Chapter 459: 14 One-wave push playstyle

"Hey buddy, if I remember correctly, you haven't played such a beautiful Desert Eagle highlight in a long time."

Taking advantage of C9 calling a timeout to discuss tactics, Coach Xiaoxiao also spoke to NIKO.

NIKO switched out the Fire Desert Eagle and looked at the stickers on it quietly.

They were a "Mouz | 2015 Cologne Championship" and two "NIKO | 2015 Cluj-Napoca Championship" stickers.

Looking at the timeline on the stickers, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face. "Yeah, CS2 is so terrible, and my state is the same."

Or rather, since that Stockholm Major, he had some haze regarding the Desert Eagle.

But just in that clutch, he felt everything had returned.

Seeing the atmosphere was set up, Xu Beifang teased on the side, "You'll be honest if you're given a back-shot."

Hearing this, the group instantly couldn't hold it, even the cold-faced gunner JKS almost couldn't maintain his persona.

NIKO was still reminiscing about the past, but upon hearing this, his memory instantly returned to the third floor, his face full of black lines.

Don't you know not to expose the scars!

What kind of IGL steps on his teammates' stage every day!

He really wanted to give Xu Beifang two punches.

However, after carefully sizing up Xu Beifang's thick arms, he wisely threw this idea out of his mind.

The teasing during the tactical timeout wasn't taken to heart by anyone; it was just to liven up the atmosphere.

As the timeout ended, both sides returned to the match.

After being flipped by C9, even adding kill economy, the average was only 1500 dollars.

Even if they bought nothing, they couldn't buy long guns in the next round.

So they decisively chose to force buy to try to operate.

But Xu Beifang didn't give him this chance at all. Knowing C9 had no economy, he directly expanded control of the mid-round and then synchronized B Small and B2 in the second time.

This is a quite "ladder-style" tactic, but it just works. C9, with only half-armor Desert Eagles, couldn't withstand their long-range gun duels at all.

The subsequent economic round even let Danking use a blow-dryer to brush 4, directly refreshing in one wave.

Although he was finally caught by electronic and killed from the side, Tie Dan's mood was still quite good.

Then he questioned his teammates: "Not brother, I killed four in this round, four kills, why don't you have any reaction?"

Others looked at Tie Dan blankly.

"I need you to provide me with emotional value, understand!"

Honest man Elige nodded: "Strong."

JKS chose to add 1: "Indeed strong."

NIKO smiled disdainfully: "Heh, Valorant player!"

Xu Beifang frowned: "No, I didn't even blame you for stealing my five-kill, and you're acting up?"

Danking instantly widened his eyes, looking at Xu Beifang unbelievably. "I killed four, and I stole your five-kill?"

He turned to look at Coach Xiaoxiao, his expression full of: "He slandered me, someone slandered me!"

Xu Beifang shrugged: "Otherwise?"

Coach T. C stood behind, covering his mouth; he was afraid he would be laughed to death by the interaction of the team members.

It can only be said that the relationship between Xu Beifang and Danking is indeed good; the two can make jokes without any scruples, and the program effect is directly full.

T. C was already considering whether to find a time after the match to release their voice chat; netizens would definitely be amused to death.

The reason why Xu Beifang and Danking have such a good relationship is that the two of them can always keep the banter going.

And, when it needs to be serious, Xu Beifang can also hold it.

"Alright, alright, no more fooling around, arranging long guns next."

"Danking, buy a sniper directly. C9's economy isn't very good this round, overall utility isn't much, so we'll still control the map first and play by exchanging utility with them."

Now they are full-armor full-utility, the opponent is likely half-armor long gun + about two pieces of utility.

In this case, C9 can't play utility exchange against them.

After exchanging a wave in the early stage, C9 likely won't have much follow-up, so next, whether it's default pushing or playing a wave with explosive utility, it's relatively advantageous.

To be honest, this COL roster actually doesn't rely much on snipers. However, with this economy, Xu Beifang is still willing to let Danking find opportunities.

With a sniper, they didn't throw a VIP smoke at the opening, but gave a mid-round crossing smoke, which can directly send Danking to the Sandbag.

Xu Beifang followed behind Danking as a bodyguard, also helping to guard against the opponent's possible forward pressure.

After the Danking smoke exploded, he didn't cross the point at the first time, waiting for a timing before walking towards the Sandbag.

But the moment he moved, suddenly a grenade flew from VIP, exploding directly in the crossing smoke, blowing the smoke grenade away.

This is also the most characteristic mechanism of CS2; grenades can temporarily destroy smoke grenades.

Danking instantly felt it was going to be bad; C9's countermeasures were much faster than he imagined.

But Xu Beifang had been following beside Danking, just to prevent this from happening. Hearing the grenade explode, he immediately peeked out from the Terrorist entrance corner.

