In 2018, Huaxia hosted several relatively successful international competitions, such as the CAS Asia Summit, CAC Asia Invitational, IEM Shanghai, Hong Kong Zotac Cup and a series of other events.

made this game, which was only in open beta for 17 years, have a good popularity.

Among them, the news that Tianlu, the first team in China, and Xu Beibei, who is in VP, are going to participate in the Major qualifiers has come recently, and the audience of the domestic forum is also looking forward to it.

[Nice and Tianlu are cheering abroad! ] I hope that this time they will make it to the main draw of the Major and get good results. 】

[Bold prediction, Tianlu was eliminated 0-3]

[Don't be, Tianlu is now ranked 11th in the world, and the previous Majors have also competed for the level of Major qualification]

[VP feels like he can enter the main competition, but he feels a lot of pressure, and the level of the old men is too unstable]

[Actually, if you call Snax back, then it feels like there is no pressure, and now there is no one else in the VP team except Xiao Xu, there is no one else's core output point]

[The road ahead is very difficult, and Nice's style of play may not be able to play well in the tournament]

In the domestic forum, various voices are looking forward to, belittling, utilitarian milk, and cheering......

And VP and Tianlu, who are far away in London, also ushered in their first day of competition.

Tianlu met the red star in the first day of grouping, and the overall pressure was not great.

After all, they have already seen the strength of Red Star in the IEM Shanghai competition. Although they did not play against Red Star specifically, it can be known from their overall performance and post-match analysis that the level of this team has declined seriously after Zeus left.

However, Tianlu is still waiting, after all, it is the first day of the game, and it is best to get off to a good start.

On the VP side, the results are not very ideal.

Because they met arguably one of the strongest teams in the entire qualifiers, the legendary team from Sweden - Ninjas in Pyjamas, abbreviated as NIP, nicknamed Pajama Ninja.

When it comes to the history of CSGO, you can't go past a team.

As the first team to make the transition from CS1.6 to CSGO, coupled with the team's strong individual ability, they played a very horrific domination in the early CSGO games - 87 maps and a horror record that was not lost.

This outrageous 87-game winning streak has not yet been broken by any team.

The team has countless fans around the world, and the team has legends of GeT_RiGhT calibre in the team, and wherever they go, their home stadium is their home.

VP has quite a few people who are fans of the legendary player.

And there are also gun male players like f0rest, REZ, and dennis in the team, and VP is under a lot of pressure against them.

There are a lot of things that can be detected in terms of the current state, NIP is now ranked 6th in the world on HLTV, and VP is 19th.

At 8 p.m. London time, the VP group took their seats in the arena's battle room.

The NIP crowd was in the battle room on their left, and they had even greeted them very kindly, but the VP crowd couldn't relax.

After the BP of both sides ends, the map is finally determined to be a Desert Maze.

With a few minutes left before the start of the game, Kuben, as the coach, began the pre-match training session.

"Everyone adjust their mentality, and we will try to play our own style in this game." He didn't come up to meet one of the strongest teams in this qualifier on the first game, and in an instant, his originally calm mind was directly full of pressure.

"Fortunately, it's the maze they chose, and we've been playing this map lately, especially as a defender to start first."

These words also gave VP and the players some confidence, after all, in the last three games of the Desert Maze, they played very well as a whole, and finally won the victory.

Immediately after that, kuben came to Xu Beibei's side and began to soothe his emotions: "Don't be nervous, just play like playing the ladder or the previous game, although NIP is ranked high, but do you think that MIBR's ranking is not bad, doesn't he bow down to our men?" ”

"So as long as we can play at our usual level in this game, we still have a chance to win."

Xu Beifang listened and nodded, the most beneficial place for them is that today's BO1 map is a desert maze, this map has a simple structure, but it is very comprehensive, which can make up for some of their shortcomings.

But he thought very well, but when he really entered the game, Xu Beifang really felt the pressure again.

NIP made him feel the intensity of the Major level in the connection of the props and the speed of the replenishment of the gun, which was a bit widened in an instant from the previous competition in Asia, which was equivalent to the intensity of the finals.

Fortunately, Xu Beibei's pistol game played, relying on cover and constantly shaking his body to get a wave of three kills, helping the team win this point.

HOWEVER, IN THE SECOND ROUND, NIP CHOSE TO BE STRONG, AND IN THE SPACE OF 40 SECONDS, MICHU WAS KILLED BY REZ'S SAND EAGLE IN AN INSTANT, ANNOUNCING THE RESULT OF THE FALL OF ZONE B.

Xu Beifang's defense was also knocked to death by the old six dennis who was hanging on the edge of the VIP and knocked to death with a sand eagle.

VP was directly overturned.

Entering the third round, in the face of VP's strong rise, dennis, the Swedish pistol king, also killed with 4 headshots, officially announcing the arrival of the Major to Xu Beibei.

