Chapter 281: Championship Documentary

~31 min read 6,110 words

This afternoon, Xu Beifang, the college student, and Danking played a total of 4 games, winning 3 and losing 1.

The lost game was a bit helpless. To put it nicely, the opposite side's timing was caught very well.

To put it ugly, the opposite side had already started to penetrate the world, and the parameters were all maxed out.

Xu Beifang and Danking were very hard-working, but they still lost this ladder.

"Sorry, didn't bring you to win this game," Xu Beifang said with some regret. He didn't expect that just bringing fans to play a ladder for fun would encounter this kind of cheat.

The college student laughed: "It's okay, didn't we win so many games today? I've already laid down for quite a few games."

Xu Beifang looked at the time. In Vitality's small group, it was only half an hour away from the dinner time promised by the bald coach.

Open another game, and by then he could only let his teammates wait for him.

This was slightly not very good.

So Xu Beifang said: "Then let's be together next time if we have a chance. I have to go eat later, and I have to run-in and train at night."

"Okay, okay, you train hard." At this time, the shouting from the college student's dormitory came from the voice, "Beizige, you have to work hard. I want to see you win the championship again in the future, I want to see you win the Major championship!"

"Thanks to Beizige for bringing me up in rank, hope Beizige plays better and better in the match!"

As an ordinary CSGO player, seeing Xu Beifang lift the trophy in the StarSeries two days ago, it was simply too exciting, too cool!

So they naturally had expectations for some future tournaments, expecting Xu Beifang to stand on the trophy stage again, lift the trophy, and deepen his honor.

【Beep!】

【Suggestion received: Become a Major champion. Difficulty: 8 stars. After the mission is completed, you can obtain an S+-grade treasure chest...】

Major champion, that is the goal that all CSGO players strive for.

Even if it is twice a year, the difficulty is huge.

However, having just lifted a championship, Xu Beifang still had some confidence in his heart.

At this moment, hearing the praise from his fans, a pleasant smile had already appeared on Xu Beifang's face.

"Thanks, thanks, I will definitely work hard toward that goal."

After the college student exited the voice, Xu Beifang said to Danking: "Tie Dan, this is the emotional value I enjoy from fans. Have you ever enjoyed this kind of emotional value? It's really valuable!"

Emotional value?

Danking turned to his screen and shouted:

"Idan, can you guys do it? What about your emotional value?"

Then he looked at his screen:

【I announce that I will withdraw from the Idan nationality today.】

【Can't give any emotional value, the streamer is too Tang.】

【How to evaluate the streamer Danking?】

【As long as it's a person...】

【Danking is going to drop small pearls.】

【Don't cry too loudly, no one will double-peek with you if you fall off the e-sports chair later.】

【Why is Danking still negative record at the end?】

【The streamer is so powerful, what champion are you?】

"No emotional value, but blood pressure is up," Danking replied.

His live broadcast room was full of fun-seekers, who could turn into pressure boys at any time.

There was no emotional value at all. If you let them tease you to put pressure on you, they would be very energetic.

Xu Beifang was quite happy, and then saw the final settlement screen: "No, how did I kill 45, and you only killed 15 in the end? I said why this game was so hard to play."

Xu Beifang decisively chose to check the household registration book.

Then looking at it, Danking's records were all green.

The only few red ratings were all double-rowed with him.

"You kid, you are really acting for me!" Xu Beifang said through gritted teeth.

The yellow-haired goblin replied: "No, it's just that the hand feel is not good."

"Hand feel is not good every time you play with me?"

"What can I do? I don't want to either." Tie Dan was still stubborn, but his tone was a bit empty.

It was mainly because Xu Beifang was too C.

If he was playing alone, he would think about killing a few more in every round, not dying too early, and having to survive to win the retake.

Double-rowing with Xu Beifang, he thought, oh, I died, forget it, it's okay, anyway, Xu Beifang is here, directly empty his brain, and enjoy this pure CSGO.

This evolved into: double-rowing with Xu Beifang, he was crazily white-giving, and when Xu Beifang left, Tie Dan turned on the blood C state.

"You are the number one breakthrough point of Tyloo!!" Xu Beifang said through gritted teeth, "Wait for the next match, I will definitely give you intensity."

After hanging up the phone, Tie Dan laughed secretly in his heart.

