Each team does not play many games in the preseason, with only two games serving as warm-up matches before the game.
Because Dream was not ranked very high in the league last year, the opponents assigned to it were not particularly strong, namely TSG and 4AM.
The results of these two clubs last year were similar to Dream, and they were equally strong.
The games started on the 10th and 12th respectively. They were both Bo2 games, just like the current domestic leagues.
The news of Dream’s reconstruction instantly swept the e-sports circle!
You must know that this Dream team has invested huge sums of money and invested countless resources, and is a young team led by Gao Ran himself!
The average age of the team members is less than 19 years old.
Gao Ran has created too many miracles. Even if Gao Ran does not come back now, these young people he brought out will definitely attract enough attention.
Some media are already investigating the information of the new members of Dream.
A year has passed, and although Gaoyan’s traffic has decreased, it is still terrifying.
…
In addition to helping the current main team prepare for games, Dream Club is also planning the game plan for the first half of the season today.
This has to mention the three major points competitions in the Asian Division.
The first one is the "China CSGO Professional League" that started on December 24th. This professional league will last for nearly 2 months, with 16 teams competing in a Bo2 round-robin tournament.
After the 15 rounds, the top 8 teams in points will enter the playoffs, with the top 4 teams in the winner's bracket and 5-8 in the loser's bracket.
The winner will then be determined through a Bo3 double-elimination tournament.
The ranking also determines the points distribution in the official event. The winner will receive 300 points.
The second points match should be the most important tournament.
ESL Asia Championship, this is also the official event with the most points. The championship points will be 500 points.
The auditions will start at the end of February, and the main competition will start in March.
16 teams participated, 3 teams were directly invited from the China Division, and 3 teams were selected from the auditions. A total of 6 teams participated.
Basically, the team that wins the ESL Asian Championship, as long as the league or PAL performance is not too bad, will be the only Major Asian Division quota winner.
The last third points competition is the PAL Spring Championship.
The competition will start in early April, and the championship points will be 300 points.
…
"Only the league is domestic, and the other two points competitions are Asian events."
"But I should play a dozen more games this season."
High fuel planning road.
This season is also a season for Dream to get used to it.
And now that there are so many new players in the team, there will definitely be more games to play.
There are also many cup competitions in China, and CSGO competitions are very fast, because basically except for the league, they are single-player competitions.
Even the Major is like this.
It doesn’t want to be like Dota 2, which is basically a double-elimination match and takes time to play.
As someone who has experienced it, Gao Ran clearly understands that competition, especially during the growth period, must be played more often.
Because in a training match, other clubs won’t be able to fight you with real weapons.
Even if the opponent didn't let off steam, their tactical preparation and psychology were not in a real game state, and the effect was there, but average.
You still have to go to the field to practice.
A few days passed quickly.
In the past few days, the attention of the domestic CSGO scene has been increasing rapidly, and the Dream team will finally unveil its mysterious veil.
Countless people are waiting for what kind of fresh blood and miracles Gao Ran can bring.
…
Strictly speaking, preseason games are not official games, so these newcomers have not ushered in the official first stop of their careers.
But this is the first step in starting a career.
The game on December 1 has not started yet.
The live broadcast channel of the official match has already received an influx of viewers that broke the historical record of the domestic league!
Even last year’s domestic league finals had far fewer spectators than this preseason!
This time it was really CSGO fans and fans who were watching the excitement.
CSGO is a game that is very easy to understand. For most Internet-addicted teenagers, even if they have never been exposed to CSGO.
But you must have been exposed to CS or CF.
Many high-burning fans who don’t play CSGO come to watch the game to support the high-burning team.
It is said that Gao Ran's comeback will not be too far away, and many of these players may be Gao Ran's future teammates.
Dream’s roster has already been announced on Weibo, and it’s really exciting.
CSGO fans are more familiar with last year’s Dream ace player Smy, who has very strong personal abilities.
The other few people are only familiar with Dream fans or high-burning fans.
Audiences who follow this year's Eight-School League should be familiar with it.
The other three people, except for Phoenix's rookie commander, are Phoenix, Yaoguang and Yanjing's ace players respectively.
They are all talented newcomers.
Judging from this lineup, many professionals are not very optimistic about it.
If only talented newcomers could achieve results, China's CSGO would have skyrocketed long ago, and there are only a few newcomers who can achieve success every year...
The game finally started under the spotlight.
The strength of the TSG team is not particularly strong, but the foundation is still there. The team has 3 veterans and 2 newcomers, and they also replaced 2 newcomers this year.
These two newcomers, Gao Ran, are very familiar.
How could he not be familiar with it since it was all taught by him...
They are all players from Phoenix. They are pessimistic about this game because those players are too strong, especially Zhou Zijian and Li Zekai.
Sure enough, Dream took the absolute initiative as soon as the game started!
Won 4 games in a row and got off to a good start 4-0.
Gao Ran is also very satisfied with the team's current state of play. He is not as nervous as when he first entered the competition, probably because this is not a formal event.
Smy is experienced and Zhou Zijian is calm and composed. With these two cores in the team, the team can be stable.
…
"Dream directly chose Rush!"
"Beautiful! Z1 killed 2 enemies in a row!"
"Smy, follow up and refill!"
"Wow! So strong!"
The official commentator on the passion for playing machines said that over the past few years, he has become one of the most popular commentators now.
"It's 6-0! TSG immediately called a timeout! I really didn't expect Dream's offensive ability to be so fierce."
"It's really rare to win 6-0 on a map like Mirage."
"This new team seems to have no shortcomings so far in terms of coordination and marksmanship."
Another female commentator, Linzi, echoed.
They thought that Dream would be a team of young people, with good marksmanship but lack of coordination and props, but now they find that Dream is completely different from what they imagined.
The props were used very well, and the entire team's offense was carried out in one go.
The team members' marksmanship is also obviously higher than that of their opponents...
