Chapter 361: Spoiler-style Commentary!

The off-season after ESL Cologne has officially ended, and the entire forum is very lively.

Player pre-match interviews, Major pick'em activities, discussions and analysis of team strength, and popular science by thoughtful community bloggers.

Now the atmosphere in the entire forum is fiery, making people even more looking forward to the upcoming Major.

As soon as Xu Beifang entered the forum, he swiped to G2's funny short video and instantly laughed.

As the world's number one funny club, although G2 has been away from Tier 1 major tournaments for a long time, as a top-tier "fun-seeker" team, they are still far ahead.

【Who would say that not going 3-0 is a great success in a club's pre-tournament promotional video!】

【Really, G2 knows their position very well】

【Actually, even if G2 says they want to win the Major championship, I wouldn't feel anything】

【Must think G2 is being funny, right】

So every year after the Major ends, it will also be the biggest gamble for CSGO players.

In the end, you can still exchange for two souvenir packages to get your money back.

Mainly because CSGO pick'em is relatively cheap, and the returns are relatively high.

If you can succeed in the pick'em in the Challenger Stage, Legends Stage, and the final Champions Stage, you can get the Diamond Coin of this Major.

Because the atmosphere presented by their entire club is like you and your roommates playing games together, making people feel very harmonious.

If you win the bet, you'll have a villa by the sea; if you lose, you'll go directly to the factory to screw bolts.

After determining the title, Xu Beifang opened the live stream directly.

This led to the fact that every time there is a Major match, the pick'em ratio of CSGO players is quite exaggerated.

But when this Diamond Coin hangs under your personal information panel, you can confidently mock your friends: "Do you understand CSGO!"

G2's funny atmosphere is very attractive.

【Little Xu's funny factor still needs to be strengthened】

This Diamond Coin looks like it has no practical value.

After a day of training, Xu Beifang originally planned to watch the match with his teammates.

Xu Beifang broadcasted casually on foreign platforms for two days after Cologne just ended. The popularity abroad was not bad, but the enthusiasm of domestic fans was even somewhat exaggerated.

Not counting gifts, the popularity of the live stream room was also soaring, and the number of barrages refreshing made him unable to keep up.

It's just that when they are "sick," you will often think of the scene of you and your roommates playing games, which makes people feel a bit uncomfortable.

Because when G2 is "sick," it truly makes people feel like they have a cerebral hemorrhage.

【Whoa, can still see the live stream today, it's a miracle!】

Furthermore, even if the pick'em is a mess in the end, you can even get a Bronze Coin.

Xu Beifang felt a bit bored watching the match alone, so he simply opened the live stream room to chat with the viewers.

Xu Beifang was surprised by his popularity now. He was just joking about "harvesting rice," but he didn't expect that as soon as he started broadcasting, he received two "Huya No. 1s."

There was less than half an hour before Tyloo's match started. Many netizens were waiting to watch the upcoming match. Xu Beifang's sudden broadcast instantly made many people pour into his live stream room.

Then you can hear your friends shamefully say "Gold is more valuable than Diamond" and other sophistry.

Selling at a specific time can even recover all the money for the pick'em coins, achieving the top-tier operation of "free-loading" pick'em coins.

Except for the discussions before these matches, netizens' attention was more focused on the pick'em of the Major.

"Thanks to 'Gnome Coffee Working Hard to Update' for sending a Huya No. 1..."

After consideration, Xu Beifang took the title:

"Thanks to 'Little Poetry Aiming Don't Be Eunuch' for sending a Huya No. 1..."

Viewers interested in CSGO matches will buy pick'em coins to make predictions before every Major starts.

【Beifang's brand is strong, weakening snipers with his own strength】

At this time, the value of the Diamond Coin is reflected.

So not only do players want to prove themselves in the Major, but CSGO players also want to prove that they are "experts."

And when the Challenger Stage matches officially started, because they needed to pay attention to the content of the Challenger Stage matches, they were finally free.

【Little Xu is simply a model worker in the live streaming world. He's broadcasting even when he's playing the Major】

The traffic brought by the Major to the entire game can be called terrifying.

