In GG's lounge, VC watched without any pressure and easily defeated VC 2-0.
MUWO's eyes were a little dull. He wanted to find the answer from his teammates, but found that the room seemed to be copied and pasted, and everyone had the same expression.
"Should we be so exaggerated that the semi-finals were so easy?"
Xiao Hei recovered from his exclamation and continued: "VC's condition is much better than expected. This fight is really difficult."
The new conductor HDke on the side was a little confused and said: "What happened? Did I play less games? How come we seem to have qualified for the finals?"
"..."
HDke's words instantly brought everyone in GG from hallucination to cold reality.
"You guys, can't you let us dream?" MUWO rolled his eyes at HDke and couldn't help but miss Jiya.
But just thinking about it, judging from the current results, HDke and them are still in a honeymoon period. Throughout IEM Cologne, GG's performance is quite amazing.
This is why you can dare to dream before you get the qualifications, because you have some confidence in your heart.
After fantasizing, they lost any confidence.
You can count the number of times VC and Samba have played against each other on your fingers. GG has played against both teams quite a lot.
If VC can play samba in the semi-finals so well that it has no temper, does that mean samba is weak?
No. Judging from MUWO’s past experience, the strength of samba is considered to be among the best among the first-line players.
In terms of results, they have successfully entered the Major championship stage several times, and their results are there.
Let’s talk about specific performance. In recent games, GG’s winning rate against Samba was less than 40%.
If netizens knew this data, they would have typed it in the forum by now:
VC>SG>GG
Although this equation is not necessarily correct, after watching this BO3, MUWO still has no idea about VC's amazing state.
If they can really defeat AE and enter the finals, there may not be any good way to win VC.
Turning his head and seeing HDke's thoughtful look, MUWO couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking." HDke said with a sincere expression, "How did we reach the semi-finals? VC looked like a big devil. He was about to beat AE but had no clue. How did we reach the semi-finals?
What’s the point?”
MUWO looked at HDke with a horrified look on his face, "This is heartbreaking! How could your 37-degree mouth say such cold words?"
Before the game against AE even started, MUWO was already beaten by his teammates to the point where he was about to "break his heart".
…
After qualifying for the finals, VC celebrated with a simple high-five and then came to the opposite side of the stage to shake hands with the samba dancers after the game.
The moment Panda saw Wang Yuning, he stepped forward and said in stumbling English: "Your tactics were so good in the first half. I was lucky today to feel the pressure brought by the championship team on us."
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and the other party's praise made Wang Yuning smile: "You also played very well. The few times you suddenly came out to seize opportunities, I was really confused."
Panda shook her head, pointed at Dank and said, "That's his own idea and has nothing to do with me."
"It doesn't matter. In the nuclear round, you should have made arrangements as soon as you got the information. That arrangement would be great, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make a comeback by himself." Lao Wang patted Panda on the shoulder.
, "Don't belittle yourself, you have to have confidence in yourself."
He remembered Panda, who had just debuted during their time, but now has become the final cornerstone of Brazilian CSGO, and he felt a lot about it.
The two sides exchanged a few more greetings, and Meng De led the team back to his team's battle room, packed up his peripherals, and started to leave.
After entering the lounge, Meng De sat down on the sofa and felt relieved.
Although VC's state before the game has been pretty good, Mengde's previous focus has always been on the second team, while the first team is in a state of free rein. In addition, S1mple and NIKO are a little lazy, so it is inevitable to pretend to worry about the final victory.
The effect is not good.
What's more, the recent samba performance is remarkable even if taken alone, so before the start of this competition, Mengde still made a lot of preparations.
As a result, after entering the game, perhaps due to style issues, the two teams that played more proactively exchanged fire more frequently. This made personal ability play a greater role in the game. In these two maps, except in the second half of the first and second half of the map
attack, and the rest basically crushed Samba by relying on personal abilities.
