Chapter 574 End of offseason and version update
While the French fans are immersed in the great joy of kennyS returning to FG, the offseason is also coming to an end a little bit.

The departure of kennyS made the second team of VC suffer a lot of mental setbacks.The good results of the last Major allowed them to enjoy it in the future, but they did not expect K Bao to propose a transfer on his own initiative.

At that time, Broky and Xiaoju were very angry and disagreed with kennyS's choice.

But when they left, kennyS even came over to say hello to them, and they couldn't blame him.

The change of the team this time is not purely due to emotional reluctance, it is also a big blow to the entire team.

The second team is a team that plays teamwork. Any change in position can have great fluctuations in performance. After all, the coordination of positions between team members and the tacit understanding of props cannot be completed overnight. They all rely on time. Grind it a little bit.

Just like Brother Electronics, why didn't Meng De directly make him the main force?

It is because the tacit understanding between him and the team is not as high as that of Tig, and it may not be as effective as Tig's presence on the field.Stronger than AE, after the loss in this Major, they still did not choose to change the lineup, because the team's tacit understanding requires a lot of time and cost.

The departure of kennyS and Tig leaves two vacancies in the second team of VC, and the overall strength may also decline very seriously.

Now the first team is already the number one team in the world, and it is considered one of the best in terms of strength. Before the start of the Major, Meng De does not need to focus on that for the time being. He will help them complete the resumption training after training and games on weekdays. Enough.

But even if the focus is on the second team, Meng De's expectations for them will not be too high in the future, after all, the strength of the entire team fluctuates too much.

Although he pulled Zywoo and DD up to complete the lineup, even if they are two very talented, it will take time for the rookie to adapt to the game.

Meng De's goal for them in the following competitions is to gain a firm foothold in the S-class competition.

But even with a new lineup, the departure of kennyS left the second team with a problem:
Next, who will play the sniper position?

A good sniper, whether advancing the map when attacking or actively stealing the first kill when defending, can affect the entire battle situation.

After discussion, the entire team came up with two options.

One is that Broky, who was originally a deputy sniper, will take on the role of the main sniper, and zywoo will fill Broky's original position as the deputy sniper and backup gun. In the past two years, he existed as the team's deputy sniper, and the level of the sniper rifle It is also obvious to all that although it is not as good as kennyS, its strength is still at the first-tier level.

But the price is that the position in the team needs to change more, and the level may fluctuate even more.

The second option was proposed by Meng De as a coach, let zywoo try to become the main sniper, Broky's position remains unchanged, and DD and electronic brother will rotate according to the situation.

This solution seems relatively reasonable. After all, the positions of gla1ve and others do not need to be changed, only the newcomers need to adapt.

"It's just, can these two newcomers really adapt?"

"kill!"

After a day of training, dinner was not ready yet, everyone in VC ushered in a rare rest time, they gathered in the lounge to play Three Kingdoms Kill.

"Flash!" S1mple evaded gla1ve's attack, and then added, "Grewu, don't underestimate Big Sweet Potato, last time he played in the youth training league, he was one-on-one. Can a kill clip knock him off?"

Not long after the youth training league, because of Zywoo's outstanding performance, some suspicious clips caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.If it wasn't because he had already joined VC, then there would be another time in Zywoo's life that was said to be hanging on the wall.

The director played a piece of good harvest, took a piece of peach from it, and took a mouthful of blood, then turned to look at Zywoo who was in class beside him: "Some people are also bewildered, and they start to think about it when they see a wonderful picture all day long. , the few of us covered our IDs, and if we were promoted by them, we would be said to be hanging on the wall... Not to mention the truth, I also watched Fanshu's performance in that youth training game, and he played really well, so Gray Wu, don't underestimate others."

"I know he's very capable, but..." gla1ve looked at the cards in his hand, and sighed again, "Isn't this a new lineup that's still being adjusted? I'm still a little nervous."

In fact, they have tried two different plans in the training games, and want to compare the data to see how to play better.

But the effects of the two schemes are actually not bad, and this is the most difficult thing for gla1ve.