Later, when he came to the spear bureau, the rhythm of NIP's mid-lane control map was also quite smooth, even if pasha played a big sniper, he couldn't get much control over the mid-lane.

Their information on the map is being eaten away by NIP little by little with props, and then a wave of clip A or clip B directly and quickly advances.

EVEN IF XU BEIBEI WAS ABLE TO CHANGE TO THE DOMINANT HEAD IN THE FRONT, MICHU AND NEO COULD NOT WIN THE ENDGAME WHEN THEY CAME BACK TO DEFEND IN ZONE B.

The score came to 1:7 before you knew it.

Xu Beifang finally figured it out, and the frontal defense couldn't be defended, so he gave up the bag.

He once again started the great cause of forward pressure, and this scene made the audience in the live broadcast room call back.

A forward pressure to get all the information in Area A, VP entered the state of gambling points, and with his outflanking in the back, he successfully got a point on this metaphysical score.

But in the face of VP's gambling point, NIP reacted quite quickly, and immediately made adjustments in the follow-up, which did not make him so rampant.

Xu Beibei's next forward pressure was often able to gain an advantage with marksmanship, but the success rate was much lower than when he was in Hong Kong, after all, the opposite side sent REZ over.

This old F's personal disciple, Friberg's successor, and the top gun man with the duality of gods and ghosts.

In the previous point of the confrontation, he fought back and forth with Xu Beifang, although Xu Beifang had a higher winning rate.

But often when you get a kill, you can only retreat with residual blood.

He was able to win the game against REZ, but Pasha and the others couldn't win against the kobolds.

In the end, the first half ended with VP only getting 5 scores.

As a CT, this is a failing score.

But in the half-time break, they could only encourage each other in the hope of playing better in the second half.

They have prepared a lot of offensive tactics in the labyrinth.

It's just that CSGO is a marksmanship game after all, and the role of tactics is only to better display your marksmanship.

The other party is not a weak team, although Xu Beibei has played in this situation, it is not enough to carry the team away.

A wave of B in the pistol bureau was directly hit by F0rest in B and a triple kill, and the pistol bureau was declared a rout.

Entering the spear game, Xu Beifang used not exaggerated ornaments to start the mysterious Dongfang Ganla, and a wave of speed up caught the three defenders of NIP A off guard, and successfully let the team win this point without injury.

But NIP responds quickly, knowing that you like to play unconventional, and then acquiescing to do a good job.

VP In this case, it can only burst a wave of bullets.

Although Xu Beibei played in the next few rounds, it was not enough to tilt the balance of victory in VP's side.

The final score was fixed at 11:16.

VP faced their strongest opponent in the group stage and lost the opening day.

Xu Beifang played 24/3/18 data on this map, but he finally felt the strength of the world's top teams.

After losing the game, Xu Beifang rubbed his temples.

Although there are psychological expectations, but still very unwilling, 11:16, it seems that the difference is only 5 scores, it seems that hard work can also play back, this is even more frustrating.

While packing up the peripherals, the NIP player walked over.

The kobold walked up to him and held out his hand to him.

Xu Beifang shook hands with him.

"Young people are playing well, come on, don't be discouraged."

Xu Beibei's frustration also improved a lot because of the friendliness of his opponent, and he replied with a smile:

"But I still can't win you."

The kobold smiled: "If you come up, you will be beaten by this newcomer, will our efforts for so many years be in vain?" ”

"Come on, come on! Hope to see you in the future. ”

The kobold patted Xu Beifang's shoulder, his eyes sincere.

He really felt that VP was playing well, even if VP lost the game in the end.

Because whether it is from the data or from the difficulty of the game, the young man in front of him is the first.

After being pressed forward at first, they directly sent REZ to guard against this guy, but they didn't expect REZ to be unable to watch it, which is a bit interesting.

On the follow-up offensive end, I have always seen this guy killing and scoring points.

After shaking hands and leaving, the kobold looked back at Xu Beibei, who was packing up his peripherals, and sighed:

"It's a pity, I can't play in VP, why don't I optimize F0rest, I'll find pasha to buy him."

"Hey, hey! I'm still here. ”

"Oh, then we'll say that again when you're not here."

REZ watched his seniors talk angry to each other like children, and his mood improved.

To be honest, they were all young people, and when he was placed to face Nice, he didn't feel anything.

But when he touched it, he found that he didn't have much frontal fighting, which made him a little frustrated, you must know that Nice is still pressed forward, he is often in the posture of a gun.

However, he was a little speechless, and in many rounds, the guy on the other side shot out like a perspective.

It looks like it's just going to blow up! Don't give people a little way to live.

Fortunately, in the end, it was won...... REZ breathed a sigh of relief and also followed the large troops.

VP lost the first day of the match in a collision with NIP.

