Chapter 158: Good news: Vitality only has 2 left. Bad news: The two left are big daddies!

"What the hell did I just see? Is this the rifle strength of a Top 9?" RPK held his head and leaned back in his gaming chair; he only felt the scene in front of him was too exaggerated.

"Too amazing." Zywoo added, "I thought you would fight them one by one, didn't expect you to just strafe out and kill them both."

Xu Beifang explained: "Can I tell you I didn't expect it either? Haha, I really wanted to fight them one by one, didn't expect the opponent to push forward all at once."

They didn't care about some oversights in Xu Beifang's operation; CS: GO highlights were always like this—your highlights were always built on the opponent's mistakes.

Xu Beifang might have had some flaws in this wave, but the opponent's mistakes were bigger.

"Four kills!! Four kills!!" Apex shouted excitedly at the opposing team's room. "Just defuse for real next time, don't look for our player to duel!!"

The viewers in the stream were overjoyed seeing this scene.

【Dou Dou is excitedly taunting, as if everything has to do with him】

【nice is too strong, that single tap followed by a spray transfer made me wet】

【You really can't say that, Apex got one】

【Stole nice's five-kill, right】

【The 553 was also provided by Apex, at least Han Dou has half the credit】

【Hahahaha】

【……】

Inside the Valiance team room.

"Four kills... don't fake defuse next time..."

The system prompt and Apex's voice sounded at the same time; they were all a bit frustrated for a moment.

In this qualifier, running into Vitality wasn't particularly good luck. Fortunately, they successfully took their own map pick in Map 1, which kept their spirits high.

As a result, after entering Map 2, they were directly taken down by the opponent with a large score, and their mood plummeted to the bottom.

Fortunately, they were a tier-2 team. In terms of strength, there might be a gap with those tier-1 teams, but their mental adjustment was still fast. After all, most matches were lost more than won, and they had come up slowly.

After entering Dust II, relying on hunter's three-kill in the pistol round, their morale warmed up, and everyone saw some hope.

But the excitement had barely faded when the opponent force-bought an SG553 and directly beat them into a daze.

hunter held his head, already a bit convinced.

Apex's taunt made them feel even more pressure.

……

After Xu Beifang's hero SG553 comeback, the situation underwent a earth-shaking change.

Vitality's overall feel for the game was directly ignited, and in a wave of wild scoring, Apex even started entry-fragging and killing everyone.

Under these circumstances, Nexa could only continue his site-gambling strategy, successfully helping the team gain another point with a 5-A formation.

The score at this time reached 8:2.

After winning, Nexa shouted excitedly in the team room to celebrate this hard-won point.

He also struck while the iron was hot, quickly encouraging his teammates: "Come on! The opponent is not unbeatable. As long as we get the match into our rhythm and get more than 4 points in the first half, there will still be a chance after switching sides."

"Besides, we already took the first map from them, don't be afraid, eon!!"

Nexa's encouraging words, plus the point they had just won, gave the defensive members some confidence again.

"Furthermore, we have double snipers next, everything will get better."

……

"Gambling again, if I didn't look at the ID, I would really think he was Zeus." Apex was amused by the opponent's sudden site-gambling action.

A Site was hit from start to finish, and it felt like there was always someone there, and the player trades just wouldn't stop.

Combined with the opponent's playstyle in the first two maps, it wasn't hard to guess the result.

"RPK, you go solo in the middle this round to get some information and probe the specific situation on B Site." Apex also had a set of tactics for this kind of stubborn site gambling.

As long as they weren't in a hurry on the front line and actively let the flankers probe, this site-gambling playstyle was very easy to break.

Because of the positioning, they didn't directly fight for control of A Long this round.

Xu Beifang arrived at the junction of A Long and the middle, guarding against enemies who might push up in the middle.

Although Zywoo started with an AWP holding the middle door, he couldn't see the situation at A Short, so he still had to be careful.

"No direct site gambling in the early stage, there are two people on B Site." NBK gave feedback in the voice comms.

Xu Beifang glanced at RPK's position, at the far left of B2 Floor. "RPK, be careful, the opponent might have double snipers."

If he remembered correctly, he finally saw hunter pick up a sniper rifle, and that sniper rifle of Ottond's didn't die just now, so there should be double snipers this round.

