Chapter 170 Cold
[shit! This Chinese team is giving away money!]
【Let’s go VP!】
【Let’s go liquid!Let’s go!】
【It looks good now!】
After seeing the two sides in the first two groups of confrontation, all the audience, no matter where they came from, had a lot to say in their hearts.
For North American CS fans, they are undoubtedly happy, because they first know that although their strength is not at the bottom of the 16 teams in the main competition, they are definitely not in the middle or upper reaches.
Therefore, after seeing the team they supported draw the two seemingly weakest opponents, these people naturally smiled happily.
However, for the fans of the two veteran teams, BIG and VP, they are definitely unhappy. In fact, although these people say that the team they support is not weak, they actually know in their hearts that they are definitely not strong.
Therefore, these people can only comfort themselves and draw an opponent that is not sure to win them.
Just like VP fans still dream that the team they support can return to their peak, the performance of VP in the past few months has told them that this major may really be the last competition for these five people.
...
The lottery activity did not last long, after all, there were only 16 teams, and it was over with a simple draw.
Except for liquid vs. BIG and TYLOO vs. VP, the other games are Gambit and NaVi's CIS civil war, Astralis vs. mousespa, SK and G2, fantic and faze, and finally C9 and QBF.
In this major competition, two new faces appeared, namely Tianlu and QBF. Neither of these two teams had entered the major competition in the past, but their results in the qualifiers were very good.
Overall, the first round of confrontations were evenly matched. After all, the teams that could enter the main competition were definitely very strong. Moreover, it was a BO1 game, so it was hard to say who would win or lose.
"Brothers, come on!"
In the afternoon after the group draw, Tianlu made two more training matches, namely MOUZ, which he had fought in the qualifiers, and another legendary team, Gambit.
Among them, MOUZ directly made a BO2 with Tianlu. After the qualifiers, MOUZ found that they and Tianlu were very close to each other on the map that everyone is good at, so she took the initiative to make a training match with Tianlu.
This also made Tianlu's team members feel what it feels after becoming stronger. It was like a student with mediocre grades suddenly became an excellent student through hard work. Then a teacher would come to you and the eyes of other students to look at you will change.
The top students who might have thought they were unattainable in the past actually seem nothing great now. After all, everyone's grades and rankings are almost the same, so the circle has been updated.
Tianlu felt that if they could win a game in this major competition, at least they would not be eliminated at the bottom. In the European training camp after the Spring Festival, the teams they could get in for may be able to get at least one level more than they expected in the past.
That night, Tianlu did not train until very late, because the next morning, the teams entering the main competition would go to a local park in Atlanta to shoot promotional videos.
The promotional videos of the main competition are obviously higher than those of the qualifiers. During the qualifiers, these teams were crowded in a studio.
However, in the main competition, not only will each team record and shoot outdoors, but the background of each team shooting is different.
Although it was winter in the northern hemisphere, the temperature in Atlanta was not too low, so Zhao Yiyang just wore a long-sleeved jacket and went out.
"Wow! Damn it! It's a little cold!"
However, when he got off the car, he regretted wearing less clothes.
"Ah Yeh!"
A sneeze scared everyone who came to shoot the promotional video today. Now Zhao Yiyang is his ancestor, and whether they can go further depends entirely on this man.
Moreover, Tianlu people knew that Zhao Yiyang's physique was not particularly good, because he had a cold when he was hitting SLI in the Demon City.
After that, Zhao Yiyang kept clamoring to exercise, but because he devoted himself to training, even if he didn't play training matches, he still improved in the world of CSG, so he forgot about fitness.
As a result, in just half a year, he caught a cold twice due to physical reasons.
If you cannot handle the relationship between your physical and professional training and competitions, the title of "E-sports Lin Daiyu" may not belong to Tom Ge, and it will be Zhao Daiyu in the future.
"Come on, put my clothes on!"
Seeing that Zhao Yiyang caught a cold, he didn't let other team members give him clothes, so he could only let Datou do this job.
Zhao Yiyang did not refuse. He also knew that he had indeed overestimated the temperature outside today. After all, the place they came to was a park, and the temperature in the park was lower than that in the city.
However, even though he put on his clothes in time, he inevitably sweated during the interview and caught a cold when the cold wind blew.
"I knew that it was a mess when I came out to shoot promotional videos in this cold weather!"
This is the case with the Americans. These people may not be afraid of the cold. Sometimes they are still wearing short-sleeved sleeves when they are below zero. So, they didn't think so much, just think that pulling them out to the park to pick a scene is more worthy of the major competition.
In this way, Zhao Yiyang was catching a cold, and still put a few poses with his team and then briefly accepted the interview.
The main content of the interview was to learn what preparations the opponent was as a VP in the first round, what goals were for 16 to 8, etc.
The shooting was until 2 pm. On the way back to the hotel, Zhao Yiyang finally couldn't hold on anymore and got off the car and went for an injection with Datou halfway.
He also took a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments: "This scene feels familiar!"
Tianlu only took one training match that night, and it was obvious that Zhao Yiyang's performance under the fever did show a significant decline.
"There will be two days left to play! Take a good rest during these two days!"
There is no way, they are a team, a whole. If someone gets sick in one link, the quality of the overall training will decline rapidly.
"Fortunately, each team will only have one game every day."
If Tianlu can perform well enough in the main competition, especially when facing the VP on the first day, then when they wait until later, as the team's core physical condition gradually recovers, they will actually have the opportunity to attack better results.
