Chapter 495

"What is your situation!" Danking, who was defending B alone, was on his way to retake when he saw the kill feed on the top right floating crazily, which also ended the round.

His own teammates' powerful strength made him feel emotion from the bottom of his heart; as a former little partner, he was refreshed in his cognition of Xu Beifang's performance time and time again.

He looked at Xu Beifang with a smile and amazement.

Hearing Danking's inquiry, Elige, who was also in a state of amazement, said with a smile: "I didn't even react, and Beifang had already finished everyone off with the USP; this kill speed is too fast!"

Xu Beifang, who got four kills in the Pistol Round, just smiled and said humbly: "It's just that the feel was good."

Once he said this, the others had even more confidence in their hearts.

As COL's strongest firepower, as long as one of NIKO and Xu Beifang has the feel, then the difficulty of this match today won't be very high.

This boosted their confidence quite a bit.

Entering the second round, they replenished their equipment one after another.

NAVI, who lost the Pistol Round, did not force buy, but honestly performed an ECO to adjust their economy.

Whether to force buy or ECO after losing the Pistol Round has already become a science in CS2.

Because the number of rounds is fewer, the cost of force buying is getting higher and higher.

Only a very small number of teams relying on individual ability will perform force buy attempts, but the win rate is still not high.

Although the former NAVI was one of the teams with the most individual ability in the world, the current NAVI relies more on the team and defaults; it is a relatively systematic team.

Under iM's instructions, they chose the most reasonable economic round to adjust and transition.

They only bought one Flashbang, trying to break through and plant the bomb at A.

But under the combined firepower suppression of JKS and Elige, NAVI only achieved a 5-for-1 result, which was harmless to COL's economy.

The match also quickly entered the first Full Buy Round.

Starting from the third round, both sides were equipped with full armor and full grenades, starting their first probe of the Full Buy Round.

iM directly arranged a tactic to speed up at A after the first Full Buy Round.

He was originally a Commander who liked defaults and tactics; after joining NAVI, he had a wonderful chemical reaction with Coach B1ad3.

Now the overall style of NAVI has become very special.

"The Mid utility is also given enough; pull the people at A into the Donut, don't let them have too good a defensive position," iM added.

After the countdown ended, the tactic unfolded directly.

They gave the VIP Smoke, and then kept throwing flashes at Mid, giving enough pressure.

COL seemed to have fallen for it, coming to Mid to apply pressure at the first moment; two Incendiary Grenades plus an HE Grenade at Mid made it impossible for them to push Mid.

However, iM still carefully probed, and then saw a "fly head" come out in a crouch-peek way, and then instantly fired.

"Da da da!"

【Elige used M4A4 to headshot kill iM】

"They rushed out of Mid! You guys need to be faster!" iM didn't expect COL to play so boldly and immediately reminded in the voice chat.

The opponent had already cleared Mid; if the action at A was slow, they wouldn't be able to get out at all, and the early utility investment would be wasted.

iM also understood, directly throwing a flash and rushing out with big steps.

"A Long directly makes a move; JKS dodged the Flashbang at close range, but another flash came from behind, and iM directly forced a kill on JKS!"

"However, NIKO also threw a Flashbang himself and supplemented from the Donut; this Flashbang had a good effect, NIKO took one out, took the second one out!" Shuijingge exclaimed, "Is there a third one?"

"jL gave a Flashbang, NIKO couldn't turn his back, but Ji Ge's Flashbang persuaded jL to retreat; now jL has no choice but to rethink."

iM frowned; the tactic actually had no big problems, it was just that NIKO's retake speed was too fast this time, forcibly catching them.

Now what's left for them is a 2V4 clutch, which is a bit uncomfortable.

After consideration, he directed his teammates to try again toward B at the second timing.

jL jogged all the way from Spawn; he prepared to go up from B Slope, coordinating with B1t's Black Room to hit the synchronization.

While running into B Outside, he suddenly thought of a question—would Nice push out?

He instantly became cautious, planning to raise his gun and look at B Slope immediately.

The next second, he saw a fly head standing at the corner on the left side of his field of vision.

Nice: You girl!

"Bang!"

【Nice used M4A4 to headshot kill jL】

jL in the camera shook all over; this time he was really scared.

Watching the photographer's camera shoot over, he spread his hands quite aggrievedly.

He couldn't help it either!

B1t, who was already in the Black Room, was also very uncomfortable now; after all, the bomb was intercepted, and the initiative was not in his hands.

And there wasn't much time, so he could only walk from B Small toward B Outside to fight and pick up the bomb.

But just as he pushed for a few seconds, he saw a fly head figure flickering at B Door.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill B1t】

3:0

Their Full Buy Round was destroyed so easily.

B1t was hit by Xu Beifang's shot until he wore a pain mask.

iM felt something was wrong.

He felt there was no problem with the tactical deployment, but during the process of the tactic unfolding, they kept losing people, which was very uncomfortable.

And this COL is really different from their impression.

In their impression before, COL was a North American noob.

