Chapter 394: Astralis: The hanging heart finally died!

"19:16!! Vitality successfully won the confrontation on Inferno. Their winning streak was not interrupted. After winning this match, on the map of Inferno, they have reached an unprecedented 19-game winning streak!!" Ma Xixi watched the score fixed on the screen and shouted excitedly on the commentary stage.

Wanjiqi immediately took over: "The quality of today's final is unimaginable. Both teams really showed us the world's top level, and they also used facts to explain the philosophy of CSGO—until the very last moment, you never know what the result will be!"

They excitedly sent congratulations to Vitality, and the secondary screen used to watch the barrage was already quite exaggerated!

【Xu Beifang is a god of war!!!】

【Truly worthy of being pasha's disciple and NEO's successor!】

【device is really slacking off today, missed so many shots】

【He didn't actually miss many shots overall, just missed a few key ones】

The director replayed the brilliant kills again.

JackZ asked uncomprehendingly: "Then weren't you afraid that xyp9x would trade you? You didn't have much health at that time either."

"Hello Nice, I'm JackZ!"

Astralis was quite average from the data, generally hovering around 25 kills.

The position was determined, and a group of people were still standing in the middle of the road. They definitely had to find cover at the first moment; otherwise, a flashbang would come and everyone would be wiped out.

Now it seemed the effect was good.

【Parameters turned up】

It was mainly because this commander gla1ve was too foul. I really don't know how this guy's brain grew.

The first half ended, and the final score was fixed at 11:4.

Ma Xixi sped up his speech: "But Astralis doesn't want to play slowly with you. They all entered the Terrorist Hall. This A site seems to be planning to use force directly!!"

1:0

Vitality easily won this pistol round.

In the training room, the members looked at themselves with anticipation: "Nice, what are your thoughts?"

As Xu Beifang defused the bomb and the round was successfully won, the noise on the scene rose instantly.

apEX could always exert their gunplay advantage through some strange methods, which was great!

shox thought for a while and suggested: "Then I'll go directly to the B bomb site, and I can coordinate with you guys then."

But he had just gotten a kill here when he heard shox shouting in the voice channel: "Two pushing forward in the Terrorist Hall, one is very low!"

Ma Xixi was stunned when he heard this.

So after considering it, he also had the idea of counter-measures.

Suddenly, a figure darted from the Terrorist Hall into the Yellow Room.

Xu Beifang was walking toward the main entrance for this point. He was still prepared to coordinate with Zywoo to apply pressure to the outside.

"You are really exaggerated. That action at that time scared me to death. How did you think of using movement to dodge bullets? You really think the opponent's bullets will turn?" apEX teased.

But sometimes, poison milk is also necessary.

Astralis chose to force up and fight hard. This move was very bold because this was a tactical map, and the gain of forcing up was actually very small.

This burst sprayed two people on the opposite side to death. He didn't know how to express his emotions now.

Xu Beifang glanced over. Team Astralis had planted the bomb at Sanlou. He threw a fire into Yellow Room, and instead of playing the fancy silent-drop move, he jumped straight down and started defusing.

The next economy round didn't have any problems. apEX even used a Forklift King to brush three, winning back some of the economy lost before.

"Is a 4:0 start very good? Maybe a rhythm will turn the opponents around, understand? Brothers, let us question first!!"

"Vitality chose to bomb the door, gave a main entrance smoke, and directly hit A!"

This gave Xu Beifang room to operate. He mixed next to the smoke grenade, holding the oil tank with his crosshair, and waited quietly for time.

Vitality wasn't playing against him for the first time, but gla1ve's many decisions were like being made from a god's-eye view, which was very foul.

They were also shattered by ENCE's gunplay at that time.

Otherwise, they could only take it one step at a time.

MO was originally wondering why Ma Xixi's style suddenly changed. He turned to see Ma Xixi's expression and understood instantly: "Makes sense, don't be too optimistic about Vitality."

"For them, the only good news is that Nuke is their strong map. They have more means on this map, and the winning chance is greater."

Speaking of this, Xu Beifang smiled proudly: "The result also proved that I bet right!"

"Exploding the door as usual here, but Zywoo's AWP directly pinned one. He got the first kill at the start, so the CT's pressure wasn't that great!"

Knowing it was one thing, but being able to use it was another.

And the worst-performing xyp9x only got 21 kills.

【Looking at this perspective, everything makes sense】

Astralis's strategy for this point was to creep outside. xyp9x looked at K1 very carefully from the oil tank.

Since that timeout, Astralis's overall attack had been relatively steady and didn't give them many opportunities to operate.

VP members had already stood up in the stands. At the moment the picture was fixed, the two were also extremely excited and shouted along with the audience.

Zywoo laughed: "This move is really easy to use. Last time Faze was also stunned by us using this move."

Ma Xixi also added: "You have to say that 1.6 wallbanging indeed has high damage, but CSGO wallbanging damage is very low. He sprayed two to death with this burst. Do you have to be so exaggerated?"

pasha remembered correctly that the tournament group gave an analysis of the clutch win rates of both sides at that time.

Byali bumped into NEO's shoulder, his face full of smiles: "It's also really coincidental. This wave is paying tribute to you, right."

"No one could have thought that in Astralis's own strong map, they only got 4 rounds in the attack."

He seemed to be hinting that the CSGO in Xu Beifang's vision looked like this.

MO took over: "The feel has been hit. Now the hands are hot, understand? Astralis is also very stubborn. Originally, they didn't have a P250. They were greedy for utility and didn't give smoke for this point, and still bit the bullet to duel with the USP at a long distance. This gave an opportunity."

"Alright, Map 2 has started. Let's get back to the topic!" Wanjiqi interrupted the chat of his partners, "Map 2 is Nuke. Vitality is starting as the defensive side. Let's look at the utility configuration of both sides."

But the score gap between the two sides was too large. In this round of 13:15, Astralis found an opportunity again and broke Vitality one by one.

【The courage is really big!】

Vitality chose to explode the bomb to hit A a second later. Magisk almost spun around and got a triple kill, helping Astralis win back a point.

"Until the moment the match doesn't end, anything can happen."

Xu Beifang sighed, then continued to take out a smoke grenade, extinguished his fire, and jumped into the pipe smoothly.

