Chapter 350: Little Xu has faded, faded among the gods

~14 min read 2,698 words

When the last kill appeared, the atmosphere at the venue had reached its peak.

The audience waved their cheering sticks, cooperating with the cheers, staging a wonderful movement belonging to esports in the Langxess Arena.

The muscular pasha held a light board for his old teammate in the crowd.

NEO, who was beside him, looked at the stage, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"The score of map two is 16:6. Vitality defeated their opponent on their chosen map with a 10-point lead, showing their terrifying strength!"

Ma Xixi's voice was very loud, "After taking this map, Vitality is also leading 2:0 in the overall score. They have prioritized taking the match point of this final!"

"Now all the pressure is on Liquid. This king of North America has been forced into a desperate situation."

"It's really hard to believe that Liquid would be beaten like this." MO also exclaimed: "Should I say Liquid's state is too poor, or Vitality's state is too good?"

Although Xu Beifang's state yesterday was outstanding, before the final started, no one would have expected such a script.

The first two maps were crushed directly, and even the points Liquid got added together didn't reach double digits, which was truly somewhat exaggerated.

In the CSBOY live broadcast room, the snowflake-like barrage filled the room.

CSGO is ultimately a gunfight game, and gunplay accounts for a very, very large proportion in the game.

It's really outrageous.

"Come down quickly!" Zywoo also tried to carry Xu Beifang, but found that Xu Beifang's weight wasn't light either, and the pressure was greater than just winning map two.

Even if he occasionally didn't play well at the front point and was killed by the opponent, Xu Beifang could still hold the situation.

apEX listened and smiled. Being so relaxed at this moment was thanks to the hard training in daily life.

【Looking at Liquid's state, I don't know how they can lose today!】

If possible, Tie Dan actually also wanted to stand on that stage.

Listening to the two "big brothers" in the team modestly yielding to each other, apEX felt it was somewhat outrageous, but also somewhat funny.

【Don't pop champagne at halftime, the current situation is clearly more favorable to Liquid】

【If this Cologne is won again, then it's really 4 consecutive championships, turtle!】

If it wasn't for Zywoo playing like a god of war on B Site, this Overpass match definitely wouldn't have been taken so easily.

The laziness of the French is famous, especially among CSGO professional players. France producing lazy dogs isn't just talk.

Looking at Xu Beifang, who was full of smiles in the camera, his heart was a mix of five flavors.

"Then map three, continue to carry. Let me enjoy the feeling of lying down and winning again." Xu Beifang said with a smile.

Following into the player tunnel, he could hear the voice of the English commentary, "Vitality has reached 2-0, only one map away from lifting the trophy. Liquid wants to find themselves again on this stage, but now they are somewhat confused. They still have one map chance. If this Vertigo isn't won next, then the situation is imaginable..."

Listening to the shouts at the venue, Xu Beifang raised the corners of his mouth and nodded quite enjoyably.

"Xu Beifang is awesome. I really didn't expect Vitality to be able to suppress Liquid throughout the match." Danking shook his head and sighed in the live broadcast room, "This is only one map away from the Cologne championship."

But today it was more comfortable to play, because it wasn't just him carrying; his teammates were also performing.

Slaughtering crazily on the B bomb site this match, he felt the pure joy of CSGO for the first time in a long time.

However, even with the advantage of the gun position, Liquid's head-on duels couldn't hold up.

In the match, his mindset was also quite relaxed, belonging to the kind that got better the more he played.

So when he stood up to hug his teammates, Xu Beifang hung happily on Zywoo directly.

【Indeed, Vitality's state is hot, 2-0 can't hide the decline, Liquid's hand feel is cold, showing the king's demeanor】

In this game of CSGO, many French genius teenagers have appeared, but there are also many genius teenagers who have squandered their talent.

At this time, he couldn't help but look at the tall figure hooking the little fatty in front.

Xu Beifang could feel that many of Liquid's tactics and decisions were done well, and they had gained many advantageous gun positions relying on tactics.

Entering the focused state on map one made his eyes a bit uncomfortable, and he would miss timing from time to time due to eye soreness, leading to his performance on map two not being very exaggerated.

The match on map two was all under control. Liquid had prepared quite a lot on this map, but the crushing defeat on map one still affected their hand feel.

He didn't like to carry, mainly because he had become a "Lao Da" in the ladder usually, the kind where even if he carried crazily, it was very difficult to win.

While talking, Tie Dan felt somewhat unhappy: "Our playing for a Major qualification is like wanting our lives, why does Xu Beifang feel so relaxed playing such a top-tier tournament?"

