160: Entry into offline competition
This time, Intel extreme masters xvi - fall: The europe group stage is divided into four groups, each with six teams, and these six teams have to compete with each other once.
Unlike EPL, the schedule is nearly one month, because the IEM this time is a district qualifier, the total schedule is only eleven days, so the schedule of this competition is extremely intensive.
This is also inevitable. After all, compared to this European qualifier, in the official opinion of V Club, the big part that really makes money is actually the major at the end of October.
At this time, V Society will definitely choose to sacrifice some qualifier time to ensure that players have enough time to train and prepare the tactics to use before the major officially begins.
Although V Society revised and released a major move before major, it was a bit unwilling to make the current CSSGO team stick to the old tactics, V Society definitely doesn't want any tactical system to appear in the near future. Not only will V Society not make much money, but the audience's attention will also drop significantly, which is not worth the loss.
Secondly, in terms of the competition, all the Bo1s were in the group stage, and the top three in each group advanced to the playoffs to compete for 12 places.
I won’t say much about other groups. G2 should not be able to meet until the playoffs. Just talk about Group A where G2 is now in.
In addition to the most competitive g2 and mice, the more famous ones in Group A are big and fpx.
Although the FPX team is not famous in the CSG circle... but is it also a name outside the circle?
29th.
Last night, everyone in g2 did not stay up late and all went to bed early.
But unlike teammates who have been struggling on the CCSCO professional battlefield for many years.
Gu Feng, who participated in the offline competition for the first time, returned to his room. After lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep. He felt a fire burning in his heart all the time, and the fire made him extremely excited at this moment.
But Reason told Gu Feng that he needed to sleep now and there was still a very important game to play tomorrow.
Just like this, Gu Feng was confused and didn't know what time he fell asleep. Fortunately, the coaching staff of G2 were quite concerned about Gu Feng. He knew that this was his first offline game where audiences entered, and he might be overly nervous or overly excited and unable to sleep.
So on the night of the 28th, the club arranged for the players of G2 to go back to their room to go to bed at 9:30, and at 9:30, the players were mandatory to lie in bed and prepare to go to bed.
So even though Gu Feng had tossed in bed for a long time before falling asleep, he fell asleep at around one o'clock in the morning.
This basically conforms to Gu Feng's daily routine, so when Gu Feng gets up the next day, his mental state was not affected at all.
Gu Feng's teammates were even more energetic at this time. They usually had to stay up until early morning to sleep and fell asleep at 9:00 today. They naturally got up very early in the morning.
They had been awake for a while now, and were gathering together to study how to greet the audience when they entered the venue later, and planned to wait until Gu Feng got up and have breakfast before going to the stylist they specially found for them to redesign their style.
Although most professional players do not have time to manage their external image in their daily training, after all, their primary task is to train to improve their strength, but every time they reach the offline stage, the club will find ways to help those professional players in the club who may leave in front of the camera to manage their external appearance.
After all, e-sports is different from traditional sports.
In traditional competitive sports, similar to football and basketball, a club can represent a city, and the people in this city are the basic foundation of this club. It can be said that most people can become fans of this club.
Due to the special form of expression in e-sports, performances of personal abilities often attract the audience's attention more than the cooperation between teams. This leads to the fact that in the e-sports event, the individual attractiveness of the players is greater than that of the team or club.
Your club can win many championships and become famous after you win, but the player who helps your club win the championship will be more famous than your club.
This is one of the less obvious differences between e-sports and traditional competitive sports.
Although fame cannot surpass players, as long as the players perform well, the club will naturally not suffer any financial losses. The more fans the players have, the more the club will definitely make.
Therefore, improving the appearance of players is also a way for the club to create benefits. After all, this is a society that looks at faces. If two technologies, playing styles, hobbies, or people who are similar in nature are put together, the only difference is that one of them looks more friendly and looks very comfortable, while the other one is just an ordinary passerby face.
At this time, most viewers will naturally be more willing to invest their thoughts, energy and money in the more friendly contestant.
Get back to the point.
g2 Everyone's appearance and image were processed very quickly, and six people included the coach and all of them were done in half an hour.
After all, these six people are all big men, so it is impossible to put on makeup like women, and even every pore on their faces has to be decorated.
The club's requirements for stylists are very simple, just make the hairstyles of these six people so that they look a little more energetic, and not block their original appearance. That's fine.
It is worth mentioning that this stylist could still show the face shape of the g2 people calmly, and then choose a suitable hairstyle from his or her hair library to change it.
But after arriving at Gu Feng, the stylist's blood pressure began to rise rapidly.
It’s not that the stylist thinks Gu Feng has provoked him, but looking at Gu Feng’s handsome face, which is as handsome as a knife and axe. He is so handsome and friendly, but the one on his forehead is a buzz cut with no beauty.
A handsome face with this hairstyle made all the artistic bacteria in the stylist scream wildly.
The stylist felt a bit like a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient at this time. When he was shopping in the supermarket, he found a bottle of Coca-Cola in the middle of a row of neat Pepsi. There was a manhole cover in the middle of a row of neat zebra crossings, but the zebra crossing on the manhole cover was crooked, and it was really a breath that stuck in the chest and couldn't express it.
Finally, the stylist said with great grief that Gu Feng clearly has such good talent conditions, so why do you have to make a fool of yourself to ruin such a good face and appearance?
However, the stylist is just a working person after all, and there is no other way to not like Gu Feng's taste at this time.
