Chapter 24 Against sAw(1/2)
Author: Youcai loves to eat beans
January 19th, the day of the semi-finals.
After the Fire eliminated SKADE yesterday, the final quarter-finals also successfully determined the teams that would advance to the semi-finals.
sAw, a veteran team from Portugal, defeated Budapest Five with a difficult score of 2:1.
Budapest Five comes from Hungary, and the core sniper in the team, Torzsi, is known as Hungary's last hope.
This team is young and full of energy. The only shortcoming is that it lacks some competition experience.
On the other hand, sAw, who has been promoted, can be called the synonym for the immortality of veterans.
The average age is 28.8 years old
Their captain Arki is now 32 years old, but he is still active in the professional arena.
At 32 years old, he is indeed considered an old man in the CSGO professional arena.
He began to become a CS professional player in 2004. At that time, Navi Junior player m0NESY was not even born...
They are experienced, calm and resilient.
Facing the young Budapest Five, he showed no weakness.
They actually used the marksmanship that they should not have at their age to defeat their opponents head-on.
This shows that they are in very good condition now.
The next semi-final match started first, against the Fire Team K23 who advanced from the same group stage, and the Spanish Movistar Riders who qualified from Group D.
The competition can be said to be completely one-sided.
K23 was beaten 16:5 by Movistar Riders on their own map Mirage.
The next Vertigo, K23 only struggled for a little while, and finally bid farewell to this game with a score of 9:16.
Movistar Riders advance to the finals.
"Movistar Riders are in really good shape, and sAw won't give in too much. How are you going to fight next?" Reoj, who appeared in the training room yesterday, will continue to appear with Hooxi today.
I took the opportunity to watch the first semi-final with the members of the Fire Team.
Reoj is the oldest player among all present, 3 years older than Hooxi, already 27 years old.
But his time to become a professional player was shorter than Hooxi's, and he was a typical late bloomer.
"Originally, I also had a headache. The problems that the team suddenly exposed are really difficult to solve." Hooxi shrugged, looking indifferent. "But it's okay now. I have already figured out how to deal with sAw."
"That's the best. I'm looking forward to your performance." Reoj patted Hooxi on the shoulder. "Come on, I won't continue to disturb your training here. Warburg should be waiting for me. I'll go and see if he is very good."
Why did you call me here?"
"You already knew that, right?" Hooxi smiled. "I feel it should be a good thing."
Of course it was impossible for Warburg to call reoj for no reason, let alone to catch up on old times.
Then there is only one answer...
Wahlberg wants to bring reoj back to the Fire.
MAD Lions, where reoj belongs, have not been doing too well recently.
After the main player Bubzkji was bought by Astralis as the sixth man on the bench, MAD Lions' performance began to plummet, and the relationship between the players began to become subtle.
And I heard that other players in the MAD Lions team have been in contact with other clubs for a long time...
After reminiscing with reoj yesterday, Hooxi was even more sure of the authenticity of this information.
Although Warburg skipped him and contacted reoj directly, it made him somewhat uncomfortable.
But I can see my old friend, and I may continue to play CSGO with him in the future.
Hooxi is still very happy.
Daffu is obviously no longer qualified for the position of breakthrough player. It's not a problem to always shake his head and go out to pull the gun line...
Since they all go out to deliver, why not find someone who can go out and cause kills?
Watching reoj leave, Hooxi immediately called his four teammates.
"Come here, let me briefly explain what you need to pay attention to when you sAw later..."
…
The time soon arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.
"Friends in the audience, good evening, welcome to sAw's match against Copenhagen Flames. This BO3 will determine the team that advances to the finals, and then they will face Movistar Riders tomorrow. I am your commentator, Daniel."
"James."
"We just got the results of BANPICK. The fire team chose... train, sAw chose inferno, and the final decisive map was Dust2."
"I'm surprised that the Fire Team actually took out the train map. As far as I know, they didn't play this map before."
"That's true, and... sAw doesn't play this map either. The Fire Team must know this."
"Oh? Then this is a bit intriguing... Did the Fire Team find the opponent's weakness? Or did it expose its own weakness? Let's wait and see..."
…
There is no doubt that the train is a police picture, and a big police picture at that.
As a static attack and defense map, it is very different from dynamic attack and defense maps such as towns and overpass.
The map is intertwined with light and dark, and the upper and lower levels of the train are clearly defined. Most places are tall and narrow train bunkers, and the several exits for the attacker are also extremely narrow.
The winning rate of the train defender is the highest among the seven currently in service maps, reaching 55.4%.
"Nicoodoz, this picture is up to you." Outside the screen, Hooxi nodded to Nicoodoz.
There is confidence in his face.
The latter could only look helpless at this time.
On the day of the game, I was informed that I would play a train, and I would temporarily talk about tactics in the afternoon, and then run the map, so I could use it to play the game.
Can it really be fought?
If he hadn't followed Hooxi for a long time and knew what he was like, and knew that he wasn't the kind of impromptu leader, Nicoodoz would have thought that this was the captain's way of messing with his teammates' mentality.
Nicoodoz likes to play trains very much, and he often comes to play in FPL-C and ladder.
But if he can, can anyone else on the team?
At this time, Daffu was also suspicious.
After the team said that the game would not be played for the time being, he did not even rank this map for the ladder.
It is really unfriendly to breakthrough players and the experience is extremely poor.
When was the last time you took a train?
Daffu can no longer remember...
But obviously Hooxi doesn't think so.
It is true that the game will not be played, but how can a professional player say which map he will not play?
Being familiar with all the maps, props, and points is the foundation of the foundation.
It's just these, plus the improvisation of the players in the team.
Will suffice.
The fire team chooses a map and takes the offensive side first.

As soon as the pistol round started, Wang Che immediately had a P250 at his feet.
"I believe you." Another cigarette smoke appeared on Hooxi's body. "Hit B as soon as Clear kills someone."
"Don't panic, the opponent's reaction and shooting skills are not as good as ours, just focus on your own."
Although Wang Che had no choice but to put aside his dissatisfaction for the time being, he could only focus all his attention on the game.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can't play it, you know everything you need to know.
Holding P250, Wang Che came to A1 and squatted on the wooden board directly holding the six-way bottom.
A grenade flew in from the bandit's mouth, but it did not destroy much of Wang Che's blood.
In the smoke and dust raised by the grenade, Wang Che immediately saw CT's small scalp exposed on the roof of the sixth car.
