The next day, the remaining two teams, 17 and OMG, arrived in London one after another.
Wangyu Internet Cafe located in London provides free training venues for three teams, as well as private room treatment.
However, many Chinese fans from London came during the training. Some of them were fans of 4am, some were fans of Wei Shen, but the biggest ones were fans of Jiang Siming.
Because the video of Jiang Siming's bloody massacre of those disgusting anchors in the American server has been uploaded on a British website a few days ago, Jiang Siming attracted a large number of foreign fans.
And there were quite a few female fans who came over, making Wei Shen and the others extremely envious.
Although they couldn't be disturbed by the training in the box, these fans took the trouble to come and blocked the outside of the box.
Jiang Siming and Wei Shen then suspended training and went out to meet fans.
The two acted separately, one on each side, signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
But Wei Shen was upset, because all the female fans went to Jiang Siming's place, and his place was full of men, not even a fat girl.
In the other box, the little lion was also signing autographs for the fans. He even paused training and said he would take the fans to have a meal.
Seeing that he was surrounded by fans and beaming with joy when he left, Jiang Siming became a little worried for him.
Because when he was in his hometown, he heard Wei Shen mention that OMG never participated in training matches, but instead played live broadcasts every day to beat passers-by and pick up girls.
Looking at his somewhat conceited expression now, Jiang Siming guessed that he might have lost his temper.
This is also human nature. It is easy to have honor, but it is the most difficult to hold on to honor and not lose yourself in honor and praise.
He is very similar to Wei Shen back then. S5 has not even started yet, and LGD, which has already won many championships, is not looking cool. They are still in China and they are starting to think about which championship skin they want.
After that, s5 also gave Wei Shen a heads-up, so now Wei Shen has become more powerful and humble than before.
Regarding the little lion's behavior, Jiang Siming didn't say anything and turned back to the house to continue playing with the team members.
I only had time to train for one day, and the competition started the next day.
The tournament is divided into six days, three days of group stage, one day of knockout stage, and two days of finals.
The tournament schedule is extremely tight, and there is no free day in between. Unless you advance directly to the quarterfinals in the group stage without having to play the knockout rounds, then you can have a day off.
Such a compact competition time is also considered by the organizers to allow players to keep playing and maintain their feel and facilitate their performance.
The group stage is divided into three groups ABC, with 8 teams in each group, and a total of 4 teams from around the world.
On the first day, there will be a match between Group A and Group B, on the second day Group B will play Group C, and on the third day Group A will play Group C.
Each group will play two days of competition, six games each day, and a total of twelve games will be played. The top eight scores among the twelve games will directly advance to the finals.
4am is in Group C, so there is no need to play on the first day, but 17 and OMG are both in Group B, so they have to start on the first day.
Although there was no need to play, the captain Wei Shen still brought his players to the scene to watch and learn from the experience, and to learn more about the playing styles of teams from other countries.
"What are the rules for scoring points?" Jiang Siming asked Wei Shen while sitting on a chair.
Wei Shen explained patiently: "This FGS is different from last year's PCI. It encourages everyone to just shoot and kill. Each head is worth one point. The top ten are from low to high, the highest is ten points, and the lowest is one point. It's that simple.
"
Jiang Siming nodded, indicating that he understood.
When the game started, what the Chinese audience didn't expect was that OMG, last year's champion team, would give away the first two games for free.
It’s all for nothing, even if I didn’t get a single point, didn’t make it into the top ten, and didn’t kill anyone, I would be GG.
In the third and fourth games, OMG got points, but still fell on the way to the top ten.
It wasn't until the last two games that OMG broke into the top ten, but still didn't make it into the top five, and didn't win many kills.
At the end of the first day of competition, OMG was almost at the bottom in points.
This is something that no one, including the foreign organizers and presenters, expected. The former champion team, which had high hopes, would perform so poorly today.
"OMG I'm a bit sleepwalking." Wei Shen said with a frown.
"The first few games were fine, a little awkward, but there seemed to be no communication in the back. The little lion was even more reckless when seeing people and didn't take detours when driving. It was too confusing. Even the passers-by bureau didn't do this.
"Small eye-catching comment.
"There should be communication problems and conflicts within the team."
Jiang Siming guessed right right away, because when they saw the four OMG team members exiting the backstage, the little lion was talking excitedly and was obviously quarreling with the team members.
This is not a good sign, I just don’t know if they can hold on and adjust.
Jiang Siming also felt a little emotional. It might be better if they were in Group A, because Group A can take a day off, and they have the maximum time to make corrections.
Except for OMG, which is very confusing, the other teams played pretty well.
The 17 teams that entered the global competition for the first time performed very bravely. Although they didn't get a single chicken, they were able to advance into the top ten every time and killed a lot of people.
Their points are in third place.
In addition, the teams from other countries are very strong.
The most powerful teams are European teams, North American STK, TS, and Liquid.
These three top e-sports teams performed extremely well, occupying the first, fourth, and fifth places respectively! The positions are very high.
The Korean teams are also quite strong, with AFF, RGS, and VSG ranking very high, with AFF occupying the second spot.
The strength of other national teams is relatively low, such as Thailand AG, France Enry, Malaysia's INC, etc.
There are even AHQ and MP5 from Hong Kong and Macao, but their performance is mediocre for the time being.
But in short, it can be said that there is almost no underdog in this World Championship, and the difficulty is beyond imagination.
Wei Shen also said that he was under a lot of pressure. Although his 4am won the PCI championship, it was in the TPP model.
TPP has been canceled long ago after this year. Their strength in FPP is not stronger than any of the top ten teams. Of course, it cannot be said to be weak. It can only be said that they can play, but it will be difficult.
After returning to the hotel, the club coach held an emergency meeting for everyone to discuss tomorrow's play style, which must be steady.
This made Jiang Siming tangled. He didn't even play in the domestic league, and he gave up a lot of good opportunities to get fragments.
This time in the World Championship, which has a higher explosion rate, you actually need to play steadily?
Jiang Siming said he would not do it. It would depend on the situation. He would not be merciless if he could kill people.
The day flies by, and in the afternoon of the next day, the competition between Group B and Group C is about to begin, and the day's performance time of 4am has arrived.
An hour in advance, everyone had already finished debugging the equipment.
Each team has four computers, which are quite far apart, and there are referees watching behind each team.
This is Jiang Siming's first time playing in a team competition, and it is a world league like this. He has to compete with masters from all over the world. Jiang Siming is not only not nervous, but also very excited. (To be continued)
