Chapter 301: The obsession with holding the cup with one hand!

The CSGO match point is a great design.

Every point entering the match point, the numbers in the middle of the screen remind the players of both sides that the match is not far from ending.

The team that gets the match point in advance has a stirred mood, and their thoughts will relax.

While the trailing team will have greater pressure in their hearts.

Facing this kind of pressure, the situation shown by different teams will also be different.

Some teams will clench their teeth, hold their last breath, and work hard until the last moment of the match.

Some teams will be sweating, already thinking of the scene of failure.

In this confrontation on Map 3, Vitality was clearly the former.

Map 3 was first given a match point by Liquid, and even in the situation where their own economy exploded, they still planned very rationally, making the most reasonable choice under the current situation.

And at this critical moment, as the team's star player, Xu Beifang didn't live up to everyone's expectations.

He withstood the pressure and used an AK47 to hand-tear Liquid's two big snipers.

As a breakthrough player, he perfectly completed the task given by the team in a desperate situation.

After that critical round, Vitality successfully chased the score into overtime.

After entering overtime, they also went all out and successfully killed the match.

The moment the match ended, Xu Beifang excitedly smashed his headset onto the keyboard.

Various sounds rang out together at this moment.

The sound of the headset hitting the keyboard, the sound of Vitality members shouting on the player bench, the sound of the English-language casters casting passionately in the arena, and the sound of the audience in the stands waving cheering sticks and cheering with all their might.

These sounds intertwined, huge waves of sound pulled at countless people's heartstrings, and also made their emotions fluctuate.

Three hours of confrontation made everyone's emotions very full, and the live audience was very active.

This final today was indeed worth the ticket price.

Even Liquid fans, after the match ended, were also sitting in their seats applauding this match.

Compared to the restraint of Liquid fans, Vitality fans and passerby audience emotions were relatively excited.

Watching Vitality members take off their headsets and shout on the player bench, they also constantly waved cheering sticks and made sounds to respond.

The air column machine beside the stage sprayed white air waves, shining on Vitality's players on the stage, making them look even more spirited.

"I was really fierce in the final overtime!" JackZ shouted excitedly after taking off his headset.

Xu Beifang hugged JackZ and praised: "Indeed fierce, Liquid estimated that they were stunned in the last few points, B Site was constantly broken!"

He wouldn't attribute all the credit for the victory to himself; CSGO has always been a team game.

Personal ability has a large proportion in the confrontation, but if you don't meet a group of excellent teams, it will only become a 'dean' (carry).

And to be honest, JackZ's state in the final overtime was truly excellent, counting as the player who finalized the finals.

You know, he was mainly a support-type role in the match.

He always cooperated with Xu Beifang's needs at the first timing, whether it was needing a flash in the front, or needing JackZ to cooperate with what playstyle he was playing, he could respond at the first timing.

Even if because of the limitation of the situation, he couldn't do it, he could also respond at the first timing, so that Xu Beifang could make adjustments.

Even if 100 Dankings were added together, they couldn't give Xu Beifang this kind of smooth feeling.

If Zywoo's existence was the reason Xu Beifang dared to push forward boldly, then JackZ was the important backup that allowed him to play better.

Although his overall firepower wasn't outstanding, in the Vitality team, the ones responsible for firepower were Xu Beifang and Zywoo, and JackZ, as a support-type rifleman, was already very good.

Xu Beifang thought that even if Twistzz was swapped over, he might not necessarily let him play so comfortably.

Hearing this, JackZ's face also showed a smile.

The position he once played was the team's breakthrough, now changing positions and playstyles for the team, data declined, and his heart would also have some gaps.

But hearing the teammate's recognition, he felt that the heartbreak and irritability encountered in those changes slipped away like smoke.

After Xu Beifang and JackZ hugged, they also successively high-fived other teammates.

"We lifted the second championship together." After Zywoo hugged Xu Beifang, he showed what is the world's number one upper gum user.

"I said, we will win many championships together." Xu Beifang put his arm around Zywoo's shoulder and pointed to the stands, "Look over there, this scenery is too beautiful."

