Xiaojiao returned to the hotel room with snacks, and happened to meet kennyS and his group who had just returned from dinner. After entering the room, they asked each other about today's itinerary and chatted about what happened in the afternoon.
Up to now, the IEM Imperial City group stage competition has officially ended, but not everyone has the time and time to follow the full live broadcast. It is temporarily impossible to let everyone know the results after the game. IEM Imperial City
It is indeed a good event, but it did not go offline in the group stage. Although the popularity is high, it is still limited.
Unlike Team A, FG in Group B did not enter the hard mode. They easily qualified for the group stage, instead of fighting hard, playing in a dark manner, and even qualifying for promotion in the last game.
kennyS's outing today was more about being a host and taking these French teammates to eat some special delicacies.
He had no choice but to go. He had stayed at VC for nearly two years and was already a half-local. Unlike other people who had language communication problems, he was hesitant to communicate with passers-by when he went out.
This also led to kennyS becoming the star of the team as soon as he arrived in China.
kennyS stretched, turned on the computer, and asked seemingly casually: "What's going on in today's game?"
"The fight was quite intense. Team A played the whole game. In the end, Broky and Electronic Brother broke out and won the game... But to be honest, it's not that their level has declined. IMO, they played very well.
800K, he got 91 kills in three maps and still lost, you can imagine."
VOVO smiled and raised his eyebrows: "An average of 30 kills per map, how can you still lose?"
"Don't underestimate me IMO, their marksmanship is very fierce." Xiaojiao said with a slight exaggeration, "MUWO and I were watching the game in the rest area, so we didn't hear any discussion.
It can be quite intense.”
"MUWO?GG They haven't gone back yet?"
"Haha, I'm GG every day."
Everyone in FG started chatting again. Most French people are always romantic and optimistic in character. Especially since the outcome of this game has nothing to do with them, they have no psychological burden.
Listening to the noise of his teammates, kennyS opened the gun training map and started warm-up training.
"Go ahead, all the members of Team A are crazy. Isn't this bullying an honest person?" VOVO looked at the last few rounds of BO3 and Team A's successive endgame performances, which IMO made everyone helplessly hold their heads in front of the camera.
"Kenny, it seems your old club is also very strong!" Pepper joked.
kennyS didn't answer, he just smiled, carefully aimed at the BOTs on the screen, and killed them one by one.
Everyone is accustomed to this scene, but in this atmosphere, a few people turned on their computers and started training.
This scene made Frank, who was not far away, nod happily. The joining of kennyS not only means an improvement in FG's combat power, he also drives the training atmosphere of the entire FG team.
Although kennyS did not actively ask for it, the power of example is powerful. As a very distinctive sniper and a star player, kennyS trains hard every day. How could others just sit there and watch when they see it?
Over time, FG's entire training attitude has undergone drastic changes, and the players' strength has obviously improved.
But today kennyS was not as serious as they thought. During the gun practice session, he missed many shots with his sniper shots, and he also made some mistakes in the rifle practice.
After practicing for a while, the effect was not very good. He put down the mouse, opened the window and looked into the distance.
kennyS looked at the distant scenery with a complicated expression on his face.
Hearing the news that Team A was successfully promoted, he was mostly happy. It was his old team and it could finally enter the offline world. How could he not be happy for gla1ve and others?
He has been in that team for two years and is extremely familiar with all the players in that team. The players are like friends, and the young coach is like an elder. Everyone is working hard for a common goal, which he likes very much.
of.
But on the other hand, a strong team and a comfortable environment made it difficult for him to improve his own strength. When he first entered VC, his strength was only about 50-50 with S1mple, and he was even a little ahead, but what happened after that?
His performance in the game was no longer as good as S1mple's, and he could feel his energy slowly disappearing. Leaving Team A was a last resort, but he wanted to see his peak moments.
He knew the coach's preference for him, and he chose to leave when Zaiwu emerged. He knew Zaiwu was very strong, but he didn't know that Zaiwu would be that strong.
So his mood at the moment is very complicated, and the next offline competition is coming.
He is looking forward to meeting with Team A and letting the coach see that he has not slacked off during this period.
On the other hand, he was a little worried about colliding with Team A.
