Chapter 492: 46 The Vacation Club turned over

NIKO woke up from his sleep, he subconsciously knocked on his slightly painful head.

"You're awake? The surgery was very successful, you are already a girl!"

He hadn't recalled what state he was in yet, when he heard Xu Beifang's voice sound in the room.

NIKO rolled his eyes, you are teasing a fool!

No, Beifang seems to be teasing me.

Dazed and getting up, he felt his brain was a bit overloaded.

"What time is it?"

"One o'clock in the afternoon." Xu Beifang pointed to the table, "You slept too dead, I called you to eat lunch before and you didn't react, packed a burger for you, it's on the table, take it yourself."

NIKO smiled awkwardly: "Didn't we have too much fun last night."

"That's for sure, it's your home court."

After eating midnight snack last night, they transferred to a nightclub, after winning the championship, a group of people directly opened champagne for carnival, completely releasing their energy.

NIKO originally liked the environment of nightclubs very much, and directly turned that nightclub into his home court.

NIKO picked up his mobile phone, looking at the replies from fans and professional brothers in the circle under his tweet, still having a surreal feeling.

"Did we really win the championship?" he couldn't help asking Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang's face was full of speechless expressions: "Let's not drink if we can't drink in the future, going to a nightclub and drinking yourself stupid."

NIKO wasn't angry either, being said by the other party with disgust, instead he laughed happily.

Looking at the photo of him lifting the trophy on Twitter and laughing foolishly for a while, he turned his head to look at Xu Beifang who was doing boring stretching exercises, "What is our arrangement later?"

"I just asked T. C." Xu Beifang stopped his movements, picked up his mobile phone from the side, and saw the coach had replied to him, "We have a flight the day after tomorrow morning, flying directly to Malta to participate in the ESL S19 season match."

"After arriving there, we will train, it should also be a battle." NIKO thought it was going to Malta in advance to prepare.

Xu Beifang shook his head, "Not much time for us to prepare for training, after arriving there, adapt to the jet lag, and then enter the match. So for this next time, let's not have too high requirements for results, mainly playing as training."

He loved CS matches very much, but this overly tight schedule of CS still made people feel uncomfortable.

They just won the championship, but the next match would start in 9 days.

There was simply not much time for them to prepare or practice new tactical content, so playing as training was the best choice for this next time.

"Not right." Danking was a bit strange, "Don't we need to play for the ESL qualification?"

Just this IEM Chengdu, COL was honestly playing from the qualification match, even if playing in the Asian division, it took a lot of time.

ESL goes up and starts playing, which made him a bit strange.

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

NIKO helped explain: "This is the charm of money! Our COL is a sponsored team of EPL, bought the seat with money."

He knew this point, before when he was in G2, G2 was also a sponsored team, every time EPL started, they were invited to start from the group stage.

"I measure!" Danking also suddenly remembered this, "Seems like teams without qualifications need to play particularly complex qualification matches, Tianlu also played before."

First-line CS matches were originally very dense, not having to struggle from various qualifiers to compete for qualifications could reduce the consumption of players' energy, using more time in important matches.

This sponsorship providing qualifications was of course good for their first-line players.

But it was too harsh for second-line teams.

Because this kind of EPL league, except for sponsored teams and invitations according to ranking, there weren't many qualifications left.

Wanting to stand out from it was too difficult.

"Sponsored teams are simply too despicable!" Danking was full of indignation.

Xu Beifang and NIKO both shrugged, although it was unfair to second-line teams, there was nothing to be done.

Esports matches ultimately have to pursue traffic, and if second-line teams really have strength, they still have a chance to kill out from the big waves.

Immediately after, they heard Danking grin: "Fortunately we are a sponsored team."

Tang!

Xu Beifang looked a bit speechless, and then added: "Fortunately, the quality of this match is still quite good, and the group stage uses a double-elimination BO3, plus a last-chance stage, so at least we can play 3 full BO3s, we can practice a lot of things."

As the commander of the team, he was clear.

Now the team's map pool is still a bit shallow, and the means in some complex maps are too few.

Once the strength gap between the two sides is not big, it is easy to fall into a stalemate.

The means they have to break the balance of the scales are still a bit few.

And this championship return has once again returned to the public's vision, so the targeting they face next is unavoidable.

Some of their common tactical routines must change.

"No big problem!" NIKO waved his hand, "I think relying on our current state, we can at least enter the playoffs, just practice!"

