Chapter 325: Absolutely don't bet on VP players!

~17 min read 3,337 words

"The match is over!" Wanjiqi shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room, "Vitality didn't give Heroic any chance, and successfully won this BO3 victory 2-0!"

"This battle that started with taunting, Heroic didn't even get a double-digit score on a single map, and was ended by Vitality in a crushing manner."

Wanjiqi's voice was full of joy. Today's match was the last round of the group stage. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated, which is quite cruel.

If you fall in the first few days of the group stage, it is naturally a lack of strength, and it ends after complaining a few words after the match.

But if you lose the confrontation in the last round, it is really too regrettable.

This is basically the same truth as "the biggest loser in e-sports is the runner-up".

Just one step away from entering the big offline stage, it will really make people feel indignant.

The director's lens was given to the Heroic match room.

After losing the match, the Swedish legendary player Friberg's face was still flat, but the disappointed expression revealed inadvertently made Wanjiqi sigh a little.

Dou Dou's voice made Xu Beifang feel a warmth in his heart.

"Are you sure this guy isn't cheating?"

The "upset" expected by a small part of the audience in the forum before the match did not appear.

"Hahahaha!"

Sure enough, in this BO3, Vitality showed their strong strength and beat Heroic until they were confused.

This really makes people feel very comfortable.

After all, this is a player he likes very, very much.

apEX's face turned black when he heard this, and he gave him a punch directly: "Thinking about smearing me outside every day!"

But Dou Dou still remembered this point, and kept thinking about getting this breath out in his heart.

But based on his understanding of his own teammates, this is likely Zywoo's careful consideration.

After all, blameF didn't leak any information, Zywoo's shot was illogical.

You must know that shox is also a top-tier clutch master, but the strength in the clutch is only thinking, and he can roughly guess the opponent's position.

Zywoo's thinking in this clutch was too big a blow to them.

"Actually, it's quite simple." Zywoo smiled humbly, and then explained, "At first I was walking in the police house, I only had one smoke and one defuse kit in my hand, his movements were quite fast, so I chose to seal one side, defusing the bomb wanting to wait for him to make a mistake."

He even felt self-reproach in his heart for not playing well, failing the good situation Xu Beifang played with three kills on Banana Road.

But Zywoo could not only determine the opponent's position through information, but even avoided various possibilities. What is the difference between this and wallhacking?

Xu Beifang put his arm on Zywoo's shoulder, scratching Shushu's thousand-layer neck with his hand: "Valve will post tomorrow: You continue to talk, I'm listening."

"Are we really playing the same game?"

Listening to Zywoo breaking down his thinking, shox and JackZ were both a bit confused.

As a result, Zywoo fired a shot into the smoke when time was running out, directly wearing blameF to death.

At this moment, they seemed to have returned to their student days, feeling the feeling of knowledge floating across the cerebral cortex.

shox and JackZ muttered together.

At the moment of winning the match, apEX threw his headset directly and raised his hands to cheer.

For players of their age, they could retire at any time, and every match played is one less.

That clutch Zywoo sniped and wore through without information. At that time, they were all stunned.

"A clutch, can think of so many things?"

Xu Beifang hugged apEX: "Thanks Dou Dou, it seems I can't say you are the team bully in the post-match interview today."

JackZ went to high-five Zywoo, and then asked with amazement in his eyes: "Shushu, how did you play that clutch? Just blind luck?"

"But blameF was too calm, he calculated that you wouldn't really defuse." Xu Beifang echoed, "So you took the initiative to clear the coffin area."

That 1V1 bullfight, the opponent's calmness made them all think they were going to be reversed.

Although blameF taunted in Map 1, it was more aimed at himself, and had nothing to do with his teammates.

"The opponent probably knows I have a defuse kit. He can bet the first time, but definitely can't bet the second time, so he must be standing in a position that can follow up within 4 seconds. There is no one at the coffin, so it can only be the police house. In the case of smoke, only the right side of the police house smoke can fire and follow up at the first time the smoke dissipates, so I wore a shot at that place."

shox also came over to praise: "Yeah, how did you adjust this parameter, tell us about it, I almost bowed down to you at that time."

