In the second half of the game at the amusement park, LL relied on changes in rhythm to score several points in a row.
But with too little experience in competitions, VC.A seized the opportunity in a chaotic game and lost the rhythm of controlling points.
After losing this point, although they still worked hard in the follow-up, they could no longer score.
VC.A's momentum was like a rainbow, and a powerful wave of rhythm killed the game.
The score was finally settled at 16:8. All members of Team A had a rating of 1, easily defeating LL at the amusement park.
None of them performed explosively, and each of them performed very evenly.
The reason is that the overall strength of the team was crushed, leaving LL without much room to fight back.
"VC.A showed their due strength, and there were basically no big mistakes in this game." Coke summarized the BO1 in the live broadcast room, "Even though they were defeated by LL in the first and second halves,
I’m stumped, but I’ll find a solution soon.”
"VC.A is much stronger than we imagined."
Taro Yuan nodded and added: "But fans of LL don't have to be discouraged. Winning and losing in e-sports are commonplace. LL's defeat was expected, but they still showed their wonderful side in this game."
."
"Whether it was PP's triple kill in the toilet or Shroud's amazing 1V3 quadruple kill, they are all worth recalling. I think that 1V3 was the most exciting endgame in the past two days, with terrifying positioning ability!
"
This is not a compliment. In that endgame, Shroud indeed showed his strongest point - his extremely terrifying positioning ability.
With this skill of his, even the players in the VC team may not be able to surpass him.
However, Shroud's problem lies in his mentality. Once the team is at a disadvantage, it is difficult for him to maintain a high level of performance under pressure.
[You really played well today, LL has a promising future]
[Tactically crushed, LL couldn’t find a chance at all]
[It seems that in this challenger group competition, Team A is still one of the best]
The performance of the audience in the live broadcast room was quite dull. To be honest, even LL fans could clearly see the difference in strength. Unless there was an upset, VC.A's victory was already doomed from the moment the battle table appeared.
Already.
They also want to see what score VC.A can win, that's all.
After the game, the performance of everyone in VC.A was quite lackluster.
They gave each other high fives and hugged each other, and then talked about their performance in the previous game.
Meng De looked at the performance of his players. His expectations for this game were only the performance of everyone in LL. Although the two teams played a lot in the training match, there were many things in the training match that were difficult for both sides to compete with.
Not to mention the impact of offline status, the opponent's competition experience is obviously not as high as theirs.
Meng De straightened his clothes a little, then led the players to the opposite side and began to shake hands with LL after the game.
No matter how calm Shroud was, he was probably still disappointed at this moment. He raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and said to gla1ve: "I thought we had a chance."
gla1ve hugged Shorud and said very calmly: "We have worked hard in the past six months to win the championship. Moreover, you have too little experience in competitions. We have more experience."
"Come on, you must enter the legendary group 3-0. I put you 3-0 in my homework."
"You don't think so highly of us?" gla1ve also joked.
As we all know, in Major betting, 3-0 and 0-3 are filled in casually.
Shroud also smiled, still feeling a little disappointed.
The more calm gla1ve is, the more uncomfortable it makes them.
Team A's competition experience is simply overwhelming for them, but it's not that LL doesn't work hard, it's just that their level is not up to par, and their experience in some competitions has no effect.
After being truly exposed to first-tier competitions, if professional players then participate in second-tier competitions, their progress will be too slow.
Fortunately, LL has finally established a foothold in the second tier. There have been many first-tier matches in the past six months. I think their strength will improve dramatically in the future.
Meng De looked at Shroud who couldn't hide his disappointment, walked up to him and hugged him.
"Will you still be nervous about today's game?"
"There will still be some." Shroud didn't lie. Whether it was due to offline matches or opponents, he still couldn't let go.
"It's okay. Play more offline and you won't be nervous when you play." Meng De provided the most valuable advice to Shroud.
E-sports may have a better career plan and a more correct path.
But there is no shortcut, the road must be walked step by step.
