CSGO professional player

Chapter 340
As early as the beginning of 2021, Valve has already announced that there will be a Major this year.

Since then, players and teams around the world have been waiting to see what happens.

But a week after the end of the EPL, all arrangements for the Major were finally finalized.

On October 10, the Major will start in Stockholm, Sweden. 26 teams from six major regions will gather in Sweden to compete for a total prize of US$24 million.

And CSGO’s highest honor.

Previously, the 2020 Rio Major was canceled due to a series of other problems.

Today, CSGO’s top event, which has been away for two years, has finally returned to the horizons of all players.

After returning from Malta, everyone was pulled into the conference room before they could go back to rest.

NoobworK, Erik, TA Robl, Felicity.

Almost all Heroic staff attended the meeting.

"Major!"

cadiaN wrote a few large letters on the blackboard in the conference room, looking majestic and high-spirited.

"Now, we only have this in mind, and we can put other things later."

"Blast, IEM Europe, these events are not the most important, but if we appear on the court, we still have to give our best and try to win the championship."

"But from today on, everything we do is for the Stockholm Major."

"Our current points ranking on HLTV is No. 2 in the world, far surpassing No. [-] Navi."

"In other words, we are the team most likely to win this Major."

"Brothers, this opportunity may only come once in our lives. We must seize this opportunity, otherwise, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Everyone nodded in unison, with enthusiasm in their eyes.

That's the Major.

It's finally here.

You know, at least 90% of CSGO professional players strive just to participate in the Major during their careers.

This is honorable enough.

And Heroic now has a chance to win.

The probability is still high.

"The state you are in right now is the best. Remember this feeling and keep it up."

The fire in Xizt's heart has been ignited.

He is the only Swede on the team and Stockholm is his hometown.

If you can win the championship in your hometown, the meaning will be completely different.

"There are many teams that don't care about results, they just want to be able to participate. The mentality of such teams is the most worrying."

"They have no burden or pressure and can enjoy the game wholeheartedly, which will keep them in excellent condition."

"But because of expectations and pressure, strong teams will constrain themselves in the game and eventually lose the game."

“This is how the dark horses of previous years were born.”

"The gap between teams in the CSGO field is very small. If you don't pay attention to your opponents, you will lose."

"This is a mistake we must not make."

Wang Che smiled, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "I think a little pressure is not a bad thing."

"There is motivation only when there is pressure. Being careless will make people forget what their original goal is."

"But I think the pressure on our opponents will only be greater."

"Because they are going to face Heroic..."

……

There is still more than a month before the Major, but Wang Che and others have quietly started training.

Although Heroic is now firmly ranked first in the world, no one can guarantee whether other teams will suddenly appear and become dark horses.

There is no shortage of Cinderella fairy tales in any esports event.

CSGO is naturally the same.

But unlike other events, CSGO is most likely to have dark horses in events, not events hosted by EPL and ESL.

Instead, it is the Major, the highest level.

Because one of the original intentions of V Club when hosting the Major was to give all players the opportunity to participate in this event.

So, there are always teams that overcome all odds and achieve great things in the end.

Regardless of whether ENCE played against Astralis in the finals and finished second.

Gambit entered the Major as a lowly horse, defeated the defending champion Astralis, and then defeated Immortals to win the Krakow Major championship.

Or Cloud9 defeated Galaxy Battleship Faze and became the final winner of the 2018 Boston Major.

People like to see these stories of the weak defeating the strong.

Although some of them appeared in people's field of vision briefly like meteors, they quickly disappeared.

But these teams are never forgotten.

The information of all teams in all competition regions was found by assistants Robl and Xizt. They are constantly analyzing the possibility of which teams advance to the main competition.

Then I will find a way to download the game video for analysis, and finally archive it in a folder.

Perhaps one day in the future, Heroic may be able to use this information.

Having just won the championship and Grand Slam, the club's schedule for Wang Che and others is not that tight yet.

Free activities every morning, gathering for map running in the afternoon, and then finding a team to play training matches in the evening.

There are only a handful of teams that can play scrims with Heroic, but they are all first-tier teams.

Navi, Gambit, little bee.

One day, I made an appointment in advance for a training match with G2.

As soon as Wang Che entered the game, Niko, who had already entered the server to warm up, immediately greeted him warmly.

Niko: Hello, I'm in good shape today, so be careful.

Clear: Huh?Let’s wait and see.

huNter: Prepare to accept the punishment of our Kovich brothers.

cadiaN: Afraid...

