksmanship is really too important.
There are a few people in picture 1, and they were beaten to the point where the French people were running away with their heads in their hands.
The big sniper of pp kept firing on the map, more like hitting them on the head with France.
Figure 1 ended with a score of 16:3, and ll unexpectedly won the map.
Picture 2 came to the nuke town chosen by fg. Although everyone in ll had a bad start, they relied on h0pe's endgame performance to regain the rhythm of the game.
Just when everyone thought they were going to perform the same script as VC today, ll failed to withstand the pressure at the critical moment.
FG's talented sniper Xiaojiao killed three times in area B, tearing through ll's defense.
Later, they relied on resilience to get the match point, but they were still chased to the match point.
ll has made great progress in the past six months, but they also have a problem, that is, their lack of experience in competitions.
In the end, they couldn't resist it in one breath, and fg took down the second picture.
Arriving on the train in Figure 3, FG’s talented sniper Pepper started a crazy performance.
In the end, they lost today's game with a score of 1:2.
But most people praised ll.
If the rise of VC allowed them to see domestic hope, then the follow-up of LL allowed them to see the renaissance of a division.
The level of the entire competition area is slowly getting higher.
When pp was interviewed after the game, his answer surprised the audience, because pp actually thanked vc.
I saw that the top of the screen was a little disappointed, but I still smiled and answered the blogger's interview: "Our recent improvement in level is due to our own hard training."
"With the continuous help from our brother team VC, the opportunity to play against strong teams is rare, but VC has always provided us with this opportunity."
"If it weren't for VC, we might not even be able to enter the IEM main tournament."
"I still have to thank Meng Jiao."
"And our recent state has been relatively good, and the VAC alliance has played a big role."
.......
"It's so sincere." Meng De covered his head, and of course he was a little happy that pp took all the credit on himself.
But after you are happy, you will inevitably be troubled.
Because there may be an endless number of teams that will schedule training matches with them in the future.
The number of teams in training matches has increased, which is not a big deal.
Meng De is just a little worried that teams with ulterior motives will appear in the future.
"Coach, we are going out to play, do you want to come together?" Xigua invited Mengde.
After watching their own game videos and fg's recent game videos, the players had nothing to worry about.
"You go ahead, I'll analyze the game for a while." Meng De waved his hand.
He just took the players to watch the game video to give them a general impression of their opponents.
But he can't. As a coach, he needs to analyze some of fg's recent playing styles and deal with them accordingly.
And only he can do this job now.
Although the players joining can greatly share his pressure.
But there is a word in the e-sports circle called "over-interpretation". Once you analyze your opponent too deeply, you will not be able to help but think too much when making many operations.
Sometimes it will affect your original level.
So this kind of work can only be done by coaches and analysts.
After reading it several times, Meng De wrote down all the points he thought could be targeted in the notebook. When he saw that the team members hadn't come back yet, he asked them in the group not to play too late and went to rest.
Although he is not the one playing the game today, during the game, as a coach, the energy required is also huge.
Meng De quickly went to bed.
The next morning, he was indeed the first to wake up.
Mengde woke up kennys and twistzz in his room.
But when I walked to twistzz's bedside, it felt a little strange.
Why did this kid's hair change color?
"twistzz? twistzz!"
The young man gradually woke up under Meng De's shouts. He was still a little dazed and was in a state of being forcibly awakened.
"What's wrong, coach?" twistzz asked drowsily.
Meng De poked twistzz's flowing hair with his hand.
"What's going on with this hair?"
twistzz is still in a state where the body is awake but the soul is still in a dream. After a while, he slowly asked:
"Coach, what did you say?"
"I asked you what happened to your hair." Meng De raised his voice a little louder.
"The kid asked me to do it with him yesterday." twistzz said as he put on his glasses.
Meng De looked at his hairstyle carefully and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Simply looking at the twistzz hair style is not particularly good-looking.
But compared to before, this hairstyle covers the defect of twistzz's brain.
And he also followed Meng De's suggestion and bought a new pair of glasses.
The whole person looks different from the boring one before, and has a different kind of publicity.
twistzz is still a little worried, wondering if he has done something wrong.
"It's okay. Where did you get your hair? It's very good." Meng De praised it. Although it looked a bit arrogant, twistzz gave people a much better impression than before.
"The kid took me there. I heard it's called Yamashiro Oguri Shun. The boss is quite nice." twistzz breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the coach didn't want to blame him.
He has just entered the society and his image as a coach is still similar to that of a teacher, so when he suddenly changed his hair style to a bold one, it was inevitable that he would be a little worried that Meng De would be unhappy.
Now that Meng De didn't blame him, he felt relieved.
"Get up and wash up. I'll take you for a run." Meng De patted twistzz's shoulder, then went to another room to wake up Xigua and the others.
"There is still this event today?" twistzz was a little surprised, but also a little looking forward to it.
"The hotel has a supporting gym, so it's free if you don't use it." Meng De said with a smile.
He turned around and woke up some guys next door, but these were the ones who had difficulty getting up, and it took them a long time to get up slowly.
The most important thing is that I got my hair styled at the barber shop a little late last night, so I don’t have enough sleep now.
