CSGO E-sports Manager

"Bug is still looking for opportunities, and he still doesn't intend to give up this mess. The director is aware of his position, but the crosshairs haven't turned around, and he hasn't played Bug before."

"Bug shooting transfer took NIKO away!"

"It's over, can't we win this match point? S1mple chose to take the initiative, and the big sniper kicked his legs and didn't die!! Bug directly took out his cigarette and forcibly removed C4. He gave AE another breath, no way! !!"

There were deafening cheers and shouts in the Lanxess Arena.

Everyone couldn't believe this dramatic moment.

The fans of AE were excitedly carnivaling in the audience, and the supporters of VC were wailing in pain.

The director looked around, and he could clearly see the disappointment and worry in the eyes of the fans.

Figure [-] entered the match point, and the director still did not intend to give up. He focused on trying to find ways to make more contributions to the team.

But at the beginning of the round, the director was killed by a large sniper, which could not affect the battle situation at all.

There was also an inexplicable worry in his heart, no, it won't really go into overtime!

As if to confirm his inner sway, AE did not make any mistakes in this endgame. With his unwilling eyes, the game entered overtime.

The excited voices of AE fans in the audience became louder.

"VC's repeated attacks failed to achieve good results. On the contrary, AE took the lead in getting the match point in the fourth picture..."

"The director completed the endgame of 1v3, but there was no time to unpack. The game continued into overtime, and picture [-] began!"

Entering the last map, Wang Yuning's energy was completely exhausted, their offense began to become restrained, and the balance of victory was constantly tilting towards AE's side. Even though the director and NIKO played many beautiful endgames, they still failed to score With the initiative, AE got the match point first in the last map.

In a 1V2 endgame, facing the opponent's double pull, the director failed to withstand the pressure.

"It's over, AE is too stable, the director can't handle it!"

In the heart-piercing sound of Coke, this BO5 ushered in the end.

The director and his teammates comforted each other. After the handshake session after the game, they could only pack up their peripherals while watching their opponent lift up the dazzling trophy with reluctance...

At the moment when everyone in AE toasted, the whole world suddenly fell apart, and the din of the audience stopped abruptly.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" He opened his eyes, and the coach's concerned voice sounded next to his ears, and the director realized that he was sitting on the plane and was already on his way back to the base.

The director shook his head and said, "It's nothing but a nightmare."

He had some lingering fears, and that was the last thing he wanted to see. The biggest loser in e-sports, it was hard to feel the unwillingness to stand on the stage.

Competitive sports are cruel, and only one team can achieve its wish in each game.

With a lot of hard work, and with an extremely strong belief, the director will never want to watch each other lift the cup from the back of the stage.

"What kind of dream did you have? You are sweating profusely." Meng De was a little curious.

"I dreamed that in the Cologne final, the match point round was finally manipulated by a bug, and then the whole situation was out of control..." The director was a little sad, "We can only pack our things in the audience and watch the audience Shout out to AE..."

When NIKO heard this, he turned his head and said with a smile: "You are just worrying too much. The game is obviously over, and you still fantasize about losing the game."

"It's really appropriate. The unwillingness in the dream, I was really on the scene, and I just watched the other party take away the advantage, but there was nothing we could do."

Meng De didn't smile, and after a long silence, he said to the director: "If the endgame is really manipulated by the other party, maybe the ending will be the same as in your dream."

After all, the gap between AE's strength and theirs is not very big.

If that match point is overturned and the opponent gets the spear again, the ending of the story may really be different.

"Director, you are a bit paranoid about being persecuted." S1mple said to the director from the side, "Although I'm a bit stretched in the finals this time, even if I am dragged into picture five, I will stand up and play, and I will definitely not hold you back... ...You are under too much pressure."

"But there is pressure to be motivated." Broky answered with a smile.

