As the start date of the Magic City Major gets closer, the popularity of CSGO in China continues to grow, and there are gradually more discussions in the forum.
Even recently, due to the publicity of this kind of traffic, a lot of new blood has entered the game in China, which makes the old domestic players very happy. They sincerely feel the popularity of CSGO has increased, and it also helps new players in the forum to help them in their novice stage.
A large number of players were led into the trap by the traffic. After trying it, they felt the true charm of CSGO. Most of the players stayed.
Under this circumstance, the upcoming Magic City Major is particularly eye-catching.
The audience is looking forward to the smooth hosting of the Magic City Major, but before that, qualifications for the Major must be determined first.
Both VC teams are qualified to compete in the Major Legend Group. This has once again been discussed in China. After all, this qualification does not represent face or financial resources, but the strength of the team shown in the last Major!
After confirming that two domestic teams had qualified, the RMR qualifiers attracted their attention. In addition to the recent small leagues that were held daily on the game platform, they found some teams they liked among them, and even more
I hope these teams can perform well in this RMR.
With this expectation, they set their sights on the Asian RMR that has already begun.
But on the first day of the Asian RMR, the results disappointed them.
Among the several domestic teams that qualified for the qualifiers, except for the AO team, all the other teams suffered defeats.
This result caused many people to come to Meng De's personal account to express doubts:
[Why are these domestic teams allowed to play in some kind of performance league when the Major is approaching? What are you thinking, Cao Cao?]
[Are you so afraid that other teams are better than VC? Force all their tactics and let these Indonesian and Australian teams qualify? 】
[Since winning the Major championship, Cao Cao no longer knows what he is thinking]
[My mentality has changed. At first, I only wanted to achieve results. Now that I have achieved results, I just want to make money.]
There were a lot of doubts on Meng De's account, but fortunately because of his status in the country, no keyboard warriors really criticized him.
And soon, domestic players took the initiative to stand up to support Meng De, because as the parties involved, they really knew where they had changed.
In the past, these domestic teams were in a cocoon and did not dare to play against the teams around them. They were afraid that too many matches would expose too many tactics and be studied by others.
But they have forgotten one premise: their own strength is just that, even if their tactics are not exposed, their level is still not that good.
After this month of league play, they really felt the gap in strength and the stratification of strength in the league.
The two teams VC are on the same level, AO is on the second level, RC is on another level, and behind them are less famous teams like them.
If you want to talk about what the previous teams have in common, maybe they all have a certain relationship with VC. Both AO and RC have players who came from VC.
After more than a month of league play, they have been practicing hard every day, reviewing and analyzing, and trying their best to win. With full dedication, the strength of this domestic team has naturally increased.
If they were to meet their selves a month ago now, they would be 100% sure of winning the game. A large number of games would make them exhausted, but at the same time it would also give them full confidence. At least they now know clearly.
Where is the limit of your team’s strength?
The poor results on the first day were mostly due to the fact that the tactics were studied and they were caught off guard. Later they were confident that they could win.
But after the second day, the domestic teams gradually began to exert their strength. The Australian and Mongolian teams found that after the prepared tactics were used up, they could not defeat them purely by default.
And even if you fight head-on with marksmanship, you can't beat him with marksmanship!
Who knows what these Chinese teams have been through, to suddenly become so powerful!
If Pite heard this sentence, he would definitely cry and answer: "Can it be less violent? If the gun is softer, I will be pressed to the ground and beaten."
This kind of small league, coupled with frequent competitions, actually improves players a lot.
This is like the league next door. After The shy appeared, the level of top laners in the entire division has increased by more than one quarter.
It's because an opponent who is not on the same level is beating them crazily.
For the first time, the players from China, who live broadcast live every day, feel a lot of pressure.
And because it is a competition organized by Meng De, it is really difficult for them to withdraw. Unless you don't want any reputation at all and don't plan to hang out in this circle, otherwise you have to continue playing even if you fall one every day.
After all, they are all ambitious young geniuses. After being killed like this again and again, they became heartbroken and began to practice like crazy, feeling suffocated in their hearts.
These domestic teams couldn't beat them at first, but what should they do if they can't beat them?
Watch the demo! See how the VC guys operate in the gun battle, and see how their tactics are connected.
Although you can't become fat in one bite, you can still improve a little bit.
After one week, they felt the level of support, and they became more serious when fighting later.
Finally, when entering the Asian RMR competition, they started to exert their strength!
Finally, the seven-day RMR competition ended, and a piece of news was released that shocked the entire GO circle!
The three teams that advanced to Asia RMR are: AO, LL, and Dream.
These three teams are all Chinese teams! Neither the Australian team nor the Mongolian team successfully advanced.
This result that the level of the entire competition area is far higher than that of other teams has caused heated discussions among professional players on the Internet. Those first-line teams have also set their sights on the VC coach.
They know that the results achieved by the entire Asian RMR are absolutely inseparable from this person.
His strong team leadership ability has caused many teams with money but poor performance to consider whether they can pay a high price to lure him over.
A total of five domestic teams entered the Major, and this result also shocked domestic forums.
For a while, the posts in the forum were all about the upcoming Major event, and many viewers thought it was a pity that some domestic teams were eliminated.
For example, RC performed well in the 'Preparation for Major' league, but they did not advance successfully in the RMR. Although the combination of Xigua and Sanji was experienced, they could not match their age, and their marksmanship began to decline a bit. After all, they were defeated by these young and energetic players.
Sheng's boys were defeated.
The team called Dream was actually made up of three passers-by and two professionals. They were originally at the bottom of the league, but suddenly they defeated Team A, and it was as if they had broken through.
Ren Du's second pulse, his confidence was brought out, he sat on the rocket and started to take off!
