Chapter 265

270. Chapter 265: Plans Changed, Prepare to Win the Championship!

Bidding farewell to the two mouz players, Xu Beifang said to the viewers in the stream: "Alright, I'm going to start eating lunch; see you at the match tonight."

【Don't, how long has the stream been on?】

【Exactly, we were just getting into it.】

【Can you let Coldzera stream? I want to see his Banana playstyle.】

The viewers in Xu Beifang's stream were very reluctant. Some of them had long treated Xu Beifang as an electronic pet to raise, and now that they saw Coldzera coming to ask Xu Beifang for advice, their vanity had just been satisfied, and it was about to end.

They couldn't wait to shout "sleepless night" in the stream.

But Xu Beifang still ruthlessly turned off the stream. After eating, Vitality would have to start working seriously.

Even though he had played a top-tier bladder-testing match in the morning, he was still very happy. Getting recognition from other top-tier players in his field of expertise made him feel very good.

And what he said to the two mouz players wasn't just modesty.

While explaining his understanding of Banana to Coldzera, he was also sorting out his own thinking.

Coupled with some discussions with the two professional players during the process, his future playstyle became even clearer.

To a certain extent, Xu Beifang was actually strengthened during this wave of teaching.

Moreover, the system's notification sound also rang in his ears.

【Ding!】

【Suggestion mission: give frozen some advice on Banana playstyles, difficulty 5 stars, can obtain a B-rank treasure chest after completion...】

【Mission completed, B-rank treasure chest is being issued...】

【Do you want to open the B-rank treasure chest?】

"Yes."

Xu Beifang thought silently.

【Treasure chest is opening...】

【Congratulations to the host for Listen-to-Advice Value 2077...】

【Congratulations to the host for Rifleman Advanced Technique - Magisk's Magic Spray Insight.】

Magisk spray =?

Magic bullets!

Regarding the professional player Magisk, his impression was still very deep; after all, this guy might be hailed as the "front-facing boy."

As long as you give him a front, he can return a world to you.

When Xu Beifang first debuted, he was even called "Little Magisk" for a few months, just because his front-facing aim ability was quite good, but his clutch ability was a pile of trash.

Among all top-tier riflemen, everyone has some differences in their mastery of spray transfer.

In the last few months, because of the rise of the AUG and SG553, NAF is even a strong contender for the world's number one rifleman. He is also a traditional rifleman, a representative figure of spraying the moment he sees someone. His spray transfer focuses on being plain and simple; spraying a magazine the moment he sees someone has become an instinctive habit.

NiKo's spray is similar to Xu Beifang's; they are both very clearly technical playstyles, used according to the occasion, with no shortcomings. Compared to several other top-tier riflemen, there is nothing particularly outstanding.

As for electronic, most people have a misconception about him, thinking electronic's spray transfer is very strong.

But in reality, electronic's spray transfer is several quick short sprays connected together; he is the kind of player who rarely sprays a whole magazine to the end.

Even the highlight of stepping on fire with a 553 in the Pit was several consecutive re-positioning sprays.

This guy's overall playstyle is very rough, relying more on his terrifying aiming ability to win.

As for this guy Magisk, he is a player who uses spray transfer more often, and he is very good at a special technique—

Moving spray transfer!

Because of CS: GO's special game mechanics, moving fire trajectory is inaccurate, but in many of Magisk's highlights, you can see the shadow of run-and-gun, which once made CS: GO players shout the metaphysical concept of "magic bullets."

So at this moment, knowing it was Magisk's spray insight, Xu Beifang rubbed his hands, also very expectant.

His consciousness quickly invested, the screen shattered, and he was brought into Magisk's perspective.

This was a match against G2, but—

How did you, Magisk, run to Vitality?

He was quite surprised. Although in his previous life, Astralis fell apart due to personal relationships, he didn't expect that in the end, the Danes would run to France.

With Zywoo's English level, is there still a possibility that Vitality will turn into an international column?

He temporarily put those aside, his mind invested in this match.

This was a Dust II confrontation. G2, as the attacking side, played until 40 seconds, and G2, as the attacking side, began to launch an attack.

A CT-spawn smoke was given, and the main force charged directly toward the Sand Pit, preparing for a middle-to-B pinch.

Then Magisk stood at the B-door box, holding an AK-47 to frame the crossing point, instantly killing JACKZ and NiKo, and then pre-firing, moving and spraying to instant-kill the distant Lucky as well.