Alas... humans are always complicated animals.
…
In the early morning, white mist filled the imperial capital, and bright sunshine shone among the high-rise buildings.
When he woke up, Meng De stretched his waist, got up and moved for a while. He felt refreshed and his tired spirit had recovered a lot. The group stage ended with difficulty, and he finally got the qualification to advance.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
There are still two days left before the knockout round of IEM Imperial City, which is the offline stage. Although Team A has some filming and other activities in these two days, it can be regarded as a rare rest in the busy schedule.
Mengde basically has no work schedule today, he just needs to find time to summarize the heat maps of other teams in the group stage.
After a rare sleep, Meng De did not go out to exercise. He was about to go out to have breakfast when he heard Broky shouting in a daze from the side: "Coach, are you going to have breakfast? Wait for me, I'm going too."
."
Meng De turned his head and found that Broky had sat up from the bed at some point.
"Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Have enough sleep." Broky shook his head in confusion on the bed.
Meng De also had to marvel at the terrifying energy of the young man. He knew very well the schedule of Broky, a night owl, who basically didn't fall asleep until after two o'clock every day... Well, in a way, Broky was also very self-disciplined.
"You guys are going to have a big dinner? I'm going too."
"I am coming too."
"Can you help me bring one?"
"Ah Dian, don't sleep, get up."
Broky launched a hundred responses, and everyone in Team A woke up from their sleep.
"Then everyone, get up. We just don't have any activities today. Let's go out and play together. I can take you to climb the Great Wall later." Meng De said with a bad smile on his face, "I will take you to eat the special delicacies of the imperial capital later.
, everyone who has eaten it says it’s good.”
"Okay! Coach's treat!"
"What the hell?"
The room was noisy again, and Meng De didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to treat him.
It's just a breakfast, it doesn't matter if you invite him or not.
The team members were getting dressed and washing up one by one, and Meng De was sitting on the gaming chair nearby and scrolling through his cell phone.
After yesterday's group stage ended, IEM Imperial City Station officially entered the knockout stage, with a total of eight teams remaining.
Meng De habitually started surfing the Internet, wanting to see what water friends in the forum thought of the upcoming competition.
What surprised him was that the audience gave a high evaluation to yesterday's game.
On the one hand, Team A was overjoyed to be successfully promoted, and many VC supporters were delighted in the forum.
But again, most CSGO fans can't hate this Internet cafe team IMO. After all, this team is too inspiring.
He is just like the original VC, rising from humble beginnings and persisting step by step until now.
And IMO, this style of likes to fight with guns and guns happens to hit the G-spot of the Chinese people. They gained tens of thousands of followers on Twitter overnight.
There are still quite a lot of discussions on the results of this game in the forum.
[This BO3 fight is really thrilling. It’s not easy to let one chase two.]
[Seriously, there are so many famous scenes in this game, Ah Dian spun twice]
[Sha Ershang Electronic Brother makes me happy when he spins it]
[One thing to say, if it weren't for Electronic Brother and Broky's continuous performance in the third picture, I feel that IMO would have really advanced]
[800K is so powerful, 91 kills in three maps, average rating 1.3, this loss is really undeserved]
[I'm going to jail, what can I do? IMO he's the only one in C, he can't win with a single core]
[It's a pity that this game is full of meat both pros and cons. I hope Team A will advance, but IMO IMO counterattack]
[There is no way, Group A death group, GOD is too strong, isn’t GG strong enough? Did it get crushed differently? 】
This is true. The eight remaining teams in the offline competition are not necessarily much better than the teams that have been eliminated. Even if they fight head-on, they may lose.
Just like GG and IMO, their strength can be used in offline games.
The newly promoted dark horse TG from Group B, BIKG from the CIS, and even AO may not be as strong as them.
But the competition in Group A is too fierce. GG, GOD, and Team A are forced to meet together, which means that some strong teams must be eliminated.
This is why it is said that sometimes luck is also a part of strength.
In the knockout stage of IEM Imperial City Station, in addition to them, the other domestic teams include AO, dark horse TG, BIKG, GOD, AE, FG, and OCO.
After seeing FG, Meng De paused for a moment.