"Take it!!!" He shouted excitedly to the teammates next to him, "Let them taunt us in Map 1, now continue to shout!"

Wanjiqi really hopes to see Friberg's career end brilliantly, ending in flowers and applause.

At that time, I was only amazed during the match, and was very curious about how Zywoo did it. Now that the match is over, I finally have time to explore it.

Of course, it might also be luck.

But no matter if it's the prediction before the match or the expectation in the heart, he still hopes Xu Beifang can win more.

"Let's go, go shake hands with the opponent." apEX took the lead in doing business after the teammates shared their emotions.

"Should we two report him?"

The room was full of laughter.

Zywoo nodded and continued: "Then I didn't rush, even pulled back an angle, confirming he didn't have the idea of coming to the coffin."

His face was full of smiles. blameF's taunt in the match was very targeted. After being taken by them, he needs to pay the price.

Just like apEX, if he taunts the opponent in the match and is finally defeated, he will have nothing to say.

Now let's see if the opponent can afford to lose.

apEX quickened his pace, he couldn't wait.

When Vitality walked out of the match room, they saw a group of professional players surrounding the studio not far away, seeing Xu Beifang cast his gaze.

A group of people waved at him, Huo Zai even gave him a thumbs up.

Today's confrontation, the program effect was full, and they watched it very happily.

On the way, he also heard the sound of the commentator coming from the studio:

"Today's BO3 confrontation, Vitality once again proved the strength of their Inferno, and Nice's performance on Banana Road let us know that he can not only play aggressive playstyles, but also play very well in conservative defense. Heroic can't handle his point."

Heroic's purpose is very strong. The English commentator saw it quite clearly when the match was going on.

Heroic is not a team that likes to hit A, but today's Inferno confrontation was completely avoiding B Site.

In this case, Zywoo withstanding the pressure is one thing, and Xu Beifang being able to rotate back comfortably every time on B Site is also quite important.

The English commentator looked at the Heroic player seat and found that except for Friberg, the other members were dejected, and comforted them a few words.

"Actually, to be honest, Heroic's performance in this BO3 today is still okay. In the early stage of Mirage, and several rounds of Inferno, they were very eye-catching."

Wanjiqi thinks Heroic's targeted playstyle today actually played a lot of roles.

Such as the playstyle of giving utility to Vitality's position several times at the start of Mirage.

And several speed-ups in Inferno, all hit Vitality's weak defensive area with one punch.

But some netizens heard Wanjiqi's evaluation and laughed in the live broadcast room.

【Very eye-catching, referring to not having a double-digit score on a single map】

【I didn't expect Heroic to bite the bullet and avoid Beifang in Map 2. They don't think they are very smart, do they?】

【Heroic watches too few matches. Beifang is not impossible to limit, but if you limit Beifang, you have to face Zywoo on the front】

【Is Zywoo strong? Heroic is already full of bags】

Xu Beifang's strong personal brilliance often suppresses Zywoo's brilliance.

Even because he played too well on the front, it often makes Zywoo not very noticeable.

But Vitality's old fans understand that Vitality has this result today, all relying on Zywoo and Beifang complementing each other. If they lose even one person, it is a situation of one star leading four.

Vitality today is a playstyle mainly based on dual cores, and even many times it is three cores.

It's just that the last core is not very stable, generally depending on the state of the remaining three.

These netizens think Heroic's idea of specifically avoiding Xu Beifang to hit A is completely looking down on their cute Shushu.

Under the director's lens, although both sides controlled their expressions, they could still see the gap in mood from their demeanor.

Xu Beifang reached out to Friberg first.

"Played very well, looking forward to the next confrontation." He is not very familiar with Friberg, or rather he is not very familiar with most Danes, so he can only use this formulaic speech.

Friberg heard the opponent's praise and responded with a smile: "You also played very well, I couldn't even play you on Banana Road today."

Actually, it's not just Banana Road, his performance on both maps was relatively poor.

It's just that as the former Banana Road King, he still has some obsession with Banana Road.

The task the team arranged for him today was just to make Xu Beifang unable to press out.