In the next match, Vitality and Tyloo are not in the same division. Even if they participate in all international tournaments, sometimes they only face each other once a year. How long will it take?

But thinking about it, Xu Beifang is on intensity with Vitality in the European division.

He is following Tyloo in the Asian division, pecking at each other every day.

What is he happy about?

Saying goodbye to Tie Dan, there was half an hour left before the dinner time promised by the bald coach. Xu Beifang played a video of repairing cow hooves for everyone, while he recalled the inspiration he had with Danking in the ladder just now.

In that ladder game, the props of the college student who called himself the number one prop hand in Asia were very unsatisfactory, especially on this Dust 2 map, which is a gun-fighting map.

The quality of the props learned by the college student on the spot was ridiculously low.

Once when rushing B, they had already rushed in frontally, but the B-door smoke hadn't exploded yet.

Tie Dan complained at the time: "This B-door smoke is too slow."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.

Strictly speaking, the B-door smoke thrown by the college student wasn't slow, it just wasn't as fast as Tie Dan's delivery.

The previous xbox smoke at the spawn point of Dust 2, and the VIP smoke at the spawn point of Mirage, both made Xu Beifang taste the sweetness, so he was thinking.

Can a B-door smoke be researched that can be thrown from the spawn point.

But Xu Beifang thought about it roughly and felt that the feasibility was not great.

It's not that there is no possibility of research.

It's just relatively speaking, the effect is not great.

After all, B-door smoke is basically used in conjunction with speed-up tactics.

If it's a fake fight in the middle of the round, there will be better choices in other positions.

Even if the spawn point B-door smoke is researched, it has no tactical significance.

For example, you threw a spawn point smoke at the start, and before the person arrived at Area B, the smoke grenade had already exploded.

The other side will definitely be prepared in advance, and this prop will have the opposite effect.

So Xu Beifang was thinking, is there a smoke grenade that can fit the expansion of Area B rush very well.

In the state of rushing and speeding up at the first time, he can arrive at the B-door one step ahead of the bandits in the B-pass.

The attack on Area B of Dust 2 is very difficult to play, but once you successfully get control of Area B, the benefits brought are also huge.

Xu Beifang fell into deep thought, intending to enter the running map server and run the map casually to try a wave.

Just then, he saw Zywoo, who was playing Dota, shout: "Beifang, look at Vitality's official account, our championship documentary has been released."

"The speed is so fast??" Xu Beifang said with some surprise.

"It was released two hours ago," Zywoo added.

Speaking of which, it's quite sad. Every time they participate in a large-scale tournament, the accompanying publicity staff will shoot the entire team's match process and schedule status, etc.

But in half a year of team building, only this time was a video truly released.

Because only this time were results achieved!

Xu Beifang picked up his phone and soon saw Vitality's official account @ him on Twitter.

"Zywoo, are you finished over there?" Xu Beifang turned to ask, "Shall we watch it together?"

"Okay," Zywoo agreed immediately, "Just in time for the others to come over."

Zywoo was too lazy to walk and slid directly to Xu Beifang's side in his e-sports chair.

Xu Beifang switched screens and closed the video of repairing cow hooves.

【Don't!】

【This looks quite energetic, why did you close it?】

【I measure, little Xu, hurry up and reopen it, let me finish that one, don't force me to kneel down and beg you.】

【Obsessive-compulsive disorder committed, can you finish repairing that cow hoof?】

Repairing cow hooves and washing cars are the best videos to pass the time and decompress.

But if it's only half repaired, it's forcing the obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.

"Let's watch something else, not for anything else, just to let you feel the malice of society!" Xu Beifang said with a smile.

Then, amidst the condemnation of the live broadcast room, he clicked on the video link released by Vitality's official account.

Although he had won the StarSeries championship, Xu Beifang still felt it was quite interesting to look back at the things on the road to winning the championship now.

Memories are always beautified, and they can always bring people expectations for the future.

The title is very simple and clear:

【The Last Stand! Vitality 2019 StarSeries S7 Season Championship Documentary】

"The Last Stand." Zywoo thought, "It seems to be very appropriate."

Xu Beifang also nodded. In this StarSeries, in most cases, they were on the edge of danger, always a little bit away from being eliminated.

Saying it's a last stand, it seems there is no problem.

The dark picture gradually brightened, and Vitality's logo appeared in the picture, announcing the official start of the documentary.

The next moment, the picture color brightened, and a brilliant trophy appeared in the picture.

