Chapter 31

"Pasha, you really have a great personality. You can run into your fans just by playing a random ladder match."

The win or loss of the pistol round was of no consequence. At home, Neo smiled and turned on his mic to chat with the muscle man.

"This is all glory earned together. Otherwise, I might still be moving bricks at that construction site, working hard for my daughter's piano," Pasha replied with a smile. He was also quite happy to run into fans in the ladder.

Neo, however, was stunned for a moment. This understated remark from the muscle man in the team reminded him of the years of struggle.

When Pasha first agreed to join VP, he used the excuse of needing to save money for his daughter to buy a piano.

A group of high-spirited young people fought continuously in CS: GO, becoming the nostalgic VP Golden Five, earning quite a few honors. Pasha not only earned the money to buy his daughter a piano but even bought himself a house.

But that nostalgic Golden Five was gradually fading out of the public eye.

"Do you think we can still stand on the stages of major tournaments?" Neo asked Pasha inexplicably.

"Of course. This year is just a small setback. Don't worry. Before retiring at Katowice in '19, we'll work hard to win another championship."

"But Taz and Snax have already left!" Neo sighed in his heart. The era of the VP Golden Five had actually long since passed.

He knew Pasha had always wanted to work hard to achieve good results before retiring, but some things cannot be accomplished just by working hard.

Pasha didn't care about the outcome of the pistol round, but he remembered the 'nice' on the other side who said he was his fan. He pressed TAB and took a look: two kills, one assist.

Worthy of being my fan! Played really well!

"The fan brother played very well. We can't let the other side look down on us either. Brothers, get serious and let the fans feel our true VP strength!"

Although he said so, Pasha didn't actively communicate tactics, just let his teammates get serious.

But just as Neo thought, some things in the world cannot be changed just by working hard, just like the score trend in the early stages.

Under the entanglement of both sides, in the blink of an eye, it reached the metaphysical score of 7:1.

This time, Pasha and the other three from VP were truly serious. Being beaten by fans in such a lopsided way was truly embarrassing.

As the team commander, Pasha actively began to set up tactical playstyles, intending to teach the fan team on the other side a lesson according to professional match playstyles.

The result of the adjustment was very significant. As soon as they came up, the VP side clawed back a point.

But!

It's not just the defensive side that knows professional playstyles!

The Vitality commander was still on the offensive side. Sensing the change in the opponent's attitude, apex was having a great time on voice chat:

"VP is really not good anymore. Have they become this weak? Using professional tactics in a four-stack ladder match? It seems the VP golden generation is gradually heading toward decay."

Xu Beifang smiled and echoed the French CS: GO Mr. Bean twice. He also strongly agreed with this point. He vaguely remembered that Pasha retired this year because at the 2019 Katowice, Pasha, as a legendary player, lifted the trophy on stage. That look in his eyes at the time was impressive, and he had remembered it.

Dou Dou was becoming increasingly curious about 'nice'. He pressed TAB and took a look at the stats.

nice: 13/1/3

The main thing was, he had a ping of over 130 on the left!

High-ping warrior with amazing stats = exaggerated genius!

Dou Dou was quite accurate in judging people. A player who could still produce good stats under high pressure could not have low skill, just like the random king Zywoo on FACEIT this year.

Because his score was really too high, the FACEIT matching system often matched him with low-score teammates. Zywoo's daily routine was carrying four, but he could still produce good stats and climb the ranks under pressure.

The nice in front of him looked no different from Zywoo.

Being able to crush the VP four-stack with a ping of 130—if it were a ping of around 30, that would be incredible!

Wouldn't that beat the hell out of guys like FaZe and Astralis?

Taking advantage of the time VP called a timeout to cool down, Dou Dou switched to the FACEIT personal information page and took a look at Xu Beifang's profile.

"Holy cow!"

Xu Beifang's stats truly amazed him.

298 matches, average KD ratio of 1.47, win rate as high as 72%!

Isn't this a proper genius teenager?

"nice, how old are you?" Switching back to FACEIT, Dou Dou turned on his mic and asked in TS.

"21, almost 22." Xu Beifang answered truthfully. This wasn't the first time he had been asked this. Since he started playing FACEIT, it was indeed as the netizens said; quite a few teams would come to ask about this, after all, his stats were very impressive.

But in most cases, there was often no follow-up.

This age is a bit old. I say, why doesn't Tyloo want such a genius teenager?

Dou Dou was a bit tempted, but sighed in his heart. His say in Vitality was not heavy right now. After this Major was over and Zywoo came of age, they would introduce him. Adding two newcomers at once, the management team would not agree.

However, he still liked nice's wild breakthrough style very much; it had a lot of his crazy dog style from '15. If there was a chance in the future, he wanted to try to pull this guy over.

He also knew that if nice had the heart to go into the professional circle, with his level, there would definitely be a place for him in the circle.

Listening to nice's sexy voice, Dou Dou sighed again in his heart: "What a pity."

