Chapter 419: Danking: Baicai, you know, Beifang has always been
November 8, 2019, Friday.
Today is the second day of the IEM Beijing group stage.
Xu Beifang woke up naturally, looked up, and found that Shushu next to him was still in a dream.
Yesterday's mood was good, plus the sleep quality was good, making him feel very energetic now.
Picked up his phone and looked, it was still early, Xu Beifang decisively went out for a run.
After the run, he found that his teammates had woken up one after another, and everyone was washing up.
Shox was the first to finish washing up, took breakfast from Xu Beifang, and smiled and praised: "Having a teammate who can hunt is really cool."
Xu Beifang smiled: "If I bring you a bowl of fermented mung bean milk one day, you won't say that."
"What is fermented mung bean milk?"
Xu Beifang just wanted to say something, but heard the assistant on the side remind: "Everyone move faster, there will be a small meeting in the training room in 10 minutes."
"Four years back," apEX took a breath, "Is this baby powder not crazy?"
"Olof's strength regressed four years, Overpass heavy rain, newcomer broky shining in the schedule, niko purely lying down..." Xu Beifang commented on the record.
On weekdays, he is like a clown, but he is quite serious about the match.
As soon as he said this, JackZ and others widened their eyes instantly.
Xu Beifang found Danking's WeChat and started typing: "Not bad, almost crushed the galaxy battleship yesterday."
Four years back, Olof's strength was really a bit exaggerated.
"Won?"
This was also the reason for Xu Beifang's surprise. After all, they played VG yesterday, map one Overpass played 16:6, map two Vertigo played 16:2, the two maps combined, they didn't let the opponent get 10 points, this score gap was already quite exaggerated.
If it was purely crushed, there wouldn't be much feeling, but scores like 13:16, 14:16, the winning hand is in a certain round of confrontation, losing is quite unwilling.
And this thing is fine to say before the match, but after the match, if the brother didn't play well, it's a bit disgusting to bb, Xu Beifang's emotional intelligence is not that low.
10 minutes later, inside the hotel training room, the Vitality group was having a morning meeting while eating the buns Xu Beifang brought.
XTQZZZ arranged the general action plan for today, so that they all understood what they were going to do today, so they wouldn't be too hasty when executing.
"If you don't want to be rua-ed awake by the coach, speed up," Xu Beifang patted Shushu's shoulder sympathetically.
"Who are we playing today?" JackZ asked curiously, while Shushu on the side was performing two bites per bun.
Then he continued to look at the information niko sent him.
Xu Beifang's surprised look attracted the curious eyes of his teammates in the room.
Regarding this point, niko didn't say when he was showing off, he took the initiative to check HLTV, and understood instantly.
"What's the use of that, didn't win anyway?"
Although he has been bb Tie Dan before the match, Tie Dan's performance yesterday was indeed not bad.
"Ah?"
That year's Olof was like Xu Beifang now, with that feeling of suppressing the world.
But didn't expect that Tyloo could be zero-sealed by the galaxy battleship.
"That's too painful," apEX felt the pain.
Maybe he would be immersed in the emotion of that confrontation for a few hours.
"There is no need to review yesterday's match. Today we still follow our own rhythm. Everyone practices marksmanship in the morning, plays deathmatch, there is a lunch break after lunch, after two o'clock, we scan the recent match demos of the next opponents, and set off at 4 o'clock to prepare for the venue."
Although Tyloo and them have a certain strength gap, they have practiced with Tyloo many times, know the approximate range of Tyloo's level, and being zero-sealed is really a bit exaggerated.
This is also one of the charms of CS: GO, always making you unwilling to fail.
"Zero-sealed!"
Yesterday's match was lost quite tragically, and the evaluations on the Internet were all losing with honor, but what's the use?
He still really wanted to see the scene where he won once, and then everyone on the Internet was praising him.
Tyloo should have started training too, Tie Dan replied to the message quickly:
"They played against Tyloo yesterday, and directly gave Tyloo a 16:0 on Overpass."
