Chapter 322: Not a single ounce of fatherly love!

~24 min read 4,790 words

"GoHome!"

That shout from Nice in the middle of the match was still echoing in the ears and minds of many watching professional players.

Most of the CSGO tournament schedule is quite tight, but there were only two matches starting at the same time, which meant many teams had to wait before their games.

Of course, not all players waited in the lounge; many liked to go to the studio floor to cheer for players they were familiar with.

Today was the final match of the group stage, and while waiting, everyone was chatting about topics like who would eventually qualify.

But in the clash between Vitality and Heroic, Dazhuang was the first to start taunting, making them feel that the time before today's match wouldn't be boring at all.

Having already finished his own match, Nalan Tianlu listened to this taunt and asked in confusion, "Wait, has he forgotten that Nice came from VP?"

A voice came from behind: "It seems your experience is quite profound."

What kind of talk is that? What kind of talk is that!

Who is being so rude!

The white-haired Nalan Tianlu turned his head to glare at the source of the voice, then saw that muscle-bound man and was physically persuaded.

'Oh, so it's Zeus.'

As the protagonist of the "One Ounce of Fatherly Love" instance, Nalan Tianlu held full respect for these guys who came out of VP.

No matter where these people went, they followed one principle—if the odds are right, they'll even throw the championship away!

Zeus, standing to the side, smiled; he also didn't know why blameF dared to play like that.

Did he think Dazhuang was too humble and too easy to bully?

But that guy Nice is not someone with a good temper.

Sure enough, under their watchful eyes, Xu Beifang guarded A Site alone and completely crushed Heroic.

This slap in the face came so fast that the group of players hanging out in the studio couldn't help but be stunned.

"I told you, why would you provoke him!" S1mple was already laughing heartily.

In the NAVI team, he belonged to the type of player whose back was broken from carrying, and he had no good feelings at all for someone with BlameF's playstyle.

Seeing Xu Beifang start to exert force and slaughter BlameF, he felt a sense of relief inside.

He understood Xu Beifang's strength all too well.

S1mple had previously accepted a fun interview about who he would choose as a teammate if language communication issues were removed.

His first choice was Electronic, after all, he loved this unlucky guy too much.

The second choice was NIKO, and the third choice was Xu Beifang.

Choosing Xu Beifang third wasn't because he thought Xu Beifang's strength ranked third for the rifler position.

It was because Xu Beifang's playstyle was truly aggressive, which had a certain conflict with S1mple's own playstyle.

But if you're talking about strength, he believed Xu Beifang was definitely a T1 or even T0-level rifler.

If you easily provoke this type of player, he will definitely let you see the charm of a star player.

Oh, except for NIKO.

The more anxious this guy gets, the worse he plays.

Although the match had already ended, the members of NAVI were watching with great interest in the studio.

After Nice's five-kill, Heroic didn't give up and attacked A Site again.

Xu Beifang's defense at A Site was like an iron bucket; he killed two people at the front point of the toilet alone and dragged out a significant amount of time. In the end, Heroic forced an attack and was still wiped out.

This made the group in the spectator area click their tongues in wonder.

"Heroic won't end up not getting a single point, will they?" Huo Zai expressed his opinion, then turned his head to look at Nalan Tianlu with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me?" Huo Zai's strange look made Nalan Tianlu feel very uncomfortable.

Huo Zai chuckled: "I'm thinking, is it possible for 'one ounce of fatherly love' to reappear?"

"Are you crazy!"

Nalan Tianlu understood that this meme might never go away for the rest of his life.

However, he also understood that if Heroic just stubbornly kept hitting A, they might not even get the last point of the first half.

Fortunately, Heroic wasn't that stubborn and soon reacted, going to cause trouble at B Site instead.

However, apEX used his strength to tell them—Zywoo's head is not made of dough!

The only prisoner of the Bastille began to exert force crazily with an AWP, sniping Heroic until they were dizzy and confused. Later, they even threw their utility poorly, making the professional players in the studio feel like it was unwatchable.

