Chapter 336: Brother, how did you start educating Astralis?

After the round ended, the director replayed Xu Beifang's wonderful kill for the first time.

The audience who were still marveling just now also concentrated their attention to check carefully.

The first kill mainly relied on pre-aiming and reaction, plus the advantage of the gun position, Magisk didn't have a chance to fire at all.

The subsequent few kills were the classics.

gla1ve rushed up with the help of his teammates' flashbangs, only to be instantly killed by Xu Beifang's shoulder-peek. From the third-person perspective, they saw Xu Beifang twist his waist, and then gla1ve was taken out.

Dupreeh came to trade, Xu Beifang's headshot line was held very dead, and he directly killed Dupreeh with two headshots, crisp and neat.

The last kill on xyp9x was even more exaggerated, actually being able to think of using the three-burst way.

"In that situation, this seems to be the only way for Nice to break the game." NIKO came back to his senses and said to Rain beside him, "Originally he was already low health, and Nine-ye pulled over from that angle. If he used full-auto spray, even if he reacted, he would probably still be killed."

"So Nice's move this wave isn't just playing tricks; he found the only way to solve the problem in the predicament. If he didn't use three-burst, this wave would definitely not win against xyp9x who fired first. Later, letting Astralis play 2v4, maybe the result would be different." Rain's analysis was also very thorough.

He thought it was a teammate who accidentally threw the incendiary grenade at first.

NEO shook his head: "You don't understand, you don't know how many ghost ideas Nice has in his head. You think Astralis prepared things, then Vitality, why not?"

gla1ve is the commander who likes speed changes the most in the world. Astralis's attack often combines fast and slow, and it's very hard for opponents to figure out gla1ve's ideas and thoughts in the game.

Their offensive focus this round was placed on B site, but as soon as they arrived at B site, two heavy-weight pieces of utility were given, making them unable to enter even if they wanted to.

What's the situation?

Two people playing at home at the beginning?

Immediately after, they saw Xu Beifang take out utility to aim, then the two jumped and synchronized, moving forward together.

CT in Mirage's B site defense basically defaults to giving long pipe smoke and short pipe fire at the beginning.

At this time, it was only 1 minute 48 seconds.

So he was relatively familiar with Astralis's playstyle.

Then he turned his head and looked over: "Beifang, I'll cooperate with you, double-boost at the beginning to throw B-mouth fire."

In the field of vision, using one smoke and one fire to isolate Astralis outside the B-mouth, Vitality took the opportunity to clear the outside of B with a flashbang, and after confirming Astralis didn't come out, shox stood firmly at the construction site, steadily taking the control of B site in the first time.

He knew Xu Beifang's utility development ability was very strong, but feeling the new things he developed in the match still felt somewhat astonished.

"Where did the fire come from?"

Immediately after, in the eyes of the audience, Xu Beifang directly threw the incendiary grenade in his hand.

"Walk forward, try to extinguish the fire and go in." gla1ve also reacted quickly and began to give orders.

NIKO clearly saw the Astralis fan not far in front of him frowning, now already full of worried face.

NIKO could actually understand his mood, and he was also very astonished: "I'm still seeing double-runboost cooperation to throw utility for the first time. Nice's tactical ability is too strong."

Faze's sniper AdreN looked at the screen, pondered for a long time, and said: "Nice already has 20 kills. Although his personal ability is very strong, Astralis's tactics haven't specifically unfolded yet. Later, as long as Astralis targets this position or takes out their bottom cards, there is still operational space."

"This makes Astralis very uncomfortable. They finally got two points, and this Vitality turned it around in the ECO round. The morale is instantly low. I feel Vitality can get a big score in the first half." NEO looked at the exaggerated performance of Xu Beifang on the big screen, and his eyes were also full of admiration.

But now Vitality is the leading side. Bringing it into Astralis's perspective, it's not hard to consider the playstyle of this round.

But the next second, a smoke grenade from nowhere flew over, extinguishing that B-mouth fire and blocking all their vision.

The strange operation of the two attracted the director's attention.

After the countdown ended, apEX directly came to the corner on the right of the trash can and squatted to aim.

