Chapter 624 Pre-match rhetoric, during the match...

Li Tu's interview with VC after IEM Cologne caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Most of the audience expressed curiosity about the scenes outside of the VC competition, and this interview was considered to have solved their exuberant curiosity.

Then, as expected, Meng De's views on the talent of carrying objects caused a lot of criticism on the Internet.

Every player has the strongest player in their hearts, and it is impossible for them to have the same number of talented youngsters in their hearts.Every year when the HLTV player list is selected, the forums can be full of quarrels.

There are people who are debating the record of the real strength.

Now that this kind of talent that is difficult to visualize is brought up, it has added a lot of criticism to Zaiwu.

It's just that he didn't care about these criticisms. After the end of IEM Cologne, he focused more on training and competitions.

As the instigator, Meng De didn't care about these remarks on the Internet at all, because he understood that facts speak louder than words, and Zaiwu would use his performance in the game to tell them the answer.

In the next few months, Zaiwu also lived up to his expectations. In two S-level events and one A-level event, he scored excellent data of 1.46, 1.27, and 1.55 respectively.

In these few games, the overall performance of the second team is obviously gradually improving, and they have successfully entered the knockout stage in several events.

It's just that in the end it seemed that it was so short of breath and it was difficult to reach the finals. Broky often joked about Zaiwu, maybe it was a curse in the French blood, and he was destined to go to jail.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The performance of the second team has risen steadily, but the recent performance of the first team is not particularly satisfactory.

After IEM Cologne, everyone thought that VC would show its dominance and win the championship in all subsequent events.

After IEM Cologne, the first major event that the first team participated in was the Blast Spring Finals.

In this event, although the process was a bit bumpy, it finally reached the final.

It was still the final match with the old rival AE, but this time VC was far behind. In the end, they lost the final with a score of 1-2 and only won the runner-up.

In the second event, they met the GOD team, which has been in a very good state recently, in the semi-finals. After the two youth training brothers of GOD entered the first line, the strength of the entire GOD has undergone a qualitative change.

As the TOP2 Blue Horse Knight of the year, he finally didn't have to drag four. When the two youth training teammates stood up to resist the pressure, they also completely liberated him.

In this competition for the semi-finals, the Blue Horse Knight even set a new record for Sha Er's highest kill, defeating them forcefully.

Everyone in the first team was not satisfied with the results of the two competitions, but in the follow-up ESL S16 competition, they finally regained some form. Although they struggled all the way, they finally won the championship.

Now the first team is only one more game away from the Intel Grand Slam!
Knowing this result, the entire first team is full of fighting spirit, eager to start the next competition immediately.But after the end of the entire ESL S16, they actually felt that they were not enough.

Too many games make it difficult for them to really have time to absorb some new knowledge in the professional circle. If they continue to play like this, sooner or later they will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the first-line teams.

So after the discussion, Mengde chose to let them temporarily slow down the pace of the game, allowing the team more time to "recharge" themselves.

Meng De also just threw some of the tactics he had recently extracted and researched from the system to Wang Yuning, and asked him to lead a team to train.

The current state of the first team needs more self-adjustment and review to correct some mistakes in details.

The state of the second team is just the opposite. Zaiwu and other members of the second team have gradually adapted to the game and are in a honeymoon period. The strength of the entire team is improving rapidly. Now it is necessary to test the inner thoughts of the game.

……

"NICE!!!"

During the training match, watching Zaiwu complete the 1V2 endgame with a sniper rifle again, gla1ve laughed and shouted from the side: "Zaiwu, you are indeed a monster."

They have been running in for several months now, but Zaiwu can still give them different degrees of shock in training and competitions.

After fully understanding the strength of the load, gla1ve's tactics in the game also began to become more varied. Before Icarus became famous, he started to bet points, and now he can try to use it.

After all, as soon as the Zaiwu sniper sounded, the other party had already started running away.

