234. Chapter 234: Dual Berettas Will Tell You the Answer! (6000-word big chapter)

Vitality vs. FaZe

Map: Inferno

T: NiKo, rain, olofmeister, AdreN, GuardiaN

CT: Nice, Zywoo, apex, NBK, rpk

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the FaZe members, GuardiaN's machine was finally fixed, and both sides began to enter the match.

The Vitality side all had smiles on their faces. Obviously, they didn't expect Xu Beifang to open a 661 before the match. Xu Beifang promised to treat them, and they were overjoyed.

During the preparation time, apex began to arrange tactics: "Stand in a position biased toward A for this round, 3A heavy defense, and then I'll buy two flashes and stand in the long corridor, ready to support both sides at any time."

"Nice, I'll throw you a pair of Dual Berettas. Can you defend near the B-site box? If you hear footsteps, I'll throw you a flash to counter-push."

Looking at the Dual Berettas thrown over, Xu Beifang had no issues.

When the countdown ended, he went straight to the B-site box and waited for the opportunity while facing the wall.

On the A-site side, under the condition of 3A heavy defense, they were not too conservative.

Zywoo went straight into the boiler room, then used the spring to jump and take a look at the side path, "No one on the side path, Nice, be careful with the Banana."

At the first moment, no one was seen on the side path, not even anyone holding an angle at the back. The possibility of the opponent's formation being at the T-spawn and Banana was extremely high.

However, their plan for this round had already been arranged at the start.

If the opponent really wanted to hit B, they would rely on the counter-push of the two guys in B to get a numerical advantage, and then rely on retaking to win.

"Boom!"

A grenade exploded in the Banana. Although there was no vision, Xu Beifang could infer that the Banana had been entered.

And after the sound of the grenade, the opponent didn't cover their footsteps either. The Glocks were firing directly at the wooden board, and the footsteps were rumbling toward the wooden barrel in the Banana.

"Zywoo, grab the flashbang. The opponent should be playing a set tactic, wanting to hit B in one wave," Xu Beifang reminded quickly in the voice chat.

"I've grabbed the flash, I'll give it to you when you say the word... NBK, walk toward the B-site."

apex in the long corridor heard this and pulled the ring of the flashbang, waiting for Xu Beifang's command.

Xu Beifang was very careful. He knew that the discipline of a team like FaZe, although not as terrifying as Astralis, would definitely have very detailed offensive details.

If the timing wasn't right, he wouldn't be able to trade for many people with just a pair of Dual Berettas.

So at the first moment, he chose to hold the angle first, wanting to let the opponent expose their information before letting apex throw the flash.

This playstyle was a bit idealistic, but CS: GO players who can walk the path of the strongest are often idealists.

"Welcome everyone to watch this match between Vitality and FaZe, I am Wanjiqi."

"The map is Inferno, FaZe is the offensive side. They prepared two sets of utility at the start. They bombed the wooden barrel first and found no one holding the angle close, are they going to rotate? They are starting to execute!"

"Two smoke grenades given to B, combined with a simplest flash, and they are charging in."

"Nice is standing behind the box holding the angle, apex is throwing a flash from the long corridor. This is a position biased toward A, so now let's see the effect of this counter-push."

Xu Beifang was holding the angle with the Dual Berettas, and then heard a "bang," the screen turned half-white, and a terrorist covering his eyes appeared in his field of vision.

"Da-da-da!"

【Nice used Dual Berettas to headshot rain】

The Dual Berettas fired short bursts quickly, taking down the terrorist who appeared in his field of vision, and then he shouted in the voice chat immediately: "Zywoo, throw the flash!"

rain was flashed by his own teammate, but the subsequent NiKo shouted "Box!" in the voice chat, and the offensive side's attention was instantly attracted.

Then a flashbang flew out from the smoke grenade. They just realized something was wrong, and the flashbang released a dazzling light, making them all cover their eyes.

"apex's smoke-hidden flash is top-tier, Nice used the Dual Berettas to take down one! Two! Three!!" The cheers of the spectators exploded at the scene, and Wanjiqi was also stirred by this sound, "He used a pair of Dual Berettas to make his ID appear on the top right!! FaZe's offense has been dismantled!!!"

"There's one left at the wooden barrel, GuardiaN. Is there a five-kill here??"

Xu Beifang fired a burst with the Dual Berettas, taking down all the terrorists who were jumping around while covering their eyes. At this moment, he heard Zywoo shouting excitedly in the voice chat: "Nice has four kills, help him find the last one!!"

"He's in the Banana, I'll go find GuardiaN myself!"

The advantage of the Dual Berettas was displayed at this moment. The sufficient number of bullets allowed him to not even need to reload, and he still had the ability to fight!

GuardiaN was at the wooden barrel in the Banana, holding a Glock and holding the angle at the yellow wall corner.