But before people walked into the range of B site, they saw the sound of utility coming from the B site entrance. gla1ve, who was communicating with teammates, turned his head and looked, instantly stunned.

Vitality also only gave two pieces of utility, but their two pieces of utility directly dragged the default of the offensive side in the early stage, making the terrorist's attack rhythm forced to slow down. The role of these two pieces of utility was quite exaggerated.

"Disrupt Astralis's rhythm in the early stage, forcing them to return to the original rhythm."

"What kind of utility is this!" gla1ve was somewhat shocked.

"This is Vitality's killing move. The role this set of utility can play is too big." Rain sighed.

gla1ve also had a headache.

What is the concept of this time?

It's only 7 seconds since the round started!

"Astralis has suffered several losses in A site. Next, they might focus on B site." apEX gave orders, his idea being the same as Xu Beifang's consideration.

Xu Beifang also followed the plan and jumped directly onto his head.

He was originally a player who liked to learn actively. He had watched the recordings of all major first-line teams. As a dynasty team on the current field, Astralis naturally didn't escape his eyes.

Xu Beifang not only liked to watch their recordings, but many times when watching Astralis matches, he would also bring himself into the victim's perspective and think about how he would respond in that situation.

The audience on the scene also saw the Vitality members double-boosting at the beginning of the round.

Compared to gla1ve's various speed-change playstyles, apEX liked to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, making the opponent forced to attack in a very uncomfortable posture. At this time, the attack might appear deformed and mistaken, and Vitality's personal ability would have a chance to play.

gla1ve took the lead in preparing to charge toward B site this round. Having suffered losses in A site consecutively, he prepared to come for a hard B site speed-up this point. He had already communicated in the voice chat to let teammates prepare to extinguish the fire for himself, and he wanted to come for a brave rush into B site.

Although there were few experiences of competing with Astralis, Xu Beifang knew quite a bit about Astralis.

It was too risky to force through the smoke to control the map. After thinking about it, he could only rotate back to A site default.

Then he glanced at the game's UI and found that every teammate had an incendiary grenade on them. This could only be the incendiary grenade thrown by the opponent.

The incendiary grenade drew a beautiful trajectory, and the director's lens followed closely. Everyone watched this incendiary grenade, and it finally exploded at the B site entrance.

But rotating back to A site default at this time point, he also suffered a loss in time.

It can only be said that all the preparations in the early stage were disrupted by Vitality's utility combo.

"Astralis returned to do A site default, but this point is Zywoo's sniper rifle cooperating with Beifang for A site map control. Zywoo was forced back by utility in the middle, but Beifang caught the Magisk pushing forward at A Long, AK47 spray directly pressed to death!"

"Collected a toll, they weren't greedy for guns at all. Zywoo gave a toilet smoke, saving Beifang. The man-count advantage has been obtained, they just need to play slowly."

"Because of the early game conflict, the time left for Astralis to control the map is actually not much. device gave an A Long smoke, which is a smoke grenade blocking the bomb site observation. Immediately after, they performed a three-boost at A Long. Vitality started to play tricks, they also started!"

Accompanied by the unfolding of the three-boost at A Long, the exclamation of the audience on the scene rose one after another.

Olofmeister, sitting in the middle of the Faze members, even heard a burst of booing from around.

He smiled helplessly.

Using map defects to use three-boost in the young period, leading to everyone starting to frantically @ him whenever there is such a situation in the match now.

"Astralis wants to perform a three-boost at A Long. This position can hit the bomb site and the CT rotating back from the trash can. The bomb site is defended by Beifang and Zywoo. How to say this position?"

Xu Beifang stood on the sunny side of the bomb site, which is a relatively arrogant position.

Being able to be so arrogant, the main reason is still that Zywoo used a sniper rifle to help him hold A Short, letting him only focus on the problems in the toilet.

However, because he just threw an incendiary grenade into the toilet, it allowed him to scout the black smoke brought by the fire.

Just as he was thinking about whether to ask Zywoo for a flash to clear the toilet, an unidentified object appeared in the peripheral vision of the upper right corner.

Xu Beifang's dynamic vision is very strong, so when a sudden abrupt thing appeared, he reacted immediately.

Almost reflexively pulled the crosshair over.

"Bang!"

AK47 single point.