"Da da da!"

The gunshots of M4A1 and AK47 sounded successively in the mid-round, but only one kill appeared in the upper right corner.

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill Boomb14】

"Saw two in the mid-round, Nice is there, they might be controlling the map slowly in the mid-round." Boombl4 quickly passed the information collected.

Immediately after, he sighed implicitly.

Sure enough, Nice is still so "annoying." He was almost about to get a kill here, but Nice's timing was too good, directly disgusting him.

Even half a second later would have been fine!

However, the first kill had already been sent out, so he could only adjust the subsequent formation.

"Beifang's trade kill is very fast, obviously prepared. This is a quite qualified bodyguard." Ma Xixi praised. "Now Boombl4 is dead, the opening has entered a 4v5 clutch, and it's a bit uncomfortable next."

"C9 directly gave up the mid-round in the second time, choosing a 2A2B default formation."

Ma Xixi commentated: "This is a reasonable choice. After all, C9 doesn't have much utility in hand now, they probably also know that COL's default formations are all done very tightly, so now they are just waiting for the Terrorist to make a move."

"No matter which side the Terrorist attacks, as long as they can trade one or two heads head-on, the clutch has the possibility of operation. If they can't trade, they might just save weapons directly."

The playstyle of the CIS region tends towards "strong default," they are more inclined to use details in their personal operations to make up for tactical losses.

Now entering 4v5, they also chose to believe in local individual ability again.

Xu Beifang did let his teammates stay still for the time being, especially letting the other three be careful with the default, guarding against the opponent possibly pushing out from both sides.

But C9 didn't take the initiative to find people in the second time, which gave him a multiple-choice question.

Which side to attack?

C9 in the second time was also quite smart. After Boombl4 was killed, they didn't expose too much information, which led to them being in a numerical advantage, but there was a map fog in the AB sites.

Green Dragon encounters this situation relatively often, and the methods they adopt are all "close the door and release donk."

But Xu Beifang always felt that method was quite stupid, so he didn't issue a gathering command.

After the time slowly reached 1 minute, he finally spoke: "Let's try synchronized attack. NIKO, you give a Link smoke, then two people synchronize to start giving pressure, I'll also start walking towards the Archway."

"Danking, help me guard B Small, JKS, you just look at the timing yourself."

JKS nodded, this is also his favorite rhythm.

The most uncomfortable thing for a Lurker is truly entering the IGL's command and doing that kind of "must" execute command.

They still prefer a flexible playstyle, because this can fully demonstrate the information advantage they got on the side.

Xu Beifang thought for a while, "NIKO don't be anxious head-on, Danking, give me an Archway flash."

He was ready to use himself as bait.

The movement on the map had disappeared for a long time, and as long as he moved, all of C9's attention would be on him.

Danking nodded, then immediately threw a flashbang towards the Archway.

Xu Beifang turned his back to the flash and peeked at the Archway, quickly clearing the near point, and also determined that no one was standing at the CT Spawn phone booth.

"Archway started pushing forward, but isn't he bringing Danking this wave? Pushing forward alone, JKS is still staying at B Site, then how is COL going to play this wave?" Ma Xixi was a bit surprised.

He looked at COL's movement, as if they were preparing to play a wave in, but this formation was a bit too scattered, without any thought of concentrating firepower.

Playing like this, there is no trade kill efficiency at all.

"Archway gives pressure, NIKO also directly pushed a Link smoke, then gave a self-help flash to push forward."

"The two CT positions on A Site are at CT Spawn and the second floor. P-Marshal, taking advantage of the smoke grenade exploding, peeked at the Archway from the ropz position. How to say this wave?"

Hiss~

Perfectr0 gasped; he had only intended to peek for information, but he had almost been instantly killed.

"Archway directly went up, you be careful on the second floor!" P-Marshal reminded in the voice channel.

His CT Spawn position has quite a lot of restrictions, especially now that he is crippled, he can only play in a way of covering and trading.

If the Terrorist in the Archway pushes towards the bomb site, Hobbit on the second floor will die very miserably.

So he reminded Hobbit, if possible, it's best for Hobbit to change positions.

Hobbit also understood and immediately pushed forward into the second floor quietly.

The opponent's desire to attack A was very strong. If he could touch into the second floor of A, it would be quite mysterious.

Even if the position was exposed, it could become a thorn in the opponent's side, allowing teammates to cooperate when retaking.

"COL formation unfolds, this pressure on the police is very big. Hobbit on the second floor pushed forward, Hobbit wants to liberate A Site directly. But there is an Elige on the second floor of A. This wave of Ji Ge's performance is quite critical."

Elige pushed forward quietly, intending to cooperate with NIKO to synchronize.

