Chapter 487

"This round was a breeze for COL, but the match is about to enter the first long-gun round. Let's see how Faze and COL handle this one."

In Map 1, COL also took the first three rounds before chasing the score, so it's hard not to suspect if the script of Map 1 will repeat itself.

If that really happens, it'll be a huge joke.

The first long-gun round unfolded, and NIKO gave a slightly special instruction: "For the first round, we'll give up Outside and defend, then Danking can pull out the sniper rifle, and we'll unfold our play around the Sanlou area."

"Beifang, go hang out in K1."

"For this round, if there's timing, we can play more proactively. I feel like Faze is planning to execute a tactic; if we seize the opportunity, we can proactively break their setup."

Nuke is a map that relies heavily on experience. Formulaic defense is quite disadvantageous on this map; both commanders need to constantly play mind games and pull each other.

NIKO considered that in the first long-gun round, the opponents had a lot of utility, so it would be hard to suppress Outside.

So giving up Outside and putting Xu Beifang into K1 was a good choice.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang followed NIKO's plan and entered K1 directly from the Iron Plate.

He slowly pushed out from K1, intending to coordinate with NIKO's flashbang at the second timing to take a peek at the information near the Red Box Outside.

However, he received quite a bit of information from NIKO again; Faze didn't throw the first-line smoke Outside at the start, which meant their offensive focus wasn't Outside.

This made Xu Beifang step back and head directly toward the Iron Plate.

But just then, the sound of crossfire came from the Terrorist Hall, and a kill notification appeared in the top right corner.

【Broky used an AK47 to headshot and kill Elige】

"There are two people in the Terrorist Hall, I lost the duel." Elige reported the situation.

He saw the opponents' utility throw was a bit off and proactively looked for an angle to scrape information from the Terrorist Hall, but he didn't expect the opponents to be prepared, and he was directly held and killed.

With his entry kill given away, Xu Beifang immediately rotated from K1 to reinforce the Iron Plate: "Danking, you two go directly to help the Inner Site, JKS and I will defend the Iron Plate."

The offensive side hadn't made any moves Outside, so the pressure on the Inner Site and Iron Plate was relatively higher.

Danking heard Xu Beifang's instruction and communicated with NIKO at the Main Entrance: "Old Ni, let's push the Iron Door together. I'll use the AWP to push, you cover me at any time."

The two communicated quickly and began their action.

In a 4-on-5 disadvantageous situation, actively looking for dueling opportunities is a very wise decision.

"NIKO is frantically wallbanging inside the Iron Door from the Main Entrance, and Danking is holding the sniper rifle to slowly push inside the Iron Door, but the problem is that people could come from both sides of the Iron Door. Can Danking get a kill this time?"

Ma Xixi lowered his voice: "Tie Dan silently peeks to the right, and Karrigan also threw utility. He got the information, but Karrigan's movement just happened to shake into Danking, causing the wallbang shot to hit but not kill!"

"Danking himself was also hit down to half health, and NIKO wanted to cover from the Main Entrance but was directly suppressed back by Broky's pre-fire."

"Beifang is moving from the Sanlou toward the Warehouse at the second timing. He is still worried that someone Outside might catch the timing to sneak up on NIKO."

"But looking at Faze's actions, they seem to be planning a direct explosive execute!"

With a numerical advantage, Faze considered it for a long time and decided to keep it simple, directly pushing through A Site relying on trade kills.

Seeing the Pipe smoke COL threw, they mixed directly into it, and as the Main Entrance smoke and Pipe fire were thrown, Faze's offensive directly started!

Because Xu Beifang wasn't watching Outside at the second timing, NIKO chose to retreat to the Dead Pipe to defend.

This position allowed him to form a simple link with Danking on the bomb site.

But the Dead Pipe position is most afraid of the Dead Pipe fire thrown by the opponents.

And this time, Faze happened to throw this fire to speed up.

NIKO was directly burned out and immediately fired pre-fire toward the Iron Door.

But he didn't see anyone the first time he pulled out, only a cloud of smoke.

