Chapter 436: I don't even need to open it

In Xu Beifang's view, there are only three CSGO coaches in the world who can be called outstanding; one is standing behind him, and this guy behind him can do a very good job of adjusting the players before the match.

And the one opposite the stage is the coach with the most powerful comprehensive ability, none other.

The timing and application of the timeout are also second to none.

zonic's timeout timing was very clever, and they also successfully found a solution after the timeout and started scoring again.

However, the double five-kill by Xu Beifang and ZywOo still played a not-insignificant role in the match; at the very least, they weren't under that much pressure frontally.

It was just a pity that facing Astralis's very rational playstyle, they were also very headache-inducing.

This state of being able to withstand pressure even when the opponent's morale was high made people wonder if Astralis were robots, why their mentality was completely without fluctuation.

Finally, the first half ended, and the score was fixed at 8:7.

They had a small advantage of one round on the offensive side.

"At least there is an advantage of one point." XTQZZZ was still quite optimistic.

In fact, in the first half's offense, they didn't make any big mistakes; it was actually because Astralis's state was good, and the overall intensity of this confrontation had come up, which made it seem so difficult.

Xu Beifang also teased: "It's been a long time since I felt this kind of pressure match; don't say, it's really quite interesting to play."

If they could end the game with a flat push, they could enjoy the pleasure of crushing the opponent with aiming.

But if the opponent also kept making moves to respond, then they could enjoy the most essential happiness that competition brought them.

Xu Beifang felt that this first half was quite hyped.

He felt this way, and the emotions in the venue were equally impassioned.

The scene of both sides confronting each other passionately also ignited the emotions of the players.

The threshold for watching CSGO is not high; even people who haven't played the game can easily distinguish the appearance of the offensive and defensive sides, and can know the simple mode of planting bombs and killing people.

They can all understand the simplest aiming and killing.

And today's match was more than just the simplest aiming and killing; Astralis was using the entire formation to pull and create benefits.

Vitality here had everyone working hard to pave the way for the Twin Stars, using resources to raise them to operate, and while the Twin Stars ate resources, they could really give you high-light scenes.

Just after one half, quite a few audience members at the venue already felt their throats were a bit dry, because they shouted too crazily.

So they hurriedly took advantage of the half-time break to drink some water, preparing to start "slaughtering all sides" after changing sides!

The short half-time break ended, and both sides swapped camps to enter the second half pistol round.

Vitality came to the defensive side.

"Astralis likes to play tactics on the offensive side, so let's just start with a standard 2-1-2." apEX gave the positioning distribution for the pistol round.

A very regular choice.

Xu Beifang's position was good, and after the countdown ended, he walked directly into the VIP.

On the choice of positions for the defensive side on this map, he and ZywOo were relatively overlapping, and the specific positions of the two people depended more on the spawn points to choose.

He was relatively close to the VIP in this point, so he took the initiative to grab it.

After Xu Beifang entered the VIP, he didn't stand on the right side of the VIP, but instead came directly to the left side, using the USP to hold the Mid-Long.

While holding the gun, his crosshair was still constantly adjusting, because he was worried that Astralis might run-boost out at the start; if that were the case, he would have a chance to kill the person who run-boosted out in seconds.

"The second half begins, Vitality's positioning is the 2-1-2 basic positioning; this is the positioning with the highest fault tolerance, able to best deal with emergencies."

"Let's look at Astralis's configuration; only gla1ve is equipped with a smoke and a flash, and everyone else is half-armor Glock." Ma Xixi suddenly noticed a detail, "Wait, device has a P250 in his hand, gathering at B2 at the start, is this preparing for a speed-up to B?"

"device with the P250 takes the initiative to rub forward again; shox jumps and hits at the White Car to discover; then this wave is preparing to play whack-a-mole, but the P250 only has one chance to shoot; can device grasp it?"