He also tried to operate.

Although he could limit Xu Beifang for a while with some routine understanding, in several games, he finally didn't play Xu Beifang.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that today's young people are too perverted, and he can no longer keep up with the dueling rhythm.

Time is limited, and the two didn't have much communication.

Xu Beifang walked forward two steps and saw Dazhuang's indescribable face.

"Wasn't it quite happy to win the group stage last time? What's the situation now!"

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows and teased blameF directly.

He has played against Dazhuang several times in FPL, at least counting as friends.

Hearing Xu Beifang's teasing, Dazhuang's face turned darker: "If you say it again, I will really let you see the effect of my muscle training!"

Map 1 Mirage, he was also in high spirits, so he taunted Xu Beifang, wanting to interact.

This was not a big problem, who could have thought that they would not get a single point later.

Originally, they won Vitality once in the group stage. Even if they knew the confrontation of BO3 was not at the same level, they were also full of fighting spirit.

But didn't expect to be taken away by Vitality directly with a score of 2-0 in the end. They didn't even take a single map, which is too regrettable.

Originally thought this ESL Cologne would be Heroic, would be the first match for him to rush into the public eye.

But in the end, he fell before the offline stage, which made it difficult for him to have a good mood.

"Hope we can meet again at the Major." Xu Beifang said with a smile.

Although he is very good at handling relationships, the opponent taunted him, so he naturally did a wave of yin-yang weirdness after the match.

Xu Beifang continued to shake hands with others, and saw shox chatting with Friberg. As veterans of the same era, Friberg appeared less and less in their field of vision, and old friends always had some topics to talk about.

Saying goodbye to Heroic, Xu Beifang and his teammates couldn't help but walk towards the studio.

People always like to join in the fun, and they were also very curious about what a group of professional players were doing standing there.

"Just watching the fun?" Xu Beifang said very surprised after getting the answer.

Nalan Tianlu shrugged: "Otherwise what do you think? Our match is already over."

Xu Beifang turned to look at NAVI, S1mple also had a "that's how it should be" expression.

At this point, they already understood the opponents they might encounter next.

These two teams survived, which actually met their expectations.

Although Astralis had a relatively poor state in the previous tournament, Xu Beifang always felt they were acting.

Since the start of the ESL Cologne group stage, Astralis also erupted with amazing state, breaking through all the way, and the state was very fierce.

NAVI here, although they changed a new lineup, there is a difference between their lineup change and Faze's lineup change.

FAZE is unstable, and doesn't understand where their problems lie.

NAVI here is very obvious. S1mple and Electronic are C-ing all year round, Huo Zai is a stable person, and Zeus and Edward's state is too poor.

At this time, leaving a commander and replacing Edward, the front-line firepower really improved a lot.

Except for being hit by the Liquid that found the state on the second day of the group stage, they took down the other days smoothly.

NAVI's new lineup is slowly entering the state, and the first honeymoon period of their lineup seems to be coming.

apEX was invited to the post-match interview, and the rest of Vitality had nothing to do for a while, so they stood together and chatted.

"Nice, your defense at A Site in Mirage today was really exaggerated, one person guarded A, Heroic couldn't do anything about you." Huo Zai praised sincerely, but there was finally a trace of envy in his words.

He once belonged to this type of big brother, but in the past two years, because of some ketogenic diet, he made his temper very irritable, and his whole state also declined very seriously.

He himself doesn't belong to that kind of thinking player. In the case of the front-line marksmanship not performing well, many playstyles are not so powerful.

So seeing this kind of gunner performance, he always couldn't help but recall the past.

"Mainly because Heroic gave opportunities." Xu Beifang smiled, "They have a lot of small routines, but there are also not few mistakes."

Danish CS is desperately learning Astralis, trying to keep up with the big brother's pace.

Heroic is a new star after all. On some maps, default and set tactics are done very well.

But when exploding, there will often be some problems.

Such as movement when attacking, follow-up shooting, point searching order, some points that need to be actively abandoned.

Many can only rely on experience to make up for it.

Except for a few monsters, otherwise you have to rely on constant match review to slowly increase this experience.

