201. Chapter 197: "Dan, the future is yours!" (5000 words)

The match between Vitality and Tyloo finally ended. Looking at Xu Beifang, who was beaming with smiles under the camera, the English-stream casters were all very surprised.

"Vitality's performance is really amazing. As a team landing in the Major for the first time, their performance in this Inferno match made our eyes light up."

The caster speaking was DDK. His combination with JZFB is quite classic in CSGO matches and has always been loved by viewers. From 2015 to now, they have served as casters for all Major matches.

The famous scene of Coldzera jumping and getting four kills in the 2016 Columbus Major was cast by the two of them.

JZFB, with a bald head, nodded: "That's true. Today's Inferno match, whether it's the terrifying frontal ability Nice showed as a Top 9 player, or the tactical ability of this French foundation, has points worth talking about."

DDK took the conversation: "Nice, this player, broke into the top 8 of the London Major with the declining VP within half a year of his debut. As the most dazzling meteor last year, everyone was full of expectations for him. During the transfer period, because of NiKo's messy operations, everyone was discussing where this player would eventually go—FaZe, G2, or a North American team?"

"But he ultimately chose to team up with French veterans. This result was unexpected and also attracted criticism. Everyone thought Nice didn't value his professional path and acted on impulse. But the strength Vitality showed today tells us that it doesn't seem to be the case."

"Tyloo is one of the best teams in the entire Asia-Pacific region. They also made it to the Legends Stage in the London Major, and Inferno is also one of their strongest maps, but this match was played without a sound by Nice. In the offense and defense of both sides in Banana, you can clearly feel the gap."

JZFB smiled with his dark and shiny head: "Haha, Nice is ruthless when facing his fellow countrymen."

DDK continued: "And I don't know if you noticed, Tyloo clearly didn't value Nice's point in the match. In Banana, Nice used his unique style to catch too many opportunities."

"Tyloo lost to Vitality this match because they couldn't make effective targeted strategies for him, letting Nice wander around in Banana at will, which was too comfortable for him."

"Nice proved his terrifying strength in the London Major. If subsequent Major teams don't target him, the result will definitely be tragic!"

"When did you become Nice's fan?"

DDK recalled: "I felt this player was very interesting in the London Major performance match, so I actively checked the information about this player in the community."

? ￠o

"As a result, I found that four months before the London Major, he was still a player at the Big Silver level. An accidental event made him want to become a professional player. He started listening to the suggestions of stronger people, practiced day after day, and finally walked in front of us."

"There were no conditions in the country, so he learned foreign languages to actively create conditions. If Nice's professional career were filmed as a movie, the label 'inspirational' would definitely be in the movie."

"This kind of person has ambition, ability, and is very eager for victory. As long as there is enough time, he definitely has the opportunity to walk to the very top of professional players."

"But it's a pity that his age is already relatively old. There are not many years in his professional peak. He must seize all opportunities to let himself walk to the very peak."

The bald one was a bit surprised. They were originally just chatting about the match, but didn't expect DDK to have so many insights about Nice, and it was really well-founded.

Many viewers in the English-stream chat room also learned about Xu Beifang's experience at this time.

European viewers are generally more middle-school, and were shocked by Xu Beifang's experience of becoming stronger bit by bit by relying on hard work.

Coupled with Xu Beifang's wild performance in the match just now, a deep impression was left in their hearts instantly.

You know, many viewers who just started watching matches recently, watching Vitality's match, just felt that another talent monster appeared on the field.

But after knowing Xu Beifang's experience from DDK's mouth, they knew that it wasn't a talent monster, but belonged to the hard-work faction.

The last kill appeared in the top right corner. Xu Beifang watched the match screen freeze, then smiled and took off his headset, high-fiving and hugging his teammates beside him.

Being able to successfully take the first map, they were all very happy.

"Played well, guys!" The bald coach hugged Xu Beifang, "Your Banana play today was god-like."

In this match, he didn't seem to see Xu Beifang appear in a disadvantageous exchange in Banana. It seemed that he could at least trade one, and the guns were softened by the opponent.

"It's okay, the opponent is just not used to my style." Xu Beifang was slightly humble, but what he said was also a fact.

Tyloo obviously didn't value him, and treating him in the way of treating conventional players was not applicable.

For players with special styles like Xu Beifang, s1mple, and Jame, you have to use some special ways to treat them.

You have to counter-target according to their style. Xu Beifang was once targeted by North in a qualifier. The opponent's default was done to death, and the whole field was playing very cautiously.

That breakthrough was really uncomfortable.

But today Tyloo clearly didn't give him special care, and played very normally.

Coupled with Danking's 1v3 clutch that provoked Xu Beifang's fighting spirit, the final result was a flat push in Banana.

"Your Banana breakthrough in the second half was amazing!" RpK praised.

In the first full-buy round of the second half, he cooperated with Xu Beifang to jump the goat and kill two people in Banana, and then used information to expand the advantage and successfully win the round, which was very exaggerated.