Jumping to scout at the White Car is a scouting playstyle with extremely high fault tolerance; even if a sniper rifle is used to hold it, it is very difficult to kill. So he really doubted whether the P250 could play a role.

shox cut the knife and jumped to scout at the White Car at a certain frequency; as long as he got information, he would immediately throw a smoke beside him, and then mix beside the smoke grenade; it seemed that going to the periphery was also a good choice.

He was thinking about the subsequent action route in his mind, and the moment he jumped up, he saw enemies appearing inside B2.

"There is someone in B2!" shox shouted quickly in the voice chat.

But before he could finish shouting, a "bang" sound rang out, and the tooth-aching headshot sound rang out.

【device used P250 to headshot kill shox】

The venue was filled with exclamations!

Everyone didn't expect that this shot from device could really hit!

Wanjiqi shouted excitedly: "Oh!! device is truly worthy of being the human limit; he directly air-shot shox with the P250 at the start; this can also hit?"

"Now shox was air-shot and killed; the originally solid formation in the B area was immediately leaking everywhere, and Astralis must also understand that you are jumping to scout at the White Car, so the other person must be on the periphery or B Small!"

With the appearance of the first kill of the round, Astralis immediately seized the time to unfold the attack, and the offensive momentum in the B area was vast and mighty.

apEX was alone behind the B Small Archway; he thought about using the USP to grab the timing to kill a few, but Astralis didn't give him any chance at all; after the first wave of exchange of fire didn't produce a kill, Magisk directly rushed to his face and killed him.

The B area lost two people within a few seconds; Xu Beifang's reinforcement speed was already very fast, and he reinforced in the first time shox was killed.

But the Supermarket window was blurred by a smoke grenade, and there was no room for him to operate at all.

He could only quickly come to the Supermarket entrance, waiting for his teammates to reinforce and get into position.

ZywOo had been staying at the Archway before, so he also arrived one step later; only JackZ's reinforcement at the police side needed some time.

It's just that this reinforcement is not easy to play... Xu Beifang took a deep breath; next, it could only depend on whether Astralis gave Vitality a chance.

"Thanks to device's air-shot, Astralis instantly occupied the B area; this air-shot of his is too top-tier!"

"It is indeed like this." Ma Xixi nodded, "This wave of exchange of fire in the B area was too fast, completely not giving the brothers in the A area time to reinforce; now it's a 3-on-5 reinforcement clutch, and Vitality is all walking through the Supermarket, completely without other angles to unfold, then this clutch is basically gone."

Ma Xixi once again made a professional judgment based on the perspective of a professional commentator.

Wanjiqi had been bringing the perspective of Astralis in this match; listening to Ma Xixi's words, he suddenly felt a big "danger" hanging over his heart.

5-on-3, there shouldn't be a problem, right.

Should...

Xu Beifang held the sofa at the Supermarket entrance, and then occasionally pulled an angle to the left to look at the outside of the White Car.

He didn't stay silent in the process of peeking, but took the initiative to release a footstep.

Although Astralis's discipline was maxed out, in the end, no one could hold back.

The sofa and the periphery of the bomb site directly pulled out together.

But the moment dupreeh peeked out from the periphery of the bomb site, he felt something was wrong, because he saw Xyp9x had already started a firefight with the Supermarket, and he couldn't see the enemies inside the Supermarket from this position at all.

This meant that the guy in the Supermarket had the intention to separate their positions.

He immediately shouted: "Don't duel! Don't duel!"

While speaking, he watched Xyp9x's head get blown up by a shot.

【Nice used USP to headshot kill Xyp9x】

"Good shot!" JackZ, who had just walked into the Supermarket, praised.

Xu Beifang immediately synchronized information for him: "I just killed one at the sofa, and then the bomb site, the periphery of the Supermarket, and B Small—this is confirmed; the information on the last person is not very certain."

ZywOo added: "B Small is also not certain; the information is too old."

The information source of B Small came from Magisk rushing to his face and killing apEX at B Small in the early stage, but now it had been a while, and they simply didn't know if Magisk had moved.

The 3-on-4 clutch seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

shox added: "Can play slowly; there are pliers at the position where I died."

