CSGO E-sports Manager
Chapter 472 Hold the Cup!
As the game freezes, the survivors drop their guns.
At the same time, the screen behind the player's bench that displayed the VC.A team logo suddenly burst into flames, and a winning logo was added above it!
The air column machine in front of the stage also sprayed out air waves, which meant that the music that would determine the winner sounded.
The roar of the audience reached the peak of this IEM Cologne series at this moment.
They are cheering and shouting with all their strength to celebrate the birth of the new king in this field!
"The champion of this IEM Cologne series!" Although Henry was not optimistic about VC.A before, but after the whole finals, he was also completely impressed by the charm of Team A. At this moment, he wished them willingly, "The final winner VC.A from Asia!!"
Coke in the live broadcast room took a deep breath, and the excitement was rippling deep in his heart. As a commentator, he couldn't even calm down.
"It's hard to imagine how many difficulties they have gone through to get to this point. In the previous Asian Invitational Tournament, in the Shanghai Metropolitan Stadium, GOD gave VC.A a painful lesson, allowing them to only get the semi-finals in their own territory "Coke recalled that game, and even felt the thrill of revenge in his heart, "GOD stepped on VC.A in the Asian Invitational Tournament and won their first trophy after returning to the first-line competition. Today we are at IEM Cologne. On the field, repay them with a 2:0!"
He thought of his helplessness when he was an on-site commentator in Shanghai Arena. At that time, VC.A had already worked very hard, but because of poor condition and running-in problems, he finally fell to the semi-finals.
Although the strength of VC.A was already in the top four at that time, it was already good.
But the problem is that the place of the competition is Shanghai!
No matter how relieved he was at the time, he still felt pity in his heart.
Taro Yuan kept laughing beside him, and he said loudly in the live broadcast room: "After a long period of invisible people, VC.A can finally say that we also have our own championship champions, and they are no longer The teams that came to the forefront of the world rely on their attendance rate, but rely on their real strength!"
As a veteran commentator, Coke and Taro Ball have countless fans in China.
They are one of the most famous anchors of CSGO, and the various equipment in the live broadcast room are the best in the market.
But at this moment, under the enthusiasm of netizens, the live broadcast room began to freeze.
[Fuck Team A!Really won the championship! 】
[I had a hunch that I could win GOD, but I won it 2-0, I really didn't expect it]
[It was directly broken by TOP2, the blue horse knight is really going to prison]
[I was dumbfounded by that wave of sky fire, Team A's tactics are too exaggerated]
[Stop talking, let the roommate learn the props now, and let the town go! 】
[Don't go, just fuck the opposite side]
A group of people in the audience also applauded the brother team for winning the championship. Amidst the shouts and cheers at the scene, they had their share.
"I didn't expect them to really withstand the pressure." S1mple sighed in his heart.
GOD's resilience is the strongest team they have encountered. They had a fierce confrontation with GOD before, so they also feel the difficulty of GOD.
At that time, they were eliminated because they did not withstand the pressure.
Now that the second team has won the championship, they both feel emotional in their hearts and sincerely wish the second team.
They also knew the situation of the second team. Without a champion to take care of themselves, all the results became a bit embarrassing.
Now that I have won the IEM Cologne trophy, no matter what, the follow-up comments will disappear.
This is e-sports, as long as you have results, all obstacles will gradually disappear.
"They also deserve this championship. Today's final was really good." NIKO said next to him.
The second team's ability to withstand pressure made him a little envious.
His family knows his own affairs, and once it reaches the second half of the competition, his own performance will start to be unstable.
He didn't want to be a breakthrough for the team, but he couldn't find a way to maintain his state for a while.
But soon, under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, NIKO threw away the entanglement in his heart, and looked at the VC.A people who were in front of him.
……
After confirming that they won the game, several teammates pressed 'GG' almost skillfully, threw away their guns, and shouted excitedly.
"Win, we won!!"
Broky took off the earphones directly, then found someone and jumped on it.
His actions also inspired others, and there was no place to hang on Meng De's body in an instant.
"Okay, okay, my waist can't stand it anymore." It's okay for Meng De to be hung on Broky at first, and then other people have the idea of following him one after another, so scared that he hastily tore him off.
