Chapter 397: Map graffiti in production?

~14 min read 2,790 words

Xu Beifang originally planned to sleep for a few days after winning the championship to let himself recover his spirit.

But he didn't expect that he only slept one hour more than usual, and that was still the power of alcohol.

After waking up, Xu Beifang's first thing was to take his phone from the bedside table and then check the messages in the social software.

When he saw the blessings from friends in the software for Vitality's championship, his heart felt a bit more solid.

Until now, he hasn't fully accepted the information that he has already won the championship.

He still needs some time to adapt to this.

He turned his head to look at the other bed in the room, a bit surprised: "Woke up so early today?"

Zywoo smiles: "My girlfriend just called to congratulate us on winning the championship. Did I disturb you?"

Xu Beifang shakes his head, he didn't even know there was such a thing.

"Then, I couldn't sleep, so I'm watching the recording of yesterday's finals now." Usually, Zywoo's attitude toward CSGO is to never add extra training, but yesterday's final really made him feel it was very interesting, so he specifically found it to watch.

Xiaogui nods: "It's fine, let's meet again when we return to the country!"

Astralis has always been suppressing them tactically, but in the end, the winner was them.

Xiaogui asks: "What are you planning to do? Do you want to go shopping together? We plan to go to the Berlin Wall to play today."

"Then come on brothers, remember to P me handsomely!" Xu Beifang shrugs, the other few people from Tyloo also gathered around and took a group photo together.

But just after walking out of the room, he saw familiar national scolding coming from the opposite door.

Xu Beifang heard this, leaned his head over, and teased with a smile: "Xiaogui, are you guys stupid? The more disgusting he dresses, doesn't it set you guys off like fashion bloggers?"

Zywoo smiles: "Beifang, you don't need to label yourself that you must relax well after the finals. You are not a lazy person to begin with. If you are really uncomfortable, go out for a run, or go to the training room to train."

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Beifang's face couldn't hold it.

Baicai is really surprised.

"Holy crap, Tie Dan, can't you dress like a human being?"

Xu Beifang wanted to lie on the bed and enjoy a leisurely day, but always felt the posture of lying down was not quite right, and couldn't find the most comfortable posture no matter what.

After the Major finals ended yesterday, those classmates and friends he hadn't seen for a long time in his circle of friends all ran out to congratulate Vitality on winning the championship, all congratulating Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang gives Zywoo a thumbs up: "Makes sense."

"How is it not like a human, isn't this handsome? I see Beifang often dressing like this."

Nonsense, of course he knows!

But it was also from here that he understood the impact brought by Vitality's championship yesterday.

Hearing this, Baicai on the side shouts: "Young hero, don't go, take a group photo for the brothers first!"

Tyloo and Vitality often play training matches together, and visiting each other during several Major matches is also quite frequent, and everyone is very familiar, but this Baicai gives him the feeling of chasing stars.

Zywoo is thinking about the core factors in this.

Xu Beifang has no desire to explore that final now.

Zywoo didn't say it and he didn't feel it. He just wants to go move around now, and then go play some bots, or go to deathmatch to practice his aim.

Baicai also praises: "Otherwise, why are they Major champions!"

"What's the need?" Baicai shakes his head, "Brother, you don't know how popular you are now! My circle of friends has been exploded these two days!"

Finally, Xu Beifang lets Baicai send him that group photo on WeChat.

"He has that kind of figure, even if he pulls two plastic bags on his body, people say he is a male model. Let's find an object that is easy to learn."

"I plan to find pasha to go out and exercise." Xu Beifang adds, "I can't make it with you guys today. I might have to go shopping with my family here these few days."

Zywoo on the bed next to him laughs out loud watching his movements.

Then he starts washing up and preparing to go out.

After washing up, Xu Beifang walks out of the room and then sends a message to pasha.

The Berlin Wall is a symbol that divides a country, a city, and even a continent. They finally went abroad for public funds to travel, so naturally, they plan to visit these attractions in Berlin.

Xiaogui turns his head to look when he hears the sound, and only then realizes after hearing Xu Beifang's words.

Xu Beifang says surprisingly: "No need, right."

Xu Beifang just smiles.

His idea is very simple. The finals just ended, and now he has too many subjective judgments when watching this match. After a period of time, when he is a bit more unfamiliar with this match, and then examines the game between the two sides from God's perspective, the effect might be better.

Karrigan's two index fingers point to Xu Beifang instantly: "Hey, brother!"

Then he takes the elevator and starts going downstairs.

Baicai adds on the side: "Otherwise, learn from me, losing weight makes dressing easier."

