It was a week later that day Lu walked out of the plane again.

During this week, something big happened to the CSGO professional arena. That is Astralis, the current number one team in the world, defeated NaVi in the final and won the championship of esl one Cologne that they never got involved in the previous timeline.

Although the Navi team's simple once again won the losing MVP with his perfect performance in the finals and rating of 1.32. However, he personally sent the A team, who won the Cologne championship, to the throne of the Grand Slam.

Team A not only won the 500,000 USD championship bonus from ESL ONE Cologne, but also received a 1 million grand slam bonus.

Maybe when IEM set up a Grand Slam, they didn't expect that a team would win this honor so quickly. Therefore, after Team A completed its first Grand Slam achievement, they immediately launched a new round of Grand Slam events.

As the winner of the first Grand Slam, Team A is also qualified to participate in the second round of Grand Slam. Like the first round, the way to obtain the second round of Grand Slam is also the champion of the four ESL event systems, including IEM Katowitz, ESL ONE Cologne and EPL Finals, and also three IEM, ESL ONE and Dreamhack Tour champions.

Although Team A was the first to complete the Grand Slam, in fact, the requirements for the Grand Slam are really high. The reason why Team A was able to complete it is because they are strong enough, and it is unknown whether other teams can complete it.

...

After the end of Cologne, Tianlu returned to Kiev for another week to train before returning to China.

Returning early is not to better train, but to give the players a holiday. After Cologne's defeat, Tianlu's team held a long meeting, and even held for three consecutive days.

Finally, everyone synchronized the reason why Cologne was in such a poor condition this time and how to play in the future. Then, they decided to give themselves a week's vacation before the IEM City next month.

Almost everyone feels that this almost uninterrupted event in the first half of the year has made them exhausted, especially teams like Tianlu. If they stay at the headquarters of China, they will not receive sufficient high-quality training; if they want to go to Europe to train, they will still need to run between China and Ukraine.

After all, everyone is adult, and adults have their own lives. As Chinese, even if Tianlu’s players are professional players, their entire life circle is in China.

Therefore, Tianlu's journey is a little more tiring than other teams in Europe or America.

Under this high-intensity pressure, the player's body and condition will naturally be on a line. Once the line collapses, it is the situation in Cologne before.

A week is long and short.

Zhao Yiyang took advantage of the week to go to school, which happened to be on the eve of the school holiday. Before his girlfriend came home, he completely left CSSGO and integrated into college life.

In the past holidays, even if they had a long holiday, Zhao Yiyang would still go to CSSG to play two games every day, and even if they were not good, he would go to the death battle uniform to practice guns.

And this time, he completely left CSSG. Not only for three days in school, but also for three days after returning home, he didn't play CSSG in a single game, and he really returned to life.

This return made him feel something different, that is, the meaning of his family to him. Although he traveled through time and gained unexpected talents, after a year of professional competition, he found that although he had not yet reached the peak of CSGO, he had already seen the situation at the peak.

At this time, his family was the strongest backing behind him.

Zhao Yiyang set a goal for himself, that is, no matter which team he goes to in the future, domestic or foreign teams, he will leave a month for himself to spend time with his family and return to life.

...

After a week passed, Tianlu returned to the base in Hangzhou to gather.

At this time, there are still 10 days before the IEM Magic City Station starting on August 1, and the teams participating in this competition have not yet arrived in China. Therefore, Tianlu still has a few days to regain the feel. After all, we have just returned from vacation.

It was not until July 25 that the teams participating in the IEM Magic City arrived in the Magic City one after another, and Tianlu could finally make an appointment with them in the training match.

This IEM Tour held in the Magic City will be held in a Joy booth. Although it is not a large venue, this close contact with fans is also a special experience for the contestants.

Moreover, this time, IEM Magic City is also an IEM event, but it is not considered a Grand Slam event, and it is at the same level as Dreamha.

This time, the Magic City Station is more about linking with CJ. Although the prize is 250,000 US dollars, few of the stronger teams in the world choose to participate. Except for Tianlu, only NRG is the top ten teams in the world.

Other top teams all participated in the ELEAGUE ier with a prize pool of 1 million held at the end of July, because the itinerary gave up the invitation quota for this event.

In this one-million-level competition, the championship was also won by Team A. In short, Team A has won six consecutive championships in various offline competitions. This situation has not happened in the past CCS history, let alone their six championships have won them millions of dollars in prize money.

...

In the end, there were only eight participating teams in the IEM Magic City, namely Tianlu and NRG, two top ten teams in the world, as well as two top twenty teams in the world, HellRaisers and Gambit.

The remaining four teams are replaced by two players, the VP who has completely fallen behind, the second Australian brother Grayhound, and the familiar faces of the Asian arena BOOT-d[S], and finally the 5POWER, an Asian company composed of Chinese and Mongolian players.

In general, if Tianlu is in normal condition, or if he doesn't feel too bad, the final champion will definitely be between them and NRG.

After the foreign teams arrived in China, Tianlu made an appointment with another group of NRG, VP and HellRaisers.

Judging from the results of the training match, their condition recovered well. Although they were far from reaching the peak level of CAC, at least the players were still very happy to play themselves, and the long-lost laughter also appeared in Tianlu's training room again.

On August 1, at the scene of a Joy in the Magic City, a large number of CSGO enthusiasts gathered here, waiting for Tianlu's game.

Returning to their home court to play the game also allowed Tianlu’s players to regain confidence in the game, because only here can they hear the audience cheering for them in an orderly manner!
