Chapter 478: 33Nice successfully transferred to Ziggs!

After the confrontation on Inferno, G2 also understood the hard strength of this COL lineup.

But they still didn't expect their most familiar old teammate to explode, forcefully turning the situation back.

Originally, after this round ended, they should have tied the score and, borrowing the momentum of taking consecutive points, started to turn the situation around.

But NIKO's explosion made them all show helpless smiles on their faces.

As expected of NIKO...

As teammates who had experienced storms together, even if they are former teammates now, they know NIKO's ability.

Even if the Desert Eagle had betrayed NIKO before, they had never doubted NIKO's ability with the Desert Eagle.

Now that this clutch was played, from their own perspective, they were a bit uncomfortable; after all, they were turned around by a few short guns from COL in the gun round.

But standing from the identity of friends or former teammates, they were happy for NIKO.

Because that Desert Eagle Prince who made the whole world afraid was finally back.

Inside the G2 battle room, dupreeh raised his right hand and was trying hard to encourage them: "NIKO's Desert Eagle played very well, but we can't be looked down upon by them. Don't be discouraged because of the failure of this round. Just keep playing and turn the situation back for me!"

These words at least brought a lot of fighting spirit to m0nesy.

Now in front of two former idols, he couldn't let them look down on him.

When they focused their attention on the match again, the confrontation on the field became intense.

Although m0nesy's feel for the game was excellent and his fighting spirit was maxed out, he unknowingly walked on the path of his two former idols.

He stably got kills every round, but the difficulty of taking the round was extremely high!

Only when he and dupreeh were exerting force at the same time did G2 have hope of taking points.

The scales of victory were unknowingly tilting toward COL.

Finally, at the end of the first half, the score was locked at 8:4.

"Still have to be dupreeh who withstood the pressure, otherwise this final round would have almost been taken away by Beifang's 1v3." Ma Xixi laughed, "In that case, G2 would really not have many chances."

MO also laughed on the side: "Now the score is 8:4, the same script as Map 1, but the process is not the same."

As he was saying this, the director put out the stats of the first half.

If they weren't put out, everyone's feeling about each player's performance was actually just a subconscious feeling.

Now that it was on the table, the netizens were instantly a bit unable to hold it.

COL's stats were actually okay, quite average.

Since that Desert Eagle reversal, NIKO's feel for the game seemed to have been activated, getting the most kills on COL's side.

The halftime stat was 13 kills and 8 deaths.

Following closely was Elige, whose stat was 11 kills and 6 deaths.

Xu Beifang was rarely at the bottom this time, putting up a stat of 8 kills and 4 deaths.

It wasn't that Xu Beifang didn't actively rush forward, but because the timing was a bit off, plus NIKO and Ji Ge rushed too fiercely, he couldn't see anyone at all.

But overall, their stats were quite average, with everyone around 10 kills.

Then looking at G2's side.

As the number one, m0nesy put up the highest stats of the whole match, scoring 19 kills and 9 deaths, and his ADR was as high as 131.1.

His ADR didn't look high, but you have to know that m0nesy is a sniper, and the ADR of snipers is generally lower than that of riflemen.

But he still blasted out the highest ADR of the whole match in the first half.

And looking closely at G2's stats, the netizens in the stream were even more unable to hold it.

【The kid is really imprisoned】

【dupreeh, the red wine bottle, and the pizza, the three of them combined don't have as many kills as the kid alone】

【The kid says he really can't carry, Lao Ni, can you come back?】

【dupreeh is easier to talk about, often saving guns, and can trade a few when fighting head-on, but nexa is really not a human, he's been smashed head-on many times】

【dupreeh originally thought he was here for a vacation, didn't expect to come to sit in jail】

【Kid: Walk the path Ni walked】

Inside the COL voice chat, they were also discussing this situation.

"m0nesy is really ruthless. If you don't look at the score, I would have thought we were tied in the first half." Danking said his feelings in the first half.

Xu Beifang shook his head: "Killing so fiercely, besides being easy to make highlight reels, doesn't have any particularly big effect."

"How so?" Danking was a bit puzzled.