This is why some match confrontations, even if they are second-line teams, various tactical routines are relatively eye-catching.

First-line teams' tactics look like just a few sets, and even very formulaic, but when they play, even if the team's big brother doesn't perform, they can win.

This is the gap in on-the-spot processing brought by match experience.

"I hate your humble appearance." S1mple said disdainfully, "Heroic is just playing badly. A group of people pushing together can't beat you alone, if this isn't bad, what is?"

Xu Beifang shook his head and didn't respond to this topic. S1mple always thinks that the things he understands, most professional players should understand.

But he finds it difficult to understand that there is also a gap between professional players.

When the top professional brothers started the tea party, Wanjiqi's live broadcast room also came to the post-match data session that the audience likes most.

"Let's see the post-match data. Map 1 Mirage, this Nice's final 1.47 rating, apEX also hit 1.18, shox is a bit sleepy, but he won several key rounds, the overall effect is quite large, JackZ is a bit mediocre."

After praising Vitality, Wanjiqi turned his attention to Heroic.

"Heroic's problem here is very big. It was actually okay in the first half, both sides played back and forth, but starting from the second half, Heroic's defense didn't get a single point, which is too perverted."

"BlameF definitely has to carry a pot today. After all, as the team's commander, he didn't grasp Vitality's offensive direction accurately, and the tactical adjustment was not good enough."

"Actually, there were many rounds later where Heroic didn't trade people on the front, and directly collapsed. There were too many rounds where they couldn't even try to rotate back."

"For example, at 30 seconds, Vitality took B Site, and only one person was traded. In this kind of 2 vs 4 or 2 vs 5, how do you let them play?"

【Dazhuang is definitely impersonating a professional commander today】

【Can only say that the way of heaven is reincarnation, like to shout!】

【It's okay, Dazhuang has data, and it's quite good】

【Dazhuang's command is a pile of shit. I didn't understand this defense not getting a single point. Betting 10 times on B could get a point】

【Feels not as good as letting Wanjiqi command】

Looking at the teasing in the barrage on the secondary screen, Wanjiqi said: "But it's mainly because Little Xu played well in the second half. Everyone who watched it all the way saw it. Little Xu's charge in the second half was like something, quack follow-up shooting."

Wanjiqi clicked on the T-side data of Mirage.

"This Beifang's offensive rating is 1.64, really unsolvable, the front was all rushed to rot."

"Dazhuang's command actually sought changes in the second half, but when the barrage knew it was going to change, they started to change, it was already too late."

Wanjiqi still feels very regrettable. As a commentator, he is looking forward to more new playstyles and styles in professional matches, so that his commentary can be more energetic.

"Okay, let's cast a vote for Little Xu's MVP, and then look at what foreign audiences think of this match."

Wanjiqi actually expected the comments in the HLTV comment section.

But seeing the first one, he still couldn't hold it.

【Hurry up and disband, playing like this, might as well retire on the spot】

Continue to look down:

【Even in this situation, blameF can still maintain excellent data, this is simply a talented player】

"This guy's yin-yang weirdness is okay!" Wanjiqi couldn't help laughing.

Dazhuang himself is a commander, this playstyle has been criticized by many people, and now because of taunting and being reversed, he is instantly subjected to a lot of ridicule.

"There are people cursing Dazhuang's going out, HLTV comments are all scolding, Dazhuang is really angry this time."

Just as Wanjiqi was about to leave, he saw a comment that made him dumbfounded.

Wanjiqi translated for the audience in the live broadcast room: "This guy said absolutely don't bet on VP players."

"Then someone asked where there are VP players, and this guy answered that Nice used to be VP, he said this would be a good opportunity for him to quit gambling."

"The guy below asked him how much he bet, and the heavyweight came."

"This guy directly couldn't, this comeback silenced this Russian gambler, hahaha."

VP and gamblers have always been connected.

But they didn't expect that after Xu Beifang left VP, he could still be mentioned so far-fetched.

Can only say that gamblers are worthy of being gamblers.

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed numbly.

As for those who didn't laugh, they can only guess why they didn't laugh.
