212. Chapter 208: Designer: I'm really stupid, really

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill Danking】

【Nice used USP to kill BnTeT】

Looking at the three kill messages in the upper right corner, Danking in the training room typed 'gg' on the public screen helplessly.

"This Xu is really a pervert, Outside is too fierce!" Xiaogui looked at the settlement screen of the training match and complained speechlessly.

Although Tyloo's Challenger Stage match had already been eliminated, that day after Danking and Xu Beifang returned from the gym, they told them about Vitality's idea of wanting to practice with them.

The organizers of this IEM Katowice are very professional. Even teams that have been eliminated still have their own training rooms to use.

Vitality's Nuke level has always been a weak point. If there is a team willing to practice crazily with them at this time, the level will improve very quickly.

Tyloo had already entered the stage of public-funded tourism, but facing Vitality's invitation, they still didn't refuse.

Because of historical problems, the level of the entire Asian region of CS: GO is not high, leading to Tyloo wanting to keep up with the level of European teams, must spend time, energy, and money to go abroad for training.

Every time they prepare for a match, they have to go abroad to Serbia, and then find various European teams to practice on a website that schedules training matches.

But because of the level problem, not all teams are willing to practice with them.

The beginning of this year was not bad, because of the results achieved in '18 London, everyone valued Tyloo, a team that had already achieved stickers, and most teams were willing to practice with them.

Esports is like this, strength is king.

But they still cherish every opportunity to play against strong teams. Vitality asked them to help schedule training matches mainly because Tyloo had already been eliminated, so there was no need to worry about some tactics being exposed.

And Tyloo didn't just get beaten in these training matches. Sometimes, they just slowly became stronger while playing.

However, in the training matches these few days, they fully felt that Vitality had changed a playing mode on Nuke.

The mode of rotating personnel to cover and play clutches was changed to a playing style led by Xu Beifang Outside.

Seeing Xu Beifang's position changed to Outside for the first time, they still had some objections to Vitality's position adjustment.

Because the playing style of different positions is different. You are suitable for playing inner site, not necessarily able to play Outside.

Just like the iron plate of Fire Boy can be said to be a specialty, but if you let him play Outside, it definitely won't have that kind of dominance.

So initially they chose to question first!

However, Xu Beifang's variety of ways to play Outside made them a bit numb.

"Monsters are like this," Danking could be considered convinced by Xu Beifang. The defensive position was changed, and he could still play very good stats.

And they could clearly feel the change in Xu Beifang's stats. In the first few Outside games, Xu Beifang would still make some mistakes, but with the increase in the number of training matches, his mistakes gradually decreased, and then he became comfortable.

Saying it's terrifying is not an exaggeration.

It's hard to imagine that once entering the Legends Stage match, if someone chooses Nuke, what kind of shape they will be beaten into by these guys who pretend to be pigs to eat tigers.

At this time, their TS prompted that someone joined, and Xu Beifang's teasing voice sounded in the voice chat:

"What's your situation? Can you do it or not? Why are you all sending kills?"

Danking heard this and immediately got excited: "Beifang, don't be proud, I'll make you real offline later."

"Haha, it's about time, right? Shall we go to the venue together? Designing stickers today," Xu Beifang said.

Tyloo also quickly agreed.

"Gather downstairs, you kid just wait to be beaten," Xiaogui also started to say harsh words.

10 minutes later, downstairs of the hotel provided by the tournament organizers.

"I'll go find Tyloo to chat, you guys go first," Xu Beifang said to Apex and others.

"Who wants to make me real? Is it you kid?" As soon as he got in the car, he directly put his arm around Danking's neck and started applying pressure.

"Don't, don't, don't, Brother Xu is joking," Danking didn't even last two seconds before quickly losing.

Driving to the Spodek Arena, after the jokes, a few people chatted casually again.

Xiaogui threw an apple to Xu Beifang, then raised his eyebrows: "Honestly, Beifang, do you have any plans to return to Huaxia to play CS in the future?"

"You guys can't afford me if I return to Huaxia," Xu Beifang politely declined with a smile, "I'm making more than 10,000 in Vitality now."