Xu Beifang pointed to NIKO and Elige: "These two guys should also understand."

Elige agreed with Xu Beifang's point of view and considered for half a moment: "He killing so fiercely shouldn't be the case. As a sniper, he got too many kills, which proves that G2's current system has big problems. At the very least, more than two people are invisible."

He had deep feelings about this. After the peak Liquid disbanded in 2019, he became a famous "Lao Wang" in North America.

Even if he tried his best to kill frantically, the significance wasn't very big.

Encountering teams with worse levels, then he alone exerting force is indeed okay.

But if encountering teams of the same level, or even teams better than them, the result of one person exerting force is just one person silently "red heating" (tilting).

Two people exerting force is just long-term pain; you need three people to exert force to have a chance to win.

Take their first half as an example. He and NIKO had maxed out front-line firepower, and Danking and JKS were also exerting force. In this situation, Xu Beifang, as the team's core, only needed to throw utility to assist their offense.

So their overall kill count was quite average.

"If they want to win against us in the second half, unless hunter also stands up to exert force, otherwise just relying on m0nesy and dupreeh is useless." NIKO, as a "Lao Wang" senior, also expressed his point of view.

Xu Beifang smiled: "The current G2 looks like combat power is maxed out, but firepower is insufficient, so it will always be a bit lacking."

"If G2 wants to make a name for themselves, either hunter and nexa's state recovers, or it's a major overhaul of personnel."

During the short halftime break, several people chatted and pulled skin for a while.

But when the break was about to end, Xu Beifang still reminded: "Although G2's combat power isn't particularly strong, we shouldn't give them a chance. Even if their combat power isn't strong now, CS is ultimately a game that can create miracles."

"Don't give the opponents a chance, come on, come on! Take another 5 points, and tomorrow we'll go on stage to play the finals!"

Simple motivation made the players look serious. Danking even shouted "Let's go!!" excitedly, which made everyone laugh again.

Amidst the cheering, the COL group put their attention back on the match.

The second half of the match began.

The setup for the pistol round for COL was a 311 formation, with the main force at A area, Danking left at Mid to scout, and JKS hanging alone at B area.

And in this pistol round, G2 also chose to execute an explosive bomb attack on A in the second timing.

But in this wave of explosive bomb attacks, G2 threw a special smoke grenade.

They didn't care about A-small, but threw a smoke grenade on the left side of the bomb site, an A-link smoke, and a fire at the sniper position. They directly used utility to separate the entire bomb site.

And then they didn't care about A-small, directly planted the bomb, and operated by holding the A slope.

This playstyle is quite fresh, but G2 still lacked some consideration. Without A-small control, it's very difficult to defend just by relying on the A slope.

In the end, in a wave of crazy firefights, G2 only traded two kills before being broken one by one.

COL successfully took the pistol round of the second half, and the score reached 9:4.

But for G2, although they didn't take the pistol round, they planted the bomb, which gave them the qualification to force buy and fight with guns.

In this round, they invested a lot of utility at the A slope, creating an illusion of a strong attack on the A slope, and then G2 directly followed the customs and played a mysterious Eastern "dry peek" in the second timing.

But JKS at B didn't even react, and was directly killed by G2's crazy firepower.

The rest of COL immediately started to rotate back, but G2's utility deployment was too fast. After consideration, Xu Beifang issued an order to save guns.

JKS actively spoke up: "My bad, I didn't expect them to sneak up silently the whole way this wave."

G2's silent contact was played quite beautifully this wave. Because JKS was solo B, he had been scouting by holding the timing, but he didn't expect the opponents to really catch the timing and sneak up.

He only got information when the opponents reached the near point, which led to the B site falling too fast.

After killing him, G2 quickly occupied various gun positions, and the others didn't even have a chance to rotate back.

"Small problem." Xu Beifang didn't care.

Elige suggested: "Why don't I come over to assist B? The pressure on him alone at B is indeed a bit too great."

Xu Beifang shook his head: "Still let JKS solo B. He just needs to play scouting. Ji Ge, you and I will push Mid."

