Chapter 165: Amazing twins!
The final score of the first half was fixed at the classic posture of 9:6.
ENCE felt that today's match was very strange. Except for the second map where they found the answer to the problem, the opponent always led while playing on the first and third maps.
Every time they were about to crush the opponent and chase the score to overtake, Vitality could always stand up and reverse the situation.
The duel between the two sides makes you feel that the gap with the opponent is not large, and Aleksib even felt that their team played better overall.
But today, the opponent's ceiling was obviously much higher than theirs.
For a time, Aleksib, as the IGL, felt a bit discouraged.
However, young people have high spirits, and bad moods come and go quickly.
In the second half, offense and defense swapped. ENCE came to the defensive side. Aleksib commanded his teammates to make a 3B-2 Sewer formation, and then sent a total of 4 people to counter-clear Construction Site.
This wave Vitality chose to speed up to B Site. The distance from the Sewer to the Sandbags can basically be said to be a heavy 5-man B-site defense, so they easily took the pistol round of the second half.
And facing Vitality's armorless Glock, it was also taken without any suspense.
The score came to 8:9. Aleksib cheered up again, bumped fists with his teammates beside him, and comforted them that as long as they took this full-buy round, the score could be tied—the match would enter their rhythm.
But things didn't go as beautifully as Aleksib imagined.
After entering the full-buy round, although allu used an AWP to get a kill at A Long, he was quickly headshot and traded by that Top-9 on the opposite side.
A 1-for-1 trade with an AWP is simply not profitable.
After Vitality held for a while, they launched a round of explosive bombs at A Site. It only cost a Zywoo to take down the two defensive players at A point, and ENCE's retake was also held by Apex, leaving only the last Sergej to save the weapon.
The score was widened again, giving Aleksib a very ominous feeling.
Although the pistol round of the second half was gambled by ENCE, after entering the full-buy round, everything got better.
A five-game winning streak in the second half pushed Vitality's score to 14:8.
"How is the opponent's economy now?" Apex turned to ask Xu Beifang.
He also discovered that his team's entry fragger was very sensitive to these numbers, and the economy inferred during the match had not had any errors so far.
"The economy is quite a lot, at most an armorless AWP." Xu Beifang recalled the opponent's configuration in the previous point. "The possibility of everyone having half-armor rifles is greater."
Apex thought for a few seconds, "Let's go 1-3-1 at the start. NBK, you go to B-outside alone to do the default. Nice, you stay at T-spawn to extinguish fire and give pressure. Others follow me and push from the Sewer."
Apex still planned to use information misleading to score, which he is very good at.
In several rounds on the defensive side, they used this misjudgment to take down the opponent's lone members.
Xu Beifang naturally had no other thoughts. After replenishing his utility, he rushed out of the T-spawn alone.
"The opponent's utility isn't much, no T-spawn smoke given, there's a possibility of an AWP, be careful." Xu Beifang reminded.
After saying that, he arrived inside Overpass, relying on cover to scope in and hold A Long directly, guarding against the opponent's possible counter-clear.
Teammates are grouped, he is alone, he must be careful everywhere.
Overpass was extremely quiet, three people were searching in the Sewer, while NBK at B-outside was crazily exchanging utility with the opponent.
While Xu Beifang was holding, he also paid attention to the position of his teammates. Seeing that the teammates in the Sewer were in a similar position, he also moved.
Crouching back from Overpass to the T-spawn, and then using a spring-head method to stand up and take a look at the information in the balloon direction.
Held for two seconds to confirm no one came out, only then did he start to walk toward Mid.
"Vitality's early map control is quite smooth, but ENCE's desire to control the front of the Toilet is very strong. It looks like they intend to decide the outcome with Vitality at the front!"
"Now two members at the front of the Toilet are holding directly, and there is one more person at the A-small corner Toilet. ENCE has already laid a net in the Toilet, waiting for Vitality's attack."
Xu Beifang was holding A Long at the very back of the team, and the main force was already applying pressure to control the map inside the Toilet.
RpK gave an A-small fire, and then peeked to deceive the information inside the Toilet.
Sure enough, the next second, gunfire rang out in the Toilet, and the opponent was swayed by RpK's shadow, intending to fire a pre-fire.
Xu Beifang heard the gunfire in the Toilet and immediately took out a flashbang, asking: "Do you want to flash and counter-clear? I can give you an instant-pop..."
But before he finished speaking, he saw RpK directly dry-peek out.
As the IGL, Apex also rushed forward directly to cover!
【Sergej used M4A4 to headshot kill RpK】
【Aleksib used AUG to headshot kill Apex】
Xu Beifang was a bit speechless and put away the flashbang.
This information was already in hand, and it was clear that throwing a flash would solve most of the problems.
RpK and Apex chose to dry-peek out directly, which was suffocating.
At the same time, the kill information came from the upper right corner again. NBK was caught and killed by a counter-clear at B Site.
Leaving a 2-on-5 clutch for Zywoo and Xu Beifang, the opponent had already obtained the information of the remaining two people outside A Site.
However, it didn't matter anymore, because the bomb was dropped inside the Toilet, and their 2-on-5 clutch was too passive.
