178. Chapter 175: Going Further and Further on the Road of the Roll King
"Congratulations to Vitality for defeating BIG with a 2-0 score and entering the second round of the match!"
"Today, on these two maps, Vitality's performance was quite excellent, ultimately defeating BIG with scores of 16:5 and 16:6 respectively. The opponent didn't even have a chance to score consecutively against them."
Ma Xixi said, "Wanjiqi analyzed Vitality's playstyle before, and I also went to watch it carefully that time; it was indeed played poorly."
"But in this BO3 today, we can clearly see some changes they have made. With this performance, we can look forward to their performance in subsequent matches......"
【Damn, Ma Xixi has activated his power】
【It's okay, at least didn't roll 3000】
【These two maps today were indeed played well, I didn't even see the double-person clutch of Little Xu and Little Fatty】
【Shouldn't it be that BIG is not good?】
【What are you kidding? BIG is not good? That's the number one German team】
【......】
Inside the BIG base.
The moment they lost the match, they not only didn't feel pain but felt relieved.
This psychology made them somewhat self-reproachful, because as a professional player, they must maintain a strong desire to win at all times.
This somewhat "letting it rot" idea made them feel a strong sense of guilt.
But this was also their true thought—being beaten throughout this BO3, they had no gaming experience at all; how could their mentality remain so good.
Xantares wiped the sweat from his hands with a tissue, adjusted his mentality, and encouraged his teammates, "Come on, adjust your mentality, we still have a BO3 today? If we can successfully take it later, there's still a chance to enter the final and make a comeback!"
Although the first BO3 didn't go well, as the number one Turkish hardman, he still hoped to seize this opportunity to stay at BIG and strive for a good result.
The other BIG members also nodded, each adjusting to the impact of this match on them.
Especially Tabsen, as a gunner, he could never figure out why the Nice on the opposite side had such exaggerated frontal marksmanship, headshotting him with half a head exposed, just like a hack.
However, things had come to this, and they could only try hard in the loser's bracket match, striving to take revenge on Vitality later.
He was convinced by this BO3 today, but that didn't mean he didn't have other thoughts in his heart.
Next time they met, he believed he would definitely be able to perform at the level he should have!
"The most perfect episode!!" Xu Beifang raised his hands and celebrated loudly in the training room.
Apex, sitting on the right, had already started the dance mode again. RpK on the left wasn't so jumpy, but after taking off his headphones, there was obvious joy on his face.
The strength of the opponent in this BO3 today was definitely not weak, and even the opponent's map pick had a very good reputation among all Tier 1 teams.
Plus the argument in Katowice before, before the match started, Vitality naturally had a layer of pressure in their hearts.
But the efforts of these days, the various disputes in training, the discomfort of various positions and playstyles, finally ushered in a short harvest.
XTQZZZ suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously, "Don't take it lightly, there is still a BO3 to play today. Don't get carried away because of the victory in this match."
In many cases, the coach is the person who plays this role.
Xu Beifang leaned on the gaming chair, stretched his whole arm out, and then shook his fist.
The bald coach looked at this scene, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
He was adjusting everyone's emotions, and Xu Beifang came to do this again.
But he still couldn't bring himself to blame him, and bumped fists with him.
The performance of the whole team today was great. As the team core, it seemed that only the Hero FAMAS saving the world on Mirage and that B Site clutch were beautiful.
But for a professional team, XTQZZZ understood very well that highlights and data couldn't explain everything.
Xu Beifang's implicit role for the whole team was too great!
He was full of appreciation for the Chinese teenager in front of him now; how could he bring himself to blame him?
Feeling the strength from the coach's fist, Xu Beifang lay on the gaming chair quite leisurely.
He pretended to close his eyes to rest, but actually checked the two new suggestion tasks in the system.
【Beep!】
【Suggestion task: Play more actively in the match, task completed, reward is being issued......】
【C-grade treasure chest is being issued, open it?】
"Yes!"