The timeout called by VP ended, and Dou Dou also got serious. Since he could win today, he didn't intend to give the muscle men on the other side any good looks. Beating a drowning dog—he was determined to take this point.

"nice, later you go solo to B2 floor. Wait for my command and then do a fake attack toward B2 floor, and then we'll do a fast attack on A Site."

Dou Dou briefly explained his next tactic. This tactic was not complicated; the difference from a match was the positioning and the details of utility usage, etc.

"No problem, just let me know when you want me to fake attack."

What a good player... so willing to listen to advice. This is simply a commander's 'dream lover'. You can make him do whatever you want, and you can fully exert your tactical ideas. It's simply too great—if there's a chance in the future, I must get him!

Xu Beifang carried his AK-47 to B2 floor, first holding the sewer for a while to guard against the opponent pushing forward.

No one was controlling mid, and the info on whether anyone jumped into the sewer was completely unknown. It needed to be guarded against; otherwise, it would not only harm himself but also harm his teammates.

After holding for about 10 seconds, no one was seen in the sewer. Xu Beifang carried his gun and slowly snuck into the B2 floor kitchen.

Dou Dou aimed at the Terrorist spawn and threw a VIP smoke, and also gave two flashbangs in mid, carrying out a wave of utility suppression.

"About 10 seconds, nice, you can push forward. Do a fake attack, just give them some pressure on B Site."

"Understood."

Xu Beifang waited for 10 seconds on B2 floor, then came to the corner to face the wall, followed by a big strafe to the right!

Someone was standing on the sofa on the right side inside B2 floor, holding the angle directly.

Seeing the person, Xu Beifang didn't stop directly, but continued to walk to the right, pulling to the right side of the opponent's field of vision.

Then simply adjusted, and peeked back to the left.

Neo, who was holding the angle directly, suddenly saw someone appear, but the opponent's speed was extremely fast, directly rushing into his blind spot.

He hurriedly walked down from the coffee table to the right, wanting to make the opponent unable to pre-aim and fire a pre-fire shot, but the thing he worried about still happened.

Before he could stand firm on B2 floor, the opponent had already rushed out, and the AK-47's four-shot recoil control easily took him away.

"Pasha, that fan entered B2 floor!!" Neo hurriedly shouted to remind Byali, who was at B Small. At this stage, their positioning was the conventional 302.

Originally, their idea was to let him silently hold B2 floor to get info, freeing up Bliya's defense and letting him watch mid at B Small.

But Neo never expected that someone had already entered the kitchen, and was even pulled directly into the blind spot by the opponent, losing the initiative and being taken down by the opponent without injury.

At the same time, looking at the kill info in the top right corner, Dou Dou also shouted "nice" excitedly. Successfully getting a kill on B Site, no matter whether VP thought the B Site attack was fake or real, they had to send people to retake.

"Come, come, come, we're starting the explosive bomb attack."

Xu Beifang also finally knew the consequences of picking the wrong ID.

However, he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to push forward. Since Dou Dou asked him to fake attack, he had to make the momentum sufficient.

There was someone standing on B2 floor, so there was a high probability that there would be no one on the bomb site, so the place to pay attention to now was—B Small!

Xu Beifang adjusted his pre-aim and rubbed over half a body length by half a body length.

Byali was the only seedling on B Site. Seeing the figure at the B2 floor window, he immediately opened fire.

But Xu Beifang was originally intending to bait the position. Hearing the gunshot, he directly strafed big to the right!

"Da-da-da!"

【nice used AK-47 to headshot kill Byali】

The moment he got the kill, Xu Beifang jumped into B Site from the window and quickly cleared the points.

"Apex, stop the explosive bomb attack, come directly to B, B Site is empty!"

Looking at the kill info in the top right corner, Dou Dou stopped the action of still throwing explosive bombs and immediately shouted:

"Go, go, go! Brothers, rotate! nice, you hold on, just don't die. If you have utility, throw it into the Supermarket, don't let them touch you."

On the way running, Dou Dou felt physical and mental pleasure again.

Looking at Xu Beifang on the mini-map, he shook his head and sighed.

I asked you to fake attack, and you directly pierced through B Site. You're really disobedient... but having such a teammate is simply too cool!

Xu Beifang pierced through B Site, and still had a lot of utility on his body that hadn't been used. According to what Dou Dou said, he threw it wildly into the Supermarket, mainly to delay time.

His teammates also quickly arrived to defend. The remaining three CTs looked at this retake clutch and fell into silence, only able to enter the weapon-saving phase.

"Pasha, if you were as fierce as your fan, that would be great." Neo complained.

"If you keep blabbering, see if I don't hammer you at the next training camp."

Neo chose to shut up from his heart, while Pasha fell into deep thought.

The update time in the morning will not be set for now, because many brothers have reported too many typos recently, and I also need to calm down and fix them. Otherwise, the quality of the text sent out will be a bit poor. Sorry, sorry.

There will be another chapter this afternoon, and another chapter at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Thanks to 'Yi Dian Dian Nan Shou' for the 10,000 point reward. Thanks, boss.