He subconsciously wanted to escape the range of the incendiary grenade first.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he moved, two people rushed out of the smoke and shot him.

Xu Beifang reinforced from the Sanlou. Facing the opponents' speed-up, he used a fire to force the Terrorist in the Yellow Room out, and then easily killed Han Wang with a burst.

"There's only one in the Yellow Room, they might be going down the Pipe, JKS, watch out!" Xu Beifang said as he started walking from the Sanlou toward the Iron Plate.

The main force of the opponents was now concentrated near the Pipe, and the possibility of them going down directly was extremely high.

Danking heard this information and also carried his AWP, slowly creeping toward the Pipe.

"Danking's AWP picked one, but he was immediately traded. Beifang thought the opponents were rotating to B, but in reality, Faze was hitting A. However, his position has already been exposed, and now he can only wait for JKS, who is flanking, to make a move."

Xu Beifang's position is known, now it's just a matter of whether JKS can catch the timing.

If he can catch the timing, then Xu Beifang's position can be revitalized.

JKS silently snuck out from the Yellow Room, but didn't see any Terrorists on the bomb site at first glance.

He started looking for an angle, but just as he looked elsewhere, someone instantly peeked out from the bomb site.

His position was locked down.

JKS could only roughly pre-aim and use pre-fire to fight.

"Bang bang!"

【Broky used an AK47 to headshot and kill JKS】

"There's one on the bomb site, I tapped his head." JKS said helplessly. The disadvantage in weaponry is always very frustrating; even if he gave Broky a headshot first, he was ultimately counter-killed.

"There should be another one left with low health, I should have hit him when I pushed the Iron Door earlier." Danking reminded him.

NIKO pursed his lips; another long-gun round about to be taken by Faze gave him an ominous feeling.

However, even with two low-health opponents, this clutch was still not easy to play.

After all, Xu Beifang's position on the Sanlou was already locked down, and the opponents only needed to watch the Sanlou.

Although he had specifically bought a defuse kit, even if he moved to the Main Entrance, there wasn't much room for operation.

Xu Beifang took a deep breath and adjusted his sitting posture slightly.

The Sanlou position is an extremely disadvantageous dueling spot, and the remaining three Faze players had too many positions to choose from.

So his focus had to be even more concentrated.

NIKO noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xu Beifang's face was already almost sucked into the screen.

This iconic action made his own heart calm down as well.

After Xu Beifang adjusted, he first strafed to take a look near the Pipe.

The smoke near the Pipe hadn't dissipated yet, which meant that position was temporarily not a threat to him.

At least he didn't see anyone aiming at him from that direction at first glance.

At the same time, the sound of the bomb being planted and the sound of utility being thrown rang out simultaneously.

Xu Beifang immediately realized this was an opportunity. He took a big step to the front right and saw the Terrorist at his feet switching weapons; he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Tat-tat-tat!"

【Nice+JKS used an M4A1 to headshot and kill Broky】

With one burst directly taking down Broky, Xu Beifang immediately shrank back, because the opponent knew his position.

When one person is planting, the other has a chance to cover.

As he pulled back, he lost quite a bit of health from the HE grenade Broky threw, but at the same time, his peripheral vision allowed him to see the Terrorist near the Pipe.

"Tat-tat!"

Bullets passed through the position where he had just been standing. If Xu Beifang had been half a second slower, he might have been traded already.

But fortunately, his clear thinking allowed him to find a glimmer of hope in this clutch.

After adjusting, he didn't directly peek the Terrorist at the Pipe, but instead held the right side of the bomb site pillar.

Because the Terrorist at the Pipe's position was already exposed, if Faze intended to play cooperatively, it would be more reasonable for the bomb planter to come over to cover.

However, he held for two seconds, and the bomb planter didn't make any moves.

Xu Beifang pre-aimed at the wall and then directly did a crouch-peek to the right.

Karrigan hid immediately, mainly because he didn't really dare to duel Xu Beifang.

After all, in this 3-on-1 clutch, all three of them were low on health.

