Chapter 323 The easiest quarterfinal match in history

The journey of the current forZe lineup began in 2018.

Since signing FL1T, their world ranking has risen from 76th.

This year, they successfully entered the top thirty in the world rankings by virtue of their results in a series of events.

The team successfully advanced to the Berlin Major and then participated in multiple A-level events, with results that are obvious to all.

By the end of 2019, their world ranking had reached No. 13.

Even ranked ahead of Faze.

Like other CIS teams, forZe relies heavily on acquiescence at the beginning, and its initiative and creativity are slightly lacking.

But as we all know, this style of play can work over time.

But in the end it was interpreted by the opponent, and after getting used to it, it was easy for the opponent to catch the weakness and be forced to collapse bit by bit.

Problems with command mobilization and supplementary defense in the mid-term are common problems among CIS teams.

This is true for Red Star, and so was Navi in ​​the past.

forZe is no exception.

September 9, 10:7 local time in Malta.

In the live broadcast room of Seafood TV6657, he was playing with the machine as usual and chatting with water friends about all kinds of useless things. Suddenly he saw the screen change and the game was about to start.

"Okay, no more nonsense, the game is on."

"Three maps, Nuclear Crisis, Lost City in the Desert, and Ancient Ruins."

"The first nuclear crisis was chosen by Heroic, and it was originally their strong map."

"But it's a bit interesting that forZe took the initiative to choose the lost city but not the small town."

"You know, they have always chosen a small town before. The small town map is compact, which is very suitable for them to make a default first and then gather for a wave."

Playing Machine quickly analyzed: "Maybe they have some big moves in the desert."

"But it could also be that they are afraid of Heroic's town."

"Needless to say Clear, others often perform brilliantly. Stavn and TeSeS's B point is impregnable if they can defend it."

"Also, from my point of view, there will be no picture three in this game. Heroic is not a liquid, and anyone can lose."

[Professional anchors dare to make judgments. 】

[Stop breastfeeding, stop breastfeeding...]

[If Heroic loses, he must be beaten to death by the host. 】

With the constant barrage of ridicule in the live broadcast room, the competition has quietly begun.

forZe has five players.

Commander Jerry, team members almazer, FL1T, KENSI and zorte.

They actually didn't think they could advance to the quarterfinals before the game.

Their prediction before the game was that winning two games in the group stage would be extremely valuable experience, and if they could successfully get out of the group stage, then for the team, it would be an overfulfillment of the task.

Now, facing the world's number one Heroic, they know that their chances are slim and their EPL journey may end here.

But for no reason, a great power suddenly emerged in everyone's heart.

Jerry also continued to encourage his teammates in his voice: "Brothers, if we win one, we will win, and we will fight with open arms."

"What's wrong with Heroic, what's wrong with Clear, don't we have a chance?"

"No, nothing is impossible in CSGO."

"Clear walks alone in the outfield, so let's hit it in the outfield and see if we can eat him first."

On Nuclear Crisis, forZe played a lot of games, but it didn't have much time to adjust its play style against Heroic.

The only weapon in their hands is their own personal ability.

However, compete with Heroic for personal abilities.

Emmm...

Can they fight it?

"Let's see how Heroic plans to fight in the pistol round first."

"What? Clear's P250 is gone, it was hacked by cadiaN and bought as a bomb."

"Smoke and thunder, throw the smoke and thunder to your teammates, cadiaN will go up to the roof to dodge them."

"Clear didn't even go to the outfield, but played offense with his teammates."

"Blow up the iron gate and seal the main entrance, but don't rush out and wait for the flash explosion."

"TeSeS finally moved, but Jerry bought a CZ and hit it close. He hit one first and was immediately covered."

"There was only one person left to guard point A of forZe. It fell so fast that we didn't even get back to defense yet."

"The three CTs did not dare to attack the smoke bombs, so they could only shoot randomly into the smoke in an attempt to kill the gangsters."

"But you are facing a group of Danes, how dare you."

"What? Clear went against the grain and managed to get a headshot!"

"The Danes can't get through, but Clear can. That's the difference, brothers."

[Three people in the outfield wanted to target Clear, right? They targeted Loneliness. 】

【The idea of ​​forZe exists, but it doesn’t work. 】

【Like to hang out? 】

[Can this also be messed up?All the buffs of the four Danes should be added to Clear. 】

Look at the kill prompt with mixed smoke in the upper right corner.

Jerry frowned slightly.

This mixed smoke is really unreasonable, right?

However, this bold speed-up attack was beyond his expectation.

Moreover, Heroic obviously took advantage of the emptiness in forZe's infield before he dared to stay for a few seconds before attacking.

Obviously prepared.

"Pack two, one next to the pipe at the main entrance."

"FL1T, be careful someone cuts off your back."

Two CTs waited at the main entrance for the smoke to dissipate.

The FL1T copied from the iron plate is also in place.

You can't hit first after the circle, and hit it first in case it's for nothing.

The pressure on teammates will be infinite.

So he stood quietly on the inside of the connection, waiting for his teammates at the front door to take the first shot.

