The second round of the game lasted for two days. During these two days, four 2-0 teams were decided, namely Astralis, liquid, Tianlu and COL.

Unlike the previous major, the four 2-0 teams of this major all came from the qualifiers.

From this point of view, it can be seen that the new power of this major must not be underestimated. There may even be four new faces in the major's legendary group this time.

COL can be regarded as a real dark horse among these teams, because the other three teams are currently ranked in the top eight in the world. From the perspective of ranking, it is normal for them to qualify for the legendary group.

In addition to these four 2-0 teams, 8 1-1 teams also appeared. Among them, there are four teams that have gone from 1-0 to 1-1, namely NIP, HellRaisers, BIG and Vega. The teams that have gone from 0-1 to 1-1 include navi, MIBR, fnatic and G2.

As for the two popular teams before the game, FaZe and MOUZ, they seem to have fallen into the curse of a bad second half of the year.

Especially FaZe, their performance in the first half of the year can be said to be very good. Although they did not win any significant championship, they won many runner-ups. Now, only NiKo and half a melon point can be output stably in their team. The rest of the rain has transformed from the God of Rain to Ma Tianyu, and Olaf has lost his former glory. Karrigan has even rumored to leave the team.

The players have already had a rift of distrust, and it would be strange if they can play well. Moreover, FaZe's luck is indeed not very good. There are so many "fish" in the 0-1 pond, but they just encountered the largest shark among these "fish" - NaVi!

Although the Ukrainians are also known to be slow to warm up, they immediately regained their form after losing a game. Moreover, as long as the two fathers in the team - Simple and Electronic Brother - perform normally, their frontal firepower will be guaranteed.

"FaZe was fucked by simple! Simple's performance has been impeccable since the beginning of the year to now. The rating of 1.34, before this year, there was no player in the professional circle of CSSGO that could still maintain such a high rating in September. Of course, this year, there is another monster, monster, that is light. His rating is even 0.2 higher than the simple, which is rare in history, reaching 1.36!"

"However, so far, you can't say which of these two geniuses will become the top 1 this year, because although Light is impeccable in personal data, Tianlu has too few championships, and its value is not as valuable as Navi!"

This passage is said from the commentary of the English stream analysis station. Although it sounds like this, in fact, the lines are still filled with preference for simple.

Indeed, China has never achieved any results in CSGO in the past. They are like beasts on the edge of civilization and have never really entered the center of the professional circle.

Therefore, the emergence of light is completely an anomaly, a real anomaly for Western players who occupy the mainstream of this game. You know, this anomaly in history has never been popular.

Simple is different. His emergence was witnessed by many people with their own eyes. Although his personality also caused him to be criticized, many people like him because of his personality.

More importantly, after truly becoming famous in this circle, simple first played in North American e-sports giant Liquid for half a year, gaining the attention of fans of traditional Western countries and leaving behind a classic graffiti scene.

Then, he returned to Ukraine and joined the truly powerful team of CS, NaVi! In people's eyes, it was like Napoleon returning to his loyal Paris, which was what everyone expected and the true emperor.

Therefore, when traditional Western players look at these two historical geniuses, they will definitely wear tinted glasses.

But in fact, Zhao Yiyang's performance this year is not much worse than Simple. So far, although Simple has 4 MVP medals for offline A-level and above events, Zhao Yiyang also has two.

Moreover, Navi only has one more champion than Tianlu. At the same time, they were defeated by Tianlu in the CAC final. In that most intuitive head-on final, Zhao Yiyang can be said to have won the most important victory for Simple.

At this time, the discussion on whether the top1 player should really start from the perspective of the player's strength also quietly began.

Some people who support this argument certainly believe that top1 must give the best personal data this year. Of course, this kind of data must be referenced with a certain dimension.

However, Zhao Yiyang and Tianlu did not miss this dimension in 2018, so this statement is more inclined to Zhao Yiyang.

Another group of people believe that top1 should be the best player in the world. Excellence here does not only refer to "strong", but also to "good" in a broad sense.

He can help the team and make a team really better. At the same time, his personal data also complements the team.

However, according to this statement, people actually encountered a logically unmatched place, that is, Astralis! Because Team A's complete domination this year, as long as the topics related to team performance are related to the team's performance, the Danish team will never be able to avoid.

Since the Dreamhack Masters Horse Race Station at the beginning of the year, the offline competitions they participated in have not allowed the champion to slip away from their hands.

This dominance has even surpassed the NIP and fantic in the past. Moreover, the snipers in Team A are also their core device. The data this year is also quite good, and the rating is 1.28.

Although it is still a lot worse than the two monsters that broke through 1.3 with Simple and Zhao Yiyang, his honor is indeed completely incomparable to Zhao Yiyang.

...

After saying so much, there is actually no way to completely end the contest between Zhao Yiyang and Simple in 2018, because the year will not end in three months.

However, in this major, although Zhao Yiyang is currently leading the way in personal data, the simple data has also risen to the second place after two games. Moreover, he personally used a perfect performance of 1.78 rating to send the "incredibly powerful" FaZe to the brink of elimination.

In addition to FaZe and MOUZ, the two teams that lost their chains, Winstrike and C9 are also facing elimination.

Everyone can understand Winstrike. After all, he is recognized as the weakest team in this major, while C9 has shocked many people because they are the defending champions.

The last major champion was about to be eliminated 0-3 in the major six months later, which made many people laugh.

But in fact, C9's strength is like this, and he can't win even if he wants to.

At this point, all the second rounds of the competition ended. On the evening of the third match day, the results of the third round of the competition officially appeared.

This time, Tianlu was not so lucky. They did not draw the qualifiers opponent Liquid, nor did they draw the weaker COL. What they are going to face is the most dominant CSGO team in history, Astralis!

And, it's Astralis on major!
Chapter completed!
