Chapter 458: 13 Nine-Turn Desert Eagle Immortal Venerable NIKO (Asking for votes at the end of the month)
Huya CSBOY live broadcast room.
Ma Xixi was connecting with MO. Today they didn't gather in the live broadcast room, but one was commentating on the match, and the other entered the offline venue to grab players for interviews and interaction.
"Alright, the match in Group B is about to start, so I'll commentate on the match first." Ma Xixi said. "After the match ends and you catch someone, we'll connect again."
MO on the screen nodded: "Alright, let's do that for now."
After saying goodbye to MO, Ma Xixi switched back to the live broadcast screen and saw the COL match room screen.
The COL group had finished warming up and were now waiting for the BP to start.
NIKO thought and said: "That, we have to be careful in this match today. C9 is a team that likes to fight."
Xu Beifang shouted with a smile: "No matter how the opponent plays, NIKO, you just kill five, won't this game be won?"
NIKO laughed and cursed out loud upon hearing this: "【Dirty words that make m0nesy tremble】 I'm talking to you seriously..."
Xu Beifang didn't care about NIKO's dirty words and turned to complain to the coach: "Coach, NIKO cursed at me. Can you deduct his salary?"
Elige and JKS watched their interaction and smiled slightly on the side.
NIKO was also quite helpless about Xu Beifang's unconventional approach.
The coach also cooperated very well, saying from behind: "Cursing is fined. Fine you to treat us to Crazy Thursday on Thursday."
NIKO couldn't help but complain when he heard this: "How did Broky's preference spread to you guys too?"
The group burst into laughter.
Their opponent today is C9. Although they haven't faced this team much before, the members inside this team now are all old acquaintances.
Very simple, let's unfold the roster slightly:
Boomb14, Perfecto, electronic, S1m... No, the last two members are Hobbit and Ax1Le.
To be honest, this C9 can be counted as a team that has gathered the best of the CIS region.
The peak NAVI roster plus the peak Gambit roster.
The ceiling of this roster is quite high.
But perhaps because of personality issues, the time required for CIS region players to integrate is often much longer than in other regions.
Plus, C9 now doesn't have a very outstanding sniper, leading to results that have been up and down.
However, for COL, this confrontation is still quite anticipated.
After all, C9's playstyle is very much to their taste.
Truly entering the match, it might be a "combat pleasure" session.
But the premise of combat pleasure is winning this BO3.
After all, whether it's C9 or them, they have already reached the edge of elimination.
After losing this match, Xu Beifang might only be able to go defend the performance match championship.
On the surface, their states were quite relaxed, but in reality, they didn't do much preparation.
This has to do with C9's playstyle. The way C9 wins games relies more on the players' performance.
As long as they have two people stably carrying, C9's chance of winning is actually very high.
So, Xu Beifang considered showing their team's stuff in the match, which would be enough.
"Gambling coin doesn't work?"
Watching Coach Xiaoxiao walk back, Danking asked.
Coach Xiaoxiao was full of self-satisfaction: "It still has to be rock-paper-scissors. Today we have the Ban map right, we've already won half, okay."
Xu Beifang smiled: "Then we definitely can't let you down, definitely take it."
After saying that, under the referee's reminder, the BP for this match officially started.
Having obtained the Ban map right first, it was easy to talk later.
"Alright, let's see the BP for this match. COL banned Overpass first?" Ma Xixi was a bit surprised. "They banned Anubis first for the past two days. Could it be they hid a hand?"
"C9, on the other hand, removed Inferno."
This choice was still a bit surprising, after all, C9's regular Ban map is Vertigo.
However, C9's map pool actually has big problems. They are now roughly a five-map team, and their level on Anubis is actually quite poor.
This is also why COL dared to let it through.
If it were truly selected, the final result might be playing simpler, purely relying on individual ability to play.
"Let's take Mirage as usual." Xu Beifang said.
Seeing COL finish their first pick, C9 locked in Ancient.
COL removed Anubis, C9 removed Vertigo, and finally, Nuke was left as Map 3.
In this way, the maps for this BO3 were all determined.
