This time, London majors have fewer fancy things than the ELEAGUE Major at the beginning of the year.

For teams like Tianlu that participate in the qualifiers, the organizer just took some makeup photos and an appearance video.

After all, this is the last major this year. After the major, many teams will be reorganized. Even among the several teams participating in this major, some people have no fixed future.

In this serious atmosphere, the first round of the major qualifiers officially began.

...

Because the competition system of this major has been slightly changed, all Swiss rounds are carried out according to the competition system of BO3, so the overall pace of the competition is more compact.

At 10 a.m. on September 5, the first round of BO3 started on time.

Because 16 teams were divided into eight groups, the BO3 on the first day chose to play two games at the same time.

The match between Tianlu and Cowboys began in the second wave, and the first round was the Turkish team Space Sue, the previous major competition team.

Although this Turkish team performed very well at the beginning of the year, their performance plummeted after the major. The poor performance naturally could not get enough bonuses and sponsorships. Therefore, if they could not achieve good results in this major, then disbanding would be an inevitable outcome for them.

Rouge is a new team that was established in April this year. However, the players in the team are all old faces. Not only North American star veteran Hiko, but also the talented player Sick who was highly anticipated by North America back then, as well as Danish foreign aid, Idea Brother, the remaining two players are not well-known.

However, with such a lineup, it is enough for them to swim out of the fish ponds in North America.

In this game, although the Turks tried their best to win the game, their mentality fluctuations affected their true strength.

2-0, Space Soldiers got a blow when they came up. From the players' frustration expressions after losing the game, it can be seen that this major should be their last game.

The game started at the same time as NiP and VP. If this was 3 or 4 years ago, this game would definitely be considered as Mars colliding with the Earth. Even in the group stage, there would be more than 3 stars on Hltv.

Unfortunately, NiP and VP are no longer the same as before. The two teams that have both made personnel adjustments, and their current states are very different. NiP, which completed the update earlier, easily defeated the VP with a score of 2-0 and sent the opponent into the loser pool.

The first round of the game ended quite quickly, so Tianlu's game could also start on time. Although it happened to be 1 noon, Tianlu's players were in high spirits.

The sky in London was cloudy and it rained lightly from time to time, but the game between Tianlu and Cowboys was more enthusiastic.

Although the strength of this cowboy is still at a low point, they are also very familiar with Tianlu. Before the game, the cowboys also formulated some tactical routines specifically for Tianlu, which did help them put some pressure on Tianlu in the game.

16 to 13, Tianlu almost failed to win the game in the mirage that the cowboys actively chose.

However, if you win, you win. In terms of mentality, compared with opponents who lost the game, you must relax a lot. On the Cowboys, they have used new tactics that they have studied for a long time on the map they have actively chosen, but they have failed to defeat their opponents, which has hit the Cowboys' players very much.

After the map came to Tianlu's long-lost skill Train, the Cowboys had no chance. 16 to 6, Tianlu beat up his opponent on a map that had not been played in a professional arena for a long time.

They used a 2-0 to prove their status and declared their goal to enter the main competition. Although their opponent Cowboys were not strong, Tianlu was also very satisfied with the result because they felt that they had played out all the things they prepared before the game.

There were no big ups and downs in the subsequent games, and the teams with the advantage in strength all won the game.

After the end of the first Swiss round, the 16 teams were also divided into 8 1-0 teams and 8 0-1 teams.

1-e, NiP, Tianlu, BIG, Vega, Hell Raisers, liquid and Team A.

Tianlu's opponents in the second round will also be generated in these teams.

As for those 0-1 teams, it seems that there are a few that will inevitably fall into 0-2 and be eliminated.

...

After the first day of the battle, the studio immediately held a second round of lottery draw.

For Tianlu, they felt that as long as they didn't encounter Team A and Liquid, other teams would have a dozen.

"Tianlu's opponent is..."

“Vega!”

Tianlu and Vega are also old rivals. They met the two major teams last time, but they didn't expect that this time, they would meet again.

However, the current Tianlu is still Tianlu, and the current Vega is no longer the Vega from the beginning of the year. They have replaced the two players, and even after June, they have not played any competition.

This also makes it difficult for Tianlu to target before the game. The only game they can refer to is the BO3 in the first round.

However, Zhao Yiyang felt that teams like Vega were at most at the level of second-tier teams. As long as they could perform normally, the chances of winning the game were much higher.

There were no surprises in other matches in the second round, and in general, they were all clearly different from strength to weakness.

...

The second day of the London Major qualifiers started at 10 a.m., and the two games were still started at the same time.

However, the two games this time were played together, one 1-0 and one 0-1.

Tianlu's game was scheduled to be the first game. At the same time, in the 0-1 group, the match between Red Star and Cowboys will be held at the same time.

"Brothers, come on!"

Before the game, everyone did not say much tactical arrangements, but encouraged each other. After all, after the ups and downs of the past six months, Tianlu's overall strength has basically been set. The upper limit depends entirely on Zhao Yiyang's personal ability, while the lower limit is the performance of the other four people and their discipline.

For Tianlu's players, the result they got from yesterday's Vega game was that as long as their mentality did not have any problems, they could win the game if they performed normally.

Therefore, everyone is relatively relaxed before the game. The only problem is that today's game is too early and the game starts at 10 o'clock in the morning, which makes the players a little uncomfortable.

However, if they don’t adapt, their opponents are actually the same. After all, professional e-sports players are basically night owls, and it is normal for them to play games until night.
