Chapter 245: Hurry up and say thank you Niko!

VG's tactical timeout was called very appropriately, at least from Wanjiqi's perspective, losing several key rounds in a row, this timeout was very necessary.

But this timeout didn't stop their downward trend of losing in a row.

After the first half ended, the score was fixed at 11:4; after the timeout, they didn't even manage to get a single point.

On VG's player bench.

Everyone bumped fists to encourage each other.

259, as the team IGL, opened his mouth to comfort: "Still acceptable, play the pistol round well in the second half, we still have a chance to slowly turn it back."

This is indeed the case, Overpass has a special structure, the CT's retake speed is extremely fast, leading to a generally low win rate for the offensive side. There have been countless scenarios on this map where the offensive side was behind, and they turned the tide on the defensive side.

But...

Looking at Nice, who is ranked first on the scoreboard.

20/2/8, 134 average damage per round.

A-Zhong shook his hand, which was a bit sore from shifting gears, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Isn't your state quite poor recently? How come you suddenly became fierce today?

Are you acting like a noob to fool me?

They prepared quite a few things for this Overpass, and they played quite beautifully on the offensive side, but unfortunately, Xu Beifang and Zywoo's performance was outstanding, always able to break the situation with individual ability.

Now they can only hope that the subsequent matches can be as 259 said, entering the defensive side, everything will get better.

259 still has a certain amount of confidence; he wants to slowly turn the score back in the second half, which is not empty talk.

As an IGL, the brain of the team, he can clearly see—Vitality's proficiency and mastery of this map are not high.

This is also the reason why VG chose to practice this map deeply at the beginning. In the current version, other tier-one teams are not proficient in Overpass, so they can seize this point to strike hard.

Wei Wei was stunned: "How do you let VG play this? Their only mistake was that kaze's shot didn't press him to death, but low-health Nice used single shots to kill them all, this is too top-level."

However, next, switching to the offensive side, the requirements for map understanding and tactical mastery might be higher. 259 believes they still have a chance to turn the score back.

On Vitality's player bench.

"eon!"

The moment the first half ended, apex excitedly stretched out his fist and palm: "Hurry up and give me a powerful high-five."

Xu Beifang fiercely gave apex one, bestowing the hot hand (physically) upon apex.

"Hiss..."

Han Dou widened his eyes, looking at the red hand, instantly a bit stunned.

He was just short of making Tom Cat's scream.

jackz's eyes widened, hesitating for a long time before stretching his fist towards Xu Beifang.

shox, at the other end of the player bench, mercilessly let out a mocking sound.

The atmosphere in the match room was harmonious, and xtqzzz, who was pacing behind them, also had a smile on his face:

"Played well in the first half, guys, stabilize your performance, we will successfully take the first map."

He knew that as long as they successfully took the first map, this match would be almost stable.

Map two is Inferno, and Nice's state is so hot today, they should have this confidence.

The interaction in Vitality's player bench also caused a discussion in the live broadcast room.

【Little Xu's hand is really ruthless, Han Dou will apply for work-related injury tomorrow】

【A powerful blow, love from Nice】

【25 kills in the half, who called the booster?】

【The Golden Core barrier is broken, the next Nice is invincible!】

【Where are those little haters before? Seeing Brother Beizi lose two matches and jumping out to say he's not good, how come no one is seen?】

Just like there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, different players have different evaluations of professional players.

Xu Beifang is not RMB, he can't make everyone like him.

So when his performance was poor the past two days, the internet was instantly filled with a group of little haters jumping out.

For example:

【Nice is just a pure timing player, now that his luck is gone, he's just like that】

【Sure enough, this guy only knows how to grandstand, playing for show with danking every day, he himself became a show】

【I said it, how can Chinese people play CS: GO well? He showed his true colors as soon as he got offline】

He himself doesn't care much about these remarks; he was almost rolling in pain at the time, and didn't have time to care about these remarks.

But the fans who like him are quite unconvinced.

