Chapter 39 Post-match interview and S1mple being targeted
The pause was indeed called by vc.
Or to put it more closely, Meng De signaled the referee to give the timeout.
Many people watching the game looked at this scene with doubts in their hearts. In the current game, VC is obviously in the upper hand, why did Meng De call for a timeout?
Meng De stood behind everyone, looked at the doubtful eyes of several people, and gave the answer:
"Everyone, please adjust. There is a little problem with our coordination."
Niko asked strangely: "But didn't you win just now?"
Although the other people did not speak, their eyes also revealed this meaning.
Meng De explained to them: "It's true that we won, but the question is how did we win?"
"I relied on the kid to seize a wave of opportunities and turn defeat into victory."
"Don't you deny that there were problems in controlling the map in the middle lane in the early stage?" Looking at everyone's expressions, Meng De had already determined the answer in his heart.
"There is a problem with the map control in the middle. We naturally have to make self-adjustments. We cannot wait until GG comes back and gets the score before we make some adjustments." Meng De explained to them, "There are some changes that we have to take the initiative to make.
, rather than being pushed away by certain things.”
"We should proactively optimize our own playing style and consciously develop on a stronger path."
Meng De said and looked at s1mple: "There was actually no problem with your mid lane play just now, but the communication should be more detailed."
In fact, s1mple already knew what his problem was: "I should have communicated the timing of throwing the flash, it was a bit too early."
"He reflected very quickly." Meng De praised him and continued, "Let's make some adjustments and try to win the next game for him in one go."
After some communication with Meng De, everyone in VC calmed down their impetuous minds.
In the next few rounds, gg discovered very painfully that there were basically no opportunities in the early stage.
Although they won a subsequent round, they also won it in the end game.
But for them, who were at a big disadvantage, it was like a drop in the bucket and not enough.
In the end, during a wave of attacks and defenses in zone B, gg still lost the game even though they were quick to defend.
The director killed three in a row in the endgame, shattering gg's idea of dragging the game into picture three.
…
The winner of the game in Figure 2 is also marked with VC's name, and it is also announced that VC can still continue to move forward in the loser group.
As the opponent, gg has been eliminated.
Today's match in the lower bracket was so cruel and ruthless.
When Meng De took the entire VC team to shake hands next door, Muwo and others looked at the group of guys wearing blue and white uniforms with complicated eyes.
The first time I played against VC was in the challenger group of the Katowice major last month.
But in their bo3 game, gg was not in very good shape and lost to vc.
In the first time, even though they lost to vc, they still didn't feel how powerful vc was.
That time it was only their own poor condition that led to the loss of the game.
The second time was in the quarter-finals of a major with VC.
muwo can clearly feel the growth of vc with the naked eye. This humble team has improved so fast that it can already be compared with them.
In the end, it was because of player s1mple's outburst and his powerless operation that completely turned the game over.
That time, they contributed to one of the most classic games in the Katowice Major. After the game, the audience even commented that this game was a must-see series of the year, much more exciting than the finals.
They left with regrets, naturally a little unhappy in their hearts, thinking that they would win from them the next time they meet and complete a small revenge.
The third confrontation is right in front of us.
During this competition, muwo felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
VC's strength seems to be improving day by day, and the overwhelming pressure makes GG breathless.
Isn't it ironic that players they didn't care about a month ago can now defeat them effortlessly?
Of course muwo is not such a stingy person. He looked at Niko in front of him with complicated eyes. He recalled Niko's kill in that round and said sincerely: "Well done, brother. Although I didn't see the main perspective, but Nabosha
The eagle kill must have been spectacular.”
The opponent's sudden compliment made Niko feel a little at a loss.
Niko scratched his head: "You actually played very well, but this map is my strong map and I performed well."
“We have time to share the skills of playing eagle.”
"I'll definitely do it when I have time."
The two top sand eagle ability users felt a little sympathy for each other, maybe they shook hands for a long time.