Wanjiqi said: "This tactic is prepared to let Beifang play the first gun position. If Beifang dies, Zywoo will immediately take over this AK, waiting to inherit his AK."

Although Nuke is a tactical map, if the opponent's gunplay is too outrageous, they will find it difficult to even unfold tactics.

device pursed his lips: "I guess he wanted to push forward to fight at the start, just a coincidence."

From his perspective, Nice was like a core NPC in some game. Once this guy died, Vitality's group started to explode.

The match on the field was still continuing.

apEX thought for a while: "Then I'll get you a pair of dualies, and you can play by yourself then."

"The first long gun round is here. The CT side is a standard default 131 position, wanting to play a bit more steadily." Wanjiqi glanced at the mini-map.

Only in the final round of the first half, they caught shox off guard with a simple and crude iron plate speed-up and got a point.

"hunter, go kill Nice!"

But they didn't expect Xu Beifang didn't want to flash. The moment he shrank back, he peeked out again.

Astralis did throw a set of first-line smokes, but Astralis threw the inclined first-line smoke.

"Although he ate a Hero AK from the team, he outputted tons of damage. He killed everyone on the opposite side by himself!"

The yellow-haired goblin smiled at him: "It's okay, brother. In the future, you will do live streaming, and I will play professionally. We will both bloom!"

But after entering the second half and swapping sides, the situation turned sharply. Vitality seemed to suddenly not know how to play after coming to the defensive side. Subsequently, they were scored by Astralis and forced to the edge of the cliff.

But he only saw Xu Beifang freeze for a moment.

But the bullets seemed to come from the void, directly wallbanging him and gla1ve, who was low on health behind him, to death!

The director's lens cut over, and the audience on-site realized it was caused by Xu Beifang's spray.

"shox heard the footsteps coming from the main entrance and sprayed a burst through the device behind the main entrance smoke!!" Ma Xixi's voice gradually grew louder, "Brothers, it's 5v1!!"

A pop-flash came flying in. Xu Beifang was fully blinded and quickly hid inside the smoke grenade to take cover.

The commentators also noticed this long gun.

Ma Xixi shook his head and said: "This speed-up is really messing around. The front utility was given a lot, and it didn't look like there was any problem, but Xu Beifang sprayed them to death at the main entrance, and apEX pulled out to enjoy it!"

From a tactical point of view, putting the outside and main entrance at risk is very high. If the opponents hit the pipe in one wave, they won't be able to handle it.

Thanks to Xu Beifang just peeking, his first thought wasn't to go out to fight, so he returned very easily.

The moment Xu Beifang was killed, Zywoo used the AWP to counter-hold the Terrorist Spawn at the main entrance. device looked at the main entrance again and was directly traded.

"Boom—"

When the two of them sneaked into the B site and wanted to plant the bomb, a super surprise directly stunned them.

But no one could have predicted that Xu Beifang could play such an exaggerated 1v5 on the stage of such a final.

But at the same time, they were also a bit worried, because Vitality was too unreasonable, especially Nice's performance in Map 1, which was too foul.

apEX was also a bit nervous, but he still followed the usual arrangement and opened his mouth to issue instructions: "Their economy isn't very good for this point, so we can completely lure their utility out and then directly hit a wave of speed-up!"

He didn't back-flash immediately, but aimed at the position where the iron door was wallbanged at the main entrance, and then sprayed a burst to control the gun.

"Zywoo is firing wildly at the main entrance. This round can actually be saved. Seriously, there is an AWP and a long gun in the next point, and there is still a chance to operate."

【Xu Beifang's gun control has a saying. I remember last time he played Astralis, he came to a spray transfer with white eyes.】

"apEX was traded by two headshots, but Nice and Zywoo are outputting wildly! The two are frantically hitting headshots! These four people outside were directly wiped out by them!!"

The atmosphere in the Mercedes-Benz Arena was hot, and the noise in the arena was even more amazing, but at this moment, those enthusiasms, those cheers, and those emotions were all attacks on them!

Originally thought that winning the pistol round in the second half would allow them to take advantage of this opportunity to narrow the gap.

He didn't immediately think about picking up the gun, but intended to help Xu Beifang explore info and let Xu Beifang operate.

After getting the first kill, the opponent's defense line had been opened, and the whole Vitality team moved.

"15 seconds, this round ended at the speed of light. Vitality even played an ACE, directly earning a lot!"

"Vitality directly made a set meal in the CT third floor. Three people are holding guns in different positions. This wave of Astralis peeking doesn't intend to give smoke, preparing to dry-pull over directly, but can they really pass?"

Once this was said, the tense atmosphere in the room indeed dissipated a bit.

Xu Beifang communicated with his teammates and let his teammates give some counter-rush utility.

The main force outside fell, leaving only a hook alive.

"Xu Beifang made a name for himself at the iron plate, but Astralis's reaction was really fast, directly pushing out from the A bomb site, not only winning back the numbers but also intercepting the bomb!"

Jack even threw the AK directly in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Magisk complained, "Just because Nice was killed at the start, how did Vitality start pushing out like crazy?"

"5v1!!"

【Open on the Major final!】

【Nice used AK-47 to headshot dupreeh】

【Where did the AK come from without planting the bomb!】

These somewhat trivial contents made the players' moods gradually calm down and started to put more into the match.

At the start, Xu Beifang coordinated with Zywoo. The two pulled and fought two people outside and successfully persuaded the opponents to retreat outside.

When winning this point, Magisk stood up and roared excitedly on the player seat, venting the emotions in his heart.

Astralis's player seat was silent.

"I hope you are more for yourself."

Xu Beifang hid in the Yellow Room. He held an AK and held the path to the Yellow Room quietly. At this moment, his hands were even trembling slightly.

This statement indeed made sense, and they had personally experienced this kind of matchup in Map 1.

Everyone started to adjust their mentality and started discussing the ideas of the second half attack.

Xu Beifang felt that his various ways of playing were aggressive enough, but didn't expect there were masters.

Just one round away!

XTQZZZ walked up and rubbed Xu Beifang's shoulder, signaling him to be at ease with his eyes.

