Chapter 489: 43 The Moment of Lifting the Cup!

"Beifang took one, Broky continued to jump down wanting to trade, but the game is already over!!"

Ma Xixi shouted excitedly in the live stream, "Let us congratulate COL!!"

"Beifang's performance today was too good; he once again transformed into the Concept God of the CSGO era. He proved with his strength that the version can't affect his level, and his performance was even more outstanding!!"

Accompanied by the impassioned music at the scene, the huge screen began to show the official photos of the COL group.

At this moment, all the viewers were immersed in a carnival. Although they had anticipated the arrival of this moment, COL truly defeating Faze still made them fall into a state of ecstasy.

【Holy cow】

【The World No. 1 brother really works!】

【Beishen!! Beishen!!】

【Xijiang University sends congratulatory messages!】

【6657 sends congratulatory messages!】

【This win is too awesome】

【Beifang's final performance is really exaggerated, hammering Faze】

【Beifang is carrying, others didn't slack off either, everyone withstood the pressure】

【NIKO is not easy; feels like this will be a great transfer!】

【...】

"It's unimaginable. A team just reorganized this offseason, a team that hasn't trained for long, a COL led by a player who just returned." Ma Xixi laughed heartily, "No one thought they could go to the end, but Nice proved with his strength that he is the one who creates miracles!"

"This is COL!!"

The director gave the camera to the player booth at this time.

At the moment of winning the match, a group of people in the COL player booth seemed to have gone crazy.

Xu Beifang took off his headset and made a bicep-flexing pose towards the audience; it was muscle controlling the brain.

But the audience was quite cooperative; after all, the guy on the stage now was the champion of this IEM Chengdu.

They also saw Xu Beifang's performance in this final; he was definitely the most outstanding player, none other!

Xu Beifang interacted with the audience, and in his ears was the music belonging to the winner; it was so beautiful and so missed.

The flames erupting in front of the stage floated like clouds, combined with the flashbangs in the stands, it looked like a night starry sky, extremely beautiful.

"I really do love this stage!" Xu Beifang looked at the crowd cheering for him and laughed heartily.

He enjoyed the feeling of returning to the championship, while others had a surreal feeling.

Danking had already messed up his pink hair; he rushed to Xu Beifang's side, eyes widened: "We just won the championship?"

"Otherwise!" Xu Beifang raised his volume; the audience at the scene was too excited, he had to be louder for his teammates to hear his voice clearly.

But soon he figured it out; he didn't explain, but pulled Danking to his front, pointed at him with two index fingers, and then started shouting with the audience: "Danking! Danking!"

The audience at the scene quickly understood Xu Beifang's meaning; Danking's popularity in the circle was also second to none.

"I can play in the Shanghai Major, the whole arena shouts Danking! Danking!" was also his original words when he was circle-money, which could be considered going out of the circle.

But at this moment, driven by Xu Beifang, the whole arena was really shouting "Danking!!"

This stunned Danking.

He was actually a person of true feelings; although he had talent in live streaming and liked to mess around with friends.

But how many true words were said in the way of messing around, only he himself knew.

He wiped his slightly moist eye sockets and then said seriously to Xu Beifang: "I'll start streaming tomorrow, this wave of heat absolutely cannot be missed."

Xu Beifang held his forehead, speechless, and gave a thumbs up: "Rest assured, no one can beat you on this track."

He was just complaining about Danking when he felt his thigh being hugged, and then he was lifted up directly.

Xu Beifang looked down and saw NIKO laughing and saying: "Brother, you are too strong! Today I finally enjoyed the feeling of being carried to victory!"

Xu Beifang laughed: "It's everyone playing well, we COL won the championship of this final!"

"Thanks, brother." NIKO said in a low voice to Xu Beifang.

After the offseason, Xu Beifang invited him to join.

He knew this lineup was very powerful, but if someone told him that he could win the championship in the first major tournament, he would definitely dismiss it.

But today, they really did it!

Xu Beifang, who was lifted up by NIKO, just chuckled: "I said it, only two maps away from the championship, I said it and I did it!"

NIKO wanted to refute; after all, they almost died on Map 1, which might have led to Map 3.

But he thought again.

This was Xu Beifang's personal charm; his confidence made him dare to make judgments.

This kind of statement, similar to opening champagne at halftime, turned into personal charm under strong strength and execution.

So NIKO also laughed and whispered a complaint: "You guy need to lose weight. If I wasn't working out too, I really couldn't lift you."

Just then, they saw someone rush in from beside the player booth.

Even the security guard on the side had to intercept, Xu Beifang took a look and hurriedly went over to explain: "This is our own person, our boss."

Although intercepted, the COL boss wasn't angry.

