Chapter 493: 47

After winning the championship, the COL group stayed here for a day, because JKS and NIKO especially wanted to see giant pandas.

Fortunately, Xu Beifang had made a plan in advance, otherwise the panda breeding base would punish everyone who didn't book in advance.

After strolling around, Xu Beifang took the lead in sending the trophy home.

IEM series tournament trophies, the tournament group will retain the original trophy.

But they will prepare a replica in advance, allowing their whole team to take it back.

Originally according to convention, this first trophy is left to the club, and others wait for replicas later.

But it just so happened that there were two locals in the team, and finally the trophy was taken over by Xu Beifang.

Originally Xu Beifang intended to send the trophy home, and then have a meal with his family.

But Danking insisted on going to 'Nice Internet Cafe' to check in, and this time NIKO and others also came to join the fun.

Xu Beifang tidied up his home a bit, ensuring there was nothing that couldn't be broadcast, and then opened the door again to welcome his teammates into his home: "Come in."

Behind him was COL's operation, who had a sudden whim to shoot a store-exploring 'Nice's Home' review.

His wife went out to buy groceries, there was no one at home for the time being, so it didn't matter too much for shooting.

Putting on slippers for his teammates, he started leading his teammates to explain one by one: "This is the living room, this is the kitchen, this is the dining room, this is the gaming room, which is also the place I use when streaming."

"This is my small gym, some fitness items and my few bicycles are placed inside."

A group of people heard this and walked in.

Looking at the neatly placed fitness equipment and the five bicycles hanging on the wall, JKS exclaimed: "Your life looks so self-disciplined, it feels so tiring."

Xu Beifang explained: "For me, being active is more comfortable than lying down."

They continued to walk forward, and saw a room with the door closed.

Xu Beifang's destination happened to be here, and he opened the door smoothly: "This is the place where I put the trophy, you can call it a glory room or a trophy wall."

The layout of the whole room was a bit closed, there was no extra light, and without turning on the lights, they only vaguely saw something flashing.

Then Xu Beifang turned on the lights, and instantly there was a "Wow!" sound.

After not turning on the lights, they only vaguely saw the appearance of the trophy.

But this opened, their eyes only had those exaggerated number of trophies left.

In Xu Beifang's glory room, all of them used specific trophy cabinets to put these trophies together.

Danking said unbelievably: "So many?"

He of course knew Xu Beifang's glory was a lot, but he hadn't really calculated how many there were.

Seeing so many trophies placed in front of him at this moment, he knew how brilliant this guy's past was.

JKS also exclaimed: "Some surprised, is this all or?"

Xu Beifang explained: "Just a relatively important part, second-line matches except for the ZOTAC Cup trophy, the rest I didn't put in, some take up too much space..."

Danking had the heart to complain about Xu Beifang's Versailles, but had to say Xu Beifang really had this ability.

In this guy's peak period, second-line matches were indeed like picking up money for him.

He didn't count them, but the visible trophies already had nearly twenty, not counting the medals and various honors given by HLTV placed beside them.

Everyone was looking at Xu Beifang's past record, and Xu Beifang also opened a new cabinet from the side, putting the IEM Chengdu trophy he just got not long ago into it.

NIKO noticed the trophy in the center of the trophy stand.

"This is?"

"My first Major trophy, this trophy is quite heavy, I almost dropped it when I lifted it at the time."

Xu Beifang had a bad smile on his face: "I remember the day we won the championship, it seemed to be device's birthday..."

Originally this championship could be the best birthday gift for device, but Vitality broke A Team's dominance, finally letting device have a very unforgettable birthday.

"Esports is like this, you are destined to crush countless people's dreams while chasing your own." Xu Beifang said some cold words very plainly.

NIKO sighed: "But unfortunately, I always become the person who is crushed."

"I often suspect that I might not be worthy of winning a Major championship."

Xu Beifang said with hatred for iron not becoming steel: "Looks like you haven't won enough championships."

At this time Danking asked: "Not right, I remember your trophy wasn't placed in your own internet cafe before?"

Hearing Danking ask about this, Xu Beifang was also quite helpless: "Nothing to be done, before it was placed on the trophy wall of the internet cafe, and then it was stolen by a spirit boy, fortunately it was chased back."

Everyone asked Xu Beifang about the origin of some trophies one after another, and Xu Beifang answered them one by one.

