Chapter 82

By the time Jiao Yang finishes dinner, the first half is already over, 13:2, VG only has two points.

Compared to the relatively close data of NRG's five members, VG's data is polarized.

Kaze and Freeman have 12 kills each, and the three Qiyou brothers have 12 kills combined.

The bullet screen is already full of aggressive comments—

【Stop embarrassing yourselves, hurry home】

【Might as well give the spot to Tyloo, what kind of stuff is this?】

【zhokiNg can't even trade kills, are you playing with snakes?】

【Can aumaN have any sense of presence?】

【Is it because Freeman just came back and everyone hasn't adapted?】

【Bringing these three old guys, it's the same whoever comes】

From the data, these three people are completely not human.

"Who do you think has the biggest problem?" Jiao Yang packs up the food box and turns to look at An Wenxin.

An Wenxin didn't expect there to be a pop quiz while watching a match, thinks for a while, and guesses cautiously: "zhokiNg? In many rounds, he didn't follow Freeman to trade kills."

Seeing Jiao Yang shake his head, An Wenxin has confidence in the next answer: "Then it's aumaN, his frontal effect is zero, and there is no clutch performance."

You have a poisonous mouth! I don't know what aumaN would think if he knew this was the evaluation of his future coach...

Jiao Yang points to the position An Wenxin least expected, which is the team's Commander, advent.

"Liang Dui often has to throw utility, pull the shooting line, and drop guns; his role is much bigger than zhokiNg and aumaN," An Wenxin says, puzzled.

Even according to the data, advent, as a Commander, has two more assists than zhokiNg and aumaN, so he shouldn't be blamed.

"Haven't you noticed that they are playing very scattered?"

When playing as the attacking side, it is easiest to discover the team's coordination problems; VG's attack in the first half highlights the "Calabash brothers saving grandpa" style—sending them one by one.

Especially after occasionally establishing an advantage, there will always be someone who suddenly makes a mistake and throws away the great situation.

So much so that even with two big brothers with 12 kills, they lost too many clutches, leading to only getting 2 points.

"Then it should be that Freeman and zhokiNg didn't coordinate well, how can it be blamed on advent?" An Wenxin is puzzled.

"Just on this point, advent is already wrong." Jiao Yang doesn't rush to explain, but asks first: "Do you know Freeman is transferring to Tyloo?"

An Wenxin nods; not only that, based on the photos shared on advent and Freeman's blogs, it is not difficult to deduce that Freeman and the three Qiyou brothers already have a rift.

"Then think about it, what does Freeman want in this match?"

"Victory?"

"It's eye-catching data, to make the Tyloo management feel that he is worth the price, so as to gain a firm foothold in the Tyloo team."

At the beginning, considering this point, Jiao Yang proposed to let zhokiNg stay in the trade-kill position.

After all, no matter what, Freeman will definitely play well out of concern for his reputation, otherwise he wouldn't even need to come to IEM.

"However, advent didn't consider this point; he neither wanted to bow his head to let Freeman integrate into the team, nor did he change his tactics."

"That's why the situation was formed where the entry fragger was running around alone, while the others were like headless flies."

Jiao Yang can already imagine the feeling of zhokiNg following Freeman, who has no intention of communicating, feeling aggrieved; he probably shifts gears extra hard, right?

"Failure within the match is the Commander's problem, failure outside the match is the Captain's problem."

After Jiao Yang finishes speaking, he sighs—advent's burden is too heavy, and he doesn't even have a coach to share the blame.

He glances at An Wenxin and says slowly: "But from now on, failure outside the match is your problem."

The waiting time in the middle of the half is not long; after watching the first half highlights, which can almost be considered a one-sided slaughter, the second half begins immediately.

After switching to CT, VG's rhythm is much more natural; they even got a team ACE in the pistol round, and then took the ECO round.

The score reaches 13:4, and NRG calls a timeout.

"Is there still a chance?"

An Wenxin also knows the score gap is large, but VG's rhythm on the CT side is much better now, and it looks like there is still a chance.

"I'm still on it."

"Really?"

Jiao Yang looks at An Wenxin's suspicious eyes and smiles:

"Actually, it's not that the team's strength can improve much if I go up, but if I go up, they will believe they can still turn it around."

"On stage, you must feel that you can turn it around; if you don't have this breath, then self-doubt will directly destroy the remaining hope."

"By the way, don't ever ask this kind of question in the future; even if the score is 15:0, you have to say 'We can win!'"

It's a pity that Jiao Yang doesn't have a prop for remote login yet, so this lopsided score still has to be carried by the five people on the field.

At the Sydney venue, there is no audience for the group stage, and the five members of VG are sitting in the battle seats.

advent didn't let Freeman sit in Jiao Yang's seat, nor did he ever believe that he could replace Jiao Yang.

"Next round zhokiNg press forward, kaze you flash, aumaN connector pay attention to trade kills."

"ok"

"Then what about me? Liang Dui?" Freeman's tone carries sarcasm.

"You hold B." advent ignores him and continues the tactical arrangement.

Freeman snorts coldly; in this situation, he still doesn't want to bow his head to let him control the middle; he really is high and mighty.

The eighteenth round, full gun round.

T directly gives the crossing smoke, while CT hands over the Terrorist Entrance smoke, directly isolating the trade kills at the Terrorist Entrance.

zhokiNg directly presses into the Terrorist Entrance quickly, not giving the opponent a chance to cross to the sandbags.

Flashbang flies out—

【daps used AK-47 to headshot zhokiNg with CeRq's flash assist】

【Brehze used AK-47 to headshot Kaze with CeRq's flash assist】

【Brehze used AK-47 to headshot aumaN】

Collapse!

2V5, VG can only choose to save guns.

And there are only a few key rounds in a match; after the opponent takes this full gun round, VG's winning streak on the defensive side disappears.

In the end, VG lost to NRG with a score of 16:4.

Compared to the gloomy expressions of the others, Freeman appears very relaxed, the first to stand up and prepare to welcome the opponent's handshake.

After all, he doesn't care about winning or losing at all, as long as his data is first.

Watching advent silently packing up his peripherals, he doesn't forget to go and "comfort" him with two sentences: "Liang Dui, played well, keep it up."

Before advent can respond, aumaN slaps Freeman's hand off advent's shoulder: "Hurry up and get out, don't be disgusting here."

Freeman is a bit stunned by this slap, and when he reacts, he wants to fight back, but fortunately Kaze stops him in time, so a stadium brawl didn't happen.

Even so, the director still captured a few shots, allowing Jiao Yang and An Wenxin, who are on the other side of the world, to see it clearly.

"Are you okay?" An Wenxin knows there is some rift in the team, but didn't expect the conflict to be so big.

Jiao Yang is clear about the relationship between these few people, and precisely because of this, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

Kaze can stop Freeman, advent can stop aumaN; this fight won't happen.

"It's fine, actually this is quite good, at least there is a goal."

In this match, the three Qiyou brothers indeed took a big pot, especially zhokiNg's invisibility, which directly made VG lose a firepower point, and this is also the reason why aumaN, as a free agent, could not perform.

And the reason for all this is actually Freeman's lack of cooperation.

After advent realizes that Freeman won't cooperate, he should be able to know what to do.

Hopefully they can hold on...
