Chapter 393: The world is focused on you!

Everyone watching the match was surprised by Xu Beifang's boldness. You have to know this was the Major final stage; if any decision wasn't handled well, it could cause the team's morale to plummet.

The psychological pressure in this level of confrontation was quite exaggerated.

But Xu Beifang still dared to play this game of wits knowing the opponent had a defuse kit.

It could only be said that this was the confidence of a star player.

After this round, Vitality's momentum increased quite a bit. Xu Beifang's outstanding performance also infected his teammates. From the audience's perspective, the pressure Vitality applied from the front was clearly greater.

However, Astralis, as one of the most resilient teams in the world, wasn't that easy to be crushed.

But Xu Beifang's initial idea was to make the opponents think he was at the bomb site, and then he would catch a timing at the Sandbag to bring the numbers back, trying to create a situation where Zywoo might be able to make a play.

The moment Xu Beifang landed, he crouched and sprayed a burst at xyp9x's position.

They had thought Astralis might break the deadlock, but they didn't expect them to break it in this way.

The two people in Mid had plenty of utility and could rely on counter-utility or flashbangs to counter-spam, disrupting Astralis's map control rhythm.

Xu Beifang shouted: "Don't counter-smoke!"

【It's a pity, there were a few rounds of mistakes. Otherwise, I guess winning the pistol round could have ended Map 1 directly.】

Astralis members didn't know the photographer was filming. At this moment, they didn't have the energy to care about these things. They just watched Nice on the other side of the stage shouting loudly against those cheers. He didn't say any special mocking words, just venting the suppressed emotions in his heart.

At this moment, emotions surged up, but he finally put down the info: "gla1ve was wallbanged by us at the Terrorist Spawn, but no one should have stepped on the close position."

He immediately raised his gun to chase, but the moment he dragged his crosshair over, the opponent turned in the air and jumped out of the smoke grenade in a very strange arc.

"Defend against the unconventional side-path first, then slowly push forward," Wanjiqi quickly explained the confrontation intentions of both sides, "dupreeh was sent into Banana a second later, but he was hit by Handoo's HE grenade head-on and became half-health immediately."

【Teammates, do something! Xu Beifang has already killed 27!】

Xu Beifang clenched his right fist and shouted excitedly: "That's it, brothers! It's not that we can't win; we just didn't find the right rhythm before!"

When the main force was engaged in a firefight, xyp9x quietly sneaked into the A site with the bomb.

The snipers of both sides had a confrontation a second later.

But in reality, from the moment the kill feed floated out from the top right corner.

apEX thought for a moment: "The main thing is still the map control timing. Let's not buy sniper rifles this round, but invest more in utility. At the start, throw deep smokes for Mid and T-Spawn to suppress them from both angles, creating an illusion for Team Astralis that we are going for an unconventional aggressive push."

"Bang!"

【Nice+apEX used M4A4 to kill dupreeh】

Because gla1ve had told them not to be reckless before, Astralis members were all choosing their own gun positions.

"At that time, no one thought we could win the championship, no one thought we could win, but we still overcame various difficulties and lifted that trophy."

There was really no way. gla1ve was too accurate this round, almost killing people in a spinning mode.

apex heard this and stood up immediately, saying: "Now is not the time to find out whose problem it is. Now we have to think about how to start scoring!!"

The score reached 9:15.

ZywOo, holding the AWP at Connector, instantly locked down the Magisk who was jiggling Mid, but when he tried to flash back and peek again, he was locked down by device's sniper rifle. This exchange resulted in a one-for-one trade.

"gla1ve, what are you doing? You sprayed a burst in the Terrorist Spawn smoke and killed apEX and JackZ!" Ma Xixi was puzzled, "What is this? Danish core technology, hard-locking!"

"1v1, now both sides have confirmed the positions. Next is the battle of gunplay!"

On the screen on the right, it was also full of question marks.

"Confirmed that there is no one in the Sewer and close to the Terrorist Spawn. device threw a flash, and dupreeh and xyp9x came over to stick to the wall and counter-rush."

After Xu Beifang dealt with Magisk, he actively sneaked onto the second floor of the Terrorist side, wanting to pin down the enemies coming from the side path first.

Xu Beifang could clearly hear his heartbeat at this moment. Adrenaline was soaring, and emotions had been amplified.

Inferno was a relatively balanced map, and the win rates of both offense and defense were similar. So, at the beginning of the second half, Vitality was equivalent to starting with a 3-point lead, already winning at the starting line.

xtqzzz saw that the situation was not right and applied to the referee again to continue a timeout.

Finally, in the somewhat desperate eyes of the fans, Astralis changed their momentum in the second half and took the match point with an exaggerated winning streak.

Round 26.

