Chapter 417: 2 to 1, 5 words to say, 9 is to send
VG's performance in map one was indeed a bit ugly, which also disappointed the viewers who came to support them.
Map one, Overpass, was their own map choice, and VG often could blow up Tyloo on this map, so their fans had high expectations.
Longing for VG to appear with an upset, letting them see the new power of CNCS!
But facts proved that longing is the distance furthest from understanding.
Not talking about winning, if VG could get 10 points, fans could also praise them for losing with honor, thinking they had made quite a lot of progress overall.
But today, in this match, 259 was just holding the angle, still holding the angle.
Ma Xixi said: "VG actually likes to play against teams that actively come out to push in the early stage and then retreat to the bomb site in the second time, but Vitality's style of play can always disrupt their rhythm in the early stage, making them unable to operate at all."
MO on the side found an excuse for VG: "The strength gap is indeed too large, VG didn't show any decent offense, but in this match, Jamyoung played quite well, and he got 15 kills in the whole match."
"As a newcomer, being able to get such a good performance in a first-tier match is quite good."
Many netizens in the live stream room also echoed:
【Although VG played very ugly, Jamyoung's performance as a newcomer was still commendable. There were several rounds where he caught opportunities】
He was unwilling, but this is ultimately a team game.
259 was already thinking about the review after the map two match ended.
An excellent lurker can add wings to a tiger, but cannot turn the tide.
The director gave the camera to VG's match room.
As a lurker, he had already tried very hard to operate.
But didn't expect that after Overpass was finished, the teammates' mindset was already not good.
【Although it's a bit ridiculous, it's indeed like this. Those professional players who were fried by Beishen are all top genius teenagers from various countries】
That way, even if they went to ask for an autograph after the match, Beizige would remember it was that newcomer who didn't perform well.
"We've played almost all the things we prepared. Everyone's performance in map one wasn't very good. Now we can only try our best to work harder in map two."
The team can play well frontally, and he, the lurker, has space to play on the flank.
【Jamyoung actually played very well, but the bad news is that only the newcomer is playing】
259 hoped to get more points, at least not only 6 points like Overpass.
But the problem is, VG was purely crushed!
Because of his position, Xu Beifang's offense in this match was just average, but Zywoo seemed to be stimulated by Xu Beifang's performance in map one, and started to explode continuously, basically not losing in frontal duels. The netizens watching the live stream finally felt Zywoo's charm—wherever he aimed, there was someone, as if watching the game from a god's-eye view.
【Nice: Genius is just the threshold to see me】
Today, finally competing against his idol, Jamyoung was actually quite nervous. He was very worried that he wouldn't perform well in front of his idol and would end up with some abstract record.
He had already taken the outcome very lightly.
Inside the University Gymnasium, Tyloo lounge.
"This is too miserable!" Xiaogui looked at the screen, feeling a bit unbearable.
The young man wore all his emotions on his face. Fortunately, the thick spectacle frames weakened his emotions a bit, and others didn't notice.
Then map two and map three were purely used for training, and everything was perfect.
After map one ended, 259's mood wasn't very good either.
Originally, according to his assumption, they would try their best in map one and finally take it down dangerously.
After map one ended, Jamyoung let out a long breath, feeling a sense of relief.
He looked at the record on the screen, very unwilling.
Although it looked like his data wasn't much better, the lurker position is a position that is extremely highly correlated with the team.
Although his stats don't look that great either, the lurker position is one that is extremely closely tied to the team.
"Just try your best to play, treat map two as a practice match, don't have too much pressure."
Although they expected Vertigo to be a crushing plot, they didn't expect it to be crushed so thoroughly.
【VG newcomer's performance is indeed good, but the bad news is that only the newcomer is performing】
He had already done everything he could, but the frontal gap was too large.
Map two was Vertigo, which Vitality actively chose. They didn't expect to win, just wanted to get some more points.
However, the structure of Vertigo is relatively simple. As long as they can stand on the slope or A-small at A Long, the probability of getting points is actually not low.
