With the appearance of the final list of this Copenhagen major, the attention generated by the major has become higher and higher, and the level of discussion has made many hot search headlines on the Internet. Many edited videos are also popular among young people.
Big short video websites have begun to flood the screen, which has raised the recent attention of csgo to a very high place.
As a spectator and practitioner, Li Tu was naturally happy to see this happen. This classic game deserves more newcomers to get involved, and these outstanding players also deserve more attention.
.
It is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, 3 hours before the start of the finals. The ticket check-in office has not even started checking tickets yet. However, from Li Tu's perspective, the entrance is already so crowded that he can't even see.
Where is the end of the line?
Spectators from all over the world have great expectations for the next finals. They all hope to enter the venue as soon as possible and wait for the game to start.
However, as an industry practitioner, Li Tu can still enjoy some "special preferential treatment."
Li Tu turned on his camera on the side, made sure that the recording had started, and entered the venue in advance from the side passage with the staff's pass in hand.
At this time, there were exclamations from the ticket-checking team at the back. He turned around and saw a player from Raging Bear appearing in the ticket-checking team, which caused cheers from the team, but according to experience
It is said that that area will soon become a "fan signing event".
Li Tu picked up his camera and recorded this scene.
It was not unusual for the eliminated players to come offline to watch the game, but he was also a little surprised because when he was tinkering with the camera before, a group of players had already entered through the side passage. Today, this happened.
There are really too many players coming to watch the game.
But if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.
Now this game affects the hearts of countless csgo players. First of all, vc is the most famous Internet celebrity team in the past two years. s1mple and others have countless fans around the world. You often go to a ranked game.
Ten people have at least one ID related to VC, which is enough to show the status of VC in the hearts of players.
And what about ae?
This current big devil, their reputation is well known in the csgo world. Even the audience who purely enjoy the game understand what this team represents in today's csgo.
Powerful, rigorous and unrivaled!
This is synonymous with them. For e-sports, the championship is everything! AE has been interpreting this sentence with actions in recent years.
Countless competition champions, three major level champions.
It's hard to estimate the number of championship fans they have, but their foundation is definitely greater than vc.
Now that the two teams with the largest number of fans in the world are fighting against each other, it will naturally arouse this level of enthusiasm.
As for the strength of both sides?
After being brought into vc, Li Tu's heart was still heavy. The strength of the Danes was demonstrated by their record, and Li Tu had been their fan for a while.
But after rising from vc, Li Tu became less fond of ae.
Maybe it's because he has something to put in his heart, or maybe it's because AE's victory is too easy every time, and he loses his fans.
After all, whether it is from the perspective of a reporter or an ordinary csgo viewer.
A game where the two sides fight to the end and the two sides constantly play back and forth to chase points is definitely more enjoyable to watch.
And what about ae at his peak?
Almost without watching the process, they all knew that when they woke up, it was another big victory, without any suspense and without any trace.
Nowadays, the support rate of VC is higher on the Internet. After all, everyone likes to see AE win the game effortlessly in the finals. With the home advantage, VC cannot fight back?
Maybe it’s just the AE supporters themselves…
Today, he still hopes that the game will be more suspenseful and that VC can score more points, even...
Win at home in Denmark!
But Li Tu soon shook his head and threw this bold idea out of his mind.
Winning against the ever-popular AE at home in Denmark, now that I think about it, maybe this kind of plot would only happen in Denmark.
The reporter from China laughed at himself.
Come on!
…
"Everyone, welcome back. Now you are watching the live broadcast of the Copenhagen major. I am the commentator."
"I am explaining Coke."
The live broadcast camera had just been opened. In order to quickly draw the audience into the atmosphere, Taro Yuan also quickly found a topic: "Today's final will ultimately be between vc and ae. What do you think?"
"Actually, we can see from everyone's predictions before the game." Coke said very helplessly, "Except for Gangzi who randomly selected, everyone else's homework is probably sent... Who would have thought that Group A would have a horse?
The big dark horse directly defeated Team A."
