Chapter 318 Nightmare

Although I said I couldn't beat it verbally, I still need to prepare what I should prepare.

Tianlu's current state is the same as that of the students before the exam. He knows very well what level he is, but he always fantasizes about what I will take tomorrow and what I will review today?

However, this kind of fantasy is often defeated by the reality that happens immediately.

...

On May 6th, on the day when Labor Day just ends, the BO5 final between Tianlu and Astralis will begin.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the contestants all arrived at the competition venue and entered the battle zone to start the final debugging.

"If Tianlu wants to win this BO5, he must have an advantage in the selection of the map."

Playing with machines also started broadcasting in advance for the first time. We began to analyze today's trend with the audience who were already squatting in the live broadcast room.

"First of all, Tianlu's best map is mirage, irain, where mirage is not played by Team A. At least from this game, they have always been a ban on it."

"Then, the NUKE on Tianlu's side is definitely not allowed, so they can only choose trains or inferno first."

"No, fellow water friends, it seems that Team A's train and inferno are also very strong!"

As they analyzed, everyone seemed to find that except for mirage, Tianlu seemed to have little chance of winning on other maps. Even if they were the train and inferno, they could only say that they had 50% chance of winning with Team A.

In fact, Team A can dominate the world in 2018 and 2019, and their wide picture pool is also a very important factor.

Starting from the team formation, this team's performance in the castle and mirage was actually not very good, especially the castle. After internal evaluation by the team members, they chose to permanently ban this map, just like Tianlu would always ban NUKE.

However, the level of mirage can only be said to be average, and it is definitely inferior to those teams that are good at mirage, but it also has the power to fight.

This is also an important reason why they were able to win championships in 2017, but their condition was not as stable as SK and FaZe.

However, as V Club removed the castle from the competitive map pool, some of Team A's disadvantages in the map pool were directly eliminated. In addition, the addition of the Demon Man made this team stronger, stable frontal firepower and superb throwing objects. They finally completed the game in April 2018.

In the Dreamhack Masters that just ended, they only lost to liquid in the group stage and won the championship trophy with 3 2-0.

At this time of IEM Sydney, they still haven't lost any weakness before entering the finals. After using the ban position to ban their only disadvantages, they no longer have any weaknesses.

Therefore, there is no big difference between Tianlu’s analysis results last night and the analysis results just explained. If they want to win Team A, they can only expect the physical condition of the A team members today or some other off-court factors.

...

"Okay, I just analyzed such a lot of things, and now the BP of the game has finally started. Because it is a BO5 game, each team only has one ban map. "

"Tianlu really banned Nuke, and Team A also banned the mirage."

"Look at what Tianlu will choose. This map is very important to them. If they can win Team A, it's okay to go on, but if they can't win, it may be gone!"

"Oh? They chose the train! It seems that Tianlu still feels that his train is the most confident at the moment!"

"Team A chose overpass, and they knew that Tianlu was not very proficient in this map! However, Tianlu Er chose inferno, which is also a good thing. At least in the first three maps, there are two of them that they will definitely be able to play with Team A!"

The next four and five pictures are naturally cache and DUST2. After all the maps have been confirmed, the players from both sides have officially entered the host of the competition.

"Guys! Don't be stressed! Just show your true level in the game! Maybe the opponent's condition suddenly declined today. We have created history now, and everyone is on the battlefield with lightweight clothes!"

Although YNK has been reducing pressure for Tianlu’s players before the game, the first time playing in this offline competition is facing the A team, currently ranked No. 1 in the world. The players said it is impossible to have no pressure.

In this case, there is no barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes, because Team A is not the kind of team that will underestimate the enemy at all.

Finally, after about five minutes of warm-up, the BO5 match between Tianlu and Team A finally began.

...

...

"Zhao Yiyang got up! If you can't get up, you can't catch up with the plane!"

Ke Liu called Zhao Yiyang several times before calling Zhao Yiyang out of bed.

That's right, Zhao Yiyang has insomnia because, when he was lying in bed last night, he closed his eyes and saw the scene in the final in the afternoon.

miserable!

Just one word can summarize the direction of the final. Although the first map is Tianlu's most confident train, Astralis used their exaggerated defense to teach Tianlu a good lesson.

Throughout the first half, Tianlu, who started the offensive side, won their first point in the factory until the eleventh round.

Although they chased the score from zero to ten to four to eleven at the end of the first half, they still failed to smooth out the huge score difference and lost one game 8 to 16 in the second half.

This defeat directly hit the players who were still confident in the game directly to the bottom. On the map with the most confident and winning rate, someone was beaten to a 10-0 start, which really destroyed people's confidence.

So, when it comes to the second map, Tianlu is not as good as the overpass that Team A is good at. They only persisted for 20 rounds and were beaten 16-4.

With the disadvantage of 0-2 in the big score, the game came to the third map, which is also Tianlu's traditional strong map, Purgatory Town.

On this map, they once defeated many world-class teams, including LG and SK who were also in the top 1 position at the time.

However, Tianlu's players are still younger, and the youth here refers to the experience in the finals.

They successfully got a 9-6 lead as the defensive side in the first half, but after losing the pistol game in the second half, they chose to make a strong start and failed to turn the tables in the second round, and directly asked them to hand over the lead.

The situation with FaZe on the first map of the semi-finals reappeared on Tianlu. They only scored a pitiful four points in the second half and were turned 16-13 by Team A.

After the game, Zhao Yiyang looked at his computer screen for a long time and couldn't calm down. His performance in this game cannot be said to be bad. Although Tianlu lost miserably, his rating on the three maps is still 1.27.

Coupled with his wonderful performance before the finals, he won the second MVP medal in his life with a total of rating of 1.52.

However, in his opinion, this MVP is quite ironic. Because he was swept in the final and got the MVP, although he did not watch the forums and social media, he must have imagined the bloody storm in these places.
Chapter completed!
