Chapter 355

"Little guy, haven't seen you in half a year, let me see if you've become stronger."

"Forget it, pasha, I just want to move around a little bit today~"

"Come on!"

"How about trying 180 first?"

"Will it be too exciting?"

"It's okay."

In the hotel gym, Xu Beifang finally didn't twist pasha's arm and started the fitness training with Lao Da after a long absence.

After a little warm-up, his main project today came to deadlifts.

Keeping fit all year round allowed Xu Beifang to keep up with pasha's fitness rhythm, and even some projects surpassed pasha.

Without waiting for Xu Beifang to continue asking, pasha took the initiative to share: "After watching the finals last night, NEO and I were so blood-boiling that we prepared to stay up all night in a nearby internet cafe to rank up."

So pasha thought Xu Beifang's words yesterday were no problem, and even did it very correctly.

Xu Beifang smiled. Although he performed well yesterday, Zywoo as a sniper and apEX as a commander also played a huge role. Letting pasha and NEO come up might really have brushed up Liquid's hand feel, and the final result might not be very ideal.

"Next time it's best not to be like this, because it sounds a bit disrespectful to the opponent." pasha added, "Your personality is like this; many times you say what you want to say, but there is no big problem this time, after all, Liquid played like this."

Haven't seen each other for a long time, the two have a lot to talk about.

Xu Beifang thought about it, two old men approaching thirty, on the way to the internet cafe, shouting about who would be the first to not be able to hold on.

Watching Xu Beifang easily pull up a 200KG barbell, pasha immediately took out his phone and took a picture of his little brother's changes.

If Xu Beifang was strong enough at the beginning, maybe he could have carried them to win the match 1v4.

So, he had to seize his peak period and try his best to show his light on the field.

"Okay, definitely can't win."

However, after chatting for a while, the topic soon went to the match that ended yesterday.

After an hour of training, the two sat together and chatted.

"Just that sentence felt like I didn't get enough..."

"What have you been doing this year, it's really outrageous."

But he didn't say anything, after all, CSGO is such a game that makes people feel frustrated.

In the case of evenly matched strength, praising the opponent for playing well, the opponent will not have any thoughts.

"Guess if you can win if you go up?"

"In the second and third games, we knew how outrageous the genius boy is now. People were beaten dizzy. This frontal duel is simply impossible to beat."

The match ended last night. In fact, pasha had already congratulated Xu Beifang last night, but chatting offline at this moment, he still couldn't help the desire to share in his heart.

"In the case of a 3-0 big score crush, if you still praise Liquid's players for playing well and being in good state, that would seem a bit hypocritical."

"People were beaten dizzy, so NEO and I immediately decided to go back to the hotel to sleep, so yesterday actually didn't count as staying up all night, just slept a little less." The lost emotion didn't stay long here in pasha, he quickly added, "Seriously, your sentence last night was really a bit killing the heart."

"Then Faceit didn't know what kind of madness it had. The second game matched me with m0nesy, the third game matched me with a kid named donk, and the fourth game was Jame."

Eventually one day, he will also experience this kind of loss.

"Fitness after staying up all night, you can get a healthy corpse." Xu Beifang gave a thumbs up to pasha's habit.

"Which sentence?"

After praising Xu Beifang's performance, pasha put his arm on Xu Beifang's shoulder and said with some emotion: "Time flies so fast. Still remember a year ago, when we met on Faceit, you shouted that you were my fan, and then beat me up without mercy."

And this 180KG is not Xu Beifang's limit.

"The first game was actually played quite well, I killed 30 directly, that was so happy."

pasha originally thought Xu Beifang said 180 warm-up, just teasing, thinking 180 is Xu Beifang's limit.

Then Beifang might really become a top-tier Lao Wang... pasha thought evilly in his heart.

"Liquid is indeed playing badly, even in your post-match interview, the chat is 【Not letting Nice-sama get enough, it's really a pity!】 【It's you! stewie2K, you go solve Nice】, really don't be too funny."

Listening to Xu Beifang's yin and yang, pasha explained: "At first we planned to stay up all night, at that time the emotion came up, that was so exciting, NEO and I were both ready to control the thunder on Faceit."

A year ago, they were in the same team as Xu Beifang. pasha thought he saw the limit of the current professional players, just blaming his own state for not being there, unable to continue with Nice. However, the matches of these two days made him understand that it was not simply because they were not strong enough that everyone didn't stay in VP, but also because Xu Beifang was not strong enough at the beginning.

Xu Beifang scratched his head: "Just a simple real feeling."