"Why would I say that after winning?" Xu Beifang rolled his eyes at shox. "One green carrying four reds, and in the end, we lost 13:16."
xtqzzz is a coach who pays great attention to the balance between work and rest, but once the tournament schedule begins, he is also quite strict.
"What's the situation?" apEX was a bit confused. "Tyloo shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Xu Beifang also knew that Tie Dan was not in a very good mood.
Xu Beifang replied, "It should be FaZe Clan."
"Tyloo was a bit stunned at the beginning, and later their aim went soft. They also lost quite a few clutches they shouldn't have, which is why they got shut out."
Xu Beifang took another look at Map 2: "But once they got into Dust II, it was better. Tyloo regained some form, and danking played like a god, putting up a 1.4 rating."
Below it was a classic meme of NiKo rolling his eyes.
Xu Beifang immediately explained, "I thought our form on the first day was already outstanding enough, but I didn't expect the Galaxy Battleship to be even more exaggerated than us."
"Whoa, didn't expect there to be experts here!"
"Keep it up! You played quite well. Find a chance to win one or two matches later, and let people see that my eye for talent is fine." Xu Beifang typed jokingly, "You are the Tomorrow's Star I personally handpicked!"
Tie Dan replied, "Screw you."
Amidst the brothers' banter, his mood finally improved a bit.
Xu Beifang teased him for a while, then stopped bothering Tie Dan.
He continued to browse the match information from the first day of the group stage to see how everyone was doing.
First was the matchup between Astralis and EG, which many people were paying attention to.
Starting tomorrow, the group stage of the IEM Beijing station would officially begin.
Plus, during the Major, EG's predecessor, NRG, had once caused Astralis great pain, so this could also be considered a revenge match.
This match was also played very intensely; both sides finished all three maps with very dangerous scores, and Map 2 Train even went into long overtime again.
But in the end, on Map 3, gla1ve made everyone understand what a true steel-aim commander is.
On the map Vertigo, he followed in Xu Beifang's footsteps, achieving a 100% non-feeding rate and becoming a member of the 100-Point Man club.
Xu Beifang saw that the discussion in the comments section below this match was quite intense.
【This gla1ve has really solidified his status as the World No. 1 Commander】
【Currently, there's no suspense for World No. 1 Entry Fragger and World No. 1 Commander, but there's still some debate about World No. 1 Sniper】
【Seriously, I feel like Nice's sudden emergence is really a good thing for the CS: GO world. He has broken many people's perceptions, and now the performance of professional players is generally better than before】
【No choice, with such an outrageous guy above you, you can get stronger too if you get beaten up every day】
【Everyone's cognitive ceiling is rising. Haven't you noticed that those outrageous stats have become more common now? Yesterday Zywoo blasted out a 2.67 rating on Vertigo】
【Indeed, it feels like the ceiling for this group of people in the professional scene is constantly being raised】
【Nice propped up the ceiling, haha】
Xu Beifang was a bit surprised; he didn't expect this to be linked to him.
With two buns left to eat, Xu Beifang continued scrolling through the forum to kill time.
The first day of IEM Beijing could be considered a successful conclusion, with many amazing performances emerging, such as Vitality's pure domination, where 259 put up inhuman stats.
Or Tyloo getting shut out and losing in a painful match, as well as gla1ve becoming a 100-Point Man.
The first day of the IEM Beijing group stage was truly beyond the netizens' expectations.
This made them look forward to the subsequent plot even more. CS: GO professional matches are always like this; the further you go, the higher the pressure. Under high-pressure states, players will make more mistakes, but they may also break through their limits and produce those eye-catching highlights.
And in the second round of the group matchups, the one with the highest heat is definitely the confrontation between Vitality and FaZe.
Vitality just won the Major and wants to challenge for the Grand Slam at this IEM Beijing tournament, so no matter who they face, they are one of the focal points.
The Galaxy Battleship's new lineup is currently in a honeymoon period, and their combat power is simply exaggerated. Yesterday, they even achieved a shutout against their opponent, making many FaZe fans feel that even against Vitality, their chances of winning are quite high.
