Chapter 371: Super aim deployed!
"apEX's command is relatively rough. As long as I maintain this state, there is still a chance to win later. Then for this long gun round, our B-point defense will be as discussed before, using utility to delay time, but the necessary utility exchange should still be there, don't let Nice know that our B-point is playing too cowardly, otherwise, the pressure on the A-point will be too great."
Before the long gun round started, Aleksib gave some instructions to his teammates.
Being able to gain an advantage over Team Vitality by relying on thinking made him feel very good, but he also understood that apEX was never the top commander; he was better at utilizing players. So they had to slowly drag the match into their rhythm, and the most important problem here was in the Banana Road, after all, Xu Beifang's Banana Road dominance was too exaggerated.
Now he was worried that the B-point was playing too aggressively and was pushed flat by Xu Beifang in one wave, and worried that the pressure given was too little, leading to too little information and the overall play being too passive.
This is the pain of top-tier professional confrontation, needing to consider too many factors.
However, the tactics had already been issued, and after the countdown ended, the ENCE group still went to their respective defensive areas according to the arrangement.
Xu Beifang still came to the Banana Road as usual.
After changing defensive areas, the entire team considered whether to change his offensive position to the A-point side, trying to let others handle the Banana Road.
But the problem was, they just tried simply, and in head-on confrontation, no one in Team Vitality could play better than him in the Banana Road, so in the end, he returned to the Banana Road.
When aiming, Xu Beifang seemed to be able to feel the suffocating mood of the fly head.
"sergej stepped on the sandbag, Aleksib stood on Box 1, they still have a lot of utility in their hands, preparing to use utility to delay for a while." But Ma Xixi looked at Xu Beifang's extremely fast forward movement, and a smile appeared on his face, "But Little Xu here doesn't intend to play any utility exchange with you anymore, directly wanting to start moving roughly!"
He thought he was steady enough to supplement the Stone Slab smoke so early, but he didn't expect that Xu Beifang, who had just extinguished the fire in the middle, had already stuck to the Stone Slab.
2. Through the trajectory of this fire, he could determine that the other person in the B-point was standing on Box 1!
Xu Beifang determined Aleksib's position, his mind just roughly considered the playstyle, and he rushed in.
This point full utility, under his arrangement, the A-point made an A2-floor design.
And then rushed forward directly to start charging.
This guy isn't afraid of eating utility at the near point or being counter-fired?
Truly a madman!
sergej couldn't help but complain in his heart, but more was the worry for Aleksib.
He looked at the time, it was only 1 minute 35 seconds.
apEX suddenly heard Xu Beifang wanting a flash, and was also a bit flustered, hurriedly looking for a position to give a flash.
Nice should be falling back now; at the very least, they can stall until the retake.
Fly head is cute.
Their B-point could play slightly more aggressively.
Not sure if the opponent had a big sniper rifle, so the first Barrel anti-push fire definitely had to be thrown.
Aleksib's voice came from the voice chat: "Can be not anxious, you can use smoke to delay for a while, and if there is someone, I can directly use utility to cooperate with you to counter-flash, can play slightly oilier."
But Xu Beifang obtained quite a lot of information through this utility.
After throwing the Barrel fire, Xu Beifang originally wanted to step on the Barrel to see the head of the Yellow Wall, but the opposite side counter-threw a middle fire, and Xu Beifang could only retreat to the corner of the Tree position.
After all, if he died, only Aleksib was left in the B-point.
sergej stood on the sandbag, using smoke to delay a wave, and when the time came, he would give a Barrel fire and Stone Slab smoke, and could continue to delay for a very long time, so the pressure of this positioning overall wasn't great.
But he still couldn't back-flash this flashbang, and couldn't even wait for him to retreat to under the sandbag. Accompanied by the sound of ak47, he died directly on the sandbag.
Fortunately, he saw Aleksib's movement was very fast. The moment he reported the point and was flashed, he immediately switched to utility and started counter-firing.
sergej nodded, he also chose to be steady, and immediately gave a smoke.
Xu Beifang looked at the position; the opponent's fire mainly burned the Recess and couldn't cause an impact on him.
He rushed in, and saw a fly head jumping down from Box 1.
But he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said directly: "Extinguish the fire directly, and then help me grab a Stone Slab flashbang."
