Chapter 32

A vigorous wave of A Site explosive bomb attacks unfolded. Neo and the random teammates who were standing in tricky positions on A Site finally did something human and completed the feat of 2 for 2!

What was left for them was a 3 vs 3 retake clutch.

"Hey, what are you doing!!" Michu's voice accusing Pasha came from the voice chat. "Your fan doesn't talk about martial arts, directly rushing through the smoke."

"Smoke grenades aren't walls, you jerk!" Pasha looked at the kill info appearing synchronously in the top right corner and cursed helplessly.

If Michu were in front of him, he was afraid he wouldn't hesitate to give him a punch.

"The bomb planter was burned by the fire I threw, there's still time to operate." Michu said.

Carrying the big sniper and Byali, they retook to the CT spawn together. 2 vs 3 clutch, there was still room to operate.

A glance at the number representing the score on the top—2:10.

Pasha also knew that they had to fight this clutch. The score gap between the two sides was too large. He had underestimated his fan a bit too much. A genius teenager who crushed them with a ping of 130—is this really the level his fan should have?

If they only got these 2 points and lost this ladder match, he could only pray not to run into Vitality in a match, otherwise, apex, one of the big sprayers in CS: GO, wouldn't mess around with you.

The two came to the CT spawn silently, waiting for the opportunity to come. The opponent hadn't fully planted the bomb yet.

It was indeed as Michu said, there was still a certain amount of room to operate.

A flashbang came, and a Terrorist peeked and rushed into the CT spawn. Pasha didn't miss a shot and killed the opponent with one shot.

The number of people on both sides reached 2 vs 2.

Immediately after, the sound of the bomb being planted rang out. He opened the scope of his big sniper and pushed forward all the way, then realized something and directly flicked toward the position of the A1 bomb at the long box!

—Bang!

【paszabliceps used AWP to wallbang headshot kill somebody'sson】

"Don't mess around, don't mess around!!" Neo was quite excited to see the situation become 2 vs 1, but pressed TAB and found the remaining one was 'nice', and suddenly became nervous again.

It wasn't that they were cautious, but nice had already convinced them with his strength in this ladder match. Time and time again of front-point breakthroughs, people were crushed.

Finally, after having a chance to get points, they naturally valued it very much!

"Byali, I'm holding the angle directly from the front. You hide. When we engage, immediately come to trade kill for me." Pasha also knew it wasn't time to play around. Although he was confident he wouldn't be killed, he also made a follow-up plan.

"Ding!"

A flashbang came, and Pasha, covering his eyes, was instantly one-tapped.

Fortunately, it was dangerous but safe. Byali made up for the shot and didn't let them down.

"nice, Byali!" Pasha raised his fist and shouted excitedly.

The score between the two sides had reached 3:10. Pasha even had the feeling of playing against a first-tier team.

"What a pity." Apex spoke up to cheer up his teammates. "My problem, Pasha directly wallbanged me to death. Otherwise, if we were defending the bomb, we wouldn't have lost."

He could see that the average strength gap between the two sides in this ladder match was actually not much, and even the VP four-stack was much stronger on average than them.

But they had nice's strong breakthrough on their side, causing the balance of victory to tilt. nice could break through, could trade kill, and could assist teammates. One person did a lot of things.

It belonged to a top-tier model worker.

"It's okay, Pasha played well." Xu Beifang smiled and replied to Dou Dou on the mic. "Besides, we are the ones with a big lead. Let's put some pressure on VP, okay."

A glance at the barrage. Because he changed it to 【FACEIT crash into VP】 during the match, it attracted quite a few VP fans to come and see the situation.

Such a lopsided suppression, the barrage was discussing frantically.

【Hiss, I sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Is Little Xu already this ruthless?】

【Crushing VP with a ping of 130, are you still human?】

【VP isn't serious, right? Only got this few points.】

【I'm jumping back and forth in Pasha's live stream. Pasha isn't answering audience questions anymore. He's sweating profusely, understand?】

【What is called a top-tier random king!】

【To be honest, watching Little Xu go from a C-tier player to this step, I inexplicably have a sense of accomplishment, just like raising a puppy in my own home.】

You're the puppy... Xu Beifang complained about the netizens' language organization ability and continued to put his heart into the game.

Jinnan Jun, who was lurking in the live stream, recorded the entire match.

Previously, when making Qiezi's recorded broadcast, because of a coincidence, Qiezi was crushed by Little Xu and said the golden sentence, "Losing the first game today, what a good day to climb the ranks..." That episode of CS: GO Fun Sharing Meeting already had 400,000 views on Bilibili, and it was still increasing every day.