"I'm holding the periphery; Shushu, you push forward and try, see if you can hook the guy on the periphery out." Xu Beifang said and directly jumped onto the Supermarket shelf.

Stepping on the shelf was mainly to avoid the headshot line.

In this level of pistol round game of wits, most of them were aiming at the head to fire, so avoiding the headshot line at the first timing gave more opportunities to fire.

ZywOo understood and immediately started to take action.

He took the initiative to release a footstep rushing forward from the Supermarket window, and the opponent really couldn't hold back.

The close point of the Supermarket entrance and the White Car side pulled out together.

Xu Beifang's attention was all on the far point, but noticing the enemy peeking out at the close point, his muzzle also instantly positioned and swung lightly.

"Puff!"

【Nice used USP to headshot kill gla1ve】

After killing gla1ve who took the initiative to peek at the close point, he immediately reset the crosshair again.

However, dupreeh's experience at the periphery of the bomb site was still seasoned; he peeked out synchronously in the first wave, didn't hit Xu Beifang with the first shot, and discovered that Xu Beifang was standing in such a desperate position, and gla1ve was killed again, so he didn't stubbornly continue to fight, immediately pulling back to the cover to save his life first.

"Don't peek! Don't give the opponent a chance!" dupreeh reminded in the voice chat.

Their move of pulling out synchronously was not wrong; at the very least, against ordinary first-tier teams, this way of playing was correct.

But the problem was that the opponent wasn't an ordinary first-tier player; Nice's level was too high, various techniques emerged one after another, and dueling with him was too uncomfortable.

The Supermarket window smoke hadn't dissipated yet, and there were more than 25 seconds left until the bomb exploded; now in the 2-on-2 clutch, they had to drag the time out.

Magisk moved to the wall on the right side of the Supermarket early, heard dupreeh's voice, and also calmed down.

Footsteps rang out at the Supermarket entrance; thanks to gla1ve contributing himself, his position was temporarily ignored, and coupled with the cover of the Supermarket window smoke, it could be said to be very mysterious.

Watching the fly head in front of him release his footsteps and take the initiative to look for people, Magisk quickly aimed at the opponent's skull and killed him with one shot.

【Magisk used USP to headshot kill ZywOo】

But he had just killed ZywOo, and saw a figure jump onto the trash can, turn his head and fire at him.

Magisk also didn't show any courtesy, holding the USP and frantically clicking.

But the posture of that fly in his field of vision was too agile; he was standing on such a small trash can, but constantly moving + crouching; he couldn't aim at the opponent's skull at all.

Just as he was preparing to change to hitting the body to fire, with a "puff" sound, the opponent's bullet hit his skull one step earlier.

"Magisk killed ZywOo secretly, but he didn't beat Beifang either; now Beifang's hand feel is hot!"

"The clutch has already reached 2-on-2, time is about 20 seconds; how to say this wave?"

The cheers at the venue were constant; Xu Beifang's operation in this wave didn't look bright at first glance; it was just his pure strength and pure accuracy.

But those players with a certain level could see how many techniques Xu Beifang had in this pistol round.

He utilized all the advantages he could utilize in the duel environment he was in.

He almost completely isolated the opponent's duel.

All the double-pulls on the opposite side were dismantled by him into 1-on-1 frontal duels.

Now 3-on-5 had become 2-on-2, and both Xu Beifang and JackZ's HP were relatively healthy, which made the audience float with imagination.

Could it be that this 3-on-5 could really be successful?

The moment Xu Beifang killed Magisk, he stood on the trash can and peeked at the periphery of the bomb site, wanting to deal with the most "oily" dupreeh.

But the moment he peeked, dupreeh pulled out in advance and fired a shot, then instantly pulled back.

Xu Beifang was still holding a hand in place, preparing to wait for dupreeh's possible repeek.

He noticed high concentration, because dupreeh might fire in advance in this wave, which would be very fast.

But just at this time, a bullet hit Xu Beifang from the side.

