Chapter 290: Nice, I'm your fan!

May 3, 2019, Friday.

Suitable for: Consecration, Travel, Logging, Lighting fires...

Avoid: Marriage, Starting work, Trading...

In the few days after the group stage ended, apart from going out to film a promotional video, Vitality spent the rest of their time training Vertigo with FaZe. Now, they had a certain understanding of their level on Vertigo.

Thanks to Xu Beifang's outstanding tactical sense, their map understanding was at least a notch ahead of FaZe. Honestly, even if tomorrow's opponent was Astralis, if the final confrontation was on this map, they were now confident they could take it.

Whether they could play smoothly in the upcoming playoffs, this map would play a huge role.

It's just that apEX was still somewhat anxious, thinking whether his team could truly display the dominance they had in practice matches on this map was still a question.

After all, FaZe's performance in practice matches really didn't feel serious.

Especially NIKO; recently in Vertigo practice matches, the way he played Yellow Cloth made apEX feel like he was just messing around.

He was worried this would affect his assessment of their strength.

Regarding the match content, they were basically prepared, plus the bald coach XTQZZZ felt uncomfortable because his hair was growing out.

So, after Xu Beifang consulted with the director, they came to a barbershop he recommended.

Apart from the slightly higher price, there were no other problems with this barbershop.

"Sure enough, you get what you pay for." XTQZZZ looked at his shiny scalp in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"And this cost me 30 Euros? Why isn't he robbing people?" apEX's expression was even more painful.

Apart from XTQZZZ, no one could walk out of a barbershop smiling.

Xu Beifang sat in the waiting area and looked up.

Actually, the hairstyle was fine, but apEX wasn't the handsome face of his youth anymore. In recent years, he had aged slightly, and men's hairstyles are often cut short for grooming.

After the cut, the whole person would feel a sense of strangeness, and looking in the mirror would feel very awkward.

This is why it's hard for men to walk out of a barbershop smiling.

However, he didn't have this trouble for now, because he was trying to grow out a medium-long hairstyle, the kind that reaches the chin.

As for the reason, it was mainly because he saw a medium-long-haired UP creator on Bilibili and thought it looked quite good, so he wanted to try it.

Actually, a long time ago, perhaps in his student days, he had the idea of trying this.

But every time his bangs just covered his eyebrows, his parents would start nagging.

Now Xu Beifang spent most of his time abroad and could do whatever he wanted.

Xu Beifang looked up and saw ZywOo sitting obediently in the barber chair, but the feeling he gave was like sitting in a baby chair.

ZywOo had no requirements for his hairstyle, as long as it didn't affect his life.

He preferred a short buzz cut because it was very convenient to manage.

It looked like it would take some time, so Xu Beifang stood up and went to the entrance to breathe some fresh outdoor air.

Sydney in May had officially entered autumn. Xu Beifang saw people on the streets of Sydney starting to show off their outfits. Autumn is the most interesting season because Xu Beifang could see various outfits for different seasons at a glance.

Under a street lamp in the distance, a young man was still wearing short sleeves, laughing and talking with friends.

Not far away, an office worker rushing with a cup of coffee was wearing a wool cardigan.

An aunt across the street was already wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

This was a scene completely unseen in his hometown.

Besides everyone showing off their outfits, as the playoffs officially started, offline spectators could officially enter, and some CSGO elements began to appear on the streets.

When he just arrived at the barbershop, Xu Beifang saw a boy wearing a Liquid hoodie.

At this moment, a very pretty girl appeared in his field of vision, carrying a backpack with a G2 team logo sticker on it.

shox squatted on the side of the road, puffing away, and couldn't help but say: "I suddenly regret coming to Vitality. G2 has so many female fans!"

Xu Beifang lightly punched him: "It has nothing to do with you; your fans are all old 'nan tong' (gay men)."

shox himself had the joyful attribute of a Frenchman and also liked to mess around in the live broadcast room during days off from training.

His best scene in live broadcasts was wearing a pilot's outfit, COSPLAYing as a captain, and dancing passionately in the live broadcast room. That scene remains an indelible memory in the CSGO professional circle.

Netizens commented that anyone who has stayed in G2 is not quite normal.

However, with such a "messing around" player in the team, there was no big problem with the overall atmosphere.

Even on the night they became the group leader, they argued about the game for three hours, but it was just about the matter itself, and their relationship outside the match was not affected.

