The head coach of the French FG team is called Frank. At the age of 54, he is already an old man in the e-sports industry.
Many people who love and hate French CSGO do not like this little old man, thinking that he is the one who brought French CSGO into the abyss little by little.
But in fact, the decline of French CSGO is not due to him.
Before the Danish army was formed, CSGO geniuses totaled 10 points, and the French would occupy 30% of the positions.
At that time, French CSGO was at its peak, and you could always see outstanding French players in the professional arena.
The turning point of the story is that as the former geniuses aged, their strength on the field declined rapidly, and they finally fell under the dazzling light of the Danes.
The former head coach of the FG team was affected by public opinion under this situation and chose to withdraw from the game.
At this time, Frank, who had worked hard in the football industry all his life, chose to join the e-sports industry across fields.
The differences between different industries make Frank’s approach to coaching different from coaches of other teams.
Rather than spending money to buy ready-made talent from other teams, his experience in the football industry makes him more willing to cultivate his own youth training talents.
But this takes time.
Fans are the most results-oriented group of people in the world.
The establishment of the youth training system made Frank controversial. It was not until FG slowly returned to the first-line competition in the past two years that the reputation became better.
He also gradually proved his concept that Pepper is a talented player who came purely from the youth training system.
There was once a kennyS who was raised by him in the youth training and planned to sharpen his temper. However, he was accidentally sold by the damn youth training coach. This made him extremely angry, and he still feels resentful when he thinks about it many times.
.
Fortunately, this time he found another French genius.
If the talent of CSGO players can shine in the dark night, then Frank believes that zywoo's talent must be the sun in the dark night.
It was just a pity for him that even though Zywoo was extremely talented, she still seriously considered academic issues and rejected his invitation.
Frank thought that there happened to be a youth training league recently, and Zywoo's studies were almost completed. Isn't this a coincidence?
Taking out his cell phone, Frank searched for the phone numbers of Zywoo's parents in his address book, preparing to invite them again.
But suddenly I received a push message.
[VC officially signed Tig and signed two young players at the same time...]
Having just stepped on the Dane's head and won the Major championship, no one will ignore VC anymore.
As a target they need to catch up with, Frank still needs to pay more attention to some news about VC.
Click on the message and quickly see the specific content.
“According to the news from @VC E-Sports Club, VC Club chose to list Tig on the trading market after friendly negotiations with Tig himself. If the team is willing, they can send a private message to @VC E-Sports Club.
Immediately after winning the championship, VC Club signed two talented young players. Their IDs are DD and zywoo. Coach MD has proven his vision in two years. We can also look forward to the future of these two young players.
Show their strength on the field..."
What he knows about Tig is that the substitute member in VC.A is barely above the line in terms of strength, similar to the strength of several war criminals in their team.
He wouldn't go out of his way to buy a player of this level, since the price is not low.
Secondly, even if you want to learn some of the strengths of VC through Tig, communication will be a problem.
But at the end of the article, Frank felt a little bad.
Zywoo, is he the Zywoo in his memory?
He opened the social software and found the VC Club account from the people he followed.
At a glance.
"Why don't you eat fried pancakes? Oh, MD, what are you doing!!"
The little old man has put on a mask of pain.
The first update above is:
VC E-Sports Club: "Welcome VAC league passer-by Wang DD (Wu Hui) and French genius zywoo (Mathieu Herbaut) to join VC.F (youth training)."
This news about the introduction of new people is not too eye-catching, and the comments are not even as high as the fact that Tig was placed on the trading market below. Only some VC fans expressed their expectations for the two villains below.
but!
This is definitely a bolt from the blue for FG’s head coach Frank!
Because he clearly saw that this post was worthy of several photos.
The photo is about the two newcomers VC. It can be seen at a glance that it was taken in the training room and the technical content is not high.
But isn't the little fat guy in the second picture, the fourth picture, and the fifth picture the same Zywoo he wants to invite?