When everyone is here and both nexa and cadiaN issue the ".ready" command.

Only then did Wang Che notice that G2 seemed to have a strange, yet somewhat familiar Two-dimensional avatar.

I am familiar with it because I have encountered it too many times in FPL.

The strangeness is because this avatar should not appear here at this point in time.

cadiaN also quickly discovered this difference, and after a moment he figured out what was going on: "G2 changed snipers, and AMANEK is gone."

Wang Che nodded. He had already clicked on the new person's profile.

Make sure your impression is correct.

It’s m0NESY.

This is a very famous player in both CSGO professional circles and FPL.

Although he is only 16 years old, he has been playing in Navi Junior for more than a year and has long been hailed as s1mple's successor.

Moreover, he is one of the earliest players in the youth training team.

The reason why he couldn't join the home team is also very simple. First, his position conflicts with s1mple, and second, he is too young...

There have long been rumors that Navi agreed to let him go to other teams, and B1ad3 also continued to build momentum for him and tell some news about him.

But the transfer period was missed, the contract and price issues have always been a mystery, and no team has expressed interest in him, so the rumors quickly died away.

But people didn't expect that he would actually play a training match with the G2 players at this point before the Major.

This shows that G2 has decided to buy him and has almost succeeded.

Maybe it's just because the contract or other details haven't been officially announced yet.

Obviously, G2 bought m0NESY for the future Stockholm Major.

Because their shortcomings are too obvious, they are in urgent need of a strong sniper.

JACKZ, m0NESY, nexa, huNter-, NiKo…

As for this combination, m0NESY seems to be a very good choice indeed.

Young, promising future.

There is no doubt about the strength.

If all the highlights and highlights he played in FPL were cut together, they would probably last several hours.

As if aware of Heroic's curiosity, m0NESY took the initiative to say hello on the public screen.

"Hello, everyone."

"I am m2NESY, a new member of G0."

cadiaN was the first to respond: "Hello, hello, when will G2 be officially announced?"

"Just these few days." NiKo quickly typed on the public screen. "The contract and everything has been finalized."

Wang Che: "Congratulations, the powerful sniper you have longed for." m0NESY: "XD, thank you."

TeSeS: "God A, have a good trip."

JACKZ: "He's still alive and well!"

……

The training match started quickly in a cheerful atmosphere.

Within a few rounds, everyone at Heroic discovered that G2 had made a lot of changes for this new sniper.

Even NiKo gave up his usual position.

For example, the arches in Lost City.

As long as m0NESY is here, Niko will definitely take the initiative to help defend in the VIP room.

And the reason why Niko did this does not need any other explanation.

m0NESY defended very well.

Facing Heroic's upper arch with A, he can get two heads almost every time.

Even when cadiaN is counterattacking with a big sniper, Repeek can come out to steal people.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the trumpet s1mple.

After the fifteen rounds of the first attack in the first half, cadiaN's head was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.

He played less in FPL and knew that m0NESY was strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong.

The reaction and speed are completely different from AMANEK.

Only one word.

fast!
The last sniper he remembered who was so fast was kennyS, the man who made all players fear him.

Perhaps due to God's will, kennyS was put on the bench by G2 in March due to poor condition, and there has been no news so far.

G2 has two fast snipers in a row...

"It's nice to be young..."

They faced each other several times, but only won once, and because m0NESY had an empty gun, cadiaN couldn't help but sigh in his voice.

"G2 really found the right person when they found him."

"Are you feeling the pressure?" Wang Che said jokingly after looking at the score. It was 7:8 in the first half and the offense only scored 7 points.

"Definitely." cadiaN sighed again. "No one would feel comfortable being chased and killed by someone who is smaller than themselves."

"It's okay, don't worry too much." Wang Che smiled and said easily. "He is indeed very strong. When he is in good condition, he can be called unsolvable, but he also has many problems."

"Well, I can certainly see that." cadiaN nodded. "Otherwise, wouldn't my position as captain be in vain?"

Sure enough, in the second half.

G2's offense couldn't open up the situation in front of Heroic's regular defense.

m0NESY launched an offensive sniper, but it didn't change much. After being blocked by cadiaN's defensive sniper, he couldn't get out at all.

G2 still relies on Niko's breakthrough to break the point.

After the training match ended, Wang Che gave his own evaluation.

"It seems that it will take some time for him to adapt to the game and G2."

cadiaN looked at Wang Che with a strange look: "Do you think everyone can be like you, with all their personal abilities and adaptability fully developed?"