Xu Beifang's attention was originally highly concentrated, and the whole person was incomparably nervous and focused; suddenly, a bullet from nowhere hit him, directly giving him a fright.

But his brain didn't react, and his body had already manipulated the crosshair to swing over.

"Puff!"

【Nice used USP to headshot kill device】

"dupreeh is still hooking Xu Beifang, B Small's device seized his side and started outputting; the first headshot didn't hit, the second... ah!!!" Ma Xixi instantly opened his mouth wide, because he saw Zhao Gan abruptly cut the perspective to Xu Beifang, and watched Xu Beifang swing over with one shot, directly killing device at B Small.

The venue exploded at this moment; the speed and accuracy of this swing were too terrifying.

You know, device was at the far point of B Small; this kind of medium-distance duel required device to aim carefully.

But Xu Beifang swung over and it was one shot; what kind of ghost god-like nerve shot is this!

"Brothers, there is a lock-guy in the server!!"

After the USP headshot sound rang out, Xu Beifang reacted, and his whole body felt blood surging.

Outside the headphones were the passionate cheers of the audience, and inside the voice chat were the suppressed low shouts of his teammates; all this stimulated Xu Beifang's nerves.

He felt adrenaline soaring!

"Only the last one is left, he is at the periphery of the bomb site!" shox reminded quickly.

Xu Beifang heard this and shouted excitedly: "Go, let's rush him together!!"

JackZ followed closely behind Xu Beifang, mainly playing a group-hugging follow-up shot.

However, even when it reached this point, the details they should do were still in place.

dupreeh still wanted to circle around the bomb site, but Xu Beifang and JackZ's flanking made him have nowhere to escape.

Looking at the side exposed to him in front, Xu Beifang gave him one shot!

"Puff!"

【Nice used USP to headshot kill dupreeh】

The moment this kill was obtained, Xu Beifang was planting the bomb with his left hand, while his right arm rose along with the cheers of the venue.

apEX couldn't hold back long ago; he grabbed Xu Beifang's shoulder with his right hand and shouted the dolphin sound excitedly: "Baby, you are too great!!"

The other three people also fully played their role as an atmosphere group, cheering excitedly with the audience at the venue.

This five-kill by Xu Beifang in the pistol round was really exaggerated.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being their leading big brother!

Being able to be teammates with this kind of guy is really too satisfying!

"Vitality~! Vitality~!"

Listening to the Vitality song singing in his ears, Astralis chose to hang up at home for a pure ECO.

This was gla1ve's decision; after the pistol round failed, they prepared to transition quickly to the long gun round, and then bully Vitality in the long gun round with full armor and full grenades.

Hanging up at home in this point was mainly to let Vitality consume some utility.

However, while hanging up, they were also roasting the situation of the pistol round.

device had a bitter smile on his face: "That shot of his stunned me anyway; I only hit him with two bullets, and he turned his head and killed me in seconds!"

"Hey! That was the Supermarket entrance hitting B Small!"

At such a long distance, the opponent obviously swung over with one shot; being able to kill him in seconds, he could be considered convinced.

dupreeh didn't expect device to die like that, but he also said speechlessly: "That guy on the opposite side is really detail-maxed, avoiding the headshot line the whole time, and the position he stepped on was also able to separate us; I tried to come out to follow up several times, but I couldn't follow up even once; that guy's body control is too good."

Hearing this, device smiled helplessly: "The peak of technique and tactics, all details; this guy felt like a standard first-tier big brother a few months ago, but why is he so exaggerated now?"

A true master is someone whose every positioning and every choice can make you feel great pressure.

In this confrontation, Vitality's Twin Stars both gave them this feeling.

Every time they saw Nice, Nice would always stand in some unusual positions.

If they saw ZywOo, ZywOo would always appear in positions they felt shouldn't appear.

This feeling of being completely unable to figure out the opponent's whereabouts really made them unhappy.

Now they could only rely on the subsequent long gun rounds to try to take points.

But starting from this round, Nice seemed to have his hand feel completely hot.