"My push forward in the first wave was actually a bit of a gamble. I bet that Xcc's sniper rifle was dead and no one would stand in the sandbag so early. A simple game allowed me to get the information that they threw utility."

"Tyloo is also stubborn. My opportunity in the second wave was actually a bit of a mistake. I didn't kill Danking directly. I didn't expect them to bite the bullet and come to find me to fight, so I was welcome."

Xu Beifang shared his feelings in the match with his teammates.

The bald coach felt warm looking at the harmonious team atmosphere. This kind of team is the team he wants to work for.

The bald one reminded: "Go and shake hands with the opponent, don't let Nice's fellow countrymen wait too long."

……

Spodek Arena studio.

Vitality's group gradually walked to the Tyloo player station.

For Danking, these figures in front of him were very familiar. During training in the youth team a few months ago, he didn't cast fewer matches about Vitality.

So for Vitality's players, at least it wasn't unfamiliar.

Looking at the tall figure walking toward him, Danking had a bitter smile on his face:

"Didn't expect that when we meet again, we are already opponents, and I lost so miserably..."

Hearing his brother a bit lost, Xu Beifang put his hand on his shoulder and comforted:

"It's okay, everyone walks step by step like this. A professional player's path will not be smooth sailing."

"You are just lacking experience now. As long as you accumulate enough big-match experience, you will definitely be able to play at an amazing level." Xu Beifang leaned down and said, "Don't forget, you are Asia's number one sniper!"

Danking heard this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

He hurriedly took out all his recoil-control skills and forcibly suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth.

Tyloo was in a sad atmosphere now, and his smiling face was really not very good.

"The future is yours!"

Danking adjusted his mentality and felt full of fighting spirit again.

This sentence is indeed no problem. He just became an adult and is still in the stage of laying the foundation. As long as he accumulates enough big-match experience, it will not be a big problem to punch s1mple and kick NiKo in the future.

Wait!

Danking suddenly reacted, what professional player's path will not be smooth sailing.

Obviously Xu Beifang's professional path is very smooth. After joining VP, he got the runner-up of IEM Shanghai, then the champion of the ZOTAC Cup, and then the top 8 of the London Major.

Walking all the way, he was fierce like a human.

As a result, what about himself?

The first match of the first big tournament was beaten up by Beifang.

Damn! Mentality collapsed!!

Xu Beifang's figure had already gone far, and Somebody asked curiously: "What did Beifang just say?"

"He said the future is mine."

Somebody was amused instantly: "High EQ, the future is yours; low EQ, you played really poorly today!"

Danking's face turned black, and his mood was even worse!

……

After shaking hands with Tyloo, they returned to their match room, took their keyboards, mice, and hard drives with their personal settings.

"What is our schedule today?" Xu Beifang asked the Vitality team leader. The team leader replied: "There are no subsequent matches today. We will go back to the hotel directly, go to the hotel's third-floor buffet restaurant to eat something, then rest for about an hour, and we will gather in the training room. First, review this match, and then retake training can end at one o'clock."

How relaxed they were on their day off, the rhythm of professional players was that tense after entering the match state.

During the Major, they also need extra training after the match, and it won't end until one or two o'clock in the morning the next day.

A large amount of practice will keep them in a good state and strive to play better in the Major.

Driving back to the hotel, Vitality went upstairs to the training room first and put away their peripherals.

Then they came to the match room downstairs to gather.

After entering the second-floor buffet restaurant, Xu Beifang's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shouted to the muscular man in the distance: "Hi! Pasha!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Pasha, who was waiting for a plate of grilled shrimp, turned his head to look over.

Finding Xu Beifang's figure, he showed a smile instantly: "Long time no see, brother!"

He put down the plate in his hand and walked toward Vitality's group.

Pasha's big hand patted Xu Beifang on the shoulder twice, commenting: "Not bad, you've gotten stronger."

As Xu Beifang's former captain and fitness coach, seeing him again, whether it was CSGO strength or physical quality, Nice was slowly rising, which made him very happy.

Zywoo looked at the muscular Pasha and felt scared for no reason.

If this punch came down, he estimated he would lie on the ground for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Xu Beifang was still quite surprised to see Pasha. He pondered for a while and said, "You should... not appear on VP's roster."

Xu Beifang paid special attention to this point. The last VP got the qualification for the Major top 8. After VP's personnel were dispersed, in order to keep the qualification.

They chose to keep coach Kuben, Byali, and Michu, and selected several players who could still play in Poland to form a new VP, but the recent performance in matches was not optimistic.

But being able to continue playing this match in VP, at least for Byali and Michu, was a good thing.

Regardless of their results in this session, Byali and Michu can share the Major sticker money.

But according to the recent record, they don't need to fantasize about their results for the time being.

"I am indeed not on VP's roster, because I was invited by the tournament group official... I am here to retire."

Pasha's face showed a hearty smile. He said these words very plainly, but only Xu Beifang knew the bitterness under this hearty smile.

