Chapter 299: A bomb site turret, I'm not joking!

"Liquid finally won their first pistol round; this is definitely good news for them."

"After all, this is the first time they have led in the score since the finals, which can allow them to adjust their mindset more smoothly to face the upcoming match."

"Vitality didn't choose to adjust their economy and directly went for a force buy."

"Whoa! apEX used a scout to headshot stewie2K at the start; could it be that you are also a Scout King, apEX?"

"However, the kill in mid doesn't affect the overall situation. Liquid caught a timing at the second stage, unfolding a B-site speed rush, and the two CTs on B-site had no way to deal with the utility pressure."

"......"

The force buy was crushed by Liquid relying on their economic advantage, and they had no choice but to perform an eco round to save money. If they were stubborn and continued to force buy, then the chat content from before would really have become 'opening champagne in the middle of the game.'

The eco round didn't produce any miracles.

3:0

The match quickly came to the long gun round.

Coming to the first long gun round, Xu Beifang's position was closer to mid, so the rhythm of A-Long couldn't be led by him.

"JackZ, you go grab A-Long; Beifang, you cover JackZ. We still have to take control of A-Long."

This round was full armor and full utility, but the team didn't have a sniper rifle for suppression. Once A-Long was lost too early, the defensive difficulty on A-Platform would be very great.

"Okay, no problem. Do I need to go directly into B Site later?" Xu Beifang asked apEX about the defensive line of thought.

When on the defensive side, he was a brick for the team; wherever it was lacking, he would be moved there.

apEX considered it: "You help shox hold for a wave, and then go toward the Sand Pit."

This point didn't have a sniper rifle, so the pressure in mid was very great. One person doing actions in mid, Liquid might give a flashbang, and they wouldn't be able to handle it.

But two people could still look out for each other.

Xu Beifang nodded and followed shox's footsteps, coming to the B-site Dog Hole at the start to hold B-Tunnel.

Confirming that Liquid didn't have the idea of rushing B-Tunnel at the first timing, he helped give a smoke grenade before moving toward the Sand Pit direction.

"A-Small hasn't gone up yet; the opponent didn't even give an Xbox smoke, they should be slowly controlling the map."

Just after he finished speaking, he saw a fire thrown at the near point of the Mid-Doors, followed by a flashbang, forcing Xu Beifang to give up his gun position.

……

"Liquid's map control is orderly, and the pressure is very sufficient step by step. They know that Vitality likely won't buy an unarmored sniper this point, so the speed of map control in mid is relatively fast overall."

"At the second timing, Vitality gave a Mid-Doors smoke and chose to perform a double-boost behind the Mid-Doors smoke." Wanjiqi said, "This is a very old routine play, a small coordination technique used by people since the 1.6 era."

"But now two people have already gone up to A-Small; can they really steal a kill this wave?"

A-Small unfolded a utility confrontation, and Zywoo on A-Platform also quickly gave utility to perform a suppression.

stewie2K saw that the first wave was hard to go up, so he moved back, thinking about giving his teammates a late-point instant-flash, letting his teammates take a look.

He thought Twistzz was holding the Sand Pit, and the near point of Mid-Doors was safe.

Xu Beifang saw stewie2K's figure on A-Small and immediately pulled the trigger to fire.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

【Nice used AUG headshot to kill stewie2K】

The moment he got the kill, Xu Beifang wanted to jump down to release the double-boost.

But the thing they were worried about still happened.

Gunshots rang out from behind the Mid-Doors smoke, and apEX, who was under Xu Beifang's feet, was directly mixed-killed.

Xu Beifang fell from the air and followed in apEX's footsteps.

【Twistzz used SG553 to kill apEX】

【Twistzz used SG553 to kill Nice】

"Xiao Xu got the first kill again, but they didn't expect that there was still one hidden behind the Mid-Doors smoke. They double-boosted and fired to kill stewie2K, but also exposed their specific position. This wave was directly mixed-killed by Twistzz in a spray."

"This wave of personnel exchange is too disadvantageous." Wanjiqi shook his head.

……

"One more on A-Small, one at the near point of Mid-Doors, and one on B-Tunnel." After Xu Beifang was killed, he could only quickly summarize the information obtained in various ways and pass it to his teammates.

This wave they really didn't expect Twistzz to dare to stand behind the Mid-Doors smoke.

He fired and was caught by Twistzz, and instantly two people were melted by a spray.

Double-boosting behind Mid-Doors smoke to watch A-Small is a relatively niche technique, the reason being that it is quite unconventional.

Once information is exposed, if the opponent's reaction is fast enough, they will find it hard to escape.

