Chapter 72 Pour the liquid where they should go
Saturday, October 30, 2021.
Suitable for: praying, traveling, consecrating, pouring liquids where they should go...
The sun was shining brightly in Stockholm today, which made Jiang Yang feel quite comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that after waking up, Masisi sent a message saying that he had bought a ticket and was going to fly to Stockholm, which made Jiang Yang look forward to it.
October has reached its final stage, and their challenger group's vacation has officially ended, and the legend group competition has officially begun.
The main game of the Major, that is, the legend group, uses a confrontation between old and new legends in the first round.
The eight teams that emerged from the challenger group faced off against the members of the championship group of the previous Major, which were the top eight.
However, because the last Major was so long ago, the top 8 of the Stockholm Major this time are special and are directly invited.
They are NAVI, Gambit, Vitality, NIP, Furia, Liquid, EG, and G2.
The opponent that the steel helmet was matched with was the North American giant Liquid in the old legend.
Although Liquid is one of the strongest teams in North America, hitting Liquid during this time period is definitely good news for the Helmets.
Because Liquid is already on the verge of reorganization at this time, Liquid's performance in the past few months has been quite poor, and it is the weakest team in the entire legendary group.
How to describe it, the current liquid in the competition is of the same level as the helmet, both [3-0] and [0-3] levels.
For teams with similar combat capabilities, the Steel Helmets have a slight chance of advancement.
The preparations for dealing with the liquid had been completed, and Jiang Yang was scrolling through his phone boredly, watching some discussions on the Internet.
The top 16 competition is about to take place, and the number of discussion posts about betting in the forum has increased significantly.
However, in addition to the betting posts, there are also discussions about the competition.
[In this group, G2 is the strongest dark horse as soon as they come up. I feel like G2 is going to be blown away by Xiao Huo Miao. Damn it]
[It’s a pity that I couldn’t see Team A playing NIP, otherwise it would have been a scene of ruthless rebellion]
[If nothing else, I hope the Steel Helmets can win at least one round, so that I don’t come to the legendary group in vain]
[I believe my cousin, as long as he can play at the same level as the challenger group, he will definitely be able to advance]
[Don’t brag like that, I just played in the second line to explode fish]
[It can only be said that this Major is full of talents. NAVI has a B1t, the helmet has a cousin, and Denmark has an anthropomorphic Lucky]
[All the newcomers are showing off, only Lucky is being beaten haha]
[It depends on whether my cousin has a chance to dry up the liquid today. I’ll put the helmet in the promotion. I’ll bet on a big one! 】
Domestic audiences are still looking forward to Jiang Yang. As for those who think that he will disappear when they meet such an established first-line team, Jiang Yang doesn't care much.
In fact, he doesn't have that much psychological pressure.
He has actually played against a veteran first-tier team once.
In the first game of the challenger group, he ran into Heroic.
He also knew in that game that if the touch was good, this kind of first-line team would have a chance to come back.
So he didn't feel that much pressure.
What he had in mind was more anticipation, after all, he would actually compete against the star players in his memory.
Today's Liquid includes the Brazilian godfather Fallen, CSGO's only chicken brother Elige, North American last-game master sloth NAF, North American Sun Yalong Grimz, and NIKO's three-box brother stewie2K.
Well...a beautiful day ended when I saw Jiaojiao.
But Jiang Yang knew that the audience would still hope.
A beautiful day started again when Jiaojiao was beaten violently.
……
After the game time arrived, the members of the Steel Helmets took their seats one after another. Jiang Yang still brought his little pony doll to the scene. This was already his lucky thing.
But it's a little too big. Jiang Yang is thinking about getting a palm-sized one to take with him.
"The black brothers just now were so cruel."
While debugging the equipment, Brother Xiaosha came over to chat, "I thought Xiao Huo Miao was going to be overthrown by G2 in this state, but the two brothers cut off 50 heads together and were crushed to pieces by Xiao Huo Miao."
"But Armagnac is really outrageous. The big sniper fired wildly. I feel that the G2 game may be the most difficult to predict the winner or lose."
Jiang Yang entered the gun training chart to warm up briefly, and also joked, "G2 is like this, when you believe in him, he can always do a great job for you, and when you question him, he can do it again. ”
"So G2 fans can't believe that G2 will win the game."
DD was also happy to hear this: "G2 is a team that is not surprising in any competition."
All I can say is that this team is very talented.
Faze on the sub-stage also successfully won EG, but this did not surprise them.
