Chapter 675 kennyS: FG is the company, Team A is the home
IEM Imperial City Station, the day of the semi-final match.

It was rare for Meng De to sleep late, and he also gave his teammates half a day off.

They were so busy for several days that they couldn't even get 8 hours of sleep every day. The contestants were severely sleep-deprived, and they slept until noon. It wasn't until Meng De ordered takeaway that everyone woke up, washed and ate comfortably.

Meng De was the first to finish washing. He was already very hungry, so he took the takeaway and started to enjoy it.

After the first game, kennyS and FG's performance really surprised them, which made all members of Team A plunge into training and desperately want to improve themselves.

It wasn't until the day before the game that Meng De noticed that his teammates were in a poor state of mind, so he took the initiative to give them half a day off to let them have a good rest and maintain their mental state.

The rare rest time also allows them to take a short break from the busy preparation process, and everyone's mental state is quite full for a while.

While eating lunch, he picked up his mobile phone and browsed the forum. Now Mengde is more and more fond of this way of surfing without using his brain.

Two days have passed since the first round of the knockout stage of the IEM Imperial Capital Station. The first round was quite exciting, and it also sparked a lot of discussions on the Internet after the game.

This is an S-level competition held in China. Although the competition team did not expect that offline tickets would not be sold enough, the popularity on the Internet has indeed increased. Just a live broadcast of the quarter-finals alone has exceeded the number of viewers except Other CSGO events other than the Major were broadcast live.

What's more, at this stage, the Major will start. Apart from the IEM Imperial City, there are no other large-scale events to watch. Due to various factors, the discussions triggered by the IEM Imperial City this time are almost at the Major level.

[After watching the entire quarter-finals, it turned out that Team A played two games, and the other three games were full]

[Really, team A played the most relaxed game, and even created a history of 16:0. Their game was completely crushed. As for the other three BO3 games, all of them were fully played.]

[One thing to say, the grouping of the IEM Imperial City this time is really something. AE met GOD in the quarter-finals, but was carried away by GOD after playing three games. Just show me a laugh at night Alright, this is probably the Danes' worst result in recent competitions]

[Grouping is a factor, but it’s a fact that AE has never played GOD. The blue horse knight has been in great shape for the past six months, and it feels like it’s about to rejuvenate for a second time]

[This time, the teams played very fiercely. It is a pity that AO missed FG by a few points, and BIKG even failed to win a few overtime games. They are all long-term pain players. 】

Meng De browsed a few posts and found that at this stage, most of them were still discussing the results of the knockout round.

In this quarter-final, the final winners of Group B are Team A and FG.

Group A played more interestingly here.

The first game of Group A is the highlight of the quarter-finals, with GOD facing AE.

These two teams are the highest-ranked teams in this IEM Imperial City Station, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the favorite teams to win this competition.

In this helpless encounter, one of them must be eliminated, which also made this match more interesting.

The strength of the two teams is not much different, and even the members of Team A have different opinions on the winner of this game.

After a BO3 match, the three-hour fierce battle made the audience thrilled. In the end, GOD was in better condition and won the first overtime in the third picture.

In Group A's second duel, there was an upset.

The Commonwealth of Independent States team BIKG played against the European second-tier team OCO. Although the people on OCO's side looked familiar, they were a bunch of second-tier veterans, so no one was optimistic about them before the start of the match.

But after actually entering the game, the fighting power displayed by these "old men" is not inferior to the first-line goalkeepers of BIKG.

They took the lead in winning their own map with a score of 16:9, although they did not perform very well when entering the opponent's map, and lost the second map.

But after actually entering Figure [-], the interesting part officially begins.

After entering Figure [-], the two sides began to fight continuously, the score was dead all the way, and finally even entered the overtime stage.

The scores of the two sides were always difficult to separate. Finally, it was not until the third overtime that OCO relied on a wave of wonderful team kills to stabilize the game and successfully ended the game.

This small upset has also become an important talking point for the A team after training in the past two days.

However, their important goal in the past few days is still FG, after all, FG is their opponent in the next semi-finals.

In the past two days, Meng De replayed the games in their group stage again, and conducted the second-floor director of some of the discussion styles that have appeared many times, and conducted simulation training for actual combat.

Until last night, Team A's training for FG was finally almost over.

After lunch, everyone in Team A climbed into bed again and took a short lunch break.

After the lunch break, they began to enter the state, practicing guns and running pictures.

It was not until two hours before the game that Meng De signaled for everyone to stop and prepare for a small meeting.

"This time against kennyS, I think you are more or less looking forward to it." Mengde glanced around the room, "We have finished all the preparations before the match, and we will see later You have performed well in the game, so there is no need for everyone to be too nervous, adjusting your mood and maintaining self-confidence are the most important things at this stage."

Hearing what the coach said, most of the members in the room fell into deep thought. Only Zaiwu and DD were expressionless. The two of them and kennyS had never been teammates before, so naturally they didn't have the complicated mood of former teammates becoming opponents.

"Then coach, what do you think we will win against FG this time?" DD said carelessly, seeing the silence in the room, he directly found a topic.

Meng De twirled the signature pen and smiled: "For me, if we enter the semi-finals, we already have the ability to win the championship."

DD:! !

When he suddenly heard that he had the possibility of winning the championship, he immediately gave up on DD.

He smiled and explained to DD: "Our previous strength was not weak, but because of the team's personnel changes, there were some conflicts in the style of play. gla1ve and they need to adapt to you and the load, and the two of you have to adjust. Your own style of play adapts to the whole team."

"What's more, I think at the current stage, we have ushered in an important period of strength for the team system. Whether it is the conventional default defense or the special dynamic defense, you can all play very well. After entering the offline, everyone Personal status has also improved more or less, and it will be very difficult for us to greatly improve our own strength..."

