221. Chapter 217: "Wow! Golden Legend!"

Raindrops fell on the window, making a comfortable sound.

Xu Beifang was awakened from his dream, picked up his phone and found it was not even 8 o'clock.

Zywoo not far away was still blowing bubbles, enjoying a night of sound sleep.

He wanted to continue sleeping for a while, but he was full of energy and had no sleepiness.

Yesterday he won a difficult victory, plus he teased Broky at night, his mood was excellent, which also improved his sleep quality.

There was still more than an hour before the morning training time, so Xu Beifang simply picked up his phone to pass the time.

First, he replied to the messages from friends in his social account, most of which were words of praise.

Even so, Xu Beifang replied one by one; after becoming a professional player, his social life was very little, so he cherished the relationship with friends very much.

Opening Twitter, Xu Beifang saw quite a few people @ him.

As a well-known professional CSGO player, he already had more than 100,000 fans on Twitter, and many fans @ him every day because of various things.

But today, the number of people @ him was exceptionally high, and most of them came from a video.

What happened?

Xu Beifang was a bit curious, clicked on the link, and found it was actually a live stream recording of Mouz team player Ropz.

In the video screen, Ropz was live streaming running the map, touching some props on Mirage.

At this time, someone asked Ropz: "Did you research the throwing method of the spawn point VIP smoke?"

Ropz nodded and explained: "Yesterday I just researched all the spawn point VIP smokes, it took me a lot of effort, Nice's prop thinking is really okay."

Then in the video screen, Ropz started to demonstrate the fast VIP smoke he researched slowly.

Xu Beifang was also watching carefully, making some simple comparisons.

On different spawn points, the difference between what he and Ropz researched was still there.

For example, for a few smoke grenades, the fault tolerance of what Ropz threw was obviously higher, but the aiming point was more complicated.

The attention of the Major match, the novel prop concept of fast VIP smoke, plus Apex's rendering some time ago, caused a wave of prop research among hardcore players in the forum.

But because there were many spawn points, in a short time, players were all exploring the fast smokes of one point by one.

They didn't expect Ropz to have figured them all out silently.

【@, Xu, what do you say? This secret weapon of yours has been dug out!】

【Ropz is still a genius, he researched the fast VIP smoke in just a few days.】

【Actually, it's also helpless, there is no Major to play, and the quality of FPL recently is not high, so he can only run maps and KZ every day.】

【@, come out and test the results!!】

Xu Beifang saw the call of enthusiastic netizens and @ Ropz in the comment section below the video, replying:

"Brother, a few of your props are too complicated, there is no need for that, let's communicate later, maybe we can figure out a few simpler fast smokes."

For the exposure of fast smoke, Xu Beifang had psychological preparation long ago.

CSGO has never had too many secrets; although like Astralis, hiding tactics and secret weapons, and not communicating with other teams, will extend their strong period.

Things at the tactical level, using the big move once is enough.

If you work hard to research, even a passerby team can train to play wonderful tactical cooperation.

As a model of mindless dry-pull, Tyloo once played a top tactical five-ring smoke in Mirage.

Xu Beifang pursues the peak of personal technical tactics, letting himself become a top six-sided warrior.

He was just about to leave this page, but saw that Ropz had already replied to his message.

"Come to TS to discuss?"

Xu Beifang looked at the time, it was only just 8 o'clock, 1 hour away from today's training.

Simply climbed out of bed, washed up simply, and drilled into the training room.

Opened the computer, just entered TS, and heard Ropz's complaint.

"Nice, you are really a roll king, these days I have been running maps day and night, and I barely found those prop points, and you told me that a few of them have too low fault tolerance, perverted!"

Xu Beifang said speechlessly: "You are the perverted one, do you know how much time I spent researching these props?"

Ropz laughed and didn't speak, both are roll kings, the big brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

However, he still admired Xu Beifang, the thinking of this prop was really awesome.

The two spent more than half an hour in the running map server, taking what they needed from each other, before they sorted out the fast VIP smoke 2.0 version.

Compared to the previous fast VIP smoke, this version pursues fault tolerance more.

After all, the biggest problem with fast VIP smoke is instability; to a certain extent, reducing the possibility of throwing flaws is the biggest improvement.

After the discussion, Ropz praised: "The practicality of your props is too high, it's just a pity that I can't find you offline to communicate and discuss."