The voice-over is apEX's voice:

"The start of this tournament was not ideal, but we still have to try our best to play every match well."

The picture turned, and the lens came to the lounge.

JackZ's face appeared in front of the lens. He still brought a smile as usual, but his pale face could not hide his haggardness.

"Talk about your feelings about the last two matches." Vitality's shooting staff asked with a microphone.

apEX shook his head: "The feeling is not very good. We didn't make any preparations for this tournament, and in a hurry, everyone's state had some problems. This is not a good start."

Head coach XTQZZZ was still finding joy in suffering: "At least we didn't 1-2..."

The picture turned, and the screen thoughtfully reminded the audience of the timeline—April 2, 2019, Vitality record 1-2.

The previous scene was the head coach rejoicing that he didn't 1-2, the next scene jumped directly to Vitality being 1-2. This happy picture made the number of barrages soar instantly.

The documentary had only been released for two hours, but the number of plays was very exaggerated. At this moment, the audience in the video also expressed their own views.

【Laugh to death, the coach is really poisonous milk.】

【At least didn't 1-2 happy.】

【The program effect is full.】

【At that time, everyone thought this new lineup of Vitality was going to be a one-round tour.】

【No one expected that this is Vitality starting a last stand in advance!】

The lens was given to Xu Beifang. This is Vitality's training room, and Xu Beifang is responding to the scene at that time.

"At that time, everyone was actually quite pessimistic. No one expected to go to the end. We just tried our best to play every match well."

Zywoo added on the side: "My performance in this tournament was also not very good. If I look back with some thoughts, I could actually perform better."

Xu Beifang also had an impression. This was a point of view Zywoo said after the final review.

He believed that his playstyle in this tournament was too conservative, leading to the overall play not being active enough.

Sometimes he thought too much, and the players on the opposite side were too simple in his eyes, so he was instead stupidly overcome by the master.

So after thinking, Zywoo planned to adjust his playstyle in subsequent tournaments.

The voice-over started to ask: "In this tournament, you had a very bad start. When did you start to actively want to compete?"

Xu Beifang in the lens pondered for a while: "Perhaps... it was when Tyloo came to visit the class."

The lens changed again, coming to the lounge on April 2.

Danking and Xiaogui knocked on the door and asked about Xu Beifang's recent physical condition.

Xu Beifang, whose state had improved, also replied to them very easily at that time.

And when Danking asked what to do about this record.

Xu Beifang in the lens said very second-degree: "Then start the Northern Expedition, start climbing up from taking out VG!"

The barrage flew above the video instantly:

【The gears of fate have started to turn!】

【Cyber Northern Expedition officially started!】

【I really didn't expect that there is Tyloo's business here.】

【Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!】

The documentary continued to shoot down, and the rhythm was very fast.

From a double-speed angle, it quickly played several key exchange of fire rounds.

"Nice is standing in a very dangerous angle. This position is very awkward. Once VG unfolds the explosive bomb, he will be supplemented after taking out at most one!"

"VG's explosive bomb unfolded, A-Zhong was

"The Terrorists at A Small are throwing themselves forward one after another trying to trade the kill. Nice's rifle is out of ammo, but he still has his Desert Eagle! He switches to the Desert Eagle and kills another one in return, and his teammate also completes the trade. This wave of VG's offensive was completely evaporated by Nice head-on. He single-handedly dismantled VG's attack!"

Xu Beifang also recalled that match.

His form had just recovered, and the map was Overpass, which VG had prepared for a long time; even though he found his rhythm later on, winning this map was not easy.

And if he remembered correctly, he had also pulled off a very eye-catching 1v4 on this map.

Although VG had good discipline, their mid-to-late game handling and trade kills were slightly lacking.

And after entering Inferno, it came to Vitality's comfort zone; VG was completely beaten up, and they took this BO3 very easily.

Zywoo added from the side: "It was at this moment that I felt we could still be saved."

After winning against VG, the group stage score had reached 2-2.

Next, they entered the do-or-die match.

Win one more to enter the playoffs, lose one more and go home.

Vitality's fighting spirit had been ignited by their anticipation for the playoffs.

The documentary officially entered the match between Vitality and NRG.

The map was Dust II.

This time it was presented in the form of team voice comms.

