Chapter 122: Caught a wild big sweet potato!
After Xu Beifang finished the interview, he went straight back to the backstage lounge and gathered with the VP crowd.
Seeing the old brothers ready, just waiting for him, Xu Beifang waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, British-style barbecue today! My treat!!"
"This is simply the best news I've heard today." byali stood up immediately, full of enthusiasm, and walked out.
michu turned around and said puzzledly: "Shouldn't the best news be entering the Legends Stage?"
"No, no, compared to entering the Legends Stage, being able to eat a big meal for free is more real," byali said with a funny face.
Xu Beifang smiled, he naturally knew byali was joking.
But he had wanted to treat this meal for a long time, just never found a good opportunity.
Before, either he had no money, or the old brothers treated him every time.
Although he ate happily, he actually had some burden in his heart, which was the most basic sense of shame of a normal person.
So after getting his salary last month, he had some money in his hand, and today he happened to get the Major main event qualification, which was a day worth celebrating.
"Let's go, barbecue is all you can eat today!"
After winning the match, everyone's mood was quite good.
Packed up their personal belongings, started driving back to the hotel provided by the tournament group, put down their peripherals, and changed into daily casual clothes to go out.
Otherwise, if they went out to eat in VP team uniforms, they were afraid they would be holding a signing session for themselves.
Although VP's strength wasn't too strong now, as an old-school powerhouse, VP's fans in Europe were very exaggerated.
Fans wearing G2 uniforms before could be their fans, and it wouldn't be strange at all if fans of Astralis came to ask for autographs later.
So to have a pleasant dinner time, taking a shower and changing clothes before going out was a good choice.
Xu Beifang took a shower and walked out of the bathroom in his underwear.
Looking at himself in the mirror, a few months of systematic gym training had given him a bit of muscle outline now.
And because he hadn't had much activity recently, more of his training focus was on his abs.
Before, he only listened to pasha's ghost talk, saying that abs only needed deadlifts, but now after a few days of practice, the layering of his abs had immediately come out.
Thinking that if he continued to practice abs for a while, the previous eight-pack abs task should be completed.
It's really hard... Xu Beifang complained in his heart.
But this was also because he didn't put his focus on training, after all, his main profession was a pro player, and now he was in the rising period of his career, spending more time on training and reviewing was a wise move.
Black jeans, paired with a pure white T-shirt, and a brown jacket, Xu Beifang walked out of the room.
Everyone agreed to meet in the lobby on the first floor, and also walked toward the elevator.
In the process of walking to the elevator, he found that the door of the room on the front right was opened.
A heavyweight figure appeared in his field of vision.
"Ah!! ZywOo!!" Xu Beifang looked at the little fatty in front of him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
ZywOo, who walked out of the room, was embarrassed and shy.
"Hi! Nice."
Then he saw him take out his phone, fiddle with it for a long time, and then hand it to Xu Beifang to see:
"You won the match today, I'm really happy for you. I was invited to participate in the exhibition match of this Major, arrived here yesterday, and now I'm going downstairs to eat."
Xu Beifang also reacted at this time, ZywOo's English level wasn't ideal, it was
"Alright then, let's play FPL together when we have time, or maybe play ball." Xu Beifang typed on the translation app on his phone and converted it into French for Zywoo to see.
Zywoo nodded, smiled, revealing his gums, and pointed at the elevator, signaling that he was leaving.
Xu Beifang grabbed him and took a photo; this was Zywoo, after all, the chosen one of CS: GO. Taking a photo today could be considered collecting a stamp.
He did not rashly invite Zywoo to join them for dinner. For one, the two sides weren't very familiar, and inviting him directly would be too abrupt.
Secondly, today was their team dinner, and Zywoo would definitely feel awkward there.
After taking the photo, Xu Beifang opened Bilibili and other social media apps, uploaded the photo, and then edited the text.
"Caught a wild sweet potato. This little fatty named Zywoo surely doesn't know how to play CS: GO, right?"
Since becoming a professional player, he now has more fans coming from abroad.
The Twitter account he opened after coming to the Major is growing in followers at a flying speed.
