CSGO E-sports Manager

Chapter 601 Pre-match Discussion
Seeing that the score on the screen was completely reversed, Coke in the live broadcast room had dull eyes and sighed helplessly:
"Brothers, feel free to scold if you want, AE fans, I'm sorry, it's indeed my problem."

Taro Yuan laughed and said, "Originally, the roll is almost [-], but you still insist on a super double, which is outrageous."

They couldn't figure out how such a dramatic scene would happen in today's semi-final.

AE's astonishing reversal not only stunned Coke and Yuyuan, but also left behind the VCs who were planning to go back to the hotel.

This kind of scene is really attractive. They just wanted to drive back after watching the first picture of the end of GG.

But they never expected that GG gave them a big job. They didn't have the ability to finish Figure [-] at all. Instead, they were chased by the Danes all the way, and finally completed the comeback in overtime.

This heaven-defying turnaround attracted all of them, and they were watched round after round.

"It's really overturned!"

The VC people in the lounge still feel dreamy.

Today's CSGO has developed to a certain stage, and even the strength gap of the entire first team is not as big as in previous years.This kind of overtaking with a big score has not appeared in people's field of vision for a long time.

Moreover, after GG changed the conductor, this event is still in their "honeymoon period", and the fans are very satisfied with the overall performance.

But they didn't expect that such a big job would be done in the semi-finals.

As the Triple Crown AE, everyone's personality is relatively calm, and they are basically fine if they are not arrogant in victory or dry in defeat.

But this BO1 map, such a huge comeback of the score, also made them emotionally agitated.

The moment the game ended, SAMA jumped up in the battle room, howling like ghosts and wolves.

The performance of the other people in the room was not much better, they were all shouting to release their emotions.

The VCs in the waiting room also expressed their understanding of this situation. If they experienced the same story, their emotions were going up and down, and they would be so excited.

"If nothing else happens, our opponent will be AE." Wang Yuning pondered for a while, then said.

The director shook his head with a smug smile on his face and retorted: "This is not good. If there is no accident, GG has already won the first picture. How could the plot evolve into this situation?"

Old Wang was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, but nodded again: "That's true."

In CSGO games, although the results can usually be deduced through the paper strength of both sides, there are always accidents.

An accident has already occurred in the first picture, and the second picture has not yet started. According to common sense, AE can win the victory, but it is hard to predict the possible variables.

After packing up his peripherals and belongings, it was getting late, and Meng De led the team back to the hotel.Along the way, everyone is deducing the tactics that may be used tomorrow, making preparations in advance.

NIKO is watching the live broadcast of IEM Cologne on the mobile phone.

Not long after they returned to the hotel, Picture [-] was over.

In the end, there were no surprises in the second picture. The astonishing comeback in the first picture made the mentality of GG's entire team unbalanced.

In the town of Purgatory in Figure [-], the skills and tactics of everyone in GG are far below their usual level.

The marksmanship was even more icy cold. NIKO pointed all the way in the car on the return journey, using his aim: "GG is like drinking fake wine, the shooting is too stinky."

With mental collapse on the one hand and high morale on the other, it was already clear at a glance who would win the game in the end.

The result of the final picture 16 is that AE won the Purgatory Town with a big score of 3:[-] and successfully qualified for the IEM Cologne final.

After knowing that the opponent was AE, the VCs in the hotel felt less pressure.

Once acquainted with acquaintances twice, their research on AE is not too small.

After a brief replay of today's game, Meng De let them rest early.

Although he is not quick to sharpen his guns before the battle, he thinks it is more important to maintain a good state.

……

With the arrival of the finals, there are more and more discussions about this game on the Internet.

When Mengde picked up his phone in the morning, he saw many pushes on the forum.

"Rational analysis, if GG didn't fall ill, would there be a chance to win AE and enter the finals?"

"VC and AE compete again, the game between two world-class snipers, S1mple and Lucky, who will win this time?"

"Looking forward to tomorrow's game, I feel that AE's state really has a chance to beat VC."

Among them, the most popular ones are naturally the snipers from both sides.

The players in the same TOP5 level are still snipers. Even though they have different styles, but because of their strong strength, they naturally have a lot of favorite audiences.

And because of the previous collision in the Copenhagen Major finals, the fan community is divided on who is the strongest sniper.

Power fans think it is S1mple, honor fans naturally trust Lucky who has achieved excellent results in the past, faith fans surround kennyS...

Most of the discussions focused on S1mple and Lucky, two more versatile snipers. Lucky's defeat in Copenhagen disappointed many fans.

Lcuky's performance during the entire stage of IEM this time is not too exaggerated. In the past, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Who would have thought that in yesterday's game, Lucky rose up against adversity and finally led the team to complete an amazing comeback.

This made many fans see hope, and the discussion on the forum suddenly increased.

"Have you seen S1mple? Everyone is looking forward to you." After training in the morning, Broccoli held her mobile phone and moved to S1mple's side. "Everyone wants to see you beat lucky. What do you think?"

"What?" S1mple was watching the beautiful anchor to raise his eyes, and when he heard Broky's voice, he replied casually, "That must be a trivial matter, so let's just fuck him casually, okay?"

"How can you speak bravely when you are defeated?"

S4mple, who already had some 3:1 looks, said disdainfully.

Although Lucky's strength is considered good, in his opinion, his playing is still a bit steady.

A sniper with this style of play has played the game a few times, and he basically knows the way, and he won't be under too much pressure.

"However." Broky had a smirk on his face, "Your average rating in IEM this time is only 1.10, where is your confidence?"

S1mple shook his hands, and said with a deep expression: "Young man, you are still young, you don't understand that I am a sniper who is strong when I meet the strong, I used to fight too easily, and I finally got a little stressed when I met AE, I will It's starting to work."

