August 19th.
Copenhagen, Denmark.
While Qin Feng was still eating hot pot and singing songs in China, the prelude to the blast autumn competition had quietly begun.
Among the twelve teams, the top six can qualify for the blast autumn finals.
The bottom six will then fall into the showdowner fire to compete for the only spot to enter the autumn finals.
Snax, who has just joined the team, is under a lot of pressure.
Unlike Magisk and Dupreeh who just returned home, the Polish veteran who replaced Qin Feng actually felt a bit of pressure.
At the age of 28, it can be said that he has reached the end of his career.
If you can't seize this last opportunity to shine in the first-line arena, I'm afraid I can only retire secretly with regrets like many csgo veterans.
】
But if he performs well, maybe he can be selected by a first-line team like jks, so that he can use his last remaining energy at the end of his career.
…
At 12:40 noon, under the guidance of the staff, the members of og and vitality left the hotel with their own equipment and came to the offline studio in Copenhagen.
In terms of maps, OG banned Nuclear Crisis, Scorching Sand City, and Death Mansion.
Little Bee banned ancient ruins, purgatory town and lost desert city.
The last remaining map is Death Park Overpass.
The reason why apex chose to keep Overpass in BP is also very simple. Overpass only requires one sniper, which can completely allow Zywoo to take over Qin Feng's position, and Snax can take on the responsibilities that Zywoo once had.
Zywoo's sniper rifle is not inferior to Qin Feng.
snax may be worse than zywoo, but it will not have a big impact on the team as a whole.
At least that's what apex thinks.
Of course, the only worry may be the state of everyone.
After two consecutive championships, the players have become more or less slack.
Demon Man and Adu even returned to Denmark early to reward themselves with a long vacation.
On the other hand, OG joined by Paipaixiong Degster is full of fighting spirit.
The game starts promptly at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Those viewers who were vaguely worried about vitality finally felt relieved after watching the first pistol round.
Relying on accurate USP headshots, the Danish duo completed a beautiful double five-kill.
It seems to be in good condition.
The next ten minutes of the game further strengthened the audience's suspicions.
Even if Qin Feng is not around, relying on Zywoo alone, vitality still has the potential to be among the top players in the world.
The offensive team's OG looked a little confused and couldn't find a gap in the Bees' defense at all.
6:0
7:0
…
11:0
12:0
In the live broadcast room playing with machines,
Those Little Bee fans who were anxious because Qin Feng was resting finally felt relieved looking at the 12-point score difference in the first half.
【12 to 0? Let me tell you the number, 16 to 0! 】
[Just came in, 12 to 0? God is not here? Is this still the little bee I was familiar with? 】
[Doudou finally stood up! vitality up up! 】
[snax: God A, don’t worry about the team. 】
[Apex’s forward pressure, I think this is a kind of confidence. You always say that apex forward pressure is for free. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. This is because people don't understand vitality and make rash conclusions. As for the current question, whether vitality is a medium win, a big win, or a huge win. 】
【vitality! I am crazy about him in this life! 】
There were even fans of Little Bee, who helped Vitality P prepare a picture to celebrate the victory in advance in the competition area between OG and Vitality.
With a score of 12-0, in the map of Death Park, it seems that no team has ever made a comeback in an offline competition.
apex has taken off, as if its strength has gone back seven years, back to 2015 when it was fighting side by side with happy and kennys.
But perhaps because of some slackness, Magisk and Duopreeh in the team also followed Dou Dou and pressed forward.
With this pressure, the waiting degster finally seized the opportunity. After sniping away Apex and Demon Man who were pressing forward, he led his teammates into Vitality's B area bag.
However, in the eyes of most people, this is just OG's death struggle.
At the end of the first half, the score on the field was 13 to 2.
But in the second half, vitality quickly fell into a quagmire.
When the team attacks, Magisk is often the first to go. It turns out that even if he doesn't kill, he can still open the line of fire for Zywoo and Aether.
However, without the firepower of aether, vitality's ability to replenish guns has dropped by a level visibly to the naked eye.
This also makes vitality's offense difficult.
At the same time, there is another extremely fatal thing.
That is on-the-spot decision-making and command.
It turns out that when Qin Feng was here, apex was often responsible for overall command, while Qin Feng provided his own opinions at the endgame.
snax replaced Qin Feng, and only apex could make decisions in the endgame, but apex seemed to be unable to reach Qin Feng's level in handling the endgame.
This also leads to the fact that either vitality cannot enter the package point, or vitality is at a disadvantage after entering the endgame of installing packages.
Even though zywoo's shocking 1v3 results restored morale, vitality still struggled to score the game-killing point.
The score was chased by og all the way to 15-15.
"It's okay, just relax."
"Even if it goes to overtime, we won't necessarily lose."
"Our snipers are still much stronger than those on the other side."
"The main reason is that Nexa made too many correct bets, otherwise we wouldn't have been so difficult to beat."
Before overtime, zonic was still trying to comfort the players.