After Xu Beifang came down, he loosened his muscles: "Don't say, occasionally carrying once is really quite good."

Zywoo shrugged: "Then forget it, occasionally carrying once is really happy, but carrying all the time doesn't have that feeling..."

He knew very well how difficult it was to carry a match, but in their team, carrying was actually something that had to be yielded specially.

【Today's final, won't it be 3-0 taken away by Liquid?】

If this numerical exchange can't produce an advantage, no matter how good the IGL is, there's no way.

It's very steady.

【I can't wait to sing the Vitality song】

However, he was slowly understanding now that although they were both born as genius teenagers, there was also a big gap between them.

The Vitality players on the screen shouted "NIIIIICE!" in unison, and the passionate sound made them clearly audible.

But this map two, it was thanks to Zywoo's performance.

apEX reviewed their journey over the past year or so, and the overall training volume was about double what it was before, which was a quite exaggerated figure.

This was entirely because Xu Beifang set a good example.

Although Xu Beifang didn't deliberately ask anyone to train together.

But his daily state and attitude toward his profession would always silently influence the teammates beside him.

With a training maniac in the team, their overall training volume naturally increased.

apEX walked to Xu Beifang's side, "Inviting you to build Vitality together at the beginning was definitely the most correct decision I've made in my life."

"What are you saying?" Xu Beifang was joking with Zywoo and didn't hear apEX's whisper.

I finally expressed my feelings once, but you made me lose so miserably.

Damn!

apEX's face turned black, then he shut up and walked into the lounge.

Walking into the lounge, Xu Beifang saw swani coming up: "These first two maps, you two played too well."

On Inferno, Xu Beifang, with an exaggerated performance, suppressed Liquid so they couldn't even fight back, making Liquid lose all their hand feel.

And when it came to Overpass, after changing a member to dictate the tempo, Zywoo was also carrying the whole field, beating Liquid on B Site until they had no temper at all.

swani was somewhat curious: "Map two should have changed the train of thought, right? I'm just curious, Xu Beifang, how did you succeed in the role conversion?"

As an analyst, he watched the whole match in the lounge.

XTQZZZ's pre-match decision played a big role. After map one ended, Liquid immediately adjusted. The speed of map control in the early stages was very slow, clearly targeting Xu Beifang, wanting to hold Xu Beifang to death a few more times through long-term defaulting.

But Liquid didn't expect that this time it was Zywoo who came over to dictate the tempo.

Zywoo's ability to dictate the tempo was mediocre, better than other players, but compared to this guy Xu Beifang who didn't want his life, the gap was still very big.

However, what he cared about wasn't this, but how Xu Beifang, this big core, completed the mental transformation, just coming to play as a tool-man-like role.

"Actually, it's quite simple." Xu Beifang explained, "Mainly just think about what the team needs you to do. My playstyle is usually quite steady."

swani was speechless.

It would be fine to lie to others with these words, but he was an analyst, best at letting data speak.

He had counted Xu Beifang's firefight heat map once a long time ago.

For example, on the Inferno map, Xu Beifang's kills were mainly concentrated in Mid, Banana, and B Site.

At first glance, there was no problem, and there was no difference from other breakthrough players.

But if the data was further subdivided, the problem would come out.

When Xu Beifang was on the defensive side, his kills were mainly concentrated in Banana and Mid.

When he was on the offensive side, his kills were mainly concentrated in the barrel area + B bomb site.

It was enough to show how aggressive his playstyle was.

It was completely jumping to the face and chasing the opponent to fight.

Put in League of Legends, it was like him being a top laner, not only suppressing the opponent under the tower every round, but even suppressing the opponent to the second tower in some matchups.

"Map three is Vertigo, right? It's our time to perform again!" JackZ mentioned Vertigo and was very interested, because he felt that on this map, some small routines researched by their team were quite interesting.

Although it had appeared in front of the public several times before, the gap between the opponent and their strength was too big, and they didn't even force out the tricks they hid.

Today's match, when they chose it, they already intended to release some things.

In order to cut the mess with a sharp knife, they were prepared to release some things.

They also weren't worried about releasing their trump cards. There were many new things that needed external feedback to make them stronger.

"Don't be careless." XTQZZZ heard JackZ's words, pondered for a long while and said, "Liquid has also competed with us on this map before. Daring to release it like this means they already have some confidence."

"In the past two months, their performance on this map is actually quite good, so you must be careful."