Zywoo looked in the direction Xu Beifang pointed; that was the stands area.

After the match ended, the audience all raised their phones, wanting to record this beautiful moment.

Those constantly filming lenses were like blinking little stars, presenting a different kind of beauty.

The photographer following behind filmed from behind; two young people with arms around shoulders, looking at the starry sky in the distance, the whole atmosphere was full of expectations for the future.

……

Room 6657, Wanjiqi shouted excitedly in the stream room: "The match has ended! No revenge drama, no next map, Xiao Xu used his excellent performance to get the possibility of overtime

Dust 2 is a classic old map, but its biggest problem is that it's too classic, and the tactics are basically fully developed.

Everyone now understands that this map is mainly about gunplay, and the tactical focus isn't great.

And in this gunplay map, their state isn't bad, so they must be confident at this time.

"Indeed, I feel like I've really found the rhythm today." shox touched his chin and fell into a response; if he remembered correctly, when he was at Titan, he also had this feeling.

After entering the match, he felt like everything was under control, and even if he encountered any problems, everyone could solve them quickly, which was great.

apEX wasn't such a rigid person either; hearing his teammates were full of passion, he also shouted: "Then let us together, take this Dust 2 directly!"

Xu Beifang opened his eyes, and what entered his eyes was that dazzling trophy, rubbing his hands: "Let's go, let's go, get off work early today, I'll treat you after we finish!"

Zywoo's eyes lit up instantly.

The intermission ended, and both sides re-entered the confrontation.

Map: Dust 2.

This was the map Liquid chose, and Vitality didn't be stubborn, steadily choosing the defensive side to start.

On this map, whether it's Vitality or the average win rate of top-tier teams, the defensive side is higher, and they didn't want to do any fancy tricks; steady and steady was enough.

The pistol round started, and as the defensive side, apEX only arranged a basic standing position.

Knowing that Liquid especially liked to play A-Small, he placed the defensive focus on A-Small and Mid, wanting to disrupt Liquid's early tactical deployment through advance arrangement.

And A-Long was left to Xu Beifang alone to defend.

"Liquid as the attacking side chose a 3-person utility set; this utility amount is quite sincere." Wanjiqi started casting, "At the start, Liquid gave an Xbox smoke, blurring Vitality's vision, and then the main force came to A-Long, intending to challenge Xiao Xu."

"But the scene of Xiao Xu getting 10 kills in the Map 1 pistol round is still fresh in our memory; can they really succeed?"

Xu Beifang got control of A-Long at the first timing; he stood at the A-Long corner and held A-Door directly.

His teammates held A-Small, letting him only worry about the front for the time being.

"No one in mid, both sides pay attention."

Zywoo was boosted by apEX to A-Small at the start, saw the opponent give an Xbox smoke, but there was no movement for a long time, so he actively probed outside, but didn't see anyone.

No one in mid, so the opponent must be planning a one-wave rush.

Xu Beifang increased his vigilance, but in the next second, a flashbang exploded in his face; he immediately pulled the trigger and slipped away, but a headshot sound came to his ears.

【Nice+nitr0 flashbang used USP headshot to kill Elige】

【stewie2K used P250 headshot to kill Nice】

"Liquid's flashbang is coming; Xiao Xu's pre-aim was done very well, trading one while blinded, but was also instantly killed by the follow-up."

"A 1-for-1 trade on A-Long, but Xiao Xu also got a lot of information; he knows there are at least two people on A-Long, this wave of personnel exchange is still very valuable."

Time was still very early, and apEX also returned to A-Platform at the second timing, standing in A-Small with Zywoo.

After Xu Beifang was killed, apEX chose to give up mid and made a gamble-point play.

apEX thought that after Liquid exchanged personnel on A-Long, they would think they would rotate back quickly, so they might rotate to attack.

Then this double A-Small might be able to gain an advantage.

shox on B Site did a local command; he let JackZ stand with him at B Site's sniper position.

If Liquid performs a bomb rush on B Site later, he will stand up first to fight, helping JackZ win the timing, and then let JackZ output.