After all members finished watching, a group of people slowly retreated, Danking was still marveling: "You have so many trophies, it's really like selling vegetables in the vegetable market, too damn many!"

Xu Beifang shrugged: "This is just a kind of affirmation of my past efforts."

Then he pointed to the IEM Chengdu trophy he just put in: "But this is the glory we created together, you all have a bit of confidence in me, brothers each have one in the future, okay!"

Xu Beifang's teasing way of saying this directly amused everyone.

This sounded like trophies were really rotten on the street.

But Xu Beifang's exaggerated trophy wall also made them more confident in their own captain.

Because this guy is too damn strong!

At this time Danking suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then said to Xu Beifang: "You move a chair over, and then we take a photo together, I'll post a tweet later."

Xu Beifang's brows wrinkled, he felt Danking wasn't holding back any good farts.

Staying in Huaxia for two days, the COL group boarded the plane to Malta, preparing for the next EPL S19 season match.

As a league-system match, the ESL tournament official set up a sign-in place two days before the match, ensuring that every participating team arrived in advance.

If a team didn't arrive due to personal reasons of the players or sign-in problems, it would be good for them to contact the team in advance to act as a substitute.

When everyone was queuing at the sign-in place to start signing, the COL members who walked into the conference room instantly became the focus of the crowd.

Vitality arrived much earlier than COL. Zywoo saw Xu Beifang and instantly greeted him, directly giving a big hug: "Beifang, long time no see."

apEX and XTQZZZ also walked over, and shook hands with Xu Beifang one after another: "Congratulations, this comeback is very successful."

CS operation has been around for many years, it's not that there haven't been top players who rested for a few years and then returned, but the final result is often late-night failure, and finally the reputation is all beaten away.

apEX heard what the coach said and hurriedly added: "That must be successful, he wasn't retired because of a decline in level at the time, can the person I fancy be bad?"

"Then Dou Dou, try to beat you up in this EPL." Xu Beifang smiled comfortably, "Prove that your vision is not wrong."

Dou Dou immediately wanted to choke back a few words, but Xu Beifang hurriedly said: "Go sign in, we'll brag later..."

A group of people crowded the COL members to the sign-in place, the staff confirmed the players were correct through photos, they signed their IDs, and then received a player pass.

After the sign-in ended, the COL members heard Xu Beifang suddenly say: "Looks like we have to have a good relationship with A Team in the future."

These words were too abrupt, and everyone didn't understand what he wanted to express.

"Why?" Dou Dou took the conversation.

Xu Beifang turned his head and smiled badly at JKS: "In case JKS suddenly has something to do, we can also go to A Team to borrow Bro to muddle through, I don't believe they can recognize it!"

A group of people around instantly laughed.

JKS had a collapsed small face, but his expression wasn't rich to begin with, and others didn't feel it.

The appearance of JKS and Bro had already become a quite interesting meme in the circle.

After all, they looked too much alike.

You know Faze's commander Karrigan was only similar to JW when he was young, and was teased as JW's cousin.

The two of them were no longer similar, it was already quite good not to have a nickname now.

They chatted on the side, and the G2 group also joined in.

NIKO's cousin hunter took the lead: "I watched that final in the audience, you are really a monster!"

He watched the whole final, actually Faze didn't play badly, even more outstanding than COL.

But Nice's performance was too good, directly pressing down the scales that were originally inclined to Faze.

In the IEM Chengdu match, they had already been eliminated by COL in the top four, but they didn't have too many negative emotions because of this, and even felt a bit of dark joy that couldn't be said clearly when seeing COL win the championship.

Because COL defeated G2, and COL defeated Faze again.

Then G2 and Faze are both defeated by COL, isn't it about the same.

Although he understood this was spiritual victory, sometimes it was unavoidable.

At this time, m0nesy walked over and said to Xu Beifang: "Nice, I learned a lot from the last confrontation, but if there is a chance this time, I will definitely make you look at me with new eyes!"

m0nesy's words were a bit abrupt; after all, when a group of old guys were reminiscing, he appeared in the posture of 'warrior challenging the demon king'.

Xu Beifang just raised his eyebrows.

The m0nesy in front of him wasn't tall, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit, telling everyone he was serious.

He could completely imagine how much he blamed himself after losing that semifinal.

The sniper was originally the most critical existence in the team, but in that semifinal, although he had performance, compared to Xu Beifang and NIKO, he was completely not enough to look at.

Although there were reasons for other G2 members, he indeed didn't play well.