"MD, you are simply not human!"
…
"Deng Deng."
The sound of a message came from the phone. Meng De opened it and saw that someone had replied to the updates posted on the social software.
On weekdays, the maintenance of these social accounts is basically completed by the team's assistant, but these days he happens to be free, and his mobile phone is also taken care of by him.
FG. E-Sports Club replied: "MD, are you thinking about our French CSGO geniuses all day long? I finally fell in love with one, and you took it away again! (angry)... Do you want French CSGO to die?" (angry)(angry)”
Frank was very unwilling. Kenny S, who had planned to be raised in the youth training, was taken away by Meng De. As a result, this guy on the other side made a quicker move and signed the contract directly before him, without giving him any chance at all.
Meng De also became interested when he saw this scene, and typed a reply: "Is it possible that VC is more attractive now."
Looking at the reply on the phone, Frank was speechless.
Let me put it bluntly, no matter in terms of current results, club atmosphere and training speed, VC has basically crushed FG in all aspects.
It seems that no matter from any angle, they can't compare to their opponent.
Farke! What should I do if I suddenly want to be a coach in VC?
The interesting interaction between Meng De and Frank soon attracted a group of passers-by, and the number of replies under that post continued to increase.
"Haha, humble Frank."
"Is it possible that French CS can be legit in VC."
"Despicable MD, you are going to ruin French CS!"
"It seems that this newcomer is very capable, otherwise Frank wouldn't be so sad."
"I am somewhat looking forward to the youth training league in the next offseason."
"There happens to be no competition, so pay attention to the newcomers, haha."
After such a conversation between the two in the comment area, Zywoo and DD's attention has increased a lot.
Although the two of them are still in the VC youth training camp, the audience's expectations for them are still very high.
Therefore, many viewers are beginning to look forward to the next youth training league.
There is a boring offseason ahead. If they want to watch live games, there are only some third-tier games.
Instead of watching the games between these teams that we don’t know at all, it’s better to watch the fights between these first-line youth training teams.
After the Major game, VC won the championship, and fans of other teams were naturally convinced.
But this youth training league also allows them to place their hopes on the next young players.
After all, the guys on the home team are no longer very good, so they naturally "hope for success" and hope that the backup force will have potential.
…
Shortly after the Major ended, the official announcement of the Y Youth Training League S1 season and the list of participating teams was announced.
The competition will be held from May 24th to June 26th, with a total prize pool of US$200,000.
The participating teams are: VC Youth Training Team, AE Youth Training Team, AKA Youth Training Team, FG Youth Training Team, LL Youth Training Team, AO Team, RC Team, GOD Youth Training Team, GG Youth Training Team, HC Youth Training Team.
Team, Chariot Youth Training Team, MG Youth Training Team.
There are a total of twelve teams. It is worth mentioning that in this youth training competition, two main competition teams from China were included, which caused a lot of discussion among the Chinese people.
But in fact, this was a choice made by AO team manager and RC boss Huang Yu after asking Meng De.
For the two domestic teams, RC and AO, their strength is barely adequate in Asia, but when compared with those European teams, they are completely inferior.
Just like the Copenhagen Major that just ended, RC was still taken away at the speed of light even with Xigua and SANJI, and its strength was simply not enough.
In the CSGO profession, strength means everything.
If you are not strong enough, participating in a position that does not suit your status may attract criticism, but if it can make the team make some progress, it will be enough.
Moreover, among these youth training teams, the Chariot Youth Training Team and the GOD Youth Training Team have a very good winning rate compared to the second-tier teams. They can be regarded as real second-tier teams.
Therefore, the intensity of this youth training league is not low for the current RC and AO. Even if they want to win the championship, it will become a problem.
This youth training league has three stages:
The group stage will be divided into two groups, with six teams in each group, for a group BO1 round-robin match. The first place in the group will directly enter the knockout round, and the second to fifth place in the two groups will enter the BO3 ladder stage respectively.
