Chapter 644 The helplessness of the Internet cafe team
In the morning, I reviewed yesterday’s game against GG and summarized some effective playing methods.
In the afternoon, after a brief rest, Meng De also led his players to discuss the game strategy against IMO.
As an Internet cafe team, IMO is generally an underdog in the eyes of the audience.
Of course, this weak team is also compared to the first-line team.
Are they really weak?
Meng De didn't do much research on this team, but he knew one thing clearly. Team A now fought all the way from the loser group to the final life and death match. And IMO also fought from the loser group to this game.
The final promotion match.
Their current results in this IEM Imperial City Station are the same. From a performance perspective, there is no gap between the strength of Team A and IMO.
Therefore, regardless of whether IMO is an underdog in a broad sense, Team A will not take this game lightly. After all, this is the final qualification battle. If they can win the game, they can officially enter the offline.
Playing passionately in front of the cheers of the home fans is an indescribably wonderful feeling. They have experienced it once in Shanghai.
Whether it is for the final result or to meet the fans who support them offline, they must play this game well.
But after all, the research is not in-depth, and we can only take a look at their last two games to understand their IMO playing style.
After making their own preparations, the team's psychologist conducted a round of psychological counseling before this important game. Team A showed up and headed to the venue, ready to start today's game.
…
"Come on, come on, brothers, play hard, the most important game is today, whether you can advance or not depends on today!"
In the battle room, ChrisX, as the conductor, was the first to speak before the game started.
For them, since they qualified for the IEM Imperial City Station, their goal has been the knockout stage.
The goal is to set the knockout stage, and naturally the first thing is to get a good result.
The second and most important reason is because there is no money!
As a team that strives for love, deep down in their hearts they still want to achieve good results and become famous, so that all CSGO fans will remember their name.
But it’s hard to make a fool out of nothing. IMO is a team built purely by the king of passers-by. They have no club or sponsors behind them.
There is no external funding, not even a basic salary.
There are six people in the IMO team, one coach, five players, and even the boss is the six of them.
They lack funds and do not have professional training or venues.
Before coming to IEM Imperial City, they had been training in an Internet cafe opened by a water friend in their own country. They were a real Internet cafe team.
Although there are water friends who provide simple training venues, they are still short of funds and cannot find sponsors from outside, so they can only start with bonuses.
This time at the IEM Imperial City Station, you can already have bonuses after entering the group stage.
If they are eliminated now, they can get close to 20,000 US dollars.
Twenty thousand US dollars, apart from their visa application, consumption after flying to China, and everyone's salary to support their families, there is not much left.
But after reaching the knockout round, the result is different.
Unlike those second and third tier competitions, the prize money at IEM Imperial City is very high.
Once you enter the knockout rounds, it will be the top eight offline.
The prize money for the seventh and eighth place is US$40,000, which is double that of the group stage.
And with every subsequent step forward, the bonus basically increases exponentially, which is a great encouragement to them!
So even if they don't have to train in water friends' Internet cafes in the future, they must play this game well!
"Play hard, play hard, Team A is not a simple thing." 800K, the breakthrough player in the team, also said.
They once had a match against Team A, and their heads were smashed. The opponent's rigorous tactics and discipline gave them a headache at that time.
Fortunately, after such a long time, they have gradually become stronger.
Face to face again, I also have a certain degree of confidence in my heart.
…
"Okay, everyone is welcome to watch the last game of the lower bracket of the IEM Imperial City Group Stage. Team A plays against IMO. I am the commentator Nobita."
"I am the gangster you like."
As the live broadcast screen changes, the BP map appears at the bottom of the screen.
"IMO has the priority to ban pictures in this game. They will be the first to ban pictures, and they will ban Nuclear Crisis immediately." Nobita's slightly lazy voice sounded in the live broadcast room.
Xie Jian's voice soon followed: "Nothing unexpected happened on Team A's side. They still carried the amusement park away. They have stopped playing this map."
Xie Jian paused for a moment and expressed emotion: "To be honest, I actually hope to see Team A's amusement park. It's quite interesting to see those new skills created by Cao Thief."
[Very interesting, it refers to the prohibition of climbing]
[Wait until Cao Cao, the thief, lets you carry him to the sky without saying anything again]
[It’s really interesting. Cao Thief’s weird skills always bring surprises to people]
【……】
After the first round of banned pictures, it’s IMO’s turn to choose.