The opponent's footsteps were not covered at all. Even with a Glock without armor, he still wanted to get more kills in this 1v5 situation.

But a peek from the opponent made him fire his gun subconsciously.

When they exchanged fire again, the opponent's bullets hit him. He had no armor in this round, and being hit by bullets meant he couldn't even maintain the basic state of a duel.

【Nice used Dual Berettas to kill GuardiaN】

"GuardiaN can't beat him at all; Nice's dual pistols this round are simply too awesome! Good flash matches good person, directly putting on a five-kill, ending the pistol round!"

Amidst the explosive cheers at the scene, Xu Beifang looked at the camera, confidently extended his palm, and made a "five" gesture!

【Damn, this pistol round is really scary】

【This just wiped FaZe??】

【This Dual Beretta play is like a rifle, I didn't expect him to kill everyone with that one flash】

【Is the live opening this intense?】

【...】

Immediately after, Xu Beifang took out an A4 paper from the table and showed it to the camera.

The picture was a meme of Danking's surprised expression.

"Damn, I'm teary-eyed, brothers. This five-kill let Danking participate. I can only say this is 'brother CS,' alright, brothers are in the heart," Wanjiqi laughed, "These two brothers are quite funny."

The viewers in the live stream also started playing around.

【Beifang: Danking, see this? You're not coming up for the final!】

【These two brothers are really interesting, haha, still giving Danking a sense of participation in the final】

【The treatment of a moderator is really good, even have the chance to be on the Major camera!】

【...】

The viewers in the live stream were discussing, while FaZe's mentality was still okay, and everyone was laughing.

Although the pistol round was a five-kill, thinking about it on the bright side, no matter how well the opponent played, they only won a pistol round.

Not to mention, most of them hadn't gotten into the mood yet; this wave was just being caught off guard.

"This is like nonsense. I didn't even have a chance to fire. I was flashed by your flash for a moment, and by the time I woke up, everyone was basically dead," rain laughed helplessly.

This wave was truly powerless. They hadn't started to exert their strength yet, and the round was over.

As the IGL, NiKo also had a smile on his face: "This B-tunnel has been flashed all along, eyes can't even open."

"Let's force-buy this round, use Desert Eagles to find an opportunity."

With an economy of 2000, NiKo didn't arrange any special tactics. Besides flying to the second floor and rushing B, there were no other tactics to arrange.

Letting everyone find opportunities was a good choice.

As the "Desert Eagle Squad," FaZe's ability to find opportunities in eco rounds was still very powerful.

It's just a pity that although NiKo and rain found an opportunity in the middle of the round and successfully planted the bomb.

But facing Nice and apex's clutch, they still couldn't win.

Fortunately, they planted the bomb, allowing them to play another eco round.

Although they still couldn't complete the comeback, NiKo used the Desert Eagle to tap down two people again, finding some feel.

3:0

The first gun round of the first half began.

Looking at successfully entering the gun round, apex felt relieved in his heart.

He was still quite reckless at the beginning, but NiKo used the Desert Eagle to kill people frantically for two consecutive rounds, showing him what the world's number one Desert Eagle user is.

"The opponent should have saved money to buy an AWP this round, Zywoo, you buy one too," apex planned.

Among the top-tier teams, GuardiaN is also considered a relatively pure sniper, and his reliance on the sniper rifle is quite high.

So after calculating the opponent's economy, it was determined that FaZe would buy sniper rifles to play.

"Let's play 3B in the Banana for this round, don't be too anxious, I'll contribute a set of utility," apex said, "Later, Nice, you use a set of utility to clear the points deeply. After taking control of the Banana, just leave NBK jumping to scout at the stone slab."

apex intended to play dynamic defense.

Xu Beifang bought an AUG, equipped with utility, and went straight to the Banana.

At the start, he gave the stone slab fire, apex gave the T-spawn smoke, creating the illusion of only two people controlling the map.

At the same time, only a gunshot from an AWP was heard in the middle.

—Bang!

【Zywoo used AWP to kill rain】

"Beautiful!" There was no pressure in the Banana, and Xu Beifang also praised.

Zywoo responded with a smile: "FaZe's playstyle is a bit reckless, rain just dry-peeked in the middle."

rain seemed to think that Zywoo's playstyle was relatively cautious and wouldn't give too much pressure in the middle, but they hadn't played against each other, so he didn't know that Zywoo's playstyle was more about being reasonable.

Having the opportunity to hold an angle and take a shot at the start, he wouldn't let it go.

Zywoo got the first kill at the start, and Vitality's pressure was even smaller.

apex gave another fire in the middle of the Banana, Xu Beifang cooperated with the flashbang to push forward, confirmed that the tree position and the recess were empty, and then retreated.

"Control of the Banana has been taken by Vitality. On this map, Vitality's desire for the Banana is still very strong. After taking the Banana, leave NBK alone to jump and scout..." Wanjiqi saw NBK's utility and suddenly understood their playstyle.