Astralis finally got the first point. Next, they found some rhythm. Although there was no exaggerated continuous scoring, they started to score at least.

Although this winning streak was shattered by Little Li, the foundation was still there.

"Now gla1ve in the inner site is dead, all the info inside is lost. Is Astralis going back to re-take the Terrorist Hall info?"

Fine-tune the crosshair and pull the trigger.

"shox pushed forward at the first moment, but device heard the footsteps and counter-held him to death!"

"Think about it, after five rounds, we can stand on the stage and welcome our Major trophy..."

In the game of wits in these few rounds, he also figured it out.

"The remaining one is x9, he is guarding the iron plate!"

Ma Xixi shook his head, "Now many audiences might want to see if they can win back the confrontation in the second half on this map. Let's look at the duel of the pistol round."

7 seconds passed. He wasn't in a hurry, but held the position for two seconds, confirming the opponent wouldn't push forward, before starting to push forward.

He wanted to release info to the opponent—the CT outside was just applying some pressure and didn't really want to counter-rush or forcefully take the outside.

Xu Beifang drank some water and then stretched out his palm: "Brothers, come on, come on. Only 5 rounds left to crush Astralis!"

"Don't say it, Beifang!" JackZ shouted, "You make me start dreaming now!"

After the economy round, the match entered the long gun round again.

"Bang!"

【Quack!!】

On Vitality's side, only 1%!

Ma Xixi was recalling the development of Map 1 with the audience: "Astralis only took this round in the overtime first round. They probably were stunned. If they had taken this point earlier, there wouldn't be so many... 152 damage per round!!"

Tactics and gunplay were just means to help win the game. apEX knew that his tactics were not as good as gla1ve's, so he adopted the simplest tactical game of wits on the defensive side.

After the kill highlight replay, the director cut a few shots of Astralis.

If they could trade even one, he felt Xu Beifang and Zywoo would have quite a lot of room to operate.

The bullets of the AK-47 shot out from the muzzle, hitting the opponent's head. Amidst the splashing blood, Xu Beifang seemed to see the light and shadow of the past.

Xu Beifang went through Handoo's ideas in his mind and found that there was indeed no problem.

For Astralis fans, watching their half-armor Desert Eagle was not even as solid as half-armor CZ with utility.

Wanjiqi watched Vitality's movements on the screen and stood up directly: "And Vitality is preparing to hit A for this point!"

"Beifang's slaughter is still continuing. Because of this Hero AK, the situation has been completely reversed. This guy and Astralis's players are not on the same level!"

But unfortunately, he caught a front, and without armor, he couldn't beat JackZ at all.

Magic Boy used his magic Desert Eagle to play magic bullets.

"Because of the previous stealing of the bomb, the defensive side barely saved enough long guns, but Astralis's economy isn't very good either. If they can't attack this point, it will be very difficult to score again in the first half," Wanjiqi analyzed.

【??】

But he had just thrown a smoke grenade for the red box when he heard apEX shouting in the voice channel: "Beifang, help, there are many footsteps in the Terrorist Hall, speed up!!"

"You will have experience next time you win the championship," the coolly dressed host said to him with a smile.

NEO shook his head, watching Xu Beifang with a bright smile on the stage, his eyes full of pride: "Beifang's clutch is still more outstanding. His opponents are stronger, and he is the 13 side in the match. When we were the 15 side, the pressure was different."

Inside Vitality's voice channel.

Because it was Astralis's map pick, Vitality chose the defensive side directly, and apEX also started to arrange the pistol round positioning.

"Now they are not very... ah! ah!!" Ma Xixi was commenting and suddenly was stunned.

"Start cyber northern expedition!"

"At least play 10,000 BOTs every day, otherwise what are you talking about playing professionally?" This was a strange suggestion from netizens.

Xu Beifang sighed.

But didn't expect that they didn't eat the dividends, and were directly turned around by Xu Beifang's Hero AK.

At this time, Astralis might feel that the outside was safe, so Xu Beifang had a chance to catch the timing to fight.

dupreeh and Magisk behind the red box felt something bad when they saw Xu Beifang's action.

Confronting Vitality on this map always made him think of the game against ENCE.

dupreeh had already pre-aimed, crouched down at the first moment, and sprayed.

Astralis's avoidance style was simply outrageous. As long as they captured where he was, they immediately started to rotate.

Handoo added: "Come on, come on, let's score a few more points in the first half, let's have more fault tolerance in the second half!"

Everyone encouraged each other and went to their respective defensive areas.

Held for a long time, he suddenly saw someone rushing out of K1, immediately shouted loudly to remind his teammates in the voice channel, and fired short bursts.

Xu Beifang squeezed his eyes: "Try it."

Those faces had already appeared before his eyes.

【Made me laugh, haha】

"This wave is really awesome. apEX's mockery is indeed not wrong. This wave of Astralis is purely learning G2's corporate culture. This bomb is really not guarded!"

"Da-da-da!"

3:0

The match entered the first long gun round.

Only to see him come to the iron plate entrance, there was a very obvious aiming action, and then he sprayed a burst through the direction of the Terrorist Hall.

At the moment Map 1 ended, Vitality members couldn't hold back anymore. A group of people took off their headphones and high-fived to celebrate.

"If you want to mix in the smoke, you should watch more of the Danes' DEMOs. They are very good at mixing in the smoke."

Everyone in the passage nodded. They agreed with this statement very much, because if the bomb was on the electric scooter, the opponent would run away directly after picking it up.

Xu Beifang subconsciously wanted to nod and walk toward CT Spawn together, but suddenly saw the configuration in his hand, and an idea popped into his mind.

Others looked over very surprised, not knowing why.

Xu Beifang's stable condition is really disgusting!

Astralis's economy exploded directly. From this round, their subsequent attacks were also quite difficult to play.

In the 18th round, Vitality chose a default start. In the process of default, they successfully killed three members of Astralis, and finally chose to group up and hit the iron plate in the last 40 seconds.

【Nice used AK-47 to headshot device】

You think the wall is very thick, but in fact, it is like a piece of paper.

Zywoo raised an eyebrow: "The operation from playing Faze before?"

Xu Beifang nodded: "Then Shushu help me throw a fire. If the opponents throw a first-line smoke this round, I will mix in the smoke to play."

