Chapter 121 The end of the season

Another champion, Zhao Yiyang even felt bored. The main reason is that these competitions are not large-scale competitions, and the participating teams are all third-team teams, and they even have to pay the participating teams to play. It is not good if they don’t want to play.

Fortunately, after returning from Shenzhen, Tianlu finally heard good news, that is, all the American visas they had applied for before were completed, and now there may be problems with only one foreign aid visa left.

However, according to B himself, he still has a great chance of getting his US visa, but Tianlu still makes second-hand preparations.

In fact, in the previous life, there was a problem with B's visa, but after that, he successfully got the US visa, so Zhao Yiyang didn't know what would happen this time.

However, the team still needs to train, and the team should participate in the competition.

After returning to Hangzhou from Shenzhen, Tianlu participated in two more online competitions and did not play seriously. After all, no one can tell what the situation of such online competitions are.

Soon, time came on December 4. On this day, the members of the Tianlu team packed their luggage and flew from Hangzhou to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where they will usher in the last game of 2017, the ROG Masters.

There are only six teams participating in this competition, namely the new majambit Red Star, but it is no longer the team that won the championship before, and the legendary commander of cis Zeus.

After leaving Navi, the Ukrainian veteran led Gambit to win the only major championship trophy in Cis, and then returned to the reorganized Navi.

However, even if the team lost its command, this Red Star still ranks 11th in the world and is considered the biggest opponent of Tianlu's competition.

In addition, the ROG Masters are Vege, who participated in the competition with Tianlu and won the runner-up in Shenzhen, as well as the second brother of Australia, and the North American team Splyce. The last team is 5POWER, an Asian team composed of two Chinese players, two Mongolian players and one Thai player.

The competition system is not very common. First, six teams are divided into three groups and then play a single-cycle BO2 group stage. Then, based on the group record, the first group in each group is determined to enter the semi-finals directly. The remaining four teams cross to play the first round of the knockout round. After deciding the winner, they will play the semi-finals with the first place in the previous two groups, and finally the finals.

The first round of the knockout round and semi-finals adopt the BO3 system, while the finals adopt the BO5. This means that the prize money of the event is high enough. The champion can get more than 110,000 US dollars, and the runner-up also has a prize of nearly 60,000 yuan. Otherwise, few teams would come back to play such a game.

Tianlu was assigned to Group B when he was grouped, and was assigned to Group B with Australian Second Brother Greyhound and CIS team Vega.

Kuala Lumpur is still very hot in December. After all, it is a tropical city, so Tianlu's team members are a little uncomfortable.

In the first day of the group stage, their performance in the first game was not very good, and they played 1-1 with Vega who had lost to them 0-4 before. Fortunately, they won the second Australian brother 2-0, and their total score was one win and one draw and advanced to the semi-finals.

So, they had a day off the next day. During this day, Tianlu's players did not leave the hotel and went out to redirect, but watched the game in the hotel, reviewed the rep and played two training matches with the strongest team of the game, Red Star.

The results of the ROG Masters' second day were not unpopular. Vega defeated the weakest 5POWER in this game, while Greyhounds defeated splyce.

In the end, in the semi-finals, Tianlu will face the Greyhound who has already fought once in the group stage.

2-1, this is the score between Tianlu and Greyhounds. It may be because this is the last offline game of the entire season this year, so Tianlu's players are not in very good shape, including Zhao Yiyang. He will return to school to prepare for the final exam after the game, so their training volume and quality have declined a lot compared to the previous month.

"Brothers! Our winning rate with Red Star tomorrow is really low. Don't think that this is the last game and don't pay attention to it. Don't you want to put a perfect end to your 2017?"

Although Hank repeated the importance of this game with the players over and over again, everyone knows that the club does not require the results of this game, and they even think that they have reached the finals. The championship prize is more, but it is hard to say when it will be distributed.

Moreover, in the training matches before, Tianlu did not perform well when facing Red Star. The map pool of the new major champion was no problem first, and secondly, they still retained the unique shooting advantage of the CIS team.

Therefore, in the BP in the final, Hank could only ban the nuke that they could not play at all, but the other party took the initiative to choose the castle.

Then, Hongxing chose Tianlu for two consecutive times, but he was not very good at overpass, and Tianlu could only choose the train.

The last remaining map is mirage.

This BP result is actually very unfavorable for Tianlu, because the first two maps are not the maps they are familiar with, or they are not the maps they practice a lot.

Especially for the castle, because Zhao Yiyang himself doesn’t like to play this map very much, after he joined Tianlu, they rarely receive training from the castle in training matches.

At the same time, Zhao Yiyang is also very clear that the castle will be moved out of the competitive map pool at the beginning of next year, so there is no need for them to spend their time on this map.

Correspondingly, if they want to become a first-team team, they must practice another map they don't play in the following offseason, which is Nuke.

In fact, teams like Tianlu who now have two maps that cannot play can win three championships at the end of the year, which is actually a miracle in the eyes of many people. This is also a very important reason why many people in the world think that Tianlu is actually a weak team.

Indeed, their BP opponents in previous games were basically second- and third-tier teams, and these teams also had maps that they played poorly, so they would inevitably overlap with Tianlu.

Moreover, the few opponents they encountered who were stronger than themselves on paper did underestimate the opponent during the game. Under the BO3 competition system, they did not encounter too much disadvantage of BP.

Therefore, in this uncommon BO5 game, Tianlu's disadvantage on the map was obviously magnified.

After losing 4-16 in the first castle without any resistance, the second map overpass fought fiercely to overtime. Although Zhao Yiyang started two bullets in overtime and sent two 1V3 and 2V4 images that were enough to be featured in the highlights, he finally lost 22-20.

Tianlu, who lost two sets in a row, fell into autism for a long time, and no one wanted to fight, so in the third train, their performance was also disaster-level. Even Zhao Yiyang's performance was not very good, especially during the time when he turned on the bullet, he had already sighted the enemy's body, but the sniper rifle was still empty.

In the end, Tianlu lost to Gambit with a huge gap of 0-3 in this final.

"Forget it! Have a good rest during the holidays, Xiaoyi, take the exam with peace of mind. Let's gather to train again until December 23!"

Tianlu's 2017 season came to an end with an unsatisfactory ending. The past is over, and what they have to face next is the brand new 2018 season.
Chapter completed!