It was just that the time was very tight at the end, and he wasn't sure if hunter had picked it up.

Hearing Xu Beifang's reminder, RPK was very cautious, threw a B-tunnel crossing smoke, and then took advantage of the moment the smoke popped to jump to the left.

—Bang!

"There really is a secondary sniper." After RPK was safe, he chose to take the long way around the back garden to return to the main force.

This information had been obtained, so Apex's instructions in the early stage didn't need to be followed.

"NBK, throw an Xbox smoke at home, then send someone out of A Long to hit a pincer attack on A Long and A Short." Apex made a mid-game decision.

Xbox smoke was thrown, and NBK arrived at the middle-long L-position, grabbing a flashbang.

RPK and Xu Beifang pushed forward on A Long.

"Flashbang thrown!"

"Bang!"

Two flashbangs popped, Xu Beifang strafed out directly, and after quickly clearing the site, he saw Nexa holding a gun on the small platform above the large pit.

Holding the SG553, he quickly sprayed and controlled the recoil.

But RPK, who was beside him, was killed by Nexa, who had recovered his vision, using an AUG.

After a round of exchanges, both sides traded 1-for-1, which was a huge profit for Vitality.

After all, in a 1-for-1 situation, they also gained control of A Long, which was definitely a profit.

"A Long traded 1-for-1, and on the CT side, they pushed out from B2 Floor in the second wave. Letn1 has already arrived at B1 Floor and caught Han Dou's back!!"

"Han Dou was instantly sprayed down. Will Zywoo hold B1 Floor? He didn't care for the time being because he was in a hurry to go to A Short to synchronize with nice, who was pushing forward on A Long."

"Letn1 got a kill but didn't retreat. He wanted more kills. Letn1 found a better position and mixed at the edge of the smoke to hold and kill NBK."

"Letn1 got a double kill with this forward push, bringing the player count to 4 vs 2!"

Nexa, who had become a fountain commander, saw the player count become an advantage and immediately shouted in the voice comms: "Don't get cocky! Don't give the opponent a chance, stay steady!"

They had seen the individual ability of Zywoo and nice too many times, so even in a 4 vs 2 clutch, they didn't dare to have any slack.

Xu Beifang listened to the information fed back by his teammates and knew there was a rifle on B1 Floor.

And they knew there was a sniper rifle sitting on B Site at the start, so they understood the opponent was in a 2-A 2-B setup.

He immediately pushed forward quickly toward A Long. In a 2 vs 4 clutch, they had to take the initiative.

Xu Beifang pre-aimed slowly, thinking quickly in his head—2-A setup, the opponent should still have a sniper rifle defending, so it was highly likely a playstyle where the sniper rifle hard-aimed and the rifle held the crossing point in the second position.

Xu Beifang placed his crosshair near the A platform and began to pre-aim at several hard-aiming points for the sniper rifle.

"Bang... Da-da-da!"

When he saw a CT peeking out with a sniper rifle in his field of vision, Xu Beifang immediately fired a single tap.

But the first single tap didn't hit the opponent's head, but because he fired first, Espiranto's sniper rifle was still affected by him.

He even focused his aim and just flicked a shot over, relying entirely on his dynamic vision.

But not everyone could possess that exaggerated dynamic vision like kennyS; Espiranto still missed that shot.

Xu Beifang's angle for the gunfight was good. He sprayed at the A platform one-box, but it didn't result in a kill. After holding for a few seconds, he pulled out a grenade and threw it over there.

【nice used grenade to kill Espiranto】

"nice handled the sniper rifle alone at A Long. Excellent solo-play ability. The clutch has already reached 2 vs 3 at this time. Looking at it this way, is there a chance for the clutch?" Ma Xixi's tone had some expectation.

The old handsome guy stated a cold fact: "But the bomb is still on Zywoo. hunter is at the L-position under the A platform. How to cross the point with the bomb will become a problem, and Letn1 has also moved; he has already touched the A Short channel and is walking toward Zywoo's rear."

Letn1 felt his position was very mysterious. After all, his position was B1 Floor just now; Zywoo definitely wouldn't have thought there was someone behind him.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing: at the A Short corner, you show your shadow first!

—Bang!