But Xu Beifang was faster than the flash. In the confrontation of CSGO, many will be disconnected because of opportunities.
So at the moment of judging this information, Xu Beifang shouted at the voice chat: "Dou Dou, help me give a Police flash!"
He didn't have the idea of covering the footsteps at all, but the Barrel near-point fire helped him influence the CT's judgment.
"Nice followed the flash and rushed out." sergej reported the point and couldn't help but complain, "Is he that daring?"
"Little Xu relied on a simple cooperation with Dou Dou at the start, easily getting the opening kill of this round, but Aleksib here reacted very quickly, directly throwing fire, wanting to take back the Banana Road Barrel map control, but what is the situation with Beifang? Directly stepping on the fire and rushing forward, wanting to forcibly occupy the near-point control?" Ma Xixi felt a bit confused about this action.
sergej, as a genius teenager, reacted very fast, and dodged the flash the first time he saw it.
This wave, according to common sense, seeing it and stopping is the most correct choice.
【nice+apEX Flashbang used ak47 headshot to kill sergej】
With a "chi" sound, the middle fire was extinguished. From the God's perspective, the audience could clearly see Xu Beifang in the Tree position switching his knife and walking forward.
He not only wanted to get the near-point control, he also wanted to directly take down the B-point!
But the moment the smoke was thrown, he suddenly saw a flashbang flying out of his field of vision.
It was a double B start, otherwise, there should be someone standing at the Yellow Wall to supplement the gun at the first time.
sergej was holding a gun silently on the sandbag, and the middle smoke thrown by the opponent let him know that the middle had been stepped on.
"Beifang, do you want to extinguish the fire for you?"
So he wasn't anxious, choosing to hold for a few seconds.
A fire suddenly fell from the sky, and the CT's extremely fast reaction speed indeed gave Xu Beifang quite a lot of pressure.
But Xu Beifang has no feelings!
"Little Xu stepped on the fire and started rushing forward directly, the fire covered his footsteps, Aleksib didn't react at all, he was still considering changing positions, but Little Xu had already rushed to his face, and he used ak to hit one in the face again, completing a double breakthrough!"
"The Police supplement defense xseveN just arrived, can he supplement Little Xu?"
"But apEX's flashbang came just right, this cooperation is perfect, Beifang pulled over and directly sprayed the xseven who was completely flashed to death, this wave ENCE's B-point was directly broken by Little Xu alone, Beifang's breakthrough is simply terrifying!" Ma Xixi screamed in the live stream.
【Back, all back!】
【Man! That God of Banana Road is here!】
【This wave of timing was all grabbed by Little Xu】
【Right, why hit A, just let him go and break through】
【Beifang is really not afraid of death, stepping on fire and rushing forward】
【The most outrageous is that flashbang, this cooperation】
【Pity, missing one would generate a perfect moment】
【God, generate a perfect moment...】
MO recalled: "When Little Xu was in VP, when we Tyloo played them, it was about this feeling, he always coldly gives you a big wave, and you just can't stop him."
Even Mingrixing couldn't help but come out and say: "Feels like he is playing the game from God's perspective, he knows what the opposite side is thinking."
Xu Beifang got a triple kill head-on in the B-point, and shouted directly in the voice chat: "Bring the bomb over quickly, brothers, the B-point has been broken by me!"
"Coming coming, Beifang, don't rush forward, be steady!" apEX was a bit confused, but his teammate directly poked through the B-point, which was definitely something to be happy about.
He called his teammates and brought the bomb over happily.
Successfully entered the bomb site and planted the bomb, and he reminded again: "Don't go over to pick up guns this time, the opposite side can afford to buy in the next round, just be steady and win this point."
After confirming that ENCE had no desire to retake, shox couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Beifang: "Brother, what's going on with you? We're still probing on A Site, how did you manage to pierce through the opposite side?"
Shushu nodded frantically: "Exactly exactly!"
shox pretended to be angry: "Don't do this next time, you make us have no game experience at all."
He couldn't help but turn his head and question: "But how can there be Dou Dou's assist!"
"What words! What words!" apEX said angrily, "My two flashbangs were full!"
But after saying that, apEX laughed himself: "Actually, this wave was just good luck. The first flashbang blinded them completely, but Beifang rushed too fast, and the second flashbang didn't follow up at all, but it just happened to blind the people from ENCE who were retaking."
