Appropriate: open the light, accept the color, pray for blessings, ask for children, and win!

Katowice at 4 p.m. local time.

Spectators from all over the world who came to watch the Major in person were ready to take their seats, waiting for the start of the tournament.

At a glance from the camera, the venue is shrouded in blue light, and you can vaguely see various CSGO elements on the offline audience.

For example, on the far left side of the stands, there was a group of people dressed in black and white uniforms, who had bought tickets early and were ready to come over to support the dark samurai in their memories, but they didn't expect G2 to stop again, and they instantly became the most neutral spectators.

Another example is the center of the venue, where a spectator is holding a large 'EZ4ENCE' sign.

On the right side of the stands, the camera sweeps over a group of people with Danish four-pointed stars painted on their faces.

The entire stadium is full of CSGO elements, and under the movement of people, people are very much looking forward to the passionate picture after the official start of the next game.

The blue lights in the stadium became even dimmer, and the huge screen began to count 1 minute and 55 seconds.

Everyone understands that this is the countdown to a round of CSGO, and many viewers will smile when they see this moment.

When the countdown is over, a soft music slowly wakes up everyone's emotions.

The voice of the English stream commentary appeared in everyone's ears.

"In the past 20 years, CS has become the representative of esports games, and CSGO is a game that brings together too many players, such as Olaf, Kobold, NBK, kennyS, FalleN, device, AdreN, stewie2K, ......"

"All the players have been transformed from the most basic player status, and the players and fans have made CSGO esports grow to this point, and this is a major for everyone."

As a community-based game, the CS game itself is based on the creativity of Half-Life players.

After that, the various events in the early days were slowly built up with the enthusiasm of the players.

"Let's welcome IEM Katowice's Major Champion Trophy Representative, a legend in the CS world who has won the championship here, and today we are once again on a familiar stage, let us say our friend with the warmest applause! pashaBiceps！ ”

Listening to the sound of the announcement coming from the stadium, Pasha smiled and bumped fists with Xu Beibei, and then he began to walk towards the center of the stadium with the trophy of Katowice's Major in a simple manner.

He walked very steadily under the blue light, listening to the cheers and shouts of the audience, his professional experience over the years flashed back in his mind, with the spirit of winning the cup in Katowice in the early stage, the spirit of winning the world in the middle stage, the suffering of problems in the team in the later stage, and the satisfaction of the last dance in the later stage.

He held the trophy that had engraved his ID aloft, enjoying the last pleasures.

He wanted to calm himself on stage for the last time, but he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Place the trophy on the trophy stand and the fireworks next to it erupt to shine on the trophy.

(IEM Katowice has always had an ID on it, which is why Katowice has always been an extremely important event in the CSGO world, even if it wasn't from the Mjaor era, it is still the most important tournament outside of the Major.) ）

For a moment, Pasha had the idea of not fighting for a few more years.

But it was only a momentary thought, and in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.

He put down the trophy and began to return to the runner's tunnel, but finally couldn't help it and turned his head to look back.

……

He just stood there, looking at him with affectionate eyes, full of the marks of his youth. Playing with the machine and watching this scene, I also have mixed feelings.

He's an early adopter, and when he first started playing CSGO, pasha was still a very good young player.

"The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and the face is a flowery tree." "He worked hard to keep fit, hoping to extend the peak of his career, but after all, time was pressing." ”

"Now only Nice, his best disciple, can continue to walk on the professional stage with his expectations."

At this moment, the voice of the English streaming host came from the live broadcast screen.

"The trophy for the Major has been handed away, and the remaining eight teams in the championship group are the strongest CSGO teams from all over the world, and for the first time today, Vitality will face Faze."

"Let's just have Faze Clan!"

A group of big guys began to walk out from behind the huge screen in the scene, causing a burst of cheers from the audience.

After the members of the Faze clan took their seats, the host's passionate voice rang out again.

"Next, let's have Vi~tality!!"