But CSGO confrontations are sometimes like this; if you want to gain an advantage in the early stage, unless the opponent makes a mistake, you have to actively use some relatively dangerous playstyles to fight for the team.

This point actually succeeded at the start.

It was just that Twistzz forcefully fought the situation back.

Now that both of them were dead, all control and information in mid were lost.

Liquid also directly put pressure on them, throwing a Mid-Doors CT-spawn smoke, cutting off their information on A and B points.

shox instantly became isolated and helpless.

He quickly understood the information Xu Beifang gave in his mind, and then said in the voice chat: "I'm taking the initiative to go out and find an opportunity. If I don't get a kill this wave, you guys just save your guns."

A 3-on-4 clutch.

Once Liquid unfolds a mid-to-B split, shox alone can't play.

There are always people on the internet saying he is just a 'rat,' but shox knows when to be a rat and when he must actively go find people.

He came to the near point of B-Tunnel and directly threw a smoke grenade toward B-Tunnel.

Throwing smoke wasn't to defend, but to attack.

Speaking of which, this set of actions was learned from Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang, in many aggressive push scenarios, would use supplementary smoke or fire to temporarily persuade the opponent to retreat, and then he would catch the timing and silently touch out.

A smoke grenade was given, he held down the mute key, and started to actively walk toward the B2-level direction.

Xu Beifang and apEX had already been killed, and now they could only hope for shox's unconventional success.

shox held his breath and slowly walked forward from the smoke grenade.

This action was very bold and also very dangerous.

But the moment he touched out of the smoke grenade, he wasn't instantly killed, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Because he understood that this wave of forward pushing had already succeeded halfway.

However, without getting specific gains, this unconventional move wasn't finished yet.

shox carefully continued to walk forward, and soon got the vision of B2-level. Two people on B2-level were holding utility, and even the T at the far point was still jumping!

"shox touched out from the B-Tunnel smoke; Liquid happened to be bomb-rushing, they all thought B-Tunnel was safe, but shox caught a very remarkable timing!"

Wanjiqi shouted with excitement: "Not a single person is holding B-Tunnel directly, so this B2-level will be completely out of control!"

"shox killed one, the nitr0 at the back point was also beaten to low health; he still wanted to operate, but was directly held and killed!"

"shox's top-tier forward push directly fought the personnel count back!"

【shox!!!】

【That world's number one lurker is back!】

【This rat move is very critical】

【How dare he touch out of this smoke】

This wave of shox's decision-making was very bold; he directly punched the core of Liquid's mid-term tactics, killing everyone who was pulling and stretching during the bomb rush.

Twistzz and Elige looked at the kill in the upper right corner and were instantly a bit stunned.

Originally this was a 4-on-3 clutch; they only needed to operate well to take B Site and take this point.

But the mid-to-B split had just started, and the teammates on B2-level were already dead; what is this supposed to be!

Twistzz added a mid-CT-spawn smoke and then followed Elige to walk toward B2-level.

He was very detailed, holding the mid-CT-spawn smoke the whole time while moving, guarding against someone directly rushing out to find trouble for him.

But the enemy rushing out wasn't seen, but a spray of AUG bullets hit his body through the smoke grenade.

【Zywoo used AUG to kill Twistzz through smoke】

"Yeah!!!!"

The scene was full of cheers; everyone was shocked by Zywoo's sudden spray through the smoke.

They saw Twistzz hadn't exposed any information, and was even walking silently the whole time, but Zywoo acted as if there were boxes in his screen, directly spraying and taking Twistzz away.

Twistzz on the player bench directly did a 'shrug.'

He completely didn't understand why this wave happened.

You Zywoo aren't a Dane either!

The remaining Elige was even more dumbfounded; he finally managed to perform an excellent breakthrough, even dealing with the opponent's big brother.

As a result, Vitality still operated and killed them all.

Now the bomb was dropped on B2-level, and Elige could only take the initiative to find it and operate.

But just as he entered B2-level, he was instantly held and killed by two lines of fire!

【JackZ used AUG to kill Elige】

"Beautiful!!" Xu Beifang raised his right fist and shouted loudly.

This round was shadowed by Elige, leading to dying in the personnel exchange at the start, not contributing much; when cheering, he definitely had to be powerful.

And I have to say, the teammates' operation this wave was indeed powerful.

"This 3-on-4 clutch can be put into a textbook." Xu Beifang praised.

apEX shouted a few times, also excitedly bumping fists with the teammates beside him: "You guys played an excellent mid-term clutch, this wave shox is great!"

In this clutch, shox's forward push and active advancement almost directly brought the clutch to life.

