Chapter 289 Stepping Stones

On July 7th, everyone in Heroic woke up early, and gathered in the training room by coincidence.

Waiting for cadiaN to arrange tasks, stavn felt that he had nothing to do, so he called Wang Che, built a heads-up map and started practicing guns.

sjuush and TeSeS soon joined in, and 1v1 became 2v2.

Four people fought like this for nearly an hour.

After seeing Wang Che's kills surpassed 100, everyone realized that cadiaN and Xizt had disappeared somewhere long ago.

Only assistant coach Robl was left with a helpless face.

"cadiaN said that you are free to move around, and he will come back during lunch time."

"Xizt with him?"

"Ah."

Stavn and others didn't know what cadiaN and Xizt had secretly discussed together.

But when the two of them came back, they were full of joy, and they were extremely confident about the next game.

"Let's go, brothers, it's time to go after eating."

"Everything has been arranged, the rest is to see how you play in the game."

Entering the knockout round, the game will not be held in the offline studio, but will come to the prestigious Lanxess Stadium.

The first opener, Heroic vs. Liquid, will start at 3:30.

The second game will be at 7:30 in the evening, with Red Star playing against Faze.

According to the statistics of the competition party, more than 2 tickets for each session of the Cologne scene will be sold out before the official start of the competition.

Players and spectators from all over the world have maintained a high enthusiasm for the Cologne event.

It was just after 1 o'clock when the Heroic people arrived at the venue, but there was already a queue outside the venue waiting to enter.

After accepting simple interviews and shooting, everyone handed over their personal equipment to the staff.

The staff will help to adjust all the settings on the competition computer.

Next, everyone waited quietly in the lounge for the start of the opening ceremony of the game.

Xizt immediately took out the tactics book and began to emphasize the tactical arrangement.

"Our pre-match preparations are sufficient, and everything we can say has been said."

"It's the first time for Clear and sjuush to come to Cologne, so relax and don't be nervous."

"Although stavn and TeSeS came several times, they failed to get any good results."

"But this time, it will be Heroic's best chance."

"Boys, come on."

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it." cadiaN looked relaxed, and then turned his gaze to his team members. "Tactical arrangements are dead, but people are alive. In the arena, I will not strictly require you to implement various tactics."

"The same goes for Heroic's style."

"Maybe I will have a whim during the game, think of some good ideas, and then let you immediately play according to my ideas."

"Play hard, shout as much as you want, and play to our strength."

"In the first match against Liquid, the intensity of the opponents was very suitable. It was like a warm-up before the final, and then we easily defeated them."

"Don't worry, I believe we can do it." Wang Che glanced around his teammates with hot eyes. "Our goal is the Grand Slam and Major, and Cologne is just one stop on our road to championship."

To be honest, Wang Che has been thankful that he was able to know cadiaN and join Heroic.

It's not a perfect team, but because it's not perfect, everyone is trying to be perfect.

Moreover, Wang Che has never seen a team that is more teamed than them.

Fight together when you lose, and go crazy when you win. Everyone knows how to adjust the atmosphere in the team.

Compared with those teammates who start complaining and stressing when they lose, who doesn't like the rope-twisting brother who always says "Nice" to comfort and encourage his teammates.

"Let's go, it's time to enter." The staff glanced at the watch and reminded.

"OK, everything is ready." cadiaN was the first to jump up from the sofa.

Wang Che and others nodded silently.

"Then let's go!"

……

In the huge venue, the crowd of spectators was like the tide on the seashore at night, wave after wave.

They waved their flags and hands and made all kinds of roars.

Under the dim lighting of the audience, there was only a white light strip leading to the stage.

Following behind cadiaN, Wang Che stretched out his arms, high-fiving the crowd on both sides.

"Come on, Clear!"

"come on!"

"Let's, Heroic!"

……

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, everyone in Heroic quickly noticed.

Compared with the previous IEM Summer Games, there are actually many fans wearing Heroic team uniforms in Cologne at this time!
"I feel that this time it won't be such an away game." Sjuush felt a little happy, after all, who doesn't want to see his supporters.

