On the afternoon of July 17, the LANXESS Arena in Cologne, Germany.

The stadium, which can accommodate up to 20,000 spectators, is packed. As the spotlights on the main stage gradually went out, the light sticks in the hands of the audience and the mobile phone screens weaved into a sea of white, even though the people of vitality were still some distance away from the main stage of the venue, Qin Feng and the others could still hear the tsunami-like sound of the audience on the main stage.

"It's great, times have changed." Zonic couldn't help but sigh again. You must know that ten years ago, there was no live audience, let alone this magnificent stadium.

Outside the tunnel of the players, the highlights of the IEM knockout rounds were constantly playing on a screen hanging nearby, and the final scene of the semi-finals between Faze and NAVI was being played - the big cousin who won the crucial endgame was waving his arms at the audience.

"This is a dry navi to do something with momentum." Apex muttered.

“letsgofaze、letgofaze。” Adu looked very relaxed, and even imitated the audience at the time.

“karrigan、karrigan、karrigan。” Qin Feng also half-jokingly waved the glow stick that did not exist in his hand.

Apex blinked, and suddenly felt that a few of them had a ghost.

"It's almost time to play." The accompanying staff reminded me. With the opening of the athletes' passage, the enthusiasm of the audience also reached its peak in an instant, and the spotlights on the dome suddenly lit up and sprinkled on the red carpet where the players entered the main stage.

The neon lights of the LANXESS Arena are only flashing for the two teams that are about to enter.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"This is the LANXESS Arena in Cologne, where the final of the 2022 IEM Cologne will take place."

"First of all, let's welcome the first team to take the stage."

“faze！” The host deliberately stretched his voice very long. The door to the athletes' tunnel opened, and the first person to walk was Faze's coach, Robban.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and as the first international team to win the championship in AJOR's history, Faze's popularity can only be described as terrifying.

"Next, let's welcome the new upstart of IEM, the veteran team from France - Teamvitality!" The applause and cheers were still intense, and Qin Feng only felt that he was surrounded and submerged by the wave of cheers on the scene.

It wasn't until the noise subsided half a minute later that the host of the scene picked up the microphone again and spoke in a deep voice.

"Whether Faze can get one step closer to his Grand Slam, or Vitality can continue his previous undefeated myth, on this night, on the stage of the Grand Finals, let's wait and see!" The spotlight was on the audience, and the IEM Cologne final was completely kicked off.

…… 6657 live broadcast room.

"The bp between the two sides has ended before.,Vitality's words are banning the ancient ruins.,Faze's words must be baigo.。

"In the order of the map, it is Purgatory Town, Sand Two, Death Amusement Park, Desert Maze, and Nuke."

"In fact, if you want to play bo5, you already know what to play, but the order of the map is very critical."

"Now it should be the pre-game cheering session of the two teams, today let's see if the eldest cousin interacts with the live audience first or apex interacts with the live audience first." The Vitality crowd on the main stage has apparently reached the final stage before the map begins.

"Come on, don't be pressured, we don't have to hide the tactics we hid before." Zonic, the coach of the team, gently patted the big sweet potato and Qin Feng's back, and finally gave a few words.

"What, didn't you say that we won't have to wait until the RMR of the Rio Major is over to let Aether take over the position of the main sniper again?" Apex asked in surprise.

"It's okay, everybody's in such good shape now, I think we just need to be ready, and we don't need to rely on tactics to win. Originally, I thought that Aether's state might fluctuate after being targeted, but now it seems that I am too worried. Zonic paused when he said this, and his tone became a lot more serious,

"There is no need to hide the details and tactics of the map, just play seriously, each one is the last one, don't be afraid of losing, it's a big deal that we go back to adjust after the offseason and prepare for the RMR of Eslone and Rio Major."

"It's good, I've heard that in other games, the teams that hide tactics don't seem to have any good results." Adu muttered.

"The commentary is in place." The sudden sound reminded everyone in Vitality.

Qin Feng glanced at the commentary seat on the main stage, and could only see the outlines of the four suits. They've been warming up here for an hour.

At this moment, more than a million people around the world are looking forward to it.

"Come on!" *After the final cheers, the first picture, the purgatory town chosen by Faze, is about to begin.

Qin Feng threw away the default USP of the CT side, picked up the twin guns thrown by Apex, rubbed his wrists, and waited for the end of the 15-second preparation time.

