In the early morning of October 3, at Malta International Airport, there was a light rain in the sky.

As soon as Qin Feng walked out of the terminal with his suitcase, he saw the vitality team leader not far from the parking lot waving to him.

Tomorrow is the first day of the IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR Group B, and all the teams will be in action.

And after the end of the ESL ONE journey, the crowd of Vitality rushed to the Malta competition venue without stopping.

The reason why the team leader came to the airport to pick up the airport was also because he was worried about any emergency.

"Wind, welcome back, your hands...... Are you alright? The team leader hugged Qin Feng and greeted him, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"I'm fine."

"Okay!"

Looking at Qin Feng, who was full of confidence in front of him, the team leader was immediately overjoyed.

Although Snax also traveled with the team as a substitute, it was a helpless choice after all.

It would be great if the team's thigh aether could play!

"By the way, the draw for the first round has been decided, and we will play against a team called Fantasy tomorrow afternoon."

"But they're not a strong team and we don't have any special tactics."

"Of course, in order to prepare for the Rio Major, Apex still laid out a lot of tactics, he should have sent it to your phone, you can take a look."

"By the way, there'......"

In the process of helping Qin Feng put his luggage in the trunk, the team leader still talked excitedly.

Qin Feng got into the car in response to the team leader, while pulling his mobile phone, and began to study the tactics prepared by APEX.

The tactics on the offensive end are lackluster, and as Qin Feng expected, they are mainly based on the default of the control map.

As for the tactical content of the defender, most of them are based on conventional default, and a few are supplemented by forward pressure and anti-clearing.

Qin Feng knew in his heart that when he was not sure whether he would be able to return from injury and might have to let Snax come on as a substitute, it was impossible for Apex to arrange those particularly aggressive tactics.

As for Zywoo, it is more stable than an aggressive sniper, and it can even be said that Zywoo can play a huge role in a single point, and at the same time can put a lot of pressure on the attacker.

In short, Apex thinks this tactic fits Vitality well.

However, Qin Feng looked at the content on his phone and was a little worried.

The tactics and system in CSGO is a spiraling process.

It does not mean that normal defense will be worse than dynamic defense, it mainly depends on the player's individual ability.

However, the problem with conventional defense is that the bag is easily disturbed by props, and it relies heavily on the individual ability and presence of the defenders.

When he was resting in Huaguo, Qin Feng was not idle.

He looked at his own first-person perspective several times.

In the process of watching, he found some problems.

In fact, his position selection, his forward pressure, is not so impeccable.

The only thing that is impeccable is marksmanship and reflexes.

But if a team studies his habits, can he still press forward and defend so well?

Naturally, it can't.

CSGO is a 5v5 game, and there is a limit to one's abilities after all.

On his own, he has come up with many props that can be targeted at himself.

What's more, Qin Feng can't guarantee that Apex, Magic Man, and Adu can play stably on the stage of the Major.

In contrast, certain tactics interspersed with dynamic defense may be more suitable for him and Vitality.

……

At more than 10 o'clock in the morning, Qin Feng finally came to the first floor of the hotel.

He didn't go to eat first, but knocked on the door of Apex, ready to discuss with him about defensive tactics in the upcoming game.

He's going to turn Apex's mind around first.

Zywoo will gladly accept whatever tactics the team has in place, but he is different.

The current tactics, when encountering other teams, rely on him and zywoo to ensure the lower limit. If you run into a highly disciplined team like heroic, once he and Zywoo drop the chain, it will basically be stable and filial.

If there really needs a wicked person in the team to question it, then he will do it.

"Who?" Apex opened the door as he spoke, and the moment he saw Qin Feng, the frowning brows on his face instantly dispersed, "Feng, are you back?" ”

"Hmm." Qin Feng casually found a chair and sat down, looking at Apex's happy smile and trying to soften his voice, "I'm back." ”

"I've watched all the recent games of our team, and I feel that the problem is quite big. What do you think? ”

Apex pondered for a moment and nodded.

"yes, it's quite big."

"Snax can't take your place at all."

Qin Feng: ......

"It's not a problem, I mean, I feel like we've had a bit of a stiff fight in the last few games, don't you think?"

"I've been flipping through the footage of vitality, and our lineup has obviously been strengthened, but our current system seems to be a lot stiffer than when Kyojin and Misutaaa were in '21."

"Why?"

Apex was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

He had thought about the answer to this question countless times.

Why is Vitality's offense a mess, why is Zywoo's state declining compared to the previous two years, and why is it almost difficult to carry out the offense in the team when Qin Feng is away.

The conclusion is information and communication.

In 2021, when Shox was still around, Vitality was still a team that communicated in pure French, and the information in the team could be fed back quickly, and Zywoo was a sniper who ate information like a fish in water.

Coupled with the fact that Shox is a free man, he is a good player in both breaking and taking map information, which also makes Vitality look like a team with a chance of winning the championship in '21.

But since Dupreeh and Magisk joined, the team seems to have changed.

Zonic did not integrate Team A's system into Vitality, but instead destroyed Vitality's original system.

Although the marksmanship made up for a lot of tactical shortcomings, Vitality could no longer give the audience any hope of winning the championship.

It wasn't until Qin Feng joined that vitality won their first major championship in 2022.

Looking at the thoughtful apex, Qin Feng continued to dissect his views layer by layer:

"I think we should have more information on the map."

"It's certainly possible to default to the tactics of sticking to the game, but why not rely on me and Zywoo to get more map information?"

"When we play CT, as long as Zywoo and I are in the front point, the opponent will definitely have to hand in more props to count, and correspondingly, when the opponent attacks the bag, we will have less pressure."

"I've studied heroic's dynamic defense many times, and their dynamic defense is different from the average dynamic defense. The traditional dynamic defense is to help the players of main A or main B take control of the map, reduce the pressure of defense, and prevent the opposite rush, but the dynamic defense of HEOIC is more about the purpose of getting information. ”

"If we can defend dynamically in certain rounds, then we must be more pressing than heroic, after all, Zywoo and I can play big snipes."

"I don't want to let the oppressive feeling of AWP go to waste."

"But heroic ......"

Apex was hesitant to say something but couldn't.

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, I know what you're trying to say."

"Heroic's failure to win the championship is not a problem with the all-offense and all-defense tactical system."

"The problem with heroic is individual ability."

"There are two problems with the dynamic defense of full offense and full defense, one is the fear that the area of the single defender will be quickly broken through, and the other is the fear that the opponent will have unreasonable marksmanship."

"But we're different."

Speaking of this, Qin Feng smiled, "Don't worry, you have me, you have zywoo." ”

"Perhaps, we can create our own, a unique system."

apex looked at Qin Feng, who was full of confidence, and nodded.

The wheels of the times rolled forward, running over Happy, Shox, and Kennys.

If nothing else, he will also complete his curtain call at the Paris Major.

Perhaps, now is indeed the time for young people.

Even though there is only one day before the RMR, Apex already has its own answer in its heart.

As for the result, let the game and time decide.
