Chapter 498: 52 NIKO

In this long gun round, NIKO and Elige were killed early in the Mid struggle, so they saw the whole process of Xu Beifang's operation in the clutch.

Even knowing Xu Beifang's level, this triple kill while stepping on fire in the clutch still made them open their mouths wide.

The moment the round ended, NIKO laughed and said: "This is fake! You took them all out like this?"

Elige also shook his head with a smile on the side: "I think it's amazing enough to take out two in this situation. I didn't expect you to be able to stop and aim to take out Xiao Li Zi too. You're too calm!"

As a top-tier player, he put himself in his own perspective; if he had encountered Xu Beifang's situation at that time, he would also have had a high probability of trading two.

The first one was caught by timing and taken out, the opponent had no chance to fight back, and the second one was taken out while stepping on fire; he also felt he could do it.

But taking out the third one was just too outrageous.

If it were Elige, he probably could only spray and transfer over, directly controlling the recoil to the end.

But he felt that the probability of not being able to take out Xiao Li Zi was high.

This might be the gap between a top-tier rifleman like him and a superstar.

In this situation, Xu Beifang could still create a miracle and forcibly take out three.

And letting him operate, he could only take out two.

This one kill can sometimes affect the direction of the game.

The COL members were immersed in amazement, and the netizens in the live stream room, even watching the kill replay, were all boiling.

【It's outrageous, he can even stop and move during the recoil control!】

【This secondary positioning point-shot after spraying is too perverted】

【NAVI is numb, how to play this】

【Feels like this is a non-priority match】

【The parameters are indeed a bit high】

【Beifang has that donk feeling】

During NAVI's timeout, the netizens were immersed in a carnival.

But there were also many fans who remained rational; Map 2 had just begun, and Anubis wasn't a map COL was particularly good at.

From the advancement of the first few rounds, it could be clearly felt that COL didn't play very smoothly.

Subsequent maneuvering might be a bit difficult; it's still too early to be happy now.

NAVI's tactical timeout ended quickly.

After the timeout ended, NAVI also directly launched a wave of unconventional play.

They still gave that smoke grenade at the A-Stairs entrance.

But this time, the smoke grenade wasn't just to restrict the Terrorists from getting information, but to coordinate directly for a forward push.

Black Room, Mid Bridge Hole, and A-Door—these three positions, NAVI directly synchronized to come out to look for opportunities.

This wave of NAVI's rhythm was too fast, which the COL members didn't expect at all. Xu Beifang and Danking, who were controlling the map outside A, forcibly took out IM, who was stepping on fire and rushing out from A-Door.

But they were taken out by B1t, who jumped down from the Mid Bridge.

Xu Beifang immediately gave the command to rush B.

But the confrontation in this wave on B Site wasn't ideal either; after trading people, it left JKS with a 1V3 clutch.

JKS chose to look for people at the first moment and failed; facing NAVI's smoke-defuse, he forcibly took out two, but it was a pity he was defused by the opponent.

The score reached 1:3; NAVI's force-buy succeeded, taking another point.

"This B1ad3 is really annoying~" Xu Beifang smiled somewhat helplessly. As NAVI's head coach, this guy's tactical sense is too keen, always able to find the weak points in the opponent's tactics.

Although NAVI lost the previous round, B1ad3 saw their problems in map control coordination and used the previously laid-out tactics to make a variation.

Although Xu Beifang was on guard against this tactic, it was another matter when it came to truly dealing with it.

Mainly he didn't expect B1t to jump down directly from the Mid Bridge.

B1t's opening playstyle had a bit of a "last stand" meaning, and his thinking was too strange, leading to his negligence.

NIKO comforted: "This is exactly what we need. Come on, come on, offense is the advantageous side; let's strive to chew off a few more points in the first half."

Immediately after, he looked at the economy and said: "Let's force buy too; our economy has some problems. Everyone spend all the economy and average it out."

Because the number of deaths was different, it led to the team having 2k-4k economy, so NIKO chose to sort it out.

This way, if this round is lost, save another wave in the next round, and then you can play a full-armor, full-utility long gun round.

But that was also the last resort. First, they still intended to operate this force-buy round.

Xu Beifang had been killed for two consecutive rounds, so his economy wasn't very good, so he chose to buy a full-armor Desert Eagle with some utility.

JKS saw this action and threw the AK over: "Beifang, you get the Hero AK, you can give the Desert Eagle to me."

Xu Beifang's Hero AK had already gained the recognition of his teammates through the match, and they were also willing to provide the AK to Xu Beifang to operate.

Xu Beifang shook his head: "It's okay, play it yourself. I'll just play with the Desert Eagle."

The trust of his teammates naturally made him very happy, but he didn't hope that his teammates would develop too strong a reliance on him.

He felt that the members in this current lineup all had the ability to Carry the match.

But now his outstanding ability, on the contrary, made resources lean too much towards him.

