Chapter 585 The desire for victory is the best stimulant
The second day of the IEM group stage.
Mengde's biological clock woke him up from his sleep early. Before the team members got up, he planned to go out for exercise, but the sound of "pattering" rain came to his ears, which disrupted his plan.
He could only move around in the hotel for a while, and then while eating the breakfast prepared by the hotel, he turned on the computer to find a game to watch.
After taking a bite of bread, he unknowingly browsed to the forum as he wanted to watch the game.
In the morning, the work time has not yet come, so it is his time to play, so it doesn't matter if he takes advantage of the situation to read the discussions among netizens in the forum.
The first day of the IEM Cologne group stage has just ended. In addition to discussions about accessories and plug-ins, the rest of the discussion in the forum is about the performance of each team in this event.
The offseason has just ended, and many teams have strengthened or updated their lineups. For these new lineups, the audience still feels a lot of freshness, so the discussion is much hotter than usual.
.
"One thing to say, after Icarus retires, AKA will have nothing to play with. He can't even beat Team A."
"The newcomers in VC are indeed monsters. The performance of Zhaowu yesterday made it difficult for me to beat him. AKA lost unjustly."
"The strength gap is indeed a bit bullying. The strength of Team A's lineup feels very impressive, but there is still a gap between them and the top teams. The opponent is AE after all."
The audience had a heated discussion in the live broadcast room, and their prediction of Team A's overall record was not too exaggerated. If kennyS was here, they still believed that Team A would have a slight chance of winning. Now kennyS has gone to FG
, the replacement of the main players will greatly affect the strength of a team.
"You still watch VC games now? Come on, I woke up with another big victory..."
"Like a team like them, although they will be unhappy and complain after losing, they will review a lot of games to find out the reasons for the failure and make themselves stronger little by little so that they will not be in the same team in the future.
I fell down twice during my mistakes.”

So when the countdown ended, all members of team A rushed towards area A.
As the representative of Team A, Meng De won the coin guessing and got the right to be the first team.
Everyone in the training room was looking at DD, and for a while the only sound in their ears was the sound of raindrops hitting the windows.
DD knew that his attitude was wrong, but his thoughts entered a dead end and it was difficult to connect for a while.
gla1ve and others also looked at DD. To be honest, they had had the idea of DD before, but now they are slowly coming out of this alley.
The feeling of gap between the ladder and the profession was very disappointing.
5:1, AE finally got their first point.
After such an episode, there was not much time left in the morning. Meng De simply omitted the game video and simply explained to them the idea of today's game: "Today's match with AE is still BO3. For this BO3, AE's strong picture is ours."
Just ignore it and release it for training. When the time comes, we can use various tactics."
"Carrying goods? Can he do it?"
"I don't know, so let's see if he can withstand the pressure in front of a team like AE?"
But Xiaoju made a wave of top-notch moves around the link, which directly knocked him upside down.
"I don't know if he listened to it, or if a cigarette made him figure it out on his own." Seeing DD's state, Meng De had no choice but to judge that he really listened to it.
Xiaoju's smoke bomb was exploded under the hay cart. Its function is to block A1's view of the large and small pits, so that several people from A1 can charge directly to the encirclement point.
gla1ve also came up with an idea. He knew that the cigarette was about to disappear, so he came to the cigarette and prepared to seize the opportunity to replenish the cigarette.
The Hanged Man was very excited after getting the first score, and the sound of shouting "NICE" in the game room reached Team A.
So after the first wave of map control in Banana Road ended, they directly chose to fight against the clear with two players.
When the long gun round came, gla1ve had a very clear idea. His understanding of AE made him choose to lead his teammates to change speed and go to area A for a fast attack in the first long gun round.
Xiaoju on the A2 floor didn't find a good opportunity and was killed directly.
As the gunfire slowly slowed down, the final result was that they gained control of the A package point at the cost of 1 for 3.
Because I had already sorted out my ideas before, the BP time was quite fast.
Amid the expectations of the audience, the BP session of this game finally began.
Continuous offensive failures and continuous early drops made it difficult for them to organize a complete wave of bomb attacks.
Figure 1: Purgatory Town.
"My 40-meter knife has reached 39 meters..."