Map 1: Mirage
Map 2: Ancient
Map 3: Nuke
Both sides entered the final preparation time, and the match was about to start.
"Alright, the match has finally started!" Ma Xixi saw the match UI appear and immediately became serious. "Welcome everyone to watch the third round of the IEM Chengdu group stage, COL vs C9. I am commentator Ma Xixi."
"I am assistant Mingrixing."
Ma Xixi asked as usual: "Who are you?"
The bullet screen on the sub-screen instantly started moving:
【I am Beifang's dog!】
【I am 259】
【I am Pete's takeout】
【...】
The fans in the live broadcast room cooperated very well with the memes, but the match officially started, so Ma Xixi put his attention into the match.
"Is COL starting to explode utility on A Site directly? Directly a Liquid A! But this round C9 just happened to have a formation biased towards A Site. Ax1Le peeked out from Jump Platform and killed one, two, three!" Ma Xixi was stunned. "What!"
"Ax1Le's aim directly exerted force, directly interrupting the Terrorist's attack rhythm. The Jump Platform smoke exploded, but there were people above and below A2, NIKO killed one, but was also killed by the trade kill below the second floor."
Ma Xixi finally glanced at the time: "It was only 15 seconds after the round started, and the pistol round was already over. This is too fast."
The director's camera swept over, and all ten people in the match rooms of both sides smiled.
"This wave is also helpless, it belongs to a comet hitting the earth." Ma Xixi evaluated. "The tactics had no big problems, it's just that the tactics hadn't unfolded yet, and Ax1Le aimed perfectly. There's no good way for this."
"Let's see how COL plays the second round."
"What do you say, should we ECO this round." Danking suggested.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of guns dropping on the side, and then turned to look.
"NIKO, what exactly did you do! Without economy, how can we contend with the opponent's full-armor long guns!" Danking stomped his feet, glaring at NIKO.
NIKO smiled indifferently: "Very simple, I'll just go half-armor Desert Eagle, won't I?"
After speaking, his aura finally stopped hiding and revealed itself.
【Innate Shrimp Saint Body!】
In an instant, the voice channel went silent again.
NIKO held the Desert Eagle, chanting in his mouth:
"Known the difficulty of back-shots in early years, three shots missed in a row passed down through the world!"
"No one asks about the rating, the future of Lao Xu is dangerous!"
"Now I raise my double pincers high, the prestige will not be less than back then!"
"One person, one gun, dare to break the heavens!"
Watching NIKO shaking his head, Xu Beifang hurriedly said: "Alright, hurry up and turn off his sound!"
"Then this round will be like this, NIKO half-armor Desert Eagle, others naked Glock, then make some noise in the mid-round in the second time, I'll try to see if I can grab an opportunity to steal the bomb."
As the world's number one Desert Eagle, star players always have privileges at certain moments.
In 2018 and 2019, NIKO even played operations where he bought a Desert Eagle in the pistol round.
Focusing on Desert Eagle confidence.
He returned to confidence again, and Xu Beifang supported it.
NIKO nodded, "My positioning is good, wait a moment, Dan, you boost me, I'll see if I can pick one."
Dan was a no-armor Glock this round, originally here to be NIKO's tool man, so he came to the mid-round and quickly squatted down.
NIKO jumped up smoothly, then quickly did preparation actions at the edge of the wall, and immediately peeked out.
The moment he peeked, he saw a fly-head near the Archway throwing a grenade in his direction.
NIKO's crosshair immediately swung towards the fly-head's direction.
"Bang!"
【NIKO used Desert Eagle to headshot kill Boomb14】
"Ni's Desert Eagle! This opening Desert Eagle boost directly pulled Boombl4 down!" Ma Xixi's eyes lit up. "Boombl4 wanted to use a grenade to put some blood on the Terrorist entrance, blood was put, but he also sent out a head."
Xu Beifang held the bomb at A2, looking at the kill information in the upper right corner, and also praised: "As expected of you."
He was convinced of NIKO's Desert Eagle. If he were to gamble with a Desert Eagle on the map, he wouldn't get much advantage facing NIKO head-on.