"Broky, you almost have to stand up, and you stand behind and go shopping every day?" gla1ve turned to the other side, and the sharp words hurt Broccoli's heart.

Broccoli touched her heart, and shouted with a look of pain, "How did your 38-degree mouth say such cold words? Grev, you are too double-standard!!"

Xiaoju pressed TAB, and added from the side: "Where is the double label, the Zaiwu kills 15 more heads than you, it's good if gla1ve doesn't spray you."

"I can't do that either." Broky shrugged, "Breakthrough, there will always be more deaths. This beat Ah Dian too far, and I always need to do these dirty jobs."

"I feel like you're connoting me..." Brother Electronic said expressionlessly.

There was another burst of laughter in the team, and the training match soon came to an end.

Their recent state is quite good, winning 20 of the last 14 training games.

By studying tactics, learning in depth, training again, reviewing after the end, learning, training again...

At this stage, the second team is constantly circulating in this set of gameplay, and their good results have given them a lot of positive feedback.

Training is naturally full of enthusiasm, after all, who doesn't want to achieve better results?
And recently they have gradually been practicing what the coach calls dynamic defensive thinking.

What is dynamic defense?The simplest explanation is that through the advantages of numbers or props, going to the outside world to get more information, and then quickly transferring to another area can play a heavy defense role.

For example, Team A is the defender of Purgatory Town. At the beginning, gla1ve played a 3B2A. If they follow the previous defensive habits, their A zone will defend the back and prevent the opponent from getting information. Play conservatively. Mainly.

But now that they have started to try dynamic defense, their style of play has undergone some changes.

If it is 3B2A, then only one person will go to A at the first time, and the other person will be on standby at the police house.

Wait until the member of Area A scouts the information on the middle and side lanes, and then through this information, choose whether to gamble or return to defense.

This style of play has been done by many teams in the professional arena, but most of them have a flash of inspiration. It is the first time they have seen the style of play within the tactical system.

But the coach's tactical acumen has always made them choose to believe rather than question without hesitation.

When I first tried this style of play, I stumbled in training and suddenly changed my defensive mode on a large scale. The effect is definitely not as good as before.

During the process, they even doubted whether this style of play was really feasible.

After running in until recently, they finally adapted to this defensive style of play. They are in good condition and have new tactical ideas. All members of the second team are very much looking forward to the effect of this style of play in the game.

……

With a lot of anticipation, the last major event before the Major - IEM Imperial City officially started audition.

The audition is an online event, mainly to compete for the qualifications for the IEM Imperial City Station.

The first team will not participate in major events before the Major, and VC only has the second team to participate in this audition.

On the first day of the game, their opponent was an old friend - the RC team.

The main members of the RC team are the watermelon and SANJI they are familiar with, and the talented boy Pite who has been quite hotly discussed in China recently.

Although RC has not had particularly good results recently, they have also appeared in the Copenhagen Major, and they still have certain strength.

Watermelon and SANJI have rich experience in competitions, and the strength of Pite, the number one in the VAC league ranking, is quite exaggerated, so they can't help but pay attention to it.

What's more, as long as the opponent is an old friend, they must go all out.

After the game started, after a simple BP, the final map was determined to be on the town of Purgatory.

RC is very straightforward and knows where his strength lies. Although this strength is only given to himself, at least he has a little confidence in his heart.

After fighting side by side, RC will act as the offensive side, and VC will start from the defensive side.

During the warm-up session, a group of people from SANJI and Team A looked at each other and joked on the public screen, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

The more mellow watermelon saw the nervousness of the young players in the team, waved his hand, and said with a feeling of rhetoric: "Don't worry, don't we always win them in training games? And with me, as long as you don't fight, the CPU will be overloaded." , this time there is still a chance.”

The game officially started, Xigua commanded a wave of synchronized flying to the second floor in the pistol round, and successfully won the round.

He saw that Pite's eyes were bright, he handed over his fist, and continued to encourage him: "Just fight according to this rhythm, genius boy, you are hitting a genius boy."

