Chapter 470: 25 Playing Valorant the way you play CS, isn't that a kind of NTR?

On the night the quarter-finals ended, a fan photographed the celebrating COL members at a late-night snack stall.

However, what made them happy was that the COL members didn't rush to the bar to party after winning the match, as netizens had joked.

But in fact, even at the late-night snack stall, the COL group still drank a little wine.

Although the six of them added up to only two bottles of wine.

Calling it drinking, it was more to liven up the atmosphere.

"HLTV's selection is fake, right!" Danking showed off an oyster and laughed to liven up the atmosphere, "Today's BO3, their performance really doesn't deserve top 20."

After taking a sip of his drink, he added: "Their Banana Road is really bad, feels like it's not even as good as cabbage."

Xu Beifang took a sip of beer. He basically didn't touch alcohol during the schedule before, but now he felt that a little drink sometimes was not bad.

As for Danking's evaluation, he also felt there was no problem. Today's confrontation, stavn and jabbi, these two guys performed extremely poorly, making it very easy for him to figure out their routine.

Elige was gnawing on a lamb skewer on the side. Even when he was eating skewers, he looked gentle, but he didn't agree with Danking's idea.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with top 20. After all, in the Banana Road game, the top 20 beaten by Beifang are as many as the C+ rank Bizon brothers."

This remark by Ji Ge made Xu Beifang very satisfied. He showed a comfortable smile like a cat being stroked.

Ji Ge belongs to the kind of top-level honest person, the kind of player who doesn't really agree with others, so his praise just scratched Xu Beifang's itch, making Xu Beifang feel comfortable all over.

"You still have vision!" After responding to Ji Ge's praise, Xu Beifang turned to look at Danking and shouted: "Look at how high-level others speak?"

Danking instantly supported his forehead with his hand: "This team can't stay anymore, can't even provide emotional value? Tomorrow I'll go to Taobao and buy a copy of 'The Art of Language'!"

The atmosphere became happy again.

NIKO, who finished taking photos of the food, quickly inserted into this topic: "Actually, there is no big problem with giving them top 20. In the online era, when cadian was leading the team, they indeed performed well."

CSGO, this kind of highly interactive competitive game, online and offline are two completely different concepts.

When there are audiences shouting and cheering during the match, it is a reward for players like Xu Beifang, but for some players with less experience, younger age, and heavy burdens, it is suppressed.

So there were many outstanding players in the online era, and when the offline era returned, they instantly collapsed.

"The snake-mouse brothers actually have the nature of online dragons and offline worms." NIKO evaluated, "In the two years of the online era, Team X indeed relied on them as the main force. But after entering offline, their gunplay and ideas were not as outstanding as before."

He ate a bite of chives, thought for a long time, and gave an evaluation: "They belong to the kind of players above first-tier players and below star players."

Xu Beifang added: "And they haven't really stepped out of their own style."

NIKO instantly gave a thumbs up and liked Xu Beifang.

Putting aside his thoughts on the snake-mouse's character, he also felt that the playstyle of these two players was a bit strange before. Clearly, their gunplay wasn't bad, but they hadn't made any name for themselves.

Now hearing Xu Beifang say this, he instantly understood.

Before, these two guys had their shortcomings completely covered up in the dynamic defense system of cadian. At that time, what they were outstanding at was the dynamic defense + discipline set.

But you have to know, the involution in the CS professional circle is extremely powerful. The discipline + dynamic defense set was learned by first-tier teams very quickly. Maybe they didn't play as beautifully as them, but the gap between Team X's group and others was no longer that big.

At the current stage, CS2 is increasingly moving toward a player-led contingency playstyle.

Because everyone's basic discipline and tactics are played very clearly, at this time, personal decision-making, early layout, and clutch processing become more important.

The game within the tactical framework is not that important.

The snake-mouse, these two guys, their current gunplay is not as outstanding as the top batch.

Their clutch ability is also not powerful, their explosive power is insufficient, and their breakthrough ability is not as good as the few brothers at the front.

This makes them mediocre, as if they are good at every aspect, but in fact, none of them are outstanding.

However, what everyone hates more is the problem with their character. Now the decline in level is just an ignition point.

This topic was quickly terminated.

Danking drank two drinks and was already hooking shoulders with NIKO.