The final result was much smoother than Mengde imagined.
Picking up the remote control at hand, Meng De turned on the TV in the lounge and watched the game between GG and AE while the director was still outside conducting interviews.
The two sides have just entered the stadium and the game is still in the preparation stage.
Before the game started, Meng De said a few words briefly.
"Everyone played very well today, especially the little devil and the director's handling of the game was very eye-catching and worthy of praise."
The director was not there, but Xiao Gui smiled with satisfaction when he heard that. Although some of today's rounds were very bold, he believed that most of the situations were handled correctly, and he maintained a more rational thinking in normal games.
Extremely valuable.
"You're having a good time today." The kid winked at S1mple who was standing beside him.
"How can something in a professional competition be called a gangster?" S1mple pretended to be angry, but in fact he was already happy.
He once felt the powerlessness of carrying alone and lost the game. His desire for victory was far higher than the requirements for data.
For him, now he just hopes that the whole team can win.
For this reason, he has gradually reduced his consumption of resources. In most cases, he will actively cooperate with the team's tactics to fight, and even the big snipers have become rare.
He also took the initiative to do some dirty work and was willing to help the team solve problems.
"But I still hope that you, S1mple, can perform better." Meng De said, "You are far from reaching your upper limit. Don't let a good environment limit yourself."
"Yes, I understand." Faced with the coach's instructions, S1mple did not retort. In fact, he also understood that he had been slacking off recently and his overall condition had declined slightly.
This is a fact and there is no way to refute it.
Although it is not difficult to win the game, if his condition is better, it will be easier to win.
After Wang Yuning ate for a while, he took the initiative to talk about his feelings about today's game: "Coach, do you still remember the play style you proposed in the second half of the pistol round?"
Meng De thought for a moment, and then said: "Is that the one where you control the iron plate first, and then split up to look for opportunities?"
"Well, that's that tactic." Wang Yuning mused, "I feel like we can expand on that tactic, and maybe even make it a main play style in our default system."
"How do you say that?" Meng De also perked up after hearing what he said so seriously.
"Brother Qiang, give me your service map."
"Here, it's all here."
Wang Yuning took over the map from Wu Qiang, because VC often needs some review after the game. Sometimes it needs to be reviewed in the video, and sometimes it needs to make some new articles on tactics.
Lao Wang first found the map of the nuclear crisis. He picked up a few bottle caps from the side and treated them as if they were in the game: "Let me review the round first. We gathered together first to control the iron plate.
."
"Then we will attack from three angles: the entrance of area B, the third floor, and the gang hall. This way, real and fake attacks can be carried out together, which can greatly obscure our offensive intentions."
This round they attacked from three angles, two from the bright side and one from the dark side.
The bright side angle forces the opponent to keep someone to delay, but the dark side angle can give the opponent a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Their tactical thinking at that time was not that complicated. It was purely because of S1mple's suggestion that they gained such a dark side angle.
After the game, Wang Yuning felt relieved when he remembered how Samba was unable to judge their true intentions in the pistol round and was difficult to make decisions and impatient.
It's fun to crush the opponent with marksmanship, but to play around with the opponent tactically is a different kind of pleasure.
"So, can we use this 311 style of play regularly in the future?"
"One of the two runners is pretending to play, and the other is trying to seize the opportunity to sneak back? I personally feel that this kind of play will make it difficult for the opponent to understand our offensive intentions, and the person hiding in the shadows, as long as we help
He can seduce and create good opportunities."
It is definitely a good thing to have new ideas. Everyone in the lounge began to think deeply.
"The tactics are good, but the premise is that they need to be carried out on specific maps such as nuclear, amusement parks, and trains." Meng De had a vicious eye and quickly found out the limitations of this tactic.
"Just like in a small town, if you go to 311, it will actually directly become 32. For a map with a relatively simple map structure, this default tactic will basically not work. For example, if we want to play 32 and B, the people on your third floor will
If you take action, the person in the middle who wants to go to the arch will be basically exposed, and it will be difficult to have a chance to rush into the arch and go around the back."
