About three minutes later, the players from both sides sat down again, put on their headphones, and prepared for the second half of the pistol round.
Although they fell behind by seven points in the first half, everyone at Faze was still full of fighting spirit.
There are many factors that contribute to their fighting spirit, but perhaps the most important point is that after ropz joined the Galaxy Battleship, they showed unparalleled resilience in all games.
Time goes back to the 2022iem Katowice station at the beginning of the year.
Facing the unstoppable G2 who had just introduced m0nesy at the time, Faze also fell behind 4-11 on the offensive side on the same map in Purgatory Town. However, Faze, who came to the defensive side, ended up chasing 8 points in a row and entering overtime. And in overtime, they took away g2 4-0 without any blood.
After going through a series of competitions, Faze has indeed proved itself. In addition to winning the Antwerp major, they are also the team closest to the IEM Grand Slam.
If you want to achieve the IEM Grand Slam achievement, Faze must win at least one of the seven events related to IEM in the remaining cycle, including this competition, and subsequent epl s16, major iem rio, etc. of two championship trophies.
Whether they want to win iem Cologne, epl s16 or major iem rio, the vitality that is currently at its peak in the world arena is a topic that all teams cannot avoid.
The eldest cousin knows that now is perhaps the closest Faze has ever been to a Grand Slam.
After the pistol round began in the second half, Faze did not deploy any special tactics, but safely chose the default opening defense.
However, even if the offensive and defensive roles are switched, Qin Feng's marksmanship with a p250 is still sharp.
Two precise headshots from the P250 easily tore apart the defense line formed by Karrigan and Rain in area B.
Looking at the already defenseless area B, Wan Machine shook his head and sighed, "Faze didn't seem to be in very good condition when facing vitality today."
"Both cousin and Yu Shen were not killed, so the three people in Area A were forced to go back to the police house for defense."
"Sure enough, the 60-year-old District B still can't hold on to the 20-year-old breakthrough of God A."
"This is probably what young people do, right?~"
[60-year-old Area B? I wonder if all the people with Faze in District A are 60 years old together (dog head)]
[Hiss, when I was a fan of Faze, I could still have fun with it, but today I can’t do it without being beaten up. 】
[This wave, this wave is when aether has released a shipbreaker, preparing to pierce the galaxy battleship. 】
[Is it a 50-50 split between Faze and whomever we agreed on? The director and ropz got into an argument! 】
Between playing with the machine and lamenting the barrage, the three people who had returned to defense by Faze had arrived in the direction of the police house outside the corridor.
In the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, more than 20,000 pairs of eyes were fixed on the three people returning to defense on the big screen.
If the three policemen, Borky, can complete the defense in desperate situation, then Faze may not have no hope of coming back.
However, in this round, even the most aggressive apex on weekdays hid behind three boxes without leaking, giving Faze no chance to settle down.
From the perspective of the three CTs returning to defense, the entire area B seems to be quiet. Only the flickering red light of C4 and the increasingly rapid "didi" sound by the fountain continue to stir the emotions of everyone present. Heartstrings.
And this silence lasted until the moment when the police director and Broky Qing came to the stage.
"Snapped."
The real number one person in North America - hair director twistzz fired the first shot in the battle.
[zz used usp to kill with a headshot]
Before the demon man in the audience had time to fire his gun, he was taken away by a USP bullet from the director.
The number of people was reduced to 3 versus 4.
But before the fans of Faze could breathe a sigh of relief, the melee in Area B started instantly.
Perhaps vitality's new lineup has not been established for a long time, but the most basic coordination is naturally not comparable to that of the second and third tier teams. The moment the little red dot appeared on the map, all the players pulled out their bunkers at the same time and unleashed a wave of crossfire. .
[vitality.zywoo used p250 to kill faze.broky]
[vitality.dupreeh used usp to kill zz with a headshot]
This wave of gunshots came and went quickly. After only 3 seconds, Faze was the only one left with ropz who was walking into the church.
"Oh, this is the crossfire."
"It's a bit top notch."
"Okay, we've locked ropz's position. How many usp can ropz hit with one shot?"
"Vitality is 4 against 1, and they are actively looking for people. They want to arrest ropz."
"ropz killed one...but there was no follow-up. Aether's follow-up shot made no mistakes."
"12 to 4, if Faze can't win the next spear round, Diagram 1 may be taken away by Vitality with a big score."
In the stadium at Nottingham University, vitality fans fell into a brief carnival.
Behind the faze player bench, coach Robban's eyes were filled with solemnity.
The first picture, Purgatory Town, was faze's own choice. If they were taken away by a big score, the game in the second picture, Hot Sand City, would be even more difficult.
Of course, the most important problem is not that faze performs poorly, but that vitality performs too well.
To be honest, seeing vitality's rapid progress since Qin Feng joined, Robban feels a little numb.
Can a team's honeymoon period last so long?
More importantly, is the sniper named aether really going to replicate Zywoo's miracle when he debuted in vitality?
Looking at the tactics page in his hand, Robban fell into deep thought.
Faze's tactics and layout almost never made any big mistakes, but vitality's marksmanship gave Faze no chance to show off his carefully laid out tactics.
To be more precise, it’s Zywoo and Aether’s marksmanship.
…
"In the beginning, the rain and apex of Banana Road completed the exchange."
"When the smoke bomb dissipated, Broky lit it up with his backhand and started a fire. He thought...oh, he threw a sky fire, and it turned out to be Broky's own prop."
"The vitality on the other side is used to push the aether sniper rifle forward. Broky should have the advantage of setting up the gun after throwing the props."
"Does Broky have an explanation this time?"
"He was sanctioned again!"
"Total dominance!"
"Karrigan, who was closer behind the low wall, wanted to help with his gun, but Zywoo, who was behind him, held him up and took him away."
"Aether locked up his health again!"
"In the endgame of 2 on 4, ropz and twistzz who are still in area a probably have no intention of returning to defense."
…
The hurried voice of the on-site commentary interrupted Robban's contemplation.
He looked up at the picture on the big screen.
vitality 13:4 faze, and faze also lost the possibility of returning to defense in the first long gun round.
Then there is a high probability that faze will lose a picture first.
Robban looked hesitant.
How about asking all five of Karrigan and the others to go to the bathroom and wash their faces first after finishing the first picture?
…
The score came to 14:4.
Vitality not only holds ten advantages, but also has sufficient economic accumulation.
But in Faze's hands, there were only two spears saved from the previous round.
In this case, Faze naturally lost the possibility of making a comeback.
Even if Faze scored a point in the last spear round, it would only slightly extend the length of the game.
After three more rounds, the game finally ended with the fall of ropz.
Accompanied by deafening cheers, vitality took the lead and won the first game with a score of 16:7.
Although the bo5 game is not over yet, the scene at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne seems to have been ignited by the passion of vitality fans.
