CS: What does it mean to become Jiahao and then kill indiscriminately?

Back to the official training room provided by ESL.

Gum started training for the competition.

CNCS's start can't be said to be too late; it has been involved in CS-related projects for a very long time.

But the club's entire system is incredibly brutal, to what extent...

It's roughly the same level as an internet cafe team.

The boss recruited five Chinese players with good marksmanship to play professionally, found a few people in the industry to vouch for them, and found someone who knows the sport well to be the coach. The rest is up to these players' luck.

Compared to its sibling project Dota 2, the rapid growth of Dota 2, due to the abundance of talent, has produced many excellent teams. These teams, supported by prize money, gradually gained financial backing and established self-sufficient businesses, eventually becoming more formalized.

However, the CS game has never been formalized, from clubs to players.

Because CNCS is always getting crushed, there's simply no chance to win prize money by competing.

Nowadays, with the lower barrier to entry for stickers, and the elimination of Major qualifiers, even low-budget teams can produce stickers, these CNCS clubs are slowly starting to look more professional.

However, the early years of unregulated growth have left these domestic clubs and players lagging behind their international counterparts in every aspect of professionalization.

Gum's training was meticulous, and they repeatedly analyzed the demos from the past few days that resulted in victories against NAVI and NiP.

Analyze which players should not move in a certain position, how players in that position should correct their individual details, how they should wait, how they should coordinate, and how to optimize the details of flashing when crossing points.

Let's review these matches and see where we could have played better.

In terms of work attitude, Gum is dedicated and impeccable, but Wan Kaizhao sees this kind of training as an ineffective review.

Off the field, no matter how detailed or serious these contents are, when it comes to the competition, can we actually do what is said in the training?

Let's not even talk about Wan Kaizhao yet.

Each of the LVG team members felt they had seized some incredible timing during the match, and then they went out to engage in gunfights.

The more you try to mold these people into a team with a specific playing style, the more rigid it becomes.

You should focus on what makes you win games and amplify that strength. If you can't change your weaknesses, then don't change them.

Mongolian CS isn't necessarily won through teamwork; it's all about the guns in your hands.

Now, discipline is emphasized. After the game, people think they shouldn't have risked their lives and should have cooperated with their teammates. They dare not fight when they should, and they fight when they shouldn't.

From Wan Kaizhao's perspective.

Play however you feel comfortable.

The same applies to the roles of commanders and coaches.

Their role is to make the players feel comfortable and maximize each player's abilities, not to force them to do or be expected to do certain things.

Wan Kaizhao went online to learn about the global landscape of Counter-Strike.

And the opponents he will face next.

He logged onto the Hltv website.

Currently, the world's number one ranked team is NAVI, followed by Spirit, a team with a black dragon head logo. Below them are teams like The-MongolZ, Eternal-Fire, Mouz, and FaZe.

NAVI's points are not very stable; they are not in first place by a wide margin, and they seem to be on the verge of collapse, with the points of the teams behind them being very close.

Wan Kaizhao searched for Eternal Flame.

It was discovered that the average age of this team is relatively high, but they are all from the same language family and hometown CS. They have consistently made it into the top four in recent major tournaments, which has resulted in them accumulating a high score.

However, while Eternal Flame possesses a certain level of competitiveness, it always seems to fall just short in the race for the championship.

On Hltv's homepage, there is also a news article about Eternal Flame, saying that the club is experiencing financial difficulties and plans to sell all the players in its Turkish roster, while a club called Aurora is interested in recruiting them.

But for some reason, Turkish fans were extremely dissatisfied with this, and many criticized the Eternal Flame players for not being professional enough.

It is said that Aurora's parent company is a Russian-owned business registered in Serbia.

The historical relationship between Turks and Russians is relatively poor, and many Turkish fans believe that the players of Eternal Flame are working for Russian bosses for money.

This matter has caused quite an unpleasant situation.

