Chapter 421: CF is 10 versions ahead
"NIKO's mentality is about to explode, he was brainstorming and playing a crazy game, and suddenly his foot slipped, committing such an inexcusable low-level mistake."
Wanjiqi briefly explained NIKO's mentality: "Although there was an accident in this round, NIKO really wanted to operate in the 1v2 post-plant; as long as he could kill Beifang frontally, he would still have a chance."
"But this wave was truly a bit abstract."
Listening to Wanjiqi's suppressed laughter, the live stream was also amused by this abstract program effect.
【I'm stunned, this is the first time I've known you can fall to your death indoors on Vertigo】
【Too humorous】
【Sure enough, NIKO is a boy who lost his footing】
【The genius who fell in the first chapter】
【NIKO likes Vertigo even less now, haha】
Vitality continued their winning streak, but because Broky and rain were constantly getting kills, their economy didn't really build up.
"Now let's see what FaZe can think of during this timeout."
The Vitality members were a bit surprised; could this accidental fall be intentional?
Taking advantage of the timeout, Wanjiqi summarized the offense and defense of both sides: "I have to say, Beifang is still quite flexible playing here at the Yellow Cloth. FaZe seemed to have taken A-Slope several times, wanting to execute a bomb attack, but they were always stepped on by Beifang, or disgusted by his utility."
shox suppressed the corner of his mouth: "You really understand NIKO."
Elevator + holding an Apple phone in his right hand + an indifferent expression.
He immediately explained to his teammates: "This wave was NIKO wanting to take a selfie in the elevator shaft, but the match doesn't allow phones, so he chose to let all the audience notice his operation."
……
At this time, Broky saw the public screen.
To keep his attention focused, he constantly swayed his body in place, preparing to stop or crouch at any time.
But in the current context, this mockery was truly heart-wrenching.
So this flashlight elevator selfie truly amused them.
【Beifang's expression amused me, he was still playing a game of wits, and NIKO played himself to death, haha】
Soon, the countdown ended, and the eleventh round officially began.
"There were several attempts to hit B-Site, and Zywoo's sniper rifle didn't give any chances at all; wherever he held, there were people, and FaZe didn't even have a chance to duel."
The young man was still suppressing his emotions, but Olofmeister and the group of old brothers didn't give any face, letting out ruthless mocking laughter.
NIKO's face turned even darker.
His Twitter had his own perfect selfie formula.
【Impersonating a professional player, pretending to play a post-plant】
Nice: NIKO don't be like this, Vitality can't afford you.
NIKO on camera rolled his eyes and cursed directly: "【Dirty words against the Vertigo creator】."
After the round ended, the director gave NIKO a death close-up, which was very heart-wrenching.
NIKO on the side turned his head and gave a death stare.
Xu Beifang waved his hand: "What do you guys know, NIKO did this on purpose."
This guy NIKO, besides liking to go to nightclubs to drink, also particularly likes to take selfies in various elevators.
Following the Terrorist's initial soul-stirring "Ah", he fell under the iron bridge and got a baby-like sleep.
Broky had already thought of the saddest things in his life, but the corners of his mouth were still harder to suppress than an AK.
Looking at Olofmeister's explanation on the public screen, the Vitality members were also amused.
Broky was a bit speechless; it had long been rumored in the circle that the Vitality club was poor, and with NIKO as one of the most powerful professional players, the price was indeed expensive, so Xu Beifang's words were perfectly fine.
"This Yellow Cloth watch is very comfortable, focusing on being an old slippery fox, the Galaxy Battleship can't touch his movements at all."
Although Wanjiqi knew that FaZe didn't play Vertigo well, being completely crushed in the first half was still beyond his expectations.
The score reached 9:1.
Then, suddenly, the surrounding scenery descended.
With laughter, they continued to focus their attention on the match.
As a result, NIKO suddenly fell to his death, which directly stunned him.
"How is NIKO's movement like s1mple's? You can fall down in that place?" apEX never expected this post-plant to have such an ending.