There are a total of 24 teams in the entire Major, but 5 teams belong to them. This result makes domestic CSGO fans feel like celebrating the New Year.
Mr. Liu from Ranger saw this grand occasion and even took the initiative to organize some activities to give away small toys so that players could actively participate in the grand occasion of the Major.
Under such circumstances, the Magic City Major also gradually kicked off.
Of course, while other teams have already begun the challenger group competition in full swing, Meng De's group of people can sit back and watch the battle without any trouble - because they are members of the legendary group and start the competition from the top 16.
They can watch the 16 teams in the challenger group compete with all their might.
However, they did not have too much time to spare. While the challenger group was fighting hard, the two VC teams also came to the hotel provided by the organizer of the Major in Shanghai to train.
The battle in the challenger group became more and more intense. The domestic team named Dream still failed to realize their dream. Meng De pushed them to raise the lower limit of their strength. However, tactical reserves, competition experience, and team resilience are the things that determine the upper limit. They are still
Not even close.
But this time I rushed to the Major and played against these foreign teams. I felt their different styles and knew the strength of my opponents to go all out. This was already the biggest gain.
If they can slowly realize these experiences and still keep their goals high, they may be able to find a front line in the future.
Now, they are just one of the losers.
On the last day of the challenger group, Meng De planned to take the players to relax and took the initiative to go to the Magic City Stadium to watch the game.
Today's game will determine their next opponent, and they should also pay attention to this game.
Taking the club bus to the stadium, thanks to notifying the event organizers in advance, otherwise it would be very difficult for them to go in and watch the Major today.
"The audience is so enthusiastic!" Broky straightened out his clothes that were torn a little by the fans, and at the same time, his face felt inexplicably proud.
Seeing his expression, NIKO stopped and said suspiciously: "You don't think those female fans just came towards you, do you?"
Broky returned a look, the meaning was obvious.
if not?
NIKO suppressed a smile: "When you were 130 pounds, I was willing to believe this fact, but now you are 150 pounds, and you still have a beard..."
Broky paused as he walked forward, looked down at his slightly protruding belly, and then touched his face, which was gradually getting fleshier.
It seems like I really need to lose weight?
"Hey coach!" A familiar shout came from the front of the player tunnel. The VC group heard the sound and looked over, and saw Xantres holding a large bag of things and waving to them.
"Come on, come on, brothers, eat some sausage." Broky, who was obviously thinking about losing weight just now, easily took the sausage.
"After this game, the prices around us have become more expensive."
VC has never been to the Magic City Club, and he doesn’t know the structure and distribution of the club, so he said hello to Xantares before coming, and he took the initiative to show the way.
However, this is also because Xatnres' game started two hours later, so it will not affect his game.
"Are you confident that you can win this life-and-death battle today?" Meng De handed the sausage to Broky beside him and casually picked up a topic.
Xantares looked forward, lost in thought.
"How do you say it?" Meng De asked again.
Xantares shook his head: "It's quite difficult. My teammates have been a little off the line these days, and I'm having a hard time playing."
CSGO is a team game, and each player plays a complementary role, which is much better than a single-core carry. Moreover, Xantres himself has been struggling in the last two games.
"Calm down, you guys played very well in RMR, and the overall offensive style is quite beautiful." Meng De expressed his thoughts, "Don't take the initiative to change your tactics because of changes in the opponent's strength."
"Do you know about Tian Ji's horse racing?"
Xantres nodded. He had been in China for so long, and he had heard such simple stories before.
"The competition between CSGO is the same. You have to play to your strengths instead of trying to make up for your shortcomings. You can't take the initiative to enter the rhythm of Europe. In that rhythm, you are not better than them. I understand.
"?" Meng De explained, "It's like you playing chess with S1mple. You still have a chance when you take out the rifle, but S1mple with the sniper rifle will definitely win."
Xantares rubbed his temples and thought for a long time, and finally turned around and replied: "Thank you, coach, I think I understand."
Meng De did not continue to say more, just click on this thing. If AO still plans to play closer to Europe, they will only die faster.
Several people came to AO's battle room one after another. After chatting with a group of people, they sat down and prepared to watch the next game.
Everyone checked their phones for a while, and the first game of the last day of the challenger group finally started!
The first game was a BO3 between LL and a team from the South American Division.
"They played so weirdly!" S1mple said with a frown.
The first map selected ancient ruins that had just been released. The two sides played a little immature, but it felt like there was a certain structure.
It gives people the feeling of playing well and playing poorly.
"Because their grasp of this map is not very good." Meng De saw the key to the problem, "They have learned a lot about the props that appeared on the ancient ruins in this tournament, but the problem is that they still cannot understand the game.
There is a map, so when fighting, the default is to set up the gun, fake a fight, and suddenly a wave of explosions. The tactical idea is too simple."
The other members of AO sitting next to him immediately pricked up their ears and started to steal his advice. It was because they had a lot of contact with VC that they knew how powerful the man in front of them was.
But Mengde only briefly chatted for two games. The problems in LL's game obviously went beyond that.
Players' defensive position selection and offensive connection are quite problematic. Moreover, they are always running around the map and want to return to defense in a timely manner. This is a problem of insufficient information collection.
In comparison, the opposite South American team performed better.
The subsequent results were just as he expected, LL lost Figure 1 with a score of 9:16.
Entering the desert city in Figure 2, they got into the opponent's rhythm again, and finally lost to the opponent with a score of 10:16 and were officially eliminated.
The defeat of Team LL made the atmosphere in the lounge a little stressful.
Everyone in AO feels a bit sad.
"Come on, I hope you can bring good news!" Meng De took the initiative to encourage everyone in AO before they set off.
With the encouragement given by the ‘godfather’, everyone in AO walked towards the stage that belonged to them with a determined attitude!