In fact, because of this argument, they understood their teammates better, and the relationship became even more harmonious.

A group of people admired the scenery outside the window and soon saw ZywOo walking out of the barbershop with a smile.

shox walked over and patted his head: "Feels good, looks like a good head."

This made ZywOo slightly angry, and he patted him lightly with his hand.

After a simple team-building session, it was getting late. After consideration, they found a Japanese Wagyu BBQ restaurant with a 4.9 Google rating to have dinner.

Although the playoffs had started, as the group leader, they could leisurely watch the situation unfold.

Because tomorrow was their specific match time.

"Beifang, do you think Mouz has a chance to beat Liquid?"

IEM Sydney playoffs officially started, and Xu Beifang saw Xiao Ming's CSGO club group discussing this issue.

"Feels like Liquid isn't as strong as imagined; Mouz still has hope, right?"

Seeing the discussion in the group, Xu Beifang didn't know how to answer.

If you say there's no hope, that's absolutely impossible.

After all, the ceiling of this Mouz lineup is also very high, but if you say there's a lot of hope, Karrigan himself is just practicing through matches.

There is still a certain gap in hard power.

Mainly because Xu Beifang is now the No. 1 Asian CSGO player, anything he says is easily taken out of context.

If he says he favors Mouz, Liquid fans will definitely be unconvinced.

Then it would cause a stir in the forums because of this evaluation.

So in the end, he just replied: Still depends on the specific BP.

And then went straight to lurking.

JackZ was holding his phone, watching the live broadcast of the IEM Sydney playoffs. The opening ceremony had ended, and the Group A matches officially started.

Looking at the BP results of the two teams, he analyzed: "With this BP, Mouz still has some hope."

Xu Beifang leaned over to take a look; the final BO3 map pool was locked on Mirage, Inferno, and Nuke.

apEX also leaned over to join the fun: "Still have hope. Map 1 Mirage has no hope, but Karrigan's Inferno is quite good. If they take Inferno, then entering Map 3 is hard to say."

The bald coach flipped the BBQ on the table and, hearing their chat, retorted: "No hope. Mouz's Inferno and Liquid's are not on the same level. Unless someone has a breakout performance, they can't win."

In this BO3 between Mouz and Liquid, Mouz was already a point weaker from the BP.

Mouz's strongest map is Train, but Liquid is a team that stably bans Train. This put pressure on Mouz from the start.

And on Mouz's side, their practice for the new map didn't go well, so they banned Vertigo, making the map pool slightly uncomfortable.

"Mouz shouldn't be able to beat them," Xu Beifang also nodded. "Karrigan himself is very clear. If they had a chance to win the championship with their overall strength, they wouldn't be focusing on practice in this tournament."

"However, our goal must still be focused on NIP and Fnatic. The winner between them is our next opponent."

Vitality, as the group leader, was already waiting in the semi-finals, and the team that won between NIP and Fnatic would face them tomorrow.

Because Liquid has many fans, plus it's the first offline event, the audience's attention to the quarter-finals is very high.

But many people are also looking forward to the confrontation between NIP and Fnatic.

Although these two teams are slightly behind in the world rankings.

One is World No. 8, the other is World No. 10.

But NIP is a proper "internet celebrity team."

The term "internet celebrity team" here is not derogatory; it's more of a compliment.

As an important dynasty memory in CSGO history, NIP is an indelible part.

Forest Brother plus Get_Right is one of the most classic combinations in CS history; they have created too many miracles.

Many NIP fans are personal fans of the two, all hoping to see these two veterans continue to achieve some results in the twilight of their careers.

Carrying nostalgia, their eyes looked at the NIP team with expectation.

Although they can no longer return to their peak, Get_Right and Forest Brother's performance remains stable, and the other two players are also commendable.

The only thing that gives them a headache is the newcomer REZ.

His performance is too extreme.

Once he gets into the zone, he can chase down a bunch of tier-one gunners.

But once he loses his feel, he completely disappears in the match.

Now NIP's ceiling is too dependent on this guy's performance.

On the other side, Fnatic also hopes the team can achieve results again, as a tier-one "tail-ender."

They really hope this tournament can have a good result, which can bring some confidence to the team, so they don't have to hang at the end of tier-one all year round.

