Chapter 306: Intensify the CNCS!

Xu Beifang returned home and entered an extremely leisurely state.

shox has also been sharing his daily routine of preparing for the wedding recently, which is tiring but also full of joy.

JackZ is a primary member, and as the best man, he is frantically messing with shox.

Zywoo found a few new games recently and wanted to pull Xu Beifang to play together.

Xu Beifang was enjoying his vacation leisurely, so he refused Zywoo's proposal.

In the end, Zywoo pulled apEX, who had nothing to do at home, for a sweet duo. But soon Zywoo entered the Bastille again. Their duo time was not ideal. On the third day of duoing with apEX, Zywoo couldn't help but complain in the group: "Bean needs to be carried everywhere, this is very annoying."

Xu Beifang had an expression of eating melons. Even the good-natured Zywoo would occasionally complain to them.

Bean listened to Zywoo's complaints and directly deprived Zywoo of his fresh baguette to punish this disrespectful speech.

XTQZZZ directly dived, only occasionally coming out to comment.

Vitality's members are all quite leisurely during this vacation.

And on the first-tier arena, it didn't really enter the off-season. The only team that really rested was Vitality.

Liquid, who just finished IEM Sydney, started preparing to participate in the fourth week of the North American ECS league after a few days of simple adjustment.

Faze is also preparing to participate in the fourth week of the European ECS league. It is worth mentioning that Faze is logging into this match with a brand new lineup.

The former Major champion player 'Da Jin Ya' (AdreN) joined Faze in January 2019, attracting countless people's expectations.

However, in this journey of Faze, they didn't play the chemical reaction they imagined, and the results were relatively poor.

From the player's personal point of view, although he played a support position, 0.94 rating in 4 months was obviously not meeting the requirements of Faze's entire team.

If it was as a commander, this data could be accepted.

But Faze's commander NIKO still played close to 1.16 data in these few months, so the comparison was quite obvious.

Whether it is ladder entertainment or professional matches.

Everyone generally has relatively low requirements for commanders, because those who have been commanders understand that if you coordinate and take responsibility for the team's information, your aim will inevitably decline.

So the commander's rating, as long as it is above 0.9, can be accepted.

Because compared to the quality of data, an excellent commander's role in the entire team is definitely more important than those few kills.

This point can be seen from an FPL match Xu Beifang played before.

At that time, Xu Beifang, S1mple, NIKO, Broky, and ISSAA were in a team. The lineup of five gunners was called luxurious.

The opposite lineup was hooxi, 'Little Li Zi' (Aleksib), ropz, Xantares, and Bymas.

If this lineup gambles, looking at it at a glance, it must be Xu Beifang's side that has the advantage.

After all, five gunners, the pressure of front-line confrontation is directly pulled full.

But the final result was that they lost to the opponent in overtime, because in some mid-term gambits, they always suffered losses.

The two commanders, hooxi and Little Li Zi, in the opposite lineup played a huge role.

Whether a team has an excellent commander, the problem is here.

At that time, NIKO served as the commander in the match, but S1mple always felt that NIKO's command was a pile.

NIKO didn't play smart enough. His thinking as a rifleman was too serious. When looking at the overall situation, the reaction speed was a bit slow.

And NIKO on the field now, under the controversy of fans, finally couldn't bear the pressure and stepped down from the commander's position.

It is worth mentioning that the player who took over as Faze's commander has a bit of origin with Xu Beifang.

He is Xu Beifang's former captain, the only CSGO god of war—NEO.

Xu Beifang knew the news that Faze was contacting NEO before, but the original lineup changed not long ago, and they were still hesitating.

Perhaps it was because the results of these few months were too miserable, and the public opinion storm NIKO faced was too big, that they finally made a decision to let NEO officially become Faze's commander.

Xu Beifang also came to his own internet cafe on the day of the match, intending to watch the comeback battle of his old captain.

Faze's first battle with the new lineup, the opponent is NEO's old club, the Polish VP team.

When Xu Beifang chose to go to France to join Vitality before, he thought this VP team would soon fall apart.

The facts are indeed so. After finishing the Katowice Major, VP once briefly announced the dissolution of the original lineup, wanting to put the focus on the PUBG project.

But only a month passed, and VP reorganized the CSGO division again.

In the current lineup, only MICHU and snax are the ones Xu Beifang is more familiar with.

The first sword of the comeback is to cut the old things first. This fun is directly pulled full. Xu Beifang is also sitting in his own internet cafe's match area, watching with relish.