But JackZ and shox went to the scene to cheer for G2, apEX and XTQZZZ went out shopping to relax, Zywoo didn't go out, but he just wanted to sleep.

While watching the live stream and harvesting a wave of fans' rice, this wave is simply Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire—winning to the max!

【Arrived in Berlin with no appetite, watch Danking's match at mealtime...】

【How is the anchor's training recently? Do you have confidence in bursting the old men in the Major】

Because every year when it comes to exchanging pick'em coins, there will be videos of netizens opening souvenir packages and getting good skins.

Of course, most players will not choose to get their money back.

【We don't ask for much, just perform like Cologne in the Major】

【I just noticed the title, it's a bit hard to handle. The anchor and Danking are truly good brothers】

There is everything to chat about in the live stream room, and various gift special effects fill the screen on the secondary monitor.

"Alright, that's enough for you guys sending gifts. It's already affecting the chat!" Xu Beifang is not short of money now, and he doesn't really want to eat the traffic of the live stream, more like finding a place where someone can chat.

"Mainly because you guys give too much, making me consider whether to transform into a late-night 'edge-ball' anchor."

Xu Beifang was just joking, but he didn't expect the "Nantong" in the live stream room to be even more excited, one by one sending excited emoji packs.

Fortunately, Xu Beifang is not broadcasting for the first time. Although he can't compare to Danking, the "innate live streaming saint body," his rich experience makes him handle the rhythm with ease, and he soon opened his mouth to change the topic:

"Mainly because the anchor is different from Danking, you know. Brother is a Legends Stage player, no need to struggle in the Challenger Stage, so today I can fiercely pressure Tie Dan from God's perspective."

Xu Beifang chatted with the barrage while opening HLTV's stream.

"The anchor's signature this time in the Major? I already thought about it in the first half of the year, it will maintain the same style."

"How is the state recently? I can only say the training match was okay. Whether it can be maintained later depends on the state in the match."

Xu Beifang saw the live stream screen appear and also started to explain today's task:

"Today is mainly to relax after training, come over to watch the match with the brothers, mainly for companionship."

【Can I see the homework? Want to copy Beifang's...】

Seeing this barrage, Xu Beifang logged into the client and started to show his pick'em homework.

There was less than an hour left before the Challenger Stage homework was locked. Many players who were still hesitating, hearing Xu Beifang say this, immediately got excited.

Xu Beifang also quickly showed the pick'em pictures to the water friends in the live stream room.

"Actually, the Challenger Stage is relatively easy. 3-0 and 0-3 can be placed casually, because this is too unstable, so it's very hard to bet."

The rules of the Major pick'em are that you need to choose one team to advance 3-0, one team to be eliminated 0-3, and 7 teams that can finally advance out of a total of 16 teams.

Then among these 9 choices, as long as you get 5 right, you can win this round of pick'em, and your pick'em coin will also be upgraded once and advance to the next round.

"The truly important pick'em is still these teams that can advance below." Xu Beifang explained the thinking to the water friends, "Although every year's Major will have dark horses, we are pursuing stability, so here at 3-0, I choose FURIA. This team's strength is quite good, but their state fluctuates too much. I think it's unstable."

"Here at 0-3, I chose INTZ."

Hearing this, some water friends in the live stream room questioned:

【Beifang, are you targeting Brazilian teams?】

Putting the currently hot Brazilian FURIA at 3-0, and putting the Brazilian star INTZ at 0-3, this is like wishing for Brazilian teams to die.

Xu Beifang explained: "You have to do homework before picking. We are clear about FURIA. Whether they advance or are eliminated, I'm actually not surprised, so I didn't put him in the advancement, but put him in 3-0 to bet. And INTZ, this team's performance in the last few months was not good. What do I have to trust that they can advance?"

"Here in the advancement area, I choose more old-school strong teams: G2, Tyloo, Mouz, NRG, AVANGAR, North, and Grayhound."

In this wave of choices, actually Xu Beifang was a bit unwilling to choose G2, but there was no way. He had too little contact with the teams in the Challenger Stage, so he could only pick the best among the bad, choosing an old acquaintance.

With kennyS here, he could still believe in him a bit.

