Chapter 485: 39 Karrigan is sweating!

~21 min read 4,122 words

When Xu Beifang got the first five-kill ACE of this match, he didn't look particularly excited, just raised his right fist high, showing his strength.

Even his teammates performed more excitedly than him; Danking and NiKo's actions at this moment were very exaggerated, but the audience's gaze was still attracted by Xu Beifang.

Even if he was just raising his fist so lightly, that simple action was full of the confidence unique to "Nice."

Countless spectators were captivated by this scene!

This is the unique charm of a star player, even if FaZe found opportunities in this critical round several times and took the advantage back.

But Nice was able to save the building from collapsing!

He was able to save the whole team with his individual ability!

【Warm-up is over, the real film begins!】

【No way, is this final so exciting right from the start today?】

【My mood now is like a roller coaster.】

【Player Nice has equipped the 'Ship Breaker' title in the final.】

【It's really burning up!】

【Danking and NiKo are shouting excitedly, as if everything has something to do with them, haha.】

【Add, add it fiercely!】

【Let's go Complexity!】

【……】

The spectators in the stands had fallen into complete madness; Complexity's wave of reverse chasing points in a desperate situation really had that feeling.

Jason Lake, as the owner of Complexity, also excitedly punched the air in the stands: "Well done, Nice!! Crush FaZe Clan for me, you have this ability!"

"Come on!"

He also didn't expect that by coming to the scene today, the players could give him such a big surprise.

They were beaten to 3:12 in the early stage, the team's morale was once low, and he thought map one was about to end.

But after that still outstanding 1V3 clutch, Xu Beifang issued a battle cry, and everything changed.

They kept chasing points, and now even entered overtime!

This is the charm of CS, as long as the game hasn't ended, anything is possible!

……

In the CSBOY live broadcast room, Ma Xixi became excited while commenting on the match.

"This Beifang's combat power is really strong! Complexity was already somewhat defeated in this point, but Beifang killed everywhere he went, what can he do?"

MO added: "And he has that protagonist destiny in this point. Look at where he goes, problems happen there, and he can immediately make up for it, responsibility completed!"

"Still have to look at Beifang!"

"Chasing from 3:12 to 12:12, this match today is too exciting!" MO said here, teasing in the voice chat, "But fortunately, Xixi, you didn't dare to make a professional judgment at 3:12, otherwise our title would have to be upgraded today."

Ma Xixi's eyes went black when he heard this.

He still remembered in 2019, because he made a professional judgment in Vitality's match, leading to nearly 20,000 skins being rolled out in the end.

Leading to them always having the title "Ma Twenty Thousand" later.

Ma Xixi laughed: "To be honest, I really wanted to make a judgment at that time, but I thought of Beifang in the team, so I chose to play it safe, you understand."

MO praised: "Top-level!"

"Now the pressure is on FaZe." MO explained with his own feelings, "The intensity of the final is very high, this kind of continuous point-taking is also quite a blow to morale. Now Complexity's players are constantly performing, FaZe is constantly frustrated, the morale is so low."

"They have been organizing attacks, but they are always frustrated in Beifang's hands, this is very discouraging."

If the FaZe players heard this from MO, they would definitely give MO a like.

Because their mood now was a bit broken.

12:12

The match enters overtime.

To put it in a way to convince themselves, they just lost the advantage, and they would just play the gun round back later.

But they couldn't convince themselves.

They finally got a huge advantage and were just one step away from ending map one, but were found an opportunity by that guy Nice, who activated all of Complexity.

Then, point by point, they relentlessly clawed back their entire advantage.

They had the heart to want to play it back later.

But after being beaten up by Complexity for 9 consecutive rounds, there was no confidence in saying this.

Finally, Karrigan, as the captain, spoke: "Being dragged into overtime by Complexity is a result none of us expected."

"But this is a CS match, we have staged countless miracles, winning against opponents in overtime battles. Although the process today is different, I think we will eventually get that result!"

The time for overtime was very short, so Karrigan just used short words to motivate his teammates, and then invested in the offensive and defensive confrontation.

Both sides entered the first half of the first overtime, the camp remained unchanged, Complexity was still the defensive side, while FaZe served as the attacking role.