G2's movements were too fast and too sensitive in the previous round, which made him think of a possibility.

G2 was too familiar with JKS's positioning. They knew COL liked to put forces at A point, so they might target JKS heavily.

But this was just a thought that flashed through his mind.

He felt G2 wouldn't do it so exaggeratedly. After all, if G2 really wanted to target, they should focus their attention on him and NIKO, and shouldn't pay so much attention to a "non-core member" like JKS.

Not to mention G2 shouldn't have done any preparation for this map Vertigo.

So Xu Beifang didn't put heavy forces at the B area, but took Elige to Mid to look for opportunities.

"You guys control the map at A as usual, don't play too aggressively. After our first wave ends, we should go over to help you." Xu Beifang reminded.

After getting the reply from NIKO and the others, he took Elige and walked toward Mid.

Xu Beifang specifically let Elige save a wave of utility, so they played relatively aggressively at Mid in the early stages.

Xu Beifang peeked out silently in a half-body position head-on, and Elige was backing up with a flashbang, ready to trade at any time.

The opponents didn't have the idea of forcefully grabbing Mid in the first timing, and the information from A point was also orderly map control.

Xu Beifang saw this situation and said: "Ji Ge, no need to leave. We'll double-boost at Mid. If there's movement at B area, JKS, you say it immediately, and we'll rotate to reinforce."

JKS said: "I'm scouting next to the White Box. If I see anyone, I'll throw a smoke."

His gun wasn't very good this round, so he intended to play the "calling for help" route more.

"Here it comes, nexa is sneaking Mid alone. He is pre-aiming slowly, but COL has set up a combo at Mid. Can he think of it?"

Xu Beifang clearly saw the Terrorist appearing in his field of vision sway, but before he could make the next move, the bullets from him and Elige melted the Terrorist.

【Nice+Elige killed nexa with an M4A1】

"nexa went solo and was caught. COL successfully secured the first kill of this round. Then actually, JKS can be called over to pick up a gun."

"But G2 is plotting something under the B slope!! JKS is still scouting, but two HE grenades are heading straight for him!"

JKS was swaying behind the White Box holding the timing to get information. Just as he wanted to praise, he saw two unidentified objects flying toward his face.

He hurriedly wanted to slip away backward, but the HE grenades had already exploded, hitting his body accurately in succession, killing him.

【hooxi+hunter killed JKS with a HE grenade】

"There are at least two under the B stairs. They directly blew me up." JKS quickly reported the situation.

JKS thought there were two, but Xu Beifang didn't think so.

The Terrorists had very little movement at the A slope, and these guys under the B stairs were clearly prepared. These two grenades directly sent JKS away.

That meant they couldn't stop their actions.

"NIKO, you two rotate back directly! B area is going to speed up!" Xu Beifang immediately issued orders and took Ji Ge to reinforce the B area.

But G2's explosive bomb action was faster than they imagined. Several smokes were deployed head-on, making them unable to get any vision at all.

dupreeh, who had already rushed into the bomb site, searched roughly, and seeing no one at the bomb site, he let his guard down.

In this place at B area, as long as you can take it down in the first wave and don't get carried away looking for people to kill afterward, it's very easy to win by relying on crossfire.

There are too many covers that can be used for defense in this place.

The front was successfully taken, and he also directly started to plant a safe bomb.

But he didn't know that near the CT Spawn, Xu Beifang and Elige were already ready, just waiting for the moment he planted the bomb.

"dupreeh didn't know that COL didn't intend not to rotate back, but had already prepared a counter-measure!"

"The moment he planted the bomb, the thrower at the CT Spawn was already ready!"

"Can they blow him up?"

The audience at the scene started to boo when they saw Xu Beifang and Elige's actions.

dupreeh was kneeling on the ground quietly entering the C4 password, but suddenly two unidentified objects flew over.

He only heard two "boom" "boom" sounds.

【Elige+Nice killed hooxi with a HE grenade】

hunter, who was holding an angle on the side, gasped, because he was just holding an angle on the side, but he was also blown to half health!

And another incendiary grenade flew over, directly scaring him into slipping away backward!

