The first day Tianlu arrived in Atlanta passed like this. After everyone could not hold on until they could not hold on, everyone could finally adjust their jet lag through a refreshing sleep.

Because on the second day, they will usher in two truly quality training matches, and the opponents of the training match are the two teams with great strength in this qualifier, G2 and FlipSid3.

Because this new challenge group competition uses the Swiss round, the organizer divided the 16 participating teams into four pools, each with four teams in it.

The teams in the first two pools naturally failed to match the legendary team in the last major competition, while the remaining two pools were allocated according to the rankings of each regional qualifier.

Because Tianlu won the Asian minor championship, they were in the No. 3 Pool.

Although the first round draw will not be known tomorrow, the training between the teams should avoid the teams they may encounter in the first round as much as possible, because the Swiss round match system uses BO1 in each round. If you get too much information for the interested team, then there is a very likely upset situation in the BO1 game.

The reason why F3 took over Tianlu's training match is because they are the weakest team in the No. 1 pool. After they scored 9-11 in the previous major, the strongest player in the team, "Electronic" eleic, went to the dream holy land of all cis players - navi.

The top libero who was replaced by him from Navi also fell sharply. They performed very poorly in the several qualifiers after PGL major.

Therefore, they are also considered to be one of the weakest teams in this major qualifier.

G2 was able to take over Tianlu's training matches entirely because of the optimism of the French. Moreover, the G2 club is also a team that has been established for a short time. They have much more views on some things than those old-fashioned teams.

On January 9, the Tianlu team members got up in the morning and were pulled to the same place to take promotional photos and some introduction videos.

Here, Zhao Yiyang has seen all the players participating in this qualifier for the first time. Among them, the most popular team is undoubtedly FaZe. This team is currently ranked second in the world. They showed their dominance in the second half of last year, and everyone is optimistic that they can qualify successfully in this qualifier.

Among them, FaZe also made their wonderful performance in 2017. In addition to directing "big cousin" karrigan, the other four players were all on the top 20 list.

Among them, NiKo has the highest ranking, second only to coldzera, while the breakthrough hand Rain ranks fourth, sniper GuardiaN ranks ninth, and the remaining top 1, olofmeister ranks 19th.

This is the Galaxy Battleship in CSGO, star-studded.

In addition to FaZe, the one that attracts the most attention is aVi, because last year's top8 was also recognized as the most talented player - s1mple, which is among the team.

In addition, they also have the "Two Elders of Xuanming", the legendary figures of cis, Edward and Zeus, as well as flamenco and the top gun male electronic brother who replaced seized.

Compared to the confident appearance of these well-known teams, the Tianlu team members obviously have a much lower presence. However, Zhao Yiyang, who was standing in the corner, looked at these star players surrounded by them and suddenly thought of a lyric: "That 18th, the alma mater dance party, stood like a minion. At that time, I swear with tears in my eyes that you must see me!"

Although he was not a minion and did not have tears in his eyes, he really sweared that he would definitely be able to see Zhao Yiyang in such a central position in the future.

After the shooting in the morning, the contestants returned to the hotel and began normal training.

The first training match in the afternoon was with FlipSid3. This cis team once entered the legendary group in Cologne in 2016, and there was also a legendary figure in the team, Markeloff.

However, when the legendary characters will also leave, Little Ma Ge is no longer a great sniper who has led NaVi to countless championships for 10 years. After transforming into CSGO, he did not get a sniper rifle, but became a rifleman.

In addition, their team's WorldEdit and wayLander are also nerve guns, and they are good and bad at the same time.

Because the F3 team does not play cache, Tianlu took the initiative to choose nuke for practice, while F3 chose Inferno, who did not play well, to train.

Once again, when I came to Nuke's map, Tianlu's performance was much better than when he played in the SLI qualifiers in China.

With F3's future B1ad3, who will become a coach in Navi, their control of maps and grasp of timing have also learned a lot.

After losing nuke, Tianlu immediately found the place on inferno, and F3 also saw how difficult it is to fight a small town called one of Tianlu's three axes.

After training with F3, Tianlu finally ushered in the most heavy and strongest training match in the past two days - G2.

This French team, which was previously formed by the major championship team, is currently ranked 7th in the world and is also considered to be one of the most promising teams to appear 3-0 in this qualifier.

Faced with such a strong enemy, Tianlu directly chose the inferno, whom he is most confident in, and wanted to see what problems he might have in the face of pressure in the town.

G2 chose overpass, and their performance on this map was not very good. In the past year, the winning rate at Death Amusement Park will exceed 50%.

However, Tianlu is not very good at typing this map, so G2 may also want to find the feel of overpass.

Two hours later, Tianlu's team members collapsed on the chairs. They lost, and both maps were beaten by G2's small points. Even though their very confident inferno only got 10 points in G2's hands.

"So strong!"

Zhao Yiyang felt how terrible the strength of the truly strong team in this major qualifier. Even when facing the VP ranked 6th in the world at that time last year, they had never felt the oppression just now.

Whether it was shooting skills or decision-making, Tianlu had no power to fight back at G2 at this time, and Zhao Yiyang also felt how terrible KennyS, the world's top sniper, was.

He felt that if kennyS was in good condition, his reaction at some moments was even similar to that of Zhao Yiyang's own time to turn on the bullet. Anyway, from the perspective of "naturally" he could almost achieve "instant capture"!

However, although they lost the game, the four high-quality training games in two days still allowed Tianlu to learn a lot, especially some details that European and CIS teams would pay special attention to, which were all impossible to discover in Asia.

Zhao Yiyang couldn't help but look forward to the scene when they went to Ukraine for training after the New Year. It would definitely be the first time in his career that his strength would be able to leap forward!
