Chapter 49: The gears of fate begin to turn (Two-in-one chapter)

"The rain outside the window has stopped, the lights in the room are still dark……"

"Guarding your coldness, playing with loneliness……"

Leon Kai, who had just finished work, had already opened his Bilibili live stream room, clicked on a piece of good music, and planned to enjoy his own leisure time.

Recently, he was considering whether to officially resign to become a content creator. He heard from Qiezi that his recent salary was actually quite good.

He was working in Leshan now, tired to death from nine to five every day, couldn't earn much money, and people were consumed to an unrecognizable state.

Since he couldn't earn money, why not choose a part that he was relatively passionate about?

The figure of that listener boy for some reason appeared in his mind again.

"Passersby walk through the streets and rivers, the good scenery is only for a moment……"

"The forest will wither, the wind blows away the clouds……"

Chen Li's "Walking Horse" was still playing in the headphones, and the cold and sophisticated voice was slowly fluctuating Leon Kai's emotions.

Dream…… Heh, let's continue to endure it first.

People who worked so hard couldn't persist, and in the end, they could only choose to find a job. How far could he persist for the sake of passion?

Leon Kai stretched, opened the aimbot map, prepared to warm up with 1000 bots first, and then enter the ladder to start scoring.

But while playing, Leon Kai saw water friends frantically screening the barrage in the barrage:

【Kai Zi Ge, your apprentice has promise!! Listener boy joined VP!!】

【Listener brother is too awesome today, exploding 5power on IEM Shanghai】

【This is frying fish from ladder to professional frying fish】

【To be honest, what was the suggestion Kai Zi Ge gave to Little Xu? I also want to start practicing.】

Today's water friends were exceptionally active, and the barrage in the live stream room didn't stop.

Leon Kai saw words like "Listener brother", "Little Xu", "VP", etc. combined together, and his heart jumped.

He thought of a possibility, a possibility with great hope, but felt that this possibility was too ethereal.

"You guys are lying!" Leon Kai's heart subconsciously didn't believe this answer.

But he seemed to be looking forward to something, so he took the initiative to open HLTV and soon saw the recent IEM Shanghai station match.

Click on the match result of VP vs 5power.

Ranked first, it was the somewhat familiar ID: nice

The data below was even more amazing!

KAD (Kill/Assist/Death): 47/5/26

KAST (Non-blind rate): 78.2%

K-DDiff (KD increase/decrease): 21

ADR (Average damage per round): 97.2

FKDiff (First kill or first death increase/decrease): 4

Rating (Technical score): 1.57

Leon Kai was dumbfounded: "Is this true or false? Is it the same person? Is Little Xu so fierce?"

Xu Beifang's fans in the stream expressed their gratitude to Little Xu sincerely:

【It really has to be your advice, Kai Zi Ge; we watch Xu Beifang every day and practice our aim following your suggestions, and then we just rank up like crazy.】

Leon Kai scratched his head, soon searched and entered the IEM Shanghai station live stream room. The match between VP and HR had entered the preparation stage, and he soon saw Xu Beifang wearing the VP jersey.

He was a bit dumbfounded, and the whole person was stupid: "Just that suggestion, I thought of it casually based on experience, is it really that strong? Practice every day and you can play professionally? How come I don't know?"

At the beginning, seeing Xu Beifang doing such abstract training as hitting 10,000 bots every day, as a CSGO player with character, he gave some suggestions based on his own gun practice habits.

Originally, he didn't think this suggestion could play much of a role. After all, this kind of gun practice mode, most entry-level players would have.

As a result!

Xu Beifang used such simple practice, rushed points step by step, and finally walked onto the professional stage?

Holy shit, this is a joke!

Leon Kai was a bit dumbfounded, but thinking of Xu Beifang's daily efforts, he felt that it should be like this.

"After a long time, I am finally willing to look up, you are waiting for me to be brave on the opposite bank……"

The music in his ears was constantly ringing. Little Xu's experience made him excited. Leon Kai gritted his teeth and made a decision to resign in his heart. The young long-necked content creator didn't know that at this moment, the gears of fate began to turn slowly.

……

Sitting on the stage again, Xu Beifang's mood was slightly calmer than before, and he didn't look too excited.

After all, the big stage he dreamed of has now become a place where he is familiar with it.

Adjust his equipment, Xu Beifang entered the aim-bot map and started to warm up quickly.

The BP session of this match has also begun.

HR has the first-hand right. They came up and directly lifted Nuke away. HR didn't even play this map well in the entire CIS.

It was VP's turn to choose. After thinking twice, Pasha banned Overpass.

Came to HR's first choice, they directly took Mirage.

"Do you want to take Cache?" Pasha asked for the opinions of several teammates.

Neo thought for a while and shook his head to refuse: "Forget it, let's not choose Cache first, leave it for the backhand."

Although they won a Cache today, the confrontation with HR's Cache still seemed to be vivid in his mind, which was a painful scene.

