The game started quickly and ended slowly. G2 Light Speed ​​sent VG away with a score of 2-0 and won the first victory in Group A.

After playing this game, the players of G2 took a short break for a while and then entered the intense training.

In fact, in the days before the start of the ESL Professional League, the players of G2 were training most of the time and had no extra time to play training matches with other teams to confirm their training results during this period.

This group stage just gave the players of g2 a chance to verify their training results during this period.

So except for the players of G2 who use tactics to directly crush the VG's face when they beat VG, the other four teams, G2, rarely use too complicated tactics, and simply use the players' personal abilities and some small cooperation details to hit.

G2 also relied on its strong personal strength to stand out in the group A, which did not have many strong teams. In the end, he advanced to the first place with a record of 5-0, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals of the ESL Professional League.

Many people can see the growth of g2 in the past ten days. From the clumsiness of IEM Cato during that time, it only took 10 days to polish it. Now, when Esl has already had a bit of the style of g2's peak period.

This change is undoubtedly good news for all g2 fans, but for g2 opponents, the news is not very reassuring.

When g2 was not well done, it relied on the personal abilities of star players such as Gu Feng and Young Master Ni to rush to the top 4 of IEM. At this time, g2 made great progress after 10 days of training.

And there are still 15 days to prepare for the ESL finals. No one knows what G2 people will train in these 15 days.

It can be predicted that as long as g2 continues to maintain their momentum, he will soon regain his confidence after IEM's defeat, and launch a new impact on the championship in this ESL.

However, just as the players of g2 will train day and night during this period, professional players from other teams will definitely not slacken during this period. The result will still be clear until the actual battle is done.

The five-day group stage of G2 quickly came to an end. Gu Feng and his old VG players went for a meal together. After the meal, he didn't chat too much. After Gu Feng said goodbye, he packed up his things and returned to the G2 training base and continued to start training day and night.

Players like Gu Feng and others entered the busy training schedule, and other departments of g2 were not idle either.

Gu Feng and the others can not pay attention to the next three games in esl, but the analyst department and coaching team of G2 have to be careful. After all, many of the teams in these games may become G2's opponents in the EXK finals.

During these 15 days, the players of G2 have been busy and fulfilling. Everyone has no extra time to think about other things. They have been doing all the training in their minds these 15 days.

Even Gu Feng did not squeeze out even half an hour to call Li Yao. He got up in the morning and exercised for a while and started training until lunch. After lunch, he had to rest for 10 minutes and then continue practicing.

This almost ascetic life made Gu Feng and his teammates feel a bit depressed in their mental state, but on the other hand, this high-intensity and intense training is of great help to the growth of Gu Feng and his personal strength, and the most important thing is that the relationship between the g2 players has also become friendly due to the high-intensity training.

The overall team and the level of cooperation between players have reached the peak of g2. There is no big difference between g2 now and g2 at the time. The only difference may be that the tactics of g2 now have undergone a round of small innovations, and the small details and some small cooperation are slightly different from before.

Another point is that g2 has studied the hard-earned map building that has been bothering them in these 15 days. Although g2 cannot make this picture of the building into a strong picture in such a short time, if other teams choose this picture of the building, the result of the g2 game can be looked forward to.

After this picture of the building was initially mastered by g2, there is only one ruin in the current competitive picture pool that g2 can't play. There is no doubt that this picture will be sent to the permanent ban list by g2 in the future. It is estimated that if the lineup of g2 is not dispersed, this picture of the ruins is unlikely to appear in a game with g2.

After 15 days of training, 12 teams in the final stage of the ESL Professional League were also released one after another. The team with the most winning games in each group of the four groups directly entered the quarter-final stage, and the two teams in the last two need to decide a winner in the top 12, and those who win can enter the quarter-finals.

The 12 teams that appeared in these four groups are as follows:

Group a: g2, nip, fnatic.

Group b: virtus.pro,team     vitality,    faze     clan.

Group c:     gambit    esports, big,    team    liquid.

Group d:    natus    vincere,   heroic,    astralis.

The finals are the same as IEM. After the finals, it becomes a single-game knockout system. If you lose one game, you have to pack up and go home directly.