Astralis originally intended to play a silent contact on Banana, but didn't expect Xu Beifang to pre-fire and peek out, instantly killing dupreeh. device didn't hold the angle either.

Wanjiqi shouted on the commentary stage: "Zywoo!! He finally stood up and won the clutch!!"

Footsteps walked toward the Terrorist Spawn. Xu Beifang peeked out from the smoke grenade and sprayed a burst at the back of the Terrorist's head.

"You see Vitality suppressing them in the first half, but in the end, they were only behind by 3 points. This score still has room to operate in the second half."

This not only affected the outcome of Map 1 but also affected the subsequent state of the players.

Ma Xixi couldn't help but say: "Astralis is really an old fox. Knowing Beifang was shooting in the B site, they turned around and rotated without looking back. But they didn't expect that this point didn't need Beifang to clutch at all; Zywoo had already covered the situation!!"

【shox's forward push this time was too critical】

Magisk, who had just run to A1, subconsciously turned his head and peeked toward the Terrorist Spawn.

The confrontation pressure was huge now. Even with a 5v3 start, gla1ve didn't rush to push quickly but issued an order to probe A, which gave him the opportunity.

"A simple confrontation in Mid, and Astralis is coming again. They started rotating to B silently!" Wanjiqi said puzzledly, "Did they get any key info?"

A strong sense of unease spread in his heart.

After all, the score was only 10:15; they still had five rounds to chase.

xyp9x keenly heard the footsteps on the second floor of A. He shouted immediately: "Don't rush, I seem to have caught an opportunity. If I get a kill, you guys bring the bomb over."

He definitely couldn't deal with the sniper rifle at the first moment, so—

【Can only say your big brother is still your big brother. Astralis in the final and Astralis in normal times are completely two different teams.】

"After the timeout, Astralis was worried that the opponents would be unconventional, so they obediently played the default, with a group of people meeting at the Terrorist Spawn."

The moment shox was killed, Xu Beifang intended to let go of his footsteps and rush out of the Terrorist Spawn smoke to A to fight.

But the next second, everyone's eyes turned to CT Spawn.

Wanjiqi had goosebumps all over. He said excitedly: "A movement-accelerated spin jump, Xu Beifang is like waltzing in the air, all the bullets were avoided by his movement!!"

Ma Xixi added on the side: "Chased back two rounds in a row, the score reached 11:15. Vitality can force the match into overtime if they are 4 match points away."

He didn't mean to blame his teammates either. He saw many clutches in his eyes. Except for the teammates' gunplay mistakes in the last few rounds, more of it was because Astralis's trading, clutching, etc., were handled better.

Then, he could output better!

"CT Spawn saw the gun barrel, Beifang pre-fired and killed dupreeh in one shot. Astralis immediately threw a smoke wanting to speed up, but apEX threw a flash under the platform, Xu Beifang peeked out and everyone in front was fully flashed!"

But they traded even kills from the front. It was just a 2v2 retake, and they could still operate.

But soon, he also started to retake, because Zywoo at the bomb site had already heard the footsteps coming from Mid.

Because from the situation in the previous few rounds, the gunplay of these Vitality people had already been somewhat deformed. Even if Zywoo and Xu Beifang were performing, they were always a move behind in the clutch.

Shouldn't he be at the B bomb site or CT Spawn?

After speaking, Wanjiqi breathed a few times with charm. The rhythm-filled confrontation made his emotions fluctuate, coupled with the excited audience on-site, he was already a bit high.

apEX, who had already grabbed the flashbang, threw it immediately.

Vitality arranged a default 3B2A position for the pistol round.

Zywoo saw shox didn't kill anyone at the first moment and knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he decisively let go of his footsteps and took the initiative to attack.

Ma Xixi added: "But the CT side didn't fall for it. Handoo and JackZ borrowed Xu Beifang's flashbang and directly pushed through the smoke to clear the close position... but what!!"

Xu Beifang took a deep breath, can only bet on it!

He could roughly guess where Jiuye was now. He estimated that he had already gotten the bomb but didn't dare to move around, fearing that he would peek out directly from the smoke.

Even as opponents, they were stunned by gla1ve's rotation and tactics in this pistol round.

"Da-da-da!"

But what they didn't expect was that after they returned to the B site and killed gla1ve, they found it was an A bomb!

Only then did Vitality understand that they had been played by the opponent from beginning to end for this point.

"This round, he didn't find the best position to coordinate with teammates, but the utilization of cover and timing in the second time was still maxed out!"

Walked with big steps toward Banana, and then threw a fire toward B Tunnel.

【Zywoo also got 24 kills. Handoo's condition today is too abstract; he only killed 11.】

Astralis confirmed that the other person in the B site was at the Zhu Zi, and directly started throwing CT Spawn smoke to speed up forward.