The team was immediately overjoyed, Pite was also excited, and there was another burst of laughter in the voice.

After entering the long gun round, they found that the problem began to become serious. gla1ve seemed to have opened the God's perspective. No matter which area they played, they could always encounter multiple heavy defenses.

"Are you gla1ve or Icarus~" Xigua was already talking nonsense.

Watermelon tried hard to help the team break the game, and soon discovered that only by playing a wave at a faster speed can they gain an advantage when attacking.

But this style of speed-up play is not suitable for most rounds. There is no attack to collect information. Whether they can enter depends entirely on scratching the lottery. Team A re-defends that area at the first time, and they will not be able to enter. The defensive strength Weak, they can get in.

Scoring in doesn't mean victory, and we have to worry about the strong personal abilities of the guys in Team A.

Especially that guy named Zaiwu, who is simply inhuman.

At the end of the first half, RC only scored 3 points in total. At this time, Xigua comforted his teammates, but the voice was silent.

He can only pin his hopes on being able to perform well in the early part of the second half and bring back everyone's emotions.

But in the end, he survived only one round in the match point before being crushed and taken away by Team A.

After the game, Watermelon comforted the emotions of his teammates, and he was quite moved in his heart.

In the past, he was also able to wrestle with gla1ve's command. The decline in level and long-term low-quality games made him clearly feel the gap with gla1ve.

Being able to easily win the old friends, everyone in Team A is still very happy.

"This dynamic defense is really easy to use. RC's information is as transparent as it is." Xiaoju stretched his waist, and even wanted to play another game. Obviously, this game didn't satisfy him.

In addition to some reckless attacks by Watermelon in this purgatory town, the other defensive rounds, the opponent's information is like a mirror in their eyes. Whether it is a follow-up betting point or a tactical forward pressure, they can handle it very well, which is why An important reason why Team A was able to play so easily in today's game.

"However, I still made a few mistakes, such as the 7th and 11th rounds. The defense information was exposed too early, which gave the watermelon game a chance." Mengde said the number of rounds recorded.

gla1ve also immediately opened the video of the game just now in the folder, and cut him to those rounds.

It has to be said that the experience of the watermelon competition is quite rich.

After losing multiple rounds in a row, he realized that gla1ve was not betting on defense, because even Icarus couldn't bet so accurately.

In one round, Xigua analyzed the information of the other party's transfer points from the props fed back by the two electronic brothers in area A.

I planned to turn around and rush into the banana road, but found Xiaoju jumping on the slate to investigate. After the information was exposed, Team A began to return to defense.Watermelon went to the A area for a silent transfer.

This also allowed him to successfully occupy Area A with a numerical advantage.

The first day of the competition ended successfully, and the next day's qualifiers will be a BO3 match.

On the second day, their opponent was Hii from Indonesia. This team from Indonesia also had players familiar to Mengde. During the first Major qualifiers of VC, the biggest enemy in Asia was snapping turtles. The oily brother who is the first sniper in Indonesia is now in this team.

Two years ago, Meng De attached great importance to them, and even worried about whether the team could really win the opponent.

But two years later, even the second team with poor performance, there is no pressure to face them.

这场BO3没有掀起任何的波澜，最终分别以16-4和16-5的大比分结束了对手。

In the third day of the game, their opponent was AO.

AO has performed well in recent times in major competitions, and has also crushed first-tier teams several times.

The lineup of this team is also considered luxurious in China.

Led by Xantares, followed by Shroud, PP, FTJ guys.

Although Xantares does not have much experience in major competitions, he is a Major champion after all, and his positive ability is not inferior to Team A.

This game was relatively difficult. On AO's map, they won 16-11. On the contrary, they went to VC's own map and went into overtime. Finally, they won 19:17. The score won the game.

After the three games, Team A qualified for the group stage with the first place in the Asian region of the IEM Imperial Capital Station!
The strength of Team A's dynamic defense has just taken shape, and they can't wait to start a confrontation with those first-line teams!