They did not hesitate and directly identified Sha Er.
IMO, they are a typical marksmanship team. On this map with frequent mid-range and long-range gun confrontations, it is easier for them to gain an advantage.
"Team A, after thinking for a long time, they still won the town. The map of town, they have a 70% winning rate in the last 30 maps, there is no reason not to choose it."
There was only the last picture left in the BO3 selection. IMO, the train was removed, and Team A took away the building, leaving only a Lost City in the Desert.
"Good guys, it seems that today's game is very familiar to the audience. Our favorite player in the national server is the third player. I just want to ask, IMO, how can we fight against Team A in this situation?"
"IMO you can only play a dozen of them during training, but our national server has a handful of them!" Xie Jian said with a grin.
Amid the jokes from the commentators, the players from both sides entered the server in Figure 1, and the game officially began.
VC.A vs IMO
Map: Scorching Sand City
T:800K,ChrisX,Fredie,Abl,JJZ
ct:electronic,gla1ve,Broky,zywoo,jamyoung
The game officially begins.
Knowing that IMO his character likes to play in groups, gla1ve chose a very safe play style in the pistol round.
"Broky puts Ah Dian on the A small team, and then you alone scout the A big team on the A platform. The A area will conduct conservative reconnaissance, and the whole team will defend around the middle."
"The load is near door B. Please read the message before moving."
This kind of team that likes to play together is very likely to be promoted quickly in the pistol round.
If they are grouped together and hit a wave, once the first wave does not get too many kills, then Sha Er's return to defense in area B will make them understand what a nightmare is.
In contrast, the difficulty of returning to defense in Area A is not that great. Even if it is lost for a while, the success rate is not low by relying on the team to return to defense.
Ah Dian was immediately put on the A cell, and a smoke bomb flew from the direction of the gangsters and landed on the Xbox box.
"I lost X boxes of cigarettes."
gla1ve raised his gun and kept shooting at A's small crossing point, making some threatening movements. If the bandit wanted to cross the point quickly, he could relieve a lot of pressure on Electronic Brother.
Ah Dian, a small boy in A, was hiding on the edge of the smoke. He waited for a long time but didn't see anyone. He realized that something might be wrong and immediately concluded: "Pay attention to B2, there is no movement in the middle."
After hearing this judgment, Zaiwu walked directly into the white car with the usp in hand, and soon heard footsteps coming from the B2 floor.
"B2 has footsteps, there must be someone there."
Less than two seconds later, a smoke bomb flew out from the B2 floor. Xiao Ju, who was standing at the bunker, kept turning around to take a preview.
The moment he saw the bandit on the B2 floor, he shot him.
"Snapped!"
[VC.A jamyoung used usp to kill IMO.JJZ with a headshot]
"Xiaoju knocked down first. When gla1ve on the sand saw the exchange of fire in area B, he quickly made up for the defense. Now it is 3B's heavy defense."
"The setback at the front point did not make IMO give up the attack. They deployed the second set of props, set fire to the sniper position, added two fake door flashes, and started charging directly!"
When he heard that items started to explode in the bag point, gla1ve was not idle: "I'm going to throw it into the dog hole, so please pay attention to your back when carrying the items!"
After saying that, he immediately started to throw out the flashlight, and Zaiwu quickly turned his head to face the wall.
A flash of light exploded, and Xiao Ju pulled out from behind the pillar. He saw two white bandits walking back from the entrance of B. He chased them with two shots, but missed.
However, Xiao Ju would not think that the other party had all retreated, because he had just clearly heard footsteps in the big box area.
After gla1ve passed by, he came directly in the smoke, but he didn't see any enemies at the first time, and he was a little surprised for a while.
"Everyone has withdrawn?"
Hearing gla1ve's words, Xiaoju quickly shouted: "There are people in Dahxi and Btong, pay attention to Dahxi!"
If gla1ve didn't pay attention this time, he would probably give one away for free.
After hearing Xiaoju's message, gla1ve and Zaiwu quickly aimed their sights at the big box.
"Zhaowu found an angle and opened fire. One headshot, two headshots, and all the people in the big box were killed by him!"