【Why play silently this time? If they exploded the bomb, they would have won.】

However, many netizens in the live stream were just joking. More people were discussing the content of the match.

But at this time, gla1ve at A1 killed shox in the small pit.

Because they suffered a loss in the second round and were turned around by the opponent's gamble, they chose to force up in the second round. But what they didn't expect was that Astralis chose the flying-to-the-second-floor that Handoo loved the most for this point, which really caught them off guard, and the front collapsed at the speed of light.

JackZ was already on his way to retake. shox hoped they could delay time from the front, so they could trap the opponents on Banana.

"Nice only has one shot of health left, but device still chose to believe in the AWP, opened the scope, and actively pushed forward. It might be better for Xu Beifang to leave directly... Xu Beifang!!!!!!"

The friends in the live stream were a bit pessimistic.

The thought of turning the game around rose in the bottom of his heart, just like something was scratching in his heart, making people unable to extricate themselves.

Then, he saw a head suddenly appear above the smoke grenade.

Left the clutch confrontation between apEX and xyp9x.

Vitality's second timeout had already been called, but many people off the stage felt it was unnecessary.

shox said 'um' and started back-flashing on the A2 balcony.

But Xu Beifang's position was chosen very well, it was just half-flashed.

"But Astralis doesn't seem to intend to push with explosives this time, but wants to play a silent contact!"

The subsequent economy round naturally couldn't be won either.

The info had been obtained. Xu Beifang and apEX had already communicated well. As long as Xu Beifang gave the info, Handoo would immediately throw a flash to let him go out and counter-spam.

Even with the defuse kit, they didn't have much time to operate during the retake. After consideration, they decisively chose to save their guns.

Ma Xixi took over: "gla1ve is still quite smart. He directly let the two brothers in the B site play utility management. In terms of utility management, no one in the world is better than them."

Yes, they had created many miracles.

Inside Vitality's match room.

The situation on the field had become 1v1. device's missed shot with the AWP reversed the situation.

A burst of gasps sounded in the arena. Zywoo's breakthrough this time indeed stunned the audience.

gla1ve shouted when he saw the kill ID: "Nice is at B, we rotate silently!!"

However, there was a small episode. Xu Beifang bought an unarmored taser and directly tasered dupreeh in A2. Although xyp9x's trade was fast later, not giving Xu Beifang a chance to save his gun, dupreeh's painful mask came out.

He understood that his previous actions were not in vain.

The confrontation was actually very intense, and the match entered the clutch again and again.

But in the end, there was only one kill info.

Although Vitality won a few rounds in a row, after Astralis saved enough economy again, Vitality didn't find it easy to score from the front.

After Xu Beifang got the kill, he immediately controlled the spray and fired at the B Tunnel angle.

Both sides engaged on Banana at the start. After a round of intense confrontation, the final result was 1-for-1.

But dupreeh seemed to have predicted it, killed apEX, and immediately retreated. JackZ couldn't even trade, which was quite exaggerated.

Ma Xixi shouted: "No mistakes, headshot directly!!"

shox's bold decision this time allowed them to get important info, so they could make preparations in advance.

"The opponents seem to be rotating. You guys at A have utility, throw it quickly!!" he shouted in the voice channel, and then immediately started to retake from CT Spawn.

Astralis was also hot-headed. They had given up Banana many times, and they didn't intend to give it up for this point.

Several teammates shouted in unison: "The opponents are going to pick up the bomb!!"

Xu Beifang also said: "It's not one person's problem. We have to find a way to solve the problem now."

Hearing Xu Beifang's feedback, apEX hurried to start counter-utility.

"JackZ peeked out directly, but dupreeh dodged with a backstep!"

They looked at each other tacitly and said awkwardly: "Should... not be!"

From his perspective, this was completely cutting off his own retreat.

Wanjiqi was stunned. What was the situation with these people today? Everyone's condition was maxed out?

This could also predict the crossfire?

Vitality's B site positioning had no big problems. The Barrel and Zhu Zi were one of the best crossfire positions. Terrorists in B Tunnel wanting to hit the Barrel would definitely expose themselves to the Zhu Zi.

And device's sniper rifle was holding his position.

They were very worried. After chasing so many points, if they were beaten back because of one bad operation, it would be a long-term pain.

Xu Beifang was listening to the info quietly, and suddenly saw a gun barrel sticking out from the left wall!

This positioning control still needs practice... This was the first thought that popped into Xu Beifang's mind.

This idea made Ma Xixi gasp, "If it's a silent contact, the trouble will be quite big, because if they trade quickly, Vitality's B site won't be able to stop them!"

Xu Beifang showed the photo to his teammates. In it, the five members of Vitality were hugging each other's shoulders, their faces full of bright smiles.

Three precise positionings directly killed gla1ve, who came back to pick up the bomb.

