After Dream was eliminated, countless media in China used the words "miracle is no longer there".
They have even become accustomed to standing on the field like kings with high energy.
Countless unpleasant words have been attached to Dream.
What soft-footed shrimp, the king of civil war...
Many hackers who had not found opportunities before or media outlets who were eager for traffic jumped out.
But they forgot, even Dream fans forgot.
This team has only been established for a long time.
Gao Ran is not a god. He cannot turn a team into a team that can win the world championship in just one or two months.
This PCS trip also had frequent situations, and it also gained a lot of game experience for the Dream players.
After the game, the Dream players were a little disappointed, but Gao Ran stood up as the captain.
Mainly because he had thought of this outcome, so he was mentally prepared in advance.
The other team members were not disappointed because of poor performance, but mainly because of the content of the competition.
In many battles, they can feel that there is still a gap between them and the world's top teams.
Not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of cooperation and adaptability on the spot.
It is impossible for Gao Ran to teach them how to play step by step.
However, losing the game made everyone feel relieved to a certain extent. This time they came to PCS and they were also under a lot of pressure.
If you lose now, you lose.
After the group stage, Gao Ran took Dream to play and relax in South Korea.
During this period, the players' strings were too tight and needed to be relaxed in due course.
The club has also officially taken a vacation, and they can probably take a vacation of about 20 days when they return.
Then the summer split started.
However, for professional players, a vacation is about being liberated from the competition mode. Like a rising professional player, you still have to practice at a certain intensity.
Not to mention everyone at Dream who is now depressed.
Originally they really felt that they were pretty good, and with their growing number of fans, they were the league champions when they first formed the team. It was impossible to say that they were not impressive at all.
Now really snap them back to reality.
…
Looking at the results of other Chinese teams, among the Chinese teams in Group A, the three teams Dream ranked 13th, SSS ranked 10th, and only Tianba ranked 6th and successfully advanced.
It is worth mentioning that GenG also finished seventh and advanced to the finals.
The situation in Group B was also relatively average at 4AM. The 7th place in the group was close to advancing, and the 12th group of PeRo was eliminated.
Two of the five Chinese teams entered the finals, which is not a particularly good result.
There are 4 Korean teams and 5 European teams. The results of these two divisions are much better than those of the Chinese division.
Regarding this PCS, everyone has given up hope after seeing the current state of 4AM.
The final was held at the Seoul Stadium, and Dream also came to the scene to cheer for the two Chinese teams, 4AM and Tianba.
The two-day finals will depend on how well the team adjusts.
It is now the home court of the Korean team. Although there are many Chinese fans, it is a game held in Seoul after all. The morale of the Korean team is high at the scene, and GenG has also swept away the depression of the group stage!
Killed everyone on the first day of competition.
Ranked first in the standings.
South Korean teams also took the top three spots.
The fourth and fifth are FaZe and Liquid respectively.
As an experienced team, GenG is also very capable of adjustment, and their biggest advantage compared to other teams is stability.
Their playing style and player abilities are very stable.
In the second day's finals, FaZe relied on their wonderful performance in two sets to catch up to the front!
Liquid, another strong European team, is gradually falling out of contention for the first group.
The competition for the championship will eventually be held between the three teams of GenG, FaZe and VSG!
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively and the competition scenes were quite exciting.
The crucial game in the last penultimate game!
It was Pio who stood up at the critical moment again and had a head-on battle with FaZe, knocking down both of them one after another and stalling FaZe's good situation.
Forcefully took a bite of FaZe.
Firmly grasp the 10-point lead.
In the last set, there was no way to win the championship without a high score, and the circle did not take care of FaZe. In the end, GenG won the cup at home in South Korea!
4AM ranked 10th, Tianba ranked 11th.
This should be one of the worst records of the Chinese Legion in the PCS.
Dream quietly left the field.
Father Ye also called Gao Ran after losing the game. He originally wanted to comfort Gao Ran.
But listening to Gao Ran's words, I couldn't hear the feeling he imagined from Gao Ran's words.
In Father Ye's vision, Gao Ran is a talented player who is arrogant and very confident.
And basically I didn’t encounter any setbacks.
Such talented players will usually be deeply hit after losing, and they may not be able to recover for a long time.
But you haven't encountered this kind of situation with Gao Ran?
Not only Ye's father, but also Ye Jianing were a little worried that Gao Ran would be deeply affected.
After all, Gao Ran almost had a smooth journey in the past. The biggest defeat he encountered was probably his loss to LGD in the Dota auditions?
But it’s not a shame to lose to China’s No. 1 Dota team that time 1 to 2. The key is...
This time it was a bit miserable.
Gao Ran said to Ye’s father:
"After all, the team has only been formed recently, and everything is moving in the right direction."
Father Ye thought for a moment, and that’s right.
The team has only been formed for two months and already won the league championship and entered the World Championship.
Hundreds of teams in China can win the league championship, and only a few can enter the world championship.
The club didn't say anything about Dream's performance, but the fans were madly shouting and dissatisfied.
Gao Ran didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you admit your mistake on Weibo?"
Gao Ran thought to himself.
Later I thought about it and forget it.
Forcing him to apologize to his fans or take the blame for an unexpected failure would be too unreasonable.
Dream is still in the running-in period, and it’s not yet the time for Gao Ran to step up and take over.
…
Soon after Dream returned to China, Dream received many interview invitations.
Most of them were rejected by Gao Ran, and the official interviews were really hard to refuse.
The current representative of Dream is Gao Ran. Even if Gao Ran doesn't care about his own image, he still has to think about the club.
The questions in this interview were also relatively mild, there were no sharp questions, and Gao Ran probably made it clear about the downturn in this competition.
I also faced the black picture on the Internet with a good attitude.
After the league championship interview, Gao Ran said he wanted to win the championship, and now it was accompanied by a slap in the face picture, which was widely circulated.
"Our team must have just been running in, and most of them are newcomers, so when we go to the game this time, we should mainly play with the mentality of learning and running in."
"Being eliminated from the group is definitely not a situation that everyone wants to see, but our team unanimously feels that we still have to win."
"I believe we will have more than one World Championship in the future. We don't want to compete with other teams every time we go there. We have to win first."
Gao Ran was right. Although the overall results were not very good, Dream did not have the upper hand in the duel with GenG.
On the contrary, they had the upper hand, which was one of the reasons why GenG finally left G Port Lower City.