Magisk's third kill was spraying and killing Lucky, who was next to the white car in the Sand Pit, beside the B-door; this distance was still spraying while moving.

"That's really a foul..." Xu Beifang felt a bit tongue-tied.

At such a long distance, without stopping steadily, he killed someone; it's really a bit outrageous.

However, he also understood from Magisk's personal thinking that Magisk wasn't playing randomly; he came prepared.

At first, he framed the crossing point, collecting two enemies in a row, and then when he didn't get information, he was worried that someone would pre-fire, so he directly started moving his position in advance and run-and-gunning.

And this kind of moving spray also has techniques to speak of.

Although CS: GO's moving spray is inaccurate, if you counter-strafe again during the spray process, you can shrink the spread of the entire bullet a bit.

Magisk uses this mechanism, constantly counter-strafing and controlling the gun during the movement process, shrinking the bullets into a range to spray.

Xu Beifang just felt the limitations were a bit too high, and the next second Magisk returned to Astralis, arriving at a match against NiP.

This was an Overpass confrontation. Magisk was defending the A site, and when NiP's attack came, Astralis carried out a wave of counter-clearing.

Magisk first peeked to get vision of A-Long, but at this time, half of his body was exposed to the enemy in the A-Short toilets.

Magisk directly pulled his crosshair back and avoided the crossfire of A-Long through movement.

The most outrageous thing is that while pulling back, he hadn't stopped the fire in his hand, crazily outputting toward A-Short.

Next, after being burned out by NiP's incendiary grenade, Magisk ran all the way, spraying all the way.

But the bullets could accurately hit the Terrorist's body, and a wave of spray directly got a triple kill.

The commentators were all exclaiming "magic bullets."

But Xu Beifang also realized the importance of this technique.

When the images disappeared one by one, his consciousness also returned to reality.

Rubbing his hands in anticipation, Xu Beifang opened the Aim Botz map and started practicing actively.

Honestly, for players of their level, this kind of technique is not difficult to practice.

Because the basic skills are already very good; many times, it's just a layer of window paper that hasn't been broken.

Next is the process of practice.

"Dinner's ready, dinner's ready!" Zywoo walked over from downstairs with takeout, his voice full of joy. For a foodie, eating is a kind of enjoyment.

"Eating fish at noon today, I love eating fish." Zywoo unpacked the takeout and glanced at Xu Beifang. "Practice later, let's eat."

Xu Beifang said without turning his head: "No rush, I'll try the new thing I learned."

"New thing you learned?"

"Yeah, stole it from Magisk." Xu Beifang smiled wickedly.

Zywoo didn't doubt him; he knew Xu Beifang loved watching match footage of other top-tier players.

He leaned over to take a look.

In the morning, xtqzzz gave them a holiday to rest. shox took Apex and others to play football on a nearby field, saying he planned to relieve pressure in this way.

Zywoo said he wanted to maintain energy, but actually, he was just too lazy to move.

On Xu Beifang's side, it was mainly because he didn't know how to play.

He didn't even understand whether football was kicked with the instep or the toe.

If it were going out to play basketball, then he could play a bit.

So in the end, he and Zywoo stayed home, and the other few guys ran to play football to release excess energy.

Xu Beifang was worried they would lack energy at night, but the Frenchmen said that after not playing football for so many days, their whole bodies were uncomfortable, and letting them play once might make their state even better.

Xu Beifang didn't care about Zywoo and directly operated in the aim-practice map.

Holding an M4, he first came to control it against the wall.

Fire, move, and then use small positioning to constantly move and counter-strafe.

He found that Magisk's understanding was indeed correct; this operation method can control the bullets within a rough range.

"It's this kind of run-and-gun spray while moving."

Zywoo was also a bit surprised at first, but soon thought of the specific effect.

"When facing multiple people rushing, I feel the effect is quite big; you can constantly pull back relying on cover, just like playing Negev."

Xu Beifang nodded: "Yes, even in some special aim-duel environments, you can also quickly move your position to trick the opponent's pre-aim."

He slowly started to become proficient; this thing is not difficult for them, it's more of a blind spot in consciousness.

So after practicing for a while, he could already master it well.

It's just whether it can be applied to the match later, that's a question.

Zywoo watched for a while and refocused his attention on the takeout; this technique is quite good, but it doesn't suit him.