"Thunder kill! gla1ve, I told you not to think too much. After all, it is the coach who really makes the decision. It is useless for you to think so much now." NIKO's thinking is very clear.

The current lineup of the first team does not need to be changed, and it is particularly exciting compared to the second team.

And after winning the Major championship, although there is not much update and change in tactics.But everyone in VC can see that their overall combat effectiveness is completely different.

Maybe it's because of winning the championship and really seeing the big scene in the Major, the self-confidence of everyone in the first team is almost full now. After the offseason, their recent training match win rate is ridiculously high.

This is also an important reason why Meng De dared to put them in stock.

"Hey, you're all talking about the dynasty. Our second team is still working hard to qualify for the competition. The gap is too big." gla1ve threw away the cards in his hand, "We have to keep working hard."

Just as they were chatting happily, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and a familiar voice came from the door.

"Put everything in your hand away, and all eyes look at me."

"coach!"

"coach."

Meng De nodded, then picked up the phone, and said, "The resort company just released an update announcement, and I shared the content in the group, everyone take a look."

"This update is huge and important!!"

Hearing the coach's serious tone, the Three Kingdoms Killers and Bot players stopped what they were doing and picked up their phones one after another.

gla1ve opened the link in the group and quickly checked the contents.

"[CSGO major update]

Private Match: Friends can be matched by…

Short-term game: 5V5 competitive mode experience and experience rewards, 16 rounds to determine the outcome, lasting about 25 minutes...

……

Game content changes:

Disposable grenades: Instead of learning and forgetting to learn grenades, it is better to give them to teammates who can throw them. Grenades can now be discarded in most game modes. "

"Grenades can be discarded!!!"

The astonishment in gla1ve's eyes almost overflowed. As the commander of a tactical team, props are their strong point.

He clearly knows how much this update will change the future career structure.

"Coach, is this true or not?" gla1ve still wanted to confirm.

Meng De replied: "I also just saw the news released by the resort agency. The big action finally doesn't have to come tomorrow, but this update has too much impact on the profession."

Items can be discarded, does this have a big impact on the tactics in the profession?
Absolutely huge!

Team A used to have a tactic that is still fresh in the entire professional circle, that is, on the defensive end of Purgatory Town, adopting 4A1B positions, constantly adjusting personnel positions, and using smoke bombs to block B general to delay time.

Theoretically speaking, one smoke bomb for 15 seconds, and five smoke bombs can always provide sufficient defensive strength in area B, making it impossible for the opponent to judge their position information.

This tactic was relatively advanced before, but because of the different prop holders, different players are required to defend the B area respectively.

But now after the update, this tactic can be perfectly implemented by one person.

You only need to buy the smoke bombs at the beginning, give all the props to one person, and let him play area B alone.

"Damn it, the professional ecology has to undergo drastic changes now." The kid said.

Meng De nodded: "Isn't it? In the next professional circle, it will be more difficult to process information for both offensive and defensive parties."

"Indeed, now it's difficult to judge how many people are in a certain area from the use of props."

Take Banana Road as an example. Under normal circumstances, if you are a bandit and read that the opponent lost three fire or three mines on Banana Road at the beginning of the game, then speeding up and switching to A is a good choice.

But now props can be discarded, so a 2B Banana Dao can even throw 4 fires, judging the number of opponents from such props is likely to be misleading.

"The offense will definitely be better." Lao Wang said, "Whether it is the wave of tactics or the connection before the offense, it is more comfortable now."

"How to say?" NIKO didn't understand the meaning of Lao Wang's words.

Lao Wang explained: "For example, this is definitely a super big strengthening for the second team!"

"Huh?" Everyone in the second team looked at Lao Wang with some doubts, not knowing why the second team was involved.

Old Wang didn't hold back anymore, and explained directly: "Just like Brother Electronics, he often starts the game with half blood or even residual blood..."

Brother Electronic pulled Meng De: "Slander, he slandered, coach, he slandered me!"

Everyone ignored Brother Electronics, after all, everyone knew that Brother Electronics was such a lucky guy.