Originally hearing Ma Xixi say that, the audience felt something was wrong. MO took over the conversation, and they understood instantly.

dupreeh—had been laughed at.

The iron plate was defended by two people. shox coordinated with apEX and directly ate xyp9x.

In fact, comparing the opposite side is even more obvious.

But just as he was about to spray Zywoo to death, the thing he worried about most happened.

On device's side, it was much more straightforward.

JackZ, who peeked out from the Yellow Room, directly killed him instantly.

Yes, from the time they knew Xu Beifang, this kid was not a regular guy.

But the noise resounded through the entire arena at the moment the picture was fixed, coupled with the eruption of the air column machines around the stage and the music of the match ending, the atmosphere on the scene was hot.

shox had played 1.6 for a while and also knew this technique.

"Force up, try to find an opportunity," gla1ve could only issue instructions step by step.

"I don't know if Astralis will make any adjustments," Ma Xixi analyzed, "They were reversed by a large score in Map 1, and now all the pressure is on them."

The direction of this confrontation can be called a turn of events.

Their Desert Eagles could always kill two or three people in a round, but they couldn't complete the final turnaround.

NEO nodded: "Can't you play more easily? This doesn't give these old people any way to live at all. The heart is about to jump out."

T: gla1ve, Magisk, dupreeh, device, xyp9x

CT: apEX, Nice, JackZ, ZywOo, shox

The pistol round officially started.

"In a few seconds, only gla1ve is left next to the pipe. Beifang has already changed his magazine, peeked out from the main entrance, and headshot him directly!!"

apEX thought for a long time and finally made a decision: "Jack, you throw an AK out, and Beifang will equip full armor and utility. Others will also equip short guns and utility. Let's try Hero AK."

The lens swept past and gave it to NIKO.

"We raided Nice this week!"

Astralis's reaction was fast. Although they were stunned by this AK that suddenly appeared from Xu Beifang at the first moment.

"shox has pushed forward from the iron plate. Vitality wants to give the opponent a pincer attack."

Only Magisk was left in the Terrorist Hall. Magisk was very cautious in holding the gun, but didn't expect Vitality to push forward in a 4v3 round.

Map: Nuke

【Let's remember this AK, okay?】

But the Astralis four-man group achieved a score of 0 in this Whack-a-Mole game.

Jack forced a kill and immediately went to fight the final device, but device's headshot came faster.

The audience watched Xu Beifang's crosshair follow the two in the Terrorist Hall all the way, directly wallbanging them all to death.

He was like a gopher, constantly coming out and going down quickly.

That AK was pulled out.

Jack smiled. He was very happy to get a four-kill in the pistol round, but it was a pity he couldn't help the team win this point.

But they knew Xu Beifang was at the iron plate, which proved that the pressure in the Terrorist Hall was not great now.

Ma Xixi took over: "No, the bomb is outside. They still want to make a fuss around the outside."

Vitality's feel was hot. Astralis chose half-armor Desert Eagle in the next round to try.

So as soon as apEX gave the instruction, he already had an idea.

【If I have such a big daddy when playing ladder, I will also frantically send guns. Beifang can really kill!】

"Genius teenagers, I have seen many, but this is the first time I have seen a lizard afraid of fighting."

Steady, not at all like apEX's style.

But he had a lot of experience in how to kill the iron plate defensive CT!

Pre-aiming the jiggle-peek scouting spot, pre-aiming the spot behind Red Box, then pre-aiming the headshot spot at the Iron Plate railing—

"Magisk pulled out from behind the cover to trade, but Xu Beifang shrank back again. This time the flashbang finally came, and Magisk was also killed by Xu Beifang. A four-kill outside!!"

"Vitality's preparation outside has gained benefits, but Astralis is very unconvinced and wants to come over to trade!"

"I heard about you from apEX."

The director gave dupreeh's perspective at this moment. He had just gotten a kill and saw the bomb preparing to walk toward the Terrorist Spawn, going to play a cross-guard bomb with his teammates.

XTQZZZ walked behind Xu Beifang and excitedly pinched his shoulders: "Child, I said it, you are one of the most outstanding players I have ever seen!!"

"This can also work?" JackZ said in surprise.

It turned out that unknowingly, they had already walked here!

And it was only 5 rounds away from defeating Astralis and stepping on this strongest dynasty in history to become king!

And it was 2-0!

Thinking of this, their hearts were a bit restless, and even a bit nervous.

In the video, the man said cautiously: "I suggest you practice more in deathmatch, so you can better practice spray transfer..."

After finishing the fight, hurry up to share the emotions.

Wanjiqi was amused: "This wave outside is almost Xu Beifang playing 1v4 alone. He relied on a slope cover to forcefully play Astralis to death!"

"He walked back to the Terrorist Hall with big steps to pick up the bomb. Can the last Magisk in the iron door trade him?"

"The first position device was directly wallbanged, and dupreeh and Magisk were also wallbanged to one drop of blood!!" Ma Xixi laughed, "This wave of Astralis was completely suppressed by gunplay!"

At this moment, there was 1 minute and 39 seconds left on the top of his head.

pasha laughed heartily: "Hasn't this guy always been like this?"

"The confrontation in the A site is quite intense!!" Wanjiqi saw the situation pause and finally started to analyze, "After a wave of confrontation, a 2v2 clutch was left. The Terrorist side is Jack and shox, and the Astralis side is the Nine-Tang combination."

The barrage in the live stream was full of 【Question first】.

This glance made him see someone under the oil tank, someone on the left and right of the red line, and the remaining three Terrorists were all outside!!

"Da-da-da!"

"But the A site was placed with three people. Vitality's choice for this point wasn't very good. dupreeh's feel was good, the USP was frantically headshotting, and JackZ was also killing from the front!"

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.

As a long-time fan of Team Astralis, he quickly made an accurate judgment: "This is a routine to pull them down to K1. Nalan Tianlu helps bait by blowing the door from inside the site, while the main force rushes K1 as a group. In the second wave, Nalan Tianlu can also help watch the pipe to cover the rear. It's a very effective tactic."

Seventh round.

Players watching the match online were frantically scrolling the screen, and inside the arena, the English stream commentators were also shouting loudly, evaluating the confrontation of Map 1.

