Chapter 503

Successfully winning the first two rounds made the mood of the COL members quite good.

After all, they got off to a good start on Map 1, and things would likely go more smoothly next.

"The opponents don't have much economy this round," Xu Beifang reminded.

An average economy of 2000 + 2400 in loss bonuses, even added together, couldn't cover the cost of a full-buy configuration for the Terrorists.

So they had more abundant resources overall.

However, NIKO didn't make a conservative decision, still keeping the idea of taking the initiative.

"Beifang, you and Ji Ge try to push forward in Mid and take control of Mid. I'll push over from the Black Room, and we'll clear B Small together."

Compared to using utility to consume resources, his idea was to use utility to fight for early map control.

According to Coach Xiaoxiao's words, they needed to play what they were good at, rather than following the opponent's rhythm.

"COL is still taking the initiative to come and take control of Mid. With two sets of utility, the Terrorists have no possibility of controlling the map," Wanjiqi quickly commentated on the early game's maneuvering. "But VP is also very smart, using a Jump Platform smoke to cut off the connection between Mid and the Black Room. NIKO in the Black Room was directly burned out by fire!"

"So the CT finally took control of Mid, but the numbers are at a disadvantage again. Beifang and Ji Ge can only actively push forward to look for kills."

"What about electronic at the T-spawn? electronic is holding his angle very tightly. Beifang traded quickly, but was also hit to low health by electronic's bullets. In that case, the Terrorists at B Site know what the situation is."

"B Site directly starts throwing grenades. Danking and JKS simply can't stop them."

With the Terrorists throwing the first and second smoke, JKS and Danking simply couldn't play.

They wanted to try a wave, but VP's follow-up utility directly blasted them to half health.

Now the remaining three guys were all at low health.

Forget it, just save the weapons.

As the C4 exploded at B Site, the numbers at the top of the big screen jumped to 2:1.

"I felt something was wrong when I saw that Jump Platform smoke, and this Black Room fire burned me out directly," NIKO said helplessly.

The opponents threw the Jump Platform smoke, which meant they were going to isolate Mid and just control the Black Room.

He reacted immediately, but the opponents' utility was faster.

Xu Beifang thought for a moment and suggested: "How about we actively give up the Black Room and try concentrating the main force in Mid? First actively control Mid, then rotate back and clear the Black Room together."

Elige nodded: "We can try that."

JKS mentioned: "Then can we leave A Site completely open?"

Xu Beifang nodded: "You follow us to Mid at the start, but you adapt to the situation near Donut."

To deal with VP's battlefield-splitting offensive, they made a simple adjustment.

Soon the fourth round officially began.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang directly took the main force into Mid.

He kept turning away from flashes in the gaps of throwing utility to deal with VP's possible strong push into Mid.

But the CT didn't exert any pressure on Mid at first, though that Jump Platform smoke was still thrown.

【Don't be so pessimistic, when COL played G2 at IEM Chengdu last time, COL's building also played quite well】

【Very simple, just Ban the building, isn't it okay?】

【Actually, if I have to say, the most interesting one is A team playing Liquid, using Ma Xixi's words, that is father beating son, top-tier blood suppression, haha】

【You really don't say, today's match is full of grudges, the historical contradictions between A team and Liquid, the contradictions between Electronic and A team's system, it's really interesting】

【Conversely, the confrontation between the little bee and the galaxy battleship at the bottom, looks like the combat power is full, but there are not so many gimmicks】

Danking wiped his face delicately with a face towel, stood on tiptoe and glanced at Xu Beifang's phone screen, "Swiping the forum again? What are the netizens chatting about?"

Xu Beifang saw him finish washing up, took his things and walked out, sharing like a goblin while walking: "Netizens are really a group of talents, if they didn't say it, I wouldn't have discovered it, we are playing Liquid vs A team next."

"Electronic leads the team on Liquid's side, the gimmick is full. In terms of teams, Liquid and A team can be considered enemies meeting with red eyes; in terms of individuals, Electronic was poached by A team three times before..."

"Good guy, this is a bitter encounter with yellow hair on the ring." However, Danking noticed the details in Xu Beifang's words, "Actually three times?"

【electronic used AK47 to headshot kill Elige】

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill electronic through smoke】

"Explosive smoke at T-spawn... Sigh! Beifang, good trade!" Elige was a bit surprised by his captain's reaction speed.