No matter from the performance or match data, Nice is already a standard tier-one player, and if he maintains his performance, he will be a strong contender for top 10 this year.

But it is this kind of performance that, in front of those brainless haters, became grandstanding, became showing his true colors.

As if the results obtained in the past half year were all fake.

Now Xu Beifang has found his state again, fiercely letting them vent their anger.

The second half pistol round started.

apex rubbed his hands and said: "Zywoo and Jack, buy utility together, this wave we play 1-3-1, Nice you go to T-spawn, shox you go outside B, scout for information first."

On this big map of Overpass, if you want to speed up, you can only rush B.

But apex doesn't want to go all-in with VG in the first wave, so he plans to wait and see for a while.

Let the teammates on both sides get information, and then they consider whether to go to A Small or speed up to B from the sewer position.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang took the P250 given by Shushu and went straight to the T-spawn.

Started by looking at the balloon area in the middle with a spring-head method.

Didn't see anyone at the balloon, Xu Beifang walked towards the park, planning to go to A Long to get some information.

But just as he walked out of the park cover, he saw two CTs at A Long.

"Two pushing out at A Long!! Brothers, rotate to B!!" Xu Beifang said quickly in the voice chat.

For the defensive side, the B site of this map is a more dangerous position.

A site usually has two people, and some teams even put one person in the pistol round.

Now that two people on the opposite side have pushed out from A Long, it can explain that A site is in a heavy defense posture.

"Vitality is still doing a sewer map run, but VG chose a 4A opening, but pushing forward too early, instead allowed Nice to get information on A site," Wanjiqi said.

"This wave can directly notify teammates to rotate to B!"

"The command is very fast, Vitality directly made a rotation, toilet fire plus second-floor smoke, paired with flashbangs."

"The first half pistol round is repeated again, this 5v5 frontal retake is now in Vitality's hands."

"Zywoo finished throwing utility, controlling the sewer iron door alone, the moment the door was pushed open, Zywoo did a mid-air kill, very accurate! It's a pity there is no armor, he can't maintain the duel posture afterward."

Vitality knew the construction site was out of control, directly grouping up to fight for B1, wanting to hold one side of the map control, not to be surrounded by the opponent.

But this wave 259 played really slippery, constantly swaying left and right at B1, forcibly dragging the teammates who retook the construction site to their positions.

A round of exchange of fire, only Xu Beifang was left underwater, facing this 1v3 clutch alone.

Xu Beifang was holding silently underwater, waiting for a while, hearing the footsteps of the opponent sticking to the near point, then pulled horizontally to the right and fired.

"Pa pa!"

【nice used P250 to get a headshot kill on auman】

"Nice sticks to the face and takes one first, but the position has been locked, 1v2 clutch, this side is planting the bomb wanting to trick Nice into coming out, but Brother Beizi is very smart, there is no desire to go out at all, he knows you are fake defusing."

Xu Beifang was fully focused, constantly swaying underwater. Footsteps sounded on the upper left, he immediately pulled the crosshair over, ready for pre-aiming.

A CT rushed into the field of vision, Xu Beifang fired the P250 in quick bursts.

Several bullets in a row, finally killed A-Zhong who was moving left and right at the far point.

But VG's synchronization was very in place, when A-Zhong rushed over, another CT had already jumped on his head!

Xu Beifang turned the muzzle, P250 fired continuously.

"kaze directly jumped to the face, stepped on the head and fired in bursts, Nice's P250 reacted very quickly, but there were no bullets in the magazine!! This wave was just 10 health short, if there was one more bullet, this clutch would have been won."

Wei Wei took over: "It's too much of a pity, VG's synchronization in this wave was done very well, coming one after another, not giving Nice a chance to operate at all. His reaction was already very fast, the moment there were no bullets, he threw the gun and wanted to pick up 259's gun to the right, but it was still too hasty."

"Awesome!!!"

Excited shouts came from the next-door match room, Xu Beifang looked at kaze who was defusing the bomb, and pursed his lips unwillingly.

