Chapter 378: Are you also a Mirage Master?
Watching the magical sudden stop of Xu Beifang on the big screen, and the moment he turned around to frame Zeus in CT Spawn, Xu Nanfang instantly felt the entire arena erupt like a volcano!
Many viewers had just entered the state. They originally thought that S1mple's four kills at the beginning of the pistol round were already shocking enough, but they didn't expect—
There are still masters!!
Single-handedly 1V3, also scored four kills, Xu Beifang forcibly snatched the victory of the pistol round from NAVI's hands.
The Vitality fans in the stands had already exploded!
"1V3!! Nice saved this pistol round alone!!" The English stream commentator shouted with arms raised at the scene, because the tone suddenly pulled high, it was a bit hoarse, "S1mple never expected that this gun-changing action would eventually become the foreshadowing of their loss of this point!"
He was still talking endlessly, but the voice had been drowned in the cheers of the scene.
Xu Nanfang looked at the Vitality players in the camera. At this moment, they had all taken off their headphones and looked at Xu Beifang with an unbelievable look. They were all excitedly shouting something in their mouths.
Only his own younger brother was still working hard in front of the camera, because he needed to pick up the pliers to defuse the bomb.
"Beifang won just now, right." Xu Ba had a smile on his face.
During these days in Berlin, they hadn't been playing around all the time, and Xu Nanfang also popularized some CSGO content for them.
Hando thought very simply, knowing that you have a long gun in this point, although we are short guns, we have utility to delay time.
This is normal. Being played by S1mple in the early stage, everyone thought the pistol round was going to be lost.
This move by Hando made NAVI very headache-inducing.
S1mple wasn't sure how much damage he dealt, but he could be sure that he knocked Xu Beifang's head in the end, and the opponent was definitely in a low-HP state.
When Xu Beifang and JackZ under A2 had a crossfire to take down NAVI's few Desert Eagles, S1mple directly chose to save the gun.
Although it was very painful to lose the pistol round, NAVI planted the bomb, and S1mple's economy was very good. After consideration, they made a very strange gun-buying.
S1mple Hero AK, others half-armor or full-armor Desert Eagle, plus sporadic utility, used to cooperate with this long gun.
Compared to Vitality, NAVI's atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable.
Xu Beifang didn't know that the director gave him a close-up. He just quietly defused the bomb under the excited mood.
They could only come over to clear it again, but apEX scouted in B2 at the second time, and after getting the information, he directly countered with utility.
Is this the path their son is pursuing?
He was very unhappy in his heart, but also admitted that this wave was played well by Nice.
NAVI originally played very slowly, and even the frontal attack was dragged until 20 seconds before starting.
The two teammates in CT Spawn actually didn't have any problems playing, the hook-and-hit position was already considered stable.
But just turned around, apEX gave his chest muscles "bang bang" two punches, and said full of excitement: "Brother, how does the feeling of a low-HP counter-kill feel?"
Only Xu Ma beside him was muttering: "Eyes so close to the screen, don't you want your eyes anymore……"
But didn't expect the team's big brother to forcibly fight back, coupled with the rendering of the scene atmosphere, they instantly transformed into an atmosphere group.
Soon the match came to the first long gun round.
But the remaining two teammates didn't cover a single shot.
Entered the second round.
But before their tactics could unfold at all, the control of B2 was lost.
Although Xu Beifang wanted not to be so excited in the early stage, Vitality's mood was already very high.
……
NAVI calculated that Vitality's economy wasn't particularly good, so they actively grabbed Mid in the early stage, relying on wild dry-pull, directly exchanged one-for-one with Shushu.
The first long gun round, Vitality was still with conventional defense, collecting information and habits as the main thing.
The formation of AB two points didn't move, and started to continuously continue the utility of B2 and A1, slowly dragging time.
The arena was a carnival for Vitality fans, but at this moment it also seemed like a mockery of them.
Xu Ba looked at the close-up given on the big screen, his face full of pride.
JackZ on the left also laughed loudly: "S1mple is uncomfortable now, he seems to have dealt four hundred damage, this wave of changing to Glock didn't kill you, I guess his intestines are regretful."
It was indeed shot instantly, but Zeus's action of touching out silently at the second time was a bit wrong.
It looked very good.
Can only adjust the mentality and put the focus on the subsequent confrontation.
Even if you don't understand the basic logic of the match, but the aiming level of the players, watching them pull the gun in one frame to directly blow the opponent's head, you can naturally feel how powerful it is.
Originally, according to Zeus's idea, exchange headcounts in Mid in the early stage, and then play a Mid-to-B in the second time, relying on synchronous cooperation to get headcounts.
Coupled with the feeling of the Major scene atmosphere, they finally realized why Xu Beifang wanted to play this match even if he went abroad.
Now he was a bit regretful, why did he change his gun properly? Can't he just reload the P250 honestly?