Soon came the first long gun round of the second half.

"Something's not right!" Xu Beifang switched to his knife and started walking back silently, "You guys at B pay attention, the opponents might be rushing B!"

"Bang!"

【xyp9x used AK-47 to headshot ZywOo】

A shout about Xu Beifang suddenly rang out in the arena, and then it instantly swept the whole venue. The entire arena was shouting the ID of the same person at this moment.

Astralis had already taken the match point first. Perhaps in this round after the timeout ended, Map 1 could end because of this.

"shox is trying hard to back-flash, but he was still affected. His gunplay had some mistakes at the first moment!!"

The audience on-site waved their cheering props excitedly. Vitality's two rounds finally let them see a glimmer of hope again.

dupreeh keenly saw his position, and he also saw Xu Beifang's action of covering his eyes with his hand, directly starting to chase forward.

"Xu Beifang is holding A1 with an AK at the Terrorist Spawn. Magisk peeks over from the Boiler Room. What about this shot?"

"Now, everything seems to have returned to that time. We are in adversity again, but please believe in yourselves. You are the most outstanding players in the world. Let's repeat what we did back then, okay?"

He at the two-box of the bomb site directly pulled an angle to the left and started to fire.

【What's the situation with device? Can this holding sniper miss?】

Look at this guy, at this moment, he is the protagonist of this arena!

"Nice!! Nice!!"

The score reached 13:15.

"Banana side grouped up and came over, a flash directly cleared the close position, but apEX happened to catch a fire, starting to delay the attack."

mo analyzed from his perspective: "Astralis is just like this. They can always find the way that suits them best to handle the game."

"Handoo, catch a flash under the platform for me. If the opponents speed up later, use the flash to send me out!"

"How about a side-path counter-rush?" apex turned to look at Xu Beifang, asking for Xu Beifang's thoughts.

After recovering his vision, he stopped steadily and sprayed a burst at dupreeh, who was strafing over.

But Astralis's playing style was more flexible. If they could take Banana, they would take it.

The barrage in the live stream was even more crazy.

"But the bomb is not easy to pick up. This C4 is on the platform above the electric scooter. xyp9x chose to burn the fire, wanting to pick up the bomb and leave, but Nice quickly switched to smoke to extinguish the fire. Both sides were stuck in place for a time."

"Then, with a quick transfer, he also brought gla1ve at A1 down to low health. gla1ve jiggled, trying to peek out and fight ZywOo again, but he couldn't win the duel!!"

【These Danes explode when they reach the final】

If they drove the opponents away because of counter-smoke at this time, shox alone might really not be able to stop Astralis.

The crosshair was placed well. He didn't even need to fine-tune, directly pulling the trigger.

Wanjiqi took the time to glance at the barrage and said with a smile: "Brothers, aren't you taking Astralis too lightly? Astralis isn't some rookie team; they have three Major trophies!"

As a lurker, he had an unshirkable responsibility in this regard.

A flashbang exploded, and Banana was suddenly covering their eyes!

Xu Beifang shrank back at the first moment, both to avoid damage and to make the opponent's attention look over.

【Top-tier technique of a rifleman, it's like a normal attack in Xu Beifang's hands】

"But dupreeh seems to want to continue trying. After the fire was extinguished, he slowly pushed forward along the wall to search for angles. Handoo on the box didn't change his position and was directly pre-fired and hit by him!"

A big back was exposed to him. Although shox didn't kill anyone at the first moment, the hook was done!

M4A1 sprayed directly!

"Da-da-da!"

【Mainly because Vitality got the info in advance. If you explode the bomb, they will also use counter-utility to delay.】

Xu Beifang was sprinting with an anxious heart on the stage, only seeing kills floating by in the top right corner. Zywoo was already killing wildly.

They absolutely didn't want to see that scene, so they actively called a tactical timeout to adjust their tactics and playing style, also to simply cool down the opponent's feel.

Later, they tried to save their weapons, but apEX had a clear mind. With plenty of time left, he immediately started hunting them down, not giving Team Astralis any room to maintain an organized force. In the end, at the cost of a 3-for-2 trade, they took down all the remaining weapons from Team Astralis.

Next might be his only chance in this clutch!

In his hand was an AK captured from Magisk. The skin was Elite Build, but it had four VP stickers on it.

"dupreeh saw the opponent was flashed and directly chased forward wanting to end the match, but you can't be in a hurry at this time!" the English stream commentator said in surprise, "Nice counter-killed dupreeh after recovering his vision. He only needs to play a 1v2 now!"

After losing 4 points in the second half, they were actually a bit disappointed, but they didn't lose heart. Instead, they encouraged and comforted each other, continuing to put their attention into the subsequent confrontation.