"Deserving of being a clutch master!" Xu Beifang smiled toward shox's direction, "The audience is all shouting for your kill."

shox raised his eyebrows and also smiled proudly.

For him, this kind of performance was rare and relied on a flash of inspiration at certain times.

But having finally produced a highlight, he was naturally happy.

After all, he wasn't a genius player at the level of Xu Beifang and Zywoo, who could maintain excellent performance in matches.

"Let's go, let's go, let's tie the score first!" apEX took advantage of the heated atmosphere to start twisting the rope.

The smooth taking of the first long gun round allowed Vitality to maintain a good economy, and Xu Beifang was able to get an SG553 to use because of it.

……

The fifth round started.

His position was good, and he was directly arranged to fight on A-Long.

However, this point Liquid chose a B-site speed rush at the first timing.

It is worth mentioning that Liquid also used Xu Beifang's B-door smoke from the spawn point in this round.

Although shox and JackZ fought a 2-for-2 at the first timing, Xu Beifang and Zywoo were still on A-Long at this time.

A 3-on-3 retake, with Vitality's personality, there was no reason not to operate.

But losing control of B Site too early in the early stage led to Liquid still having a lot of utility in their hands.

Xu Beifang's trio retook to the Sand Pit and were delayed too much time by Liquid's utility.

Finally, with 15 seconds left on the C4, they chose to force a wave, but only traded one.

Liquid chased back a point, and the confrontation in this round seemed to let Liquid find some feel.

In the next few rounds, except for nitr0 as the IGL whose gunplay was still not online, the other four seemed to have found back their title of 'Aimbot Team.'

Dust 2 is the purest gunplay map among all active maps; on this map, the role of gunplay is much greater than on other maps.

Liquid, having found their state, also made them very troubled.

Xu Beifang could fight back and forth with the T's grabbing A-Long, and even most of the time he could get an advantage.

But the problem was, as the score kept chasing, the economic collapse of the defensive side was faster.

CSGO's economic system has always been the core gameplay.

Why was AVANGAR able to leap from an unknown small team to a true top-tier team in one year?

It was because Jame understood the economic system and used the most rational approach to apply the economy to the appropriate rounds.

You can say their playstyle isn't hot-blooded or passionate.

But you can't say their playstyle isn't strong.

Vitality is now encountering this problem.

The CT economy is always more expensive, when the defensive side and the attacking side are constantly chasing points and pulling.

The defensive side's economy will definitely collapse earlier.

They played a few rounds, and the average economy was only about 3000, so they could only half-buy to adjust.

This led to playing and playing, Vitality not only failed to tie the score, but the score gap was directly pulled open.

During a retake and attack on A-Platform, the economy collapsed again.

The score also came to 3:7.

Head coach XTQZZZ hurriedly called a timeout.

"Calm down, boys."

"These few rounds were actually played quite well, it's just that the handling in the clutch was a bit impatient."

He didn't blame the players too much for their poor performance in these few rounds, but instead gave them some encouragement.

"These few rounds, I think you guys played too restrained."

"Perhaps the economy has always been bad, making them play a bit timidly, but the overall defensive rhythm has become more chaotic."

"On the previous map, we were because the state was excellent, and we were always on top, so we could leisurely unfold default attacks, but the situation now is different, so we have to change our line of thought."

"Keep about two thousand dollars this round, you guys just play casually, for the next long gun round, find a way to let Nice go out to get information and fight, you have to let Nice wander around the map."

"......"

Wanjiqi in the 6657 stream room looked at the match screen and sighed.

"Liquid's frontal offensive in these few rounds is too strong, plus Vitality has never had much money, so it's very uncomfortable to play."

"Liquid's utility is quite abstract, sometimes even specifically flashing their own people, but overall it still put great pressure on Vitality."

"Xiao Xu can only look at the small advertisements on the telephone pole on A-Long every round."

"Now it depends on whether Vitality can find their rhythm back in the long gun round after the timeout."

【This lack of money is very uncomfortable】

【In the previous long gun round, Zywoo just took out a sniper rifle, and B Site was broken, later Zywoo killed three while saving the gun but didn't save it】

【The handling of several long gun rounds is too poor, Liquid caught the rhythm】

【Olofmeister in the arena shook the time machine, now it's 2018. Vitality】

【Don't, the best data now is actually JackZ】

【No way, Xiao Xu can't see anyone, he's either on the way to save the gun or on the way to retake】

……

After the timeout ended, the 11th round started.

apEX gave instructions: "The economy isn't very good, we'll just play on A-Small and Mid, trade as many as we can, Zywoo you buy a P250 is enough, next round I want you to take out a big sniper to use."