The forum launched a heated discussion about this match that hadn't even started yet.
【I feel like FaZe's recent form is really good, their chances of winning are very high. The newcomer broky is young and has sharp aim, Coldzera is experienced, NiKo's form is explosive, rain also has that feeling of diligence, plus an Olofmeister who has returned to his prime—I don't know how they could lose!】
【What did you say? I can't hear you! The roar of the Galaxy Battleship is too loud!】
【But it's not necessarily a sure win against Vitality, right? Isn't Vitality's form just as outstanding?】
【The twins have been putting up fish-frying stats lately, suppressing their opponents head-on so they can't even fight back. Except for apEX occasionally having an episode, Vitality still has the look of a champion】
【I don't really care who wins or loses, but given the form of both sides, this BO3 will definitely be a feast of gunplay】
Xu Beifang agreed with this. Whether it's them or the Galaxy Battleship, they aren't teams that rely too heavily on tactics; they rely more on the players' individual abilities to create miracles.
So in the upcoming BO3, there will be many opportunities for head-on duels.
There are bound to be many clutches on both sides, so this will be a feast of gunplay.
The game of wits at that time will definitely be very exciting.
Xu Beifang stuffed the last half of the bun into his mouth, rubbed his hands in anticipation, and started today's aim training session.
Sharpening his spear at the last minute might not necessarily give him any significant improvement.
But daily fixed aim training gives him an extremely high floor, and now it's just to activate his state.
Busy time always passes quickly.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, they prepared in advance and drove to the University Gymnasium to get ready.
Their match was actually the second one to start, but they still came over early to prepare.
All the necessary preparations were done, and there was nothing else to do in the lounge besides sleeping.
Xu Beifang just browsed his phone, wandering around the room out of boredom.
The main stage was currently broadcasting the Tyloo vs. EG match. Relying on the performance of danking and Xiaogui, they gained some good momentum, and EG proactively called a timeout.
The audience was bored when they suddenly saw a tall and sturdy figure walk into the Tyloo battle area.
【???】
【What's the situation with Beifang?】
【Couldn't stand Tyloo getting shut out yesterday, so he came over to supervise the battle directly?】
【You really shouldn't say that. Why doesn't Tyloo spend a lot of money to invite Beifang over? Just be the coach; whoever plays poorly gets a punch from Beifang!】
【Tyloo's pressure is maxed out, they really don't dare to mess around now】
【As expected of Beifang, he can even catch five big back-stabs like this】
Xu Beifang was still happily looking at the 259 jokes on the internet when he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Beifang, what the hell are you doing?"
Xu Beifang looked up and realized that he had walked into the Tyloo battle area without realizing it.
"Sorry, sorry!" This was a bit too awkward, so he ran away quickly.
"Good luck, guys!"
Hearing Xu Beifang's voice, the Tyloo members were instantly amused.
The screen was still paused, and the live stream room was also amused.
【Playing on his phone】
【Beifang is cute】
【Coach: Must find a way to keep this kid】
【Baicai had already thought about which team to go to as an assistant at that moment】
【danking shouted: Baicai, you know, Beifang has always been my brother】
Xu Beifang's face was as red as some ADC playing Vayne. He hurriedly fled the scene; he even wanted to flee this planet.
It's all 259's fault!
Just now, he was mainly engrossed in the 259 jokes made by netizens and completely lost himself.
Many players who were in the middle of the match also noticed this awkward scene and couldn't help but laugh.
They didn't expect the usually steady Nice to make such a joke.
But this was just a small interlude, and everyone could understand it. After all, who hasn't walked into the wrong classroom while in school and had their heart stop?
He was originally planning to cheer for Tie Dan, but after this, it was a bit awkward.
So after consideration, he decided to honestly return to the Vitality lounge and wait for the match to start.
But he didn't expect that next to the studio, he would be caught by a 5E reporter who wanted to do a pre-match interview.