Meng De listened to his ears, shook his head and retorted: "What are you talking about? Pressure will not be transformed into motivation, pressure will only be transformed into cases, and enthusiasm will be transformed into motivation. The director's main reason is that the desire to win and lose has begun to become stronger. , so there is this feeling of worrying about gains and losses."

Having just won the Major Championship and the IEM Cologne Championship, their recent performance is absolutely impeccable.

But the good performance in the competition and the status they are in now also give them a certain psychological burden.

Meng De planned to return to Hangzhou, so he asked a psychologist to give them a high-quality psychological counseling.

When he first entered the industry, Meng De would think that only when there is pressure will he use motivation, and these pressures will actually make the players perform better.

But with the accumulation of knowledge, his ideas are slowly changing.

Even if Mengde goes to the CSGO comment section to pick a random player and puts tons of pressure on him, can he become a top player through transfer as motivation?
This passer-by player may have had a high interest at the beginning, but the final result is only a 3-minute popularity.

The players under him have spent countless hours on CSGO. Taking S1mple as an example, the current game time is close to 2 hours.

If there is no passion, just a job, the pressure from the Internet and the surrounding family members, they would have given up this path long ago.

"So everyone can't be discouraged. We just won the IEM Cologne championship, and we also won an Intel Grand Slam series. Next, we only need to win two more Intel series championships, and we can become Grand Slam. Member of the club."

"Guys, the future is long."

Listening to the coach's lecture, the young Zaiwu had a smile on his face, and said to gla1ve next to him: "The coach said so, so much pressure."

"..."

Looking at the grinning Zaiwu, gla1ve shrugged: "I don't feel that you are under a lot of pressure."

"Why is there no pressure?" Zaiwu restrained his smile, "The director not only won the championship, but even won an MVP medal. In this situation, he is having nightmares."

"It makes me look heartless."

Broky smirked and said, "Don't worry, I'm also heartless."

The two laughed again.

It's not that Zaiwu doesn't care about the outcome of the game, nor is he really heartless.

It's just that he cares more about the scenery along the way than the end of the story.

Broky's evaluation of him is a black-bellied fun guy, who enjoys every tacit cooperation of the whole team, enjoys the joy brought by his teammates' bright moments, and often laughs at the opponent's mistakes.

However, he also hopes that the story can have a good ending.

"So in the next few months, the brothers have to work hard. We can't always let the first team shine, and we have to play something famous."

White clouds were surging outside the window, and the teenagers in the cabin looked forward to the future in an understatement. At this moment, only they themselves knew the weight of the words.

……

On the fourth day after the IEM Cologne finals, the VC team has already completed the return trip
This time, IEM Cologne came to a successful conclusion for them. As the club owner, Xu Qingru directly sent the club's bus to pick them up.

In fact, several managers in the VC fan group planned to organize a pick-up event. After all, VC has achieved good results again. As fans, they are also proud of it.

Because Meng De had specifically instructed that none of the contestants would disclose the itinerary of the return flight, it was naturally difficult for them to organize.

After all, there is still a big difference between fans in the e-sports circle and fans in the fan circle.

After boarding the bus, a group of people enthusiastically shared with Xu Qingru what they saw in Cologne this time.

S1mple sat down and turned on his mobile phone, and started his web surfing time.

Since VC won the championship in Cologne, the discussion in the forum has not stopped. A few days after IEM Cologne is the media day, they are very busy. It is only now that they have time to sit down and relax.

I searched for Coke's channel from a small broken station and found the recording of the final. It has been 4 days since the final, but when I opened the video, it still showed that 67 people were watching it.

S1mple has a new understanding of the popularity of CSGO, and he began to browse the comment area:

[From 3 o'clock last night to [-] o'clock in the morning, after looking at all four maps, I really feel that this is the most exciting game of this year. The whole process is full of quality bureaus, which is awesome]

[Both sides are full. I was a little sleepy until the fourth picture, but the score of the two sides on the train chased me, and I woke up directly.]

