Chapter 218 The Opportunity is Before Me Now (4800 words)
Copenhagen Arena.
As the time for the finals approached, the noise and hustle and bustle at the scene gradually calmed down.
The beautiful host at the major scene also stepped onto the stage at the right time and began to control the atmosphere of the scene, making the audience's emotions even more enthusiastic.
The mood of the audience at the scene was already very high. Amidst the various passionate shouts of the beautiful host, the audience was also very cooperative. There were waves of noise in the venue, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The instructions from the on-site director team came to the ears, and the beautiful host said: "Everyone has been looking forward to this showdown for a long time. Now we don't have to wait any longer. Let us invite the strongest team from Denmark who has won the championship.
The dynasty team that won three major championships—aeeeeeeee!!!!!”
As the host's voice continued to rise, music like drum beats continued to sound in the venue, making people look forward to what will happen next.
When the audience in the stadium heard this, they raised their mobile phones one after another and began to take pictures of the players' tunnel.
The next second, under the bright lights, a group of people wearing maple leaf red uniforms walked out of the darkness.
AE's group of seven people, six players and a coach, walked through the passage across the stands and walked proudly to the center of the stage under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
After they were in place, the music slowly stopped.
But everyone knows that the music will still sound again next time!
"Are you ready?" With an expectant smile on his face, the host began to ask the audience, "There is only one major champion. AE wants to defend the championship, but ple will not agree so easily."
"I think you have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, so let us invite you..."
…
"Then let us invite you!!——vc!!"
The host's voice was amplified through the speakers, and it was still exaggerated when it reached the contestants' tunnel.
After getting the signal from the staff around him, Wang Yuning led the team to the major finals stage as the conductor, and Meng De was at the end of the team as the referee. Walking from the dim passage to the bright venue, what you can see is the building in the stadium.
With the dazzling trophy under the lights and looking at the team members walking forward confidently, Mengde suddenly saw a king gradually moving towards his throne.
There is only a door between the player channel and the venue. It does not cut off too many sounds, nor can it block the enthusiasm of the audience. But after opening the door of the player channel, s1mple seems to have stepped into a new world, with as far as the eye can see.
Countless cameras were shooting at them, and under the bright and dim lights, they looked like pairs of expectant eyes.
Of course, s1mple knew that many of those looks might bring hope to the other party.
But it doesn’t matter, Lao Wang will take action!
The shouts of the audience were invisibly clashing, causing the ground to vibrate. An invisible force was transmitted from the earth through the soles of his feet to his whole body, making Wang Yuning's whole body feel a little soft.
In such an atmosphere, the air seems to be full of restless factors, and s1mple is already excited at this moment!
Amid the excitement of the music, s1mple followed Lao Wang's movements and kept high-fiving the audience beside the aisle.
Although the scene was very noisy, he still heard the excited shout of a little boy behind him: "omg!! s1mple high-fived me..."
s1mple couldn't help but feel a little proud, he now has a lot of fans.
With excitement and excitement, all the VC players finally reached their own place on the stage.
"There are too many people!" The director looked at the flashing lights and cameras in the audience, feeling a little stunned. Whether it was the noise at the scene or the number of people he could see, it was much more than he had ever experienced in previous games.
too much.
"Normal!" Meng De explained, "As we have achieved results in the past two years, the popularity of domestic csgo is constantly increasing. This major has two extremely popular teams competing against each other. I heard Brother Qiang talk about the finals.
The price of a scalper’s ticket is as much as a butterfly knife.”
"That's really an exaggeration."
The director echoed that, after all, the cheapest butterfly knife costs less than one month's salary for ordinary people. Now the price of just watching a final offline is so exaggerated that it has to be lamented.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Niko said very clearly: "You think if I buy a hundred gold stickers of my own on the jewelry software now, will I make a lot of money after playing this game?"
"Damn it." The kid was dumbfounded, "I didn't expect you to make so many twists and turns with your thick eyebrows and big eyes."
s1mple patted Niko's shoulder with a sincere expression, and then said heavily: "Xiao Ni, don't blame your Brother Sen for speaking straightforwardly. You are still young and inexperienced. The water in jewelry is very deep, and everything on the Internet is virtual.
Yes, you can’t control it..."
"Let me do the buying of gold stickers!!"
The crowd burst into laughter instantly.
However, they were just joking to liven up the atmosphere, and did not really want to buy their own gold stickers and resell jewelry. Today they really came to the finals. Although they did not speak, they were still very nervous.
