"Picture 2 is over. Team A did not produce an ideal picture in this strong picture of theirs." Taro Yuan's slightly low voice sounded again in the stadium.
Coke adjusted his tone to comfort the emotions of the audience: "At this moment, we have to admit that God has prepared a lot for this final. Although the offensive end of Team A in the small town performed well, the score obtained on the defensive end
There are really too few of them, and Zaiwu and others are a bit invisible."
"It can't go on like this..."
Listening to the commentator's various post-match analyses, Li Tu stared blankly at the screen, and then sighed after a long time.
"Isn't the gap a little too big?"
"The strongest town of Purgatory has been taken care of. It won't be taken away 3-0 today."
Many fans of Team A in the stands were sighing. The defeat of Team A in two consecutive games had slightly cooled their enthusiasm, and great pessimism filled their hearts.
Many supporters of Team A verbally cheered for Team A, saying that Team A would definitely come back, but they still didn't believe it in their hearts.
The level difference shown in the first two maps was so big that they didn't dare to have extravagant expectations.
"There is a gap, but it's not as big as you think."
As an active professional player, kennys is qualified to say this.
"It's already 2-0, isn't the gap big?" Li Tu looked at Kennys with a puzzled look, "Even if Team A's timing is very poor today, they always fail in their bets, isn't this part of their strength?
?The 'luck of the strong' was not on Team A's side today."
Things like luck are generally considered to be a type of strength nowadays. Just like Electronic Brother, he is always so unlucky, and his strength is so strong when he is unlucky, so the audience will always look forward to being Electronic Brother
What will happen when he is not unlucky? But being unlucky is the norm for Electronic Brother, and it is also an important part of his strength.
kennys explained: "If the timing is not good and this thing appears a few times, it may be a matter of luck. But God's timing was too good today, and those tactical attacks are too coincidental."
Team A was very unlucky in today's game. Various timings were missed, bets frequently failed, and God always caught the weak points in defense.
Li Tu looked at the excited God crowd on the right side of the stage and seemed to understand something.
"Is it preparation before the game?"
"Hmm." Kennys bared his teeth and complained: "God is really not a human being. He studied this map too carefully. Are they so idle?"
As a former member of Team A, he clearly knows how complex Team A's system is and how many offensive and defensive tactics there are.
But judging from today’s game, at least on the two maps of Nuclear Crisis and Purgatory Town, God conducted in-depth research.
"Doesn't that mean we're going to lose 3-0 today?" Kennys' words made Li Tu panic. As a die-hard fan of Team A, he didn't want to see that happen.
And not to mention anything else, having your head shaved during a home game is hard to accept.
He didn't want to see that happen, and neither did the vast majority of people at the scene.
Li Tu's words made kennys feel a little nervous, but he soon calmed down and analyzed calmly: "gla1ve's performance in this iem is not too impressive. At least before the knockout round begins, their path to promotion will be difficult."
It’s been a stumbling block. After entering the knockout rounds, if it weren’t for the advantage of playing at home, the support rate for Team A on the Internet would not even exceed that of FG, and no one is very optimistic about Team A.”
"Because their record is not good. Although this guy Zaiwu has a strong presence on the data list, it has always been difficult for them to advance." Li Tu expressed his thoughts.
"That's right." Kennys said, "Since you, as a fan of Team A, don't think Team A can perform well in the following games, then as God, who is the favorite to win the championship and has been chasing the championship from the beginning, you say
Did they study the A team in advance?"
"Of course not."
"So, even if they studied Team A, they were in a very short time." Kennys looked at Meng De who was a little angry on the stage and smiled, "I guess God's preparations have been almost used up, and it's time to take the next turn
It’s Team A’s turn.”
…
IEM Imperial City finals stage, left side of the battle room.
All members of Team A fell into silence. If they could still treat the failure in Picture 1 with a normal attitude, then the failure in Picture 2 made them completely shattered.
Except for the occasional communication between on-site referees, there was no other sound in the room, so the players lowered their heads and remained silent.
Even the sighs disappeared.