Fnatic's performance in the last few months has been very good, and JW and xizt's status has recovered.

Brollan, although scolded by old players for being bad when he first joined, officially began to rise after adapting to the SG553.

The "milky gunner" officially began to exert force, and Fnatic looked full of momentum, seemingly looking forward to the future.

But discerning people can see that JW and xizt's recovery is more like a final flash in the pan.

In the last few months, it might be their last time active on the tier-one stage.

Everyone wants to give their idol a perfect ending, but...

There are so many tragic stories, who is more special than whom?

Electronic sports are realistic, matches are cruel, and there is only one final champion!

Whether it's Fnatic or NIP, to lift the championship, they must first cross them.

"We actually don't need to be too anxious. Next, whether it's NIP or Fnatic, we won't be too restricted in BP." The bald coach tasted the Wagyu. "We just need to play normally, and there shouldn't be any problems."

These two are just tier-one teams and don't have specialist maps like Big's Dust II, Liquid's Mirage, or NAVI's Train.

So at least in pre-match preparation, there's no need to spend too much effort.

"But don't be careless because of this!" apEX added. "In the world of CSGO, anything is possible. Once we officially enter the match, we still have to treat it seriously."

"Then for the semi-finals, let's just bring out Vertigo. We've trained for so long, it's time to let it shine." Head coach XTQZZZ said. "In short, our overall strength is superior. In the semi-final confrontation, just play slowly according to the training. We still maintain full competitiveness."

Xu Beifang's analysis during training the day before yesterday helped them clear their thoughts.

He felt his team actually didn't have much pressure, even if they faced Liquid again, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the map pool.

And they had an outstanding sniper, who was at an advantage in the confrontation; Liquid was the one at a disadvantage.

They were very likely to lift their second trophy at IEM Sydney.

In that case, the confidence of the Vitality members would be truly established!

After dinner, they drove back to the hotel and started resting early. After the quarter-finals were played today, it would be their turn to appear tomorrow.

When XTQZZZ finally got on the bus, the vehicle started.

In the playoff stage, the match was held at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney Olympic Park.

"Your childhood, my childhood, seem to be the same~"

Xu Beifang, who was admiring the scenery, heard childhood memories coming from the bus.

He turned to shox somewhat speechlessly: "Brother~ can we change the song?"

"Don't you think this song is hype?" shox shouted.

Back at the StarSeries, Xu Beifang was browsing videos, and shox heard this melody.

shox instantly fell in love with this melody, although he didn't know what it was singing specifically.

But good songs can make people feel their quality just through the melody.

shox had been looping it recently, which gave Xu Beifang a headache because whenever this song played, the figures of that family would always appear in his mind.

Xu Beifang ignored shox, who was trying to dance in his seat, and opened his phone to browse the forum.

The forum was as lively as ever.

As he expected, Mouz still didn't cross the mountain that was Liquid. In last night's match, they couldn't even take a single map.

Fans expressed great regret.

In this IEM Sydney tournament, although Karrigan had always aimed at training troops.

But in reality, their overall performance wasn't bad.

In fact, in the current IEM Sydney tournament, Mouz is the team with the best data.

They played a total of 9 maps, with an average rating of 1.21.

Han Wang lived up to his name as a genius teenager, playing a 1.30 rating over 9 maps, even more exaggerated than when Xu Beifang first debuted.

ropz's data was slightly worse, but he also got a 1.25 rating.

woxic followed closely, getting a 1.24 rating.

This is enough to show that the team members' performance wasn't bad, but their results eventually stopped at the top six.

Liquid successfully entered the semi-finals and was about to play against NRG.

On the other side, the confrontation between NIP and Fnatic, after two overtime battles, JW's old blade remained sharp, taking the final victory.

REZ drew a god-tier card in this BO3, but was ultimately a move short.

Today's opponent for Vitality is Fnatic.

The IEM Sydney tournament has entered the semi-final stage, and everyone's discussion about the subsequent match content is very intense, especially as the match approaches, many viewers are expressing their discussions about the results.

【Let's go Vitality!】

【Is it just going through the motions? Feels like JW will play around today】

【Still remember Northern Brother being knifed by JW last year, directly full firepower】

【To be honest, as a Fnatic fan, I don't see any hope. No one can restrict Little Xu】

【Mama-san can only hope Brollan breaks out, otherwise this BO3 is unplayable】

【To be honest, JW hasn't been messing around much recently, and Piggy's status is stable, not that exaggerated】

【Indeed, Fnatic as a veteran tier-one, strength is still sufficient, recent status is also good, still have some pressure】

Pressure?

