205. Chapter 201: The legend of the fastest Mirage clearance! 20 seconds straight to the CT spawn

"This Little Xu really dares to push!"

During the break, the Tyloo members who just finished the match are watching the Vitality vs. AVANGAR match.

The mind games between the two sides in the early stage seem very dull to them. Team Astralis's constipated playstyle is headache-inducing, and Vitality has indeed fallen into a passive position.

But following a timeout, Xu Beifang began two top-tier forward peeks, and the continuous key kills are jaw-dropping.

"Although I know he plays like this, watching Nice quietly dry-peek forward from A1 again and again still feels terrifying," Baicai says with a stunned expression.

This kind of quiet forward-peek is generally considered unreasonable in their understanding.

Even if they occasionally explain demos to passersby, they would scold the passersby bloody for this kind of operation.

In their match thinking, this playstyle doesn't exist in the brain at all.

Because when truly entering the match, everyone is a bit worried about taking the blame, and everyone is a bit worried about not playing well in their position.

But Xu Beifang is different; the forward-peek playstyle belongs to his conventional weapon, which is hard to understand.

What's even harder to understand is that he always manages to find opportunities.

Danking laughs from the side.

Baicai looks over in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm thinking, it seems Beifang was restrained when he met us on the first day, he hadn't brought out his full state yet."

Baicai smiles bitterly: "We already couldn't win against his frontal defense, he didn't have that necessity."

Xiaogui listens to the idle chatter of his teammates, looks at the kill information on the screen, and screams: "This is simply not human, killed Old Eight again."

"Is he going to push forward again?"

"Not really, he's steady this time, but AVANGAR specifically came back to clear the point." Xiaogui looks a bit speechless, "This guy is really wallhacking!"

The opponent doesn't counter-clear, so he pushes forward; the opponent counter-clears, so he shrinks back in advance.

Really like a wallhack...

Xu Beifang's understanding of the match rhythm makes them sigh in admiration. If Tyloo could have this sharp sense of smell, they wouldn't have to worry about playing mind games with those strong teams.

Xiaogui feels himself being gradually surpassed by a young man, and the pressure in his heart increases.

But he is a veteran player after all, and he is very good at releasing pressure.

"Tie Dan, tell me, how come people who debuted at the same time, Little Xu has already reached Top 9, and you are still leveling up?"

"???" Danking looks at Xiaogui with surprise, "What can I do? The main team doesn't have my position, and I'm not like that monster Xu Beifang who learns foreign languages so fast, otherwise I would have run away long ago."

"Besides, Beifang's progress speed is so fast, it's actually understandable. You don't know how hard he trains on weekdays. This guy even studies his own forward-peek routes, the king of rollers among rollers."

Danking is also convinced by his own brother. Xu Beifang can only be considered to have a little talent, but later he relied on exaggerated hard training to slowly grow into what he is now.

When they first met, he could still firmly suppress him, but without noticing, he had already been surpassed.

But he still couldn't help but complain: "Really a pervert!"

Since Vitality called that timeout in the first half, Vitality began to chase points crazily.

Except for one round where they miscalculated the economy and were tricked by Jame—that sniper rifle held dead NBK, who was jumping to scout at the white car on B2, and they won a point in coordination with their offensive—Vitality steadily took the rest of the rounds.

The score of the first half is fixed at 7:8.

Vitality is still trailing by one point, but the gap between the scores is already minimal.

"Our defense in the first half was really good." Apex praises in the voice chat, "Maintain this rhythm, we will definitely be able to exert force and flip the match in the second half."

Immediately after, his gaze looks at Xu Beifang: "Nice, those few rounds of forward-peeking were too strong, the key man!"

The praise from the bean makes Vitality's atmosphere very comfortable, and everyone has a strong desire to chase points.

The defense in the first half wasn't ideal, but after adjustments, focusing on Xu Beifang's forward-peeking, the situation slowly became smooth.

The victory of several consecutive rounds built a lot of confidence for them. Now, even if they are trailing by one point, they still have the confidence to chase points and win back in the second half.

While happy, Apex didn't forget to arrange the tactics for the second half:

"For the pistol round in the second half, I will still give the standard Archway inner smoke. NBK, you buy a smoke and an incendiary. Later, you give a smoke grenade between the long and short boxes, and then burn the VIP. I will use a flash to send you into the bomb site area to exchange fire. We will seize the CT spawn to play."