"This style of play has certain limitations, but even if you try it on a few maps, it is still a good choice."
Everyone in the lounge chatted with each other, and soon the prototype of this tactical play was discussed.
After about an hour, the plan on paper was finally completed, and the rest needed to be practiced through trial and error in training matches.
Meng De stretched and turned on the TV again, and the live broadcast screen immediately appeared in front of them.
"Ah! What's going on?" NIKO rubbed his eyes, even wondering if he had seen it wrong.
What was live on TV was the IEM Cologne semi-final match between Group B GG and AE.
Picture 1 is the lost city in the desert.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 13:2, and AE was lagging behind by a full 11 points. This was an unimaginable scene.
You know, in their inner evaluation, AE's personal strength is obviously much stronger than GG, who likes to live a busy life.
But what's going on in today's game? The upset is about to begin in the first picture?
They were a little surprised, but also became interested unconsciously.
At the end of the first half, the two sides changed sides and AE came to the attacking side.
The huge point difference caused comments such as "Is 3 points enough?" to appear in the barrage.
VC and others in the lounge also agreed on most of the results of the second half. As long as AE loses the pistol round, it can basically be announced.
AE failed to win the pistol round in the second half, which made many Danish fans at the scene sigh.
They hoped in their hearts that AE could complete a comeback, but with such a huge gap, they lost confidence.
In the live broadcast room, Coke faced the doubts of the barrage audience and said confidently: "Although GG is usually more energetic, the current score is 14:2. With such a big score difference, my judgment is AE
It’s impossible to win…”
Coke glanced at the barrage and said, "A tie? If it's a tie, I'll directly roll 6,000 skins to the live broadcast room."
Taro Yuan: "Liu Qian and I don't really believe it either."
A group of people in the barrage audience added: "What if we win?"
Coke directly waved his hand: "You have to believe me, I am a professional commentator. If the Danes really win, I will give you a super double!"
After hearing this in the live broadcast room, everyone started to add:
[I will add a suite...]
[Won roll broccoli’s underwear]
[What’s the point? AE is already ruined, so just play GG as you like]
…
With the fun in the live broadcast room, everyone turned their attention to the next game.
Many domestic viewers originally planned to go to sleep directly after watching the last few minutes.
But when SAMA was most confused, he seemed to feel a mysterious Eastern power.
In the strong start, SAMA relied on a full-armor sand eagle to defeat three GG players in a row, and cooperated with Lucky's performance to successfully complete the comeback.
This score successfully boosted AE's morale, but Coke didn't take it seriously in the live broadcast room. After all, although the probability of a comeback is low, it has happened at IEM Cologne this time.
Then, in the next game, he saw that the score on the left was as stable as an old dog, while the score on the right was climbing up little by little.
14:3
…
14:6
…
14:9
…
The screen in the live broadcast room was filled with surprise, and everyone was looking forward to what might happen next.
In this situation, Coke finally couldn't maintain his inner peace.
"Why am I poisoning my milk? I made a professional judgment based on a professional perspective. I am suing you for defamation. You are defaming me!!"
He expected GG to make a powerful attack to defeat the opponent. Finally, with MUWO's astonishing three kills in the end game, they stopped their losing streak and pushed the score to 15:9.
"Let me just say, AE makes a comeback? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
However, it was too early for him to be happy.
GG's score was fixed again, and AE started their extremely fast counterattack.
10 points...13 points...15 points!
The game successfully entered overtime.
By this point, the morale of everyone in AE was already high, and the entire Lonnie Arena was in high spirits.
Everyone is cheering for AE, expecting them to complete this huge comeback.
In the end, AE did not disappoint the audience's expectations, not allowing GG to score a single point in overtime, and the score was fixed at 15:19.
