CSGO professional player

Chapter 288 Comfort zone?

Regarding the result of losing the game, Wang Che didn't feel any frustration.

Because Navi's performance in this game is indeed better and stronger than Heroic.

It is also reasonable to win.

In the two maps, Wang Che won 57 kills, with a Rating of 1.45, 2 kills ahead of No.20 TeSeS.

Plus the aces played, and other quadruple and triple kills.

This kind of performance, in the eyes of others, is like a savior.

There were even people discussing at the director's station: "Clear, one person dragged Heroic and Navi to play two pictures."

"Without him, for Navi, this would be one-sided bloody abuse."

"And the biggest trouble Heroic caused Navi was Clear."

But Wang Che turned a blind eye to these.

In his eyes, only s1mple has 62 kills and a Rating of 1.61.

This is the real Superman.

"Is it really because he is too strong? Or where can he do better?"

From leaving the player's seat, to getting in the car and leaving the game scene, until returning to the hotel.

Wang Che was thinking about this question in his mind.

He admitted that his play was really good, but could be better.

But how to do better, he still can't find the answer to this question.

Sight, shoot, headshot, divert, headshot again, then step back and look for other opportunities.

These actions didn't require him to spend many brain cells, just muscle memory could allow him to complete all of them.

In his eyes, fighting an opponent is such a simple matter.

A long time ago, Wang Che kept winning like this.

However, in the few rounds after the start of the match with Navi, Wang Che had an inexplicable feeling.

Or intuition.

"If you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to win against Navi."

I don't understand why I have this intuition, but after the idea was formed in my mind, it has been lingering.

The final result also proved that his intuition was correct.

Navi 2:0 Heroic, it can be said to be a complete victory.

……

On HLTV and Huaguo's largest CSGO community, on the forum of the Perfect E-sports APP, there are constantly posts about Heroic being defeated by Navi.

"Does Heroic's defeat mean that the Great Demon King will step down from the altar?"

"Is the Navi dynasty coming?"

"Sniper VS Rifleman, the current CSGO version answer is still AWP."

"Relying on Clear's performance, Heroic was lucky enough to win several championships, but in the end, they were still sanctioned by Navi... Even if Clear's record is comparable to s1mple."

"That's exactly what happened."

"..."

Many players also expressed pessimism.

"Once the undefeated golden body is broken, the next step is to break the Dao heart, and lose all the way."

"I hope Heroic can maintain his mentality and put the burden of Top1 aside."

"I suddenly had an idea, after Clear's contract with Heroic expires, how about switching to Little Bee or G2?"

"It's not necessary at all. Clear and Heroic are also willing to give him resources. The problem is that his teammates can support him a little more so that he doesn't have to work so hard. Everything will be fine."

"Young Master Ni: There is one private seat on the second floor, let us welcome new inmates."

"I just wish Clear could whip the bananas for me."

"Liquid is just a flash in the pan. Banana couldn't even get a rating of 1 in the first few games, it was all due to the chicken sloth."

……

After the game of the winner's group is over, the group B will continue with the loser's group.

Faze, who had a bad start in this IEM Cologne event, showed great resilience after entering the loser group.

First, they defeated Little Bee 2:0 in the second round of the loser's bracket.

Then they took away Astralis with a score of 2:1 and became the last team to advance to the knockout round.

So far, the six teams that have advanced to the knockout round have all been determined.

The grouping of the knockout round was also announced immediately.

The second in Group A plays the first in the knockout round of Group B, and the second in Group B plays the first in the knockout round of Group A.

After that, the winners will face G2 and Navi respectively, and then it will be the final.

It seems to be considering that the intensity of the group stage competition is too high.

The knockout rounds will not start until the 16th.

A full five days of rest is enough for all teams to make all preparations.

Heroic's teammates in the first game of the knockout round have also been determined.

Liquid.

In the middle of the night, cadiaN and his teammates watched all of Liquid's demos in this competition, and said softly.

"Grim and NAF are both in good condition, and FalleN can withstand critical moments. He is 30 years old, and he can still play. He is indeed an evergreen tree in CSGO."

"Twistzz, one of the tridents, went out to find another way out, which made them sink for a long time, but this time they fought hard in Cologne." Xizt nodded aside. "I heard that before this, their training time was ridiculous."

"Grim can also play occasionally, but this person is so unpredictable that he is a little unpredictable."

"It doesn't matter if he is a god or a ghost, whoever stands in front of us will tell him to go back and forth from wherever."

"Being able to step on BIG and NIP all the way out of the loser's bracket can explain their hard work in a certain way." Wang Che joked with a smile on the side. "The liquid is no longer horse body this time."

The origin of the horse body is very simple, it is derived from Team Liquid's horse head logo.

When the players in the team use the horse gun, the liquid will be automatically ridiculed by the players as a horse body.

And several players in the team often seamlessly switch back and forth between humans and horses.

"After all, the No. [-] brother in North America still has his background."

cadiaN's expression suddenly became serious.

