The first game of the China CSGO Professional League allowed these newcomers to understand what a professional team is.
Perhaps they are not better than these newcomers in terms of personal ability, but they are stronger in terms of professional experience and on-the-spot response. There are too many newcomers.
Of course, this Dream team has just entered the professional arena and played two official matches, so the casters will not jump to conclusions.
However, some professionals with professional experience can tell that Dream now lacks a calm temperament.
It feels like the overall game is a bit impetuous.
Therefore, generally for professional teams, the five strongest players are not necessarily the best choices. This is true for any team e-sports project.
A 1-1 draw in the first round was not an unacceptable result.
Gao Ran was analyzing the video in the team, and when he started scheduling training matches, he could clearly feel how serious the entire team was now.
This level of seriousness feels more focused than when they used to take exams.
"This is the advantage of young people."
Gao Ran also thought silently.
Young people are very competitive, and once they have a goal, they will rush forward desperately.
Now in the Dream team, it is not only performance factors that affect the players, but two more important points, one is the main position, and the other is the future.
Needless to say about the main position, now everyone is vying for the positions of the only few main players.
Including Smy, who was originally in the team, he should have seen it most clearly.
The fundamental reason is that the future of this team is too bright.
As a professional player who has been playing in the professional arena for 2 years, whether a team can succeed or not is something that can be determined.
The young players brought by Gao Ran are more and more perverted, and the most important one is Gao Ran, who is unfathomable.
His marksmanship strength is unknown, but it is said that he is far superior to these newcomers.
The understanding of the game is impeccable, and it can be said that he has single-handedly established a new Dream.
Regardless of performance or exposure, this is a terrifying team.
…
Dream's games started one after another, and several young players were still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game at the beginning.
But I quickly adapted to the professional game.
The strength of the 16 teams in the China CSGO Professional League is uneven, and the players can clearly feel it when they play.
The gap between the domestic first team and the second team is very obvious.
The focus of the fifth round is that the emerging team Dream will face the domestic king team Tyloo!
In the first 4 rounds, Dream achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 points.
Tyloo, on the other hand, has 3 wins and 1 draw with 10 points.
They are all teams at the top of the rankings.
Gao Ran felt that this game was okay, because it was the regular season after all, and he had watched a lot of Tyloo's videos, so he probably knew the level of his opponent.
However, the players on the field all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were preparing seriously.
This game feels like a test for themselves. How far Dream can go now, the result of this game is very important.
As expected, the popularity of this game broke the record for domestic competitions.
Before Dream or Gao Ran entered the CSGO professional scene, Tyloo was undoubtedly one of the strongest and most popular teams in the country.
And the current popularity of Dream is several times that of Team Tianlu. How could the battle between the top two most popular Chinese teams not be a topic?
These two games were also very fierce. In the first map Dust2, Tianlu won the game 16-9!
In the second game, Tianlu chose his own team’s powerful Purgatory Town.
Tianlu showed great strength on this map, winning another victory 16-8! Successfully defeated Dream 2-0!
Dream also suffered its first defeat since Gao Ran joined.
After the game, the match between Dream and Tianlu also sparked widespread discussion.
Surprisingly, everyone did not look down on Dream, but instead looked forward to a bright future.
The most prominent reply on the news home page is
"Dream's command level is really a bit stretched right now. Let's wait for Gao Ran's return. It depends on what level Gao Ran can achieve."
The rest of the responses pretty much have the same meaning.
1: The performance of the players is unstable. Except for Z1, which is always online, other teams are more or less underperforming.
Two: Cao Fei's personal ability to command was so poor that it even dragged the team back.
Three: Gao Ran has not returned yet. If Gao Ran recovers well and continues his magic before the injury, then Gao Ran's replacement of Cao Fei's team will directly move up a level.
Especially regarding Cao Fei, many fans are attacking him.
Cao Fei himself was also very stressed and even said some unpleasant things. Overall, Cao Fei's statistics were the worst in the team, and they were much worse.
One is because he was distracted from directing, and the other is because he is really not strong enough to be a first-team player.
Now the outside world's expectations for Dream are too high. If they treat them as a top team, there will definitely be a gap.
…
Gao Ran didn't have much to do. Again, he couldn't stop everyone's mouths.
He is used to it, but he is afraid of affecting the mentality of his team members.
But in fact, Cao Fei was mentally prepared before joining Dream, and he also knew what his strength was.
Not everyone has great e-sports talent.
He loves the competition field and yearns for the competition field. When Gao Ran said that he could stand on the competition field, he didn't know how excited he was.
From the time he first joined Team Phoenix 1 to now becoming the leader of Dream, it can be said that without Gao Ran he would have nothing.
With high trust and the trust of his teammates, Cao Fei will naturally continue to fight.
As for the abuse and messages from the outside world, they will definitely have an impact, but you must adjust yourself.
Gao Ran could only smile bitterly.
These so-called fans, whether they are sports, e-sports or others, think that they are helping the club by questioning the team or even attacking the players.
In fact, there is no benefit except hurting the team.
But no one will listen to these words.
In this era where the Internet is developed and people can speak as they wish, fewer and fewer people know how to think independently.
Gao Ran would smile bitterly every time he saw some ridiculous remarks.
I want to edit a Weibo post, but I don’t know what to say.
Many people say that professional competitions are essentially performances, and performance is just like an actor's poor acting skills or a singer's singing out of tune, which cannot be tolerated.
But for the players themselves.
It's the same as what the protagonist said in "The Master".
"Frankly speaking, what we strive for is actually a very personal ideal. No one would do it to please anyone."
The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
As players, they can only do their best and try their best to silence everyone with their performance.