But they didn't expect that this point apEX jumped into the Sewer at the start, and silently ate Flamie on B2 at the second time, regaining the headcount.
Although middle-aged people learn things slowly, CSGO is still relatively simple.
After defusing the bomb, the cheers of the audience had calmed down, and he also restrained his mood slightly.
This led to S1mple being very aggrieved. This point was lost, and he couldn't blame others.
At least for an observer, the threshold is very low.
It was mainly because the gun configuration of this point wasn't particularly good, so the map control was biased toward conservative. Only when Xu Beifang threw the Connector smoke at the second time, he actively went to Mid to compete for a wave.
But this wave of luck wasn't particularly good, Xu Beifang brushed out actively following JackZ's flashbang.
JackZ's flash was a good flash, but electronic directly reversed the sky, and while white, he splashed water and killed Xu Beifang instantly.
Sometimes luck comes, and even gods can't stop it. Xu Beifang had no way at all this wave.
However, JackZ actively topped a wave of A1 at the second time. With only an MP9, he ate Zeus alone in the front position, regaining the numerical advantage.
However, NAVI, who didn't have much utility this point, directly threw a B Small smoke in the 4-on-4 clutch, and then dry-pulled into B Site.
This point happened to have only Shox at B Site. He forcibly fought one with an MP9 and was also killed by the cover.
Leaving a 3-on-4 retake, apEX, after consideration, went to pick up the M4A1 dropped by Xu Beifang and chose to save the gun.
"It's okay, not much economy was lost, and the gun configuration is full next point, so there is a lot of room for operation." apEX said.
The 3-on-4 clutch wasn't very easy to unfold, but JackZ got an AK47, and he exchanged the MP9 back for the M4A1.
In general, only two submachine guns were lost this point, which wasn't too bad.
"NAVI isn't that easy to collapse. The atmosphere of the CIS team is originally that kind of pressure cooker type, not to mention it's just a pistol round. You guys think too much." Wanjiqi teased, "The match has just begun."
"But the next point is the highlight. If Vitality is beaten by NAVI again next point, then it will enter the economy round, and NAVI's score can be directly overtaken."
The Vitality trio arrived in A2 to save the gun, and the director also gave a close-up directly.
In the 6657 live broadcast room, the barrage was playing memes one after another:
【Remember this AK】
【Remember this AK】
Many viewers in the live broadcast room played memes quite happily, but when the 4th round started, that AK was thrown to Xu Beifang, and the expressions of many NAVI fans changed instantly!
The fourth round started, Xu Beifang took the AK47 captured by JackZ.
He was in the second position this point, so he planned to jump directly into Mid at the first time to top forward and look for opportunities.
apEX liked to send him to the front point to fight more and more.
His sudden attack in the early stage often disrupted the opponent's preparation and could harvest a huge amount of information.
Xu Beifang's powerful frontal gun-fighting ability usually could exchange for one or more, so there was no reason not to play like this.
NAVI was originally a slow-paced team. They used some methods to make NAVI slower, more constipated, and the rhythm would naturally fall into their hands.
ZywOo was very tacit. After entering VIP, he used agile body movements to jump directly onto the Black Room.
Because of continuous gun loss, his economy wasn't particularly good, only rifles to play.
Xu Beifang jumped down following the trend. He directly threw an HE grenade toward T Spawn, originally planning to continue topping forward following the trend.
But looking at the crossing smoke given by the opponent, Xu Beifang extinguished his thoughts.
In the case of giving crossing smoke, the single-person top forward position in Mid was too disadvantageous.
Xu Beifang simply returned to the Archway and defended steadily.
"There are a lot of utility in Mid at the start, and NAVI's frontal pressure is very high! Investing so much utility at the start of this point is to forcibly take control of Mid. Once they have control of Mid, they can unfold slowly and comfortably."
Looking at NAVI's actions, Wanjiqi perked up: "NAVI not only gave utility, but the first wave of utility in Mid was very fast. They didn't even give the Archway fire, directly planning to forcibly eat the Archway and B Small!"
"Beifang is completely unaware. This wave might really be beaten by frontal cover. It seems there are quite a few people coming from NAVI!"
Wanjiqi understood NAVI's way of playing. They didn't purely play according to the slow map control rhythm of the past.
Instead, on the basis of basic logic, they were operating against Xu Beifang's point.
That's why there was the crossing smoke at the start, and flashbangs exploding continuously on the sandbags in Mid.
They didn't give Xu Beifang any room to top forward at all, just planning to limit him in the Archway, and then their main force directly went over to find the Archway to fight!
This offensive came very fast, Xu Beifang might really be in trouble!
The viewers in the live broadcast room heard Wanjiqi's tone, and their emotions also sank to the bottom.