They discussed online, and some places were ultimately not as convenient as offline.

"It's okay, see you at the next big match to discuss, this is not urgent." Xu Beifang said and remembered the suggestion of body method, then asked: "Ropz, ask you, if I want to improve body method, where should I start?"

【Beep!】

【Suggestion task, learn body method from a body method expert, difficulty 3 stars...】

【Already issued D-grade treasure chest...】

Ropz was stunned, he also remembered Nice's experience, but for him to seek advice from himself, he was still quite surprised.

However, for this item of body method, he still had the right to speak.

After pondering for a while, he asked: "You should understand the concept of basic spin jump, right."

"Know this."

CSGO spin jump acceleration, the operation method is to release the W key in the air, using the perspective turn to provide acceleration for yourself.

Whether it is single-person jumping to the shed in Inferno, or jumping to B Small in Mirage, they all use this technique.

Xu Beifang can jump all these basic map points, and also understands the principle of spin jump.

Ropz continued: "Then I suggest you start practicing from the T1-level map in the KZ server, you don't need to spend too much time every day, just practice for about an hour."

"Slowly climb from T1 to T6, after climbing KZ, then it is the technique of gliding..."

【Beep!】

【Received suggestion, practice body method for one hour in the KZ server, this suggestion is a long-term task, you can get a D-grade treasure chest after checking in.】

One hour every day?

Fortunately, you don't need to train continuously, you just need to open it.

Now Xu Beifang's daily tasks are relatively many, and the time consumed in practice is relatively heavy; if he practices everything once, he estimates that he won't have time to play training matches.

Ropz speaks clearly about things like body method.

This is obviously his strength, and he has spent a huge amount of time on this.

Xu Be

Sensing the silence on the voice chat, Ropz also said with a smile: "You need to be mentally prepared; it's very easy to have a mental breakdown when practicing KZ movement."

"It's fine, my mentality is very good, I'll just take it slow, bit by bit," Xu Beifang added, "Besides, as long as I'm willing to practice hard, I won't end up like S1mple with those old cold legs."

Ropz also laughed.

S1mple's movement—those who know, know.

He's the famous old cold legs of CSGO.

Time passed unknowingly until 9 o'clock, the training time for most teams.

Finally, Ropz reminded him: "If you get stuck on a movement map later, you can also tell me; there are some techniques you won't be able to pass without knowing." "Sure, thanks a lot. If there's a chance, I'll treat you to a meal."

"It's a deal then."

Bidding farewell to Ropz, Xu Beifang shifted his gaze to the backpack within the system, along with the 'D-Grade Treasure Chest' he had just obtained.

He discovered that, unknowingly, he had already accumulated 109 'D-Grade Treasure Chests'.

With a thought.

【Do you want to use 100 'D-Grade Treasure Chests' to exchange for 1 'B-Grade Treasure Chest'?】

"Yes."

【'B-Grade Treasure Chest' has been exchanged. Do you want to open it?】

"Yes."

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1553.2 Listen-to-Advice Value.】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining Advanced CSGO Technique. Please choose one from Zywoo's Positioning Control, Ropz's Horizontal Aiming Technique, B1t's Headshot Technique, or M0nesy's Fish-frying Technique to gain insight.】

In a daze, Xu Beifang heard an old man shouting loudly:

"Wow! Golden Legend!"

He didn't expect this single B-Grade Treasure Chest to open up so many good things.

First was his current good partner Zywoo—this freak who doesn't practice aiming; that formidable technique seemed to have entered his brain the moment he touched CSGO.

As a teammate, Xu Beifang understood all too well how powerful Zywoo's technical and tactical level was.

Especially his positioning control, which could also be called an outrageous existence.

In the previous open qualifiers, Zywoo had once pulled off a Desert Eagle 1v4 clutch.

In that 1v4, Zywoo only appeared in the opponent's field of vision with half a leg; at the time, Xu Beifang was deeply impressed by this positioning control.

He was amazed by Zywoo's handling at the time and pointed to the details, asking what Zywoo was thinking back then.

And Zywoo's answer to that: "Shouldn't one operate like that?"

The little fatty's expression of taking it for granted directly silenced Xu Beifang.

Perhaps this is what a genius is.

Xu Beifang had also discussed some techniques and understanding with Zywoo.