In the ladder match, the fifth-placed team in the group will challenge the third-placed team, and the winner will continue to challenge the third-placed team, and so on. In the end, the two teams that reach the end will enter the knockout stage.
The knockout stage will adopt a BO3 double-elimination knockout format.
As the start time approaches day by day, y officials also announced the grouping situation of the group stage.
Group A: VC Youth Training Team, Chariot Youth Training Team, RC Team, LL Youth Training Team, AKA Youth Training Team, FG Youth Training Team.
Group B: AE youth training team, MG youth training team, AO team, HC youth training team, GG youth training team, GOD youth training team.
…
The offseason has just begun, and it is naturally boring for fans of major teams.
Big A news hasn’t started to break out yet, and days without games are always uncomfortable.
At this time, the opening of the youth training league has become a meal replacement for many fans of the game.
With the idea that they couldn't watch the first-line games and could make do with the youth training games, they began to pay attention to this youth training league.
On the first day of the competition, the VC youth training team faced their former seniors, the RC team.
The VC youth training team, which was on the field for the first time, obviously had not yet adjusted its state. In the end, it lost the game with a score of 12:16, which made a group of teenagers very unwilling.
Little did they know that after the match between SANJI and Xigua on the opposite side, they were so shocked that they broke into a cold sweat. They never thought that VC, a youth training team, had already forced them to this extent.
If it weren't for Xigua's rich experience and established an advantage in the overall game, it is very likely that he would have lost to VC.
VC.F, which experienced its first defeat on the first day, was not discouraged. Lin Yi led a group of young players to sum up their experiences and lessons, and adjusted their positions and playing styles.
At the beginning of the second day's game, they faced the well-known Chariot youth training team.
Most people who have followed the second-tier competition know that in this youth training league, the Chariot youth training team is definitely a king-level team.
Between the VC youth training camp and the Chariot youth training camp, most people choose to believe in historical results and believe that Chariot will win.
But they didn't expect that the result of this game would be 16:9.
Chariot, a well-known second-tier team, didn't even get a double-digit score in their hands.
At the end of the game, zywoo's exaggerated KD of 22-11 blinded people.
Meng De was quite satisfied with what he saw, whether it was their quick adjustments or the performance of several young players in the game.
The two biggest problems in Group A have been solved. In the next few days of the group stage, the VC youth training team has become the big devil of Group A.
At the end of the group stage, with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, they also ranked first in the group with the Chariot Youth Training Team.
For teams with the same points, Team Y has obviously already thought of a strategy and calculated round points before the game.
To put it simply, the points for this round are calculated according to the round in which you lead after winning. The more you lead, the more points you will get.
Although Chariot Youth Academy failed to beat VC Youth Academy, they looked like a monster against other teams.
In the end, they were ahead of the VC Youth Academy in round points and successfully advanced to the knockout rounds as the first in the group.
The group stage has officially ended, and the Group A LL youth training team has been eliminated.
In Group B, the AE youth training team was eliminated.
Regarding this result, Meng De and most professional players predicted it correctly.
LL, although their current strength is gradually getting on the right track, they have just emerged from the quagmire, so how can they care about youth training? The strength of the youth training team is completely unparalleled in the ladder, and there are not many tactics or details.
On the other side is AE youth training. Before this Major, AE management did not pay much attention to youth training.
According to Mengde, if his home team can win three Major championships, he will put all his thoughts on the home team. The youth training is to plan for the future. The previous AE did not consider this at all.
So this time when I came to the AE youth training, I was beaten severely and returned.
Zywoo is naturally very happy to be able to survive the group stage.
After all, you can start getting bonuses from the knockout stage.
Although it is true that they have not played in VAC league games before to get bonuses, this is their first time since entering the profession, and the meaning cannot be the same.
The young guys have expectations for the future in their hearts and seize the time to train hard.
…
This youth training league will not be too long, just a simple transition.