In the passionate music, Xu Beifang raised his hands high, don't get me wrong, he didn't want to do a French military salute, he just clapped his hands and simply interacted with the audience.

All the way to the battle room, under the peacock blue night, he could see the expectant faces of the audience in a trance.

“Let’s go Vitality！！”

“Let’s go Vitality！！”

The shouts of a spectator came from the left side of the stands, setting the immersive stadium on fire.

“Faze up！”

“Faze up！”

Faze's fans also showed no weakness and also began to shout passionately.

At this time, an astonishing voice suddenly sounded in the corner: "Let's go G2!" ”

The sound waves that had been colliding each other stopped instantly, and then there was a burst of laughter on the field.

Even in early spring, Xu Beifang still felt that the temperature in the stadium was rising, and the audience's eyes seemed to be invisible tentacles brushing their faces, and the violent sound made the soles of their feet tremble slightly, and spread along the legs to the whole body little by little, making people feel numb.

The roots of Xu Beibei's teeth were itching, and there was even a slight floating feeling under his feet.

"What's wrong?" RPK noticed Xu Beibei's situation and took the initiative to ask, he was a little worried that Xu Beibei would have a big game syndrome, and when the time came, he would be a little too suffocated because of stage fright and abnormal performance.

"You can adjust your breathing, and if you're still nervous, just focus on the screen."

Xu Beifang saw his worry and said, "It's not that I'm nervous, it's that I'm excited and burning!" ”

Looking at the wanton smile on his face, PRK was also infected, as if returning to the days when he was young and frivolous.

"The twelve members standing on the field are one of the best teams in the world, but Katowice has only one trophy, but only one can advance to the next stage of the competition!"

The moderator pointed the subject to the left side of the venue: "It's Faze?!! ”

He turned the microphone to the right again: "Or Vitality?!" ”

"Let's wait and see!!"

The bee battle room.

"Guys, I'm feeling excited, what if I want to go over and punch NIKO twice?" Xu Beifang said with a smile.

apEX laughed, "If you run over and punch NIKO two times now, the rest of us will have to escape from the stadium in advance, or you can call Pasha over." ”

Pasha's physique, one should be fine with two.

But let the little bees and the gang of Kalami and Faze offline live PK, it may only be beaten.

After all, Faze is a fitness man.

apEX is also very excited today, and there was no offline audience before, which actually made him very sad.

After all, as an older generation of players, he used to be nicknamed 'Mad Dog Breaker', and the important thing is Mad Dog, not Breaker.

Only when you enter the offline competition will apEX ignite the passion.

XTQZZZ clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"After a few months of hard work, we have made it straight to the quarter-finals of the Major, and now every step we take is expanding our team history, and we have prepared a lot of things before the game, so we don't need to worry, we just need to play according to the tactics we have studied."

"Beat everything we envisioned, let's enjoy this moment, enjoy the cheers of nearly 10,000 people, and let them shout Vitali's name loudly!"

"Come on guys, let's get Faze to pieces!!" The usually gentle bald head has used a somewhat special way to motivate them today.

With this mood and atmosphere of the scene, it is particularly useful!

"Come on, come on, come on!!"

After shouting in the room, they each went to their respective positions and began to warm up with the bot.

has always disliked the load of practicing guns, and today he is also quickly fighting to the death and pulling up his state.

……

The comparison data of Little Bee and Faze appeared in the live broadcast screen, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also expressing their opinions.

[How can the little bee have so many more heads than Faze!] 】

[Xiao Xu and Zaiwu are still ruthless, and the average injuries in the rounds are above 80]

[Faze's side is Olaf's head is not positive, and it feels dangerous!] 】

【……】

Looking at the swiping screen of the barrage in the live broadcast room, the machine explained: "The number of kills of the little bees is because they have killed all the way up from the challenger group and played more games. ”

"But from the above, Nice is indeed getting better and better, with an average injury of 87.2, 1 point higher than NIKO on the opposite side, and this side is also close behind, and he also got 85.3 injuries, so it can only be said that both of them are quite terrifying."

