Chapter 444: You use a burlap sack to carry HLTV trophies? (Main story ends)

rain walked out of the restroom, adjusting his clothes with some discomfort. Today was the HLTV annual awards ceremony, so they had dressed up in suits specifically for the occasion.

He was used to wearing his team jersey every day; wearing a suit for a change really made him feel a bit out of place.

He arrived beside his team and saw NIKO holding a stemmed glass, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"What's wrong? Why the long face?" the Rain God asked curiously.

NIKO took a sip of his drink, then spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "That guy stewie2K just greeted me."

"Oh, never mind then." The Rain God shrugged; a beautiful day ends the moment you see Banana.

But soon, he noticed a smile bloom on NIKO's face. He raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Beifang, over here!!"

NIKO's shout also drew the attention of many in the venue.

One by one, they looked in the direction NIKO was waving, and then noticed the current hotshot, Nice, walking toward them in a crisp, well-tailored suit.

"Holy crap, those muscles really make that suit look sharp."

"Truly a beast, both in and out of the game."

"Feels like this guy is going to take home quite a few awards today."

Seeing Xu Beifang, many people greeted him. Xu Beifang responded to each with a smile, then arrived beside the Faze members and teased: "This HLTV prestige is maxed out, they even invited you here."

NIKO said with a grin: "Of course, I've got a lot of face, don't I?"

Watching the change in NIKO's expression, the Rain God took a slice of orange from the side and tossed it into his mouth: "NIKO, you definitely have a secret crush on Nice."

Hearing this, NIKO didn't get angry; he leaned in with a smirk: "I can have a secret crush on you too."

The sound of his 'man-bitch' voice was too much to handle. The Rain God shuddered and pushed NIKO away with a look of disgust.

Similar situations were countless throughout the venue; everyone was looking for acquaintances in the circle to chat with.

Today is January 14, 2020, the day HLTV is hosting the awards ceremony.

In previous years, when the HLTV annual rankings were released, they used an online format, starting from the first day of the new year, releasing one player from the TOP 20 each day, until the final day when the HLTV TOP 1 was revealed.

But this year, HLTV wanted to give this honor more weight, so they held an offline awards ceremony, inviting many well-known tier-one players to attend in person.

And on this day, they would also announce the rankings of the final 6 TOP players.

Furthermore, they would announce the Coach of the Year, Sniper of the Year, Entry Fragger of the Year, Anchor of the Year, IGL of the Year, Lurker of the Year, Highlight of the Year, Team of the Year, and Player of the Year.

It made these honors more official and would certainly push netizens to have a clearer understanding of the players, which is a good thing for everyone in the circle.

So, most of the players who could make it came to attend.

And for the players, this was also like an annual grand gathering, where everyone chatted about the matches of the year and some interesting content.

As Xu Beifang was chatting with NIKO, he heard a familiar voice from behind: "Ho, I see you two mixing together every single time."

Xu Beifang turned around and bowed his head slightly: "Isn't this my Brother Li."

Karrigan bumped fists with Xu Beifang: "What Brother Li? With you as the TOP 1 here, who else can be called 'Brother'?"

He laughed, noticed NIKO beside them, and greeted him too: "Yo, isn't this this year's TOP 12?"

NIKO rolled his eyes. Seeing Karrigan's mischievous smile, he knew nothing good would come out of that foul mouth.

Thanks to Xu Beifang, this succubus, they often played on Faceit together, so their relationship was quite good, and they were very casual when joking around.

For others, the TOP 12 ranking would certainly be an honor.

But for this top-tier rifler who had reached TOP 2 shortly after his debut, it already carried a hint of criticism.

"You're targeting me, aren't you, kid." NIKO smiled, then sighed: "My form throughout 2019 was indeed quite torturous. The impact of switching to IGL was quite significant for me. Having this TOP 12 ranking... I suppose it's acceptable."

Reaching TOP 2 shortly after his debut, NIKO's ambition was actually very high; he had even thought about challenging for TOP 1.