Because the tournament was held domestically, it was relatively simple for official staff from 5E and Perfect World to come over for interviews.
This 5E reporter had also learned from Li Wenzhe and Se Fu's methods over the past few days, specifically coming to livestream and stake out, just wanting to catch some professional players for netizens to interact with.
Today, he didn't expect to catch a wild Xu Beifang before the match even started.
Big catch!
Xu Beifang didn't agree immediately but asked the coach. After receiving a positive reply, the two found a lounge nearby, sat down, and started the pre-match interview.
"Next you're facing FaZe. Beishen, how are you feeling right now?"
Hearing this title, Xu Beifang hurriedly shouted, "You'd better call me Beifang. This title is a bit exaggerated; it's not at the level of a 'God'."
"We feel that your strength is already enough to enter the realm of gods." The 5E reporter joked, but hearing Xu Beifang's attitude, he still had a good impression of him.
After all, no one dislikes a humble player.
"Facing FaZe, I actually feel okay. Personally, I don't feel too much psychological pressure. After all, the Galaxy Battleship is our old rival."
As he spoke, Xu Beifang looked at the camera and joked, "No one understands NiKo better than me!"
Many people in the 5E official account live stream room were amused by this statement.
"It seems Beifang is very confident about today's match, but if you had a choice, which team would you rather face?"
Xu Beifang didn't hesitate: "Tyloo."
"Why Tyloo?" The reporter was a bit strange.
"If the opponent is Tyloo, I can mock danking unscrupulously." Xu Beifang said with a wicked smile.
"But unfortunately, your opponent today is FaZe Clan. I hope you can put up an outstanding performance."
Although he was caught for a pre-match interview, it was just a simple question-and-answer session.
Because Xu Beifang is a domestic player, he finally asked curiously, "Has Beifang ever used the 5E APP to surf? Online reviews say you especially like to browse posts after matches."
Xu Beifang shook his head: "I occasionally play games on the 5E platform, but I don't really use 5E to browse post-match stuff because there's no need at all. Everyone is usually in the live stream room, and after the match, they just discuss it in the replays of Ma Xixi or Wanjiqi and others. Your APP is not popular at all for this kind of tournament discussion."
Netizens in the 5E official account live stream room highly agreed with Xu Beifang's evaluation. CS: GO discussions either happen during the match, where you vent while watching the stream.
Or you go to various highlight reels after the match, or discuss in the comment sections of the two big spenders, Ma Xixi and Wanjiqi.
At worst, you communicate in NGA, MAX communities, or the HLTV post-match comment section. Who has the time to go to the 5E APP to discuss tournaments? It's completely unnecessary.
"Then do you have any good suggestions?"
He came to interview with a mission, wanting to solve the problem of low traffic on the 5E APP through professional players.
He had previously interviewed device and 100T's Harry Potter, but the suggestions given were not very good.
Today, he was asking as usual.
Xu Beifang touched his chin. The idea of the 5E platform wanting to capture the post-match traffic was very good.
He was also quite optimistic about it. After all, if they did the post-match stuff well, he wouldn't have to run around to different software to eat melons; he could just concentrate it all in one place.
"I do have an idea, it just depends on whether you dare to do it." Xu Beifang answered with a smile.
"You can elaborate."
Xu Beifang stated his idea: "Since you want everyone to come over and discuss after the match and want netizens to participate, why not just open a player rating section? For example, in today's match, after we finish playing FaZe, netizens can rate the performance of each player and also provide specific evaluations."
"Wouldn't this maximize interactivity?"
This idea was also one that already existed in the community.
After every match, 【How to evaluate xxx's performance in a certain match】 would appear in the community. Now, instead of letting one person evaluate, let everyone participate in this evaluation; wouldn't that maximize interactivity?
【Sigh! I feel like it's actually quite interesting】
【Wow, this is directly sharp-commenting on players on the website after the match】
【It is indeed quite interesting. If danking performs poorly, I'll give him a 0 directly】
【I hope 5E can develop this feature, then I can give Beifang a 5.20 rating. I really love Beifang too much】
【Against the heavens, I hope to give advent a 2.59, letting him live up to his name】
【Please don't let danking's rating exceed his height】
It was just an idea, and the audience in the live stream room was already discussing it.