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the halo - Utility R&D Expert. Description: When the host is conducting utility R&D, it can improve the host's utility sense, making it easier to explore applicable utility. PS: Stop rolling! Stop rolling! I can't throw your utility at all!】
Utility R&D??
This thing is interesting!
When Xu Beifang was a corporate slave in his previous life, he watched many wonderful matches, but for some special utility, it was still very difficult to replicate.
Just like the roll king Ropz, those monster-level smoke grenades he once threw.
What birth-point Xbox smoke, what Mirage Terrorist Spawn throwing B2 smoke......
What 6 ways to throw the Door smoke......
After CS: GO entered the online era, these terrifying roll king utilities were not something ordinary people could learn.
Just like the few utilities researched by that guy Ropz, even if he taught you face-to-face, you might not be able to learn them.
There was still a lot of time before the next match, so Xu Beifang simply opened the map-running server and started trying to replicate that smoke grenade Ropz threw from the Terrorist Spawn to B2.
On the side, Zywoo was gnawing on a banana, replenishing energy to avoid affecting his fat memory for the next match.
"What are you trying?" Zywoo was very curious.
They understood Xu Beifang's tactical sense; the birth-point VIP smoke he made in training before shocked their eyeballs.
Xu Beifang suddenly opened the map-running server, and Zywoo was also a bit curious about what good ideas he had again.
"Just have an idea? Do you guys think the Terrorist Spawn can throw utility into B Site?"
"Of course, adjust the B Small smoke slightly, it should be able to explode inside B Site." Dou Dou also heard the discussion here and answered on the side.
"I mean, throw utility from the Terrorist Spawn into B2."
"What the hell, this distance shouldn't be possible." NBK simulated the angle in his mind and found it basically difficult to form.
Xu Beifang found an aiming point at the Terrorist Spawn and threw the utility towards B2, then flew up directly......
At this moment, he finally knew the power of this "Utility R&D Expert" halo.
The utility was still flying in the sky, but Xu Beifang's mind could already push where the final landing point would be according to this parabola.
Then, under divergent thinking, his mind obtained a large number of different parabolic situations.
Xu Beifang slowly started his own attempts.
The difficulty of the utility was very high. Even with the final result, he didn't try it out directly.
Apex watched for a while and found it boring, so he started doing his own things.
Apex was brushing cute pet videos on Twitter, while Zywoo was thinking about what to eat tonight.
Everyone was waiting for the second BO3 match of the day to start. After not knowing how long, they heard applause in the training room.
They looked over at the sound.
"Brothers, come and see, I got that utility out!!"
"Ah!!"
"You really got it out!"
The Vitality members were all curious and stopped their actions one after another.
Because they didn't know when the next match would start, they were all playing some games that could be stopped at any time to pass the time, like RpK playing Plants vs. Zombies.
"Show it." Apex said anxiously.
Didn't think of it before, but if this smoke grenade was really made, the tactical significance would be quite significant.
Designing a fake-attack tactic around this smoke grenade would definitely be a tactical big move on the Major stage later.
Xu Beifang nodded, then pulled out a smoke grenade and started to act.
The other Vitality members also looked curiously.
Seeing Xu Beifang operate the character to walk to the position of throwing the conventional B Small smoke, and then pull the crosshair up......
Where to adjust next?...... The Vitality members were all curious.
But next, they saw Xu Beifang walk forward two steps directly, and a jump-throw smoke grenade flew out directly.
Xu Beifang pressed the flying perspective, and the whole person followed the trajectory of the utility in the air.
The smoke grenade kept flying, tracing a beautiful arc in the air, and finally hit the edge of the B2 window, rebounding into the interior of B2.
"What!!"
The Vitality members were all confused. They clearly didn't miss anything, so how did this smoke grenade fly into B2?
"So where is your reference line?" the bald coach asked very curiously.
They just saw the crosshair aim in the air, and then directly jump-threw.
Zywoo speculated, "Is it the intersection of the left eaves and the extension of this black stain?"
Xu Beifang shook his head, "It's very simple, do you guys see this wooden strip on the eaves under the antenna? This is the reference object."