This wave was just a little bit short, if he could successfully take this pistol round, then there would be basically no suspense in the second half.

But I have to say, VG's mastery of this map is much better than theirs.

At least the trade-kill coordination, it's really fast.

Xu Beifang thinks his handling of this wave was good enough, already trying his best to split this 1v3 into 1v1v1, but after killing one, the opponent didn't give him a chance for 1v1v1.

However, although the pistol round was lost, planting the bomb, plus the kill economy, they could also buy full armor and long guns to play.

But the offense in this round was not ideal, they chose to group up and slowly push towards B site, wanting to find opportunities to duel and get kills in the second instance.

But VG's several counter-clears all hit key nodes, relying on flashbangs to brush them off.

In the subsequent eco round, jackz forcibly got three kills during the push, but other members didn't find a good output angle, failing to turn the tide.

11:7

Vitality finally saved enough economy to have a long gun round to play.

"We play a wave of fast map control in the sewer and construction site, after taking the construction site, we directly start exploding bombs," apex thought for a while, feeling that the opponent might move to B site at the start, looked at the teammates' positions, and said: "Nice, you go give a flash in the middle later, throw a fire at the balloon, give some pressure, and then bring the bomb over."

With apex's judgment, their fast push, Xu Beifang can just give a wave of utility feint, which can drag the opponent's frontal force for a while.

"Understood," Xu Beifang nodded.

After the countdown ended, they acted according to the tactical layout at the start.

Xu Beifang went straight to the T-spawn, looked at the T-spawn fire given by the opponent, and directly threw a smoke to extinguish the fire.

Since it is to harass A site, then letting the opponent think there are many people at the T-spawn is the same logic.

After extinguishing the fire, he threw a flashbang towards the middle, and directly turned back to walk.

But just at this time, intense gunfire came from the construction site and sewer, and kill information kept floating in the upper right corner.

VG's sniper kaze caught a timing in the sewer, the moment he pulled horizontally, apex and Jack happened to be standing on the same line, directly skewered like candied haws.

Zywoo and shox were fighting for control of the construction site, the B site duo was double-peeking.

Zywoo's pre-aiming was very smooth, directly headshotting them while holding the angle.

But the second defensive player in the sewer, freeman, opened the door and happened to catch Zywoo, a burst of spray killed both Zywoo and shox.

"If it doesn't work, save it," apex said helplessly.

This round was really a bit depressing, when they sped up towards the construction site, they gave a sewer smoke.

But kaze pulled horizontally a second before the smoke exploded, and even pierced two with one shot, which left them with no choice.

Now 1 minute 30 seconds, leaving Xu Beifang with a 1v4 clutch.

Saving the gun is the most rational decision.

"I'll try to kill a few more of their guns," Xu Beifang pursed his lips, and his whole body leaned forward.

Although they are still in the advantage, the score gap has been constantly narrowing after losing the pistol round in the second half.

If this round is lost again, then it will be really difficult to chase points later.

Now the only good news is that there is 1 minute 30 seconds left, enough for him to slowly operate this clutch.

Xu Beifang pushed forward from the sewer bit by bit, but cleared the sewer all the way, without seeing any traces of CTs.

Difficult...

The difficulty of a 1v4 is already very high, but if the opponents play recklessly, he can still rely on his individual ability to salvage the situation.

But the opponent's overall formation pulled back, not giving him a chance to split the clutch.

"You can say Tyloo likes to dry-peek, but VG's playstyle is still learning from European teams. At least after getting the advantage, they didn't rush to collect guns and get the final kill."

"kaze and freeman are grouping up at the A Small toilet, auman is jumping to watch A Long at the bomb site, 259 is watching B at B1, this positioning highlights the word stable," Wanjiqi watched Xu Beifang still wanting to operate, but bringing in Xu Beifang's perspective, this clutch was really under great pressure.

Wei Wei took over: "The most rational picture now is to turn back to B site and just plant a bomb."

The design of this positioning basically doesn't give any chances, only expecting VG to play poorly.