"Nice, you just hold the gun at A2 later, and then come down to exchange fire depending on the frontal situation."

Xu Beifang nods.

Apex always has some strange ideas, and this kind of idea is a bit different from the mainstream.

But in this game of CS: GO, there is no absolutely correct playstyle.

Just like this match, Xu Beifang's aggressiveness and Jame's steadiness formed a sharp contrast, but they still appeared in the same match.

The bean's tactics are indeed not as steady as IGLs like Gla1ve, but sometimes his flash of inspiration can play a big role for the team.

The second half pistol round begins, and Xu Beifang carries a Glock to A2 for a solo-hang.

1 minute 45 seconds, RPK and Zywoo at A1 are discovered by Qikert, and Vitality immediately starts an explosive bomb attack.

Xu Beifang stands in A2 and comes out quickly to find Qikert's side, but AVANGAR's default is very meticulous. After he gets into position, the opponent has already gone far away.

"Vitality comes up with a smoke between the long and short boxes plus an Archway smoke. Vitality is rushing the bomb site to play the CT spawn this time!"

"Nice in A2 is frantically suppressing VIP, and Zywoo on the front instantly kills the CT at the CT spawn with one shot!"

The control of the CT spawn is taken. Vitality doesn't go out to find people, just waits for AVANGAR to come over to retake and find opportunities.

"Qikert stands on the jump platform and is instantly killed by Apex at the short box and Nice at the second floor!"

"Fitch and Krizzen, who were retaking from the CT spawn, were also all killed by Zywoo. Instantly the situation reached 5v1. Jame in VIP has no way, directly saving a half-armor."

Wanjiqi says: "There's no way for this wave, the frontal defense was completely crushed by Zywoo. The frontal duel didn't go well, and in the remaining 2v5 clutch, saving the gun is indeed the best choice."

"Saving a half-armor, AVANGAR can also supplement a FAMAS, allowing themselves to have a certain combat power."

But what surprises Wanjiqi is that after saving a half-armor, AVANGAR didn't buy a FAMAS to force a gunfight, only bought two P250s to try to find an opportunity.

This choice is somewhat surprising.

Vitality's solid Mid control allows them to use the long-range gunfight advantage of long guns. Only NBK was found an opportunity by Jame's P250, and was killed by two consecutive headshots.

But in the end, it was only 1-for-5, and Vitality won this round.

9:8

The victory of two consecutive rounds in the second half allowed Vitality to take the lead in the score.

But everyone knows that this meager lead counts for nothing. As long as one round is not played back, AVANGAR can chase the score back.

Whether they can gradually widen the score is the top priority of the next full-buy round.

Arriving at the first full-buy round of the second half, Apex makes the next instruction.

"We directly come to play a speed change. At the start, seal the B-Small crossing smoke and VIP smoke, and then I will walk to B-Small alone with a submachine gun, and you guys directly give pressure from B2."

The tactics are not complicated, even the ladder can use them.

The countdown ends, and the bean comes to the Terrorist entrance, gives an Archway fire, and then waits for the two Mid smoke grenades to explode before pushing forward.

Hearing the sound of breaking windows in VIP, Apex reminds: "I might not be that fast in Mid, the opponent has broken the black room, I will be slower."

Xu Beifang stands at the very front of B2. As an entry fragger, he actively uses his pre-aiming and gunplay to help the team get the first information.

The opponent's B2 fire is burning quietly. Xu Beifang pulls across and sees a grenade flying toward them, followed by a fly-head jumping from the right side of the white car to the left.

"Da-da-da..."

"There's one at the white car that I shot three times!!" Xu Beifang shouts loudly in the voice chat.

Immediately after, he strides forward directly.

Quiet contact is like this; before being discovered by the opponent, they can slowly push forward.

But once the information is obtained, everything must move.

Xu Beifang doesn't stop his footsteps and pushes forward, and the teammates behind him are also supplementing the supermarket smoke and bomb site flash.

But just as he walked to the window, he heard the sound of a big sniper.

--Bang!

【Jame used AWP to kill Nice】

"Where did the opponent get the sniper rifle!!"

Xu Beifang is quite surprised. Knowing the opponent's character of liking to buy snipers, he specifically calculated the opponent's economy. According to reason, even a no-armor sniper couldn't be bought.