Naturally, there is.

Now the match hasn't started, and what they discussed before the match was just an inference from paper information.

In the world of CSGO, as long as the match isn't fixed, anything is possible.

Without defeating the opponent, there might be variables.

Moreover, as a short-TTK game, the player's feel has too much influence on the match.

Take the previous practice match with FaZe as an example. NIKO only played an average rating of about 1.07 in the Vertigo training, being teased by Xu Beifang as a "Yellow Cloth Bot" and "Yellow Cloth Zombie," focusing on humor.

But sometimes, when NIKO gets into the zone, he can also let you know what a "serious Yellow Cloth" is, standing alone like a God of War.

The feel is very unreasonable.

Recently they haven't slacked off in training; at least their performance in practice matches was very good, and they didn't think their feel was that bad.

However, for the upcoming match, they were still very serious.

ZywOo and shox both put on headphones, closing their eyes and listening to music, allowing themselves to better enter the offline state.

Xu Beifang didn't have the habit of listening to music to enter the state, so he just closed his eyes and leaned back to rest for a while.

It wasn't until they arrived at the Qudos Bank Arena that Xu Beifang was awakened by his teammates.

At this time, his mood was still quite calm, but when walking into the venue from the side player tunnel, the passionate shouts of fans checking tickets not far away also made them focus their attention on the upcoming match.

Most people outside were very optimistic about them, hoping they could successfully defeat Fnatic.

If they lost now, it wouldn't be fun.

They arrived early and started preparing in advance; it wasn't match time yet.

The bald coach went through today's BP ideas with them, and then went through the general tactics and playstyles they needed to use.

It wasn't until 5 PM local Sydney time that Vitality began to enter the venue from the player tunnel amidst the shouts of the audience.

At that moment, the shouts of the audience rushed into his ears, and Xu Beifang finally felt the familiar offline feeling return!

"Konnichiwa minna-san, Sydney has been played for several days, and we finally saw Vitality's figure again. It's great to have their matches to watch!" Bilibili UP creator "Waste Brother Hamburger," seeing the match start, rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Today's match is a semi-final duel. The winner will directly enter the final, and the loser will be eliminated."

Hamburger analyzed: "From the paper strength, Vitality is definitely more superior. After all, Northern Brother is now one of the most outstanding riflemen on the market, and ZywOo's sniper rifle won't be weaker than JW's. In terms of personal ability, Vitality is definitely more superior."

"And qualifying as group leader gives Vitality plenty of time to prepare."

"However, Fnatic is not without any advantages. They fought their way up from the group stage, and their overall feel must be better. They are currently in a period of high morale."

As he spoke, the screen entered the BP stage.

"Vitality, as the group leader, prioritized the first ban, and they went up and removed Train."

"And Fnatic directly removed Inferno."

Although he is a "neutral commentator" leaning towards Vitality, Hamburger thinks this move is quite reasonable.

Vitality's Inferno intensity is too high. He specifically checked Vitality's data before the match, and they have won 7 consecutive games on Inferno recently, and no one has been able to break their winning streak yet.

As long as players are willing to pay attention to the match, they understand how exaggerated Vitality's dominance on Inferno is recently.

So Fnatic's ban is very reasonable.

Then, Fnatic's leader xizt saw Vitality directly lock in Vertigo.

This scene caused many gasps under the stage.

As a new map, Vertigo has sparked many discussions in tactics and playstyles.

Vitality, as a famous tactical team, hasn't performed it in a match, and the audience has always been curious.

"Tsk tsk~" NIKO looked at the Vertigo locked on the screen, and a hint of expectation arose in his heart.

Being dragged by Vitality to practice frantically a few days ago, they saw the opponent's exaggerated level on Vertigo, so NIKO discussed with his teammates which match Vitality would bring Vertigo out in.

NIKO even thought maliciously: 'Vitality might hide it, and then hide it until the next tournament.'

But looking at it today, Vitality wasn't that stubborn. Once the semi-finals started, they directly locked in this map.

"Let's see what Fnatic picks." rain's voice came from the voice comms.