Compared to Team Vitality's joy, ENCE's atmosphere was slightly tense.
sergej sent out the opening kill, and also watched the whole process of several teammates dying in this point, and couldn't help but complain: "This nice is really a timing hero, timing was all grabbed by him."
His was still okay, considered to be caught by the opponent's counter-flash.
But Aleksib here, although he heard the sound of stepping on fire, thought the opponent stepped on fire and retreated, who knew it was stepping on fire and coming forward.
When Aleksib saw Xu Beifang in the air, his soul was scared away.
Finally, xseven was considered unlucky, just came out from the long corridor and ate a flash and was killed.
This resulted in them not even firing a shot head-on, and were directly torn apart.
They were all very unconvinced.
"This wave was indeed not handled well." Compared to sergej's unconvinced, Aleksib admitted the fact.
He didn't think Xu Beifang was lucky, more that his ability to grab opportunities was strong.
Just normal people, who would dare to actively come out to fight so early at the Stone Slab near point.
And then meeting the Barrel counter-fire,
They felt that being caught in their timing this time was more because Xu Beifang had grasped their psychology, and his targeting was maxed out.
One can only say, as expected of Nice.
"Next, let's have three people play Banana Road. Nice is playing so aggressively, we can use utility to blast them. At the very least, don't be like now, where we're all wiped out shortly after the round starts." Karrigan saw it very clearly, "A lot of this wave was because the connection between us was disconnected."
In this wave, they were almost all caught and killed one-on-one by Xu Beifang.
He felt that his calling today had no major flaws; as long as his teammates didn't fall behind in frontal duels, they would have a chance to win.
In the next round, the early script went according to his ideas. Nice kept exchanging fire and utility with them on Banana Road. He thought his goal had been achieved, but he didn't expect Vitality to unfold their signature attack—flying to the Second Floor.
allu's AWP missed and he was eaten up. Although aerial barely managed to take one and a half, A Site had already fallen.
Karrigan only reacted at this moment that apEX still had such a specialty; it was simply disgusting!
Whose tactic uses their star player as bait!
When they asked Xu Beifang for his health after the round ended and received a reply of 88, they were even more speechless.
They poured three sets of utility into Banana Road, but this Xu Beifang was like he had added a 【6 Blue and White Porcelain】 buff; his damage reduction was maxed out.
Are you kidding me!
And the painful thing for them came: with enough economy, Vitality came over directly to hunt for guns.
Although ENCE managed to trade 3 kills relying on cover, their guns were all gone.
The score reached 4:2.
In the next round, they were forced into an ECO.
Entering the ECO round, ENCE chose a 5A heavy defense to block the site, leaving B Site completely empty.
In this round, they tried hard to stall for time, and Karrigan was also frantically explaining his subsequent ideas on how to limit Nice's performance, otherwise, it would be too difficult for them to score later.
And after this economy round, ENCE continued to call a timeout.
The appearance of this timeout made apEX somewhat anxious: "I feel like the opponent is going to start playing unconventional tactics. Beifang, should you be more steady next? Let's hold from the back first."
Xu Beifang shook his head: "You're overthinking it. This is Karrigan's usual trick: calling a timeout after an economy round to grind the opponent's mentality. When you think he's going to call a timeout to play unconventional tactics, he still plays the original routine."
"You think ENCE is on the third floor, but actually they are still on the first floor."
apEX understood Xu Beifang's explanation and his eyes lit up: "If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have remembered. It seems ENCE has played this tactic a few times, but they should also have the possibility of playing unconventional tactics, right?"
"This is just like when I played a flying floor attack earlier, and in the second round, I took the initiative to call a timeout. The opponent thought we were going to play other tactics, but we came for another flying floor attack, and the opponent definitely wouldn't have expected it!"
shox slapped his forehead and gave apEX a thumbs up: "Enterprise-level understanding!"
However, he did admit that the idea apEX mentioned really could work.
In the tactical game of calling, when the opponent cannot predict how you are going to play, the tactic is actually already half successful.
"They had a 3B 2A opening last round, and they gave utility on Banana Road early on," Zywoo reminded.
"Shall we just rush A?" JackZ suggested.
apEX shook his head: "Not easy to handle. I remember they blasted utility down early, and then let people go back directly. The retake speed is very fast."