NIKO was too confident in this weapon and used it too well.
"You guys watch the timing in the mid-round yourselves, when it's about time to pull, just do it. I need feedback from you guys here."
Although NIKO got the first kill, the difficulty of winning this round was still very high. After all, there was no way to pick up guns to enhance firepower, and most people in this round were no-armor, with extremely poor combat power.
NIKO heard Xu Beifang's words and naturally took over the local command: "Wait a few seconds, brothers, get in position. Later, Danking, you pull directly to the mid-round, then JKS follow me to the Sandbag, Ji Ge, don't move at the Terrorist entrance corner."
In a very short time, he even designed a formation.
After everyone was in position, NIKO finally spoke: "3, 2, 1, pull!"
In an instant, three people at the Terrorist entrance swarmed towards the Sandbag direction.
Electronic was holding an M4A1 in VIP, holding the Sandbag crossing. He was holding this point with a self-preservation playstyle.
So when the opponent pulled out horizontally, he only had half a second to fire, and the M4A1 spray naturally didn't deal much damage.
Instead, he was hit in the head by Danking's Glock, who pulled to the middle of the big road.
However, electronic immediately pulled the crosshair down and barely managed to trade Danking.
After successfully killing one with a spray, electronic reloaded behind the VIP cover.
Boombl4 saw this situation and immediately shouted: "Hobbit, wait two seconds to throw a flash in the mid-round, immediately send them B Small and mid-round counter-flash out."
Hobbit, who was behind the Long Box, also calculated the time and started throwing two flashbangs into the mid-round continuously.
But he didn't know that someone had already touched out from A2, and knew his position from the utility trajectory.
"Hobbit's flashbang effect is very good, JKS is fully white, Ax1Le peeked out from B Small and directly killed him."
"But what's the situation at A Site? Why did Beifang touch under A2 unknowingly? This timing?" Ma Xixi's breathing became heavy. "Could it be that there's really a chance to turn the tables this round?"
Xu Beifang wasn't anxious, but let the mid-round teammates continue to release sound in the voice channel.
He pushed to the near point of the Short Box, quietly collecting Hobbit's information.
After Hobbit finished throwing the mid-round flash, he immediately added an A1 smoke. Perhaps worried that there would be timing to expose, he stood by the Long Box and held A1 directly.
Xu Beifang quietly stuck to the Long Box direction.
Hobbit held A1 for a while, feeling that A1 shouldn't come out, then turned to peek A2.
Then the moment he peeked out, his soul was scared away.
Because he found that he didn't know when, someone had already touched his face.
"Bang bang!"
Two Glock headshots at close range, instantly killing him.
"Someone touched the bomb site!! A Site entered!" Hobbit shouted in the voice channel, panting after shouting. This wave really scared him, because he didn't expect Xu Beifang to touch his face at all.
After Xu Beifang killed Hobbit, he didn't hesitate, directly sucked over an MP9, and planted the bomb behind the Long Box.
"Brothers, I'm planting the bomb directly."
The initial goal of this round was to plant a bomb, and now the initial purpose had been achieved. As for turning the tables.
Even if he and NIKO each killed one, there was still quite a bit of difficulty. After all, he was just a no-armor MP9.
"Beifang caught a very good timing here, directly liberating A Site and planting the bomb." Ma Xixi smiled. "Now C9 is uncomfortable. The clutch has reached 3v3. B Small directly started pushing forward. This wave they just want to catch NIKO and kill him, and then go back to take over the clutch."
Perfect0 pushed forward towards the Sandbag with an MP9. The situation had been out of control several times, giving him a bad feeling.
After entering the CS2 version, every round is very important, but the probability of being flipped in ANTI-ECO has become higher, which makes people very uncomfortable.
If this round is flipped, their early rhythm will completely collapse.
Fortunately, in this situation, they didn't panic, but let Ax1Le and electronic hold guns, and he pushed forward actively with a short gun.
Perfect0 held his MP9, pre-aiming the sandbags. Soon, he saw NIKO peek out from the left side of the sandbags and fire a shot at him, so he immediately started spraying with his MP9.