"Locked in Mirage?" rain was a bit puzzled. "Vitality's Mirage isn't weak either."

NIKO explained: "Fnatic's map pool is a bit weak; they can't target Vitality."

"Now let's see how many points Fnatic can get on this map."

Fnatic, as a tier-one tail-ender, updates its lineup almost every off-season. They basically don't have a long-lasting lineup, which leads to the team's map pool not being very good.

The problem now is that the maps Fnatic knows, Vitality also knows, and they can likely play them better.

And the maps Vitality doesn't play, their level isn't particularly good either.

Now on Mirage, Vitality also plays quite well, it's just that there are too many excellent teams on Mirage, so it's not obvious from the win rate.

Vitality banned Nuke again.

Fnatic considered it and removed Dust II.

They actually didn't want to let Mirage out.

Although Vitality's Mirage lost to Liquid, they also watched that VOD, and the rhythm of that Mirage was completely not on the same level as what they played.

Vitality's Mirage strength is still quite good.

The main reason lies in their Dust II.

They only had a win rate of about 35% on Dust II in the first half of the year. Bringing it out would definitely mean losing, so it's better to gamble on Mirage with Vitality.

At least their Mirage is at the level of a normal team.

BP officially ended, both sides warmed up quickly and started entering the Vertigo server.

The match was still in the warm-up stage. Xu Beifang put on his headphones and started taking out his Desert Eagle to practice aiming with everyone. He was having a blast when he saw someone rush to his face with a Negev, a burst of run-and-gun fire, and directly took him out.

JW: Did you fear my firepower suppression?

Nice:...

Nice: You also need money to buy that thing; it's more expensive than an AWP, just a display piece.

Negev is fine; in professional matches, "messing around" players like JW will take it out to use.

But the Negev price is over 5,000. Unless it's a crushing game, no one will deliberately buy it.

Professional matches all require economic management.

Just then, Xu Beifang saw another message appear on the screen:

Brollan: Nice, I'm your fan~

Nice: Alright, alright, playing like this, huh!

Xu Beifang saw the message from Brollan and typed back to tease him.

The "I'm your fan" meme originally came from LOL's Clearlove, and later was used by him on pasha and Olofmeister, becoming an interesting meme in the GO circle.

But before he could laugh much, he saw apEX typing in the public chat.

apEX: Fans are useless too. Before the match, Nice watched 200GB of seeds before coming to participate in the match!

Brollan:!!

KRIMZ: To be honest, I want to watch too.

JW: This young man!!

Xu Beifang turned to look at apEX, his eyes full of murderous intent!

In this joyful atmosphere, the warm-up time ended.

Vitality vs Fnatic

Map: Vertigo

T: Nice, apEX, ZywOo, shox, JackZ

CT: Brollan, KRIMZ, JW, Xizt, twist

The match officially started.

Coming to the pistol round, apEX shouted: "Buy two sets of utility. This point is still hitting A. Wait until we press to A Long, we give smoke to plant the bomb, and then force the people in the head-peek position and sniper room out of their positions, and then rely on the gun positions at A Small and A Long."

The tactic isn't complicated; it's just that the first wave of frontal pushing will have some pressure.

If they can successfully push to the A Long slope, relying on the suppression of the utility, this point is basically taken.

But the thing they worried about most happened. Fnatic, in this pistol round, directly made a gamble counter-push on the A slope.

After a round of intense numerical exchange, a 1v2 clutch was left for the armorless apEX.

The low-health apEX tried to rotate to B to plant the bomb, but before he could enter the bomb site, Fnatic, already gathered together, had already sneaked through his back path.

Fnatic won the pistol round.

"This flash is too strong." JW and leader xizt bumped fists. "It's just that Brollan is too steady. This wave could have knifed apEX."

Brollan laughed: "I was afraid of something going wrong. The distance was too far; if I was counter-killed, that would be terrible."

xizt also nodded: "It's better to be steady. Eat the bonus of the pistol round first. Don't be too aggressive; we'll just hold the guns from a long distance."

"Vitality's ECO comeback ability is very strong."

The successfully won pistol round brought them some confidence; they felt like they could operate.

"Very bold, this pistol round gambled 4A 1B and actively counter-pushed," shox said.

apEX shook his head: "The place where our tactic is most afraid was exactly what Fnatic caught."

They bought two sets of utility and were deploying them at the front point.