In this regard, Tianlu people expressed great pity, but they can also understand, after all, let them collide with NIP, or they may die on the road, and the difference in strength is a little big.

And their match against Red Star on the first day, although there were thrills, finally won this sluggish Red Star team and entered the 1-0 group.

……

On the second day of qualifying, VP faced OpTic, who had previously met at the Hong Kong Zotac Cup.

BO1's map is still coming to the desert maze, this time it is VP's map, and they are the first to attack.

A pure Danish lineup team led by konfig, Xu Beifang has a certain impression of this player, after all, it is the last straw that will bring down Team A in the future.

Xu Beibei's only impression of him is that his bones are not good and he is a little lacking in calcium, and his overall strength still has no idea.

But since it was a team that hadn't even played a little penguin in the Zotac Cup, he didn't care, and Xu Beifang marked his opponent as a weak player from before the game began.

Maybe it was the feeling of losing to NIP yesterday that was still hidden in the bottom of his heart, which made him play a very exaggerated performance today.

Even if the rest of the VP was not in good shape, the whole map played 26 rounds, Xu Beibei played 31-3-18 data, and the post-game rating was 1.56, and he won the game with the team.

After the game, everyone in the live broadcast room of the CSGO national server expressed great surprise.

【Turtle Turtle! 31-18, what about the person who said Nice couldn't do it at the Major?? 】

[Yesterday I shouted Baimenlou one by one, and today I came to the Tiger Prison Pass!! 】

[This is an opening!] 】

[One thing to say, this OPTIC lost really wrongly, Area B has penetrated so many times, but Area A has been touched by Lu Bu every time]

[Today's NICE has the flavor of NIKO, and the front is invincible]

The moment he won the game, Xu Beifang shouted loudly in the room.

The rest of the team was also very excited, and although they met a slightly worse OPTIC today, NEO and pasha still haven't recovered their form.

In this level of competition, the lower limit of the team is an important part.

They dragged the team back on the lower limit, but fortunately, Nice played bravely enough to carry the team to win, how could they not be excited.

Gather your emotions and this time it's VP's turn to come to the opponent's side for a post-match handshake.

The same process, but the two feel very different.

When shaking hands, Konfig looked at Xu Beibei, who was in high spirits, and he wanted to say something cruel, but he looked at Pasha, the guard with a knife on the side, but still swallowed the cruel words.

And if you think about it carefully, they are not wronged to lose this game.

After all, as the first team on his side, his stats are 22-21, and the gap between him and the guy opposite is close to 10 heads.

To be able to get this kind of score depends more on the team's performance.

Relying on team members to be in better shape than opposing veterans, but they can rely on the team to find opportunities in VP.

VP is also able to defeat newcomers with their personal abilities.

They had expected the result of this game, but they were still not reconciled, after all, if they lost today's game, they entered the 0-2 group, if they still failed to win in tomorrow's BO3, it would be purely a round trip to London.

Their emotions, VP is not clear.

But the fast-paced schedule quickly faded his excitement about victory.

After returning to the hotel's training room, NEO also made an important decision:

"Next, we will play Nice as the absolute core, and the tactics are all built around him!"

NEO knew in his heart that the decline in their form was not obvious in Asia, and perhaps Nice had a background to hide it.

But when it comes to the Major, all the teams are firing on fire.

The sun is shining, the shadows are nowhere to hide, and their shortcomings are all coming out.

In this case, if you still rely on the previous default style of play to play, you will only be defeated by these players unconsciously.

Rather than this, take the initiative and become a more adventurous way of playing, and play to the strengths of the team!

Playing to your strengths and avoiding weaknesses is an important point in all competitive events.

"Do the rest of you have ideas?" NEO ASKED.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that it was no problem.

But Byali frowned and asked, "Is it the same as the royalist tactics of NAVI before?" But we have also seen the effect of royalist tactics, does this really work? ”

He has no objection to keeping Nice, but he has an opinion on this tactic.

"This tactic has a lot of limitations." NEO also understands this, "But his limitations are based on competing for a championship, do you think we can compete for a championship in our current state?" ”

These words directly silenced Byali.

"So we just use this style of play to push us to a better result!"

"As for his limitations, we don't have to worry so much about it now."

NEO turned his head to look at Xu Beifang again: "Nice, what do you think of yourself?" ”

The first impression that flashed through Xu Beibei's mind was RNG's 4 Bao 1.

He was quite emotional in his heart, but he didn't expect that unconsciously, from the younger brother position in the team - the status in the team - the emperor position in the team.

The abrupt change of core play is a huge game for NEO, because it represents a strong sense of unknownness.

But the current state remains the same, and Xu Beibei has no doubt that they may be eliminated in the qualifiers next.

Xu Beifang thought for a while before he replied solemnly:

"You can always trust me!"
