Chapter 242: 247. Chapter 242: Xu Beifang

247. Chapter 242: Xu Beifang: "Tie Dan, I've..."

After Xu Beifang entered a rest state in the country, the transfer period after the Katowice Major officially began to change.

Famous French leaker neL responded to the news circulating in the community about "kennyS and Vitality in negotiations":

"It's all fake, they haven't even communicated."

This caused a huge uproar in the forum. Currently, the hottest team on the professional circuit is definitely Astralis, who just won the Katowice Major and became a three-time champion.

But on a global scale, Vitality, which was able to enter the Major Top 4 just half a year after its creation, also has a huge amount of fans. Because of the powerful strength of Nice and Zywoo in the team, it is already one of the four major traffic teams.

Everyone is also very clear that Vitality's current roster has reached its limit. If they want to compete for the championship, they must change the lineup next.

Vitality doesn't intend to completely become an international lineup, so they can only find members from the French pool.

Although kennyS's position conflicts somewhat with Zywoo, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zywoo's rifle is also top-notch. If a certain position is replaced, then theoretically, the ceiling of this lineup will be very high.

It seems that even the French leak god neL actually makes mistakes regarding some core aspects of transfers.

As a core member of Vitality, Xu Beifang understood.

Although there was no thought of pulling kennyS at first, after hearing shox say that kennyS's contract was also expiring during the transfer period, they took the initiative to try it.

It's just a pity that G2 painted a lot of big pictures for kennyS.

For example, the addition of the new commander nexa, and NiKo's cousin huNter-, the future is bright.

Vitality finally dug jackz away, which they didn't expect.

As a role player, jackz's performance in G2 this year was not beautiful, but he was qualified as an atmosphere group member.

However, they didn't feel sorry for being replaced, just a bit of a pity. After all, Vitality bought out jackz's contract.

Vitality also quickly announced directly: "shox, jackz, welcome to join the Vitality team. I hope we will work together in the upcoming matches!"

This was the first official news of the transfer period and also caused a lot of discussion.

Although shox was kicked out, no one would think that this French legend's strength was too weak.

Instead, it was because of shox's excellent clutch performance that they had a lot of expectations for Vitality's follow-up.

jackz is still a bit of a transparent existence in first-tier matches, but many G2 fans quite like this older rifleman because he is a good atmosphere group member.

Besides the personnel changes of the two French teams, the second big melon is the change of mouz that many insiders know.

Compared to other teams, mouz's performance in the last few months can be said to be a mess.

They lost to Valiance (the team of the Gambler God and the cousin) twice and drowned in the European Minor stage. This made mouz's management decide to rebuild around ropz. The new lineup is now luxurious.

Immediately after, it was Xu Beifang's old club, VP, choosing to release all members of the original lineup and then buying the entire AVANGAR team that performed well in this Major.

The audience called it outrageous when they saw this news, and everyone expressed in the transfer period news: "VP bought a heritage."

This joke mainly stems from the team's playstyle during Xu Beifang's time at VP. At that time, Neo chose 4-protect-1. Once the match was unfavorable, he would choose to save his long gun to facilitate a comeback in subsequent rounds.

And AVANGAR's playstyle is also 4-protect-1, but their frequency of saving guns is too high, and the matches are sleepy and criticized.

The remaining transfer period news is relatively flat.

For example, NRG recruited Tarik, Green Dragon recruited chopper...

Of course, there are still quite a few fun-loving people in the current transfer period, spreading fake news crazily.

For example, Xu Beifang is communicating with FaZe, and communicating with Astralis.

Xu Beifang himself didn't know about this.

Even more outrageous things came. Because he matched with Uzi recently, domestic fun-loving people even said on the foreign network that he was negotiating with RNG.

Xu Beifang was very speechless. He felt that this would become a fixed link in every transfer period in the future.

But in a chat with pasha before, his old brother Neo and FaZe hadn't communicated well. FaZe was obviously still hesitant because NiKo's command was at least very fierce from the data.

During the transfer period, NiKo posted travel photos on Twitter crazily, having a great time everywhere.

However, on a certain Sunday, Xu Beifang finally discovered that NiKo had @ him.

He clicked in to check, and NiKo's promised "one-tap technique" was finally fresh out of the oven.