After all, they had already received the news before the game that Bai Pangqiu in the EG team suffered from depression and was in a very sluggish state recently.
I don't think EG will have a particularly good performance in this Major. Even if they were eliminated from Jiangyang 0-3, it would not be surprising.
Jiang Yang quickly warmed up on the gun training map. His hands felt a little sore from playing and he stopped immediately.
He sat up straight involuntarily, glanced at the situation opposite, and saw Elige sitting on the opposite panel.
And he found that the distance between Elige and the screen was more than one meter. Can he see clearly?
And he felt that Elige wanted to be farther away, mainly because the table limited the distance between the monitors.
It's so outrageous.
Just when Jiang Yang was thinking about it, the BP of this game finally started.
Seeing the way Ming Riqing walked with wind when she came back, Jiang Yang joked: "What do you mean, are you going to say that your left hand can't work again this time?"
Tomorrow Qing replied: "My left hand is definitely not good, but my success this time has little to do with my hand."
"I made a move, and the opponent made a fist, so this time it was the fist that didn't work."
"It's a bunch of nonsense, it's all about the sword!" Jiang Yang said boldly, and then he was punched twice.
Then the game BP officially started.
"As discussed? Take a gamble?" MO looked at Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang took a breath and said, "You can give it a try."
After the MO was confirmed, the mansion and the town of Purgatory were directly removed.
……
In a certain fish 6657 live broadcast room, when the player saw this BP, he immediately became energetic: "What does this mean? The amusement park was directly released?"
The Amusement Park map has not been played by Steel Helm since entering the Major. It is really a bit bold to release it directly this time.
However, there is a wealth of information about playing machines, and he still analyzed the idea of Steel Helmet: "The map pools of the two teams actually have some overlap and conflicts, so Steel Helmet thought that Liquid did not like playing this map, so Liquid Helmet took the initiative to block the map. ”
"But the liquid also released the amusement park, and removed the Lost City, the Ruins, and Sha Er." Playing Machine took a breath.
"Then it won't be easy to handle now."
In the end, two maps were left: Nuclear Crisis and Death Amusement Park.
When encountering this kind of real first-line team, it is difficult to do BP. They have carefully calculated today. If they follow the regular ban map, the final game map will most likely be the town and nuke.
But these two maps are also Liquid’s strongest maps in recent times.
They have watched the game videos, and even if they are in a sluggish state, Liquid's performance on these maps is still very impressive.
So they could only find another way and try to find a map with relatively poor liquids and where Jiang Yang could perform well.
Finally, it was decided on the Death Amusement Park.
For this reason, they have been practicing crazy for a while in the past two days.
The map of Death Amusement Park can actually be played with steel helmets.
It’s just that there is no need to select them domestically, and there is no advantage to selecting them abroad.
But when encountering a team like Liquid that is also not good at this map, their tactical capabilities are directly reduced to the same level, and they are just competing on personal abilities.
So in the end BP ended, and the game map stayed in the death amusement park.
Jiang Yang clearly felt that the liquid opposite him glanced this way in surprise.
They seemed a little worried, thinking that the helmets were hiding something big.
However, the game map has been determined, and it is impossible to go back and re-BP. Players from both sides can only enter the service map of the Death Amusement Park one by one.
……
Steel Helmet vs. Liquid
Map: Death Amusement Park
T：captainMO、DD、xiaosage、young、Karsa
CT: Fallen, Elige, Grim, NAF, Stewie2K
The game officially begins!
Although they practiced intensively for two days, they don't have many tactics on this map, and the good news is that the opponent probably doesn't have many either.
Therefore, MO chose to play a simpler tactic - mute the second time to directly explode the bomb to raise B, and let the marksmanship do the talking.
"This round of liquid starts with a tactic designed to focus on sewer defense. They want to defend against those who run the map on the opponent's opponent." Playing Machine analysis said, "They thought that the opponent will start the sewer in this game and focus on the middle lane. They will run the map first to get information and then come back. Fight.”
"But the steel helmet is not as complicated as they thought, so they just chose to raise B in one wave!"
Playing Machine laughed and said: "It just so happened that they released all point B this time! The helmet easily occupied point B, and the liquid could only rely on two sets of props to return to defense!"
"Stewie2K, who is only on the first floor, is trying to collect tolls, but the handsome guy underwater has already touched his face. He can hit the gun at close range and kill him instantly with a headshot!!"
Seeing that the brothers at point B successfully occupied the package point and got the first kill, Jiang Yang felt that the pressure was not so great.