After the elevator reached the first floor, he saw the sound of the elevator next to him, and then the members of Mouz walked out from inside.

Danking listens to the singing and harmony here, looking at the top-tier outfit in his hand, still a bit unwilling: "Is it really that bad?"

"So take a group photo early, so that in the future, you can tell people when you go out, the person standing next to me is a Major champion!" Baicai says with a grin.

"Is this the understanding of a Major champion?"

This made him dumbfounded. I didn't find you guys paying so much attention to CSGO before!

There are even quite a few friends outside the circle who came to ask him if he knows Nice from the Vitality team.

Xu Beifang extends his right fist toward Karrigan, the two bumped into each other, and simply greeted each other.

"Really, brother, you were too awesome yesterday!" Karrigan praises, "According to my assumption, your possibility of winning the championship in the next Major would be greater, I didn't expect you to smash Astralis in this Major."

"Why is it the next Major?" Xu Beifang asks uncomprehendingly.

Karrigan doesn't answer directly, but smiles cunningly: "Perhaps because your entire Major momentum was too strong?"

ropz also nods: "If you lost a few games in the process, we would instead not have that feeling. You won all the way to the finals, giving us a possibility of a reversal later."

"Just worried that if you didn't hold the pressure in the finals, that would be hard to handle." Karrigan bumps Xu Beifang with his shoulder, "But brother, you held the pressure."

"Secretly tell you, yesterday I ran into a Valve staff member, they are considering making map graffiti for you." Karrigan's secret telling is a sound that spreads throughout the first floor of the hotel.

Hearing this, ropz raises his eyebrows, and the other Mouz members are also a bit surprised.

This is map graffiti after all, an easter egg that will remain on the map, which is also an honor that is very hard to obtain.

Valve rarely makes map graffiti.

The most famous map graffiti are S1mple's blind sniper angel, Coldzera's jump sniper flying man, Olofmeister's fire dancer, and no climbing.

Except for the last no climbing, the other operations all represent miracles that cannot be replicated.

The simplest fire dancer seems to be the easiest to imitate, but after the CSGO incendiary grenade damage update, Olofmeister's fire dancer is also a miracle that cannot be replicated.

And this kind of miracle that cannot be replicated must also have two prerequisites.

1. The match where the miracle appears must be a Major.

2. This round where the miracle appears must be a key node affecting the match.

S1mple's blind sniper angel and Coldzera's jump sniper flying man both meet these three characteristics.

Cannot be replicated, is a match in a Major, and truly achieved influencing the situation of the match.

S1mple and Coldzera both used their own operations to influence the direction of the entire match.

They thought carefully, Xu Beifang seems to have also played an operation of this level in this final.

That 1V5 match point clutch that was unprecedented in the Major finals.

Added to Xu Beifang's incomparably bold choice to use movement to break the situation, and finally succeeded, it is even more of a clutch that cannot be replicated.

And after that round, the match was indeed reversed.

After Xu Beifang played that 1V5, Vitality successfully brought the match into overtime and defeated Astralis in the subsequent overtime.

They passed this information through their minds.

Found that it is really possible to have map graffiti.

ropz praises: "Then congratulations on your second map graffiti appearing."

"Second?" Han Wang asks full of surprise, "Did he have map graffiti before?"

Xu Beifang shrugs, "ropz refers to the billboard on Vertigo, Valve is teasing me."

Left-handed sniper god pats Xu Beifang on the shoulder: "If you have nothing to do in the off-season, tease them again, don't let them go on vacation every day."

"This can have!"

"I agree!"

"I'm waiting to eat melon."

Looking at the Mouz players who are in high spirits, Xu Beifang is quite speechless, "I don't rest on vacation, I act in a serial drama with you every day."

Xu Beifang rolls his eyes at them, then looks at the message pasha sent on his phone, and waves to them: "Go, pasha is waiting for me."

"Don't go!" Karrigan stops Xu Beifang, "Brother, take a group photo first, so we can steal your power from the group photo!"

These unreliable words don't look like something a commander can say at all.

But Xu Beifang doesn't refuse, but honestly takes a group photo with the Mouz members before being let go.

Met two groups of acquaintances, Xu Beifang finally saw pasha at the hotel entrance.

It is worth mentioning that there are two road bikes next to pasha.

Xu Beifang looks at the road bikes and asks curiously: "What's the situation?"

pasha smiles: "Don't worry about it, adjust it, see if it fits?"

Xu Beifang walks up immediately, makes some adjustments to the saddle of the road bike according to his height, and after confirming it is correct, under pasha's greeting, the two start riding on the road.