But things didn't go as planned. The smoothness of his debut made his subsequent career path somewhat winding; perhaps this was the price to pay.

"It will get better later." Karrigan clinked glasses with NIKO: "I feel like you've already adapted to the IGL position; you're about to start exploding."

Hearing this, NIKO felt a bit worried. He deliberated for a long while: "There's no major problem with the lineup. Let that guy Broky accumulate some experience, and this lineup of ours can compete. It's just that I'm finding it a bit uncomfortable to play."

"In the future, I'll find an opportunity, perhaps I'll unload the burden of IGL."

Having said that, he glanced at Xu Beifang: "I'm even preparing to face off and blast this guy."

Xu Beifang raised an eyebrow, then raised his glass: "Then I'll just wait for it; I look forward to that day."

"Oh, by the way, if you guys know of any good lurkers who are thinking about transferring, let me know. That guy shox wants to transition from a professional life to a family life."

Hearing this, NIKO and Karrigan both widened their eyes, with a look that clearly said, "Is this something I'm allowed to hear?"

Xu Beifang, however, understood their thoughts: "As long as you don't put the news on the internet, it's fine. Otherwise, shox will be under a lot of pressure. Besides, we haven't found anyone yet."

NIKO teased at this moment: "How about I go? I'll go play lurker for you guys."

Xu Beifang waved his hand: "Forget it, your lurker style doesn't suit us."

NIKO had played lurker before, and his ability was indeed not bad.

But NIKO's lurker playstyle was relatively aggressive, which would lead to things being exceptionally smooth when they were going well, opening up the situation from both angles.

If things weren't going well, then every round would start with a disadvantage, which was hard to handle.

"Besides, you're very expensive; Vitality can't afford you either!"

NIKO was still the player with the highest transfer value in CSGO during the transfer period, having created a sky-high amount of 600,000 USD a few years ago.

And now it would only be more expensive. No matter how Xu Beifang looked at it, he didn't think his boss would be willing to spend a fortune to buy him, especially since Vitality was now the world number one, and there was absolutely no need to buy a superstar.

The few of them smiled knowingly. Xu Beifang had complained to them many times about Vitality's boss being stingy.

"What's your situation, Karrigan?" NIKO asked.

Karrigan shrugged: "The pain of a new team. I think Beifang knows too. We're still running around in various small tournaments. By next month, I reckon there will be a big tournament we can participate in."

"I'm already rubbing my hands in anticipation!"

In the early stages of a new team's creation, they all need to fight their way out of various open qualifiers and pre-qualifiers, and playing qualifiers against various tier-two teams is quite painful.

"It's alright, you can treat them as practice for the current stage, just right for your team to gel." Xu Beifang comforted: "Looking forward to OG's explosive debut!"

Just as they were chatting, they saw the crowd moving from the hall toward the center of the venue.

At this moment, they understood that the HLTV annual awards ceremony was about to begin.

The few of them followed the flow of people into the venue, then found a few seats to sit down. Immediately after, Xu Beifang saw a staff member come to his side and whisper a reminder: "Several players can sit in the front seats, as you might need to go on stage to receive awards later."

He was mainly talking about Xu Beifang.

NIKO and the others also realized this issue and didn't follow, but signaled for Xu Beifang to go.

Xu Beifang soon arrived at the front row of the venue. His teammates had also been invited to the first row. Sitting to his left was also an acquaintance.

He patted the shoulder of the Director: "How long did it take to do this hairstyle today? Looking sharp!"

"Sharp?" The Director raised his long, elegant eyebrows: "It only took 500 USD."

Xu Beifang rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I'd better tinker with it myself; 500 USD is enough to buy my life."

His hair was now medium-length. He had styled it in a 7-3 part, with bangs hanging loosely over his eyes, very much in the style of 'Hannibal'. He just lacked teaching the Director a lesson on 'how to be a person'.

"When I have time, I'll introduce you. I know a few barbershops with really good craftsmanship. By then, Nice, you might be able to lead the market trend in the circle." The Director said with a smile.

