CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 459 20. Cheers and boos

Major CSGO events are often arranged in chronological order, and it is rare for two top events to be held at the same time.

So when the IEM Chengdu knockout stage officially started, there were no other first-tier tournaments going on.

CSGO fans from all over the world have their eyes on this IEM.

A total of 16 teams participated in the IEM Chengdu Station, but after the first three days of group matches, only six teams advanced to the knockout stage.

They are COL, Faze, Liquid, Mouz, Astralis and G2.

Among these six teams, someone will definitely take the throne at this IEM Chengdu station.

Therefore, the discussion about each team in the forum also reached its peak.

[G2 was really strong this time, crushing the opponent all the way. I thought they were just randomly buying players, but I didn’t expect that Durant’s move would really work.]

[After all, as a four-time Major champion, Adu has won a lot of Major titles]

【Now we G2 also have a Major championship! 】

[What's so cool about that? Isn't NIKO the same as him, he also won a Major championship? ]

[I think Faze is in a good position. At first glance, it seems like it has no rivals.]

[I agree with this. Although G2 is performing so strongly now, this is how G2 is. The stronger they perform, the worse they become later on. On the contrary, those who perform poorly at the beginning can often achieve good results. So the worse G2 becomes, the worse G2 becomes.]

[The cupboard above is almost done]

[I think COL has a chance to win. After all, their fighting power is there, and they are also the home team.]

[It’s not certain. The group stage was so difficult, the knockout stage will be even more difficult.]

Even as the competition was about to begin, the forum was still in the midst of crazy discussions.

However, as the match day officially arrived, everyone's discussions subsided a little.

Because they all knew that there was no need to discuss what was going on, and they could just watch the remaining six teams fight it out.

Xu Beifang was in the lounge, killing time by watching the discussions on his phone.

Netizens do not have much confidence in them, and most of those who think they can win the championship are their fans.

It's the same as loving someone and loving everyone in them.

However, objectively speaking, few people believe that they can win the championship.

But he doesn't care about this matter particularly.

Firstly, all COL members feel pretty good about themselves in recent training and they all maintain plenty of confidence.

CSGO competitions can naturally even increase a team's original strength.

Secondly, they will officially enter the venue in about ten minutes.

Whether you can win the championship or not, the next step is to fight for real.

Whether you can win or not is not up to you, you have to fight.

“IEM came to this beautiful city of Chengdu 15 years ago…”

The host's deep voice rang out from the venue and gradually spread to the contestant channel.

Hearing this familiar voice, Danking smiled and said, "It's this guy again. His hosting is quite interesting."

The host of IEM Chengdu is DXMASTER, a Chinese host.

In the CS competitions held in China in recent years, most hosts would invite him to control the scene.

Although this guy's hosting style is a bit awkward, being in that environment will make you feel excited.

His ability to control the situation is still quite strong.

"... Considerable changes have taken place in the professional arena. Some people have chosen to leave, some have chosen to transform, and some have chosen to come back." The host calmly laid the emotional foundation. "And we have witnessed the old horse returning to the stable, and also witnessed the new king ascending the throne. But among all these changes, one thing has not changed."

"That's our love for CSGO and competition!"

The host's words resonated with many audience members, and applause broke out in the venue.

The host didn't intend to drag it out any longer, so he held the microphone and began to set the mood: "Are you ready?"

"From the group stage to now, there are only 16 teams left out of the 6 teams. In today's match, the losing team will be eliminated directly."

"Then let us invite ..."

……

“…members of Astralis and COL!”

The voice of the host was transmitted to the ears of all the audience through the live broadcast. In Douyu Live Room No. 6657, people playing the machines also became excited.

"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with this opening!" commented the player playing the machine.

The host continued on screen: "First of all, let us welcome 21-year-old BRO!!"

The camera turned to the Astralis players who were trying to form a group, and Bro's makeup photo also appeared on the big screen.

But compared to the strength of this young player Bro, more people are discussing, [Is Bro really not a JKS brother? ]

After all, they look so much alike.