"How is it?"

"Feels very good!" Xu Beifang praises, "Which brand is this, I'll buy one when I return to the country."

pasha, who is riding on his left, says with a smile: "You don't need to worry about what brand it is, it will be yours from now on!"

"Ah?"

Listening to Xu Beifang's surprised voice, pasha explains: "A championship gift for you. Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to buy a road bike for cycling? We were all away when it was your birthday in July, so it can be considered a birthday gift prepared for you."

"Shouldn't be cheap, right." Xu Beifang's mouth curls, his heart is full of warmth.

"The gift we give you, don't worry about whether it's cheap or not." pasha answers.

This road bike is indeed not cheap, the price is 1498 US dollars, but fortunately, it is a decision made by four people together. Divided by each person, it is not a price that cannot be accepted.

Xu Beifang nods: "Okay, then come to Huaxia to play sometimes, there will be plenty of wine then!"

The two ride on the road in Berlin, the speed is not very fast, chatting about some content casually.

pasha says with great emotion: "We are really happy these two days, watching you win the championship on Astralis's head, that is really cool!"

In the hearts of their group of old guys, they have long regarded Xu Beifang as family.

Some of the old grievances of their older generation have no way to fight back with the passage of time, but Xu Beifang helped them give their opponent Astralis a heavy punch.

It seems to be the arrangement of fate, letting Xu Beifang come to VP at the end of their career, helping them complete this curtain call.

It is also the arrangement of fate, letting Xu Beifang and NEO play an amazing 1V5 move in similar records.

Yesterday, their inner emotional fluctuations were more than this entire year.

After riding for a while, the two came to a store to buy a bottle of water, and then sat down to chat and rest for a while.

"Do you know? The grand occasion on the forum last night was simply exaggerated!" pasha has a proud smile on his face, "Everyone is praising you on Twitter."

He has a feeling that his own son has finally grown up.

Although Xu Beifang scrolled through Twitter last night, he still looked at pasha's phone.

The first concern he brushed out on Twitter is B1ad3... no, it's S1mple using B1ad3's funny avatar.

S1mple: Small town is really the most interesting map in the Major finals

There are also quite a few netizens below evaluating:

【Although he is praising Nice, why do I feel he is implying NIKO again!】

【NIKO: It's endless, isn't it】

【This is just a painful memory of Faze fans. In fact, every Major small town will have very classic scenes, such as the grenade of the male god in the Krakow Major】

【Small town is really the most interesting map in CSGO】

Xu Beifang still wants to continue looking at the comments below, and sees pasha scroll down, the second professional player followed is Guardian.

Guardian: Congratulations to all Vitality players, they showed their dominance in this Major, they have become the new Major champions!

Also congratulations to Nice for getting what he wanted. His professional attitude is worthy of him harvesting this championship. God opened the window crack leading to the Major a little bit, and he seized that little bit of opportunity.

Continue to scroll down...

ropz: Congratulations to Nice, the effort he put in is worth all this. Can you imagine I shouted for two hours in the arena? This is the best Major I have ever seen!

The guest appearances below are even more heavyweight!

Zonic: Can only say admiration @Nice, you are really the most hardworking genius player I have ever seen, and it is also you who let me see where the ceiling of individual ability is. Hope to limit you in the next match.

pasha takes a breath: "Look, the legendary coach says this, he says you are the ceiling of individual ability!"

Xu Beifang says: "CSGO is like this, someone must come out to break everyone's inherent impression. This game has never been team-first or individual-ability-first."

In his idea, at a certain stage in the future, players of his level will become the norm in CSGO.

In that situation, if you want to win, you have to pursue team cooperation, synchronization, tactical execution, etc.

"That's true." pasha smiles again, "However"

Immediately below is NIKO's Twitter. He didn't say any congratulatory words, but posted two photos.

One photo was taken from behind Xu Beifang. At that time, Xu Beifang had finished the performance match, he was standing on the player tunnel with a firm look at the stage, and the stage was the Astralis members who were lifting the cup.

The second photo is a front shot in the arena, Xu Beifang is holding the MVP trophy, welcoming the cheers belonging to him in the golden rain. In the distance of the picture are the Astralis members who are going away in red team uniforms.

The contrast between the two photos is directly maxed out. The person who was looking at the stage in the player tunnel back then, and the person standing on the stage, have already swapped positions.

That young man with a firm look has already completed his goal.

Xu Beifang curls a smile on his face. He is very proud. He established his goal back then, and put in a lot of effort for this goal.

Finally, he really arrived at that place. ===== CHAPTER 398 =====