In the end, the first half of the match ended, with the score locked at 9:6.

The score was locked in a classic posture.

BlameF looked at those numbers, then looked at his teammates' "no strangers allowed" expressions, as if convincing himself:

"Mirage is a CT-sided map; for me to get 6 points on the offense is actually quite good."

"After we switch sides later, it will be our home field. As long as we win the pistol round, we can tie the score, and then we can start exerting force and take the lead."

Friberg listened to Dazhuang's self-talk and sighed inwardly.

Taunting when you're ahead can be inspiring.

The premise is not to let the opponent seize the opportunity to taunt you back, because that is a huge blow to the team's morale.

Dazhuang was actually right; they got 6 rounds as the offensive side in the first half, which was already a passing score.

But the problem is, they could have gotten more points.

Their rhythm was very smooth, and before Dazhuang's taunt, that wave of consecutive points was very comfortable.

Since he taunted, the rhythm had returned to Vitality's hands.

It's hard for teammates not to complain in their hearts, "It's because you taunted him that you pissed him off."

Although this kind of complaining is selfish, when in adversity, people always look for reasons from the outside first.

Young people's tempers are also very stubborn, and all their emotions were on their faces, which is why Friberg took the initiative to say a few words to reconcile the team's emotions.

"The opponent's defense in the second half was indeed excellent, but it's not like we can't play. Think carefully, do you really want to end up like Nice shouted, or do you want to go to the big stage of the offline venue in two days?"

Friberg's words hit the nail on the head.

Although young people's tempers are stubborn, it's not easy to go from a casual player to a professional player and walk step by step to this point.

As the new stars of Denmark, they finally had a chance to enter the offline stage.

They also wanted to shine on the stage and enjoy the flowers and applause.

So even if they were speechless about Dazhuang's behavior, they adjusted their breathing at this moment and began to think about how to play the second half.

During the halftime break.

Inside the Vitality match room.

Xu Beifang took off his headset and excitedly said to apEX: "You guys don't know how detailed my forward-push was just now; the opponent never expected me to appear in that position."

apEX waved his hand: "Just hype it up! We don't need to know that many details!"

JackZ covered his eyes and laughed while listening to the two's conversation.

XTQZZZ finally lifted the mute status, walked over, and bumped fists with his teammates one by one: "The first half was played well, there are no big problems overall, and Dou Dou's idea of letting Beifang carry the sniper is very good."

In XTQZZZ's view, the current playstyle of CSGO is moving towards discipline and rigor.

But in the future, everyone will branch out into many systems within this rigorous playstyle.

Nowadays, Vitality still mainly relies on Zywoo as the sniper, but Xu Beifang's sniper rifle is also equally excellent. If they have the energy later, they can form a set of tactics around Xu Beifang's aggressive sniping.

This way, they can switch back and forth between two sets of tactics, making it impossible for the opponent to grasp their style.

"Beifang also played very well, aggressive when he should be, and steady when he should be."

At the end of the first half, Xu Beifang's record was 20/1/7, and his KD ratio was much higher than before.

This is mainly because he was playing with a sniper rifle in the first half, and his overall playstyle was still very aggressive. However, Xu Beifang's feel today was really good; he often stole a shot and ran, and the opponent couldn't do anything about him.

When he switched to a rifle later, he was often guarding 2A, or even playing solo A.

But he could play so well alone; as a coach, what else could he say?

Listening to the coach's praise, the team members were in a very good mood.

apEX clapped his hands at this time, attracting everyone's attention: "Brothers, focus your spirits. Everyone executed the instructions in the first half well. Let's play better on the offense next."

"Even if we lose the pistol round and the opponent ties the score, we must be united and not get discouraged just because the opponent got a few more points."

Xu Beifang also said: "Don't be affected by the opponent's actions. The pressure is all on them. Even if the score is tied or even goes into overtime, we can still take this map."

shox also said: "That's right, the pressure is all on them. Let the opponent see the consequences of taunting our team pet!"