In the next round, Vitality chose a 3B2A start, directly focusing on taking Banana.

Vitality members were discussing intensely in the match room. Even though there was no room for error, they were still trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

After a short timeout, the match continued, and they looked at the screen again.

Vitality members bumped fists, but at this time Astralis also felt the pressure. After taking the match point, they hadn't been able to win it, which also gave them a headache.

A second later, sensing no movement at the close position of Banana, the two in the B site coordinated a counter-rush.

Even if they each fired one shot, Nice would die, but how did it become like this?

The cheers in the arena seemed to turn into substance, hitting their match room head-on, as if to cut off their throats. It seemed that even breathing dissipated in the air, and only a buzzing noise remained in their ears.

NaVi's playing style on Inferno was a bit special. They liked to rely on the Sandbag to make a fuss, playing counter-rushes at the close position of Banana. Even this degree of preference was comparable to apEX's flying-to-the-second-floor.

Although it was a heavy defense in the B site, the playing style was a bit biased toward gambling, not actively going to the forward position to engage in any confrontation, but letting the opponents in to fight.

【With this condition, I feel like this final is going to be lost.】

Everyone bumped fists to encourage each other and put their attention back into the next point.

Xu Beifang thought for a while and spoke: "Hey brothers, look here!"

He could only retreat to the Terrorist Spawn. What worried him most was that the thing might have appeared.

【Xixi, you are really Astralis No. 1!】

The opponent threw a Connector smoke a second later. Xu Beifang immediately counter-threw a Mid smoke, and then he immediately called Zywoo over, preparing to catch the flash and counter-rush Mid.

Zywoo had already retracted his scope and changed positions after shox moved, but suddenly thought of something and peeked at A2 again.

After taking map control, he would choose one side to explode the bomb based on the info collected and gla1ve's intuition.

The tactical arrangement was finished, and there was still some time left in the timeout.

Because this tactic was bold enough, and the risk was also high.

Tens of thousands of people were shouting an ID. Even in Dorm 302, watching the live stream on a computer, one could feel the shock. Xiao Ming felt his blood boiling through the screen.

"Steady!! Must be steady!!" NEO didn't care about teasing pasha's expression, because he was also extremely nervous at this time, "Continue to win this round according to the previous rhythm, don't make mistakes!"

If the situation goes wrong, the confrontation pressure will increase. If the confrontation pressure increases, it is easy to make mistakes.

"But is actively exposing the sound really a wise decision?"

"Now only Xu Beifang is left. He needs to face a 1v5 clutch. The opponents also know he is in the B site. This is completely impossible to play!!" Wanjiqi let out a painful wail.

But he keenly heard the footsteps of someone walking back in Mid.

Now the initiative returned to Nice's hands. As time passed, if device didn't take the initiative to fight, Nice would win in the end!

【Handoo is really a bit depressed today, always being traded. He hit a lot of half-health, but later lost the feel after losing points continuously.】

Zywoo saw shox holding on, and heard the footsteps coming from Connector in his ears, so he immediately counter-held, wanting to deal with the Terrorists rushing through the smoke in Connector first.

"But... Astralis doesn't seem to intend to give an opportunity. They all gathered, intending to group up and eat Beifang!"

And the group of people next to him, although not as exaggerated as them, were also moved by the confrontation on the stage.

"But there is still a 1v3 clutch that needs to be operated, but it seems there is a glimmer of opportunity."

"Nice is at the Terrorist Spawn! He knows the bomb is at home!!" gla1ve was stunned for a moment after being killed, and then quickly reported the position in the voice channel.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming and others in Dorm 302 couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts.

【It's a pity, I thought Vitality could break the record 2-0 today.】

A burst of gasps sounded in the arena. Xu Beifang's two kills were very smooth and looked very silky.

"Should we try double snipers?" JackZ gave an idea.

"shox is pulling back and forth in the small pit. Zywoo caught the opportunity and pulled out from the bomb site, directly headshotting device with a big back. shox traded 1-for-1 a second later, but Zywoo was still outputting. The Terrorist rushing through the Connector smoke was instantly killed by him!"

In the case of continuous point loss, mistakes became more and more frequent.

With the moment gla1ve was killed, the shout of "NICE!!" resounded through the voice channel.

Could it be that it would end with this result?

The moment apEX was killed, his right hand was raised directly.

Astralis had dragged the match into their own rhythm in the attacks of these few points. In the subsequent rounds, they played a wave of crazy scoring.

And in two more rounds, the match would really enter overtime.

He didn't finish all the bullets. After firing about 20, he switched to an incendiary grenade and threw it toward B Tunnel.

"He directly pulled wide and used the most straightforward way to headshot device!!"

On the other side of the stage, Astralis members had somewhat blank and stunned expressions.