Before the start of the game, the cheers from the audience made them feel as if they were in the clouds. They were greedy for the advantage of playing at home. Everyone's emotions were ignited by the enthusiasm of the audience and they were looking forward to achieving a good result in this final.
But now?
The pressure of two consecutive god maps directly knocked their mood from the clouds to the bottom.
Picture 2 finally gained the advantage in the first half. They thought this was the beginning of a counterattack. Looking back now, it was more like a flashback before death.
If it were not because the final of the iem series was a bo5, but an ordinary bo3, then they could already prepare for the handshake session. How could this keep him from getting discouraged?
The quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time, until a voice came from behind: "Everyone, are you ready to be an ostrich?"
The familiar voice made everyone slowly take action, raising their heads one by one and looking at their coach.
Mengde has never been a coach who is good at comforting his players. Compared to comforting, his words are sometimes harsher and more truthful.
After playing the two maps, he clearly saw some of God's targeted actions in the game, making it increasingly difficult for them to play in the game.
This was expected by Meng De, but it was also somewhat unexpected.
It is expected that god will take action, just like they will also conduct a lot of research on god before the game.
But what is unexpected is that in the first two maps, God's targeting was very deep and not just superficial.
This is also an important reason why they were defeated in the first two maps.
But now Meng De will not comfort them with this kind of excuse, because...
"We have already lost the first two maps. If you want to be taken away by a wave of shaved heads, and you can't win even a single map in our own home court, then put your head under the table!"
The sudden outburst of the coach of Team A startled the referee in the competition room. Looking at the players biting their lips and biting their hands and the angry and scolding coach, he suddenly pictured a teacher training students.
Ignoring the referee's strange look, Mengde continued: "I have always said that as long as the game is not over, you should never give up."
"What's the situation now? We only lost two maps and the bo5 game is over? Or should we not fight on map three and directly surrender to the opponent?"
While scolding, Meng De observed the expressions of the team members and noticed that their faces changed slightly, even a little unconvinced, and he nodded secretly in his mind.
After losing two maps in a row, if they can still maintain high fighting spirit, then Team A is no longer human.
Frustration will always spread. As a coach, Meng De has to stop this emotion from happening and inspire their fighting spirit.
He used a very common method of provoking the generals, but it was very effective against these competitive professional players.
"So can anyone tell me if I can play in the next game!!"
"able!!!!"
Angry and unwilling roars rang out in the battle room.
"I'll give you one minute to adjust. After one minute, I want to see you get rid of the negative emotions you had before. Even if you are just pretending, you have to pretend it for me!"
After hearing this, everyone in Team A quickly took a deep breath to calm down their excitement.
There is not much time left for the halftime break. They have to seize the time and perform better in the game in Figure 3.
A minute later, Meng De's tone was no longer so angry, and even somewhat calm: "In the first two maps, I think you can see that God's targeted tactics make you all feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Ju nodded quickly when he heard this. In the game in Figure 3, he was completely defeated by the group and the individual.
"Actually, our pre-game practice and preparations are enough. Now we need to be more flexible on the spot and have some fantastic ideas. If we can make large-scale changes to our previous tactics and defensive system, then we will
It should not be successfully targeted by god... But I think you also know that this is completely impossible. We have spent so much energy and so much time on training, if I can just rely on my words now
If it changes, then wouldn’t our training be in vain?”
Meng De looked at the players and continued: "In this situation, there is not much we can do. First, you should think more. Your offense in Purgatory Town was very good just now. God can't cope with it at all. And the defense
If you are right..."
"gla1ve, you can make the whole team play more proactively! We have lost two maps, so no matter how bold you are, we need some imagination..."
The coach's words made them feel very uncomfortable.
They were not convinced by the previous scolding. After all, they didn't want to lose two maps, and they worked very hard.
But now it seems that the coach just wants to win.
"According to the coach's arrangement, we will play more proactively in certain rounds, directly tearing the situation apart so that God cannot target us." gla1ve started to arrange the tactics, "Let's single A in the pistol round, you are alone.