But looking at VG's positioning, where does it look like they will play poorly?

(kaze two-person positioning)

Xu Beifang searched for points towards A site bit by bit, trying not to make any sound.

Only in some special points, he would peek out in a swaying or big-pull way.

But pushing all the way to the toilet, he didn't find any CTs.

Could only walk slowly into the toilet.

Pushing in bit by bit, just as he was searching for points in the middle of the toilet, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out.

"—Bang!"

hp-82

No time to think, because Xu Beifang had already seen the enemy exposing his side at the near point on the left!

Crosshair directly pulled to the opponent's head—

"Da da da..."

【nice used AK47 to get a headshot kill on freeman】

freeman was stolen from the side, immediately shouted in surprise in the voice chat: "Toilet entered!!!" kaze explained: "Hit the leg, didn't die."

Their positioning is mainly stable, he used a sniper rifle to hold the point at a far point, while freeman was holding the A Small crossing point directly.

This way, even if the teammate at the front point was killed, he could complete the trade with the sniper rifle.

It's just that he didn't expect Nice would suddenly adopt a big-pull crouch-peek method to search for points.

His reaction in this wave was already very fast, but he only hit Nice's leg.

"Don't panic," 259 at B site looked at the time, there were still 40 seconds left, the opponent had a chance to rotate.

"The opponent is low on health, we just don't give chances."

Although he said so, kaze didn't move backward, but the sniper rifle opened the scope to hold the point again.

Because he clearly heard that the one who didn't want to live was already chasing him!

Xu Beifang decided to play this clutch, so there was no reason to go back to save the gun.

1v4 clutch, already traded one, already not losing.

Next, either continue to kill, or be killed by the opponent!

Only low health left, Xu Beifang chased up very bravely, he didn't believe VG would stand 3 people in the toilet in this situation.

Boys can't possibly reach toilet diplomacy!

His movements were fast, and he didn't hear kaze's footsteps running away, so he basically locked onto kaze's position.

Controlled his position to peek to the right, swayed twice, and then cooperated with a big-pull crouch-peek.

kaze watched the opponent constantly swaying out, an arm appeared in the field of vision, but he didn't dare to fire.

But immediately after—

"Bang!"

"kaze sniper rifle retreated to the second point, can he get the toll? But Nice obviously has locked his position, always swaying, kaze is also very confident, knowing the opponent is low on health and still using the sniper rifle to hold, only one chance, can he do it?"

"He really did it!!" Wanjiqi's tone became passionate instantly, "Big pull out directly onetap, you have a sniper rifle in your hand, I also have one in mine!!"

Entering the clutch screen, the director also clearly knew what everyone wanted to see, switching back and forth between Xu Beifang and kaze, clearly letting everyone see the picture of kaze's sniper rifle being torn apart by hand.

Xu Beifang was like a bulldozer, directly flattening A Small, even though he only had 19 health, he still made everyone look forward to it.

【No way!!】

【Can this kind of clutch be turned around??】

【VG can't even beat this!】

The audience in the live broadcast room sent bullet screens to discuss, two wonderful kills made everyone discuss the final result, there was still quite a bit of time left, they felt there was room for operation.

"Consecutive kills, are you going to rush into A bomb site to plant the bomb?"

"Not yet," Wanjiqi said, "This decision is very rational, he probably thinks that dueling has already spent a lot of time, now planning to rotate to B, this just happened to avoid the old lurker hiding at A bomb site."

"B site, 259 has already rotated to A site, it seems their idea is very simple, next no matter where Nice wants to attack, just group up and fight together."

Xu Beifang fought with the air, and finally planted the bomb at B site.

The moment the bomb was planted, he looked at his health, this clutch was still not optimistic.

kaze's sniper rifle although missed, but that shot hit him to low health, now it belongs to the state of shattering at a touch.

After considering, he arrived at the right side of the pillar, the crosshair was placed on B2, but his attention was on B1.

(Similar effect)

After hearing the bomb planted at B site, 259 and auman grouped up and retook from B1.