"During the entire early stage of the major, everyone thought that GG still had Team A, and even FG could stand out. Who would have thought that GG would get sick and leave early, FG would be in jail, and Team A would not be as skilled as others, but VC would be stumbling and leaving.
At the end."
Taro Yuan continued to ask: "In today's game, which team do you support more?"
"If you look at the historical record and recent performance, AE, a well-established Danish team with home field advantage, is naturally a good choice, but..." Coke's voice changed, "But so what if we stumble, I will still be with me here.
Same as my homework, I will support vc unconditionally!”
"Don't you know that my nickname is VC's biggest fan?"
Hearing this, Taro Yuan was stunned, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also dumbfounded.
[Teacher Le, that’s not necessary!]
[Why is it that the keyboard has started leaking milk before the game even starts? 】
[Coke, please stop talking, the taro balls feel like they are blocking his mouth]
【……】
Coke's categorical statement made the VC fans in the live broadcast room instantly feel a chill in their backs.
Before knowing Coke, they also believed in science; now they are more willing to believe in metaphysics, because Coke’s power is so profound!
Taro Yuan also said: "Brother Le, what does VC have to do with you?"
"They are not guilty enough to die!"
The live broadcast room instantly became a sea of joy, but this time Coke did not change his words in the end. He wanted to cheer for VC from the bottom of his heart, even though VC may not know that there is a commentator on the other side of the world.
In front of the camera, I unconditionally believe that they can win the championship.
…
"There are still twenty minutes left for both teams to enter the arena. Henry, what do you think of today's game?" asked Johnny, the English stream commentator.
Henry thought for a few seconds and said: "Objectively speaking, the strength gap between the two teams is not as big as imagined."
"How to say?"
"Although VC has not performed well in recent months, don't forget that they also spent a few weeks at the top of the team rankings at the beginning of the year, and now they have entered the finals. If we say that their strength is poor, that is us
I have a problem understanding the game.”
Johnny couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. There is no doubt about this. Even if VC was eliminated today, it would still be the runner-up in the major. It is second in the world today. How could it be inferior in strength?
Henry's analysis is still vicious: "But if VC wants to easily win against AE, it is not so easy... Although they staged a wonderful showdown in the semi-finals, it also illustrates some problems."
"That is, VC is still a slow-paced team. This team relies too much on individual abilities and requires too much of players' status. And status is really a metaphysics that no one can completely grasp, and they kill
Their ability to stop the game is somewhat poor. In recent games, there have been cases where the game ended after entering overtime, which is enough to show that they have problems with continuous rhythm control..."
"In comparison, ae has fewer problems playing at home. If I were to choose one of the two teams to support today, I would be more optimistic about ae."
The analysis made a lot of sense, and most of the Danish fans at the scene also liked hearing this, and they all started cheering for a while.
…
Everyone in vc had finished their rest with their eyes closed and were about to pack their things and head to the player tunnel to start preparations, when there was a knock on the door.
Then they saw Meng De, the head coach, and team leader Wu Qiang walking in.
Wu Qiang held a shopping bag, took out a box of chocolates, opened it and said, "Everyone come to me to claim some. Everyone can take a few and save them for later to replenish their energy during the intermission."
After the semi-final match yesterday, Wang Yuning complained to Wu Qiang that he was old and his physical strength was not enough.
Only then did Wu Qiang remember that he had to make preparations in advance in case of emergencies.
Although there are bananas available during halftime, the fullness brought by bananas may cause fatigue to the players, so after discussion, members of the coaching staff chose to buy some chocolates for the players to take with them to replenish sugar at any time.
.
No one had any objections, so they all took some and put them in their pockets.
"Okay, okay, the meeting is about to begin." Meng De clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to follow him.
"As everyone knows, before the start of this game, I didn't have high expectations for the first team. I just wanted to slowly bring your attitude back. Unexpectedly, it gave me a surprise now."
Everyone in the team laughed. Their efforts had paid off, and they were naturally happy now.
