Chapter 472: 27 Nice, let me see your power!

Before the semi-finals started the next day, Xu Beifang noticed that NIKO looked at Danking with a rather resentful look, obviously still thinking about last night's first experience with Valorant.

Danking felt NIKO's gaze, turned his head and spread his hands directly: "I didn't know your luck would be so bad, meeting that kind of teammate for several games in a row yesterday."

Clearly, when he played Valorant himself, he only occasionally encountered cheats. Situations like meeting bad teammates or opponents in a row were too rare.

NIKO complained: "I feel that the environment of Valorant is still too impetuous. I feel that passerby players have no patience, at least much worse than CS players."

"I should know the reason." Xu Beifang's melon-eating voice came over, NIKO raised an eyebrow, "Tell me in detail."

Xu Beifang didn't intend to sell the pass, and immediately explained his idea:

"Because Valorant hasn't been out for long, and unlike community games like CS, apEX, Rainbow Six, Valorant's publicity is very in place, and too many FPS novices have joined."

Ji Ge was also attracted by their topic and asked puzzledly: "Is there any problem with novices? Don't CS have many novices now?"

He knew this point. Since 2018 and 2019, the number of CS players has exploded, and CS also has a lot of fresh blood. He feels that this point should not be the reason for the different game environments of CS and Valorant.

Xu Beifang asked Elige a question: "Ji Ge, you are a veteran-level player of CS, how was the environment of CS at the beginning?"

"At the beginning?" Elige fell into memory, "At the beginning, everyone was playing 10-person confrontations in the regional network in internet cafes, and then slowly entered CSGO……"

Ji Ge froze for a moment: "It seems that every time a large number of new players poured in, CSGO's environment would also become bad, but soon CSGO could adjust back."

"You hit the point." Xu Beifang smiled, "This is the difference between community games and non-community games. From professional players to major anchors, CSGO has emphasized communication and cooperation for ordinary players."

"In the community, when some famous bloggers watch demos for ordinary players, they also emphasize the importance of communication."

"For CS players, communication has become a basic skill."

Xu Beifang was originally a professional brother who started from 0, so he felt this point very deeply.

In Valorant, because of many new players, many players who switched from other projects, they don't have the concept of opening the microphone to communicate, or maybe they have it, but they didn't do the subconscious reporting and communication like CS players.

And in CS matches, 10 matches, maybe 3-5 matches have people giving up in the middle, but the kind that doesn't open the microphone to report and communicate throughout the whole process, maybe only 1 match.

The whole environment can have such a strong communication ability, many are the role of these professional players and bloggers who love this game and emphasize it frantically.

Even when they reach this stage, communication has become an ability, needing to maintain the amount of information, as short and clear as possible.

If you are still like playing ladder before, say 'Damn' after being killed, and then report, then after the match ends, you will definitely be educated by the coach in a small stove.

Danking was often trained in communication when he first arrived at COL.

He remembers very clearly that Leon Kai, who is ridiculed as "only having character besides the neck", basically emphasizes the role of communication every time he explains demos to fans, but because of his unique accent, communication has become "Jiaoniu", which has become a quite interesting meme.

And most Valorant players haven't taken communication seriously yet.

Xu Beifang looked at NIKO and said: "You have to understand, after all, CS has been around for so many years, and Valorant is just a game that has just come out for a few years. The change in the game environment still needs time, and needs those who love this game to slowly catalyze it."

NIKO also figured it out. This point is indeed the case. He didn't play CS when he was not an adult, and the environment of various CS at that time was indeed not as good as it is now.

For example, there are always people in passerby games who don't know how to use props, and there are also people who don't open the microphone to communicate, or just rush out to find someone to fight at the beginning.

But after 2019, with the popularization of A-team's systematic playstyle, everyone noticed the importance of team CS, plus the reminders of various professional players and bloggers, slowly CS's environment also got better.

"Plus that time point yesterday." Xu Beifang smiled, "Even if you ran over to play CS, the feeling might be about the same."

The FPS game environment in the middle of the night can only be understood by those who understand.

There are too many weird things.

"It seems that if you want to play this game well, you still need to wait for a long time." NIKO smiled helplessly, "It's quite interesting, but the current environment makes people feel uncomfortable."

JKS took the conversation on the side: "When we have time, we will gather a five-row car to play, so we don't have to worry about the teammate problem."

