Eighteen hours later, Zhao Yiyang woke up and woke up, and finally arrived in Atlanta at 7:30 in the morning of Eastern Time.

After getting off the plane and completing the procedures, the ELEAGUE's small passenger bus also parked in the airport parking lot.

Located on the platform of the Appalachian foothills at an altitude of 350 meters, Atlanta is one of the three major highland cities in the United States, the capital of Georgia and the largest industrial and commercial city. It once held the Centennial Olympics in 1996.

In his previous life, Zhao Yiyang actually came here a few times, but this time, as a professional CSGO player, it felt very wonderful to come here to participate in the qualifiers of CSGO's most authoritative official event.

It took about an hour to get from the airport to the hotel. After Tianlu completed the job, they found that eight teams had arrived here.

"Everyone have a break first. We had an appointment for the training match between AVANGAR and Cowboys in the afternoon!"

Long before boarding the plane, the club's manager and team leader Datou had already made an appointment for the first day of training, and it was too late to make an appointment for the next day of training today.

AVANGAR is currently ranked 37th in the world. However, after introducing Russian sniper Jame, their strength is actually stronger than their rankings. Needless to say, Cowboy is considered an old acquaintance with Tianlu.

Although the time difference needs to be adjusted, the Tianlu team members chose to go back to their respective rooms to take a break after having a simple breakfast in the hotel. After all, the rest on the plane was not very good.

At 12 noon, Datou called all the players to get up on time and went downstairs to have lunch together. The afternoon training competition will start at 14 o'clock, and the official shooting time of major will be in the evening.

After all, majO's largest official event, especially on this timeline, the major, which originally had a total prize of 1 million US dollars, had been increased to 2 million US dollars in 2016. This prize is a top star among all current S-level events.

When they come to play games abroad, especially in European and American countries, the biggest problem they encounter is not the jet lag, but the food.

Because Tianlu had just arrived in Atlanta, he didn't choose to order takeout from local Chinese restaurants for lunch, but just ate a few bites on the hotel's restaurant facade.

In fact, for Zhao Yiyang, it feels good to eat Western food occasionally, but if he eats it every day, he can't stand it.

...

"The maps we trained with AVANGAR are overpass and inferno, everyone is ready!"

The training competition is not a formal competition, so everyone wants to train a map that they are not particularly strong or have similar strengths. Therefore, Tianlu took the initiative to choose the Death Amusement Park in the BO2 training competition, while the other party chose inferno.

Zhao Yiyang is still familiar with this AVANGAR. After all, this team won the runner-up of the Berlin major in 2019 in its previous life. Currently, Jame, Qikert and Buster are members of that runner-up team.

Moreover, their playing style is somewhat similar to Tianlu, and they all revolve around snipers. In other words, the snipers of the two teams are the core members of the team.

Especially AVANGAR, although Jame has a very good reputation in the circle and is nicknamed "Jame time" by players because of his frequent gun protection, Jame's strength cannot be underestimated as a sniper. Not only can he command his teammates, but he is also a standard sixth-playing style.

This gave Tianlu a very clear impression in the training match. In the overpass map, Tianlu always struggles to break through James' defense in Area A on the offensive side.

Moreover, they will find that this person especially likes to steal people in front of A. Even if they are on guard, they will still be beaten by the other party unexpectedly.

When Tianlu defended, they felt AVANGAR's strong breakthrough during the attack. The attacking sniper still adhered to the sixth's style of playing, which made Tianlu's defense very uncomfortable.

To be honest, in Asia, or in the competitions that Tianlu participated in before, their opponents actually did not have any good snipers, which led to Zhao Yiyang always showing off alone in the game.

But when he arrived in Atlanta, when Tianlu had the opportunity to fight directly with the world's top team, they felt the outstanding manifestation of the other party's personal abilities, especially Zhao Yiyang, who for the first time truly felt the pressure brought to him by the opponent's sniper.

This pressure is not only reflected in the face of the gun, but also in the opposing sniper's forced positioning to them. As long as they make a small mistake in their position, they can be captured by the enemy.

"That's so strong!"

In the end, in the first training match, Tianlu was beaten 16 to 8 by AVANGAR at the Death Amusement Park, and it can be said that he has no power to fight back.

Even Zhao Yiyang, who had bullet time, only started once in 24 rounds. That time he used bullet time to complete the endgame 1V2, but it was still difficult to help his team turn the situation around. In the end, he only got a tragic record of 18 kills.

"Brothers, don't be autistic. The training match was originally intended for everyone to learn and improve. In Asia, we had no way to train with these cis or European and American teams, so it is normal to be unfamiliar with their style. We strive to perform well in the next move!"

The second map is inferno Purgatory Town, which is Tianlu's strong map. Although AVANGAR only played 26 Purgatory Town in the past 2017, their winning rate is also above 50%. However, for teams that want to attack world-class teams, this number and winning rate are actually not very convincing.

Sure enough, in inferno, Tianlu obviously felt that the other party had lost the spirituality on the overpass.

In fact, this is because Tianlu is so familiar with inferno that they know very clearly where to be a slut and when will the other party copy the butt. In this way, it will be difficult for Lao Liu's Jame to play to make Tianlu's players obscene.

16 to 12, Tianlu successfully won a championship in his strong picture.

Although this BO2 Tianlu is one win and one loser, every player took a deep breath after the game.

"Sure enough, there is still a difference in training quality!" Someone expressed such a feeling.

To be honest, the pressure on Tianlu players in this BO2 training match with AVANGAR is even greater than that of playing a BO3 in China, not to mention that they may not feel anything after playing a training match in China, but here, if they haven't finished a picture, no matter whether they win or lose, they can really learn something!

"So, everyone hurry up and seize this opportunity. Whether we can enter the main competition is not the most important thing. The most important thing is whether we can find our future improvement through this experience!"