Although leading the opponent by a large score, XTQZZZ still believed that they had to take it seriously strategically.

No matter how the subsequent match was played, they had to treat it seriously in their mindset.

And XTQZZZ understood very well that under normal circumstances, the gap between Vitality and Liquid actually wasn't this big; the two sides were probably 50-50.

This Cologne was played so easily entirely because of the influence produced by Xu Beifang's exaggerated state.

Map one was won relying on Xu Beifang's outstanding performance. Liquid's hand feel was still not good at the start of map two, but they clearly found their state in subsequent rounds, just because the pressure of the score meant there was no margin for error to chase points.

Now Liquid had adjusted back to the beginning. On this Vertigo, who would win and who would lose was really hard to say.

"Map three is our map choice, we'll be on the offensive side first, right?" Xu Beifang asked casually.

XTQZZZ subconsciously wanted to nod, but habit still made him take out his phone, and the result obtained was quite unexpected.

Liquid actively chose the offensive side on this map.

"Look, I said it, Liquid definitely has preparations!"

Hearing this, everyone in the room was somewhat surprised, but their happy mood was still somewhat dissipated.

The opponent's preparations were sufficient, bringing some uncertainty to the subsequent match.

At this time, the post-match data of map two appeared on the big screen in the lounge.

Zywoo, as expected, became the most outstanding player in this match.

36 kills, 20 deaths

Average damage 94.7

Tactical score a full 1.72

Regardless of the role for the team, this data was very explosive.

However, the audience's eyes were more focused on Xu Beifang.

Nice: 27 kills, 15 deaths

Average damage: 74.1

Tactical score (rating 2.0): 1.41

On the Overpass map, Xu Beifang's performance in the early stages wasn't too outstanding, especially in those rounds where Liquid was chasing points crazily. Many barrages were almost trampling Xu Beifang to death.

For example:

【Sure enough, once the BOSS second stage opens, it quickly enters the sage time】

【Just exploding once, you're so awesome, now isn't it faded among the gods?】

【This opening gives away an opening kill, really playing blindly】

Xu Beifang's state in the past few matches was too outstanding, and he had crushed many people's primary teams along the way. Plus he played too fiercely, so many people disliked him a bit.

After all, what the audience wanted to see wasn't the player's individual ability becoming a god; in their hearts, they more wanted to see a player with exaggerated individual ability fall from the altar and start their "Lao Da" career.

So there were also many trolls among the spraying audience.

Xu Beifang did play somewhat poorly in those few rounds, so his fans couldn't find reasons to argue.

But now that the post-match results were out, the fans were triumphant.

【Blacks, speak!! Keep shouting!】

【Liquid even took two points, making people confused】

【Xu Beifang has indeed faded, but it's faded among the gods】

【1.41 data, it did kill to the first place usually, it's just that the data of these professional brothers recently is too exaggerated】

The audience's requirements actually weren't very high. Perhaps it could be said that seeing such data, many people's hearts were put at ease.

This is the CSGO they are familiar with. Previously, Xu Beifang playing A Team, and the madness of the first Inferno match—what were those things?

Who is a good person who really uses one person as two?

1.41 wasn't high compared to Xu Beifang's own data in the past few matches.

But you have to know, the average rating of 18's TOP 1 S1mple was only 1.33.

1.41 data is really considered such a carrying data.

"Xu Beifang is still ruthless enough." shox tsked, "He killed so many without a sound."

apEX rolled his eyes at him: "You didn't see that AWP four-kill?"

"I was retaking." shox replied, "Who is like you, gone at the start of every round."

Hearing shox's snide remarks, Han Dou knew he couldn't win an argument with him, so he went straight up and started taking action.

In Vitality's lounge, the members were playing around, while in the other lounge, a group of players had somewhat unwilling expressions.

They had already finished discussing the countermeasures for map three, but looking at the data on the screen, Elige's smile was still somewhat bitter.

Elige originally thought his state was poor today. This year he would be remembered by everyone like apEX in 15, Fer in 16, Rain and NIKO in 17.

But no one expected that Xu Beifang would emerge and steal everyone's attention.

And he also had to admit that Xu Beifang did play very well.

Exaggerated individual ability, coupled with Vitality's playstyle of raising a father, allowed his ability to be fully displayed.

They intended to take revenge for the previous hatred in this final, but didn't expect it to be the same plot, being ruthlessly crushed again.

Elige looked at his teammates' calm faces and also took a long breath.

Under the coach's encouragement, they regained some state, and now they could only hope.

On this map prepared for a long time, they could play at their due level.