If kaze didn't fake the bomb point, then their clutch as long as they touched Nice once, they would successfully win.

But perhaps because of the ID, before they could take down the final clutch, the pressure in their hearts was very high.

Xu Beifang kept wandering around the B site pillar, the clutch plus the numerical disadvantage made this situation very passive.

Teammates died early, making him trigger isolation early in this clutch.

Isolation means no worries, allowing him to operate at will.

But once the bomb is planted, the clutch with numerical disadvantage still has too many places to pay attention to.

Returned to the long pipe to take a look, confirmed no one outside B, next to pay attention to is B1 and B2 and the construction site.

Xu Beifang held the long pipe slope and looked at B2, held for a few seconds without finding any traces of anyone.

C4 ticked at the bomb site, the progress bar representing C4 explosion on the top was slowly advancing.

"Should be B1 and construction site," shox reminded in the voice chat.

Xu Beifang also arrived at the left side of the long pipe slope, the first glance saw the CT walking over from B1.

Crosshair instantly pulled to his head, pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

【nice used AK47 to get a headshot kill on auman】

"Two people at B1 grouped up to push over, they are still searching underwater, but low-health Nice didn't hide, but chose to take the initiative, auman was found by him! The kills actually returned to a 1v1!!" Wanjiqi's tone was excited.

Watching the opponent's numbers constantly decrease, the members on Vitality's player bench expressed their feelings with actions.

At this moment, Zywoo's hands were already raised, already in a preparatory posture.

apex was biting the dead skin on his fingers, looking exactly like an electronic girl.

shox leaned on the gaming chair, his brows locked, obviously already substituted into the clutch.

And jackz was almost stuck to the screen, as if wanting to see every detail of the clutch.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also very excited. The most wonderful picture in CS: GO, besides frontal breakthrough tearing apart the opponent's defense line, is the clutch game that is most heart-wrenching.

Originally thought it was a 1v4 with 1 minute 30 seconds left, next they would see a boring gun-saving time.

But Nice forcibly used his gunplay to frontally play this clutch into 1v1.

And, it seems there is a chance to turn the tide?

Xu Beifang killed the CT at B1, instantly pulled the crosshair to the construction site.

But didn't find anyone trading.

The clutch game made his heart beat faster, without touching his chest, he could hear the sound of his heartbeat.

Blood was surging, the last person still didn't appear, which also made him worry that his efforts would be wasted.

Held the construction site for two seconds, he also realized that if the opponent came from the construction site, they would have traded long ago, not waiting until now.

The long pipe also didn't have anyone trading, so the opponent must be from the front.

Either from B2, or from B1.

These two final route choices, it seems they can only be from—underwater!!

Xu Beifang turned his head instantly, holding the crosshair on the scalp position underwater.

The next second, a CT slowly poked his head out.

"Bang!"

【nice used AK47 to get a headshot kill on advant】

"Little Xu got the kill, immediately looked at the construction site, he didn't know 259 had already touched underwater, this information will be very fatal... but what!!" Wanjiqi stood up directly at the commentary desk, "At the last moment, he was like having killing intent perception, turned his head and directly held underwater."

"A single shot killed 259 instantly!! He didn't even have a chance to get vision!!!"

Wanjiqi shouted passionately at the commentary desk: "Nice's top-level frontal 1v4 helped Vitality complete the turnaround, this is too outrageous brothers, this might be the most wonderful picture from the group stage until now."

"Pure individual ability crushing, okay, this is completely the picture of a rifleman's dream, 1v4 frontal clearing, crushing the opponent one by one, unreasonable gunplay."

Wei Wei was stunned watching from the side: "How are you supposed to let VG play like this? Their only mistake was that Kaze's shot to the leg didn't pin him down directly. As a result, the low-HP Nice finished everyone off with single taps. This is just too top-tier."

When 259 poked his head out from underwater, Xu Beifang pulled the trigger.

He could clearly see the bullet hitting 259's helmet, even sparking.