But this COL's firepower is a bit exaggeratedly strong.

In the fourth round, NAVI chose a half-armor pistol attempt.

This time, relying on iM's top-tier smoke-mixing attempt, NAVI obtained key information, and then in a wave of synchronization at B, they directly completed the comeback.

NAVI finally got the first round.

The score reached 3:1.

Losing the previous round was a bit uncalled for, so Xu Beifang took the initiative to remind: "We still need to pay attention to the details, but iM did play well."

No one refuted; being ECO-ed was avoidable, and sometimes they still played too loosely.

And just at this moment, NAVI actively called for a tactical timeout.

This put a lot of pressure on them.

After all, NAVI's Coach B1ad3 is the coach who knows how to use timeouts best in the world; his point-taking rate after calling a timeout is very exaggerated.

After consideration, NIKO also planned to make some changes: "In this round, Beifang and Ji Ge, you guys fight for Mid; for B, I'll go do the default, Danking, you help cover them."

"After gaining control of Mid, it will be much easier to play in the early stage."

In professional matches now, the mainstream idea for the defensive side is to focus on controlling the Black Room.

But after discussion, they believe that Mid control is more important.

After gaining Mid control, the pressure on the Donut in the early stage won't be that great, and then the A site can be defended very easily.

As for the B site, the pressure won't be that great because there aren't that many positions for the CT to defend at B, and retaking is still quite easy to play.

Besides, they are also one of the teams that tend to solve problems by relying on clutches, and they won't be afraid of retakes.

So striving to make the retake difficulty smaller is the way to solve the problem.

His positioning was the best, so he quickly communicated the subsequent playstyle: "I won't throw utility to save time; Ji Ge, you and Danking supplement the utility."

After the countdown ended, he directly walked and rushed into Mid.

When entering Mid, he directly stepped on the edge of the steps on the far left of the VIP exit, and then played a movement technique with the KZ acceleration method, directly arriving at the edge above the L position at Mid.

(Edge position on the front left)

Elige and Danking gave the T-Spawn Fire and HE Grenade.

Immediately after, Xu Beifang quickly turned his back to the flash, and after hearing a "pop" sound, turned his head to look at T-Spawn.

The sound of extinguishing fire and the Terrorist peeking out from T-Spawn appeared at the same time; Xu Beifang fired without hesitation.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill iM】

"Above the L position!" iM quickly reported the position, then said in surprise, "Can you still jump up to this position in CS2?"

This kind of position is very demanding on movement, so it's not the first pre-aim point, and he didn't expect it.

And Nice's reaction is a bit too fast, right? He hadn't even pulled his gun up yet.

jL took a breath and called iM over: "Let's double-boost, see if we can get information..."

He still wanted to take the kill back; this way, getting the first kill by the CT at the start, if they don't find some opportunities later, then the attack will be very difficult to handle.

"NAVI unfolded a double-boost behind the T-Spawn Smoke, and the Jump Platform side is also restless, but Beifang is still not moving because Ji Ge is watching the Jump Platform for him; he has no pressure on his side, he only needs to manage T-Spawn here."

Shuijingge stared at the two Terrorists behind the T-Spawn Smoke and couldn't help but doubt: "But can he really react to this wave? NAVI's movements are very careful; they are crouching up, the two-person combination is finished, directly coming to Mid..."

"They are still getting up to get information... Ah!!"

The scene in the match made Shuijingge's small eyes widen instantly.

"What is this! jL just had a movement when getting up, and Beifang directly killed him in seconds, and iM, who was the mount, was also taken away by his spray; can he even be aware of this?"

He couldn't help but evaluate: "Beifang, you are really too much of a Commander; as long as he kills everyone in this round, he doesn't need to command!"

"Beifang's triple kill directly persuaded NAVI to retreat; w0nderful peeked again on the B Outside box, caught NIKO's timing of scouting, and directly killed NIKO, but on the Jump Platform side, Beifang and Ji Ge directly rushed up, not giving any chance at all!"

"B1t was directly killed, and w0nderful could only save the AWP."

Shuijingge was amused.

"This is really too invincible; he just stood in a command traffic position, and then gave seconds to enemies who appeared in his field of vision, and even those who didn't appear; the T-Spawn double-boost wanted to try, he not only hit the person getting information, but even hit the mount; this firepower is really a bit exaggerated."

The score reached 4:1.

On the COL player bench, everyone bumped fists.

Danking feigned helplessness and said: "These netizens say my data doesn't act like a human, but can I grab any kills?"

"What to do if the teammates are too capable of killing?"

Xu Beifang and the others all smiled knowingly; Danking's clowning could always make their mood better.

COL is like this; they only need to kill, and Danking needs to consider more atmosphere-maker remarks.

COL's early rhythm was smooth, and NAVI became a little autistic at this moment.

Except for that ECO comeback round, they didn't even manage to plant the bomb in the other rounds; both sides ended the battle in the early stage, which made them quite uncomfortable.

NAVI called for a timeout again and made an adjustment.