As the attacking side, Vitality's opening attempt was not smooth, and in the end, only Xu Beifang and Zywoo survived, needing to face this 2v5 clutch.

apEX's voice rang out: "3v2 clutch, there is one very low on B Site."

shox tentatively said: "In this situation, we should probably save our weapons."

The audience watching the documentary felt that saving was also a reasonable move, after all, it was 2v5.

But apEX said: "Trust them, let them try."

Immediately after, on the screen, Xu Beifang and Zywoo coordinated with each other and successfully completed this amazing 2v5.

Xu Beifang's 90-degree flick to kill two people in a row on Dust II B Site made the documentary screen fill with question marks.

【How the hell is this positioning? Muscle memory pre-aiming outside the field of view, too terrifying.】

【Is he really not a human-like cheat?】

【Is this the first-person view of a pro??】

【Did this kid turn his settings up this high?】

【This performance completely broke NRG's mentality.】

Zywoo looked at Xu Beifang, "I still don't understand how you pulled off that performance."

Unlike Xu Beifang's bold and unconstrained playstyle, Zywoo relied more on awareness to operate.

Simple, unadorned aiming and firing.

This kind of instantaneous large-angle flick rarely appeared in his operational thought process.

"It really looks like a lock." JackZ didn't know when he had walked into the training room, and at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh.

In the documentary, under Xu Beifang's leadership, this confrontation was undoubtedly won as well.

But just when they intended to strike while the iron was hot to take down NRG and smoothly enter the playoffs.

After entering Map 2, Mirage, the initial confrontation was still methodical, and both sides seesawed to 3:2; Vitality's emotions were all very normal.

But as they entered the long gun rounds, NRG's coordination and rhythm in the long gun rounds made them feel immense pressure.

The numbers on the screen kept changing:

3:2

3:7

3:9

3:12!

As the defending side, Vitality was read by NRG like a book.

During the halftime break, everyone appeared very silent.

Watching this oppressive atmosphere, the viewers watching the documentary also knew that the turning point was about to begin!

【It's coming!】

【The comeback officially starts from here!】

【Let's go Vitality!】

【The place where the Ma Liangwan legendary moment was born.】

【Haha, Ma Xixi really understands CSGO, I'm crying!】

The audience in the livestream was quite expectant because this was the first time they truly realized what kind of commander apEX was.

Before this match.

Some casual players thought apEX was a pressure-monster.

Players who understood a little CSGO thought apEX only relied on his teammates' limelight, and whenever a teammate made a highlight, he would stand up and shout.

But following a smooth B Site attack, they successfully got the first point of the second half.

As Vitality's captain, apEX, despite the large score deficit and the oppressive atmosphere, let out his own battle cry:

"Ahhh!!!"

Even when facing a headwind, he was still trying hard to convey Vitality's ideas!

He took the initiative to drive the team's atmosphere.

And it was officially after this round that Vitality's subsequent offensive rounds were very smooth.

Even though the score at the top of the screen was 4:15!

The numbers at the top of the screen started flickering again:

4:15

6:15

10:15

15:15

19:16!

Vitality completed this epic comeback and successfully entered the playoffs.

The voiceover began to ask:

"When did you feel that you could win the championship?"

The camera began to cut quickly, and at a very fast speed, the screen flashed through scenes of the five Vitality members sitting in their rooms.

The voices of the five players intertwined, and at different times, they said the same answer:

"After defeating NRG!"

Xu Beifang turned his head to look at Zywoo and JackZ, very surprised:

"You guys thought so too?"

"Yeah, I thought since we've already entered the playoffs, the following teams are all more or less the same, so we definitely have to keep pushing forward to compete for the championship of this tournament." Zywoo still had a calm and breezy expression.

JackZ replied: "We solved that level of difficulty, and I had one thought at the time: I came to the right place, these are reliable teammates, so I definitely had expectations for the championship."

After defeating NRG and successfully completing the comeback, Xu Beifang had a thought in his heart: we won such a difficult match, what other match can we not win?

【Indeed, this confrontation with NRG gave Vitality confidence.】

【I watched the entire StarSeries, and I feel that after this match, Vitality's overall rhythm was completely different.】

【Their Ren-Du meridians were directly opened up by NRG.】

【Quickly say thank you to NRG, meow~】

【Speaking of which, it's also revenge; last year, Little Xu was eliminated by NRG.】

Dense bullet comments entered the discussion.

The screen returned to the match again.

