After the game between vc and fg, the discussion in the csgo forum naturally focused on the two teams.
Even though the final score of this game ended at 2:0, it could not conceal the wonderful performance of this bo3 game.
This game has attracted a lot of attention. Just after the game ended, the popularity in the forum has remained high.
[To be honest, I really don’t know how vc can lose now! Look at guys like s1mple, niko, and twistzz, how do they behave like human beings]
[One thing to say, it’s too early to talk about these things now. After all, VC has been in the public eye for a year, and there is still no real championship.]
【As long as we win the next two games, will we have the championship soon?】
[Don’t be jealous. Although ysg is not under a lot of pressure, hc has been in good shape recently. In the finals, they pushed all the way and didn’t seem to lose a game.]
[Indeed, there have been two battles between VC and HC now. They won once and lost once. Whether they can win the championship is still a matter of debate. After all, s1mple was so good in the Cato major, but he still lost. It really doesn’t matter.
Easy to say]
[As a fan of ysg, I feel very sad that no one thinks highly of me, the ogre (crying)]
There are many fans and passers-by who support VC, but many people think that VC is now ranked 4th in the world, but there is no impressive record.
It attracted criticism from many people.
Of course, VC himself knew this, and Meng De was even more aware of it.
This is why he desperately wants to win a major championship.
If a team does not have good results, it will definitely not be able to survive for long, and problems will begin to arise internally.
In the memory that the system gave Meng De, vc was like this.
In e-sports, strength is king.
This sentence is well known in the e-sports circle, but it is also an out-and-out truth.
Career path is an out-and-out youth meal. If you can't make a name for yourself when you are young and show your strength on the big stage.
In the next few years, they will have no choice but to return to ordinary life.
The best outcome for a player from a poor family is to become an anchor with a former professional player as the prefix.
Therefore, when players are still valuable, but their own team cannot achieve results, they will naturally choose to try other teams.
This is why after the major, Mengde began to look for problems within himself and tried to find ways to strengthen himself.
He wants the team to win more than one championship in the next competition!
Grand Slams, major championships! Dynasties from vc are waiting for them!!
The journey of vc has just begun, and now is the beginning of their first major championship.
…
After the game between VC and FG, there was a lot of criticism about VC's post-game interview. Many people were concerned about the scene where VC "spoke wildly" after the game.
Although ysg is indeed not good enough in terms of strength, in the game a few days ago, ysg also won a bo3 against vc.
But they said this in the loser group, which inevitably gave people an inflated feeling.
However, these remarks quickly turned into compliments a day later.
Because in the last game of the loser group, vc successfully won the ysg and st autumn finals with a score of 2:0.
The last game of the st autumn season became a loser's final.
Figure 1 Purgatory Town:
This map is ysg's own choice. In the pistol round, ysg is the attacker and directly attacks area b with a wave of explosive bombs. There is not much tactical map control, but a group of Western Gan La, Niko and the director who are not mysterious.
I made a mistake in my positioning in the early stage, which resulted in me being smashed into pieces. I failed to win the game when I returned to defense, and VC lost the pistol round.
In the second round, VC was strong. At the beginning, Niko used the Sand Eagle as a big sniper. He drew the banana lane and successfully got the first kill. The subsequent VC bet failed, and the five people started to protect their guns. The game soon came to the 4th place.
Round, the first long shot of the first half.
In the fourth round, ysg launched explosive bombs to hit A, but was pulled back and forth by Wang Yuning and the little devil who were in a big hole. Coupled with s1mple's pulling back and forth from the outside, VC easily disintegrated ysg's attack.
In the next few rounds, except for the ogre's spiritual transformation, which successfully seized the weak point of the defense in area A, the rest were won by VC during the return defense.
The score reached 6:4, and vc quickly tied the score.
ysg called the first timeout of the game and chose area B to launch a wave of explosive attacks immediately. Niko and the director's play style in area B was already quite aggressive, and they just thought this wave of bandits was
They attacked Banana Road again, but the bandits kept replenishing their guns and broke through the defense line. Although they successfully played 2-for-2, area B fell too quickly, so VC chose 3 people to protect their guns.