At this moment, adrenaline soared, the pleasure of 1 vs 4 surged in his heart.

Xu Beifang directly raised his arms and shouted, excitedly venting the negative emotions in his heart in the room.

Then he found that he was still relatively subtle.

Because apex had already excitedly stood up, unceremoniously making Han Dou-style screams towards the opposite side: "Haha!!!"

"What are you doing?? 4 vs 1 can't win?? Are you really not here to be funny?"

Not just Han Dou, Jack beside him saw the moment the clutch was taken, wanting to raise his arms to cheer for Xu Beifang.

But because the distance to the display screen was too close, the moment he raised his hand, he directly flipped the display screen.

shox on the side looked at Xu Beifang like looking at a god.

Brother, you didn't really cheat, did you!

They played quite a few scrims, and he also knew Nice was a very good player.

Once in a match, they were also stunned by Nice.

But because Xu Beifang's state was poor the past two days, it led to his misjudgment of his teammate's strength.

Now the whole person is stunned.

So my teammates are all these kinds of monsters?

The big bald coach standing behind held his head with both hands, although he knew his player's strength was strong, he was still amazed every time.

Looking at the members who were still cheering, he hurriedly said:

"Call a tactical timeout, adjust, adjust!"

After this 1v4 ended, the live broadcast room was filled with question marks, and it took a few seconds for everyone to finally have time to express their thoughts.

【Is this not a cheat?? Is this not a cheat?】

【Hard lock! This opener】

【Teammate falls, stimulates Beifang's potential】

【Hard lock, can't play at all】

【Breakthrough maniac from Huaxia, these few waves of frontal duels are too terrifying】

【If this Nice is a human, you directly scold me】

"It's really outrageous," Wanjiqi looked at the wonderful kill replay, "You review this clutch now, actually Nice has no ideas, just looking for people to fight."

"But the problem is VG really can't beat him, a few waves of frontal duels, there was basically no chance to fire."

"The choice of low health later is also very beautiful, just pure single shots to fight you, three headshots directly ended the match."

【Brothers, hurry up and say thank you Niko】

【Thank you Niko】

【Thank you Niko】

Xu Beifang is now in the domestic GO circle, if it is a fan who likes to watch matches, basically everyone knows.

In the off-season, the clip of Xu Beifang learning single-shot techniques from Niko, everyone also learned through some Bilibili clip brothers.

At this moment, seeing Xu Beifang win the clutch with a wave of single-shot triple kills, a group of people instantly played memes.

'Terrorist'

'MVP: Nice eliminated the most enemies'

'When the teammate fell, Nice fought alone, killed 4 enemies and won.'

VG people looked at the MVP settlement screen of this round in a daze.

That string of text explained the entire match process of this round.

It also explained the fact of their defeat.

What did they do wrong in this round?

Starting with the sewer coordination and pushing forward, plus the small coordination at B site, they got a numerical advantage.

After the numerical advantage, if you say they actively went out to find people, that is their own fault, they deserve to lose.

But they didn't play poorly, everyone played very stably, very respectfully to the ID Nice.

But what was the result?

Nice just pushed them one by one and ate them all.

kaze although missed this round, he thought he played very well, in the situation where the opponent suddenly pulled horizontally, being able to hit was already not bad.

But who could have thought that Nice would kill them all bit by bit later.

This is too hard to accept.

After the timeout ended, VG still didn't adjust their mood.

Originally, they were singing all the way after entering the second half, but after being turned around by Nice's 1v4 clutch, they found that they seemed to have lost their hand feel.

A group of people's brains were already a bit stunned, and they were a bit empty in frontal duels.

Plus the economic problems caused by losing points in a row.

In the subsequent rounds, they only got one point relying on kaze's sniper rifle triple kill, and the rest of the rounds were lost.

Finally, on this map of their own choice, the score was fixed at 16:8.

Feel like the body is scattered, there are big pimples on the feet, and it cost 200 to see a doctor this afternoon... ===== CHAPTER 246 =====