When Meng De took the team to watch the video of AE's match yesterday, DD seemed very absent-minded, perhaps because of the sound of rain.
And today's Electronic Brother is very unlucky. According to the data cut from the director, he suffered nearly 400 item damage in the first half, which was basically red blood, which is hard to understand.
After putting down the mine bag, he did not let down his vigilance in the endgame where he had an advantage, but kept his guard steadily. The opponent had no desire to pick up the endgame, and the pistol game was successfully won.
Broky didn't want to let the electronic brother give it away in vain, let the carrier continue to throw the second flash, and then mix it directly from the gangster's cigarette to output.
In the end, the score of the first half was fixed at 6:9, a classic gesture.
However, no one is optimistic about the game on the second day of the group stage.
"Yesterday's performance was good, but AKA is also a changing team, so the reference value is not high."
gla1ve directed his teammates to call a wave of tactics, instead of defaulting as usual.
This round also has a huge impact on the situation. In the clip after the first half, the audience can only see the picture of Team A struggling offensively. The star player of the AE team, the Hanged Man, is also in ridiculously good condition today and appears on the screen.
Among them is the kill shot.
This morning, Meng De said a lot to DD.
During the halftime break, everyone encouraged each other and hoped to turn the situation around in the second half.
Before entering the profession, the only people competing with him were passers-by on the ladder, and a DD with outstanding talent would definitely be able to stand out from them.
However, the opponent's flash bomb was so deadly that he was forced to use a backdodge.
He moved with a sweep of fire and forcibly avenged Brother Electronics, but the opponent still made up for him the next time.
Figure 3: Scorching Sand City
In the second round, gla1ve expected that the opponent would make a strong attack, so he chose to continue a wave of explosive bombs in area A.
Facing the news in the town, the competition in Figure 1 officially begins!
The pistol round begins, with Team A starting as the attacking side.
In fact, even Meng De and everyone in the second team who had woken up while he was browsing the forum didn't have much confidence.
"Have a hair. Most of the people today are here to watch Zaiwu's performance."
You can tell from the three stars below their ID.
"Many players who have shined in the industry sometimes failed to perform well in several events and disappeared from the public's view for no apparent reason. Why is this?"
Among these newcomers, Zaiwu was like a dimensionality reduction attack, and his performance on the first day of the game was extremely dazzling.
"I definitely don't know." DD answered honestly.
"kennyS performed well yesterday. I thought he was here to save FG, but I didn't expect that he and Pepper were in jail together."
By the end, he was so thirsty that he walked out of the room in silence and smoked a cigarette on the balcony in the cold rain.
The flash of the load came half a beat too late, allowing him to get the first kill.
Like several other teams that have changed their formations, their strength in this tournament has been greatly reduced as a result of the substitutions. It will take time to determine whether they can return to their previous level.
Just like going to work in a company, you only get a small amount of money if you work hard, and you only get a small amount of money if you don't work hard.
Meng De's expression remained normal, "The coach is very happy that you can take the initiative to speak out your thoughts. But the coach doesn't like the idea you just had."
After everyone was in position, Xiao Ju on the second floor was given a smoke bomb under the hay cart. A motorcycle was also given in the middle to block the attack.
The electronic guy who was in first place didn't get any props this time, so he was actually in pretty good shape.
But what about after entering the profession? The opponents he competes with are all talented young people who have stood out from the ladder like him. The pressure he needs to face at this time is no longer on the same level.
Is AE strong?
By default, they are familiar enough. Since the opportunity to fight is rare, some tactics need to be practiced.
If he still had some thoughts about the game with AE before, after playing the training match last night, the unrealistic expectations in his heart disappeared. He was a little unable to think about the next game.
Come in spirit.
On the second day of the IEM Cologne group stage, the popularity has slowly increased.
"It was because of failure that they were defeated! Yes, sometimes failure is inevitable, but the experience of playing against AE before was very valuable to us. Your idea is wrong from the root.
"
Many talented young people fail at this level of mentality.
His desire to win in competition is very strong, and DD's competitiveness is considered to be at the top among the players in the entire VC Club.
The strength of the two sides is not equal, but the popularity is pretty good. Before the game started, many viewers had already started discussions in the live broadcast room.
The three people on A1 dealt with the package points, and the two people on the second floor dealt with the large and small pits. Team A's long-prepared tactics easily divided the defensive area of Area A.