Faze, who appeared with a new lineup, did not perform outstandingly.

But this also fits the characteristics of this Fazeclan team.

When the state is excellent, all gods return to their places.

When the state is poor, ten thousand horses return to the shed.

Playing to the end, it actually needs an old 'Bi Deng' (Olofmeister) to carry the whole field, which shows some problems.

And NEO, as the commander, also had quite poor data, only playing 0.66 data.

Here Xu Beifang can still understand that the team played poorly overall, and NEO also returned to the first-tier stage after being away for a few months, so he must adapt to the state.

However, recalling a playstyle of Faze today, Xu Beifang was a bit suspicious: "This NEO, is he using NIKO as me?"

He watched the match for a while and felt a familiar feeling.

"Holy shit! 4-protect-1!!"

Xu Beifang took a breath, making an outstanding contribution to global warming.

When in VP, because the overall state of the old guys was a bit powerless, they proposed a core idea of 4-protect-1 building a team around Xu Beifang.

At that time, VP was playing around Xu Beifang.

Even if Xu Beifang wanted to push forward, there would definitely be a bodyguard behind him.

Even as long as Xu Beifang gave instructions, letting teammates be his human flashbangs and pull the gun line, no one would say anything.

All utility and playstyles served Xu Beifang, this sharp knife, which was quite extreme.

And today, NEO put this system playstyle on Faze.

It's just that the slow-heating Faze hasn't found its state yet.

If they are really allowed to adapt to this playstyle for a period of time, it should not be difficult to achieve results, plus NIKO's outstanding individual ability, the overall effect produced will definitely be much better than the VP period.

Xu Beifang looked at the post-match data on the screen, feeling that the next first-tier tournaments will become more and more interesting.

May 15, 2019, Wednesday.

Suitable: House cleaning, bathing, no other things

Taboo: Marriage, opening, stove making, fasting

"Boss, is there any big match tonight?"

In the Nice internet cafe, an old customer looked at Xu Nanfang who was debugging the projection uncomprehendingly.

"Big match? That's not there, but my brother is broadcasting on Huya tonight, so I'll put it out to see." Xu Nanfang responded.

"Tsk tsk tsk." The customer wearing a hoodie shook his head and sighed, "Boss, you really are a brother-obsessed sister."

"Go play on the side, are you making fun of me." Xu Nanfang continued to operate on the projection a few times, and the screen on the curtain not far away finally had a picture.

As the TOP9 player in 2018 rated by HLTV, Vitality's superstar, and one of the strongest breakthrough players in first-tier matches, the news that Xu Beifang is about to broadcast on Huya has been fermenting for several days.

The publicity news on various forums has also been pulled full.

Many viewers who like to watch live broadcasts can see Xu Beifang's handsome makeup photo on the homepage when they open Huya today. Just click it to jump to Xu Beifang's live broadcast room.

"Why is there no picture?" 【

He soon found a recording uploaded by a quite famous English-stream commentator on his phone from yesterday.

He found the first map and started playing it.

Just as it started, various bullet-screen comments began to fly across the top of the screen crazily:

【Came here by reputation】

【Came to see how on earth he got a 3.07 rating】

【Busy lifting the trophy and getting off work to eat】

【Totally crazy!!】

【Can two fists really not beat four hands?】

【Nice: Even if my teammates don't get a single kill, I can still lead them to victory】

As the video started, device soon saw Liquid's smooth explosive bomb attack in the pistol round, and the scene of them preparing to surround Xu Beifang at the Jump Platform.

As a result, before his eyes, Xu Beifang just went left and right, killing everyone.

"This Liquid is too anxious. If NAF could have been steady in this wave, or if the 'Director' (Elige) on the front line had let him step out to annoy him, Nice wouldn't have been able to operate either."

His long-standing personality made him quickly start seeking the optimal solution in the match. Although it seemed Liquid didn't make any big mistakes, he thought there were still quite a few small errors.

Liquid's playstyle of pursuing individual ability didn't require particularly high coordination among players, which led to their details being relatively rough.

However, he also realized that Nice was indeed very strong. In this situation of being surrounded, he didn't do any extra operations; he seized every opportunity Liquid gave him to operate.

Nice had produced the first ace, so whose was the second ace?

gla1ve's phone call was endless. device turned on double speed and started watching forward, until the final round of the first half, when the bullet screen reminded 【High energy ahead】, he slowed down and started watching this round slowly.