Xu Beifang didn't know how these two people could play together. You have to know that NIKO is the iron-blooded wolf of GO, but Danking is a top-tier Valorant player.

And the content of their chat now made Xu Beifang even more unbearable.

"Egg, actually I found that you are still quite good when you don't play Valorant."

"Ni, you should actually have more inclusiveness. Only by playing all kinds of games can you touch the analogy and have the inspiration for new techniques."

"But Egg, Valorant is really a piece of... I really can't feel its fun. In terms of competitiveness, it feels inferior to CSGO. In terms of entertainment, it's not even as good as playing Battlefield to fish for potatoes. If it's a FPS game with skills, you can actually play Overwatch... Oh, no, Overwatch is gone."

"No, no, no, Ni, you have to think from another angle." Tie Dan said to NIKO with a sincere face, "Think about it, if you reach a very, very high rank in Valorant, and others know that you are actually a CSGO player, will they suddenly realize that CSGO players play Valorant so easily, and will they choose to join CSGO?"

Xu Beifang raised an eyebrow. Even he hadn't thought of this point of view.

Seeming to notice Xu Beifang's expression, Danking directly played an 'iron chain' and pulled Xu Beifang into the camp: "And you know, this guy won the Valorant championship, and there are many Valorant players who joined CSGO because of him."

Xu Beifang supported his forehead with his hand. He really had nothing to say about this.

This was back in '21 when he was at COL. A Valorant team named SEN had a player with visa problems. Because a major tournament started and they couldn't find a suitable player.

Then former professional player tanZ didn't know how he found COL, wanting to rent someone to go over and temporarily transition.

At that time, it was the off-season, so Xu Beifang agreed.

In fact, the tactics and playstyle of Valorant professionals at this period were not particularly mature. Xu Beifang's powerful adaptability not only quickly adapted to Valorant but even brought many new tactical perspectives to SEN at that time.

Originally, he came to do dirty work and earn some rental money.

But as he played, Xu Beifang became the core of the team.

In that Iceland Masters, they rushed all the way and won the championship.

Even after that tournament, SEN wanted to spend a lot of money to buy Xu Beifang to become the core of the team, but Xu Beifang still loved CSGO, so he didn't agree.

But his legend as the strongest substitute still circulates in the Valorant professional circle to this day.

The ID 'Nice' is also very common in the Valorant ladder.

He even attracted many Valorant players to switch to GO.

"I just wanted to circle some rice back at that time..." Xu Beifang muttered in a low voice.

Danking didn't care about Xu Beifang's muttering, but continued to fool NIKO: "So look, sometimes we change the angle to think, we are actually carrying the weight forward, contributing to CSGO!"

"And, we play Valorant in the way of playing CS, isn't this a kind of NTR?"

NIKO was talked to by this, and his eyes were a bit confused.

Seems, really no problem?

Xu Beifang saw this look and instantly smiled.

Forget it, the iron-blooded child was fooled into a limp.

Xu Beifang patted Tie Dan's shoulder: "Child, you are invincible!"

Tie Dan glared at Xu Beifang. He was fooling people, what if NIKO couldn't keep up with his rhythm?

Xu Beifang didn't care about the discussion between Egg and Ni, he picked up his phone leisurely and started to enter the happy surfing mode.

CS is like this, players only need to be responsible for the match, netizens will bring the rhythm after the match themselves.

Xu Beifang, NIKO, device, plus the snake-mouse with bad reputation, made this match have many audiences.

Everyone wanted to see COL hammer Team A, and the result met their needs. The performance of the snake-mouse brothers was completely unwatchable, which directly released the audience's emotions.

Only a few hours passed, and the post-match comment section of 5E already had more than 1000 comments.

At a glance, he saw that he was given a high score of 9.9 by netizens.

Then the first hot comment below made him a bit unbearable.

【Stop it, snake-mouse, outside is full of IGL snipers, can't finish the palace at all】

Fate is sometimes so coincidental. The snake-mouse brothers who came out of Team X's palace fight, after coming to Team A, the IGL sniper became their captain.

But this time they didn't have a chance to palace device. After all, device is a shareholder of Team A, existing as the founder of Team A. If the internal conflict is really unadjustable, then device will definitely push to restart.