No player is born strong, it's just that others can't see their downturn when they haven't grown up.
Since then, VC.A has achieved a good result of 2-0 in the challenger group.
According to the Major's format, as long as they win tomorrow's match against a team with the same 2-0 record, they can be declared promoted to the Major's legendary group.
However, once it comes to a game that requires promotion or elimination, the game will become a BO3 with a higher fault tolerance rate.
In other words, from now on, all VC.A needs to prepare for is BO3 games.
…
Although it was only a challenger group game, the director still released the MVP player of this game.
On this map, Xiaoju won the MVP with a record of 21/2/13.
Coke in the live broadcast room was a little surprised: "It's rare, Xiaoju won the MVP of this game, but he played quite well in the last few games today, and the spiritual sixth in the second half was even more impressive."
Taro Yuan nodded and replied: "Xiaoju was indeed very stable today. There were basically no mistakes. In the game of map control, it seemed that he only found a wave of opportunities."
"Xiao Ju's strength is quite good. He has never been able to produce any good data before. First of all, it is because he is positioned at the back and cannot handle the large forces in the front."
"Secondly, in terms of the division of roles in Team A, Xiaoju still has to play the role of props hand in most cases, so don't take Xiaoju clearly, you guys..."
[Team A’s performance today is indeed remarkable, and Xiaoju’s endgame was really outstanding]
[Xiaoju has always been very stable, a trustworthy back]
[The challenger group is 2-0, I hope I can qualify directly in tomorrow’s game! Otherwise my job will be in jeopardy]
[I’m convinced, why does the neighbor next door feel like he’s about to be busted by the Internet cafe team? 】
[Damn, it’s dangerous to work!]
…
"It's so easy to play a game at this pace." Broky sighed sincerely on the way back to the lounge.
He basically didn't need to think much in this game. He became a role player in the team and only needed to complete his tasks.
Xiaoju, who plays his best, understands very well: "You are just trying to be lazy. If the opponent is a little more experienced, the mid-term adjustment can be faster, and the head-on gun confrontation will be more difficult."
The ruthless Xiao Ju directly shattered Broky's dream.
"We're all relying on gla1ve's command this time."
gla1ve laughed naturally when he heard the praise from his teammates: "The opponent's experience is indeed too little, and their playing style lacks level. It is normal to lose the game, but they still have some spirit. Their continuous scoring momentum once surprised me.
"
"But the coach's information actually helped me a lot, otherwise it would be really difficult to break the game in a few rounds."
When he was on the offensive side in the first half, he relied on the LL position heat map on the tactical paper to carry out targeted bombing.
There were also a few rounds in the first half when they were able to score points. The strange things that the opponent wanted to try were all prepared in advance, and LL was immediately defeated.
"It's nothing. As a coach, that's all I can do."
The coach of a professional team, limited by the rules, can only exert very little strength in the game.
Most of the help for the team comes before the game.
Helping with training and providing information is the role that a coach can play.
Therefore, the games between him and other coaches are usually invisible before the game.
By rehearsing everything that may happen in the game, players can have a clearer understanding of their next opponents to the greatest extent possible.
As for the actual competition, the outcome depends on the performance of the players.
In the player tunnel, several people chatted very casually: "We are finished, who will beat whom in the next game?"
"It should be a 0-1 game, let me see." gla1ve took out his phone and looked at today's game schedule.
"RC beat Rainbow Horse." gla1ve said the next match.
"RC? When will their game start? How about we go and cheer them on?" Broky suggested.
"no problem."
"Speaking of which, I also miss Brother Just Yin."
"Watermelon, my watermelon."
A group of people just chattered and decided on the next journey.
After asking, they quickly found the RC Lounge.
"Just because of brother!"
As soon as SANJI opened the door to the lounge, he saw many acquaintances pouring in.
The spacious lounge became a little crowded for a while due to the influx of people.
SANJI had a happy smile on his face. He didn't expect that these guys would suddenly come to see them.
