Paris, France.

Vitality's training base.

Apex stretched, he had just finished his final training assignment for the day.

There aren't many training tasks, because it's just a matter of maintaining the state.

After G2 Miyato left, apex became one of the outers.

apex, who had no team to go to, had no choice but to re-establish a new team - Vitality with happy, NBK-, and Rpk.

The new team is still in the pipeline, but the problems have already been exposed.

Their old gang is gradually declining, it is difficult to get good results, and there is even a shortage of people.

Vitality's management has found this year's FPL No. 1 French youngster Zai to join their team.

However, on the other hand, it will take several months for him to finish his final studies.

In this way, the four old men began to look forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the load to join.

In the past few months, old friends have been shining in G2. But they don't even have people, and there will inevitably be a gap in their hearts.

However, no one questioned the personal ability of the load.

Whether it's from the performance in the FPL or the performance in the second-tier game.

They all thought the wait was worth it.

However, Happy is getting older and his level is declining very seriously, and he has clearly told him that he is just coming to help, so that apex and the management have to continue to recruit someone to join.

apex had a headache when he heard this, French CSGO talent is seriously broken, where will I go to find new people in this time and a half!

Unless it's to turn Veltality into an international lineup.

Thinking about it like this, the ladder game with VP appeared in his head again.

While thinking like this, he sat on the sofa and unconsciously swiped his phone.

A piece of news on HLTV caught his attention -

"IEM Shanghai Group Stage: VP Rookie Debut was a big success, VP beat 5power and HR lightly, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals."

VP has advanced to the finals, and that newcomer of morelz is fierce again? …… apex was a little confused, but also interested,

Click in to start looking at the specifics.

"In the group stage of IEM Shanghai, VP did not do well on the first day when he used the original lineup, and lost by 3 points in the mystery of his strong plan to die in the city.

Entering the lower bracket, they made a bold decision to use newcomer Nice from China for the first time in IEM Shanghai, which makes us wonder if VP will start from a purely Polish squad to an international one......

apex：？？？

What is it? Nice？？

Is that the Nice I know?

apex has always had some impressions of the ladder high pin warrior who used to feel good about himself, and even now he has his friends in his Faceit account, just to leave a thought, if happy really retires in the future, you can invite him to come over and try it.

But he didn't expect that this person would be poached by VP first!!

apex doesn't think it's an ID with the same name, after all, the ID is the same, the nationality is the same, and it's even mixed with the VP.

With so many elements together, it can't be a coincidence.

“…… In the two BO3s that the newcomer played, he showed extremely strong tension, and he played a rating of 1.57 and 1.31 respectively in the two BO3 games, which was quite good. ”

"I'll go, whose data is so fierce?" NBK didn't know when he sat next to him, and he also looked at the data graph in apex's hand.

"VP's newcomer, Nice." Apex replied with some wistfulness.

The success of the old brothers in G2 made him doubly uncomfortable, let alone an opponent like VP?

"I'll just say, how can the VP's state suddenly pick up, it's almost time for them to retire from the stage of history." NBK took a bite of the banana and said vaguely.

The more NBK said that, the more uncomfortable apex became.

"This could have been a member of our Vitality!"

Recalling the exaggerated data just now, he was even more disappointed.

How did such a dazzling gun man become a teammate of VP's gang of muscle sticks?

If I had spoken earlier, would Nice have become a member of Vitality by now?

"How?" NBK was very surprised by this, after all, the other party is a Chinese, how could he become their teammate?

"I was matched with him on Facite, opposite the VP foursome, and I beat up the pasha guys with him, and I thought I'd see how Happy was doing, and if the problem was too big, I'd invite him."

"As a result, VP's damn muscle sticks are really fast!!"

Apex was so angry that his back molars were about to crush.

"Ahh NBK didn't expect such a stubble to be there.

"I seem to have seen your ladder clip, don't be angry, people are pasha fans, it's normal to join VP." NBK comforted apex with a few words.

"So why didn't he join Tianlu directly and go abroad to play professionally?" Rpk asked as well.

Tianlu's strength is not weak, why go to a foreign country to play?

"I know!" Happy raised his hand and replied, "I just asked a Chinese fan, and he told me that Nice once went to Tianlu for a tryout, but he wanted to go to the home team, and the Tianlu home team had no place, so in the end it was gone." ”

"At that time, he had already reached the top position on the 5E platform, and someone suggested that he go to Faceit, and he came up to find a team."

This made Apex even more painful, and he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.

Nice explained that day that she was a fan of pasha, and she thought that she was going to VP because she liked pasha.

Now that I look at it, what kind of fans are here.

It's just a casual joke.

At that time, if he could open his mouth to invite, even if it was just for him to try out online, he might be wearing a Vitality team uniform today!

Apex's heart is like being inexplicably crushed by a boulder, what is this called!!

Tianlu, you can't do it, the players in your own competition can't stand it, so people can only go abroad to find a team!!

somebody, what the hell are you doing!!

It's hard to pass by this kind of genius boy, and Apex is even dissatisfied with Tianlu.

Only those who have lost can know that when you regret the battle situation, you will blame something that seems to be connected with it, but has little to do with it.

"VP came out of the lower bracket with a 2-0 record and will compete with Tianlu in the semi-finals to qualify for the final."

Seeing this message, apex decisively opened Twitter and opened his mouth to edit the text and send:

"Tomorrow IEM Shanghai VP and Tianlu will face off, Nice come on, you must beat somebody!!"

……

After a day of playing in Shanghai, the VP finally returned to the hotel room a little tired.

But they can't rest yet, the day of entertainment is over, and then it's time to get to work.

"I let you rest yesterday, today let's review yesterday's game video and pick out the problem." Coach Kuben motioned for everyone to look at their computers, scan them round by round, and explain according to his vision, and then communicate with the players to screw back their slightly wrong ideas.

The whole review took nearly 3 hours, and after the end, everyone in VP had tiredness in their eyes, and the coach also explained that his mouth was dry.

Xu Beifang felt the knowledge drifting through his mind, and his eyes were slightly confused.

After a long time of reviewing and thinking, this intensity made him a little unbearable.

However, he will keenly notice the difference between the coach's DEMO explanation and yesterday's machine explanation.

As a coach, Kuben actually has a lot of work.

Arrange training every day, record their training status, communicate with other teams' training matches, communicate with the tournament team, prepare the next itinerary, and study the opponent's game footage.

He works no less hours a day than the VP players.

Therefore, he will not explain the DEMO in detail, and he will not find small problems in the operation from everyone.

He only starts from the overall situation, looks for this point of tactics, sees who has a wrong understanding of tactics, and then points out the direction.

He picks mistakes in the game and looks at the problem as a whole.

And playing with the machine is to help him review it personally.

The two have different emphasis, but I have to say that Kuben is still more professional.

In his review, there is no correct answer in the operation play, but more effective play based on the opponent's play.

For example, in defending teams that like to fake play and like to play waves, the player's operating ideas definitely need to change.

kuben will find fault with the VP team based on the opponent's style.

The 3-hour review made Xu Beibei's overall view of the game improve a lot.

But we still need to think more about it and summarize it in the future.

"That's it for today, play BO3 with Tianlu tomorrow, their strength should not be underestimated recently, let's not be careless, go to bed early and keep a good rest to cope with tomorrow's game."

As soon as kuben's words came out, the players in the VP training room immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Looking at the players who looked like this, Kuben sighed, these old guys don't like training more and more.

Turning his head and seeing the newcomer sitting in front of the computer and fighting a deathmatch, he smiled again.

At least one more has learned well.
