183. Chapter 180: The French Superman!

HR calls for the second timeout of Map 3.

The score is currently 10:2, and Wanjiqi is providing commentary on the performance of both sides in the first half.

"Since the team was formed, Vitality's level on Overpass has been quite noteworthy."

"Although apex, NBK, and the others aren't exactly specialists in raw gunplay, their unique experience as veterans allows them to perform quite well on this map."

"As for the team's firepower, whether it's Zywoo with that sniper rifle or Xu Beifang, that guy who loves to push right into the opponents' faces, both can produce excellent results in head-on duels."

Wanjiqi is still somewhat surprised, as he sees Xu Beifang playing very proactively, putting so much pressure on HR that they can barely breathe.

The score gap is already this outrageous; the progress of the rest of the match will depend on whether HR can make adjustments.

……

"Coach, turn the AC down a bit, it's a bit hot." Woxic wipes the sweat from his forehead.

The HR coach stares at the remote control in silence; it is only quietly displaying the ventilation setting.

Woxic presses Tab, and that ID he dismissed before the match comes into view.

Xu Beifang: 13/2/8.

A total of 12 rounds have been played now, and Xu Beifang has secured 13 kills.

When you calculate it, it's actually not that exaggerated.

NBK, nicknamed the Weapon Master, has 15 kills, even two more than him.

But sometimes, the impact on a match isn't just something that can be reflected in the stats.

Although Xu Beifang has the most deaths on Vitality, the number of times HR has been caught and killed by him from the sides and behind is also the highest!

The opponent is just too daring!

At this moment, he can't help but recall the words of his fellow countryman Xantares before the match.

At the time, his countryman warned him that this guy on the other side played very aggressively, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and the final result is exactly this.

After Xu Beifang started exerting his influence, their entire team's offense began leaking everywhere...

They were suddenly forced to start guarding against the Sewer and their rear, making their default setup very rigid.

But it didn't have much effect on the overall situation, only yielding sporadic points.

"We have to deal with this troublemaker first, otherwise having to constantly guard against the flanks and rear makes it too hard to play."

"Indeed, go straight to the Sewer to finish him off. Quickly take Construction and the Sewer, and eat him up from two angles!"

……

The standard 3A 2B opening.

Xu Beifang arrives in the Sewer with an M4.

The large lead puts him in a good mood, but he still has to be serious about every round—this is the lesson the VP veterans once taught him.

Several consecutive rounds of aggressive pushing have already made the opponents quite cautious.

So, Xu Beifang intends to play around with utility this round.

He throws an Incendiary Grenade directly into the Sewer tunnel, and then, after waiting a second, he slowly creeps past behind the fire.

He intends to use the black smoke kicked up by the fire to create a one-way fire for himself.

But before he can even get any information, he hears gunfire erupting at the end of the Sewer.

The opponent wasn't affected by this casually thrown one-way fire and saw Xu Beifang's body.

And peeking to the left is indeed a disadvantageous choice.

"Xu Beifang, watch out, they've taken control of Construction!" apex warns quickly over voice comms.

Hearing this, Xu Beifang immediately extinguishes the fire and prepares to slip away. He glances at the mini-map; Zywoo is still at A Short, so he should be able to retreat successfully.

But just as his smoke grenade extinguishes the fire, the Iron Door is opened.

A spray of bullets instantly mows him down.

【Woxic killed Xu Beifang with SG553】

"That was fast!" Xu Beifang has just finished speaking when he sees the kill feed in the top right corner again.

【apex killed Woxic with a wallbang AUG】

Dou Dou's experience is still rich.

Xu Beifang sighs in admiration internally, then speaks up to provide information, "There should be two at Construction just now, and there should be one in the Sewer."

Originally, this attempt of his was a mistake, and he definitely should have been a free kill, but thanks to Dou Dou's trade, the free kill turned into a 1-for-1 trade.

"HR's push this time is very fierce. Woxic and Deadfox's goal is very clear; after taking control of Construction, they just took a simple look at the Sandbags and came to the Sewer to open the door," Wanjiqi says. "They are using this pincer movement to forcibly control the Sewer; otherwise, being pushed aggressively by Xu Beifang every round makes them feel really uncomfortable."

"Although Woxic's movement was fast, because of Dou Dou's wallbang, HR didn't gain a numerical advantage."

"In a 4v4 clutch, how will HR attack? Vitality is in a 2A 2B defensive formation."

After Woxic is wallbanged, Deadfox quickly tries to wallbang back, but doesn't see any kill information.

Because this exchange happened very early, they still have plenty of time to operate, so after considering it, they choose to probe A Site first, at least to force Vitality's members at A Site to retreat.

……

After Xu Beifang is killed, Zywoo is still holding the sniper rifle at A Short, and B Site doesn't feel much pressure, allowing them to hold off on rotating back for now.

