Chapter 432
Astralis, this name has definitely been the name that all CSGO professional players least want to hear in the past year.
This team composed of Danes experienced their lowest point at the beginning of the year. The young major mvp left the team and the disastrous defeat at ELEAGUE MAJOR gave them painful lessons.
However, fate sometimes plays a joke on you. To use an idiom, it depends on whether you are extremely lucky or not. When Astralis was at their lowest point, they also met another player who encountered a low point in life, Magisk. Jinfeng Yuluyi
After meeting each other, Team A finally found their last piece of the puzzle.
After a simple run-in, they achieved the top four results in IEM Katowice, and after that, they completely created an era of their own, even in the entire history of CSGO.
The most dominant period.
From the Dreamhack Marseille Masters to the blast finals at the end of the year, they won a total of 13 world championships in these eight months, including Cologne and the FACEIT MAJOR in the second half of the year.
This major championship was the fundamental reason why they surpassed the earliest NiP dynasty. Although NiP's 87-game winning streak at that time seemed very scary, it was actually the early development period of csgo. There were not many opponents, and the opponents were not strong enough.
The most important thing is that NiP's results in the majors are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory. They reached the major finals 5 times. At that time, the majors were still three times a year, but they only won one major championship.
In terms of the number of FAajor championships won by Team A, they have already surpassed NiP.
In addition to the two major competitions of IEM Cato and ESL ONE Cologne, Team A also won the championship. Therefore, the results they created in 2018 are unprecedented, and there will even be few others in the future.
Although it is already 2019, and Team A lost the championship in the first game they participated in in 2019, everyone understands that that kind of game is just a warm-up match, and in the Major, Team A still has strong dominance
force.
They didn't lose a single picture in the first two rounds of the main match, and they both won by beating.
"Brothers, what happened to Team A? They did achieve extraordinary results last year, but no one can win all the victories all the time. If NiP can't do it, if fnatic can't do it, then Team A will also end one day!"
"Since they are destined to be terminated, why can't it be us who end them?"
After learning about their qualifying opponents, the FaZe team began to cheer each other up and get into a fight.
Although everyone still thinks this statement is a bit false, FaZe players are all star players. They don't feel that they are inferior to others, and their competitiveness also makes them believe this statement.
Although their team has just been formed and it has only been a month since they officially started to work together, in such a short period of time, every player can actually feel the potential of this FaZe team.
Just like the previous issue of FaZe, it only took a short time for them to achieve results. This is because everyone's personal strength is online, and in CSGO, an FPS game, the most fundamental thing is actually marksmanship.
And the current FaZe can be said to be stronger than the FaZe of the past. Maybe the current golden is worse than the big cousin at the time. Maybe the mediocre point back then was also top 2, but now Zhao Yiyang is undoubtedly the entire CSGO world.
They all belong to the same existence of level.
For any team, he is a person who can both protect the lower limit and increase the upper limit. We generally call this kind of person "invincible".
So, as long as he is here, everything is possible.
…
The qualifying match between FaZe and Team A starts at 7pm the next day and is the last match of the day.
After all, the qualifying game is definitely more exciting than the home game. In addition, it is FaZe and Team A, two very popular teams, so it will naturally be arranged at prime time.
However, the prime time in Europe is naturally the least prime time for domestic audiences. However, in China in the early morning, there were still more than 100,000 viewers paying attention to this game.
Zhao Yiyang's significance to China CSGO, after experiencing the results of the past year, is not only the strongest player in the world, but also has many promotional significance.
CSGO is a really fun game, but in China, the e-sports market is basically dominated by MOBA-type games, or in other words, TX.
It was with such a living example like Zhao Yiyang that WM found a promotional point and successfully promoted the CSGO game.
First, the number of players playing CSGO has increased a lot, and second, the number of viewers watching CSGO games has also doubled.
"Okay, audience friends, today's last game, FaZe vs. Astralis, is about to start!"
"In the last game, Liquid defeated NaVi with a score of 2 to 1 and took the lead in getting a ticket to the legendary group. The last game can be said to be very exciting, but the next game will probably be the same.
nice."
"Okay, the competition maps have been released. The three maps are i2 and overpass!"
From a map perspective, this Team A has no real weaknesses. They can play on any map and play very well.
But for FaZe, they have maps that they are not proficient enough in, but fortunately, Team A did not completely target them in the map pool.
…
As the commentator said before, the excitement of this game is no less than the previous game between Liquid and Navi.
Although the final result was that Team A defeated FaZe with a score of 2-0, the process had ups and downs.
In the first map, inferno, FaZe started from the offensive side. Zhao Yiyang's touch was very hot, and he had a record of 10 kills and 0 kills from the beginning, helping FaZe get a perfect start of 5-0.
But the reason why Team A was able to create their own dynasty is because they are the best in the world in every aspect, including resilience.
When they fell behind 0-5, they did not panic at all. Instead, they played steadily and reduced the 5-point disadvantage to 3 points in the first half. This was achieved when Zhao Yiyang was in the state of the gods.
In the second half, when Zhao Yiyang's condition dropped a little, Team A began their performance. On the offensive side, they used various fake plays, various extreme turning points, and various props to directly respond at the beginning of the second half.
They beat FaZe 5-0 and directly overtook the score.
When Astralis gained the advantage in the score, the Danes at this time would not give their opponents any chance to make a comeback. Although FaZe could still hold on to the score with unreasonable shooting, they still lost with a score of 13 to 15.
The first game.
The situation in the second map dust2 was similar to the first map. Although this was a T map, the defense team A scored 10 points in the first half, which made many people feel that the game had lost its suspense.
But unexpectedly, in the second half, FaZe also defeated Team A 10-5 on the defensive side, directly dragging the game into overtime.
However, in overtime, the shooting skills of two Swedes, Olaf and Golden, suddenly stretched their hips, which ultimately caused FaZe to lose to Team A with a score of 17 to 19.
After the game, Olaf and Golden were also very upset, but the game was over and they had lost.
"It's okay, Olaf, we have already played well, let's prepare for the next game!"
Chapter completed!