Zywoo nodded: "No problem."

He also understood that the team was under great pressure in frontal gunfights, and taking out a big sniper could play a big role.

The countdown ended, and everyone directly unfolded.

JackZ, who was in the first position, turned into a 'cushion brother,' came under A-Small, and boosted Xu Beifang and the other three up.

The three of them quickly came to A-Small, and Xu Beifang directly rushed forward to grab a position.

Sometimes an opportunity with a positional advantage can gain them a personnel advantage.

Xu Beifang carried a half-armor Desert Eagle, directly pushed forward with big steps, and after coming to the A-Small corner, actively peeked to look at mid.

Empty...

If Liquid rushed A-Small this wave, they could catch an opportunity to kill one... Xu Beifang thought it was a pity.

Just then, Xu Beifang heard the sound of A-Long frantically exploding flashes.

Zywoo also said: "Heard two footsteps on A-Long, there are quite a lot of people on A-Long on the other side."

Xu Beifang's heart sank.

Liquid knew their economy wasn't good, so they directly wanted to push from A-Long.

This was an open scheme, but they didn't seem to have any way.

Although this was just a half-buy round, even if they didn't win, it wasn't a big deal.

But Xu Beifang only thought about trying his best to operate.

"I'm going to the bomb site, the possibility of the opponent pushing from A-Long is very high, I'll try to operate on the bomb site for a while."

Listening to Xu Beifang's words, apEX also said: "I'll touch forward from A-Small, trying to catch a timing."

Zywoo stayed on A-Small and didn't move much.

apEX pushed forward, he could help hold B1-level, avoiding apEX being back-stabbed.

A-Long opponent pushed over, he could also form a simple crossfire with Xu Beifang on A-Small, helping to pull and stretch.

Xu Beifang quickly came to the bomb site's second box; the opponent took control of A-Long too early, so going to hold the first gun position to gamble wasn't very appropriate.

Just then, he heard information from shox in the voice chat: "B2-level is empty, the opponent's main force should all be concentrated on A-Long!"

Just as the words fell, Xu Beifang, who was holding the crossing point, saw a head appear beside the crosshair.

Crosshair fine-tuned.

"Bang!"

【Nice used Desert Eagle headshot to kill nitr0】

"Liquid took control of A-Long, but didn't rush to bomb-rush, but prepared to play a silent contact?"

Wanjiqi frowned while watching, the silent contact playstyle is a very strong variable playstyle.

On Dust 2, Big's simplest tactic is an A-Long silent contact.

Generally, they take control of A-Long, won't unfold a bomb rush, but will stick to the left wall of A-Long, slowly push forward to the near point of CT-spawn, then throw two smoke grenades, coordinate with flashbangs to directly unfold.

The defensive side, unless actively coming out to scout, won't be able to react.

The T can very easily push to the vicinity of the slope, producing substantial pressure on the defensive side.

But Liquid's silent contact was played a bit strangely.

They let nitr0 search at the front point alone, while the other members kept a certain distance, in a posture of being ready to cover at any time.

But nitr0's position control wasn't very good; when searching the blue car, he leaked it to Xu Beifang.

"Xiao Xu stood at the second box and caught a side angle, successfully getting the first kill."

"But apEX was also held and killed by Twistzz who was covering outside A-Door; both sides fought a 1-for-1."

"However, there are still 3 Ts pushing forward on the A-Long front, and Xiao Xu is the only one defending the platform; his operation difficulty is very great."

Vitality's economy wasn't good, leading to Xu Beifang on the bomb site only having a half-armor Desert Eagle to use, not even a flashbang.

Once Liquid's utility is spread out and flashbangs cover down, then basically it can't be played.

Xu Beifang naturally understood this truth.

After seeing nitr0 searching the blue car silently, he knew what Liquid's tactic was roughly.

This is experience; when your match count reaches a certain amount, you can always find similar models in your brain for the opponent's actions.

He also understood very well that once the CT-spawn smoke is spread and the bomb site fire is given.

He wouldn't even be able to stand in the second box position.

If he had a smoke grenade in his hand, he could go to the vicinity of the ninja position to throw a 'S1mple smoke' to play a one-way effect.

But this round he had no utility in his hand, so he could only rely on operation.

After getting the first kill, he immediately pulled wide to the left to acquire vision.

This first glance saw a T on the small platform on the left side of A-Long, holding a piece of utility, seemingly preparing to bomb-rush.

(Red arrow position)

Xu Beifang fired at him.

"Bang!"

