Chapter 313: Feedback brought by

Tyloo's sudden flight to the second floor in the long-gun round did catch their psychological blind spot.

Because in the first two rounds, Tyloo played very slowly.

According to common sense, entering the first long-gun round, they should be more cautious to operate.

Who would have thought that Tyloo gambled a big one, directly launching a dense offensive on A2 at the first moment.

Listening to the coach's teasing, apEX and the others were a bit blushing.

Against Tyloo, plus the opponent's latency of nearly 100, they were indeed a bit careless in their hearts.

But except for apEX who was killed for two consecutive rounds, the others' economy was still quite good, barely able to play the long-gun round.

The score came to 2:1.

Xu Beifang pulled JackZ to the B area.

apEX still wanted to test the 4-1 opening playstyle given by the analyst. As a member of single B, Xu Beifang's pressure was slightly a bit great.

JackZ walked toward the banana road and said: "I'll give the banana road near-point fire as usual, and then retreat?"

"You give the near-point first, then throw a grenade in the middle, and then you don't have to worry about the banana road," Xu Beifang answered.

He asked JackZ to come to the B area at the first moment, first to save a set of utility, so that there is some room for operation later.

Secondly, it is also to give the opponent the illusion that there are two people in the B area.

Otherwise, if the information that the B area defense is weak is captured by the opponent, and they speed up in one wave, he really finds it hard to endure.

JackZ followed Xu Beifang's requirements, gave a near-point fire and a middle grenade, and then started to retreat to the back point.

Xu Beifang didn't stay at the near point for long and soon came to the first box, framing the point.

Ordinary players, in the case of single B, will adopt a reconnaissance posture.

Reconnoitering by swaying at the CT spawn or coffin, using utility to delay time.

That playstyle is quite good, just like jumping reconnaissance on the stone slab.

Conventional, but stable.

But Xu Beifang thinks this playstyle is too conventional; if the opponent has experience, it's easy to identify that you are defending single B.

Once the opponent recognizes it, they directly give a flashbang and force a push, and he finds it hard to endure alone.

So Xu Beifang chose to go the opposite way, choosing a relatively aggressive counter-clear playstyle.

Directly a wave of utility in the second time.

Even if he didn't get a kill in the counter-clear, he could persuade the opponent to retreat, letting the opponent think the B area is a two-person position, and the pressure is great.

Sometimes being more aggressive on the defensive end can achieve better results.

JackZ retreated to the connector.

Zywoo held an M4 and listened to information under A2, seeing this, he said: "Do we want to actively counter-clear?"

Xu Beifang is defending in the B area alone; he is still worried.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Xu Beifang's personal ability; it's mainly that single-person defense really has no fault tolerance.

If the opponent directly uses a predetermined tactic to hit B, then Beifang's pressure is too great.

So he thought about 4A actively pushing forward to find opportunities.

At this time, even if it's a personnel exchange, they won't lose.

"Don't be anxious, we'll just pretend to be 3A," apEX said unhurriedly.

As an IGL, he thinks more.

Although it has been tested that the plan given by the analyst is effective, they still have to try the upper limit of this playstyle.

And truly getting into a match, running into IGLs of the level of gla1ve and Karrigan, sometimes their choices are very unreasonable.

So he really wants to see, in the case of not having much confrontation on the front,

To what extent Xu Beifang can do it alone, and how they will unfold the retake later.

A change of a set of tactics has too many complicated things that he, the IGL, needs to judge.

It's not just that one round was played well, and he decided—we'll use this set of tactics in the future.

The confrontation at the CSGO professional level is too complicated.

Time passed slowly, there was not much movement in the A area, just simple personnel exchanges.

Xu Beifang framed for a long time on the first box and didn't see the opponent have any probing actions, and there was no sound of flashbangs on the banana road.

But time reached 1 minute, and the teammates in the A area didn't send any news, which still made him unable to help but move.

He framed the point in advance and then started to take out utility one after another.

A banana road stone slab smoke, followed by a near-point fire, and then a counter-clear flashbang.

Xu Beifang jumped off the first box and directly went up to find trouble for the opponent.

……

Having played against European teams for so many days, if you say Tyloo didn't learn anything, that's impossible.

Painful failures often allow people to get good growth.