"But guys, this time we won't have a second chance."

"Losing to Navi is like giving everyone a vacation. I won't talk about who is responsible for the replay later. I will only discuss the facts. Wrong is wrong, right is right."

"Everyone can actively discuss the issues pointed out, but they must be remembered."

"All of this is for the sake of winning the next game."

"Originally, I planned to take a day off, so that Clear, sjuush, who have never been to Cologne, have time to stroll around the local area."

"But now there is no vacation, and I will ask Felicity to push away as much as possible for the interview."

"We have only three games left in the knockout rounds, the semi-finals, the finals."

"Take them all, and then enjoy the carnival."

"I don't need to say more about the gold content of Cologne's championship. I believe you can understand it yourself."

"Getting a championship here will engrave your names in the history of CSGO."

"You have to seize the opportunity."

"Ah."

Everyone's expressions were extremely dignified, and they nodded seriously.

In the next few days, everyone in Heroic started endless training and review.

The previous game was so smooth that they often ignored the low-level mistakes of their own players.

But losing to Navi not only made them realize where their own strength lies, but also made them understand that other teams are also trying to catch up with them.

If you keep standing still, there will always be a day when you will be caught up.

Xizt and Robl's main task is to help find bugs, while cadiaN and everyone discuss how to solve the problem.

When everything is planned, it is time to go to other floors of the hotel and find teams to play scrims.

This is very convenient.

Because Heroic is in the upper half of the knockout round, Faze, Red Star, and even Navi in ​​the lower half will not be able to meet before the final, and they are all very happy to be Heroic's opponent.

And it's the kind that's on call.

After getting up and eating in the morning, everyone immediately began to warm up, read the tactics book, and then had a morning exercise with the agreed team.

After the BO3 is over, continue to review the game, perfect the tactics, and then continue to play the training game.

Repeatedly, several times a day.

After it's over, everyone goes to bed right away.

But no one found it hard.

Because everyone wants to win the championship, and for the championship, all the hard work is worth it.

For Wang Che, cadiaN and Xizt showed extra tolerance and preferential treatment.

"Clear, where do you want to go in this attack?"

"Clear, do you have any ideas on offensive tactics, how do you need other people to cooperate with you?"

……

Questions like this often arise in speech.

None of stavn, TeSeS, sjuush found this a problem.

Because he deserves it.

But Wang Che himself always felt that this was a bit awkward.

Even if he is clear, cadiaN is giving him a certain command right in order to make him play more comfortably in the team.

When he really opened his mouth to make an attack plan, his teammates also took the initiative to cooperate with him.

The effect is not as good as Heroic's original offensive tactics.

Soon, cadiaN no longer wanted to be difficult, and continued to take over all command rights.

In the training match against Red Star, the winners and losers are basically evenly divided, while against Faze, the wins and losses are more or less the same.

In the training match with Navi, you lose more than you win.

Moreover, every training match with Navi, Wang Che's heart still keeps wandering that confusing illusion.

"If you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to win the championship."

This idea is like a seed, taking root and sprouting in Wang Che's heart.

So much so that it can affect him in the training game.

But even if troubled by this kind of problem, Wang Che can still play at a super level. After all, he has his teammates to pull him off, and his marksmanship is also there.

But he himself is very clear that it really won't work if it goes on like this.

The past few days have been training day and night, and Felicity also wisely didn't bother him.

On the afternoon before the knockout round, cadiaN finally announced that everyone would rest for half a day and adjust to the next day's knockout round.

In order for Wang Che to adjust his state and relax.

Felicity thoughtfully didn't take him shopping.

Instead, I found a movie theater and watched two movies, and then walked all the way back to the hotel.

At night, lying on the bed tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, Wang Che finally couldn't bear it anymore and called cadiaN on his own initiative.

When I came to the small bar on the top floor of the hotel, under the surprised eyes of the waiter, I ordered a glass of juice...

Two men, late at night, calm down, order some juice, the elements are full.

After Wang Che finished explaining his confusion, cadiaN was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "From your point of view, it seems like you have a demon?"

Wang Che shook his head: "It's not a demon. When I confronted them, apart from being confronted by s1mple, did I lose a lot?"

"So you think there is something wrong with the Heroic team?"

"Hmm..." Wang Che was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect cadiaN to think of such a level, and quickly explained. "No, no, that's not what I meant."

"Well, it's hard to say. It feels like something is wrong with me, but I can't find the problem. I took the initiative to ask you to come out. I also want you to help me find out what I did wrong during training and competitions. Good, or not good enough."

cadiaN smiled lightly. He naturally understood that Wang Che was not someone who disliked his teammates, but he couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it.

So I made a phone call and wanted to call Xizt to discuss together.

But maybe because it was late, the extremely self-disciplined Xizt had already turned off his phone and went to sleep, and there was only a "beep beep" reminder sound from the phone.

No way, cadiaN dialed another person's phone.

"Come here, here is a question I want to ask you."

"What? There are others in your place?"

