As a young team, we encountered some difficulties after a slow start.
Such large deficits were relatively rare in previous Dream games.
Gao Ran did not blame his teammates, but stabilized their rhythm through his own performance.
Regarding the Cache map, they did not study it as thoroughly as Team Liquid did.
In the 11th game, Dream continued to choose to quickly press Hall A. After directly killing a chicken that was pressed in front, the high-burning choice stabilized.
But Li Zekai's sniper rifle was defeated again in the duel in the middle.
This is already the second time he has been killed instantly by a liquid sniper.
"Don't be in a hurry."
"Gao Ran has to step up and help the team adjust at this time."
As an experienced commentator, Xiao Rong also spoke.
Except for Gao Ran, none of these four young people have ever played in the knockout rounds of the World Series.
Although it seemed to be in good condition when I came up.
However, the sense of oppression is very strong when it comes to the field, and it may directly affect the condition of the players.
Gao Ran obviously anticipated this situation. Before taking the field, Gao Ran said to the players:
"Today's knockout match must be more compact than any of your previous matches."
"Don't panic, try to adapt to the game."
…
One is a new team with no competition experience, and the other is a super strong team that has been around for more than ten years.
There is a gap between the two in their understanding of offline games.
That's why Gao Ran realized that he had to step up and help the team tide over the difficulties today.
Gao Ran took a deep breath.
Use the cover of teammates to enter area A and continuously complete extremely accurate point kills!
The terrifying AK bullets wreaked havoc on the field, and in the end game, with a low blood volume, he had to fight a chicken in a one-on-one duel.
Gao Ran deceived his opponent with a well-timed instant burst and did not choose to pull him out immediately to attack.
Afterwards, both sides continued to use rapid dodgers, and the young Gao Ran also had a huge advantage in the high-frequency operations.
Being ten years younger, it is obvious that the operations of both parties are not on the same level.
The high-burning shots on the left and right in succession perfectly captured the opponent!
"It's very difficult for Dream to score every point."
"This is not an option."
As also analyzed carefully.
Point by point, Dream cannot compete with its opponents just relying on Gao Ran and Zhou Zijian.
Gao Ran is just using actions to lead several young players forward and give them room to adapt to the game.
The last game of the first half was still high-energy, with a wave of 1V3 triple kills to score the team's 4th point!
In the end, Liquid entered the second half with a big score of 11-4.
…
The Chinese audience didn’t know what to say.
It feels like every time they don't have faith in Dream, Dream can create miracles and keep moving forward.
Every time they had confidence in Dream, Dream would stretch his hips a little.
The offense and defense exchanged. Liquid acted as the attacker in the pistol round and directly rushed the B point. However, the remaining four brothers rushed out early before the one-chicken Sand Eagle was in place.
Obviously, their strong performance in the first half also gave them confidence.
Needless to say, the high-burning pistol maintained its usual top level. A wave of 3 kills directly knocked back Liquid's team members, and Dream also won the pistol round.
"Too strong for me."
"It's really strong, dragging the team along."
"Damn it, if CSGO can do 1V5, I believe Gao Ran can do it."
Many viewers were also very anxious, especially the enthusiastic fans.
Gao Ran has been beaten like this, and the team is still so far behind...
It feels like LeBron James dragged the Cavaliers in the 2015 finals, and Curry dragged the Warriors in the 19th finals.
"If we can win this game, it may really be a highly exciting battle to become a god!"
"It just depends on whether my teammates can provide their own firepower."
As also said seriously that Gao Ran's performance so far has been impeccable.
After winning the economic round, the two sides came to the first long gun round.
After the firefight in Hall A, Team Liquid sacrificed one person to capture point A!
But what they didn't expect was that in a 2V3 situation, Dream actually chose to go back to defense?
Normally, in this case, the defender would directly choose to save the gun, but Gao Ran and Li Zekai would let go, and the kill was completed without Team Liquid's Mr. Luo paying attention!
The court instantly became 2v2. Gao Ran showed his touch and then continued to kill a chicken, leading his team to win the point.
The score gap was gradually recovered.
Everyone's hearts are beating crazily.
A situation that can be reversed by oneself...
This kind of scene is really rare in the game CSGO.
Maybe there is a game where a legend like Simple can play 1-for-4 or even 1-for-5.
But this is a long game.
Gao Ran's stable and strong performance can be ranked high in history.
Team Liquid also took advantage of the situation and called a timeout.
After the timeout, Liquid also chose to play a wave of tactics.
A wave of silent pulls came into the management room and caught Dream by surprise. Zhou Zijian at the first point was killed. With the numerical advantage, the next wave of swaps directly entered area A!
Dream had no choice but to save his gun and fight the next round.
"Dream is so tenacious."
Not only the Chinese commentators, but also the foreign commentators said it.
With a big score behind, Dream managed to catch up to 11:13!
Several young people in Dream have gradually recovered their status.
"still have a chance."
"But there is a hidden danger..."
"Yes……"
The two professional commentators, As and Xiao Rong, also frowned and said.
Although Dream caught up with the score, he lost too many guns.
Now we are facing a situation where if we lose, the economy will be in trouble.
In other words, as long as Liquid wins one game, it is basically equivalent to winning 2 games.
Dream has no fault tolerance.
What are you afraid of?
In the 25th set, Liquid's second attack at point A once again penetrated Dream's defense!
They also deliberately avoided Zone B, which was defended by Gao Ran. Gao Ran was in really good shape today, and even if they rushed in, it would be difficult for them not to reduce their numbers.
Liquid finally seized the opportunity in Hall A and scored a crucial point.
The score reached 14:11, and Dream was forced to enter the eco round.
Put all your hopes on the last wave of the economy.
At 15 to 11, Liquid got 4 match points. Although Dream fought back tenaciously, they were still defeated by Team Liquid 16 to 12.
…
After the first game, Gao Ran also patted a few young people on the shoulders and said something to them during the break.
The young team is very hungry and has a smooth start.
But to grow from a young team to a top team, the most important thing to learn is how to make adjustments during the game.
From the first moment when he took these young people, Gao Ran said that during the game, never bring the same emotions as the first set into the second set.
It doesn't matter whether it's victory or defeat.
"It's okay, we will try our best in the next two games."