If it were recommended by someone else, Xu Beifang definitely wouldn't believe it, but a barbershop recommended by the Director!

"You must tell me."

The two were chatting aimlessly off-stage when they heard the host on the stage start speaking:

"2019 has officially passed. We have experienced a lot in the CSGO arena this year, and now we need to select the best members of last year!"

"First, let's look at the Coach of the Year!"

The host said, pointing to the big screen, where three IDs flashed in the center of the screen.

They were AdreN, zonic, and XTQZZZ, respectively.

Xu Beifang understood; these must be the three nominees.

Among them, the first to appear was the figure of Team Liquid entering the arena for a certain match, and then the camera gave a close-up of Liquid's coach, adreN.

As one of the strongest teams in the first half of the year, Liquid's coach adreN deserved much of the credit for those results.

Next was the footage of Team Astralis, followed by zonic, whose style was distinctly different from the others.

After all, looking at the entire circle, even including professional players, no one had a massive physique like zonic's.

Seeing this footage, people might first think he was a heavyweight boxer; it was hard to imagine him as a coach, a very 'wise' role.

Then, a big bald head appeared on the screen.

This made the style even more steady. In the official live broadcast room of the awards ceremony, many people were also playing the bald head meme.

"All three are outstanding coaches this year, but there is only one Coach of the Year. Who will it be?" The host built up some anticipation, and soon announced: "Let us congratulate XTQZZZ!"

Applause continued in the venue. XTQZZZ, not far to the right of Xu Beifang, also stood up to signal to everyone.

He high-fived the Vitality members one by one, then walked onto the stage.

XTQZZZ came to the center of the stage with a smile. Looking at his own players in the front row, he said with some emotion: "At the beginning of 2019, after I joined Vitality, my thought at the time was to build Vitality into a tier-one team and make myself a coach capable of standing firm in the tier-one scene."

"But unfortunately, these kids are too excellent. Nice, Zywoo, they are all among the most outstanding players, and they successfully let me see scenery that is hard to see. To be able to win this Coach of the Year award, I must thank my players, and also thank Nice for the too much help he gave me during my coaching period."

"I am really too lucky to have met him on the road to becoming a coach."

After saying this, XTQZZZ raised the trophy, signaled to the acquaintances off-stage, and walked off the stage.

It was actually not surprising that XTQZZZ could win this award. After all, a coach's ability is not usually reflected; it purely depends on honors.

In terms of honors, Vitality's offensive in the second half of 2019 was too fierce, winning streak after winning streak, which was quite exaggerated, so he was the more outstanding one in terms of results.

"If a coach is a team's reserve force, then a team's brain can make a team more coordinated and exert a stronger effect. The next award to be announced is the IGL of the Year. Let's look at the nominees for this year."

This time, 5 IDs appeared on the screen: gla1ve, Aleksib, apEX, Karrigan, nitr0.

The discussion in the official live broadcast room increased.

【Why did Karrigan appear again?】

【Karrigan also won a few championships with Mouz; he was actually quite outstanding this year.】

【I think it should still be gla1ve.】

【apEX has a higher possibility; I feel like Vitality will sweep these awards.】

【I nominate 259! This shitty wild list, they didn't even put my Jiuye in.】

【Then I nominate MO!】

The style of the barrage was quickly led astray.

However, the host didn't wait too long and soon announced: "apEX!"

Cheers erupted in the venue. Although this guy apEX is quite annoying on the field, he is still very charming off the field.

apEX walked onto the stage in a crisp suit, and then started a wave of formulaic thanks: "Thank you to my teammates, thank you to my family, thank you to the fans who support me."

"But to be honest, I personally think gla1ve could have won this IGL of the Year. In the confrontation with him, I learned a lot of things. gla1ve deserves more praise; I just happened to possess the strongest weapon!"

Having said that, there was a burst of laughter off-stage.

"Too foul."

"The 'strongest weapon' part is too much."