This time their ECO didn't come back, but they successfully entered the bomb site.

And Xu Beifang clearly felt that NAVI was consciously accelerating the rhythm of the match.

After entering the Full Buy Round later, NAVI successfully started to take points by relying on two consecutive speed-ups and jL's brave breakthrough.

But the rhythm wasn't always in NAVI's hands, and COL was still taking points.

Finally, before the first half came, the score reached 7:4.

The current NAVI, because of their excellent discipline and defaults, is even more outstanding on the defensive side.

So if there is a chance, Xu Beifang wants to gain more advantages before switching sides.

For this final round, he still wants to strive to take it.

Although both sides played back and forth, their economy has actually always been good.

So when the final round of the first half came, Xu Beifang thought for a moment: "NIKO, can I play the AWP?"

The early instructions are generally issued by NIKO now; although he can participate, he is still quite restrained most of the time.

NIKO heard this and pursed his lips: "Play, play, but since you are playing the AWP, then follow your own ideas; the others basically default to map control."

In the COL team, Xu Beifang and he are the two people who have the right to fire freely.

However, because he participated in the early command, NIKO often sets himself up well, and many times it is Xu Beifang who wanders crazily on the map.

But it must be said that Xu Beifang is indeed able to crazily get kills on the map; there is nothing to say about this.

They didn't arrange much layout here.

Basically, it's mainly defaults; it's mainly because NAVI doesn't fight with them at Mid, but instead goes to both sides, so the significance of their Mid map control isn't very great.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang directly arrived at the B site.

He gave an Incendiary Grenade toward B Slope as usual.

This is the common anti-rush utility for B Slope.

But Xu Beifang's move this time wasn't just to prevent a rush; it was more to let the opponent relax their vigilance.

He arrived at the close point of B Slope all the way, and then opened the scope to look outside B Door.

The next second, a fire from the opponent came and exploded under his feet; at the same time, a Terrorist peeked out from outside B Door and took a look.

"--Bang!"

【Nice used AWP to kill jL】

"Nice AWP at B Slope!" jL looked at the kill information on the top right and quickly reported the position.

This wave directly gave him a pain mask.

Sometimes the pain mask doesn't appear in just an instant, but is an accumulation of many moments.

When he happily played the "I am your fan" meme in front of Xu Beifang a few days ago, there was also the appearance of the "fan beating up the idol" plot in his heart.

But today, truly facing each other, he roughly calculated that in the 12 rounds of the first half, he should have been killed by Nice about 9 times.

He was completely numb.

So while reporting the position, he typed to complain: "Brother, stop killing me in seconds!"

w0nderful didn't manage the bad-tempered jL, but focused his attention on B Slope; he aimed his AWP directly at B Slope, starting to consciously find angles to graze, but he felt the opponent had a high probability of leaving after getting the first kill.

But after Xu Beifang got the first kill, he just looked at the fire thrown by NAVI, then found an angle, and continued to aim the AWP at B Slope.

In his view, a Rifleman needs to retreat after getting the first kill because they might be counter-flashed.

It's because the fault tolerance rate isn't high.

But the Sniper Rifle is different; this thing is taken out to be used as a big killing weapon.

After he fired a shot, the opponent must have thought he ran to the back point to act as a holding sniper.

But you have to know, among the several major players of offensive snipers back then, he was also one of them.

S1mple likes to repeek to find people to duel.

He likes to carry the sniper and push forward, hard-eating the opponent's map control.

He waited patiently behind the Incendiary Grenade and soon welcomed an opportunity.

"--Bang!"

Xu Beifang pulled the trigger, and another kill appeared on the top right.

【Nice used AWP to kill w0nderful】

"NIKO, you lean toward A; I've cleared B Slope almost enough, be careful of the opponent speeding up at A."

When hearing Xu Beifang's instruction, NIKO was a bit confused.

No, brother, is this how you command?

If you really kill the opponent, you don't need to command?

"NIKO reinforces B, leaving Beifang alone at A; Beifang's AWP has already cut down two people, but does this NAVI really dare to come over and hit B again?"

"In this case, the B site is a bit dangerous; a sniper is defending B alone, iM and B1t directly push forward from the Black Room, Beifang's AWP is still at B Slope; let's see how iM operates this wave!"

"A spin jump, iM was really caught by him!"

"No one is trading; then Beifang moved instantly; the remaining two are both in the Black Room, the AWP directly counter-aims at the Black Room, but NAVI is a bit steady, making Beifang not very sure; turning back, he makes a big-pull peek, kills iM with one shot, but B1t successfully traded."

"But even if the trade was successful, it's only a 1V4 clutch left for him."

"COL members have already surrounded them; B1t just planted the bomb, and B Slope has already made a move; Ji Ge directly sprayed him down."

"This Beifang, breakthrough, sniping, commanding, what else is there that he can't do!" Shuijingge really opened his eyes today.

And as NIKO defused the bomb, the score also reached 8:4.

The first half officially ended, and the NAVI player bench had been beaten into silence.