Xu Beifang's evaluation of this is—this is very shox!

Liquid got a kill on A-Long, and the one killed was the ID they feared most, so they instantly became confident.

Moreover, this distribution of three people's utility was originally prepared to perform a bomb rush on A-Long.

They had no reason to rotate and play some fancy tricks.

"apEX is in position on A-Small, coordinating with a flashbang to directly anti-flash mid, wanting to catch the T's rotation timing."

Wanjiqi said: "But Liquid had no intention of rotating at all; they had already prepared utility on A-Long, and nitr0 gave an A-Small cut-off fire from A-Long! This fire is top-tier!"

"He directly cut off the connection between Zywoo and apEX, and A-Long frontally gave an A-Small platform smoke, starting to charge toward the bomb site!"

apEX on A-Small was cut off by the fire, and various utility on A-Long exploded; he immediately shouted: "This wave is hitting A, everyone can rush to A."

He stood at the A-Small corner, actively peeking out wanting to hold a shot, scouting information.

But he only saw one person sliding out, and with a 'bang', apEX was instantly headshot.

【stewie2K used P250 headshot to kill apEX】

"apEX was instantly killed, A bomb site instantly fell, and Twistzz still has an A-Small smoke in his hand, directly blurring the vision of A-Small, the bomb is planted, this pistol round is very hard for Vitality to handle!"

apEX is just like this, making people love and hate him.

His movement makes fans never know if the next second is a surprise or a scare.

If he didn't die this wave, if he died, the personnel would fall into a disadvantage, and the frontal retake could only be solved by gunfighting.

Liquid here also deserved to win, knowing the Frenchmen's pistols were very powerful, so they didn't come out to gunfight at all.

Zywoo and the others saw that they really couldn't find a flaw, so they could only take the initiative, but just as they made contact, they ate Liquid's flashbang.

Liquid's pistol round directly maxed out the effect of their three-person utility set.

Finally, in a somewhat intense gunfight on A Site, Liquid finally got their first pistol round.

Liquid fans under the stage, looking at their home team winning the pistol round and taking the lead, had an urge to cry.

It was too hard!

……

Not in good state, only this much today... ===== CHAPTER 299 =====

Elige nodded. In the first few months of this year, their entire Liquid team was in a similar state.

They would instantly kill anyone they saw, and even when shot in the back, they would turn around and counter-kill the opponent; it was quite exaggerated.

As long as someone appeared in their field of vision, he could kill them; that was how confident they were.

Elige originally wanted to pull Xu Beifang aside to say a few more words, but noticing the Vitality members looking toward the center of the stage, he said: "Go lift the trophy with your teammates; we'll get together offline when we have time in the next two days."

Elige's personality is relatively introverted and childish, and he doesn't have many friends in the circle.

Xu Beifang's personality is easygoing and friendly, and many people are willing to play with him, Elige included.

And because Xu Beifang previously took the initiative to ask him about aiming techniques, the two of them would occasionally keep in touch, though the content was mainly about game-related questions.

He asked Xu Beifang to meet up offline mainly because he wanted to ask Xu Beifang for advice on how to adjust his emotions.

After Xu Beifang bid farewell to Ji Ge, he caught up with the main group and walked to the center of the stage together.

After the match ended, the lights in the arena were turned to the maximum. Under the direct light of the dome lamps, the trophy for the IEM Sydney champion was placed on the trophy stand.

Dazzling and eye-catching!

Xu Beifang's home actually already had two championship trophies; at this moment, he wouldn't normally be as excited as he was the first time.

But standing next to the trophy stand with the team, the audience in the stands all raised their phones, as if they were winking at him, and the rustling sounds grew louder; everyone was building up momentum, everyone was expectant.

Even the lowered voices of the audience were enough to make Xu Beifang feel the ground beneath his feet vibrate, as if an invisible force was rushing from the soles of his feet straight to his crown, leaving his whole body feeling a bit numb.

But he really loved this feeling!

"Who's going to lift the trophy first?"

"Beifang, you try the weight first!"

"You guys are treating me like an electronic scale, aren't you."