After several people finished washing, they also saw twistzz’s hairstyle, and they all came over and said:
"Not bad, it makes me want to get a perm too." Xigua said beside him.
He was not with the two kids last night, so it was the first time he saw twistzz's hairstyle.
Xigua was still admiring: "Just like a hair director."
Afterwards, Meng De simply took them to practice for a while in the hotel.
Because there was a competition today, Meng De did not practice too hard, otherwise it would be bad if he had no energy when the competition came.
Meng De simply led them to practice for a while, which lasted about half an hour.
But in such a short period of time, these guys already said they couldn't bear it.
But everyone's reactions were different.
Both Xiaogui and twistzz are acceptable, and their bodies have relatively strong adaptability.
But the fatter watermelon and the skinny bamboo-like kennys started to feel uncomfortable.
But in the end I persisted.
"After changing the base later, this may be a daily training." After stretching with a few people, he looked at kennys and Xigua who were already on the side, and he smiled like a devil.
"No!!"
.......
After taking the team members to wake up their bodies, Meng De started asking them to start basic training during the game.
In about three hours, they had completed their daily training.
They don't have time to train this afternoon because they have to participate in iem's offline signing event.
At the back of the venue, several people also met their old friends, several people from the ll team.
The entire VC team was very eye-catching today.
After meeting them, ll couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
The first is Meng De's beauty in his golden age.
The second is twistzz’s hairstyle today.
"It's really cool, brother." pp came over and said hello.
Without him specifically referring to it, everyone knows that pp is talking about twistzz.
"Just like a Tony teacher."
h0pe next to him said: "I think she looks like a model. No one will be confused by her looks."
A few people chatted for a while, but the on-site activities had not started yet, so everyone was not in a hurry.
"What happened to your game yesterday? You didn't even hold on for the last breath?" the kid complained.
pp sighed: "We have been guarding against that big sniper, but in the end, when we reviewed the game, we found that his big sniper was indeed quite good."
"But what has been working is the FG rifleman and their commander."
"vovo?" The kid said an ID, which was FG's rifle and commander.
"Yeah." pp nodded, "This guy has too much experience. We were misled by him in the last few rounds, and then the timing was given to Little Pepper, feeding him the meat in his mouth."
"So in the end it seemed that Pepper was carrying like crazy, but when we reviewed the game, we found that the overall situation was basically led by Vovo. The rounds where we made the biggest mistakes were all caused by this guy."
"I can't give you much advice when it comes to fighting SSS." Meng De nodded and said.
"Their overall strength is much stronger than yours, so try your best to fight."
Although ll gave his advice very thoughtfully, Meng De really didn't have any advice to give them.
After all, winning SSS means to them that the players' performance has given them an advantage.
On the first day of the game, there were still relatively few real tactical things.
Everyone is hiding their tactics, hoping to save them for later.
So the whole thing is based on the commander's on-the-spot decision-making and the players' recent status.
This is where vc and ll have an advantage.
After all, their two teams basically never stopped training.
During the offseason, both teams played numerous times.
Although everyone has figured out their own tactics, the basic feel is still maintained very well.
So on the first day of the competition, both teams had a huge advantage.
In subsequent games, as some slow teams gradually found their touch, winning the game was not so easy.
Therefore, several people also have some sense of urgency in their hearts.
.......
iem-The other side of the backstage of Imperial City Station.
fg's lounge.
FG’s head coach was watching a video and frowning.
A young man who looked a bit honest came over and said casually: "Coach, what are you looking at?"
"Watch the vc game video."
"It's necessary."
"Don't be careless, vovo." the coach said, "sss lost to them yesterday."
The person named Vovo smiled disdainfully: "It's not the first time SSS lost to them. They were upset in the Fog Major. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to them again this time."
"The lineup on vc is not the complete lineup. s1mple is resting due to injury, and vc has added another player."
"Who is it? Coach, tell me quickly." Vovo expressed disdain for the coach's showy behavior.
But he saw the coach sigh: "You may also know that person, he is kennys from the youth training."
"What the hell, that skinny bamboo pole?" Vovo was still a little impressed by Kennys.
He walked over and looked at the tablet in the coach's hand.
On the screen, kennys in the town is trying hard to get a bag, but the enemy on the side keeps hitting him with usp.
In the next second, he turned around and killed the CT with a blind sniper shot.
Then vovo watched this acquaintance, whom he had only met once, play an amazing 1v3 endgame.
This big sniper is as fast as lightning!
"Damn it, he actually transferred to VC?" Vovo was still a little surprised.
The coach took a long drag on the cigarette butt, then threw it on the ground and crushed it twice with his leather shoe.
"I agreed to his transfer, but he told me at the time that he wanted me to give him a chance to show himself. I don't think it would work for him to rely solely on talent to play games."
"So I chose Chili Pepper."
"Then he was sold to VC." Only then did vovo know that there was something involved.
"Yeah." The coach sighed, "I thought he wouldn't be able to compete in world-class competitions."
"I didn't expect that the first time we met, this kid hit me hard in the face."
"It's okay, we still have Little Pepper." Vovo comforted the coach.
But the coach shook his head. The performance played by Pepper yesterday was not on the same level as Kennys.
"I kind of regret it."
But they didn't know that there was a person outside the door who had already clenched his fist...