Facing Vitality's exaggerated 9-game winning streak, FaZe finally called a timeout belatedly.
It's just that perhaps affected by NIKO's slip, FaZe's subsequent offense didn't go well.
Broky on the side watched NIKO's whole process. Originally, seeing the confrontation between NIKO and Xu Beifang in the early and middle stages of the 50th floor, he was looking forward to a very bright duel-type post-plant.
NIKO on camera frowned, finely adjusting his crosshair, waiting for Xu Beifang to wide-peek.
FaZe's economy loss streak was maxed out, and they continued to force-buy next.
He also focused his eyes on the match and began to commentate:
"Okay, let's see how FaZe plans to break the situation... Hmm?"
"Broky and NIKO's movements, they seem to be preparing for a runboost!"
"This is preparing to use Vitality's tricks to beat Vitality, but NIKO's movement..."
Speaking of this, Wanjiqi controlled the corner of his mouth; he felt like he was participating in a 'Try Not To Laugh Challenge' today.
"Can this runboost succeed?"
After the words fell, he saw Broky and NIKO start to run, and then NIKO was launched near the railing.
Through the acceleration produced by the runboost, plus the turn NIKO completed in the air, he finally landed directly on the sandbags of the B-Stairs.
And in front of NIKO were Zywoo and shox, who had coordinated to hold B1 this round.
"Vitality never expected FaZe to use this trick. NIKO seized a remarkable opportunity, AK47 killed Zywoo first, and then spray-transferred to kill shox too!"
"This superVitality wave was a great success!!"
"NIKO directly accelerated, he already got two kills at the B-bomb site, he can charge recklessly at B-Site."
"JackZ immediately reinforced from Mid, he is standing on the jump platform holding the crossing point, can he beat NIKO this wave?"
"But NIKO didn't rush, he even waited for Broky's flashbang before peeking out."
"This wave belongs to a good flash with a good... Oh!!! How did Broky's flashbang blind NIKO completely! JackZ took NIKO without injury, but rain's trade was fast, not letting this utility cause a disaster."
"In this case, Beifang and his mouth can directly save their guns at A-Site."
"There really isn't much chance to retake this wave."
As a famous NiKo-hater, although he gritted his teeth watching NIKO perform, he also admitted that this sudden runboost to B2 was perfectly timed.
Although Broky's subsequent flashbang was a bit messy, it didn't affect the overall situation.
Falling early in the early stage, even if Xu Beifang's post-plant ability was strong, facing this kind of utility blocking the road and number disadvantage, they didn't have much room to operate.
It was better to save two long guns.
Xu Beifang didn't care, but in the next round, FaZe launched a fast attack at A-Site.
FaZe was pushing with a do-or-die approach this time, and the utility was thrown like it was free.
The confrontation at A-Site presented a rapid exchange of numbers.
In the end, coldzera won in the post-plant relying on the advantageous gun position, and the Galaxy Battleship got another point.
And Vitality's economy was a bit ominous.
Losing two rounds in a row, their economy could only allow them to barely play a full-buy round.
Facing FaZe's fierce attack at A-Site, apEX was still thinking, and there was no good way to break the situation.
After all, FaZe was playing in a completely gambling way, betting that their teammates could trade kills, using numbers to exchange for Xu Beifang and Zywoo, which was very disadvantageous.
And because the utility was spread too fully, Xu Beifang and Zywoo didn't have much room to perform.
"How about we gamble and defend A-Site heavily, and actively trade people in the early stage?" shox proposed his idea.
When the opponent's offensive rhythm is too strong, gambling is a very good solution.
Xu Beifang shook his head: "Not really, FaZe's utility was poured in like it was free at the first timing."
He roughly calculated that at the first timing, the Terrorists would throw two flashes at A-Slope, then a fire, and at the Yellow Cloth, they would throw the first Yellow Cloth smoke, and then a fire outside the Yellow Cloth to prevent him from stepping out.
FaZe's idea was very clear: use utility to exchange for control of A-Slope at the first timing.
If they used utility to force control, they would also face a lot of counter-pressure.