"This is to let NBK jump and scout alone. If he finds someone, he can use utility to delay time. A fire grenade for 7 seconds, a smoke grenade for 15 seconds, he can delay for a long time until the teammates arrive to reinforce."

"GuardiaN's AWP is probing in the middle, but the timing is not good, he didn't hit Zywoo, and he exposed himself."

"Second time, FaZe still intends to probe toward A, but this round is 3A heavy defense, do they really have a chance?"

apex was the first to rotate back to A, he hid in the recess of the connector.

After the connector smoke dissipated, he took the initiative to ask Zywoo for a flashbang, then peeked out to get information. He saw the terrorist covering his eyes on the left side of the middle at the first glance, raised his AUG, and fired.

—Bang!

【GuardiaN used AWP to kill apex】

But he only fired a few bullets when the terrorist at A1 turned around and took a shot.

Although GuardiaN relies heavily on the AWP to get kills, this is also because his AWP can play a huge role!

He originally intended to put pressure on A1, but hearing the flashbang in the connector, he immediately turned to look over, and sure enough, he made up for that shot.

Looking at the kill information on the top right, Xu Beifang, who had already reinforced to the arch, continued to walk forward and asked Zywoo for a flashbang again.

"Bang!"

The flashbang exploded, and Xu Beifang cleared the middle again.

He peeked out at the first moment and found no enemies.

But when he wanted to retreat, he saw a terrorist peek out in the middle.

"Bang!"

【NiKo used AK-47 to headshot Nice】

The spectators at the scene gasped. NiKo's shot was clean and neat, relying purely on pre-aiming to solve the problem, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Nice's counter-push timing wasn't very good, instead, he was caught by NiKo. rain is also looking for opportunities at A2, he single-handedly peeked out from the A2 smoke, rpk is still holding A1, when will he look at A2, what about this timing?"

"rpk peeked very carefully, but AdreN jumped down decisively, directly taking down rpk!"

"Zywoo took down NiKo who was touching the connector with one shot, then turned to graze the bomb site. AdreN knows how to play; he understands Zywoo's thoughts very well, so he squatted in the small pit in advance to dodge a pre-aim, using the spring-head method to stand up and instantly kill Zywoo."

Wanjiqi suddenly realized: "Hiss... This wave of Vitality's 4A heavy defense didn't beat FaZe, so NBK can only save his gun."

This round was the embodiment of FaZe's individual ability. Even if one person was killed at the start, they could still bring it back to life through the player's individual handling.

The Vitality members bumped fists with each other and began to continue to focus on the next round.

But NiKo's state was always very online. Even if his offensive instructions were not very good, FaZe could often gain an advantage through clutches.

Xu Beifang finally experienced the feeling of playing against a star-studded team like FaZe.

They might not have particularly exquisite tactical offenses, but in terms of individual ability, they all maxed out.

Especially NiKo, who wouldn't pull out an AWP on this map, his performance as a rifler was quite terrifying.

In the subsequent offense and defense, Vitality was a bit unable to hold up against the frontal ability.

Under FaZe's tight offensive, the score quickly reached 5:7.

rpk kept getting picked off at the pit, FaZe could always easily enter the A bomb site, and Xu Beifang was playing retakes every round, which was a bit difficult.

apex saw the team's current problem and said deliberately: "rpk, if your timing isn't very good, why don't you change positions? Let Nice guard the pit for a while. FaZe might have studied your positioning playstyle, otherwise, you wouldn't be so unlucky today."

As the first generation of "unlucky guys" in the CS: GO world, rpk's luck is actually not very good on weekdays.

Eating utility at the start to become low health, being shot in the head through smoke, these are very common things.

It's just that today, he is really a bit too unlucky.

Sometimes he held A2 for a long time, turned to look at A1, and was counter-held by someone touching out from A2. The timing is just so wonderful, it disgusted him.

rpk nodded, and for a moment, he felt a sense of relief.

In professional tournaments, temporary changes in defensive positions are not unheard of, just rare.

But today's rpk was completely read through, and there was no need to continue playing like this.

FaZe didn't go very deep into the Banana, just occasionally counter-pushed in the middle of the round, the default was very sufficient, not letting Xu Beifang touch out easily.

"Let's play 3B to control the Banana first, and then I'll return to the connector, rpk and NBK guard the B-site," apex explained the tactical plan for this round.

Xu Beifang had no objection to this arrangement. FaZe not coming to the Banana to fight for control also made him quite a headache.

Now coming to a frontal confrontation, it couldn't be better.

When the countdown ended, he ran toward A1 with an AUG, "Let's give up the connector early, I'll collect information under the shed, you help me cover A2."

Back when he was at VP, Xu Beifang had cooperated with byali to play A, so changing positions wasn't too uncomfortable.