"Zywoo kills one, but ENCE is still rushing forward trying to trade him, but Zywoo found the angle, and with one Desert Eagle shot, he insta-killed Karrigan. The remaining Aerial tried to trade, but Zywoo's Desert Eagle insta-killed him with another shot!"

"This Desert Eagle is all headshots, it's too outrageous! A 700-dollar fully automatic sniper rifle, firing even faster than a sniper rifle!"

"…ENCE's offensive on A Site has unfolded. Now only Nice with a sniper rifle is defending A Site, but the problem is that this sniper rifle has already started spinning. With a wave of left-and-right-handed operations, he has already pulled off a four-kill. ENCE's offensive has been dismantled!"

When the final kill concluded, Xu Beifang stood up and looked at shox with a murderous gaze.

The French male model on the other end of the player bench shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent.

In the documentary, Xu Beifang's voice came through, gritting his teeth: "You old lurker."

The bullet comments in the video were also full of "hahaha."

They all discovered that it seemed that after defeating NRG, the way everyone in Vitality got along became more harmonious.

You know, among guys, this kind of cheeky behavior actually requires being quite familiar with each other; generally, when facing people with a more distant relationship, one can't do this kind of cheeky behavior.

The voiceover rang out again: "This is the first time the new lineup has reached the top four. Vitality's best result is currently top four. Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

JackZ still appeared very happy in front of the camera; he wanted to say he wasn't nervous, but in the end, he frankly admitted everything.

"The mood is actually very complicated. This is my first time participating in a top-tier offline tournament. The teammates are all great, you know, Nice and Zywoo are very special players I've seen; their strength is far stronger than I imagined, they don't even look like humans."

【A wonderful compliment from a teammate.】

【JackZ: The two teammates are cheaters, can't even evaluate them anymore.】

【Even among professional players, there are gaps.】

JackZ was actually quite lost here.

He had gone through a long period of struggle.

Before joining Vitality, he had always played the entry fragger position and had always aimed to be a star player.

But after joining Vitality, the team's frontal firepower was sufficient, and there wasn't much demand for his firepower. Although the matches were won very easily, he had always been a bit uneasy.

"The first major tournament after the roster change, and we could smoothly enter the top four, I'm definitely happy." JackZ continued to answer, "The pressure is naturally there; I worry that my performance won't be able to help my teammates and will drag the team down."

This was what JackZ was worried about.

He wasn't worried about his status in the team, but worried that his ability couldn't provide effective help to the team.

Xu Beifang looked up at JackZ and said: "Looking at it now, this all already has an answer."

They were the final champions of the StarSeries, and these five people couldn't have reached the final step if any one of them was missing.

In the first half of 2019, when NBK and RPK were still there, although he and Zywoo were both in form, they still struggled very much.

But just after the roster change, the addition of JackZ and shox brought them subtle changes; on the offensive end, Xu Beifang was still driving the rhythm.

And because JackZ's firepower was more stable compared to NBK, Vitality's frontal firepower was not lacking, and even apEX had started to act as the boss to trade kills.

Of course, apEX hadn't completely transformed into that role yet.

Now he was taking on more of the task of going out to collect information for Xu Beifang and Zywoo.

Although as a lurker, the rounds where he relied on shox to open up a world were very few.

But Xu Beifang's powerful frontal breakthrough ability basically meant that Vitality didn't really need a lurker to open up the situation.

He only needed to stand out and have one or two inspired performances when the front was deadlocked, and that was enough.

Today's Vitality was not the lineup with the strongest strength on paper, but it was already a lineup that could compete for the championship.

This was also why Xu Beifang said this all already had an answer.

Because they had already lifted a championship trophy with this lineup!

JackZ smiled; just like what Xu Beifang said, he already had the answer in his heart.

He looked at the computer screen again.

The rhythm of the documentary began to accelerate, and the music also became tense.

However, it was mostly rendering the shots of their own players; Xu Beifang's competitive state kept rising, and the other few also slowly found their own form.

"The midnight bell rings, the Australian Cowboys have fallen into Vitality's hands, and this venue will be packed again tomorrow!!"

The commentator's voice was extremely passionate, and everyone only then realized that, unknowingly, Vitality had already won these matches one after another and was already standing on the final stage.

The voiceover rang out:

"Nice, can you talk about your thoughts on entering the finals? Will you be very nervous?"