Immediately after, he took out a photo from his pocket, "Remember what this is? This is our group photo when we won the championship at the StarSeries."

Saving the gun was meaningless at this moment. The only operation Xu Beifang had now was to actively find people to kill.

There weren't many tricks, but the fault tolerance rate was extremely high.

"But Astralis's economy operation before was done very well. They still need to win one more long gun round, and Astralis's economy will collapse. In that case, it will not be far from overtime!" MO's imagination in his words was very beautiful.

He killed one here, and shox in the small pit also relied on the advantage of the headshot position to counter-kill one.

Under the stage, pasha grabbed NEO's arm, his face full of anxiety: "Continue to score, must continue to score, don't make mistakes at this time!!"

Zywoo glanced at the time; there were 7 seconds left.

"But he wasn't killed and immediately jumped into the small pit, escaping a disaster!"

"Do you remember that round? Vitality only had one smoke and one flash left, and these two in the B site still had a full set of utility, forcefully dragging them to death with utility."

【This final is too exciting, win back two more points!!】

Astralis turned around to control the A site, but when they were controlling the A site, they encountered a problem. Vitality's twin stars were both in the A site, and the front firepower was unprecedentedly powerful.

"Hmm?!" xyp9x shouted, "Footsteps!"

The two at the A site moved immediately and started to rotate to the B site.

"Beifang's big flank was indeed critical, but Astralis's adjustment ability is very fast. They are not as stubborn as NaVi. After finding out they couldn't play against Beifang on Banana, they directly exited Banana and started to lead the rhythm from the A site."

Astralis's attack style was actually quite formulaic.

There was no utility left in his hand, so he could only rely on gunplay and handling to fight.

Xu Beifang took a deep breath and brought his face closer to the screen.

Astralis was forced into an economy round, and they didn't have any idea of forcing up, directly ECOing for one point to play the long gun.

They had to find their own problems, but the premise was to face the opponent's performance squarely.

The early stage was still biased toward a steady default start, and both sides exchanged some utility at the start.

Isn't it 5v1? If this point is steady, can Vitality have long-term pain?

But what exactly is going on?

Only by making Astralis's attack less comfortable would they have a chance to start scoring again.

apex frowned: "Too reluctant. Two unarmored snipers coming out, once there is a slight mistake, everything will collapse."

Xu Beifang glanced at the sticker on the gun skin, took a deep breath, and started to capture the opportunity.

JackZ shouted: "Come on, come on!!"

But the benefits it brought were also huge, because Zywoo and shox didn't even have a chance to retake.

The three people on the commentary stage stood up instantly.

But Vitality always felt like they were missing a breath. Every time, they lost the clutch very regrettably.

"Bang!"

【Zywoo used M4A1 to headshot device】

【Nice used AK-47 to headshot Magisk】

But Handoo was not a player good at clutching, and he lost very regrettably in this clutch.

Ma Xixi added: "Vitality's strategy for this round is to throw utility, then retreat to the back position. apEX holds the angle at the Barrel. Once he starts fighting, the teammate at the Zhu Zi peeks out to trade, striving to trade more people."

They looked at the screen that had reached 14:15 and cheered excitedly.

"We played too messily and too anxiously," Xu Beifang pointed out the core problem in one sentence, "We lost too many clutches that shouldn't have been lost. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such great pressure now."

The conversation fell into a stalemate again.

The cheers in the arena were already very crazy. The audience on-site was intentionally suppressing, but they were still in an extremely restless state.

Glanced at the side path, didn't find anyone.

Finally, the first half ended, and the score was fixed at 9:6.

After a short halftime break, the two sides swapped camps in the second half, and the pistol round started.

After apEX was ecstatic, he stood up directly. His face was full of pride. He stretched his hands toward Xu Beifang and made a display gesture. The meaning was self-evident.

But now on this map, they were actually taken the match point by Astralis first, and it was only one point away from ending.

He also keenly sensed that the opponent didn't have the idea of speeding up to the B site, so he actively continued to push forward.

Only by dealing with Jiuye first!

Xu Beifang wanted to handle it, directly starting to run for two steps.

【Once in the second half, Vitality's group felt like their keyboards were smoking】

But none of them gave up. More of them were thinking about how to try their best to handle the subsequent and play every round well.

"The opponents are going to hit B!!" shox shouted in the voice channel, "This part of Mid is completely empty. You guys at B have utility, counter-utility immediately!"

"Do the opponents have a sniper for this point?" Xu Beifang asked quickly in the voice channel. He needed to know this info. By comparison, he was the more passive one now.

Then, he only needed to deal with Connector first.

If Zywoo bought a sniper rifle, there would be no utility in his hand.

"Yes!" JackZ said quickly, "Guns fired at the Terrorist Spawn at the start!"