The short halftime break ended, and the two sides swapped sides to enter the second half of the match.

Vitality came to the offensive side.

"Let's play the pistol round like this." apEX gave instructions, "JackZ, drop two P250s, let them take one each, and then you buy a flashbang. Use the flashbang to send shox to rush the construction site immediately. Be careful of their double-boost at B Site."

"Then our active direction is A Site. Don't be too anxious in the early stage. We'll wait a while at Mirage, see if the CT will push forward. If they don't push, we'll start pushing forward at the 1-minute mark."

After saying that, apEX equipped a smoke and two flashbangs, preparing to use them in the explosive attack on A Site.

The countdown ended, and Xu Beifang entered Mirage according to the tactics, starting to set up his aim and wait.

"Vitality is playing the pistol round very slowly. They want to default and wait for the pushing CT, but Heroic is not in a hurry. After scouting once at the start, they are all aiming from long range."

"The time has reached 1 minute and 20 seconds. shox actively peeked from the sandbags to find someone. The timing was very good, and he directly headshot es3tag and left him crippled, but he couldn't follow up with that shot, which is a bit of a pity."

"However, in the second timing, Heroic took the initiative to flash and counter-clear." Wanjiqi entered the state, "But shox headshot one with his pistol directly. This counter-clear seems a bit failed. Dazhuang waited for a timing in the second timing, shox just happened to turn his head and was taken out. Dazhuang understands what the opponent is thinking too well."

A round of gunfire at B Site, shox and the opponent traded 1 for 1.

"There should be two more at B Site, one was headshot by me, and the other is Dazhuang."

shox passed all the information, letting apEX think about how to play.

The opponent's playstyle is probably a 2A2B formation at this stage.

According to the paper information, B Site should be an easier area to attack, after all, there is a low-health CT here.

However, after considering it, apEX finally didn't go to B: "Let's hit A. They are under great pressure at B Site now. Maybe by the time we rotate over, it will already be a 3B defense."

The main problem is that the early formation is biased towards A Site, and the rotation is slightly delayed, making it difficult to play later.

The CT's rotation speed on this map is too fast.

"Vitality is pushing up together from A Small, preparing for a speed push, but the CT at the bomb site, NaTosaphiX, jumped and scouted the information, an A Small explosive grenade." Wanjiqi gasped after watching.

Because he watched that explosive grenade, it was stuffed directly into the center of the three people at A Small.

This grenade is guaranteed to deal at least 100 damage.

NaTosaphiX even boldly pulled out to peek and shot twice, and Xu Beifang's health had already become single digits.

JackZ and Zywoo were also down to half health.

"Hand grenade plus point-shot damage, the main force of the terrorists has already become half-health, and the CT at the bomb site is still operating!"

"JackZ, who came over to pull the gun line, was taken away directly. The CT at the bomb site is in the zone, circling around the cover to repeek and hit the toilet."

Wanjiqi's voice suddenly increased: "But Nice's P250, one shot directly headshot the CT at the bomb site!"

The low-health Xu Beifang fully exerted his task, directly rushing into the bomb site to help find people.

"Trash can!!" After hearing the footsteps, he immediately fed the information back to his teammates.

The next second, someone peeked out from the trash can and shot at him.

"Bang!"

【blameF+NaTosaphiX used usp to kill Nice】

Xu Beifang's reaction was already very fast, but unfortunately, his health was really too low, and he was taken out with one shot.

However, Zywoo did not live up to his information. The moment Xu Beifang was taken out, he didn't let BlameF have an easy time either.

"Bang!"

【ZywOo used P250 headshot to kill BlameF】

However, at the same time he died, Xu Beifang also heard the sound of gunfire from the side and shouted urgently in the voice chat: "There is another one at A Long!"

The rotation on the map Mirage is really too fast. Now both sides have had a round of gunfire, and the number of people has come to 2 vs 2.

