MUWO closed the door of the lounge and isolated the live commentary sound coming from a distance into another world. In the room, everyone in GG was lying down and resting. Their game was after VC, so they were not in a hurry to get up and get ready to go.
In fact, several members of the GG team have already made preparations for the next game, which is also an important reason why they can adjust their status leisurely at this time. After returning from the toilet, MUWO was no longer sleepy, and he turned on the
The TV in the lounge turned down the volume. Several teammates were still resting. Moreover, as professional players, the various analyzes of the commentators would only make them uncomfortable to listen to. Their understanding of the game was not at the same level at all.
Controlling the remote control to switch to the match of Group A, everyone in VC had already stood up with smiles on their faces.
It seems that the first half was pretty good... MUWO thought.
But the VC crowd did not stay where they were, but suddenly stood up and walked to the middle of the stage.
???
MUWO's head was filled with questions. He felt that he might have misunderstood something, so he wiped his eyes and looked at the screen carefully.
16:1.
"Ah!" This score made MUWO scream, and his surprised voice filled the GG lounge, "Really or not, VC's condition is a bit ridiculous."
"What's wrong?"
MUWO's shouting woke up several other people in the lounge.
MUWO pointed at the score on the TV and received sighs from the crowd.
To be honest, as members of Group A, they are quite concerned about VC.
After all, the previous underworld scene was achieved with VC, and VC was a stumbling block for them to win the championship. They have been blocked by VC many times. If they still have no impression in their hearts, then they are too heartless.
VC returned to the front line this time, and they expected that it might give people a good impression and even restore its previous strength.
But 16:1, is this score a bit exaggerated?
As a member of the same group, GG was already feeling a lot of pressure even before he met VC.
…
Post-match handshake.
"You guys played really well." Although he was very hyperthyroid during the game, he calmed down after the game and MAC recognized the reality and said to NIKO in front of him.
The score is here, they only scored one point in the whole game, and the opponent's iron-blooded defense made their offense like a toy.
In the middle of the game, MAC was actually unconvinced. After all, they were in the endgame for so many rounds and even gained the advantage many times.
But VC players can always find opportunities in the endgame.
This is both luck and strength.
If it happens once or twice, it is normal for MAC to be dissatisfied; but if this kind of endgame happens multiple times, it only proves that their ability to handle the endgame is much different from that of VC.
"Your style of play is a little outdated." Faced with his opponent's heartfelt praise, NIKO quickly gave him some heartfelt advice.
He didn't lie. MG's current fighting spirit and marksmanship are actually not very bad. Only marksmanship has too little time to return to the first-line competition, resulting in some playing styles that are too ladder-like, or too retro.
If you play like this once or twice, you can catch someone by surprise, but if you do it too often, it will be easy for someone to figure out the pattern.
This is one of the important reasons why they were able to win this game so easily.
"There is too little time. We came here to exercise this time." MAC shrugged, quite helpless, but this is also true.
It was a surprise for them to enter the main draw of the Major this time, but they also knew that based on their strength, it would be impossible to go further.
Therefore, MG’s core idea in this Major is to exercise.
MAC quickly added: "But please be careful, we will definitely be different next time we meet."
NIKO smiled and nodded, no longer answering.
He understood MAC's answer very well. If they stopped moving forward, MG would definitely give them a big surprise next time.
But NIKO is not worried.
Just like what the coach told them, this time VC's goal is the trophy in the middle of the arena stage, and the confrontation with MG is just a small fight.
However, when he thought about the offline stage of the finals, there was a hint of gloom in NIKO's eyes.
His performance in the finals of competitions has been unstable many times before, making him a little afraid of the knockout stages.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Yuning patted the dazed NIKO, "You won the game and still look melancholy."
"nothing."
NIKO shook his head and followed Lao Wang back.
Yes, they have won the game now. Compared with their performance in the knockout stage, it is obviously more important to play well in the current game.
VC got its first victory in the group stage and now has a record of 1-0.
After winning, S1mple quickly took to Twitter to express his excitement.
After being led astray by Broky, he is now also a good internet surfer.
Back in the lounge, he sat down on the sofa and started refreshing the CSGO forum.