Even though this Turkish team is the Turkish national team, the news that Aurora intends to buy the entire Eternal Flame roster has made many Turks quite resistant to their home team, which is active in top-tier competitions.

During this period, the players of Eternal Flame have been causing trouble everywhere in the competition, and have had verbal disputes and even conflicts with many teams. It is very likely that things off the field have interfered with them.

Of course, their record also improved with each match. Perhaps they were too eager to prove their worth and strength, and reaching the semi-finals in several consecutive tournaments propelled them into the top three in the world.

Aside from not winning the championship, their overall competitiveness is extremely formidable.

Like that interview with Wan Kaizhao.

They really ran right into the line of fire of this Turkish team.

On the second day of the competition.

Woxic's eyes were fixed on Wan Kaizhao, who was sitting on the LVG team's bench.

The first map chosen is Anubis, a map that LVG can play well on, and also a strong map for Eternal Flame.

As for the first ban of each side.

Eternal Flame doesn't fight Ancient Ruins, and LVG doesn't fight Desert City.

After both teams tacitly banned the maps they wouldn't play, LVG picked Dust 2.

In recent matches, LVG has a very high win rate on Dust 2, while they have won all their Ancient Ruins matches, but the wins have been rather abstract.

Eternal Flame could pull off a surprise move by releasing Ancient Relics to ban LVG's Sand II.

However, Woxic believes that banning the map like this is tantamount to admitting that he is afraid of the opponent's Sand II.

Their team's second-in-command is also quite strong.

Why are these gunfight and sniper maps banned?

Yes, LVG's ancient ruins are terrible, but they don't fight them. They're just playing on their opponents' weak points, which is also playing on their own.

In this map of Sand Two, they are strong, but my sword is not necessarily at a disadvantage.

They are truly unafraid of gunfights.

And the last picture.

The map chosen by the two teams is Infernal Town.

A picture selection that everyone can accept.

Enter the game.

During warm-up.

While the LVG team players were still AFK, the Eternal Flame players came over to practice their skills.

They blocked their respawn point and kept practicing their shooting.

Gum anticipated that his opponent would choose the Anubis map, and therefore made several countermeasures.

The strength of the Eternal Flame map lies in its high win rate when defending against Anubis.

This is a generally accepted attack map.

It's normal for you to be good at offense, but if you can score points on defense and hold onto those points, then this map can be considered strong.

The other party selects an image.

LVG chooses sides.

Watermelon means to choose offense first. Let's see if we can start the game on this map and overwhelm the opponent.

If you get 8 points first, and then get a pistol in the second half, your chances of winning are very high.

Everyone accepted the proposal.

The pistol round in the first half.

Xigua sent Wan Kaizhao and Sanye Kongzhong, A University sent two, and B University sent one free agent.

The main target is area A.

But Eternal Flame didn't waste any words, immediately launching an anti-Qing attack in the middle lane and throwing away a Flash.

XANTARES, Türkiye's most ruthless man, is known for his explosive power.

Wan Kaizhao was hit by a full-fledged white flash and was instantly killed without any chance to fight back.

Sanye missed her follow-up shot, and then the teammate behind the ruthless player, along with the ruthless player himself, finished her off.

We lost control of the mid lane map right away, and were forced to launch a full-scale attack on point A.

Woxic, positioned at the A-point, stood behind the fountain on the stone pillar. Hearing his opponent's footsteps, he pulled out his P200 and fired another shot.

Flying also collapsed.

The watermelon was finished off again.

EmiliaQAQ, the free agent who was only able to make moves in area B, looked left and right and then moved towards the middle.

The ruthless man retreated to the back of the central area, blocking the passageway leading to the connection between Area B and the central area.

Another shot to the head.

In the pistol round, LVG suffered a complete defeat.

Not one person will be replaced.

It started with a shooting extravaganza.

In matches like this, where the first encounter is a decisive victory, the intensity skyrockets.