Mainly at A-Slope and Yellow Cloth, if you let the opponent reach the close point, the duel would be very uncomfortable, feeling like it was leaking everywhere and the opponent could trade at any time.
Xu Beifang thought for a while: "How about we use a big move, try to play a triple-boost trick at the second timing."
"Yellow Cloth triple-boost?" apEX raised his eyebrows, he was still a bit hesitant.
In such a large-score suppression game, he felt there was no need to release such a killer move.
Xu Beifang saw apEX's concerns and said directly: "Points in hand are points; if we keep this thing hidden, other teams will eventually research it."
It might not be other teams, but some players in the community love to research those strange positions and can always figure out the Yellow Cloth triple-boost trick.
"That's true, let's try to suppress FaZe in this first half." After apEX figured it out, he began to issue instructions: "You and Shushu go together to grab A-Slope, I'll throw the slope smoke at the start, then JackZ, keep your smoke, I'll let you throw a slope smoke at the second timing, so we can triple-boost."
"Frontally, Beifang, don't save your utility with Zywoo, throw it if you need to, as long as we send one person up, this wave is a profit."
After communicating the subsequent playstyle, the preparation time ended.
The thirteenth round officially began.
Xu Beifang rushed directly to the Yellow Cloth, while Zywoo walked toward A-Long Slope.
Both of their goals were clear: don't let the opponent have a chance to occupy A-Slope this wave.
So he directly threw a fire under the Yellow Cloth to prevent the opponent from stepping on it.
Zywoo threw a fire in front of the A-Slope smoke.
However, FaZe was very stubborn; just after Zywoo threw the fire, at the moment the opponent's second A-Slope flash popped, he saw a Terrorist stepping on the fire and rushing out.
Zywoo turned his back to the flash, then turned back and immediately sprayed at him.
【ZywOo killed rain with an M4A1 headshot】
"Rain was a bit too anxious, stepping on the fire wanting to come out and grab an opportunity, but Zywoo turned his back to both flashbangs, and rain helplessly gave up the first kill."
"Vitality's adjustment is still quite rapid; they just suffered from a speed boost, and immediately started throwing utility at the close point. This makes FaZe quite uncomfortable; giving up the first kill at the start makes the second-timing offense a bit uncomfortable."
After losing a person, FaZe chose to play default in place, dealing with changes with constancy.
The main thing was that they couldn't solve that A-Slope smoke and Yellow Cloth smoke, and now they could only wait for the time to dissipate.
Xu Beifang wasn't in a rush, waiting for the Terrorists' opening A-Short smoke to dissipate, then called his teammates over. apEX threw another smoke grenade under the Yellow Cloth, and the three of them gathered at A-Short to triple-boost.
"Three people at A-Short? Is this wanting to sell one and hide two?" Wanjiqi raised his eyebrows, "Wait, things seem a bit wrong!"
Wanjiqi watched Xu Beifang jump onto apEX's head, and then Zywoo used a skillful movement, a double-jump directly onto the Yellow Cloth iron frame.
His eyes widened instantly.
From Zywoo's perspective, this position was standing too high.
He could not only see the Terrorists at A-Short on the Yellow Cloth, but even the Terrorists at A-Long Slope; this positioning was really a bit exaggerated.
"What kind of positioning is this! Beifang, what did you research in private?" Wanjiqi said incredulously, "This is definitely a top-tier big move!"
【This wave is Beifang paying tribute to Olofmeister's triple-boost to his face, a bit exaggerated】
【Fast-forward to forbidden climbing】
【Using a triple-boost to play tricks in front of Olofmeister, this has a bit of an NTR flavor】
【Arch-dam brothers, tone it down】
【I can only say CF is ten years ahead of the version!】
【How many more big moves does Beifang have that we don't know about?】
The viewers watching the live stream were quite pleasantly surprised; for most viewers who love watching matches, besides wonderful tactics and fierce duels, the rest are these abstract positions that give them the motivation to continue watching.
These strange techniques all let them see the tactical depth of a map.