Xu Beifang clicked on the video and saw the mustachioed NiKo say:

"Hello everyone, because of the urging of that annoying guy Nice, I had to release this video."

"Nice said I am the best one-tap player in the world. He asked me how to practice, and I thought about it for a long time and finally made this video."

When he heard Xu Beifang praise him like that, NiKo was actually very happy.

His one-tap accuracy is very high, and he has also performed many one-tap operations in matches.

But when it comes to one-tap, in the history of CS: GO, you can't avoid ScreaM, who is a guy who only plays one-tap.

NiKo's one-tap has always been compared with ScreaM.

The recognition of a professional-level player like Nice is very gratifying.

Barrage kept floating across the video:

【Nice, that annoying guy, laughing】

【What a doting tone, you two must have something going on】

【Nice is really hardworking, other players say he wants to become stronger】

【Heard that Nice asked xyp9x after Katowice, but was rejected】

【Danes are like this】

【...】

In the picture, NiKo continued: "He asked me about one-tap techniques. Actually, it's very simple. Put the crosshair on the opponent's head, and then fire, that's it."

Xu Beifang:???

What kind of humblebrag is this??

His words made Xu Beifang think of that hanging picture in the forum.

Here is an AK-47, left-click to fire, alright, you can go challenge them now.

In the picture are the members of Astralis with straight faces.

In the video, like Xu Beifang's reaction, question marks filled the screen in an instant.

Fortunately, NiKo was just joking, and the next content began:

"Regarding one-tap, a large part of it is because of talent, but there is also a process of deliberate practice. In the whole of last year, I have been using a dynamic crosshair."

NiKo demonstrated it to everyone. Now his crosshair is a dot, but it expands significantly the moment he fires.

"I will use this crosshair as a reference during practice to remind me to perform mandatory one-tap firing. As for my usual practice, most of it depends on different matches. If it's an online match, I will enter Deathmatch to find the feel.

But for offline matches, many times there is no way to connect to the Deathmatch server, so I can only perform aim-bot training."

"In Deathmatch, in most cases, I will choose one-tap to kill the opponent. Only in very close-range situations will I use spraying to kill people quickly.

Then I'll give ordinary players watching this video a piece of advice: you must maintain your habits, don't practice blindly and messily. My practice habits are not bad, but they are also based on me."

"The special thing about Nice is that he can know where his strengths and weaknesses are and practice specifically, but ordinary players can't do this, so you have already determined your CFG or practice habits, you have to determine them and practice little by little."

"Nice can practice six or seven different items in a day, ordinary players don't learn blindly..."

Listening to NiKo's complaint about him, Xu Beifang also laughed.

This is perhaps the biggest difference between him and other players.

The system's data visualization allows him to make real-time adjustments.

For example, his gun practice now, every duel has a clear plan on how to fire.

This duel didn't go well, how to adjust in the next one, Xu Beifang's thinking has always been clear.

But ordinary players have a vague understanding of their own personal state, and blind learning will only make them worse and worse.

In the process, NiKo also explained his insight into the one-tap technique.

For example, using one-tap technique at medium distance is the best, at low health, it is best to aim at the head for the first shot, and when pushing together, don't use one-tap technique, because it is easy to get sick...

NiKo doesn't hide his secrets. He said all the one-tap understandings he could think of in this video.

Top players have their own pride. He doesn't think that if he says his understanding, someone will be able to surpass him.

Xu Beifang doesn't care about this. He is still the same idea, learn from others' strengths to make up for his own weaknesses.

Just like NiKo's understanding, the one-tap technique plays a big role in solo-touching and clutching.

He is now practicing short-burst, spray transfer, and spraying very well, but one-tap is a weak link.

If he can practice one-tap technique very well, then he can have more means in solo breakthroughs and clutching.

Xu Beifang began to practice according to the techniques mentioned in NiKo's video.

After changing to that dynamic crosshair, he also realized why NiKo said this crosshair would force him to use one-tap.

Because this crosshair is really not suitable for spraying.

A magazine of spraying down, because the crosshair expands too much, there is no reference object to adjust during spraying, which is very uncomfortable.

Xu Beifang tried a wave in Deathmatch, and many spray transfers that could have been played before would now be crooked.