His playstyle belongs to that kind of calm aiming, accurately getting kills in the shortest possible time.

Even for a technique like spray transfer, he rarely uses it, let alone this kind of niche technique.

Compared to practicing this kind of run-and-gun transfer technique, it's better to let him play two more FPL matches and use other professional players to practice positioning.

Xu Beifang practiced for a while and gradually understood everything.

Then he looked at his Listen-to-Advice Value, which had broken ten thousand again.

Immediately, his mind moved.

【Do you want to invest 10,000 Listen-to-Advice Value to improve the Spray Transfer attribute?】

"Yes."

The next second, Xu Beifang saw his system panel change.

【Host: Xu Beifang】

【Age: 22】

【Team: Vitality】

【Role: Entry Fragger/Secondary Sniper】

【State: Hot (All attributes increased by 30%, but mindset is more prone to fluctuation)】

【Mindset: 91】

【Aim: 90-97 (Collapse/Expand)】

1. Pre-aim: 90-92

2. Recoil Control: 91-93

3. Positioning: 93-97

3. Spray Transfer: 90-91

4. Multi-kill Ability: 90-90

Under his unremitting efforts, the lowest item in his aim had also broken through the 90-point mark.

At this moment, he suddenly had some mysterious insights; he inexplicably felt that his control over the mouse was stronger.

But when actually operating on the computer, he couldn't feel much difference.

However, breaking through the 90-point mark in aim made him even more confident about tonight's match.

"Getting stronger a little bit every day! Simply too cool!" Xu Beifang came to the dining table, ate a piece of pickled fish, and said happily.

Daily hard practice, to be honest, is definitely boring.

His life during the tournament schedule basically only consists of training and matches; this ascetic life is not beautiful.

Fortunately, Xu Beifang can understand his state from the system's attribute panel and clearly see himself slowly getting stronger.

This small positive feedback allowed him to persist all the way.

He is like a hamster, watching himself get stronger bit by bit, and his heart slowly becomes steady.

With the pickled fish ordered for takeout, Xu Beifang filled his stomach while opening his phone to look at various information on recent forums. Just after opening his phone, WeChat and QQ were filled with all kinds of information.

His mind was still thinking about the research on that Xbox smoke, so he planned to reply to them quickly.

But when he started to act, he realized things weren't simple.

Although it wasn't an IEM or BLAST series tournament, the historical background of the StarSeries was quite sufficient; even Liquid and Astralis, who didn't come to participate, had participated in previous tournaments.

Coupled with the fact that among the tournaments currently underway, this was the only S-tier tournament.

For a time, the attention in the country was maxed out.

Even the referee guy he met at IEM Shanghai sent him congratulations.

This is actually easy to understand; Xu Beifang is the strongest player in CNCSGO today.

Fighting on home turf and successfully entering the finals, everyone naturally expects Xu Beifang to stand until the end.

However, there was also plenty of information from foreign friends. Besides the cheers sent by old VP teammates, even many members of FaZe sent him congratulations.

NiKo specifically said he was going to the scene tonight to cheer him on.

This is actually easy to understand; as a top-tier social butterfly in the circle, Xu Beifang's daily personality is easygoing, his level is also quite good, and he has good relationships with many professional teams.

As for NaVi, s1mple is a famous pressure-monster.

In the early stages of his career, he offended a whole bunch of people in the circle; even now that his temper has converged a bit, once he plays unhappily in the ladder, he often opens his mouth to spray directly.

Under these circumstances, everyone naturally hopes Xu Beifang can win this match.

Xu Beifang replied to the messages of most friends outside the circle in a group.

Then he replied to several FaZe players one by one to express his gratitude.

Only then did Xu Beifang open the CS: GO forum to use it for dinner.

【How to evaluate the confrontation in the StarSeries semi-finals?】

【Pure final level; Group B was truly exciting, Group A was also a good lullaby.】

【Brother Bei's performance is truly awesome; he played Renegades until they had no temper.】

【The mustache guy withered at the end.】

【Can only say Vitality has too many cheaters!】

【Who could have imagined that Vitality, who started 2-2 in the group stage, would kill their way into the finals?】

Xu Beifang himself didn't expect this result.

At the beginning of this tournament series, they didn't have the qualifications to participate and were urgently pulled over to make up the numbers.

A bunch of them didn't have any big goals; they just played as they went, using the tournament as training to grind and cooperate.