"3B's Banana directly gives pressure, T-spawn smoke is given, NBK with MP9 directly rushed into the tree position!"

The smooth capture of the Banana at the start didn't make Wanjiqi's face look better. He looked at the movement of the terrorists on the mini-map and frowned: "FaZe just threw two pieces of utility in the Banana to give a little pressure... but actually the main force is heading toward the middle!"

"And now the A-site bomb site and the pit haven't stood anyone, this is the best opportunity to fly to the second floor. Can Vitality's twins really hold it?"

Control of the Banana was taken, but the opponent didn't have any subsequent movement.

And the opponent's control of A2 was also quiet. Xu Beifang felt something was wrong: "Move back, feels like they might be rushing, this middle has no one to probe at all!"

They had already played many rounds, knowing that FaZe likes to probe the connector in the middle at the start, throw some connector fire, or let GuardiaN give pressure with that AWP.

But this round FaZe had no movement at all, only possible that they were thinking of some crooked tricks.

They quickly retreated to the back, but before they could find the most suitable position, they heard the sound of utility being thrown.

The offensive side's utility rained down on A.

"Hold on, we're on the way to retake!"

The opponent's sudden acceleration was obviously not in apex's plan, but this is the game of CS: GO.

The opponent will not follow the script you envisioned.

The B-site trio was on the way, but the offensive side's utility had already been thrown. This wave could only rely on Xu Beifang and Zywoo to hold the first wave of pressure.

"Vitality's twins must trade for effective kills, otherwise, after FaZe Clan spreads out again, this clutch will be hard to find opportunities." Wanjiqi looked troubled.

Looking at the live broadcast, all kinds of utility flew in the sky of A, just like a heavy rain.

The two guys in A were like a tattered umbrella in this situation, ready to be blown away at any time.

But now, it could only depend on the performance of these two guys.

Xu Beifang's sensitive sense of smell allowed them to change positions in advance, otherwise, if both of them were huddled at A1, facing the opponent's flying second floor, they could only achieve a barely numerical trade.

Listening to the sound of utility being thrown at A2, Xu Beifang, who was under the grass car, backed away from the flashbang and then looked up and fired at the A2 balcony.

"Da-da-da..."

【Nice used AUG to headshot rain】

NiKo heard the gunfire under his feet and immediately adjusted his pre-aim while moving, wanting to trade Xu Beifang who was under his feet.

But in the process of moving forward, he was inevitably caught by Zywoo at the bomb site.

"Da-da-da..."

【Zywoo used AUG to kill NiKo】

【Zywoo used AUG to kill NiKo】

"This A1 and bomb site cooperated!"

Xu Beifang saw Zywoo help solve the problem and immediately retreated to change positions.

Although the grass car is an ultimate non-pre-aim position, once exposed, that position is also a bit awkward for dueling.

Because peeking from above, the opponent basically hits your head as long as they fire.

Now that the first wave of exchange was held, the subsequent pressure was not big.

Xu Beifang moved to the pit with the AUG and threw a flashbang at the door of A2.

This is a flashbang that will explode at A1, but Xu Beifang didn't have the desire to peek and fight at the first moment, but threw a one-way smoke down to create a safe area for himself.

Facing the opponent's rushing offense, as long as the first wave can be held, the subsequent pressure will not be big.

Zywoo at the bomb site had similar thoughts and also took the initiative to change positions.

Zywoo on the bomb site had similar thoughts, and after getting the kill, he also actively changed his position.

"Nice also stood on the bicycle in the pit and saw the sniper rifle at the back of A1, and took down GuardiaN with two shots!"

"These two guys in A are awesome! This defense is flawless. Even if the initial positioning wasn't very good, relying on the handling of the on-the-spot decision, they still held the flying floor of FaZe."

Xu Beifang carefully held A2 in the pit, and Zywoo was guarding against A1.

The pressure of falling behind made them not dare to relax for a moment. FaZe is a team that will return the favor if you give them a chance.

Sometimes it's just a small detail, and they can find an opportunity.

Soon there was gunfire from the connector, and apex, who was retaking, caught the last terrorist single-handedly, and they successfully won this round.

"Phew..." Xu Beifang showed a smile again. Holding the pressure of the flying floor this time was quite good.

"Beautiful play!!" apex praised in the voice chat, "This round is too critical!"

apex himself especially likes flying floors and knows how to unfold them. If they had returned to the periphery of A, they would probably only be able to save their guns.

And if this round was lost, they basically wouldn't have any rhythm in the subsequent rounds of the first half.

NBK shook his head and laughed: "You two are a bit exaggerated, I didn't even see anyone and the round is over."

The Vitality members encouraged each other and bumped fists, and their mentality finally warmed up.

In the last two rounds of the first half, they won another round.

The score was fixed at 7:8.
