Chapter 334: Meeting Again is Already the Peak!

"...... The match has been played for 4 rounds, and the score on the field is 2:2......" Wanjiqi's voice sounded in the live stream room, "At the beginning of this Mirage, Astralis chose a playstyle that tended to be unconventional. They chose to start on the offensive side when they had the right to choose sides, which was something we didn't expect."

"You have to know their defense has always been textbook, but they chose to attack actively today, which is obviously something they prepared a lot for before the match, and these preparations also successfully helped them win the pistol round. It's just that Vitality isn't a pushover either. Beifang's heroic FAMAS successfully helped the team chase back the rhythm... but gla1ve's rhythm is still too good, several fast attacks hit the key points... The only fortunate thing is that shox's playstyle is spiritual; he successfully stole the bomb in the last point, not letting Astralis lead in the score."

"It's just that the confrontation at the beginning was played so intensely, it feels like it will be very difficult to handle when entering the long-gun rounds."

Hearing Wanjiqi's commentary, someone in 'NICE Internet Cafe' muttered: "How could it be difficult to handle? Vitality's state is quite good today."

Wanjiqi seemed to be able to hear this fan's words, and immediately said: "Even if Vitality's state is very good, in the confrontations of the first few rounds, it's obvious that apEX was suppressed by gla1ve in terms of personnel deployment. Just now, Astralis's several attacks caught the weak points of Vitality's defense. If it weren't for shox's spiritual bomb steal in this point, Astralis might have been able to get a few more points."

"Facing an old friend, shox's state seems to have warmed up, seemingly finding back the demeanor of the world's number one lurker."

But shox on the field wasn't as light and breezy as Wanjiqi praised. On the contrary, after stealing the bomb, he let out a long, turbid breath.

Astralis was originally a team based on discipline. Just now, when they couldn't win in a frontal confrontation, they relied on communication and cooperation to finally catch a timing.

shox mixed into the opponent's bomb-planting smoke and directly snatched the bomb that had just been planted.

This decision was very bold. If it were a normal day, shox wouldn't choose this way. One could imagine how much pressure he was under.

But there's no need.

And today, facing Astralis, although they only traded blows for a few rounds, shox felt the pressure from Astralis in all aspects.

The sound of gunfire soon came.

The confrontation between Vitality and them basically relied on the details of individual ability, more about catching tactical mistakes, representing that the hexagon of their ability was somewhat uneven, but there must be one item that was very high, for example, Liquid was in the efficiency of trading kills, NAVI was in the individual ability of individual members.

"But something big happened. Vitality set up a combo in B site, but Astralis's idea is to speed up A Long, so Vitality is a bit difficult to handle. A site is currently in an empty state. Although Zywoo is on the way to rotate back, he can't fight it alone."

"I'll take the first gun position, you play by yourself in the back." JackZ said.

Astralis might have originally had the idea of rotating, but they didn't expect anyone to be in the sewer at this time.

Everyone praised each other, and the match entered the long-gun rounds.

Playing for the first few rounds, JackZ clearly felt he had no touch, and frontal trading was somewhat reluctant.

Xu Beifang is the true core of the team; letting Xu Beifang brush up his touch is more important.

Xu Beifang replied: "Don't rush, I'm still hanging in the sewer; the opponent has no movement."

In Magisk's push down, JackZ shot a headshot first, but Magisk also shot a headshot. The disadvantage in weaponry made him have no temper at all.

Considering Astralis's possible playstyle, Xu Beifang didn't follow JackZ to trade, but directly hid in the sewer.

T1-level teams, now mostly refer to NAVI, Liquid, Faze, and this group of people.

Wanting to catch their mistakes, the difficulty is too great.

The details you can't think of, Astralis can also think of, and can implement them against them.

At this time, shox also clearly felt the difference between a T1-level team and a T0-level team.

The details you can think of, Astralis can think of, and most of them can be avoided.

If he had an AK47 in his hand at this time, he would definitely have won the duel, and maybe he could continue to brush the screen.

