"Zeus!! You're playing ......" At the end of a training match, S1mple finally couldn't help but start to warm up, and turned his head to scold.

"What's the problem?" Zeus asked with a very gentle expression.

Looking at the NAVI short sleeves that were about to burst, S1mple's face suddenly calmed down, and he shook his head from the heart: "It's okay, I want to praise you for playing well." ”

"It's not that good, I feel like I've had a few waves of timing and it's still too bad." Zeus touched his head and laughed.

S1mple also finally knew at this moment why the conductors of the CIS liked to train their muscles.

Clear thinking is to reason with them, and outrageous muscles are to reason with them when they don't make sense.

Under the intimidation of Zeus's iron fist, S1mple was forced to become sensible.

But he was still depressed and speechless in his heart, looked at the smiling fire man on the side, and suddenly became angry:

"Fire man, what are you laughing at? Did you just play well? The iron plate has been lost once! ”

Fire Man: "......"

There was a big question mark in his small eyes, he guarded the iron plate for 15 rounds, isn't it okay to be knocked out once?

Is it a bad record of 30 rounds and 21/3/16?

"What are you looking at?" The training match ended for the time being, and Zeus also asked.

The fire man regained his smile and replied to Zeus, "This MIBR was chased by VP in the Zotac Cup. ”

"Ahh

They were still surprised to hear the news.

They all know the competition of the Hong Kong Zotac Cup, after all, there is only one recent international event, although the overall level of the event is not high, but the exaggerated prize money still makes them very envious.

When they were bored, they also talked about the strength of the participating teams this time.

Then a common answer was given - MIBR used to pick up money!

MIBR is now ranked 7th in the world!

On HLTV, if the world rankings are roughly divided, there will be several stalls with a large difference in strength.

But the top 5 HLTV rankings belong to T0.

The 5th-10th belong to T1.

The 10th-20th are T2.

The strength of the team after 20 is uneven.

In addition to MIBR, the strongest players in this tournament are none other than a world No. 12 Tianlu and a world No. 19 VP.

Tianlu was eliminated early, and VP couldn't affect MIBR's way of picking up money in their opinion.

"What's the situation?" The original anger in S1mple's heart was also shocked by this sudden news, "How can MIBR still lose?" VP odds are full? ”

Ignoring the joke behind S1mple, Huo Nan looked at the game report and said, "The VP newcomer has played and forcibly woken up the state of several other VP people." ”

He turned his head to look at S1mple: "That's Nice, the two of us were in the third row with ropz that day, weren't we blown up by the load and Nice?" ”

"Oooh! I have an impression of this. S1mple remembered that he was not in good shape that day, and he was numb to ropz.

Huo Nan continued: "It's outrageous, a BO3 got 83 heads, and a breakthrough player scored an average rating of 1.42, and MIBR couldn't limit that guy." ”

"Hiss......" Everyone in the NAVI training room gasped.

Zeus frowned and said with some curiosity: "Where did this pasha find such a talented player?" ”

"It seems that I met him on Faceit, so I dragged him to the tryout." Huo Nan replied.

They also knew about the situation, when VP found a replacement to pull his hips, but he never found a good player to add.

Zeus didn't expect that pasha would be so reckless now and look for someone directly on Faceit.

And most importantly, it really made him find!

Looking at this record, he is still a very powerful genius boy.

"How do you feel like you know everything." Edward patted the fire man on the shoulder, smiling on his face.

"You know, I get along very well with people." Huo Nan smiled implicitly, he didn't brag about this, he even knew the birthday of every professional brother he knew.

S1mple looked at the briefing on Huo Man's mobile phone and was also happy: "Now MIBR is going to be ridiculed by the group, a rare big upset!" ”

Then he took out his phone and began to edit the characters.

Edward walked over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's fun! S1mple looked right.

Edward was a little speechless, he knew why S1mple was so strong, but he was not liked in the professional arena.

……

VP everyone rejoicing at their victory.

Taz, who has already qualified for the finals, has mixed feelings.

After years of getting along day and night, the relationship between Taz and Pasha and others is not a relative, but it is better than a relative.

