Chapter 203: The Group of Death

The 2003 CG China National Finals was held at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center on September 5th.

Teams from 12 divisions from all over the country gathered together, and these 12 teams also represent the highest level of CS in China.

Beijing:deVil*UnitedShanghai:Allstrike(AS)

Shenzhen: SP.Zz Guangzhou:

Shenyang: Hangzhou: ICE

Nanjing: Su.Z Wuhan:

Sichuan-Chongqing: Xi'an:

Xijing: CHN: Taiwan: XP

Judging from the performance of the qualifiers, the strength of the 12 teams is almost the same, all of them appeared in the sub-division with a big win record, and there are three teams with the highest call to win the championship, namely the host deVil*United, this year's legendary AS,.

On the contrary, because the qualifiers were too smooth and did not encounter any strong teams, although the southwest province had great expectations for CHN, CHN was not favored by the audience in other provinces.

And CHN was very "swaggering" this time, coming to Beijing a week in advance to adapt to the climate and environment, in addition to the five main players on the first line, there were a lot of entourage.

Coaches, assistants, staff, team doctors, nutritionists, club presidents, general managers, and a large number of so-called "family members" Erin and Lin Xue drove to Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing.

Lu Fei has always been relatively low-key, and she doesn't want to make such a big noise, but this time she was resolutely opposed by Huo Xixian, she just needs to be famous now, she needs to be famous, and she doesn't care what the outside world thinks.

This year, the CG in China is much more professional, and the organizing committee will reimburse the accommodation expenses of the participating teams, but Huo Xixian directly gave the organizing committee a "refusal", she wants her players to live in the best place and get the best rest environment, so as to play the best results.

CHN even comes with things like the chassis motherboard graphics card, and resolutely does not use the "rotten goods" provided by the Olympic Sports Center.

Moreover, the champion of the CS project in China is only 50,000 yuan, and even if Lu Fei wins the championship, he may spend far more money than this, you must know that the accommodation cost of Shangri-La Hotel alone is so large for a lot of people.

Of course, CHN's swagger was criticized by the media, and Zhuo Qi asked with a smile: Is CHN here for the catwalk or for the competition?

Zhu Zong was unhappy again: they didn't come to the catwalk, nor did they come to compete.

Zhuo Qi was curious: So what are they here for?

Zhu Zong: They're here to win the championship, it's as easy as touching something in their own purse.

Zhuo Qi: What does this mean?

Zhu Zong: Dig into the bag!

Zhuo Qi: ......

Huo Xixian personally supervised the national finals, and obviously attached great importance to CG, although he was swaggering in the outside world, but the internal regulations were extremely strict.

The things that Lu Fei and the others eat and drink every day must be made according to the dietitian's recipe, and they are never allowed to eat indiscriminately, which is nothing more than high-calorie foods such as beef, potatoes, lettuce, and pure water.

And except for the coach, others are never allowed to approach Lu Fei during the competition, especially Lin Xue, Erin and Alice, which made Alice lose her temper all day long, and finally had to go shopping on the street to relieve her anger.

Xu Qing sent them away one after another, and they were not allowed to cover them.

Huo Xixian was so cautious, Lu Fei also kept an eye on it, this trip to Beijing, he specially brought Han Bing, Junwa and Ah K out to open his eyes and gain a long insight.

Although these three juniors are not very skilled, they have a great advantage, that is, age.

They are young, and their mental courage is commendable, as long as they are trained, they are also malleable, and the most important point is that they are willing to endure hardships.

The consequence of this willingness to endure hardships was that Duan Jiu was fooled into carrying the chassis motherboard, and he was tired when he arrived at the hotel.

In fact, today, Lu Fei has clearly realized from the experience and lessons of the past two years that the most important thing about a club or a team lies in the "hematopoietic function", which is a two-handed preparation.

If Lu Fei's own group of people fails, then the rising stars can be filled immediately, and the strength of the team will always climb up, unlike SK and 3D, which will stop moving to a certain extent, relying on digging the opponent's "corner", which is not only not fair, but also not a long-term solution.

Another aspect is also to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy of MDK, no team, no matter how united and excellent, no one can guarantee that "there is no banquet in the world".

Now everything is in place, only the "lottery" is owed.

The finals are divided into three groups, and the group points stage will be played first, with 3 points for winning, 3 points for losing, and one point for a draw.

At the end of the group stage, the 12 teams became two large groups, which of course won and lost.

The top two teams in the group go to the upper bracket, while the bottom two fall to the lower bracket.

Everything is done according to the standard rules of international competitions, which is not only reasonable, but also takes into account the form of each team.

In other words, the organizing committee gives each losing team a chance to repechage, and if you lose again in the lower bracket, then you only have GameOver.

The draw was also very professional, as it was held three days in advance, and the map of the match was released so that both sides could plan their tactics.

Under the strict supervision of *** and other officials of the General Administration, no one dared to engage in shady scenes in CG this time.

China Mobile-sponsored Hangzhou ICE tried to disrupt the rules and draw first, but the official representative was directly blasted out of the conference room.

"Whoever dares to break the rules, I will offend whoever I want." This is the original words of ***, and the sponsors have been shocked.

Lu Fei's "bad hand" was drawn at the lottery ceremony on September 2.

Group C: No. 2 seeds Allstrike, Su.Z, CHN.