People are playing in Area A."
"Everyone else followed me to B. Xiaoju immediately started a double fight with me, while Broky and DD went to find trouble at the construction site."
…
"Okay, welcome everyone to watch the death amusement park in Figure 3 against God. I am the commentator for this game."
"I am Taro Yuan."
After making an opening statement as usual, Coke began to analyze the situation: "It's already 0-2. Team A is under a lot of pressure. I wonder if they have adjusted back now?"
Taro Yuan focused on the pistol game: "God's gangster fired first, two cigarettes, one fire, and one flash. Judging from the position, he was preparing to hit a wave of flow."
"And Team A happens to have a 4B heavy defense, and this wave of needles is against the wheat!"
A flash exploded at the construction site, and Maden rushed into the construction site with the blue horse knights. No one was seen at first, and they continued to advance towards the sandbags.
As soon as he got the sandbag vision, he found that there were already two CTs defending this corner. Maden reported information to his teammates while trying hard to aim and engage in firefights.
His speed was too fast, making it impossible for the slightly cautious blue horse knight to replenish his shot in time.
Manden was forced to face a 1v2 local firefight. He only fired three shots and was killed by one bullet.
The knight on the blue horse pulled out to replenish his gun, but was also stunned by the enchanting movement of DD who was closer.
Watching two teammates die suddenly in the construction site, I threw the flash ras and entered the construction site, intending to beat the enemy with low health.
But as soon as he entered the construction site, he noticed the sound of gunshots from the front left. He looked up and saw the CT in the double frame.
When gla1ve saw that he couldn't defeat the opponent at the first time, he immediately retreated and shouted: "dd, the broccoli is going to the long tube, Xiao Ju throws the long tube and dodges to clear it!"
No one questioned the conductor's idea, and the three people who were called completed their actions instantly.
bthe1 and p1edge were originally planning to cooperate with their teammates to play on the flanks this round, but their marksmanship at the construction site failed, so p could only stay quiet and look for opportunities.
But before he could take out the long tube, a bullet flashed, causing him to lose his dream.
"Brother P was completely white by the flash, Broky killed him instantly with one shot! bthe1 exited the long tube and it was temporarily safe, but their position was still exposed, leaving them with a 2 versus 5 endgame!" Coke said this sentence
The tone is extremely cheerful, because in the first two maps, this kind of disadvantageous endgame is often reserved for Team A.
Now that he finally had a round to feel proud of, he was naturally extremely happy.
At the beginning, Team A launched a wave of combo punches, which knocked God unconscious.
Ras looked at the remaining number of people on both sides and immediately stuffed the smoke bomb into the long tube.
"Fight as you like, if you can kill one, you'll be counted as one." Ras opened the microphone and said. In this situation, he no longer expected to make a comeback, especially since the remaining two people had lost their props.
bthe1 was quite brave and kept firing at the long pipe of smoke, trying to get through the smoke and get one to kill him.
But his operation seemed to be an insult to the Danes, so 1ve killed him by passing through the smoke in the opposite direction according to the trajectory of the bullet.
Faced with this situation, Ras could only pick up the Molotov cocktail and try to find a way to be the best.
In this way, even if Team A doesn't come for him, he can still commit suicide with fire.
But soon he was locked in position by Team A. In a hurry, the incendiary bomb was still useless and was picked up by Xiao Ju.
In the pistol round, 0 for 5, Team A achieved a rare victory!
After the pistol round ended, before the next round started, Tao Yuan concluded: "Team A's score is actually very good, and the structure of area B is very top-notch. One is forward pressure at the construction site, and the other is a double frame.
Construction site.”
"After winning the marksmanship at the construction site, Broky and the two men directly looked at the long tube and cooperated with Xiaoju's flash bomb to complete a perfect coordination action. In this process, the construction site did not need to worry because they immediately
The construction site has been repulsed, and no matter how hard it is, we can still look in the direction of the sandbags from the perspective of the B1 floor."
A smile appeared on Taro Yuan's face: "Now it seems that Team A has slowly found its condition."
