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

In the game that day, not only did TE lose to DRX and get eliminated, but G2 also failed to overcome the obstacle of FNC and was eliminated and sent home in the first round of the loser group.

Although TE has returned home, as the year with the most CN league teams advancing to the quarterfinals since the launch of Valorant, the remaining two teams EDG and FPX still have great hope of making it to the final step.

It can be said that this year is the most promising year for CN Watts!

There was no time to say goodbye to TE, because tomorrow, in the first round of the winner's group, both EDG and FPX will appear. The two teams rushed back to the hotel where they were staying to start today's training match.

Because the game is tomorrow afternoon, both EDG and FPX need to adjust their schedules tonight. The two teams decided to play training matches against each other to hone their tactics. This made the BLG and CN league teams that had been eliminated and went home long ago and did not come to the World Championship breathe a sigh of relief!

Finally, I don’t have to be a sandbag anymore!

Tomorrow EDG will first play against the champion team of the Madrid Masters, Sen. The style of this team is completely different from FPX, which means that some of EDG's tactical arrangements against Sen will be somewhat inadequate when facing FPX, which has a more aggressive style of play.

This is easy to understand. Sen will use the top sister "Xiaomi su7" Neon to deal with many maps in this season, but FPX does not play the Neon system, at least it has never publicly unveiled the Neon system.

However, Dan Anyang's proficiency in Neon during the training match was quite high, which made the EDG coach cautious. With Xia An's previous experience in the Shanghai Masters, many coaches would assume that FPX would hide some weird things to catch their opponents by surprise.

"Mr. Dan is quite proficient in Neon! So, Xia An, do you have a hidden Neon system?" Muggle teased Xia An on the other side of the microphone with a smile, his words full of temptation!

"Yes."

"what?"

Muggle didn't expect that Xia An would use his ultimate move right after he made a basic attack! He was still a little confused for a moment, and asked again in disbelief:

"Is it really true?"

Xia An's tone remained the same for thousands of years, "Yes, I have practiced it."

This time it was Muggle's turn to not know what to say. FPX's tradition is to hide one's skills, but I have never heard of them showing one's skills! This abnormal behavior made Muggle unsure of his initial judgment.

After seeing the performance of Anyang Neon in the training match, muggle's first thought was that FPX must have practiced the Neon system. Because Neon is different from other one-shots, Neon does not have a long-range displacement skill, but only a sliding skill that can quickly close the distance between the enemy and us.

Don't underestimate this difference. In the eyes of ordinary players, it may not be a big deal, and they may not even think about it. But in a professional game, where the coordination of team props is very high, this small change will completely affect the timing of releasing team props!

To give a simple example, after the new version of the bomb girl's bomb jump flight speed and distance change, many teams' prop positions need to re-adapt to the timing of releasing flash and other cover-breaking props.

Judging from the coordination of props and tactical arrangements in FPX's training games, they have definitely practiced before. Muggle has never seen Ayang flash to single Anyang. If you say this is the first time they cooperated, Muggle will never believe it!

But he didn't expect Xia An to admit it so directly...

“Is it really because Dan Anyang is so talented? Is he proficient in everything he plays? Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense for it to be so smooth!” Muggle thought secretly in his heart, but then he changed his mind and thought, if FPX really has a hidden Neon system, then wouldn’t he be the first person to know the truth?

How come I'm still a little proud?!

......

The third day of the knockout rounds arrived as scheduled, and the originally small venue was now even more crowded. Today, these four teams can be said to have a large number of fans. Lev led by aspas, Sen, the Madrid champion team led by my brother, FPX, the champion of the Shanghai Masters, and EDG, played by a big star.

The value of this traffic is really high. If the draw was not broadcast live throughout the entire process, many people would suspect that the event organizer had faked the traffic!

What kind of luck brought these four teams together in the same day? Coupled with what nobody said before: "Our z what kk seems to be better than your z what kk", coupled with the inappropriate words said by z*kken during the live broadcast of the duel between the Sen team and the EDG vs. SEN match, the fans of both sides had already finished a BO5 off the court before the game even started!

EDG and SEN were the first to appear, and it was still a classic BO3 format. But the losers would not be eliminated immediately, but would fall into the loser group and compete with FNC, who won the first round of the loser group yesterday, for a chance to revive.

Although FNC's performance in the World Championship has been really eye-catching in recent years, giving people the impression that they become stronger when facing weaker opponents and melt when facing stronger opponents. But now that it's here, who wants to go on a roller coaster ride to play around in the loser bracket? The only way to quickly secure a place in the semi-finals is to quickly finalize the top four. At this stage, each team has almost used their trump cards, and now it's a battle based entirely on strength!

Let's go directly into the ban and selection of the map. Figure 1 shows the strong map of both sides, the Hidden Monastery. This map was taken by Sen on his own initiative. The lineups of both sides are completely mirrored, and the systems are both neon systems. It depends on the tactics of that side and the status of the players at that time.

The second map is the "Ancient Capital of the Jin Dynasty", the Lotus Ancient City, which is EDG's king map! It can be regarded as an insurance for the first map. Even if the first map is not defeated by SEN, EDG is confident that they can win back in the second map!

The deciding map for map three was Sunset City, a map with a high winning rate for both sides.

This map ban made Xia An in the lounge break out in a cold sweat!

"When did Muggle become so bold?" Xia An muttered quietly. The other members of FPX were chatting carelessly, not paying any attention to what was going on in the BP.

While eating a hamburger, Ayang pointed at the map bans on the screen and said, "Did SEN and EDG discuss this? Why are they playing all three maps? When will we get a chance to play MD?"

Indeed, judging from the results, the Hermitage, Lotus Ancient City, and Sunset City were all maps played by both teams. But what Ayang didn't notice was that EDG's first ban didn't include "Asia Sea Hanging City", which they didn't know how to play at all!

Instead, he chose to ban Refrigerator. This was a huge gamble! Muggle was betting that Sen wouldn't dare to pick Yahai Xuancheng. Even though the whole world knew that EDG didn't know how to pick Yahai Xuancheng, coach Sen didn't dare to waste precious first pick map 1 by picking out Yahai Xuancheng, which he wasn't very skilled at!

Who knows if EDG has a trick up their sleeve like FPX! What if the Asia Sea City that they had banned before was a smokescreen? What if Sen, the unlucky one, is caught in the trap? You know, Sen's Asia Sea City is not strong either. Instead of betting with EDG on Asia Sea City, even if the winning rate is 99%, Sen's coach would not dare...