Entering this tournament wasn't smooth either; at first, JACKZ had jet lag, and Xu Beifang was also sick.

They once reached the dangerous edge of being eliminated; if they lost one more match, they would really be out in the first round.

But as the team's state improved, this new lineup slowly began to exert force.

According to the netizens, it was a bottom-out rebound; they wouldn't play unless they were at low health.

Finally, in this comment section, there were quite a few replies.

【It was mainly shox and JACKZ who withstood some pressure and liberated Beifang; even Zywoo didn't need to perform that much. Look at this StarSeries, the Gemini clutch only had a mere few.】

【Indeed, Vitality is truly fierce in this StarSeries.】

【I still remember what Tie Dan said, Xiao Xu is going to start the Northern Expedition; now it won't really let him succeed, right?】

【Northern Expedition? Tonight I, Emperor Sen, will lift your Seven-Star Lamp!】

Before, Xu Beifang saying "Northern Expedition" was just a teasing meme, but the netizens' creative ability was richer than he imagined.

Every time Vitality won, the netizens could always find a corresponding war, living out a cyber Northern Expedition.

If Vitality wins tonight's match, then this cyber Northern Expedition journey can be considered a success.

But many fans are also worried; after all, in history, not many people who went on the Northern Expedition had good results.

They are truly worried that tonight will usher in a difficult long pain.

Just as he was lost in thought, Apex and others opened the door and walked in. They had pleasant smiles on their faces, obviously very satisfied with their activities on the football field in the morning.

They are increasingly fond of China. In Paris, if you want to play football and find a field, you have to make an appointment in advance.

But here in Shanghai, it was very easy to find a good field, and most importantly, there weren't many people in it.

"What are you looking at?" JACKZ drank some water and looked at Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang said: "Looking at the netizens' discussion about the match."

Hearing this, JACKZ spoke up: "Did you watch s1mple's post-match interview yesterday?"

"What about the post-match interview?"

"Just take a look." JACKZ had a weird smile on his face.

After their match ended last night, they had a late-night snack outside, explained the subsequent itinerary, and Xu Beifang rested.

Regarding that NaVi match, he also quickly scanned it this morning and didn't pay special attention to the post-match interview.

However, with JACKZ like this, he also searched directly on Bilibili, and soon saw a title:

"s1mple post-match interview: Vitality is very strong, but we will go all out to win this championship."

★￠o

Nothing wrong with that; it was very pertinent.

If he accepted a post-match interview, he would also give a similar answer.

It started as usual with mutual feelings after the match, and s1mple also expressed that he was quite happy to win this match.

But later in the interview, the questions asked by the host were quite tricky:

"After defeating BIG, you will face Vitality tomorrow; do you think you will win?"

s1mple smiled confidently: "I think NaVi can; I want to take Zeus and Edward to fight one more time; I think NaVi deserves this championship."

The host continued to ask: "In this StarSeries, you, electronic, nice, and Zywoo have all been selected for the best weekly lineup; what do you think of the NaVi Gemini compared to the Vitality Gemini?"

s1mple's face was still full of flamboyant confidence. "Electronic is my best partner; I think we are the most outstanding combination in the world. And from my perspective, I 100% feel that Zywoo is not stronger than me, and electronic will not be weaker than nice."

"They are an extremely outstanding combination; the rifleman's playstyle is aggressive, and the sniper comes to finish; the achievements they can achieve in the future are certainly limitless, but now I think NaVi's model is better."

Everyone could see the host was stirring up trouble. Usually, players might answer more conservatively at this time and say some nice things.

But s1mple is different; his speech is very arrogant.

He also doesn't care if he might be liquidated after the match, because the final winner he can think of is himself!

"Then do you think NaVi will become the best team in the world?"

s1mple pondered for a while: "Jame once asked me the same question; my answer at the time was that this lineup might not be the best, but I can make it have a place in the world."

"Crazy Little Sen!" Xu Beifang listened to the post-match interview on his phone; this was very consistent with his view of s1mple.

From this post-match interview, he felt s1mple's sufficient confidence in himself.

He believes his ability is the strongest in the world, none other!

Last year he said Zywoo was a star of tomorrow, and also believed in the interview that Zywoo was the player closest to him.

But it was only the closest; extremely exaggerated hard work plus talent made this man have sufficient confidence in himself.