However, he had a sudden inspiration: if he practiced spray transfer well in this way, would the muscle memory of the screen center and spraying be stronger later?

But this is not what Xu Beifang needs to practice now. He still followed NiKo's saying step by step and deliberately practiced one-tap in Deathmatch.

The initial change was not obvious, but after a few days, he could feel that the accuracy of his positioning had become higher.

Basically, one positioning could pull the crosshair near the opponent's model, and then only a very small range of fine-tuning was needed to headshot the opponent.

Xu Beifang felt he benefited a lot.

However, just as he was working hard to practice one-tap techniques, trivial matters in life still disrupted his rhythm.

The blind date arranged by Mother Xu is here!

March 15, 2019, Shijiazhuang, the weather is clear, suitable for meeting friends.

Inside a very ordinary hot pot restaurant.

The red-haired goblin elite grinned and laughed: "Beifang, you're really something. I thought you really came to play with us, but it turned out to be avoiding being pressured to marry."

"Tell us, how does the blind date feel?" Machine asked while playing with a stinky egg.

Unlike Xu Beifang, this single dog, he found his partner very early and didn't have this kind of blind date experience. At this moment, he was so curious.

"Quite interesting, and quite annoying." Xu Beifang picked up a few beef rolls from the spicy pot, rolled them in sesame sauce, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Let me pick a few interesting ones for you... One was introduced by my sister-in-law's aunt. She came up like interrogating a prisoner, asking me what my job is, if I have a car or house, and what my monthly income is now."

"I just said I don't have a car or house now, but my monthly income is about 30,000."

Tie Dan laughed: "Quite humble."

They had talked about income at Katowice before, and he and Xu Beifang were seven or eight times apart. Tie Dan was so jealous.

Although he is a rich second generation, taking money from home always gives a sense of indebtedness, which is completely different from the feeling of earning money himself.

"Then what did the girl say?"

Xu Beifang laughed: "She wasn't satisfied. She said 30,000 is barely okay, and then I asked about her salary, and she said she earned 3,000 a month."

"Ah? Then where did she get the confidence." Machine was stunned. You earn 3,000 and look down on 30,000, what kind of logic is this.

And not to mention 30,000, even if it's 10,000 a month, it has already defeated 90% of young people.

Xu Beifang shrugged: "Who knows!"

Tie Dan took a bite of the pissing beef ball and was scalded by the soup inside, but still asked like eating melon: "What about the interesting ones?"

"Interesting ones... This blind date was recognized. I actually met one of my fans. She was so enthusiastic, do you know I was somewhat flattered?"

"You still have female fans??" Tie Dan shook his head, full of disbelief.

Machine analyzed very rationally: "This is very normal. Although Beifang is not that handsome, at least he is decent, and he has a unique personality charm, which is actually quite attractive to girls."

Danking still shook his head, refusing to believe it even to death.

"Also, a kindergarten teacher introduced by my sister-in-law before was also very interesting. Every time she spoke, she would start making movements with her hands..."

Machine commented: "I know this. Because you need to teach young children, body movements need to be very exaggerated. The kindergarten teachers I know are all like this. Then why didn't it continue?"

"Because that girl made me feel like I was 18 years younger. She always treated me like a doll, hard to handle..."

Xu Beifang finally concluded: "Let a group of people in the male group who are least likely to pursue the opposite sex pursue the group of women who are hardest to pursue... Blind dates are very unreasonable."

(Except for the female fan's, the others are adapted from the author's personal experience)

"I definitely won't go on blind dates in the future..." Danking gnawed on a piece of corn, not knowing what he was thinking, and the arc of his mouth also hooked up, "Like me, who is so handsome, I will definitely have to pick from female fans in the future!"

Machine patted Tie Dan: "Just lie to the brothers, don't go out and talk nonsense."

Xu Beifang was treated as a child by the blind date object, and Danking was really like a child in front of girls.

This naturally attracted Danking's angry glare, but this guy also had no temper. After a while, he laughed and chatted with the two again.

After eating for a while, Machine remembered the update of the vacation club recently and asked: "Beifang, the vacation club updated a lot of things yesterday, what do you think about this?"

Yesterday morning, CS: GO ushered in a milestone update:

Among them, the criticized AUG price was adjusted from 3,000 to 3,300.