That guy Nice had already proven his firepower to them on Map 1; he didn't want to win this round through dueling at all, dragging out time by relying on numerical advantage was enough.

But he didn't expect that Nice would still find an opportunity.

Xu Beifang took out the tactical paper to show them: "In the last three months, their level on Nuke hasn't been very good, only a 33% win rate, but they still picked it..."

ropz's position was very poor, so he could only help ropz scout from the Pipe direction.

And then, in an instant, he saw Xu Beifang on the Sanlou come out in a sliding motion.

Karrigan immediately wanted to run to the side, but the bullets moved faster than the person!

"Tat-tat-tat!"

【Nice+Danking used an M4A1 to kill Karrigan】

"Beifang caught the world's number one utility user in the middle of throwing utility! He pulled out and directly traded him. Karrigan hurried over to cover, the bomb was considered planted, but he's pushing hard from the Sanlou!" Ma Xixi was shocked, "What! Karrigan couldn't beat him either! Can Karrigan not even do this?"

MO added: "Now we know the last one is on the bomb site, it's 1v1 bullfighting time between Beifang and the owner of the 911!"

The rustling sounds from the venue gradually rose; they didn't seem too excited because the clutch wasn't over yet.

However, Xu Beifang's two consecutive kills had stirred up all their emotions.

They were a bit surprised; old players all knew what a hellish position the Sanlou of Nuke was.

Too many miracles and tragedies had been staged in this place.

But the ID "Nice" was, in itself, an ID that excelled at creating miracles.

So they started looking forward to it again.

Xu Beifang stood on the Sanlou, constantly moving in small increments.

Although the opponent didn't go far after planting the bomb, based on his judgment, ropz wouldn't stay in the same spot.

Because of the vision issue, he had the opportunity to enter the bomb site or run into the Yellow Room.

So this clutch wasn't easy to play.

If ropz entered the bomb site, he was very likely right under his feet now.

This high-to-low position is not easy to play, which made it a bit difficult.

So Xu Beifang was scouting the bomb site information bit by bit, constantly shaking his body.

The only consolation now was that he had a defuse kit, so he didn't have to rush for time.

During another shake, he successfully saw the Terrorist at his feet, and both sides instantly engaged in a rapid crossfire.

But Xu Beifang wasn't in a hurry, retreating while firing.

Since the position was locked, the one who was passive now was ropz.

The teammates beside him clenched their fists, watching the bullfight on the screen nervously.

Although they all understood, it was hard to say who could win the micro-maneuvers next.

"Beifang has already discovered ropz's position, quick shake, still shaking, position locked, pre-fire directly kills ropz!"

"WUOOOOOO!!" Ma Xixi and MO exclaimed simultaneously, "Beifang's quad-kill, can he win in such a top-tier position?"

"Worthy of being a two-time HLTV TOP 1 winner, the only big brother of COL!"

MO also added on the side: "This is really a bit ruthless. I really didn't expect him to be able to kill everyone from this position."

As a former professional player, he understood the difficulty of operating from the Sanlou position all too well.

There were still three opponents, yet he had killed them all from the Sanlou.

"I can only say this is the charm of a star player, turning the impossible into the possible, directly turning the long-gun round around!"

The venue once again fell into a carnival; scenes of individual heroism are always loved, and Xu Beifang's clutch was indeed beautiful, with only Faze fans wailing in pain.

The score reached 4:0.

Faze was a bit annoyed by the loss of this round, and Karrigan was also a bit speechless with himself.

In this clutch, his mistake was too fatal.

He didn't cover, he didn't win the duel; he was basically fully responsible.

However, he also understood that now was not the time for self-reproach.

The only good news was that the bomb had been planted, so they could continue to play a long-gun round with incomplete utility.

He commanded the team to force-buy, but this time he put the focus on his old teammate JKS, planning to start from the Iron Plate.

Seeing the smoke JKS threw at the second timing, they proactively tried to execute through the smoke.

"The smoke exploded, JKS's reaction was fast, but he tapped the head again and didn't kill; today JKS is really dying due to weapon disadvantage."