But NIKO's peek was too fast, and just as he started firing, someone also emerged from the T-spawn to shoot at him.
"P-Marshal's reaction is very fast, instantly killing Elige, but NIKO's Desert Eagle also followed up with this shot! The clutch is already 2v2! This wave really has a chance to turn the tables!!" Ma Xixi said excitedly.
NIKO naturally knew this point, and he could even determine the positions of the last two people in VIP and B Small respectively.
"The one in VIP was also headshot by me!" Danking reminded.
Xu Beifang jumped and scouted a wave behind the Long Box, but didn't find anyone at the near point of B Small, reminding: "Ax1Le is not at B Small anymore."
"You try your best to drag him head-on, I'll operate the clutch."
After speaking, he started walking towards the CT Spawn direction, intending to go around to catch a timing, so that the clutch would have room for operation.
"Beifang started going around CT Spawn. There are two people in VIP. They still intend to deal with NIKO first, otherwise, it's hard to play if there's always a tail following."
"But NIKO understands. Ax1Le has already entered VIP in the second time. Now both of them are holding an angle."
"NIKO is still peeking, but he successfully gathered information on two people with that move, and he just one-tapped Electronic!"
"It's already 2v1. NIKO can directly hide, Beifang can quickly hold VIP from the rear. He just needs to hide."
"But NIKO is hot-headed!!"
Reason told NIKO that as long as he hid this wave, this round would be flipped.
But at the same time he killed electronic, he saw Ax1Le's final position.
He held the Desert Eagle, and at this moment he also felt very clearly.
He could kill Ax1Le in seconds.
So he went.
Tighten the Desert Eagle, pull horizontally to the left, pre-aiming is good, positioning is adjusted, just need to stop urgently—
"Bang!"
【NIKO used Desert Eagle to headshot kill Ax1Le】
"So exaggerated!! It makes people can't help but sigh, this is NIKO!" Ma Xixi laughed. "Did you notice? Only NIKO bought a half-armor Desert Eagle on the whole team, others were ECOing. This is because Beifang believes NIKO's Desert Eagle can do things!"
"This wave of his Desert Eagle is also really ruthless, attracting all of C9's attention. That Desert Eagle Prince has returned!"
COL's players started to mute and nervously collect information one by one after Xu Beifang killed Hobbit and planted the bomb.
Then when NIKO followed up and killed P-Marshal, Danking had already raised his fists to his ears.
Watching NIKO kill both people in VIP by controlling his position behind the Sandbag, he widened his eyes and watched NIKO, fully playing the role of an atmosphere group.
And when NIKO killed Ax1Le after pulling out, his emotions were also released. He excitedly raised his arms high.
At this moment, the IEM live broadcast room was filled with snowflake-like bullet screens.
【I cheer to Valhalla, only I respond!】
【Desert Eagle Prince has returned】
【Shrimp raises his double pincers high, the prestige is not less than back then!】
【Understood, as long as it's not a back-shot, NIKO can hit it】
【Add position to Fire Desert Eagle!!】
【The best front and side Desert Eagle King】
【Didn't you notice? The last one was actually an air shot, Ax1Le wanted to jump down to change positions】
【Beifang is also very critical, he stole Hobbit at A Site, directly reviving this game】
【COL is directly hyped up】
【Coach Xiaoxiao is really laughing】
The COL match room was full of laughter, while C9 diagonally opposite wasn't so good.
They didn't expect that the pistol round was won so smoothly, but the second round was directly aimed perfectly by NIKO's Desert Eagle.
Boombl4 shook his head as he watched.
Clearly they didn't make any mistakes, just a tiny bit of problem with aim led to not killing NIKO, but the result was being killed one by one by NIKO's Desert Eagle.
And on the A side, although he didn't ask Hobbit, he could easily infer it.
Nice grasped the timing of their cooperation and touched out from A2 or A1, like a ghost.
The presence of these two star players is so intense in the confrontation.
Don't know why, Boombl4 inexplicably missed the man with sensitivity 3.09000000000000.