13:15, 1v5 clutch.

"Three at the third floor!" dupreeh reported the position immediately after being killed.

They believed Astralis could find the rhythm and let the match enter Map 3.

Not only them, but even shox and JackZ, who were already dead, looked at Xu Beifang in a daze.

The score reached 9:3.

"The Yellow Room fire burned, dupreeh realized something was wrong, but he had no smoke grenade to extinguish the fire!"

"Vitality didn't choose any aggressive playing style. The start was still the usual map control. The iron door exploded, Jack continued to throw a flashbang toward the main entrance, and the Yellow Room also popped a flash, making a feint of speeding up."

They didn't kill Xu Beifang alone with four people. This wave was purely gunplay suppression.

If the bomb was on the top, the difficulty of picking up the bomb would be greater, which also locked xyp9x's position for Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang in the lens just slightly raised his hands. The meaning was obvious: your cheers could be louder.

The short halftime break ended quickly, and the players of both sides returned to the stage.

However, he didn't shoot in the first wave of utility, but was waiting for a timing.

But Astralis's Desert Eagle, those who understand, understand.

19:16

ID: Nice

Kills/Assists/Deaths: 44/5/18

Average Damage per Round: 152.3

KAST: 85.7%

MO laughed on the side: "This 35-round match killed 44 people, an average of 1.25 kills per round. Where did this monster come from!"

"Utility is ready for the second time, directly start exploding the bomb!!"

The outside first-line smoke, this essential utility on this map, was even developed by Astralis.

As one of the most famous tactical teams in the world, Astralis was the first team to develop this map during the CSGO period.

The first two kills were actually very bright, with precise pre-aiming and efficient trading.

"dupreeh outside was also killed by Xu Beifang, leaving only device and Magisk. 2v5 clutch, this wave was completely dominated!"

Vitality won another long gun round.

MO said in surprise: "This Xu Beifang also knows 1.6 techniques!"

But the moment dupreeh strafed out, he felt something was wrong.

Xu Beifang took off his headphones amidst the thunderous cheers.

Xu Beifang smiled. He could only say that apEX might not be the most outstanding commander in the world, but he must be the most suitable commander for their team.

【Vitality won't really crush Astralis 2-0, right?】

apEX thought for a while: "Beifang, you apply some pressure outside. I don't want the opponent's tactics to unfold so easily."

After the economy round, the match entered the long gun round again.

"Bang!"

【The feel here is very hot!】

VP members were stunned, and then all laughed out loud.

【Jack killed four in the pistol round, there is kill economy】

This was the time he had to stand up and point them in the direction.

He actually understood that if they fought against tactics, Vitality and Astralis had a certain gap.

【Referee, check strictly!】

"Want to duo queue next time?" the young man holding the cup squeezed his eyes at him.

xyp9x was also helpless. Although he was a famous clutch master and now had the title of the world's No. 1 lurker.

"Congratulations to the Vice President of Xijiang University Esports Club for getting 8th in the world!"

"Look who I caught? A wild Nice, catch him back to be an entry fragger!"

JackZ and apEX also surrounded him. When Xu Beifang won that clutch, because the match wasn't over, they could only suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Xu Beifang walked back to the iron plate entrance. At this position, he knew a very top-tier wallbang point.

Xu Beifang was startled, but day-after-day training still made him react at this moment.

Only Xu Beifang was left to face this clutch.

In the clutch, a key timing might cause the situation to collapse.

dupreeh was on the left side of the red box, very far from the cover. At this moment, there was no way, he could only hold K1 and walk back carefully.

The right fist hit the screen directly. The cheers on the scene were loud, because from the director's lens, this force didn't want the screen to live at all.

After the countdown ended, the round started, and Xu Beifang walked directly toward the outside.

Or Astralis made a mistake, not intending to plant the bomb, such an outrageous thing.

"The Terrorists didn't dare to plant the bomb. The two were still hesitating. Jiuye had already sneaked to the iron door. This position was quite mysterious. The two Terrorists chose to walk back silently to touch the iron plate, but Jiuye happened to see shox's back. This wave is finished!"

Xu Beifang heard this and immediately turned to hold the iron door, and heard a grenade explode the iron door, and then smoke and flashbangs were thrown toward the main entrance.

During the 1.6 period, Nuke was purely made of paper, so many points on the map could be wallbanged directly.

apEX thought for a while and said: "Beifang, you apply some pressure outside. I don't want the opponent's tactics to unfold so easily."

"Da-da-da!"

【Xu Beifang's main entrance is too ruthless. He didn't even see anyone, but dealt nearly 300 damage.】

Vitality started scoring again with two timeouts.

"Give you a more scientific suggestion: 1000 bots and deathmatch every day, and practice pre-aiming maps more." This was the handsome long-necked big brother.

pasha touched his chest and panted: "This match is too exciting."

NEO had also played such a stunning scene back then.

He understood very well,

The dynasty that belonged to them had already arrived!

gla1ve turned his head to look at his teammates. device and xyp9x were still able to hide their emotions, but Magisk had a long face.

"You are always able to create miracles!"

"Beifang has once again secured the opening kill at Outside, but this single kill has directly scared Team Astralis off. Everyone is retreating. Are they planning to rotate directly to Iron Plate?"

Waiting for the second timing, Xu Beifang pre-aimed well and peeked out.

"Shushu, you go straight to CT Spawn to save your gun. I'll see if I can ninja defuse."

"Your priorities are wrong right now. Next, try to slow down the pace of the match. After all, this is a tactical map, and the IGL can play a huge, huge role, so find a way to bring out our strengths..."

"gla1ve, your train of thought is a bit off. Although I really don't want to admit it, the opponent's individual skill is the hardest part for us to deal with. We must find a way to avoid their individual skill now, use tactics to gain an advantage first, and then rely on gunplay to win the match."

device, carrying the AWP, finally had a moment of glory. Relying on the door-blowing tactic, he caught Xu Beifang, who made a mistake while crossing at the Main Entrance, and secured the opening kill of the round.

CSGO is not a purely turn-based game; it doesn't mean that every round will produce enough kills and deaths.

"Nice shot!"