Danking smiled confidently, "That's not much, I'm also making more than 10,000..."

"People are in Euros!" Xiaogui interrupted, instantly silencing Tie Dan.

Tie Dan hurriedly searched for the Euro exchange rate on his phone and converted it with his little brain.

1 Xu Beifang = 7.88 Tie Dan!

Sometimes the gap between people is much larger than imagined.

"But if it's 10,000 Euros, Tyloo might not be able to afford it. What do you say?"

Xiaogui's expression was not serious, just like chatting between friends.

Listening to Xiaogui's words, Xu Beifang was rarely hesitant.

As a Chinese player, it's impossible to say that he has no thoughts of playing matches in a domestic team.

Playing matches at his own doorstep, how comfortable that would be. Now in France, he watches foreigners parade every day, and even wants to eat a meal he has to do it himself. Where is it as comfortable as in Huaxia.

"It's useless to go back," Xu Beifang pondered for a long time before speaking his thoughts.

If he could play matches in Huaxia, that would naturally be good.

But it must be said that today's CNCS is still in a period of catching up, and Europe is still the region with the highest level of CS: GO.

Although the peak period of CS: GO esports players is relatively long, Xu Beifang doesn't think he can play for ten or eight years on the professional stage.

Climbing to the peak as much as possible during the time when his professional state is most full is what Xu Beifang wants.

And today's domestic level, not to mention competing for the championship, can't even stabilize the top eight of major tournaments.

The level is still a bit too poor, and technical poverty alleviation is not to be had.

Besides, Xu Beifang is still in a rising period, and even his personal technical and tactical skills and state have not reached the peak.

If his state declines at some point and he starts to go downhill, at this time he might retreat bravely and choose to return to Huaxia to lead a team to play and play some sentimental CS.

Now, CS: GO is ultimately a club match, not a confrontation held hostage by the situation of the division like LOL.

Xiaogui smiled: "Got it."

Afterwards, he didn't bring up this topic again. Although it was just a joke, Xiaogui was actually quite looking forward to Xu Beifang giving a clear answer.

Today's strongest entry fragger in Huaxia, if he could join Tyloo, then Xiaogui would toss some people around and form an Asian galaxy battleship. He thinks he can still achieve good results.

But thinking about it, it's also true.

People's results are going up now, why would they get sick and go back to Tyloo with them?

But this was just a whim of Xiaogui, and being rejected, he felt it was very natural.

A few people quickly skipped this topic and started chatting about things from all over the world.

For example, Xu Beifang's experience in France, or some places Tyloo had been to because of matches, and some complaints about the tournament organizers and hosts. Xu Beifang couldn't get a word in, so he started picking up his phone to browse the forum for a while.

The Challenger Stage match had just ended, and there were quite a lot of discussions about Major predictions in the forum.

Most people's homework passed, because this time the Challenger Stage match didn't have too many upsets overall.

As long as the selected teams weren't too outrageous, they could all survive the first round.

"Pity, I selected both Tyloo and VG, but they were all eliminated. In the end, I only got 4 right," Danking sighed, "It seems I only have a Golden Coin this time."

Xcc said with his plastic Mandarin: "I got 6 right, successfully advanced."

Xiaogui took the conversation: "I got 5 right, just enough to advance."

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I only got one wrong."

Instantly a few pairs of eyes turned to look at him: "Really? o. o?"

In the Challenger Stage prediction, there is one 3-0 and one 0-3, and there are 8 teams advancing below. Adding up to 9 options, as long as you can get 5 right out of 9, the prediction coin can be upgraded.

"Did you not select Tyloo??" Danking said angrily.

Xu Beifang looked at Danking, "It's just Tyloo that was wrong..."

"Originally, I was prepared to put Tyloo in the advancing team before the match, but hearing that you were on the field, I directly put it on 0-3."

Danking: "You tm..."

Originally he was a bit embarrassed, after all, he failed Xu Beifang's expectations, but he didn't expect it was because of him that Tyloo was put on 0-3.

This directly punched over.

Xu Beifang grabbed Danking's fist, "Listen to my sophistry... ah no, listen to my explanation."