The score went all the way to 5:0, and the second long gun game with full armor and ammunition came.
"Just like today, there are so many teams that have appointments with the first team for training matches that you can't count them. There are some second-tier teams among them. Don't they know that they can't beat them? But why do they still come to get beaten? They just want to train from here.
Learn from the experience in the game, and then integrate it into your own nutrition..."
In fact, there are quite a few newcomers entering the competition for the first time at IEM Cologne, such as AKA's Fear and GG's conductor...
Among today's match groups, the most anticipated match is the match between VC.A and AE.
Team A was the only team to win, so they were also called one of Cologne's best rookie teams in the forum.
"We'd better choose a small town to find out what the situation will be like when we see the last map."
Meng De asked again: "Then there is no need to play the game? It's like a team. Did they win the Major championship directly from their debut? The failure in the Fog Major, the failure in Cato... I won't list them one by one.
, there is no star player who has not experienced failure in the past, but the attitude towards these failures will create different people."
Although AE's defense was timely this time, under the suppression of firearms, they still failed to complete the comeback feat.
Finally, he looked at DD, who was in normal condition, patted him on the shoulder, leaned close to him and said: "I just said so much, I don't know if you really understand or pretend to understand. You just need to remember that for victory,
Desire is the best stimulant.”
In fact, this is also an important hurdle that an ordinary passer-by will encounter when heading towards a career.
Perhaps it was because of his strong desire to compete that it was difficult for him to handle failure in the game.
"Show your style and enjoy the happiness that CSGO brings us."
"AE in this group basically won a game for nothing, which is so cool."
"The Danes are still strong. Even if FG adds a K-god, they still can't beat them. Why do you feel that the Danes are stronger now than they were during the Major?"
He opened fire as soon as he was given a cigarette, and gla1ve was shot and killed before he could show up.
After coming back, it seems that the condition has been restored.
"The second team was originally built with gla1ve and a few people. At that time, their strength was not outstanding. They have been in the second tier for a long time and have experienced so many failures that they can't even count them. They knew they would be able to win.
Do you want to get off the other side?"
"Yesterday's VC game was so exciting that it kept pausing and made me fall asleep watching it."
gla1ve judged that the opponent would start to strengthen the defense in area A, so he was forced to slow down the pace and default to the start.
But the defeat in the pistol round caused them to lose their early rhythm.
It is worth mentioning that on the first day of the group stage, except for Team A, all other teams that changed their formations basically lost.
This score is not unbeatable, but for a good start of 5:1, it is obviously not worthy of satisfying everyone in Team A.
…
"It's nothing." DD was silent for a while, then said helplessly, "I just don't understand. Should we be so serious about a game that we are destined to lose?"
Meng De frowned, "DD, what's going on with you?"
But he forgot that the other party was also an evil Dane.
There were a lot of discussions about various teams in the forum, but he paid more attention to some discussions about his own team. The load was not as good as he expected, and the talent was overwhelming. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how exaggerated the strength of this little fat guy was.
.
There is only one load left, which is powerless in a 1v4 endgame.
Their opponent is AE who still maintains the original lineup.
"What are the chances of team A winning?"
The battlefield was divided by smoke bombs, and Team A used more close-range attacks to engage CTs.
It's just that they wanted to play slowly, but AE didn't have such a good temper and let them play so comfortably. They lost 5 points in a row, and they were already very unhappy.
In this round, AE did exactly what he expected. They started in a 3B2A position. The speed increase led by gla1ve directly caused them to start a wave of 5-on-2 local firefights.
After a wave of stimulating firefights, although Lucky in the big pit played bravely and replaced two and a half players, the rest of AE also seized the opportunity and turned the endgame into a 1V1 bullfight.
Different round, same script. Xiaoju once again threw the smoke bomb under the cart. With the advantage of firearms and numbers, the firefight in Area A went smoothly.
AE scored three consecutive points, further widening the point difference.
Although they regained a lot of ground in the long spear round, AE was not allowed to score consecutively.
The scores between the two sides were spiraling upward, and the situation gradually became more intense. Only the defeat in the first half prevented them from completing their comeback.
The final score was fixed at 10:16. Team A was 6 points behind and lost the picture.
