Chapter 190 Welcome G2 again
Sprout, a second-tier team, has just the right intensity for Heroic, who is now eager to regain his touch.
A relaxed and comfortable 2:0, and everyone has found their touch. This is the best result.
"Would you like to watch our next opponent's game? They haven't finished yet." Xizt pushed open the training room door and tapped the door panel with his index finger a few times.
"Okay, let's see. The next round will take a long time anyway." cadiaN nodded.
The schedule of the Flashpoint League is actually quite compact, with the main and auxiliary stages running non-stop. After a BO3 is played, both teams in the next group will immediately enter the server to start preparing for the game.
On the first day, there were 8 BO3 games, played from morning to night, directly determining the loser group and the second round.
The match between Heroic and Sprout was in the fifth game, but when Wang Che and the others had just beaten Nuke, the sixth game had already begun, with the Galaxy Battleship Faze playing against the French G2.
Now the two sides are still fighting fiercely on the first map, and the score is very anxious, 13:14.
G214 points, the defensive side in the second half.
Moreover, the map is still new, ancient ruins.
In the training matches and ladder, anyone can easily find that this is a map that is more CT-focused than train.
Point A is empty. Although there are two attack routes, there are almost no bunkers at the encirclement point and it is ventilated from all sides. The bandits must occupy the small donut A or the cemetery if they want to encircle the encirclement.
The bandit exit in the middle road is narrow, so it is easy to eat the Thunder Fire Combo.
The bandits at point B are even more difficult to play. You have an unobstructed view of the long corridor outside B. If CT wants to press forward, it will directly cover it with fire, and then dodge. The slope B and the small black room are both pulled together, and the bandits cannot hold it at all.
G2 chose the ancient ruins, obviously coming prepared, which caught Faze off guard.
They had just lost a round and allowed G2 to score the fourteenth point, but they were financially strapped. The eldest cousin karrigan was already a little panicked. He called a timeout and kept exchanging attack details with his teammates.
Coldzera looked impatient and ignored what was said in the voice.
It has been more than a year since I was dragged into Faze by my good brother Niko, but there has been no success.
At the beginning of the year, I don’t know what the club’s management was thinking, but they spent a lot of money to bring back Karrigan, the 31-year-old conductor.
Karrigan, Rain, and myself, these three combined have a combined age of 80. What results can they achieve?
Is this a "nursing home"?
He's had enough.
When he heard his elder cousin's attack plan, he felt not only impatience but also disdain.
"I am a two-time Major champion and a top-1 player for two consecutive years. What are you like?"
People's hearts are scattered and it's hard to lead the team.
Karrigan doesn't have any good ideas.
We can only continue to let the team attack point B slowly.
However, G2 had won several rounds in a row, their economy was full, and tons of props poured in, directly containing Faze's attack in the corridor outside B.
Then block Faze's desperate Rush A.
Successfully won your own map selection.
The second Faze picture selection is Mirage desert city.
The two sides fought on this map for 49 rounds and played three overtimes. In the end, Faze relied on coldzera's outstanding performance to win with difficulty, rewriting the score to 1:1.
The final picture, Inferno, is the solo show of nightclub prince Niko.
Banana Road came in whenever he wanted and came out whenever he thought. He scored 28 kills in the game, helping G2 win with a score of 16:7.
Before exiting the server, coldzera looked at the ID of Niko and couldn't calm down for a long time.
It was Niko who dragged him to Faze in the first place, but it was Niko who left first.
Leaving Faze and going to G2 to play brother CSGO, this deal was not made public until it was completed.
A few days before Niko left, the cold god was still telling the media that Niko was a good brother and lived like a clown...
Looking at the result of the game, Xizt shrugged: "The opponent in the next game is G2 again. How do you feel?"
It was decided before the game not to expose new tactics, but if we don’t use new tactics, what should we use against G2?
Relying only on the team's basic quality and personal abilities, it is still somewhat difficult to fight against G2.
However, cadiaN glanced at his teammates and Wang Che, who looked indifferent, and said easily: "Fortunately, I don't think the problem is big. Niko is in good condition, but our boys are not bad either, and we are better
Unity.”
Unity is Heroic’s greatest weapon.
G2 has long been causing a stir due to its internal problems.
Why does Niko act like a big star and refuse to obey orders? Nexa is helpless about it.
It was also said that some people in the team felt that AMANEK was too weak and should be replaced, but the management overcame all opinions and believed that AMANEK was the most suitable player for G2.
Although there are many problems, it is undeniable that when G2 condenses into a rope, it will explode with extremely powerful power.
But the question is when will it come together?
After the game between G2 and Faze, it was Tom Cruise's debut.
The new lineup of Nip faced off against Poland's Anonymo Esports.
Before the game, almost everyone thought that there was no suspense in this game.
Because dev1ce.
But the final result was unexpected.
In the first map, Overpass, Nip16:3 brutally tortured the opponent.
But dev1ce, who won, was not happy and immediately tweeted claiming that the server had serious network problems.
Everyone in Nip plays the game with a 30%-40% loss.
Anonymous players also said that the game can be postponed.
However, the result of the official discussion of the Flashpoint League is that the game will continue.
Then Nip lost to Nuke at 13:16, and then lost to Mirage.
1:2 upset.
The last BO3 is FunPlus Phoenix against the Danish team HYENAS.
HYENAS is a newly formed team, and all the players are old acquaintances.
Former talented boy Kjaerbye, former member of Heroic b0RUP.
But obviously, this new team did not get along well, and they lost 0:2 and entered the loser's bracket.
As soon as the first day of competition ended, Hltv immediately reported that Nip had submitted a rematch application.
The reason is that they suffered severe network packet loss during the match, which was beyond NIP's control.
They also lodged representations with the tournament organizer’s decision not to change servers, believing that the official move violated the spirit of competition and affected the results of the competition.
The organizers of the Flashpoint League also came to a conclusion after examining the documents provided by Nip and conducting a series of tests and analyses.
Certain security settings on the server are blocking NIP's network connectivity.
Therefore, Flashpoint League Lightspeed announced that competition integrity is the top priority in hosting the event. Although the final decision will have an adverse impact on some teams and players, as the event organizer, we will always give priority to the fairness of competition and competition integrity.
The third map of the match between Nip and Anonymo, Mirage, will be rematched on another day.
As soon as this news came out, the CSGO community was in an uproar.
The last time a major competition was rematched was back in 2014 when Fnatic played against LDLC in the world-famous Overpass game.
The audience was all in awe, as expected of dev1ce, he had to perform his first show twice.
While the contestants were recuperating, they also aimed their artillery fire at the organizer.
I think this is entirely amateurishness on the part of the organizers, which led to this result.
Legendary player Olaf tweeted: I hope to replay the 2018 Boston Major final. We could hardly hear any footsteps at the scene. The audience was so loud!
GuardiaN agrees.
Anonymo said this is simply ridiculous.
But their protests were obviously of no use.
In the end, the two teams had a rematch two days later, and the result of the rematch was obvious.
Nip easily won Mirage.
Became the last team to advance to the second round.
The lower bracket and second round games continue.
To be continued...
