Chapter 21: VG.Ori (Coach) is warming up!

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was April 2nd. The Dota2 MDL Paris Disney Major CN qualifier ended yesterday, and VG easily advanced to the Major with a full victory posture.

It is worth mentioning that except for the first day when Jiao Yang took out the Sniper, coach Bai Jie never chose this hero again. After all, this qualifier was played by small fish and shrimp, and some things had to be hidden.

And starting from April 2nd, for the next month, the Dota2 division had no matches, which meant that until the next Major started, the Dota2 division was resting.

So, as soon as they finished playing yesterday, several people either went home directly or formed a team to go out and have fun. Only Jiao Yang stayed in the club.

Early in the morning, Jiao Yang received a call from Aqing, notifying him that he had kept his promise and to play well in the next match.

Jiao Yang only thought that he was asked to play well in the Paris Disney Major. Naturally, he agreed. After all, only if Dota2 played well would Aqing let him play CSGO with peace of mind.

But he didn't expect Aqing to fulfill his promise so readily. Although the official announcement from the club still needed some preparation, it would be announced in a few days without accident.

Jiao Yang was watching the last match of the VG CSGO division in the dormitory, playing against the Swedish giant NIP led by f0rest and GeT_RiGhT.

After VG defeated the CIS giant NaVi on the first day, their luck in the draw was extremely poor.

First, they met the Galactic Battleship FaZe and were crushed by firepower. rain directly hit a terrifying rating of 1.98 on the single map of Overpass.

Then they met the Finnish giant ENCE led by Aleksib, the runner-up of IEM Katowice Major, and were ruthlessly crushed in two maps.

But fortunately, VG still had the strength to fight against NIP, a traditional old-school powerhouse. Although they were taken down 13:16 on map one Overpass, they fought back and forth.

And the current score of map two Train, after VG's crazy chasing, had become 13:15, only two points away from a tie and dragging into overtime!

As long as they survived this round and took down the traditional CN strong map Dust2, VG could enter the top eight and play in the main event!

This was the third chance for VG, a team that had been reorganized for half a year, to advance to the S-level main event!

The thirteenth round began, both teams had full guns, and VG had more complete utility because they had been winning continuously.

VG, as the T side, placed their main force at the map's transfer point, the Bathroom, and let zhokiNg go to the A site Olaf position alone to watch the opponent's push and look for opportunities.

f0rest pulled out very confidently, but didn't win the gunfight.

The team's free agent aumaN took advantage of this headshot timing to quietly infiltrate the bottom line from the Green Connector, and A Zhong also retreated directly.

In the 5v4 clutch, advent gave the command to occupy A site, but even though f0rest had died on A site, the CTs still maintained their heavy A defense.

From a god's perspective, advent's command was no different from breaking into a police station!

But fortunately, REZ, who was watching the Red Stairs door, didn't catch anyone.

Just when everyone thought this round was a sure thing, draken on the Six Paths used an AUG to directly take down advent and Freeman.

The situation returned to 3v3, but the situation was destined to be unchangeable from the moment the fight started.

zhokiNg was taken down by the two extra defensive CTs, and kaze, in the 1v3 clutch, used the sniper rifle to kill two as best he could, but when facing GeT_RiGhT, he fired his Desert Eagle in a hurry, missing the chance to save the situation, and was unable to turn the tide.

The score was once again locked at 13:16.

This also meant that VG, like Tyloo who left early, failed at the last step and once again lost the chance to enter the main event venue.

The live broadcast room lit up with VG's Rating:

Freeman (1.16), kaze (1.08), zhokiNg (0.78), aumaN (0.77), advent (0.70)

The comments also found arguments to vent their emotions—

【Tyloo could at least turn over one map against BIG, what did VG play?】

【One lost with honor, one couldn't cross the mountain. Half a catty and eight taels, don't talk about each other! Might as well disband.】

【Freeman and kaze are really wasted with these three fw!】

【The Qiyou trio can get stickers, they have to kowtow to Freeman and kaze.】

【VG is a conscience team, a reassuring team, just eat food and pick up money, understand?】

【Damn, there is also a Dota2 pro playing CS and cheating on VG's side, it's really a pile of shit.】

Jiao Yang was a bit dumbfounded when he saw the last comment. How could it still be related to him?

And when VG defeated NaVi on the first day, weren't the comments quite proud?

As a reserve coach for VG, Jiao Yang already had the consciousness to maintain the team...

On the other side, the defeated five VG members looked at each other in silence and silently packed up their peripherals.

Freeman, who finished packing early, walked towards advent and asked in a low voice: "Liang Dui, can I go first?"

advent was still thinking about the match just now and didn't react for a while, until Freeman patted his arm and he came back to his senses: "Hmm, go ahead, family matters are more important."

"Sorry, Liang Dui..." Saying that, Freeman shouldered his backpack.

advent nodded, indicating it was nothing, and waved goodbye.

Kaze also said hello and left. He didn't have anything urgent, but there were still many days until the next match, so he just happened to go home and take a look.

zhokiNg and aumaN walked over and patted advent on the shoulder.

It looked like an act of comforting the captain, but it was actually a way for the two of them to comfort themselves.

The three of them gathered together, and they had the strength to continue.

"Let's go, back to the base."

Wednesday, April 3, 2019, a lazy day.

With the end of various matches, the VG base was the opposite of the usual bustle, appearing lonely.

After organizing the match data of these few days last night, advent slept until he woke up naturally for a rare occasion, and when he looked at the time, it was already noon.

The next match was the closed qualifier for DH Dallas seven days later. The opponents were no longer foreign giants, but familiar CN teams.

The pre-match preparation was much easier than the previous busy schedule.

Originally, Freeman leaving was a trouble, but Jiao Yang's substitute just happened to solve it.

Thinking of Jiao Yang, advent, who walked to the canteen, saw Jiao Yang who was getting food.

"What a coincidence."

"Hmm, what a coincidence."

Actually, the frequency of Jiao Yang coming to the canteen to eat these few days was much higher than before. One was that the food in the canteen had inexplicably become much better, and the other was to wait for advent.

So, this was not a coincidence.

The two sat down in a familiar position, and Jiao Yang started the topic first: "Qing Zong's side has approved the coach application."

"Congratulations." advent already knew this news and wasn't too surprised.

"I organized the data for the next match, you can take a look." Jiao Yang handed over the USB flash drive.

"Pfft." Seeing Jiao Yang's action, advent almost sprayed his rice and was dumbfounded: "Are you really preparing to be a coach?"

Jiao Yang naturally wanted to play, but wasn't VG currently full of five people?

Looking at Jiao Yang's confused look, advent smiled and said: "Prepare, you will play in the next match."

?

"Freeman is about to retire, you just happen to be the substitute."

"By the way, although your aim is okay, you still need to grind. After eating, go to the training room, I'll go call Lao Zhong and the others."

Until advent left, Jiao Yang gradually figured out what had happened.

It turned out that the next match Aqing mentioned meant this—

VG. Ori (Coach) is warming up! ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