【Zywoo used AWP to headshot kill Letn1】

"Zywoo took away Letn1 in the rear with a flick shot, but Otto has already flanked to the T spawn with a sniper rifle. A Long will be coming very quickly."

"Although Vitality still has a chance in this 2 vs 2, the CT positions are all very mysterious."

Zywoo got a kill, and his position had already been exposed.

"I'll go get information, you come to handle it?" Xu Beifang asked.

The positions of the remaining two were unknown. Although it was highly likely one was on B Site, they didn't know the specific information, which still made them have some doubts.

Xu Beifang sealed the A Long CT spawn smoke, then on the side with the gap, actively threw a flashbang.

This time it wasn't a "courage-boosting" flash, but a truly useful crossing flash.

Xu Beifang moved to the slope, then shoulder-peeked several times, seeing the sniper spot and the bomb site clearly.

"No one in the bomb site." Just after this information was said, the AWP gunshot came from A Long.

【Ottond used AWP to kill nice】

Seeing this kill, Zywoo switched to his knife and turned to walk toward B Site.

"Zywoo reacted. Now B Site is in an undefended state. What's left for him is a 1 vs 2 clutch. How to handle this wave? Go to B Site to plant the bomb first or what?"

"Zywoo didn't rush, but pre-scoped and pushed toward the CT spawn! He realized there was someone in the CT spawn!"

"The cousin didn't react at all!! Now it's bullfighting time between Zywoo and Otto!! But is there really enough time to plant the bomb?" The old handsome guy watched the time above his head nervously. Finally, Zywoo landed in the B Site bomb site, switched to the bomb, and had 4 seconds left.

"Extreme time!! Zywoo is very smart; he knows the opponent is far away, so he actively came to the scaffold to hard-aim the B-outside crossing point!"

"1 vs 1 clutch. Can Otto react that there is someone on the scaffold? One shot and held, Vitality's two-man clutch is completed again!" Ma Xixi praised. "Top-tier!!"

"This little French fatty is capable. Little Xu can get information at A Long, and he can also take down this clutch. His level is capable!"

【nice and Zywoo are now the twin stars in Vitality, fierce as hell】

【I've been watching Vitality's matches recently, I can only say as long as these two brothers are alive, I feel there is hope for everything】

【Feels like Beifang plus Zywoo can handle any clutch】

【Beifang relies entirely on the front, Zywoo's clutch thinking is obviously better】

【The opponent's expression is constipated, haha】

【Who can withstand being turned around by this kind of individual ability】

【……】

The morale that had finally been raised was overturned again because of a 2 vs 4.

This time Apex didn't taunt them; just the cheers coming from the room next door were so noisy.

To this, he could only stiffly make subsequent tactical arrangements, but the double-sniper defense was taken down, and the economy already had big problems.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say their mentality had collapsed. In the subsequent first half, many rounds they could have won were lost, and their gunplay had already begun to deform.

The first-half score was fixed at a huge gap of 13:2.

Nexa and the red wine bottle were ready to head to the loser's bracket.

After switching sides in the second half, they chose a simple rush B.

At this time, their hearts still held some expectations, thinking about winning the pistol round in the second half, getting a few more points, or even staging some earth-shattering comeback!

But as both sides engaged, their dreams shattered along with it.

……

Xu Beifang stood on the A platform, constantly shoulder-peeking, and then watched the kill feed in the top right start to clear the screen.

【Zywoo used USP to headshot kill Nexa】

【hunter used Glock to kill Apex】

【Zywoo used USP to headshot kill hunter】

【Zywoo used USP to headshot kill Ottond】

【……】

A wave of screen-clearing in the top right, he didn't even need to perform any retake, and the pistol round was over.

After winning the pistol round, the opponent chose to eco, planning to play a full-buy round at match point.

Then, in a firefight at A Long, although Xu Beifang was killed, RPK used a FAMAS to kill three of the opponent's members.

Finally, with the coordination of Zywoo and Apex in the middle door, they killed the last two members of the opponent.

The score was fixed at a huge gap of 16:2.

And Vitality also won the second day of the Katowice Major European Qualifier.

Now their record was 2-0. They only needed to win one more match, and they could compete and fight against all the top teams in the Katowice Major a few months later.

Xu Beifang was looking forward to that scene!

13/77, updating later and later recently is indeed not good. I will adjust my sleep schedule in the next two days.