It always makes people's eyes light up.
Coupled with the fact that Olofmeister's triple-boost meme is too famous in the GO circle, this wave was also a bit funny.
"However, FaZe doesn't seem to intend to attack A-Site this round, but is actively probing other areas; this big move might fail." Wanjiqi's voice was a bit regretful, but he felt it should be so.
After all, Vitality's triple-boost looks exaggerated, but it's not as outrageous as FNC's triple-boost on Overpass. The opponent suffered at A-Site, so actively probing other areas at this time is normal.
After Vitality finished the triple-boost, apEX began to silently reinforce to Mid.
Xu Beifang stayed at A-Short, and after consideration, he said to Zywoo: "I'll touch under A-Slope to see what the situation is below."
According to common sense, after gaining a number advantage, they don't need to be in a rush.
But Xu Beifang believed that since they had already gained a number advantage, they could go and expand it.
This round had Zywoo covering in this top-tier position, even if he didn't trade for anyone, Zywoo would still be there to cover for him.
So he acted more boldly.
The A-Slope smoke had dissipated for a few seconds; because their movements were relatively fast, apEX didn't let JackZ throw an A-Slope smoke.
Xu Beifang pre-aimed and crept down bit by bit from the Yellow Cloth smoke.
When he touched the bottom corner, the Yellow Cloth smoke just happened to dissipate.
He immediately saw a Terrorist silently creeping toward A-Slope.
Xu Beifang sprayed at him.
"Da-da-da!"
【Nice killed Broky with an M4A1 headshot】
After killing Broky, Xu Beifang immediately pulled back a position and held under A-Slope.
But the person under A-Slope who just made footstep sounds didn't actively peek him.
Xu Beifang got a kill and further expanded the number advantage, playing more confidently here.
So after jiggle-peeking twice, he directly wide-peeked.
coldzera, who was holding the angle under A-Slope, felt like he was being hit by a mud truck, and was instantly knocked away.
【Nice killed coldzera with an M4A1 headshot】
"No one under A-Slope!" Xu Beifang got the information and just wanted to remind his teammates to be careful of Mid, when he heard gunfire from Mid, and three kill messages floated across the top right corner.
【JackZ killed NIKO with an M4A1 headshot】
【olofmeister killed JackZ with an AK47 headshot】
【apEX killed olofmeister with an M4A1】
"Good shot!!" Xu Beifang praised loudly.
FaZe's mid-game push from Mid and under A-Slope was broken one by one, and everyone was instantly taken down.
This kind of round was played quite comfortably; everyone got some kills, and they easily won the round.
Only Zywoo chuckled and said: "We spent half the time triple-boosting there, and you guys killed everyone."
"It seems our triple-boost didn't play a role."
apEX said: "Doesn't matter, we won the previous round anyway, it was just to break the situation."
"However, we seem to be able to use it again this round, the opponent didn't see it last round, right?" he asked Zywoo.
Zywoo shook his head: "Everyone was killed by Beifang below, I didn't even see a shadow."
apEX said: "Then we'll do another triple-boost this round. This round is a key round for FaZe. If we can win it, there are only 3 rounds left, and FaZe won't have much room to operate in the second half."
After saying that, everyone walked to their respective areas.
Xu Beifang calculated that FaZe's economy this round wasn't very good, so they wouldn't have much utility to control the map.
Their early map control plan was relatively easy.
So at the second timing, they continued to perform a Yellow Cloth triple-boost.
Wanjiqi saw this scene, and a smile appeared on his face: "The Yellow Cloth triple-boost is back!"
"This time Beifang went up, and because Beifang pressed forward below last round, this time Vitality's other two people directly reinforced to Mid, leaving Beifang alone on the Yellow Cloth."
He quickly analyzed: "Although they did a triple-boost last round, FaZe completely didn't know this information, so if FaZe wants to hit A this round, they might still suffer."
"And did you notice a detail? Beifang threw the AK he picked up to Zywoo, and now he has an M4A1 in his hand, which is a silenced weapon!"
"This position is honestly really top-tier."