Xu Beifang didn't care much. After answering this interview, he returned to the lounge and started preparing for today's match.
"Compared to Astralis, maybe I'd rather face Vitality." NiKo raised his eyebrows. "Actually, I don't really care who I face. There's not much pressure playing against Vitality."
"We have defeated Vitality before, and now that we are in hot form, I feel we can stage an exciting confrontation."
"I can only fiercely blast Nice now!"
In front of the battle room, NiKo accepted the pre-match provocation from the 5E reporter.
NiKo's trash talk wasn't very aggressive, but it was highly targeted, and the director even proactively gave a shot of Xu Beifang.
"Are you sure you don't want to say anything?" Jacky was also on the side, fanning the flames and eating melons.
Xu Beifang shrugged: "What's there to say? Let's just play slowly in the match later."
The match quickly entered the BP stage.
The coach returned with disappointment again.
"Today, the coin toss wasn't very good. If it were rock-paper-scissors, I would have definitely won." XTQZZZ said quite stubbornly.
While speaking, FaZe directly banned Inferno.
Vitality's Inferno prowess is a bit too terrifying; they really don't dare to let it out casually.
Although they knew that Vitality's Inferno winning streak would definitely be broken one day, it wouldn't be broken by them at this stage.
So Inferno absolutely cannot be let out.
It was Vitality's turn. After consideration, they first removed Train.
Although they had practiced it quite well before, compared to real strong teams, it was still too strenuous to pull out this map.
They still need to practice and play more later.
It was FaZe's turn to pick, and they directly locked in Nuke.
"Map 1 pick Nuke?" apEX frowned. FaZe's choice exceeded their expectations. After all, according to their assumptions, FaZe's first pick would most likely be Mirage.
But facing their sudden pull-out of Nuke, it's hard not to worry if there's something dirty.
"Let's stick to our own ideas and play Vertigo for Map 2."
When they practiced Vertigo before, they asked FaZe to be their sparring partner.
FaZe was also prepared to practice this map at the beginning, but perhaps due to incompatibility, FaZe just couldn't beat them on this map.
This might also have something to do with the players' styles.
As star players, NiKo plays too straight on A Short and A Long, while Xu Beifang is slightly more slippery, and the overall suppression force displayed is completely different.
So they are still very confident on this map.
Immediately after, both sides banned one map each, leaving Dust II as Map 3.
The BP officially ended, and both sides seized the final preparation time to get ready for the match.
On the opponent's map pick, Vitality was naturally the defensive side to start.
Xu Beifang also focused his attention on the match.
In the pistol round, FaZe played a round of map control, probing B Tunnel in the early stage, and then turned back to execute an explosive A-site take.
In the exchange of numbers, Coldzera used his calm aim to break the deadlock for the team, helping FaZe win the pistol round.
However, Vitality followed up with a force buy in the second round. Xu Beifang and Zywoo each got two kills with Desert Eagles, immediately returning the favor to win back a point and regain the rhythm.
FaZe chose to ECO, Vitality pushed the score to 2:1, and the match quickly entered the long gun round confrontation.
After several contacts in the long gun rounds, Xu Beifang finally confirmed that FaZe chose this map today with preparation, a big killer move they had prepared.
With long guns, FaZe began to continuously execute explosive attacks, with various formulaic tactics emerging one after another, making them a bit overwhelmed.
And these tactics all had a strong purpose—to avoid Outside and Main Entrance.
FaZe was using their tactical means to make Xu Beifang unable to perform.
But Xu Beifang wasn't that easy to be targeted. After noticing FaZe's intentions, he immediately adjusted and played more proactively.
Plus shox's form was good, and the two of them withstood the pressure. Finally, after the first half ended, the score was thrillingly fixed at 9:6.
This score wasn't passing, but it still gave Vitality room to operate.
