Chapter 103 Pre-match discussion before the life and death game
The last day of the IEM Cologne group stage has arrived as scheduled.
Since four teams have already entered the knockout stage, there are only two games to be completed today, and the overall game duration is relatively short.
However, for domestic players, there was intense discussion before the start of today's game.
Because in today's two loser group games, Group A has VC in it, and Group B has VC in it.
These two teams have a good impression on the domestic audience and have a good fan base in the country. Which game to watch today is a bit distressing.
However, before the game started, there were also some big players discussing today's game situation in the forum.
The match in Group A is between VC and Poseidon from North America. In most analysis posts, Poseidon has no chance of winning against VC unless all members of Poseidon explode. This is not a bragging by fans, but a recent one.
During the competition, VC used its strength to create a strong impression on them.
Most fans don't feel any pressure from the Group A games. As long as no one in the VC team has a serious illness, there won't be any upsets.
As for the games in Group B, the overall attraction and attention are relatively more. The reason is that the two teams in Group B are similar in strength. The overall gap is not as exaggerated as in Group A, and the fans are focused on
, they just have to see if they can win.
The opponent is a familiar face in the first-line arena, the FG team from France.
Although FG's strength is only relatively average and does not have any particularly outstanding abilities, it is not that extreme. Logically speaking, this game should have been a 50-50 split.
However, in the qualifiers, FG won a game in the amusement park, so fans were a little worried.
Of course, some fans said that the last game could not prove anything.
After all, the first day of the qualifying match was a BO1.
In professional competitions, generally speaking, offline competitions) online competitions are BO5) BO3) BO1.
The gold content of the game increases with the number of games. After all, CSGO is not strictly a turn-based game. The accumulation of time will have a huge impact on both players.
Some teams may be very strong in BO1 games, but once the game progresses, their performance will gradually deteriorate. This is a very common thing.
Therefore, BO3 can show the true strength of the two teams. A BO1 game does not mean anything. This sentence has some truth.
However, the Internet understands what Brother is saying and can listen to it, but it can only listen to a little bit.
Soon, other people refuted his remarks, and the Internet began to plagiarize fiercely.
…
In the VC backstage lounge.
The game time is coming soon, and Meng De gives some final explanations to the first team:
"You must not be in a hurry to fight this Poseidon, because when the situation is not good, they will fight more hastily than you."
"Also, Lao Wang, please remind them not to get involved. In this loser's group match, as long as we show our usual strength, offline matches are beckoning to us."
It wasn't until the players became a little impatient that Meng Decai turned to look at Wu Qiang: "We also discussed BP this morning. We will follow those plans and try to focus on our own strong plans. Don't give priority to banning Poseidon's strong plans.
Picture, totally not worth it.”
Wu Qiang held the tactical paper at the side and nodded: "I understand this."
The staff on the side were already urging him. Meng De motioned to him to wait, and then said the last words: "Today's game, we can only win, not lose."
"I hope that after the game is over, we can hear good news that belongs to us."
What good news?
Of course both teams have gone offline!
…
"Welcome to the live broadcast room of the lower bracket of IEM Cologne Group B. I am the commentator of this game."
"I am explaining taro balls."
"Today's game is going to be very fierce." Coke took the initiative to say something.
Taro Yuan, who has been his partner for a long time, immediately answered: "How do you say that?"
Coke began to express his analysis: "Today is the last day of the group stage. It is the loser's match. This IEM Cologne is a double-elimination knockout system. FG and Shen each have one defeat. They are dead.
After saving a life, in the next duel, the loser will go to the airport as the next stop."
Taro Yuan nodded in agreement and said: "That's true. It seems that in this game, we can see a showdown where both sides will not hold back, and all the tactics of pressing the bottom of the box will be handed over."
"It's a bit exciting just thinking about it."
The audience in the live broadcast room were already a little itchy by his hook, and they were eager to see the game start in the next second.
Fortunately, the two teams acted quickly and did not make them wait for long.
The BP session of BO3 has officially begun!
FG chose to go to Nuclear Crisis. They spent a lot of time studying this map, but they still didn't feel very confident, so they simply took it away.
It is better to serve yourself first and send away the Lost City where you were the worst.
"It's still a bit bold. I still won't let the rice waste be released to prevent its weaknesses from being exposed." Coke said worriedly, "But in this case, it is impossible for FG to release the amusement park."
As soon as Coke finished speaking, he saw FG locking the Death Amusement Park.
In Death Amusement Park and Lost City, we actually discussed it early this morning.
After analysis, both gla1ve and kennyS believed that they could compete with their opponents in the amusement park. They believed that the last failure allowed them to learn experience, and they could practice next.
"Then which map will you choose to win next? To be more cautious, it is the town. This map is one of the strongest maps..." Before Taro Yuan finished his analysis, the second map was locked as purgatory.
small town.
The first two maps have been determined, and both sides will ban one Sha Er and Mansion respectively, leaving only one Train in the end.
All BO3 maps have appeared:
Figure 1: Death Amusement Park
Figure 2: Purgatory Town
Figure 3: Train parking station
Ten players from both sides began to enter the server in Figure 1, and the game was about to start in a few minutes.
There were some cheering comments floating in the official live broadcast room of IEM Cologne, and fans were looking forward to this life and death game.

At the beginning of the pistol round, gla1ve directly arranged a wave of heavy defense in area B according to the data provided by Meng De on the tactical paper.
At the beginning, only Xiaoju is sent to the middle lane to do reconnaissance, and the rest gather in area B.
On the one hand, the pressure faced by area A in the pistol round is very small, and there is no need to prevent too many troops in A.
On the other hand, FG is a team that prefers Zone B in the amusement park.