But the second team on the other side felt a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the eyes of the team members, Meng De also took the initiative to say: "gla1ve, don't be discouraged. Majors are like this. They become more cruel as you go to the back. Only by winning against everyone else can you win the final championship. You failed in the semi-finals.
Lao Wang and others are naturally upset, but you are also inferior in skills. You must remember this failure, but you are not stuck in it and can't get out..."
"Originally, because you are not in very good condition, my goal was only to advance to the quarterfinals. Now we have achieved the goal before coming here, and now we have entered the finals. I just had a phone call with the boss..."
Upon hearing this, the players' eyes lit up, and there was a commotion in the lounge.
The finals are about to start now, and VC has a chance to win the major trophy. At this time, the boss calls. Isn't it obvious?
Everyone in the lounge looked at Meng De, their eyes shining.
Meng De did not show off and said very clearly: "Because now there is a chance to win the championship, the boss decided that if VC wins the championship trophy in the end, the final bonus will be 20 million yuan!"
After hearing the numbers from Meng De's mouth, everyone in the lounge took a deep breath.
Twenty million may not be much for the LPL, but for an e-sports project with a cup system like CSGO, it is really an exaggerated number.
The final prize money for this Copenhagen major is only 1 million U.S. dollars, which is less than 700 million when converted into RMB.
The meaning of Meng De's words was almost telling them that as long as they can win ae, the club will give them several times more money than their bonus!
20 million yuan, even if one point is added to the coaching staff, each person will start with at least 3 million yuan, which is even higher than the salary of some of them in several years.
Even if a director with a relatively rich income still has s1mple, he can buy another luxury car for himself.
The lounge was filled with cheers, and s1mple even wanted to sing Katyusha the next second.
The excitement brought by money made the team that was about to appear on the stage instantly full of fighting spirit. Broccoli even saw in a trance that s1mple had added red-eye special effects.
1ve said: "Although the second team did not continue, this major is still a good result, and there will still be rewards when we go back."
Broccoli and her teammates looked at each other a few times, their eyes filled with joy.
Mengde did not reveal the specific amount in the end. It may be very different from the bonus of the first team, but this is already an unexpected surprise.
The air in the lounge has been filled with fighting spirit, and a group of people want to rush out of the room and go on stage to crush the Danes in two hours.
Seeing everyone's state, Meng De couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of the rich woman.
His eyes swept over the team members, and after a long silence he said with a smile:
"There are still ten minutes left, and this last B3 game is about to begin..."
Before this bo3 started, he finished explaining all the tactics he needed to talk about.
Then he turned to s1mple and said, "Do you still remember that two years ago I said I would take you slowly to the world?"
s1mple nodded. At that time, he wanted to gradually become famous through his own ambition.
"I favored you."
Low laughter came from the lounge, and s1mple was also embarrassed.
Two years ago, Meng De was still worried about how to keep his job. He was just bragging casually to keep s1mple, and he never thought that one day it would actually come true.
"You have reached the stage of the major finals. I may have worried before whether you can really win the championship, whether your state has been adjusted well, whether the tactics need to be expanded, and whether the positions of the players need to be adjusted."
Mengde changed his words: "But after yesterday's game, all the doubts in my mind disappeared. I now believe that we can win the championship!"
His voice was not loud and could not even reach the ears of the staff at the door, but it truly entered the hearts of the players and gave them a solid sense of confidence.
"From the beginning of the team establishment, my ideas were different from the mainstream. I wanted to train you to be a team that relies on firepower output, rather than the mainstream team coordination. Now two years have passed, your state may not be as good as expected.
Best, but enough!”
"Ae, this team cannot compete with us in terms of personal ability. As for the richness of tactics, I think you will not lack confidence..."
"What's really powerful about them is their army-like cooperation and execution. These are what we have to fight against with hard power, so as long as we fight hard, the winning rate is actually not low!"
The breathing in the lounge became a little heavier. Meng De's words convinced them and made them start to think - if it is true as the coach said, do they have a chance to win the championship?
"All our training has been completed, so in the next game, let's give it a try and take action without any scruples..."
"Win this game and truly leave our name in the major!"