After simply helping Gu Feng deal with his hair and reorganized some of the areas that he collapsed while sleeping, he strongly asked Gu Feng to keep his hair long.
After the length reaches a certain level, be sure to call him and ask him to design a hairstyle suitable for Gu Feng.
He was even willing to help Gu Feng design his hairstyle without charging Gu Feng's money, and he was even willing to pay for it.
This may be the pursuit of a stylist.
In short, everyone in g2 has done this in terms of appearance. After packing up the peripherals and other things, everyone brought their own equipment to the venue to take a bus to prepare for today's competition.
Due to the tight time of this game, the schedule of the group stage is relatively full. Although g2 only has one game to play today, overall, IEM has twelve Bo1 games to play today.
Fortunately, IEM opened two stages at the same time, and could compete in two games at the same time.
g2's opponent today is aura, an unknown Swedish team. The organizer arranged such a team for g2, which is actually a bit more or less: on the first day of the restart of the offline competition, letting these strong teams such as g2 move their muscles and bones to adapt to the long-lost offline event atmosphere.
Of course, this is just what the g2 players said when chatting and joking in private. No one can say whether it is the organizer's arrangement or the draw of lots.
As the bus from the G2 Club slowly approached the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the outdoor environment, which had been very quiet all the way, gradually became noisy.
Everyone in the bus turned their eyes outside the window.
I saw that the Mercedes-Benz Arena, which was deserted when I came to take the makeup photos yesterday. At this time, the entrance channel was blocked by the CSSG players who were preparing to enter the field to watch the game.
However, g2 is a contestant who participated in the competition, so it is naturally impossible to squeeze in the normal entrance with the csgo fans at this time.
Professional players have special entrances for them.
And these fans who were queuing up naturally noticed that the bus with g2-marked benchmarks was slowly coming.
The players who were queuing up were all excited for a moment.
Professional players have not played offline games for more than a year, but the audience has not watched CSSGO offline games for more than a year?
Both sides actually miss the atmosphere of watching the game offline. Now that they have seen the G2 vehicle, many G2 fans naturally don’t care about the queue, and they all gathered around eagerly.
Although the organizer has not had such offline competitions for a while, the previous experience is still there, so naturally there are plans for this.
After the exclusive entrance, a security guard immediately came over and pulled a steel isolation belt to prevent overly excited fans from hitting the G2 vehicle and the contestants, causing injuries to anyone.
At this time, the G2 fans at the entrance naturally stood on both sides along the isolation belt pulled out by the security guard, waiting for the G2 players in the bus to come out to interact with them.
This is also a repertoire.
Then the players from G2 walked down from the bus in turn, greeted and waved or shook hands with the eager audience around them.
The audience was also very proud of their face at this time. No one caused any trouble. Most of the audience who felt they didn't have the chance to sign or shake hands took out their phones to start recording.
A small number of lucky or strong spectators, after rushing to the front of the team, either take out a notebook and ask the contestants who are walking in front to sign for themselves, or reach out to try to shake hands with these contestants. This can be considered a glimpse of professional players. When you go back to play CSSGO, you will definitely beat the opponent.
The situation here changed dramatically as Gu Feng walked out of the car the last one.
The audience who were originally very eager to greet Mr. Ni, cousin, nexa and Kbao immediately burst into cheers after seeing Gu Feng.
These foreigners were using a very twisted accent and kept shouting Gu Feng's game id.
This scene not only caught the rest of g2 off guard, but even Gu Feng himself stayed there, a little at a loss.
In fact, this is the passiveness brought by Gu Feng himself that is working.
What Gu Feng didn't know was that his passiveness actually had only 5% effect on the Internet, and he belonged to the type that was not very different from that.
However, this skill can achieve 100% effect in reality. This is the main reason why the audience was overly excited and disobedient after seeing Gu Feng.
Because Gu Feng's appearance conditions are really good, they are so good that they exceed their expectations.
This feeling that I knew you were very handsome, but after seeing the real person, I didn’t expect you to be more handsome than I thought.
Another thing is that when Gu Feng's passive skills are activated, both men and women have a favorable bonus, so at this time almost all g2 fans are approaching Gu Feng's direction, trying to shake hands with him or ask him to sign an autograph for him.
Although Gu Feng was nervous at this time, he had done enough psychological counseling along the way to the venue, and he was also mentally prepared for this.
After being stunned for a while in the huge cheers, Gu Feng immediately came to his senses.
While smiling and nodding to some fanatical fans, he found a few thin-looking fans or some female fans to shake hands, but did not agree to their request to sign and take photos.
It’s not that Gu Feng looks down on those fans who look stronger or have normal body shape. The main reason is that if those people want to do something bad about Gu Feng, they will force Gu Feng to the ground when Gu Feng shakes hands or signs their autographs, they don’t have to do anything. At this moment, the audience’s fanatical expressions are inevitable, a trampling and injury accident is inevitable.
So for the sake of Gu Feng's safety, he chose those fans or female fans who look thinner, because if these people want to do something bad, based on Gu Feng's core strength, his weight and reaction speed, he can still ensure that he is not pulled into the crowd and causes chaos.
These are the things that Mr. Ni and his cousin told Gu Feng to pay attention when they were in the car.
So the benefits of having an old family are reflected at this time. They will tell you the losses they have suffered in advance so that you can avoid them in advance.
It is not far from the parking place to the gymnasium, it is about fifty meters away.