Because CSGO's vision is seen from the character's right eye, when pushing from below to above, the vision is blocked by the cover above the head.
And Xu Beifang sees them, seeing their feet first!
"NIKO threw an A-Short fire, then stepped into the Yellow Cloth, but he didn't know there was someone standing on his head!"
"Beifang sprayed a burst, easily killing NIKO!"
NIKO died suddenly, and with the gunfire near the Yellow Cloth, Broky next to NIKO immediately pre-fired to trade, but he peeked over and didn't see anyone at all.
"Where did that come from?" he asked NIKO in confusion.
But NIKO was also confused at the moment.
The next second, this confusion was passed to Broky, because bullets that seemed to come from the void killed him too.
【Nice killed Broky with an M4A1】
"This position is too abnormal, FaZe completely didn't know Beizige was standing on their head. Damn, Beifang can even move in this position, he directly got vision of A-Long Slope and sprayed rain down too!"
In the last second before rain was killed, he finally judged Xu Beifang's approximate position through the gunfire.
The moment he saw Xu Beifang in his death vision, rain shouted "WTF" directly.
"No, you can stand in this position too?" he looked at his teammates in confusion.
Olofmeister immediately asked: "Where is he?"
Now the bomb was dropped at A-Slope, and he and coldzera were lurking, so they had to come over to find an opportunity.
Rain thought about how to describe it: "Right on top of the Yellow Cloth, like standing in the air, maybe he used a triple-boost or something to get up."
"But I don't know now."
After all, Xu Beifang had already killed three, so changing positions was normal.
Olofmeister and coldzera's hearts sank; three people died suddenly this wave, and it would be very difficult for them to handle it later.
The opponent added an A-Slope smoke, and they quietly waited for the smoke grenade to dissipate before probing again.
But they never expected that Xu Beifang hadn't left at all.
Because this position is an extremely advantageous gun position, he can see their legs first.
coldzera pushed up bit by bit from the Yellow Cloth and was directly killed by Xu Beifang in a burst.
"Creeping over from the Yellow Cloth, you can't win in this position no matter how you play, because Beifang is always pre-firing, unless his gunplay makes a mistake."
"Beifang is already hyped up, sprayed coldzera down, directly peeked to the right at the Slope, Olofmeister was holding this position, but he couldn't beat Beifang either!"
Wanjiqi said excitedly: "I really didn't expect that Vertigo has been out for so long, and it can still play new tricks, this is really top-tier."
"This is the charm of our Xijiang University student, he always makes the match have some surprises."
"Now relying on a top-tier triple-boost, he got a five-kill. FaZe's loss-streak economy isn't much, they can only be forced to force-buy, but can it really have an effect?"
As Wanjiqi expected, this force-buy didn't have a very good effect.
FaZe was completely stunned this wave, and didn't even have a chance to duel in the previous round.
Coupled with the poor economy in the final round of the first half, after the first half ended, the score was fixed at 12:3.
The score gap was a bit large, and the 6657 live stream began to play the meme 【Is 3 points enough】.
Many players believed that FaZe had already lost the trend on this map.
After a short timeout, the two sides swapped sides, and in the second-half pistol round, Vitality chose to directly execute a fast bomb push at A-Site.
Xu Beifang and Zywoo each got two kills, plus shox's one kill, easily winning the pistol round.
But at this time, FaZe chose to force-buy to the end. Facing Vitality's second-timing speed boost to B-Site, Broky stood up, used a Desert Eagle to hard-carry a triple-kill, and cooperated with his teammates to complete the comeback.
The Vitality members could only complain 【Desert Eagle Squad】.
This point seemed to inject a shot of adrenaline into FaZe, and FaZe stubbornly chased back 6 rounds with a big winning streak.
But following Xu Beifang's flat-push-like triple-kill at A-Site, the breath FaZe was holding dissipated, and the subsequent rounds were flat-pushed by Vitality.
In the end, on their own map pick, Vitality defeated FaZe with a score of 16:9.
…… ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
End of Chapter