The schedule of the day came out after the game was finished. The top 12 games had nothing to do with g2. G2 was assigned to the fourth group. In other words, although they immediately arrived at the competition venue after the fifteen-day group stage, they still had to wait for g2 to start.

This is actually not good news for Gu Feng and the others, because they thought they could play the game after they arrived at the scene, so they would not need to continue training.

"Oh~"*4.

When coach xtqzzz announced that the game was still three days before the start of the game, the g2 players who had just stayed in the hotel and were resting in a training room rented by g2 let out a long sigh together.

But there was no sigh from Gu Feng. At this time, he turned on the computer in the training room, plugged in the mobile solid-state drive he brought with him, and was playing "Elden Far Loop". Because he was wearing headphones, he did not hear the head coach speaking.

Seeing that Gu Feng was still addicted to games, the cousin on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled off Gu Feng's headphones and said, "The coach is talking."

Only then did Gu Feng turn around after realizing it.

Coach xtqzzz didn't care about this. Although Gu Feng was suspected of slutty, the coach really couldn't say anything about Gu Feng's training attitude and his personal abilities during this period. As long as Gu Feng didn't do too much, he basically turned a blind eye. If he had strength, he could have privileges.

However, when he turned to look at the other players of g2 with exhausted faces, the coach still couldn't bear to continue the high-intensity training. Although he didn't know the idiom, he still knew this truth.

So after a pause, he looked at the players in g2 coach xtqzzz with a straight face and said, "Today and tomorrow, the coaching staff are ready..."

Everyone who heard this g2, including Gu Feng, seemed to accept his fate, prepare the mouse and keyboard, because every time the coach starts with such words, it means that training will be carried out later.

"...I'll give you two days off." But after a pause, the coach looked at the g2 players who were getting up and said with a serious look on his face.

The coach's sudden words made the players of g2 stunned, and then they all looked up at the coach in disbelief. The expression on their faces was extremely wonderful, with a little joy in doubt, and a little disbelief in joy.

Then I saw the coach looking at them and nodding with a smile.

"yeah!"

"Wuhu!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Cool!"

"I'll pay for the nightclub tonight!"

Young Master Ni shouted and picked up his bag and prepared to go out, but he was stopped by the coach after just two steps.

The coach stopped Mr. Ni as if he had pressed a pause button on all the players in g2. Gu Feng stopped with his headphones, and the cheers of others also came to an abrupt end. m0nesy jumped into the air and landed in a daze.

They are all afraid that the coach will make another trick. After all, this coach not only looks vicious, but he is not vague when he is scolding people during training.

So during this period, xtqzzz still accumulated a lot of prestige among the five players in g2.

However, after xtqzzz stopped Mr. Ni, he did not say that he could not go, but instructed: "The competition is about to start, letting fans know that it will be a little troublesome if you go to a nightclub now, so take cover when you go out and don't arouse public opinion."

Young Master Ni set his mind and saluted a military salute inappropriately. He said playfully and seriously: "   yes,   sir!"

Then Young Master Ni winked at his cousin and the others in g2, and then ran out of the training room with a laugh and laughter under xtqzzz's gaze.

Gu Feng put on his headphones again, sat back in front of the computer, and continued to play with the old man's ring, and did not go out with Mr. Ni and the others in a crazy way.

After all, Gu Feng doesn't drink, and a person who doesn't drink will feel that he is out of place when he goes there, so he simply doesn't want to go there directly. Gu Feng doesn't want to go there.

Seeing that Gu Feng had not gone out and said nothing, the coach nodded and told Gu Feng to remember to cut off the electricity from the rented training room when he went back to rest.

Although the players were given a vacation, the coach's work was not over, and the club still had a lot of things to deal with.

On the one hand, the G2 publicity department needs him and the manager of the CSSG branch to check the recruitment. On the other hand, the analyst department still has a lot of information that needs to be organized. The coaching profession is really not an easy job.

Today, Gu Feng is only the first time he has played the Old Man Ring. Although it has been almost half a month since the Old Man Ring is released, Gu Feng has been in high-intensity training camps and has no time to play.

Originally, they thought that when they came to Cologne, they would still maintain their original training intensity and had no extra time to play other games, but Gu Feng's hands were itchy and tight, so during the time he just arrived at the training room, Gu Feng was going to start a game to see if this game was really as excellent as a promotional video.

...