"I swear I also want to fuck apEX's ass hard with my boots; this is too uncomfortable."

"Exactly, we know he has the strongest weapon, but we just can't beat him."

apEX's wave of social maneuvering made the professional players on the scene very supportive.

Even gla1ve, not far away, had some smiles on his face.

apEX has the foundation in IGL; he is not on the same track as gla1ve at all. gla1ve's tactics are about controlling the players, while apEX's are about unleashing them.

So, comparing them feels different.

Xu Beifang, known as the "strongest weapon," gave apEX a big thumbs up, then watched apEX walk down.

However, apEX didn't successfully walk down, because the host handed him a note card.

Then apEX continued with a smile: "Next, let us announce the Anchor of the Year! I think I am the best anchor, but unfortunately, I am standing here."

apEX's words once again made the players smile knowingly. After all, everyone knows apEX's defense; he dies routinely.

If this is the best, others would have the heart to commit suicide.

"Then, let's see which players have received this nomination!"

The next second, 5 IDs appeared on the screen:

Nice, JKS, Flamie, Magisk, Twistzz.

These few IDs were quite surprising. Xu Beifang appearing in the anchor position was surprising enough, after all, he runs wildly on both sides of the map.

JKS's performance in the tier-one arena wasn't too bright, and Flamie was even more lackluster. Only Magisk and Twistzz could be considered players with good performance.

There was nothing to say about Xu Beifang; Xu Beifang even forgot which match this highlight was from.

Then JKS had a highlight of defending Train.

Then it came to Flamie. The moment everyone saw the Iron Plate, they understood.

Although Flamie's current state is indeed lackluster, when he reaches the Iron Plate position, he is a T0-level player; this is truly his specialty.

There was nothing much to say about Magisk and Twistzz; just being accurate is enough.

A gunner is just like that; as long as the marksmanship is online, everything is possible.

apEX smiled and announced the result: "Then let us invite my strongest weapon, Nice!"

Xu Beifang high-fived his teammates and quickly walked onto the stage, while apEX ran down as if escaping.

"Thank you for everyone's recognition. This is the result of my countless training sessions. Someone once asked me if there is any good secret to defense. My thought is to strive to get every kill and to win every duel as much as possible, that's enough. Thank you everyone!"

Xu Beifang wanted to run away after speaking, but the host quickly pulled him back, signaling him to continue with the next segment.

Good guy, you did all the work for me, and you're just slacking off on the side.

Xu Beifang complained in his heart, but still took the note card: "Next is the nomination for the Sniper of the Year that everyone is looking forward to. Even if I don't say much, everyone should have an idea in their hearts. Now let's see if the nominations are the same as what everyone thought."

The next second, the nominated IDs appeared on the screen. This time there were only three:

S1mple, ZywOo, device.

Very interesting nominations, because these three nominations are three different sniper styles.

For example, S1mple's aggressive sniper, Zywoo's awareness sniper, and device's holding sniper.

Every style has many, many people who like it, but S1mple's aggressive sniper definitely has the strongest watchability.

Xu Beifang originally thought this award would be given to Zywoo, after all, he was the one presenting the award, but he didn't expect that in the end, he called S1mple to the stage.

This is actually understandable; after all, Zywoo was a bit slacking in the first half of the year, and S1mple was indeed more outstanding in terms of data.

"S1mple! Congratulations!"

Because S1mple was too far away, he didn't come to participate in this event, but had filmed an award-receiving segment in advance, which was now playing on the big screen.

Xu Beifang also had time to sit back in his seat.

But he didn't expect that just as he sat down, the host started to announce the award for the Breakthrough of the Year.

What's even more outrageous is that after the host shouted, a few shouts of "Nice" rang out at the scene.

The host also heard it, and then he directly said with a smile: "Okay, it seems it's well-deserved. Nice, congratulations!"

In the Breakthrough of the Year category, no one could even compete with Xu Beifang. There was only one ID, Nice, in the nominations, which was quite terrifying.

