Chapter 289 Marseille
Marseille, the southern port city of France, is the third largest city in France after Paris and Lyon.
The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Mediterranean climate makes Marseille a little hot at the end of April. After Tianlu arrived at the hotel in Marseille, they did not go directly to the training room to start training, but instead went out to stroll in the afternoon.
The port cities in the west have completely different styles from the port cities in the east. The people here are very enthusiastic and retain many medieval buildings.
The population of Marseille has always been mixed. On the streets, you can not only see more obvious white people, but also blacks and Italians. However, the most are residents of North African descent. By looking through the local travel guide manual, you can tell that 25% of the population in Marseille is Algerian and Tunisian.
There may be many people who can't tell what kind of blood these people are at all, but Zhao Yiyang knows that in the field of football, there is an emperor superstar who is an Algerian born in Marseille, that is Zidane.
At this time, the great French legendary superstar was still leading Real Madrid to sprint towards their third Champions League trophy. Perhaps if there is still some rest time after this game, Zhao Yiyang hopes to see the game of his favorite team in Europe.
Of course, Zhao Yiyang will always support Bayern Munich!
The free atmosphere of Marseille is very strong. From the time of the French Revolution, the Marseille sang war songs and entered Paris. This passionate song later became the French national anthem, which is "Marseille".
In the afternoon of the same day, Tianlu and his group arrived on a boat to Ives Island. There was a castle on the island that was originally used to detain many political prisoners, but it was famous for Dumas' novel "The Earl of Monte Cristo".
From Ives Island, you can clearly see the Castle of St. John and St. Nicholas Castle. These two castles are located on the Old Port rebuilt after World War II, allowing people to still feel the strong atmosphere of the Louis XIV era.
In the evening, Tianlu team came to a local specialty restaurant. This restaurant was introduced by an acquaintance. Everyone ordered some barbecue and wine for a drink, and then returned to the hotel.
...
The morning sunlight in the local Mediterranean Sea shones on Zhao Yiyang's face again, and his sleepy eyes were forced to open.
Open the hotel window, and there is a endless beach not far away. I have to say that the Dreamhack organizer still has something to choose the contestant's hotel.
This morning, all the sixteen teams participating in the Dreamhack Masters will take promotional photos together. Because it is an A-level event, there is not as much media publicity as major or Kato, so there is no promotional video or anything like that.
Soon, after everyone took a simple shot of promotional photos, each team returned to their respective training rooms and began to use the last half day to warm up.
Tianlu's opponents were not strong in training on the last day before the game. The two teams were the Turkish Legion Space Soldiers led by the Turkish ruthless man Xantares and another French team Envy.
However, although the rankings of these two teams and their performance this year are not as good as Tianlu, Tianlu's performance in the training competition was not ideal.
Maybe I went out to play hard yesterday and felt that the players' condition had not been adjusted yet.
"Everyone have a good rest tonight! The first game tomorrow is crucial!"
For this situation, the coach has no good idea. He can only look forward to the players resting for a night and performing until tomorrow's main competition.
Dreamhack's group stage also adopts the GSL system, but in order to shorten the game process, the first two rounds of the group stage, that is, the matches that do not involve qualifying places are all BO1.
Tianlu is in Group C. Their first round opponent is C9, who once defeated them on major and was revengeful to them on SLI.
Although C9 is not in good shape after major, it is impossible for anyone to underestimate the strength of major champions.
Therefore, Tianlu also made sufficient preparations for C9, and these preparations were first selected in ban.
Because the first round is BO1, in this case, the maps everyone plays must be the most regular maps. Therefore, Tianlu prepared two sets of tactics that can be applied in mirage and inferno in advance.
Sure enough, when the game started the next day, the map of the game was really mirage.
"mirage! Both sides are good at this map, and Tianlu must be said to be one of the three. For C9, this map is also the traditional skill of their North American team."
With the opening of the commentary, the match between Tianlu and C9 officially began!
It was still a sword fight session when Tianlu lost to the North Americans in the swordsmanship again, so he could only start from the offensive side.
However, their design of the game before the game was more about offensive tactics.
In the pistol game, Tianlu did not choose the usual B-point explosive bomb tactics, but instead used a set of A-point explosive bombs. It happened that the B-level defense was adopted by C9, leaving only a police CT to observe. Therefore, after the two smoke bombs of Tianlu passed the jumping platform and the arch, they successfully buried the thunder bag as if they were entering a nobody's land.
Although there was a fierce exchange of fire with C9 during the subsequent guarding of the bag, Tianlu still won the pistol game with Mo's pistol performance.
In the second game, although Tianlu's economy was enough to make three small AKs, they still chose to let Zhao Yiyang get AK alone, and the rest of them fully allocated the throwing objects.
Because in the second round, C9 will definitely be an eco, and the most effective tactic against the defensive Eirage is still the explosive bomb tactic.
Therefore, Tianlu replicated the first round's playing style again in the second round.
But this time, C9 directly emptied Area A, and they knew they were eco, so they simply bet on the point in Area B.
2 to 0, Tianlu gained a certain advantage at the beginning.
In the third round, Tianlu directly took out the offensive tactics they prepared before the game, which was the classic liquid flying second floor tactics.
Three people were hiding in the second floor of A, and two were left in A1 to prepare for bomb explosions.
When the flash bomb exploded above point A, DD and B with the submachine gun were pulled out first. Their task was to search for positions that were easy to be evil, such as the second floor and the dead center. Zhao Yiyang's AK appeared from the second floor later, mainly to attack a policeman who was caught by the bandits who jumped out of the second floor first.
3-0, another successful tactic, Tianlu directly won this key third point.
With these three-point bases, for Tianlu, who is very familiar with this map, most of their tension before the game disappeared.
Chapter completed!