This is not good.

At the very least, he doesn't like the situation of winning the game by dragging four every day later.

……

"NAVI is still strong."

In the studio, Vitality player FlameZ sighed, "Their mid-game play is too beautiful."

Their match hadn't started yet, and under apEX's suggestion, a group of people had nothing to do and came to the studio to watch the match.

Two English-stream commentators were commenting passionately in front of them, and a huge screen was hanging not far away, allowing them to see the confrontation between NAVI and COL.

Hearing FlameZ's sigh, Zywoo also explained his thoughts: "Their playstyle is different from ours. Did you notice? As long as Xiao Li Zi dies, NAVI's formation moves particularly beautifully. This is their strength."

apEX smiled: "NAVI has also reached the harvest period now. This kind of playstyle of theirs, when they first formed this team, was played particularly difficultly, because this kind of playstyle requires day-and-night training and grinding to create such a tight system."

"Then why can COL also create such a system in such a short time?" FlameZ questioned.

NAVI has played this lineup for a long time, and it was indeed very abstract at first, but it has also been playing better and better recently.

He can understand why NAVI can be this strong, but why can COL, which has been formed for less than two months, wrestle with NAVI?

This is what he doesn't understand.

apEX wanted to explain, but heard the voice of the English-stream commentator next to him attract their attention.

"Nice is probing in Mid with a Desert Eagle, he is pushing forward, but JL just happened to go to A Site to help!"

"Nice seems to have caught an amazing opportunity!"

apEX watched JL miss the timing, allowing his old teammate to sneak all the way into the Link from Mid.

He turned his head and smiled at Zywoo.

This guy is indeed still this bold.

Xu Beifang heard the footsteps of the CT inside A Site.

However, most of his teammates were close to B Site in this round, so he actively sneaked from the Link towards B Site.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Brothers, I caught an amazing timing, this round might be a comeback!"

Then he thought about it and said: "You guys leak some movement outside B, help me hook these few guys on B Site, don't let them have the idea of rotating back."

He is holding a Desert Eagle in his hand now; if the people on B Site intend to rotate to A, he might be a bit miserable.

After hearing Xu Beifang's reminder, NIKO immediately did a spin-jump at the entrance to take a look, making it look like he was getting information.

"Bang!"

【w0nderful used SSG 08 to headshot NIKO】

NIKO rubbed his eyes helplessly.

"This Wang Defa, he really got S1mple's experience card!"

He wanted to save some utility in this wave, waiting for Xu Beifang to get into position to coordinate from inside and outside, and there would be some utility that could be used in the clutch.

But he didn't expect this Wang Defa to take him out with one shot from the SSG 08.

He was still spin-jumping in the air.

Do you have to be this accurate?

However, after being killed, he also smoothly became the Fountain Commander, starting to mobilize the battlefield.

"Wait for a bit on the front... you can leak some footsteps. Once Beifang's gunfire rings, you guys start the explosive bomb."

Xu Beifang sneaked out all the way from the Link, and then he got vision of B Site, standing with an SSG 08 at the Dead Point on the B Platform, and then there was a CT standing on his right, and it seemed like there was another one in the Black Room.

After reporting the information to his teammates, he roughly considered the order of shooting, and Xu Beifang chose to solve the easy one first.

He placed his crosshair on w0nderful's head, and then the Desert Eagle pulled the trigger; he intended to take out w0nderful and immediately shrink back into the Link, waiting for the teammates in front to explode the bomb before coming out from the Link.

However, the moment he pulled the trigger, w0nderful moved to the right with the SSG 08.

Xu Beifang was instantly a bit panicked, the Desert Eagle quickly adjusted, but w0nderful strafed back again.

"Beifang is pulling the back with a Desert Eagle, aiming first and then firing, but the Desert Eagle one shot, two shots, three shots!" Leon Kai was stunned. "Finally, the gun took Wang Defa out, but Xiao Li Zi also strafed out from the CT Spawn direction and took Beifang out!"

"It's over! He is holding a cursed weapon in his hand!"

Xu Beifang also didn't expect that the Desert Eagle would only take Wang Defa out on the last shot after precise aiming in this wave.

He turned his head and looked at NIKO in surprise.

So, brother, was this the weird thing you encountered back then?

However, he delayed too much in this wave, and it also brought many unknown possibilities to this round.

"The Desert Eagle's back is indeed very hard to hit, Xiao Li Zi successfully traded the kill, and COL's frontal explosive bomb also directly unfolded. The CT Spawn smoke is given, and a group of people directly started rushing the Black Room."

"But Xiao Li Zi is directly mixing behind the CT Spawn smoke; can he have any gains?"

"He mixed one to death, two! Danking was also mixed to be crippled!"

"Danking directly planted the bomb, JKS is vigilantly starting to guard the bomb, but this pineapple bomb from JL!"