He stably got 2-3 kills almost every round, always able to see this guy screen-clearing.

They also tried to unfold a frontal duel, but they just couldn't beat him in a frontal duel!

The only solution was to rely on people trading people to follow up.

A good competitive confrontation was played by them into a challenge mode.

Fortunately, dupreeh and device were also performing all along, so they weren't pulled away in score by Vitality.

Both sides kept pulling until 14:11.

Astralis finally seized the opportunity to collapse Vitality's economy.

gla1ve now hoped that apEX would get hot-headed and duel them.

Only then would they have a chance, relying on the economic advantage and this wave of rhythm, to directly push Vitality flat.

"Just let this one go, everyone save money for the next one." apEX gave the instruction calmly.

Although the team was at an advantage, this advantage wasn't very big, so there was no need to force buy to look for opportunities.

Waiting until they saved enough money to play the long gun round might have a better effect; after all, Beifang and ZywOo's hand feel was very good today, so there was no need to play any force buy, just save money and crush them with the general trend.

He thought for a while, then said: "Later, our main force will directly stand around the VIP; trade one for one if we can; see which side Astralis controls the map toward, and we will reinforce instantly."

Hearing this, everyone also jumped and jumped toward the A point.

Xu Beifang's economy wasn't very good, so he also directly took his USP to continue playing.

"Vitality directly ECOed; Astralis is still quite cautious, still honestly controlling the map in Mid."

"The early default is in place without giving you any opportunity, and then slowly advancing from the Archway at the second timing, 4-Archway pinch A tactic, the train of thought is very good, but Vitality put a full three people in Jungle and Jump Platform, and one person is standing at the police side; this wave can really target the Archway."

"How to say this wave?"

"Jungle smoke is given directly, isolating the information of your Jungle, and then Magisk directly comes up to charge and kill the Jump Platform in seconds, and ZywOo at the police side stepped on the telephone booth to kill gla1ve; but gla1ve's follow-up shot is fast."

"apEX and JackZ are shooting and pointing at the Jungle through the smoke, but can you shoot through the Dane?"

"gla1ve and Xyp9x shot and killed people in one wave!"

Wanjiqi said plainly: "Now the main force has all been killed, and only Beifang is left with a USP to operate this 1-on-4."

The opponent's offensive intention had been clear, a wave of Archway pinch A.

Coupled with that Jungle smoke flying from the T spawn, Xu Beifang judged that the opponent was playing a 4-Archway-1-A-1 playstyle.

So he chose to pinch the soft persimmon, looking for this lone bandit.

There was no psychological burden in the ECO round; trading one could already be considered a huge profit.

So Xu Beifang strove to just trade one.

He seized the time to touch into A1 while the Archway was exchanging fire.

This time he stood in a relatively desperate position, holding A1 directly.

Originally he intended to use a desperate position to duel, but he didn't expect that the bandit walking A1 would directly give him a wave of surface-level point-searching + rushing up with a knife.

Is this Astralis's point-searching?

Xu Beifang immediately returned the favor, using the USP to click two shots at his head.

【Nice used USP to headshot kill dupreeh】

Alright, being able to trade one was already a huge profit.

But Xu Beifang also discovered an unexpected joy.

This guy walking alone in A1 was carrying the bomb!

However, the opponent's reaction was also very fast, and immediately someone stepped on the Jump Platform and fired at him.

Xu Beifang hurriedly jumped behind the A1 cover.

"dupreeh still thought A1 was safe, directly cut the knife and rushed up and was headshot by Beifang with two shots!"

"Astralis finally discovered that something was wrong, and the main force immediately rushed toward A1; dupreeh died, the bomb dropped in A1, it seems the situation suddenly became wrong." Wanjiqi said quickly.

"The problem now is that Beifang accidentally knocked the AK away, the opponent's footsteps are approaching, just picked up the gun, Astralis is already on his face, he has no time to switch guns, can only use USP to operate; can he trade one more?"

