Chapter 244 Entering the quarterfinals
In the world of CSGO, the rise of a professional team may only require one opportunity. Every year, all kinds of dark horses will emerge.
It is difficult for a dark horse to maintain its strength at its peak. Even if the professional competition is held in 2018, there are only a few teams that can maintain its world's top teams for more than two years.
For Tianlu, they knew very well that the achievements they had achieved were actually the dividends after changing people. After several years of searching, they finally found the five most suitable people.
They are the dark horses, a dark horse from the CS desert - Asia. The players do not ask that they can stay in the top ten or even the top eight in the world for how long. They only hope that they have done it before and that even the Chinese CS players who have worked hard so many times have not done it.
IEM Katowitz, this sacred place of CSGO, is also one of the most famous CSGO large-scale events in the world. Now, in its history, the Chinese team has finally appeared.
Audiences from all over Europe finally had the opportunity to see this team that had left a deep impression on people, competing in front of the best audience in the world in real offline competitions.
“Wow oh oh oh oh oh!”
"Awesome! Fuck me!"
"So awesome!"
After winning, Tianlu's players jumped up from the chairs and hugged each other, as if they had won the championship.
Or, for them, they were excited and excited to win the championships they had won in the past.
"Guys! I only dreamed of being able to stand on the stage of Kato in my dreams!"
When YNK saw his team members so excited, he suddenly remembered his career that he could describe as "failure", and suddenly shed tears.
When he cried like this, he was stunned by the Tianlu team members who were celebrating.
"What's wrong? We didn't cry. This new coach actually cried so much!"
YNK squatted on the ground and felt that the atmosphere was not very right. The team members who were shouting suddenly disappeared, so he quickly got up and quickly moved to the bathroom while saying "sorry!sorry!".
"Okay, don't care about him, let's continue to celebrate!"
Although that's the case, I suddenly poured cold water on you in the mood. This feeling is no less than that of lifting the gun immediately but finding that the gun cannot be lifted.
"I don't know who we will face in the quarterfinals? I hope someone is a little weak!"
Since Tianlu has reached the quarterfinals, it is time for them to look forward to the offline quarterfinals that will be held in four days.
However, this game between them and SK is the first qualifying game today, so they still need to wait for the next few games.
After Tianlu advanced first, the second qualifying match in Group A was also matched by Astrails against liquid.
At this time, these two long-time enemies will definitely not think about what kind of achievements they will create in the next year.
Although Liquid often loses to Team A in the finals in the future, they still completed the fastest Grand Slam in the first half of 2019, which can be regarded as a proverb.
Unfortunately, in this qualifying match, the A team, which had not yet reached its peak, still defeated the not-complete liquid with a score of 2-0.
However, it is acceptable for liquids. After all, they performed well in these games in 2018. I believe that as long as the weakest link in their team is replaced by an enhanced version of the player, they can go further and truly join the championship group.
"Team A is so strong!"
The Tianlu team members who watched this game expressed their feelings about the team that beat them up in the training game before. It is true that the current team of this A team has just been formed, but the strength they showed in the training game and this Kato is definitely terrifying.
With the Magic Boys, their frontal firepower that they criticized in the past was also supplemented. In addition, the Danes are good at understanding the maps, they did not encounter any resistance in the group stage at all, and won three games in a row to win another quarter-finals.
SK who lost to Tianlu and liquid who lost to Team A can only be reduced to the loser group. They will compete with the winner of the upcoming loser group for the other two places in the quarterfinals.
The Kato competition system this year is also somewhat different from Zhao Yiyang’s impression. In his memory, if Kato is not a major, his competition system will generally be decided after the group stage and will be held for the knockout round.
But in this world, since majors have changed, then correspondingly, Kato has also changed. Even if it is not major, as one of the most well-known CSGO events in the world, its competition system will be even larger.
After all the first round of the group stage are played, the final quarterfinals will be decided in the next three days.
The specific competition system is like this: the first round of the group stage is the first day of the game, and the second day is to decide the two qualifying places in Group A and the two home games in Group A's losers group.
Similarly, on the third day, there will be two qualifying places in Group B plus two BO3 games in Group B's loser group.
Finally, on the fourth day, the final two quarter-finals in Group A and Group B will be decided.
Then, all teams have another day of rest and finally enter the three-day single-tao quarterfinals.
Therefore, after Tianlu and A team advanced first, the two BO3 games of the A group losers were also played one after another. The Cowboys defeated AVANGAR 2-0, while C9 defeated another CIS team Gambit with a score of 2-1.
Looking at the eliminated AVANGAR, the Tianlu team members seemed to see their own shadow. Once upon a time, they also won consecutive places in the World Championships like AVANGAR, and were eliminated in the World Championships at the Speed of Light.
However, for them, those days have become a thing of the past.
...
"Brothers! Team A has made an appointment with us for the training match next two days!"
That night, Datou found the team members in a hurry and told him about the arrangements for the next two days.
Because they and Team A are the two teams that entered the quarterfinals first, they will have a few days off, and the other two teams in the quarterfinals will have to wait tomorrow to play, so they can only make an appointment with each other for training matches in the past two days.
Team A is not the future kingly army that looks down on the world. Their world rankings are only 5 places higher than Tianlu, so they took the initiative to find Tianlu.
"Brothers, although we have never won the training match with Team A before, it is a good thing for others to practice with us! How can we narrow the gap if we don't practice? Training hard."
Chapter completed!