"3 on 4 defense, outside the yellow room with pliers, CT still has a chance."

"But no one goes to the third floor, so it might be a foreshadowing."

"Almazer pulled first, and saw no one at the first moment. In order to help his teammates pull out, he had no choice but to move forward boldly."

"There are too many points and he can't search them."

"Clear, headshot!"

"It's so accurate, it's a shot right out of the yellow room."

"The FL1T that was bypassed was also cut off by cadiaN."

"KENSI killed one, but there were people everywhere, and he couldn't even see him."

"1 to 0, Heroic easily won the pistol round."

At the end of the round, the five CTs were reborn in the police house.

Everyone's expressions were no longer as relaxed as they were before the game started.

Almazer's originally smiling face had disappeared at this time.

It turns out that this is the world's number one strength...

After the real fight, they immediately understood that there was indeed a gap in the strength of the two sides.

"Just go ahead and fire up the small gun. Let's keep getting closer." Jerry looked at his teammates around him and continued to arrange tactics. "Heroic will definitely play AK in the second round, and he is more likely to play in the outfield."

"Besides, brothers, we have known for a long time that Heroic is much stronger than us, right, so we don't have to have this expression all the time."

"Just take care of yourself."

Jerry sighed secretly.

The game had just started, and the team's old habits were already falling into place.

Although the five members of forZe have played together for many years, they are generally young.

In terms of marksmanship and tactics, even against Navi and Red Star, they can fight back and forth for several rounds.

They have the ability to stabilize the top 10, but they have never been able to successfully play, for example, they have problems like this and that.

The problem with forZe is not in tactics and personal ability.

but something else.

Such as lack of confidence.

When some unforced errors occur, the confidence of the players will be hit to a considerable extent.

It's like being mixed in with cigarette smoke and getting a headshot.

At this time, Zorte's expression was very ugly.

He usually doesn't talk much and his expression is serious and solemn, but now he has a livid face and says nothing.

Jerry knew that his teammates were saying that it was okay, even the top eight.

But in fact, I really want to win.

But the opponent is too strong...

However, when necessary, accepting failure is also a part of growth.

And a personality problem like zorte is not something that can be solved with a few words or simple incentives.

The freeze time for the second round ended, and everyone in Zorte equipped themselves with pistols and semi-armored submachine guns and ran collectively to the outfield.

Long guns and small guns are used for long-distance firefights in the outfield. There are not enough guns that can bully the CT. This is clear to everyone, so Jerry takes action.

But cadiaN didn’t think so.

Because his opponent was relatively weak, he actually didn't bother to think too much.

Point A went too smoothly, and the long gun was used against the small gun, and it was able to bully CT for having few props in the second round.

Then immediately came another point A explosive bomb.

Just hit a completely empty A package point.

"All point A is empty, and the bag is easily completed. The five CTs don't want to play this defense, because it is unnecessary." "Heroic also doesn't hand in the gun. They know that there must be more than one CT person holding up."

"No shot was fired, no one was killed, and the score became 2:0."

The atmosphere in the forZe team was a little dull, but Heroic's side was filled with laughter.

"Damn it, cadiaN, God commanded me, this point is for nothing."

"I didn't drop a single gun, Wuhu~"

"It shouldn't be possible to get up on the other side of the lower handle. We can continue to blow."

In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Heroic still chose point A to speed up the explosion in the third round.

Although forZe chose three teammates to defend the A package this time.

But he was tortured by the flash and couldn't keep his eyes open.

Before the flash effect disappeared, he was taken away by the bandits with protruding faces.

The package points were exchanged 0 for 3, and the Heroic economy was booming.

The score came to 3:0.

None of the small guns in everyone's hands were thrown away.

Obviously, they are preparing to play another wave of speed-up Rush.

"Long gun round, Heroic gave the outfield a line of smoke at the beginning, and sent Clear to the outfield to play K1 alone."

"This outfield directly enlarges the footsteps, basically telling CT that I want to play K1."

"At point A Jerry, immediately defend from the pipe and guard the death gate slope."

"However, Clear did not continue going down after getting off K1, but chose to turn back and hit the main entrance."

"With two cigarettes left, cadiaN called out another wave of A-point explosive bombs!"

"Only almazer is left in the A pack, and Heroic hits forZe's most empty spot again."

"How many can he top?"

"It's a pity that only one was replaced before it was replaced."

With this wave of Heroic attacks, Jerry has realized that he has been cheated.

Looking at his teammates who had just returned to the B package point, he didn't know what to do.

He was used to playing against CIS teams, and he seemed to have almost forgotten about fake playing.

He was so upright that he immediately called back to defense when he heard footsteps.

European teams, especially Danish teams.

They often attack the false and the true, with a hint of truth within the falsehood, and a bit of deception within the truth.

The response strategy of most teams is not to see the package and never fall back easily.

"Four-on-four defense, but we must first clear out the bandits who missed the mark at K1."

Said playing machine commentary.

"Jerry quietly touched K1, trying to find Clear, but Clear had already hid in Okura."

"This is the ultimate dark side. It's hard for CT to think that he would be hiding here."

"Time is running out, we can only slow down."