In the gun round game of the first round where both sides had full armor and full utility, the early stage was just basic utility exchange.

The "World's Number One" brothers at B site played more steadily, not letting them find opportunities.

But Karrigan still didn't want to touch the "Nice" tiger's butt, because that guy Nice's hand feel was too outstanding, and he had already gotten 35 kills.

He chose to find the A site which was easier to break through.

Although they lost quite a few clutches at A site, the clutch problem was the clutch problem, they still attacked the bomb site many rounds at A site.

But they didn't expect that in this point, when attacking A site, they were played by Danking's sniper rifle.

In the process of personnel exchange in Mid, Danking's sniper rifle held 3 at A1 without dying, disrupting FaZe's attack rhythm, and delayed the rotation back of the B site CT, burying the first point of overtime.

Entering the second round of overtime.

Karrigan focused on A2, and after simply clearing A2, directly launched a wave of dry-pull flying building.

JKS stood under the Grass Car, this wave of head-on confrontation also held the pressure, easily brushing away two.

But the movement on his side also attracted the attention of others, Frozen caught the opportunity in Mid, and killed Elige who tried to rush out from the Connector smoke, Danking held the sniper rifle at A1, wanting to help JKS share the pressure.

But in this high-pressure state, he was tricked by Frozen's spin-jump, and shot a very extreme shot, but hit the leg.

This allowed the subsequent Frozen to rush to his face and trade him.

JKS at the Grass Car wanted to trade, but Rain at A2 just happened to rush out, causing him not to win the head-on confrontation.

2V2 clutch, Xu Beifang and NiKo also actively rotated back to try.

But in this point, FaZe chose a relatively bold double-Pit selection.

Using a one-sell-one-attack tactic.

This really made them not expect it, and finally this clutch was also collected by Rain.

The score was tied again.

The audience marveled at the intensity of the match.

And the FaZe members looked at the tied score, and had a bit of happiness in their hearts, but more was dissatisfaction.

Because if they took this point before overtime, the match would have ended long ago, so why would they need to rack their brains to play this overtime.

So their mood was instead relatively complex.

The third round of overtime was relatively chaotic.

FaZe tried A site in the early stage without success, wanting to turn to B to try, but JKS got a very good timing and took all the information of the side path.

This let Complexity get information in advance and reinforce in advance.

However, in this B site offensive and defensive confrontation, Rain and Frozen's gunplay performed again.

Leading to a chaotic battle of ultimate abstraction at the B site platform.

But although it was a chaotic battle, it looked abstract, it was also because the processing and reaction of the players on both sides were very fast, instead leading to some decisions and processing looking like C+.

However, the effect of the reinforced CT was ultimately greater, and the result of the chaotic battle was still Complexity taking the victory.

The first half of the first overtime ended, and the score reached 14:13.

According to the rules of overtime, they needed to take 4 rounds in a 6-round overtime.

Complexity had already taken two, which meant they needed to take at least 2 rounds in the 3 rounds after switching to the attacking side.

In the first gun round after switching sides, both sides had over 10,000 economy, so the utility was definitely maxed out.

NiKo gave the idea after consideration: "Banana doesn't need to be played so anxiously, Ji Ge, you two clear the second floor first, then take Banana control, finally my idea is to attack Mid with a speed attack, but let's see how the follow-up information goes."

NiKo still handed the power of mid-term decision-making to Xu Beifang.

Whether in training or matches, Xu Beifang had proven his powerful mid-term decision-making ability.

He could always keenly read the weak points of the opponent's defense, or infer the opponent's mistakes through information.

So at the start, they still controlled the map as usual.

NiKo, as the first position, didn't want the opponent to press out, so he gave a fire at the Barrel at the start, and also supplemented a grenade at the Stone Slab.

However, the opponent's desire to control the map was very strong, but NiKo also didn't intend to give the close point to the opponent, he directly threw a middle-segment smoke.

And in the subsequent process, he cooperated with Xu Beifang to explode the smoke.

But FaZe only gave two sets of utility on Banana, but didn't dare to actively push out.

Of course, there was also a possibility that they were persuaded to retreat by their utility.