The early game of the second half was actually okay. Entering the long gun rounds, relying on Shushu's performance, they went on a crazy scoring spree, directly tying the score.
But in the most critical few rounds, the newcomer Broky stood up and reversed the situation.
In the end, it was a great pity that on this opponent's map pick, Vitality finally lost with a score of 12:16.
Inside the Vitality training room.
Xu Beifang proactively bumped fists with his teammates beside him.
"It's a pity, a few rounds were indeed not played well. FaZe played this Nuke really well, and NiKo and Coldzera's form was always online."
"But next is our map pick. It's been a while since we were taken down on Map 1 by an opponent, it feels quite special."
"But we can't afford to lose anymore. If we lose again, we'll go to the lower bracket, and that feeling definitely won't be good."
"So brothers, adjust yourselves and let FaZe see our preparation on Vertigo!"
apEX also smiled and comforted, "It's just as Beifang said, we just lost one map, just find a way to win it back later."
"And FaZe, everyone knows, they are old Map 1 entertainers."
Speaking of this, they also laughed in low voices.
But after laughing, they all started to seriously discuss the tactics for Map 2.
Just as Beifang said, in the BO3 confrontation, they had already been reached at match point, and there was no room for error anymore.
After a short halftime break, both sides entered the Vertigo confrontation amidst the sound of keyboard tapping.
But surprisingly, perhaps feeling that this map leans towards the offensive side, FaZe proactively chose the offensive side.
"Okay, the pistol round for Map 2 has ended, FaZe won another pistol round?"
In the 6657 live stream room, Wanjiqi made a somewhat surprised sound.
After all, adding this pistol round on Map 2, Vitality had already lost three pistol rounds.
Vitality's pistol round win rate has actually always been quite good, and this situation is relatively rare for them.
【6657 didn't have a pistol round again】
【Too reasonable】
【FaZe's explosive attacks today are indeed beautiful; there was no chance for contact in the first wave of several pistol rounds】
【All headshot by NiKo】
Glancing at the discussion in the bullet screen, Wanjiqi continued to focus his attention on the match.
"Let's see what happens in this round?"
"Vitality directly equipped five Desert Eagles, plus a few smoke grenades and HE grenades." Wanjiqi pondered for a moment and figured it out, "They should want to use HE grenades to bleed them, and then use Desert Eagles to trade kills."
"If FaZe chooses to speed up directly, these HE grenades can also be used to bomb the bomb planter, which can delay the opponent's offensive rhythm."
Wanjiqi gave an evaluation: "A very good force buy idea."
The idea is good, now it depends on how they operate.
The second round began. Xu Beifang, equipped with full armor and a Desert Eagle, walked directly towards the A Slope direction.
apEX helped him throw a smoke grenade under A Slope from the T spawn, blocking the terrorists' vision information in the first instance.
After Xu Beifang arrived at A Long, he turned his head first.
"Boom—"
The sound of a flashbang came.
After turning his back to the flashbang, he immediately turned his head and set his aim.
He didn't find the opponent's speed-up figure or footsteps, so he peeked with a small body and started pre-aiming bit by bit.
Below A Slope, there was the sound of AK47 bullet spraying.
This gave Xu Beifang a piece of information—FaZe didn't intend to speed up but was conducting a slow-paced default.
This thought made him breathe a sigh of relief.
In this round, all of them were Desert Eagles. If FaZe really sped up and hit B site, unless Jacky and shox's gunplay performed, it would be quite difficult to handle.
Although they had HE grenades in their hands, they didn't have many utility items and firearms, and the difficulty of retaking was still very high.
"I feel like FaZe should want to slowly touch A Slope. We don't need to be anxious; we can try to counter-flash in the second instance."
Although he could roughly guess the opponent's thoughts, Xu Beifang still swayed in front of the smoke, ensuring that the opponent wouldn't rush through the smoke.
If it were purely based on feeling, in case a player suddenly felt they caught a 'great timing', then it would be a disaster.
"What's the situation at B site?" Xu Beifang wanted more information to confirm a thought.