He is a bit stunned, but the exchange of fire on the field hasn't ended.

The moment he was killed by the big sniper, a fire was thrown from near the sofa, blocking their path forward.

Just as B2 is considering whether to rotate or wait for a timing, Apex, as the IGL, shouts:

"Don't retreat! Fight them!"

While speaking, Apex himself has already jumped out from B-Small.

A spray toward a CT behind the B-Small Archway.

【Apex used UMP. 45 to kill BUSTER】

But just after getting the kill, Apex's peripheral vision sees a CT carrying a big sniper walk out from the periphery of the B-site.

--Bang!

【Jame used AWP to kill Apex】

"Apex caught Old Eight's back in the small path, but Jame in the supermarket jumped out and supplemented the shot successfully!"

"The Terrorists in B2 have moved to the white car, Jame is still firing, the big sniper lightly flicks to take NBK, Zywoo wants to supplement the shot, but is killed by Fitch hiding in the white car's one-way smoke."

"RPK turns the muzzle, but Fitch only exposed a head and tail. In this position, he actually didn't beat the MP9!"

"Fitch's smoke grenade is too smart. This smoke grenade was originally to cover himself and avoid the opponent directly rushing the sofa, but it was played by him as a one-way smoke. A crippled MP9 takes two, making a huge contribution to the team."

Vitality calls for another tactical timeout.

"Where did the opponent get the economy to buy a big sniper!" NBK says the doubt in everyone's heart.

The reason why their Mid-pinch-B collapsed this round is largely because they didn't guard against the big sniper the opponent might have.

Because they calculated before that the opponent's economy was not enough.

If they knew there was a sniper rifle, they would have sealed the supermarket smoke first and then played a synchronization.

Instead of following the utility with people.

"In the first two rounds, only Jame killed people, the economy should not be enough."

"Where the hell did the money come from?"

Vitality members are a bit confused.

Xu Beifang calculates carefully.

Pistol round initial economy 800, after buying half-armor, 150 left. The subsequent two rounds of losing compensation are 4300 (1900+2400), the opponent's average economy should be 4450.

But Jame bought a P250 in the second round of the second half and also got a kill, the 300-dollar increase and decrease offset each other.

And a sniper rifle is 4750, the opponent's economy cap didn't reach here. Xu Beifang thinks for a while and suddenly has an idea: "It wouldn't be that these P250s were all given to Jame by teammates."

If that P250 was given to Jame by others, then Jame's economy in this round was just 4750, which is the money for a no-armor big sniper.

"Holy crap." Xu Beifang feels a bit scalp-numbing, "Is this also in your calculation?"

He was a bit strange in the last round, why buy a P250 instead of a FAMAS.

Now thinking about it, Jame just wanted to find an opportunity. If he could get a kill, he would have 300 dollars in economy, and he would have a big sniper to use in the first full-buy round.

Obviously--Jame succeeded!

"This person is so perverted." Zywoo complains from the side.

Having been a professional for so long, this is the first time he has seen a team that calculates the economy so strictly.

AVANGAR, this team's understanding of the game mechanics is rare in their life.

Fortunately, the victory of the previous two rounds allowed Vitality to still have the economy to piece together a full-buy round.

Xu Beifang and Zywoo's positioning is good, and the two of them hug together to A1.

This time they happened to meet the opponent coming to A1 to counter-clear. The two of them cooperated tacitly, allowing Old Seven to see two Terrorists who had already turned their heads after the back-flash pulled across.

After getting the first kill, Vitality continues to speed up.

The two of them charge on the front, and under the full speed, AVANGAR's retake can't react at all.

Finally, Xu Beifang was supplemented in the number exchange, and this quick A-site lift also played a 1-for-3.

Jame and Fitch also chose to save the guns without hesitation.

Vitality takes another point.

But just when they thought the match would enter their rhythm again, the sniper rifle Jame saved caused heavy damage to them in the next round.

Both sides gradually entered a tug-of-war.

Anyone with eyes can see that in this match, Vitality's ceiling is higher.

Whether it's Nice or Zywoo, they are top-tier players and can often create miracles in the match.

But the players on AVANGAR's side are more steady, and there is nothing wrong with their playstyle, making fewer mistakes.

And they will always save a sniper rifle for the team's big brother Jame.

Jame has had a sniper rifle available for 8 consecutive rounds. Vitality cannot completely kill AVANGAR's economy, which leads to them being unable to expand their score advantage.