On the other side, loxi looked at s1mple, whom she admired so much, and felt speechless.
He wanted to tell the guy in front of him that he had worked hard after that major, studied a lot of your game videos, and wanted to prove himself in this competition.
But,
He didn't do it.
Only 10 points were scored in two games. This is not a healthy score to be proud of.
He also had no face to say the words he had worked hard for a long time in front of the player who had defeated him.
Next to him, Meng De also exchanged a few words with GG’s coach.
His communicative ability that can get along with him wherever he goes has also impressed everyone in VC.
After shaking hands and communicating with GG, everyone in VC quickly began to pack up their peripherals and prepare to leave the venue and return to the hotel.
This was a reminder from the referee behind them that they had an interview with the competition team that they needed to go to.
Meng De thought about the candidates for a while, and finally shouted: "Niko, don't deal with it now, come and interview with me."
When Niko, who was still arranging the cables, heard this, he immediately stopped and patted s1mple on the shoulder: "Remember to help me pick up the peripherals."
With that said, he ran directly to Meng De, fearing that s1mple would refuse him the next second.
"Aren't you childish?" s1mple said helplessly, and then shouted when Niko was about to leave, "I will give your keyboard to Yang later."
The director looked at him like a fool: 'You still say that others are childish, but they are almost like broky.'
…
Meng De and Niko, led by the on-site staff, turned a few corners from the player tunnel to the st studio.
When they walked into the room, they could see that the host had been waiting for a long time.
The staff in the studio handed over two microphones, and then the host gestured to the camera, indicating that the live broadcast was ready.
After taking the microphone, Niko's expression became quite cold and serious.
But Meng De knew that it was probably because he was pretending to be cool in front of the camera.
"Congratulations to VC for winning today's game with two big wins in the loser's bracket. How do you two feel now?"
"It feels okay." Niko raised the microphone with a calm look on his face, "Of course the opponent is very strong, but we are in better shape recently."
He originally wanted to play a few games in Versailles, but thinking about GG's attitude towards him after the game, he restrained himself a little.
His speech was very standard. Although he was confident, it was too tactful for the CSGO profession, and the host seemed a little pity.
In the English live broadcast room, everyone thinks that this player is relatively humble.
"Coach MD is also here today. I want to ask, this is Niko's first major event after joining. Does his joining have any big impact on the entire team?"
Meng De pondered for two seconds, then raised the microphone:
"Changes...of course there are some. The addition of Niko has greatly improved the team's firepower. This is the most obvious change. We can rely on his performance in the eco round to have more fault tolerance.
As for more, it involves the team system and tactics..."
The host nodded: "I understand this. Tactical research cannot be leaked, right?"
Then he glanced at the card in his hand and continued to ask: "The sudden update of the resort club this morning has triggered discussions among many people. We also know that these updates have a certain relationship with the VC you coach."
Seeing Meng De nodding, the host continued: "Before the game this afternoon, Coach MD, you seemed to have posted a comment on the resort club's Twitter, asking the resort club to pay attention to today's game. If I understand it correctly, it should be
It’s that xbox cigarette, right?”
Meng De nodded and raised the microphone: "That Xbox cigarette is our latest research. It was developed by ropz from VC youth training. He is a genius."
"ropz? One of the two young geniuses who joined vc before?" the host was a little impressed by the news.
Meng De nodded: "After he researched the Xbox cigarette, we started to use it in the competition. But after the resort club banned the method of that prop this morning, ropz was not convinced. After studying for a day, he finally relied on calculations.
Found a new way."
"Calculate?" The host was a little strange. The word "calculate" seemed a bit awkward when used in relation to research props.
Meng De did not intend to hide this smoke bomb anymore, and directly announced the throwing method, because he felt that there was a high probability that the resort would still ban it.
"He studied the values of the post-birth coordinates and the aiming point coordinates of the prop, and then modified the value of the mouse sensitivity to achieve the effect of moving to the aiming point position of the prop."
host:???