"No movement yet." shox replied.
Xu Beifang immediately said: "Dou Dou, I have an idea. I think they are setting up smoke on the 50th floor. Let's throw a HE grenade at the near point first, then make a sound of running backwards, and then come back to counter-flash."
Xu Beifang considered himself to have a good understanding of NiKo; his command is quite single-celled.
So sometimes simple tricks can attract him.
This wave of his was also using a fake information process to strive for the timing of the counter-flash.
It just depends on whether it can succeed.
"Hiss..." apEX took a breath. This wave of Xu Beifang's gamble was a bit big. If he didn't guess right, then there might be no chance of a comeback in this round.
However, he still nodded and agreed. As the 'combat commander' in the team, Xu Beifang's sense of smell for firefights is too sharp.
"Try it. Zywoo, you just hide at A Short. When we act, you also proactively seize the opportunity." apEX added, and started to act with Xu Beifang.
The two of them, one after the other, threw two HE grenades directly into the unmanned area where they had already obtained information at the near point.
Immediately after, in order to make it look real, apEX even proactively walked silently for a wave, and only after two seconds did he let go of his footsteps and walk towards A Link.
It's just that the audience with God's perspective noticed that apEX had already grabbed a flashbang.
And there was a CT ready on the A Long side.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two HE grenades? The sound of retaking footsteps?
NiKo quickly processed the information in his mind: "The opponent has retaken towards the middle, there shouldn't be many people at A site now. Let's slowly advance to A Slope and just push up in one wave."
He was also glad that he didn't let the team press forward in the first wave, otherwise those two HE grenades would definitely be enough for him to drink a pot.
This wave, the opponent had already retaken and left, there weren't many people left at A site. They used the Mac-10 to push flat directly. As long as they could plant the bomb, this point would basically be won.
Relying on A Slope and A Short defense, the intensity is quite high.
As the A Slope smoke dissipated, the main force of FaZe under the 50th floor began to move up.
But suddenly, NiKo saw an arm exposed at the sandbag.
"Da da da!"
He immediately sprayed and fired at the sandbag, but immediately after, he heard a "bang" sound of a flashbang exploding, and his vision went completely white.
apEX's good flash successfully helped Xu Beifang flash two enemies white.
NiKo wanted to spray and suppress his position, but Xu Beifang peeked out, and with a Desert Eagle, he fired one shot at NiKo, who had white eyes.
"Bang!"
【Nice+apEX flashbang used Desert Eagle headshot kill NiKo】
After taking down NiKo at the far point, Xu Beifang swung over with another shot to hit the terrorist next to the yellow cloth.
The opponent was covering his eyes and kept twisting. Xu Beifang's first shot at the head didn't hit, so he simply switched to hitting the body, firing two shots at his chest.
【Nice+apEX flashbang used Desert Eagle headshot kill Broky】
Two kills had already been obtained, but the opponent's firearms were at a slight distance. Xu Beifang couldn't replenish his combat power, so he could only peek out again to find an angle.
The moment he swayed out, he happened to see a terrorist standing against the right wall, and his crosshair swung over with one shot.
"Bang!"
"This counter-flash was quite successful. Good flash with a good person. Nice used a Desert Eagle to take down two, and he even continued to brush outwards!"
"He took down Coldzera with one shot, but the big rain's rifle finally arrived late, ending Beifang's sinful life!"
"apEX also rushed over wanting to trade, but only fired one shot before being headshot by rain's AK. This wave, Hando was a bit anxious."
Wanjiqi took a breath: "Now only Zywoo is left at A site. This wave actually has room for operation. A 3-on-2 clutch, as long as the timing is good, there is room for performance."
"FaZe thought Vitality had all run away, but didn't expect all the previous actions to be hooks, just waiting for them to push this wave."
"Beizige is indeed worthy of being a star player. Give him a chance, and he can grasp it. Using a Desert Eagle to trade for three is already enough."
"Now it depends on Zywoo."