"That's true……"

NIKO hadn't finished speaking, and heard Danking change the topic: "By the way, NIKO, you are about to face your old club today, how do you feel now?"

Yesterday, when they were experiencing Valorant for the first time, the confrontation on the first day of the IEM Chengdu playoffs officially ended.

They successfully eliminated Team A in the lower half.

And the confrontation in the upper half was unfolded between Liquid and Fazeclan.

Yesterday, after their confrontation ended, the global guest-playing Dian Ge finally welcomed his home field in this Chengdu city, and the whole audience was cheering and shouting for him.

But the result was a bit of a pity, the Latvian Berserker's performance was too poor, and they finally failed to advance to the next round.

Faze, under the leadership of Karrigan, defeated Liquid and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

And in the upcoming semi-finals, this galaxy battleship will also hit their own youth training team Mouz head-on.

Of course, it's just a joke to say it's youth training.

Today's Mouz is a youth storm led by the new generation's strongest IGL siuhy, and its combat effectiveness is quite impressive. If Faze's old guys can't grasp it well, a careless move might cause the battleship to return directly.

However, COL doesn't have the energy to care about the confrontation in the upper half now, because their opponent in the semi-finals is NIKO's old club, the club best at playing tricks in the world—G2!

As NIKO's old club, G2's current lineup is also acquaintances.

One of the best snipers in CS2, m0nesy, NIKO's cousin hunter, nexa known as the God of Gamblers, hooxi known as the Zhuge Breathing, and dupreeh who is Wanjiqi's second favorite player.

The combat effectiveness of this group of players is also quite terrifying, and even COL will feel no small pressure when facing them.

Now entering the semi-final confrontation, those paper gaps have become very, very small.

No matter which team it is, they have a chance to compete for the championship. Once they enter the state, they must deal with it with twelve points of spirit.

"Thoughts on G2?" NIKO scratched his eyebrows lightly, "Just a bit emotional, once intimate opponents have become opponents."

JKS smiled lightly: "I actually want to compete with m0nesy and the others again, even if it's as an opponent."

"Our feelings are still a bit different." NIKO shook his head, "After all, I basically taught that child m0nesy."

m0nesy is one of the most outstanding geniuses on the field today, and his talent is there, and everyone can feel it very clearly.

However, m0nesy's talent is not the most excellent player.

After he really joined the first-tier team, he didn't easily cross the rookie wall like Xu Beifang, Zywoo, and S1mple.

When he first joined G2, he had several months of very low data.

At that time, NIKO helped him check for gaps, taught m0nesy some deep-level usage methods of rifles, and some experiences that could be used in matches.

NIKO was completely cultivating m0nesy as a successor at that time.

But in the end, he didn't take m0nesy to fame, which was a pity after all.

"However, there is not much I can teach him anymore……" NIKO sighed in a low voice.

Xu Beifang smiled heartily: "Then let us see what level that child's strength is at now!"

……

Entering the inside of the arena, the host was still incredibly passionate, driving the audience in the arena to shout and cheer for the players.

The ten players on the field were all enjoying this moment.

"Now, there is only one simple question!" The host roared, "Are you ready?"

Immediately after, he raised the microphone to Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang was naturally incredibly cooperative, "Meow meow meow meow meow!"

This answer made many audiences at the scene black out, and finally it can only be said that they were infected by DANKING virus.

The host raised the microphone to hooxi again, hooxi didn't make such a mess as Xu Beifang, just shouted a "yes!" cooperatively.

"Both sides are ready, let us wait and see!!"

The ten players started walking to the player area one after another.

NIKO was still happy because of the host's control, and after hearing the end, he followed the large army to the back.

Then the other nine players on the stage were dumbfounded.

m0nesy looked at NIKO with a look of confusion: "Brother! Why are you here?"

NIKO came back to his senses, only then did he find that this G2 team uniform was too familiar, and he walked over subconsciously.

Realizing that he had made a big oolong, NIKO laughed awkwardly at the sky.

The COL group's eyes were all confused at this moment, and he even saw "Did we have a traitor?" meaning in Danking's face.

NIKO ran back in small steps, and then laughed: "Got used to walking with G2 team uniforms."

"Don't say it, you don't love me anymore." Xu Beifang had a sad expression.