Finally, the Australian Grayhound. Although Xu Beifang hadn't played against them, Xu Beifang had watched the DEMO of their matches. Their commander, called dexter, was quite good at the level of the Challenger Stage.

An excellent commander is the ability to guarantee the floor.

So he felt that Grayhound should also be able to advance successfully this time.

Xu Beifang waited for the start of the match, but received a WeChat call from Ma Xixi.

"Hey, Ma Zong!"

"You kid, why are you broadcasting secretly alone? I started broadcasting today to prepare for commentary, and suddenly found that there were so few people in the live stream room. It turns out that after looking, they were all snatched away by Little Xu!" Xixi pretended to be angry.

Xu Beifang also immediately responded: "Good guy, it seems Ma Zong is here to rub heat this time."

"Just say whether you let me rub it or not!"

"Explode some rice for me first!"

"Then forget it..."

Listening to the mutual teasing between Xu Beifang and Ma Xixi, the viewers in the live stream room were all amused.

Ma Xixi then said the serious business. He was a bit embarrassed: "Mainly because the water friends in my live stream room were calling me, saying that you were broadcasting alone, and they were bored, so they let us come over to chat."

"That's great, I'll directly enjoy a face-to-face commentary from Ma Zong."

"Hiss~" Ma Xixi made a refreshing sound, and then turned to MO and said: "MO, look at others. Do you know what is called EQ? This is how well it's said!"

MO: "..."

Who did I offend?

Xu Beifang was soon invited into the TS voice and exchanged pleasantries casually.

Ma Xixi was reading the barrage: "Xixi, can you ask Beifang if he has confidence in lifting the Major championship this time?"

"Good guy, you're pointing at me here." Xu Beifang smiled and didn't respond directly, "I will definitely go all out!"

In the StarSeries, in IEM Sydney, and even in front of various gold medal tournaments, he could say very confidently: "I will definitely win the championship."

But this is the Major. Even players like Xu Beifang and S1mple would worry about the backlash brought by setting a flag before the match.

"What is going all out!" Ma Xixi joked, "According to Beifang's logic, it should be said like this: I suggest Beifang lift the championship trophy in this Major!"

【Drop!】

【Suggestion received: Lift the Major trophy. Task difficulty 9 stars. After completion, you can get unknown rewards...】

Xu Beifang was stunned for a moment, still didn't respond directly, just smiled: "Now there is a reason that must be won."

Major championship.

In 18 Boston, NIKO's state was so terrifying. Everyone who participated in that match at the time thought Faze could finally lift the championship trophy.

But the world of CSGO is like this. Until the last moment, you can never be sure of the ending.

The group chatted casually and saw the match successfully enter the screen.

"Okay, it's our familiar confrontation between European brothers. Today's match is G2 against Tyloo. Beifang, which map do you think will be played today?" Ma Xixi guided Xu Beifang into the rhythm. Although he came over to watch the match together, he couldn't really let Xu Beifang become a background board.

In the presence of guests, the guests must be interacted with.

The Challenger Stage matches, except for the confrontations that determine advancement and elimination, are all BO1 format.

"Which map to play?" Xu Beifang thought for a while, "Mainly depends on the side selection. However, in the first round of map banning, G2 should ban Inferno and Mirage. This G2 doesn't like playing Mirage at the current stage, and they also know that Tyloo's Inferno is played well. After all, they made a name for themselves last year."

"I like hearing this." MO shouted, "We also beat quite a few teams with Inferno that year."

In the 18 London Major, when MO was in the Tyloo team, as long as they chose Inferno, they had confidence in whoever they played.

So seeing the opponent fear their Inferno, MO felt proud from the bottom of his heart.

Ma Xixi just wanted to speak, but saw the BP screen of the match appear.

G2 removes Mirage

G2 removes Inferno

Ma Xixi in the live stream room instantly widened his eyes. He immediately said: "Beifang, continue. How will the subsequent BP be?"

Xu Beifang didn't care and continued: "Tyloo's Vertigo is played very, very poorly. They will definitely ban it. Then Nuke probably won't be left either. This map is a weak map for Asian teams. Finally, they should ban Dust 2, leaving Overpass and Train. Then G2 won't choose Train. Finally, it's estimated to be Overpass."

