Wa: It’s broken, I’ve become a cutting monster!

One is TE, a newcomer in the World Championship who is willing to give it his all and has been recognized by fans regardless of winning or losing. The other is DRX, the last hope of the Pacific Division, who will be criticized by domestic audiences if eliminated. There is an obvious difference in mentality!

Figure 13: Lotus Ancient City. Even with a very tense mentality, drx still defeated te with a score of 3:21. The whole game can be described as "miserable". Buzz's Ryze dominated the game with 15 kills. The best performer in the te team was fengf, who was also a bomb girl, but only killed people. This was the only player in the te team with a positive record...

The second map was Deep Cave, which TE was not good at. When TE faced FPX in the second stage of vctcn, TE showed a lot of problems on this map. It can even be said that he had never practiced this map. After coming to the world championship, because he appeared as the first in the group, TE had more time to prepare tactics, but that little time was not enough to practice a map tactic that could be used in the game.

Without a doubt, TE was once again defeated by DRX with a big score, losing two games in a row in bo3 and entering the loser group!

TE gives people the feeling that a group of top students have come together. They usually listen to their teachers and have good discipline. Coupled with the top students' shooting skills, TE can be said to be able to dominate the CN league except for those strong teams.

But once they arrived at the World Championship, facing teams from other regions that were also "top students", although TE was able to break through the group stage with the courage of a newborn calf, this competition was the championship after all, the most important competition of the year. The opponents would become stronger as time went on, and TE would expose more and more problems.

The first is the problem of TE's map pool. With the important town of Yuangong, the ancient city of Lotus, and a hidden monastery that entered the map pool in the new season, these are all the things TE can put on the table.

Some of the gun-fighting positioning choices are not ideal, and the coordination for follow-up fire is not fast or strong enough. There are no major problems on the large tactical level, but there is a lack of tactics for small-scale local combat, which is still a problem of experience.

The opposing players were obviously more experienced. After getting the information, they knew how to choose their positions, how to engage in close range shooting, and how to last-hit steadily. With two or three players coordinating on these small tactical details, DRX did a perfect job.

If we only refer to reaction and positioning in terms of shooting skills, there is actually not a big difference. The main reason is that the opposing players seem to know how to fight back. The main disadvantage of players like TE is that they have not played in many world competitions, and these details have not yet been implemented.

Overall, TE did not make any disciplinary mistakes. On the contrary, this match was one of the two matches in which TE showed the most discipline in this World Championship. However, when facing DRX, which had a new lineup in the new season, TE still suffered a big loss in a "small-scale" team battle.

In local 2v2 or 3v3 situations, TE's efficiency in finishing shots and the coordination between teammates were far behind DRX, which resulted in the deformation of TE's shooting skills in the subsequent period of time, making it impossible to perfectly execute tactics, which led to their defeat.

Again, you can say that discipline is important in Valorant, but the most essential thing is the gunmanship. In the face of absolute gunmanship, all tactics and discipline will become pale and powerless!

This is also the important reason why after Shan Anyang joined FPX, he was able to lead a completely unknown FPX to the championship throne within a season!

You guys cooperated very well and the props were given to you perfectly, but a single Anyang on the opposite side caught several of you. What could you do as a coach?

Can you say that there is something wrong with your tactics? Or that the players' coordination is not in place? If we only look at the reaction ability and positioning ability of the players, it is very one-sided. But if a person's reaction and positioning have reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach, then this statement is no longer one-sided...

When Valorant was first developed, Riot was aiming for global competitions. The profit from headshots is so huge that the profit ratio between headshots and body shots has reached 3:1, which will lead to the birth of a large number of hero players.

There are many duel star players like aspas, Kang Kang, Shan Anyang, and t3xture. Their extremely high headshot rates and visually impactful violent kill highlights all tell legendary stories and influence generations of players and players.

Duel, vanguard, control, sentry, each position will have its own responsibilities and tasks in the game. At the same time, because of the different personal playing styles of the players, different players in the same department are further divided. This is why the Valorant competition has a flourishing scene.

Take the duel position for example, the types like Aspas and Kang Kang are obvious "heroic" duels. They bear a considerable amount of killing tasks in the team, and the team's resources and props are also more inclined towards them.

The duel players headed by demon1 are a little different. Although they also undertake important killing tasks, they prefer stable killing and are more inclined to the word "turret".

Dan Anyang is a complete killing machine, and does not need too many props from the team. Anyway, he just enters the point and starts killing. The main thing is a "breakthrough". If you enter the point and change another one, you will make a lot of money. If you are killed in seconds but get the information, you will also make money!

But no matter what kind of duel it is, they all have the same characteristic, that is "courage"!

No matter how many people or props are defending the last point, as long as the team needs it, they will definitely be the first to enter the point and pull the gun line. Rather than saying that the players choose "duel", it is better to say that "duel" chooses the players...

Just like in TE's game in Deep Cave in map 2, Xiaokai's Jiefeng still took on the task of advancing the team and pulling the gun line when the team was far behind in score and obviously behind the opponent in economy, even though his number of kills and deaths was the highest in the game!

Lost, weak, but never cowarded. This may be the meaning of "duel". Although TE lost miserably to DRX and their championship journey has ended, TE's future is still waiting for them not far away.

Thinking too much will only lead to regrets, and doing too much will only lead to answers. Whether people have the courage to pursue what they believe in and put it into action, then success or failure will no longer matter. Future TEs will also talk about their championship journey with relish...
