The rest of the players and coaches of Liquid arrived in Katowice with the team yesterday, and in the mecca of esports, they have a place to stay in a similar esports hotel provided by a partner, which is to recover early.
After all, this is the largest tournament officially recognized by the MAJOR, and it will be held twice a year, so in terms of status, it is equivalent to the S tournament as for LOL, and TI for DOTA. The top 16 finishers from the last London MAJOR can go straight to the Major, with the 1st to 8th places called the Legends Division, the 9th to 16th places called the Challengers Division, and the eight teams that come up through the Regional Minor Qualifiers later are called the New Challengers Division.
THE TEAMS IN THE LEGENDS GROUP WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE MAIN EVENT OF THE MAJOR, WHILE THE CHALLENGERS AND NEW CHALLENGERS GROUPS WILL FIRST PLAY THE MAJOR QUALIFIERS TO DETERMINE THE EIGHT TEAMS THAT WILL ENTER THE MAIN TOURNAMENT AND THEN PLAY THE MAJOR MAIN MATCH AGAINST THE TEAMS IN THE LEGENDS GROUP. LIQUIDS WERE THE SEMI-FINALISTS OF THE LONDON MAJOR, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO COME TO KATOWICE TO TRAIN AND WATCH OTHER OPPONENTS PLAY FIRST.
The two MAJORS of the year can not only get a huge prize money, but also get team stickers, signed stickers and champions, runners-up and third place medals, and the MAJOR is also the most important event of the year, and its influence and scale are the most huge existence in the whole year.
Liquids have to be taken seriously, the IBP championship in front of you is just an appetizer, only winning the MAJOR can say it all and shut everyone's mouth!
An hour later, Lipp pushed his luggage and walked to the exit of Pilzovies Airport, it was already evening in Katowice, the afterglow of the sun seemed to be gone, and he was instantly blown away by the oncoming wind in his long down jacket, and the winter in Katowice was still a bit biting.
At a glance, Lip saw the club's arranged car parked on the side of the road, and the coach Adren leaned against the window and smoked a cigarette.
He also saw Lip, and immediately threw half of the cigarette to the ground, and stepped on it with his foot, Adren smiled, he hadn't seen him for half a month, and strode towards Lip, and then hugged him hard.
"Hey, Bro! How's it going! After the two hugged, it was a fist bump, and then they got into the car.
The staff on the side helped carry Lip's luggage to the bus, and the driver started the bus with the liquid team logo on it, and now it was time to go to their training base.
The building outside the car window is full of industrial art charm, the flying saucer-shaped Spodek stadium flashes by, this is the venue for this MAJOR, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, there are a lot of containers at the entrance, the billboard on the side of the road has also been replaced with ESL MAJOR commercials, and people along the way are looking at the vehicle that comes to pick up Lip, they know that this is the car of the esports club.
Katowice is only the tenth largest city in Poland, with a population of about 300,000, and was originally developed by the abundant mineral resources in the mountains adjacent to the city. But since the Katowice government supported the establishment of the Intel Masters here in a year or three, bringing something new to citizens who have little entertainment in their daily lives - esports, Katowice has gradually become a mecca for esports in Europe and the world.
Countless esports fans have come to bring vitality and development to this industrial city, especially the recent MAJOR.
Even the door of the training base where Liquid stayed was surrounded by a group of people, and at a glance it was a black press, there were probably hundreds of people, Katowice's fans were so enthusiastic, they should have learned from Liquid's official Twitter that Lip was coming today, and they were waiting here.
"Hello!" Li Pu got out of the car and said hello, causing a burst of screams, what a cute crowd of spectators, the security guards and staff immediately separated a passage, Li Pu waved his hand left and right, "See you at the major!" ”
“JOJO! Russell! NAF! balls! How? Lip finished his luggage as soon as he could, and then took his peripherals to the training room to greet his brothers, who had already started to practice their guns first.
"Brother Pu!" X2, a chicken, and twistzz heard the door open, turned their heads and said in unison, then stood up one after another.
"Brother Pu!" Milk Ball said with a smile on his face, he was the oldest player in the team, one year older than Lip, and as a result, he also called Brother Pu, which shows Lipp's internal status.
"Brother Pu!" The sloth also took off his headphones and turned his head to say hello.
Coach Adren also followed, "Let's go out for dinner tonight, have a good meal, and the club will reimburse you!" LET'S GO! LIQUID! ”
“LET'S GO! LIQUID! As soon as he arrived, he was able to have a big meal, and Lip took the lead and shouted Banzai, he was indeed hungry.
But looking at the excitement on the faces of the players, the voice of another tactical analyst on the coaching staff in the room changed.
"But it's only one day to relax, we haven't trained recently, and we're definitely not in the same state when we come back from vacation."
"The quality of training is already a big step behind other teams, so we're going to accelerate into the preparation period after today. Our coaching staff will do the analysis for you now, so you just have to adjust yourself to the best from tomorrow. ”
"We also need to put tactical training and targeted research on the agenda, and the MAJOR will start right away! Keep it up, boys! ”
There was a wail in the training room, young people are like this, nothing will be hidden, the holiday is over, the days of working as workers are about to begin, this is the most terrifying fact for them.
Lip knows that Adren and the second-in-command of the coaching staff are singing red and white, but he has nothing to say, after half a month of vacation, the team should really run in again, find the state when he won the championship before, he is here for the championship!
Then adren took everyone to a store here that CSGO players frequented for a hard meal, they also arrived last night, and they didn't eat anything good today, just to be kind to themselves.