How glorious the path of climbing up was, how rugged the road down the mountain is now.

The words spoken by the muscular man were very plain, but one could imagine the struggle in Pasha's heart.

Pasha finally completed his goal. His professional career started from Katowice and ended in Katowice.

Hearing Pasha's words, NBK and RpK couldn't help but feel a sense of "rabbit dying, fox grieving."

Their age is actually not small. This time they were pulled by Apex to form a team, and they were high-spirited at first. But as they played against these young people in top-tier teams, and doubted themselves time and time again in frontal duels, they were also forced to admit the fact that they were no longer young.

Countless nights, they would always think about the problem of retirement.

Standing in front of them at this moment, the players of the same era could plainly say the words of retirement, which was quite a shock to them.

"Then what do you plan to do after retirement? Be a coach??" Xu Beifang asked.

Pasha thought for a while: "Not sure yet, maybe I will be a coach, or go to some second-tier teams to earn money, and buy my daughter the 6658th piano."

"The piano at home is almost full!"

"Haha..." Pasha smiled, and this time he was serious, "Maybe I will hold a CSGO summer camp. I want to mobilize the atmosphere of Polish CS again."

Pasha's plain words expressed his ambition. He wanted to follow Fallen's example and drive the esports atmosphere of the whole country.

"Good plan... but I think it's a pity that you don't go to boxing with this figure."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely try it!" Pasha laughed loudly.

Several people chatted while choosing some dishes in the buffet restaurant for dinner.

Picking some dishes at random, they found a table and sat around.

Haven't seen each other for too long, they had a bunch of things to say.

"Your match is getting better and better." Pasha was very satisfied with the performance of his little brother.

The last top player he discovered at the end of his career, this was a result Pasha never expected, so he also paid great attention to Xu Beifang.

"It's okay, the team has entered the honeymoon period now, and has a certain combat power." In front of the old big brother, he was still very humble.

"By the way, do you know what Neo is doing recently? I haven't heard any movement from him. Wasn't he supposed to lead a second-tier team? Why is there no sound at all."

The old teammates, Byali and Michu, were still in the VP team.

And Pasha started to prepare for retirement. Only Neo's news he didn't know very well. They had chatted a few times before, but Neo had been on vacation and had no specific plans.

Pasha's face showed a bad smile: "You don't know him, Neo's experience is outrageous."

He looked at the Vitality group on the side and chose to speak to Xu Beifang in Polish:

"He rested at home for a few months and originally wanted to find a second-tier team to lead. As a result, FaZe Clan came to him!"

Xu Beifang couldn't believe it: "FaZe Clan came to him? For what?"

"Still the problem of command. After kicking Karrigan, NiKo took over the command. The command is okay now, but it affects NiKo's own state, which is a bit of a loss."

"But Karrigan has already gone to MOUZ, and the contract has been signed. You let him jump back now, obviously impossible. Our performance in the Major before proved that Neo is a commander who knows how to use star players, plus his English is also good, so FaZe Clan thought of him."

Pasha smiled: "Who would have thought, he planned to go to a second-tier team to make money, and Neo still had the opportunity to shine in a top-tier team."

Xu Beifang shook his head and sighed: "Can only say that there are really too few commanders on the market. Flowing gun men, iron-clad commanders, now the new generation is weak!"

"It's okay, the new generation is not that bad. Recently, ENCE's Aleksib and AVANGAR's Jame are both good commanders." As he said this, Pasha smiled again, "And this AVANGAR is very interesting, using our 'four protect one' playstyle to protect a sniper rifle."

"The team's combat power is very high, but the feeling played out is very abstract."

Xu Beifang understood this team AVANGAR. Their relationship with VP is also very deep.

In the previous life, VP announced its dissolution, and after the second Major in 2019, it bought the entire AVANGAR team, making them the new VP.

Because of the team core 'Jame', the style of this team has been very special since CSGO had professional matches.

This team plays very rationally. Once they encounter an unfavorable situation, they will choose to save guns and reserve economy for the next round.

Whether it is the team commander and sniper Jame, or other members of AVANGAR, once the front is not easy to fight, they will try every means to save a sniper rifle for Jame.

This sudden style made many people feel that Jame is a stinky old six.

But Xu Beifang likes CSGO to have more styles, but he feels that the audience's scolding is indeed not bad.

For professional players, this playstyle can be understood in matches.

But for the audience watching the stream, Jame's playstyle has greatly increased the time for saving guns. Sometimes after half a day of utility game on the front, in the next round of exchange, AVANGAR started saving guns.

This match is not passionate at all, making people unable to lift their spirits.

"I have studied Jame's match footage. If we meet them next, it will be a hard battle."

Um... Xu Beifang didn't say that in order to pay Jame's gun, he spent more than 20 days of effort to make the gun-paying win rate reach 70%.

So if there is a chance, he will definitely let Jame see the results of his efforts!