If they could deploy them, then everything would be easy to say, but the deployment positions weren't even reached, and they died on the way, which was a bit tricky.

But the pistol round is like this; the influence of feel and marksmanship is too great. The opponent brushed everyone out with one flashbang, and they had no room to fight back.

Being hit from both sides at an angle on the A slope is indeed too uncomfortable.

"No problem, just pure ECO to adjust the economy. ZywOo, you have more economy, you can buy a Desert Eagle to play with; others just pure ECO."

But with only one armorless Desert Eagle, they only took down one weapon in the end, and the round ended.

Hamburger looked at the lagging score, his tone slightly low: "The score has reached 0:2, the first full-buy round has started, but Vitality's economy isn't very good this round, their offensive means are slightly insufficient, let's see how they plan to handle it."

The economy wasn't very good, but apEX calculated and made a mixed-buy operation.

"Nice, you buy full armor, I'll drop you an AK47, and then you buy full utility, drop a Desert Eagle for me. Others buy full armor plus Galil and utility."

"Later, shox goes to Mid to hang alone and do the default. I'll throw a Yellow Cloth smoke at T-spawn, JackZ and I will go harass A Long, and then Nice, you have to rely on you two to find opportunities at B Site."

apEX quickly arranged the starting playstyle.

He didn't continue to push together at A Long. From the information gathered in the pistol round and the second round, Fnatic obviously also knew the importance of the A slope on this map.

Although they always teased during training that on Vertigo, the offensive side just plays 15 rounds of A Site.

But it doesn't mean B Site can't be played.

The benefits of B Site are small, but the difficulty of attacking in the second time is also small.

After taking B Site, there aren't many gun positions and covers to hide in B Site. At this time, it requires someone in Mid to cover the back and put pressure from the side.

On Vertigo, Mid cannot be used as a main direction of attack; it exists more as a part of covering the back and harassment.

This is why apEX asked shox to do the default at the start.

The countdown ended, apEX gave the A Small Yellow Cloth smoke, and then took JackZ toward the 50th Floor.

After arriving at the 50th Floor, JackZ directly gave another smoke for the slope, so the CTs couldn't counter-push.

Fnatic originally had a 3A start, just preparing to grab control of the A slope.

xizt grabbed a flashbang at the start, preparing to fight and scout with teammates.

"Don't give it yet," Brollan said. "I have no vision at A Small."

JW at A Long also added, "They also pushed smoke on the slope, might have entered that Yellow Cloth area, Brollan, be careful."

When he saw this smoke, his eyes lit up because he found this smoke was really easy to use. After pushing out, it was very uncomfortable for the CTs to get vision.

In the new map, various teams are showing their understanding.

But when you find that the opponent's means are exceptionally outstanding, the mood is slightly bad.

Their A side was dragged down, but the bald coach responsible for B defense took the initiative to the front point.

The difficulty of defending B Site on Vertigo depends on the CT's positioning.

The CT's first-time positioning will always be better than the terrorists. He arrives at the B stairs at the first moment and can directly kill the lower level of B.

Getting vision in advance, plus the advantage of high-to-low, allows the B-site CTs to gain a huge advantage in gunfights.

But if standing at the back point to defend, being rushed by the terrorists' utility, it's very uncomfortable.

KRIMZ didn't see anyone at the lower level of B Site at the first moment, so he took the initiative to rub points to the right.

Xu Beifang and ZywOo pushed forward quietly at the lower level of B Site. They didn't move forward to grab opportunities at the first moment.

Instead, they waited quietly for a while before Xu Beifang searched over one position at a time.

"KRIMZ has arrived at the B-site stairs to hold the gun. This wave Nice took the initiative to search the point, how about this gunfight?"

"Northern Brother directly pre-aimed this position, KRIMZ didn't even open fire and was directly killed!"

B Site got the first kill, Xu Beifang took ZywOo to speed up immediately. The opponent pressed to the front point, and no one came to trade after the engagement.

Then the second person must be very far away. Even if they rushed over, they would only be near the electric box.

"I can give you guys a speed flash for B Site, say the word!" shox saw B Site get a kill and immediately grabbed a flashbang, preparing to cooperate with teammates.

"Give it!"

A flashbang went down, and Xu Beifang instantly saw a CT covering his eyes at the right corner.