Letting him come to trade for Xu Beifang at this time might also be able to brush up his touch.

apEX, after shox successfully stole the bomb and was killed, shouted "NICE" loudly to celebrate the victory. "Old but still sharp, you could even think of a face-to-face snatch."

This confrontation, if there are no accidents, should be the most intense confrontation in the entire ESL Cologne.

"The opponent is one HP!" JackZ's expression was somewhat ferocious after the duel ended.

The double-boost in the sewer and the double-boost in B site formed a simple crossfire, which was very insidious.

The time reached 1 minute, and Xu Beifang's attention also concentrated. 1 minute is a very important node for Astralis; the first wave of probing often unfolds at this time.

Hearing JackZ's words, Xu Beifang said "Hmm" and didn't reply again.

Fortunately, Xu Beifang and JackZ were both in the sewer. Even if Astralis rotated, they could get information.

"What's the situation?" Looking at the kill information in the upper right corner, apEX was somewhat worried that the opponent was going to rotate.

Doing a double-boost in this position in the sewer can directly see the short pipe.

"But Vitality isn't idle either. In the second time, apEX brought people to clear the construction site and outside the long pipe. This way, they knew the main force of the Danes was outside A site."

Soon, footsteps came from the upper layer of the sewer.

And on the B site side, apEX and shox also cooperated to perform a double-boost. They looked into the sewer for the first time.

shox's spiritual idea allowed them to successfully chase back a point and stop the rhythm of the economic round.

"Be careful of Astralis rotating." The map became quiet again, making it hard for apEX not to be suspicious.

The next round, both sides quickly entered the long-gun rounds, which definitely counted as good news.

shox thought so in his heart.

apEX's idea was to strongly control the construction site in the early stage. After Xu Beifang received the order, he called JackZ to perform a double-boost in the sewer in the early stage.

shox smiled: "It still has to be Beifang hooking well in the front. The Desert Eagle hit one and a half; otherwise, if the opponent didn't seal that smoke, I might have traded at most one."

Representing the hexagon of their ability, there was no particularly prominent place, but there were also no short boards.

"But Astralis isn't pushing fast. They don't even want to let Vitality get any information, pushing forward entirely by silent walking."

The situation in the match changes rapidly. At such times, polite words don't need to be said much.

Now that the information of "attempting to rotate" is exposed, it has come to the game of wits between the two IGLs.

Xu Beifang is hanging in the sewer for this reason. If the opponent wants to rotate, relying on him and JackZ also has operational space, but once it's not operated well, this point might be gone directly.

But if he hides a hand directly, Astralis might not think there is still someone in the sewer, and he has a chance to cut off one or two, being able to trade back the man-count.

"Astralis isn't clearing the sewer anymore, choosing to come over to A site to fight a wave directly. With 40 seconds of time, they are already about to start unfolding."

"The low-health Magisk is left to cut off the rear, the front is already starting to explode bombs, both sides have already shown their cards."

"But Beifang is also touching up from the sewer. Can Magisk cut him off this wave?"

Although the front has already started fighting, Xu Beifang is also very anxious, wanting to go to the front to help.

But his recordings in normal days weren't watched in vain.

He is actually very vengeful in his heart. After being rejected by xyp9x, Xu Beifang spent a lot of time studying the recordings of this clutch master, so he also knew this guy's style.

As long as the front isn't frustrated, he will definitely hang in the back.

So Xu Beifang was very careful to touch the upper layer.

After arriving at the upper level of the sewer, Xu Beifang was extremely cautious, even taking care to use a shoulder-peek to glance at the top right.

The low-health Magisk was holding a gun on the upper layer of the sewer. His task was to cut off Vitality's rotation.

(Magisk position)

Soon, Magisk saw a fly head appear on the upper layer of the sewer, and he immediately opened fire and sprayed.

But the opponent directly shrank back.

Terrible!

"Nine-ye, save me!" Magisk shouted for help in the voice chat. Nine-ye was on A Short and might have a chance to save him.

The next second, the thing he was worried about still happened.

"Da da da!"

【Nice+JackZ used M4A4 to kill Magisk】

Knowing that Magisk was in a low-health state, Xu Beifang aimed at the torso and fired in advance.