Tyloo's bad habits of being ladder-like have been slowly corrected in these few days, and the whole is also deliberately learning the silent playstyle of European teams and strengthening the team's discipline.

Just played a wave of fast offensive, BnTeT wanted to slow down the rhythm, slowly play utility exchange with Vitality, and then use the simplest wave of explosive attack to decide the outcome by gunplay.

Although there are no particularly strong gunner-type players in the team, BnTeT thinks Tyloo's personal ability is still quite good.

Especially since other abilities are not prominent at this stage, they have to avoid weaknesses and use relatively outstanding gunplay to solve problems.

"This utility management is too good." BnTeT felt pressure in his heart.

They spent quite a lot of utility in probing, but didn't give the opponent enough pressure.

Just like the current B area, only gave a round of utility at the beginning, making him a bit unable to figure out the opponent's playstyle.

But time is passing every second, forcing BnTeT to make a decision.

"Banana road gather in advance, wait for a while, give a CT-spawn smoke first, force the opponent's utility out, and then we hide in the counter-cleared smoke and directly push forward in one wave of utility synchronization."

The IGL issued the instruction, and the few members in Tyloo started to push forward to probe.

Danking is generally the third position of the team, responsible for a position of covering fire.

He came to the stone slab silently, and suddenly heard the sound of utility, a smoke grenade flew from the sky on the left.

"Not right... want to counter-clear!"

Danking shouted in the voice chat.

This kind of counter-clear utility will appear in high-end ladder matches, and they, as professional players, react even faster.

Danking called it out very promptly, but the problem was that Xu Beifang's utility came out faster.

Before Baicai and CY1 could retreat from the near point of the banana road, a full-burn fire at the wooden barrel near point had already fallen.

Baicai's position was forward, could only move toward the B-pass direction.

But what came toward him—was a fully white flashbang.

Xu Beifang jumped down from the first box and saw two Terrorists covering their eyes.

M4A4 in hand, a spray was clean and neat.

"Da da da!"

【Nice used M4A4 to kill summer】

【Nice used M4A4 to headshot kill Attacker】

This wave of spray transfer had no difficulty for Xu Beifang; in the case of the opponent stepping on the fire, it was just a very casual wave of spray, melting the two at the near point.

In fact, Xu Beifang didn't expect that this simple counter-clear could produce such good results.

His initial idea for this wave was just to try if he could catch someone who was forced to come out to find an opportunity.

If it were against a first-tier team, Xu Beifang's set of utility would have been thrown, and the opponent's B-pass fire would have been thrown.

Tyloo's reaction was still not fast enough.

Got two kills, Xu Beifang wasn't greedy for guns either, listened to the opponent's action of trying to mix in the smoke, and directly threw a grenade toward the banana road.

HP-40!

"Sss~" Danking originally just wanted to try a spray, but not only didn't get a kill, but became half-blood.

This wave of offensive, the difficulty became very great again.

Time was still 50 seconds, but the smoke grenade near the wooden barrel blocked the vision, and it was a 3v5 clutch.

BnTeT didn't want to expose the offensive intention, could only wait for the near-point smoke to dissipate.

But at that time, time had reached 25 seconds, they didn't have any information in the A area, could only forcefully play a wave of offensive in the B area.

This wave of offensive was very chaotic, even only exchanged for one B-area member during the gunfight.

They didn't even have a chance to plant the bomb.

"The opponent's counter-clear timing is too good." Danking said.

The three of them were just split by this wave of utility, and this set of combination punches made them have no room to fight back.

BnTeT was thinking: "Still played a bit hesitantly, or rather, shouldn't have been so cautious in the banana road, leaving them a set of complete utility, and we forgot to guard against it."

From their perspective, the opponent's wave was just the timing being just right, using counter-clear to break their offensive rhythm.

But from Vitality's

"Great play, Beifang!" JackZ exclaimed.

Xu Beifang was defending B alone; even when the opponents executed a full explosive bomb attack and he traded one for one, his teammates on the front line would still praise him for playing well.

A 1vN situation on the front line is extremely difficult.

But Xu Beifang not only survived, he also took out two of their members and even trapped the rest of them inside Banana.

Defending the B site alone like this, he put on a performance worth several people.

It was truly a bit exaggerated.