In the second half of the first half, s1mple took out his sniper and started stealing people, but ysg was already prepared for this. He was caught by ysg's sniper standing in an unconventional position.
But just when they thought they had found the answer to the problem, s1mple quickly told them with a wave of three kills in the middle that he was not that easy to study.
The final game was a bit unexpected. Wang Yuning was alone in the big pit and the second floor and ended the first half with a wave of five kills.
The audience at the scene immediately became excited.
The score at the top of the big screen was frozen in the classic posture of 9:6.
At the beginning of the second half, all VC members set their guns by default.
In the end, ysg couldn't help but come out to explore the information. Banana Road S1mple stood on the pile of trees and hit his head with a CT shot at the corner of B. VC immediately started to speed up, and a wave of explosive bombs lifted B. In area B, a
After changing one, they successfully occupied Area B. After arranging their gun positions, s1mple borrowed Danish blood from next door and shot a head out of the policeman's cigarette without any logic, causing the barrage to fill the screen with question marks.
VC's attacking rhythm easily pushed the score to 12:6.
In the second half of the long gun game, Niko controlled the banana lane at the beginning, but turned into an unlucky guy and was stewed to death by props. The kid who controlled the side lane was also killed by the counter-clearance. ysg was in a good mood, and in his excitement, he made a mistake
decision, they began to continue to fight for control of the Banana Road.
But I didn't expect that they were all defeated by the combined efforts of s1mple and the director.
The second timeout in Figure 1 has already been called.
It's just that this time ysg failed to start scoring points through the timeout adjustment again. Instead, VC's suffocating offensive rhythm began.
In the end, except for ysg's successful defense in a wave of gambling points, they failed to win the other rounds, and the final score was fixed at 16:7.
Picture 2 shows the train parking station selected by VC himself.
After losing the first picture of my choice, ysg actually has no confidence in himself anymore.
In this big police picture chosen by vc, as a defensive side in the first half, they only scored a measly 3 points, and their mentality completely collapsed.
In the second half, relying on the performance of their players, they successfully chased 6 points on the offensive end.
At this time, ysg sounded the clarion call for counterattack, but vc saved enough money to start a double sniper team.
This time it was not s1mple who performed well, but Niko who picked up s1mple's great sniper.
A wave of 4 kills from area B helped VC score the first point of the second half.
From this point on, VC didn't give any chance and easily ended the game.
The game in Figure 2 is fixed at 16:9.
So far, they have won the game on both maps, the finals of the st autumn season.
However, vc also achieved an achievement. In the st series of events, the first player in the loser group advanced to the finals with a complete victory.
This kind of record has also made many netizens joke, 'Does it mean that there is no buff bonus if you don't enter the loser group?'
…
On the other side, the second team encountered difficulties in the Asian Invitational Tournament.
In the semi-finals, they met the FOK team from Europe.
God is a team with a long history, so old that they have been around since CSGO started professional competitions.
Even for Wang Yuning, it is a senior-level team.
This team experienced a period of turmoil a few years ago. It failed to keep up with the rest of the team in terms of personnel changes and version and strategy changes, and the team's ranking was outside the top 100.
At the very beginning, they couldn't find any problems with the team, so they started constant personnel replacement and continued to buy players from other teams.
Until a member arrived, lnma from Spain, a man known in China as the Blue Horse Knight.
The blue horse is the transliteration of the pronunciation of his ID, and the knight is because he once met a child who had a sudden illness on the way to a race by bicycle and helped him, but ultimately missed the race.
After the incident was revealed, countless people respected him as a true knight.
There is nothing to criticize about this player in terms of character, and he is even more terrifying in terms of strength.
He has been in the top 5 for 5 consecutive years and became a top 2 player last year.
Although this year due to club structural problems, the number of appearances in major competitions has decreased.
But there is no doubt about their strength. After the world rankings were updated this week, they have just been surpassed by VC and are currently ranked 5th in the world.
The second team really met a strong enemy of theirs.
In this bo3 game, they filled all three games, and even dragged the game into overtime in two games.
Picture 1: The purgatory town of your choice.
On this map, as the attacker in the first half, gla1ve’s thinking was surprisingly clear.