Xu Beifang in the lounge pondered for a long time before saying: "This is my first time entering an S-tier offline event; logically speaking, I should be nervous."

"But you might be disappointed." Xu Beifang smiled, "pasha passed the experience to me very early on at the ZOTAC Cup; he taught me how to deal with these scenes."

"I miss the scene at that time, and I also want to replicate the process of the finals again on my home court."

At the ZOTAC Cup match, Xu Beifang walked onto the final stage and eventually successfully lifted that trophy with the big brothers of VP.

While speaking, Xu Beifang in the camera waved at the cameraman, signaling him to come over to film.

The cameraman was also quite curious, took the camera and walked over, and soon he saw a photo at the bottom of Xu Beifang's album.

Under the sky full of fireworks and brilliant lights, Xu Beifang, wearing a VP jersey, was surrounded by pasha and others, lifting his first trophy.

【Holy crap, old VP!】

【Tears, brothers, Myfriend only remained in memory.】

【This is the seed left by the Golden VP!】

【In a blink of an eye, it's already been a year.】

"Do you still keep photos of the old VP?" The cameraman was a bit surprised, "I thought that was just a team you transitioned through."

Xu Beifang in the lounge didn't blame the cameraman for his sharp "words," and said slowly: "The initial thought might have been to rely on VP to transition for me; presumably you also know that VP was the first stop of my professional career."

Most of the netizens watching the documentary also understood this matter.

Xu Beifang's experience of becoming a professional player was still quite interesting.

From a big-silver player, he had an epiphany, started working hard to become stronger, and finally entered the realm of gods.

They could only say it was outrageous.

However, this experience also inspired many ordinary players.

Xu Beifang continued: "I played matches in VP for a few months; pasha, Byali, NEO, and MICHU all left a very deep impression on me, and now we chat whenever we have free time."

"Especially pasha, if it weren't for him going against the grain back then, I would probably be a streamer now. You know, a 22-year-old older player, wanting to play professionally is very difficult."

JackZ also had a deep understanding of this point.

He couldn't help but think, if he had a guide like pasha at the beginning, would everything have been smoother?

Xu Beifang continued: "After bringing me onto this path, pasha was not just a colleague; he was more like a family member, an old big brother in my life."

"Even when they were going to retire later, they were all trying hard to help me communicate with other teams for trials and help me choose the most suitable team."

"Even back then because I was relatively thin and weak, pasha took me to the gym every day… of course, he didn't care if I could handle it." While speaking, Xu Beifang rolled up his sleeves and showed off the results of his fitness training.

Looking at the exaggerated arm muscles under Xu Beifang's short sleeves, the top of the video was instantly covered by bullet comments.

【As expected of the one who sells rice.】

【Are the old VP all this powerful?】

【That's for sure, even Devilwalk whipped their corpses, and in the end, Devilwalk was abandoned by the team, and they still ran over to comfort Devilwalk.】

【Tears, if the old VP could still play, it would probably still be VP. Nice now.】

【No way, the glory of the old VP has passed.】

If the old VP still had the strength to fight back then, with Xu Beifang's temperament, he would indeed have stayed in the old VP to try playing for a few years.

Because the feeling in the old VP back then was indeed very good.

As the youngest player in the team, everyone didn't have high requirements for Xu Beifang.

And his various ideas, the big brothers would treat them seriously.

No pressure, and he could speak his mind; it couldn't be more comfortable.

Although Vitality's team atmosphere was also very good now, and his status in the team was very high.

But now he was already acting as the core of a team, everyone had high requirements for him, and he had pressure on him.

For example, in a match, if his performance was slightly worse, winning this match would be very difficult.

And one of his ideas now had too much influence on the whole team.

There were many times when he had to be cautious, thinking about whether it would have a counterproductive effect on the team.

Of course, this was also the only way to become stronger.

When reaching a certain level, the execution of various playstyles and ideas was definitely not as free as before.

Just like in VP, NEO could execute a 4-protect-1, and in order to protect Xu Beifang's forward peek, he would directly arrange a 5A gamble.

But now Vitality had to pursue more stability and efficiency.

They had to abandon some playstyles that were too dangerous for higher goals.

The documentary presented the last question:

"Why did you set a flag in advance before the finals?"

The next scene showed a photo, which was the screenshot of Xu Beifang's dynamic — "Plan changed, preparing to win the championship!"