Xu Beifang's playstyle was as aggressive as ever, constantly pushing forward on Mirage, which made him express that his horizons were broadened. This point was also a push, but suddenly changing a position caught Liquid off guard.

Then, under his gaze, in this round, Xu Beifang lived up to his name in the clutch, winning against Liquid and once again getting an ace.

"The second time. Could the third time also be Nice's ace?"

He continued watching down, and soon saw the pistol round of the second half. Vitality started with a 2v5 clutch. At this moment, device even had some expectations; he had a premonition that the answer he wanted was in this round.

Sure enough, in the first wave of the 2v5, they only got one kill, but Nice and JackZ retreated safely to the back point. Immediately after, JackZ was killed, and the Liquid trio saw the bomb, setting up a position where they could trade kills very quickly.

Then, he saw Xu Beifang rush out and use three bullets to instantly kill all three Liquid members.

"Whoa!!!!" device's eyes were astonished. "Is that how Liquid lost last night?"

gla1ve heard his question and nodded very perfunctorily.

device looked at the phone screen; the bullet comments had filled the entire screen at this moment:

【Liquid combined played about as well as Nice played alone; too top-tier】

【Nice's heart has no waves, he even wants to laugh】

【The BOSS drank Liquid like drinking water】

【History has been made, this guy's firepower is too fierce】

【Three aces, ten kills in the pistol round; I wouldn't even dare to dream this】

【BOSS is getting a feel for 'fish-frying' (smurfing)】

Looking at the bullet comments that almost filled the phone screen, device recalled the photo on the forum again.

This time, once he thought of it, he finally understood why the forum netizens said that photo had a strong sense of oppression.

"So it turns out Nice got three aces in a single match!!"

As if hearing device's self-talk, gla1ve turned his head and added, "It's not just three aces in a single match; his average rating for the entire final was 1.81."

"Ah!!"

What kind of concept is 1.81?

No matter in what kind of match, 1.81 can count as carrying the team forward, but this was Nice's 1.81 average over three maps.

Is Liquid that miserable?

device was already a bit messy.

gla1ve finished his call, recalled device's inquiry, and explained the specific situation last night vividly:

"When Nice got the first ace last night, the Liquid guys were stunned. They never expected that just as the final started, Nice would get an ace... At that time, the director cut to their camera, and they were full of confusion. Liquid didn't know whether to call a timeout or not."

Because he was watching the video at double speed, device hadn't carefully watched the players' facial changes during the intermission.

Now listening to gla1ve's explanation, he could almost see Stewie2K's 'pissed-off face' and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Haha, I can imagine how awkward that scene was."

They had also encountered such problems before, but with gla1ve as the anchor here, they could quickly handle the problem.

gla1ve said to device, "It seems that as you said, our next opponent will very likely be Vitality."

Vitality used to be purely a 'Bastille' (prison); although they had top-tier players, their strength was never quite enough to look at. But now, I'm afraid no one doubts Vitality's strength; after all, they have consecutively defeated top-tier teams like NAVI and Liquid.

And device believed that compared to Liquid, Vitality also had more outstanding tactical ability. According to this trend, they would definitely be able to become a top-tier team in the future.

He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Xu Beifang; Xu Beifang was just a 'stupid gunner' then.

At that time, he wanted to trick Xu Beifang into playing badminton with him to enjoy the happiness of 'fish-frying', but he didn't expect to be seen through directly.

That was when Xu Beifang was still with that bunch of old men from VP. device initially thought Xu Beifang would become the 'dean' of VP and become the next Walde.

But he didn't expect that although Xu Beifang was a 'dean' for a few months, he broke free from that cage even faster. Now he is no longer the 'stupid gunner' who couldn't even understand clutches.

Speaking of which, it's a bit pretentious, but he hadn't had such a strong desire to compete for a long time.

The current Astralis can only be said to be unprecedented in the top-tier professional arena.

As long as they can participate in a match, they can enter the final, and it's very easy to win the championship.

They had no more honors to win, which led to them being very exhausted in the last few months, so they entered a rest state.

device didn't expect that just by watching a Vitality match today, he would have the desire to win once again.

device rubbed his hands, looking at Xu Beifang who was still killing everywhere in the mobile video; he suddenly really wanted to face Vitality once.

Transition chapter, written from the perspective of other players, a small attempt. ===== CHAPTER 303 =====

They just quietly admired Xu Beifang warming up.

It took a little over 13 minutes to finish those 1000 bots, and many fans were even left wanting more.

"As a CSGO streamer, we don't have much content, so let's try the ladder first," Xu Beifang said after deep thought.