Xu Beifang said speechlessly, causing a burst of laughter beside him.

Last time at the StarSeries, the scene of Xu Beifang lifting the trophy with one hand could only be described as cool.

They all couldn't help but want to compete to imitate it, but the result was tragic; except for Xu Beifang, no one could lift the trophy in a cool way.

Although this big plate in front of them looked light, they were still worried about any "trophy killers."

Besides, Xu Beifang played a crucial role in winning this match today, so no one had any objections to him lifting the trophy.

Under the crowd's encouragement, Xu Beifang walked to the trophy stand and grabbed the trophy handle behind the large round plate with his right hand.

As he gripped the trophy, the rustling cheers in the arena began to rise.

【It's happening!】

【They're going to lift the trophy!】

【Here it comes, here it comes!!】

Xu Beifang lifted the trophy directly.

Those cheers instantly reached their peak, drilling into his ears all at once.

The air cannons around the stage erupted with flames, the audience captured the moment of the trophy lift with their phones, and the confetti that had been prepared long ago fell from the sky; a golden rain had already begun to fall in the noisy arena.

【We are the champions!!】

【Vitality!!!】

【Elige leaves the stage in sorrow】

【Xiao Xu hard-carried this final!】

【Haha, he has to lift this kind of trophy with one hand too; Xiao Xu has an obsession with one-handed trophy lifts】

The Vitality members on the side were also excitedly shouting and cheering behind him. apEX was jumping up and down shouting, when suddenly he "ptui-ed," because a piece of confetti had floated into his mouth.

However, he quickly took the trophy from Xu Beifang's hands, held it with both hands, and lifted it high.

For this championship, they had also spent a lot of time and energy.

The various preparations before the match, spending a large amount of time and energy every day to review, and even during the break, they invited Faze to help them train.

The sweat shed previously had now ushered in the harvest.

The team members took turns feeling the weight of the trophy, and the audience off-stage also cooperated by cheering; for a championship match, they deserved these cheers.

"Today's Vitality has put on a wonderful match for us. They defeated the strongest team in North America, Liquid, successfully lifted the IEM Sydney trophy, and became the final winner of this event!"

The music on-site softened, and the host walked onto the stage, beginning to stir up the audience's emotions.

Xu Beifang wasn't a youngster winning a championship for the first time; he knew the formal interview session was coming next.

As he expected, the host soon began to shout: "apEX, you just lifted the trophy for this tournament; how do you feel right now?"

apEX was still playing with the golden confetti, and only answered when he heard the interview: "Very happy. The main thing is that today's match was played very easily; my teammates were just too good."

Hearing apEX's first sentence, many Liquid fans off-stage felt a bit unhappy.

But hearing the second sentence, they had to admit it.

Indeed, in today's match, Xu Beifang was truly carrying, a performance purely at the level of "frying fish" (smurfing).

The host continued to ask apEX a few questions, and then the interview smoothly came to Xu Beifang: "Looking at your smile, I know for sure you're very happy. Let me ask you a question here: do you know who the MVP player of tonight will be?"

Xu Beifang smiled and raised the microphone: "If there are no surprises, it should be me."

Although his performance on Map 2 and Map 3 wasn't as exaggerated, his explosive performance on Map 1 almost influenced the direction of the entire final.

This wasn't him bragging, but having a clear understanding of the match.

"Then, who is the MVP player in everyone's hearts?" The host looked at the audience in the arena. The audience off-stage kept shouting; some shouted Zywoo, some shouted Elige, and some even shouted S1mple.

Hearing it get increasingly outrageous, the host quickly announced the answer: "The MVP player of this IEM Sydney final—Nice!! Congratulations!"

As the host's voice fell, the various statistics of the final's MVP appeared on the big screen on-site.

ID: Nice

KAD: 89/14/39

Kast%: 83.2%

ADR: 152.4

Rating 2.0: 1.81

Immediately after, the screen flickered, and the director thoughtfully added the headshot rate below.

Headshot Rate: 73.0%

A gasp of surprise erupted off-stage. Although they knew the data might be very outrageous, they didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.