The M4A1 magazine capacity was adjusted from 20 to 25, and the reserve ammunition was 75.

Then the economic system was also adjusted.

Tie Dan said: "AUG rose by 300, it will have a certain impact on the match, but the overall impact is not big."

The current AUG is really too strong. Its appearance rate in professional matches is the highest weapon besides the AK-47. Even quite a few teams will take it and use it after picking up an AUG on the offensive end.

"Indeed, just rising by 300, the overall impact is not big, unless it rises by another 300, or reduces the magazine capacity, reduces the bullet speed, which is a substantial impact on AUG." Xu Beifang said.

Everyone actually has similar views. He scrolled through Twitter all morning after the update yesterday. NiKo and device both stated on Twitter that AUG only rising by 300 has little impact.

And the second weapon change, M4A1 only adjusted the magazine capacity, still can't change its appearance frequency.

device stated on Twitter yesterday that he is a loyal A1 user, but unfortunately, the current A1 firing rate is too slow and the damage is too low. It will take a few more adjustments for this weapon to enter professional matches.

Danking continued: "But I didn't understand the economic adjustment. Will there be more overall economy in the future?"

Xu Beifang shook his head: "There will be fewer ECO rounds in the future." The existing economic rewards have not changed, still starting from 1400, every time you lose one more, the reward increases by 500, up to a maximum of 3400 for five consecutive losses.

Xu Beifang said: "This economic change is mainly in the aspect of economic reset."

In the previous version, after losing 5 rounds and winning one round, and then losing one round, the economic compensation would become 1400. This is the so-called economic reset.

"Now after the update, after losing 5 rounds and winning one round, and then losing one round immediately, the economic compensation will become 2900."

Tie Dan was confused, "Still don't understand."

Xu Beifang took a napkin from the side and tore it into several small strips.

"The current economy is that when you win a round, the economic level on the right in the game drops by one level, and conversely, when you lose a round, you add one. In the simplest words, the more you lose, the more economy you have, and the more you win, the less economy you add."

Machine understood: "That is, the economic reset has disappeared directly, the overall economy in the match has increased, and it is difficult to see two consecutive rounds of ECO."

Xu Beifang gave Machine a thumbs up: "Exactly! That's what it means."

"Then the matches in the future will definitely be more exciting." Machine's eyes lit up. As a commentator, he still hopes to see the strong competitive attitude of both teams.

That way the match will be more exciting, and more people will watch it.

This can be seen from the fact that the viewership of AVANGAR's matches among first-tier teams is the lowest.

No one wants to watch this kind of match where they constantly save snipers, full of garbage time, making people sleepy.

Xu Beifang also knows that this economic mechanism adjustment will make those teams that like to play hard and have strong personal abilities even stronger.

Those teams that are good at using the economy will be a bit uncomfortable.

Because the current version of the economic mechanism is a bit towards mindless hard-playing.

Machine drank a sip of Sprite and turned to look at Xu Beifang: "But speaking of which, you are really fierce now. The world ranking was also updated yesterday, and Vitality is now ranked 7th in the world."

At the peak of Tyloo, they were only ranked 10th in the world.

Vitality's bravery in this Major allowed them to cross many levels and directly enter the ranks of the world's top 10.

Now Vitality can also say to the outside world that they are a real world-class first-tier team.

"But speaking of which, Astralis is really fierce, how long have they been hanging at World No. 1." Tie Dan complained while scrolling through his phone.

As a professional player, he clearly felt the power of Astralis.

Sometimes he wondered, how did the 18 Tyloo kill Astralis?

Although it was only one map, he was really curious that such a strong Astralis would lose to the guys like Xiaogui.

Xu Beifang added: "Astralis's current score is 1000, ranking first among all teams. There is a premise for this—1000 is not Astralis's limit, it is the limit of the leaderboard!"

"Can only say Astralis is really terrifying, but I quite want to compete with them."

Although Astralis's props are very strong, as a breakthrough player, Xu Beifang and electronic are two extremes.

Electronic's playstyle is rigid, and he is really unlucky in the match.

Xu Beifang is only occasionally unlucky, but agile positioning often allows him to avoid a lot of damage.

Machine also came all the way for Xu Beifang's matches. He still remembers many fragments. Xu Beifang grabbed Banana Road alone, and among the props on the opposite side, he only lost single-digit health.