As a CSGO streamer, he considered himself to have plenty of content.

However, on the first day of streaming on the Huya platform, he still had to show himself off and let these viewers see his level.

Xu Beifang quickly opened the 5E platform.

A month and a half ago, they were still playing matches in China. At that time, to ensure his training state, Xu Beifang had also pushed his ladder points quite close. Although his ranking had dropped to below 100 because he hadn't played for too long, his overall rank was still very high.

Xu Beifang clicked match directly.

During the matching process, Xu Beifang also looked at the secondary screen on the right and started answering some questions from the audience.

【Who does Little Xu think is the strongest sniper?】

"That must be Zywoo. Is there any other choice?"

【Who does Beifang think is the strongest CSGO player?】

"Pasha. He can't win in the match, but outside the match, he can also use his sandbag-sized fists to beat the opponent to death."

【Does apEX often pressure people on the team?】

"No, he just likes to put pressure on the opponent, and his way of expressing himself is a bit anxious."

Perhaps because it was finally a bridge to communicate with professional players, everyone wanted to understand the private personalities of various foreign players through Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang also patiently explained to everyone from his own perspective.

The only problem was that there were too many bullet comments, and he couldn't answer them all by himself.

Just after he tried hard to answer questions for nearly 10 minutes, he heard the "ding ding ding" sound, and the 5E platform officially matched successfully.

Xu Beifang drank some water, preparing to perform well.

He subconsciously glanced at the secondary screen:

"Okay, okay! Don't move randomly. If it's broken, there is no second one!" Xu Nanfang glared at his younger brother. He felt that such an important thing, just taken out like this, if accidentally bumped, it would make him feel distressed to death.

A water friend asked uncomprehendingly: "Why did Vitality let you bring it back? This thing is usually not placed in the club?"

Xu Beifang explained: "Except for individual cases, most tournament trophies will prepare quite a few. Generally, the championship club will take one, and other championship players can also spend a little money to get a replica if they want."

Compared to the honor of the championship, Xu Beifang doesn't care about that little bit of money.

"It is estimated that Mom will say that the house can't fit it later." Xu Beifang said to his brother.

Xu Nanfang held the trophy, secretly lifted it, as if he could feel the noise of his brother on the stage, noticed his brother was about to turn his head, and hurriedly put it down, maintaining his dignity as a brother: "If it can't fit, put it in our internet cafe. Later, I will directly build a glory wall for you. You just fill the glory wall!"

"That's quite interesting!" Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows. He felt that if his internet cafe was full of trophies, it might really become a check-in spot for domestic CSGO players later.

Xu Beifang took a group photo with the fans who came to pick up the plane to celebrate for him, and then got into his eldest brother's old Ford and started to rush home.

Although he had been away from home for more than a month, Xu Beifang felt that it had been a long time, perhaps because his taste had been raised by his brother since he was a child.

The food in other countries, when tasted for the first time, can indeed give people a sense of surprise.

But in the end, the food at home is more fragrant.

"Nanfang, is this your younger brother who is abroad? I heard that he makes money playing games abroad. The young people now are really amazing."

Just walking into the alley, a big aunt at the small shop shouted at them.

"Yeah, my brother finished the match, just happened to go home to rest for a while." Xu Nanfang greeted the aunt and took his brother into the alley.

Now in Suzhou, although their family bought a house, Xu Beifang will also live there when he is on vacation.

But most of the time when eating, they will still be in the small courtyard on the sister-in-law's side. Everyone likes to be lively.

Compared to the high-rise buildings in Jiangxi, the various styles in Suzhou are relatively small and exquisite.

It's just that the small place is not very friendly to a big guy like Xu Beifang.

After circling in the alley for a few times, he finally reached the destination.

"Beifang is back?"

"Yeah, back."

"Then just play with your phone on the side for a while, we'll eat soon."

Xu Beifang looked at the environment beside him. Dad was sitting not far away brushing his phone, and from time to time he could hear the shout of "fishing", maybe he was watching fishing videos.

Mom was preparing lunch for the whole family in the kitchen.

The fragrance drifted into Xu Beifang's nose, making Xu Beifang couldn't help but sneeze.

Sister-in-law Wang Xiaoya showed a helpless smile on her face: "Sure enough, the youngest is the most loved. Knowing you are coming back, Mom shouted yesterday, 'My Beifang must be hungry and thin outside, must cook something good for him to eat.' We who are at home only have the share of envy."