"Hiss~" Wanjiqi looked at the data on the big screen and couldn't help but gasp, "This data, even if it's not the winner's MVP, it's definitely the loser's MVP."

"I can only say he is indeed strong."

Saying this, he couldn't help but think of Elige's blank expression just now, and thought of the loser's MVP that Elige had once received.

Wanjiqi instantly shook his head, shaking the bad thoughts out of his mind.

If it were played like this and they still lost the match, it would be too abstract; there might be a group of Vitality fans who wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

He watched the IEM Sydney live stream while opening a webpage, finding all the data for this match on HLTV.

"Good heavens, it really is data that crushes everything else. Nice has a total of 15 more kills than Elige. With Elige consistently carrying, for him to still have such exaggerated data is truly not easy."

"And even the headshot rate is so high; he really is a mysterious player."

【1.81 rating, I previously thought "smurfing data" was just an exaggerated way of speaking, I didn't expect it to be realistic】

【Mainly because Map 1 was too fierce; he put up a 3.0+ rating on Map 1. Today, Xiao Xu is temporarily taking the title of the human limit】

【1.81 rating, occasionally players can achieve it, but an average of 1.81 over three maps is really too fierce】

【The first map was indeed too fierce; his individual ability directly crushed Liquid until they couldn't breathe】

【Xiao Xu's performance tells us that aggressive riflemen can also make a name for themselves】

【Today's performance is truly World No. 1】

Hearing that the final MVP player was Xu Beifang, the teammates beside him also sincerely offered their applause.

In today's confrontation, Vitality was the final winner, and the team members all played a big role in the match.

Whether it was the preparation the coach made for them before the match, apEX's stable command during the match, or the roles shox and JackZ played in the small areas.

Being able to defeat Liquid so smoothly, Vitality had no members dragging them down.

But if we talk about the person who played the biggest role in the battle, it had to be Xu Beifang.

Those three five-kills on Map 1 played too big a role; he almost broke Liquid's mentality.

And even if Liquid found some form later and tried to push the match to Map 4, it was Xu Beifang who made a brilliant breakthrough at the critical moment, giving Vitality the chance for an overtime confrontation, which allowed them to successfully accept the post-match interview here.

So Xu Beifang's MVP was well-deserved.

At this time, a female host also walked onto the stage and presented an MVP medal.

Xu Beifang took the MVP medal box and opened it to find it was indeed the familiar taste.

This was already his third tournament MVP medal; compared to players like device and S1mple, his honors were certainly still insufficient.

But as long as he was still on the path forward, he didn't have that much pressure.

The host waited for the audience to look at the data and release the emotions in their hearts, pulled the rhythm back, and asked with the microphone: "One more question: in today's Mirage confrontation, we saw you successfully pull off three five-kills. What were your general thoughts at the time?"

The host also plays CSGO, and his thoughts at this moment were the same as the audience off-stage; he wanted to know how Xu Beifang thought, and wanted to learn something from him. What if it made him a little stronger?

"Thoughts?" Xu Beifang took the microphone, pondered slightly, and said: "There weren't any special thoughts. The first five-kill was the opening pistol round; I was at the jump platform, right?"

"That's right."

"I remember the bomb site trade didn't go very well, and my teammates were all on the way to retake. I was under a lot of pressure at that time. I had to hold the first wave on the front, at least not let the opponent spread their formation so quickly. If the opponent secured the Jungle position, Zywoo and shox wouldn't be able to play the retake."

Xu Beifang's train of thought was quite clear; it was obvious he wasn't playing randomly, but with great logic.

Hearing this, many of Xu Beifang's ten-year fans were sighing.

When you were a stupid gunner, I was still C+, and now you've grown a brain, why am I still C+?

"What about the two clutches later?" the host asked curiously.

Xu Beifang's theory made him feel his head was itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain o. 0.

But it still sounded blood-boiling; he couldn't help but want to go home and start a game of "CSGO, Launch!"

So he wanted to continue asking; maybe he would learn something.

"The two clutches later didn't have any special thoughts." Xu Beifang rubbed the MVP medal box with his index finger, "The second clutch was mainly a forced clutch; nothing much to talk about."

