Chapter 202 The Only Tom Cruise in E-Sports
On June 1st, the Flashpoint League competition continued.
Previously, in the first round of the loser's bracket.
The upset Little Bee Vitality finally woke up and defeated International Column OG 2:0, and then faced fpx today.
After three fierce battles on the map, the Little Bees won another hard-fought victory with a score of 2:1.
Mi Shen misutaaa finally came together, with three maps Raring 1.25, ahead of ZywOo's 1.22.
Many Little Bee fans thought that Zaiwu had finally waited for his electronic brother.
After COL defeated Fnatic in the first round, they were beaten 2:0 by G2, who had just entered the loser group.
What is surprising is that Faze Clan lost to Sprout in the first round of the lower bracket and was eliminated 1:2.
Although the young player Broky in the team performed well, Rain's condition continued to be sluggish.
Moreover, after watching the videos of the two teams, cadiaN said that this was not an accident. Neither he nor Xizt was optimistic about the current Galaxy Battleship. The conflicts and contradictions within the team were clearly visible on the field.
"Obviously, coldzera is not satisfied with karrigan's command, and his actions are somewhat out of touch with the team."
"No matter what the team is, as long as there are people who don't have the same idea as others, the only outcome will be failure."
Xizt nodded and agreed: "I feel like Faze struggled a lot. They didn't have a unified goal. They had different ideas and had to part ways in the end. Faze is not far away from being replaced again."
"It's not that it's not far away, but it's already in progress. coldzera already has the intention of leaving." cadiaN blinked. He has been immersed in the CSGO professional scene for nearly 10 years and has many friends. "And Faze may call his firefighting teammate olofmeister back.
It’s also possible that they’re recruiting people from other teams.”
"Oh, let me tell you, yesterday karrigan suddenly asked me if I was free recently and wanted to ask me to come out and talk." Xizt suddenly understood.
In the ancient CS era, Xizt and karrigan were teammates in Fnatic for a while.
Because they are both conductors, the two have kept in touch since then.
"Ah? He also sent me a message." cadiaN was a little surprised. "Maybe he wants to poach people from us."
Poaching? Who can be poached?
Who is the most worthy of karrigan to dig?
Coincidentally, both of them glanced at Wang Che with questions in their eyes.
Wang Che shrugged and smiled indifferently: "Are you willing to let me go to Faze?"
The two shook their heads desperately.
"Then it's over. I don't want to go either." Wang Che stared at the screen and said firmly. "I'm at Heroic now and I'm not going anywhere."
After taking a long breath, cadiaN's expression returned to normal: "Maybe he just wants to reminisce about the past."
Xizt had a meaningful look on his face: "I hope so..."
Sprout subsequently lost to BIG 0:2 and bid farewell to the game.
The German eldest brother beat up the second brother violently.
In the last loser bracket match, Anonymo 2:1 HYENAS, and then was taken away by Double Poney.
Next it’s the winner’s group’s turn.
The first was Astralis, which lost 0:2, and mousesports advanced strongly.
Cold King frozen went on a killing spree, using his personal abilities to push Astralis into the loser's bracket.
Next, it’s Heroic’s turn to face off against Nip and the “human limit” dev1ce.
Heroic's team members were not nervous, and even felt a sense of relief.
Because Xizt and cadiaN just said that the team has reached this point and can guarantee the top six in the competition.
The Flashpoint League champion only has a bonus of US$17,000, and we don’t know when or what month it will be received.
The only important thing is the RMR points. Sixth place is awarded 1100 points, and winning the championship is only 1600 points. There is not much difference.
With these 1,100 points, plus the 600 points inherited from the previous Major Legends Group in 2020, you can already lock in a spot to enter the Stockholm Major.
It’s just that it remains to be discussed what group it will enter.
When I say these words, I just mean that everyone does not need to be stressed and can relax.
Of course, the team’s goal is still to win the championship.
Heroic's creed has always been to go all out and never underestimate any opponent.
We discussed tactics and details again during the day, played a training match in the afternoon, had a simple dinner, and took a short rest.
Until the start of the game, Xizt was still discussing tactics and game precautions with everyone.
"dev1ce has just joined Nip not long ago, but according to the demos of Nip games in the past few days, the position he plays now is not much different from the position he played in Astralis."
"It seems that Nip specially asked the other four people to make adjustments in order to make him play more comfortably." TeSeS continued.
cadiaN also agreed with this: "That should be true, but Nip is not Astralis. There are some things that Nip cannot do."
"What map are you planning to play?" Xizt asked.
"Nip doesn't want to attack buildings, and they will definitely choose amusement parks. For our first map, should we choose ancient to surprise them?"
Xizt's eyes lit up: "Of course. Then there is a high probability that Mirage or Inferno will be left in the last picture. They should not dare to fight Nuke with us."
"I think so too..."
The Nuke map is larger, and the details of map control and battlefield segmentation are quite difficult to coordinate among the team members.
dev1ce has just joined Nip not long ago, and even with the training time, it only lasts for half a month at best.
Obviously, Heroic can't beat Heroic in terms of tactical details.
What's more, they still have potential language problems.
The simple Mirage and Inferno are relatively easy to fight.
When the game officially started, the BP results were not much different from the results discussed by the two.
On June 1, 2021, at 7 pm Copenhagen time, Heroic will play against Swedish star Nip.
Nip chose Death Amusement Park, Heroic chose ancient ruins, and the final decisive map was Purgatory Town.
"Heroic actually chose ancient, ancient ruins! This will be the third appearance of this map in this Flashpoint League!"
"Anonymo took the initiative to choose Ruins twice before and won the map in both games. Other teams would not take the initiative to ban this map until the last moment."
"Does Heroic want to come to BoU?"
As soon as 6657 playing machine saw the PB results of the competition, he started to be surprised.
[Anchor, what did you say just now? Say it again?]
[Sentimental anchor, reported]
[Ancient This picture has a huge CT advantage. If you grab the bandits in the middle, they won’t be able to hit them anywhere. It’s a bit difficult to play.]
[Clear seems to have never met Tom Cruise...]
"If you dare to choose ancient now, it means there is something. Don't believe it."
"Although all teams must have practiced this map, their understandings are different, and the effects of playing it are definitely different. We can see Brother Dianzi's understanding later."
"Okay, the pistol round has begun."
"Welcome everyone to watch the game between Heroic and Nip. The game map comes to Overpass Death Amusement Park. I am the commentator and playing machine."
…
First round of pistol round.
Heroic chose 4B and stavn went to the police station alone to find out.
After confirming that neither the chief officer nor the bandit was around, cadiaN called his teammates to clear the construction site.
As a result, no one was seen.
Where can the bandits go? The answer is obvious.
stavn boldly walked into the sewers to look for information, and then he saw five bandits looking at him, and gave them to him for free.
The action was exposed, and the bandit no longer hesitated, ran into the toilet, and headed straight for Pack A.
"Push the door and go to the toilet to return to defense!" cadiaN gave the order, and Heroic's return to defense began from the construction site.
TeSeS walked to the front, pushed open the iron door of the sewer, and started rushing up.
"Papa..."
It was impossible to attack point A without someone cutting off the sewer. The sound of Glock's gunshot immediately rang in Wang Che's ears.
However, Hampus, who was behind the scenes, did not expect that there would be so many people in CT. He shot twice but failed to find the head, and was directly taken away by Wang Che's USP headshot.