"ropz is at the balcony, he is half-health." JKS sent information in the voice chat.

He simply had a wave of confrontation with ropz on the second floor, but it was a point-to-point stop, and didn't produce a kill.

They were all waiting for Xu Beifang's follow-up instructions.

Xu Beifang thought for a while: "You guys don't move on the second floor first, wait for an opportunity in place, I'll lead NiKo to actively clear Banana."

Xu Beifang led NiKo to push forward slowly.

But just at this time, a grenade exploded above the Barrel, Xu Beifang noticed that it was a grenade thrown from the first box.

This grenade was generally used by the defensive side to bleed the terrorists at the close point.

As long as their health was suppressed, the CT's gun disadvantage would be much smaller.

But at the same time this grenade was thrown, it also let Xu Beifang get an important piece of information—the close point of Banana was safe.

And returning to the back point not long after the start, this proved that there weren't many personnel guarding B site.

"NiKo, I have an idea." Xu Beifang took a breath, "It's just a bit dangerous..."

Before Xu Beifang could say what the idea was, NiKo responded: "You just arrange it, you are the team's commander."

Danking also opened his mouth: "You just give the order."

JKS also sent a "agree" radio.

Xu Beifang nodded and started to arrange.

……

"Karrigan and Frozen played very steadily, simply not giving Banana a chance to engage, Karrigan is also quite rational, he knows that his 5-2-1 record now simply can't beat the Banana monster on the opposite side, directly avoiding the battle!" Ma Xixi praised, "This wave is top-level!"

"The second floor here prepared a second-timing counter-clear, the flashbang is quite good, but JKS is very vigilant, retreated while blinded, this counter-clear didn't succeed."

"But where does Complexity intend to attack in this point?"

He was somewhat puzzled, because he saw Danking, who was carrying the bomb, moving back and forth between Banana and Mid.

MO on the side saw some content from the match UI: "Should be playing tactics, Tie Dan is transporting utility here."

Then in the next second, they saw another peculiar scene.

In the situation where Xu Beifang had already taken control of the Banana close point, NiKo gave a flashbang.

Made an action of terrorists clearing Banana in the second timing.

This action was a bit redundant, so they could only judge that it was information specially released to FaZe.

FaZe was still calm, after he released the information of grabbing the close point, there was still no follow-up action.

Xu Beifang saw Elige had reinforced, and signaled: "You guys explode the bomb one after another, Ji Ge, give the CT spawn smoke slowly, wait for him to shoot, then give it three seconds later."

NiKo and Elige walked according to Xu Beifang's thinking, the CT spawn smoke and Coffin smoke unfolded one after another.

The moment they saw the smoke grenade flying in the sky, Karrigan at the CT spawn immediately threw a B Tunnel smoke, cutting off the opponent's vision.

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

Everything was proceeding according to his speculation: "Go go go, the three of us hide in the smoke, JKS and Danking, you guys get ready, the explosive bomb is about to start."

The advance actions had all been completed, now it depended on whether FaZe would fall for it in the next wave!

Karrigan supplemented a B Tunnel smoke at the CT spawn, and then boldly came to the platform, but didn't find that the opponent had the intention to speed up.

His cautious personality gave him a trace of suspicion.

The detail of the two B site smoke grenades flying over just now floated in his mind again.

These two smoke grenades weren't given at the same time at all!

It was like one person finished throwing the Coffin smoke, then came over and threw a CT spawn smoke!

Plus the fact that someone had been counter-clearing A2 all along, this gave him a bad suspicion.

Just at this time, Rain's shout sounded in the voice chat: "A site exploded, the area under the Shed was burned, I can only retreat."

"The Connector was blocked, I didn't have a grenade to explode the smoke, I am retreating."

"Someone entered Mid."

In an instant, the sound of information transmission sounded in the voice chat.

Karrigan immediately shouted: "Broky, take the Connector, I'll reinforce the bomb site immediately and you go help."

He didn't directly let the team unfold a rotation back, because the bomb hadn't come out after all, and there were still about 50 seconds left, the opponent still had the possibility of rotating.