"Hit?"
"Can try." Xu Beifang was moving toward the A Long Toilet direction. "There's money next round, taking down a few of their rifles is also good."
After hearing his decision, Zywoo took the AWP and walked silently to A-small, and then used a half-body peek method to collect information.
After repeating the action several times, he finally saw a CT holding A-small directly inside the Toilet.
——Bang!
【Zywoo used AWP to headshot kill allu】
Even though the reaction was already very fast, Zywoo only had 18 HP left.
"I'll hook for you." After hitting one, Zywoo scoped in and peeked inside the Toilet again.
But the sound of utility made him quickly retreat a few steps.
This backward step avoided the damage of the grenade, so he didn't fly directly.
But no matter what, the hook was fully done. The next step to break the game would depend on Nice.
Zywoo believed in Xu Beifang's performance, just like any previous clutch.
After Xu Beifang arrived at A Long, they had already confirmed that there were two people in the Toilet. Zywoo was pulling one, he only needed to win one head-on duel.
He found a wide angle, so the model of him appearing in the opponent's field of vision was very small.
Two half-body peeks, combined with a large-pull crouch peek, Xu Beifang searched the spot rhythmically.
Finally, in a large-pull crouch peek, he saw the opponent standing in a resting position holding an angle.
"Da-da-da..."
【Nice used SG553 to headshot kill Sergej】
Teammate was killed at A Long, Aleksib hurriedly turned his head, wanting to cover.
But the sniper rifle sound behind him rang out, making him unable to help but sigh.
This is what gave him a headache. This kind of 5-on-2 big advantage situation, under the opponent's wave of operations, turned into 2-on-2.
Which team can maintain a good mindset in this situation!
"Zywoo is low HP."
"Nice, I hit two shots."
In the ENCE voice chat, each reported the damage they had dealt.
Just at this moment, after taking down NBK, Aerial, who had circled a big circle from the T-spawn, touched Mid and caught Zywoo's back.
【Aerial used AK47 to kill Zywoo】
Looking at the kill information in the upper right corner, Xu Beifang entered the middle section of the Toilet and picked up the bomb.
1-on-2 clutch, one person in Mid, the other person is likely at A bomb site.
After Xu Beifang picked up the bomb, he waited for a while, the person behind didn't come to find him actively.
He adjusted his posture and actively peeked at Mid. The opponent didn't show his head at all.
There were 20 seconds left, he could only actively find the CT in front.
Walking silently and pushing toward the bomb site bit by bit, then jumped up the moment he reached the platform.
At this time, he heard the footsteps at A Long, Xu Beifang took the SG553 and ran and fired to pursue.
xseven was stunned. After hearing the footsteps, he even pre-held, waiting for the opponent to peek horizontally.
How could he have thought of a direct run-and-fire 553, the gun barrel was stuffed into his mouth, and he didn't react at all.
Although he got the kill with a thrilling operation, when Xu Beifang switched to the bomb and entered the bomb site, the 4 on his head had jumped to 3.
Xu Beifang was a bit helpless—
No time to plant the bomb.
"Xu Beifang and Zywoo took down 4 in this wave, it's just a pity that the time wasn't enough, otherwise they could really have pulled off a 2-on-5 highlight scene." Wanjiqi's expression was a bit regretful.
He thought that the coordination and pulling between Xu Beifang and Zywoo in this wave was quite eye-catching, and they were not on the same channel as the two dry-peeking guys RpK and Apex at all.
Fortunately, after xseven was killed, Aleksib glanced at the time, so Aerial didn't rush to find an opportunity.
Otherwise, it felt like they would really be taken to match point by Vitality 2-on-5.
"These two on the opposite side are too outrageous."
After winning this point, their expressions were not too happy.
A 5-on-2 clutch was fought to 1-on-1. If it weren't for the time issue, they might not even have won.
This really makes one doubt their own strength.
The reason Aleksib couldn't be happy was another one—although they won the round, they just lost four rifles.
CTs won the round by consuming time, each team member got 3200, plus a 300 kill economy, averaging only 3500.
This economy doesn't match utility, and can't even buy half-armor M4s!
Losing too many guns made them only able to play half-armor FAMAS with a small amount of utility. Combat power didn't increase because of the victory, but rather got lower and lower as they played.
In the next round, ENCE tried to use a double-boost tactic to steal a kill.
But Vitality, after calculating the economy, directly hit a B-site explosive bomb speed-up in the second timing, crushing them with the general trend.
A wave of B-site explosive bombs, ENCE only managed a 3-for-1, and the two players at A Site started to retake from the Sewer, but were also held by Zywoo with an AWP.
ENCE's voice chat was silent. After three hours of hard fighting, the result was like this, which they didn't want to see.
But after entering match point, with less than 3000 in economy, Aleksib, who had always been good at organizing short guns, failed to organize any effective defense.
Xu Beifang's abrupt speed-up at B Site got two kills, and with the teammates at B Site, they successfully ended the match.
2-1, Vitality won the victory of this BO3.
I have read everyone's suggestions and feedback. It is a fact that the quality has declined recently. I will find a way to adjust it back.