"Beifang came from behind too fast. The frontal battlefield hasn't started fighting yet, but he has already given pressure from the rear."

"The front has already started fighting, but Nine-ye was forced to turn around to manage the rear, aiming directly at the sewer, but Beifang didn't stop at all, instead tricking Nine-ye's pre-aiming away!"

Looking at the spray error of the terrorist, Xu Beifang knew his purpose had been achieved, directly squatting and instantly positioning.

"Bang bang!"

【Nice used M4A4 headshot to kill xyp9x】

"Someone rushed up from behind!" Nine-ye quickly reminded in the voice chat.

He hated this kind of top-level gunner the most. His gunplay wasn't particularly hard; he mainly relied on positioning and consciousness to play the game.

And this kind of frontal duel, he would often be played to death by the opponent's skills.

"Beifang tore Nine-ye apart, and the front also started fighting. Cooperating with a flashbang, gla1ve rushed in directly from the smoke on the platform, but Zywoo turned his back on the first flashbang, M4 held one, two!"

"Beifang rushed from the rear, cooperating with apEX to kill the terrorist at A Long. This long-gun round Vitality completed a 1-for-4!"

Wanjiqi looked at Astralis, who had fallen into a collapse in the long-gun round, and gasped: "Feels like Astralis is missing something in this front."

As a ten-year fan of Astralis, looking at this attack, he felt everything was wrong.

Soon, in the director's wonderful kill replay, he finally understood everything.

"Astralis played this attack quite well. Although the time was dragged very dead, it was enough for them to unfold the attack. The main problem was still this point of Beifang; his timing was too good."

"Not only did he kill the cutting-off Magisk, but he also dragged Nine-ye. Astralis's frontal attack this wave, the flashbang didn't arrive at all, played too hastily."

"Astralis's rhythm was completely disrupted by the suddenly rushing Xu Beifang."

gla1ve was somewhat angry and took the initiative to call a timeout.

"What's the situation behind you? Throw the flash first, don't let the front breakthrough dry-pull?"

Astralis had always been based on discipline. In the team, once gla1ve gave an order, that was everything.

But the problem was, this attack order had already been given, but the subsequent utility support didn't arrive, letting their front be directly caught by the opponent.

Although there was still some economy, gla1ve still immediately called a timeout to adjust his problems.

Magisk said: "My bad, I was locked by Nice. I wanted to let Nine-ye come over to help me. This wave was my brain fart."

When he shouted, the front hadn't started attacking yet.

xyp9x also added: "I turned around wanting to help him, you guys already rushed in from the front, and the utility missed the timing."

CSGO confrontation is like this. Like a team based on tactics like them, once a certain link has a mistake, the overall attack will appear very cramped.

Their frontal attack this wave, the smoke and fire were spread out, but only one flashbang was given.

Covering the ID and team logo, I thought it was Tyloo playing the match.

"You don't have to manage him the first time in the rear." gla1ve had a headache, "As long as we take down the first wave from the front, and then rely on cover to fight him again, it's completely operational."

"Think about it, even if you had held him dead just now, but the front couldn't get in, wouldn't you still have to save weapons?"

"Manage my attack order first."

Looking at the teammate's somewhat annoyed expression, gla1ve continued to arrange the next task: "Let's play a speed change. I actually had some problems just now, playing too hesitantly."

He had taken down A Long at the beginning, but didn't attack for a long time, mainly wanting to let apEX be unsure of their information. He didn't expect apEX to be more aggressive than imagined, taking all the information actively.

Then in that case, he wouldn't play games with apEX about those things, directly a speed-up.

"At the beginning, you can step on the balloon, be careful of the sewer. Vitality likes to step on the sewer quite a bit."

Knowing the opponent's positioning and playstyle of the previous point, gla1ve naturally wanted to target it.

After the countdown ended, Magisk followed the arrangement of the IGL and went straight to the balloon.

Cooperating with the teammate's flashbang, he stepped on the balloon, looked at A Short to confirm no one was there, and directly pulled horizontally to hold the sewer.

"Da da da!"