But suddenly he saw someone peek in his field of vision. Elige's forearm instantly tightened, and he pulled to the fly-head's head in one frame.

"Da da da!"

【Elige used AK47 to headshot kill Hobbit】

"The forward-pushing second floor died, no follow-up trade kill, A Site should only have the one at CT Spawn!" Ji Ge shouted.

Xu Beifang added: "That one at CT Spawn should have been hit three times."

NIKO heard this and quietly adjusted the pre-aiming position.

Then he saw someone peek out from A1 with his peripheral vision.

"Bang!"

【NIKO+Nice used AK47 to headshot kill Perfectr0】

"Hobbit's forward push was counter-killed, NIKO rushed out from A1 and also killed P-Marshal. Ax1Le wanted to unfold retake from B Small, but Danking's big sniper had been holding B Small and VIP, directly killing him!"

"JKS touched forward from B2, just caught electronic's retake timing, and has locked him in the Supermarket."

Ma Xixi touched his hair unbelievably. "How could Boombl4 have thought that the opponent completely held the front line with gunplay, and everyone died in an instant, and electronic is the only one left, and his position has been locked!"

"Electronic is still considering whether to save weapons, but Beifang in VIP has already peeked out in advance and directly killed him!!"

He looked at the screen unbelievably: "Beifang's playstyle is actually quite simple, just using individual ability to grind you. This is actually a tactic biased towards the ideal, but it was really played by him!"

"This long gun round, he directly let everyone go, he really dares to Call this kind of tactic, completely believing in the teammates' individual ability!"

"This long gun round, everyone accurately completed their tasks, and not even one person died until the end. This C9 is already a bit unplayable, because COL's economy is going to be completely raised!"

【Damn Li's director! All death perspectives】

【But this death perspective is really terrifying, CTs died one after another in a few seconds】

【This is completely pushing horizontally】

【The trade kill efficiency is indeed high, the few people on the front line move so fast】

【Ma Xixi: As long as C9 can trade people, they can play retake, as a result, all front-line retakes died】

【Beifang's IGL really has a say】

【As a Ni and JKS fan, it's really cool to watch, he completely let NIKO and JKS go out to play, this level is all played out】

【C9 is directly unplayable, originally the economy was not good after being flipped in the early stage, this long gun round not only didn't win, but even COL didn't lose a gun, the economy was directly raised】

Boombl4 called a timeout again, because from his perspective, this first half was indeed collapsing.

After coming to CS2, by common sense, it is very difficult to raise the economy.

But after being flipped in the early stage, they gave COL the opportunity to win three consecutive points, and Danking used a blow-dryer to blow 4 of them, and this economy could play two consecutive long gun rounds.

But what was truly fatal was this round, they couldn't kill a single person, COL relied on the pulling of the formation to collapse them, achieving an "ACE."

Boombl4 just calculated roughly and knew how exaggerated COL's economy was.

COL can play three consecutive long gun rounds.

Oh, no, if you add the three rounds of losing streak economy, COL can play four consecutive long gun rounds.

And this is only possible if C9 can win consecutively next.

As an IGL, he was already feeling a bit desperate, even though the current score was only 4:1.

But Boombl4 still cheered up and tried hard to encourage his teammates, trying to get some points on the defensive side.

But the subsequent situation made him even more desperate.

Because the opponent changed the rhythm of the playstyle again, from scattered default map control to "World's Number One" brothers hugging and pushing forward.

COL got too many first kills, NIKO's state gradually became hot, and he was just killing people head-on!

Their hand feel was not good, plus the gun disadvantage, they were inexplicably losing people head-on.

Even if there were some rounds where Hobbit and P-Marshal relied on experience to get some kills.

COL's members were always able to win in the clutch.

Hopes turned into despair one after another, and C9's mentality was constantly changing.

It wasn't until the last two rounds of the first half that Ax1Le finally found some opportunities and helped C9 get another point with a four-kill on the B site.

Electronic, who entered the final round, also exploded, holding a wave of B-site speed-up in a turning way, helping C9 get another point.

The final first-half score was locked at 9:3.

Boombl4 inexplicably missed the CSGO version of the match. At that time, the first half was 15 rounds, and they might have been able to chase the score with this wave of morale.

But CS2 has less room for error.

They could only look forward to the pistol round in the second half.

They chose a speed-up on the B site in the second-half pistol round.

But unfortunately, the player named Danking on the opposite side played the pistol too well.

Standing in a very brave position, he relied on positioning to kill them all.

After losing the pistol round, their spirit was basically gone. They did get two rounds in the later long gun rounds, but it was already a bit late, and they were trailing by too many points.

Finally, on this COL selection map, the score was locked at 13:5.