In fact, if they buy them now, they won't make much of a difference in price, because they know exactly how exaggerated the speed of China CSGO accessories is.
A few simple jokes can lighten their mood, which is very good.
Niko stretched his body and looked at the nightclub-like scene in front of him. He felt as if he had returned home and was in the best condition both physically and mentally.
"Now it would be great if I could have a glass of wine and some exciting music..." Niko muttered.
"What did you say?" Uncle Wang came to talk.
But Uncle Wang didn't get an answer, because after the warm-up, the host began to pull people from both sides for pre-game interviews.
The player on the ae side called him "lucky", while the player on the vc side probably called Lao Wang because he was a legendary player.
The audience in the audience also immediately started the pre-game trash talk session.
This kind of link is not uncommon in competitive events, but it can still ignite the enthusiasm of the public, just like the lpl next door, even to the stage of competing for the connotation of trash talk.
The female host looked at the current top player Lucky and asked with a smile: "Next we are going to interview two outstanding players. One is a former legend and the other is the current king. I want to ask you a few questions.
."
"Lucky, you still look so calm now, how do you maintain this state, and how do you feel now."
Lucky took the microphone and waved to the audience naturally: "I feel very good now. How are you? Friends from Copenhagen!"
Lucky's movements were very natural and full of confidence. The audience at the scene also gave this csgo giant a due response. For a while, there were cheers in the venue, and countless people raised their light sticks and started waving them.
"I'm very happy to stand on the stage of CSGO's top event. The enthusiasm of the audience makes me want to get ready." He said very funny, "Even for these lovely audiences, I have to keep the trophy.
Copenhagen."
Some true words are often said in a joking way. Lucky's words at this moment almost clearly said that we can win the next game, successfully defend the title, and win the Four Crowns trophy!
The host also laughed, this was the effect he wanted, and the sound that surged up again at the scene also proved the effect of Lucky's words.
Now that the conversation has started, it’s time to turn your attention to the other side.
The host turned to Wang Yuning and said: "Yu, you may be familiar with this stage. You have also reached the finals in the Fog City Major. How do you feel about being here now?"
When the host said these words, before Wang Yuning spoke, many old fans in the live broadcast room felt a little uncomfortable.
【Dream Broken Fog City】
[Fog City, woo woo woo]
[This woman is simply incapable of lifting any pot, so Lao Wang directly gave her a deliberate punch]
[Emotional intelligence is too high (sweat soybeans)]
【……】
Wang Yuning was also a little embarrassed, but after laughing, he still started to answer the questions seriously:
"I'm very happy to be back here. I enjoy every moment on this stage. This is extremely important to me now."
"I will go all out and not think about the past. It is very special to be able to stand here."
Perhaps the host wanted to be topical, or perhaps because his emotional intelligence was really low, he once again opened his mouth to expose Lao Wang’s scars: “Then will the previous failure affect you?”
Lao Wang, who was holding the microphone on the stage, fell silent.
After two seconds, his voice was a little low:
"The final of that year was ace vs. aka, and the final score was 2-1. At that time, I was standing in the competition room, watching Su Xing slumped on the chair and burst into tears. After that, the team fell apart. This experience has always been hard for me to let go."
The heavy words made the voices in the scene gradually quiet down.
"Sometimes when I wake up from my sleep, I just think, if I can go back to that game again, I will try my best to win everything."
"Flowers will bloom again, people will never be young again, and the failed game cannot be undone..."
At this time, Wang Yuning's eyes were focused on the trophy in the center of the stage. The on-site director also performed at a superb level, perfectly capturing the emotions contained in Wang Yuning's vision and conveying them to everyone.
I saw Wang Yuning saying very seriously: "Just like what our coach taught us, there is no eternal king of csgo. Now that the trophy is in front of me, I must consider whether this is the only opportunity in this life."
"Everything that was lost in my hands will be taken back this time!"
Wang Yuning first explained these words in Chinese, because he knew that there must be a group of people watching in a certain community in the country, and there was something he had always wanted to say to these people.
Then he said it again in English.
But when he was speaking English, all the live broadcast rooms in China exploded!
[Damn, goosebumps all over my body]
【This damn oppressive feeling】
【What is determination? This is determination!!】
[Fuck, these words really shocked me]
【……】
The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with excited barrages. After hearing Wang Yuning's words, the audience and players were in awe.
Of course, the players’ feelings are more profound.
After all, as players, failure and setbacks are their daily experiences, and they can truly understand the determination in Wang Yuning's words.
