CSGO: This player is too obedient!

"Zeus!! You're playing..." After a training match, S1mple finally couldn't help but start red, and turned around to curse.

"Is there something wrong?" Zeus asked with a very gentle expression.

Looking at the NAVI short-sleeve that was about to explode, S1mple's expression suddenly calmed down and he shook his head sincerely: "It's okay, I just want to praise you for your good play."

"It's not that good. I feel like my timing was too bad on a few waves." Zeus laughed while rubbing his head.

At this moment, S1mple finally understood why the CIS commanders like to train their muscles.

The clear thinking is to reason with them, and the outrageous muscles are to reason with them when the reason does not make sense.

Under the intimidation of Zeus' iron fist, S1mple was forced to become sensible.

But he was still depressed and speechless. Looking at the smiling Huo Man beside him, he suddenly became angry:

"Huo Man, what are you laughing at? Did you play well just now? The iron plate was lost once!"

Fire Man: "..."

There were big question marks in his little eyes. He had defended the iron plate for 15 rounds. Wouldn't it be okay if he was knocked out once?

Is the record of 30 rounds and 21/3/16 bad?

"What are you looking at?" Zeus also asked after the training match was temporarily over.

The smile returned to the face of the fire man, and he replied to Zeus: "This MIBR was beaten by VP in the Zotac Cup."

"ah!!"

They were quite surprised to hear the news.

They all know about the Hong Kong Zotac Cup. After all, this is the only recent international competition. Although the overall level of the competition is not high, the exaggerated prize money still makes them envious.

When they were bored, they each talked about the strength of the participating teams this time.

Then a common answer was given - MIBR used to be about picking up money!

MIBR is currently ranked 7th in the world!

On HLTV, if the world rankings are roughly divided, there will be several tiers with huge differences in strength.

But the top 5 of HLTV rankings belong to T0.

No. 5-10 belong to T1.

No. 10-20 is T2.

The strength of the teams after 20 is uneven.

Apart from MIBR, the strongest players in this tournament are Tian Lu, ranked 12th in the world, and VP, ranked 19th in the world.

Tianlu was eliminated early, and VP, in their opinion, could not affect MIBR's path to making money.

"What's going on?" S1mple's original anger was shocked by this sudden news, "How can MIBR still lose? The VP odds are full?"

Ignoring the joke behind S1mple, Huo Nan looked at the match report and said: "VP's newcomers performed well and forcibly awakened the status of several other VP players."

He turned to look at S1mple: "That's that Nice. That day, the two of us and ropz were in the third row. Weren't we beaten by Zaiwu and Nice?"

"Oh! I have an impression of this." S1mple recalled that he was not in a good state that day and gave ropz a hard time.

Huo Nan continued: "It's outrageous. A BO3 got 83 kills, and a breakthrough player averaged a rating of 1.42. MIBR can't limit that guy."

"Hiss..." Everyone in the NAVI training room took a breath.

Zeus frowned and said curiously: "Where did this pasha find such a talented player?"

"I think I met him on Faceit, so I dragged him to a trial training." Huo Nan replied.

They also knew about this situation. At that time, VP found a substitute who stretched his hips, but they never found a good supplementary player.

Zeus also didn't expect that Pasha would be so reckless now and directly look for someone on Faceit.

And most importantly, he really found it!

Looking at this record, he is still a very talented young man.

"Why do you feel like you know everything?" Edward patted the hot man on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"You know, I get along well with people." Huo Nan smiled implicitly. He was not bragging. He even knew the birthdays of every professional guy he knew.

S1mple looked at the briefing on Huo Nan's phone and was also happy: "Now MIBR is going to be laughed at by the crowd. It's a rare big upset!"

Then he took out his cell phone and started editing.

Edward came over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Do you still need to ask? Of course I'm just joining in the fun!" S1mple said matter-of-factly.

Edward was a little speechless. He finally understood why S1mple was so strong but not popular in the professional arena.

…

Everyone in VP was happy for their victory.

Taz, who has already qualified for the finals, is in a very complicated mood.