"Let's play normally, but Beifang, be careful on Banana Road. Let's shift our overall map control formation towards A, take control of Mid first, and then turn back to control Banana Road in the second timing."
After the tactics were roughly discussed, Xu Beifang arrived at Banana Road as usual after the countdown ended and threw fire at the Barrel.
After throwing the fire, he began to quietly collect information at the T Spawn.
After he threw the Barrel fire, the CT countered with a T Spawn smoke, a Tree Position fire, and a Tree Position HE grenade.
Very targeted, indeed.
However, he didn't hear any chaotic sounds other than the fire.
With enough information collected, Xu Beifang put himself in their shoes and thought about what he would do if he were an ENCE player at this moment.
Holding the mouse again, he began to pre-aim.
"It seems that because they are worried about ENCE playing some unconventional tactics, Vitality is not in a hurry to unfold their tactics; overall, they are still seeking stability!"
"It's just that there's a 3B opening here, and they gave utility directly to clear Banana Road. After giving the utility, xseven started to retake A Site, and sergej wanted to come over to clear Banana Road. The Tree Position is fully burned, now we just need to watch the Recess."
"The pre-aiming is no problem... Ah!!" Ma Xixi shouted in surprise, because he didn't quite understand this operation, "Beifang was AFK at the T Spawn for a long time, and as soon as sergej moved, he stepped out and sprayed through the smoke to kill him?"
The live stream room was instantly filled with question marks.
"Nice is at the T Spawn, but I'm not sure if there's anyone in the Recess," sergej reported helplessly.
His attention this wave was entirely focused on the Recess, but he didn't expect the threat to ultimately come from the T Spawn blocked by the smoke grenade.
Karrigan's slender eyebrows furrowed. He didn't respond but continued to push forward a bit.
The opponent killed sergej, so they might think Banana Road is safe now. If he could seize the opportunity to hang in the Recess at this time, he could almost liberate the defense of B Site.
Even if the opponent chose to turn back to attack B in the second timing, at this engagement distance, he could at least trade one.
Taking advantage of the fact that the T Spawn smoke hadn't dissipated, he walked silently all the way, while his crosshair pre-aimed at the Recess.
"Although one was killed through the smoke, Karrigan still wants to come over to clear Banana Road. This decision is very bold, but the benefits it brings might also be very high..." Although Ma Xixi was surprised by Xu Beifang's kill, mixing a spray after the first round of fire dissipated could also be attributed to conventional operations.
But he watched as Xu Beifang peeked out again in the director's view, and the subsequent operation left him somewhat speechless.
Xu Beifang originally peeked out with his crosshair aimed at the position where sergej died, which was the left side of the Barrel. But Xu Beifang didn't know what he was thinking, and pulled his crosshair directly to the right.
Then the bullets of the AK-47 were sprayed out directly.
"Da-da-da!"
The bullets passed through the smoke grenade and hit Karrigan, who was walking silently and pushing forward, with precision.
"Karrigan just pushed forward, but Beifang's crosshair sucked onto him directly!! What is this!!" Ma Xixi was stunned, "Mixing two sprays in a row, and in two different positions. As soon as the opponent walks out, you mix, and the crosshair is locked on directly!"
When Xu Beifang got his first kill through the smoke, the live stream room was already full of question marks. With another kill through the smoke, the confused barrage filled the screen directly.
【You tell me this isn't a cheat?】
【Super aim deployed!】
【Completely meets the principle of beyond doubt】
【You don't shoot when you have a frame?】
【If this isn't a cheat, I'll eat it!】
The viewers were all stunned. They thought that getting one kill on Banana Road this wave by luck would already be very rare.
But Xu Beifang's second kill crosshair sucked directly onto Karrigan; the watchability was maxed out.
"Really, regarding map understanding and the ideas of the opponent's tactical implementation, he understands too well," Ma Xixi teased, "Xiao Xu, I'm trying my best to cover for you this wave. Don't forget to give your buddy some rice after the match ends."
MO also chimed in: "The referee is watching from behind with spirit. He must be thinking, I didn't even blink!"
Xu Beifang's two kills through the smoke really hyped up the audience.
However, although he got two kills, the match was not over.