Compared to successfully winning the championship with the team, what was being intercepted by a security guard?

He directly spread his arms and gave Xu Beifang a big hug: "Great job, kid! You were born for CS! We are the champions this time!!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red: "24 years, I finally saw COL return to the peak again!"

"Too long, really too long!!"

COL was one of the earliest clubs established in the entire esports circle, founded in the early 2000s. During the CS1.6 era, they were one of the most powerful teams in the CS world, but despite having quite a lot of glory in CS1.6, they had been sluggish since entering the CSGO era.

It wasn't until Xu Beifang joined COL that they achieved some results in 2020.

But the withering of North American talent made Xu Beifang struggle; he didn't want to see that result.

Finally, he chose to wait, and this wait lasted two years.

Finally, he waited for Xu Beifang's return, and also waited for the championship for COL.

Xu Beifang patted Jason's shoulder: "It's fine, everything will get better."

"This is just a beginning, right."

He liked this guy who loved CS so much, and he himself was also eager to win more championships!

In the CSBOY live stream, Ma Xixi could completely feel their excitement from the players' actions.

"This is really not easy. Although this COL is an all-star team, except for Beifang, the others are actually losers, their results are not particularly good, but this IEM Chengdu rushed all the way to the final, this is too powerful!"

MO just wanted to take the conversation when a bullet screen floated by: "NIKO finally lifted the Major championship? Where is it a Major, this is IEM!"

He was a bit confused, while Ma Xixi on the side was already hard to swallow: "This netizen means, NIKO lifted Beifang up..."

Xu Beifang is a Major champion, NIKO lifted Xu Beifang up, which is equivalent to lifting the Major championship.

This netizen is really a language master!

"According to this, NIKO also defeated quite a few Major champions today." Ma Xixi was happy.

He also looked at the live stream screen; the screen had followed COL's actions and began to turn towards Faze.

The camera gave Karrigan, who was sitting on the gaming chair in a daze, playing with the headset cable in his hand.

He was completely beaten into a daze.

Inferno was actually fine; COL didn't find their state in the early stage and was targeted by his tactics. Even if COL performed and chased points back later, he still felt unwilling.

But after entering Nuke.

COL didn't play any tactical games with him at all.

That guy Nice's arrangement was quite simple, 50-point tactics, 90-point-plus personal ability.

He relied on personal ability to tear them apart.

Nice played clutches in the first half however he wanted, and after entering the full-buy round in the second half, he clearly arranged tactics, but Outside was pushed flat so easily.

He was really powerless.

He didn't care much about losing to COL in the group stage before; after all, Faze was also a slow-heating team, and as long as they entered the playoffs, everything would get better.

The tactics he arranged weren't something the opponent could resist.

But in this match today, his tactics were like building blocks built by a child, directly kicked over by the opponent.

He was dazed, and the other Faze members had already stood up, but one by one they were scratching their heads.

Being defeated by Nice in such a way that was like fish-frying.

They were very unhappy, but had no good way.

This is very painful.

But at least they know the skill level of the group on the other side; being beaten up by Xu Beifang in the finals won't cause their Dao heart to collapse.

It's just that they are still surprised by the strength Nice possesses after entering CS2.

Ropz, on the side, is feeling very helpless.

His role within the team is Lurker, a position that requires the player to have extremely strong individual ability and the ability to judge the situation.

However, after entering Map 2, he often hasn't even exerted his strength on the flank before the front line has fallen one after another.

Just when they finally managed to gain an advantage in a few rounds by playing well, that guy Nice's clutch ability made him feel disgusted.

His exaggerated individual ability is just overflowing—is this even playable!

Now that the match is over, Ropz still doesn't have much of a real sense of it.

Watching Xu Beifang lead the team walking toward them, he quickly collected his emotions, reached out to Xu Beifang, and shook his hand: "Played very well, but a bit too well."

Facing Ropz's complaint, Xu Beifang chuckled: "Can't help it, if I didn't perform, we really would have gone to Map 3."

"With your current form, you wouldn't be afraid even if it went to Map 3," Ropz said with slight helplessness.

Although COL and Faze are both old-timers.

But the further the match goes, Faze is actually at a greater disadvantage.

Because Karrigan is too old; playing until the end, he would probably be muddled.

He is Faze's Commander, the most critical brain.

It's no problem if Karrigan's gunplay is a bit worse, but if his brain gets foggy, then Faze is in a slow death.

Therefore, the more it drags on, the less Karrigan can hold up.

Xu Beifang also immediately shook hands with Karrigan.

"You really are a freak... even in the position of Commander," Karrigan said with a helpless face, "I thought siuhy would be the most outstanding Commander this year; I didn't expect you to suddenly charge out."