[The director is still too awesome, he played many key rounds, and abruptly dragged the situation back]

[AE seems to want to beat the old man, but VC still resists it]

[This game is absolutely wonderful. I thought Lao Wang would be unable to stand it in the second half, but I didn't expect him to not stretch his hips too much. The two teams in the finals this time are really exaggerated]

[AE fans can't sleep anymore, the director is all inside the quilt]

Seeing this, S1mple couldn't help but smile, and replied below:

[Is there such a good thing? 】

Here's a quick reply:
[Understood, now I'm going to turn fans to AE]

That's why S1mple has also grown to like surfing the web, because the netizens will always find him some fun.

Xu Qingru couldn't help laughing as she listened to the contestants telling all the interesting things about their time in Cologne.

When everything was almost finished, Xu Qingru finally said: "As for CSGO, I definitely don't understand you, but this time I won the championship. Although the prize money is not much, the club must have expressed it. After all, Cologne is not a Major. We Definitely have to be realistic.”

Hearing this, a group of people who were resting also smiled.

Most of the source of income for CSGO players comes from tournament bonuses, and the rest of the basic basic salary and live broadcast income are insignificant for a player who intends to make a difference in his career.

Why do you say that?

Because if you don’t plan to shine in the professional arena and choose to work hard on the live broadcast track, the final income structure will be different.

Just like WXS, most of his sources of income are live broadcasts, and there are basically no event bonuses.

Club bonuses are different from event bonuses.

Because this is entirely the club's bonus for them after winning the championship, it is considered a surprise.

To put it simply, even if Xu Qingru doesn't reward them with this money, it's normal.

But no one doesn't like whoring for nothing, and who doesn't want free bonuses!
"Also, when we arrive at the club, the director needs to prepare for an interview." Xu Qingru said.

The director was a little surprised: "Have all the interviews come to the club now?"

"It's Li Tu."

"I said why did you come to the base?" The director suddenly realized that among the domestic CSGO workers, Li Tu had also dealt with them a lot.

Being a CS:GO reporter isn't his job, it's purely a hobby.

As a reporter in the CSGO professional circle, at the beginning, it was just to communicate with some professional players and understand some stories behind the players. Later, it gradually changed to convey some thoughts of domestic audiences.

Basically every year, he will go to the Major's offline venues at his own expense, and randomly grab people for interviews after the game.

The content of the interview is also simple and clear-choose from the audience's questions in the comment area.

The unique interview method made all VC staff speak highly of him.

Broky, who interviewed every day during the tournament, was full of praise for his interviews.

"Hey, this MVP medal is really not that easy to get."

The director said quite Versailles in the bus.

On the third day after the end of IEM Cologne, they were in the media in the Cologne venue. On that day, he accepted several hours of interviews. Those beautiful reporters seemed to have sucked his energy out.

I didn't expect to come back to the base now and come again.

Fortunately, the director adjusted his mood very quickly. Anyway, after returning to the club, he has to prepare for the next game, and it is impossible to be idle. With this attitude, he accepted this interview very calmly.

Xu Qingru also explained that there will be several subsequent endorsements that require them to shoot promotional videos, and they need to make a little preparation, so don't wait for the specific shooting time to arrive, and another unexpected situation will arise.

After arranging the contestants, Meng De and Xu Qingru were left talking about work in the bus.

The players listened to the exchange between the coach and the boss, and gradually became familiar with the scenery along the way.

When approaching the club, NIKO saw a pig's knuckle rice shop outside the window, and said, "I want to eat pig's knuckle rice at noon."

Living in China for a long time, they have gradually adapted to the food here, and suddenly they can't eat it for nearly a month, and they are really hungry for a while.

Seeing NIKO's appearance, Xu Qingru smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be a celebration banquet tonight. You can order whatever you want at noon, and the club will reimburse you."

A few minutes later, the bus stopped slowly.

Everyone in VC got out of the car one after another, and in front of them was the huge blue and white VC team logo.

It's finally back!
