Chapter 142: Congratulations to the Vice President of Xijiang University Esports Club for getting

Looking at the 37/5/26 record on the screen, Xu Beifang looked for a long time before leaning back on the gaming chair and taking off his headphones.

The tsunami-like noise rushed into his ears, but even though he lost the match, the sound wasn't harsh, just a bit of loss in his heart.

But turning to look at the silent and somewhat guilty teammates, Xu Beifang showed a faint smile on his face.

"Sorry... if I could hold on in the last few rounds." Pasha pursed his lips and said with some self-blame.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has actually reached the limit." Xu Beifang turned to look at Pasha, with a relieved smile on his face, "This result is great."

His teammates couldn't withstand the pressure brought by the Liquid group, he didn't blame them too much, he knew they had already tried their best to defend.

But the difference in level sometimes isn't something that an attitude can erase.

As one of the strongest teams in 2019, Liquid began to show their strength in the second half of 2018.

Xu Beifang originally thought that his little butterfly could collide with them, but one person was still unable to turn the tide. This team's current state is online, and it is a team that truly has the strength to win the championship.

"Don't you blame us for not being able to take the results further?" Neo thought for a while and said, "Originally, there was a glimmer of hope to continue rushing to the Top 4."

On Map 2, under Xu Beifang's explosive performance, they got the match point first, and then saw Liquid stop being stubborn, choosing to find opportunities from A Site, avoiding Xu Beifang who had a hot hand.

Finally, they were constantly chased, until they were turned over after entering overtime.

But if they could withstand the pressure on A Site, they would have a chance to enter Map 3.

Only one BO1 left to decide the outcome, then the winning chance would become even bigger.

It's just a pity that they didn't grasp this opportunity.

"What's there to blame?" Xu Beifang turned to Neo and said, "When I pushed forward and ruined a good game, did you blame me?"

Neo shook his head and didn't refute.

Xu Beifang then said: "And we are a team, it's just a pity that we didn't continue to walk down."

"Look, you are still blaming us." Byali said with a forced smile on the side, seemingly wanting to use the loopholes in his teammate's words to make everyone laugh.

"I don't mean the results... but ourselves."

The battle room fell into silence.

After the London Major ended, everyone rushed to their own future. This had already been agreed upon since the IEM Shanghai station.

At this moment, the Byali group realized in a daze that unknowingly, their Major journey—ended!

Everyone was a bit sad for a while, although they still had to stay in London for many days, and could see each other in the future.

But the next time they meet, their identities will no longer be those teammates who can fight side by side!

Everyone was speechless for a while. Xu Beifang took the initiative to embrace them, and everyone tacitly formed a circle.

Xu Beifang smiled and shouted at them: "Thank you all for your care during these two months, allowing me to cultivate from a ladder passerby to a first-tier professional player."

"Everyone on the internet says that I could actually choose a better team, saying that I deserve a better team. I didn't have a choice at the beginning, and I have always joked that I was picked up by Pasha."

Hearing this, the other members of VP let out good-natured laughter. This is indeed something Nice often hangs on his lips.

"Now it seems that this is actually the best arrangement of fate. Here I completed the transformation from a passerby to a professional player, met a big brother who always felt I was too thin, met an IGL who was willing to give me a stage for a newcomer to play, met a good teammate who cooperated with me seamlessly, and met a gunner who was a bit silly."

"Sincerely thank you for being able to work with you. We may not have achieved very good results, but this time I spent with you will be my most precious memory."

Xu Beifang said, taking out a photo from his pants pocket——

"Don't, I'm really going to cry!" Pasha said while sniffing.

I saw that in the photo, golden ribbons were flying, and the VP five-man group held up the trophy and showed their smiles to their heart's content.

"I will never forget that championship. Thank you all for your care over these two months."

The Liquid group came to find VP to shake hands, and found that the VP players' emotions were a bit wrong. Even Neo, who is usually relatively rational, had red eyes at this moment.

We made VP cry?

Zong Jian had a bold idea in his mind, but was soon thrown out of his mind by himself.

How is it possible.

It's not like losing the match in long pain at 14:16. This match, although VP was overtaken by them in overtime, they won two maps and didn't even enter Map 3.

And besides Nice, VP were all old oilers, so how could their emotions go wrong so easily.

The emotional management of old-school CS players has always been very exaggerated.

"What's going on?" Zong Jian asked secretly when shaking hands with Xu Beifang.

"Nothing big." Xu Beifang smiled faintly, "It's just that I'm leaving the team."

"Oh, just... leaving the team!!!" Zong Jian suppressed his voice, looking at Xu Beifang incredibly, "Really or fake, can this kind of thing be said casually?"

Xu Beifang comforted: "It's okay, the temporary contract of less than a month is irrelevant."

He and VP signed a 3-month short-term contract on July 22, and the contract will end on October 22.

But the transfer period will end after this London Major. The restrictions of the temporary contract are not big. Xu Beifang can buy himself out with the bonus, so he didn't worry about the restrictions of the contract.

He had already thought about it. After ending this London Major, he would start looking for a job on the internet.

And let Pasha and Neo help him find other team trial paths.

"I said why VP's emotions were a bit wrong." Zong Jian said with a smile, "I thought I made you all cry."

"Parting is always a bit sad, and Pasha is also going to retire."

After finishing the post-match handshake with Liquid, watching the Liquid group entering the carnival under the crowd of the audience, Xu Beifang was a bit envious, but not jealous.