Frozen still had a full set of utility in his hand, if the opponent came to attack B, he still had time to delay.

Karrigan's rotation back left, and the audience at the scene started to boo.

From the commentator's analysis and God's eye view, they had already understood what Complexity wanted to do in this wave.

Nice commanded Complexity to pretend to "fake attack B," but actually it was a real attack!

Two commanders were frantically playing a chess match!

"A site is still pushing forward, JKS and Danking are making articles in Mid, and to make it more real, they even released footsteps."

"These few actions directly locked Karrigan in Mid, because there was a sniper rifle, they didn't dare to carry out a peek at will."

"But they didn't know at all that Complexity's attack focus in this point was at B site, three firepower points were hidden in the smoke grenade, the moment the smoke dissipated was the moment they revealed their fangs!"

Frozen returned to the CT spawn in the second timing, the Coffin smoke and CT spawn smoke had all dissipated.

He intended to side-strafe at the CT spawn; this position was very good for throwing utility to delay time.

The B Tunnel smoke still had a few seconds, he switched to a smoke grenade and side-strafed with his body to avoid being headshot by the terrorists near the Yellow Wall.

But side-strafing again, as the smoke grenade slowly dissipated, he realized something was wrong.

Nice, NiKo, Elige: Hello!

"Where did these people in B Tunnel come from!!" Frozen shouted desperately.

"Da da da!"

【Nice+NiKo used AK47 to kill Frozen】

Frozen's escape speed was fast enough, but he was guarding against the Yellow Wall, and didn't expect that people were hidden in the smoke grenade at the close point, and was directly trade-killed by Xu Beifang's spray-and-pray.

"FaZe all thought the opponent gathered in Mid and was about to carry out a slaughter at A site, they didn't expect the terrorist main force would choose to hide in the smoke, Frozen was directly eaten."

"And accompanied by Frozen being killed, B site was directly cleared, Ji Ge put the bomb down, the two buddies at A site didn't pretend anymore, JKS and Danking frantically ran away, as long as they could live, they could disgust FaZe!"

Ma Xixi marveled: "This Beifang is too good at chess, you thought I was fake attacking B, but my fake attack was all for you to see!"

Karrigan in the lens also froze for a moment, he thought his advance reinforcement was successful, and next, as long as the head-on gunplay could hold, the possibility of taking this point was extremely large.

But didn't expect, didn't wait for the news of the attack, B site was broken.

B site fell too fast, 4-on-5 rotation back, although the winning chance wasn't large, they still actively tried it, but the result wasn't ideal.

Because Complexity's members had already stood in gun positions, and then the discipline was maxed out, completely not giving them room for operation.

The score reached 15:13.

FaZe chose to call for the second tactical timeout.

Because overtime had already entered the match point, Complexity only needed to take one more point to really complete the feat of a comeback.

Karrigan needed to calm down temporarily, he pulled out a paper from the side and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Xu Beifang's mid-term tactics in this wave really gave him a cold sweat.

Because it was too bold!

The audience at the scene noticed this scene, and it was another piece of noise.

【Damn, Karrigan is sweating.】

【Complexity's tactics are indeed powerful, the guts are really big, if FaZe chose the conventional playstyle in this wave, then FaZe would have really taken it.】

【Karrigan thought he was already dark enough, didn't expect there were even higher masters.】

【After CS2 utility can be discarded, fake attack tactics have more patterns.】

【Beifang is too tactical!】

FaZe called for a tactical timeout, and the Complexity crowd was also discussing.

Seeing the match point appear on the screen again, everyone was somewhat excited.

This road of chasing points was very difficult, their heartstrings were all taut, now the victory of Inferno was right before their eyes, they were about to complete a feat of comeback, it was hard not to have mentality fluctuations.

Xu Beifang analyzed calmly: "They must be going all out, it's highly likely they will play a wave of advance pressure in this point, let's do a wave of anti-FaZe advance pressure formation in advance."

The current Complexity's combat power on this map Inferno wasn't just because the players' map proficiency was high, but more because they had quite sufficient tactical reserves on this map.

Since CS2, ropz researched a FaZe smoke that could block Mid, changing the ecology of this map.