"Then let's come together, it's not that we don't know who it is."

"Come on, the lounge on the top floor bar is waiting for you."

With doubts, Wang Che waited patiently for less than 10 minutes before seeing a familiar figure appear in front of him.

Big cousin karrigan, and Twistzz is with him.

Twistzz, a nicknamed hairstyle director, has a flowing and changeable hairstyle and a high headshot rate on the field, which is his trademark.

This player, who is familiar to players all over the world, naturally does not need too much introduction.

With two more glasses of juice, Karrigan squeezed into the sofa and sat down next to cadiaN.

"Hello, Clear, I didn't expect you to be here." Karrigan laughed heartily. "Long time no see, I miss you so much."

"Miss it? Didn't we play the training match together this morning?" Wang Che, who is familiar with the big cousin's personality, also joked.

"Hahaha, that was one afternoon, it was long enough." Karrigan then raised his head and said. "So, what questions do you guys have for me? Is it about liquids? You might as well ask Twistzz, those are his ex-teammates."

In the arena, his marksmanship swept all sentient beings, and he only had heads in his eyes, but in reality, Twistzz is also a somewhat shy young man, and his voice is even a little soft: "I may not be able to tell if it is too specific, but I still give some suggestions."

After all, it is the old club, some things cannot be said so thoroughly.

cadiaN quickly waved his hand: "No, we have already formulated the tactics for dealing with liquids."

Then he pointed to Wang Che: "It's about him. Twistzz, you have a lot of experience as a star player, so you can give him advice."

The CSGO professional players have a good relationship with each other, and they basically don't know each other. There is rarely any deep hatred.

Although there are winners and losers in the game, you can be friends after the game.

With very few exceptions.

So Wang Che was straightforward and expressed all his confusion.

Unexpectedly, Twistzz's face was full of emotion after listening to it.

"I understand your distress, Clear."

"When I was still in Liquid, after I won the Grand Slam, I sank for a long time, and was even forced to switch to support."

"Although the team has been encouraging me and believing that I can regain my form, I know that as long as I stay in liquid for one day, my form will not recover."

"Then I came to Faze, and the status and results are obvious to all. This is all because of Rain, karrigan, RobbaN, and Olaf. They gave me a lot of great advice."

"I'm not saying that you need to change teams or environments, but that you need to get out of your comfort zone."

"Comfort zone?" Wang Che was taken aback.

cadiaN's face also changed a bit: "But his current grades and status are already very good, do he need to take the initiative to seek changes?"

"He can be better." Karrigan said confidently, taking a sip of the juice. "cadiaN, he's been by your side for so long, maybe even you can't see how good he is."

"Organize tactics around him, give him resources, make him the core of Heroic."

"You did everything right. Clear also did a great job. He adapted perfectly to this role and achieved an amazing record."

"But he can be stronger."

"Heroic can also be stronger."

"But there must be a premise, cadiaN, you must jump out of Heroic's comfort zone, you all rely too much on Clear, and Clear always makes his play more stable because of your expectations."

"I've watched his demos in FPL and when he joined Heroic as a free agent. At that time, although he was more like a kid who just entered the game, his playing was more agile and attractive."

"He is a rifleman, so he can't use the style of a sniper. The elegance that belongs to a rifleman is firmly restrained by you."

"We watched the match against Navi. Clear played as usual. Even Twistzz and Ropz were full of praise. The amazing ACE and the endgame 1V3 were amazing."

"But you lost in the end, not only because s1mple played better."

"It's the Navi team that played better."

"So I said, this comfort zone is not only for Clear, but also for the entire Heroic team."

Having said that, Karrigan smiled mysteriously and made another summary.

"Heroic, and even the biggest opponent of all CSGO teams, is actually himself."

"Everyone understands the four words of breaking through oneself, but few people can do it."

At this time, Wang Che's heart was shocked. The words of the eldest cousin brought him a shock, which was no less than the words cadiaN said when he encouraged him.

Is the original problem here?

Wang Che suddenly remembered that when he first officially became a professional player, he relied on his marksmanship to make various offensive and forward pressure attempts.

Unlike now, there are always people covering, but alone.

"Well, I see, thank you, Karrigan." cadiaN looked very serious, and then picked up the juice glass. "Tomorrow we have a match, so we can't drink today. I'll treat you later when we win the championship."

"You want to eat farts, I will invite you after I win the championship!" Karrigan immediately stared.

"Hahaha, it's all the same, let's talk about it after you win Red Star and Navi..."

"Ah... ah!" Karrigan slapped his thigh, a little annoyed.

Faze is in the second half of the knockout round, and the first opponent is Red Star. After winning, they need to win Navi to reach the finals.

But with Faze's current state, it is obviously impossible to win these two CIS teams in a row.

"It's okay, Karrigan." Wang Che, who was confused in his heart, smiled at the man full of stalks in front of him. "You called Ropz, and the rest is for the team to adjust. I believe that you will be able to stand on the championship podium one day."

"Thank you for your blessing, come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"