"But it's a pity, we are not in the same group this time." Xu Beifang shrugged and didn't respond directly.

EPL is a league-nature match, there are 32 participating teams, divided into 4 groups.

G2 was divided into Group B, COL was in Group D, so they had no chance to meet before entering the playoffs.

However, m0nesy still read his meaning.

First G2 has to enter the playoffs.

m0nesy pursed his lips and then said firmly: "There will be a chance."

Except for them, Group B was Vitality, Falcons, BB, TheMongolz, TyLoo, M80, and a wild chicken team whose name he couldn't call out.

They analyzed that in the group stage, the ones threatening them were Vitality and TheMongolz, so qualifying shouldn't be a problem.

"I'm looking forward to it." The king of the old era leaned down and looked at him, his exaggerated figure full of oppression.

After m0nesy expressed his thoughts, he greeted NIKO and left with the team.

NIKO looked at the kid's departing figure, slightly sad: "He has become more mature."

In his impression, the kid's personality was actually relatively introverted and humble.

But perhaps it was because he wasn't in front, m0nesy was forced to transform into the big brother in the team.

"Always have to experience it." Xu Beifang's impression of m0nesy was still quite good, young people should be confident.

Danking teased on the side: "I'm really afraid you would eat m0nesy alive just now, your image in the TV series just now was a pure villain."

They were chatting like this when they saw a horse-faced man with a very tall figure waving at them not far away.

NIKO turned his head and looked: "It's JL."

Social terrorist JL quickly brought the NAVI members to them.

JL shook hands with Xu Beifang very familiarly, directly making Xu Beifang not know how to react.

"Hello, Nice!"

"It's really great to see you back, I have always been your fan..."

Xu Beifang instantly alerted: "Do I need to prepare to be beaten up now?"

When he was young, he beat his idol several times as a fan, and later "I am your fan" had become a famous meme in the circle.

NIKO and others were also laughing on the side.

JL said: "No no no, I really am your fan, do you remember after the 2020 HLTV awards ceremony, that time you started a live stream, I specifically asked you in the live stream, I was planning to deliver food at the time, but your words inspired me..."

"Ah?!"

"There's this too?"

"Is it so magical?"

The COL group was all a bit surprised, they didn't expect these two top professional players to have such a small episode.

One was a superstar in the CSGO era, one was a Major champion in the CS2 era.

They were both staggered in their professional periods, but didn't expect to have an intersection.

Xu Beifang recalled: "Seems like there really was such a thing, didn't expect you really succeeded!"

He was also a bit emotional.

Once he was slowly changed by netizens' suggestions, after becoming better, he naturally hoped that he could help others, so he often opened up to others when streaming.

Now finally saw the feedback.

This moment can only be said to be too cool!

"Your words at the time were too useful to me, whenever I was discouraged, I would look at your rise experiences, and then persisted until now."

"It's still your own effort enough to have this achievement, I just said my thoughts at the time." Xu Beifang could only say that this JL's social ability was a bit terrifying, he was a bit unable to bear this praise.

w0nderful beside JL was always like a little white rabbit, constantly peeking at Xu Beifang, as if wanting to say something, but not easy to say.

Xu Beifang directly asked.

"w0nderful, do you have anything?"

w0nderful immediately wanted to deny, because he was actually quite curious about Xu Beifang.

He was S1mple's iron fan, perhaps because of the first-impression, his feeling about Nice, who suppressed S1mple for a long time in his peak period, wasn't very good.

Now he was just coming to join the fun.

But JL directly pulled him to his front: "This guy wants to take a photo with you, he is also your fan."

Xu Beifang didn't expect it was this reason, smiled helplessly: "Then come, I also want to take a photo with S1mple's successor."

Hearing this, the somewhat embarrassed w0nderful immediately leaned over, took out his mobile phone and took a photo.

After the photo ended, w0nderful said thank you.

Xu Beifang reminded: "Although I know you like S1mple very much, you ultimately have to walk your own path, you won't be S1mple, but w0nderful on the arena."

After saying that, Xu Beifang left with COL.

Watching Xu Beifang's departing figure, w0nderful said: "I seem to know why so many people like him."

JL laughed heartily: "That's for sure, a famous succubus!"

"This time we are also in Group D, really want to see what Nice will be like in the match."

w0nderful didn't speak, but he also wanted to see how S1mple was suppressed by Nice when he was so strong.