A forced clutch generally refers to a clutch that one is forced to take.

His second clutch was the final round of the first half; at this time, saving the weapon was meaningless. If he tried to operate, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope.

"Let's talk about the third clutch. It was a 2V5 at the time, right? We just thought about actively looking for them, and if there was a chance, plant the bomb. But the opponent was holding the bomb site, so we could only retreat in the first wave and give Liquid the illusion that we were going to rotate."

"But at this time, JackZ started to engage with them. The moment I killed Elige, I heard NAF's footsteps, so I took the initiative to break NAF's rhythm of horizontal strafing and came to fight him first. In close-range dueling, you have to take the initiative. As for Elige under the jump platform later, and the last two kills, it was just gunplay."

【I gradually understood everything!】

【I will be Nice's successor in the future!】

【It requires gunplay, I can't learn it】

【Summary: Just kill the opponent instantly】

"Sounds so complicated." The host shook his head and sighed, "It seems I have no chance of having Nice-level operations."

Xu Beifang shook his head: "No, it's actually very simple. As long as you have good friends to play with, and you really want to win, this ability is very easy to train."

He began to give the host examples: "Just like when I duo-queue with NIKO, Danking, and those guys, even if I want to win, I have to bring out 200% of my usual strength."

"Aren't NIKO and Danking very strong professional players?" the host asked.

NIKO has always been a top-tier rifleman, and he also knows Danking is Tyloo's current secondary sniper. Because of Xu Beifang's existence, many people are still looking forward to the professional players from Huaxia.

"It seems you don't have good friends to duo-queue with." Xu Beifang waved his hand, the "pain mask" already on his face, "Duo-queuing with good friends, if you have some skill, they can really throw!"

Inside the Tyloo base, Xiaogui and the others were watching the interview with great interest; they didn't expect Xu Beifang to call out Tie Dan.

"Tie Dan, I didn't expect you to be a freeloader."

"You throw every day like this and still want to be Asia's Number One Sniper?"

"That's right, Asia's Number One Sniper, the guy who snipes in Asia."

Hearing his teammates' teasing, Danking instantly turned red. He shouted in rebuttal: "What do you mean I drag Xu Beifang down? I also often carry when playing the ladder."

"That day I saw you transform into a Red Devil, being carried by Xiao Xu for 6 games."

"Can being carried be called throwing? For professional players, that's called a reasonable victory!" Danking was still arguing, followed by some hard-to-understand words like "I've also carried him," "Those days were just bad form," which made the Tyloo members burst into laughter.

The arena was also full of laughter; many people had been pitted by the same good friends in different games.

When you are killing everyone, he seems to be brushing his WeChat steps.

When you are seriously pre-aiming and trying to kill the opponent, he always says things like "It's our own flashbang, why should the opponent eat it?"

Some random operations can make you instantly have a cerebral hemorrhage and turn red.

In this kind of high-pressure match, it is indeed possible to rapidly raise your level.

Carrying the weight forward, with the match pressure maxed out, it is indeed possible to rapidly raise one's level.

The audience off-stage expressed their thanks to Brother Nice.

En-light-ened!

"Then the last question: what are your expectations for the future?"

Xu Beifang thought for a moment and said tentatively: "We've already won the first tournament, IEM Sydney. So next, should our goal be to look toward the Grand Slam?"

The CSGO Grand Slam, full name Intel Grand Slam, is an event organized by Intel and ESL. In the original rules, if a team can win 4 out of 10 Intel series events, they can get the Grand Slam team title.

CSGO is a community-based competition dominated by cup tournaments, and various competitions are relatively chaotic, with 6-10 top-tier events in a year.

Because of time, maps, schedules, individual players, etc., different teams may not participate in the same competitions. Just like Astralis didn't participate in this IEM Sydney station.

And the Intel Grand Slam connects CSGO events other than the Major, establishing a goal for top professional teams. Once a team wins the Grand Slam, it is an honor second only to the Major for them.

Because a Grand Slam signifies a team's dominance in the top-tier scene over a quarter, or even half a year.