Meng De also took off his earphones after the game.
Sound-isolating headphones can't isolate all the sounds on the scene. During the game, they can still hear the sound of the scene.
But after taking off the earphones at this moment, the overwhelming shouts from the audience came like a tidal wave, like a real wave of sound.
Meng De listened to the sound of the scene, even though he had the experience of being on the championship stage, he still felt his heart beating faster and his adrenaline soaring!
How does it feel to have tens of thousands of eyes on you?
Proud and proud from the heart, and at the same time, some legs are weak, and the soles of the feet are a little erratic.
The director showed Meng De the camera, and the audience at the scene also realized that Meng De was watching them.
The response came very quickly.
"VC.A!! VC.A!!"
"VC.A!! VC.A!!"
Their team name was shouted over and over again by tens of thousands of spectators.
Meng De also had a sense of pride in his heart. He smiled, looked at the audience, and then stretched his hands.
Gla1ve and the others looked at Meng De's actions and couldn't help laughing: "The coach is here to preach again?"
The previous few times, it was just a brief interaction between Meng De and fans, but this time others chose to join in and interact.
"call!"
As Mengde clapped his hands upwards, the Viking battle cry began to rise.
The audience in the audience also cooperated very well, and a Viking battle cry of tens of thousands of people was going on in an orderly manner.
As Meng De gradually accelerated, the Viking battle cry became more intense.
With the final and loudest "Hoo!!", everyone on the scene shouted and offered their own applause.
After a set of actions, the emotions of several people in the team were very high.
Brother Electronics laughed happily beside him, but his expression was still a little confused. He stood next to Meng De and asked, "Is that how we won the championship?"
This is the first competition for Brother Electronics to join VC.A. Isn't it too easy to win the championship so quickly?
You must know that according to his previous career plan, at least he had to get used to it for about half a year before talking about the championship of the competition.
But how does happiness come so easily now?
It made Brother Electronics feel like a dream in front of him.
Meng De led the team members out of the contestants' seats and came to the middle of the stage.
Broky pointed to the fiery VC.A team logo behind him: "Of course, we won!!"
He thinks Electronic Brother's fussy attitude is a bit funny.
But looking at the situation at the moment, everyone was shouting their names and cheering for them, and his eyes were a little blurred for a while.
It has been more than a year since I entered the profession, and this journey has not been easy.
As the most introverted club, VC has a lot of training pressure. Even when there are many games, they need to play more than 100 maps a month.
This is just a game, and they have had many conflicts.
Now all the sweat before seems to be worthwhile, and every hard training before has become commendable.
Broky sincerely thanked himself for not being lazy in training.
He turned his head and said loudly to Meng De, "Don't forget the KFC that the coach talked about three times!"
In the noisy sound, Meng De could only hear a few words of KFC, and he smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, 30 meals are OK!"
He is also speechless about Broky, is it interesting to think about that broken family bucket every day?
Or is he the kind of stingy guy who can't afford KFC?
"Go and shake hands with the other side." Meng De didn't let the happy mood remain silent in his heart, and the necessary procedures still need to be completed after winning the championship.
After speaking, Meng De led the team to the other side of the stage, and many cameras on and off the stage followed up, and close-ups of the team began to appear in the middle of the big screen in the Lonnie Arena.
The screen showing the team logo behind the GOD player bench has dimmed and gone out at this moment, just like their results.
IEM Runner Up, Biggest Loser!
If someone told them before the start of the match that VC.A would be the champion of this series, they would definitely scoff.
Because although VC.A has good strength, in their impression, they only got a 'good' score.
If VC wins the championship, it can be said.
But it's just that the team that has not been the favorite to win the championship has defeated them, and it will be even more important to win the IEM Cologne trophy later.
Who would have thought of this!
After losing this game, all GOD members were in a bad mood.
Although this year's IEM Cologne started, they did not go straight to the championship, they just took one step at a time and tried their best to fight back.
But after beating VC first and then winning AE, they inevitably had the idea of winning the championship.
But no one expected that the real strength displayed by VC.A in the finals caught everyone's attention.
They have the heart to say where they made a mistake and find a reason for their failure.
But looking at the 2-0 score, I couldn't say anything.