But suddenly, gunfire erupts at A Long; RPK is rushed and killed by two members of the opponent, and the information inside the Toilet is lost.

"Can someone rotate to A to help? I'm a bit passive right now." Zywoo asks for reinforcements over voice comms.

As he speaks, he is also retreating toward the Bomb Site.

Now that both the Sewer and A Long have fallen, the pressure is immense.

Holding both sides alone is prone to mistakes, especially if the opponent is cautious and uses utility to spread out.

His sniper rifle might not even get a chance to fire.

"I'm coming back now." apex throws a Flashbang toward Construction to create some pressure outside B, then starts rotating back from the Connector.

After apex rotates into position, he quickly sees a wave of A Site utility flying in.

apex quickly counters with a fire in the Toilet and then throws a smoke grenade toward A Long.

After waiting for a while, the map suddenly becomes quiet...

"Something's wrong!" Xu Beifang warns, "They might be rotating to B!!"

The opponent rained utility on A Site with no sound; with that kind of formation and amount of utility, they shouldn't have many grenades left in hand.

A second wave of A Site explosion is unlikely, so it might be a rotation to B!!

Zywoo and apex rush toward B Site.

The result is just as Xu Beifang predicted; NBK at B Site feels immense pressure.

Xu Beifang has a glimmer of expectation in his heart, the first Full Buy Round of the first half—

It's also a 1v4 at B Site, and the protagonist is also NBK; will a miracle happen?

NBK peeks from the Sewer, sees two enemies in the direction of the Sandbags, and sprays with the Galil in his hand.

One! Two... what a pity.

The opponent's trade speed is too fast, not giving NBK another chance to operate; Xu Beifang watches anxiously.

However, Xu Beifang's prediction allows apex and Zywoo to rotate back very quickly; the bomb hasn't even been planted yet, and they have already reached B1.

"apex is very crazy, coming out directly to trade, but he couldn't beat ISSAA on the bridge!!"

"Zywoo's trade speed is very fast, the 1v3 clutch has turned into a 1v2. The bomb is planted at the site, but does he know there are two people hiding at the site??" Wanjiqi is somewhat expectant.

Zywoo enters clutch mode, scopes in with the AWP to peek, wanting to find the Terrorist holding the angle first.

HR is very calm, holding the angle at the site, knowing you have an AWP, and not actively peeking you.

Zywoo scopes in again, deliberately making noise for the opponent to hear, then instantly switches to the AUG apex dropped on the ground.

"Zywoo is sneaking toward Water Underpass. He sees the gun barrel at the site first. The opponent planted the bomb and didn't expect Zywoo's speed to be this fast! Now he knows where one of the visible opponents is. He prepares to sneak around from the side to attack, but there is still one person at the Long Pipe; this position is unknown."

"Zywoo fires the AUG, taking down Ange1 at the site first!"

"Hobbit is very smart, retreating directly into the Long Pipe to hold the angle."

¤ttkдn¤c〇

"Zywoo fakes the defuse and holds the angle; Hobbit doesn't come out. He taps the bomb again, Zywoo walks toward the Long Pipe, he seems to have realized something!!"

"Hobbit peeks out to get information, never expecting someone to be right in his face, and is taken down directly by Zywoo!!" Wanjiqi can't believe the scene before him. "Oh! This clutch, Zywoo is expressionless even after finishing it. A head-on 1v3, HR just can't beat him!!"

【Awesome!!】

【Holy crap Zywoo, this head-on 1v3!】

【I saw this monster as soon as I came in, he won even after his position was locked head-on】

【Xu Beifang came to the right place, these teammates are very strong】

【French Superman, I swear!】

【Too damn awesome, he was like he had wallhacks this round】

【……】

The 1v3 clutch ignites the passion in Vitality's training room.

"This clutch was too simple for you!" Xu Beifang finally sees what a human-like cheat is.

This timing is simply too perverted, without a single wasted movement.

After his position was exposed, he took advantage of the opponent planting the bomb and giving fake information to sneak directly to Water Underpass.

He seized the opponent's psychological blind spot, and when he couldn't find the second one, he took down the first one.

Then he baited the angle by tapping the bomb.

It really is somewhat perverted.

This round of twists and turns is truly somewhat absurd.

He can only say that Zywoo is worthy of being the chosen son born having absorbed all the luck of French CS.

From the perspective of performance, Zywoo just walked over ordinarily, took down the first one, and then took down the second one.

But it is precisely this ordinariness that makes it even more exaggerated; for them, it is more terrifying than exaggerated gunplay.

……

Zywoo on the screen is methodically defusing the bomb, and the HR members fall into silence.

