Chapter 84: 259? BL1TZ!
In the evening, aumaN was browsing the platform in the hotel Training Room.
5E Headline—【VG suspected of internal discord, aumaN physically lashes out at Freeman】
Attached above is the motion of aumaN waving his hand; it looks less like he hit the hand Freeman had placed on advent, and more like he slapped him directly.
And Freeman looks completely like a victim, angry but being dissuaded by kaze.
The comment section is unanimously siding with Freeman.
【How does aumaN have the face? With this B-tier performance, could they have made it to the Major without Freeman?】
【I said long ago that the Qiyou Trio is the best at ganging up to bully teammates!】
【Indeed, how many people has VG swapped out? Why haven't they ever been swapped out?】
【Kaze, come to Tyloo together; there's no need to waste your professional career. Whoever wants to stay at VG can stay.】
【Asian battleship! Set sail!】
【I am a VG fan, and I also think aumaN really went too far this time.】
【Freeman leaving VG probably has something to do with this too; who would want to stay on a team with this kind of person!】
"Is this damn Tyloo too disgusting?"
Looking at the comments below, aumaN was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
It is no longer a secret in the CS circle that 5E and Tyloo share the same boss; to think they would so blatantly take things out of context to mislead players.
The comments too—not only spreading rumors, but also sowing discord.
Why haven't they been swapped out? Because only they are willing to take pay cuts to keep playing!
Freeman's departure was not notified in advance at all; he took the path of that traitorous management, Zhou Xufeng. If Jiaoyang hadn't come, they would still be kept in the dark.
Even in the Major main event, he, aumaN, did plenty of carrying; it's only been a few months and the comments are already starting with the revisionist history?
Watching zhokiNg and advent busy with their own things, unmoved, aumaN asked: "Aren't you angry?"
"What's the use of being angry?" advent said indifferently.
He re-watched the demo of the next opponent, team Chiefs, thinking about how to change the tactics.
"A-Zhong, what about you? You're so stifled today, aren't you angry?"
aumaN didn't believe zhokiNg could just slack off; just seeing the intensity with which he was practicing his aim and switching gears, he knew this guy was furious.
However, zhokiNg is a closed jar; he didn't reply, pouring all his resentment out on the bots.
"If you guys are fine, go to sleep early; call kaze for a meeting tomorrow morning."
advent glanced at the time; it was already eleven o'clock at night, and he gave the order.
The match tomorrow at one in the afternoon meant they would have to head to the venue after lunch; aumaN and zhokiNg's form needed to be guaranteed, otherwise no tactics would be of any use.
"Forget it, I'll accompany zhokiNg to practice aim for a while." aumaN was full of anger and definitely couldn't sleep, so he decided to just keep his teammate company.
advent didn't mind, and started writing and drawing on his blueprints.
"What time did you guys sleep?" In the restaurant, kaze looked at the three "pandas" in front of him and asked in surprise.
"Around three, I guess. These are the tactics for today; take a look quickly." advent handed the fruits of his labor from last night to kaze.
kaze looked at the dense data and opened his mouth wide: "You redid a four-man tactic?"
advent patted kaze's shoulder somewhat weakly, signaling him to just read it.
He was wrong from the start; when it was determined that Freeman could not communicate normally, he should have just abandoned the idea of a five-man lineup.
Method.
In a match, one person less holding an angle, one person less using utility—if not considered in advance, it is an unknown risk to the team.
Too many rounds had committed such errors before, to the point where it was mistaken for a disciplinary issue.
Back and forth, only those who do not participate in team coordination can maintain their feel.
The Sniper kaze, who consumed the entire team's resources, is like this; the Entry Fragger Freeman, who doesn't communicate and insists on his own way, is even more so.
But relying only on these two people, it is impossible to defeat these strong international teams.
Therefore, one must abandon the tactical leaning toward one person, and that person, without a doubt, is Freeman.
Ignore Freeman; he will either break through to draw fire, or he will be a Free Agent.
Only then can he be utilized to the maximum.
"Oh? You're all here?"
Freeman carried his tray and sat at the table next to them; the anger from last night had been washed away by the 5E report, and at this moment, he had returned to his disgusting form.
But this time, even aumaN strictly implemented advent's tactics—treating it as if this person didn't exist.
"Wow, it feels like VG has changed a lot today."
Still the small Training Room in the Paris Hotel, still An Wenxin and Jiaoyang, only this time it was three in the morning.
"Adjusted the tactics."
Watching VG looking as if they had been reactivated, Jiaoyang revealed a smile.
"Team Leader Liang is so amazing." An Wenxin took notes on her small notebook while watching the tactics.
"Let me test you, what position is Freeman playing today?"
An Wenxin pressed her pen against her chin and thought for a while: "Free Agent? No! Sometimes he also plays Entry Fragger—"
After watching Freeman's movements on the mini-map for a while longer, she shook her head: "What position?"
"No position."
Watching Freeman flash himself out alone, only to be killed by the opponent's utility, Jiaoyang laughed out loud.
An Wenxin thought for a long time before realizing this was a pun; besides advent not assigning tactics to Freeman, there was also the meaning that there was no longer a position for Freeman at VG.
She tore a small piece of paper from her notebook, covered Freeman's avatar on the screen, and turned back to smile at Jiaoyang: "This, it's not needed anymore."
Map 1 Dust II 16:14
Map 2 Town 16:5.
VG defeated the Australian team Chiefs with a 2:0 record.
After the match, Chiefs captain BL1TZ praised advent on Twitter—【This is the most diligent Commander I have ever seen; even without a Coach, he can devise diverse tactics in a short time.】
He also attached a photo of advent's dense tactical diagrams.
Of course, it was photographed with permission, and there was even a photo of the two of them together at the end; standing next to the burly Australian, the short advent looked slightly shy.
HLTV immediately posted this news, and while 5E, which often reposts HLTV news, did not follow up, it was instead reposted by the official Perfect World account.
Especially after attaching the image of advent's 46 kills, 41 deaths, and 1.07 rating, BL1TZ's remarks became even more convincing.
【I'll go first: Lao Jiu has no hair.】
【When will VG arrange a Coach? Sometimes in critical rounds, advent doesn't call a timeout and it's infuriating!】
【It would be best if it were a beautiful woman; I feel like they would instantly crush other teams.】
【I don't have many requirements, a 3-2 figure is fine, but she must have Magnetic, Divine Shield, Taunt, Lifesteal, and Rush.】
【VG NB! VG NB! VG NB! VG NB! VG NB! VG NB!】
【By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen aumaN ranked first; when did he switch positions to play entry fragger?】
【It should be a tactical adjustment; the argument with Freeman yesterday was probably for this reason too.】
【Freeman doesn't seem to understand how to play Free Agent!】
【That's for sure, a pure aimer with no brain; he doesn't even know how to lurk, how many times has he fed?】
【The Qiyou Three Heroes suddenly woke up after being scolded yesterday; it seems they needed the scolding!】
【Good luck in the match against MVP tomorrow!】
aumaN scrolled through the comments, walking into the restaurant with a smile the whole way; if advent hadn't been watching beside him, he probably would have already walked into a wall.
But compared to these comments, he preferred the look of Freeman's livid face in the match broadcast; he took several screenshots to save and even set one as his phone wallpaper.
What a great mood, what a great mood!
Humming a tune, he finally walked into a pillar just one step away from the restaurant.