But for how to counter this smoke grenade, Xu Beifang also spent quite a lot of time thinking.

And also researched a set of effective playstyles.

After the timeout, if FaZe didn't press forward, that was fine.

If they pressed forward, then Xu Beifang would let the opponent see his research results.

"Now it depends on what kind of tactics Karrigan can Call." Ma Xixi said, "The tactical chess match between FaZe and Complexity is very strong, and it also eats individual ability performance."

"Alright, ropz gave a FaZe smoke as usual at the start, four people went to A site!"

"Are they going to top out directly?" Ma Xixi cheered up, he was very hopeful that Complexity could finish this point in one go, otherwise this match might enter an overtime battle.

"The FaZe smoke was given in Mid, but no fire was given after the smoke, is it because they don't want Complexity to get information about their advance pressure?"

"But Complexity seems to have already captured it!"

Xu Beifang still threw a fire towards Banana as usual at the start, but the moment the fire was thrown, he jumped directly to the position sticking to the wall above the Sewer.

Danking reminded: "Beifang, I exploded the smoke, Ji Ge give flash!"

Both people's utility was thrown quickly.

The FaZe smoke was exploded, and the flashbang in Mid also released intense light, blinding the police holding the smoke.

Xu Beifang side-strafed out, instantly getting information on two people.

The one at the bottom corner on the left didn't need to be managed for now, because the position was locked.

He chose to kill the policeman who was fleeing at the T-junction in Mid first.

"Da da da!"

After a short spray killed him, Xu Beifang pulled the crosshair back, and directly killed the policeman at the bottom corner on the left too.

"FaZe thought their wave of unconventional advance pressure was top-level, but Complexity had already anticipated it, Mid exploded smoke to counter-clear, Beifang used a spray transfer to kill two!"

"But Rain side-strafed over from under VIP, trade-killed Beifang in the smoke, but JKS had already come over from the spiral stairs, he caught Rain's side and killed him!"

The cheers at the scene exploded, the arrival of the match point was like the bloody smell of a beast arena, stimulating every spectator.

Complexity's wave of anti-advance pressure in Mid instantly played a 1-for-3 result.

Most of the audience at the scene understood that this ups and downs Inferno was about to end.

But the FaZe fans below the stage were still looking forward to a miracle.

Complexity became excited in this confrontation, but Xu Beifang, who had become the fountain commander, made a mobilization, letting them calm down.

"Was there a flashbang at the side path just now?"

"Yes!" NiKo and JKS answered at the same time, JKS added quickly: "The opponent threw two grenades in a row, I was walking the spiral stairs, heard the flashbang, but it didn't affect me."

"Then one is at B site, one is throwing flashbangs at the Connector, directly gather and push towards A, then hold the Connector, 4-on-2 clutch, we don't rush."

Xu Beifang gave the order, and others followed his order.

Although it was already a numerical advantage, the more this was the case, the more cautious they had to be.

Jason Lake below the stage was nervous watching the movement of the personnel on the minimap.

He hoped to watch the team take FaZe down in one go, but reason told him Xu Beifang was right.

Now they couldn't rush, in case they were caught by FaZe's members to spray and kill a wave, that would be quite uncomfortable.

They were stuck silently in the Connector, while ropz at A site was somewhat at a loss.

Because the terrorist's movement completely disappeared, he felt that people might appear anywhere on the map.

And Frozen had rotated back to the CT spawn from Banana, but was worried that someone was holding the Connector, so he didn't dare to rotate back at will.

Their positioning was stuck like this.

As the sound of Complexity disappeared for too long, ropz finally chose to take the initiative.

"ropz is walking silently all the way, pushing forward at A1, he is worried that Complexity will turn around and attack Banana, then they really won't have a chance, he is carefully searching points, does he know that someone has entered the Connector!"

"He understands, ropz didn't dare to finish the magazine, but Complexity got the information and directly moved!"

"This position is going to be pinched, can he operate? Danking directly headshot him!"

"4-on-1! Frozen is still on the way to rotate back, but NiKo is directly stuck in the Library!"

"Frozen realized there might be someone in the Library, but he didn't win the fight!"

"The game is over!!"