He continued to look down, netizens' aggressiveness is still very strong.

【During the group stage, I thought they were dragon uncles and tiger uncles, didn't expect the sun to be fierce, everything appeared, they turned out to be snake-mouse brothers!】

【So they weren't planning for a long time to pretend to be vegetable and palace Dazhuang】

【Unilaterally announce that the most refreshing thing is to watch today's match, Beizige is too competitive, Banana Road directly beat them to cowardice】

【That rat medicine and snake oil ointment picture at the scene almost made me spray my late-night snack】

There are also many players in the comment section praising COL's performance.

【Watching CS without watching Beifang's Banana Road is like watching the Four Great Classics without watching Dream of the Red Chamber, forgot the rest】

【《Yes, pice! 》《Right, nice》《Cow, little Xu》《Damn Li, Xu Beifang! 》】

【Niko Niko Ni~】

【The world's number one brothers' double dump truck is really fierce】

【Egg's performance today is really not bad, played many eye-catching cooperations, and even had a few highlights, I announce that Valorant players get 1 day of no-spray right from COL fans!】

【Why only 1 day?】

【Because if the semi-finals are not played well, you still have to spray】

【Laughing to death】

However, Xu Beifang also knows that in this lineup, Danking's strength is indeed the worst, and it is normal to receive more attention from netizens.

As for him and NIKO, as long as they don't play non-human performance, the attitude will be very good. After all, they are all players who have already played their worth, and the audience has a general understanding of their strength range.

Danking is a bit harsh here, more because of his original fun-loving personality.

But he also knows that Danking handles these very well. Although he occasionally pays attention to these, Tie Dan's mentality is still quite outstanding. Only being unable to circle rice can affect his mood.

Besides these, netizens still sympathized with Ye Bang Ge, who had a bit of tragic color.

【Ye Bang Ge: 《I came to sit on the hanging car》《Damn, I am the driver! 》】

【《Rebirth as staehr》《Brothers arrived at Team A! 》《4top can lie down》《What did P Zhuang command? 》《Snake-mouse brothers are at the bottom again》《Device is still firing》《Damn, how did I kill first? 》《Ditch-filled HLTV is purely a wild list! 》】

【Ye Bang Ge: No, 4top wants me to C, 3top wants me and another non-top to exert force】

【The more top, the less top】

【This year Ye Bang Ge is estimated to be able to enter the wild list】

【He finally lived into the way he hated most】

Xu Beifang's impression of this older young player is quite good.

He also had such a prison experience when he was at VP. He could empathize with Ye Bang Ge's current experience.

But there are still some differences between them.

Ye Bang Ge is more of a tool role in Team A.

When the economy is not good, he gives guns to teammates, even when his feel is the best, he lets teammates play with four AKs while he plays with Desert Eagle, and when teammates are not human, he can also stand out and perform a few waves under pressure.

But Xu Beifang was completely raised by VP's old brothers at that time. Even if he was a young player, as long as he had ability, he could get enough respect.

And now Ye Bang Ge, this young player, perhaps can only slowly survive this experience in Team A, and then find a next home relying on the "Astralis" big factory work experience, and his gold can burst out its light.

Of course, he may also become mediocre later.

Although Ye Bang Ge is a piece of gold now, among the first-tier players, who is not gold?

Then he looked at his old friend device.

He also knew from the post-match comment section that device had a setting problem during the match, and it was found out after the match that it was caused by CS2's own optimization problem.

Although it was the equipment that caused the clutch failure, isn't this the predicament of device today?

Although he was once the sniper of the team, A Du, Hunter, gla1ve, and xyp9x were all firing on all cylinders, so in most situations, there was absolutely no need for him to carry the team.

But now, even if device wanted to carry, he has no way to do so.

This made Xu Beifang feel a bit sighing in his heart.

The device of the past was for dreams, and was playing CS with those old brothers.

But after years of running around, he finally returned to Team A, but the old partners are not there.

There are too many unstable factors in the team. For the future of Team A, and even the future of device, he is not very optimistic.

In contrast, he still likes the Team A of the past.

Even if they have big problems, Xu Beifang still likes the feeling of playing against those old opponents.

It's just a pity that the knife of time slashed down, and no one can block it.