NIKO shouted hurriedly: "No, no, little baby, I love you the most."

Danking's expression instantly turned into an old man playing with a mobile phone in the subway. Even if he knew these two goods were making trouble, goosebumps all over his body stood up.

"Alright, alright, go adjust the equipment quickly, this match today is not easy, do all the pre-match preparations." Coach Xiaoxi suddenly remembered something, and reminded at the end, "Remember to check the version driver, don't be affected by the driver after playing halfway."

He suddenly remembered what happened to device yesterday, and he didn't want this kind of thing to happen to his own team.

If such a wave happens in a key round, it would be too distressing.

The COL group also restrained their playfulness and started pre-match equipment debugging preparations.

……

The G2 group was also debugging equipment.

However, while adjusting the settings, they looked at NIKO on the opposite side in unison.

"I feel that NIKO has become more and more humorous after joining COL." hooxi smiled and said to hunter.

"Quite good." hunter, as a cousin, actually wanted to play brother CS with NIKO.

But he also knew that his performance was actually dragging NIKO down many times.

Now seeing NIKO join COL, having powerful teammates, and the state of the whole person seems to be much more relaxed, becoming a fun-loving direction.

He felt happy for NIKO from the bottom of his heart.

m0nesy on the side didn't speak, his mood was a bit complicated.

NIKO is the old brother on the professional road for him.

But now the old brother is gone, and even became his opponent today.

He wanted to see the old brother shine on the field again and get the glory that the 'NIKO' ID should get.

But today's match is a cruel playoff, and he also wants to take this group of teammates to win the championship.

He also doesn't want to let the teammates beside him down.

So, in the next match, he will go all out and use all his means to win.

And besides that, he was really curious about this former world's number one, CSGO personal ability ceiling player.

Constantly challenging oneself, constantly climbing toward higher peaks, isn't that the fun of CS?

So Nice, let me see your power... m0nesy looked at the opposite side of the stage, with burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

After both sides' equipment was adjusted, the BP of this match officially started under the reminder of the referee.

G2 got the first Ban right of this match, and they still Ban the maps they are not good at as usual.

In the past few months, Mirage has always been one of the maps they abandoned. Later, although A Du joined, A Du's Mirage level is not very strong, so they kept the original state unchanged.

"COL is also a regular Ban map, removing Anubis." Ma Xixi read the BP of the match lightly, "However, if both sides are default Ban maps, then there is some article to be done in BP."

"Because COL's town and G2's ruins were not banned, the order of appearance is worth talking about."

In the BO3 confrontation, the outcome of Map 1 is quite important, because this concerns the morale of the team later.

"Alas! G2 directly locked the town?" This result was a bit unexpected for Ma Xixi. After all, in his view, COL's town in this IEM is very terrifying, but G2 actually took the initiative to choose the town, this courage is really a bit big.

MO on the side added in time: "They actually should choose it too. In the past month, G2 played 11 towns and only lost one. They also have their own confidence in this map."

"Now it's needle-point to wheat-mang, both sides directly met head-on in the town!"

Ma Xixi nodded: "Map 1 is confirmed to be the town, then what will COL choose for Map 2?"

The thing that surprised him happened again, because COL's map pick this time is also unusual.

"Actually Vertigo?"

He was quite surprised. After all, in the group stage confrontation, COL's Vertigo was beaten by VP, which can be considered quite abstract.

But this time they took the initiative to choose it, which he didn't expect.

He feels that COL is not very rational, but G2 is a bit sweaty.

Vertigo, this map, G2 is not unable to play, but the level is a bit poor.

In the past month, they played three games while trying to avoid it, and lost three games.

This map G2 played very messily, and m0nesy's sniper rifle couldn't get the due performance, which was very uncomfortable.

COL's move put a lot of pressure on them.

Because this means that after the match enters Vertigo, their winning rate is extremely low.

COL removed another Ancient, leaving Overpass and Nuke for them to choose.

G2 finally left Nuke as Map 3.

Both sides' BP ended here, and the players entered the final preparation time.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the match is about to start!

PS: Explain the content about Valorant yesterday. The content about Valorant yesterday was the personal experience of the author and friends playing together. I love FPS games, so I am willing to try most FPS games, but maybe switching from CS to Valorant, Valorant's environment always gives me a sense of gap, really not blacking it.