After spending many years together day and night, the relationship between Taz, Pasha and others is not that of relatives, but it is better than relatives.

But at the end of their career, they fell apart because of a 500,000-yuan Mercedes-Benz. The blame came from him, but not only from him.

Before the 2017 DreamHack Masters, the boss of VP publicly stated that if five people could win the competition, he would randomly give away a Mercedes-Benz worth half a million yuan.

They also successfully won the championship in that competition, because there was only one Mercedes-Benz, so they gave Taz, who had better statistics in the competition, but in fact, the one who played a greater role in that competition was NEO who was the conductor at the time.

After that incident, a violent quarrel broke out within the VP team, and NEO was no longer willing to be the leader.

The rest of the team seemed to have a problem in their throats, and they were separated from Taz. In the end, the VP who was only one step away from the Major championship no longer existed.

He was originally responsible for the continuous decline in VP's performance. Countless late nights, Taz wondered, if he hadn't been so greedy at the time and chose to trade the Mercedes-Benz to the entire team, would his prefix still be VP now?

But after waking up from his dream, Taz understood that his prefix was no longer VP, and there was no regret medicine in this world.

Tomorrow's game will be an alliance between old friends, and also a crossfire of revenge for everyone in VP.

Taz was a little nervous, but also a little looking forward to it.

VP's wonderful performance reminded him of his past glory, but he knew that only one person would be able to stand at the end tomorrow, and he wanted to win that trophy!

So, pasha, NEO, Byali, are you ready to become a rival?

…

After being interviewed by the event officials, Xu Beifang met an acquaintance when leaving the field - Li Wenzhe, who had worked as a commentator at IEM Shanghai.

The two said hello, and then Li Wenzhe conducted a brief interview with him as a reporter.

After IEM Shanghai, Li Wenzhe gradually discovered that he might not be particularly suitable for the position of commentator. After all, other commentators need to be professional and neutral. He has a lot of personal work, but not enough to become an excellent commentator.

Finally, during a live broadcast, he was suggested by netizens to go to IEM Shanghai to interview some players from other teams.

He was already a staff member, and Li Wenzhe's English was also quite good, so he decided to do it instantly.

The various interviews at IEM Shanghai received good responses. Then there was a competition in Hong Kong and he didn't need to travel too far, so he applied for a visa and bought a ticket to come and conduct interviews as a staff member.

He was excited to watch VP's game backstage, and he was very happy to catch everyone in VP in the rest area.

After a brief interview, Xu Beifang left with the team.

On the way back to the hotel, everyone in VP was very happy and sang some Polish songs in the car.

Xu Beifang also shook his head, feeling so unhappy.

From the game itself, beating MIBR made them very happy.

Apart from the competition, being able to advance to the finals is also a happy fact.

Although Xu Beifang's salary level is quite good, the income source of CSGO players relies more on event bonuses, additional endorsements, live broadcasts, etc.

In a previous IEM Shanghai tournament, VP received a bonus of US$50,000.

And entering the Zotac Cup finals, they can get at least 60,000 US dollars!

If you can defeat the little penguin in tomorrow's final and become the champion, it will be 200,000 US dollars! !

In addition to being distributed to the coaching staff, each of their players can receive almost 30,000 US dollars, which is 200,000 yuan when converted into RMB!

This amount of money can directly allow Xu Beifang to pay a down payment in a city other than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!

He worked as an accountant in his previous life, and it took him three years to earn this kind of money.

Xu Beifang thought about it in his mind, and the smile on his face brightened, and he understood why everyone was so happy.

If he can win the championship tomorrow, NEO can buy the Mercedes-Benz that he once cherished with a little more money.

Pasha can use the money to buy another piano for her daughter, or buy herself a house.

For the eSports industry, they are much higher revenue sources than the general industry.

The premise is that you have the strength and can stand at the top of this industry.

Although VP is currently ranked in the top 20 in the world, there are less than 100 people ranked ahead of them. Now that they have finally achieved some results, they can get these bonuses.

What about the teams behind them?

