Chapter 101 Do you understand the pain of the Damanya Club!
After adjusting at home for a period of time, Mengde soon took a large group of people and set off for Katowice, the holy land of e-sports in Europe.
"If you have never been to Katowice, then you know nothing about European esports."
This is an old saying spread among overseas e-sports fan circles, which is enough to illustrate the city’s status in the hearts of e-sports people.
Katowice is very important to the e-sports circle because it is a city that has supported the development of the e-sports industry since the barbaric era of e-sports.
Today’s e-sports can have such a prosperous scene, and Katowice is indispensable.
This year CSGO officially positioned Katowice as the venue for the major, which attracted a huge number of fans and increased the gold content of this competition.
Even without the factor of the major being held, the annual IEM Katowice will be the most important competition besides the major.
The championship of IEM Katowice has even been called the starting point of the dynasty.
The starting point of every dynasty is a champion from Katowice.
The ae team that is building a dynasty now also won the championship in Katowice and then slowly started to gain momentum.
The most painful part of every flight is jet lag.
This is also one of the required courses for them as e-sports players.
The brothers in the first team had experience playing abroad and adjusted quickly.
The players of the second team were also reluctant, but the usually active broccoli now seemed to have been drained of water.
He now feels weak all over and has always wanted to sleep, but he can't.
A very uncomfortable state.
"Brooky hasn't adjusted yet?" pp's voice appeared at the door, followed by a large group of people from ll who came to visit the class.
"This guy stayed up all night before setting off, trying to adjust in advance, but he ended up wilting." s1mple explained.
llAs a brother team, this is their first time to play abroad and they lack all kinds of experience.
So I made an appointment with vc to set off together.
When they arrived in Katowice, Mengde found an apartment-style hotel for the three teams to train.
When we go abroad, of course we have to help each other.
What's more, during the Fog Major, ll was very enthusiastic to help them play training matches with high pins and train some content that could not be exposed. Meng De was very grateful for this.
What's more, he didn't do anything more, he just avoided some unnecessary things for ll.
Such as adapting to the environment, food issues, travel issues, etc.
After doing this calculation, it seems that a lot of problems have been avoided.
However, it is just that the hotel of the competition group has not arranged check-in. When the time comes, they can go to the hotel arranged by the competition group.
I came here early to train and get myself in better shape.
"You'll be fine if you endure it for a while." Meng De replied from the side.
Then he continued: "How was your training match?"
Zhang Yu sighed: "I'm not very optimistic. I'm a little uncomfortable with the foreign style of play. The previous domestic method was somewhat effective at first, but later it became a big problem."
Meng De nodded beside him, anticipating Zhang Yu's answer. They were like this before, using domestic playing methods, and when they first came into contact with international teams, they played quite smoothly, but they were slightly adapted to the opponent.
The fighting style is of little use.
"Adjust slowly, it's all here." Meng De replied.
"What about you?" Zhang Yu asked,
"The first team played pretty well, and these guys are in pretty good shape."
"The second team's recent winning rate is not that good due to broky, but the overall performance is okay."
Meng De had expected this.
Because the second team started with a system that was modified according to the playing style of international teams.
The whole thing is to benchmark internationally.
Although they still have little competition experience and have not been impacted by major competitions, this is a problem.
But at least it won't require as big a change as the first team.
"You're doing a great job." Zhang Yu sighed, "We need to spend some time now."
Today, ll is still struggling with the issue of adapting or changing formation.
Although their style of play is based on individual abilities, it is basically derived from studying the first team of vc.
Overall, the structure is okay, but the details are not in place, and pp's sniper performance is not as outrageous as s1mple's, lacking an upper limit.
"Let's do it step by step." Meng De comforted.
There was nothing he could do about it, and he still had too much to take care of himself.
Yesterday, he used all his points in the lottery to update his tactics.
It's just that I drew too much this time, and now I'm trying to figure out whether the tactics are suitable.
Time is not enough for them either.
During this period of training, the main focus of the VC team was on improvement, with targeting as a supplement.
While Meng De was updating the team's tactics, he and Wu Qiang were also analyzing several other strong teams that they might encounter.
After just a quick analysis, they found that this Cato major was much more powerful than the last Fog Major.
Last time, at least there were teams of miscellaneous fish like rainbow horses and babs.
But this time, in addition to vc and ll, there is also a new team from North America, and the rest are all teams that have achieved results in recent years.
It can be said that this time all the strong teams in the world are basically gathered here.
Under the introduction of aka, vc also played several training games with the international team gg.
In these training games, their victory is about 30%.
The opponent team and the VC team seem to play in the same system, and they both follow the path of individual ability.
However, vc's main focus is to release s1mple tactics, while this gg allows several people to have free exchange of fire rights, allowing them to fire at will.
In this case, once the advantage is gained, gg's game will be easy to win, and the advantage will be crushed.
But once they get into trouble, they don't need to use too much force from VC, they will collapse on their own.
The whole thing looked very chaotic, and Meng De couldn't figure out what the other party was doing.
However, Meng Deting was really amazed by the opponent's star player. The Sand Eagle with the ID name muwo caused trouble for VC many times.
Of course, s1mple also surprised gg a lot.
In several training matches, gg discovered that the player s1mple's performance was simply outrageous, and he could perform all kinds of cheating operations.
Basically, I can play 50-50 with their star muwo.
Of course, if s1mple can really perform like that in the game, they will be wary.
But what impressed Meng De deeply was GG's overall performance.
This time, although Meng De also shot a short video during his expedition, they were all quite satisfactory.
However, as a team that graduated from international plastic surgery majors, this gg team can always bring a lot of joy to fans.
Even if fans don't care about their results every year, they will care about their overall lives.
The effect of their programs has always been good.
Their official blog posted a video on the eve of the team’s departure.
The tone of the video is very gloomy, making people feel a sense of depression coming over them.
In the darkness, a little fire suddenly ignited, and the picture gradually gained a little warmth.
The candles were lit one by one, and gg's star player muwo appeared on the screen.
I saw him wearing a GG uniform, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then rolling his eyes, very much like a scene of sacrifice.
The screen suddenly zoomed out, and Muwo was seen sitting cross-legged in the middle of a circle of candles, with 3-0 written in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Broky laughed out loud.
"This gg is too crazy. What do I think you are doing? Is it okay to just put it aside?"
Kennys next to him said: "You have to understand the pain of being a Manya club."
"Hahaha!"
After several signings in the past two years, the gg club's overall performance has improved greatly, but almost every time, they were just a little short of winning the championship in the finals, and over time it has become a club characteristic.
It has even become one of the major unsolved mysteries of CSGO.
Although the winner takes all in e-sports, no one remembers the runner-up.
But there are exceptions - unless you're a consistent runner-up.
But everyone in VC just smiled and continued training.
Because compared to GG in Mananya, they have never even reached the knockout stage of a major. If they really make GG a joke, then the real joke may be themselves.
