CS: The Last Dance, a Dance That Leads to Professional Success

Chapter 69 I tested it! We really crashed into a Galactic battleship!

On the bus from Antwerp to the hotel.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop.

We are about to reach our destination.

After getting on the bus, the child closed his eyes for a nap. He vaguely felt someone watching him. He opened his eyes groggily and met Meng Lang's staring gaze!

The child's heart skipped a beat!
broken!

Dude, what's with that look...?!
A sense of foreboding instantly enveloped him.

Sure enough, Meng Lang grinned, leaned closer with great interest, and said in a low voice, "Ilya, how about we play some handguns together when we get back to the hotel?"

Not buddy!

The child's eye twitched, and the unpleasant experience from last time instantly flashed into his mind. He instinctively wanted to refuse, making excuses such as "I'm tired" or "I need to review the experience."

But seeing Meng Lang's enthusiastic and expectant eyes, the child swallowed back the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue, and weakly asked with a hint of wishful thinking:

"Then... just one quick hit?"

Meng Lang immediately patted his chest and guaranteed it.
A bright smile:

"Don't worry! I promise it'll only take a moment! It'll be quick!"

"."

After entering the Legendary Group early on, Meng Lang spent his days either sparring with the kids or browsing various domestic forums.

Thanks to his "accidental" revelation of his ambition to become number one during a previous interview, his popularity in Chinese online communities has been soaring recently!

Meng Lang was happy to see this happen—whether it was praise or ridicule, it was all contributing a lot of Goat points to him.

However, these Goat values ​​didn't stay in the system panel for long. That very night, Meng Lang spent a huge sum of 8000 Goat points to expand his third simulated space map pool:
Nuclear crisis!

Yes, Meng Lang discovered that the Goat value required to expand each graph actually doubled.

After gritting his teeth and making the purchase, he immediately threw all the Little Bees' mirror images into the new map pool, and then spent 1000 Goat points to train them hard all night.

The experience was absolutely wonderful!!!

Putting everything else aside, the ingenious demonstrations of the various points of contact between the carriers and the nucleus on the diagram alone made Meng Lang feel that it was well worth the price.

He's now eager to try the Nuclear Crisis map—if he plays against the Little Bees again in a team competition, he can't guarantee his team will win, but he's certain he can perform even better than last time!

By the end of the final Challenger Group day on the 13th, all eight spots advancing to the Legends Group had been determined:
G2 and ENCE advanced from Group 3-0;

Teams that advanced from Group 3-1 are Little Bee, Green Dragon, and Outsiders.VP;

The teams that advanced from group 3-2 were Liquid, BNE, and Imperial.

不知该不该算爆冷的是，之前和G2约过训练赛的A队以2-3的战绩倒在了晋级赛边缘。至于0-3的EG早就偷偷死在了无人关心的角落，也算不上什么爆冷门。

"I thought Team A would advance."

Leonardo DiCaprio was somewhat emotional after watching the last day of the competition.

"Forget about that, let's think about the upcoming matches," my cousin said with a smile. "This year's Legendary Group is going to be tough."

This is true.

According to the tournament rules, in addition to these newly joined teams, there are eight established predators waiting in the wings in the Legends Group.

This includes last year's HLTV number one ranked team, NAVI, the super team FAZE, the reincarnated C9, the world's number one defensive team X, and the fire team where Wu Zhuge Breathing is located!

"Which one do you think we'll draw?" my cousin asked.

Leonardo DiCaprio shrugged and couldn't help but laugh: "I don't think it matters who I draw."

"Huh? Then what's important?"

Little Li looked at Meng Lang, who was still training in the training room: "The important thing is whether we can persist in doing the right thing in a corner where no one is watching."

My cousin was taken aback at first, then nodded knowingly, a feeling of admiration rising in his heart.

Indeed, it is easy to maintain great ambition on stage under the spotlight;
But it's rare to maintain that focus and passion when no one is watching.

Meng Lang rose to fame in the Challenger Group and his interview sparked global discussion, yet he has managed to remain focused and train diligently these past two days—a truly commendable attitude. The two exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with recognition for this young Chinese athlete.

G2 really struck gold this time!

That evening, the schedule for the Legends Group was officially released:

G2's match is scheduled for the fifth game tomorrow, and their opponent has unfortunately been "predicted" by the machine – it is the North American super team FAZE, the old rival that shattered G2's dream in the finals at Katowice this year!
The results sparked heated discussions on foreign websites.

Thanks to Meng Lang's outstanding performance, the number of viewers in China for this year's Antwerp Major has reached a new high. More and more people are focusing on this Major event, and more and more people are starting to pay attention to G2's matches.

Domestic viewers were stunned when they saw this matchup:
"Holy crap! G2 is going straight for FAZI?"

"It's true what they say, enemies meet on a narrow road!"

"So the high monk really did predict that I'd be playing big!"

"I have a premonition that the Galactic Battleships will roar once more!"

"Then G2 is finished!"

"."

Inside the Antwerp Hotel.

When the entire G2 team learned of this news, their expressions became somewhat unnatural, even the usually composed Leonardo DiCaprio and his cousin were stunned.

There's no way around it; the shadow of being swept 3-0 by FAZE in the Katowice final this February is just too great.

As the Cato match drew to a close, the old man committed a crime, the kid fired a shot, Leonardo DiCaprio's shot faltered, his cousin went invisible, and Jack made a series of careless mistakes. The painful memories are still vivid in my mind.

Now you're telling me that the Legends team will face FAZE right from the start.

Confronting your inner demons, right?

This is just messing with people's mentality!

However, in the corner,

When Meng Lang heard about the schedule for the Legendary Group, his eyes lit up!
Fight FAZE?

He knows this guy extremely well!
That was his "beginner village" for simulated training!

Practice every night!

I'm about to throw up from all this fucking!
He was so kind to everyone—Big Brother, Director, Rain God, Broccoli, and the dark yet amiable Ropz—that he knew them even better than his G2 teammates.

However, with the expanded map pool now including Liquid and Little Bee, Meng Lang has encountered FAZE much less often after he falls asleep.

No!

We need to practice extra tonight!
So, that very night, Meng Lang returned to the "newbie village" once again.
FAZE, here I come!
The next day, July 5st.

Niko woke up a little earlier than usual.

He admitted that he did not sleep well last night.

Pulling back the curtains, the Antwerp sky was overcast, with thick, low-hanging clouds, as if a long-brewing downpour could be about to pour down at any moment.

This weather gave Niko, who was about to face off against FAZE's "Rain God" in today's match, a strange and unpleasant feeling, just like the day he lost the Katowice final.

Old Ni rubbed his throbbing temples, preparing to tiptoe off to wash up so as not to wake Meng Lang, who shared a room with him.

Just then, a muffled murmur came from the bed next door.

Niko instinctively turned her head and saw Meng Lang wrapped in a blanket, seemingly experiencing some intense scene in his dream, muttering incoherently:

"You have to be aggressive when playing against FAZE."

"The more aggressive you are, the better you'll win."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet morning room.

Niko was taken aback at first, looking at Meng Lang who was still fast asleep, and then shook her head with a wry smile.

He was just talking in his sleep!
Is this kid even dreaming about how to beat FAZE?
Suddenly, a thoughtful expression appeared on Niko's face—was it because the pressure of facing FAZE today was too much and he couldn't sleep well?
well-!
The old nun sighed softly to herself.

Too
Against a galactic battleship like FAZE,
Who can be without pressure?
