CSGO professional player

Chapter 7 upcoming games

When life became more fulfilling, Wang Che felt that life passed faster.

Sit face-to-face with new teammates and train together, finish the training game every day, then review the game, and discuss tactics again.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

2021 has arrived quietly.

On January 1, the competition that Wang Che and others were looking forward to officially started.

The first season of the European Esports Development Championship was a CS:GO tournament co-sponsored by a Maltese esports organization and a Polish esports organization.

Play entirely online.

After all, this B-level event does not have too much exposure and does not have many sponsors.

Naturally, there will not be too much funds for players to go offline for competitions.

The sixteen teams invited are all second-tier professional teams in Europe.

It is said to be a second-tier team, but many of them can also touch the first-tier teams when they are pulled out.

For example, the CIS team K23, the Spanish powerhouse Movistar Riders, and the Russian teams forZe and BEZ ZP.

In the BEZ ZP team, there is the famous top free agent seized.

Poland's Illuminar Gaming, which owns the major champion Snax, also participated in the event.

This is the strength of European Shark Pond.

No matter which team has the strength to aspire to the championship.

Sixteen teams were divided into four groups.

The group stage adopts the GSL competition system, that is, the double elimination system.

The first game is BO1, and the subsequent games are all BO3.

Double out.

Each group will decide the two advanced teams within the next 2 days.

After entering the knockout round, it will be BO3.

After the simple online opening ceremony, the Group A competition started immediately.

Because the schedule is not tight, Wang Che and his teammates also have time to sit down and watch the live broadcast of the game.

It takes time to watch the live broadcast, but you can intuitively see the actions of both parties.

It is also easier to see through the loopholes of the opponent through the commentary and the discussion of the teammates.

Any team is likely to be the next opponent.

Knowing your opponent is also very important.

The battle in Group A was extremely fierce.

Endpoint defeated the Hungarian team Budapest Five for the first time, and then defeated forZe 2:0.

The young Israeli player flameZ in the team played extremely well, leading the team to become the first team to advance to the knockout round.

Polish IG, who had played a training match with Wang Che, lost to forZe in the first game, and then lost to Budapest Five with a score of 1:2.

Be the first team to be eliminated.

And Budapest Five broke out in desperation. After eliminating Polish IG, they also burst out an amazing force in the next match with forZe.

Won the game with a total score of 2:1, and both advanced with Endpoint.

In the subsequent Group B, the strength gap between the teams is relatively large.

HellRaisers advanced first with absolute strength, followed by the Bulgarian team SKADE into the knockout round.

The Galaxy Racer and Team Heretics in the same group didn't even make a splash.

The Copenhagen Fire team's match in Group C did not start until the 11th.

The other three teams are...

CIS team K23.

ALTERNATE aTTaX from Germany.

And NAVI Junior.

K23 is headquartered in Kazakhstan, and the team sits on the big brother mou, who was the sniper of the 2017 Krakow major champion Red Star.

There is a young Russian player named n0rb3r7 in this team, who is said to be ridiculously strong.

This is also the first opponent the fire team will fight.

ALTERNATE aTTaX is known as the talent delivery base of German CSGO.

Now k1to, tiziaN, syrsoN in the German tank BIG, and OG's mantuu all come from this club.

The background is evident.

And NAVI Junior is a team that needs no introduction.

NAVI's youth training team.

Just the four letters of NAVI can represent their strength.

The 15-year-old m0NESY in the team is hailed as Simple's successor.

AWP is fast and accurate.

Looking around, they are all powerful enemies.

In order to study their style of play.

Hooxi had already found the DEMOs of these teams' previous games, and took the players to watch them all night long.

So the closer the match was, the later it would be for Wang Che to return to the rental room.

Language school classes have been temporarily suspended.

On the 11th, Wang Che went straight to the club after finishing his workout in the morning.

The training room was empty at this time.

Because most people stay up late the day before and don't get up to eat until noon.

Wang Che sat down alone and opened CSGO.

After Aimbot practiced the gun for half an hour. (Aimbot, a gun training map from CSGO Creative Workshop)
I will go to faceit to play a RANK ladder.

It's too early, and fpl-c doesn't have 10 players to fight.

Can only hit the ladder.

Although the intensity was not comparable to the competition, it helped Wang Che find the rhythm of the battle.

After all this is done, the members of the fire team will appear one after another.

"Hi, Clear, you still came so early." Hooxi was the first person to come to the training room besides Wang Che.

"The game will start in the afternoon."

He is the captain, and he is responsible for more things, so he often needs to get up early.

In the past, he was the first to come to the training room.

But after Wang Che joined the fire team, he replaced him and became the first player to come to the training room.

Hearing the voice, Wang Che turned his head and greeted Hooxi.

"It's okay to be idle, just play the ladder to warm up."

"Well, that's pretty good too..." Hooxi said approvingly. "If I remember correctly, the game in the afternoon should be your first professional game?"

"Indeed." Wang Che nodded.

"Keep in mind this feeling on the court, it will be completely different from your training game... By the way, if, I mean if, if you need mental health counseling, I can recommend someone to you, and I will definitely respond You can help."

"Thank you, but I don't think I need it yet." Wang Che smiled helplessly.

"That's the best, Clear. I've seen many young players who are strong and outstanding in training matches, but as long as they come to official competitions, whether online or offline, their performances are always unsatisfactory."

Hooxi looked serious, he had no doubts about Wang Che's strength.

But no matter how strong you are, you must have the opportunity to show it.

For these young players, there are too few opportunities to show up in official games.

So every game is very important.

Although it can't be seen in the usual training games, Hooxi is still a little worried that Wang Che will be nervous because he is participating in a professional game for the first time.

"Some of them survived this period and then shined, but some people disappeared during this period of underestimation and were never seen again."

"So, now, don't think about what will happen if you don't play well in the game, and you don't have to think about the score. You just need to stabilize your mentality and play your own well, and that's enough."

"Understood, my captain."

Wang Che is very fortunate that the first captain in his CSGO career is Hooxi.

He is experienced and full of patience.

In the game, he will create all favorable opportunities for Wang Che, and in life, he also takes good care of Wang Che.

Wang Che knew that Hooxi was a little worried that he would be nervous.

But on the contrary, Wang Che was not nervous at this time.

On the contrary, I was a little excited.

After a short period of excitement, he began to calm down again.

Unbelievably calm.