HP-42

Twistzz intended to throw a bomb site fire to force Xu Beifang's gun position back.

Then Elige and NAF gave two smoke grenades, and they directly pushed forward to the bomb site.

But Xu Beifang didn't talk about martial arts, rushing out with a Desert Eagle, scaring Twistzz into hurriedly hiding behind cover.

Xu Beifang shot Twistzz once and immediately repeeked to find an opportunity again.

But he didn't see Twistzz at the first glance, so he decisively moved to the left again to get the vision of the right side of A-Long.

"Xiao Xu shot Twistzz once, but didn't kill him; now 3 Ts are still alive on A-Long, and he is under great pressure alone in the front!"

"However, Zywoo here used an unarmored P250, coordinating with shox to kill Twistzz; this wave as long as Xiao Xu can drag it out, and the teammates retake in place, they really have a chance to operate." Wanjiqi was a bit worried, but also a bit expectant, "But will Liquid really let Xiao Xu operate?"

Xu Beifang moved to the left side of the bomb site and successfully saw NAF who had exposed his head; the Desert Eagle fired a shot at him.

NiKo's Desert Eagle insight actually had a great influence on Xu Beifang.

Before, his Desert Eagle basically only relied on aiming to hit, and it wasn't much different from a single-shot AK47.

But NiKo's use of the Desert Eagle was much smarter than his.

"Bang!"

The bullet flew out from A-Platform, hitting NAF's head directly with one shot.

【Nice used Desert Eagle headshot to kill NAF】

"Xiao Xu is still repeeking, catching the opportunity and killing another one! Xiao Xu has started again!!"

"He stood on the bomb site and used a Desert Eagle to kill two in a row; the personnel count of both sides has reached 4-on-2, and Vitality is instead in a personnel advantage."

"Liquid is already a bit anxious, giving a bomb site fire wanting to force Xiao Xu back."

"But Xiao Xu took advantage of the moment the bomb site fire unfolded and peeked out again to catch a timing!"

The audience saw this action, and their hearts couldn't help but hang up. But recalling the shock that the ID 'Nice' brought them today, their eyes had some expectation.

"Desert Eagle kills another one!!! Liquid's front was completely held by this Desert Eagle, and the final Elige was also distracted by JackZ; Xiao Xu caught the opportunity, from top to bottom!"

"The Desert Eagle headshot the last one too!"

Accompanied by the final headshot sound was the cheers that exploded in the arena. Xu Beifang stood up under the gaze of the audience, his hands clasped together, as if holding a pistol.

He looked at the cheering audience with a smile on his face, made a firing action toward that direction, and fired four shots rhythmically.

The meaning was self-evident; it was the Desert Eagle four-kill just now.

The audience was also very willing to interact; the moment Xu Beifang fired, a large area of the stands leaned back against their chair backs.

The camera filmed down, as if Xu Beifang had an invisible gun in his hand, knocking down this area of the audience.

Wanjiqi shouted excitedly in the stream room: "There's nothing left to say, this man has come again, pure personal ability suppression."

"He just stood on the bomb site, and the Desert Eagle in his hand was like a mobile turret!"

"This wave apEX's suggestion to Xiao Xu was to defend A Site alone, and he did it!!"

【This pre-aim is too silky】

【God damn apEX's suggestion to Xiao Xu】

【A-site a turret, I'm not joking!!】

【This celebration action is cool】

【Do you understand what is called high-spirited, spring breeze proud horse hoof speed!!】

【Waiting for Xiao Xu's 'one day looking at all the flowers in Chang'an'!】

……

The audience in the arena was incredibly excited.

At home, NiKo looked at the wonderful kill replay on the screen, and goosebumps all over his body rose.

"How did this kid's Desert Eagle improve so much?"

He and Xu Beifang were very good friends, and he knew Xu Beifang was a training maniac.

But his impression of Xu Beifang's Desert Eagle wasn't very good, because Xu Beifang purely relied on positioning to hit, and for the various techniques of the Desert Eagle, he had absolutely none.

But in this highlight moment.

Whether it was cutting the knife after firing to use a small acceleration, or crouching immediately after firing to hold the headshot line, etc., details.

Although Liquid gave opportunities, Xu Beifang really operated to the extreme within a limited range.

Looking at Xu Beifang standing up on camera to use his hand as a Desert Eagle to interact with the audience.

NiKo couldn't help but say: "How did I not think of this? This is too cool... he even thought about changing the magazine."

As a top-tier Desert Eagle player, watching Xu Beifang's operation.

He wanted to use one sentence to express his mood: "V me 50, let me play this wave!"

……

Entering the stage of growing hair all over again... ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