"But you still have to be mentally prepared. Who knows if the audience will be the same as before." Stavn blushed and waved to the audience with his name written on it.

"Don't think about those things, just focus on the game." cadiaN turned his head and said with a smile.

"Well, thinking too much will only disturb me." Wang Che nodded aside, then turned his head to watch Liquid's players come out from the other side of the arena.

The leader, the bearded FalleN, stood upright with a smile on his face.

And the players following behind him had different postures.

EliGE was expressionless, NAF was lazy, and Grim was a little timid, keeping his head down all the way.

The most eye-catching one was Stewie2K, who kept high-fiving the audience all the way and was extremely active.

Thinking about it, this is his first offline match in the past year, and it's time for him to perform well.

But when Wang Che saw this person, his eyes tightened.

He is rarely hostile to other players, because he thinks that all professional players are worthy of respect for sticking to their dreams and constantly striving.

But this person is the only exception.

He is domineering and domineering, and no one can control these.

But a person rooted in China spoke fiercely, and even ridiculed secretly.

This is something that is unacceptable.

For no reason, Wang Che suddenly felt a little unlucky.

……

"EliGE, that Clear is looking at me." Stewie2K raised the corner of his mouth and walked to the stage, waving his hands to the audience. "Do you think he is afraid of me? I'm an old man."

"They're all Chinese, so it's normal to pay attention to you." EliGE replied casually.

"I'm not Chinese." Stewie2K twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little angry in his chest. "I was born in America, the native kind."

For Stewie2K's persistence, EliGE is also very helpless, because no matter who he talks about this kind of topic, he will be anxious to show his face.

There is no way, EliGE can only complain secretly in his heart: "That is also a Chinese."

But he couldn't say that, after all, it might cause the two of them to quarrel on the spot.

That will definitely affect the performance of the next game.

Of course Stewie2K didn't know what his teammates were thinking, and only thought that the other party chose to compromise.

But he was still not satisfied, he licked his lips and said arrogantly: "I will kill him later."

These words were so outrageous that Grim rolled his eyes at the side: "You need to figure out a way for the team to win Heroic before we talk about it."

"Wait and see, I'm good at swordsmen." Stewie2K's face was full of disdain. "Don't put the opponent in your eyes, despise them, it will be easier to defeat them."

"I can't learn your strange theory." FalleN said back. "Heroic is very strong, we must treat them well."

After a while, the map BP results of the two teams, Heroic and Liquid, appeared on the big screen in the center of the stage.

Three maps.

Death Building, Purgatory Town, Death Amusement Park.

Among them, the Death Building is the first map that Heroic actively chooses.

Although Liquid's map pool is deep, it is not refined enough. First, ban the ancient ruins, and then choose Purgatory Town, a map that anyone can play and is relatively stable.

……

"Bad luck, brothers."

In the 6657 live broadcast room, from the moment I saw a player who was pushed to the ground and beaten violently, I kept expressing emotion while playing with the machine.

"I won't say much else, I just hope that Clear can educate this man for us, I don't even miss his ID."

"It's better to beat the kind."

"Otherwise, I don't feel good about winning."

When it comes to this, the barrage is naturally very exciting.

【This is so unlucky】

【Stupid2b】

[A good day, from the end of seeing bananas]

【Did he not box before? 】

【Although I like liquid, but 2Kbiss】

[Liquid is really not good in front of Heroic, the question is how many points can I get? 】

"There shouldn't be much suspense in this game."

"Although Heroic lost to Navi, it was Navi, not a liquid that can touch porcelain casually."

"If Liquid wants to win, they can only look at the faces of the Heroic players."

"Unless the four of them pull their hips together and Clear hits the C alone, I don't understand how Heroic lost."

Between talking and laughing, the competition in the Death Building started soon.

Heroic took the initiative to choose the map, and Liquid did his part. In the first half, he played the defensive side first.

The M4A1 gun makes CT's winning rate slightly ahead of the offensive side on this map.