After a short delay, Xu Beifang took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, only to find that he was not the last one.
After waiting for a while, they followed the suggestion of the front desk staff and headed to a nearby barbecue restaurant with a good reputation.
Everyone sat down and began to enjoy today's barbecue feast. With the help of the staff, the roasted beef was sliced with a knife, the juices constantly dripping down. The scent of several spices stimulated the appetites of this group of rough men.
Xu Beifang used a fork to stuff a slice of meat into his mouth. The outer skin was crispy, but the meat inside was plump. As his teeth collided, the juices burst out, making one unable to help but speed up the chewing.
"The taste is quite good!" pasha gave a thumbs up and said to Xu Beifang, "It seems your life experience is also quite good; you found such a good place just by asking."
"Since we are unfamiliar with the place, naturally we have to ask the locals. When we checked in earlier, I felt that the receptionist should be a local; the London accent was too heavy." Xu Beifang explained while eating a piece of garlic bread.
To him, this taste was a bit strange, but still within the acceptable range.
"Come, let's have a drink!" With pasha taking the lead, the group raised their glasses to celebrate the success of today's match.
Today is the fourth day of the Major Qualifier, September 8th.
The Legends Stage starts on September 12th, so they have 4 days of rest and don't need to worry about the trouble caused by alcohol for the time being.
Moreover, the team members are all over 20 years old, so there is no need to worry about the issue of drinking.
The group clinked glasses, took a gulp of alcohol, and started chatting while eating barbecue.
"To be honest, the process of this Major is really a bit dreamy. I still can't believe we won like this." byali took a sip of alcohol, and his words became more frequent again.
"Before, I thought, just try my best in this Major Qualifier. No matter how far we go, as long as we give it our all, this Major journey is a success."
"But actually, I was still a bit worried inside, worried that we would be defeated 0-3 and just leave."
byali took a sip of alcohol and then looked at Xu Beifang: "This time it's all thanks to you, brother, you performed too well! If we can get the qualification, you deserve at least half the credit."
michu also nodded from the side. Usually, as a guy who likes to claim credit, he just likes to liven up the atmosphere.
But he also understood Xu Beifang's importance in the match.
"It's also thanks to you guys for daring to trust me and raising me to play in this way." Xu Beifang asked back, "Do you know what title the Huaxia fans have given me now?"
neo and pasha were also a bit curious while eating barbecue.
"The Top Donor!"
"Just like the top subscriber on Twitch, I became the Top Donor of VP. Everyone is willing to use whatever actions they have for me; they are completely pampering me to play."
"Haha." The VP group didn't expect such an interesting description.
Xu Beifang was not humble either. Although his performance this time was indeed good, the other VP members were willing to win the game by giving up resources and raising him to play.
Naturally, he had to give back to his teammates and produce results.
"And you guys also played very well in the last two matches." He praised, "Just on that map earlier, neo's command completely crushed the opponent's godb! It couldn't have been easier for us to win the game."
neo nudged pasha with his elbow: "See that? Young people have vision, unlike you who complains about me every day."
pasha rolled his eyes at him, then took a piece of meat from neo's plate: "Nonsense, I never complain about you."
Then he got elbowed again.
The wits and courage of the old men made Xu Beifang watch with great joy.
On the other side, michu opened his phone and started browsing the CS: GO forums.
The news of their recent victory caused a lot of discussion on the forum.
At the same time, he also saw the video of Xu Beifang's post-match interview just now.
michu watched it with relish in a small window while browsing the comments below, and then discovered that everyone was discussing the story of nice before.
"What the hell was nice's final interview? From Big-Silver to pro in a few months?? Is that true or false o. o?"
"I'm also stunned. The level exploded so fast in a few months. Is nice an epiphany-type genius??"
Below, Xu Beifang's fans explained:
"Four months ago, nice was just an entertainment player, and his official matchmaking level was about Big-Silver.
Then one day he posted a video he thought was good on the internet, and was scolded by a CS: GO blogger who thought that if he wanted to go pro, he should practice hard instead of just dreaming, and gave him some suggestions.
nice started practicing day after day according to those suggestions, his level improved rapidly, and then he became a pro very smoothly and suddenly.