Karrigan was stunned after being killed through the smoke. This illogical kill left him not knowing what to say.
But as a caller, he ultimately had to issue instructions, letting the two teammates retake, leaving allu hanging at A Site.
If it couldn't be done, then just let allu enter jametime.
But Vitality was terrifyingly calm. Xu Beifang got two kills in B Site, but they didn't exert any pressure on B Site. apEX predicted that they might retake, so he turned around and went to A Site for an explosive bomb attack.
allu, carrying the AWP, forcibly took two, but was ultimately eaten up.
Vitality successfully planted the bomb on A Site. Although it was a 2v3 clutch, it was somewhat difficult to turn back and retake A.
So ENCE could only choose to save their guns.
"Does the director understand?" Ma Xixi said expectantly, "Replay those two kills. They really look like a lock."
MO said: "This wave actually wasn't luck. Xiao Xu's two pre-aims and firing were very purposeful. It should be a prediction of the opponent's movement trajectory."
As their voices fell, they saw the director perform a kill replay.
The director even deliberately slowed it down.
Xu Beifang pre-aimed at the T Spawn and then pulled out directly. From the X-ray perspective, the first bullet hit sergej's body, and the second bullet hit his head directly.
Then came the second pre-aim. Peeking out again, he seemed to have thought of something; he pulled his crosshair more than a body length to the right and then started mixing directly.
"Look at these two kills, both started hitting people from the first bullet. It wasn't that kind of tentative smoke mixing; this is the product of consciousness," Ma Xixi gasped, "This guy is terrifying."
As the director's footage ended, the score reached 6:2, and ENCE called a timeout again.
Because there was really no other way. They had finally discussed a tactic, wanting to rely on the default to make Vitality feel at a loss.
But Vitality didn't fall for it at all, and this B Site was just trying to get full information, yet they were directly mixed to death by Xu Beifang for two kills.
sergej and Karrigan were both numb.
They didn't even see the person and were instantly killed. What is there to play?
In these few confrontations, they only had frontal duels during the clutch.
The originally hot hand feel had now gone cold.
So Karrigan could only call a timeout to adjust their hand feel and mentality.
sergej's expression was somewhat painful: "This guy is too exaggerated. There wasn't even a chance for a frontal duel on Banana Road. What is this?"
Karrigan felt that compared to the chance for a frontal duel, Xu Beifang's methods on Banana Road were really numerous.
Just these few rounds of confrontation had already shown his foundation as the world's number one Banana Road player.
When it was time to fight, he never hesitated; in the early stages, he would push to a very forward position to find them to fight.
But when it wasn't time to fight, they would open with 3B utility, and it could only knock off less than 20 of his health.
"Adjust later, save money for allu to buy an AWP, let allu's AWP take the initiative to lead the rhythm, and we will play standard utility exchange on B Site, that's enough."
Karrigan thought very thoroughly. Now that he and sergej were cold on B Site, it would be too difficult to rely on them to gain a particularly large advantage in the game later.
If they couldn't beat the opponent on Banana Road, then let A Site take the initiative to find opportunities, and use the information or kill advantage gained from entering A Site to help B Site relieve pressure.
His idea was quite good. After saving money for the first long gun round, allu also successfully seized the opportunity and gained a kill advantage. Later, relying on Karrigan's operations, they also narrowly won a round.
It's just a pity that Vitality adjusted very quickly, and in the subsequent pushes in the two areas, they became very active.
Zywoo, Xu Beifang, and JackZ frequently started to exert force on the front, and many times, less than 30 seconds into the round, they had already fallen into a 3v5 or even 2v5 clutch.
Karrigan's state as a caller today was very good, but a clever woman cannot cook without rice.
The others on ENCE couldn't win in the duel, and he had no way out.
CSGO is ultimately a game of gunplay. All tactical games serve the gunplay. The frontal gunplay had already deformed, and the subsequent matches were almost pushed over in one wave.
Finally, the first half ended, and the score was fixed at 12:3.
"It's just exaggerated, this score!" Ma Xixi had a smile on his face, looking at the huge score on the big screen and shaking his head.
"Really, when Inferno was selected, I thought Vitality would be the side to gain the advantage, but I didn't expect the score gap to be so large. As the attacking side, they made the CT unable to fight back, and Beifang has further proven the strength of his world's number one Banana Road!"