HR removed Inferno again.

VP still left the more familiar map of Train between Dust 2 and Train.

Both sides entered the preparation time, and the match was about to begin.

VP vs HR

Map: Mirage

T: Bondik, ISSAA, ANGE1, Fejtz, Deadfox

CT: Byali, Michu, Neo, Pasha, nice

……

"Welcome to the 2018 IEM Shanghai station match, I am the commentator Wanjiqi for this match."

In room 6657 of Haixian Tai, Wanjiqi made an opening remark as usual.

"This match is a BO3 between VP and HR, a life-and-death game, the winner is promoted, and the loser goes home."

"Map one is Mirage chosen by HR, VP is the police start."

"Okay, as soon as we come up, we see Pasha forcibly defusing the bomb and being killed. Bondik helped the team win the pistol round with a quadruple kill!"

【No pistol round, too familiar!】

【'nice', get up, explode HR!!】

【Little Xu, come on!!!】

……

The pistol round was not won, Pasha immediately arranged the tactics for the force buy round:

"2A-3B, 'nice', you go to the B area to help. I feel that HR's possibility of rushing B this point will be very high."

The pistol round didn't get a kill, Xu Beifang could only buy a half-armor Desert Eagle, "Hmm, I'll go help this point. If there is any movement in the A area, tell me immediately, I'll come back immediately."

Pasha didn't arrange too many tactics for this kind of force buy round, just let everyone play freely and find opportunities.

He bought an SSG 08 himself and originally intended to find an opportunity in Mid, but a VIP smoke was sealed at the beginning, which made him only hold the gun at the rear.

"HR launched a second wave of map control in Mid, gave a smoke inside the Archway, ANGE1 cleared the Archway little by little, Fejet also searched the Black Room, HR's map control in Mid is very smooth."

Wanjiqi took a breath and then made an analysis, "HR's map control is orderly. If VP doesn't make effective counter-measures now, then facing an explosive bomb attack, VP's gun type definitely can't stop it."

"HR added a second VIP smoke, and the main force started to walk to the Archway. However, Byali has a smoke grenade here, directly stuffed into the Archway smoke, delaying time."

Noticed the movement of the B-small CT on the mini-map, his eyes lit up, "'nice' crept to B-small without noticing. Can he catch the side of the Archway and kill one first?"

"The side wasn't caught. ANGE1 reacted and actively watched B-small, but he didn't beat 'nice', and the Desert Eagle was a one-tap!!"

【'nice' killed ANGE1 with a Desert Eagle headshot】

After getting the kill, Xu Beifang didn't hold the Archway rigidly, but retreated to a gun position to watch the crossing point of the L position.

"Da-da-da!"

"Bang!"

The two sides exchanged fire briefly. Xu Beifang hit the opponent's body once, and he was also swept to half health.

"They should be going up to the Archway, you guys pay attention!" Xu Beifang quickly passed the information he gathered.

Hearing this, Neo, who had just reinforced to Jungle, immediately added another smoke grenade to the Archway, carrying out the delaying tactic to the end.

Michu didn't hide in the White Car either. After confirming the opponent's approximate position, he pushed forward very boldly from B2, getting the information that there was no one outside B2.

Immediately after, he continued to push forward from the Sewer.

"Fejtz is still holding VIP. Did he guess that someone came to the Sewer? Michu is still creeping forward."

"Michu fired first, but the CZ was just fired and was reacted by the blow-dryer and headshot. This is the pain of not having a helmet!"

At the same time, Neo, who intended to press forward, was also caught by ISSAA holding A1, and was killed in seconds by a burst. The number of people on both sides reached 3v4 for a time.

"I'm reinforcing B." After Michu pushed forward and got the information, Xu Beifang was originally reinforcing to the A area.

But Michu was killed in the counter-attack, and they became passive instead.

If Xu Beifang didn't rotate to B, they could only gamble on the point to play.

But he joined VP, not NaVi, and the commander was Pasha, not that gambling king Zeus.

"You go in directly, I'll reinforce the Supermarket and hold the B2 crossing point for you." Pasha also rushed over with an SSG 08.

Pasha's idea was very simple. Xu Beifang hid on the Bomb Site. Whether the opponent attacked from B2 or B-small, he could be the first to bleed, which could create opportunities for teammates by hitting the opponent to low health, but HR didn't seem to be too anxious.

……

"After continuing a smoke in the Archway, Michu didn't get a kill by stealing chicken, VP chose a 2B-1A standing position in the second time." Wanjiqi analyzed, "If the Terrorists are smart at this time, they can actively send one into the B area to get information, and then decide which side to speed up."

"However, HR chose a speed-up of Connector-to-A. This decision is not wrong, clean and neat, directly unfolding a wave, but in this case, VP can only see how many Byali in Jungle can catch."