In the barrage of the official live broadcast room, it was also frantically scrolling.

【This is the dominance of the world's number one entry!】

【Well-deserved.】

【No competitors.】

【After all, a gap-breaking entry.】

【This wave belongs to being so strong that there are no opponents.】

Xu Beifang hadn't even warmed his seat before walking onto the stage again. He leaned close to the microphone: "Thank you for everyone's love. First, I want to thank my teammates. After all, it is their support that allows me to break through without worries. And I am not the only excellent entry fragger. My data can be so beautiful mainly because I consumed a lot of resources. If there were no such accumulation of resources, I definitely wouldn't be so outstanding."

"I hope to compete with all the excellent entry fraggers again next year. Let's fight again next year!"

Xu Beifang's words drew cheers and responses from many people off-stage, and he was able to return off-stage again.

But just as he sat down, the host on the stage started to announce the 'Highlight of the Year'. This time there were a few nominations for the highlight.

This time there were a few wonderful scenes in the nominations.

The first scene was Train. The ID on the left showed device, who was holding a USP on the high slope.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood in their hearts, because this was truly a famous scene.

device used a USP to take down three members of NRG with three bullets when all his teammates were dead, which was very stunning.

Then the second nomination was S1mple's four-kill in a match against ENCE on Inferno, which was also a clutch that made people extremely nervous.

But when Xu Beifang gave a dilemma fire from B-Tunnel to behind him, the gold content of all the previous clutches disappeared.

Because they all understood that this was a 1V5 clutch of epic difficulty!

This highlight might be hard for even Xu Beifang himself to surpass.

Even though this highlight had been watched many times, when they saw the footage again, many of them still couldn't help but gasp.

Because Xu Beifang's aggressiveness in this clutch was too strong; all his actions were sharp and exposed.

So without a doubt, Xu Beifang came to the stage again and received a small trophy from the host.

He looked at the groups of acquaintances off-stage: "Who else haven't I thanked?"

Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter off-stage.

They also didn't expect that Xu Beifang would go on stage so many times in a row, so many times that he didn't know what to say.

After making them laugh, Xu Beifang also seized the time to slip away and ran directly below.

Next, HLTV announced the Best Women's Team and the Best Rookie, which finally allowed him to sit down and rest for a while.

Then it was the announcement of the Team of the Year. Unsurprisingly, the entire Vitality team walked onto the stage.

It's just that the sight of them all wearing suits on the same screen made everyone not quite used to it.

Xu Beifang let apEX accept the interview, and then they received a team trophy and quickly returned below the stage.

Immediately after was the main event of this awards ceremony.

Regarding the announcement of the TOP 20.

In the first 14 days of 2020, HLTV announced the rankings of 14 players, leaving only the rankings of the top 6.

Although everyone could roughly know the result, the moment the ranking was not confirmed, they were always looking forward to it.

Just at this moment, Zywoo bumped Xu Beifang's shoulder: "This time your TOP 1 is definitely stable."

"What's stable?" Xu Beifang was a bit surprised, then followed Zywoo's gaze and saw a familiar man.

pasha also noticed Xu Beifang's expression and winked at him.

As a special guest, pasha came to the center of the stage. He wasn't shy at all and shouted loudly: "Hi, seller!"

Hearing this familiar accent, everyone in the venue cooperated very well and started to boo.

"Today I came here to announce the ranking of the Player of the Year for you. We have already announced some, and I will announce the remaining TOP 6 players."

As he said, some of the previous TOP ranked players appeared on the big screen.

TOP 20: Brollan

TOP 19: CeRq

TOP 18: Krimz

TOP 8: NAF

TOP 7: electronic

"Next, let's look at this year's TOP 6!" pasha looked at the hand card: "Congratulations Magisk!"

Magisk walked onto the stage, also a formulaic interview for Astralis, thanking others, and then ran down at light speed.

"TOP 5: Elige!"