He didn't deny Vitality's strength, but still believed that he could defeat Vitality while carrying two older veterans.

Xu Beifang didn't know if s1mple was confident or arrogant.

The teammates all returned one by one. He sped up and shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, directly entered the map-running server, and started running the map in Dust II.

"We'll run it intensively later; you don't have to be so anxious." Head coach xtqzzz reminded.

Xu Beifang shook his head: "I just thought of a piece of utility in the match just now. You say if there is an Xbox smoke that can achieve the effect of a fast VIP smoke, will our winning percentage on this Dust II map become very high?"

Spawn-point Xbox smoke?

"That effect would be huge; whether it's the second-timing middle-to-B pinch or the start-of-round direct A-Short speed-up, it would be very easy to play." Apex spoke up.

The big bald coach also nodded. Spawn-point Xbox smoke, if they can research it, it can completely be taken out as a big move.

Xu Beifang also nodded and started throwing Xbox smokes at various spawn points.

He actually wanted to research this smoke grenade; although there was difficulty, it wasn't as big as imagined.

Because in his memory, there was an answer template; even if he didn't have this process, knowing the result and reverse-engineering it was relatively easy.

And unlike Mirage's fast VIP smoke, there aren't many positions to throw a spawn-point Xbox smoke on Dust II; Xu Beifang didn't need to try too many positions.

He quickly found a relatively good position to start aiming.

Then he constantly looked for aiming points to jump-throw. During the whole process, he turned on recording and turned on the crosshair coordinate values to record the specific values.

Everyone watched for a while and also started to rest on the sofa in the training room.

Only head coach xtqzzz was constantly communicating and researching this utility with Xu Beifang.

And then in another shot.

The smoke grenade in Xu Beifang's hand flew out, then flew toward the middle at an extremely fast speed, finally landing on the wooden fence jumping onto the Xbox, and instantly exploded.

Xu Beifang turned his head to look at the coach.

xtqzzz also looked at him with an expression of surprise: "Beifang, you really researched it!!!"

The big bald coach's surprised voice woke up the few people dozing on the sofa.

They walked over one by one to check the situation.

Xu Beifang wasn't anxious, but found the crosshair coordinate values in the cl_showpos 1 command in the recording.

Then enter the game body again, match the same coordinate values, crouch, and directly jump-throw.

The Xbox smoke in his hand flew out.

Xu Beifang also pressed the fly key to show everyone the effect.

Then he just flew up and saw the Xbox falling, directly exploding at the wooden fence.

"4 seconds!!" Zywoo said very surprisingly. "With the speed of this smoke, the CT sniper doesn't even have the qualifications to get vision."

Xu Beifang continued to fly around the smoke grenade, pulling to observe the specific vision of this smoke.

This smoke can block most of the vision of the Sand Pit; anyway, the sniper definitely won't get vision at the first timing, and the speed is extremely fast; basically, the CT's information in the early stage is gone.

shox looked at Xu Beifang as if looking at a monster: "This smoke is too exaggerated; you even have to match specific values to throw it. Not playing professionally really delayed you from being a graduate student."

This is definitely a good smoke, even a smoke grenade that can be used as a big move.

Xu Beifang's teammates also opened their computers and started practicing in the map-running server.

But the specific values are a very long segment and not easy to remember.

xtqzzz thought of a good way at this time; he directly wrote the tactics on paper and brought them into the match later.

Then he thought about it, since he was bringing them in, he might as well photocopy the tactics they had practiced, give everyone an A4 sheet, so as to avoid tactical confusion when playing later.

Everyone in the room was in high spirits because of the new things Xu Beifang brought out, and everyone entered the practice state in full swing.

Hard work time always passes very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was 5 PM.

The Vitality crowd also brought a pile of tactical papers and started driving toward the Baoshan Gymnasium.

Before stepping into the gymnasium, Xu Beifang remembered pasha's words this morning.

So he asked the accompanying coaching assistant to take a group photo for their whole team.

Xu Beifang opened Bilibili.

pasha was indeed right; sometimes his personality was still too conservative, and he didn't have enough confidence in himself.

Perhaps under these circumstances, a desperate fight could stimulate his potential.

Xu Beifang edited the text again:

"Plans changed, prepare to win the championship!"

Then he uploaded the group photo just now and strode toward his final!

Well, that kind of spray transfer from Magisk, the author also did it during the CS: GO era...