Although there are 30 seconds left, I don't know where the remaining person is rotating back to. In fact, the difficulty of operation is still very high.

Xu Beifang arrived at the spectator area and could only watch his teammates operate quietly.

shox reminded: "There is a low-health one at B Site, actually we can turn around and hit B."

But apEX didn't respond, because the two of them didn't have much health either.

"Mute first, see if the opponent will make a mistake." apEX said, he still wanted to hit A.

Both sides stopped their actions, and the map briefly quieted down.

"apEX supplemented the trash can smoke and bank fire in the second timing, but didn't take the opportunity to launch an attack. The CT at B Site has rotated back to the trash can and is now hiding in the smoke grenade."

"In the second timing, the terrorists suddenly lost movement, making stavn at A Long feel something was wrong, and he could only take the initiative to come and look at A Small."

Seeing stavn's actions, Wanjiqi also became nervous.

Time passed second by second, and stavn's action was exactly the goal Vitality wanted to achieve.

But, Zywoo only had one chance to shoot.

If this shot didn't hit, then the opportunity to rotate would be gone, and Vitality would have to bite the bullet and find someone to engage in a firefight.

stavn pulled sideways to look under the platform, and saw a terrorist holding a P250 looking at him.

It's over!

stavn didn't expect the opponent to aim directly at him in this position, and was suddenly panicked.

He immediately pulled back, trying to return to A Long again.

But the crisp headshot sound still brought him back to reality.

"Pop!"

【ZywOo used P250 headshot to kill stavn】

"The half-health Zywoo is operating again, P250 took away stavn with one shot, Zywoo seized the rare opportunity in this clutch!"

"Although Beizige died early because of pulling the gun line, Heroic can't be happy too early, because Vitality still has a Zywoo!"

Wanjiqi was stunned.

He simply didn't know how to evaluate Zywoo; his consciousness is truly top-tier.

This time he didn't take the initiative to find stavn, just aiming at A Long from under the platform.

In Wanjiqi's eyes, this decision is the most reasonable, most rational, and safest playstyle.

If he were given the information and analyzed it from a God's perspective, he could also make this judgment.

But the problem is, he is in God's perspective, knowing Heroic's situation, to be able to make this judgment.

But Zywoo could judge that the opponent would peek out from this position from the limited information.

And at such a small angle, he could also catch the opponent with one shot.

This is really terrifying!

After his teammate was killed, only the veteran Friberg remained, trying to support the falling building.

He took the initiative to mix out of the trash can smoke.

Already low on health, he could only try to use the aiming point to gamble that he could kill the opponent.

He stuck to the far left of the car position and aimed directly. From his angle, there is a large crossing point from under the platform to the bomb site. His position is very deep and not easy to search.

Although Friberg is no longer the hero he once was, the Heroic crowd could only watch Friberg's operation nervously.

2 vs 1 clutch, but the last person has not been seen for a long time.

The unknown result still made the Vitality crowd a little nervous.

After Zywoo got the kill, he didn't wait for apEX at the back, but took the initiative to push forward.

He wanted to clear the A bomb site, so that even if he was taken out, apEX would still have room to operate.

Zywoo jumped up silently from under the platform, and then started a detailed search.

Bank, bomb site, trash can, car head...

"Pfft..."

The sound of the usp rang out, and the moment Zywoo was hit, he turned his head subconsciously.

"Pop!"

【ZywOo+shox used P250 headshot to kill Friberg】

"Wow!!! The 35-health Dage turned his head and headshot Friberg in one shot!" Wanjiqi held his head and looked amazed, "This person is already challenging the limits of humanity. He is no longer human."

"P250 three headshots, three kills, he really doesn't reason at all."

"Everyone who appeared in his field of vision, and even those who didn't appear in his field of vision, were headshot by him. apEX doesn't even need to plant the bomb, this round is already won!"

Wanjiqi summarized: "Heroic finally solved this lock-guy, but the opponent still has a 'Transparent World', how can this be played?"

