"It's not a miracle! Dream defeated Liquid 2 to 1 and entered the Major 4!"
"The best record in Chinese ajor history!"
"Battle of the Gods! Dream will fight Fnatic tomorrow!"
…
After the Dream team members fall asleep, it is the best time in China to browse forums.
Both the forum and Weibo have completely exploded.
It seems that everyone in the circle of friends is watching CSGO games, but some people are confused, why don't I see you playing CSGO?
Although everyone doesn’t play, they are all cloud players.
You can still understand it, and it's so exciting to watch Gao Ran create miracles.
Even though they are halfway around the world, they can still get excited and their adrenaline is soaring. This is the charm of e-sports.
Everyone has heard too many words praising Gao Ran, but little did they know that at the beginning of the year there were still a lot of words questioning whether Gao Ran could return.
Fnatic is not surprised that Dream can beat Team Liquid in an upset.
As a professional team, they know that a CSGO duel depends on the on-the-spot competitive state, and this was an unstoppable personal performance that started from the first set.
In the first game, several teammates were out of shape and were beaten 12 to 16.
The state of the follow-up team members was lifted by Gao Ran, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
It was really a bayonet fight at the last moment of the third set. In fact, in terms of tactical execution and on-the-spot adaptability, the liquid handling was better than Dream.
Dream's players were stolen in several games.
However, the enemy had Gundam, and Gao Ran saved him from the end of several games.
Losing one more point may cause Dream's economy to collapse, and the butterfly effect may affect subsequent games.
There is another point in this game that clearly shows the growth of Dream players.
When facing difficulties or being wiped out by opponents in a wave of Tianxiu, Dream's players will no longer affect their own status as before.
There were two difficulties in the third set, and Dream regained control of the situation both times.
It's a five-player game, where everyone is strong and strong, but the performance of the players is also visible to everyone.
Fnatic has made arduous preparations for the next semi-final.
This is not the first time that they and Dream have played against each other, and they have learned a lot about each other.
This kind of knockout competition means whoever is stronger stays, white knives go in and red knives come out.
…
The members of Dream had a wonderful sleep.
It's not that I couldn't sleep because I was overly excited, but that I was too tired.
The fierce battle with the liquid lasted for more than three hours until the last minute. After I came back and took a shower, my eyes were fighting up and down.
Coupled with the fact that I will play Fnatic tomorrow, I feel so confident that I fell asleep right away.
When I woke up the next day to prepare for the competition, everyone was full of energy and not tired from the long schedule of more than ten days ahead.
In the first game of the semi-finals, Team A faced the Little Bees.
Both teams are super high-level teams, and they also showed a textbook-level offensive and defensive battle with no unnecessary mistakes. In the end, Team A, who was in better shape, defeated the Bees 2-0 and entered the finals first!
This is also the first time that Team A has reached the Major finals after 2 years.
Astralis, a dynasty team that was once a dynasty in CSGO.
Since the game CSGO was launched in 2013, there have been many strong players in the professional arena, and due to the characteristics of the game, there are only a few teams that can be called dominant.
Only NiP in 2013-14, Fnatic in 2015, and SK in 2017 had a short period of dominance.
Just when everyone thought that CS:GO had a multi-polar development trend, the big devil Astralis appeared and dominated the game so completely.
Almost every competition has excellent results.
Although NaVi, Liquid and other teams have successively challenged Team A's dominance, they are still the number one candidate for the best CSGO team in the World Championship.
However, the dynasty eventually collapsed. A few years later, Team A defeated two championship-favorite teams and finally stood on the Major stage again.
It's just that their opponents are definitely not the favorites to win the championship.
Whether it's Dream or Fnatic.
…
The semifinals start at 10 a.m. Beijing time.
There are still countless viewers waiting in front of the TV, waiting for Dream to continue to create miracles.
In the first game, both sides played on the train map.
Dream first chose Police (C on the second floor to make the default decision. Zhou Zijian and Ye Rong made single moves respectively, and FNC quickly occupied the B package point and won the pistol round. After two anti-economic rounds, FNC led 3-0.
Dream enters the state slowly.
However, in the first long gun game, it was FNC's own attack that was delayed and hesitant.
Li Zekai's consecutive kills helped Dream score consecutive points!
In the first half, both sides were still anxious, with Dream temporarily leading 8 to 7.
However, after adjustments during the intermission, Dream gradually regained its form.
In the first set of the second half, Dream's outfield attack was blocked and he moved to the infield, but was ambushed by FNC. He fired three kills, but it was difficult to save the result of C4 being demolished.
However, Dream once again took the team by surprise in the second half of the second half and used its signature hero AK tactic!
With his teammate Eco, he played a half-armor AK, killing everyone on the green pass and the bottom line. FNC was in chaos and was overturned by Dream!
Then FNC fell into an economic round. Although they struggled to hold on to two points, in the 21st round, Zhou Zijian shot from the middle of the fifth lane to the bottom line, and a wave of double kills opened up the situation for the team!
FNC, whose economy has improved slightly, is once again in a deadlock. After two rounds of ECO, the point difference is getting wider and wider!
“I feel like Dream’s condition is already a bit unstoppable.”
"It's like this. It feels like the whole team's temperament is completely different after yesterday's battle."
"FNC is a bit difficult to beat."
Playing Machine laughed in the commentary box.
In the first game, FNC was clearly chosen, but Dream completely dominated their opponents.
The entire team is so calm and confident from the inside out that it is completely unrecognizable that this is the young Dream who just entered the world competition 10 days ago.
This is the result of a lot of competition.
Gao Ran said in media interviews before he came that Dream, a young team, has a lower limit but a higher upper limit.
It is possible to get out of the first round, or to win the world championship directly.
Now it seems like it’s more than just a joke, right?
The state shown today has already made FNC break into a cold sweat.
In the last game of the first set, Ye Rong led the team into area A with a double kill and won the game!
Dream won the first game 16-9.
From the perspective of the game, FNC hardly had too many opportunities.
Previously, the young members of Dream did not believe that they could reach the finals. All they wanted to do was to play with ease and hit wherever they went. Those who were barefoot were not afraid of those who wore shoes.
It's different now.
They firmly believe that they will enter the finals. This strong self-confidence is the foundation of a strong team.
"The difference from yesterday's game is that I'm not so tired after playing with high intensity."
"Yes, I really gave everything I had in yesterday's game."
"Dream's players played very well today."
"The second set is the town of purgatory chosen by Dream."
"This choice of FNC was unexpected."
"Yes, they were a little surprised when Dream chose the town of Purgatory. They originally thought that Dream would choose Miraj."