On Huaxia's video website, there is even a record of nice becoming a pro step by step relying on these suggestions."
Seeing this answer, the netizens on the foreign internet were stunned.
"wtf!!!"
"Four months ago, nice's rank was the same as mine?? Then if I practice hard for 4 months, can I also become a pro player??"
"Is there anyone! Is there anyone who can translate nice's practice methods? I also want to become stronger!!"
"Became a pro relying on hard work in 4 months?? nice's experience is so cool!!"
In this Major, the powerful explosive power displayed by VP made many people pay attention to this legendary team.
Xu Beifang's powerful explosive power in the match made many casual fans notice this Huaxia player.
They just felt a bit strange why a Huaxia person would appear in VP's Polish lineup.
But they didn't think about the stories behind Xu Beifang.
Today's interview successfully made foreign fans curious.
And with the help of the big shots, they successfully translated some of Xu Beifang's gun practice methods in the country, as well as the training records he once posted in his updates.
Looking at Xu Beifang, who is improving at a flying speed, and recalling that four months ago this person might have been a player like them happily charging with a P90.
The foreign audience shouted that this is a scam!
It's too outrageous!
After a full meal, Xu Beifang also started to pick up his phone.
Browsing Twitter casually, he saw that several people he followed had tweeted.
apex: Congratulations to nice for successfully getting the Major qualification! You are one of the best newcomers this year. I never expected to win the game with this style. Keep it up!!
navi-flamie: I guarantee, nice might be one of the most fearless entry fraggers in the entire Major. Of course, I still love electronic more!
fallencs: I discovered this guy's power last time at the ZOTAC Cup. He seems to have magic, always able to seize opportunities, making people marvel at that terrifying timing. Even if he is held and killed, he is always on the road of being aggressive. I hope nice can maintain this style, it will definitely be very interesting in the match!
flamez: I want to run to nice's bed right now and listen to him say something with his sexy voice...
Pass the last one!
Xu Beifang covered his head, speechless. Huo Zai, this old gay, is too perverted!
"Suddenly remembered, nice, you should be the player with the best stats in this qualifier, right?" byali said while rubbing his round belly.
If he remembered correctly, their big brother basically had a rating of 1.2, 1.3 or higher in every match.
"This is not clear yet, I didn't pay attention to these." Xu Beifang replied.
michu opened HLTV on the side and took a look at the data ranking of this qualifier stage.
"Whoa, good guy, this qualifier is full of monsters!" michu exclaimed.
"What are nice's stats??"
neo and pasha were also a bit curious. They only knew their big brother's stats were good, but they really didn't know to what extent.
michu didn't keep them in suspense either, and said directly: "6 maps, average rating 1.40, ranked behind Device."
"Second in the qualifier?" byali laughed, "That's actually not bad."
The others also nodded. Being able to produce the same stats as last year's top 2, Xu Beifang's performance as a newcomer is indeed outstanding.
"No way!" michu retorted, "If it was just second in the qualifier, I wouldn't say it's full of monsters."
"nice, with a stat of 1.40, is ranked 5th in the qualifier! There are 4 more perverted guys in front of him!"
"wtf!!!"
The VP group was a bit dumbfounded. They originally thought their big brother's strength was already fierce as hell.
But they didn't expect that there were 4 other players who were just as outrageous in the qualifier!
"The first is nip's lekr0. He played three maps and got an average rating of 1.49, but nip's overall strength is crushing, so this stat is actually a bit watered down."
The more competitive the match, the more you can see a player's true strength.
In those crushing matches, the stats might be falsely high.
"Ranked second is a team's Device, they played 4 maps, 1.47 rating."
"Then third and fourth are actually tied, Device and electronic both got 1.44 stats, but electronic only played three maps."
Hearing this, VP couldn't help but gasp.
They knew there were definitely fierce guys in the qualifier, but they didn't expect a bunch of them!
The Legends Stage match hasn't started yet, and they have already felt the intensity!
Still working hard ing