"Long time no see. We were all watching your game just now. You played very well."
SANJI wanted to pat Broky on the shoulder, but after thinking about it, it would be a little strange for him to do that kind of action at his height.
"Brother Chicken, you have to work hard! Kill the rainbow horse!" Broky couldn't stop talking to his acquaintances.
"Yes, yes, watermelon, kill them! Stand up!"
The players were in a commotion, and the RC coach was talking to Meng De.
Seeing Thief Cao bringing someone over, he was actually a little flattered.
After all, who is Thief Cao?
One person has led two TOP-level teams, and is even called a godfather-level figure in Asia.
His mood at the moment was like that of a fan who was extremely excited when he saw his idol in action.
Mengde casually chatted with the young RC coach about the training of the players, and finally made him relax.
After some communication, Meng De discovered that although this coach's various skills were relatively shallow, he was passionate.
After a brief chat, he came to SANJI and Xigua.
Everyone in the lounge looked at Meng De.
Meng De just patted SANJI on the shoulder and hugged Xigua.
"They're all well done. Come on for today's game!"
For some reason, SANJI felt a little sad at this moment. His shoulders twitched, and then he nodded with a smile: "We will definitely win!"
He originally thought that after entering the Major this time, he would only become rivals with his former club.
But at this moment, everything seems to have gone back to the past. He seems to have returned to the corner of VC. When he is in an advantage, he helps the team lose key props. When he is in a disadvantage, he will sacrifice the economy to let his teammates create opportunities; Xigua will shout loudly and be active after winning.
Atmosphere, S1mple will also cheer after getting a kill, and he will become the best role player in the team...
Xigua said funnyly from behind: "How about we fight the Rainbow Horse and simply kill them with a blast!"
The sound of watermelon pulled SANJI out of his memories.
The door to the lounge was knocked open again, and Major staff came over to remind them that they were ready to participate in the competition.
Everyone in RC said goodbye to Meng De, and with the blessings of their former teammates, they began to prepare for today's game.
Meng De was also quite emotional. He thought that SANJI and Xigua would disappear from everyone, but he never expected that they would still work hard to shine after leaving VC.
They did not stay at the Copenhagen venue for long, and started driving back to their hotel room when RC left for the game.
Because of the previous communication with RC, I naturally started watching the game after returning to the hotel.
This game doesn't have much research value for them, but it doesn't have to be a game with research value to watch.
They pay attention to the result of this game and expect SANJI and Xigua to win. This is enough.
After 27 rounds of fierce battle, RC finally won the victory in Purgatory Town with a score of 16:11.
At the moment of victory, in addition to domestic fans, everyone in the VC Hotel also shouted and cheered loudly.
Internet surfing experts such as Broky and S1mple sent their blessings on Twitter as soon as the game ended.
They were really happy for SANJI's victory.
After the game ended, Meng De led them to simply review the game against LL just now.
Because the game went smoothly, the review of this game was relatively simple, and only explained a few points where Meng De felt there were problems.
After the review was over, Meng De turned to Wu Qiang and asked: "Who will be our opponent tomorrow? The battle schedule should be announced by now."
"It's out." Wu Qiang had a strange expression on his face, "It's the Internet cafe team called IMO."
"IMO2-0 qualified?" There were waves of exclamations in the room.
This news shocked them all.
"Yesterday we defeated GOD in an upset, and today we defeated BIKG in an upset. This Internet cafe team is a bit wild!" Meng De said with a smile.
Wu Qiang looked at his phone and couldn't help but laugh: "The community is crying. IMO's performance was really caught off guard. Their breakthrough player 800K shouted during the game that he wanted to tear up the audience's homework. Now everyone calls it the IMO homework destroyer."
"Then tomorrow we will become everyone's homework guardians?" Meng De said in a relaxed tone. Rather than fighting against several old opponents, he wanted to fight with this new blood.
"Then let's see the strength of the job saboteur."