Looking at Xu Beifang's smile, pasha soon sat down helplessly.

But if you crush the opponent all the way, but still praise the opponent for playing well, the opponent will not accept this favor, and will even feel that you are mocking them.

Then the two didn't play two games, and shouted to go back.

However, he didn't expect that the 180 Xu Beifang said was not pounds, but 180KG.

No one will stand at the peak forever, the world will always belong to young people.

Xu Beifang could feel that pasha was a bit lost. He was once a famous person who controlled thunder in the match, but now he is far away from the field, and even playing a ladder is difficult. This psychological gap is naturally very large.

"Seriously, yesterday's match, let NEO and me go up to play, can really win."

Saying that pasha took back his arm and gave Xu Beifang an elbow: "You kid, you really don't show mercy."

"At that time, I was looking for a team to rank up, who would show me mercy if I showed mercy." Xu Beifang silently roasted.

"After the London Major ended, we couldn't form a team to continue, it was our group's strength that was not enough." pasha patted Xu Beifang's shoulder, "But I watched the matches of these two days, you now have a group of teammates worth relying on."

"So the next Major, you must seize the opportunity, if there is a chance, I will come to see it."

"I will try." Xu Beifang smiled.

"What try, it must be!!"

"Okay, must!"

The sunlight outside the window hit the gym, the young man answered with a smile, his face full of yearning for the future.

In the morning, I had a training session with pasha in the gym, but Xu Beifang had lunch with his current teammates.

After the finals last night, although Vitality was excited, they were also hungry, and going to eat late-night snacks was mainly to fill their stomachs.

This meal at noon today has a bit of a celebration banquet look.

The location is in a German barbecue restaurant near the hotel.

Xu Beifang used tongs to grill a piece of Orleans-flavored chicken, listening to the raw meat changing color under high temperature, and making a "sizzle" sound, he already felt his appetite moved.

It's just that the chicken didn't change color completely, making him forced to wait.

"Beifang, your performance this time is really out of the circle." Zywoo stared at the barbecue, while his mouth was leading the topic, "Yesterday several of my classmates asked me if there is a person named Nice in your team, this is the first time."

The classmates Zywoo mentioned were all people who didn't play CSGO, which was enough to prove the amazingness of Xu Beifang's performance yesterday.

"After all, 1.8, it's really one person used as two people." shox shook his head, "It's just not particularly friendly to us, there is no experience at all."

His stats in the whole final were average, but Xu Beifang's exaggerated performance forcibly carried him to win the championship, making him feel no real feeling.

"I actually hope Beifang can come a few more times." Zywoo smiled cutely, "As long as the match can win, why ask for so high."

He was quite satisfied with his performance this time. As a sniper, he played the performance he should have. Under the cooperation of the team, they also won this match together.

This is not the first time they have won a major championship, logically speaking, they should not have particularly excited emotions.

But Zywoo felt that their whole team encouraged each other, overcame the difficulties along the way, and finally slowly grinded to win the championship, which was a very good journey.

JackZ divided a piece of grilled meat, and then said: "shox, you are the same, you have to adapt to this emotion, maybe next time Beifang plays a tournament 3.0 rating, you can lie down and play the match."

Xu Beifang's expression.

"Almost enough, damn it, it's getting more and more outrageous." Xu Beifang roasted.

He felt that his tournament average of 1.8 was already a matter of time, place, and people.

Occasionally smurfing state explodes, playing around 3.0 is considered a miracle.

Tournament rating 3.0, then what kind of head-down tribe?

Everyone teased for a while, apEX took a bite of the meat grilled by Old Jack, and said: "They just hope that the later matches can be played better and better."

After finishing the barbecue in his mouth, apEX put down the knife and fork and asked very seriously: "Speaking of which, what do you think of our tactical system in this Cologne?"

This lineup has been formed for 3 months, and everyone has been very harmonious in getting along on weekdays.

Handoo opened his mouth like this, everyone knew he was serious.

In this Cologne, initially in the group stage, they were still using Xu Beifang to scout for information at the front point, and then Zywoo would play such a style of play.

But subsequently, with confrontation and self-adjustment, it gradually evolved into a style of play with Xu Beifang as the core and Zywoo as the secondary C.

The overall difference between the two styles is not big, the core is mainly to let Xu Beifang enjoy more resources.

Even in quite a few rounds, shox and JackZ need to deliberately give up economy to pave the way for Xu Beifang.

This is also why pasha would say to Xu Beifang in the morning about how he found a group of teammates worth trusting.