But Zywoo was clearly a feeling-based player, and Xu Beifang couldn't get much feedback from him.

Xu Beifang was also quite covetous of the techniques that followed.

Ropz could make his horizontal aiming look like a robot, setting up the headshot line and turning without even needing secondary adjustments; this terrifying ability was also very enviable.

The following two, B1t and M0nesy, were both members of the NaVi youth team. In the future, B1t became the final piece of the puzzle for the Born to Win, while M0nesy also seemed to have joined G2, becoming that top-tier Sniper that NiKo had been coveting.

Xu Beifang had also matched with M0nesy in FPL and only felt that M0nesy's performance was inconsistent, lacking a bit of stability compared to first-tier Snipers.

Besides, who doesn't know how to fish-fry!

After some consideration, he still made his decision.

【Zywoo's Positioning Control Technique has been selected; building simulation space...】

As he gradually gained insight into the technique, he discovered that Zywoo really hadn't lied to him.

He just made different choices when facing different situations and had never deliberately thought about positioning control.

For example, when breaking through, he thought more about getting information for the team and didn't have the concept of self-preservation at all.

When his position was in the middle, he was thinking about quickly trading kills to get a frag, so as not to let his teammate's sacrifice go to waste.

Entering a clutch, that was when he thought about how to kill the opponent in the most reasonable way.

The overall train of thought was actually similar to Xu Beifang's; only the handling of known information and predicted information was different.

When facing known information, Xu Beifang preferred to use shoulder-peeking and wide-peeking to fight.

While Zywoo did more small-position peeking and then pre-firing.

It could both bait out the opponent's position and had a high probability of instantly killing the opponent.

Xu Beifang still felt he benefited a lot.

After gaining the insight, he opened a map-running map and slowly tried small-position shoulder-peeking and pre-firing at different spots using Zywoo's ideas.

After a while, the members of Vitality also entered the training room.

"You're still here so early!" NBK sighed at the young man's abundant energy.

Looking at the smiling Xu Beifang, his eyes were full of what he looked like when he was young.

As the members entered the training room one after another, Vitality began another day of training.

Day-after-day training is boring, but after more than half a year of hard work, their Major results were steadily improving.

They were only one match away from the big offline stage of the Top Eight; they were too excited to be, and no one would complain at a time like this.

After the morning training ended, Xu Beifang ate while scrolling through forum news.

After a day of fermentation, the forum was now full of information about the first two rounds of matches.

【The Legends Stage matches are really just wild bees dancing; can Vitality actually crush NaVi like this?】

【Renegades also crushed FaZe; my two favorite teams are simply too painful to watch.】

【I, a G2 fan, am almost crying; if they lose one more, the next stop is the airport.】

【Isn't FaZe the same? First lost to Renegades, then lost to AVANGAR; they don't even want their faces anymore!】

【I laughed seeing this; as a Liquid fan, I feel so awesome.】

There were many discussions among everyone on the forum, especially regarding the championship favorites like NaVi, FaZe, and G2.

In the BO1 matches, NaVi was still okay, only losing one match to Vitality due to fluctuating form.

Afterwards, they still methodically won against VP.

As for FaZe, they did have a good start on the first day.

But they lost both of the following two BO1s.

Xu Beifang laughed when he saw this: "Is FaZe treating three BO1s as one BO3? This is hilarious."

If G2's corporate culture is a 14-round choke, and NaVi's corporate culture is constipated offense.

? ¢o

Then FaZe's corporate culture is the classic "hilarious."

As the world's last "hilarious" team, FaZe could often win the first map in BO3 matches, making fans excited.

But they were also the team most often reverse-swept, and fans helplessly joked: "Watching FaZe is truly just for laughs."

Among the several top-traffic teams, only Liquid and Astralis were the most stable now.

However, these two teams weren't considered traffic teams for the time being; they were the kind that spoke with strength.

As the current T0-tier team, Astralis only let their opponents get 8 rounds in two BO1s, which could be called terrifying.

Liquid's performance wasn't that monstrous, but they successfully defeated AVANGAR and NiP to enter the BO3 stage.

Xu Beifang understood even more that this current Liquid was definitely the number one under Astralis!

Except for Astralis, they had the confidence to defeat all other teams.

And unfortunately, Vitality would face this historically strongest North American team in this afternoon's match!