There are countless Internet cafe teams who have died on the road for their dreams. E-sports is always cruel.

It is difficult to develop a CSGO career, and there are actually certain reasons for this.

Too many talented young people die on the road.

Not everyone has the money, energy, or time to spend on this.

E-sports can be for your dreams——

But it can’t just be dreams.

After winning this game, everyone in VP was very happy. The coach took them out for a simple late-night snack to fill their stomachs.

Immediately following Byali's suggestion, a group of people rushed back to the hotel and started training all night in the early morning.

Originally, VP didn't have much confidence in this event, but suddenly qualified for the finals. As long as he stretched out his hand, he seemed to be able to touch the trophy.

For a while, they were a little panicked because they had not had enough training before.

So although I was happy, I didn't stay at the night snack stall for long, and quickly came back to practice more.

After more than an hour of defensive practice, everyone entered a short rest time, and they were ready to go to bed in another hour.

Pasha and NEO came to the balcony. NEO took out a cigarette and lit it. He was not in a hurry to smoke, but just let the tobacco burn slowly.

In the early hours of the morning, the entire city in front of you has gone to rest, and a silence soothes people's hearts.

But NEO's mood was not calm. The breeze blew and the light of the cigarette slowly lit up. His mood was very complicated.

"Are you thinking about tomorrow's game?" Pasha asked, holding his shoulder.

"A little bit." NEO did not hide his emotions. He turned to look at the newcomers and Byali who were laughing for unknown reasons, and said: "We used to be like this too. We trained until early in the morning for competitions, laughing and playing in the training room. I don’t know when it started, but it gradually became a job.”

Pasha patted his shoulder, knowing that the incident left a knot in his heart.

"Our boss is just a brainiac. We will take the initiative to help contact him later. Nice is a good kid. Don't let him stay in VP later. MICHU should still have a contract. There is nothing we can do about it." NEO said to Pasha, " Young people trust us, so let’s not let them down.”

The VP boss is really pure. The Mercedes-Benz incident was largely the boss's problem, but later it turned into a team problem because of Taz's attitude.

It can only be said that the VP boss knows how to motivate his players.

If NEO hadn't reached the end of his career, he would have left long ago.

Pasha took the cigarette from his hand, took a puff and then coughed non-stop: "I don't know what's so good about this cigarette now, but as for Nice's plan, we both want to go together."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

VP is now unwilling to spend money to find new members, and Nice will go to jail if he stays in the team.

Originally, he was already old enough at 22 years old. If he could not go to other first-tier teams to shine, even if he had the opportunity to perform on the top stage, it would only be short-lived.

As Nice's guide, they don't want to see this happen.

Kuben, as the accompanying coach, had fallen asleep, unaware that two people were backstabbing the entire team.

After staring at the distance in a daze for a while, NEO thought of tomorrow's game and suddenly said: "Pasha, let me direct the rest of the game."

"real?"

"Did I lie to you about this kind of thing?" NEO asked.

"That's great!!" Pasha was quite happy.

Unlike the French who like to compete for command, Pasha became the commander because NEO failed in the command position and was unwilling to assume the role of this position. He was forced to take over this task.

But he also knew in his heart that compared to NEO, his command was a complete imitation!

Let’s not talk about how much energy it takes for him to command. He is not as good as NEO in terms of team management, tactical arrangements and various command tasks.

After all, NEO was the leader of VP at its peak!

NEO takes over the command position, and then he can become a sniper. It is enough to do his own tasks well, instead of having to worry about the defense on both sides while being highly focused.

"After playing this London Major, I will probably go to the second-tier team to lead the newcomers. This may be the last days for us two old guys in the game." NEO said with emotion, "If we don't go all out again , I really may not have a chance later."

"Besides, if I win tomorrow's BO3, I will add some of the bonuses from my trip to China and I can buy a Mercedes-Benz."

NEO gritted his teeth and said: "I want to earn back that Mercedes Benz by myself this time!"

…

There is another chapter in the evening. I will go out for a walk to wash my mind.
