Yesterday's hard-fought battle against Team Liquid in the semi-finals was like giving Dream a layer of gold and accepting a test from a top team.
"I really didn't expect Dream to be able to reach this point..."
The commentator Yuzu also shook her head and sighed.
Looking at the situation now, it feels like Dream has gone crazy and wants to reach the finals in one go.
Although everyone lamented the magic and power of Gao Ran's championships in the past, everyone can understand it.
For example, in team sports such as Dota2 and PUBG, Gao Ran is surrounded by players with rich professional experience. However, starting from the bottom this time, Dream stumbles along the way, and the shortcomings of the team members are also undoubtedly exposed.
But it just happened that I kept stumbling all the way up, and my condition got better and better.
The most obvious one is Ye Rong. From the beginning, the whole network was irritated by the previous game, and some people even doubted whether Ye Rong had the strength of a professional player.
I made 10,000 mistakes in a few games, but now I'm playing well...
"opened."
"In the second set, Dream is the offensive side. This is the town of Purgatory that Dream chose, so he should be well prepared."
When preparing for today's game, Dream had already prepared to choose Purgatory Town, because Fnatic's winning rate on this map is average, and there is a high probability that they will not be banned.
Dream started on the offensive side in the first half, and in the first game he directly chose the explosive RUSH Banana Road!
The first wave of charges rushed into the package point by virtue of the numerical advantage.
After holding his position, Dream waited and killed all the enemies who came to defend, and Dream took advantage of the opportunity to win the pistol round.
Dream's winning rate in the pistol round at this Major was not particularly high, but every game he won in the pistol round went smoothly.
In the second game, Fnatic chose to be strong. Dream played extremely well and was stuck for a long time. It started to attack with less than 30 seconds left!
Tang Lingfeng was killed by 4ice as soon as he showed his head.
The lack of time caused Dream to enter the pack point, but was delayed by two consecutive attacks from the opponent and had no time to place the pack. Fnatic's 4ice scored a double kill and led the team to a successful comeback.
But Dream immediately responded with strength. Dream's feint attack in the banana lane tricked two Fnatic A zone defenders into returning to defense. At this time, Dream decisively chose to move.
This is also a classic tactic of Dream.
Zhou Zijian is left alone to make noise and steal people from behind, while the others turn to the middle.
Fnatic immediately adjusted its defensive position when it realized something was wrong.
But Dream had too much experience in this kind of tactical game. Under the command of Gao Ran, Dream gathered again, and the explosive bomb used its own projectile to forcefully enter point B.
Fnatic was caught off guard and their rhythm was disrupted.
After placing the package, Gao Ran swept the enemies in the direction of the garden until their health was reduced and retreated to stabilize the situation. Fnatic failed to attack and lost the initiative.
In the subsequent long gun rounds, Dream thoroughly demonstrated what it means to get crazier with more fights!
Ye Rong, Gao Ran, and Zhou Zijian, the head-on winning rates of these three are exaggeratedly high.
Winning the spear rounds continuously, Fnatic had no feeling at all. Even calling a timeout was of no avail. Dream kept on going and expanded the score to 13:2!
"I think it's okay to open champagne at midfield now..."
"As long as Dream maintains this state in the second half, Fnatic won't have many chances."
The commentator also explained excitedly.
Switching offense and defense, Fnatic also chose Banana Road as its main attack direction.
Different from Dream's fast RUSH, Fnatic chose the strategy of hitting two shots to silence the stuck point and two shots to silence the stuck point. In this way, Dream could not judge whether the opponent had transferred points, causing point B to be unable to obtain reinforcements.
And Fnatic rushed into point B at the last moment and successfully won the pistol round!
After winning the pistol game, Fnatic won two economic games in a row, with the score reaching 5:13.
The game came to the crucial spear round.
This long gun game is indeed crucial. If Fnatic wins, there is still a slight chance, but if they lose, it will be gone.
Fnatic quickly suppressed the middle lane, and 4ice, who was connected to the position, fired two empty shots in succession to let Dream's large army escape.
Fnatic seized the opportunity and successfully planted a bomb with a strong attack.
Dream has no choice but to save the gun, but Fnatic doesn't want Dream to save the gun. If Dream successfully saves the gun, he can still fire the gun, but if Dream's gun is disposed of, there is a high probability that Dream will Eco.
However, what Fnatic did not expect was that when they handed over the gun, they were killed by Gao Ran and killed two people in a row. The losses were very heavy, and the gun was not handed over.
In the 20th game, Fnatic once again suppressed the banana lane with heavy troops.
But this time, Gao Ran stepped forward and killed Fnatiatic consecutively and suffered heavy losses to reach the pack point, but was directly defeated by Dream's counterattack and won the key victory.
Fnatic lost all momentum, and there was no miraculous comeback in the following games.
Lost the second game 8-16.
As a result, Dream defeated the strong team Fnatic in straight sets, 16-9, 16-8, and successfully reached the finals of the Bucharest Major!!
"Congratulations Dream!"
The camera showed the members of Dream, whether it was Gao Ran or other young players, their faces were filled with confident smiles. The continuous victories also gave them full confidence in Dream.
What they think is that if they can win against Team Liquid, then they can win against other teams too!
Fnatic was indeed not as well prepared for the game today as Dream, and its on-field performance was not as good as Dream's. This can be clearly seen from the 1V1 winning rate of both sides.
"This way Dream has also entered tomorrow's finals!"
"Continue to refresh the best record in China's AJOR."
"But if you look at it this way, Dream's pick is still very good."
"Forging the iron is still a matter of strength. Since Dream was able to win against Team Liquid, it shows that it was definitely not luck for them to reach the finals."
The commentator also said excitedly that no one thought that China CSGO would have such a day.
None of them expected that they would reach the Major finals at the right time, just one step away from the championship.
Dream’s opponent, Team A, was also quite surprised when they saw that their opponent was Dream. Indeed, they didn’t have much understanding or experience with Dream.
I’ve rarely even watched Dream’s videos.
A preview of tomorrow's final has been given on the big screen.
Dream vs. Team A.
It will start at 2 pm local time and 9 am domestic time.
…
After entering the finals, none of Dream's players were happy to have entered the top four. Instead, they felt the tension came back.
"Captain, you have played in a lot of finals, can you tell me if you have any experience?"
Ye Rong also said on the bus back to the hotel that he was a little nervous before reaching the finals.
If he doesn't perform well tomorrow, is he not a sinner?
The other members of Dream have all played in the finals of the Asian Championship, but Ye Rong has not, so he doesn’t know what it’s like to play in the finals.
Before Gao Ran could answer, Tang Lingfeng turned around and said:
"How can I tell you..."
"It's a feeling where you're obviously very nervous, but you're still focused on getting to the finals."
