Chapter 1124: Opening Battle
Sure enough, when a person has a sense of foreboding, then something bad is indeed going to happen.
The moment he saw PHX draw Group A, Shao Yang smiled instead.
He just felt amazing.
It is too difficult to qualify from Group A, but Zhou Yang also told him before that playing in a strong group is not a bad thing, and you can play against more strong teams to improve yourself.
This time is still very critical for PHX.
However, if you draw Group A, then PHX is sure to play the opening game with CSC.
……
All the teams have been drawn, and the teams from the 4 groups of ABCD will be seated separately!
6 Chinese teams, CSC and PHX are in Group A.
TYG is in Group B.
ISO, DK in Group C!
IFCD in Group D.
There is a Chinese team in every group, and from the perspective of the group, the qualifying situation of the Chinese team this year is still relatively optimistic.
Except for PHX.
However, PHX was not expected to qualify, and this was the first time to play the World Championships......
And it's not a professional team.
In addition to PHX, CSC is very stable, ISO, DK's group C is also very stable, TYG, IFCD There are not many strong teams in the two groups, and there is a high probability of promotion, but there is a good chance.
Overall, it's acceptable.
Not long after the draw ceremony.
The hot search on the Internet here in China has the topic of #distressed PHX#!
……
PHX's popularity in China is still quite high, because everyone knows that this team is the cause and effect, and it has also witnessed the growth of PHX, and miraculously entered the process of Glory6 main event.
But for foreign teams, they are concerned about strength, and it is clear that PHX has not yet reached the point where it can be taken seriously by the world's giants.
At best, it's a routine preparation.
However, the Chinese team is still very attentive to this team, including CSC and DK.
CSC and PHX are preparing to practice together, knowing the strength and playing style of the opponent, PHX's strength is definitely not weak, at least in CSC's opinion, there is no problem at all to enter the finals.
DK was in the qualifiers before
They also encountered PHX, and PHX at that time also brought them a lot of pressure.
Definitely not a team to be taken lightly.
TYG, IFCD also thinks the same way.
However, how the game is played depends on the situation of the game.
No one can say what will happen.
Until now, there are still many teams that have their hopes for PHX.
After all, this is Zhou Yang's team, what kind of person is Zhou Yang, a person who constantly creates miracles......
When everyone is not optimistic about him, he can do it, no matter what the hard thing is.
When he boasted that Haikou was going to win the world championship before, did anyone believe him?
said that he wanted to bring the team of Phoenix E-sports Academy into the main match of Glory6, and everyone thought that Zhou Yang was making a joke.
But the scary thing is that these have come true.
The absolutely impossible has come true, and if you think about it, it was not much more difficult for PHX to reach the finals than it was for CSC to win the world championship at that time.
Thinking about it this way, everyone thinks that it is not impossible......
There are still many viewers who have confidence in Zhou Yang.
……
PHX and CSC also got into the same group and started preparing for the same game.
This also saved Zhou Yang and Wang Hao a lot of trouble.
At least a lot of things they were able to study together and discuss together.
But for PHX and CSC, they already see each other as enemies.
The arena is the arena.
With one day to go until the opener, PHX is trying to improve their game form.
Zhou Yang also gave them a task, which is to use circle tactics as much as possible in the group stage.
Test the progress of the team, and accumulate combat experience with a normal tactical play.
However, don't expose all your strength in the game, because it is still difficult to qualify in Group A, and there is no need to do your best to expose your strength and be valued by all enemies.
If this group stage was the group stage of the Major, Zhou Yang would definitely not be so prepared, because Majlory is fundamentally different.
Because Glory has a knockout stage, no matter how well you play in the group stage, you will enter the winner
group, or to play the winner's group match, there is no way to directly enter the finals.
This is the fundamental problem.
If you go to the lower bracket, in fact, the strength of the bottom 18 teams is not particularly strong, and in terms of PHX's strength, as long as you play normally, there is no problem in making the top 9.
This is also where Zhou Yang's confidence lies.
……
Glory lovers all over the world are waiting for Glory6, an annual event!
Players who really like the game Glory have been looking forward to Glory since January and February.
Every year, Glory's games feel completely different from those of Majors, and the tension and excitement is like football fans watching the World Cup and basketball fans watching the NBA Finals.
It's a wonderful feeling.
PHX also went to the Los Angeles Esports Stadium for the first time to feel the seating sensation of the scene.
The whole stadium is not as comfortable as the Chinese venue, which is quite normal, after all, the esports atmosphere in the United States is still a little worse than in Asia.
But even so, in the past few days, there have been a lot of glory fans in North America!
No matter what day it is, they have a lot of interest.
The ticket price for the opening game was also speculated to sky-high prices.
In the match between Group AB and Group B, almost the strongest teams in these two groups are in GenG, including the North American Son EG.
Whether it's for CSC or EG, the first day of the game has to be the best to watch.
The overall scene was a little more crowded, but the distance between the audience and the players was closer.
Sitting in the front row, you can even see the finger operation of the players, so you can imagine how close this distance is.
In China, even the Mercedes-Benz Arena cannot be seen so closely.
……
The Staples Center for the playoffs and the Rose Bowl Stadium for the finals have not yet opened, and teams will not be trained until the rest day after that.
Sitting in this venue, PHX also has a kind of excitement that cannot be hidden.
It's a wonderful feeling to sit in the middle of the Glory6 arena and play the group stage.
The training time is short, and there is also a small advantage for the teams that have come up from the World Qualifiers.