This is a veritable "group of death", none of the four teams grew up vegetarians, all of them are extremely fierce teams.

Needless to say, it is not an exaggeration to say that China's golden generation is crowned on their heads.

Su.Z, in the Chinese esports circle, there are very few people who don't know the name of this club.

Su.Z, the name is very simple, it means Suzhou, and this team is all local players from Suzhou.

Su.Z is a merger of Suzhou famous team CYC and SIP, not only gathered a group of very talented players, and the biggest feature is the psychological quality is super strong, even Lu Fei has to admit that Su.Z team members that kind of tenacious willpower, there is no other team in the country can compare, in the past two years, Su.Z has relied on this strong psychological quality to create a lot of miracles, CEG, CIG, King of Kings, Meinianda, CG National Finals, ESC Qualifier, CPL Qualifier, Su.Z is either the third runner-up or the third runner-up, and its strength can be seen.

If Su.Z is a strong rival to CHN on the field, then there is also a pair of opponents for club managers off the field.

Huo Xixian of the US-Asia United Club is good at capital operation, brokerage planning, and can call the wind and rain with a wave of his hand, and recruit SK to the Chinese competition, in the club circle, Huo Xixian, a Chinese-American, is definitely a first-class master.

And the two leaders on Su.Z's side are not weak, Lu Jun and Oldfox do not have any impurities in terms of funds, purely out of love for e-sports, the management and investors themselves are e-sports enthusiasts, deeply understand the needs of the team and players, and they have learned advanced management models at home and abroad.

From the selection of players to the signing of contracts, from the welfare of members to salaries and bonuses, from the team's training grounds to accommodation, from the selection of events to the resolution of the board of directors, Su.Z has a series of very formal and scientific operating procedures, which are completely the same as the current mature sports clubs such as football club systems.

The most important point is that this club rarely changes blood, and the players are like brothers and sisters, and on the wall of the hall of the Su.Z club, there are these eight big characters: "Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden." ”

These conditions of Su.Z have laid the foundation for this team to "win while maintaining stability", and it is one of the few excellent teams in China.

The thought of fighting to the death with such a team made everyone at CHN feel the pressure.

If Su.Z itself is a shock, it is a formidable existence.

In China in 2003, you can not know the Predator Nv, you can not know the golden generation AS, and even the legendary Eivl, you can ignore it, its name makes any Cser in China unforgettable, until many years later, the super luxury gold lineup of that generation: CJ, 3#, bin, O, lava.

It is a myth and a tragedy, a Chinese myth, a Chinese tragedy.

This team logo can be seen at a glance The great determination of this group of players: China will win.

In the 2001 China CG Qualifiers, CJ, the captain of the Guangzhou team, led the Guangzhou local team GXU in the difficult qualifiers, and a Swedish tourist who came to watch the game was surprised to say a sentence that stunned all Chinese in the venue:

"Ah, I can't imagine that Chinese actually have computers and can play CS."

Captain CJ jumped up on the spot, pointed at his nose and shouted: "I tell you, we Chinese not only have our own computers, but also can prove to you that the Chinese CS is no worse than you Swedes." ”

At that time, the captain may not have known the famous Swedish killers such as NIP, SK, and 2EASY.

In order to fulfill this vow, he dedicated his youth to the next two or three years.

One day in February 2002, CJ came to a remote network club in the center of Changsha, Hunan Province, and discovered one of the best assaulters in Chinese history, 3#.

3# This player's influence in China may be several times greater than Lu Feidu, his AP is known as the first in the country, which Lu Fei did not deny, not only AP, but also sand eagles, rifles, pistols, proficient in everything, his degree of perversion is not a simple second kill, but a second kill in an incredible angle and desperate situation.

The same existence.

After CJ and 3# met, they first stayed at GXU, a professional team in Guangzhou, and then moved to all parts of the country, constantly looking for teammates that suited them, bin, O, and lava, these legendary gun gods finally came together.

Born out of nowhere.

Unlike Lu Fei and Laixi, Laixi became famous in the first battle.

The professionalization process of the players is very painful, and it is full of twists and turns and difficulties like Braveheart, the champion of the 2003 Xi'an Super Alcohol Monkey King Cup CS Competition, the 2003 Beijing Datong Cup CS Competition, and the runner-up of the 2003 ESC E-sports World Cup China Qualifiers...... In the 2003 CG Chongqing Division Qualifiers, the players who experienced the "Chongqing C4 Team Violence Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries made foreigners have seen enough Chinese jokes.

, Writing a legend in a way that is slowly heating up, on the CIG before the start of the CG, except for CHN, which has not been revealed, defeated all the strong teams in China at that time, including AS and Nv, strangled in the sub-division, and even Beijing couldn't go.

The only thing missing is now a championship and that ticket abroad.

, even if it goes to the World Finals in South Korea, it is not inferior to SK and 3D.

It's such a team, in the same group as Lu Fei.

"We can qualify at any time, and we can lose at any time." Lu Fei said.

Duan Jiuyi listened to it with sincere fear, the group stage is a big difficulty, if you can survive it, you are a hero, if you can't survive it, you will learn from Sun Zhong, and come back next year.

(In 2003, CG's own team also participated in the qualifiers for the Chongqing Division, witnessed the C4 violence, and lost to FF in the end. Oh, friends who know don't have to explode, the story is true, I'm a witness, here like CJ, 3# These seniors pay tribute)