With this half health, being burned by the fire twice would probably kill him directly.

m0nesy near the White Box realized something was wrong and hurriedly gave a smoke grenade, directly extinguishing the fire.

"hunter, you plant the bomb, otherwise the opponents' rotation will all be in place."

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for them.

hunter also understood the urgency, directly entered the smoke to pick up the bomb, and then changed an angle to plant it.

m0nesy also held his gun to guard against the possibility of a flash-bang strong push from the front. He didn't need to worry about the back for the time being; dupreeh was holding it for him.

And from an angle he couldn't see, Xu Beifang had already received a HE grenade from Danking and started aiming again.

Hearing the bomb-planting sound again, Xu Beifang threw it directly.

The HE grenade drew a perfect arc in the air and exploded directly in the middle of the bomb site.

"Boom!"

The HE grenade exploded the smoke grenade at the bomb site, leaving only two corpses under the smoke to prove what had happened.

【Nice+Elige killed hunter with a HE grenade】

"Woohoo!!!" Danking's face was crooked with laughter, "You really have it, Beifang!"

Originally it was a difficult 4v4 clutch, but under the performance of the thrower Beifang, it had become a 4v2 clutch.

And the opponents hadn't even planted the bomb yet.

This clutch directly turned the offensive!

m0nesy, seeing the moment the HE grenade flew over, had only one thought in his heart.

Finished!

His intuition was sharp. COL didn't even choose to act after killing two people in succession.

Instead, they waited for a timing. m0nesy saw a high flash fly out, the young man's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he subconsciously turned his back to the flashbang.

But the moment he turned his head, he saw three people already holding him, and he was instantly killed.

Only dupreeh was left near the B stairs. He wanted to operate, but only traded one.

10:5

"Nothing more to say. COL's rotation back this wave was played too brilliantly, completely playing G2 to death by relying on utility." Ma Xixi said he watched it very coolly. This kind of "demolition expert" style kill is considered quite rare in professional matches.

MO added on the side: "G2 was thinking of quickly occupying the B area and planting the bomb, then this B area would be very easy to play."

"But the prerequisite is to plant the bomb. Although this B area is easy to defend, the bomb is not easy to plant. There are only so many places to plant the bomb. This is Beifang's map understanding!"

Ma Xixi laughed: "I guess G2 people are dumbfounded. They finally caught an opportunity head-on, only to be killed by utility."

The director seemed to hear what he said and gave the camera to the G2 player area.

At this moment, in the G2 player area, the expressions of the players weren't rich. m0nesy, as a young man, let out a long sigh.

This round was quite uncomfortable for him, but he also knew he was a star player on the team and couldn't pass on bad emotions to his teammates, so he still actively bumped fists with his teammates.

As for the others, although they didn't hang their emotions on their faces, their actions and expressions all wrote "uncomfortable."

For G2, the only good news was that they still had an economy and could play another gun round.

On COL's side, everyone was celebrating the victory of the previous round.

After celebrating, Xu Beifang said to JKS: "JKS, pay attention. Those G2 guys should have studied your DEMO. They know your conventional positioning too well and are targeting you."

NIKO laughed on the side: "It shouldn't be targeting, maybe it's just too familiar. JKS's positioning is relatively formulaic."

JKS was also embarrassed when he heard this.

There are only a few good defensive positions in the small area, and having lived with G2 day and night before, it's only natural to be remembered by old teammates.

"I know, I'll actively change positions."

Failing to defend the B area for two consecutive rounds, although there were reasons, he had to adjust back quickly and couldn't let himself become a breakthrough point for the team.

After Xu Beifang finished reminding, NIKO saw he had no further thoughts and arranged the ideas for the next round: "They suffered at the B area, so the focus should be on the A area next. We must withstand the first wave of offense at A area, and then operate slowly."

"We have more utility than them this round, so we don't have to be so anxious."

NIKO issued his orders. Xu Beifang saw Danking carrying the sniper rifle out, so he shouted: "Egg, give me the sniper for a wave. You don't have a chance to fire in the first spawn, so just cover me from behind."