It's not surprising that Elige got TOP 5. After all, he was the only one who could confront Xu Beifang head-on this year, and other riflers were relatively a level weaker.

"TOP 4: device!"

As the human limit device, he only got the TOP 4 honor, but thinking about what level the remaining few guys were, the audience was relieved.

"TOP 3: ZywOo!"

The little fatty beside Xu Beifang walked onto the stage happily. pasha also had a good impression of his little brother partner and gave him many smiles.

However, when Zywoo entered the stage, the opening was still a set of "I don't know", but this time he didn't run away, but thanked his teammates, and then explained that this award meant a lot to him.

It was indeed like this. This was the first year of Zywoo's debut in the true sense, and he needed honors to prove himself.

Now that he had achieved this, he also knew what his strength really was.

However, everyone chose to selectively ignore the last sentence.

After all, this talent monster Zywoo, telling others he didn't know what level he was, who would believe it!

After speaking, Zywoo also excitedly shook the trophy twice.

Potato is cute.

Xu Beifang smiled off-stage.

Immediately after, TOP 2 was unsurprisingly taken by S1mple.

In fact, whether TOP 2 was S1mple or Zywoo had always been controversial, after all, the data of the two was not much different.

S1mple was more outstanding, and Zywoo had more honors this year.

But in the end, the judges might have preferred personal ability, so they gave TOP 2 to S1mple.

Then, pasha smiled on the stage, and everyone in the venue also smiled. Their eyes looked at Xu Beifang in unison.

pasha shouted excitedly on the stage: "Next, let's invite the HLTV TOP 1 player of 2019!"

"Nice!"

This was completely differential treatment, but everyone knew the relationship between Xu Beifang and pasha, so they also followed suit.

The official HLTV live broadcast room also exploded, and the barrage was frantically scrolling.

【It's here!】

【TOP 1 of the Year!!】

【The TOP 1 of riflers, he's here!】

【Beifang actually can't be counted as a pure rifler, he also plays sniper.】

【This guy is all-around leaning towards rifler, but he's really fierce, not like a human.】

On the big screen, Xu Beifang's data for this year appeared.

After seeing the specific data, everyone felt their cerebellum had shrunk a bit.

ID: Nice

Kills per round: 0.98

Average damage per round: 98.5

Impact rating: 1.76

Rating: 1.56

"Ah!!!"

Many people off-stage were stunned. What the hell is this!

Rating 1.56, are you even human!

Last year's TOP 1 was S1mple. S1mple's performance in 2018 had actually exceeded the public's expectations and surpassed the performance of previous CSGO professional players, and his rating was only 1.33.

But Xu Beifang was 0.23 higher than S1mple.

You have to know that this 0.23 is the annual average rating!

This data means that his average rating for every match this year was above 1.56.

It's almost data of fishing all year round.

It's really outrageous.

Xu Beifang stepped onto the big stage again and again.

pasha looked at that familiar figure, and his heart was also very emotional.

Once upon a time, due to a momentary thought, he found a passerby from the ladder to save the scene, but he didn't expect that the gears of fate had already started to turn.

That sunny, bright big boy from before could now stand on his own, and had even become a peak that the entire GO circle needed to chase.

He was proud of Xu Beifang.

pasha showed a bright smile: "Well done!"

Xu Beifang stood in the center of the stage, facing the microphone, and said very excitedly: "Standing on this stage again, I finally thought of who to thank. Thank my big brother pasha."

There was a burst of laughter off-stage. They felt that Xu Beifang was about to transform into a comedian.

Or rather, this succubus famous in the circle was a comedian to begin with.

"Speaking of which, when I first wanted to go professional, I was a bit unwilling. Everyone said I couldn't do it, I just wanted to try."

"Then because of pasha, when I joined VP, I thought every day, when can I compete with those top players I can only see in the news?" As he spoke, Xu Beifang pointed off-stage: "That's right, it's you guys."

"I used to be a challenger, and now, I have also become the person who needs to be challenged."

"But actually, I just want to enjoy the game. I want to be myself."