"But as soon as he started running, Jerry was immediately taken away..."

"Okay, don't go back to defense this time, just save your gun."

……

The score was 4:0, coach Certus shook his head slightly.

Nuclear Crisis is the opponent's strongest map. He doesn't expect forZe to win, he just wants to score a few more points.

Even if it's one more point, the players who have started to feel depressed will be a little more confident by the next picture.

But Heroic did not give forZe such a chance. After ten rounds, the score had become 8:2.

The two points lost were all because cadiaN wanted to speed up the connection, but he had no choice but to explain it when he ran into forZe, who was defending heavily with two players.

This may be the easiest game Wang Che has played in the EPL.

Although the record is only 8-4.

But in most of the rounds he won, he was alone in the outfield. Before he had a chance to see the enemy, his teammates had already succeeded in breaking through...

Playing with the machine quickly revealed something was wrong.

"Heroic played smoothly, but Clear didn't exert any force at all."

"It's all teammates who are killing people."

"Also, when there is a hint of smoke in the outfield, you either play K1 or go into the big position, but forZe can't hit anything in the outfield at the beginning, so it seems to just give up, and no one is watching at all."

"My teammates have already killed me before I even saw him, and I still have to hit him with a hammer."

"It was so easy, Clear, he even started fishing."

"Furthermore, judging from the score, forZe shouldn't have much chance in this picture. The offense has already scored 8 points. If the defense just defends for a while, the game will be over."

……

In the 11th round, the iron plate fell again, and the score gap came to 7 points.

In despair, forZe finally remembered that CT also had a double-sniper defensive tactic.

One sniper to remove the iron plate, the other sniper to see the outfield.

A point three rifles to play with.

At the beginning, after zorte sniped Wang Che in the outfield, forZe's defense finally improved.

Just relying on the big sniper shot to steal people, it was difficult to turn the situation back a little bit.

In the remaining three rounds, relying on this pair of sniper defense, he actually scored 2 more points.

At the end of the first half, the score was locked at 11:4.

The second half after the break was a relief for forZe.

Because after losing the pistol round, they had no struggle, lost five points in a row, and quickly ended the game with a score of 4:16.

forZe backstage lounge.

The five team members have no time to review the mistakes they made during the nuclear crisis.

I only heard that the captain Jerry is constantly doing psychological construction for everyone.

"Every mistake eats away a big chunk of our confidence."

"It all snowballed into an avalanche."

"It's overwhelming us."

"We played very poorly in the first half, and the main reason was me, because there were a lot of problems with my command."

"But there was no problem with your performance, especially in the last few rounds of the first half. After you found the right method, there were no more mistakes in defense."

"Brothers, one thing you have to understand is that this is not our comfort zone. Our opponent is the IEM Cologne champion."

"There was no way the game would go as we planned."

"We must adapt to all changes and make changes."

Coach Certus also echoed from the side: "Yes, it is unexpected that we can reach the quarterfinals."

"You don't have to worry about winning or losing at all, just get your stuff out."

“Face your own problems and find ways to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.”

"Cherish the opportunity to play against the No. [-] player in the world. Even if we lose, it will become our food for progress."

The forZe team members nodded, not knowing how much they listened.

……

Not long after, the players from both sides returned to the battle seats on the offline stage again.

The second map is Lost City in the Desert.

forZe, who was the first to attack in the first half, successfully scored the first three points after beating the policeman in the pistol round.

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

But with the arrival of the long gun round, Heroic directly attacked the middle and hit the big snipers Zorte and Jerry.

The remaining three people can only launch the A1 attack, hoping to occupy the package point before the CT in the middle arrives.

But just to replace sjuush, it cost two people.

Only FL1T is left to face a 1v4 endgame.

All he can do is make peace, give his teammates some extra money, and then lose points helplessly.

forZe's attack in Lost City was obviously smoother than Nuclear Crisis.

After gaining insight into Heroic's A-point defensive formation, he immediately chose to block the VIP arch and forcefully attack the police.

sjuush lost ground repeatedly and had no choice but to ask cadiaN to help defend the police box.

But Jerry aimed at point B in time.

At the end of the fifteen rounds in the first half, forZe even led by 1 point.

However, after the second half, their defense was like a mess.

Wang Che and TeSeS took turns to play, and forZe, who played in the middle, did not dare to show his face.

Failure to control the middle lane is equivalent to waiting for death by sitting in the bag.

Heroic equalized the score all the way and then took the lead.

It was hard for the defense to score a point, and forZe was eager for change.

Start implementing forward pressing tactics.

But the more impatient you are, the more mistakes you will make.

The consequence of this is to give Heroic more opportunities.

Set up the gun by default to get the numerical advantage, and then easily raise B in the middle.

Heroic's offensive strength is more than a little bit stronger than forZe.

The score of the second map was finally fixed at 16:12.

"Look what I said, will Heroic flip over? Impossible."

"2:0, easily."

"Congratulations to Heroic and Clear for successfully advancing to the semi-finals."

"They only need two more wins to win the championship and the IEM Grand Slam."

"Brothers, the time to witness history is coming soon."