And the 1v5 clutch seemed to have a glimmer of possibility to operate again.

Xu Beifang was flashed and immediately pulled back a body position.

The official photographer on the field wouldn't let this scene go. Nearby were the blank faces of Astralis members, in the center of the picture was Nice shouting, and in the distance were the crowds cheering for Nice. He pressed the shutter and saved Nice's demeanor on the field.

Xu Beifang just asked calmly, but Vitality's players' expressions had already become serious.

The gunshots of the AK-47 and the AWP sounded at the same time.

During the process, xtqzzz actively called a timeout, but it still didn't play much of a role.

"Sprinting from the smoke grenade, directly jumping onto the Barrel at the Terrorist Spawn, the speed is up! This movement!!!"

When the last kill was taken, Xu Beifang threw off his noise-canceling headphones and stood up. He clenched his fists against the sound waves caused by the audience's cheers, because the adrenaline surge even caused his whole hand to tremble constantly.

Astralis put too little info in Mid for this point, at least they hadn't entered Mid at the current stage.

【Nice used AK-47 to headshot dupreeh】

Xu Beifang back-flashed and strafed out from the CT Spawn smoke. Seeing the empty B Tunnel, he realized something was wrong.

Then the B site might be in danger.

But the preparation action was ready, yet he didn't find any subsequent utility in Mid.

Astralis could only rely on extremely fast trading efficiency and just-right utility to make up for this.

He felt very wronged. At that time, he just made a very normal judgment. How did it become like this?

"1v2 clutch, Nice seems to have a chance to operate!!" the English stream commentator also became excited on the stage.

Now everyone's fighting spirit had been pulled back. Next, it depended on the confrontation in the match.

It was created after apEX and JackZ were killed.

"shox is pulling back and forth in the small pit. Zywoo caught the opportunity and pulled out from the bomb site, directly headshotting device with a big back. shox traded 1-for-1 a second later, but Zywoo was still outputting. The Terrorist rushing through the Connector smoke was instantly killed by him!"

"Wide pull out and spray transfer! One, two, three!!"

"Da-da-da!"

Finally, after a round of confrontation, A site traded 3 for 3.

But the next second, he pulled out with the nature of pre-firing.

The Terrorists did indeed launch an explosive attack on B for this point. With the structure complete, the B site only achieved a 3-for-3 result.

The audience who saw this scene were very happy.

From the mini-map, Vitality was currently in a 2A2B position.

If Astralis was allowed to explode the bomb and unfold an attack, it would really be hard to withstand the pressure.

If you say he wasn't looking forward to Xu Beifang's clutch, that was impossible. After all, he had already started operating.

"Astralis still has quite a lot of utility in their hands. The initiative doesn't seem to be in his hands. How to play this 1v3?"

He didn't understand why Xu Beifang would appear here at this time.

Xu Beifang still wanted to let the opponents in—and then eat them all!

"shox got the info on the side path, knowing the opponents are going to hit B," Wanjiqi said, "But their retake is still on the way. Now it depends on Beifang and his mouth."

"Jiuye sneaked into A2 and caught Zywoo! 3v5 became 2v5!!"

"Beifang needs time to return to the A site. This round still depends on the crossfire between the balcony and the bomb site. Magisk has already cleared Connector. What about shox on the balcony?"

But Xu Beifang, who had returned to retake in advance, was already in place. He saw dupreeh pushing forward the moment the CT Spawn smoke exploded and sprayed a burst.

Now, let this damn miracle happen again!

There was still some timeout time left, but no one spoke. Everyone was adjusting their state, letting themselves be calm enough to handle this 'last stand' of Map 1!

Xu Beifang also suddenly remembered this matter. His phone case cracked today and was thrown away by him. The few photos behind it were put into his pocket, but he didn't expect that it could be taken out and play a role at this time.

After a few rounds of confrontation, finding that they couldn't gain an advantage on Banana, they simply gave up map control of Banana.

The audience in the arena also made sounds rustlingly, but seemed worried about affecting the players, and soon calmed down again, watching the content on the screen with expectation and anxiety.

During the timeout, Ma Xixi glanced at the barrage screen and said helplessly: "It's really not me poisoning the milk. Who could have thought that Vitality wouldn't get a single point in the second half!"

【Single-point, positioning, spray transfer, this wave is too showy!】

That is to say, it was uncertain whether the opponent had changed guns.

The cheers in the arena exploded like a volcanic eruption!

Everyone didn't expect that Xu Beifang would break the deadlock in this way, and this kind of whimsical handling method was actually succeeded by him!

【Nice used AK-47 to headshot xyp9x】

At that time, in the 3v5 clutch, Xu Beifang wanted to actively go out and find an opportunity to trade the kill back.