And the team that wins the Grand Slam title can get an additional prize of up to 1 million US dollars.

However, this 1 million isn't so easy to get, after all, it requires winning 4 tournament championships, and is limited to within 10 matches.

For example, Vitality won the IEM Sydney championship today, so they can officially start their Grand Slam journey. In the next 9 Intel series events, Vitality still needs to win 3 championships.

This difficulty is very high; you have to know that Vitality only has two trophies so far.

Since the Intel events began preparations in 2018, only Astralis spent 8 months last year to achieve the Grand Slam team achievement.

As for the second season's Grand Slam team, many teams have already started, but they are all very far from the goal.

This statement is relatively arrogant, but the audience off-stage bought it; CSGO players like this kind of confident guy.

The cheers on-site were very loud, everyone was very cooperative, and the host waited for a while before continuing to ask: "Nice has high expectations for future Intel events?"

"That's for sure." Xu Beifang said, "Vitality hasn't reached its peak yet; we are still in a period of integration."

During the conversation, he glanced at Zywoo.

Recently, Zywoo has been adjusting his playstyle. He clearly felt that this guy was finding a position in the team that suited him better, and apEX was also testing his own position.

apEX, who was once an entry fragger, really wanted to return to the front to play, but he hadn't tried it specifically yet, and wasn't sure if there were any problems with this playstyle.

"As a professional player, we are only at the beginning now. Next, we definitely plan to train our abilities through these events and finally go lift that Major trophy."

Xu Beifang revealed his ambition.

Perhaps when he first became a professional player, Xu Beifang didn't have such high requirements; he just wanted to compete and play against old acquaintances like NIKO and S1mple.

But as his level got higher and he experienced more matches, his thoughts changed.

He wanted to win the championship, wanted his fans to see his ability, and wanted his family and friends who supported him to be proud of him.

The Major is a mountain in front of all CSGO professional players; everyone wants to climb this peak.

The Major is a place that breaks countless people's hearts, and it is also the motivation for dreamers to persist.

As soon as Xu Beifang said this, it immediately caused a commotion in the arena.

【Charge, charge, charge! Hope to see the name Vitality written on the S2 season Grand Slam team!】

【With Vitality's recent form, it's not impossible to win the Grand Slam】

【My Beifang, others at least win half before opening champagne, this Grand Slam just started and he's already at it】

【Haha, Xiao Xu is this kind of personality, focusing on saying whatever comes to mind. As for not winning the Grand Slam, that's actually quite normal; everyone wants to win that 1 million US dollars】

【At least win three games before saying this】

【Charge for the Major! I don't even dare to imagine how excited I would be if Xiao Xu won the Major】

【Xiao Xu, charge! Carry our hopes!】

The shouting off-stage was noisy, but the Vitality members were very satisfied with this situation.

The music slowly faded, and the host finally put down the microphone and said to them: "Don't go yet, let's go sign the camera; it's our IEM tradition."

JackZ's eyes widened instantly: "Why do we still have to sign?"

Mainly because during the StarSeries media day, the domestic players were too enthusiastic toward them. JackZ was handsome, and he was loved by too many players.

And he didn't know how to say no, which led to him having a headache whenever signing was mentioned for quite a long time.

"It's just signing your name on the camera." apEX explained.

Hearing this, JackZ breathed a sigh of relief. Last time in Shanghai, he signed for several hours, which directly gave him a cramp in his hand; he had a bit of PTSD.

apEX took the signature pen from the staff member nearby and made faces at the camera.

Outside of the match, apEX is still a person who likes to pull stunts, but since becoming the commander, perhaps to maintain the seriousness of his command, he rarely pulls stunts.

Only occasionally would he reveal his true nature.

apEX signed his ID in the top left corner of the camera, and Zywoo followed closely, sticking next to him.

Xu Beifang looked at their conventional signatures and directly demonstrated what it means to say "bigger is better!"

He directly set up his stance and started painting wildly with the signature pen.

In the end, one signature directly filled the entire screen.

"This fits my tall image."

JackZ and shox looked on with question marks all over their heads.