He is too sensitive to props... No, it should be said that a lot of experience makes him know how to avoid the prop control damage of the other side, which can be considered as tempered steel.

So what kind of sparks can Astralis, a group of prop masters, rub against Xu Beifang, a prop avoider? Machine thinks it must be very interesting.

After chatting for a while, there was nowhere to go late at night, so they finally chose to find an esports hotel to play together.

For several practitioners in the CS: GO industry, it seems that besides games, there are no other special pleasures.

When Danking was eating before, he posted a group photo of the three of them in the dynamic. After arriving at the hotel, he found that the friends in the fan group were making trouble.

Simply opened the live stream and chatted with the audience.

It was already late at night, so they quickly pulled two friends with similar scores and started a five-man happy car.

Matching opponents of similar strength...

While still matching, Xu Beifang had nothing to do and changed his avatar and ID to Mai-senpai.

Because of recent blind dates and chasing anime, he finally realized the charm of Mai-senpai.

Danking saw Xu Beifang tinkering with something and leaned over to look: "My measure! Two-dimensional!"

"What's wrong with two-dimensional! Did two-dimensional eat your family's rice?" Xu Beifang indicated that Danking's aggression was too low.

Because it was an esports hotel, the settings were a bit different. After Danking downloaded the CFG, he fired in Deathmatch for fine-tuning.

Xu Beifang looked at Danking's screen in Deathmatch, and that four-consecutive Danking was really good-looking, so he asked: "Tie Dan, how much is your sticker per piece?"

Danking chewed betel nut in his mouth and said vaguely: "A little over 300."

"No way, what's going on? Why is Dan Zong's sticker so cheap?" Xu Beifang played, and said with a look of surprise: "Dan Zong's sticker shouldn't be this price!"

"No, Tie Dan, I'll bring some goods for you today, no matter what, I have to burn your sticker."

"Don't, don't, don't... brother, this is quite good." Tie Dan chewed betel nut in his mouth, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be pressed down, "I'm worth this price!"

Xu Beifang waved his hand: "No, I have to bring some goods for you no matter what."

Hearing the discussion between the brothers in the live stream, the audience understood instantly!

【Tie Dan, I just bought a gold sticker, why is the sender you!】

【Received!】

【Nice warehouse No. 369 received, add position!】

【Received, full position!!】

【Don't say it, the buff has been swept empty!】

Looking at the barrage in the live stream, Xu Beifang began to imitate those goods-bringing streamers: "Not to mention anything else, being a brother is in the heart. Seeing the price of Danking's sticker, I also feel very uncomfortable."

"Don't be sad, my gold content is right here!" Tie Dan's mouth hooked up.

Xu Beifang continued: "Today is the time to prove the gold content of IDan. Let's say can we beat down the price of the sticker and let more audiences enjoy this sticker!"

"Can!... Sigh!!" Danking answered subconsciously, but froze instantly, "Beat down the price of my sticker!!"

"Right!" Xu Beifang nodded with a smile, "Otherwise how can our IDan enjoy the four-consecutive Danking sticker?"

【Laughing numb, hahaha】

【I thought Beifang really wanted to help Tie Dan bring goods, but he beat down the price for him】

【God, IDan can enjoy four-consecutive gold stickers】

【Go, don't say it, Danking sticker is already 280!】

【Is this really the speed of CNCS?】

Tie Dan hurriedly opened the buff and searched for his sticker.

Ho! Good guy, it's already 250!

Worthy of the speed of CNCS.

"You really deserve to die!" Danking didn't know how many times he had said this to Xu Beifang.

However, although the sticker price fell, it didn't matter to Danking.

After all, although the sticker is his name, the high or low price will not affect him, and he doesn't plan to hoard his own gold sticker as a guide dog.

At this time, the match was matched successfully, and in laughter, both sides officially entered the match.

The map is Dust II.

They started on the defensive side.

Because it was playing together, it was a team with some entertainment nature, so Xu Beifang played very casually.

He suddenly had a special idea at this time and shouted: "Tie Dan, how is your pistol?"

"That must be okay, my USP is a real god!"

Xu Beifang nodded: "Then you just come to the blue car and output under my crotch!"

Danking:???

Immediately after, Xu Beifang explained the details, and he finally understood what it meant.