As a first-line veteran strong team, NAVI's means were quite numerous, which was also why even though NAVI had been captured by Vitality so many times, there were still people who believed they had a not-small winning chance.
After retreating to the Archway, Xu Beifang had already grabbed a smoke grenade.
At the Archway position, the first time was basically to throw fire to form a one-way smoke, and then play slowly.
But the opposite side didn't throw fire at the first time, which made him feel a bit strange.
Don't rush, keep a smoke to help A2 continue.
Xu Beifang switched back to the gun, but the footsteps coming from the right immediately made him feel something was wrong.
So close!
Xu Beifang quickly judged that the opponent wanted to grab the Archway quickly. He didn't rush, but jumped silently behind the cover on the right side of the Archway, and then started facing the wall.
"Boom——"
The flashbang exploded, and electronic in the first position pulled out horizontally, but didn't see any enemies at the first glance.
The next second, a person floated out from the cover on the left side of the vision, and pulled back the moment he fired.
"Da da da!"
【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill electronic】
From electronic's perspective, Xu Beifang just twisted, and he was instantly killed.
Too late to be stunned, he shouted urgently in the voice chat: "Archway left-hand corner!"
Hearing his report, Flamie under the Archway, S1mple throwing flashbangs on the B Small channel, and Zeus framing VIP in the Sewer all rushed toward the Archway direction without exception.
Xu Beifang shrank back to the cover after killing the first person, but he clearly heard more than one set of footsteps just now.
He moved back two body positions immediately after pulling back and having another peeking action, confirming that the opponent didn't pull out to cover at the first time.
The first rule of the CSGO Black Forest Law—don't let the opponent determine your position.
In the confrontation between masters, even the timing of standing and crouching can affect the outcome of the gunfight.
So as long as there is time, let yourself move immediately.
Xu Beifang pulled his position to the bottom corner of the Archway, which was the piece near the Jump Platform. This was an ultimate non-pre-aim position.
Although in the case of having already fought a round just now, this wasn't the best choice, but it was the best handling he could make on the spot.
Xu Beifang's crosshair framed under the Archway, and good basic skills made his headshot line have no problems.
Footsteps rang out, and enemies appeared on the right side of the Archway again.
Before the opponent pulled out, they must have done preparatory actions, and the orientation of the body at the first time wasn't frontal.
Xu Beifang understood that he had already won!
"Bang!"
Just one shot, and Flamie was already lying down.
But the next second, he saw the shadow on the left side of the Archway and the gun barrel of the sniper rifle on the B Small channel at the same time.
NAVI's oppressive feeling struck instantly!
"NAVI's frontal assault has already arrived. How many can Beizige take in the Archway? He relied on the cover to dodge S1mple's Archway flash, directly pulled out and flashed to kill electronic! After finishing, he immediately changed position. Flamie's cover was a bit disconnected. Can this wave be covered?"
"He didn't even manage to fire, directly killed!"
"But Zeus and S1mple also came over. This wave, no matter what, must hit Little Xu!"
Seeing Zeus and S1mple's double pull, many people felt it was over.
After all, this wave of synchronous double pull that locked the position, how could Xu Beifang operate?
Fortunately, he had already killed two people, this wave wasn't considered a loss.
They watched the live broadcast room screen, now it depends on whether Xu Beifang can exchange for another one.
Just when everyone thought that Xu Beifang in the Archway was finally going to be killed, Xu Beifang instantly turned the muzzle……
The main perspective was given to Zeus, and the audience clearly heard the sound of Zeus's helmet being blown up.
"Ah!! Zeus's pre-fire didn't beat Nice. S1mple's offensive sniper is still pushing forward, but JackZ's flashbang came very timely. Although he also flashed Beifang, he also successfully persuaded S1mple to retreat!"
Zeus's precise pre-aim, even the director thought NAVI was finally going to kill the guy in the Archway, but didn't expect to see a victim's perspective.
"Beifang was successfully rescued, but he didn't slip back, but touched silently to the middle of the Archway to frame B Small directly. This is a very bold choice. ZywOo confirmed S1mple's position and also actively stepped out from the Black Room, but S1mple seemed to have killing intent perception, directly backhanded and framed the Black Room to death!"
"The moment he framed the Black Room to death, S1mple immediately opened to frame the Archway, but Beizige didn't actively look for it, still standing in the middle of the big road to frame the gun, a very bold operation."
Xu Beifang wasn't standing in the middle of the big road, but was moving left and right on the spot in this position, he was ready to pull back or pull big at any time.
This wave was purely a psychological game. He felt that at the corners on both sides, S1mple's sniper rifle would definitely come to push him.
But in the middle of the road, then he rifle vs sniper, maybe there is a chance of reaction.
It shouldn't be played like this according to reason, after all, there is already a numerical advantage.
But just like S1mple in the pistol round, sometimes the feel comes, it just feels like you can kill!