After 4 people heavily defend area B, find a good gun position at the beginning and set up the default position first.
When the time came to 1 minute and 30 seconds, kennyS took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't we take the initiative to get some information, otherwise Tig will be very uncomfortable at point A."
"Okay." gla1ve added, "Tig, follow kennyS, Broky is on standby, ready to cooperate with them."
kennyS held the usp in hand and walked quietly and searched slowly, making sure there was no one at the construction site.
Explain the information to your teammates and continue walking quietly towards the short pipe.
FG has made a default start in Area B, preparing for a wave of explosive bombs in Area B at the second time.
"kennyS came with his teammates to fight back against the Qing Dynasty. Although no one is controlling the construction site this time, there are people holding up the short pipe without missing a beat. KennyS may suffer!"
"It's true, kennyS was taken away by meow as soon as he showed up. gla1ve's flash is indeed good, but the timing is one step behind."
"kennyS was beaten to death, but there was Tig behind him who could help him with his gunshots. Facing two all-white bandits, Tig shot one kid and brought back his head!"
While Tig was having a fierce exchange of fire with his teammates, Broky was also helping to cover him.
However, despite being shot several times in a row, Broky failed to hit the head of VOVO outside B. Instead, he was killed by his bullets.
In this way, the firefight outside B formed a wave of 2 for 2. Overall, CT was acceptable.
After all, while exchanging numbers, they obtained the other party's information, and the bandits' attack rhythm had been interrupted.
The firefight in Area B was not very profitable for the bandits, but there was good news from Pepper on the other side of the map.
Pepper started this round with a single move. He silently penetrated the big A on his own, and now the empty A package point was placed in front of him.
"Quickly transfer to A. I'll go to the bank first and see if I can kill one."
Little Pepper thought of something again, and added with a feeling: "I have no information about A, so you should pay more attention when you come over later."
VOVO nodded and immediately led his teammates to Area A.
Even if Little Pepper doesn't remind him, he will be wary now. After all, only the information of two people in Area B has been exposed, and the information of Jamyoung on the other side is unknown.
"Little Pepper and Xiao Ju happened to pass by each other. Little Pepper has wiped out all of Area A. He will definitely tell his teammates that Area A is empty, but this information may cause them problems."
"We'll see how Xiao Ju handles it next."
At the end of the round, Xiaoju was silent throughout the whole process; she came to the large toilet A.
From his position, he can hear all the information from A and the middle, which is a very useful position.
Soon, footsteps came from the middle, and Xiao Ju immediately called for help: "There are footsteps coming from the middle, they should be hitting A."
After two seconds, he confirmed the sound of footsteps and confirmed the message to his teammates.
gla1ve immediately returned to defense with Tig.
After Xiaoju got the information about the middle lane, he didn't rush to take action and quietly waited for the opportunity to come.
"Little Pepper is quietly setting up shop under the bank, while gla1ve is rushing up from below. Can Little Pepper gain the advantage in numbers?"
"No, Pepper's P250 failed to kill with a headshot. Now that Pepper's information has been discovered, it's really difficult for FG to deal with."
gla1ve confirmed that there was someone in the bank, but did not bother with him too much. Instead, he took the initiative to check out the information on the package. He had to provide information to Xiao Ju in the direction of toilet A.
At a glance, the bandit who was just about to put his bag immediately jumped to the other side of the front of the car.
1ve suppressed it back.
When the other party moved to the other side of the car to put the bag, Xiao Ju, who was at the entrance of the toilet, also heard the beeping sound of the thunder bag.
He previewed the direction of the car, then began to search for points and prepared to fire.
1ve is pulling back and forth unclearly, 1ve is like a cup of green tea.
Xiaoju saw the bandit's back and fired continuously, easily killing him.
"Xiao Ju in the audience knocked one down first, and VOVO, who was lowering the bag, didn't dare to let go anymore, but Xiao Ju had already moved sideways to get the view, and the stiff movement of VOVO's hand hadn't ended yet. He really had no power to fight back. Xiao Ju
The pistol is quite accurate, one or two shots will directly knock out the VOVO in the head."
"The thunder bag fell on the front of the car, and 1ve handled the separation very beautifully. FG had a big problem with information processing this time, and Xiaoju also seized the opportunity."
"Now the mine bag has fallen on the front of the car. Although Pepper's health is full, he needs to take the initiative to face this 1V3 bag-defending endgame."
"Little Pepper takes the initiative and takes over Tig who is not in the preview position first. Will this create an opportunity for him?"
Tig was shot instantly, and the other two people did not fire up their guns. The situation was now a bit unstable.
Xiao Ju said calmly: "We don't have much time. We are not in a hurry. Let's cross paths."
"After confirming the position, quickly replenish the gun." gla1ve also replied.
Time passed by, and the mine bag was not put down, so it was impossible for Pepper to save his gun this round.
Whether he loses or wins, he must take the initiative.
Otherwise, he will only have 400 yuan left for him in the next round, which will greatly affect the early rhythm.
Little Pepper took the initiative, and 1ve turned around and exchanged fire.
Then the next moment, gla1ve and Xiaoju appeared at the same time, and he burst open.
Unable to put down the minefield, the economy is a bit tight. As the owner of the world's number one amusement park, VOVO knows the play structure of this map very well.
Being strong in this big picture is not a particularly good decision.
Therefore, VOVO directed his teammates to choose streaking Glock to speed up the pace of the game and get to the long gun round faster.
Then not only did they not get a single kill in this round, CT also got 4 hair dryer kills, making a lot of money.
"2:0, in the third round, all FG members are equipped with AK and props, and they are still in a mixed state of long and short guns. The next point may be the key to affecting the early rhythm!"