"Da da da~"

【twist+shox flashbang used FAMAS headshot kill ZywOo】

【Nice+shox flashbang used AK47 headshot kill twist】

"The B-site attack is still continuing, shox's flashbang is very good, but twist is experienced, opening fire in advance and trading ZywOo while blinded."

"On the other side, A Site is also engaging. apEX wants to keep the A-site retake, exposed too much information and was directly killed through the smoke by Brollan. In this way, the numbers became 3v3 again."

"Northern Brother pushed an electric box smoke, xizt has seized the opportunity to arrive near the electric box, JackZ rushed over with the bomb, shox is still covering the back in Mid."

xizt saw JW retake in place and said quickly in the voice comms: "Don't rush, wait for Brollan to sneak around from the back. After he arrives, I will directly give fire to the dead point, and then give a flash, and we will push forward together."

"B Site bomb defense has no positioning, being hit from two angles is very uncomfortable. This point has a chance."

Brollan successfully fought back the numbers, and they felt the hope of retaking was quite large.

"Frontal confirmed two, both near the jump platform." After JackZ planted the bomb, he swayed at the bomb site and successfully confirmed the opponent's information.

Xu Beifang looked at the mini-map, roughly calculated Brollan's position, and immediately said: "shox, you have to be fast. We need you to move first, otherwise, if the lower level of B arrives, this wave will be hard to play."

"I'm sneaking forward," shox replied quickly.

Before, he wasn't sure of the opponent's specific information, so he didn't dare to sneak too fast in Mid.

If he died, his teammates would have to rely purely on marksmanship to win.

"They are near the electric box, right? I'll burn an electric box fire immediately to force them out, you guys prepare to hold the guns!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the utility and directly took action.

The electric box smoke thrown by the terrorists had dissipated, and xizt and JW were ready to start at the front.

But just as they adjusted their posture, a fire bounced over from the jump platform and fell directly under their feet.

In an instant, their plan was completely disrupted. Although they had smoke grenades, there was no room for operation after extinguishing the fire.

JW considered briefly and peeked directly to the right.

But pulling out horizontally, he saw two terrorists holding the angle left and right.

"Da da da!"

【Nice used AK47 kill JW】

【JackZ used Galil kill xizt】

"Fnatic is still waiting for the back path to sneak up, but Vitality has already taken the initiative. This fire is too fatal; it directly disrupted the CT's counter-push plan, and the two guys at the electric box were instantly melted."

"The frontal battlefield completely collapsed. Brollan has arrived at the B stairs, AUG opened fire and swept, can he still operate? There is a defuse kit at the electric box."

"But Northern Brother pulled out and directly gave one shot, not giving any chance at all!"

Hamburger said: "This is Northern Brother's AK. You give him an AK, and he returns you a world. This wave is again directly flattened from the front."

Watching Vitality take the first point.

Brollan scratched his head and blamed himself: "My problem, I was too slow this wave."

Just got two points, and was directly beaten back by Vitality in a full-buy round. The blow to morale was not small.

And because they didn't get much economic bonus, their subsequent weapon configuration wouldn't be very good.

JW shook his head: "At that position, you couldn't be fast."

xizt saw the core problem: "What's the situation with you guys at B Site? How did you lose two people?"

KRIMZ said helplessly: "I was standing in a very unconventional position and was instantly killed by him pulling out. I was already prepared to turn around to avoid the flash."

JW laughed: "You're also quite funny. Don't you know Nice's playstyle? He doesn't like to play by common sense, and his offensive actions are all very simple."

KRIMZ added: "But it is indeed accurate. I didn't even open fire and was instantly killed."

To be precise, he didn't even stabilize his counter-strafing.

He was still holding the angle and moving crab-style to the right, and Nice pulled out directly and killed him with one shot, without even time to react.

xizt could understand this. Defending B Site on Vertigo is not easy, and the difficulty of different positions at different times is great.

Their A side didn't get a kill at the first moment, so the bald coach at B Site could only stand at the front point more actively. In the end, it was because the A side was restricted too tightly.

After losing the first full-buy round, the economy was quite poor.

xizt considered it and said: "Let's actively ECO this point, buy some armor-less Desert Eagles to play with. Next point, JW will directly take out the AWP."

With an AWP, JW should be better.

Although it was a bit late, I still tried my best to reach 10,000 words. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