Although the coach said that he gave the players of G2 for two days off, the players of G2 should have done no less daily training during these two days. They need to spend about three hours of training every day, and they also need to play five games in the ladder.

But in general, it is much better than the half-month devil training camp. At least they can spare five or six hours a day for entertainment.

After a brief relaxation for two days, the players of g2 arrived at the competition venue early on the third day and prepared to start today's competition.

Today we are going to play two games in the second half of the game. The four teams are: Bees vs. Navi and G2 vs. Faze.

To be honest, g2 was very happy when he found out that his opponent in the semi-finals was Faze. After all, IEM not long ago gave Faze a good lesson.

I believe Faze will definitely feel uncomfortable after discovering that his opponent in the semi-finals is G2.

However, after g2 was happy, he felt a little uncomfortable because the opponents in the same area as them were Navi and Little Bee.

No matter who wins G2, it is difficult to fight between these two teams, but the greater possibility is that Navi wins. After all, the little bee was cut in half like G2. Gu Feng doesn't think that the little bee can train for half a month without rest like their g2. If you can't practice, you will go to death.

The venue for this competition is a large stadium that can accommodate 21,000 people. Gu Feng has reason to suspect that the ESL official used the less bonus to the loan venue. After all, after he really entered the venue, he found that the venue of ESL is more luxurious than IEM.

And because this is a stadium-like competition venue, the whole is an oval, there are some areas where there is no way to see the competition venue.

However, the organizer ingeniously laid nearly 5,000 plastic stools in the open space in the middle, and in the end the venue could accommodate a terrifying 23,000 spectators, which was a blessing for them to think of.

After entering the venue, we simply prepared to take the stage. Then, under the introduction of the host, everyone in G2 walked through the backstage to the middle of the stage, feeling the cheers of more than 20,000 people, and everyone had a shocking feeling.

Even Gu Feng, a person who has seen many large-scale events, was a little weak under the gaze of more than 20,000 people, let alone m0nesy. If my cousin hadn't been helping him, he wouldn't be able to walk.

The entry ceremony was completed under the gaze of the audience, and then the players of g2 turned around and entered the competition room to start pre-match preparations.

During this period, Gu Feng also looked at the situation on Faze with his own eyes and found that the players on Faze seemed to be much calmer. It seems that the competition experience still depends on Faze's old pussy.

After entering the competition seat, my cousin put m0nesy in his own position, and then joked to m0nesy: "The last time IEM, more than 10,000 viewers didn't see you so scared. Do you need to change your pants?"

When he heard his cousin's words, m0nesy blushed. He was not nervous at first, but as the home court of G2, G2 as a German team, 70% of the audience at the scene were fans of G2, and 10% of the audience were fans of Gu Feng. This wave of home atmosphere was filled with the atmosphere. When the G2 players came out, the cheers burst out from the audience scared m0nesy.

That's why m0nesy has such a sign of losing control.

Gu Feng, who was beside him, also came over and said with a smile: "There is a pair of spare pants in my training room, why don't you lend it to it first?"

M0nesy couldn't stand being teased by his teammates. After Gu Feng finished speaking, m0nesy laughed and scolded Gu Feng and his cousin. Then, like other players in g2, he opened a gun training map for the community creative workshop and began to get familiar with the computer.

After being interrupted and teased by Gu Feng and his cousin, m0nesy's nervousness was gone. Basically, as long as you don't make any major mistakes, it is unlikely that there will be any problems with m0nesy's mentality.

This wave is mainly attributed to his cousin. His on-the-spot judgment and observation of the players are indeed meticulous. Gu Feng just made an assist in this wave.

After all, it was the first time I came into contact with the computer prepared by the organizer. The organizer gave enough time for g2 and faze players to prepare and debug for safe reasons.

During this period, the organizer will play some exciting operations made by the players in this competition, and then give an explanation to analyze the recent situation and situation of the two teams, and then play a pre-match interview that has been recorded before the game, or a short video prepared by the official, as well as an advertisement inserted by the sponsor's father.

After a set of processes, it took more than 20 minutes to go directly.

However, just 20 minutes is enough for Gu Feng and his teammates to be familiar with the computer they used in front of them. Gu Feng also ran to the official server to slaughter a wave of cute foreign newbies.