As for Faze's personal ability, the machine has long known in his heart.

Faze has a large number of star players and generally has strong individual abilities, but they only have outstanding killing ability, and sometimes kills and victories cannot be equaled, and their statistics are still a little inflated.

Playing with the machine, I also understand that the audience's worries are unreasonable.

The recent state of apEX of the little bees is quite impressive, but the performance of the two veterans has always been a point of criticism.

"Okay, the data can only show one of the previous states, the overall data of the little bees is not good, but the 3-0 entry into the championship group has already explained some problems, even if there are two old men who are not in good shape, but they also have two Tongtian generations there."

"So the game of this game has to see how the BP goes."

"Faze's Ban map right, they just removed the train, even if there are snipers like Gua Huang in the team, they are not good at this map."

When they came to the forbidden picture of Little Bee, they directly removed the forklift.

Aside from the train, this map is their pain point, something that must never be put out.

"When it came to the first choice between the two sides, Faze's side directly won Purgatory Town as the first picture."

"After thinking about it, the little bee chose the nuclear crisis???"

This map BP is still a surprise to the playing machine.

The recent nuclear crisis of the little bees was still in the challenger group against the Black Panthers, and they were also narrowly taken down at that time, and they didn't see how strong they were.

"Nuclear crisis??" NIKO was a bit surprised by the result.

"I feel like I've been hidden by the little bee!" The rain god smiled beside him, "I really didn't expect this nuclear crisis to be elected suddenly. ”

What is changing the map pool for CSGO first-line professions?

Many of them are following the strongest teams in the current version.

Because if you have a winning general on the first line, they will be playing against other teams frequently in their map pool.

These teams who want to improve have to go crazy to study their game footage and how to target them.

In today's arena, most of the selected pictures are still the old three, and the only ones that are more frequent are trains.

Faze had studied the map pool of the little bees, and although their nuclear crisis was not very strong, they didn't pay attention to the fact that the little bees were just like that after watching the game footage.

I thought that today's game map would still be produced in the old three, but it turned out that it was overshadowed, and the pressure was a bit great.

Coming to the second ban of the little bee, after thinking about it, they banned the second sand.

Leave the amusement park and maze for Faze to choose from.

Although Faze has Olaf, the star player of the amusement park sticker, their amusement park is not good at it, and they choose to ban the amusement park and leave a desert maze behind.

This concludes the BP session.

Photo 1: Purgatory Town

Figure 2: Nuclear crisis

Figure 3: Desert Maze

In the cheers of the audience, the two sides began to enter the server in Figure 1 and began the warm-up session.

As soon as Xu Beifang entered the town, he saw NIKO applying for interaction on the public screen.

NIKO: There are so many brothers, I'm so scared......

Nice: I want to slap your buttocks hard

rain：！！

I chatted with each other for a few words, but the last person didn't enter the game for a long time.

apEX asked on the public screen, "What's wrong with the melon points?" ”

NIKO: There's a problem with the equipment, and sure enough, it's a CSGO game!

Xu Beifang saw that the melon emperor would not be able to enter for a while, so he glanced at NIKO in front of him with disgust, and then looked at his jewelry on the homepage.

He thought for a moment and replaced it with a red thread that he hadn't used for a long time, with the gold stickers of his four former teammates on it.

The boxes in my backpack are not small, and I have occasionally opened the box in the previous live broadcast, and now there are a lot of keys in the account.

Xu Beifang suddenly recalled the aura that he had opened yesterday - 'Liuzhou Shaman's Luck'.

[Do you use a consumable aura - 'Liuzhou Shaman's Luck'?] 】

"Yes!"

After the aura was opened, Xu Beifang began to keep opening the boxes in his warehouse.

Because of the problem of the equipment on Guahuang's side, everyone in the live broadcast room was a little resentful, and noticed Xu Beibei's movements, and the director of the scene also wittily gave the camera to Xu Beibei's side, and came to see the process of his unboxing to let the audience pass the time.

