After walking off the field, several players also went outside the venue to blow in the wind for two minutes to clear their heads.
The knockout rounds and the group stage do feel completely different, they can't tell.
Gao Ran still told them the answer:
"You guys are playing too conservatively."
"In this kind of knockout competition, you will subconsciously not dare to do technical moves."
"This is how it is in this kind of top-level competition, such as a one-on-one fight. The side that dares to fight will definitely have an advantage."
Gao Ran used his own experience to teach these young people a lesson, but he couldn't teach them step by step on the court.
They can only adapt on their own.
It is also for this reason why Gao Ran’s goal in the beginning was to reach the top 8 of the Major.
During the offline competition, Dream was in full form, and even beat Fnatic 2-0 without losing any blood. Now, they are unable to get out of form.
…
Returning to the field, the commentators in China also had worried faces.
Although the score in the first set was not very bad, losing the game 12 to 16, everyone could see the process very clearly. It was only Gao Ran who led the team forward.
If you continue fighting like this, it's only a matter of time before you lose.
"I hope Dream can find form on his strong map Dust2."
"Don't be so harsh on young people. Except for these four young people who are very passionate about Dream, it is the first time for them to participate in such a world-level competition."
"And they are all very young."
Xiao Rong also said with emotion. When he was taking a break just now, he took a look at the forum and the Internet.
It is no exaggeration to say that the young people who were criticizing Dream made a lot of remarks like "one god with four legs".
The current network environment is like this...
Say it before, forget it later.
The wind direction changes every three days.
The second map, Dust2.
Dream once lost to Liquid on this map.
Come to this map again.
Dream played an attacking position in the first half.
After advancing to point B for the first time, Dream didn't rush to attack. The most important thing now is to find Dream's attacking rhythm.
While Zhou Zijian was firing his gun at point A, Dream flashed directly and stormed in from point B!
The position of this flash bomb is also very particular. It is a flash bomb that bounces off the wall. The purpose is not to be seen by the opponent in the sniper position.
Mr. Luo and Dm were defending point B, and a fierce battle started as soon as Dream came in!
But what makes the Chinese audience worried is that the firepower of the two liquids is too strong! And they directly mixed smoke with Gao Ran to death!
Dream could only forcefully rush in.
Liquid's defense was as fast as lightning, and only two people were killed to wipe out the Dream group...
"Tsk..."
"Why……"
Many Dream fans have given up hope. In the second game, Dream could only choose Pure Eco, which also had no chance.
Under Liquid's strong frontal strength and discipline, they took a 2-0 lead without losing a single shot.
"Sniper."
Gao Ran directly told Li Zekai that their firearms situation was better than that of their opponents in this game, and it was also a game that they must win.
After making adjustments in the midfield, Li Zekai nodded and directly aimed an unarmored sniper at the center goal.
"Grab A."
"Just go!"
Gao Ran commanded the team forcefully, and without saying a word, Tang Lingfeng just pulled out a fire and forced a line of fire for his teammates!
Dream's coordination is also quite perfect, the flash bombs and smoke bombs all fall from the shots!
Liquid chose a three-man defense of Team A. When Dream grabbed Team A, he immediately released Team A, and then retreated back with the cover of smoke bombs.
There are many opponents, so there is no need to be tough.
Gao Ran also decisively chose to retreat. Although he handed over a wave of props, if he had to bite the bullet and attack in, the opponent's success rate would be too low if they were defensive.
Gao Ran calmly directed the team, and his teammates gradually calmed down.
Zhou Zijian used a smoke grenade in the middle to block the opponent's sniper rifle from behind. Dream did not have enough items to hit B and decisively chose to take the alley.
The Liquid team members in the trail did not expect Team Dream to arrive so quickly!
Gao Ran led two men and went straight up the trail, killing one of them and rushing forward.
Players who stay in the lane to defend are very afraid of being pulled by others.
The enemies in the area were also directly sniped away by Li Zekai's precise sniper rifle!
“The package is gone!”
"top!"
Dream, who had been suppressed for more than an hour, finally gained some momentum. Tang Lingfeng took the lead and used his body with residual health to help Dream successfully kill him!
At this moment, the spiritual free man Zhou Zijian also came over from University A.
I saw the back of the last defender at point A and shot decisively without making any mistakes.
"Nice!"
"Then this set is won."
"A wave of 4 against 2."
As and Xiao Rong also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had the advantage in this round, they could win as long as they could win Dream steadily.
"Did you notice that there were too many liquids and projectiles today?"
"Yes, it makes me feel bad for you."
As also said that Liquid's defensive strategy today was to contain Dream's first attack.
They have studied Dream's game videos and found that as long as Dream's fast-paced offense is restricted, Dream will have an arm cut off.
In the second long gun round, Dream's momentum was visible to the naked eye!
Another strong performance from Xiaodao, who directly occupied the spot position without the liquid reacting. Ye Rong, who had no performance in the first set, also won a double kill!
"Nice!"
"That's it!"
"No matter whether you win or lose, you have to show your momentum!"
Although he lost in the pistol round.
However, Dream, as the attacker, gave full play to its offensive advantages and continuously impacted Team Liquid!
After losing the third consecutive long game, Liquid was forced to take a timeout.
Just like they were leading Dream in the first set, Dream showed a completely different offensive attitude in the second set!
Is Dream a map-eating team?
Many people can't help but think that Dream's performance in Cache is indeed average.
"Really, you are targeting me on Cache, and I am targeting you on Dust2."
"Liquid's defense was also completely defeated by Dream."
Liquid's first defense likes to press forward to collect information, so Dream can directly attack from the lane by taking advantage of the opponent's disadvantage of not having enough pack points.
The opponent will definitely make adjustments in the next game, so Dream will definitely not be so foolish as to rush into the lane again.
Isn't that mentally retarded?
"But it can be clearly seen that Dream has gradually adapted to this competition."
"The team members' condition is also improving."
"Yes."
In the crucial spear round, Dream still pretended to attack the trail! He directly deceived Team Liquid!
"pretty!"
"Tang Lingfeng throws a wave of props here and pulls them out. It's a wave of feint attacks, a classic three-two trap!"