"Beizige is framing the gun on the spot, and others haven't come to help, basically maintaining the original default formation, because this bomb dropped under VIP, it's not particularly easy to guard."
"S1mple pushed over bit by bit, S1mple didn't expose the sound, now it's Little Xu's turn to think, whether he peeks from above, or walks from below."
In silence, the two players had already unfolded a confrontation of ideas.
"S1mple still chose to push from above B Small, the sniper rifle came over bit by bit to rub the point, can this shot hit?"
"Beifang has already killed three in the Archway, only half HP left, as long as it hits, he will definitely die. If S1mple misses a shot, Beifang's position will definitely be able to chase and kill him."
Under Wanjiqi's rendering, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became a bit nervous.
The audience at the scene also saw the game between the two star players, and also lowered their voices, looking at him with expectant eyes one by one.
The next second, the abstract director didn't know what he was thinking. He gave Xu Beifang more than ten seconds, and at the moment the firefight was about to start, he switched to S1mple.
They watched Xu Beifang in S1mple's lens do a small peek, and then instantly did a sliding squat pull to the right side of the Archway.
"——Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gunshots of AWP and AK47 rang out one after another, but S1mple finally fell down!
【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill S1mple】
"Beifang peeked at someone, directly a big pull!"
The director's screen switch this wave not only peeked at the audience, but even made the commentator stunned.
Although he didn't finish the whole process of the two sides fighting wits, Wanjiqi still mobilized his emotions immediately: "This wave S1mple didn't expect Nice to stand in the middle of the big road to direct traffic. After the information was peeked, he was directly torn apart by the big pull!"
"This wave is really outrageous!! All four kills are headshots. NAVI four people came to speed-push the Archway, with continuous cover, but no one could deal with Nice!"
……
"Damn, he can even hold this in the Archway?" Danking shouted, looking at Xiaogui beside him unbelievably.
Xiaogui looked at Xu Beifang's operation with full eyes, full of astonishment.
Watching Tie Dan's mouth moving beside him, he asked loudly: "What are you saying, speak louder, I can't hear!!"
The noise at the scene was too exaggerated. At this moment, they couldn't hear the voices of their companions beside them at all.
It turns out that it's not just the Galaxy Battleship that will roar!
"Listen to the sound at the scene, it's like thunder!!" Wanjiqi said excitedly, "The quality of this match today is too high, but it has just begun, and Beizige has found his state. I have a premonition that this match today will be particularly exciting!"
【This AK really made a contribution!!】
【Damn, he is like a god of war in the Archway, whoever comes dies】
【This NAVI is really sick, four people didn't cover him】
【The first two people didn't even deal damage before being killed, what can be done?】
【Feel like Beifang learned all of NIKO's Archway】
【Nice, are you also a Mirage Master?】
The barrage in the live broadcast room was scrolling wildly, and this round also ended quickly.
apEX framed Boombl4 who wanted to try in A2, and Vitality won this long gun round at the cost of 1-for-5.
They saw Xu Beifang stand up directly on the player seat, and then excitedly raised his arms and shouted!
NAVI's economy hadn't reached the point of explosion, but it was already a bit chaotic, coupled with the fact that four people didn't kill Xu Beifang in the Archway this point.
NAVI's new coach B1ad3 frowned and took the initiative to call a timeout.
He had a premonition that if they continued to play like this, they might not even get a few points in the first half before it ended.
"Why are you playing so anxiously? ZywOo and Nice on the opposite side are originally that kind of top-tier on-the-spot decision-making players. You play so anxiously, instead, you hit their comfort zone." B1ad3 frowned and shouted, "We have to exert our advantages, slow down! Slow down the rhythm again."
"We need to rely on the advantage of our gun-fighting, find opportunities at each point, instead of surrounding him alone."
"Even if you want to target Nice and choose tactics, your details must be in place. This wave is too hasty. After electronic died, Flamie's cover was two seconds late. This simply can't be connected!"
"And the subsequent utility, you can also completely use a fire to force his position, use fire to clear the point first, why dry-pull, do you think you are Tyloo!"
Zeus wanted to refute. According to common sense, their cover this wave wasn't too exaggerated.
He saw Flamie's screen out of the corner of his eye at the first time, because he ate a flash and didn't follow up, which was considered a normal disconnection.
His cover at the second time was only less than a second apart.
This was all played by Nice with gun-fighting, what is there to say.
The timeout didn't have much time left. After explaining the subsequent playing ideas, B1ad3 finally exhorted two sentences: "Still have to be slow, have to exert our strengths, and play the advantage."
"Must not be anxious!"
The timeout ended, and the score had reached 3:1.
Although the match had only started for 4 rounds, NAVI had already felt the quality of the match today.
Boombl4 pressed TAB and glanced at the record.
Nice: 10/1/1
The pressure is really great!