However, it is obvious that the Little Bee players who were continuously chasing points were greatly affected, both in terms of gun feel and mentality.
snax was a little confused.
We agreed to hug Zywoo's thigh, but why is it so difficult to even burp?
His statistics are quite satisfactory, and there are no criminal signs overall.
But even so, vitality's offense was still difficult to overcome OG's steel-like defense.
The game was dragged into overtime, and apex knew that someone must step up at this moment.
He patted Zywoo on the shoulder and gave Shushu a meaningful look.
But……
Even if Shushu really performed well and took the lead in killing two people, vitality once again lost the five-on-three game.
The score came to 15 to 16.
Zywoo let out a long sigh.
Is snax wrong?
correct.
If there is really a mistake, the fault lies in that he is not aether.
The "endless joy" ends here, replaced by the gloom of the Bastille.
In the end, og relied on the strong performance of Pat Bear Degster and several waves of accurate betting points from nexa, and struggled to defeat vitality, currently ranked number one in the world, with a score of 19 to 17.
However, more painful than the Vitality players may be the Vitality fans who watched the entire game.
After all, in a sense, vitality has made history in reverse.
The score is 12-0. In previous offline competitions, there has never been a precedent for such a score comeback in the amusement park.
13 to 2, 14 to 4, 15 to 7, 15 to 15, this kind of score can only be achieved by the previous G2.
…
[rnm, refund your money! 】
【Too disappointed! Are you worthy of us? 】
[Can’t lose 12-0? Wouldn't this give them a little vitality shock? 】
[Brothers, I’d better stop watching the vitality game before God A comes back, right? I'm really going to have cerebral congestion! 】
[I think I can win if I change my command. If I rush in the 15th round, I should be able to get three points, right? 】
【vitality? I am crazy about him in this life! I am crazy about him for the rest of my life! 】
[zonic: Apex is a team leader. Compared to a leader like Electronic Brother who relies on personal ability, he is more willing to leave the opportunity to kill to his teammates. 】
[zywoo: aether, the team is in danger, come back quickly! 】
Anyone can realize that without Qin Feng, this vitality has completely lost its former edge.
Group stage, double-elimination, long format, aether's absence, long vacations... fans of Little Bee naturally know the various problems faced by vitality.
They can accept failure, but what they cannot accept is that vitality should fail in such an abstract way.
…
At the same time, the game between nip and astralis next door also ended at the same time.
Relying on the wonderful performance of √9 and Shenrez, Ninja in Pajamas killed the game without bloodshed.
Just after watching the vitality game, I cut to the "First 3 Black" playing machine on the blast sub-stage and gritted my teeth looking at the data of es3tag 27-8.
"Congratulations nip, congratulations p... congratulations to the third master."
"Then in the next game, vitality, which fell into the loser group of the group stage, will face astralis in the next round."
"The winners of the two teams will advance to the lower bracket finals of the group stage, while the losers will start from the lower bracket of the knockout stage."
"..."
An hour later, the player watched the game between vitality and astralis on the machine, and humorously explained the game in front of the audience.
Since the end of fnatic's dynasty, he admits that he is no longer a fan of any csgo team.
It is precisely because of this mentality that he can explain every game with an objective view and become an excellent commentator.
The score on the court has reached 17 to 18, leaving farlig with a one-on-one game with dupreeh.
"In the one-on-one endgame, the mine bag is about to explode. Farlig can only touch the bag bit by bit."
"Did you see it? I saw Adu!"
"The enemy is in the clear and I am in the clear. It depends on the marksmanship."
"What? Brother Fa Li defeated Adu with his USP!"
"I have pliers on me, so I have enough time to unpack it!"
"The only real god in this game - Brother Fali. He was so accurate in this game, the ultimate self-salvation!"
"Who said he couldn't win by killing Team A?"
"Congratulations to team A, too, for defeating vitality with a score of 19 to 17 and advancing to the lower bracket finals of the group stage."
"..."
In the two games, snax was under great pressure.
Playing as a substitute for Qin Feng, he performed quite well and did not seem to show any ability to end the game.
I can’t say it’s bad, but I definitely can’t say it’s good either.
Zywoo is used to this feeling.
Anyway, before Qin Feng joined vitality, the team was always like this.
After years of hard work, do you still care about two months?
The only one with a solemn expression was Apex.
He suddenly felt that the pre-planned tactics were not easy to use.
What was the original strategy?
Hit a, Qin Feng snipers the gun control map, breaks the point, and explodes a wave of bombs.
When hitting B, Qin Feng snipers the gun control map, breaks the point, and explodes a wave of bombs.
Hitting the middle, Qin Feng sniped the gun control map.
It feels quite simple to implement.
What now?
Without Qin Feng's firepower, Zywoo is alone and vitality is struggling.
It seems that some special tactics will be deployed.
"In a small town, five people fly to the second floor."
"Sha Er's attack slows down, let's make a one-and-a-half-minute acquiescence first."
"Snipe Zywoo, let Zywoo break the point."
"..."
Apex slowly wrote down the tactics he had reworked in his mind in his tactics book.
…