【Nice used AK47 headshot to kill device】

"Wow!! Little Xu insta-killed this device on the three-boost position. How was this done?" Wanjiqi was very astonished, "I'm already stupid. He is on the sunny side of the bomb site. Is it that he just wants to hit this position?"

He glanced at the barrage on the sub-screen:

【???】

【Is this also in your expectation?】

【Is there actually someone holding this position?】

【This Vitality must have studied it】

【Beifang has already turned on the lock-head, entering the completely crazy stage】

【......】

"To be honest, I don't quite understand." Wanjiqi shook his head, "This is the first time I've seen such a three-boost being insta-killed. This shot is too terrifying. From device's field of vision, we didn't even see a shadow."

"Sure enough, CSGO is a horror game."

Astralis probed in A site for a while and consecutively killed two members.

gla1ve was also somewhat daunted by the ID in the kill information in the upper right corner for a time, and after consideration, he finally chose to return to B site to fight an attack.

But Vitality was a 3B defense. When Astralis's frontal explosion attack came, they didn't make any mistakes either. JackZ finally stood out, successfully winning this round with a three-kill.

"Good gun!!" Looking at the teammate brushing the screen to win the round, Xu Beifang praised loudly.

Then he opened his mouth and shouted: "You guys don't know, the opposite side was three-boosting at A Long just now. I made a nervous shot and insta-killed device. I was startled myself."

apEX said: "You don't hit me anymore. You have to know that your ordinary kills are already nervous shots to me."

Listening to apEX's response, Xu Beifang smiled helplessly.

apEX is very emotional, but he speaks quite nicely in normal times.

Everyone high-fived and bumped fists, then continued to enter subsequent rounds.

Astralis wasn't as fragile as they imagined either. They adjusted in the next round and then carried out a second-time sewer rotation to A.

This time Xu Beifang played slightly aggressively and was finally arrested by device's armorless sniper rifle.

After getting the first kill, Astralis exploded bombs on both sides at the same time, but finally chose to explode bombs at A.

Zywoo's sniper rifle traded two, but device stood out in the clutch and played like a god with an armorless sniper rifle, helping Astralis win back a point.

However, in subsequent rounds, Xu Beifang's touch was still very good, and Vitality's overall defense was also very solid.

Finally, as the defensive side, they got 9 rounds.

During the half-time break, the audience also entered a short rest and discussion.

【26-2-8, what exactly is this Beifang doing?】

【134 average damage per round, I'm really a bit confused watching it】

【This Beifang is purely smurfing, how can he smurf like this against Astralis?】

【Rebirth: I am smurfing in a top professional match】

【《Crashing into Astralis and waiting to be educated》《Brother, how did you start educating Astralis? 》】

Looking at the discussion in the sub-screen, Wanjiqi had a relieved smile on his face: "This Astralis has indeed studied it. Look, their utility targeting is very strong. It's very obvious they want to limit Beifang's performance."

"But you often haven't unfolded your offensive formation, and Beifang has already come out to steal a first kill, or your offensive formation has just unfolded, and this guy does a spray transfer, or plays around cover, and you are already dead seven or eight out of ten."

"Even in the case of personal ability explosion, Vitality can still have good tactical ideas. Look at that utility, is that utility played by humans?"

Wanjiqi, except for calling it absurd, had no other thoughts in his heart.

On the Astralis player bench on the right side of the stage.

A group of Danes was now somewhat sweating profusely.

They hadn't competed with Vitality many times, and they really didn't have much experience before.

Before the match, they were actually somewhat confused. Vitality's tactics weren't particularly complicated. Why did these first-line teams play so hard?

Now——

Looking at Nice, who was ranked first on the scoreboard, they finally understood.

26 kills, two assists, 8 deaths, this is a pure pervert.

Everyone is a top professional, who isn't a genius boy, but how did such a pervert come out?

Occasionally exploding once, getting a three-kill or four-kill, that's not saying anything.

The problem is this guy can keep killing!

Basically, his presence is very strong every round, always killing people, and they are terrified when confiscating guns.

"Got 6 points in the first half, this is a score that can still be operated." gla1ve comforted his teammates, "After switching to defense in the second half, it comes to our strong point."