But at the end of their careers, they fell apart because of a 500,000 yuan Mercedes-Benz, and the spearhead came from him, but not only from him.

Before the 2017 DreamHack Masters, the VP boss publicly stated that if the five could win the championship in this competition, he would randomly give away a Mercedes-Benz worth 500,000 yuan.

They also managed to win the championship in that race, because Mercedes only had one, so they gave the better Taz in the race, but in fact it was NEO who played a bigger role in that race.

After that incident, a violent argument broke out within the VP team, and NEO was no longer willing to be the conductor.

The rest of the team seemed to be stuck in their throats, and they were separated from Taz, and finally the VP who was only one step away from winning the Major no longer existed.

The continuous decline of VP's performance was caused by him in the first place, and Taz has wondered countless times late at night that if he had not been so greedy at that time, but chose to exchange that Mercedes for the whole team, would his prefix still be VP now?

But after waking up from a dream, Taz understands that his prefix is no longer VP, and there is no regret medicine in this world.

Tomorrow's match will be a meeting between old friends, and it will also be a revengeful firefight between VPs.

Taz was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

VP's wonderful performance reminded him of his past glory, but he knew that there was only one one who could stand last tomorrow, and he wanted to lift that trophy!

So, pasha, NEO, Byali, are you ready to be opponents?

……

After accepting the official interview of the event, Xu Beifang met another acquaintance when he left the venue - Li Wenzhe, who had been a commentator at IEM Shanghai.

The two said hello, and then Li Wenzhe conducted a brief interview with him as a reporter.

After IEM Shanghai, Li Wenzhe gradually found that he may not be particularly suitable for this position, after all, other people's commentaries need to be professional and neutral, and his private work is a bit much, but not enough, to become an excellent commentator.

Finally, in a live broadcast, he was suggested by netizens to go to IEM Shanghai to interview some players from other teams.

was originally a staff member, and Li Wenzhe's English level was also quite good, so he decided to do it instantly.

The response to the various interviews at IEM Shanghai was also good, and then there was a competition in Hong Kong, and he didn't need to go too far, so he got a visa and bought a ticket to come over as a staff member to conduct interviews.

He was excited to watch VP's game backstage, and he was very happy to catch VP in the rest area.

After a brief interview, Xu Beifang left with the team.

On the way back to the hotel, VP was so happy that he sang some songs in Polish in the car.

Xu Beifang also shook his head, so unhappy.

From the game itself, the beating of MIBR made them very happy.

Outside of the competition, it is also a happy fact to be able to advance to the finals.

Although Xu Beibei's salary level is quite good, the source of income for CSGO players is more dependent on event bonuses, relying on additional endorsements and live broadcasts.

In a previous IEM Shanghai competition, VP received a prize of 50,000 US dollars.

And to enter the final of the ZOTAC Cup, they can get a minimum of 60,000 US dollars!

If you can beat Little Penguin in tomorrow's final and become the champion, it will be 200,000 US dollars!!

In addition to distributing it to the coaching staff, their players can almost get 30,000 US dollars each, which is 200,000 yuan when converted into RMB!

This money can directly allow Xu Beifang to pay a down payment in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!

He worked as an accountant all his life, and it even took 3 years to earn this money.

Xu Beifang thought about it in his heart, and the smile on his face brightened, and he understood why everyone was so happy.

If he can win tomorrow, then NEO can buy the Mercedes that he once cherished with a little more money.

Pasha was able to use the money to buy her daughter another piano or a house for herself.

For the esports industry, they have a much higher revenue stream than the average industry.

The premise is that you have the strength to be able to stand at the top of this industry.

Although VP is now ranked in the top 20 in the world, there are less than 100 people in front of them, and now they have finally made some achievements and have these bonuses.

And what about the queues behind them?

There are countless Internet café teams that die on the road for their dreams, and esports is always cruel.

CSGO careers are hard to develop, and there's a reason for that.

Too many talented teenagers have died on the road.

Not everyone has the money, energy, and time to spend on it.

Esports can be for dreams –

But you can't just dream.