"I'll pay it back next time we face each other."

Although Karrigan said it toughly, he was convinced in his heart.

There have been quite a few players who transitioned from Gunners to Commanders in the last two years, such as Electronic, and Yekindar.

But these Gunners often disappear after transitioning to Commander.

Someone like Xu Beifang, who can bring out the strength of his teammates while still being able to hold his own in a gunfight on the front line, is truly extremely rare.

And Xu Beifang's tactical thinking as a Commander this time is really unique.

Especially in Map 2, Karrigan's feeling during the match was that Nice was completely developing his tactics around himself.

It's somewhat similar to Jame's playstyle, but because their styles are different, there are also big differences.

He thinks this playstyle is still very stunning, but it's hard for other teams to replicate.

After all, there are only a few teams that possess a Superstar, and as for a Superstar who can moonlight as a Commander, it's just this guy in front of him.

But in the next confrontation, COL's playstyle might change again.

After all, this team has been formed for less than two months, and there are many things that can change.

After chatting with Karrigan for a few words, Xu Beifang simply shook hands with the others, ending the post-match handshake session.

Immediately after, COL's players and Coach looked at each other and smiled, then cast their gaze toward the center of the stage.

Under the brilliant lights, the spoils belonging to the winner were placed there.

The audience also realized what was about to unfold, and one by one, they let out cheers and started to make a scene off-stage.

Countless mobile phones were raised, ready to capture this memorable moment.

The group walked slowly to the trophy stand, and Danking spoke up at this moment: "Who is going to lift the trophy first..."

Xu Beifang and NIKO looked at each other and tacitly pushed Danking to the front of the trophy stand.

JKS and Elige also had looks of encouragement on their faces.

Although this group's results are very poor, there is an unspoken rule for CSGO championship teams, which is to let new members enjoy the glory of lifting the trophy first.

Nowadays, all of COL can be considered new members, but except for Danking, the others have at least won major tournament championships.

So today, this glory of being the first to lift the trophy was given to Danking.

And to be honest, their impression of Danking is also very good.

He is the atmosphere-maker in the team, doesn't consume resources in the match, is willing to do some dirty and tiring work, and his skill can hold up.

No one can bring themselves to dislike this kind of player.

Danking was a bit surprised and wanted to decline, but Xu Beifang, as the Captain, spoke directly: "If you're told to lift the trophy, then lift it; don't keep NIKO waiting, otherwise if he punches you, I won't stop him."

NIKO punching him was definitely a joke, but Danking didn't say anything else and turned to grab the trophy.

This is a disc-shaped trophy, and there is one thing that left Danking a bit speechless: this trophy stand is set too high.

It doesn't look that good when he lifts it up.

But amidst the cheers, he still lifted the trophy high.

The music reached its most passionate moment, and ribbons were sprayed around the stage.

At this moment, it was as if a golden rain had fallen inside the venue.

Xu Beifang also quickly took the trophy from Danking's hands and then lifted it up as if he were grabbing a dumbbell plate.

"Oh!!!!"

The suddenly louder sound at the scene directly gave Danking a start.

When he lifted the trophy before, the whole venue was cheering, and he thought that was already quite good.

He didn't expect that when Xu Beifang got the trophy, the volume at the scene would be even louder.

Immediately after, the trophy was passed to Elige and JKS's hands; they are both relatively introverted people, and after lifting the trophy, they didn't have any extra movements, just enjoying the cheers belonging to the scene as winners.

Under these circumstances, JKS even complained to Xu Beifang: "This trophy is a bit light; it doesn't have the weight of the one from Katowice."

Xu Beifang nodded: "It's indeed not as heavy as the one from Katowice; I can't lift this one with one hand, it just feels like something is missing. Let's go to Katowice together next time and get one."

Danking's vision went black listening to the two of them chatting.

How come they talk about a Katowice championship like it's Chinese cabbage in a vegetable market.

At this time, the trophy came to NIKO's hands; NIKO had a smile on his face and happily lifted it up.

He couldn't help but look at the audience in the stands, but with a glance of his peripheral vision, he saw Hunter and the kid sitting in the front row wearing casual clothes. Noticing NIKO looking this way, they also happily raised their hands to greet NIKO.

NIKO also smiled; he shook the trophy while lifting it, signaling to his cousin and the kid.

After NIKO's trophy-lifting session ended, Coach Xiaoxiao and Jason, as the boss, also enjoyed the feeling of lifting the trophy one after another.

At this time, the host at the scene had already walked to their side and passionately shouted again: "Let us welcome the IEM Chengdu champion, Complexity, with enthusiasm once again!"

"The new king has been crowned!!"