(BRO on the left, JKS on the right)

"19 years old, STARHR!"

Starhr is a less famous contestant, but has also been the subject of heated discussion.

Because this guy doesn't look like a 19-year-old young man at all.

All of a sudden, comments started to question.

[This is 19 years old? ]

[Yebangge is only 19 years old? 】

[Fuck, this guy looks too anxious]

[I would believe him even if he said he was 35]

[Most foreign guys look mature]

【…】

Many people were reminded and realized who this 19-year-old mature-looking guy was.

Although this guy is not very famous, netizens are still quite friendly towards him.

The nickname "Yebangge" mainly comes from the comment section after Team A's games.

In the several events before IEM Chengdu, Team A's lineup was quite strong.

Their team has a total of 4 TOP20 players, namely Dazhuang, device and the Sheshu brothers.

The only one who is not well-known is STARHR. According to netizens, STARHR has finally made it into the Danish national team. There are a bunch of celebrity guys sitting in the team, so now all he needs to do is lie down.

Then, STARHR took first place in every kill, and the TOP20 players in the team became silent.

Netizens imitated STARHR's personal perspective and complained: "The HLTV with grooves is a pure wild list!"

Therefore, this 19-year-old young player who looks too mature is actually the real big brother of Team A today.

However, the host of the scene did not stay on him for long, and then shouted: "28 years old, device!!"

There was a chorus of cheers at the scene. Most of them liked the player Device. After all, he was the "Comeback Brother" of e-sports, handsome and powerful with his gun.

In the 6657 live broadcast room, the people playing the machines couldn't help but show their filial piety.

The moment he saw the final photo of Device, he excitedly shouted: "Oh, oh, oh my God!"

"22 years old, Stavn!"

The cheers at the scene were finally not all the same; at this moment the cheers turned into boos.

"Xu~~"

The sudden change in style made the audience watching the live broadcast stunned. The COL people who were debugging the equipment on the stage couldn't help laughing, and Danking was so happy that he said, "These snake and rat brothers are really something. The whole audience is booing!"

"20, jabbi."

The public opinion at the scene did not change back, and there was still a chorus of boos.

The camera was turned to Jabbi at the right time. He was adjusting his equipment with a stern face. The color of Team A's logo was projected on his body. It was clear that these two young men would definitely be affected.

The host was a little surprised by this situation, but he had seen a lot of storms before, so he continued with the opening ceremony.

"And their opponent is 24 years old! Danking!"

The audience was also very funny, with cheers and boos mixed together, which really brought the show to its full potential.

"Hihihihi!" The guy who plays with machines in Bengbu said, "How come Dan's career is all show effects?"

"27 years old, NIKO!"

There were no surprises this time, and the whole audience was cheering. Everyone liked NIKO, the top gun man, very much. Besides occasionally liking to hang out in nightclubs, NIKO didn't have many black spots and didn't perform as well as he should have in the two finals of major competitions.

Therefore, when his ID came out, the cheers from the audience exceeded that of the previous device.

"26 years old! Nice!"

This time, the atmosphere was no longer filled with cheers, but pure applause.

Xu Beifang's fans held up his related support items and shouted excitedly in the venue to express their support for Xu Beifang.

Even several players on the field were shocked. They didn't expect that Xu Beifang could still get so much support even though he hadn't been active for several years.

Elige and JKS' names were called out one after another, and they also received support from the audience's cheers.

Both of them are honest people and don't have particularly large traffic, but the audience generally has a good impression of them, so when the host calls out their names, the audience is very cooperative.

Xu Beifang inserted the USB flash drive prepared by the competition team, and then made sure that there were no problems with the peripherals, and began to enter TS voice to debug the device.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

NIKO replied: "I can't hear it."

"Then I'll bring the whole electric microphone next time I go to Maozi's place."

JKS laughed, “Then he must have heard it clearly.”

After confirming that there was no problem with the equipment, Xu Beifang took off his headphones and started to enter the Aimbotz practice map to warm up his hands. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from the stands: "Nice!"