The speed of the match's BP session was quite fast. Almost as Xu Beifang was talking here, the maps of the BP appeared one by one.

Finally, the BP result they saw, not to mention no difference from what Xu Beifang predicted, was exactly the same.

The water friends in the two live stream rooms were all stunned.

【Does Beifang know these two teams so well?】

【Did he ask Tyloo about the BP in advance?】

【The prophet is already showing his cards, what is the werewolf doing?】

【Beifang, put down the script】

Ma Xixi asked with some doubt: "Why not release Dust 2?"

From his perspective, as one of the national maps of CNCS, it must have a higher chance of winning.

Xu Beifang explained: "Dust 2 is too simple, so simple that it compares the basic abilities of both sides too much. Tyloo's defects are actually quite many now, so they shouldn't want to fight G2 on such a map. Besides, the opponent is kennyS after all."

Although kennyS's state has declined now, he was also one of the representative figures of the sniper rifle. He had countless famous scenes in Dust 2.

Listening to Xu Beifang's explanation, everyone felt that Dust 2 didn't seem so easy to play against either.

The pre-match preparation of both sides ended quickly, and the live stream room began to show the screen.

Ma Xixi shouted directly: "Okay, the match has started. Welcome everyone to watch the match between G2 and Tyloo. I am the commentator Ma Xixi for this match."

"I am the commentator CaptainMO!"

"I am the special guest Nice!"

Listening to Xu Beifang's response, Ma Xixi smiled: "Check the time!"

"54, 53, 52..."

"Right!"

It was still Ma Xixi who wanted to lead the rhythm: "G2 starts on the offensive side, Tyloo is on the defensive side. Let's see what happens in this pistol round."

"If three people defend the sewer, they have the advantage in this positional battle."

Xu Beifang retorted: "Actually, the advantage is not big. Although they heavily defend the sewer with three people, G2 is also playing a sewer-clamping-mid playstyle."

"If Tyloo fails to kill a few in the first time, the advantage of the setup actually doesn't exist. If there is no one with particularly exaggerated gunplay, the winning hand will be on Danking, who is alone at B. It depends on whether he can realize that the outside of B is not defended and whether he dares to actively come over to help."

"It shouldn't be very likely. For someone alone at B, letting him actively press out to help, he will have to take the blame for the whole team if he makes a mistake." MO brought in Tie Dan's perspective, thinking that he was more inclined to a defensive playstyle when alone at B.

The time came to 1 minute 35 seconds. The team pushing in the sewer directly bumped into Tyloo.

BnTeT on the upper level of the sewer was very hard at tapping and helping to pull. But nexa was clear-headed and didn't take the bait. Instead, he fought while retreating, very obviously waiting for his teammates to arrive.

"Only Baicai is holding the crossing point in the middle toilet. Although he temporarily dragged down the terrorists in the middle, his position has also been locked, very passive." Ma Xixi commented quickly on the things happening in the match.

"There was finally a numerical exchange in the sewer. It's just that the CT who was hiding only killed one and was quickly stolen. This wave is not profitable at all."

Seeming to see that the situation was not good, BnTeT took the initiative to press forward.

This decision was quite correct. Being surrounded, holding the gun in place is just waiting for death. He must actively fight a bloody path.

The director also immediately cut to the big brother's perspective.

But from the big brother's perspective, the water friends in the live stream room noticed another "flower point."

It seems that Danking, who was defending B alone, was rushing towards the sewer direction!

"Karrigan and Xiaogui are still shaking in the sewer; Tie Dan arrived very timely; the iron door opened! Tie Dan instantly took one out, but Hunter instantly took one back, but Karrigan's trade kill is in place!"

"This wave of Tie Dan really became the turning point of the pistol round!"

Baicai in the middle toilet was finally held by kennyS.

Instantly, G2 fell into a passive situation. Although hunter killed one relying on personal ability, the number of people was tied.

But in the 2v2 clutch, the C4 fell in the sewer, and kennyS was beaten to a residual health by Cabbage.