"Looking at the barrage, some people are teasing that Beifang's state today seems to have returned to the VP period, and then Zywoo used his strength to tell Beifang that this is no longer VP, your brother can also stand up and perform!"

【Shushu he did it!】

【Is Zywoo just walling? Just walling?】

【Iron lock, no washing】

【The P250s of the two Vitality brothers are both terrifying. If you give them a chance, they can really operate.】

【Terrifying Dazhuang, just like an automatic trigger】

【I was dumbfounded by this last shot, blind vision, one shot to headshot Friberg】

【Beifang's aiming is relatively wild, Zywoo's aiming is very steady, like flowing water】

"NIIIICE!!!"

When Zywoo headshot the last member, cheers erupted in the voice chat instantly.

Xu Beifang raised his hands high: "Take off!!!"

shox praised: "This turn and headshot, Shushu is too exaggerated."

"Woohoo~" JackZ shouted, "We have enough pressure on the front! The match is about to enter our rhythm!"

On the contrary, apEX, who is usually the most manic, just shouted along when Zywoo got the highlight.

Now that their morale is high, there is no need to do any extra actions.

apEX felt that if they just followed this rhythm and steadily attacked to score, they would be able to take Map 1 smoothly.

As a commander, he has to save energy for Map 2, otherwise his throat definitely won't be able to withstand the pressure.

The match entered a tactical timeout again, which was called by Heroic.

They were beaten up by Xu Beifang in the first half, and they adjusted in the middle, correcting their attitude.

The early confrontation in the second half didn't have any big problems, and they even had some advantages.

In the first round of gunfire, they dealt with Nice, and stavn's position was still very mysterious, which could form a crossfire with teammates.

But how were they broken one by one by Zywoo?

As the turning point of the game, stavn felt that he played reasonably well.

In the case of the opponent suddenly muting, he caught a timing to go out and scout.

But the moment he saw someone, he was already pulling back, and he was still headshot directly.

This is really helpless.

Friberg is even more innocent, letting him hit a big back.

But Zywoo only gave him one chance, turned his head and headshot him, which is outrageous.

After losing the pistol round in the second half, Heroic called a timeout, intending to cool down Vitality's feel.

Second round of the second half.

After considering, the CT chose to force buy. blameF performed a double-boost with his teammates at B Site. He used a Hero Galil, wanting to try to hit someone sneaking out from the short pipe.

The CT didn't throw any utility at the short pipe at the start, just intending to let people out to duel.

blameF aimed at the headshot line of the short pipe, ready to fire at any time.

Then suddenly he saw a terrorist sliding out from the short pipe.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 headshot to kill blameF】

"Da da da~"

【Nice used AK47 wallbang to kill stavn】

Xu Beifang used a pre-aim, plus a subsequent burst of wallbang spray, directly taking away two members of B Site.

Vitality decisively accelerated the B Site. Friberg struggled slightly, but was ridden and hit by apEX with a MAC-10.

The remaining two at A Site saw this situation and could only save their Desert Eagles.

But the Desert Eagles they saved didn't play any role in the third round of the second half. apEX even snatched the title of ECOtezhongbing from blameF, using that MAC-10 to kill crazily.

The score reached 12:6.

stavn looked at blameF. Since Dazhuang started taunting, they hadn't been able to get a single point.

Vitality's continuous offensive scoring made their atmosphere very oppressive.

stavn suddenly had an idea in his mind: "We won't get a single point later, will we?"

After this idea popped up, he felt an inexplicable panic.

The classic scene of Nalan Tianlu being reversed by VP is still fresh in the memory of most CSGO players.

If they don't get a single point today, he can imagine how fierce the discussions on the forum will be tomorrow.

stavn shook his head, threw that dangerous idea out of his mind, and then followed the commander's instructions to start defending A Long.

But while he was hanging at A Long, before getting any information about the opponent, various utility sounds and gunfire had already come from B Site.