After winning this game, everyone in VP was very happy, and the coach took them out for a simple supper to fill their stomachs a little.

Then, at Byali's suggestion, a group of people rushed back to the hotel, and in the early hours of the morning, began to practice overnight.

Originally, VP didn't have much confidence in this event, but suddenly qualified for the finals, as long as he stretched out his hand again, it seemed as if he could touch the trophy.

For a while, they were a little panicked because they didn't have enough training before.

So although I was happy, I didn't stay at the night stall for a long time, and soon rushed back to practice.

After more than an hour of defense practice, everyone entered a short rest, and they were ready to come another hour and start to wash and sleep.

Pasha and NEO went to the balcony, and NEO took out a cigarette and lit it, and didn't rush to smoke it, but just let the tobacco burn slowly.

In the early hours of the morning, the entire city in front of him had already entered a rest, and a silence soothed people's hearts.

But NEO's mood was not calm, the breeze was blowing, the flame of the cigarette was slowly lit up, and his mood was very complicated.

"Thinking about tomorrow's game?" Pasha asked, putting her arm around his shoulder.

"A little." NEO DIDN'T HIDE HIS EMOTIONS, HE TURNED HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT THE NEWCOMER AND BYALI WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHY HE WAS LAUGHING, AND SAID, "WE USED TO BE LIKE THIS, TRAINING UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING, LAUGHING AND PLAYING IN THE TRAINING ROOM, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT STARTED, AND IT GRADUALLY BECAME A JOB. ”

Pasha patted him on the shoulder, knowing that the incident had left a pimple in his heart.

"Our boss is a guy with a hole in his brain, we took the initiative to help contact him later, Nice is a good kid, don't let him stay in VP later, MICHU should still have a contract, this can't be helped." NEO said to pasha, "Young people trust us, don't let them down. ”

The VP boss is really pure, and the Mercedes-Benz incident at the beginning was largely a problem with the boss, but later it turned into a problem within the team because of Taz's attitude.

It can only be said that the VP boss knows how to motivate the players.

If it weren't for the fact that he had reached the end of his career, NEO would not have been angry with this and would have left long ago.

Pasha took the cigarette from his hand, took a puff and coughed again: "I don't even know what this cigarette is good to smoke right now, but for Nice's plan, the two of us want to go together." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

VP is now reluctant to spend money on new recruits, and Nice is in jail if he stays on the team.

Originally, he was 22 years old enough, and if he couldn't go to other first-team teams to shine, even if he had the opportunity to play on the top stage, it would only be a flash in the pan.

As Nice's guide, they don't want to see that happen.

Kuben was already asleep as the accompanying coach, unaware that two people were backstabbing the entire team.

Looking at the distance for a while, NEO thought of tomorrow's game, and suddenly said, "Pasha, let me command the next game." ”

"Really?"

"Did I lie to you about this kind of thing?" NEO ASKED RHETORICALLY.

"That's great!!" Pasha was quite pleased.

Unlike the French, who liked to compete for command, Pasha became the conductor because NEO was unwilling to take on the role of command, and he was forced to take on the task.

But he also knew in his heart that his command was a complete clumsy imitation compared to NEO!

Let's not talk about how much energy it takes to command, and he doesn't do as well as NEO in team management and tactical arrangement.

After all, NEO was once the commander of VP at its peak!

NEO took over the command position, then he can become a sniper in the future, and it is enough to do his own mission, instead of worrying about the defense on both sides when he is highly focused.

"After playing this London Major, I guess I will go to the second team to lead the newcomers to mess around, which may be the last days for our two old men to play in the game." NEO sighed, "If you don't give it your all again, you may not have a chance in the future." ”

"Besides, if you win tomorrow's BO3, I will fill in all the bonuses for coming to China this time, and you can buy a Mercedes-Benz."

NEO GRITTED HIS TEETH AND SAID, "ONCE THAT MERCEDES, THIS TIME I WANT TO EARN IT BACK BY MYSELF!" ”

There is another chapter in the evening, and I go out for a walk to wash my brain