He pointed his finger at the colon to the right of the FPS at the bottom of the screen again, "Then you use the ':' to aim at the upper left corner of this wooden strip, run and jump-throw under the antenna, it's that simple!"
"You call this simple??" Apex was somewhat speechless.
RpK was also shaking his head and sighing on the side. Because of the special nature of the utility in this game, everyone used crosshair aiming, glove aiming.
But this was the first time they saw someone using the FPS ':' to aim at a close point.
It could only be said to be a genius idea!
"This utility will definitely surprise other Tier 1 teams on the Major stage!!" The bald coach was very confident about this!
Scoring 83 kills on three maps, Woxic finally took the first round of the BO3 with a 1.43 rating.
The feat of letting one and chasing two made him happy, excitedly discussing the content of the match just now with his teammates.
The excited emotions of his teammates were slowly fading, while Woxic thought of his fellow countryman Xantares, wondering how he was doing at BIG.
So he opened HLTV to check. The moment he saw the score, he suspected he had misread it.
"What's the situation, BIG was beaten?"
Woxic hurriedly glanced at the record. Fortunately, his fellow countryman didn't perform badly. Although he only got 35 kills on two maps, he was the first on BIG.
"Is BIG's form so bad recently?" ISSAA was also a bit surprised. In their impression, BIG should be one of the strongest teams in this qualifier.
Glancing at the schedule, he found that BIG's match wouldn't start for a while.
Woxic immediately sent a message to Xantares to express his condolences, "Brother, what's going on? How did you guys only get these few points?"
Sure enough, after two seconds, Xantares replied: "Can't beat them, Vitality's hands are too hot, stepped on our heads and beaten, no chance to fight back."
"People were beaten until they were confused, the opponent is purely accurate."
Woxic teased, "That's because your form is bad, there's no excellent sniper. If I were there, the result would be different."
Xantares: "It's not that one person on the opposite side is accurate, the whole team is in form today. I even feel that Nice hasn't exerted his strength yet."
He was also beaten very suffocatingly in that BO3, and now he was hurriedly reminding his Turkish fellow countryman to be careful.
Hearing Xantares say this, Woxic indeed felt some pressure in his heart.
However, he didn't think he was weaker than Nice.
As the best rookie of 2018, Nice was able to get the Top 9 result. He believed a large part of the reason was eating that outrageous 4-protect-1 playstyle of VP, which led to high data and finally entered the Top 20 ranks.
Otherwise, he and Nice were just people of the same level.
Even if he were in that 4-protect-1 environment, Woxic believed he could blast out data above 1.3, reaching the level of S1mple!
He believed Nice had level. Being able to play so aggressively on the professional stage was indeed amazing.
But to say he had the level of a world-class rifleman, Woxic only thought HLTV was pandering to the Chinese market.
Soon the team leader walked into the training room and notified the players: "The previous match is over, the match group notified us to get ready, the match with Vitality starts in 10 minutes."
Woxic entered the deathmatch map, his left hand operating the mouse to kill continuously to maintain his relatively hot form.
So Nice, let me see if you really have that level!
Xantares was beaten, so let me guard the glory of Turkey!
Vitality vs HR were all ready, and the match entered the BP stage.
HR got the initiative of BP.
They came up and banned Nuke first.
Vitality still removed Train as usual.
HR directly locked Train as their first pick. This decision made XTQZZZ frown. Vitality's map pool was still too shallow now. Even if they didn't play Train conventionally, there was still Train as the team's weak point. They had to hurry up and make up for the proficiency of Train.
And on this map of Train, the gap between them and these teams of similar level was still a bit big.
Coming to Vitality's map pick, after consideration, XTQZZZ said, "Take Inferno."
Although this IEM Sydney qualifier qualification was important, for Vitality, this event was more to verify their practice results, so they had to play against the opponent on different maps as much as possible, at least to understand what strength range Vitality was in on specific maps.
After both sides removed Dust II and Mirage respectively, a Overpass was finally left.
The Vitality members frowned and started to enter the server of Map 1 Cache.