"Although he has not yet made his debut in the top competition, his results in the youth training are already impeccable."

"Given time, he will definitely become the key player in G2."

……

The next day, G2 officially announced that they had signed m60NESY for more than $0 and devolved AMANEK.

This transfer news is no less explosive than Rop's transfer to Faze a few months ago.

In an instant, various comments flooded the community forum. Fans expressed doubts and blessings about this change.

Some G2 fans seemed to have seen the scene when G2 stood on the podium again.

Although they also feel that the price of 60W is a bit expensive.

But the money was not provided by them, so they still expressed their best wishes.

【Noooo! I love Kennys! 】

[That’s okay, a Major championship will get you back your money. 】

[Navi youth training is really full of talents, there is B1T in the front, and m0NESY in the back]

[KennyS: It depends on whether you are quick or not. 】

[Is it enough to just replace AMANEK?Let me tell you, even if the conductor is changed, Nexa will have a huge problem. 】

[Aren’t you trying to make things difficult for others? Where can I find the commander now...]

……

m0NESY vs AMANEK.

A reinforcement in every sense of the word.

But the most critical question is whether m0NESY, a newcomer who has never even played in a first-line game, is really qualified.

And as soon as I got there, I played the Major.

Can it really work?
This behavior seems to some fans to be a huge gamble.

After all, no one can guarantee that replacing a sniper with a stronger paper strength will help the current G2.

But the deal is done, no matter what the fans say, G2 must prove it with results.

……

At the end of the month, IEM Europe is in full swing.

As the last RMR event, this will determine which teams can participate in the subsequent Major.

In the entry list, Wang Che saw the names of Copenhagen Flames, Hooxi and others as he wished.

They broke through the siege and actually came here.

Next, they only need to break through the group stage and win a random game to participate in the Major.

But in a competition where all first-tier European teams participate, it is extremely difficult to advance.

The first well-known team to be eliminated was the Swedish giant Fnatic.

After undergoing a reorganization, they successfully entered the knockout stages of the EPL, but after a short honeymoon period, they lost to Faze, NiP, and two other second-tier teams.

The 0-5 result in the group stage made them embarrassed to face the folks in their hometown.

Before it even started, he announced the end of his Major journey in advance.

While people were feeling regretful, FPX and Mou were also eliminated one after another.

FunPlus Phoenix announced its disbandment at Lightspeed after failing to qualify for the Major.

To this day, I still don’t know what FPX’s management thinks when they look at Heroic today…

Without Ropz as a general, Mouz cannot continue. Although they did not score a point in this RMR competition, relying on their outstanding performance in the previous Flashpoint League, there is still the possibility of entering the Major.

Heroic successfully advanced to the knockout round with a complete victory. Although they failed to defeat Little Bee and only got No. 6, their RMR points were enough for them to easily go to Stockholm.

After the change, G2 performed well. After defeating Team Fiend, they defeated Movister Riders and finished fifth.

m0NESY's performance is remarkable, and he suppressed all criticisms in one fell swoop.

Copenhagen Flames followed closely behind, finishing seventh in the event, with 1563 RMR points.

And they officially relied on these 1563 points to enter the Major at the bottom, becoming the last of the twelve European teams heading to Stockholm.

As the dust has settled on the RMR events in several other divisions.

All 24 teams participating in the Major have been confirmed.

Wang Che even saw Tianlu's name. They entered the Major competition group with No. 1 Asian RMR points.
Because the RMR points calculation formula has different scoring coefficients for each event, Heroic's points are not among the top three in Europe.

According to the rules of the RMR event, the top three teams in European points can directly enter the Major championship group, while the other five teams from North America will take the top three, and the CIS will take the top two.

In desperation, Wang Che and others had no choice but to settle in the challenge group and play the Swiss round with the eight teams in the competition group.

This is not a big deal.

In the words of cadiaN, by playing the game in advance, you can adapt to the rhythm of the Major game in advance, and it is easier to get into the state.

This is actually the advantage of the challenge group.

Although the championship group will have one less round to play, they will face other teams with hot hands. It is still unclear who will win or lose.

The news that Heroic and Clear confirmed their participation in the Major soon spread back to China.

While the fans cheered, Wang Che also started to have a headache.

Because according to convention, before the start of the Major competition, players are asked to submit their signature styles so that signature capsules can be made.

What Wang Che struggled with was whether to design a meaningful signature and submit it to V Agency?
But how can it be meaningful.

This is a bit difficult...