The voice channel finally returned to normal.

"We dragged you guys down..."

This time, Team Astralis played a fairly simple tactic: one person hung out in the Terrorist Hall, while the others walked silently and touched down K1 directly.

"Bang!"

Three bullets, three heads, instantly wiping out Team Vitality at A Site!

Fortunately, shox rotated in time, pulling out from Sanlou to clear the screen, which prevented the match from entering a reset.

"Not at all, they intend to rush straight out of Yellow Room. device's flashbang is very bright! apEX and JackZ are completely unable to open their eyes and are taken out while blinded!"

"Team Astralis is already a bit paranoid now. They want to manage their utility, but there isn't much utility left for them to manage! After the first round of utility, only one smoke grenade is left at A Site!"

"Listen to these cheers from the scene; this is the charm of this man!"

Watching the two young players on the team trying hard but being discouraged by the match, apEX said: "If it's not working, just save your guns... We didn't play well inside A Site this round and didn't trade for effective kills."

Xu Beifang is not the one defending the Iron Plate position, so he is not particularly familiar with the defensive routines for this spot.

But fortunately, the big comeback on Map 1 brought quite a bit of pressure to Team Astralis.

Xu Beifang winked at him: "I'll take that as a good omen!"

The director showed the replay of the kills this round. From their perspective, this sequence was indeed quite exaggerated.

"Plan remains unchanged, I'm winning the championship!"

Fortunately, they adjusted back after the subsequent timeout.

"Now VP officially sends you an invitation, inviting you to join the VP team!"

Then, coordinate with the ideas of the "Twin Stars" to the greatest extent, letting them unleash themselves to their heart's content.

With his teammates in this state, he felt that unless someone pulled off an amazing comeback, their morale wouldn't be saved.

NiKo held a beer in his right hand, looking at device with a sympathetic expression. He, or rather the group of people beside him, could all understand device's move.

Ma Xixi said with a sincere face, "Really, don't be a fence-sitter. Those brothers who support Team Astralis, don't panic just because you lost a few rounds."

"Team Astralis has two sets of utility here. Nalan Tianlu was left in the Terrorist Hall, and the main force is gathering Outside."

As the attacking side in the first half, Team Vitality kept control of the match's rhythm. ZywOo, Xu Beifang, shox, and others performed one after another, directly securing a 9:6 score.

"Go, go, go! Don't go Outside to look for trouble with him!" gla1ve said quickly, "Everyone walk silently back now, and execute a fast rush out of Yellow Room. Don't give him any room to operate!"

The others chuckled, but Xu Beifang's words really hit home for them.

If you can steadily get one kill every round, you can already become the backbone of the team.

ZywOo asked: "Dou Dou, are we buying this round?"

【ZywOo killed gla1ve with an AWP】

But unfortunately, in the next round, Xu Beifang used a triple-kill to suppress Team Astralis's momentum.

Even if this guy's clutch ability is good, he still needs an opportunity to play the clutch!

"device gives fire from the front to suppress Xu, but the moment he jiggles, he is peeked and instantly killed by Xu. What kind of reaction is this!!"

ZywOo fired a couple of shots through the wall at the site from the Main Entrance, then made a footstep sound, followed by scoping in once to counter-peek, and then retreated with heavy footsteps, simulating the act of a fake retake perfectly.

This kill originally made Team Astralis fans very excited, but Team Vitality's subsequent reaction instantly crushed Team Astralis.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being an esports comedian who can compete on the same stage as ZywOo.

Later, during CSGO, this map underwent several minor revisions and became less exaggerated, but the wall-banging characteristic remained on this map.

He even added some details, including the order in which various utility items were thrown.

Later, leaving A Du and gla1ve in a 2v4 clutch, they managed to trade for 3 kills, but in the end, they still couldn't win the round.

The stats of the ten players on Inferno appeared on the screen.

apEX was a bit annoyed; they still made some slight mistakes in the details. They shouldn't have played a default this round, but rather grouped up to execute a play.

After regaining vision and peeking out, he saw someone jiggle-peeking on the oil tank.

"I'm sure xyp9x is on the right side above. Once you know he has a sniper rifle, you know how to handle it. I can only bet that the sniper misses, take xyp9x down, and then I'll have a chance to make a play."

Nalan Tianlu caught this timing, and device immediately rotated to reinforce B Site.

【Greatness needs no words, JackZ is truly a team player!】

"I can't even imagine now that he could win this clutch in such an imaginative way. This guy has real guts!"

"Is Team Vitality buying Hero AKs directly? Do they trust Beifang that much?"

"A Du is standing next to the pipe, exposing two large sides to him, but his gunplay has already deformed. He shot first but was counter-killed instead. He didn't seize this opportunity!"

【The director's perspective saw it all just now; he pressed the M4 down to a single point while blinded. This recoil control is absurd.】

【But it was precisely because of that 1v5 that the situation reversed.】

【You have a frame, why don't you shoot?】

But the third and fourth kills were somewhat mind-boggling.

【This can't be blamed on device, right? He was already top-fragging; it was just that 1v5 where he missed. Who would have thought Xu would be so bold as to come over and fight in that way?】

The director also liked to stir the pot, broadcasting apEX's taunt.

In this round, A Du had the best position on the team, so he was charging toward K1 with heavy footsteps almost the entire time.

The director was very mischievous, even providing a special perspective.

Xu Beifang was completely doing the work of two people in today's match, which is why they felt it was so exaggerated.

Inside the Team Vitality practice room, the group was laughing happily.

apEX was a bit annoyed. He was just considering whether the opponent was going to rotate to Iron Plate and whether he should take the initiative to defend K1, when the opponent threw a flash and rushed in.

【Nice killed gla1ve with an M4A1 headshot】

If you can't kill Xu Beifang with one punch, then try your best to avoid him and let Xu Beifang run around the map.

Off-stage, Team Astralis fans were full of anticipation. They had already been defeated on Map 1, so they could only pin their hopes on the confrontation on Map 2.

"ZywOo, I want to go down K1 directly this round, and then counter-rush Outside from the K1 entrance in the second wave. See who is suitable to go and cover the Main Entrance." Xu Beifang asked.

After Xu Beifang got the kill, he didn't stop there but continued to jiggle out to scout.