Ma Xixi looked at the post-match data and couldn't help but laugh: "23 kills, 8 deaths, 149 average damage per round. He alone killed more than the three people on the opposite side combined."
"Karrigan has been beaten to 2-12 on Banana Road, but there's really no way. They don't have any chance to duel on this Banana Road; they are almost killed instantly upon meeting. Beifang's expressive power on this map is quite astonishing."
"Now there is only one suspense: is 3 points really a stable winning score?"
The score gap was very large, but Vitality would not take it lightly because of this.
After coming to the second half, they still followed the plan to set up, the conventional 3A 2B positioning.
Xu Beifang and Zywoo communicated simply, and the two chose to hide one and play one at the Link.
They had seen ENCE's pistol round tactics on this map; they liked to play Link to A. If this design really matched, it could play a huge role.
Xu Beifang hid in the Recess, waiting quietly for information.
"The opponent is attacking B!" JackZ shouted loudly.
【JackZ killed Aerial with a USP headshot】
At the same time, Xu Beifang saw the kill information appear in the top right corner, and then gunshots began to erupt on B Site.
"Use utility to stall, we are starting to retake from CT Spawn!" Xu Beifang shouted in the voice chat, and then quickly started to retake B with Zywoo.
But ENCE chose a slightly strange tactic here.
They threw a Long Corridor smoke and a Platform smoke, choosing to use flashbangs to rush CT Spawn.
JackZ at CT Spawn was exposed to ENCE's tactics, but JackZ had become much smoother in his movement during this time because he needed to save his gun.
After countering with an Under Platform smoke, he immediately jumped back directly after being flashed.
Then, after recovering his vision, looking at the enemies rushing in front of him, he was forced to fight back.
【JackZ killed sergej with a USP headshot】
【JackZ killed allu with a USP headshot】
Xu Beifang looked at the kill information in the top right corner and shouted excitedly: "Good gun!!"
However, after taking three in one wave, JackZ was still traded by the opponent.
apEX also learned to be smart this wave. In the situation where he didn't see anyone on the front at the first moment, he hid directly at the Dead Point.
When ENCE finished off JackZ, they came over to clear the site and discovered apEX's figure. Vitality's retake had already arrived.
It didn't even need Xu Beifang to make a move; apEX and Zywoo joined forces to get the last two kills.
After the round ended, Xu Beifang extended his fist directly to JackZ: "This wave was played too well, I just saw your ID floating in the top right corner."
JackZ also smiled, "This wave was pure luck. The opponent was in my face, I could only output as much as possible, and then I pointed them all to death... ENCE's hand feel was all beaten away by you in the first half."
This pistol round was originally a new tactic for ENCE. They wanted to rely on this new trick to help them get a point and try to save themselves in the second half.
But in the pistol round, it was a 5-for-1 trade, and they couldn't even plant the bomb, so there weren't many opportunities left.
Karrigan chose to ECO directly, and the match entered the long gun round as expected.
Under JackZ's operation, Zywoo also directly got the AWP in the first long gun round.
After the countdown ended, he called Zywoo to perform a simple cooperation.
He let Zywoo's AWP hold Mid directly at the T-junction, and then Xu Beifang pressed down against the wall on the right side of Mid, using the M4 to hold the Side Path directly.
The person controlling the Side Path for ENCE didn't react at all that Xu Beifang was so bold in the first long gun round and was directly killed by Xu Beifang in one spray.
allu, who was defending against the push in Mid, heard his teammate's report and hurriedly pulled out horizontally, wanting to trade Xu Beifang.
Zywoo didn't let Xu Beifang down, and the AWP killed allu with one shot.
1 minute and 33 seconds into the round, Xu Beifang and Zywoo each got a kill and then retreated directly to the back point.
Karrigan looked at this 3v5 clutch and just sighed helplessly.
There wasn't much utility for this point, and the overall tactic was difficult to play.
The default had just begun, and two people were already lost. Subsequent pushes could only rely on individual ability.
Now ENCE's group's hand feel was cold, and only a miracle could work.
But the miracle ultimately didn't appear. Their probes were broken through one by one, and in the end, they only traded one apEX and hastily lost this match point.
The score was fixed at 16:3.
Vitality took the first game in this BO3 that concerned qualification!
