Chapter 98
After VG won, they weren't as happy as imagined; several people had solemn expressions.
advent felt a bit guilty; in map one, Nuke, they relied on Jiao Yang to win several key rounds, and it was still so difficult.
If Jiao Yang's condition was average and they were dragged into map three by the opponent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
advent shook his head; at this point, the match was over, so thinking about this didn't have much meaning. The real challenge had just begun; they would next face the winner of Tyloo and MVP, both of which were tough nuts to crack.
"Let's go to the Training Room to watch the match."
Inside Tyloo's battle room, Freeman wasn't standing in a player's seat but was holding tactical data, standing behind the five Tyloo players with a gloomy face.
He was brought in by BnTeT; the original intention was to replace ccurate, but the old VG's Zhou Xufeng specifically asked him to bring kaze along.
After he brought kaze over for the reward, he suddenly discovered that the position Zhou Xufeng promised to leave for him in the team had actually turned into a Commander!
Every time he urged them, they would say it was difficult to play right now and that the management had a plan, telling him to wait.
Freeman didn't come to Tyloo just to slack off!
He came to follow in BnTeT's footsteps and walk out of the predicament of Asian CS!
——
Unfortunately, except for BnTeT, no one else was willing to communicate with him.
Not to mention kaze, the remaining three players had already formed a clique and didn't want anyone to replace them.
Suddenly, Freeman's position became awkward.
And kaze was very much to BnTeT's liking, so much so that BnTeT didn't have any thoughts of pushing for a replacement.
Originally, they were looking for a Sniper, and he thought there were no usable Snipers in Asia, so he let Freeman fill in. He didn't expect the management to directly get the number one Sniper in Asia.
Especially since kaze's professional attitude was very upright; he was the last to leave every training session, clearly someone who wanted to win.
Even Freeman didn't think he could push kaze out to get on top; after all, he knew kaze's importance.
It was just that kaze's condition today was clearly a bit off; he even lost focus while holding angles, which had never happened before.
"What's wrong?" BnTeT called a timeout; they were being bitten very hard by MVP, and at this time, the performance of the big Sniper was crucial.
Although kaze's performance was already better than the vast majority of Snipers, it was clearly not fully realized.
kaze didn't speak, and he didn't know how to say it.
He thought about how he would meet the new VG after winning this, and he felt a strange resistance in his heart.
Feeling the concerned gazes of his colleagues, kaze took a deep breath and exhaled: "It's nothing, I've adjusted."
His performance was indeed much better afterward, but it still didn't reach the level of being able to destroy tactics with marksmanship.
BnTeT had been researched thoroughly; the defensive side was fooled by the opponent, and the offensive side was breaking into the Police Base every round.
Compared to advent, the tactics had no structure at all.
Looking at the failed results of the last two maps, kaze sighed inadvertently: he might really not be suitable for this "hard-gunning" team.
"It's okay, there's still the loser's bracket; your performance today was already very good." BnTeT comforted him in English, which was also the reason he preferred players who spoke English; it was more convenient to communicate.
kaze nodded at BnTeT.
Thinking about it this way, at least they wouldn't meet VG in the loser's bracket.
Inside the VG Training Room, everyone finished watching Tyloo's match with different expressions.
An Wenxin's expression was a bit solemn; she was more concerned about the upcoming match. After watching this match and combining it with the data she organized before the match, it seemed MVP's strength couldn't be underestimated.
The new Tyloo's firepower was definitely stronger than before; under the cover of a systematic Sniper like kaze, the riflemen had more room to perform. But after MVP's experience in IEM Sydney, they probably already had the strength of a European second-tier team, not weak in marksmanship compared to the new Tyloo, and even better in tactics.
——
"I'm going to organize the data; we have a training match with 5Power tonight, don't forget."
After saying this, she left directly, rushing to summarize the data for advent before the training match.
advent nodded; after An Wenxin came, his work leaned more toward analysis and summary, saving a lot of time.
"MVP's playstyle has broken away from Asian CS." advent stated clearly, speaking to JamYoung.
This meant that the opponents he was facing now were no longer the previous domestic teams, let alone the noobs on the ladder.
But a brand-new team that already had the prototype of European tactics.
This point, the Qiyou Trio had already experienced on the battlefield of IEM Sydney.
"Designed cooperation, more reasonable props, higher requirements for our handling." advent continued.
Jiao Yang nodded; he had also watched MVP's match in Sydney. Unlike traditional Asian teams, MVP was very familiar with European playstyles, which also kept them from showing weakness in foreign wars.
Although they were finally taken out by the runner-up Fnatic in the last round of the loser's bracket, the record of taking one map was enough to be amazing.
"Jiao Yang's Sniper is different from kaze's; we must give him enough freedom."
"So I want to continue our playstyle from IEM Sydney."
advent gave his solution; he didn't intend to bring Jiao Yang into his inherent tactical system.
MVP's Captain had researched his tactical system thoroughly; if they followed the steps, it almost meant playing with their cards face up.
He had felt it during IEM Sydney; the four-man group was restricted in all aspects, leading to a very ugly performance.
advent thought for a long time after that failure, until he saw Freeman not playing against MVP; only then did he suddenly realize that in this situation, there was actually a breakthrough point, which was the only person left alone.
That position that should become the focus of the whole arena.
"But in this way, the pressure Jiao Yang faces will be very great."
As a Free Agent, aumaN knew that Freeman not playing well at that time was definitely not due to a lack of strength, but that the situation was just very hard to play.
Being easily eaten from the front, there was no way to leverage the sides.
"What Liang Dui is talking about isn't a conventional Free Agent." Jiao Yang smiled; he didn't expect advent to take the initiative to share the pressure with him; it seemed he really wanted to win.
"Playing conventionally, the odds of winning aren't high."
advent sighed; he knew JamYoung's explosion today was built on the opponent's details still being very rough, and MVP was specifically designed to restrain "hard-gunning" teams like Tyloo with detailed cooperation.
At that time, JamYoung as an Entry Fragger would take the most pressure; as a newcomer who had just entered the top tier, it was really too difficult to have any effect.
In other words, when they played, it would be very close to 4 vs 5.
This was the gap between JamYoung and kaze when facing a truly strong team.
After Jiao Yang joined, advent gradually understood that the system of copying A Team in the past could no longer be used.
Once kaze left, it completely shattered the core that maintained this system.
JamYoung was also much sharper than the previous zhokiNg, walking on two extremes.
"We are already a completely different team."
"Now there is only one goal —"
"Defeat the opponent and head to the world."