Because this style of play sacrificed some of JackZ and shox's stats.

What kind of person is Xu Beifang, he soon got the answer from apEX's expression, naturally understood his thoughts, and smiled at this moment: "I am enjoying resources, it must be no problem."

JackZ and Zywoo, these two good people, answered as usual that there was no problem.

Handoo looked at shox at this time: "Old Six, what is your opinion?"

"Hmm?"

"If you, shox, feel that this style of play makes you feel uncomfortable, we definitely need to adjust it." apEX said, "We are a team, if this somewhat extreme way of playing makes you feel uncomfortable, then the whole team will have gaps later, I don't want to do that, so if you feel uncomfortable, we have to try to adjust."

Handoo is most worried about shox, because since the end of this match, shox has expressed several times that he has no sense of participation.

If it was before winning the championship, Handoo would not care about this problem during the team's rising period, but reaching a peak, he didn't want to cause contradictions because of these things.

shox shook his head speechlessly: "I don't even know what you are worried about, I'm just daily poisonous tongue, this style of play does sacrifice some stats, but winning the match is really easy, you know?"

"If it was 5 years ago, if you asked me to give guns to the big brother in the team and pull the gun line, I definitely wouldn't do it."

"But now even if you ask me to play the big brother position, I feel a lot of pressure."

This year, he really felt a bit powerless.

The players who appeared in professional matches are one more fierce than the other. Their old set of tactics can stably change people in the match, but wanting to explode Carry, the difficulty is really very big.

shox now relies more on experience to play.

So it's really great that the team can have a big brother stand up and play.

apEX looked at shox's expression and didn't look like a fake, and breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The atmosphere of a team is more important than anything else.

The team he imagined is a team, more a group of good friends, a group of family members.

"Since everyone has no thoughts, then we will still use this set of tactics as the core system in the early stage of the Major." XTQZZZ saw this, clapped his hands, and announced the news.

"However, everyone must be prepared that we might suffer in the early stage of the Major Legends Stage." The big bald coach spread his hands, "Understand, your teammates play too powerfully, all eyes will be on us next, so everyone's tasks will be relatively heavy, maybe have to practice a lot of new things, especially the tactical style that appeared in this match, all have to be rebuilt."

shox put down his phone and used tongs to clip a piece of beef to Xu Beifang: "Bribe you with this piece of beef, next time don't play so exaggeratedly, the workload is too big."

They are a 4-protect-1 style, but because of Xu Beifang's exaggerated performance this time, they can easily think that in the next Major, as long as it is a team with ambitions for the championship, they will conduct a lot of research on Xu Beifang.

4-protect-1, if Xu Beifang performs poorly because of being targeted, then the whole team will be relatively difficult.

Xu Beifang touched his chin and said: "I actually think that Shushu and my roles can be swapped, and Shushu can also be the object of that 4-protect-1."

"Shushu's individual ability, you also know, is also worth trusting."

Zywoo is also at the TOP level. In terms of snipers, he is also one of the few players who can compete with S1mple.

He can also do work when eating resources.

"Squeezing Shushu out to bring the rhythm is indeed possible." apEX doesn't think there is any problem with this, after all, on the playground in the finals, they have already verified this idea.

"It's just that there is some discomfort after all. If you really want to make this decision, try to practice it later."

Shushu is indeed reliable, but in that playground match, a lot of it relied on Xu Beifang standing firm in the A area.

Shushu still didn't adapt to taking the initiative to bring the rhythm, and the effect played didn't reach the best.

And not only Shushu needs to adapt, others also need to adapt to Shushu's rhythm of liking to catch timing.

As the core, Xu Beifang is very active in finding opportunities.

Zywoo likes to catch the opponent's offensive timing, the difference between these two points is still very big.

"This depends on the effect of practice in subsequent matches." XTQZZZ briefly explained the core idea and added, "However, compared to the core system, after we rest, the focus of returning to training must be on Nuke."

The Vitality crowd nodded, there is no doubt about this point.

After winning the StarSeries championship, they discussed this issue, and they must expand their map pool as much as possible, so that they truly have the strength of a top team.

After the StarSeries, their Overpass and Nuke were not very good.

Then over the past few months, with a lot of practice, Overpass has made a name for itself, and even didn't suffer much loss in tactics against Liquid.

It already has the look of becoming their specialty.

And Nuke, there are not many teams that know this map, and the number of times it is selected is relatively small.

This led to the overall strength not being practiced, and it was slightly worse in level.

In fact, now, even if they focus on other maps and let go of Nuke, there is no particularly big problem.