The analyst standing behind them also said excitedly: "This is the charm of Nice. His aggressive playstyle gives the opponents the illusion that there are ten thousand people behind him. That's why, during a match, sometimes letting him solo-defend an area can maximize his potential."

As an analyst, he not only analyzes match demos but has also briefly analyzed the psychology of certain players.

He has seen many players' evaluations of Xu Beifang in post-match interviews.

Those players often complain with pained expressions: "I don't know why Nice dares to play like that."

When reviewing Vitality's demos, he was often surprised by some of the choices Nice made when playing solo.

Because it looked exactly as if he had several people following him, completely unconcerned with the opponents' actions.

He felt back then that if Nice were defending a position alone, he would definitely be able to put on an outstanding performance.

Now that he has truly joined Vitality, this thought has indeed been verified.

Judging by the opponents' actions, they never expected that 20 seconds into the round, the B site had been solo-defended the entire time, and apEX only rotated to cover B after they had gained a man advantage.

apEX offered a fist bump to Xu Beifang and also praised him: "Not bad. It seems you didn't just spend your vacation designing that insane map."

"I'm very diligent, okay?" Xu Beifang smiled.

apEX continued to arrange: "Let's play a few rounds normally first. Once the economy is built up, Beifang, you go solo A for a few rounds, and then I want to see the possibility of letting Zywoo solo A."

"That's not on the same level of difficulty," Xu Beifang smiled.

The A site on this map is a large area; it's not like Banana, which only has one path.

Going A1, going Link, or going A2 are all options.

The difficulty will definitely be multiplied.

Of course, when defending A solo, it's generally assumed that you're letting them take Link.

That way, the pressure will be relatively smaller, and there will be some room to maneuver.

Zywoo didn't speak either, just smiled; he would just follow the arrangements.

In the following rounds, Vitality played very cautiously.

Even though Tyloo had saved up enough economy, they still lacked organization on the front line.

Especially with the double-B defense, the coordination between Xu Beifang and JackZ was incredibly smooth.

They were always able to use different methods to gain the same advantage in Banana.

Tyloo was truly furious, but they were also truly helpless.

A few days ago, when playing against those European tier-two teams, they still had some excuses they could find.

After all, the latency was so high that sometimes they lost direct aim duels just because of that little bit of lag.

But in today's match, they knew very clearly.

The score deficit wasn't a latency issue; they didn't even have any opportunities for direct aim duels.

Double-peeking behind the Banana slate, catching people with one-way smokes, double-peeking around the Yellow Wall corner...

Flooding the area with utility to push out at the first timing, then flashing back to clear the screen at the second timing...

They were being played into a stupor.

They barely even had a chance to fire their weapons; in this situation, they couldn't blame the latency.

And they also knew very clearly that Vitality was playing with great restraint.

Because Xu Beifang was in Banana, he rarely came out to set the tempo, playing much more steadily than he had in the past.

The score gap between the two sides widened before they even realized it.

On Vitality's side, after stabilizing their economy, apEX once again had Xu Beifang solo-defend B.

Perhaps because they had been played into a stupor in Banana during the previous rounds, Tyloo chose a cowardly tactic—avoiding Xu Beifang's position.

And then they made apEX feel the joy of a 4A setup.

The 4-man A site defense was like a wall cast of steel; Tyloo had no way to shake it at all.

The score reached 11:2 before they knew it.

Xu Beifang still solo-defended B at the second timing as per his usual habit.

But during these few rounds of attacks, Tyloo had also figured out Vitality's patterns.

After all, attacking the A site at the second timing every round and running into 4 people, they should have been able to conclude that.

Although Xu Beifang's individual ability was also very strong, they felt that 4A was still harder to deal with.

Just as JackZ returned to Link, Xu Beifang quickly heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the barrels in Banana.

However, this time he didn't step on the box; instead, he threw a B-tunnel smoke directly, letting the opponents in a little bit.

The opponents were also pros, with far more experience than ladder players.

Xu Beifang's idea was still the same: he had to use several different playstyles so that the opponents couldn't capture his information.

After throwing the smoke grenade from the bomb site, Xu Beifang didn't stay in place but moved silently to under the B site platform.

The analyst watched Xu Beifang's operation from behind and said to XTQZZZ: "This is where Nice is shrewd. He must have stood on the platform specifically to throw this smoke."