"Danking on the Sanlou immediately reinforced, but just as he got the information, his vision was blurred, and instead, he was wallbanged to death by Karrigan. The Danish bloodline has activated again."

"Beifang caught rain sneaking Outside at the K1 entrance and directly killed him."

"Seeing this situation, Faze directly rotated, turned back to hit A, Elige traded one on the bomb site, but was traded back when hitting the second!"

"NIKO peeked out from the Sanlou wanting to take someone, but Han Wang was prepared for this position, and he was directly taken out!"

"It's come to Beifang's 1v3 clutch again." Ma Xixi's expression at this moment was a 'Dragon Meme'.

Utterly speechless.

Beifang had just taken a 1v3 quad-kill, and in the blink of an eye, here comes another 1v3.

I feel like I've seen this episode before.

However, he had to admit that the timing of the COL members in these two rounds wasn't particularly good; there was always one unlucky guy.

Xu Beifang was a bit helpless, but still intended to give it a try.

Mainly because their economy was good, even if he only traded one person, it would be acceptable.

He thought for a moment and arrived under the Sanlou.

After all, he had leaked sound in K1 earlier, so the opponent probably wouldn't guess that he would run to the Sanlou position.

However, just as he arrived under the Sanlou, he heard footsteps above his head.

Well, there's no way to fight this now.

"Broky is on the Sanlou with an AWP, Beifang doesn't intend to fight at all, just wants to see if he can save a gun." Ma Xixi also saw Xu Beifang's intention.

But just then, Xu Beifang heard the sound of footsteps landing inside the bomb site.

He processed this information in his mind instantly.

He's planning to save the gun?

He had originally intended to come over to save the gun, so he climbed up without hesitation.

"Broky heard the footsteps and immediately turned to hold the angle, but what kind of reaction is this? Beifang directly ate Broky alive!"

"Han Wang from the Pipe immediately pulled over to cover, but was also directly taken out by Xu Beifang!"

"ropz, with low health, is running back from the Yellow Room. Beifang has a defuse kit, and this is a Sanlou bomb!"

The audience in the venue was stunned.

There wasn't much time left, but because Xu Beifang had a defuse kit.

So there was actually a chance for this clutch!

No way!!

Xu Beifang still had half his health; he knew there wasn't much time, so he didn't bother with any silent Sanlou drops and jumped directly into the bomb site.

That was a close one, almost killed him from the fall.

While landing, he also heard footsteps coming from the Yellow Room.

He knew the opponent must be very anxious.

So he directly faked a defuse, and then did an Iguodala to the right!

"Tat-tat-tat!"

【Nice+JKS used an AK47 to headshot and kill ropz】

"ropz couldn't beat Beifang either. Beifang has a defuse kit this time, is there still time to defuse?"

"It seems there is enough time!"

On the game UI, the blue progress bar of the bomb and the orange progress bar of the C4 were shrinking rapidly, attracting the attention of everyone in the venue.

The COL members watched the screen intently, one by one.

NIKO muttered softly: "No way, no way."

The Faze members across the stage were even more expectant of the moment the C4 exploded.

As the sound became more urgent, the C4 also emitted the light before the explosion.

But in the next instant, the sound of the C4 died out, and the sound of the bomb being defused reached everyone's ears.

【Holy shit!!】

【No way】

【Two consecutive 1v3 quad-kills?】

【Love saving guns, haha】

【Beifang can find an opportunity in this, Faze, what on earth are you playing?】

【There's no other way, Faze are all low on health, if they don't run to save guns, how can they play the next round?】

【Is this the second-stage BOSS? The pressure is too strong】

The netizens were shocked, and the COL members were also dumbfounded.

NIKO couldn't stop laughing: "This can work? Is it for real!"

"Don't worry about how you won, just look at whether you won!" JKS praised, "That was so daring."

"Key brother!" Elige said.

And as the core member of the atmosphere group, Danking stood up and cheered directly, as if everything had something to do with him.

At this moment, Faze finally couldn't hold on and called the first timeout of Map 2.
