Chapter 54: First Round vs. Team X
“It’s no different abroad.”
Arrival in Copenhagen.
Everything abroad made Luo Chong and others curious, but after looking around, they finally found that it was not as comfortable as at home.
A bit of a sense of discomfort.
I couldn't understand what they were saying, I just knew it was birds chirping.
They don't speak the same language, none of them knows English, and they can only say a few simple words like "nice", "Gu Dou Mo Ni", "good oil", "compression belt", etc.
As the team leader, Li Qin was the one who communicated throughout the entire process.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether they will not be able to find the official PGL personnel.
We went to the players' hotel and completed the check-in procedures. Everything went so smoothly.
“There is a practice room specially arranged by PGL for players in the hotel.”
"You can use it anytime."
Li Qin translated what the staff said to Luo Chong and others.
"That's okay."
Wang Jie's eyes lit up.
"People say this is the most basic equipment requirement."
Li Qin added.
"Oh, so that's how it is. This is our first time participating in a formal competition, so we don't know all these intricacies."
“You’ll get used to it after participating more often.”
Luo Chong added.
He knew nothing about these things. After all, he had never seen them before. He just kept it to himself and didn't say anything.
"Do you guys want to go out for a walk?"
Li Qin asked.
"No, I'm going to go check out the venue first, then take some time to rest, and then play some games to get some feel for it."
Luo Chong shook his head. He was not very interested in the outside world. The most urgent task was to adapt to the time difference abroad.
I took a flight for more than ten hours.
I'm so tired.
"Listen to Brother Chong."
Everyone had no objection. The competition was the most important thing. If anyone wanted to go shopping, there would be plenty of time after the competition.
What surprised Luo Chong and the others was that.
I met many well-known players in the hotel.
"Electronics brother!"
As soon as Han Ping saw the C9 team and the figure of Brother Electronic, he immediately became excited.
ElectroNic.
Known as the Electronic Tyrant, he has been famous for a long time and is favored and loved by countless players.
He is also a very popular player in CNCS and is a top-level rifleman.
In the NAVI era, countless legendary scenes were created.
Of course, there are countless famous scenes of unlucky people.
Exclusive titles such as grenade enthusiast and radar eater.
Luo Chong and the others were also a little excited. It was the first time they saw the top players whom they had only seen in live broadcasts and videos before.
"Why don't you go get an autograph?"
Wang Jie instigated Han Ping.
Han Ping really did it and asked Li Qin to help with the translation.
As a result, there was no need for translation at all. As soon as Brother Electronic saw Han Ping take out something, he knew what to do.
After signing, Brother Electronic said something.
Han Ping didn't understand and looked at Li Qin.
"He said, you are also contestants."
"Yes." Han Ping nodded and said, "We are also a major team, playing in the opening match."
"real or fake?"
Brother Electronic was a little bit unconvinced. Standing on the side were Ale, Hobbit, Marshal P, and Fatty. They all found it hard to believe.
These young CN guys are actually from the major tournament team.
"Of course it's true. We are CXG. You should have seen the first round match information of the opening match."
"We fight HEROIC."
That is Team X.
"Oh, I remember now." Fatty said, "I saw your report on HLTV."
"You guys are amazing. You qualified for the major tournament with a perfect record."
Brother Electronics held out his hand and said, "Good luck to you. HEROIC is a very strong team."
"Thank you for your reminder." After a brief chat, the two sides parted ways.
"I've come to the scene to chase my idol, I'll show off to anyone who can beat me."
Han Ping held Brother Electronic's signature and couldn't let it go. He immediately took out his mobile phone, took a photo, wrote the copy and sent it out.
Luo Chong shook his head slightly and said nothing.
There's nothing wrong with that.
After all, they all watch the games of European teams.
A powerful CIS player, he has a huge number of fans in CNCS.
Luo Chong also likes a series of top players such as Sen Zai.
He is very philanthropic and likes whoever is stronger.
There's nothing wrong with it.
"I don't know if I can meet Zaiwu, and I don't know if Senpo is there."
Wang Jie is a fan of Mori Zai.
"I want to meet NIKO." Zhao Liang is a NIKO fan, and he wants his rifle to be just as scary as NIKO's.
"Just fight and you'll meet them. Why are you so worried?"
Luo Chong said calmly: "Kill them, and then ask them for their autographs."
"I guess they're all confused."
Whenever he thought of that scene, he found it extremely funny.
"Yes, Brother Chong is right."
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
……
Get familiar with the venue, adjust to the time difference, and keep your touch.
This is what Luo Chong and his team need to do now.
Of course, with the arrival of batches of team players.
They were dazzled and excited, and would post photos and other things on their social media accounts from time to time.
"No, are you going there to compete, or to chase stars?"
"Good fellow, the usual methods of chasing stars are not enough for you, so you just chase them directly to the competition field?"
"This star-chasing method is unheard of. I can only be convinced."
"Practice well and stay in shape. You are representing our CNCS. Don't embarrass yourself."
"Focus on it, please. I know you can't beat Team X, but don't lose too badly."
Ever since the first round matchup information came out, CNCS players have been sighing.
That's Team X.
A regular participant in various major competitions, a team ranked in the top ten in the world, an absolute top team.
When Brother Dianzi was there, they even won the runner-up in the Rio major.
Although Brother Dianz has been backstabbed by Snake and Rat and Gong is gone, the strength of Team X should not be underestimated and is definitely not something that Team CN can contend with.
Therefore, CNCS players all hold the mentality that it is okay to lose as long as the loss is not too ugly.
After all, the gap is there, and forcing CXG to win is an excessive idea.
They feel that they are magnanimous enough and do not make random comments or slander others.
Now we see CXG, who occasionally posts photos of other top players, satisfying their curiosity and seeing the status of the players off the field.
Of course I am happy.
But I feel angry about CXG's lax attitude.
CXG has been labeled as not doing its job properly.
Some people even said that if they had known what CXG was like, they would have let LVG go.
I completely forgot that CXG was able to go to Copenhagen because of its strength.
Not just anyone can go if they want to.
Luo Chong ignored the voices at home and continued to follow their own pace.
The format of the opening match is the Swiss round.
Except for the promotion and knockout rounds which are BO3, the rest are BO1.
Regardless of whether CXG wins the first round against Team X.
As long as they can win three games, they can advance to the Legend Group, which is the knockout stage.
But three wins is not easy.
If we win the first round, we will have to play the team with a score of 1:0 in the second round.
After winning the second round, we will play another BO2 against the team with a score of 0:3.
A team that can win two games in a row is enough to show its strength.
In such a strong confrontation, the pressure and intensity are at their maximum.