"Is there some significance to that?" XTQZZZ had game understanding, but he wasn't as quick as the young man when it came to the finer details.

The analyst explained: "If you were attacking Banana, would you judge the opponent's position from the trajectory of the smoke grenade?"

"Of course I would; you have to collect specific information."

"That's why I said, this is false information that Nice deliberately put out. He wants the opponents to think he's at the bomb site, when in reality he's already touched under the platform. At this point, the opponents won't pay much attention to this spot, and he'll have a few opportunities."

Before the analyst even finished speaking, he saw Xu Beifang's screen flash white.

Xu Beifang couldn't react to the opponent's pop-flash at all.

But the training he did during his vacation, frantically grinding the 'Instance-One Man Guards the Pass', gave him an instinctive reaction to this kind of clutch situation.

When defending solo, sometimes staying alive is more useful than getting a kill.

Xu Beifang decisively walked forward a few steps and mixed directly into the smoke grenade.

After waiting for a full two seconds, he reported the information to his teammates before his vision slowly recovered.

Xu Beifang, hidden in the smoke, carefully collected the nearby footsteps—

Two at the bomb site, and one had just rushed into the smoke, which meant there were at most two left behind in Banana.

Xu Beifang glanced at the mini-map to confirm his approximate position and where his barrel was pointing.

Adjusting slightly, he strafed out directly.

At first glance, he saw a terrorist jumping in mid-air, throwing a flash toward CT spawn.

Tie Dan didn't have a very good position this round, so he wasn't part of the initial utility exchange; fully loaded with utility, he was responsible for this final round of explosive bomb acceleration.

After a round of utility was thrown, his teammates successfully entered the bomb site.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to carry the bomb over to plant it, he suddenly saw a fly-head emerge from the smoke.

Xu Beifang: You son of a...!

Danking already felt suffocated at this moment, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "He's mixed into the smoke!!"

But this couldn't stop his impending death.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot Danking】

After taking out Tie Dan, Xu Beifang also said loudly in the voice chat: "There are three more at the bomb site, but I've intercepted the bomb!"

apEX's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Stall for a few more seconds, we're already rushing over."

Xu Beifang knocking the bomb away this round was truly critical.

Once the bomb was dropped, the opponents' formation fell into complete chaos.

Once they were in chaos, they had a chance to find the points where the opponents would make mistakes.

Xu Beifang, however, didn't follow apEX's instructions; he was already in the middle of a very chaotic battle and had to prioritize dealing with the situation in front of him.

After taking out the bomb carrier, he immediately took the initiative to scout toward Banana.

Although he had taken out the bomb carrier, he himself had become the piece of cheese caught in a pincer attack.

He wide-peeked Banana at the first timing and didn't find any enemies, so he immediately turned his head.

A terrorist rushed out of the smoke. Xu Beifang was already highly focused, and as he turned, he happened to see the opponent peek out; he crouched, instantly counter-strafed, and fired.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot Attacker】

Just as he finished firing, a second one rushed out of the smoke.

Xu Beifang hurriedly adjusted his aim again and narrowly took the opponent out.

【Nice used AK47 to kill BnTeT】

CY1, who had originally wanted to follow up with a trade kill, hesitated for a second upon seeing this situation.

As a result, he was caught in a dilemma.

He waited a moment, then peeked out again.

He saw that Xu Beifang was already standing on top of the barrels, his pre-aim was completely off, and by the time he wanted to adjust, it was already too late.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot summer】

"This guy is just exaggerated!!" Baicai complained.

Xiaogui watched the kill feed in the top right corner, feeling helpless as well.

Although Xu Beifang had caught the timing very well this round, he had also cleared out the A site at the second timing, knowing that the opponents were all rotating from CT spawn.

He shouted instructions on the fly, telling his teammates to counter-attack Banana and take Xu Beifang out.

Then they could go to A to plant the bomb, and they might still have a chance relying on the clutch.

But the problem was, three against one and they still lost.

The famous quote from the Roaring Heavenly Venerable was already playing rapidly in his mind.

Looking at the vastly disparate score gap above his head, Xiaogui sighed secretly in his heart.

He understood that the result of this practice match might be much more brutal than they had imagined!

No excuses, I got hooked on Palworld. Played for a while in the afternoon and felt like I ran out of time. At least 14,000 tomorrow.