Because of kennyS's existence, he is still paying close attention to this team, but he doesn't know if he will meet them offline this time.
Meng De was still thinking, but Electronic Brother and others had already packed themselves up.
gla1ve looked at the other people in the room and reported to Meng De: "The coach is almost here, let's go out."
Meng De also got up and started to lead them downstairs.
"Coach, where should we go for breakfast? I'll navigate it." Perhaps because of his personality, gla1ve will plan his next trip even when he goes out.
Meng De shook his head: "No need for navigation, just go to the alley and find a breakfast restaurant with many people."
"Is this possible? Or find one with a higher rating."
Broky added next to him: "You don't understand, having more people is the last word."
gla1ve was hesitant to speak and did not go on to say anything further. However, he remembered that Coach once took them to have breakfast in Wudu, and it took him 2 hours to find a breakfast restaurant.
Meng De did not disappoint him in the end. Within a few minutes of walking, they found a breakfast shop in an alley. They immediately queued in and out. There was a lot of traffic, and many of them were students packing their food for the road.
After entering the store, it took a while before Meng De and others saw a seat come out and quickly went over to occupy it.
After they were seated one after another, the cook, Broccoli, couldn't help but ask: "Coach, you said before that you would take us to eat the special delicacies of the imperial capital. What are you going to eat? These are steamed buns and fried dough sticks, similar to what we had in Hangzhou.
."
This breakfast shop is very ordinary. Except for the owner who speaks with an imperial accent, it is no different from what they do in Hangzhou.
They observed the store for a long time, but did not see the special delicacies of the Imperial Capital mentioned by Meng De.
Meng De had originally forgotten this incident, but when he heard them mention it again, he was not going to be polite.
"Okay, since you want to eat, coach, I'll order it for you, but as you promised, you'll finish it later."
After that, Meng De shouted to the boss not far away: "Boss, here are three more bowls of bean juice."
"Okay, three bowls of bean juice~"
Broky originally had a smile on his face, but when Meng De called out the name of this special delicacy, his expression changed instantly.
He turned to look at Meng De, he didn't expect you to be so evil-minded!
However, I like it!
Meng De stopped smiling, but the smile moved to Broky's face.
As a top player in Internet surfing, he understood the power of this thing from short videos.
Xiaoju and DD on the side also knew the coach's bad intentions, and they were winking and waiting to watch the show.
"Soy juice, is it the same drink as soy milk?" gla1ve looked at the bowl of soup brought over and asked curiously.
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
gla1ve held the bean juice and sniffed it with his nose curiously. The stench suddenly broke into his nasal cavity, and it felt like something went rancid.
The smell was so disgusting that gla1ve instantly lost the desire to try it, and his whole face showed resistance.
"Does this really taste good?"
Seeing this scene, Broky swallowed his saliva and raised a bowl of bean juice to his mouth.
"Instigation~"
A small mouthful of bean juice entered Broky's mouth, and gla1ve, Electronic Brother and others observed his expression very carefully.
But Broky's brows stretched, as if he had drunk some delicious food.
Broky raised his thumb and said, "Coach, this stuff tastes great. It's like stinky tofu. It smells bad but tastes good when you drink it."
Several old DJs sitting next to me were surprised when they heard this. As locals, although they were already familiar with the taste of bean juice, they would never say that this stuff tastes too good.
They didn't know for a moment whether their sense of taste was wrong or whether this little foreigner was just talking nonsense.
Looking at Broky's movements, gla1ve couldn't help but be tempted. In fact, Xiaoju and DD were a little strange too. Could it be that the people in the short video were talking nonsense and the soy juice was not as bad as they imagined.
Under the gaze of everyone, gla1ve picked up the bean juice and took a sip, imagining what the bean juice tasted like.
But the next second!
gla1ve's face was ferocious, and the mask of pain was directly put on.
It tastes like a bowl of soy milk mixed with gastric acid refluxed into your mouth. This taste is definitely not good.
gla1ve spit him out in an instant. He looked at Broky in confusion, wondering why the broccoli tasted so fragrant. Could it be that there was something wrong with his sense of taste?
But from this look, what is his problem?
Broky also put on a mask of pain. It was this guy who used his body as bait just to deceive him!