He now had this entertainment project of Fun Sharing Meeting in his account, and naturally, he would consider some solid quality videos to keep some hardcore players.

Because Little Xu played FACEIT based on netizens' suggestions, the foreign pro players he occasionally encountered became a big highlight. After Jinnan Jun communicated with Xu Beifang and got authorization, he started his daily recorded broadcast career.

Seeing Xu Beifang run into VP, Jinnan Jun also watched the live stream seriously so that he could edit out the highlights after it ended.

He also found that Little Xu's level was getting higher and higher, and now it had reached a level he couldn't understand.

Crushing a VP professional team, what concept is this?

Although it was only a ladder match and only four VP members, the intensity was still very high. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to be a big brother in a second-tier team!

Recording for more than a month, Jinnan Jun also saw Little Xu occasionally receive inquiries from others about his age and willingness to go professional.

Every time he was asked, he would look forward to it.

But often after knowing his age, there was no follow-up, leaving him, the onlooker, with a full heart of regret.

Is this the difficulty of an older player embarking on a professional path?

Why are you not even willing to try?

As a bystander, Jinnan Jun couldn't see whether there was an end to this muddy road of Xu Beifang's.

Whether the result of his breaking through thorns and thorns is to walk out a bright road, or to enter a dead end...

No one knows this result.

When Jinnan Jun first came into contact with CS: GO, he also had a dream for a period of time.

But he neither had the talent like Danking nor the ability to endure boredom like Little Xu.

Danking stayed in Tyloo by virtue of his talent, while Little Xu, who trained day after day, was still fighting for a professional invitation letter.

He sincerely hoped that Little Xu could find a good team, not out of pity.

Perhaps it was just for the simple truth that hard work pays off.

Come on, teenager, don't give up!

The score of the first half was fixed at 4:11. This result was relatively relaxed for Xu Beifang's side.

After switching sides in the second half, the pistol round was easily won by Dou Dou's triple kill, and the subsequent score reached 15:4.

The VP members who entered match point mode finally performed in one round and clawed back a point.

But before they could catch their breath, Xu Beifang used a front-top in mid, killing two Terrorists while also making the third one heavily wounded.

The offensive side couldn't play at all.

Finally, in a wave of A Site explosive bomb attacks, they were easily handled by Dou Dou, ending VP's painful moment.

"Easy!" Xu Beifang stretched, typed 'gg' on the public screen, and exited the client.

This match was perhaps because he met a professional player he quite liked. His state was quite excited, and his feel throughout the game was also quite good, killing from the beginning to the end.

The final record was 27/3/9, leading Dou Dou, who was second on his side, by 7 kills, and leading Byali, who was first on the opponent's side, by 10 kills.

【What's the situation? Fish-frying in the country, crashing into pros and you're still fish-frying? Can you restrain yourself?】

【Pasha has been beaten until he's confused. Streamer, be careful that the rice seller will find you for an offline PK overnight.】

【Random teammates lay down for the whole game. Why can't I match with someone like the streamer?】

【Can you send Little Xu's crosshair?】

Before Xu Beifang could answer, the room manager Danking came out to work: 【Why don't you use my crosshair?】

"Good guy, Dandan, you're watching the live stream instead of training, right? Be careful of becoming the next KennyS!"

【What! Becoming KennyS, is there such a good thing?】

KennyS is CS: GO's most famous talent-based sniper, but because he relied too much on talent and didn't train, his level has slipped very seriously in recent years.

He didn't pay attention to Danking, because he had already started arguing with the viewers in the live stream.

Xu Beifang's live stream didn't need black fans to set the rhythm. As a room manager, Danking would set it himself. In terms of live streaming, he was a genius!

Turning his head to look at FACEIT, after the match ended, several friend requests had popped up on the right.

The excellent performance in the previous match made everyone notice him.

Xu Beifang agreed to the friend requests of apex and the few VP members, and also agreed to two friend requests from randoms who gave him a good feeling.

As soon as these invitations were agreed to, Dou Dou sent a message.

Xu Beifang recalled Dou Dou's previous inquiry, and there was still some expectation in his heart.

somebody'sson: Let's climb the ranks together when you're free. I still have training, leaving first.

Alright, I thought too much.

Xu Beifang replied bitterly in the chat channel: ok.

Then he received an invitation from Pasha to join the room.

Xu Beifang didn't refuse and agreed to the invitation to join the room.

"hi, my friend!"

As soon as he entered the voice chat, the disappointment in Xu Beifang's heart was swept away by Pasha's hearty voice.

"Your performance just now was quite good. Shall we play together for a while in a five-stack?"

Pasha's idea was very simple: if you can't beat the opponent, then pull the opponent's big brother into your team!