The eldest cousin on the other side took a deep breath and glanced meaningfully at Broky, who was sitting beside him.

"Broky, have you practiced all the props in the tactics we prepared this time?" Broky nodded, his face overflowing with confidence: "Don't worry, this time I lost the props, you will definitely shout 'good smoke', 'good thunder', 'good flash', 'good fire'!" Although it didn't sound right, Karrigan nodded encouragingly, Faze is also a team that has experienced strong winds and waves, and it can be said that it is a true portrayal of this galactic battleship.

What happened to Zywoo? What happened to Aether? Genius boy is amazing, huh? Can a gifted teenager do whatever he wants?

Of course, the eldest cousin's thoughts are naturally impossible for everyone to know, if Apex can know, maybe he will say to the eldest cousin: "Sorry, with Zywoo and Aether, vitality can really do whatever you want." ”

"Our pistol game 3A2B is good to defend by default, and this game should let Zywoo and Aether play double sniper defense as soon as possible." Apex said, looking at the end of the preparation time.

As we all know, the middle lane of Purgatory Town is different from the maps of Dust2 and Rice Garbage, and the control of the middle lane is not the key to this map, and the actual defensive area of the town is actually only two roads except for the second floor, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zywoo and Aether can greatly compress Faze's attacking space if they use sniper rifles to control the B spot and the middle lane respectively, which is also one of the tactics prepared by Vitality before the game.

With the cheers of the audience, the players on both sides also began to move. From God's point of view, the five players of the attacking team ran quickly towards the banana road in Area B.

Playing with the machine, he looked at the props on the faze crowd and cleared his throat.

"This wave of faze is equipped with two smoke grenades and four flashbang grenades, and it seems that it is intended to explode the bombs and hit B in one wave."

"Broky's side of the bandits sealed the police's cigarettes, and Faze's side hit B directly at the fastest speed."

"Hit b, hit b, hit b." The important thing was said three times, and when the apex behind the coffin saw the smoke bomb explode, he quickly communicated with his teammates in the voice.

Zywoo didn't have time to think too much about it after a box, and said hurriedly while thinking about dodging the wall,

"Throw me a flash, I'll brush it back."

“shbang！” Almost as Zywoo spoke, Apex threw out the flash in his hand without any delay behind the coffin.

"Smack, smack, smack." A box later, Zywoo carried the flash and began to pull out the cover and shoot the bandits covering their eyes.

“zywoo！”

"The attack of this bandit highlights the speed of a soldier, but Zywoo's two unreasonable headshots directly disrupted Faze's rhythm." Playing with the machine made a heartfelt sigh.

After a box, it was a relatively passive position for the CT side, but the precise positioning of the two shots instantly reversed the situation on the field.

The endgame of five to three, C4 fell under the stage, even if Apex gave it in vain after the coffin smoke dissipated, it was harmless, the CT of the police family defense was already in place, and the remaining three people wanted to win this endgame can only be said to be as difficult as the sky.

After a tentative struggle, Vitality easily replaced the remaining three of Faze at the cost of one person.

"1 to 0, this wave of a box of zywoo has been played, plus Adu and Aether are not too far from the police, and the return defense is quite timely." The game machine analyzes the situation in the first round.

However, in the second round, when everyone picked up the spear, they were quickly taught a lesson by Faze's Desert Eagle.

In less than 20 seconds of the opening game, Apex and the demon man, who were holding the mp9 front press, both died under the sand eagle of Faze.

"Ou You, the big rain god is another sand eagle headshot, and at the beginning of the game, Faze used two sand eagle headshots to get a numerical advantage, and these two sand eagle headshots seem to be easy to fight, how did this work?" The adult who played showed his literary skills as a master of idioms in a timely manner.

"How?" The rain god who picked up the mp9 cut out the gun and asked casually.

"Set up the gun for a while, they are likely to be inferior in numbers, and I will go to point A to harass in 40 seconds, and the four of you will fight B." The eldest cousin groaned for a moment,

"Don't worry, they'll deliver it." The two guns that fell on the opposite side are submachine guns, and the remaining three people are most likely to have long guns in their hands.

It's a very simple logic, in the case of 3 to 5, CT solo guarding can only rely entirely on personal ability, so vitality wants to relieve the pressure on both sides, and can only make up for the two heads that were lost first by taking information from the front.

but…… lookatthemap。 Zywoo, who was guarding the B area alone, did not move at all, and Qin Feng and Adu in the A area did not have any action at all to go forward or return to the gambling area.