Actually, the first half was played much harder than they had.

With sufficient preparation, getting only 6 rounds obviously wasn't enough to look at.

But under the opponent's powerful firepower, they could only comfort themselves like this.

After entering the second half, the camps of both sides were swapped, and Astralis came to the defensive side.

They chose a standard 1A4B formation at the beginning.

Although gla1ve didn't bet on points frequently, this time the bet was successful, and even the first kill Magisk got was solving their heart-trouble Nice.

However, they seemed to have forgotten that Vitality had always been dual-core!

Zywoo, who had no sound in the first half, picked up Xu Beifang's P250 and directly hit 5 headshots, tearing Astralis's formation to pieces, helping Vitality successfully win the pistol round in the second half.

In the next few rounds, Vitality also ate the dividends to the full, directly pushing the score to 12:6, and both sides came to the first long-gun round in the second half.

Vitality unfolded the default at the beginning, planning to synchronize and speed up to A from the sewer to A Short and A Long in the second time.

Xu Beifang and Zywoo cooperated to push forward for A site map control, the rhythm not fast or slow.

The time was still early, they didn't need to push forward particularly fast.

But entering the key point, Astralis began to play actively.

After communicating, Magisk chose to play a surprise, actively calling gla1ve to cooperate with him for a counter-clear.

You can always believe in gla1ve's flashbang.

After the flashbang exploded, Magisk boldly rushed into the construction site.

Two terrorists covering their eyes appeared in front of him one after another.

Magisk understood in his heart that this might be his only chance.

A spray transfer, he directly took apEX and JackZ away, but facing the open door of the sewer, Magisk tightened his arms and forcibly controlled the trajectory over.

【Magisk!!!】

【Magic Boy's magic bullets, he appeared again!】

【Frontal boy is back】

【Magisk!!!】

The scene was full of exclamations. This wave, whether it was Astralis's counter-clear timing or Magisk's frontal spray transfer control, was quite bright. 【336-14

"Nice shot!!!"

Looking at the kill feed in the top right corner, the Astralis voice chat was filled with praise.

Magisk felt relieved after successfully killing shox as well.

However, he also understood that even these three kills were far from enough.

Because the Gemini were still on A Site, and as long as those two guys didn't die, their hearts could not be at peace.

Looking at the kill feed in the top right, Xu Beifang didn't blame anyone, but instead asked: "What's the situation on B Site?"

apEX, who was currently mired in self-reproach, replied: "There were three people at the start of B, but I don't have information now."

"We just got caught by an anti-rush flash. You guys find a way to plant the bomb; we need some economy."

If they could plant the bomb, they would still have full armor and long guns to play with in the next round.

But if they couldn't plant, they would only be able to mix Galils and AKs later.

The impact was quite significant.

"Shall we give it a try?" Xu Beifang asked.

Zywoo gave a hum, agreeing with his partner's idea.

Xu Beifang and Zywoo had already pushed into the Toilet area.

In this 2v5 clutch, Astralis was very steady and wouldn't expose too much information to them.

Xu Beifang chose to re-enter the sewer and counter-hold the sewer approach to prevent the opponent from sneaking up from behind.

Although the conventional wisdom is to play steadily when you have the numbers, sometimes players with brilliant minds will use reverse thinking, which is why you sometimes see professional players make very criminal plays.

This can only be said to be a failed gamble on their part.

While Xu Beifang was holding the sewer approach, he heard the sound of an AK47 firing in the Toilet.

"Da-da-da!"

"—Bang!"

"What's the situation?" Xu Beifang asked quickly.

Zywoo didn't speak, but a second later.

【Zywoo used a HE Grenade to kill device】

"I shoulder-peeked the sniper on the bomb site," Zywoo said. He actually hadn't expected device to be standing in that position, but device was clearly not in the zone; he never expected him to miss such a simple shoulder-peek.

If device knew his thoughts, he would definitely be unable to resist complaining.

He had played against Xu Beifang many times in the first half and knew Xu Beifang liked to wide-peek, so he specifically held a wide angle waiting for Xu Beifang to walk into his crosshair. Who knew he would be facing Zywoo this time, who used a small shoulder-peek, and he failed to hold the angle after several attempts.

