When Dream was making final preparations, two domestic teams, Tyloo and CSC, also helped Dream.
Help Dream with the final preparations before the game. For these two teams, their season is coming to an end. Can you help Dream before the end?
Ye Jianing also brought some good news.
Although the negotiations with several European and American teams were met with frustration.
But there are still three teams willing to play a few practice games with Dream.
Anyone who knows about the teams in the Asian region knows that Dream is a good team, but many European and American teams don't even care about Dream...
These three teams are the champion team of the Oceania Division, from Renegades, Australia. This team is also called the Australian Cowboys.
It is also the only seedling in the Australian division.
One is the North American team 100 Thieves.
Known as 100 Thieves, this team is not particularly strong in the North American division, behind established strong teams such as Liquid, G, and EG.
But even those strong teams don’t like Dream.
Neither team is particularly strong, and the only strong team willing to train with Dream is Fnatic.
This Fnatic team is from the European division, and its strength has been greatly improved after joining 4ice as a sniper. It has a great chance to reach the top 8 of this Major or even better.
They agreed to Dream's training request because of 4ice.
He has fought against Gao Ran and knows how strong Gao Ran is.
This little-known, seemingly unknown team has the best e-sports players in the world and great overall strength.
Definitely a dark horse team.
…
The training match is actually a process of testing each other.
Dream's attitude was still very serious. He played with his opponents at a normal pace, which also completely shocked the Australian Cowboys and 100 Thieves.
What kind of strength is this?
An Asian team actually beat them so hard.
If the overall strength of these two teams is compared to domestic teams, it is probably above Tyloo, but not much stronger.
With Dream's current overall strength, they can be firmly suppressed.
However, Dream did not reveal too many tactics and positions, and the fight ended normally, one at 2-1 and the other at 2-0.
The last training match against Fnatic was also one that Dream paid more attention to.
Fnatic is a challenger team, waiting for Dream in the next stage, and there is no direct conflict with Dream in the first round.
So the training match between the two sides is a bit special.
Initially, the members of the Fnatic team were not convinced, but as the game against Dream progressed, they also realized that this team was not simple.
This difficulty is not reflected in the score, but in the course of the game.
During the 1V1 process, Fnatic players could clearly feel the basic skills of Dream players.
With their ability, they were unable to gain an absolute advantage in a 1v1 match. This was completely different from the Asian teams they had encountered before.
What 4ice is even more concerned about is Dream’s new sniper Eyes.
This player was completely suppressed by him during the Asian Games half a year ago. Dream won the game entirely by relying on high energy.
But now in the duel, Li Zekai is no longer inferior to him.
This growth rate is also amazing.
The two sides played two sets and ended in a draw at 1-1.
For Fnatic, this is a special tournament, and it also makes them wary of Dream.
If nothing else happens, Dream will definitely advance to the second round. It’s hard to say whether they will compete by then.
For Dream, this is a game that boosts morale and confidence.
Gao Ran didn't expect Ye Jianing to get an appointment with Fnatic, but it was definitely a good thing.
It can be seen from the expressions of several young people after the game that they have confidence.
Before they played before, they would always wonder if there was any gap between the strong European and American teams and them, but this training match showed them that they are fully capable of competing against those strong European and American teams.
This mentality is very important.
…
Three days before the start of the new challenge group at the Garret Major.
Group information has been announced!
Countless domestic CSGO fans watched the first round for the first time.
"fine."
"It's okay to fight cowboys."
"It's true that the Cowboys are not a particularly strong opponent, just average."
Many fans were relieved when they saw the group information. Compared with European teams, teams in other divisions are obviously much easier to beat.
Even if the teams in Europe fall to new challengers, their strength is absolutely strong.
OG, MouseSports, these teams are top 16 teams that would give anyone a headache.
As time passes day by day.
A carnival event for CSGO fans around the world is coming soon.
Dream's game is scheduled for 3pm local time, which is 10am domestic time, which is absolutely a perfect time.
The Swiss round format has undergone many changes. The current rule is that it will only become a Bo3 contest when there are 2 wins or 2 losses.
In other words, the first two rounds are Bo1.
The fight was quite unexpected.
…
After the new challenge group competition of the Garrest Major officially started, each team also entered the competition state.
Both Dream and the Cowboys are fully prepared for this game.
The Cowboys didn't dare to be careless at all. They had played against Dream before and knew how powerful their opponent was. It wasn't that easy for them to win.
At 3 pm local time, Dream and Cowboys also entered the competition host, and after the ban selection, a new picture was left, Xiaogang Station.
Neither party has banned this picture.
Hundreds of thousands of domestic viewers also watched the game in major live broadcast rooms.
Dream played a little tight at the beginning of the game. It was the first time to play in this kind of world competition. No matter how well-adjusted the mentality is, there would be no fluctuations at all.
On the contrary, Dream's opponents, the Australian Cowboys, played very methodically. They are a team with experience in countless competitions.
There are very few teams that can threaten them in the Oceania Division, and they have to compete in the Major twice every year.
He is also familiar with the competition of this new challenger group!
Chinese fans are also very worried when they see Dream's predicament, and they feel indescribable anxiety when they see Dream members being knocked down one after another.
“I feel like I’m going to watch Gao Ran now.”
"As long as Gao Ran can stabilize the situation."
In the live broadcast room of former Tianlu professional player Summer, Somebody, who was even on mic with him, also spoke up.
Only Gao Ran in the entire Dream team has experience in world-class competitions. Although he is not from CSGO, e-sports competitions are similar.
Whenever a Dream game encounters difficulties, everyone will immediately think of Gao Ran.
This is how Dream has weathered the crisis in the past year of competition.
The Cowboys team is definitely not as strong as expected, but the intensity and training they displayed in the game are at a different level.
For a while, the newcomers to Dream were a little uncomfortable.
But luckily they have high fuel.
In the second set of the second half after 6-10, the familiar hero AK once again shined on the court!!