After locking the C4 position, Tie Dan and big brother were not reckless at all, steadily holding the gun and winning this clutch.

However, CSBOY and the water friends in the live stream room were not amazed by Tie Dan's performance at this moment.

They were more amazed by Xu Beifang's terrifying consciousness and game understanding.

"Whoa, brother, this is too exaggerated." Ma Xixi laughed, "Secretly tell us, did you steal the script?"

Ma Xixi and Wanjiqi could occasionally infer the direction of such matches through experience.

But Xu Beifang only saw a setup of both sides, and he could infer the subsequent direction of the match, and even see several variables. This truly made them feel a bit cold.

From their perspective, it was as if Xu Beifang had watched the match and came over to give them a spoiler.

Xu Beifang shrugged: "Just normal match understanding."

【So that opening part was helping Tyloo and G2 write the script】

【This is why I like watching professional players commentate. Their game understanding is truly good】

【MO is also a former professional, but he doesn't have this kind of outrageous commentary ability. Beifang is still too perverted】

【Listen to what he says, is that human talk!】

【Where is this normal!】

【The exact same plot is too showy】

【What commentary? This is a director!】

Before they could recover, they heard Xu Beifang say again: "Then let me predict for you guys again. In the next round, which is the third round, G2 is estimated to get the first score."

Ma Xixi: "???"

This sentence directly stunned him.

There is no such way to commentate.

Second-rate commentators will tell you what happened in the match just now.

First-rate commentators will tell you what is happening in the match.

The top-tier commentators will tell you the bigger the fish, the smaller the fish.

But what kind of commentary is this from Xu Beifang? You are also opening the "transparent world" outside the match!

How can you see the future screen too!

MO shook his head: "This I feel is too ridiculous."

Before the pistol round, at least both sides had formations, and there was some information to infer.

Now that he predicts the next round in the second round, he really can't understand it.

In the second round, G2 chose pure ECO.

Tyloo's defense was very stable and didn't actively go out to scout. Finally, at the cost of losing an MP9, they successfully got the second score.

At this time, they also found a clue.

The third round, which is the first long-gun round.

G2 here all had big armor and AKs, and each person could even have more than two pieces of utility.

Tyloo here had three submachine guns, one FAMAS, and one M4A1.

This firearm configuration was not at the same level at all.

Tyloo was a 3B2A opening, 3B chose to set up three people at B1 to watch the construction site.

The double A side here wanted to grab the sewer first and use MP9 to fight at close range.

It's just that I don't know what was considered later, but they retreated to the bomb site.

After G2 came to the long-gun round, the map control was orderly, and they took the map control into their hands bit by bit.

Then they carried out a wave of A-site explosive bombing.

Under the huge firearm gap, Tyloo couldn't withstand the pressure at the A site at all.

G2 won the first long-gun round at the cost of 1 for 4.

Looking at the C4 exploding at the A site, the barrage in the live stream room was swiping the screen crazily:

【Director, use your big account to speak!!】

【How can someone create a script on the spot】

【This wave is really a guess, right】

【Are we really playing the same game?】

【What kind of spoiler-style commentary?】

Ma Xixi was silent for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask: "Beifang, how did you see that Tyloo would lose the first long-gun round?"

Xu Beifang smiled: "Just a rough judgment. It's mainly because of Tyloo's firearm purchase in the second round. This commander is too greedy. How can you buy 4 submachine guns in the second round to brush money?"

"He is so greedy. Later, when he reaches the long-gun round, he is definitely reluctant to change the long gun, so there is a high possibility of entering the long-gun round with many submachine guns. Plus Tyloo's current playstyle is very stable and doesn't dare to go out to get information. With so many submachine guns entering the long-gun round, being crushed by firearms, naturally they can't win."

Ma Xixi felt knowledge slide across the cerebral cortex, as if leaving something behind.

Stunned for a long while, he helplessly said: "I was thinking before, wait until Beifang you can't play anymore, I'll pull you into CSBOY and we'll commentate together. Now looking at it, this is definitely not possible."

"Why?"

"Your commentary style is too outrageous. The match content has been spoiled by you. What are the viewers watching!"