Participating in the Major for the first time, being able to enter the Top 8 is already considered very successful.

He has higher extravagant hopes, but he also recognizes reality. Success in life is only for a while, failure is the main theme, but how to face failure divides people into different appearances.

Xu Beifang likes this remark by He Wei very much.

As for the current top players, who hasn't faced failure.

Now in the arena, Magisk, who is in full swing, almost left the professional stage.

The world's number one rifleman NiKo also had his own regrets in Boston six months ago.

Compared to those nightmarish pains, Xu Beifang losing to Liquid in the quarterfinals doesn't count as anything.

He also understands that his professional career has just begun.

The result of VP stopping at the Top 8 triggered heated discussions on the CSGO forum.

Even in the Top 8, they didn't win a single map, but no one would criticize their performance.

As a team of new leading old, VP fought all the way from the qualifier, which can be called passing five levels and cutting six generals, and rushed into the offline big stage with the posture of a dark horse.

The outside world only had surprise and curiosity about the genius rifleman Nice who appeared out of nowhere. Many people, after understanding his playstyle, were also greatly shocked, and then became Nice's fans.

As for the domestic forum news in Huaxia, there will be no criticism of Xu Beifang.

Although CSGO is unexpectedly popular in China because of Qiezi, in essence, CNCS is still a product of a small circle. What went out of the circle was Qiezi as a person and his 'Qie words', and the popularity of the whole game still needs some time to spread.

Most of the players who pay attention to the match clearly remember that 5 months ago, Nice was still a C-level teenager who couldn't even walk, but now he stands on the professional stage.

This huge contrast is a bit unbelievable when recalled, but recalling the experience of Xu Beifang appearing in front of people, actively seeking suggestions for becoming stronger, and seriously executing them, this terrifying self-discipline and execution ability, success is inevitable.

Domestic CSGO bloggers—Leon Kai, Wanjiqi, Ma Xixi, Ai Hua, Qiezi, etc. —were all surprised by the results achieved by Xu Beifang and Tyloo this time.

CSGO national server even specially sent a dynamic: "People who are willing to believe in miracles are as amazing as miracles themselves."

In the post, Go Ge gave high affirmation to the performance of Tyloo and Xu Beifang in this Major.

Electronic sports need dreams and persistence, but for the whole environment, it also needs the support of a little bit of results. After all, CSGO is Valve's game.

Valve doesn't want CSGO's profession to become systematic. They expect more internet cafe teams to appear. In some aspects, this suppresses the survival space of CSGO professional players.

So most of the CSGO professionals and anchors in China were basically generating electricity for love in the early stage.

Go Ge and most players understand that the results achieved this time let them see hope for the future.

With hope in their hearts, they can wait for the appearance of miracles later.

And the information of 'Nice getting the Major Top 8' quickly rushed to the Weibo hot search, making domestic CSGO players call it 'face'.

At the same time, another identical hot search rushed up——

"Congratulations to the Vice President of Xijiang University Esports Club for getting the world's eighth!"

This hot search even rushed ahead of 'Nice getting the Major Top 8', and even reached the 3rd position at one point.

Xu Beifang only knew the origin of this hot search later.

The day after VP was eliminated, the military training of Xijiang University just ended, and the CSGO club created by Xiao Ming officially started recruiting.

CSGO is a niche game after all, and it can't be compared with League of Legends next door. If this recruitment didn't get people, then his CSGO club would probably have no funding and follow-up.

Ma Dong gave Xiao Ming an idea at this time, letting him directly create a banner and use a clickbait title to attract people.

And in some aspects, this is not considered clickbait. After all, Xu Beifang had promised to be this vice president before.

Then the banner was pulled, and the people who came to inquire about recruitment the next day were crowded. Xiao Ming's mouth was dry all day.

Later, this matter was passed to Weibo by a freshman, showing off that his senior was already playing matches internationally, and it instantly exploded on Weibo.

It was even quickly known by the teachers of the propaganda department of Xijiang University, and several large banners were directly pulled out in the school.

"Warmly congratulate our school's outstanding student—Xu Beifang for achieving the world's eighth result in the electronic sports project-CSGO category!"

This made the CSGO atmosphere of Xijiang University even heavier. At least everyone wanted to understand the game of CSGO.

And Xiao Ming also told Xu Beifang that the counselor seemed to have mentioned that because of his result, the school was determined to open an esports major.

Xu Beifang, who was far away in London, saw this message on WeChat and simply called it an expert.

Didn't expect that he wasn't in school, but his legend was already circulating in the school.

However, compared to the fermentation of domestic public opinion, Xu Beifang's eyes were still on the Major in front of him.

Although they were eliminated, the Major was not over.

After defeating them, Liquid met their nemesis Astralis.

According to Ma Xixi, Astralis playing Liquid is like a father playing a son.

Liquid successfully defeated Astralis once in the group stage, which was amazing, but in the Top 4 match, they were taken away 2-0 by Astralis without much trouble.

On the A group side, the Born Winner also began to exert force.

After they defeated BIG 2-0, they also defeated MIBR 2-0, and finally met Astralis in the final.

These two finalist teams didn't lose a single small map after entering the offline match.

Everyone could feel that their state had reached the best, and everyone was looking forward to this feast of Mars hitting the Earth.

However, before the final started, Xu Beifang edited information in Bilibili and sent a dynamic:

"I've been invited to participate in the All-Star performance match. Everyone, give me some advice: should I put on a show, blast the old men on the other side, or just throw? Time is tight, asking for advice."