"I finally saved up money to get a sniper..." Danking was a bit speechless, but still threw the sniper to Xu Beifang.

Because they had plenty of utility in their hands, their first wave of utility at A slope was very sufficient.

G2 didn't play an unconventional speed-up either, giving them the early A slope control.

Inside the CSBOY stream, Ma Xixi saw that both sides didn't have any special actions and began to analyze slowly.

"Both sides are playing normal offense and defense. G2 has started to meet moves with moves and doesn't dare to play randomly."

"In the second timing, Beifang cooperated with NIKO to actively explode the smoke, but the opponent also pushed back the smoke grenade and didn't let them get any information."

"m0nesy also carried a sniper rifle, and Beifang also took a sniper, but why is he standing at the Sandbag?" Ma Xixi was a bit puzzled.

The former Tyloo captain MO explained: "Because he has to guard against the opponent mixing through the smoke to catch NIKO, so he is backing up at the Sandbag. As long as the opponent speeds up, he can pull out from the Sandbag to provide cover and save NIKO's life, or at least provide cover, and then use the Sandbag as cover to operate."

Although his articulation wasn't as clear as Ma Xixi's, MO saw the game theory in professional matches more clearly.

Both sides were waiting for an opportunity. As the A slope smoke dissipated, CTs and Terrorists threw flashbangs at each other to demand gun positions and scout the opponent's information.

m0nesy noticed a flashbang thrown out from A-small, and his attention was entirely on the Yellow Cloth.

But he was on the far left of the 50th floor, and this angle was a bit incomplete, so he actively moved to the right.

And what he didn't expect was that just as he made a move, he saw a sniper rifle move out from the Sandbag in his peripheral vision.

"—Bang!"

【Nice killed m0nesy with an AWP】

m0nesy's reaction was fast, but in the end, he couldn't fire that shot.

"It just so happened that the kid's pre-aiming was on the Yellow Cloth, which instead allowed Beifang to catch the opportunity and get the first kill!"

"Beifang got the kill, but didn't intend to retreat, instead changing an angle and continuing to hold under the 50th floor."

"G2 didn't intend to let it go either. In the second timing, they cleared out with a flash, and Beifang sniped one while blinded, but was also traded by dupreeh."

"However, the problem isn't big, because Beifang's mission has been completed."

When Xu Beifang got the kill at the A slope, NIKO and Danking were actually already moving back.

Because Xu Beifang basically liberated the defense of the A area, but they didn't expect the opponents to come again in the second timing.

Danking hurriedly turned back silently, and NIKO directly threw a flashbang for Danking.

"G2 is speeding up directly, but COL also turned back. NIKO threw a flash to send Danking to counter-clear. The flashbang effect wasn't good, but the timing was quite good!"

"Danking killed one, sprayed and transferred to kill another. dupreeh finally provided the trade, but he's the only one left!"

"He still wants to continue playing this clutch, but he couldn't beat NIKO in the head-on duel."

The score reached 11:5, and dupreeh leaned painfully on the gaming chair.

He was truly helpless.

Every stage of this A slope offense required several people to die. Just when there was finally a chance, COL had subsequent preparations.

The opponent's decision-making speed was also a bit too fast.

He had been exerting force throughout this Vertigo match, but he still had a feeling of powerlessness.

And now the worst thing had come: they didn't have much economy left.

Under dupreeh's command, they bought some short guns, intending to go find trouble with the former G2 player JKS again.

Originally, they didn't have much hope for this round.

But at such a critical moment, hunter stood up and killed Elige, who was pushing the B stairs, with a Desert Eagle. While making people sigh at the Desert Eagle bloodline, G2 also excitedly launched a speed-up action.

Although Elige was killed with one shot, Xu Beifang at Mid also got the information that G2 was preparing to speed up at the B slope. He quickly aimed.

Excellent map-running ability gave him some strange utility.

Most of the time, these strange utility items are useless, but the moment they are really used, the effect is definitely huge.

Xu Beifang first stuck to the long white board at Mid, and then quickly aimed at the wall.