This question had actually been answered once in the post-match interview after lifting the trophy.

But in the documentary, Xu Beifang's answer was different.

"Because I felt that standing on that stage, it was impossible for me to think about losing." Xu Beifang in the camera had a confident smile on his face, "Although Vitality was pulled over to make up the numbers this time, since we've already reached the finals, it means we have the ability to win the championship."

"In my impression, I had defeated NAVI twice, even if they were two BO1s, so I thought NAVI should be the one under more pressure."

【Crazy!】

【I think about it carefully, it seems Little Xu's record against NAVI is indeed 2-0, he hasn't lost a single one.】

【Now it should be 3-0!】

"Besides, the match venue was in Shanghai, I could feel everyone's expectations for me; occupying the home-court advantage, why wouldn't I be able to beat NAVI?"

As if to confirm Xu Beifang's words, the next scene showed the finals entrance, and many items with Vitality logos in the camera came into the venue to prepare for watching the match.

The music became tense, and the screen began to enter the Map 1 match.

Both sides were constantly fighting on Nuke, and NAVI gave them very great pressure head-on.

Even though Xu Beifang and Zywoo stood out and had many good performances, Map 1 still headed toward failure.

The music was a bit low, just like Vitality's mood.

But after entering Map 2, Inferno, everything returned to the rhythm it should have.

"Nice's hand feel has completely heated up on this map. At first, Zeus didn't plan to sit and wait for death; a wave of mid-counter-flash was very fatal, and Vitality was instantly left with only Nice."

"The B Site CT took the initiative to counter-flash out to collect information, but Nice seized the opportunity and insta-killed Flamie in return! 1v5 became 1v4, the situation was still not optimistic."

"Nice jumped onto VIP and killed Edward; he used the sound of reloading to trick Zeus. Is there a chance for this clutch?"

"S1mple's sniper rifle is holding the Boiler Room directly; this wave has to rely on reaction. But what's up with Nice? He jumped down from VIP and doesn't plan to fight? But S1mple didn't hear it! This wave is very fatal!"

"S1mple was directly killed, leaving only Electronic… he is still clearing points, but Nice pulled out and fired one shot! We are witnessing the birth of an epic legendary moment in CSGO!"

After this 1v5, the mood of the documentary also kept rising.

The NAVI members appearing in the camera were all very uncomfortable; everyone understood that Vitality was crazily taking points.

Finally, following a firefight on A Site on Mirage.

S1mple in the camera was already red-hot, helplessly covering his face.

The audience off-stage erupted in amazing shouts, and the audience in the venue were all crazily shouting: "Vitality!!!"

The moment the match ended, Xu Beifang in the camera was roaring ferociously on the player bench.

The audience off-stage waved the items with Vitality elements in their hands, and the excited ones even shouted in Chinese: "Champion! Beizige won the championship!!"

Xu Beifang had always looked at this match from the perspective of a player, and he really felt his heart surging at the time.

At this moment, from the perspective of the audience, he also felt his blood boiling.

In the eyes of the fans off-stage, he substantially felt the expectations the fans had for him.

They wanted to see Xu Beifang lift the trophy, wanted to see Xu Beifang defeat the championship favorite NAVI.

Finally, under the sky full of cheers, the members of Vitality hugged together.

Xu Beifang in the screen also led the team toward the trophy stage.

Then, surrounded by his teammates, just as if he were still in the VP period, he lifted the trophy with one hand.

Under the golden ribbons, he lifted that trophy.

The screen at this moment all turned into:

【We are the champions!!】

Everyone seemed to have walked through Vitality's journey to the championship again.

The following scenes were the Vitality members shaking hands with the fans on-site, as well as some short signatures.

The music slowly came to the end, and the Vitality members on the bus were happily singing their own victory song.

Amidst the singing, the documentary came to an end.

apEX's voice came from behind: "This documentary is really well made."

Zywoo added: "It's just that it filmed me a little bit fatter."

"Do you think that's a filming problem?"

"Follow Beifang to get up early and run; in a month, Zywoo, you'll have a double chin."

JackZ complained: "I still hope the documentary could be longer; it felt like it ended before I even watched it."

Xu Beifang turned off the livestream amidst the audience's reluctance: "Whether the documentary can be longer depends on everyone's performance next; I don't want it to end in three minutes next time."

"So for the next matches, we have to work hard!"

Everyone in the room was full of longing for the future.
