The CAC competition location is in the Magic City, the city of e-sports in China. Almost all e-sports events in China are mainly carried out in this city.

Although China's CS is not very good, in the past few years, there have always been some international CS events in the Magic City. After all, China is a very huge market, and it will definitely be better to develop it than not to develop it at all.

However, in the past, almost all competitions were held at foreign events, such as IEM and SLI.

Therefore, in 2018, Perfect World, a domestic CSGO agent, decided to hold a Class A CSGO event that truly belongs to China.

However, because it is also the first competition, and the Belo Horizonte Championship under E overlaps the time, even if it perfectly gives out a prize of 500,000 US dollars, its attractiveness to European strong teams is still relatively limited.

In the end, besides Tianlu, they only invited a top five team in the world, that is, navi. This CIS overlord just won their first championship in 2018 at his home court, and simple also won his third MVP in 2018.

Although simple still failed to widen the gap with Zhao Yiyang in terms of data, simple still completed the crushing of Zhao Yiyang in terms of personal honors and group honors.

This is the gap between the team. Although Tianlu is also among the top five in the world, they are still pale in comparison to the world's second-ranked Navi.

However, even though Navi had a good performance in 2018, they still had no hope of becoming the world's number one. The reason is very simple. The team that was the world's number one is really too strong.

In addition to Tianlu and navi, there are also NIPs ranked 11th in the world, HeroiVP.PK, Envy and VG.FLASH, which are ranked 18th in the world.

It can be said that according to this lineup, the final will be between Tianlu and Navi.

Because there are only eight participating teams, in order to lengthen the competition system, CAC not only chose to lose the group stage with double defeat, but also stipulated that only the last group was eliminated, and the last six teams played the knockout round.

In fact, this is a disguised battle for the Chinese team to win a quota for the knockout stage, in case the two teams at their doorstep were eliminated in the group stage.

However, since Tianlu is here, there is no need to worry too much about this mechanism.

Tianlu was assigned to Group B, with MVP.PK, VP and Heroic, and the other group was navi, NIP, Envy and VG.FLASH.

...

On June 4, there were ten days before the start of the CAC, Tianlu had already returned from Ukraine. After all, the next game was held in China. First, they could adapt to the venue in advance when they returned to China, and second, many participating teams would also go to the Magic City a few days in advance, so it would be easier to make an appointment for training at that time.

As usual, Zhao Yiyang returned to school after getting off the plane in the Magic City and had a warm relationship with his girlfriend for two days.

After all, they are considered long-distance relationships, and the two places will definitely affect each other's relationship for a long time. Zhao Yiyang doesn't want this relationship to end because of a different place. Although he and Zhao Xiaojia may have more different places in the next few years, he really doesn't want to end this relationship.

Therefore, he can be said to be very fond of his girlfriend, and Zhao Xiaojia is also a well-educated girl. Their relationship has always been very good and is constantly heating up.

In addition, during this period, Zhao Yiyang happened to go back to school to communicate with the teacher. Because he doesn't come to class, many teachers don't know the reason why he doesn't come to class.

Even if he took the initiative to confess his current situation, some teachers still couldn't understand why he, a famous college student, chose to play games.

Finally, the counselor and some leaders in charge of student work in the college came forward and did some ideological work for these professors who were dedicated to academics, and agreed that as long as Zhao Yiyang passed the exam, he would be considered as a passing person.

After handling the school's matters, Zhao Yiyang went directly to the hotel prepared by the organizer for training.

His teammates did not meet him at the hotel until two days before the game.

Although there are many foreign teams who came to the Magic City this time, Tianlu has actually trained with them abroad, so they did not go to the hotel to have offline appointments with these teams earlier, but just practiced it online.

...

The time is June 14th, and at 10 o'clock that morning, the first CSGO Asia Invitational officially started.

According to the schedule of the competition, all the competitions in Group A will be held on the first day, that is, 4 BO3s. The next day, there will be 4 BO3s in Group B, so Tianlu's competition will not start on the second day.

The first game started between Navi, who just won the championship and the French team Envy. Although there are former major champions like kioShiMa and headshot ScreaM, the reason why these people are in Envy means that their strength can no longer gain a foothold in the front-line team in France.

Even so, Navi still showed their usual slow-heating state. The first map almost lost on the overpass he took the initiative to pick, and finally recovered his state in overtime with a score of 19 to 16.

The second map is a little easier than the first one. In the end, on the inferno that Envy actively selected, Navi still easily defeated his opponent with a score of 16 to 10.

Although Navi played in the first game, which brought high popularity to the live broadcast, the second game is what the majority of Chinese CS players are looking forward to seeing, that is, the confrontation between the reorganized VG. FLASH and NiP.

With Tianlu's experience, some Chinese audiences began to have unrealistic expectations for other Chinese teams. But in fact, for so many years, only Tianlu was able to break out of Asia and the world's powers.

Faced with NiP, who was defeated by Tianlu before, VG.FLASH had no power to fight back at all. They were beaten directly by the Swedes 16-3 with two nearly shameful two 16-3.

[It's really a waste! You can eat vegetables, and there is no possibility of winning in a game with a foreign team!]

[It depends on Tianlu. Don’t say that the country is full of Tianlu fans. The key is that others are really in a mess.]

In fact, the situation of VG is the real situation of the Chinese team. Because Tianlu has Zhao Yiyang, he can only be considered an alien. Even if Tianlu, who does not have Zhao Yiyang, faces the team that wins around 20 abroad, the winning margin can only be said to be 55.

In general, the first day of the game went smoothly. Navi defeated NiP with a score of 2-1 in the qualifying match, while VG still lost to envy and became the first team to be eliminated.

The first person to be eliminated at home was the first to be eliminated. VG's team members could only bear the abuse from local Chinese audiences. The key is that their performance really made them unable to respond.

Finally, the hopes of the whole village fell on Tianlu again. The Chinese audience urgently hoped that Tianlu could get a qualifying place in the second day's game, at least to allow them to have a local team to support them in the offline competition.

This is the small and humble request of CS supporters, but unfortunately, such requests have been difficult to achieve for a long time in the past.