"Think about it, putting you on 0-3, if you were really taken away by 0-3, I would definitely be very sad, but at least the prediction was right, which can soothe my mood."

"If you weren't 0-3, then naturally everyone is happy, proving you played well, isn't it?"

Danking looked at Xu Beifang's sincere face and nodded half-understandingly: "Seems... makes some sense."

"Really one dares to say, one dares to believe." The guy on the side almost couldn't hold it.

Although that's what he said, he was still a bit surprised to hear this.

There are a total of eight teams advancing in the Challenger Stage, namely Vitality, Renegades, ENCE, G2, AVANGAR, NIP, NRG, and HR.

If you don't pick based on personal preference, advancing is relatively easy.

But Xu Beifang even predicted the 3-0 team, which shows that he has a range for the general strength of these teams in the Challenger Stage and is very clear about whether their strength can advance.

Although it might be luck, Xiaogui thinks this possibility is extremely small.

Driving all the way to the studio in the Spodek Arena.

Xu Beifang greeted the G2 group coming towards him and walked inside with the Tyloo players.

"Good guy, is there anyone you don't know?" Danking participated in an international tournament for the first time and felt that these players were familiar strangers.

Sometimes wanting to get to know them, he didn't know where to start.

But Xu Beifang felt he knew everyone and could greet and chat with every team.

"This is simply a social terrorist," Danking said.

After complaining, they soon met several designers responsible for player signatures.

So when Xu Beifang was invited over by a designer, they were not surprised.

Danking was also full of expectations. This was his first sticker.

He had long thought that after the sticker came out, he would buy a Redline and stick four big 'Danking's on it.

By then, every time he killed someone, he would press 'F' to look at the gun.

Imagining the scene of the gold sticker shining in the sun, his sticker would definitely be as hard to find as Beifang's, right!

Imagining that scene, Danking felt wonderful.

The designer with sparse hair saw Nice again.

Nice almost gave him a cerebral hemorrhage in the last Major, and his performance on the field was beautiful, which made it hard for him not to leave a deep impression.

At the London Major, Xu Beifang's fancy operations were still fresh in his memory.

So this time designing the player signature, he specially chose Xu Beifang.

Because the schedule was tight, the tournament organizers collected the players' personal thoughts a few days ago, which was slightly different from the situation of communicating on-site throughout the process last time.

So after getting Nice's requirements, he had long designed several versions, whether the style was simple, elegant, or domineering, he had designed them, just to see Nice's affirmative look.

But recalling Nice's picky personality last year, he picked an initial version on the tablet and handed it over.

Xu Beifang took the tablet, and the golden sticker came into view.

This time, he wanted to add Chinese character elements next to the ID.

The golden ID, below is a line of relatively compact Chinese characters: "Spring breeze is proud, horse hooves are fast!"

Xu Beifang's eyes lit up and gave a thumbs up to the designer in front of him: "This is the effect I want. Just move this text to the right a bit more."

'Spring breeze is proud, horse hooves are fast, seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day' — this is a poem he likes very much. Xu Beifang hopes that in the next Major, he can make a breakthrough and truly realize 'seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day'.

The designer was prepared to welcome Nice's pickiness and was ready to show him the second version, the third version, and even the fourth version.

As a result, this damn first draft passed??

Weren't the few versions I drew later in vain??

"Take a look at the back, I also designed several versions, maybe you have other thoughts?" He didn't want his work results to be wasted and rushed to let Xu Beifang put forward some opinions.

Xu Beifang waved his hand: "This is already very good. I like your design, just do it according to this."

Hearing the other party's praise, he should have been very happy.

But the breeze blew his sparse hair, Nice had already gone to chat with other players. He looked at the several versions he spent a lot of effort designing and was a bit tearful.

Before seeing Nice, he only wanted to see the other party's satisfied face.

But now Nice is satisfied, but he can't laugh.

He thought he was extremely smart, prepared the design in advance, and made versions of several styles.

Nice chose an initial draft and just ended it after simple changes.

Where did your picky energy from last year go??

Come and continue to be picky!!

The designer shook his head and muttered: "I'm really stupid, really..."
