The first map of BO3, Vertigo, the death building that OG actively picked.
Fnatic chose CT to start on the opponent's map.
"Give me a pair of guns and I'll hide them behind a sandbag."
Qin Feng glanced at mezii, the tool man in the team.
Half a month ago, he was just a new player who had just joined the team.
After more than ten days of training matches and four Major qualifiers, Qin Feng has completely established his position as the core player in his team.
Asking mezii for a double gun is not too much, right?
"Crack."
"Crack."
A smoke bomb and a pair of guns were thrown at Qin Feng's feet.
Mezii's voice came from the earphones, "Aether, I'll give you another cigarette. If there's a sandbag fire on the other side, put it out yourself."
"Um."
Qin Feng nodded and ran towards the sandbag in Area A.
…
However, OG did not choose the A area guarded by Qin Feng in this round.
OG's analysts have already studied the videos of Fnatic's previous games more than a dozen times.
Nexa knows that in Fnatic's CT pistol round, in most cases they will choose to let Aether hold a mezii-fired double gun to defend the point.
And Aether is one of the players with the most terrifying record in the Fnatic team and even in the entire group stage.
They have no reason not to attack point B, but choose to challenge point A where the dual guns are very good.
The reason is easy to understand.
Just like when playing G2, the opponent of G2 will most likely choose to attack the area guarded by Aleksib instead of the area guarded by Niko.
In the 6657 live broadcast room, play with the machine.
“Area B is immediately RUSHed.”
"Can Poizon and ALEX hold on to the spiral staircase?"
"I was completely hit by a flash. Poizon and ALEX didn't even retreat, so I fired."
"It's over. The two of them were taken away directly by Walder who came in from RUSH."
The speed of light in Zone B is declared broken.
The comments in the live broadcast room also used the word "for free" one after another.
Mezii, who was guarding the middle road for investigation, did not dare to go directly to the police house and the wooden plank to return to defense because he did not have armor, so he had no choice but to hold off the bandits' possible entry point to break into the police house.
Qin Feng and KRIMZ at point A quickly chose to go to the police house and return to defense.
But unfortunately, in the 3-on-5 defense, only OG's flameZ was replaced in the end.
OG easily won the first pistol round of its chosen map.
In the second game, Fnatic chose to strengthen their guns.
Qin Feng took over mezii's bird sniper, added full armor himself, and spent 700 yuan to buy a sand eagle for mezii who had no armor.
The remaining three Fnatic players all chose the full-A Sand Eagle.
It's just that the rigid gun in this round did not have a very good effect.
FlameZ, who was in the breakthrough position, picked up AK and directly wiped out the CT in the middle that wanted to advance.
Although Qin Feng moved to the middle and took out the remaining health of flameZ, it was still difficult to resist OG's offensive.
At the cost of only one submachine gun and one AK, OG easily wiped out all five of Fnatic's players.
In the third game, Fnatic, who was purely ECO, did not defeat any of OG's firearms.
In fact, Fnatic's proficiency in the map Vertigo is very low.
If the level of Ancient Ruins was not even worse, ALEX would not be willing to release this map.
In the fourth round, Qin Feng used his sniper rifle to block the middle, but OG still chose to quickly lift.
A wave of speed-increasing bombs in area B, Valde directly killed the boxes in area B and then scouted ALEX, completing the breakthrough point in area B.
As expected, the score came to 0-4.
Although 4 long guns have been saved, Fnatic's situation is still difficult.
"Aether, maybe your sniper rifle needs to be pushed forward."
"If we play default, we feel like we can't hold on to OG's speed increase."
"It's an online game anyway, there are no spectators, so you shouldn't feel too much pressure."
"Just treat it like playing FPL. Now I can only rely on you to steal people from the front."
If it were a previous game, ALEX might have advised Qin Feng not to be so bold in his positioning.
But looking at the current situation on the court, the Fnatic commander knew in his heart that if he wanted to win this game, someone had to step up.
The most likely person in the team to stand out is the core of the team, Aether.
…
However, the next few rounds did not go as smoothly as ALEX imagined.
Qin Feng tried many times to press forward from various points, but except for a few gains, most of them were resolved by the bandits' rear-point guns.
Throughout the first half, Fnatic had no good response to OG's wave of map control.
Although Qin Feng and poizon won several final games with their wonderful performances, the balance of victory still continued to tilt towards OG.
As the score rose alternately, the score in the first half was locked at 5-10.
During the halftime break of the game, mantuu even chatted easily with his teammates.
"Is this the genius boy from China?"
"I don't think it's that great."
"How can his rating be higher than s1mple?"
"It can only be said that the opponents they encountered before were really good."
Nexa, the god of gambling, lightly reminded: "The game is not over yet, don't relax too much."
Mantuu smiled and said nothing. He kept pressing F and cut the ruby dagger in his hand.
"The second half of the pistol round begins."
"Fnatic's defensive side seems to have been figured out by OG by default, and Aether's sniper rifle has also been targeted by a lot of OG's props."
"I wonder if Fnatic's offense can surprise us after the transition from offense to defense."
Playing Machine explains the games on the field with a consistently passionate voice.
However, even if Qin Feng picked up the P250 sent by mezii, Fnatic still had difficulty breaking through OG's default gun.
"Hey, we can see that Fnatic chooses to go mid lane with five players to set up guns."
"What, Nexa actually chose three people to bet on the middle lane?"
"Mezii, who was the first to pull the gun line, was directly taken away by Nexa, and Aether only replaced Niko."
"The remaining bandits tried to pull out to replenish their guns, but were killed directly by nexa and flamZ in the middle."
"It's over, Fnatic didn't get the pistol round that was crucial to them."
5-11.
Fnatic directly chooses the gun.
However, this time the rigid gun was still resolved by OG's rear point gun.
Not surprisingly, the score came to 5-13.
In the next few rounds, although Qin Feng's AWP caused a lot of interference to OG's defense, it was still difficult to reverse Fnatic's decline on the entire map.
As long as Qin Feng is compensated by OG's previous players, even if Fnatic has a numerical advantage, most of the endgame will still end with OG's successful return to defense.
In the end, Fnatic lost the first map of BO3 8-16.
…
In the Fnatic club training room.
Qin Feng looked at his frustrated teammates around him and knew he had to say something.
"Brothers, it's just the first picture, it's nothing."
"And this building was originally a map chosen by OG that we are not familiar with."
"The next picture is the OVERPASS we chose ourselves."
"And along the way, we have also played many games against the wind."
"What's more, didn't we already know that we were going to play a tough game today?"
"They are strong, but we are also strong."
"Gambit in 2017 and C9 in 2018, didn't they become Major champions from a situation where no one was optimistic about them?"
"The team only signed a two-month contract with me. Maybe I will resume my status as a free agent after this game."
"However, no matter what the result is, I will thank everyone for their trust in me and will enjoy every game in the team."
