Chapter 647 - Divide the territory
"This grouping is really......
The domestic media are a little unacceptable!
Both the LOL project and the Dota 2 project can be said to be signed, and sure enough, the feng shui takes turns, and the group of death is transferred to the PUBG side!
In fact, the group stage is crucial.
The first is to eliminate half of the teams, followed by 1/4 in the upper bracket and 1/4 in the lower bracket.
If you enter the upper bracket on the first day, the rest of the game should be much easier, so the goal of the Chinese team in the group stage is to finish in the top 4.
But in Group A, the group of death, it can be said that except for the two teams in Brunei, Japan, which are more fishy, the other teams have the power to fight!
Even Greece and Estonia, ranked 40+ in the world, have good coordination and strength, and have also entered the top 16 in the European Championship in the past two years.
In this way, I think that once there is a battle in Group A, it is impossible to solve it quickly, which will directly affect the strategy of the next step!
However, the domestic media is so pessimistic, Mao Xiaomo feels a little unimpressed.
The current positive strength of the Chinese team can be said to be comparable to these first-line teams, and it is really uncertain which is stronger or weaker.
And the world's No. 1 Finnish team is not known for its positive strength, they are full of command, cooperation and overall view are very good, so they defended the European Cup, and many first-line players in the European Cup did not participate.
For example, Norway's Jeemzz and Rain, so the world ranking can only be used as a reference.
To be honest, Mao Xiaomo thinks that there are only about 3-4 teams in the Chinese team that are really suffering head-on.
Norway with Jeemzz and Rain, Brazil with all CSGO turns, the USA with Iron, Mathe and others, and Russia, ranked second in the world.
To be honest, Mao Xiaomo was not sure that he could win.
As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
Now that the grouping has been decided, no matter how much you complain, it will only affect your mentality, and there is no great point.
The strong team readily accepted it, and the weak team also accepted it.
It's also an honor to be able to play against so many strong teams in the Group of Death, and there is no pressure to score points, as long as you play your own thing, you will definitely be praised when you return home.
As soon as the lottery ceremony ended, many Chinese reporters gathered around and snapped a beat.
"Hello Team Mo, what do you think of the Chinese team in the group of death."
"Hello Team Mo, what do you think are the main opponents of the Chinese team in the group?"
"Team Mo takes up a little bit of your time, do you think it is difficult for the Chinese team to qualify from the group?"
……
Because LOL and Dota 2 are both perfectly grouped, and PUBG is full of topicality, Mao Xiaomo has also become the protagonist of this interview.
Leader Shi of the General Administration of Chinese E-sports waved his hand and said:
"Everyone asks one by one, and we will try to answer them."
After being affirmed by the leaders, this group of reporters also had order and asked questions one after another.
Mao Xiaomo kept replying:
"There's nothing we can do about the group of death, so let's be ourselves and play our best."
"The main opponents are Britain, France, Russia, Finland, and Norway."
"There must be difficulties, the foundation of Chinese FPS is not very deep, and many CSGO professional players have successfully transformed this time, and the process may be difficult."
……
asked a few questions in a row, and Mao Xiaomo answered them very decently.
Before answering the question, the leader warned Mao Xiaomo not to be too arrogant when he was interviewed.
In the past, whether it was on CD, IFCD or Liquid, Mao Xiaomo's interview was too crazy, this is a CCTV interview, it is for the whole Chinese people to see.
And most importantly, if the team loses, it will send you straight to hell when you turn over this interview.
The old people often can't talk too much, and the young people don't understand, and as elders, they must be reminded.
"Okay, then I wish the Chinese e-sports team a good result!"
I asked Maybe and UZI a few more questions, and finally all the reporters said so!
"Thank you."
……
The next few days will not be completely immersed in training, makeup photos, promotional videos will also be taken, and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will also have to be rehearsed, and then wait for the start of the Olympic Games.
After the Chinese esports team returned to the training base, the dedicated data analysis team also began to study their respective opponents!
The work efficiency is very fast, but it is only data collation, and the overall tactical style and thinking cannot be seen in black and white.
The PUBG coaching staff with 4 team members studied the information of the opponents in the group.
Sometimes at the moment of encountering an opponent, both the commander and the players must know in their hearts whether the battle can be fought and how to fight.
"It's still these teams that are more powerful head-on."