But only a little.

Wang Che didn't care too much about the starting side. After all, the gap between Heroic and Liquid wasn't a problem that could be made up by a good start.

The map of Death Building relies heavily on the control of slope A. Once the attacker controls slope A, it is easy to open up the situation and score points.

And Heroic was able to defeat a series of strong teams such as Red Star and Little Bee in the Death Building.

Relying on the Jagged Grab A slope control.

As soon as the pistol round started, cadiaN spent all his money.

He took out a handful of P250 and threw it to Wang Che, and then brought flash and smoke bombs.

Leaving sjuush to break B alone, the other four went straight to slope A.

As for Liquid, they also carefully prepared their tactics.

Stewie2K took the double guns issued to him by FalleN, and came to the sandbags on the A slope at the beginning.

Hearing the sound of footsteps under his feet, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

EliGE stood on the A slope platform, and with the help of FalleN's anti-clear flash, he went up and down with Stewie2K and pulled out the A slope at the same time.

Just in time for Heroic's four-person storm.

"Clap clap clap..."

Glock, double guns, and P250 gunshots sounded at the same time.

TeSeS bounced all the way, although it was all white by the flash, it also successfully attracted tons of firepower for teammates and opened the first wave of guns.

【Liquid.EliGE used USP to kill Heroic.TeSeS】

[Heroic.Clear kills Liquid.Stewie250K with a P2 headshot]

[Heroic.stavn kills Liquid.EliGE with a Glock headshot]

"Clear hit a headshot with the first shot, killing Banana directly!"

"FalleN spent money to buy two guns for him to give away, don't buy them next time, it's better to get them yourself."

"Two hits in a row, the Heroic bomb will immediately attack point A."

"FalleN has an unarmored USP, can he fight?"

"Clear stepped up and headshot again!"

"He was in really good form today."

NAF and Grim, who arrived late, could only watch as cadiaN buried him and then retreated.

Back defense without props depends entirely on personal ability.

The two stood one on the left and one on the right, wanting to take the initiative to find someone to confront the gun, but as soon as the shot was fired, Heroic was a sandbag slope with A small and PEEK at the same time.

NAF only replaced cadiaN, and was once again taken over by Wang Che's P250.

The score easily came to 1:0.

In the second round, Wang Che took out the AK47 easily, and the hair dryer has never been his choice.

"Continue to hit the A slope first, and slowly use the props to advance. Even if the five of them bet on A, we don't have to worry about it." cadiaN arranged tactics while buying a hair dryer.

After taking out the incendiary bomb, he threw it to Wang Che.

Then I still felt that it was not enough, so I lost another flash.

"Clear, you will fire the sandbag later, lest I die without props."

cadiaN has long discovered the benefits of throwing props to Wang Che,
After all, his extraordinary survival rate can significantly increase the usage rate of props.

And in a way, it can effectively save a lot of money.

The best way to kill someone with a hair dryer is to go up and do it with a gun.

In the past, he often rushed forward with a suit of props, but now he only needs to leave what can be used.

"Continue to take control of A major first."

The playing machine looked at the game screen and said.

"Heroic's style of play is very simple and direct, and he doesn't hide his steps at all."

"And for Liquid, even if they know the opponent is playing like this, the question is can they catch it?"

Before reaching A small, EliGE heard the sound of chaotic footsteps under his feet, and at the same time calling his teammates, he had already reached A small close by himself.

The advantage of Sand Eagle's two shots and one shot is long gone, but it doesn't mean that it can't kill people at close range.

As long as the headshot is shot, it is one shot.

But the moment he ventured to probe, he received an AK bullet first.

"when……"

Everyone could clearly see the sparks erupting from Brother Ji's helmet.

【Heroic.Clear kills Liquid.EliGE with a headshot from AK47】

"Damn it, Clear, you're not giving people a way to survive." cadiaN, who was rushing forward, sighed.

He sees the man first, but the head is someone else's.

Who is to make sense of this.

