It's just that the outside world cannot see this kind of turmoil.
Now that the team has gathered a large number of young players, it must take action. The current regulations are that a professional club can only have one team participate in the competition. Basically, young people who enter the professional circle will be eager to play.
Father Ye and Gao Ran also considered establishing another club and giving the club's owner to Gao Ran or Jianing, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really not necessary.
Nor are they the heroes who saved Chinese eSports.
Building an additional club will only provide a few opportunities to play, but in reality it will still be the second team of Dream.
And now that Dream is a benchmark in the industry, the most important thing is to do well itself.
Now the Dota 2 division and the PUBG division are strong contenders for the world championship, and the FIFA division is doing okay with Wan Wenxi leading it.
The most important thing is the CSGO division where Gao Ran is now, and we must do our best.
If it can really lead the rise of CSGO in China, then Gao Ran's reputation will probably reach an unattainable height.
…
During this break, several newcomers who have joined Dream are continuing to train at home.
When their parents heard that they had joined Dream and signed Dream's rookie contract, they were even more excited and urged them to continue practicing.
If you send your child to an e-sports academy, you must have some understanding of e-sports. Now, unlike ten years ago, there are high-profile endorsements all over the street.
Everyone knows that entering Dream in the e-sports industry is like Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the future is bright.
However, this amount of professional-level training also shocked parents who didn’t know much about professional e-sports.
Basically, apart from eating and sleeping, I spend most of my time training in front of the computer.
No profession is easy, every professional player has put in countless efforts, especially the Dream players.
In a game like CSGO, there is no way he can complete the transformation in one game like Dota 2. It depends more on daily accumulation and practice.
Game understanding is important but marksmanship level is fundamental.
The original Phoenix 1 team members were unable to play practice matches together during this period, as they had no opponents.
Professional teams will not train with their amateur players who have not yet entered the professional ranks.
Just waiting for Dream’s collection date.
In this season's China CSGO Professional League, Dream finally finished 13th and successfully avoided relegation, which was quite thrilling.
The bottom two teams will face relegation and a new club will take over.
The three major points events, leagues, and ESL tournaments have all been completed.
The last remaining official event, the PAL Autumn Championship, will start in mid-September. This is a competition in the Asian region. Dream did not qualify in the auditions, successfully ending the season.
Of course, according to normal club procedures, Dream now has to participate in some domestic platform competitions or invitational competitions.
However, this season everyone knows that this is the season that Dream strategically gave up, so no one was surprised when Dream gave up the next game and announced that it would enter a holiday.
…
On September 17th, in the new base of Shanghai CSGO branch, a tense game is about to take place.
Gao Ran also watched the game from the OB perspective with great interest.
The 7 people on the left are the current registered players of Dream. The 5 people are sitting in the position to communicate and operate, and the 2 substitute players are watching the game from behind.
The 6 people on the right are the 6 new players! The oldest Li Thikai is only 18 years old.
Originally, the members of Phoenix's first team were also sitting in their positions to face their opponents.
No matter how much you say benevolent and righteous words, it is useless. The best way for e-sports players to liberate themselves is to play more and let their strength speak for themselves.
Gao Ran’s current identity is the team’s coach.
Everyone knows that with Dream's current personnel reserves, there will definitely be a personnel cleanup this offseason.
It may be impossible to kick out those new players who have joined Dream. After all, they were brought here by Gao Ran, so players like them must be eliminated.
Many people who can join Dream regard Gao Ran as a senior or an idol. If there is one person who can lead Chinese CSGO to create miracles, this person is currently only Gao Ran.
Who doesn’t want to stay in Dream and continue playing games.
Although this time the team is in the form of a training match, it cannot decide who will go and who will stay, but no one wants to lose in such a game.
Gao Ran watched the game and observed Dream's current players.
The players who came out of Dream’s youth training still have two skills, and there are also students from the previous class of Phoenix E-Sports Academy or students from the previous class.
After regrouping, the high-burning Phoenix 1 team also needed some time to get used to, but they still showed their strong personal abilities in a short period of time.
The further back the fight went, the more frightened the original main team members of Dream became...
Tactical coordination is secondary, the main thing is the difference in personal abilities.
Sniper Li Zekai almost destroyed Dream's sniper. After several consecutive battles, he no longer dared to shoot against the new team.
However, after playing so many games in professional games, I still have experience. It is obvious that the main players of Dream play more compactly and the connection between the players is stronger. This is also experienced on the field.
Although this new team led by Gao Ran has very good tactical details under the guidance of Gao Ran, they have the most serious problem, which is their lack of competition experience.
I haven't played any high-level games. The only high-level game was probably when I played IG in the ESL auditions, but there was only one game.
Unlike Dream's main team, the opponents in training matches are all other professional teams.
The competition was very intense, and the communication between the two sides was extremely serious.
After the battle ended at 1-1, the rookie team also won the decisive game of the third set in the middle, and consecutive long-shot game wins directly sealed the victory!
Successfully won the game 16 to 9!
Won this Bo3 match 2-1.
After the victory, the emotions on both sides were completely different.
On the left side, the original Dream players must have been disappointed, being defeated by a little-known rookie team, and they had just finished the PAL Autumn Championship, so there was no problem with their condition.
Such a blow was a big blow to them, as if the club really wanted to drive them away.
There have been constant speculations about the arrival of Gao Ran, and it will definitely have a great impact on the current Dream.
On the other hand, the rookie team would certainly be happy if they said they were happy, but they themselves knew that they were not playing particularly well.
After all, they had just returned from vacation, and they had not had high-intensity training with their teammates for almost 2 months, so they still needed some time to adapt.