"This mentality is very good, we just need to be confident." Xu Beifang gave NIKO a thumbs up.

He personally felt that the championship was very nourishing.

Now this group of people in the team, the level is definitely there, after all, being able to stay in the first line for so many years, it's impossible not to have some skills.

But this group of people sometimes just lacks that breath.

Often just a little bit.

It's still a bit difficult for strength to advance by leaps and bounds, but if they can be more confident, then they can completely exert their due strength, and even in some special moments, play a 120-point level with 90-point strength.

And the improvement of confidence is very simple, just needing to achieve results in this field.

When you know you can do this thing well, you naturally have confidence.

This IEM Chengdu championship was won, and he clearly felt that the mental outlook of the teammates was changing, even Danking's fighting spirit had improved a lot.

At least he wouldn't ask Xu Beifang: "Can we win?" such words when he just joined COL and met first-line strong teams.

It's just that one championship is still a bit less, and later he has to slowly add something to the glory.

"Coach Xiaoxi notified to have a small meeting later, and then let's review last night's match." Danking reminded the two.

NIKO heard this and hurriedly climbed up to wash up.

He didn't want to be the only one everyone in the team was waiting for.

But Coach Xiaoxi's approach also made him feel more and more that he came to the right place.

You know, generally after winning the championship, everyone is surrounded by ecstasy, so who cares about the final review after winning the championship.

It's completely possible to brush it off with words like we won the final, we are awesome, no need to review.

But COL didn't, but seriously finished the things after the final.

And to be honest, they didn't play well on Map 1 yesterday.

Can only say that the resilience of a group of people was strong enough to have the hope of turning it around.

Danking was chatting with NIKO about how much prize money each of them could split in this wave of finals.

Xu Beifang had no thoughts on this, so he opened his mobile phone and started surfing.

A day passed, the rhythm on the internet was still very hot.

The impact brought by COL winning the championship was still spreading on the internet.

Xu Beifang glanced at HLTV and found that HLTV didn't update the ranking, but he calculated roughly, after the ranking update, they might rush to the top 5 relying on this championship.

Didn't directly enter the first place, mainly because COL's personnel changes were too many, and the previous points were all lost, which could be considered starting from zero.

HLTV's current points algorithm is results + state + offline and other columns added together.

Their championship results are naturally excellent, but the points for state and offline are too low, so they won't reach particularly high.

This also quite fits his expectations.

Having room for improvement is interesting.

He strolled on the forum for a while and found that the posts on the forum were quite enthusiastic.

【Rational discussion, now who is the world's number one rifleman between Nice and donk】

【Still need to discuss? donk fans stop pretending to be rational】

【donk's nickname is Little Nice, you should be able to understand】

【In terms of results, Beifang has Major championship + Grand Slam, in terms of personal strength, Beifang has 2 consecutive top1】

【Didn't understand the stats of the final? Playing Faze, these stats are crushing】

【Fight when you have the ability, this professional arena is ultimately the world of young people】

The viewers on the forum soon started to argue, but Xu Beifang didn't care, he was quite happy looking at the comments of netizens.

donk is indeed a top-tier rifleman who appeared after CS2, which can be considered a genius born in response to the version.

He actually quite likes donk's playstyle, this guy also made his eyes light up when he appeared.

But later he found that donk relies too much on talent, knowing that this guy still lacks the tempering of the 'dungeon'.

donk's means are too few, later as long as he is given a wave of 'superstar' level targeting, this guy will definitely be honest.

He is more happy because of winning the championship now. In 2020, winning too much made him feel nothing about victory.

But now returning, lifting the championship again, instead gave him a different feeling.

He suddenly saw a dynamic at this time: "CS2 version update..."

But before he had time to see the follow-up, he heard NIKO say: "I'm ready, let's go up to the training room."

He looked up and saw NIKO holding a burger and gnawing on it, and he also hurriedly followed.

They entered the training room and found that not only the coach, but Elige and JKS were also here.

"Are we starting to review now?" Danking asked Coach Xiaoxi.

Coach Xiaoxi shook his mobile phone: "Look at the Vacation Club's Twitter, they just had a big update, and the content is quite important."

A group of people started sitting in their seats and opening their mobile phones. Xu Beifang entered Twitter and found the Vacation Club's account.

He saw the Vacation Club publish an update dynamic half an hour ago.

