Zhao Yiyang suffered from insomnia. The night before his first offline game, he suffered from insomnia again.

I don’t know if it was due to time travel, but Zhao Yiyang, who returned to the past, had more insomnia in the past two months than in the previous two years.

Maybe it's because he is trying something he has never experienced before, or maybe this thing is what he desires, which causes him to be under a lot of pressure.

But it is undeniable that he only slept for less than 5 hours that night.

"Why, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Early the next morning, Ke Liu was woken up by the sound of going to the bathroom early to wash up.

Because they are also going to the offline venue of the Asian Minor today, all team members need to gather at the location designated by the event organizer before 9 o'clock, and then be led into the competition venue by their staff.

"Well, I have a little bit of insomnia!"

"It's okay, just wait until you play today's game."

No matter what you do, the first time will be accompanied by fear due to ignorance, but as long as you get through the first time, many things will become easier and calmer.

Putting on Tianlu's team uniform and playing in the Asian minor arena, it can be said that this is a scene that Zhao Yiyang could only realize in his dreams in his previous life.

But at this time, it really happened.

Zhao Yiyang still felt it was a bit incredible, so much so that he didn't even know how he arrived at the competition venue.

"Come, let's sit over here!"

The time came to 9 a.m. Korean time, and Tianlu had already arrived at the competition venue. At this time, there were four competition areas in the venue. The four teams in Group B that will compete here today have all arrived.

"Hey, it's a bit boring without a battle room!"

In CSGO competitions, such group stage matches are generally not considered the main event, and those who have seen the battle room in the live broadcast usually have to wait until after the main event to be set up, so Zhao Yiyang feels a little regretful.

"If you want to play in the battle room, then try to reach the major legendary group!"

Coach Hank made a joke at this time, which caused some laughter from the players.

Although this sentence is an impossible task for the current Tianlu, but by saying it this way, everyone's nervousness is invisible and disappears a lot in this contrast.

"Everyone, please check the equipment and adjust the voice!"

In offline competitions, especially in offline competitions without battle rooms, players need to wear two layers of headphones. The inner layer is in-ear headphones, mainly responsible for listening to sound, and the outer layer is head-mounted sound-isolating headphones, mainly for listening to sounds.

There may be commentary at the isolation site.

It was also the first time for Zhao Yiyang to wear this kind of thing, so he felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that there was an earplug in the ear wrapped by the headset that was slightly resting on the ear.

"What's wrong? Are the headphones uncomfortable?" Hank keenly observed Zhao Yiyang's behavior and asked immediately.

“A little uncomfortable!”

Then, Hank communicated with the on-site referee and said that a member of his team was playing offline for the first time and needed to adjust the headset more.

Then, the offline referee came over to help Zhao Yiyang debug.

Because this is an offline game in South Korea, most of the offline referees are Koreans. Although Zhao Yiyang can speak English, he still cannot communicate with Koreans and can only be manipulated by Koreans like a puppet.

It took about ten minutes before Zhao Yiyang had the opportunity to enter the gun training map of the server and start practicing gun shooting.

If Zhao Yiyang was still a little nervous before, when Zhao Yiyang entered the world of CSGO, this nervousness immediately disappeared.

"Bah bang bang!"

Zhao Yiyang shot one head after another and kept hitting the bot. Slowly, he suddenly realized that his condition today seemed to be better than usual training.

Although the usual shooting practice is the same, almost hitting the head with a gun, but today's feeling is obviously smoother.

"Okay, all contestants, please enter the competition server!"

I don't know how long it took, but such a voice suddenly appeared in Zhao Yiyang's headphones.

This is the referee's voice, which is directly connected to the players' headsets. It is used to monitor whether there are any problems during the communication process and to convey some instructions to the players in a timely manner.

Playing an offline game for the first time, everything is so new to Zhao Yiyang.

Because the servers for offline competitions are built directly offline, even if the delay when they usually play games on the Internet is already very low, compared with the 0 delay offline, the gap is still very obvious.

"Wuhu!"

Zhao Yiyang manipulated his character and felt the smoothness without any sluggishness offline, and couldn't help but let out a happy sound.

"How about it, have fun! This is offline, and there are many players who perform better offline than online!"

At the same time, Zhao Yiyang still heard the commentary voice coming from outside through the headphones separated by two layers. Although the sound was not loud, if you listened carefully, you could still hear the external sound.

"There are no spectators in our offline competition this time. If you come to listen when there are spectators, not to mention the voice of the commentators, you can also hear the voices of the audience in the audience."

This situation will undoubtedly have an impact on the players playing on the field, which is why players playing at home often perform well.

Although it is definitely forbidden to register points for offline viewing, if there are really spectators watching the game offline, it is better to have a smaller number. Once the number is huge, then if they really want to register points, they will definitely not be able to control it.

of.

Not to mention the low-quality audience who directly shout out the points, even if the audience uses some cheers or boos to hint, it is also an obvious instruction to the players.

For example, if you are engaging in a 1V1 endgame with a player from the opponent's team, if the audience wants to report points, they can make some noise when the opponent approaches you, which is enough to draw your attention.

Even when there are enemies in the direction you are facing, as long as the offline audience cheers, you can feel what they are implying.

Although this kind of behavior is very unqualified, crows are as black as crows in the world, and this phenomenon will occur no matter where the competition is.

Therefore, so far, most S-level events will choose to build a battle room during the main event stage. Although it cannot completely eliminate the situation of reporting points, it can at least achieve better sound insulation effect and allow complete immersion in the game.

The players in the game can't separate their minds to pay attention to these things.

E-sports is not on time. Zhao Yiyang saw that the time displayed on the computer system had reached 10:15, and their first game in the Asian Minor had just started.

The opponent of the game is Tainted Minds, a team from Australia. To be honest, this team is relatively bad, which is perfect for Tianlu, who is getting used to it again, to find the feeling of offline competition.

16-2, the same result as the first game of the Cowboys in Group A. Tianlu also hit hard when facing Tainted Minds.

In his first offline event, Zhao Yiyang achieved a record of 18-6, and his ADR reached a terrifying 108.3, so his rating directly became 2.01.

"Awesome, Xiao Yi!"

After entering the first game and winning easily, the mentality of the entire team was obviously relaxed. Everyone started to joke in the voice. They could all feel the fighting power of Tianlu, so everyone was excited about this time.
Chapter completed!