"Xiao Ju is also trying hard to find B-Tong to fight against, and prevent them from coming out to put pressure on his teammates. Xiao Ju kills another target, Able rushes out and kills gla1ve with one shot, and the load is still hidden in the white car. His teammates' reply
The defense is also in place, a 3-on-1 endgame."
"Abl didn't even need to take action. Zaiwu shot Abl sideways and carried him away."
Nobita concluded: "This wave of Team A is in Area B which is heavily defended. They never expected that Area B would directly fail with a wave of explosive bombs."
…
"I didn't see anyone when I went in, and I was immediately ignored when I met." gla1ve complained with a smile.
Zaiwu shook his head: "The key to that flash bomb is that it's really easy to dodge, otherwise they'll be in charge formation."
"Indeed." Xiao Ju nodded in agreement, "Maybe your flash should have turned them all white. The formation on the opposite side was directly divided. If it weren't for your flash, I would probably be ridden in the face by the flying dragon."
Listening to the compliments from his teammates, gla1ve’s face lit up with joy.
What do CSGO prop players like most? Apart from grenades and incendiary bombs that kill people directly, isn’t the rest that flash plays a big role?
Although there are no good allies in this wave, one flash can kill all teammates directly.
But he succeeded in causing the opposing lineup to disintegrate.
…
"It's a pity that the opponent who heavily defends B has never been able to play normally." ChrisX comforted his teammates and said.
No one else was surprised. If Team A couldn't hold on to the heavily defended Zone B, it meant that their opponent today was either in bad shape or just showing off.
"How do you say this point? Do you want to directly force it?" Able asked, "or just pure E?"
He failed to put down mine packs in the last round, and only got two kills. His personal idea was to focus on strong attacks.
After all, on this hard-gun map, pure E only has an economy of just over 4,000 in the next round. After buying a full-armor AK, there will be nothing left.
ChrisX thought for a while and finally made a decision: "Get up..."
Upon hearing this, the team members clicked on the menu one after another and prepared to start purchasing firearms.
"But not all..."
Seeing that the mouse pointer had been placed on the full armor, Abl turned his head and said helplessly: "Brother, don't be so panting next time, okay? I almost spent it."
"I'm still thinking about it." Chris
"If your sniper finds an opportunity in the middle, we can find a way to force a replacement on the opposite side, and then make other plans after getting the gun."
"If we can't find an opportunity, we'll try to advance to Small A and find a way to put down the mine bag."
As long as they put down the mine packs, they can use all their weapons and ammunition in the next round, crushing the CT economically.
At the beginning of the round, Abl and his teammates had a double fight in the secret passage, and successfully caught the sniper gla1ve off guard, knocking gla1ve to a low level of health.
Seeing the damage caused by the bird sniper, ChrisX raised his eyebrows and thought about the possibility of speeding up and attacking the middle.
But after gla1ve was hit by a shot, he immediately let go of the sand and chose to retreat to the dog hole to watch the sand without giving them any kills.
Team A knew that the opponent was getting stronger, so they played more cautiously. They didn't go out of their way to straighten their gun positions, which was just too much.
"Five bandits have gathered in Small A. Chirs
ah!"
Two people flew out of the field of vision. Ah Dian quickly positioned himself with the M4 and forcibly caught one of them in the air.
But when he fired at the second one, he was hit in the head, and then a flash grenade exploded, killing him completely.
Brother Electronic did not hesitate and retreated directly.
A's small bomb attack and the pressure on A Dian caused Broky to rush over to help.
"Brother Electronics threw a grenade into the second box. The grenade caused tons of damage, but it didn't kill anyone."
"In this way, IMO, the goal has been achieved. They just want to land a bomb this round. Without subsequent damaging items, this mine bag cannot stop them."
"The mine bag was put down, A's gun line was also spread out, Ah Dian collected one, the loader collected one, and gla1ve jumped back to defend and destroyed one."
"Zaiwu is holding the MP9 and still outputting it. Oh, this is for a submachine gun." Nobita sighed.
Xie Jian continued: "This guy's MP9 is used as an M4. He keeps shooting from a distance and in short bursts. His shots are quite accurate."
"Although the minefield was dropped, the good news is that no one was dropped. I have two long guns and a bird sniper in my hand. I don't even need to change firearms in the next round. I can slowly build up my economy."
…
