CSGO E-sports Manager

Chapter 623 The Baldy's Interview

"Is there any time recently? Okay, okay, can I just make an appointment this afternoon? Then let's say it like this, let the players reserve time."

Li Tu received Meng De's phone feedback and got a positive answer. He was in a very good mood and even hummed a song.

In a blink of an eye, VC has become the only team in the CSGO professional circle. Looking back carefully, it seems a bit like another day.

He clearly remembered that when VC finished the Fog City Major for the first time, he did the interview after winning the first game.

At that time, the entire team of VC was extremely young. Unexpectedly, in just two years, they have grown from that unknown small team to the current number one in the world, and even started to build their dynasty.

Li Tu packed up his interview equipment, took the interview script that he had already typed, and booked a high-speed rail ticket on a travel app on his mobile phone.

Looking at the time, it only takes less than 4 hours, and the main thing is convenience.

VC has now slowly entered the world. In addition to feeling the increasing popularity of CSGO in China, Li Tu’s most intuitive feeling is that he can interview these top players more easily. After all, the VC base is in Hangzhou. The high-speed rail ticket is here.

As a domestic reporter who tends to interview players, his interviews generally only have the opportunity to start during the Major period. The reason is very simple-poor!

CSGO is a cup game. Unlike League of Legends, where the main competition area is in China, CSGO games are played in different places on the earth. Although Li Tu's income is not bad, he can't afford to fly to all over the world every day.

Therefore, only during the annual Major period can we go offline to catch players for interviews, giving the audience an extra bridge to communicate with the players.

However, as the strength of VC continues to grow and its international influence is growing, as a practitioner in the industry, Li Tu has gradually felt the benefits of it.

First of all, there are a group of top players in China, so there is no need to go abroad to interview.

Secondly, because the domestic CSGO performance is getting better and better, and the popularity of the game continues to rise, the officials of major competitions are gradually focusing on the Chinese market. Just this year, there are 4 large-scale competitions in China.

Whether the audience went to watch the game offline, or he went to the venue to interview top players, the cost was lower.

Li Tu can imagine that the popularity of domestic CSGO will only increase in the future.

As an industry practitioner and loyal fan of CSGO, he is very much looking forward to the arrival of that scene.

……

After finishing the afternoon training, the director followed the coach to the club's gym.Now he is no longer the young boy with bangs drooping on his forehead two years ago, and his gradually opened face has become the second face of the VC club.

After finishing the stretching training with Meng De, the director heard Broky's voice from the door of the gym:
"Director, the bald man came to interview you." After speaking, he seemed to be afraid of being beaten, so he quickly slipped away.

The director heard the reputation and looked over. The person standing at the door was wearing a black pullover sweater, and his slightly sparse white hair showed his personality even more.

The hairstyle is quite bold, but the amount of hair is a little less... The director gave Li Tu a score in his heart when he saw Li Tu's look.

The director took the water cup and other personal belongings and greeted him.

"I thought you weren't coming back today?" The director shrugged and smiled helplessly.

Although he did have an appointment with Li Tu today, it was almost dinner time, so he naturally thought that Li Tu had something to do and missed it.

"Hey, don't mention it." Li Tu smiled wryly, "The high-speed rail was late, and then when we arrived in Hangzhou, there was an evening rush hour, and people were jammed."

"Then I'll go back and change my clothes, and then we'll start somewhere else?" The director made a long story short. After the interview, he still planned to continue exercising.

Li Tu took a look at VC's gym, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to the director: "Why don't I delay your fitness, we will shoot in the form of a VLOG, you are exercising, and then I will interview casually beside you. "

Listening to Li Tu's plan, the director raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Is this possible? Is it too casual?"

"On the contrary." Meng De had just finished a set of deadlifts and was slightly panting.

After taking a sip of water and taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he explained: "In fact, fans still want to see some of our appearance outside of the game, just like the GG team. Although their strength is not top-notch, the fans are sticky. Sex is very strong, the reason is that they like to play tricks, and also like to interact with fans on the Internet."

This is something that VC can’t compare to. In contrast, Meng De is more focused on specific tasks, such as the development of tactics, how the players are doing recently, and whether there are any good seedlings in the VAC League recently.

Under the influence of his style of work, most of the players in the VC club are also mostly practical. Apart from training all day long, exercising in the club's gym is a rare relaxation time for them.

There is very little communication between them and the fans.

Nowadays, the number of fans of VC clubs around the world is a bit exaggerated. Although CSGO fans are not like fan circle fans, who want players to come out for business every day, they also like to watch their favorite players. What kind of state is it.

"But do I have to change my clothes?" The director tugged at his black vest, which seemed a bit inelegant to wear in an interview.

With a smirk on his face, Li Tu looked at the director's muscular arm: "You worry too much, the fans will be so happy."

The director also said that it doesn't matter, changing clothes would have wasted time, and Li Tu was still tinkering with the camera, so he found the equipment himself and started today's training.

After moving the joints, the director walked to Mengde's side, waited for the end of Mengde's deadlift, adjusted his posture, and started the deadlift.

Li Tu has adjusted the camera and started recording the beginning of a video.

After making a brief opening remark, he pointed the camera at Meng De and the director:

"Two, say hello to everyone."

Meng De waved his hand towards the camera, the supervisor was deadlifting, so he had no time to pay attention to him.

After a set of deadlifts was over, the director sat on the bench next to him and rested between sets, and Li Tu also started the official interview:
"Hi director, first of all congratulations on your victory in the IEM Cologne finals just now, because of your good personal performance, you also won the MVP medal. It has been a few days since the end of the game, how do you feel about the entire IEM Cologne How about it?"