【Newcomer's first match played so beautifully, it seems another genius teenager is about to shine】
From their perspective, no matter what map, the difficulty of defense actually isn't very high. As long as the players communicate well and can win frontal duels, they can still get some points.
But he didn't expect that he held on, but his teammates didn't hold on at all.
If it were a familiar map, they could still operate, but Vertigo was only recently decided to be included in their map pool, so they could only do their best.
After preparing, the halftime break ended, and both sides entered the second half confrontation.
Knowing the opponent was Vitality, he frantically watched many Vitality recordings, but the final preparation didn't play much of a role.
Jamyoung and A-Zhong were trying hard to kill, but their kills couldn't produce a particularly large impact on the situation. In the end, the first half was beaten by Vitality into a score that could be called outrageous, 15:0.
Coming to the second half, they didn't know if Vitality was intentional or careless. apEX took the lead in giving away the first kill in the pistol round, and VG's B attack also relied on thrilling trade kills to win the pistol round.
Seeing this scene, Danking said: "First, let's rule out human sentiment."
Actually, even if Vitality made a mistake, it belonged to the normal range.
After all, 15:0, just one round away from winning, it's normal to play a bit more freely at this time.
In the second round of the second half, Vitality chose to adjust their economy, intending to get off work early.
Soon came the third round, which was the first long gun round of the second half. Xu Beifang and Zywoo showed a wave of synchronized pushing from A-small and A Long. They were like bulldozers, directly crushing VG's defense at A.
The covering Shox also caught the timing of Jamyoung's retake and killed him.
Finally, only 259 was left holding the middle, facing this 1v5 clutch.
But the problem is, his kills didn't exceed five in the whole match, and the cold hand feel made netizens unable to think of how he would win.
He didn't live up to the netizens' expectations either. He retook to the A bomb site, was quickly killed, and peacefully ended the confrontation on Vertigo.
Inside the CSBOY live stream room.
"Sent!" Ma Xixi said loudly, "Then let us congratulate Vitality for taking the victory on the first day of the IEM Beijing group stage and achieving their opening win!"
"Vitality's performance in this BO3 can be called perfect. The twin stars each carried a map, and the others also had highlights, without any very obvious loopholes."
Map one Xu Beifang was frantically covering at both A and B, map two Zywoo even opened the full-map vision to find people to kill, and even though it was a crushing picture on both maps, the others didn't become the team's breakthrough point, and they were also stably getting kills.
Although the highlights weren't that dazzling, compared to VG, they were very shining.
The camera gave to VG's match room, and all five players had a sense of relief.
The IEM Beijing group stage was played in the training room, without the cheers of offline viewers.
However, there were quite a few netizens on the live stream, and at the moment the match ended, they also sent congratulations to Vitality.
【Take down this mediocre BO3】
【Can only say this match couldn't give Vitality the pressure it deserved at all, it was just a warm-up】
【Newcomer Jamyoung played quite well, but this 259 is too abstract】
【Can't he? Map one and map two combined didn't even have a fraction of Beifang's】
【Although I know a leader's marksmanship can be a bit poor, but this 259 is too exaggerated】
【259 is really not a human, right? What was he possessed by?】
【I don't even ask him to kill, just do some damage, the average damage of two maps didn't exceed 30】
【2 to 1, 5 words to say, 9 is to send】
【How come someone is impersonating a professional player】
Many people in the live stream room were complaining about 259's performance. From their perspective, VG actually had quite a few opportunities to get points.
But 259's performance made them lose these opportunities to get points.
For a leader, even for strict netizens, the requirements actually weren't high.
After all, everyone who plays CS: GO knows that gunners are easy to get, but leaders are hard to find.
A good leader is priceless.
But no matter how poor the marksmanship is, one should at least be able to stably kill people from behind and the side.
Today in this BO3, 259 appeared 3 times facing a back and side to fire, and then was slapped back in the face.
Even in Vertigo, there was a 1v1 clutch. When he faced Xu Beifang, Xu Beifang clearly only had 1 HP left, but he was still running and pulling, not daring to fire at all.