"And France."
"It's amazing."
With so many teams, the Chinese team is also very patient.
As far as their group is concerned, the frontal strength is in the first grade, that is, about the 5 teams, of course, the study of the positive strength is in the case of command and selection without loss, which should also be regarded as the biggest advantage of the Chinese team.
Whether it is Mao Xiaomo or Wang Hao, they are all leaders in their respective positions.
However, the FPS is still dominated by head-to-head combat.
The world's No. 1 Finnish team can only be said to be a team with average overall strength, similar to a team of FaZe, this kind of team has no weaknesses, but also no strong points, more like a shield.
The overall strength of the Russian team is strong, the overall style is a little reckless, and it is also the style of the Russian side, 3 of the 4 players are CSGO transformations, positive and macho men.
The Norwegian team is a two-core team, Jeemzz and Rain, which is more attacking.
The French team also has good players such as NaVi player Shiv, and the Italian team is not very weak.
In general, except for the English team, which is a bit overrated, the other teams are a bit of a thing.
The United Kingdom is led by Scoom, the former Liquid conductor, and now the EG conductor, the command style is relatively conservative, and the frontal strength is very strong, but the overall strength of the team is not as good as that of France and Norway.
But let's not forget that there are only six games in the group stage, and anything is possible, no one can say.
Even the world No. 1 Finland could be out of the group.
This Olympics is different from the previous professional arenas.
There are too many SSS-level pros in this Olympics, too many!
They are a large number of CSGO professional players who have transformed into players, as a traditional FPS project, CSGO projects have always had the most FPS talents, after the transformation began at the beginning of this year, in more than half a year, a large number of talented FPS talents have played.
At that time, Liquid could be said to have no opponents, and even well-known CSGO professional players such as Niko and Rain were beaten on PCI2.
But after all this time, these players are no longer what they used to be.
As long as they are paired with a good conductor, their positive strength is terrifying!
This is also the reason why Mao Xiaomo feels that the group stage will be very difficult.
In the past, there were a number of SSS-level professional players in Europe and the United States, but there were not too many, and now the SSS is really everywhere, and the 4 SSS-level professional players in the first team are standard.
Otherwise, with the current strength of the Chinese team, there should be no opponents in the competition a year ago.
After shooting promotional photos and videos in the afternoon, Jeemzz contacted Mao Xiaomo in the evening.
Jeemzz means 16 teams in the group stage playing two training sets!
Mao Xiaomo was not surprised, in fact, this training match is not a real training match, simply put, it is a default training for the purpose of dividing the territory.
As an opponent, it is impossible for everyone to chat with the opponent, where I jump, where you jump.
But if you don't say it, if you clash in the group stage, it's equivalent to giving away a game for nothing!
What does it mean to give away a plate for free......
There are 6 plates in total, and 1 plate for free feels half cool.
Therefore, before the competition, we all organized a training tournament that everyone defaulted to, and there was almost no intention of real training, mainly to divide the territory.
"In this kind of competition, everyone won't show real skills, so it's good to relax and play, and there is no reference value."
Mao Xiaomo said to a few players who were not very familiar with the training matches in Europe and the United States.
"Both the rhythm and the style of play of the team are very different from the official game, and we just play according to our own style of play."
"We'll do it when we find a team and test their positive strength."
Mao Xiaomo said.
The host opened by the Norwegian team, each team came in, a total of 15 teams, one less Russia, maybe there was no contact or some other reason, but the impact on the overall situation was not very big, Russia jumped P City in the previous game, although it was a year ago.
At the beginning of the game, China still jumped the airport, and there was no team to compete with them.
In this way, the Chinese team breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was no problem with their jump point, and there was no need to change it.
That's the purpose, and at the end of the second set, you can roughly know the jump points of each team by studying the two videos.
In the first set of the game, the Chinese team mainly found the mountains after entering the circle and had a head-to-head match with the French team!
Wave 3 for 4!
In the end, only Zhou Lili survived in the Chinese team, and there was no much reference value in the future.
In the second set, the Chinese team first easily eliminated the Japanese team, and then had a head-to-head confrontation with the old rival Norway team!
Obviously, the Norwegian team also wanted to play a formal interview to test the strength of other teams, but they did not expect to try the old rival Chinese team, and the two teams can be said to know each other very well.
