Not to mention the other 9 people except Gao Ran, almost all CSGO professional players participating in this competition have never experienced such a scene.
Incomparably fiery shouts resounded throughout the venue.
Several Dream players looked around, as if they were in a gladiatorial arena, surrounded by spectators cheering for them.
They knew who the cheers were for, and at this moment, a seed was planted in the hearts of these young people.
One day, they will get their own cheers.
It may be after a wonderful game, or after winning the championship. At that time, the audience's cheers are for Dream.
…
Sitting in the familiar soundproof room again, Gao Ran also felt a long-lost sense of excitement.
"Do a good job, brothers."
Several young players came to this kind of Asian competition for the first time and seemed a little nervous.
The reason why the lottery pick is very beneficial to Dream this time is because the opponent in the first game is an MVP with average strength, so there is room for them to fully warm up and become familiar with it.
This game is very important for these young players to become familiar with the Asian competition.
"Hello, dear audience friends!"
"Welcome to the competition site of the Chengdu PAL Asian CSGO Spring Championship."
"I'm the commentator As!"
"I am the commentator and play machine."
"I'm the commentator Yuzu."
Everyone is familiar with the three commentators at the CSGO scene this time, two men and one woman, and the audience also responded enthusiastically.
"Today's game is a bit special. It is the first offline game after Gao Ran's comeback."
"During the online qualifiers, we also saw that Dream showed a very good competitive state, and the high-burning state also recovered very quickly."
"In this offline PAL, we can also see from the interview that just aired that their confidence is still very high."
"It is true that the CSGO arena needs more fresh blood like this."
As said seriously, he is now one of Dream's die-hard fans, and he always feels that players like Gao Ran are enough to drive the progress of an industry.
"Dream's opponent this time will be the Korean team MVP, ranked 29th in Asia. It is indeed not a very strong team. If Dream can play to the level of their online qualifiers, the probability of winning is still very high."
After a period of analysis, the game entered the BP stage.
9 maps.
"Dream is a very comprehensive team and can actually play in all 9 maps."
"Yes, MVP directly banned Overpass. This map, Dream, has a winning rate of almost 100% in the league and only lost one game."
The narrator continued to discuss the map.
The last three maps have also been finalized, Purgatory Town, Dust2 and Nuke.
"Dream seems to like to choose Dust2 recently."
"Indeed, but after Gao Ran returns, their habits may change a bit."
"The first game was the Purgatory Town chosen by the MVP. This map is considered a traditional strong map for the Chinese team."
The commentator laughed and said that it is true that in the previous Major competitions in which Chinese teams participated, the town had the highest winning rate on the map.
Moreover, this map has maintained the No. 1 appearance rate in professional competitions for a long time, and the terrain of Banana Road is also very famous.
Gao Ran can probably guess that the opponent will choose this map. The Korean team's personal ability is not very strong. The distance between the two sides on this map is closer than many maps.
Relatively speaking, it tests the coordination of both sides.
However, for two teams whose strength is too different, the gap in personal ability can indeed directly affect the final result.
From the beginning of the game, Dream had a firm advantage.
Although the Asian offline level competition made Dream's players a little nervous, the absolute advantage of personal ability and high-energy offensive command allowed Dream to gain a huge advantage in the first half.
The first set was easily won 16-5, without giving the opponent any chance.
In the second set, it came to Dream's strong game Dust2. Dream was getting smoother and smoother, and MVP's confidence had been completely shattered.
Another 16 to 5.
With the cheers from the audience, Dream easily defeated the opponent in less than 2 hours including the intermission and banquet.
"Can."
Gao Ran smiled and high-fived his teammates one by one, celebrating his first offline victory since his comeback.
In this way, they have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals and will face the winner of the next game in the quarterfinals the day after tomorrow.
Asian Championship Top 8.
This achievement sounds a bit mysterious, but for Dream, this is just the beginning.
"Dream!"
"Dream!"
"Dream!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Compared to when he came on the field, Dream was obviously much more relaxed when he came off the field. He kept following Gao Ran and applauding the audience.
Why is Dream so attractive to professional players and young people inside and outside the industry? It has become the "holy place" in the hearts of the new generation of e-sports players.
The biggest reason is attention.
If you do any project, without the recognition and support of others, you cannot overdraw your potential.
In the Dream club, although there is a lot of pressure, you have to face tens of thousands of eyes and their accusations and abuses.
But improvement is also real, e-sports, survival of the fittest.
There is a very good competitive atmosphere in the Dream team now, and players on the bench such as Yang Wen and Ye Rong have improved very quickly.
After easily defeating Dream, Gao Ran also gave a simple post-game interview on behalf of the team.
When asked what it felt like to re-experience the feeling of victory offline, Gao Ran also showed a heartfelt smile.
During the time when he was injured, there were many people who wanted to see his jokes, and some commercial companies even stopped cooperating with Gao Ran.
Gao Ran has no resentment about this, he just feels that it is a bit realistic, but there is still an urge to prove himself in his heart.
"feels good."
"It's like I just started playing professionally. It's quite interesting to prove myself again."
…
After the game, Dream and others were not particularly hungry and chose to stay in the venue to watch the next game.
The winner of this game will also be their opponent in the quarterfinals.
Originally, the strength of the teams in the Asian competition was uneven, but this round eliminated almost all of them.
"The next round will be pretty easy."
Smy also stood next to Gao Ran and said.
The next game will be the Chinese team VNG playing the Mongolian team D13, both of which are not particularly strong.
Whether playing VNG or D13, Dream is quite confident.
After Dream was promoted, the scene seemed to have become VNG's home court, and they cheered for VNG crazily when VNG played.
VNG also lived up to expectations and played a very exciting performance, defeating D13 2-1 and advancing to the top 8!
In this way, all four teams that advance to the top half are confirmed.