Xu Beifang was constantly pulling back and forth at the K1 entrance.

"Where is he?" A Du asked immediately upon seeing the kill feed.

"Da-da!"

Once the audience saw it, they understood immediately.

Wanjiqi shook his head: "Today, it's full firepower."

Wanjiqi added: "However, Team Vitality's level on this map is not bad either. Although the previous times it was picked, it was a bit bumpy, the final results were all good."

"The Terrorists are all walking home, the ten-second countdown has already sounded, they didn't expect the opponent to still be here!"

When at a numerical disadvantage, they chose to take the initiative to push forward, and they successfully regained their footing.

"This tournament rating is higher than Danking's height!"

The match entered a tactical timeout. It wasn't that the equipment had a problem anywhere, but that Team Astralis had actively called for the timeout.

apEX thought for a moment: "How about Shushu goes? Since you plan to go to K1 to counter-rush Outside, it doesn't matter if the warehouse is left open. Shushu can just go to the Main Entrance to cover at the start."

【Nice killed xyp9x with an AK47 headshot】

Xu Beifang waited quietly in B Tunnel with an AK, the fire from the Iron Plate CT burning and extinguishing quietly.

But the moment he jiggle-peeked, bullets hit his body. Xu Beifang immediately retreated a step, pulling his crosshair onto the oil tank.

"No movement was given at the start here; in the second wave, they went toward Iron Plate. This is an intention to come over and bully xyp9x at Iron Plate."

However, the Team Vitality members in the lounge were not immersed in the joy of the Map 1 victory; they immediately discussed the strategy and approach for Map 2.

It wasn't until the first full-buy round of the second half.

But before he could make a choice, a USP bullet hit his skull.

【Nice killed xyp9x with an AK47 headshot】

Losing six rounds in a row at the start, they really couldn't hold on anymore and had to take the initiative to adjust. Even cooling down Team Vitality's hand-hot state would be good.

Magisk did a spin-jump and jumped directly behind the small box next to Red Box.

apEX even stood up directly and shouted at the other side of the stage: "Are you G2??"

But if they knew the opponent had the idea of going down the pipe, they could immediately group up and retake from Iron Plate, using their gunplay to do the talking.

Xu Beifang explained: "You guys let me take the resources like this; if I can't carry, I'd be sorry for the AKs you bought."

shox sat in the seat next to him, wondering what he was thinking, watching Xu Beifang laughing and shaking his head.

Not winning a single round at the start of the second half of Map 1 really made them feel like dying.

"Beifang has already touched the K1 entrance this round. Is he going to throw a flash to counter-rush? Or is he catching a timing?"

Just like Team Vitality's current winning streak on Inferno, Team Astralis previously also had an exaggerated winning streak on Nuke.

He didn't even have the thought of picking up the bomb, but found an opportunity to sneak into A Site, wanting to catch someone in the back.

This is the pain of an IGL; it's very difficult to maintain both gunplay and strategy.

It's really hard to win a round, with the whole process being tense. You thought you were going to win, but then a big turn of events happened. Who could stand that?

And Team Vitality happened not to put anyone in B Site this round, so they were easily occupied by Team Astralis.

The director's camera gave a shot of Team Astralis's player bench; Magisk already had a long face.

Although he hadn't put pressure on Outside before, he was still intentionally gathering all kinds of information.

For example, in the first full-buy round, gla1ve felt that his tactical call had no problems. Applying pressure directly in the first full-buy round disrupted the opponent's rhythm.

Ma Xixi glanced at the bullet screen and found that it was full of praise. He originally wanted to follow up with a few words of praise, but as soon as he thought about the scene where he praised Team Vitality on Map 1 and they didn't win a single round in the second half, he held back.

Under the excitement, the voice chat became a mess.

"Xu needs to play more actively!"

"Team Vitality was about to collapse in the next round, but with this bomb defused, they have the economy to play again."

Walking into the lounge, XTQZZZ came up and gave Xu Beifang a hug: "Beifang, your clutch was too exaggerated. I have a premonition that the next time Valve updates, it will be when your map graffiti comes out."

He sat on the sofa, just in time to see the live broadcast showing the post-match stats.

Like ZywOo in this match, he racked up 36 kills, barely reaching the result of one kill per round.

【Nice killed dupreeh with a USP headshot】

When the commentators started setting the stage, they were already looking forward to it.

"To be honest, the defensive side has an advantage on this map. This sequence was purely because Beifang was a bit lucky. In the first few rounds, you couldn't see anything at all."

Wanjiqi's mouth was already stretched to his ears: "Now the Terrorists' positions are all very far away, and they still can't stop Beifang! Three seconds, two seconds, one second... Defused!!"

He looked at the trophy shining with brilliant light in the center of the stage.

Team Astralis chose to execute a fast attack, intending to pinch from Outside and the Terrorist Hall.

The two had worked together on this move before, and this time it was even more skillful.

The moment the screen froze, apEX and his teammates high-fived to celebrate: "Brothers, you played very well! That's how it should be, don't give Team Astralis any room to breathe."

device, holding an angle from Sanlou, immediately saw ZywOo jumping out and sprayed a burst of fire at him.

gla1ve took a long breath: "Coach, call another timeout, at least cool down their hand-hot state first. The opponent's hands are so hot, we can't trade kills at all in a frontal fight."

dupreeh was directly knocked flying!

He had a hard time choosing for a moment.

Although XTQZZZ was also letting his imagination run wild, as a coach, this is the time he is needed: "Don't be careless, don't forget how the second half of Map 1 started."

Seeing Xu Beifang get the kill, ZywOo started charging forward directly.

JackZ and shox were instantly melted, and the thing that gave them a headache happened: the bomb was still in the Terrorist Hall, and their rear was cut off.

"Team Astralis is using brute force, charging in from the Iron Door, but Beifang is outputting like crazy while blinded!!"

"Team Astralis doesn't have much economy either, and they don't dare to hunt these two guys. They steadily wait for the 10-second countdown, and a group of low-health Terrorist brothers start to retreat."

But the opponent's movement was very agile, and they directly shrank back.

They still need to win at least one more map in the subsequent two maps!