"Flash!!" Xu Beifang shouted urgently.

gla1ve followed the main force to group up and hit B, but the final goal was in the A site.

【I only serve Ma Xixi for CSGO poison milk】

The sudden change made Ma Xixi's voice crack directly. Not only him, but the scene also sounded surprised gasps.

Astralis chose the most rational way, using numbers to pave this clutch.

It was just that the thing that made them uncomfortable finally happened.

Xu Beifang shook his head: "Tried it before, but Astralis's default is very far back, and the time we played before, that brother on the Terrorist bridge was even intentionally back-flashing out. The details were maxed out."

Now he must play around this bomb. Otherwise, if he let the opponent take the initiative, he would have no room to operate.

shox pursed his lips: "My problem, I indeed didn't handle many clutches well."

Fortunately, this idea of his didn't just come after Zywoo and shox were killed.

Now even their own strong map couldn't be won, then what about Astralis's map pick?

Even some people were thinking that today might be 2-0, but it would be Astralis 2-0 defeating Vitality.

Ma Xixi nodded: "If they can successfully win the pistol round, the advantage will be further expanded."

The teammates all fell, and now the score was 13:15. Losing this round, Astralis would take this map, break their unbeaten golden body in this Major, and cut off their winning streak on Inferno.

This was really too hard to accept!

Obviously apEX and JackZ didn't have any problems with their operations, but they were directly sprayed to death.

JackZ also wanted to retake, but was kept by apEX, because he was worried that Astralis intended to play the trick of exploding the bomb in the last 20 seconds. JackZ still had a smoke grenade in his hand, which could be used to delay time.

"Both sides are in a long gun round. Now every point is a crucial round. Vitality decided to meet changes with constancy. The start is still the usual 3B to control Banana. The two brothers in the A site are directly setting up a set meal in A2, ready to prevent flying to the second floor."

It was just that they didn't expect that under this high pressure, Zywoo also made a mistake.

Then they were hit by a 1-for-3 feat by Xu Beifang and JackZ. This confrontation directly silenced Astralis.

"—Bang!"

apEX clenched his hands and placed them on his chin, his eyes full of nervousness.

"Xu Beifang finally intends to make a move. He still doesn't want to let the opponent get the bomb and plant it. He actively wants to come and take this 1v2." Wanjiqi shouted.

5v1 clutch, they were all killed by one person on the opposite side?

Wanjiqi stood up directly: "This positioning! This transfer! Nice!! It still has to be him. You can't play silent contact with the world's No. 1 entry fragger, because he will be more aggressive than you imagine!!"

So he made a quite bold operation.

"Magisk threw a middle-segment smoke, seemingly wanting to make the opponents think he had entered Banana." Wanjiqi interpreted Magisk's actions.

The audience with the god's-eye view clearly saw that Astralis was directly persuaded to retreat by an ID, as steady as if Vitality had taken the match point.

"xyp9x only hit one shot in a spray, and device's holding sniper rifle missed again!!"

Under this tense situation, he actively pushed forward from A2 a second later and finished getting the info on the side path!

"Boom—"

【Alas, is the unbeaten golden body going to be broken?】

Xu Beifang happened to be holding a headshot angle at the first moment to hold this position. He knew that most of Astralis members were at the A site, and coming from this direction was the fastest!

Wanjiqi shook his head: "Regardless of anything, Vitality leading by 3 points after finishing this first half, their pressure won't be that great after changing to defense."

However, they weren't too excited. Even apEX controlled his emotions.

In their view, Inferno was Vitality's greatest foundation.

"Prepare to receive people! They will send flashes in the first wave!" Zywoo shouted urgently in the voice channel, "We play crossfire and pull, don't be stubborn!"

Handoo directly rejected this proposal. Their average economy for this point was around 5000. It was reluctant to take out one unarmored sniper rifle, and taking out two was too exaggerated.

The other few people in Vitality were no better, all stunned in the room.

But just at this time, shox made a very bold decision.

"Mid footsteps sound, now I know the opponents are going to hit A. The utility has unfolded. There are only 18 seconds left. As long as they can hold on at the A site this time, they can win back a match point!" Wanjiqi's speech rate started to speed up.

In the lens, Vitality members in the match room were bumping fists and high-fiving with smiles. They could accept this result. Leading by 3 rounds as the offensive side in the first half was already a very good result.

But most of the audience still turned their heads to look at the screen, and there seemed to be some expectation in their eyes.

Now the pressure was great. Even if Xu Beifang controlled his tone, he felt a bit sulky.

"This is Nice!!"

If they attacked with default map control, they would take both Banana and Mid map control.

If the bomb site pulled out to fight him, the opponent wouldn't have time to plant the bomb.

But they also clearly knew in their hearts that Nice didn't need to mock.

Because the record of this round was already the greatest mockery!