Xu Beifang finished reading everything, summarized as:

M4A4 price adjusted from 3100 to 3000.

The price of the police's incendiary grenade adjusted from 600 to 500, but the range became smaller and the duration became shorter.

Then it was the economic reward for planting the bomb that changed, the economic reward after planting the bomb changed from 800 to 600.

Vertigo was exploded and modified by the Vacation Club.

First, the wall from A Link to A Small was opened, and then iron frames were added to the periphery of A Site.

Then the 50th floor under the A slope became deeper.

"Hiss~" Danking finished reading the update content and couldn't wait to open the computer and enter Vertigo's running map server, and then gasped for cold cola, "Is this still Vertigo?"

The Vacation Club's update was just a few words written lightly, but it was a huge change when placed in the game.

"This A Small wall was opened, how can the terrorists beat the police?" Elige was also a bit surprised by this wave of changes in Vertigo.

NIKO commented: "Before, if you pushed from A Small, you only needed one smoke on the left side of the bomb site, but now you must also seal this door of A Small."

"Not only that." Xu Beifang explained his view, "This door wall was opened, even if you sealed the smoke grenade, the CT's retake would become simpler."

"And the idea of guarding the bomb after taking A Site will also change. Before, after we took A Site, as long as there was a support point in A Small, it was easy to guard and win, because it was very difficult for the opponent to clear A Small."

"But this wall opened, when playing clutches in A Small, you need to face two angles of gun lines, and the difficulty of the game increased."

JKS pointed to the iron passage that appeared in A Site: "Look here, there is an extra road here, which also increased the difficulty of the offensive side in A Site. The CT's gun position and choices have one more kind."

The appearance of the iron passage made the CT's defensive gun position more.

Whether it was the early guarding or the subsequent clutches, the difficulty of the offensive side became bigger.

Coach Xiaoxi also said: "Then this completely became a big police map, a bit hard to handle."

"Not only Vertigo, the Vacation Club strengthened the defensive side of all maps, Vertigo is just relatively obvious." Xu Beifang saw the key, "Vertigo is just strengthening the CT from the map structure, but did you notice the adjustment of the economic system?"

"A4 this gun became cheaper, it looks like only 100, but you all know how awkward this 100 is."

Everyone in the room nodded.

In the current version, the choice of most players on the main battle rifle is A1.

Even if A1 has defects in bullets compared to A4, its silencer + cheap characteristics make it favored by most players.

After all, the number of rounds in CS2 has changed, and the economy has become harder to operate. Sometimes 200 economy, one more flashbang, might be the hope of turning it around.

Sometimes it really is 200 economy difference.

But A4 became 3000, then the nature is different.

"This 100 price, to exchange for multi-kill ability, I think quite a few players will be willing." JKS prefers to use A4, and he also plans to change A4 to his main battle weapon later.

Xu Beifang signaled Danking to open the shop, he pointed to the incendiary grenade and said: "And the fire is 100 cheaper, using A4 basically has no pressure."

"And the biggest place for the offensive side to be weakened is here!" Xu Beifang couldn't help complaining, "He really intends to see that if the pistol round is lost, then ECO."

NIKO's brows wrinkled: "What do you mean?"

Xu Beifang didn't sell the pass, immediately explaining: "The economic reward after planting the bomb in the pistol round is 800. If we are on the offensive side, after losing the pistol round, we will have 2800 basic economy in the next round, which can directly start full-armor Galil force-buy to try to turn it around."

"But this wave of economic reward was cut by 200. Without getting a kill, there is only full-armor submachine gun to use."

After the CT wins the pistol round, generally they need to buy utility, most members can only equip submachine guns.

Against the offensive side with full-armor Galil, the gun is actually at a disadvantage, so after planting the bomb, the hope of the offensive side turning it around is still very big.

But this wave of modification by the Vacation Club makes the offensive side's guns not as good as the police after losing the pistol round.

"So this Vacation Club is not only improving the win rate of the defensive side of Vertigo, they are trying to improve the win rate of CT in all aspects, reducing the win rate of T."

Xu Beifang gasped.

The salty Vacation Club is willing to turn over and move, this is of course a good thing.

But because COL's team style leans towards personal ability, the improvement of the defensive side's win rate improves the lower limit of systematic teams, but also makes their kind of team relying on personal ability performance harder.

"This Vacation Club, really gave us a difficult problem!"