Many players in the audience couldn't help but compare themselves. If they really stepped onto the stage of the finals, would they be able to treat this final as their only chance like Wang Yuning?
And far away in a certain community in the Magic City of China.
Su Xing looked at Wang Yuning on the screen and said these words with emotion: "It seems that Lao Wang still can't let go of that game."
"Everyone here, who can let go?" 366, a former player from the ace team, said the same thing next to him.
"Now I just hope that Lao Wang can truly break his inner demons in this game." Su Xing murmured.
…
Lao Wang's words caused great fluctuations at the scene, but after the pre-match interview, the players also began to enter the battle room and began to debug their equipment.
After simply confirming that there were no problems with the screen and other peripherals, the settings were adjusted, and everyone quickly entered the gun training map and started pre-match warm-up.
After confirming that the equipment of both players was correct, the referee said to Wang Yuning: "If it is confirmed that it is correct, then please invite both players to enter the room, and the bp session is about to begin..."
Meng De nodded to indicate that there was no problem with VC, and then followed the referee to the center of the stage to guess the coin.
Meng De still chose Wu Zi's side this time. Wu Zi finally worked hard this time and helped vc win the priority to choose the side.
Back in the battle room, under the referee's order, the bo3 map selection phase of the Copenhagen major finals officially began!
Sitting in the player's seat in front of the stands, Broky stared at the screen intently.
Because the competition areas are different, vc and ae have participated in the same competition less often, and the number of times they have played against each other is not too many.
But no matter whether they have had too many battles before, today they are the two strongest teams in the world. After today's bo3, they will be the strongest in the world at the beginning of the showdown!
The strongest in the world is not calculated based on the points system like the HLTV rankings. In contrast, the gold content in the major is unquestionable.
The final winner of this game will be the team with the highest gold content at this stage, and their name can be left in the history of csgo forever.
In comparison, the VC crowd on the player bench behaved quite relaxedly.
Although I was a little nervous when I entered the venue, those nervousness gradually disappeared after I actually touched the computer.
Moreover, as the coach, Meng De rarely got the right to choose sides for them, which can be regarded as a small advantage at the beginning.
Wang Yuning heard Meng De's order and simply banned the amusement park. This map has poor proficiency and recent performance, and he will never be released.
"AE has banned jumping from buildings." Although Coke prefers VC, the data analysis is relatively neutral. "This choice is not surprising. AE's buildings are pretty good, but compared to
VC’s is much worse, and recently their jumping tower has only a 53 win rate, so there is absolutely no need to use it.”
Come to vc one choice.
The team members looked at Lao Wang and the coach, waiting for their instructions.
"What should we choose? Maze and Sha Er choose one, and the town can let them choose." Meng De expressed his thoughts.
In Sha Er and Lost City, although they have had limited success in these maps recently, they have never lost in the end. They are still very confident when playing.
"How about it's still Sha Er, Sha Er's offensive team first finds the rhythm." Wang Yuning suggested.
Others don't have any opinions. The general direction of the VC team is basically determined by the coach and director. Others occasionally give some ideas.
"Picture 1 has been determined to be Sha 2." Taro Yuan said, "Then it depends on how AE chooses. I personally think that they should choose a train..."
"Sure enough, Danish Train King still took out their train."
The map Train is a strong map for AE, but other top teams often ban this map, denying them a chance to perform.
Today vc chose to release it because of its own strategy, so naturally ae will not release it again.
After the first selection, both sides banned the Purgatory Town and the Lost City. The third picture left behind was a nuclear crisis.
In this way, the map of this bo3 game is determined:
Picture 1: Hot Sand City
Picture 2: Train parking station
Figure 3: Nuclear crisis
The scene has entered the final preparation stage and the competition will begin soon.
On the players' bench, Meng De distributed the tactical papers in his hands to each of them, and then waved.
The players all came to his side and formed a "grouping trend".
"For picture 1, let the ruthless ones come on stage." Meng De arranged the players first, and then warned, "We still can't rush in the early stage. We can take our time in attacking and figure out the opponent's routines bit by bit."
"We have done a lot of research on ae before the game, and it should be helpful to you next."
"The most important thing is not to be anxious and don't let the opponent take away the initiative. As long as we score 7 points offensively, there will be basically no pressure in the second half."
"The next step is to show your brilliance to the world and let everyone get to know the VC players!"
"Finally, tell them we are!"
"vc!!"
The loud shouts of the players made the audience respond continuously. Facing the roar, everyone in VC couldn't help but feel adrenaline soaring in their hearts. They were extremely eager to enter the competition and show their own strength!!