"B Site speed up, rotate back quickly!" The teammate's voice was very anxious, and stavn also started to rush to B Site at the first time.

【Friberg used M4A4 headshot to kill apEX】

But after getting the kill, Friberg had no happy emotions in his heart.

Because while hitting apEX, he was also swept to a thread of health by apEX's MAC-10.

Sure enough, the follow-up shooting from the long pipe came very quickly.

"Da da da!"

【Nice+apEX used AK47 to kill Friberg】

Because there were several short guns in hand, apEX directly accelerated B Site in this round. The first round of personnel exchange was not bad. After Xu Beifang completed the follow-up shooting, he didn't stop his actions.

"Ding~"

The opponent's two consecutive flashbangs exploded, making Xu Beifang unable to open his eyes.

Fortunately, his position control was good, he didn't push to the open space, and directly shrank back to be safe.

After recovering his vision, Xu Beifang asked his teammates for another flashbang.

Then he peeked to the right, and immediately saw a CT next to the pillar covering his eyes with his hands.

"Da da da!"

【Nice+ZywOo flashbang used AK47 headshot to kill es3tag】

"Good flash!" Xu Beifang praised, and continued to push forward to search points rapidly.

blameF was throwing utility for the short pipe at B1 level at the start of this round. He didn't expect the long pipe to have already engaged, and he couldn't help in the early firefight.

After es3tag was taken out, he thought about it and didn't stand out to aim, but shrank to the right side of B1 level, wanting to wait for the opponent to push over, catch a timing to let one pass, and then instantly hit two.

Xu Beifang's point searching speed was very fast, and he soon cleared the bomb site.

There was a smoke grenade given by JackZ at B2 floor, so he didn't need to worry about the top of his head.

However, he didn't relax his vigilance, because on this map, the basic default formation is 2A3B.

B Site usually has 3 people standing.

Pressing TAB to look at the record, he found that Dazhuang was not dead, so he became even more vigilant.

Bringing in Dazhuang's thinking, he felt that the opponent might be at B1 level or the entrance of B1 level, and would definitely not go far.

Xu Beifang was very careful.

He searched bit by bit, segmenting pre-aiming and shaking, and the whole person was quite cautious.

blameF aimed firmly at the crossing point, watching Xu Beifang reveal half of his back, and didn't rush to fire.

Xu Beifang shrank back again.

The next second.

That half of the back pulled towards himself.

"Bang!"

blameF's perspective seemed to be hit by a high-speed truck, and he was instantly killed.

Dazhuang's pain mask was already hung up, and he wailed: "Nicepeek~"

The impact of small-position target acquisition and big-pull, this is the true strength of being an FPL instructor.

Xu Beifang also smiled confidently. Last time he was also disgusted by this way of thinking from blameF.

Now that he understood how blameF probably played, it was relatively easy to deal with.

stavn and NaTosapHix looked at the kill information in the upper right corner, and had no choice, directly entering the gun-saving link.

2 vs 4 clutch, and the control of B1 level was lost, they found it difficult to even get information about the bomb site, and couldn't play at all.

stavn felt the silent atmosphere in the voice chat, and then looked at the hot atmosphere of the Vitality match room in the distance.

He seemed to understand in his heart that his idea might come true.

The following game, sure enough, did not exceed his expectations.

From this round, Heroic began to completely lose their feel.

Vitality's offense also became more wild and decisive. This fast-paced offense would definitely lead to more mistakes.

If it were normal times, Heroic might seize these mistakes and play a beautiful rhythm.

But at this moment their feel was ice-cold. Although they could seize some mistakes to get kills, Vitality's whole team was in hot state. Even if they took out Nice and Zywoo, JackZ and shox and others could stand up and perform.

Just like that, Heroic was pushed flat all the way in the second half.

In the end, the score of Map 1 was locked at 16:6.

Since BlameF started taunting, Vitality won 9 consecutive rounds, and they didn't even get a single point, directly taken away in one wave.

When apEX took off his headset, the smile on his face was incomparably bright.