After getting a kill, Xu Beifang immediately rushed toward Zywoo's direction with the bomb.

Zywoo thought the same as him and didn't wait specifically to regroup, but instead actively rushed into the bomb site to gather information.

"Zywoo is still pushing forward. Now A Du is holding from the car alone. What about this position?"

"A Du didn't hold it; he was instantly killed by Zywoo. This A Site push was finished by Zywoo alone!!"

"This 2v5 clutch has become a 2v3. It seems there really is room to operate. Is the Vitality ancestral '2vEverything' about to appear again?"

Wanjiqi gasped.

But gla1ve, who was the first to rotate back, finally peeked out and killed Zywoo at the car, sanctioning him.

Leaving Xu Beifang to face this 1v3 clutch.

It was now certain that gla1ve was on A Site; the opponent hadn't seen the bomb, so they would definitely have someone guarding B Site.

It was just a matter of where the low-health Magisk was hiding.

Xu Beifang fell into deep thought.

After considering it, he chose to throw a smoke onto the platform to cover his offensive intent.

This was effectively showing his hand, making it impossible for the opponent to predict his path.

Then Xu Beifang walked silently from the sewer toward B Site.

"In this 1v3 clutch, Nice ultimately chose to hit B. This is a good choice because Astralis's rotation is just too fast; Magisk and gla1ve are already inside A Site."

"However, they are still very cautious facing this 3v1. Jiuye, who is solo-defending B, is hiding inside B1. The meaning is very clear: they can let you plant the bomb on B, but they will absolutely not actively seek a 1v1 duel."

This decision was very rational. In a 3v1 clutch like this, if they let Xu Beifang split them into 1v1v1s, that might cause problems.

But if they relied on fast trade kills, Xu Beifang would likely only be able to kill one.

Astralis's playstyle fully respected the ID of Xu Beifang.

The Vitality viewers in the stream could only comfort themselves by saying that once the bomb was planted, they would have the economy to play long guns in the next round.

Xu Beifang peeked in with half his body, searched the area roughly, and didn't find the opponent.

He simply threw a fire into B1 and then planted the bomb directly.

After planting the bomb, Xu Beifang actively pre-aimed and looked at B2. Seeing no one, he had no choice but to head toward the construction site.

And in the final second before entering the construction site, he saw a figure appear on B2.

Xu Beifang raised his gun and tapped, but didn't hit the opponent.

It's over!

apEX saw this situation and knew this round might be in trouble.

Given Astralis's personality, it was impossible for them not to have a defuse kit in the first long-gun round.

If Xu Beifang's position hadn't been locked, he could still sneakily steal a kill and then operate.

But now that his position was locked and the opponent had a defuse kit, he wouldn't have time to rotate to the long pipe.

The next second, a sandbag smoke flew over, making apEX feel even more suffocated.

The smoke grenade blocked Xu Beifang's vision, but the clutch wasn't over yet, so he still had a chance to operate.

"In a 1v3 clutch, Nice's position is locked. Astralis chooses to fake-defuse and then hold the angle; they still want to deal with Beifang first."

"Nice sprays gla1ve down to half health, but immediately faces Astralis's counter-wallbang. Fortunately, there are sandbags nearby for cover, so he didn't take any damage."

"Astralis taps the bomb again; Nice continues to spray. xyp9x is killed through the smoke, and the low-health Magisk is also taken out by a spray!"

"gla1ve didn't even fire a shot before Nice predicted him. A spray through the smoke with zero vision—Nice spray-transferred and killed them all!"

The English commentator shouted in disbelief:

"Who is the real Dane here!"

The cheers of the audience on-site were like a volcanic eruption; the fervent emotions instantly spread throughout the entire arena. Everyone couldn't believe everything they were seeing.

3 people against 1.

They locked Xu Beifang's position and deprived him of his vision, yet under these circumstances, Xu Beifang was still able to fight back.

Isn't this a cheat?

On the Astralis player bench.

Everyone thought this clutch could not possibly be lost; they had ten thousand reasons to win it, but in the end, they were still outplayed by Nice.

Magisk held his head, leaning back in his gaming chair, looking at the kill feed in the top right.

He was already starting to feel intimidated by this ID.