FaZe was a bit stunned by this sudden counter-flash. Fortunately, rain withstood the pressure, otherwise, this round would have been turned around directly.
NiKo felt it was better to be steady, let the remaining two turn back to counter-break the rear, and after confirming no one was in the rear, come to touch A again.
This style of play made Vitality a bit overwhelmed. They were worried that FaZe would rotate, wanted to proactively press out, but were afraid that FaZe was setting up somewhere waiting for them.
After all, there was one person's information that was unknown.
In desperation, they could only set up their aim on the spot and wait for the enemy to move.
"FaZe did the default for quite a while, but didn't have Vitality's information. They could only huddle together to touch A site. They intended to use fire to burn the sandbag first, but Zywoo happened to be hiding behind the sandbag. This wave is going to be over!"
"One fire down, Zywoo was forced to come out... Zywoo!!"
"He stepped on the fire and came out, Desert Eagle took down one, then took down another!!"
"Zywoo himself also fell on the fire, paying tribute to the last kill ID Olofmeister!!"
Wanjiqi instantly held his head and exclaimed: "Wow!! FaZe couldn't understand Zywoo's Desert Eagle at all. This wave, they directly burned out a daddy!"
"These twins' Desert Eagles are too damn outrageous. Beifang relied on one flash to use a Desert Eagle to headshot three, and Zywoo even stepped on the fire and could still hit two people on the opposite side. Brothers, look at Dou Dou, he's already hyped up!!"
When apEX didn't trade the kill, he was actually quite annoyed.
After all, if he hadn't died, the frontal pressure would be much smaller.
But looking at Zywoo's perspective, he used two bullets to directly blow up the two heads in front of him. apEX's suppressed emotions couldn't be held back anymore.
Losing Map 1 with regret and losing the pistol round on Map 2 made him feel very suppressed.
Now that the twins finally stood up, he stood up directly and shouted towards FaZe Clan's direction: "Bang bang bang!! NiKo!! How is our Desert Eagle play?"
Xu Beifang beside him also took a deep breath. This wave of Zywoo's consecutive kills was thrilling; it scared him to death.
"Shushu, your positioning is too exaggerated!" He shook his head and smiled, not sparing any praise for his teammate.
This wave of Zywoo was indeed critical. If Zywoo hadn't traded for effective kills, the difficulty of shox and Jacky's clutch would be very high.
Why Vertigo leans towards the offensive side is because retaking is hard to play.
Terrorists holding the slope and A Short can easily pull the CTs on the bomb site.
Fortunately, Zywoo withstood everything. These two bullets didn't give the opponent any room to operate at all.
Facing the praise from his teammate, Zywoo was very receptive and was also showing his facade as the world's No. 1 gum user.
Through the headphones, NiKo could hear apEX's loud voice.
He rolled his eyes quite speechlessly.
He had no choice in this wave; he was completely tricked by the opponent.
He only just realized the meaning of those two HE grenades, but it was already too late.
However, Xu Beifang is truly detailed. To prevent someone from back-flashing, he swayed out in advance, tricking his perspective. He couldn't do anything about this full white.
Xu Beifang could use one flashbang and rely on the Desert Eagle to take down three at light speed; he was also convinced.
But later, Zywoo was a bit outrageous, standing on the fire, and with two quick Desert Eagle shots, he headshot and killed two people.
NiKo was stunned at that moment.
Not brother, you're stepping on fire, aren't you nervous at all?
Are you treating us like bots? Two light-speed headshots with the Desert Eagle, you've got it all aimed.
NiKo was frantically complaining in his heart, but his complaints couldn't affect the situation.
After losing the pistol round and being force-bought and turned around, FaZe's economy was directly blown up.
They could only spend the remaining thousand-plus dollars to force buy.
But Vitality's default was very solid; no one proactively came out to be a special forces soldier, and his half-armor Desert Eagle didn't play a role.
Vitality successfully took this round, and the subsequent economic round was naturally no exception.
The score smoothly reached 3:1.
NiKo took a deep breath. The first critical round had officially arrived; they must get more points.