Skills are not as good as people!
The blue horse knight's mentality has been adjusted very well, even though he is the last person to lose in today's game.
But the 'cell boss' has been around for a long time, and he also knows that the game is over, no matter how much he puts negative pressure on his teammates, it will not help.
CSGO is a team game after all, all he can do is to work harder next time.
When waiting for VC.A to shake hands as the winner, he even had a smile on his face.
"You played very well, really well." The blue horse knight said to Brother Electronics.
"Thank you." Electronic brother's plastic English is obviously not enough for him to have a good interaction.
Gla1ve was on the side talking with GOD's commander for a while.
RAS didn't even come back to his senses at this moment, the impact of the sky fire was really too great for him.
He couldn't help asking, "Did you come up with the idea of setting fire to Area B, or did you plan to use that tactic before?"
He wanted to be sure that it was because of his mistake that the opponent found an opportunity.
It was also because the opposite side induced them to hand in cigarettes, which forced Area B to become a 'smoking-free area'.
"There was this tactic before." gla1ve gave an affirmative answer without concealing it, "It just happened to be a good time, and it can be used."
RAS breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was really afraid that gla1ve thought of it on the spur of the moment, it might be difficult for him to accept it.
Gla1ve actually has a high opinion of RAS, a not-so-famous conductor.
In this IEM Cologne series, he has played against many conductors.
But the most difficult and quickest response was the RAS in front of him.
When GOD won VC and AE consecutively, many people said that GOD was upset.
But after the finals, gla1ve knew clearly that GOD has real materials.
Their victory comes from strength!
"I hope that next time we play against each other, we can show the audience this wonderful game again."
RAS replied with a smile: "We won't lose as badly as this time."
After the players of VC.A shook hands, they started to return the same way.
Watching them walking towards the middle of the stage, RAS showed a hint of envy in his eyes.
It is difficult to describe the feelings of the biggest loser in words.
Watching the other party become the new king under the enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of people, enjoying their highlight moments under the eyes of everyone.
This scene might have been available to them.
Now, he could only tidy up the peripherals hastily and return to the player channel.
After all, the blue horse rider's mentality was not adjusted so well. Looking at the VC.A people standing in the center of the stage, he still sighed:
"We screwed up everything."
……
After shaking hands with GOD, everyone from VC.A came to the middle of the stage, where the IEM Cologne trophy was placed.
Several photographers beside me have found the best angles and guaranteed to record every moment of holding the cup.
Along the way, the audience shouted their names again.
When everyone reached the trophy, the shouts around gradually subsided.
It's just that everyone knows that this pacification is not a cessation, but for the eruption of greater power after a short silence.
"Who will come first?"
"kennyS!"
"Broky come."
"How about the coach come first."
After winning the championship, they seemed to have the arrogance to look down on the world.
But when he came to the trophy, he was a little humble for a while.
Broky suggested at this time: "Coach, why don't we hold together again."
Meng De didn't answer, but the rest of the people had already surrounded him.
Several people formed a circle in front of the trophy, feeling each other's teammates' strength from their arms.
"Coach say something," Broky urged.
"Then say something." Mengde looked around, and the familiar faces of the team members made them feel quite emotional, "The efforts we have put in for today's championship may be unimaginable to others."
"But what I want to tell you is that all your hard work is worth it!"
"Today, you made everyone in the audience cheer for you!"
"Now, let's tell them that today's champion is!!!"
"VC!!!"
Meng De wore the team flag and put his hands on the trophy with the players.
"3, 2, 1!"
Under the strength of all the staff, the considerable trophy was easily lifted into the air.
Blue and white light strips fell from the sky and floated on everyone.
Fireworks around the stage began to erupt, forming a bright light.
The hustle and bustle next to the stadium was deafening, and the players could vaguely hear someone calling their ID.
The lights of the scene were focused on them, and they were the center of the world at this moment!
Everything in the Lonnie Stadium at this moment constitutes the most beautiful picture.
At the same time, the screen behind the player's bench that displayed the VC.A team logo suddenly burst into flames, and a winning logo was added above it!
The air column machine in front of the stage also sprayed out air waves, which meant that the music that would determine the winner sounded.