This is stable until there are only 40 seconds left. Ropz surprisingly did not choose to break off, but the eldest cousin came to Area A and used the sand eagle to constantly peek the possible enemies on the left and right, and at the same time, Faze's Area B attack also began to start.

Due to the strong start, Faze didn't have many props, so he could only seal the coffin and the policeman's gun position through smoke, let Ropz jump on the steps next to the box, and perform a wave of synchronized exit points with the rain under the box, trying to find an opportunity to break through the vitality defense line with a double pull.

The sound of playing machines is finally no longer silent,

"Ropz stepped on a box of steps, intending to pull with the rain god."

"How many Zywoo can hit in the three-column position?"

"Zywoo order one, order two!"

“woo！ This wave! What, Broky, who wanted to pull out the gun and make up for it, was also knocked out by him. ”

"The top marksmanship broke out, and the big sweet potato in the three-column position turned directly, and the director who walked at the end finally put away Zywoo, but he was shot in the head by the m4a1 bullet!" The 2-on-2 endgame continues, but the barrage is more concerned or amazing, and more lies in the perfect play of Zywoo.

[There is a kind of beauty that is full of parameters. 【zywoo has such a strong personal ability, he must have won a lot of major championships, right?】

[Don't worry, it's coming, I'll take the Rio major, I've already helped vitality think of a champion skin in advance.]

】【？ I always feel like it's all skewers watching the game, am I just a little bee fan? [I want to hug the potato in my dreams, he must be very comfortable to hug it] C4 is placed, the countdown is on, Adu and Qin Feng return from the connected position together, but the eldest cousin is in the middle of the road after a fake run, and quietly touched the middle entrance of Area A.

However, the eyes of the machine did not pay attention to the eldest cousin in the back, but locked on the director who was dead blood after three boxes.

"It's very important how long this wave of directors can drag, Aether and Adu who are back to defend don't have smoke bombs but have pliers, and the big cousin who has just circled around has just arrived at the connected position." Playing with machines and talking,

"Don't look at the director, there are only ten drops of blood, but if you can steal one person, it's still Faze's advantage." As soon as the words of the machine fell, the director suddenly pulled horizontally, and the CT duo near the tree position on the defensive road was caught off guard.

"Da-da-da-da-da." M4A1: A barrage of bullets pierced Adu's body like lasers.

Fortunately, Qin Feng replenished the gun in time, quickly turned the muzzle, and poured out a deadly bullet in the direction of the hairstylist.

"It may be demolished." Before he died, the director told his eldest cousin the last information from his point of view.

"Oh? Aether didn't fake it.,Obviously there's still 15 seconds left in the endgame.,Do you really want to dismantle this thunder bag next to the box? "It's a bit surprising to play machines from God's point of view, even though CSGO has been around since ancient times

"Prosneverfake" tradition, but 15 seconds is still a lot of time for the endgame at hand.

The eldest cousin cut the knife and ran all the way to the policeman's house near the edge of the map, and finally saw Qin Feng's back being unpacked.

Qin Feng, who had his back and his head bowed, made the eldest cousin unable to find the position of his head for the first time, so he could only helplessly shoot Qin Feng's body from a distance.

When the first sound of the Sand Eagle bullet sounded, four seconds had passed since the countdown to the bomb was defused.

"It's probably going to be dismantled." When the eldest cousin saw that Qin Feng did not choose to turn back and fight back, but continued to unpack, his heart began to panic, and the hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The Sand Eagle bullets kept coming out of the chamber, but the unpacked CT never fell.

"Da-da-da-da-da." This time, the eldest cousin paid tribute to Niko and dreamed back to the castle. Looking at Broky and Ropz, who were smiling beside him, the eldest cousin rubbed his nose,

"It's a lot of blood." The barrage will naturally not let go of this opportunity to ridicule professional players. [Ah, let's open it, Sand Eagle can't be killed with 7 shots, it's so thick blood!]

[Niko doesn't die with 3 shots on his back, and his eldest cousin doesn't die with 7 shots on his back, so the eldest cousin is about equal to Nikonikoni.

[Tsk, this wave, Bole said it was a good horse after seeing it! ] 【This is the closest I've ever been...... Forget it, I'm really killing if I came.