This round's tactical approach was very good; they methodically ate up Xu Beifang in the early stages, and although a small mistake occurred, it was harmless.

The subsequent fake A explosion and real B attack were also quite successful, tricking the opponents back to A Site; a very excellent offensive-defensive transition brought them to a 3v1 clutch.

But with only Zywoo left, they didn't make the mistake of going out to find him, so how were they taken down by Zywoo one by one?

Their mental state cracked somewhat for a moment.

They finally found a way to deal with this annoying Xu Beifang, only to be blown up by Zywoo in the clutch; can this game even be played?

Because of the impact of this clutch, they felt the opponent's hot hand.

Or rather, the opponent's hand had been very hot throughout the entire first half, and they failed to secure any points in the next few rounds.

The first half of the match is frozen at 13:2.

……

The bald coach looks at the numbers on the screen, very satisfied, and fist-bumps the players one by one in the training room.

"That's the feeling! Guys, I want you to play the match with this rhythm."

"Xu Beifang can break through at the front and get information; apex, NBK, you veterans use your experience to lead them; Zywoo, as the sniper, hold the pressure and take over the clutch."

"Keep this confidence, and take them down in one go!!"

The bald coach is quite excited.

From his perspective, today's match was played quite excellently.

Everyone performed well in their respective positions.

Although Xu Beifang's stats weren't particularly good today, his defense at the front provided a massive amount of information, and he deserves credit for securing so many points.

Although Zywoo only had one highlight moment in the clutch in the first half, part of the reason for this was Xu Beifang's excellent performance, which meant he didn't have to shoulder so much responsibility.

Xu Beifang alone was enough to disrupt the opponent's offensive formation, and Zywoo's sniper rifle often only served as a protective role, preventing teammates in the Sewer from being flanked.

And RPK, NBK, and apex as the IGL all performed quite well on this Map 3.

The bald coach seems to see the possibility of Vitality becoming a world-class team in this match.

He feels that the current Vitality is only one opportunity away from shining in those S-Tier tournaments.

In the second half, the two sides swap sides; Vitality needs to maintain a good mentality and strive to win the pistol round in the second half to take them down and enter the finals.

"NBK, let's buy a smoke and a flash, and then drop a P250 for them to play with." apex says.

Xu Beifang is somewhat surprised to hear this and turns to look at Dou Dou.

Sensing Xu Beifang's gaze, apex explains: "I've been listening carefully to what you said, and I've been thinking about it seriously."

"Generally speaking, not equipping you and Zywoo with resources at the same time is mainly because there isn't that much tactical need."

Xu Beifang feels a warmth in his heart; when someone cares about your needs and cares about the words you say, it really feels great.

He picks up the P250 on the ground, high-spirited, "How do we play this round?"

"Slow map control at the start, push toward A Long, you find the opportunity."

The countdown ends, and Xu Beifang carries the P250, following apex's tactics.

Pushing all the way from the Playground to A Long, his good pre-aiming makes him a clearing robot.

After clearing these points at A Long, he leads the team all the way to the Stone Slab at A Long.

Jumping up behind the Stone Slab to scout, Xu Beifang and the opponent fire at each other, but neither hits.

"Information exposed, do we speed up directly or what?" Xu Beifang asks.

"Coordinate with NBK to clear the Sewer first." apex says.

They group up to pincer the Sewer, successfully catching an isolated ISSAA, and take him down at the cost of a 1-for-1 trade.

After getting the kill, apex orders again: "Turn around and go hit A!"

As soon as he gives the order, Xu Beifang carries the P250 and starts sneaking forward all the way.

HR isn't that stupid either; although the Sewer door was opened, there was no movement at B Site, and they still maintained a 2A 2B formation.

Soon they see a group of Terrorists at A Short, immediately throwing utility to counter, and attempting to tap them down from a distance.

And Xu Beifang at A Long has already snuck right into their faces.

Seeing two backs with the P250, he aims and then fires.

"Pop!"

【Xu Beifang killed Woxic with a P250 headshot】

The crosshair immediately pulls to the right.

"Pop! Pop!"

【Xu Beifang killed Ange1 with a P250 headshot】

Although the opponent reacted, they didn't win on gunplay.

Relying on his teammates' baiting at A Short, Xu Beifang directly cleared A Site.

Vitality plants the bomb at A Site, leaving Deadfox and Hobbit with a 2v4 head-on clutch.

HR's retake speed is very fast, catching the timing of the bomb plant and rushing out directly.

But Zywoo's reaction is very fast, firing left and right, taking down the two people rushing out through the smoke in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the pistol round lost in the second half, HR's fans also know that this BO3 is already lost.

In the end, HR didn't secure a single point in the second half, and the score of this Overpass is frozen at 16:2.

Vitality also completed the feat of coming back from 0-1 down in the second round of competition!