JackZ heard the sound of the flashbang in the middle, immediately turned to look from the sewer, and soon discovered Magisk's figure, briefly engaging in a firefight with him.

"Middle fast speed-up, the opponent stepped on the balloon!" JackZ shouted loudly in the voice chat to Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang had already pressed to A Long this point. Hearing JackZ's shout, he didn't wait anymore and directly took the initiative to peek out.

"——Bang!"

The sound of the sniper rifle rang out. Xu Beifang was in a hurry to help his teammate trade, and this wave was directly pulling out to get information.

But he didn't expect this big pull to catch device off guard.

The moment he pulled out, Xu Beifang quickly locked the information on the screen.

There was one in Mirage, and a head popped out from the terrorist spawn.

device's sniper rifle jumped back to pull the bolt, temporarily posing no threat to him, so Xu Beifang saw the bald head inside the terrorist spawn at the first glance.

The crosshair quickly pulled over.

"Da! Da!"

Two consecutive fast point-shots, and he heard the comfortable kill feedback sound.

But Xu Beifang didn't stop, after the single point, he immediately pulled the crosshair to Mirage, spraying and pressing the gun at the board of Mirage.

device missed a shot. Just as he was rejoicing that his positioning was agile, he saw the information that his teammate was killed. He immediately wanted to pull out again to trade for Xu Beifang.

But in the process of moving to the right, several bullets kept hitting his head through the wooden board.

"Da da da!"

device, who hadn't bought armor, was instantly beaten into a mess.

"Beifang pulls out and instantly kills gla1ve at T-Spawn, but Device from Overpass is about to get rough with him, yet Beifang sprays and transfers through the wall, taking Device down as well!"

"But Beifang should also stop here, because he wouldn't expect Magisk and JackZ to stop at the point and come over to trade for him!"

But the next second, he saw Xu Beifang, who was spraying and scanning the board of Mirage, see the Magisk appearing from the left peripheral vision, and instantly pulled over a spray transfer.

"Wow!!!" Wanjiqi's voice in the live stream room directly got louder. He shouted in disbelief, "What kind of spray transfer is this! Magisk pulled out from the balloon and didn't even fire a shot, directly taken away by a headshot from the spray transfer!"

The sound wave in the Lanxess Arena exploded at this moment. If in the last long-gun round, Xu Beifang became a key man, just happening to disrupt Astralis's attack rhythm.

Then this round, Xu Beifang relied on his personal ability to directly shatter Astralis's attack!

This wave of Xu Beifang's rifle skills was displayed vividly.

Seeing gla1ve with only the top of his head exposed at a distance, he chose to solve the problem with a single tap, followed immediately by a spray-transfer through the board; the most terrifying part was the final kill.

The moment he saw Magisk appear in his peripheral vision, the trajectory was pulled over directly, solving Magisk with one shot.

The entire lens pulled from the right to the left, making him unable to stop himself from gasping.

"A Du trades the kill from inside the sewer and finishes off the low-health JackZ, but apEX wallbangs A Du directly from B Site. Finally, only Jiuye is left to face this 1v4 clutch. Does the Clutch Master have room to operate?"

"Save it." gla1ve gave a suggestion.

This wave really had nothing to say.

He targeted Vitality's positioning choice and also anticipated that Vitality might push forward.

But device missed the shot, and then Nice killed them all by himself, which really had no way.

"Is he already this exaggerated now?" Magisk felt somewhat tongue-tied.

Both sides had already traded blows for 6 rounds, and he had been torn apart by Xu Beifang from the front 3 times.

Xu Beifang was like a ghost many times, instantly insta-killing him.

Making him, this frontal boy, somewhat unworthy of the name.

At the London Major, Xu Beifang was still in VP, and they had competed once.

That time Astralis spent some effort, but finally successfully won against VP.

At the time, he only felt that this newcomer in VP had pretty good strength, and the frontal aiming and reaction were pretty good.

But competing again, Xu Beifang was telling his existence every moment.

Now he is already one of the top riflemen.

He just used his personal ability to bring threats to Astralis.

gla1ve pressed the scoreboard, looking at Xu Beifang with 10/1/3, and also fell into deep thought.