Xu Beifang planned to play a cooperation with him. He stood on the blue car, with his back to A Long.

As everyone knows, back-body is particularly difficult to hit in CS: GO. In the pistol round, if you don't headshot, it is a very difficult thing to get a kill.

And he could stand under the blue car and use the vision from Xu Beifang's crotch to fire.

The theory is feasible, but Danking always feels a bit nonsense.

Danking followed Xu Beifang to the blue car, and the two quickly set up the formation.

The pistol round started, the offensive side did not communicate, and they came to A Long together.

Not finding anyone on the opposite side competing for the control of A Long, they pulled out with Glocks directly.

Instantly they saw someone at the A Long car position with their back to all living things!

"What ghost?"

While surprised, they didn't forget to shoot, pulling the Glock and clicking.

But the back-body of CS: GO is notoriously difficult to hit. Once, the big brother USP hitting the back-body was killed by kennyS, which is still a famous scene.

For professional players, it is still like this. For ordinary players, wanting to back-body headshot, the difficulty is even more exaggerated.

Danking originally thought it was just a nonsense play, but under Xu Beifang's crotch, the opponent's vision was clear, and the USP fired crazily.

【Tie 0 used USP headshot killed Xiao Shi Miao】

【Tie 0 used USP headshot killed Ghost House No. 1】

【Tie 0 used USP headshot killed Little Genius】

【Tie 0 used USP headshot killed Living for Sakurajima Mai】

【Tie 0 used...】

"It's really useful!!" Danking said very surprised.

In this wave, he hid under Xu Beifang's crotch to output. The group of people on the opposite side A Long didn't kill Xu Beifang. He USP clicked and positioned, killing everyone who appeared in the field of vision.

Machine also knew the movement here and said somewhat crying and laughing: "Beifang, where do you usually think of so many fancy things!"

The live stream was also shocked by this scene.

【What kind of top-tier tactic is this!】

【Learned, I'm going to play the ladder to score!】

【Don't go, you don't have that gunplay】

【Laughing to death, a Han Xin on the blue car】

【Terrorist: A Han Xin on the blue car on the opposite side, I'm not joking!】

Xu Beifang shook his head and said with a smile: "I am just a plain tactical little genius."

Just at this time, the opposite side of the public screen began to type.

Living for Sakurajima Mai:?

At first, no one cared about this symbol, after all, this is 5E, not an official match.

But the next second.

Living for Sakurajima Mai: You forced me!

T camp team timeout remaining 1:59

At first, the three of Xu Beifang only thought the opposite side was playing.

But immediately after the next round, the moment Xu Beifang jumped over the middle door, a bullet passed through the middle door and accurately hit him jumping in the air.

【Living for Sakurajima Mai used SSG 08 wallbang headshot killed Sakurajima Mai】

So what are you living for?

At this moment, everyone on Xu Beifang's team knew that the situation was a bit wrong.

In the next round, Machine clearly saw the other side lower his proud head.

Xu Beifang seemed to hear a strong music ringing in the void: "Back, back, back..."

This match had nothing to do with mortals anymore.

Xu Beifang and Danking also got excited, trying to challenge the nightmare without a household registration with mortal power, but finally failed. Facing the parameters fully pulled, no one could survive a round under his hands.

In the end, Machine chose to shake people, and 5E manually banned that cheat.

The three of them had some helplessness on their faces, can only say that the popularity of CS: GO has also brought quite a few guys without household registration.

For the audience in the live stream, this match was truly full of show effects.

In the subsequent matches, there were no accidents.

They drove all the way with laughter, and Xu Beifang also used quite a few of his wall-clinging techniques to pull the live stream effect to the full.

However, their live stream didn't end because everyone was tired.

But because Xu Beifang suddenly had inspiration after a match on Inferno.

Because in the process of the match, he discovered a two-way smoke thrown by the opposite side to extinguish the fire next to the Banana Road barrel.

This smoke can be mixed by the offensive side to the left of the barrel to play one-way, or to the right to see the information of the sandbag passing point.

Although it was a prop thrown by the defensive side by accident, Xu Beifang was thinking.

Is it possible to replicate this prop on the offensive end.

If it can be replicated, then Vitality's competition for Banana Road will become more powerful.

... ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