And he had just checked Xu Beifang's record, and was also surprised by those outrageous stats.

So he wasn't worried that 'nice' would crazily carry the previous game and then fail in the next one.

And, thinking of the results the management wanted, and thinking of the problems the team was currently encountering, Pasha listened to nice's comfortable voice, and had some ideas in his heart.

In the morning, Xu Beifang and VP teamed up to play 6 ladder matches. The final result was 5 wins and 1 loss.

The one they lost was running into a team with device plus gla1ve. Both sides played 2 full overtimes before finally deciding the winner.

The high quality of the entire ladder match made the viewers in the live stream a bit dumbfounded.

Pasha was even more determined in his thoughts.

After ending this ladder match, Xu Beifang turned off the live stream under the reluctance of the viewers.

Near noon, he had to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables to cook lunch, and he thought of the netizens reminding him to exercise systematically in the morning. He considered whether to find a gym in the town to practice.

But whether there was a gym in the county town was still a question.

After turning off the live stream, Xu Beifang turned on his mic in TS voice chat and said: "Pasha, let's make an appointment next time."

"What's wrong? Is there something?" Pasha was enjoying the pleasure of lying down and winning. Although he just lost a game, losing to a Danish team wasn't shameful.

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some lunch, and I also need to find a gym to train." Xu Beifang said concisely.

"That's great!!" Pasha was originally still considering it. Hearing that Xu Beifang was also a good guy who liked to exercise, he immediately said: "We intend to let you join the team. What do you think?"

"Ladder match? No problem. Just pull me when you see me online."

Pasha's tone was serious and solemn: "No! You don't seem to understand my words!"

"Now VP officially invites you to join the VP team!"

Xu Beifang seemed to have misheard, and then his whole heart began to beat faster.

"I know this might be a bit abrupt, but we think you fit the current VP very well, so we want to invite you to join VP. You can think about it seriously, no rush to give me an answer today."

In the TS voice chat at this moment, only Pasha's words and Xu Beifang's breathing remained.

Pasha hadn't specifically discussed this matter with the other three, but with such long-term team tacit understanding, Pasha had deliberately commanded 'nice' to fill Morelz's position in these few ladder matches, and they had realized it a bit.

They didn't refute Pasha's decision, because the news from the management was that if there was still no change in the team's results, there was even a possibility that the team would disband.

They urgently needed new combat power to appear, to make the whole team rejuvenate, and to let VP break into the public eye again, instead of playing online matches with teams that couldn't even be considered second-tier every day.

Although 'nice' had been communicating in English, not their native Polish, Pasha had already considered this problem and intended to let 'nice' take the personal breakthrough route in the team, and if there were specific tactics, he could also translate them into English.

For VP, which had no results at the current stage, what pure Polish team, older age, no match experience—it's all nonsense!

They wanted sentiment! But sentiment was gone after the Polish Golden Five separated!

The management wanted results, they didn't care where you were from!

nice being able to carry every game with such high ping had already proven his strength.

And liking to exercise, this further proved that nice was a player with self-control and perseverance.

"I agree! But I don't have a visa, it will take some time." Xu Beifang reacted and hurriedly replied in the voice chat.

Although VP's results are not good now, at least they have a reputation!

He was originally looking for a team, there was no reason to refuse.

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about that visa. We VP train at home when we don't play matches, and only go abroad for training camps. And in another week, we will fly to Huaxia to prepare for IEM Shanghai. You find a time to handle the visa thing. If you need materials, just tell me." Pasha replied, "Is there anything else? If there's nothing, get on FACEIT this afternoon, let's grind for a while."

"Okay."

Exiting the TS channel, Xu Beifang leaned on the chair, looking blankly at the electric scooter key on the table, his mind filled with scenes since his rebirth.

"I've seen many genius teenagers, but this is the first time I've seen a battle-shy lizard..."

"Play 10,000 bots a day, I hope you know when to retreat..."

"What's the use of practicing shooting? Playing well is not as good as matching well..."

"Just practicing shooting casually, can the change be this big? Must have opened something..."

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll cheer for you on the field next year, okay..."

"Your shooting practice plan is too reckless, change it..."

"No talent is no talent, still want to go professional..."

"Age is a bit too old..."

"If only I could be two years younger..."

The scenes in his mind flashed continuously, and then froze in that hearty voice:

"Now VP officially invites you to join the VP team!"

Xu Beifang had already adjusted his mood, and his face became calm again.

Taking the key and walking out the door, no one knew that a raging fire was burning deep in his heart!

July 19, 2018, Thursday.

On his 22nd birthday, Xu Beifang received the best gift VP gave him!

This chapter is a bit late, spent quite a lot of time revising it.