And if possible, they don't want to have a long night with many dreams; cutting the Gordian knot and ending this BO3 directly would be the best ending.

Because the economy was sufficient, they tried to execute a play, but in a desperate situation, A Du exploded, helping Team Astralis win the first score with a triple-kill.

Walking into the tunnel, Xu Beifang peeled a banana from the snack bag on the side and ate it. The intense confrontation brought huge physical exertion.

Second round.

Even Xu Beifang, who has always had a stable mindset, couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

But after the utility was thrown, Nice left them all at the Iron Door with one burst. How can they play like this?

Team Astralis coach zonic had a serious face. As the man behind a dynasty, now that the whole team has fallen into a trough, he also understands very well that at this moment, all the players have begun to doubt themselves.

The best performer, device, racked up 33 kills in this match.

ZywOo arrived at the Main Entrance at the first moment and saw the Main Entrance blown open.

Xu Beifang didn't say anything, and they, immersed in the competitive mood, hadn't noticed.

Losing the force-buy round, Team Astralis could only enter an eco round, and Team Vitality took another point.

A Du sprayed a burst of fire, but was headshot-killed by Xu Beifang who shot later. The pain mask appeared instantly; he spread his hands like a bear, leaned his head against the gaming chair, thought for two seconds, and couldn't help but laugh again.

11:5

Xu Beifang extended his fist to JackZ: "That was a pity, we didn't play well, otherwise we would have definitely won."

But in a 2v4, both were in the front, and the opponent confirmed that there was no one behind them, constantly refreshing smokes and fires at the Main Entrance and Sanlou. This was a bit tricky.

Hangzhou, inside the Tyloo base.

"xyp9x has already made a move, blowing the door, pushing the smoke, and then shooting; the pressure is fully maxed out." Ma Xixi looked at the mini-map, "But Team Vitality's positioning doesn't seem to care about them going down the pipe at all!"

After entering behind Red Box, he performed a pre-aim very quickly.

NEO laughed and scolded.

"Steady! Steady!"

Several people talked at once, directly communicating the Outside tactic.

Ma Xixi took a breath: "It's really a bit terrifying; these two guys' pistols are really accurate!!"

The comeback on Inferno was pleasantly surprising, but in terms of the big score, they were only 1-0 up, and the match wasn't over!

Who calculated this 1% win rate?

He estimated that it was a prediction that Team Astralis would make a mistake and let Xu Beifang ninja defuse.

But unexpectedly, in the second wave, Team Astralis chose to execute an attack from the Iron Door.

The director gave the camera to Xu Beifang on Sanlou, and Wanjiqi's eyes lit up: "Wait, Xu still wants to try..."

"Magisk inside the Iron Door heard footsteps and peeked directly to look for an opportunity, but Xu adjusted his aim and got another headshot!!"

He considered himself a professional commentator.

Between the seesaw of the score, the numbers above the big screen reached 8:3.

Team Vitality was overall still the dominant side, but Team Astralis's offensive in these few rounds was quite strong, which also put a certain amount of pressure on them.

Several people walked quickly toward the player tunnel back to the backstage. After the sound in the venue became a little quieter, Xu Beifang explained: "It's fortunate that the opponent threw the bomb up there, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to play this round."

He first saw a CT on Sanlou, but then realized something was wrong: there was also one standing above the glass room, and one crouching behind the small steps below the glass room.

Nuke is a CT-sided map; getting 10 points can only be considered a small advantage, so their pressure was still relatively high.

After being killed, gla1ve was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xu Beifang was likely mixed in around the first-line smoke.

"Bang!"

【The hand-hot state here is really high!】

The VP members were stunned, and then they all burst into laughter.

【JackZ killed four in the pistol round; there's kill economy.】

At this time, he had to stand up and point them in the right direction.

He actually understood that if they competed tactically, there was a certain gap between Team Vitality and Team Astralis.

【Referee, check thoroughly!】

"Beifang, want to duo queue?" The young man holding a cup winked at him.

xyp9x was also helpless. Although he is a famous clutch master and even has the title of the world's number one lurker today.

"Congratulations to the Vice President of Xijiang University CS Club for reaching world number eight!"

"Look who I caught? A wild Nice, caught back to be an entry fragger!"

JackZ and apEX also gathered around. When Xu Beifang won that clutch, because the match wasn't over yet, they could only suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Xu Beifang walked back to the Iron Plate entrance. At this position, he knew a top-tier wallbang spot.

Xu Beifang was startled, but day-after-day training still allowed him to react at this moment.

Only Xu Beifang was left to face this clutch.

In a clutch, a key timing might cause the situation to collapse.

A Du was on the left side of Red Box, far from cover. At this moment, there was no other way but to hold K1 and walk back carefully.

His right fist hit the screen directly. The scene gasped, because from the director's camera, this force didn't look like he wanted the screen to live at all.

The countdown ended, the round started, and Xu Beifang walked directly toward Outside.

Or perhaps Team Astralis made a mistake and didn't plan to plant the bomb, such an outrageous thing.

"The Terrorists didn't dare to plant the bomb, the two were still hesitating, Nalan Tianlu had already touched the Iron Door, this position is quite mysterious, the two Terrorists chose to walk back silently to touch Iron Plate, but Nalan Tianlu happened to see shox's back, this round is over!"

Hearing this, Xu Beifang immediately turned to hold the Iron Door, and heard a grenade blow the Iron Door open, then a smoke grenade and a flashbang were thrown toward the Main Entrance.

In the 1.6 era, the map Nuke was purely made of paper, so many spots on the map could be wallbanged directly.

apEX thought for a moment and said: "Beifang, give a little pressure Outside; I don't want the opponent's tactics to unfold so easily."

"Da-da-da!"

【Xu's Main Entrance is too ruthless; he didn't even see anyone and dealt nearly 300 damage.】

Relying on two timeouts, Team Vitality discussed countermeasures and started scoring again.

"Give you a more scientific suggestion: 1000 bots and deathmatch every day, and practice pre-aiming maps more." This is the handsome long-necked big brother.

pasha touched his chest, panting: "This damn match is too exciting."

NEO had also once pulled off such an amazing scene.

He understood very well,

The dynasty that belongs to them has arrived!