Lao Wang also continued: "...So, the second team often faced this situation when they were attacking. The bloody electronic brother had a bunch of props in his hand, so he had to retreat to the back to throw them. Or in another situation, Brother Electronics is full of blood, and others have residual blood, but only he has props on him, and he, who is full of blood, must throw the props behind."

"So, after the update, when attacking, you only need to throw the props on the people with residual blood, so the success rate will be higher?"

NIKO also figured it out. Sometimes after a wave of confrontation in the early stage, the team's state may not be very good.But because the remaining items are different, some tactics will eventually lead to very rigid playing.

At this stage, the replacement of bombardiers can be realized, and the tactical role is huge.

"In this case, wouldn't the offensive end of all maps be greatly enhanced?" NIKO came to a conclusion.

The director retorted: "No, look at the one below. The map of Sha Er has changed, and a wall has been built above the bandit's secret passage. This Sha Er is weakening the bandits."

The novel content made everyone in VC start chatting in the lounge. All the players here are top professional players, and their understanding of this game can be regarded as top-notch. Everyone is very familiar with the two updated new tactics, as well as the offensive and defensive skills of Sha Er. The great changes that had taken place on both sides were discussed, and it was not until after dinner that these discussions began to die down.

However, the discussion about this update on the Internet is also huge.

Many professional players tweeted their surprise, and the Chariot Club even posted a bewildered emoji.

As the world's No. [-] Sha Er, their offensive side on this map is quite strong. Now they suddenly built a wall for Sha Er Middle Road, which completely changed the entire ecology of Sha Er.

They also want to maintain the title of "No. [-]", and they have spent a lot of effort.

……

Soon, under the expectation of the audience and players, various competitions after the offseason gradually began.

First of all, the first major event after the offseason, the IEM Cologne qualifiers have begun.

This qualifier is not difficult for the A pair to qualify, and it can even be regarded as a warm-up match during the offseason, but because of the adjustment of the new lineup and the adjustment of the CSGO update, it is not a trial and error for them this time. What a loss.

After going offline in Cologne, the time difference was simply adjusted, and Team A entered the game state.

The competition system of the entire qualifier is quite simple, using a double elimination system, 16 qualifier teams compete for 8 places in the main match.

The first match adopts the BO1 mode, and the promotion or elimination matches adopt the BO3 mode.

On the first day of the qualifiers, the second team adopted a lineup in which Broky became the main sniper.

Facing the GOD youth training team whose main players have already been promoted, this hastily formed GOD youth training team is obviously not enough to watch. Broky started his explosive kill in this game. There is no suspense in the result of the game. VC.A finally He won the game with a big score of 16:1, and that score was dubbed "one point of fatherly love" by netizens.

In the BO3 match on the second day, Team A faced Samba, a Brazilian team that was obviously more powerful.

In the first map of this game, Team A still chose to let Broky play the role of the main sniper. This map was not ideal. Although the final score was very close, they only lost a few small rounds, but Meng De Neither the result nor the process is very satisfactory.

Broky's sniper rifle is really good, but as a sniper, Broky's props feel quite magical, and he lost several rounds because of his faulty props.

This is also his old problem. When he was a rifleman before, Broky could tilt all the props out in the early stage, and it was enough to shoot directly in the front.

As a sniper, in fact, most of them are in the middle and late stages of the team, and often need to complete the team's prop requirements.Obviously, Broky couldn't finish it.

So in the second map, Meng De decisively pressed Broky to the rifle position.

Several other people have also seen Broky's faults, and they all understand that changing to zywoo may be a better choice.It's just that gla1ve is still worried about whether zywoo can maintain his performance in training games in real offline games.

Soon, zywoo proved himself to be a monster.

在担任队伍狙击手这个位置之后，BO3的后续两张地图，A队分别以16:6和16:8的比分将桑巴舞给击败。

Among the three maps, zywoo won the MVP of the BO88 with an exaggerated stat of 52-3.

Fans have a clearer understanding of this naive little fat man, and the doubts about zywoo in Team A have disappeared.

Team A, which has won two consecutive victories, also entered the main match of IEM Cologne very smoothly.

After dealing with the problems in the team, because of zywoo's amazing performance, everyone in team A is looking forward to the next game.