The fun people in the live broadcast room are also very happy to see this process, and they are all playing in the barrage.

【Blue Sky and White Clouds】

[MP9, just fitting the name of the little bee, no loss! ] 】

[Bison has a lot of bullets, can run and fight, and earn blood!] 】

[Bird sniper, this can open the scope without loss! ] 】

Xu Beibei's actions naturally attracted the attention of Faze's people.

NIKO DIRECTLY JOKED ON THE PUBLIC SCREEN: "THE BOSS IS CONFUSED, DON'T GIVE MONEY TO G FAT!" ”

Xu Beifang is also a little strange, he has been open for a long time, but it has always been a blue sky and white clouds, and he doubts whether his consumable aura is real or fake.

Could it be that the investment is too small?

Then he saw a 'Counter-Strike Weapon Case' on the right, and gritted his teeth to open it.

If you are a man, you have to be cruel to yourself!

This box is more than a hundred, although he has now achieved financial independence, but there will still be some pain.

Xu Beifang metaphysically turned the weapon box left and right, and then watched the unpacking screen appear.

The audience at the scene also knew the price of this box, and they were all coaxing.

When the red color passed, many people were laughing.

Objects keep appearing in view, and their speed slows down.

At this moment, the audience was shocked to find that a purple-pink color appeared in the field of vision, which meant that it was a classified item!

“Woooo……”

The audience's anticipation gradually expanded, and the moment the 'AK47-Surface Quenching' stayed on the pointer, the audience erupted into the most violent sound!

“OHHHHHHHHH！！！！！！”

Everyone was stupid and excitedly vented their emotions at this moment.

【Dog Hold!!】 】

【WDNMD！！ 】

[This scene is too hilarious, isn't it]

[Box: The atmosphere is here, and it won't work if you don't come out again]

[Report!] This special Major live withdrawal】

[Katowice Thrilling Air Defense Alert haha]

[This atmosphere is also too good]

[G fat ecstasy, I don't know how many people will be stimulated to open the box in this wave]

Faze clan, who was on the other side of the stage, suddenly heard the shouts of the audience and thought something had happened.

But glanced down at the screen.

Nice got it from the 'Counter-Strike Weapon Case': 'AK47 - Case Quenched'

NIKO：？？？

He looked at the big rain god on the side, and the two looked at each other, both of them a little stupid.

How can this drive an AK47?

There are no gold items in the Counter-Strike weapon box, the best one is a red quality 'AWP-Lightning Strike', but at the moment in the quarterfinals of the Major, it is already an exaggeration to be able to open this thing!

The big gold tooth typed on the public screen and asked: What template?

He also likes to play with accessories, and he knows that there is something special about the AK47-Surface Quenching skin.

Because of the problem of the template, his price can be as high as around 200,000.

Xu Beifang heard the big golden tooth's inquiry, and also moved the mouse over.

【Generous Crab!! 】

【661！！！ 】

[Beibei Ling is really damned! 】

[I admit that my eyes are red, this special G fat has changed the explosion rate in the background! ] 】

[Did he snatch Xiaobo's little goldfish! ] This is too perverted.]

[From Pasha's inheritance, he was also a man who opened gold in offline competitions]

[Sure enough, the people who came out of VP are different, what a pervert! ] 】

Faze had just finished asking when he heard a cheer from the scene and felt that something was not right.

Then I saw a message on the public screen.

Nice：661！

AK47 - Case quenched, 661 is the top stencil again.

Last year, in foreign countries, there was a four-even holographic Titan that was sold for about 30,000 US dollars.

Nice's one, even if there is no four-in-a-row holographic titan, there is no problem in selling it for 15,000 US dollars.

It means that before the final starts, Nice has already won a prize money for an A-level event.

Faze everyone looked at each other, how did they feel like they had already lost before the game even started?

NIKO: YOU'RE DAMN DAMN!

……

And today and again! Have a meal and continue to code!
