After Tianlu took the lead with a 3-0 score, another qualifying battle started between the former dynasty NiP and the current dynasty Astralis.

If this time was not in 2018, but in 2013, then NiP may still have the capital to fight this A team. However, in 2018, when NiP's Gemini were almost 30 years old, it was still difficult for them to say "victory" when they faced the A team that may be the strongest in history.

Although the Swedes also played their best, they scored a total of 25 points in the two maps, when Team A really wants to win the game, it is difficult for you to have a way to grab the victory from the Danes.

Whether it is a terrifying prop or an inexplicable smoke penetration, NiP always has a disadvantage in numbers before facing the gun link head-on.

"How can I fight this!"

In the past six months, everyone has heard this sentence n times. The whole world knows that Team A plays like this, but no one can target it.

Tianlu had also tried to analyze Team A's tactics before, but after analysis, it was just three words: "I can't play."

...

"Team A is worthy of being the biggest favorite of this major, and their condition is still hot!"

Not to mention the performance of Team A, after these two games, Tianlu and Team A have already confirmed two main match quotas.

The remaining places will be selected from the next few 2-1 teams, followed by a 2-2 life-and-death battle.

Unlike the first two teams, among the 3-5 teams, there are two dark horses, namely the North American team COL and the European company Hell Raisers.

This is the charm of the Swiss round. If it is a double-lose group knockout round, there will be almost no upset chances, but the Swiss round is different. If two equally upset teams meet, one of them will advance to the next round. In this way, they will prepare for their opponents in the next round, which will be more targeted.

Another team that qualified in 3-5 was Liquid, who had lost to Tianlu before. They easily defeated the CIS-level team, Xiao Qinglong Spirit, and got the fifth qualifying place.

The remaining three qualifying places will be launched on the last day, and in the end, BIG, NIP and Spirit, which have performed well in the past six months.

At this point, all 16 teams in this FACEIT Major competition were produced, and they were eight teams in the last major legend group: C9, FAZE, MIBR, NAVI, G2, fas and Winstrike.

In addition to the eight teams that have just started from the qualifiers, they will compete for 8 legendary places in 4 days, starting on September 12, and then offline venues to decide the second and last major champion of this year!

...

Since Tianlu was the first to advance to the main competition, they had about a week to rest. Although the players also wanted to further improve the team's strength during this period, the reality is that no matter how much they practiced in the past few days before the game, it would not be of much help to the game.

This team has been playing international competitions for a year, and they have long been clear about their playing style. It is not very reliable to expect to develop new routines in the past few days.

Besides, they don’t know who their opponents in the first round are, so they can’t arrange some tricks in a targeted manner.

So, two days after Tianlu advanced, the club gave the players a vacation, leaving only YNK and Mo to watch the game analysis video in the hotel, and the other four went out to play.

As one of the most famous cities in the world, London naturally has elements that are different from those in China or other parts of the world.

This ancient and modern city is intertwined with the great city that embodies almost the entire modern civilization of mankind. It naturally brings to the Tianlu team members a deep impression.

They walked up the Thames and saw not only the ancient Gothic architecture, but also the emerging tall and modern financial institutions headquarters.

They went to Kings Cross Metro Station, where everyone saw the nine and three-quarters platform leading to the Hogwarts Magic School in "Harry Potter". Even Zhao Yiyang pushed the cart and took several photos, because he liked Harry Potter so much when he was a child.

Then, they went to Abby Road in St. John's Wood District, north London, where the four of them reproduced the legendary cover of the Beatles' classic album on the crosswalk. Although the background on the cover was sunny and the day they visited was rainy and rainy, it did not affect the good mood of the team members at all.

For professional players who have been traveling around the world for a year, this kind of time to travel to the local area is a good way for them to relieve stress, especially when they come to a metropolis like London, which can satisfy all the fantasies of these "teenagers".

They even went to the London Bowl to watch a football match between England and Iceland at home on September 8. Although the World Cup was just held this summer, the national team game still attracted enough attention.

Zhao Yiyang was also very surprised why Tianlu Club could buy 5 tickets for the England competition. Later, the team leader told him that he asked someone to spend money to buy it from the scalper.

"Oh, so that's it! There are scalpers everywhere in the world!"

No matter what, although the scene of this game is dull and England even lost the game 0-1, watching the game on site in a venue like the London Bowl is definitely the most enjoyable feeling.

Zhao Yiyang was enjoying it, but people like DD who were not interested in football looked a little uncomfortable. He couldn't sit still and couldn't leave even if he wanted to leave. He could only hold on for two hours.

After watching the football game, they called YNK and Mo who were watching the game in the hotel during the day, and the whole team went to a local restaurant for dinner.

To be honest, although England has played an important role in the history of modern and contemporary development in the world, and can even be said to have sprouted from England in many fields, England is definitely a food desert, if it makes mistakes, it is definitely a food desert.

The variety of British cuisine is single, and it is no different from the food you eat in other European and American countries. It's just like the whole fish and chips for you.

However, it is quite good to eat this meal occasionally, at least the steak meat tastes quite good.

The two-day rest time passed quickly. After all the rosters of all teams confirmed to advance to the major competition appeared, Tianlu also returned to the intense preparation rhythm.

They have made appointments with some teams participating in the main competition, including NaVi and MOUZ, who have fought with them many times before, and some teams that have not met many before, such as BIG and COL.

Anyway, Tianlu's training match is unstoppable.
Chapter completed!