But there is one thing to say, S1mple also understands his own problems. His preparations for the game this time are not ideal, and the final results are relatively poor.

If it weren't for VC's continuous winning streak, the number of his fans would have multiplied.

Broky didn't believe S1mple's nonsense.

The two chatted casually.

After dinner in the afternoon, Meng De took them to watch the video of AE's game yesterday, and simply went through the important points without explaining too deeply, so as not to "think too much" when they entered the game .

After watching the video, the team members entered the lunch break state and needed to recharge their batteries.

There is a small difference between IEM Cologne and other competitions, that is, the final of this event still maintains a relatively retro tradition-the final is BO5!

This kind of BO5 game needs to be played at least three times, which requires extremely high requirements for a team's strengths and weaknesses.

The best-of-five match is a best-of-five match, and at least three matches must be played. For an "elderly man" like Wang Yuning, it is definitely a double test of body and energy.

After the players finished their lunch break, Meng De took the initiative to hold a pre-match meeting with the players of the first team.

I just got a good night's sleep, and now all VC members are in a full state.

Meng De scanned all the players in the room before speaking: "This evening is the final of IEM Cologne. Regardless of the final result, it will be our last match in Cologne..."

"We have almost practiced the tactics that should be practiced. Now everyone should maintain a good attitude..."

Wu Qiang added from the side: "Even if you really didn't get off to a good start, don't blow up your mentality. Maybe there will be a comeback of the century?"

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the room.

When GG was reversed yesterday, AE also did not start well. According to this logic, it is really not possible to get discouraged early.

"Brother Qiang is right, but there is another premise." Meng De added, "This final is a BO5. Under normal circumstances, it is normal to lose one map, and even two maps were lost in previous years in Cologne. happened before."

"So in today's game, even if you didn't play well in the first two maps and were taken down by AE, you all have to maintain a good attitude." Mengde still used yesterday's game as an example, "It's like the group B game that Brother Qiang said , GG’s mentality immediately collapsed after losing the first game, if they can adjust in time, they may not have a chance to play in the second picture.”

In the match of Group B yesterday, the gap in Figure 13 was not as big as imagined.At least play normally, GG will not be [-] points behind, the most important thing is that they were beaten in the first picture.The bad mentality affected the game in Figure [-] and made the situation go further.

Although Meng De thought that this kind of thing would not happen to the players, he still had to give them a "vaccination" before the game.

"So don't be discouraged too early and affect the future games."

"The opponent in the final tonight is AE. Although we beat them once in Copenhagen, I think you all know their strength so don't be careless."

Many players in the room nodded in agreement. AE can dominate the professional arena for two years. Whether it is the personal ability of the players or the overall strength of the team, they have experienced it firsthand.

In the previous victory, the two maps also ended in small wins, and they were far from reaching the point where they could underestimate each other.

Many people in the forum are saying that this is AE's revenge battle.

Judging from AE's performance this time, they also made a lot of preparations after that failure. Lucky also answered the interviews after the last few games, and looks forward to playing against VC again.

AE's loss to VC at the Copenhagen Major was a failure of its own, and because it failed in the local battle, it was followed by a lot of criticism in Denmark.

Obviously, in this competition, they also want to get back the field from VC.

But in the same way, VC doesn't want to lose either.

It is not easy to pass five stages in a game and reach the final. VC's ultimate goal is to be the champion.

But there is only one champion at a time!
Neither they nor AE want to be the biggest loser. This is the most fundamental contradiction between the two sides.

"We won't be careless." The director said unexpectedly, "I am very serious about this competition, because winning the Major championship is just an honor, and I want to continue to win."

"I want to keep putting stars on my ID, I want to win Grand Slams, I want to keep winning!"

What the director said was a bit arrogant, and it didn't seem like he would say it.

But Meng De smiled, he felt the confidence that the victory has always brought them.

"I can't guarantee that you will continue to win the championship and continue to win." Meng De said sincerely, "But you have to maintain the confidence of the director."

"To play CSGO is to be arrogant! Your attitude towards your career has always been modest, and you have always been submissive, and you will really fail later." Seeing what Niko seemed to want to say, Meng De immediately added, "Sweet potatoes are different."

"Let's talk about the game at night. I personally think that we are quite comfortable in the BO5 game. With 7 maps in service, we have a decent winning rate on all maps except the amusement park." Mengde said firmly, " AE will definitely ban Lost City in the future, so there are many maps that are beneficial to us.”

"So we have to make a fuss about the map order."

Old Wang pondered for two seconds, and said: "If AE wants to ban the Lost City, what should we choose for the first map? Sha Er or the building?"

The two maps of Sha Er and Mansion can give full play to their marksmanship advantages.

"Sha Er is better." Meng De talked eloquently, "If you play jumping buildings, SAMA's style of play is still quite disgusting. It keeps using props to fight against you. This kind of style of play is matched with the map structure, which is true. Some rogue."

"So if possible, try to choose Sha Er first. The opponent should let HH play on this map. They still play the old props control map mode. Don't worry too much. Just pay attention to Lucky's sniper point."

"Sha [-] is the key map, so it has to be chosen first. The priority of the two maps behind the town and nuclear needs to be moved forward."

"One more thing." Meng De looked at Wang Yuning, and then scanned the crowd, "We have no substitutes at this stage. Compared with AE, the energy consumed by Lao Wang will increase exponentially."

"So before the start of the game, I will prepare the general tactics for the first few rounds for you, but you still have to end the game as soon as possible, otherwise you may see a delirious old king in the later stage."

"But as I said at the beginning, don't put too much pressure on your heart, maintain confidence like a director, and go to tonight's game relaxed and happy..."