Sure enough, although their game had just ended, the discussion in the forum had already spread.
S1mple randomly clicks on a thread about VC.
[The back wave pushed the front wave, and the front wave died on the beach! VC easily defeated MG 16:1]
The floor leader below spoke: "VC's performance today really made me wet. His shooting skills directly crushed MG. Those little black guys who said VC is not good are here!"
The number of comments from netizens below is increasing rapidly.
"Let me tell you, VC played really well today."
"If you see someone, you'll be quick to beat them. How can you beat them if they're all stupid?"
"I'm back, I'm all back, this rhythm looks so smooth"
"This MG has a really good mentality. I didn't expect that he wasn't beaten into a mask of pain."
“The old happy CS in North America”
"Actually, it's just because of VC's good luck. Many of the endgame MGs in today's game were just a little bit behind."
"Good luck, good luck, 15 points difference, right?"
"VC couldn't hide its fatigue after scoring 16 points, and MG showed off its true qualities as a strong team by scoring one point, right?"
"MG can brag about this score, but Heizi is showing his chicken feet."
…
At the beginning, the comment area was mostly filled with discussions, but as the number of comments increased, the number of people began to vary.
The rhythm in the comments also quickly went off the rails.
S1mple didn't care about those black fans because he was confident that he could use his own strength to turn those black fans into his real fans.
"Cool!"
After putting away his phone, S1mple shouted happily in the lounge.
Because this game was too short and the gap in strength was too big, he didn't even have any real feeling at the end of the game.
It was only after returning to the lounge and seeing the discussion among netizens that S1mple finally felt the joy of winning.
This lagging emotion made him a little dazed, and also made him sincerely feel the pleasure brought by offline competition.
Others didn't feel anything about S1mple's sudden seizure and were still playing with their phones at their location.
While Meng De went to the bathroom, Wang Yuning also said sincerely in the lounge: "It's great to be able to play a game."
As he spoke, he looked around at his teammates and praised: "Everyone played very well today. If we continue to play in this state, I feel that the coach said that we really have a chance to win the championship."
"When did you lose your confidence?" NIKO laughed at the conductor's lack of confidence.
But Wang Yuning just shook his head. The best result he got was the runner-up in the Major.
He had seen with his own eyes the mess after a painful defeat. He attached great importance to the Major and was more or less afraid of it.
Speaking of confidence, he is not as good as the teammates around him.
Meng De told them before that the goal is to win the Major championship, although according to the results, it is normal to aim for the championship.
But Wang Yuning still had no confidence in his heart, and this "guilt" reached its peak especially after a long training session.
At the beginning of today's game, Wang Yuning was actually very nervous.
Fortunately, after focusing on the game later, he slowly returned to his best condition.
After this game, he gradually gained confidence.
S1mple answered from the side: "Even if I are asked to play in the Major finals now, I won't be ashamed."
"Heh." The door to the lounge was opened, and Meng De walked in with a smile on his face.
"Although everyone played well today, we can't be too confident." Meng De reminded tactfully.
"Isn't self-confidence bad?" Xantares asked in the corner.
It can be seen that he is really doubtful about Meng De's words.
"Confidence is a good thing. It allows us to have sharper marksmanship." Meng De looked around the battle room and said, "But this kind of confidence, I want you to build it on the team, and you also need to know the existence of the team.
defect."
"You are in really good shape this year, and everyone's performance this time was even more beautiful."
"But how long this state can be maintained is a question."
"In terms of personal ability alone, I can think that guys like S1mple and NIKO will be the ceiling-level players in this game, but GG team's MUWO, GOD's Blue Horse Knight, etc. I won't talk about their personal abilities.
Isn’t it strong?”
"After all, this is a team game. If you want to win the trophy, you need every player in the team to be online."
"So in terms of mentality, everyone must not have any problems."
S1mple may just say it on the surface, but Meng De wants to put an end to their arrogant thoughts.
Arrogance is the natural enemy of competitors and should not even appear.
Meng De's tone was not serious, so the lounge was relatively relaxed. Roz turned on the TV in the lounge and started watching the second team's game.