He had already been beaten into a state of no confidence, like a timid lizard.
Can only say it's too abstract.
Ma Xixi, as a good old man, saw so many people attacking 259, and at this moment hurriedly helped to speak: "259's marksmanship problem, I actually know some."
"As VG's leader, he usually spends more time studying the match recordings of first-tier teams. He spends more time studying tactics and game theory. He usually practices marksmanship less, but before the big tournament, he will also conduct deathmatch assault training."
MO, as one of the best leaders in the country, had a relatively straightforward personality. He subconsciously opened his mouth on the side: "But I didn't see him play any brilliant tactics."
Ma Xixi was silent instantly.
He wanted to smooth things over, but found that what MO said was a fact.
In this confrontation, VG's offense can be divided into these parts.
Start by controlling the map, retreat to the back point after being anti-cleared.
Prepare explosive grenades, hold the angle in place after being countered by utility.
Forced to attack when time is running out, finished off by Vitality.
Where is there any particularly beautiful game theory?
Ma Xixi felt that if MO went up, he might get more points.
The camera gave to Vitality at this time.
The Vitality group who won the match was in a pleasant mood, with bright smiles on their faces.
"Shushu is awesome, this map two really opened up, 35 kills 6 deaths, chasing the opponent to kill!" Xu Beifang reached out and scratched Zywoo's back of the head.
Zywoo smiled: "If I continued to play the sniper in the back, the people would have been killed by you alone."
He also suddenly wanted to play more actively in map two, so he used a rifle to walk at the front point the whole time, closely following Xu Beifang.
Map one had already probed VG's strength, so Xu Beifang played a bit more freely, and Zywoo in the trade position was very comfortable. He belonged to the type that he could definitely trade if there was information, and he could also help hold the angle if there was no information.
Finally, he played a KD ratio that could be called outrageous.
After a slight celebration, the group walked toward VG's match room. On the way, apEX was still asking for credit, asking how his tactics were in a certain long gun round.
Winning the match, Xu Beifang naturally gave Dou Dou full emotional value, praising him until he couldn't find north.
The camera followed the Vitality group all the way to VG.
The young Jamyoung, although unwilling to lose, indeed felt the gap with top-tier teams in this match.
All-round pressure, even the ID would put pressure on them.
In Overpass, as long as Xu Beifang was still alive, his mood couldn't calm down.
And this pressure was all played out by the man in front of him with his strength.
"Jamyoung? Played very well today!" Xu Beifang took the initiative to hug Jamyoung and reached out to pat him on the back to show encouragement.
Jamyoung was a bit surprised, didn't expect Xu Beifang to actually know his name, and at this moment had some surprise on his face.
He hurriedly said: "No, no, the performance was still a bit poor."
"It's okay, losing this match isn't your problem. You caught the timing well in several rounds. Work hard on training, and you can shine in the future."
Xu Beifang was about to leave, and at this time Jamyoung suddenly said a bit embarrassedly: "Beizige, can you sign for me? Actually, I'm your fan."
Xu Beifang smiled: "I'll add you on WeChat after the match, we can discuss it together."
He was a bit surprised, didn't expect that he had already become someone else's idol in the professional circle.
Still remembering when he first entered the circle, he was the one shouting "XXX, I'm your fan."
Xu Beifang shook hands with the others in VG one after another and chatted a bit.
When he reached 259, he couldn't help but say: "Old Nine, go back and practice your marksmanship later."
Xu Beifang didn't have any intention of attacking 259, purely feeling that 259's marksmanship was too outrageous. Today, there were several times he thought VG bought a decoy grenade, because the gunfire sounded for a long time without any damage.
259's face turned red. He could hear that Xu Beifang had no malice.
But lies don't hurt people, the truth is the fast knife.
His marksmanship today was indeed too abstract, even he himself couldn't bear to look at it.
He didn't speak, just watched Xu Beifang leave. ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
His gunplay today was truly too abstract; even he himself couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He said nothing, just watching Xu Beifang walk away.