From the beginning of the pistol round, they used an overwhelming offensive, overwhelming God without any ability to fight back, and scored a full 10 points in a row.
God also called a pause, but it was not very effective.
When the domestic audience saw this, they were so excited that they couldn't help shouting.
However, in the eleventh round of the first half, the Blue Horse Knight took the initiative in the early stage and got two kills.
After moving to Area B, he used a tricky one-way cigarette to get another head.
Although they have been winning, their financial situation is not good, so 1ve chose to let the remaining two people save their guns.
god successfully got their first point and officially started their scoring journey.
In the follow-up, Kennys only relied on a wave of sniper breakthroughs in area A to enter the pack with a triple kill and successfully scored a point.
The rest of the rounds were all won by god.
The score in the first half finally stayed at 11:4.
With such a huge advantage, the pressure was not great, but in the second half, the pistol round and the first long gun round were not played well.
gla1ve lost his own rhythm.
Under the dual pressure of economy and feel, the score in the second half was quickly tied by God. It was not until Broky, as the secondary sniper, got four kills in area B that the deadlock was broken.
gla1ve called out two pauses in a row, closed his eyes and started to adjust.
This scene had a great impact on the audience. 1ve was about to show off, but after the timeout, gla1ve started to manage props like a textbook.
Banana Road began to give out props in stages, but every time they got stuck in a position that made God very uncomfortable, forcing them to change points.
As a result, every time they attacked area a, they found that the defensive force in area a was unprecedentedly strong, and time was delayed step by step.
I had several constipation attacks in a row.
After thinking about it, god made a decisive decision to speed up area B. This time, there was no time to delay.
However, the follow-up defense, the coverage of the props, and the synchronization rate of the flash all made God feel like he was facing a bunch of monsters.
The final score in Figure 1 stayed at 16:13.
It was originally a good start, but the reverse after being chased by points also greatly improved the overall momentum.
"But it's just a little bit close!" Broky complained to the director after the game, "Obviously the second and third pictures are just a little bit different. I feel like if I kill one more, the game will be over."
The director might usually have fun with Broky, but he knew that Broky was really in a bad mood now, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "There is nothing we can do about it, the Blue Knights were too strong in overtime."
He didn't lie. In this bo3, God's blue horse knight was in explosive mode.
After this game, his statistics are as follows:
rating:1.45,k-d:102-52,kast:82,adr:104.5
In the final overtime of the two maps, he personally played two endgames, which were 1v2 and 1v4.
Relying on his strong personal ability, he tipped the balance of victory back.
Let the victory that could have been yours become God's victory.
"As expected of last year's top 2!" Broky sighed.
The game he lost yesterday really made him extremely uncomfortable.
With just that little difference, they can enter the finals of the Asian Invitational Tournament, just like the first team, in the finals of the S-level competition.
This confrontation also served as a wake-up call for VC.
World rankings can only illustrate a team's past strength and recent status.
For example, Team GG is currently ranked third in the world, but their overall strength is not considered strong by VC.
But this European god, who is ranked fifth in the world, gives me a completely different feeling.
Flexible defense, fast and agile offense.
It's not at the same level as GG's confusing style of play.
"None of the teams that have entered the first tier has a low ceiling." gla1ve concluded on the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Broky also reminded the director: "To be honest, our team lost, but we feel we are still a bit inferior in terms of strength."
"But you have to work hard, we can't let both teams fail to gain something."
When gla1ve heard the chat here, he also leaned in front of the camera:
"Don't be careless. Now you have one win and one loss against hc, and hc's recent form is also good. Don't lose to hc because you are careless."
"Their strength is equally good. Pay attention to the changes in their tactics. I feel like they are hiding something this time."
1ve taken the time to analyze something.
The director on the other end smiled: "Of course we know this. The coach is by our side and he helps us control it."
"You said hc is in good shape, and we can see it from the game, but our shape is not bad either. We haven't lost a game in the lower bracket, and we have one win and one loss from the record. We can't belittle ourselves.
"
A confident smile appeared on the director's lips:
"As for who wins and who loses, we will know after a fight tomorrow."
