Chapter 28
"Abandon!! Abandon!!"
"Abandon!! Abandon!!"
Xiao Ming's foreplay was already done, and he was preparing to go deeper, but that damn recitation sound poured into his ears like magic, waking him from his heaviness.
"Which bastard is reciting so early in the morning!"
Ma Dong, who was mixing protein powder, replied without looking back: "Your godfather is reciting in the hallway."
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Shouting 'abandon' so early in the morning, with the CET-4 and CET-6 exams coming up, is my godfather planning to cram at the last minute? But why is he still stuck on the first page?"
After finishing the cloyingly sweet protein powder, Ma Dong also teased: "Don't mock others. I've been preparing for CET-4 for a year, and now I'm still just from 'abandon' to 'abandon'."
"CET-4, from abandon to abandon" isn't just talk.
"Could it be that he was hit hard because he couldn't play professionally?" Xiao Ming suddenly thought, but soon Xu Beifang started reciting the second word, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"But speaking of which, why does Beifang's English sound so erotic?"
Hearing this, Ma Dong ran out with his gym bag: "You gay, stay away from me."
"Sigh, I'm not..."
"Just pretend you are."
Xu Beifang ignored the discussion among his friends inside.
After receiving new advice from Qiangzi Ge yesterday and having a new goal, he regained his fighting spirit.
Qiangzi Ge's suggestion was quite reasonable: let him reach the top 100 on Faceit, rather than reaching number one on Faceit, or entering FPL-C or even FPL.
The difficulty of the latter two increases exponentially; it's simply inhuman.
Moving from reaching the top 100 on 5E to reaching the top 100 on Faceit seems to make no difference, but the primary problem is solving communication. The communication language on Faceit is English. Although below Faceit level 10, he can climb the ladder smoothly even playing 'mute CS', if he wants to enter the eyes of other teams later, having communication ability is a very important link.
So after receiving the advice yesterday, he specifically asked Qiangzi Ge about the English callouts for each map. Qiangzi Ge was also very enthusiastic and quickly posted an English callout map run on his account for him to learn.
But knowing the callouts is fine for simple information exchange, but it still doesn't work when it comes to tactical communication.
This is also an important reason why Xu Beifang started reciting words early in the morning.
And only after he started reciting words did he discover that perhaps it was the 'Language Super Speed Learning' skill; his understanding speed for words was very fast. Not only was it easy to memorize, but his understanding of parts of speech, grammar, phonetic symbols, and the like was quite rapid.
Xu Beifang recited for a while longer until Xiao Ming called him for breakfast.
After returning to the dormitory after eating, Xu Beifang started his daily live stream.
Although today is Friday, there is only a major ideological and political class around 3 PM, so the whole day is relatively free.
He opened the live stream on his computer and set the title:
"Climbing to Faceit Level 10 from scratch!"
After starting the stream, many fans entered the room. Xu Beifang greeted them simply and entered the aimbot map to start warming up with 1000 bots.
After finishing 1000 bots, under the guidance of fans, Xu Beifang successfully downloaded and registered for Faceit. When considering the ID, he pondered for a long time. After all, Faceit is different from 5E, and the previous "Flourishing" was more of a troll nature.
Now he has to get serious.
Recalling his CSGO career during this time, what popped up in Xu Beifang's mind were the sounds of his teammates shouting "Awesome" and "Nice" time and time again.
Decisively, Xu Beifang typed in the ID column: nice
He hoped that after he enters professional matches in the future, his performance would be worthy of this ID, and his teammates could shout for him excitedly time and time again.
Under the enthusiastic reminder of netizens, Xu Beifang remembered to turn on the accelerator.
Looking at Faceit level 3 in his personal data, Xu Beifang adjusted his sitting posture and seriously started his first Faceit match.
"Streamer, what's your DPI? Can you send the crosshair code?"
Looking at the questions from fans on the secondary screen on the right, Xu Beifang replied:
"DPI is 400x1.77, resolution is 16:9, but this thing is very personal. You can imitate it at first, but you need to make changes according to your own operation habits. The crosshair is something I copied randomly while playing deathmatch. If you need it, I'll post it in the feed later."
Settings are very personal. As Xu Beifang's strength gradually grew, he gradually understood this concept.
At first, influenced by Ma Dong's reminder, he directly copied s1mple's full set of settings from a settings website, but as his game time deepened, he also felt the discomfort of the mouse speed.
As for switching back from 4:3 to 16:9, it was a problem discovered when playing fun matches with Xiao Ming on official servers. With the same perspective, Xiao Ming's 16:9 could see more field of view!
In certain specific matches, this point could get more information and avoid missing timing. Just this point alone was worth Xu Beifang changing it back.
This is also why he was roasted for his low headshot rate when he met Danking.
16:9 heads are indeed harder to hit than 4:3.
Amidst the laughter with fans, his first Faceit match finally showed a successful match!
Xu Beifang flexed his fingers, preparing to start the crazy killing mode.
But as soon as he entered the game, he couldn't hold it in.
Even with the accelerator on, the latency was still 97!
He could clearly feel that the speed of the bullets fired was very slow, but fortunately, the paid accelerator at least didn't have packet loss.
In the first two rounds of the game, this operation that clearly felt laggy made Xu Beifang very uncomfortable.
But the 'Beginner Adaptability' he had never cared about played a good role at this time. After just 4 rounds, he slowly found the operation method under this high latency.
In the following scenes, the ladder became Xu Beifang's personal show.
However, it is worth mentioning that it seems many people are playing Faceit without an accelerator, and people on both sides drop out from time to time, which made Xu Beifang and the audience in the live room laugh.
But he also discovered a big difference between 5E and Faceit.
Faceit level 3 is the level of a newly created account, which can almost be equivalent to C or even lower on 5E.
At the C stage on 5E, everyone has no cooperation, and even doesn't need any cooperation; just play your own game.
While Faceit is relatively more proactive and team-oriented. These foreign teammates communicate very frequently, and even if their gunplay is worse, the overall game is played quite decently.
And even though the opponent was beaten by Xu Beifang in this game, while losing the match, the opponent also friendly typed 'gg' on the screen.
This gave Xu Beifang a quite good impression.
Just like this, Xu Beifang perfectly ended his first Faceit match with a record of 21/2/6!
Thanks to book friend xxx5815 for the 1500 point tip.