"At this stage, only by continuously enhancing the team's self-confidence through winning can this make them stronger from the inside out."

What Meng De said is a bit metaphysical, but the importance of self-confidence to CSGO is much clearer to the players present than Meng De.

Especially the old members of Team A, they clearly saw that the first team won the Major championship, and the performance of the team was not at the same level in an instant.

This is the confidence brought to them by the Major championship, which changed them from the inside out.

"We have done all the preparations. Next, we will face kennyS. As long as we show our due level, I think it will be no problem to enter the final."

gla1ve also said: "FG's preparation work is definitely not as sufficient as ours. They don't think they have any training matches, so I have the advantage!"

Hearing this, everyone in Team A laughed together: "You can't talk nonsense, gla1ve, you are like an old general on the stage, with flags all over your body."

Due to regional reasons, if it is a foreign game, Team A may be more troublesome. They may not necessarily have more contacts than FG. Even if they want to train with the first team, the first team will have to play with a delay of more than 100. Training The effect may be greatly reduced.

But this is in China. After entering the knockout rounds, it is even more difficult for FG to find a match for the training match.

The advantage of gla1ve is mine, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

All members of Team A are ready and full of confidence, ready to face their old friend kennyS next.

……

"Friends from the audience, welcome to the semi-finals of the IEM Imperial City Station. I am the commentator of this game, Nobita."

"I am evil."

Listening to the shouts from the two commentators at the scene, everyone in Team A was ready to go in the lounge.

"Teachers can start..." The staff of the competition team came to remind, and Meng De led the team into the player channel.

Walking to the back of the stage, less than 5 meters away from them, everyone in FG was lining up and walking towards the stage.

Meng De and FG coach Frank smiled at each other, then raised their heads and looked back, looking for kennyS.

Because of kennyS, the relationship between FG and Team A is actually good. Not to mention being close friends, they often form ladders together on weekdays.

But today FG looks very serious, obviously they also understand what this game means to them.

Mengde finally saw kennyS on FG's tail. What's worth mentioning is that kennyS actually wore a Chinese national flag!

The moment he saw Meng De's gaze, kennyS's expression lit up obviously, the corner of his mouth opened, and the hand holding the national flag wanted to wave to Meng De.

Feeling the atmosphere in the player channel at this moment, he pretended to be calm again, trying to calm himself down.

Meng De just nodded to kennyS, and parted ways at a corner.

Unable to talk to the old brothers, kennyS, who was wearing the national flag, was still a little bit disappointed.

"kennyS, don't pull your hips today!!" Broky's voice came from the player channel, causing everyone in FG to turn around in surprise.

The corner of kennyS's mouth raised, following the team's position.

The little pepper in front of him asked, "What did Broky mean in Chinese?"

"He said you've been beating too badly lately."

"Find a fight!"

kennyS played with his teammates again, but his heart was satisfied.

Well, coach.Let you see how I have grown during this time.

"First of all, let us welcome you, FG, a traditional strong team from France!!"

The clear and bright voice of the host spread through the microphone to every corner of the venue. Under the dazzling lights, everyone in FG stepped onto the stage in response to the excitement of the audience.

kennyS, who was walking at the end of the line, finally showed his whole picture. With a smile on his face, he listened to the sound of people shouting "Kenny" from the audience. Everything here was so familiar, so he loved it.

The shouts of the audience went up to a higher level, and everyone was shouting excitedly for kennyS from the bottom of their hearts.

The audience applauded thunderously, the host waited for the audience to calm down, and then shouted again: "Next, let us welcome again, the emerging team from China, VC.A!"

The door of the player passage opened, and the players of Team A in blue and white teams slowly walked out of the passage.

The cheers in the ear became more and more intense, gla1ve felt the emotions of the audience, raised his hands, and made waves with his fingers.

The audience at the scene also cooperated very well, and the sound was continuously accumulated, and finally when gla1ve raised his hand high, the accumulated sound was completely released.

There was endless applause in the stadium.

After the applause subsided, the host held the microphone and came to kennyS, and asked with a smile: "Hello, kennyS, I am the mayor of our favorite town. FG and Team A have become rivals, I want to see how you feel."

kennyS took the microphone and said after deliberation: "Team A and FG are two completely different teams. There are huge differences in terms of team configuration and competition methods. The competition system of Team A is one of the best in the world. Yes, the players there only need to focus on training. But I am more suitable to stay in FG now, I need to have a sense of crisis, and I need to get out of my comfort zone."

The host nodded, grasping the fact that kennyS had stayed in the two teams, and continued to ask: "You used to stay in Team A for a long time, now you transfer to FG, this time you are forced to reconcile with your old team, is this true?" Will it affect your performance during the game?"

"Definitely will." This answer surprised the host, he thought kennyS would say some scene words.

"Team A is a very important place to me. It is not only an old club, but also a home that accepts me. Now I am forced to leave home due to my own reasons. Naturally, my mood is complicated, but I also feel sorry for this game. There will be no slack, just because I was in Team A, I know better how strong they are. Besides, I also want to show my best side to the coach and the audience. "

kennyS's sincere speech touched many audiences at the scene, and there was another debate in the live broadcast room.

The host got the answer he wanted, and turned around again to ask the members of Team A how they felt about going to kennyS. There was nothing surprising about the members of team A, they just answered in a normal manner, and they would do their best.

The host saw that there was nothing to be learned from the question, so he let them go, and began to mobilize the audience's emotions, constantly asking who do you want to win in this game.

The result is naturally not surprising, the voice of the A team fighting in the local area seems to break through the sky.

The match hadn't started yet, but the fiery atmosphere at the scene had already begun to permeate.