Xu Beifang also heard the approaching footsteps of the opponent; he knew he couldn't shrink in this place, after all, the position had been locked by the opponent.

He had to break out of the encirclement.

However, precisely because it was an ECO round, he didn't have any psychological burden.

After thinking it through, he started to take action directly.

Peek to the right to scout, and then instantly fired at the bandit at the close point when shrinking back.

"Bang!"

The sound of the USP hitting the bulletproof helmet was incomparably crisp.

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows and peeked to the right again.

"Bang!"

【Nice used USP to headshot kill gla1ve】

After killing gla1ve, Xu Beifang also got fired up; he peeked out again.

device saw gla1ve killed, still thinking Xu Beifang would stabilize first, and wanted to take the initiative to push forward to compress Xu Beifang's space, but didn't expect Xu Beifang to repeek.

Could only duel in place again.

But Xu Beifang's positioning ability was really a bit terrifying.

device only heard a "bang", and then another bullet hit his body, directly taking him away.

"Astralis took the initiative to come to the door, but Beifang took the initiative to peek, USP two headshots directly killed gla1ve! device walked forward wanting to follow up, but Beifang pulled out and it was another two shots, oh!!! This Beifang's USP!!"

"This USP fired 6 bullets, he hit 6 headshots; brothers, there is someone practicing marksmanship in the server!!"

The abrupt exchange of fire in A1 was too fast; Wanjiqi finished commentating and suddenly discovered: "Brothers, the situation has reached 1-on-1, Beifang now has an AK in his hand, and the bomb is also beside him; could this wave really be turned around by him?"

The audience at the venue calmed down quickly after the exclamation.

Because they realized that a famous scene might be born next.

Xu Beifang's active peeking in this wave killed both people at the close point, and suddenly realized that the situation had become 1-on-1.

Could it be that there was a chance to turn this point around?

Xu Beifang had an idea instantly.

Two peeks allowed him to kill the people at the close point; he also got a piece of information—the last one, Magisk, was at the far point.

That is to say, next he only needed to win this 1-on-1 clutch.

This point had no armor, didn't know Magisk's HP, so using an AK was obviously more appropriate.

Only needing to click one headshot, he could kill him; using a USP would give the opponent a chance to fight back.

If the opponent was Magisk, Xu Beifang thought for a while and retreated silently.

He retreated directly to the A1 corner against the wall.

From the God's eye view, he completely gave up the bomb in this wave, just waiting for the opponent to come and search for his position.

"Magisk is touching A1 bit by bit; he knows Xu Beifang has no armor, so the headshot line is placed very low; as long as he can hit Xu Beifang with one shot, then Xu Beifang has no chance to fight back."

"However, touching all the way into A1, he didn't see Xu Beifang's figure; time is running out, at this time Magisk can only plant an A1 bomb." Ma Xixi analyzed, "Didn't see anyone in A1 before, Magisk now suspects whether Beifang is hiding on the A2 floor or the Archway."

"But he simply couldn't imagine that at this time, Beifang touched out from A1, right behind him!"

Xu Beifang touched out silently from A1, saw Magisk's back, and without mercy, gave him one shot directly.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill Magisk】

Wanjiqi on the commentary desk couldn't help but evaluate: "What is there to say about this wave? Pure personal ability performance; he used this USP to directly knock 6 headshots on the opposite side, directly turning the tables on Astralis!"

"Still have to be apEX's designated only big daddy!"

The venue was in a carnival, and the IEM official live stream room was also frantically spamming:

【Is this USP accuracy really true?】

【I report, someone came to the IEM final to practice marksmanship.】

【If this isn't a lock, what is?】

【dupreeh is carrying a big pot; this wave he is purely sick; how can there be no searching A1 and rushing out.】

【Didn't you notice, Astralis couldn't even hit him with a single shot.】

【I don't even need to open BUFF to know that Beifang's USP is going to rise in price tomorrow.】

【apEX directly offered a French military salute.】

【Astralis is all red; this wave is purely sick.】

【The opponent's red heat surpasses all praise.】