Why can I understand your individual words, but I can’t understand them together?
"I still have a video on my phone, I'll show it to you directly."
Not only him, but the audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.
【???】
【???】
【???】
【Ha! Are we playing the same game?】
[Don’t you have the nerve to learn this smoke bomb as an undergraduate? 】
【Isn’t this too complicated? Is it so outrageous?】
[Coach md found another treasure this time]
【Professional youth training】
[Why do I feel like these newbies are underestimating their talents in the profession?]
Everyone in GG who had returned to the club car was buzzing as they watched VC's post-match interview.
"Did we just play a game with this kind of monster?"
muwo looked at the interview on his mobile phone, with big doubts in his little eyes, because Meng De took out his mobile phone and played the screen.
A new way of throwing props appeared in front of them.
Regarding VC’s new props, analysts from various professional teams have actually analyzed them.
In some cases, a staff member was specially filmed to watch the VC members' game videos and record some of the special props that appeared in them.
Many of the props made them suddenly enlightened.
But the way this prop appeared today, even as a victim, I still couldn't understand the way it appeared.
This is too exaggerated!
How will VC research props at the nano level in the future?
VC is again silently urging everyone in the professional circle to work harder.
The host shook his head: "I still can't understand this way of smoking Xbox, but today's game has proven its performance."
"Let's have one last question." The host looked at the card in his hand. In fact, there are still many questions, but because he didn't smoke the Xbox just now, the time was delayed and could only be shortened.
"After Coach MD wakes up this time, does he have any new expectations for the future?"
Meng De thought for a while and then said: "If you have expectations, of course you have them."
"It has been almost a year since the new VC team was established. During this year, we have continuously strengthened our strength and achieved very good results. Now we are at the forefront of the world rankings. Naturally, we want to compete for that championship. A trophy.”
"After all, there is no point in playing a career if it's not about winning."
Although Meng De's words are a bit cruel, they are the reality in today's e-sports circle.
CSGO and LoL operate in different ways. Teams with poor LoL teams can still rely on traffic to operate and achieve good revenue results.
Most of csgo's sources of income rely on bonuses. Players can only rely on their own results to fight for their own future.
The interview ended.
Meng De took Niko back to the lounge, and the others were already waiting to go back.
s1mple also helped Niko pack up the peripherals and did not give them away as he said.
"The interview is quite reserved." s1mple handed the peripheral to Niko and said with a smile.
He found that after coming to VC, his temper became better and better.
"It's hard to perform without the coach by your side." Niko is naturally not weak in words, especially s1mple.
After the victory, Meng De was in a good mood. He took the initiative and said: "Today's game ended early, let's go out and have a good time."
"Barbecue or something else, please give me a suggestion."
"I think we should go back and review it first." s1mple said.
Meng De was really shocked now: "Why did you change your gender today?"
"I just feel that there are some problems with my playing style today. I didn't have many encounters with the enemy. I want to find out the problem." s1mple said seriously.
This is actually not what he has today, he has had this problem since yesterday.
But yesterday he played very proactively and looked for opportunities from various angles, which resulted in good kills.
He didn't take any initiative today and just ended up at the bottom of the team, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to find out whether he was in poor condition recently or whether he was being targeted by the other party.
s1mple said so, and everyone had no problem, so they all returned to the club and started reviewing.
At first they didn't care much, but they finally found out later.
It wasn't that there was a problem with s1mple's play style, but that his opponents started to take advantage of him.
They used props to compress s1mple's position, and even had a very strong desire to avoid fighting.
There is even a phenomenon where s1mple fires a shot in a certain area and other people start to move around like crazy.
"The guys in this first team are too quick to target," the director said sincerely.
Niko said: "But against you, I can do my best. If they can't win the game, it's still useless."
s1mple smiled disdainfully and said: "If you know where the problem is, it will be easy to solve. Is it really useful to simply target it?"