Accompanied by the explosion of a hand grenade, a kill message appeared in the upper right corner.

【JL+Aleksib used hand grenade to kill Danking】

"Danking was also taken out; COL seems to have messed up this round that had a chance to be taken."

"Now JKS is left facing this 1V4 clutch; NAVI only needs to wait for people."

JKS entered the clutch mode, while Xu Beifang reminded: "There should be two on B Site, Xiao Li Zi at CT Spawn and IM in the Black Room. There was no sound of anti-rush on A Site before, so there shouldn't be anyone coming from your back; you only need to manage the front."

However, even if he gave roughly the information, JKS still didn't have much room to operate in this clutch.

JKS also calmed down.

He chose to back against the bomb site pillar, his crosshair holding the inside of the Black Room.

1V4 clutch, he still needs to guard this bomb, and there isn't much room to operate temporarily.

He quietly held the Black Room, and suddenly a flashbang was thrown out from the Black Room.

JKS instantly turned his head to dodge, and he also realized that the opponent was coming in this wave.

After turning away from the flashbang, he directly turned his head and sprayed at the CT who strafed out from the Black Room!

And the moment he took this person out, the muscle memory of turning his head every three seconds made him subconsciously turn his head and start spraying in the direction of the footsteps.

"All NAVI members are in position, IM in the Black Room directly threw a flash to start, JKS's 1-on-4 clutch, turned away from the flash, strafed out and took one first, then turned back and transferred to take B1t out too! JL's trade didn't succeed!"

"One Xiao Li Zi is left to bullfight with him; JKS is pulling around the bomb site pillar, Xiao Li Zi is in hot pursuit, time is actually running out, Xiao Li Zi directly rushed up to fight a last stand!"

"Xiao Li Zi's health is ultimately healthier, winning this duel with a triple kill, but is the time really enough?"

Leon Kai's gaze was tightly fixed on the C4 progress bar above his head, because both sides kept fighting, leading to a very low economy; NAVI didn't buy a defuse kit in this round.

The moment Xiao Li Zi defused the bomb, it overlapped with the 10-second countdown again; they didn't know if it was enough.

"C4 has two seconds left, one second, C4 still exploded!!" Leon Kai's voice, which was like dead water, had ups and downs. "Australia's last cowboy, clutch master JKS! He finally came back!"

"This wave he completely became that big spinning top, almost in a spinning way, winning this impossible clutch!"

Leon Kai shouted excitedly: "This round is too exaggerated, all are gods fighting!"

"Look at the COL player area, a group of people are already crazy."

They were indeed like crazy.

Because in their expectation, this round basically didn't have much room to operate.

1V4 clutch, NAVI's discipline was full and didn't give any chances.

But who could have thought that this Australian big spinning top really spun up!

Xu Beifang was originally a bit disappointed and blamed himself, but seeing JKS spin up and take three people out, his hands were already raised high.

Finally, although he didn't beat Xiao Li Zi, the moment the C4 exploded, he directly raised his arms and shouted loudly: "JKS, you really can spin too much! I told you you could do it! Giving you this AK was really a foreshadowing!"

NIKO was also amused: "Can this even be taken? Too strong, JKS!"

Xu Beifang turned his head to look at the hero who just contributed, praising: "I was already prepared to start taking the blame, you being able to kill through the opponent is simply too great!"

JKS shook his head: "Taking the blame for what? Didn't you kill one? Your role in this wave is very big."

Xu Beifang caught an amazing timing in Mid, making this round have the possibility of operation.

Although he didn't manage to play a screen-clearing picture afterwards, he also provided them with huge information and possibilities.

The most critical thing was that Xiao Li Zi at CT Spawn played well, he wallbanged two, and also wallbanged the bomb planter to be crippled.

This was the key to the collapse of the clutch.

If the front wasn't traded too much, their chance of winning after planting the bomb and defending was also quite big.

NIKO and Xu Beifang bumped fists, and also comforted: "I told you there's something weird about NAVI's back, you didn't believe it before."

Xu Beifang was speechless when he heard this statement; he didn't believe that NAVI's back had something weird.

"Could it be that I was infected after talking to Dian Ge yesterday?"

……

After this comeback, COL's rhythm was great; NAVI force-bought again, but ultimately failed to come back this time.

Subsequent NAVI directly entered the economic round, COL smoothly took it, directly reversing the score to 4:3.

And in the subsequent long gun rounds, the confrontation between the two sides gradually became scorched.

The audience could clearly see that NAVI's defensive coordination was very strong, and the rotation speed was very fast.

But on COL's side, their individual ability was more outstanding.

Since that top-tier clutch by JKS, Nice, NIKO, and Elige also took a 1V2, 1V1, and 1V2 clutch respectively.

Finally, the first half ended, and the score was locked at 8:4.

After finishing the offensive side, COL achieved a 4-round score advantage.