They won the game at the speed of light 16:1, and the game of the second team in Group A is not over yet.
I just turned on the TV and saw the second team's game.
The first day of the competition for the second team was a tank from Germany. This German team performed very well, especially on Sha2.
However, facing the terrifying Sha Er in the tank, VC directly put BP up to eliminate him.
In today's game, the final map is Death Amusement Park.
It was already the 20th round on the TV, and the score between the two sides was 10:9, which was quite anxious.
Although Meng De was not present, the second team still controlled the rhythm of the game very well.
Compared to the first team, their offense seems methodical and the pace is slower.
But this is also slow for map control. Once gla1ve determines the direction, everyone in the second team will immediately start moving, without any ambiguity.
At this moment, after getting the information in area A, the pressure was put on. When the time was almost up, the second team directly launched a wave of explosive bombs in area B.
It's quite easy to fight, but the tank just can't do anything about it.
After feeling the pressure in Area A, the tank adjusted its position and chose 4A1B.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the members of Shan B began to call for help. They wanted to return to defense, but they had to wait until it was too late.
The underwater CT forcibly hit one, and then was shot down by a follow-up shot.
The second team only spent some props to easily take control of Area B and successfully put down the mine pack.
In this 4 vs 4 endgame, Chariot still didn't want to give up and continued to try on the edge.
After being sniped by kennyS, I immediately started to protect my gun, and the score reached 11:9.
"This rhythm is really good." Looking at the game, Wang Yuning sincerely admired.
Recently, Meng De has helped them figure out those minor problems before. There has been no big improvement in the general direction. In addition to tactical research, Wang Yuning and Meng De's recent research has focused on rhythm changes.
Rhythm is a mysterious thing to talk about, but it is an area where great things can be done.
In today's game, because he only played two rounds on the offensive side, Wang Yuning had no chance to try anything.
However, their ability to change pace is not bad, but compared to the second team, there are still some flaws in the transition between speeds.
For example, if they control the map by default at the beginning, and then suddenly need to speed up a wave.
This wave of props may be too hasty and may cause coordination errors.
Although the second team sometimes made mistakes in their coordination because of Broky, it was nothing compared to the first team.
However, in terms of speeding up the fast break, the first team relied on their marksmanship and on-the-spot processing to actually be further ahead.
"Don't go out of your way to learn gla1ve's playing style. You have your own strengths. Just refer to his commanding style." Meng De said at the side.
Now the first and second teams are on the right track. Because of the different playing styles between the players, Mengde initially implemented different system coordination.
They may have had some overlap between the two teams at a certain stage, but now both have gone further in the items they are good at.
It is no longer necessary to forcefully study at this time.
While they were chatting, a few more rounds passed on the field.
Among these waves of attack and defense, there was only one round where the tank's A zone withstood the pressure, and its marksmanship gave it a numerical advantage. The rest of the rounds were overwhelmed by Broky and Tig.
There was no advantage in defending from the front, and the faces of the chariots under the camera all had expressions of pain.
After countless defense lines were penetrated, Chariot began to look for direction elsewhere. However, in the completely different team atmospheres of both sides, Chariot's search for opportunities actually accelerated their death time.
The game soon came to the match point. The desperate tank sniper took out his unarmored sniper and took the initiative to attack immediately, which finally helped the team gain an advantage in the early stage.
However, his subsequent misjudgment of the situation caused him to send the head back.
Broky took the big order from A and seized an opportunity, mutely entering the bank.
He went all the way down, and amid the wails of the tank fans, he directly killed the CT on the B2 floor with a knife, and then raised his gun and instantly killed another person in the B area.
The number of people came to 4 vs. 2. The remaining two people in the tank tried hard to replace Broky, but they were also defeated, losing the last point.
VC.A finally won the first day of the group stage with a score of 16:12.
Meng De had a smile on his face, and both teams got their first victory.
I have never seen such a wonderful start.
Because in many previous games, VC and VC.A usually only had one victory a day, so once they played on the same day, there were always people joking about whether the first team or the second team would win today's game.
Now, they finally broke this 'curse' and won the game on the same day!