He thought for a while and communicated with the MO: "Captain, I will go to the construction site to cut off my hand first. You don't need to shoot again. After I finish the first wave, I will find a way out."
What Jiang Yang considered was that if he killed one or two of the opponents at the construction site, then the opponents would definitely be in a hurry to replenish their guns, and the MO would be able to steal from behind.
This map has a lot of small structure maps, so it is very suitable for this kind of local small coordination.
Jiang Yang walked quietly to a small corner of the construction site. He squatted and quietly pointed in the direction of the sewer exit.
Soon the door was pushed open and Jiang Yang also raised his concentration.
A large number of footsteps could be heard near the crosshair. Jiang Yang saw the CT taking off and fired directly.
The opponent passed him sideways, and Jiang Yang seized the opportunity and Glock fired wildly, finally killing him the moment he landed and turned his head.
Then he opened fire and aimed at a CT who was holding two guns and looking towards him. Relying on the Glock's firing rate, Jiang Yang gave him a shot before he hit the ground.
Although he was surprised that Glock didn't kill him at this distance, he immediately lowered his sight and shot him in the chest.
[Young used Glock to kill Grim with a headshot]
[Young used Glock to kill NAF with a headshot]
Elige saw two teammates dying suddenly one after another, and he immediately pulled out and tried to retake the shot. However, he was too close at this angle, so it was a bit troublesome to retake the shot immediately.
Elige just wanted to jump directly onto the railing and fire as much as he wanted.
He immediately jumped up like a god of war.
Then Ares sleeps.
【Young killed Elige with a headshot using Glock】
"Liquid didn't pay attention to the blind spot in the sewer, and his cousin caught a great opportunity. Glock dropped three in a row in seconds!"
"The godfather finally succeeded in re-shooting, but my cousin's mission has been completed!"
Wanmai said excitedly: "The location of the final construction site has been locked, does the godfather still come to operate it?"
"Although he knows that there is no chance in this endgame, the godfather still wants to fight!"
"The Godfather forcibly fired one, but the MO had already touched it from the short barrel, and shot it directly to the Godfather."
The score reached 1:0, and the Steel Helmets won the pistol round, which was very comfortable.
But when playing the machine, I couldn't help but make a sharp comment: "stewie2K's performance is too outrageous, just B can protect himself on the B1 floor."
"If you fail to protect yourself, you will die and your gun position will be lost."
"This is really a bit sick."
After winning the pistol round, Jiang Yang made a brief adjustment and directly obtained a fully armored AK47.
Knowing that the opponent would be strong at this point, they were very cautious at the beginning.
Jiang Yang waited in the bandit's mouth for a while. The sniper rifle on this map was still used quite frequently.
Before the game, he also saw the video of Godfather on this map.
I know he likes to step on balloons to snipe.
So he deliberately waited for a move at the beginning to confirm that no props were lost on the other side. Then he faced the wall and made subtle adjustments.
For players like him and NIKO who are good at previewing, previewing is a very simple matter as long as they familiarize themselves with the map and build a model of the map in their minds.
After adjusting the preview, Jiang Yang pulled hard to the left.
Make an emergency stop and fine-tune the moment you meet someone.
"Bang!"
Stewie2K, who was standing on the balloon with a bird sniper, couldn't even make a move to shoot. He only heard the sound of an AK hitting his head and was instantly knocked away.
He clenched his fists instantly, this wave of peek was really scary.
Elige, who came to act as his bodyguard at the entrance of the middle road, immediately peeked out and tried to give the bandit a time to come out.
Soon he did see Young coming out of the gangster's mouth, and he shot him with a shot.
Then it seemed as if some defensive counterattack mechanism was triggered.
After he fired this shot, the opponent stopped instantly and killed him instantly.
After Elige was killed, he covered his face and smiled bitterly.
The young man's reaction was also extremely quick.
"My cousin used AK to kill two people in the middle. The concept of ECO round is really powerful. Although this one is strictly a strong start, but with a pistol, it is an ECO round." Play with machines as well. Started a thread on the forum.
At the same time, DD who was behind the construction site grabbed Grim who was pushing out from the front.
In an instant, the situation reached 5 versus 2. MO directly asked the helmets to gather outside B, and a wave of people was crushed and pushed directly over.
This point was won with a strong start. Although Liquid found some opportunities in the following economic round, in the end they only managed to save an AK47.
The Steel Helmets won the first three rounds in a row, and the game was about to enter the first long gun round.