Hearing this, many people were also very emotional.

Because Xu Beifang's experience was very interesting, and he had gone viral a few times, everyone present knew more or less how he walked to where he was today step by step.

When Xu Beifang first appeared in their field of vision, he wasn't a player with particularly outstanding talent, just a bit of spirit in his playstyle.

Then they watched this guy rely on hard work, rely on research, and suddenly explode and walk in front of them.

This was a bit hard to accept, but this was the fact.

Just like some people would want to imitate Xu Beifang's settings to become stronger, many of them had also learned Xu Beifang's daily routine, wanting to train synchronously with Xu Beifang to become as strong as him.

But the boring and tasteless training soon extinguished the little enthusiasm in their hearts.

Many of them even complained that Xu Beifang was purely a pervert, being able to happily practice this boring training every day.

Now they slowly felt that all of this was supported by love.

Only exaggerated love could make him persist until now, and make him grow to this point.

After Xu Beifang finished the interview, he also walked down with the trophy.

At this time, he found a burlap sack on the table next to the stage. Xu Beifang communicated with the staff and took the sack in his hand.

Then he returned to his seat and threw all the big and small trophies he had won into it.

JackZ curiously went over: "Beifang, let me see what the HLTV TOP 1 trophy looks like."

Xu Beifang heard this and opened the sack, taking them out one by one: "This is the Best Anchor's."

"This is the Cologne MVP."

"This is the Sydney MVP."

"This is..."

The Director next to him watched Xu Beifang's actions and laughed until his stomach hurt: "Who carries a burlap sack to receive awards!"

After the interview, Xu Beifang returned to the hotel prepared by the organizer.

It was still early, only halfway through the afternoon, so no one was going to dinner at this time.

Xu Beifang had nothing to do, so he downloaded a live streaming software on the hotel computer and opened the stream.

【Holy crap, you started streaming right after the awards ceremony?】

【If only rain was half as diligent as Nice.】

【Congratulations to Nice for becoming the TOP 1 player of 2019!】

【A unique existence, too strong!】

【As a fan of Nice, I'm so happy today.】

【The Director's tweet just now, carrying trophies in a burlap sack, this is too luxurious.】

Xu Beifang opened CSGO. Adjusting the settings took a bit of time, and then he said: "The awards ceremony just ended, everyone is a bit tired, my teammates have all gone to sleep, I have nothing to do so I'll play some CSGO."

【Nothing to do so play CSGO...】

【Really don't be too diligent.】

【If I could be as diligent as Nice, Faceit would have been level 10 long ago.】

"I'm adjusting the settings, everyone just chat casually, you can ask anything, I'll answer if I see it."

【How many awards did Nice win today?】

"I haven't counted specifically, probably around 10."

【Streamer, streamer, my marksmanship is fine, what should I do if I don't know the utility?】

"Then spend some time practicing utility, just run for 10 minutes every day. If you don't want to run, go find other bloggers, or find a professional match and use the utility from it."

After answering a few questions that fans asked more diligently, Xu Beifang drank some water and was about to adjust the mouse speed and start playing against bots when he saw a few barrage messages asking intermittently.

He deliberately let the barrage stop for a moment before reading the full content.

【Nice, hello. I am a tier-two professional player, but after truly entering the professional scene, I discovered that my talent is not very high. I seem to never be able to become an outstanding player like you, Nice. Recently, my performance in the professional arena has also been very poor. People around me suggest I become a food delivery driver. Everyone says listening to others' suggestions will make you better, but I want to continue chasing my dreams. Can the streamer give me some advice?】

Xu Beifang was silent for a long time before deliberating and saying: "Everyone's environment is different, so I don't know how much talent you have, but my friend."

"No matter what you live like, people will talk. We only live once in this world, eat the food you want to eat, see the people you want to see, see the scenery you like, and do the things you like."

"You don't necessarily have to become Xu Beifang; you can become device, you can become S1mple, you can become JackZ, you can become Art, you can be thousands of people."