"There are four more, don't worry." Wang Che finished holding the gun, smiled into the microphone, and then walked onto the yellow cloth.

As soon as he saw the red dot on the map, he immediately shot a few shots at A's small board, trying to cover his teammates' steps on A's small board.

[Heroic.Clear used AK47 to kill Liquid.Stewie2K through the wall]

There is also cadiaN's assist on the kill prompt.

"This head will never be spared, right!" cadiaN wanted to cry but had no tears.

3 vs 5, leaving only endless despair for Liquid.

FalleN bird sniper crazily mixed into the smoke, but nothing came out.

NAF and Grim who came after that did not intend to end the game, and after a while they fought quietly and began to retreat.

But following a flash that flew into the police station, cadiaN also jumped out holding the hair dryer.

If he can't beat anyone, he will never give up!
Blow off NAF, and take away FalleN with a backhand headshot.

Although it was replaced by Grim Sand Eagle, cadiaN finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

You can't get this!

Win the strong start game, and then easily win the following ECO game.

The score easily came to 3:0.

Fourth round.

The first long gun round in the first half is very important. If it is still won by Heroic, it will be unacceptable in terms of economy and morale.

FalleN carefully arranged the tactics.

"Stewie2K smoked the slope, EliGE took A, and I started to take down the slope control."

"Heroic can't be allowed to continue to do whatever he wants!"

"Grim and NAF defended against the B-point Rush. Their small guns didn't drop much. According to cadiaN's command habits, they will probably increase their speed."

And Heroic's side is indeed a simple wave of Rush.

"Clear, you are in a good position, let's make a breakthrough this round."

"Liquid will definitely defend heavily on slope A, but we don't need to be afraid, just break through them head-on."

"Okay." Wang Che nodded.

It may be an illusion, Wang Che can feel that cadiaN's arrangement for him seems to be somewhat different from before.

Since DreamHack, cadiaN has never placed him in the breakthrough position except for endgames and opportunities.

Someone must be pulling the strings for him.

Could it be what his cousin said last night that also made him determined to make a change?

But that's fine too.

Freeman, breakthrough player, Wang Che likes to play these roles very much.

It is precisely because he likes this role that he chooses to become a rifleman.

Walking to the police station and hearing footsteps downstairs, Stewie2K's nerves tensed immediately.

Three rounds, record 0-3, it's time to kill.

After giving the slope smoke, Stewie2K walked at the end of the team.

Then flashed the ramp and saw FalleN actively peeking out on the stage, his eyes had already glanced to the upper right corner.

FalleN's sniper is not fast, but very steady, this is a good opportunity to get the first kill.

"boom!"

"Da da da……"

[Liquid.FalleN used AWP to kill Heroic.TeSeS]

【Heroic.Clear kills Liquid.FalleN with a headshot from AK47】

"Come closer behind the sandbag, he's stepping on fire, fix him!"

The sound of FalleN's announcement came from the earphones, and Stewie2K did not hesitate to make up for it.

But seeing only half of the bandit's shadow in the fire, he fell down immediately.

"clatter……"

one tap?

Stewie2K's eyes widened.

And in the death perspective of him falling down, in the next second, that Clear was burned to death just like that...

[Heroic.Clear kills Liquid.Stewie47K with an AK2 headshot]

[Liquid.FalleN killed Heroic.Clear with an incendiary bomb]

"At the last moment, hey, someone came out to deliver it."

"It's so sweet."

There was cynicism in the tone of playing the machine.

"Clear is too reckless, stepping on the fire directly, without hesitation at all."

"But he also hit the key break."

"If only there was someone behind to put out the fire for him."

"However, we can't blame our teammates. TeSeS has already taken out the cigarettes, but was sniped by FalleN."

"The ones who walk in front are not the ones who are behind. FalleN's gun is really unstoppable."

[Banana looks like it! 】

[Want to snatch the head but give it away for nothing, Dian Zhong Dian. 】

【Give me a ruthless tulle banana man】

[Laughing to death, I can't kill a bandit who stepped on the fire. 】