"The CZ forcibly sprayed and traded one. Byali's gunplay is still quite considerable, but the gun line has been pulled open. Facing the opponent's trade kills, he still has no good way."

The number of people on both sides has reached 2v3. Looking at the UI, Wanjiqi speculated: "Is this situation still fighting? Saving a Desert Eagle and an SSG 08 is also a good choice."

In the 2v3 clutch, the winning percentage is not very high. The choice Wanjiqi speculated is also a most rational way.

"Byali died, but VP didn't choose to save the weapon, but actively retook and wanted to try!!"

"'nice' arrived at B-small, and the bomb planter just planted a B-small bomb, wow!! This is also okay, seeing it instantly, the Desert Eagle killed with one shot. The bomb planter was only 0.1 seconds away from planting the bomb. This 'nice' is really accurate!"

Machine's voice instantly became high-pitched. 'nice's performance made him feel the hope of a comeback.

After taking one kill, Xu Beifang didn't give up the gun position, but stood at B-small holding the position of the bomb.

He knew that one of the opponents was low health, and he had been shot in the stomach by his Desert Eagle before.

Now the Desert Eagle of this version hasn't been changed, and it only takes two shots to the stomach to complete the kill.

However, the CZ is the king of pistols in this version. Xu Beifang likes the Desert Eagle more because of habit.

The crosshair has been holding both sides of the Archway. An enemy appeared on the right, and Xu Beifang fired instantly.

"Bang!"

Didn't hit the opponent's head, but that AK-47 shot him, who was low health, to death with two shots.

"Remaining two low health!!!" Xu Beifang loudly said this information, giving Pasha confidence.

Pasha had an SSG 08 in his hand. The health of the remaining two opponents only needed one shot per person!

"Although he didn't complete the kill, 'nice' hit the full-health ISSAA to low health. In this way, Pasha has a chance to operate." Wanjiqi's voice lowered, "And, Pasha has been in the CT Spawn without showing his face. He is very mysterious. Will HR look at the CT Spawn?"

"Bondik jumped to the Jump Platform and was directly headshot by Pasha. Only one 5-health bomb planter is left to fight Pasha!!"

"ISSAA fake defused to bait the gun position, Pasha was shaking, and a blind shot from the SSG 08 killed him!!"

【'nice'!!!!】

【Pasha is awesome!!】

【This blind shot from Pasha is too thrilling】

Wanjiqi summarized this point: "To be honest, this clutch Pasha is very critical, but 'nice' did a lot of things in B-small. He got a first kill with a Desert Eagle at the beginning, then killed the bomb planter, and hit two low-health Terrorists although he didn't get more kills, but determined the information of two low-health Terrorists, which gave Pasha room to operate."

"This newcomer's operation is still very fierce!"

……

"'nice'! Pasha!!"

The tense clutch was won, making VP's atmosphere quite active.

The force buy round was completed, HR's economy collapsed directly. They didn't plant the bomb, and they only had 1400 economic rewards for this point, and the average economy would not exceed 2000.

Facing this kind of force buy ECO match, VP didn't make mistakes and won it steadily.

The score soon reached 3:1, and both sides entered the first long gun round.

Xu Beifang took the MP9 and came to the A2 floor as usual, doing conventional defense.

Originally, Neo was responsible for defending the A area on this map, but his state declined seriously, and he gradually couldn't support the high-intensity gun duel requirements of the A area.

So VP actually always considered letting him go to the B area to throw some utility and play steadily.

Before, Morelz was introduced, but the level played was not as good as Neo.

The practice of putting Neo in the B area, they had tried in the training match, but didn't choose it really, until Xu Beifang's debut was eye-catching today, which made them enable this idea again.

Byali agreed with both hands and feet for this decision. After all, the firepower of the A area alone is really a bit hard to top.

Xu Beifang threw a fire at A1 at the beginning, and went straight to the A2 floor, listening to the movement.

He had no information here, but bad news soon came from the B area.

【Deadfox killed Michu with AK-47 headshot】

Neo, who wanted to turn his head to help in B-small, could already hear the footsteps of B-small.

Forcibly holding the Terrorist in B-small, he was also killed by the Terrorist who had already gone down to the Bomb Site.

The B area fell at light speed, and the A-area trio quickly unfolded a retake.

But they didn't have much expectation for this retake in their hearts, although they had a defuse kit, the B area fell too early!!

1 minute and 30 seconds, the Terrorists had already rushed into the Bomb Site.

If it was an anti-eco match, they still had a chance to try.

But this was a long gun round, HR had too much utility left in their hands!!

Facts proved that their concerns were correct. Three people retook, and in the end, they didn't even get any information on the Bomb Site.

The opponent's utility didn't stop, and they didn't give a chance at all.

Pasha could only helplessly let his teammates save the weapon.

The score also reached 3:2.

HR's sudden speed-up made the VP crowd start to feel pressure.

Although Morelz was sitting on the cold bench today, HR's own strength should not be underestimated.