As the purest sniper, Jame can unknowingly use the sniper rifle to gain an advantage for the team.

His holding point is really stable, even if Nice and Zywoo are held by him, it is very difficult to survive.

The score reached 14:13 without noticing.

Even Xu Beifang, who is an accountant by trade, can no longer calculate the opponent's economy now.

The opponent always has fault tolerance, always has the possibility of resistance. This thing is like a big stone hanging in their hearts, making people worry that AVANGAR might flip the match at any time.

And without noticing, Vitality's economy is not particularly good either.

Once the front collapses, they might even be the first to be given a match point by AVANGAR.

This kind of tug-of-war consumes the most spirit of both sides.

Fortunately, the bean has been cheering everyone up in the process, making Vitality's atmosphere always very good.

The preparation time begins. Xu Beifang looks at his positioning and asks: "I can grab VIP with this positioning, what do you say? Tactics released now?"

Apex also looks at Xu Beifang and notices that he is the spawn point closest to Mid.

"Yes, you just go directly. Now is a stalemate, we have to rely on this kind of tactic to break the situation."

Apex thinks very clearly. He attaches great importance to these tactics developed by Xu Beifang and the bald coach.

Before, they were all kinds of qualifiers, and they didn't have any opportunities to choose specific maps, so they didn't release them.

Now that they are in the Major, if they don't use it at this time, are they saving it for the Major in the second half of the year?

"Zywoo throws the VIP fast smoke, then NBK goes to throw the Archway smoke, RPK helps him throw the Mid flash."

They have practiced this tactic many times by running the map themselves, and now is the time for its first appearance.

The countdown ends, and according to Apex's arrangement, Vitality players perform their duties and begin their work.

Zywoo, as the spawn point closest to the trash can, takes out a smoke grenade, aims at the polygon of the carpet above, squats, walks forward two steps, and jumps to throw.

The smoke grenade's release speed is very fast, and it is also flying toward VIP at a very fast speed.

After the countdown ends, Xu Beifang switches to the knife and runs straight to Mid.

After arriving at Mid, he has already heard the sound of the VIP smoke and crossing smoke exploding one after another. At this time, it is only 1 minute 47 seconds.

RPK keeps throwing flashes behind him, and Xu Beifang pushes forward from the B-Small passage.

The Archway smoke explodes, allowing him not to worry about his side.

But accompanied by a Mid-long flash, a fly-head pulls across directly from the Archway smoke.

"Da-da-da..."

He didn't notice at all that someone had come up on the B-Small passage, and Xu Beifang killed him with a spray from the side.

After getting the kill, Xu Beifang quickly brings a glance at B-Small, then quietly jumps onto the B-Small railing.

RPK throws a grenade into VIP, and Xu Beifang jumps to the edge of VIP and mixes into the VIP smoke.

"AVANGAR still uses the 212 basic default formation this round. Their playstyle is actually relatively fixed, mainly relying on Jame's retake to play clutches and fill leaks."

"But the exchange of fire has unfolded in Mid. Nice killed Qikert who tried to counter-clear, getting the first kill of this round. Such a fast offense, AVANGAR didn't expect it at all."

"Are they going to take control of the black room directly now? But Nice wants more, a grenade, he jumps directly into VIP!!!" Wanjiqi glances at the time, "It's only 1 minute 40 seconds now!"

He is a bit stunned in his expectation, but also a bit expectant.

Wanjiqi understands clearly that this will be an opportunity for Vitality to expand their advantage.

This tactic seems a bit top-tier!

On the defensive side, Jame's positioning is good, and he still takes the big sniper to VIP as usual, preparing to hold the Terrorist entrance crossing.

But before seeing anyone appear, a VIP smoke explodes, blocking his vision.

Jame opens the scope and still holds the Mid crossing, preparing to count the seconds and take a shot, trying his luck.

Wrong!! Why is this VIP smoke so fast!!

At this moment, the time is still 1 minute 47 seconds, and it is only 8 seconds away from leaving the preparation stage!

Perhaps because of talent, Jame is naturally very sensitive to numbers. He clearly remembers that the conventional VIP smoke explosion time is around 1 minute 43 seconds. The opponent's smoke grenade is nearly 4 seconds faster!

"The opponent is a bit wrong, everyone pay attention." Jame reminds.