When he looked up after hearing that, he saw an Old K, smoking a cigarette, waving at him excitedly.

Although Xu Beifang didn't know how the cigarette made such a loud noise, he still waved in that direction in a friendly manner.

The scene entered cheering mode again.

The audience was so enthusiastic that Danking couldn't help but complain, "Is it that serious? How many times do you have to cheer just for waving your hands? These people are too enthusiastic."

Xu Beifang laughed: "Do you know what home field advantage is?"

"Today is our home game. The people in the audience will be emotionally shaken by our win or loss. We must not let them down."

Danking laughed when he heard this: "Then let them see Danking's power. Watch me destroy the equipment today!"

Before they could even whistle a few times, the referee behind them reminded them that they could enter the BP phase.

Today's BP was based on the rock-paper-scissors mode, and then they watched the smiling coach happily return to the game room.

Xu Beifang asked: "Did you win?"

The smiling coach raised his eyebrows and raised his right hand: "Of course, today I guessed that betting with coins wouldn't work, so I chose the rock-paper-scissors mode. Then when the other party suggested rock-paper-scissors with the left hand, I deliberately used my right hand!"

"As expected, I successfully got the first Ban right in this BP!"

He looked at his players and joked, "Guys, I have done what I can do. Next I can go to the VIP viewing area."

NIKO rolled his eyes: "I've never seen a coach so lazy. You must have been French in your previous life."

NIKO insinuated that the smiling coach was a French lazy dog.

Coach Xiaoxi was not angry either.

Among all the coaches in the first-line CS team, he is also the most special one.

Because he is the one who will laugh out loud even when his teammates make mistakes.

His relationship with his players was like that of a group of good friends, and as an older member of the team, he helped serve as the coach.

In terms of ability, he is indeed not as good as Zonic, B1ad3 or even XTQZZZ, but there is one thing about him that these top coaches can never catch up with.

He was able to get along well with the players.

This is both a benefit and a disadvantage.

If you encounter a group of young players, this approach will actually make them confused.

But now COL is a group of old Dengs, and his style makes the players very comfortable.

NIKO and the others in COL clearly have this feeling. Even if the team encounters problems, they are relaxed and solve the problems through discussion.

Even when he was asked to take over the command of Xu Beifang in that game, Coach Xiaoxi said he wanted NIKO to give it a try.

Fortunately, this style of play was successful, and they also found the pattern of the team's attack and method.

A few people were joking around, and soon the BP officially began.

Having obtained the BP rights for this game, it was quite easy for me to do the BP.

After careful consideration, they first removed the amusement park.

From the next tournament, Amusement Park will be out of service as a map, which means there is no need to practice it at all.

On this map, COL just maintains the basic training volume, nothing more.

Their first-ban map is actually Anubis, but there is no need to worry today because Team A also first-bans Anubis.

"The opponent has banned the amusement park, what should we say?" BRO asked device.

Device took a breath. He was actually a little troubled.

Before this game, he looked at COL's BP records from the previous few games.

Although Anubis had never fought a battle, they had released him before, which made him a little unsure.

What if COL knows how to play Anubis and they release this map? It would be like giving away a map for free and it would be completely unplayable.

But in fact, he wanted to ban the town of Purgatory more.

He was conservative after all: "Ban Anubis."

In this way, the town was freed.

As expected, COL took over the town directly.

"Team A, after careful consideration, decided to take Nuclear Crisis as their second map."

"Then COL should remove the building next..." But before he could finish his sentence, he saw that COL had removed the ancient ruins.

This was something he didn't expect.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that it was actually reasonable.

"Although COL Building was played very abstractly, Team A played Ancient Ruins very well recently. They don't want this map to be released."

"In that case, there won't be any surprises for Team A. They'll remove the maze city and leave a building as the third map."

Well, BP is officially over.

Figure 2: Nuclear Crisis

Picture 3: Death Building

The ten players from both sides entered the final preparation time and the competition is about to begin!