Among the current top teams, there are not many teams that can threaten them.

Except for Train, which can be stably banned, even if they use five maps, they can play very beautifully in top-tier confrontations.

But for teams that can truly threaten them, Nuke is really not weak.

Moreover, what improves them the most at this stage is to practice the intensity of this map.

"Okay, after talking about such a heavy topic, let's talk about something easy." XTQZZZ ate a bite of vegetables, "Everyone will pack up when they go back later, and then we will gather at the hotel entrance tomorrow morning and take a plane back to the club."

"Because the Major is going to be played at the end of the month, this vacation is not long, only about 10 days... it's just wronging Beifang, you might not be able to go home."

There is only one non-French member in the team, Xu Beifang, and it is relatively uncomfortable when facing this kind of time.

Others are in France, even if they are not in Paris, they can go home in less than a day.

"It's okay, you know, even if I go home, I play games every day." Xu Beifang smiled, he didn't particularly care about this vacation.

apEX sat next to Xu Beifang and bumped Xu Beifang with his shoulder: "Why don't you come to my house to play, Beifang, it was agreed before to take you to watch a football match."

"I'm going back to Paris and plan to go to G2 to find kennyS to play, I'll call you then, Beifang." JackZ also said.

shox smiled: "When you go back to Paris, Beifang, find a signed jersey for me, you really played well this time, my son asked me for your autograph."

Listening to his teammates arranging his itinerary, Xu Beifang felt warm in his heart.

"Hmm, if I want to go, I will notify you in advance."

After discussing for a while, after the big things were talked about, Xu Beifang was full and drank enough, and decisively leaned on the sofa and scrolled through his phone.

Although a day has passed, the discussion on the Internet has been exaggerated.

The audience is much more excited than he imagined.

Everyone is not just discussing Xu Beifang's stats, they are also learning the runboost cooperation in the last round of the finals.

There are already many players who have posted videos of themselves and their friends successfully cooperating with runboost on Twitter.

Of course, there are also abstract pictures where one position is not controlled well, and they fall one layer at 1 minute 47 seconds at the beginning, watching themselves die.

Xu Beifang even scrolled through Danking's live stream clips on Twitter. Xu Beifang didn't know if this guy was doing show effects or if his movement was just that bad.

He cooperated with Xiaogui, 7 rounds, 6 rounds fell down, and another round was jumping for a long time without launching, and was stolen by the opponent pressing over.

Xu Beifang's evaluation of this is only one: "Enough Tang!"

If it weren't for the Tyloo team logo in the live stream, it's hard to imagine these two guys are professional players.

This also proves that this technique is slowly being known to everyone, and if they want to use it in the future, the effect might not be that good.

However, Xu Beifang didn't care much. This tactic was originally to hit a surprise, and it was enough to use it as a big move once.

It's not that it can't be used later, but it has to catch the opportunity to let the B-site CT's attention be negligent.

Xu Beifang was not particularly surprised that netizens slowly practiced this technique.

What surprised him was that the tricky netizens also researched the Spider-Man position he explored.

Compared to runboost, that position is a bit tricky, and it requires special techniques to stand on the edge of the steel bar.

Xu Beifang originally thought no one would be able to research it.

But he still underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for being an old six.

Although you will fall down if you slip, there are still people who persistently researched the way to go up.

Even if the success rate of going up is very low, he still scrolled through many ladder screenshots posted by netizens. On this map of Vertigo, the scene of CT missing one person at the beginning appeared too frequently.

However, this Spider-Man position attracted some controversy.

Because the position is special, so on the forum, some people questioned Xu Beifang for maliciously using bugs.

In fact, this special selection of positions has also been used by other teams, but as long as it is not like Olof's triple boost using the map design defect bug, generally speaking, there is nothing, just see if Valve changes it later.

Even if this player questions it, it is not a big deal.

However, as a background board, stewie2K liked it under that player's Twitter, which made this matter start to ferment.

【This is a bit disgusting, maliciously using bugs, Olof the second, right】

【Indeed, this point is a bit affecting the map balance】

【I feel Liquid is hard to hold, I feel that if that rhythm is not broken, there is a chance to play into Map 4】

It was originally just a question from a community player, but when a professional player came down, the situation was a bit different.

The community's remarks made it seem as if Liquid wouldn't have lost without that round.

Xu Beifang posted a tweet about this: "This is at most a map feature, the map bugs I know have a greater impact than you imagine..."

Not long after his tweet was sent, he saw Valve reply below:

"?"