The smoke grenade that breaks common sense gives him a bad premonition.

Teammates report in the Archway that they have been sealed by smoke grenades and cannot scout vision.

Jame doesn't want to be so passive, actively letting Krizzen on the A-site throw a flash to help Old Seven counter-clear.

A flashbang is thrown, but Old Seven doesn't bring him good news.

Quick rush B-Small?

Jame looks at the black room with some worry, but with a 'boom', a grenade explodes on his face, blowing him into a big cripple.

While tinnitus, he blew himself into half health.

"Krizzen, you supplement to Jungle, we put the focus on the B-site." Jame says while drilling back to the supermarket from the dog hole.

Xu Beifang drills out from the smoke grenade and happens to see a gun barrel shrinking back.

Xu Beifang emerged from the smoke grenade, just in time to see a gun barrel retracting.

Moving silently without rushing to make footsteps, Xu Beifang had grown to deeply loathe this sniper rifle of Jame's that they couldn't force him to drop.

"Nice is hiding in the VIP smoke. He jumped into VIP and waited for a moment; his teammate threw a VIP flashbang, and he slipped right out of the smoke."

"Jame is rotating toward the Supermarket and hasn't been flashed, but his gun barrel has been spotted by Nice!"

"Will Jame still be on guard for VIP? Jame isn't paying attention, and Nice pre-fires to kill Jame directly. The setup in this Vitality tactic is very thorough; no one expected Nice to have jumped into VIP at just one minute and 40 seconds!"

"Krizzen pulls out horizontally from Jungle to trade, but he doesn't beat Nice either. He has already relied on his own individual ability to tear open a front line; A Site has been cleared!"

"RPK on A2 is in position at the same time; he pulls out horizontally and finds the entire A Site empty!"

Wanjiqi said excitedly: "There's pressure on B2 as well. Vitality put a lot of thought into this round. As long as they take this round, their economy will definitely be enough to support full buys. But if AVANGAR can't save a sniper rifle, then there won't be a Jametime next round!"

"Two CTs on B Site are pushing together into B2, trying to save these two rifles. Fitch in the first position trades one for NBK, but Zywoo immediately trades back. Only Buster remains on the B2 platform!"

"And without them knowing, Nice has already rushed into the Supermarket, catching Buster's side while he was blinded by a flash!"

"This game was decided from the very start. This breakthrough routine is top-tier. Everyone on Vitality is setting the stage for Nice. He didn't let go of the 'W' key the entire time, driving a mud truck into the CT spawn in 20 seconds!"

"The legend of the fastest Mirage clear. Don't you like saving guns? I'll kill everyone this round so you have no guns to save!"

The moment he secured the final kill, Xu Beifang stood up excitedly and roared, venting the suppressed emotions in his heart.

The AVANGAR team didn't make any taunting or interaction-seeking gestures.

But this team's playstyle always managed to bring a sense of stifling frustration to their opponents.

Relying on the top-tier tactics he designed, Xu Beifang coordinated with his teammates to devour the opponent entirely, securing a four-kill streak.

He stood up and shouted, and Dou Dou beside him was already so excited that he was making strange noises in the player booth.

"Well played, brother!!" Xu Beifang excitedly high-fived Dou Dou beside him; in his emotional state, his own hand was stung by the impact.

"Top-tier tactics paired with top-tier players!!" Apex looked at Xu Beifang, his eyes full of satisfaction, "We pulled off coordination just like Astralis!!"

The shouting from next door carried over, and there was some silence in the AVANGAR voice comms.

Jame didn't blame his teammates either. Vitality suddenly pulled out their ultimate move in a round like this; he only just realized now that the previous fast smoke, the move toward B Small, and that HE grenade—everything was to logically send Nice into VIP.

They hadn't reacted in time, so they were naturally at a disadvantage.

Losing this round, they only had Buster left with $3200 in economy, enough to buy an M4.

Jame tried hard to calm his emotions to find a way to turn the game around.

But Vitality didn't give him that chance; Apex held an SG553 and executed a fast A1 push.

Three consecutive kills, and A Site collapsed.

Jame, standing in VIP, subconsciously ran toward B Site.

But after glancing at the score overhead, he could only bite the bullet and take on this 2v5 clutch.

The score was locked at 16:13; Vitality had ultimately won the victory in the third round of the tournament!