After confirming the aiming point was correct, he threw the incendiary grenade and HE grenade directly with a jump-throw.

(This set of aiming utility actually comes from a playstyle of Team X, but I searched and couldn't find it, so I could only run the map myself and get a rough one)

"Ji Ge was killed by hunter head-on, JKS turned and slipped away, because he knew there was no need to fight now. Delaying until his teammates rotated back was the right way. If he died, the B area might have been taken again."

"But G2 has already started moving... sigh, Beifang threw a fire from Mid, and another one..."

"Ah!!!?"

At this moment, Ma Xixi and the exclamation at the scene reached an astonishing consistency.

G2's economy this round wasn't much. Except for m0nesy, the others didn't even buy half-armor.

Xu Beifang's HE grenade exploded at the bottom of the B slope at an extremely fast speed, and it also happened to explode in their crowd.

From the perspective of the spectator UI, it was terrifying, worthy of being called a "health strip disappearance technique!"

This scene had extreme visual impact, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.

And it wasn't just that, because Xu Beifang had thrown an incendiary grenade down before, this HE grenade slowed down everyone in G2. In an instant, they were all COSPLAYING Olaf!

Immediately afterward, in the cheers of the audience, kill messages popped up crazily in the upper right corner.

【Nice killed m0nesy with an incendiary grenade】

【Nice killed hooxi with an incendiary grenade】

【Nice+Elige killed nexa with an incendiary grenade】

【Nice killed hunter with an incendiary grenade】

【Nice killed dupreeh with an incendiary grenade】

Immediately afterward, the MVP settlement of the match appeared in the middle of the screen.

【MVP: Nice eliminated the most enemies】

【Nice dealt 456 utility damage this round, and is playing his MVP victory song for all players~】

"Holy Crab!! Beifang's set of rotation utility, what kind of atomic bomb precision strike!!" Ma Xixi was laughed at, "This G2 just thought they caught an opportunity and wanted to speed up, only to be killed by his set of utility!"

"WGNLS! Beifang has transferred to Ziggs today, this HE grenade is too damn outrageous!"

In the eyes of some support players, using utility to produce kills is a wonderful thing.

And using utility to directly kill all five people on the opponent's side is something that only appeared in dreams.

In the world of CS, utility producing kills is mostly a pleasant surprise.

But this pleasant surprise is a bit too exaggerated!

The audience at the scene was completely excited, and the whole venue was shouting "Nice."

And the stream was also completely crazy!

【This is definitely the most painful HE grenade】

【Beifang, I'll V you 50, let me play this round, okay?】

【Really a health strip disappearance technique】

【Pity there's no Electronic, otherwise it would be a world-famous painting】

【What did my A-Dian do to you! (Angry)】

【Broad-area bombing is being deployed!!】

【Haha, the COL side is all laughing, Coach Xiaoxiao is happy】

JKS was still nervously running for his life, and the others' emotions were all tense, rushing back to reinforce frantically.

But they didn't expect a wave of screen-clearing in the upper right corner, and then Xu Beifang's five incendiary grenade kill messages appeared.

They also let out a shout from the bottom of their hearts along with the audience at the scene: "Ah?"

"Really?"

"This can work too?"

"Your fire is a bit outrageous, okay"

"Beifang, why don't you stop buying guns in the future? We four will buy grenades for you, you just blow up the opponents at the start and that's it."

COL's atmosphere was quite active, and a group of people were all a bit unable to hold it regarding Xu Beifang's "peculiar" kills this round.

At this time, Danking couldn't help but look at the opposite side of the stage.

As a famous comedy master in the CS world, dupreeh directly spread his hands, and then a helpless bitter smile appeared on his face.

Danking also couldn't hold it; the opponents were laughed at.

G2 was indeed very difficult to accept. The previous gun round was turned around by Xu Beifang using a HE grenade.

Although this round wasn't a critical round, they finally caught an opportunity, but were still blown up by Xu Beifang.

This didn't even give them a chance to duel, which was really torturing their mindset.

However, they were finally able to empathize with Electronic.

After all, such unlucky things are the norm for Electronic.