The director took a sip of water, organized his language, and said: "The final result must be satisfactory. After all, I have won the championship, and I have maintained a good state throughout the entire schedule... But this is the first time we have met in a BO5 match. , and the final result is not very good.”

"This effect is not good, I think you are a little humble." Li Tu only thinks that this is the director's self-effacing. Now the effect is not good, and he has already won the first place in the world, so the effect is good. Could it be that the other teams have no way out.

"How do you think your teammates are playing?"

"My teammates played very well. Everyone played as a whole in the final. This kind of game is very comfortable. Even though the BO5 lacks experience, we still worked hard to find a way to overcome the difficulties."

"Is AE putting a lot of pressure on you? It stands to reason that we just ran into them at the Major..." Li Tu was confused.

"The gap between us and them is not very big," said the director.

Li Tu thought that the director was too modest, and he said in an exaggerated tone: "You have won them twice in the top tournaments in a row. Isn't the gap obvious? The score gap in the Major is very small, but this time it is 3 -1 lead, two maps ahead."

Recalling that dream, the director shook his head and retorted: "It seems to be 3-1, but the result may be much smaller than we imagined."

Li Tu feels that his level may not be in place, and it is difficult to understand the doorways, so he simply continues to the next question:
"This is a personal question of mine. After you won the Major championship, will you suddenly lose your goal?"

This is a question he is very curious about personally. Just like Li Tu worked hard for a long time before, he finally got the S segment on the Youxia platform. After a few days of simply posting it on Moments to show off, he suddenly lost the motivation to continue to improve his score .

After all, in this game, he has already entered the easiest level, and if he goes up, that is the professional level-he has self-knowledge.

Compared with professional players, he thought the situation might be similar. The Major is the highest level of honor in CSGO competitions. He is very curious about whether players will suddenly lose their direction after they have gone through untold hardships and finally won this honor.

The director sighed, did not answer for a few seconds, turned his head and said with a smile: "Of course, after we just won the Major championship, our entire team started to take a vacation...During the vacation, I watched a Looking at the medals on my personal account, I haven’t opened any games, and I spent the entire vacation on Horizon 2.”

"Aren't vacations just for fun?" Li Tu was puzzled. He had also learned about CSGO players' vacations before, and vacations were purely for rest. How did it become different when he came to the director?

"CSGO is a very special game. The changes in the feel are very metaphysical. Maintain a certain amount of training every day to maximize your performance." Mengde explained, "So I will remind him to play every day when he is on vacation. Two rounds, at least maintain the touch."

The director nodded: "Except for the vacation after the Major, and the previous few vacations, we will also maintain training for 4-5 hours a day while resting, so as not to change the hand feeling too much."

"Did you fight so hard?"

"If we don't have enough strength, we have to use time to make up for it. After one Major ended, our entire club didn't even have a vacation, and we kept training until the start of the new tournament. It seemed that this time, the strength of our entire team improved by leaps and bounds, making a qualitative leap. "

"Most of the outside world's evaluations of you are gun men with strange talents. Now hearing your sharing, my perception has changed a bit."

Seeing that Meng De finished a group, the director went up and down a 5Kg dumbbell plate, and continued to start the second group of training,

"...12, 13, 14, 25, 37, 68."

Seeing the director's playfulness, Meng De mercilessly exposed him: "The sixth one!"

Li Tu was also very happy to be beside him.

Not long after, the second team also ended their training, and gla1ve entered the gym with Big Sweet Potato and his team.

Looking at the figure of Big Sweet Potato, Li Tu asked Meng De: "After kennyS left, Zaiwu filled the vacancy of the second team's sniper. This time at IEM Cologne, as a rookie, he played quite well. Yes, I want to hear your coach's evaluation of him."

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Of course it is the truth, no one likes to hear lies.

Watching Shushu and gla1ve in the ping pong competition, Mengde said from the bottom of his heart: "He seems to have been born for CSGO. This guy's talent is the highest I've ever seen."

"In the entire professional circle, I have never seen anyone with such an exaggerated talent when they debuted."

Each player has his own talent is different, some people's marksmanship is slightly inferior, but the game understanding is extremely high.

But some people have extremely exaggerated marksmanship when they first debuted, but their understanding of the game is not good. It often takes several years of polishing to realize their talents.

And what about loading?

This guy has been full of talents since his debut, whether it is marksmanship or game understanding, etc., he is already the top group of people.

As long as he adapts to the playing style and rhythm of the first-tier arena, he will be able to shine.

"Such a high evaluation?" Meng De's statement basically negates the talent of all talented youngsters in the professional circle. If it is posted, it will definitely be debated by fans of different players on the Internet.

"Even if S1mple's talent is not as good as his, you should understand this description. This guy is a monster. Although he just entered the second team, he has already hit the self-confidence of the second team. He is really like It's a reasonable oddity."

Meng De understands that the gold of Zaiwu will eventually shine in the professional arena.

"The coach said so, which made me look forward to the next performance of Zaiwu."

"Although I praise him so much, there is still a long way to go for the entire second team. They are still in a running-in period, and they need a certain amount of time to get familiar with the playing methods of their teammates."

Li Tu said with a smile: "It's not a big problem. I believe in your ability to coach you. I look forward to the moment when Zaiwu shines in the competition in the future."

"Last question. I just won the IEM Cologne championship. The first team is only two championships away from winning the Grand Slam. Do you have any plans for the next competition?"

"The first team will focus on maintaining their form and strive to participate in higher-quality large-scale competitions, and the rhythm will slow down a little. For the second team, I will let them actively participate in various A-level and above competitions, and strive to accumulate competition experience. At the same time, complete the running-in."

"There is still a long way to go..."
