1 win and 1 loss is not an unacceptable result for Fnatic.
What's more, their opponent in the second round is Heroic, the strongest team in Group A.
All the players, including the coach, were already prepared to lose to Heroic.
…
On April 18th, the third round of the European Major Group A qualifiers.
Fnatic faced off against the little-known SAW.
The BO1 map comes to Nuke.
Perhaps the shadow left by Heroic yesterday has not dissipated. The sniper poizon signed by Fnatic with a large sum of money perfectly explained what criminal-level performance is.
7-23, single-handedly defeated the entire Fnatic team.
It also brought Fnatic to the brink of elimination.
As for the barrage in the PGL main live broadcast room, there is naturally no shortage of verbal and written criticism of poizon.
【7-23? Whose general is this? 】
[Poizon pays attention to the timing of entering the factory. 】
[God A is 19-11, just like ZwyOo, God of Dungeon War. 】
[Really, God A has to issue a sniper rifle to Poizon when he uses AK. He really... I cried to death. 】
[As long as this poizon misses two shots, it won't be sent so many times. 】
[This ALEX is also a big enemy. Can’t you tell who is the big brother in the team? 】
In the Fnatic training room, coach Samuelsson folded his arms and remained silent, his expression changed from his usual relaxed look.
Originally, he thought that after introducing poizon and Aehter, the team would easily advance to the main draw of the Antpur Major.
but now……
Samuelsson subconsciously looked at Qin Feng, who was sitting in the corner playing BOT.
Even though the team's current record is 1-2, Qin Feng still maintains a terrifying rating of 1.41.
Should we continue to let poizon serve as the team's main sniper, or should we completely disrupt the previous arrangement and make Aether the new core of the team?
In the next game, Fnatic will face Eternal Fire, a new gun team led by Turkish ruthless XANTARES. If poizon is still the same as today...
Thinking of this, Samuelsson gritted his teeth and made up his mind to walk towards the Fnatic players who were training.
"Aether, can you be the main offensive sniper in the team?"
Eh?
When we signed the contract, we agreed that I would be the core shooter in the team?
Poizon blinked blankly.
However, he soon realized that his criminal performance in the past two days had probably made the coach who had been watching the game dissatisfied.
Samuelsson saw poizon's somewhat bitter look, patted his shoulder comfortingly, and said seriously:
"Poizon, actually we still believe in your strength."
"But in these games, your condition is obviously not very good, and you have wasted many opportunities that could have scored points."
"Rather than forcefully picking up the AWP, it's better to use the rifle and adjust your feel."
After listening to Samuelsson's words, Pozion hesitated for a moment, then nodded affirmatively.
Poizon doesn't want to give up the position of his team's main sniper, but what he desires more than the main sniper position is to win the game.
There is no professional player who does not play to win.
Aether, who averaged 1.41 rating in three games, is obviously more capable of playing the core role of the team than himself.
"I see."
In fact, Poizon also felt very sorry for his teammates around him regarding his performance in the first two days.
Many times, games that were clearly winnable were ruined because of his continuous empty shots.
After patting Poizon on the shoulder, Samuelsson focused his attention on Qin Feng and said with a complicated expression:
"Feng, actually since I watched your FPL and Asian Major videos, I have always believed that you have the level to become a first-tier professional."
"But I didn't expect you to realize your talent so quickly."
"The reason why we asked you to play secondary sniper and breakthrough in the previous games is that we have already committed to the main sniper position of Poizon team before, and secondly, we don't want to put too much pressure on you."
“Not everyone is born for the big scene.”
"If you nod, we will directly overturn all the tactics we have laid out before."
"You can fight more freely and have unlimited rights to fire."
"Feng, can you...can do it?"
Qin Feng looked at his teammates and Samuelsson in front of him, and nodded calmly:
"Do not worry."
"As long as I am here, Fnatic will not collapse."
…
April 19th.
19:15 China time.
A certain fish live broadcast platform, live broadcast room number 6657.
"Welcome everyone to watch this game between Fnatic and Eternal Fire. I am the commentary player."
"In Figure 1, Eternal Flame chose DUST2, but Fnatic, who won the duel, chose the offensive side."
"Aether took the P250 given to him by his teammates, and first helped his teammates check the angle of the forward pressure in the middle of the CT."
【6657 UP UP! 】
[I hope the Medicine God will not get sick again. 】
[Did you actually see the pistol round? Ye Qingjie! 】
【Kill Aether! 】
…
In-game.
first round.
After Qin Feng determined that there were no enemies in the middle that were pressing forward, the other Fnatic players would also do their best by default.
Although we didn't capture the big A, we at least ensured that enemies wouldn't suddenly take the back route in a short period of time.
"Let's hit A, I'll seal an Xbox cigarette, and we'll put A in 32." As he said that, ALEX casually threw the smoke bomb in his hand at B1.
Nodding, Qin Feng walked directly from the middle to Small A, and joined ALEX and mezii who jumped onto the box from B1.
KRIMZ and poizon set up guns outside door A, waiting for teammate A to make noise first.
XANTARES, who was guarding the middle lane of CT, did not rush forward after seeing Xbox's smoke grenade. Instead, he cautiously stood on the police box.
Eternal Fire analyzed many of Fnatic's recent videos before the game. XANTARES naturally knew that mezii would most likely help his teammates pick up two P250s.
Even if he has USP in his hand, he doesn't have much advantage when fighting the P250 in the middle.
"There's someone on the road, please be careful."
"They're on Xbox, so there's a good chance they're really getting an A."
However, compared to the caution of XANTARES in the middle, woxic's position in A is much more aggressive.
Woxic directly pressed against the blue box and touched door A.
"Snapped."
[Eternal Fire.woxic used USP to kill Fnatic.KRIMZ with a headshot]
Just as he was about to cooperate with his teammate A to fight against KRIMZ from big A, he was caught by woxic in Gate A.
"Poizon, be careful, he's getting too close." KRIMZ, who was caught searching for some timing, quickly reminded him.
"Yeah." Poizon nodded and immediately stopped trying to enter Gate A. "I have a P250 in my hand and it's hard to reload. Little A, let's go out first. I'll enter Gate A later."
A's mezii didn't hesitate, he just sealed the cigarette and walked towards the bun point with his back turned and bowed, and drew the gun line for ALEX and Qin Feng behind him.
"What advanced flash bombs." Calyx, who was covering the slopes in area A, hit mezii a few times on the body, and was then taken away by Qin Feng's P250 headshot. He rubbed his shoulders helplessly, "A is a small one but a big handicap."
Bag A is out of control, and the police's XANTARES dare not leave the police's house to return to defense:
"Let's clear A and the middle, don't go back to the police's house to defend."
"Woxic, just protect yourself first."
"Yeah." Woxic nodded and ran directly towards the pit.
It's just that poizon, who has been looking for opportunities, obviously won't let him go.
"Snapped."
[Fnatic.poizon killed Eternal Fire.woxic with a headshot using P250]
Poizon finally didn't miss woxic's timing when he ran to Pit A.
What was left for XANTARES and the others was a wave of 3-on-4 defense.
