Chapter 38 A little nervous

"Captain, please stop snoring at night!"

After arriving at the hotel, Datou first assigned rooms to the team members. Because the tournament had booked ordinary standard rooms for each team, only two people could live together. This made the Tianlu team members who were used to sleeping in single rooms a little uncomfortable.

Adapt, especially Zhao Yiyang.

"I'm a bit of a light sleeper. If someone snores at night, I probably won't be able to sleep."

Zhao Yiyang did not hide it, because before departure, the manager had already told him about this matter. After all, going out to play games and training at the base are completely different things, and he is the core of the team, so how to let him

How can he feel comfortable?

"I don't snore!"

Ke Liu also knew why Datou arranged for him to share a dormitory with Zhao Yiyang. First, as the captain of Tianlu, he had enough experience in offline competitions to be able to take care of the newcomers during the few days of offline competitions; the other point was that

Ke Liu doesn't snore when sleeping, and has better sleeping habits and is very quiet.

"It's your first time playing abroad. Are you nervous?"

Ke Liu recalled the first time he went abroad to play a game. At that time, he was so scared to death when he saw the foreigners on the street that his hand holding the mouse was shaking when he got to the stage.

"It's okay. After all, I haven't really entered the battle room yet, so I don't know if I will be nervous by then!"

"I'll teach you a way to relieve tension, and that's to chew gum!"

With that said, Ke Liu took out two boxes of chewing gum from the box: "This box is mint flavored, this box is strawberry flavored, which one do you want?"

Zhao Yiyang thought Ke Liu would give him some reliable advice, but it turned out to be this.

"I'll have a mint flavor."

Many people may not like mint-flavored chewing gum because they think the taste of mint is a bit strong. But Zhao Yiyang likes this refreshing taste because it makes him more awake.

"The computer is installed, everyone can go to the training room to debug it!"

In his previous life, Zhao Yiyang often saw players playing games in hotels during live broadcasts. He didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon.

"Ke Liu, you are in this position, kid, you are here!"

Zhao Yiyang was assigned a seat by the window, and Tianlu's training room was on the 6th floor of the hotel, so looking out from the window, he could not see the clear sky as imagined, but could only see the Gangnam District in Seoul.

The densely packed high-rise buildings made Zhao Yiyang feel a little depressed.

"There will be no training tonight. Tomorrow we will have two training sessions with the Cowboys and MVP to warm up the competition, because apart from Flash, the only remaining opponents are these two teams."

Originally, there were three Chinese teams in the Asian Minor this time, but VG was unable to compete due to visa issues. As a result, only two teams, Tianlu and Flash, were left.

Apart from the Chinese team, the only remaining teams that are competitive in Asia and have been able to compete with Tianlu in the Asian arena in the past two years are the Cowboys and MVP.

Among these two teams, Tianlu's record against MVP is more wins than losses, which can be regarded as a certain advantage. However, the historical records of Tianlu and Cowboys do not have the upper hand.

Although the Cowboys are an Australian team, their natural advantage in English is that they can attract some second-tier or even first-tier North American players.

Especially in this Asian minor, it can be said that the Cowboys' lineup is already the most luxurious in the team's history (as of now). The team not only includes old Australian faces - jks, azr and ustilo, but also two

The "big brothers" from North America - Nifty and Canadian player NAF.

Nifty is a player from the United States. He debuted from the third-tier North American team "Selfless" and then came to Australia in the second stop of his career. Originally, this player's personal strength was not very strong, but when facing the Chinese team,

Especially when he was in Tianlu, he often performed wonderfully, so he was called the "Anti-Chinese Hero".

Of course, in Zhao Yiyang's memory, since Nifty left the Cowboys, he began to disappear from people's sight. This is because of insufficient hard power, but the result of better chemical reactions when he was on a certain team.

Unlike Nifty, NAF, a player from Canada, can be said to be the undoubted core of the Cowboys. This player's personal strength is truly one of the best in North America.

Before joining the Cowboys, he had already shown his strength in OPTIC and won the ELEAGUE Season 2 championship in 2016 with the team. At that time, they defeated many strong teams such as Team A, SK, FAZE, NIP and Mouse.

The championship won can be said to be full of gold.

After he joined the Cowboys in September this year, the Cowboys' ranking on hltv has been rising all the way, and is currently ranked 18th in the world. Compared with other teams in Asia that are ranked outside the 50th place, they are undoubtedly outstanding.

Zhao Yiyang's impression of this player starts with him leaving the Cowboys. In the previous world line, after leaving the Cowboys, naf directly joined the North American giant Team Liquid.

During his two years in the Liquid team, he not only won several major championships with the team, but also completed the second ESL Grand Slam in history at the fastest speed. Liquid also once occupied the top spot in the world.

Although they still did not knock Astrails off the altar in the end, they have proved their strong strength.

At the same time, due to the excellent performance of the team, naf personally reached the top ten twice in the annual top rankings in 2018 and 2019, ranking 6th and 7th respectively. It can be said that he has become a truly top player in the world.

Therefore, in terms of hard power, the Cowboys who have joined him are no longer on the same level as other teams in Asia. His coming to play in the Asian minors is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

However, CSGO has never been just a one-person game. No matter how strong Naf is, Zhao Yiyang will not be afraid of the Cowboys.

After all, none of them have reached the strength of the major legend group, and Tianlu has not played any official game since Zhao Yiyang joined. Even though their current ranking has reached 87th, who will lose in a real fight?

It's not easy to say, after all, the strength of Tianlu's other four players is still considered the top in Asia.

"Tonight everyone will fight passers-by first, and then we will discuss a few tactics that can be used in the game later."

The "tactics that can be used during the game" mentioned by coach Hank are actually some gambling points for taking advantage of others. It is impossible to use this kind of tactics as a regular tactic for training, but it can be used occasionally in tense offline games.

Using it can indeed bring unexpected effects to the battle situation.

For example, when the score is tight, a sudden rush may directly disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