You have to know the smoke had just exploded, and he had just been taken down by electronic, but electronic was gone in a flash.

The super-fast reaction speed allowed them to make up for the loss of numbers caused by missing the timing.

"JKS, come over and help me throw a smoke, be quick, otherwise a flash will do."

Now his position was exposed, so the anti-rush action had to be faster.

But he didn't expect that before JKS arrived, he heard the sound of grenades exploding behind him again.

Xu Beifang immediately realized the opponents' anti-rush wasn't over, moved one body length to the right, and turned around at the same time.

AK47 bullets were constantly following him, but Fame at the T-spawn was getting anxious.

In this level of competition, the action of exploding smoke is all about instant positioning and seeking a quick kill.

But he didn't expect that after Jame exploded the smoke, he pulled out and saw Nice on the Jump Platform.

But just as his crosshair pulled over to fire, Nice in his field of vision made a big pull to the right.

Holy crap, buddy, you have kill-intent sensing!

Then as the smoke grenade slowly gathered, his field of vision became less and less, and he panicked even more.

From the audience's perspective, Fame's operation this wave was a bit inhuman.

He sprayed a full magazine at Xu Beifang on the Jump Platform, but only hit one shot.

"Ah!! This Fame's spray is inhuman!!" Wanjiqi was also shocked by the scene, his voice suddenly increasing. "His timing was good enough, Beifang just happened to turn around to look at the Jump Platform, but Fame just emptied a whole magazine!"

"And JKS also rotated back and took him down!"

"But Beifang's movement caused the Jump Platform smoke to dissipate. FL1T caught Beifang's back, but what is this? The back-shot virus is still spreading!! Can FL1T suppress him?"

Xu Beifang didn't expect VP's actions to be so fast. Just after being rescued at the T-spawn, he was hit from the long distance of B Small.

Fortunately, the opponent's spray didn't finish him off, giving him a chance to operate.

Xu Beifang turned around, positioned, and fired one shot at FL1T, who was panicking and trying to escape at the B-door entrance.

"Bang!"

【Nice used AK47 to headshot kill FL1T】

The weapon seized from electronic in the previous round played a huge role at this moment.

"Oh!! This FL1T is also inhuman. He sprayed from a long distance, but was counter-killed by Beifang with one shot!" Wanjiqi laughed. "VP is dizzy now. Several smoke explosions weren't handled well, and instead, they actively tried to put themselves at a disadvantage!"

"But Beifang's shot is also accurate. His attention was initially attracted to Mid, and he didn't expect the smoke behind him to dissipate just right. Although FL1T gave an opportunity, this guy also happened to seize it. Turning around and firing one shot—it's truly accurate!"

After Xu Beifang finished this shot, he also laughed.

His attention was entirely on Mid, and he didn't expect the sudden attack from behind. It was almost a subconscious turn, basically positioning completed by muscle memory.

After this wave, the adrenaline started to surge.

However, he knew the match wasn't over yet, so he quickly retreated from the Jump Platform under JKS's cover.

Now the situation was 4 vs 2; it's no exaggeration to say the advantage was with them.

They returned directly to the back point, waiting for the opponents to make their move.

VP was helpless. In a 2 vs 4 situation, Jame still had a sniper rifle in his hand.

He could only call n0rb3r7 over, and the two tried to push up from B Slope.

Well, mainly n0rb3r7 was pushing, and he was supervising from behind with the big sniper.

Then, as n0rb3r7 was taken down by NIKO, Jame didn't say a word and directly ran away with the big sniper.

As the round countdown hit zero, the score reached 3:1.

Only then did Xu Beifang have the opportunity to share his emotions with his teammates: "That point just now cracked me up. The opponents were frantically exploding smoke, FL1T caught me in the back and sprayed a magazine, and I turned around and one-tapped him, haha."

"I was startled at the time, and then very quickly, I turned around and pulled over and fired one shot. I reckon FL1T was stunned, haha."

JKS added: "Not just FL1T, Fame also emptied a magazine when he was hitting you at Mid."

JKS was watching the bullets hitting beside Xu Beifang, scaring him into quickly coming up to trade.

"So both of them missed their sprays while hitting your back?" Danking was also amused. "What kind of back-shot urban legend is this?"

At this time, Xu Beifang noticed NIKO was very quiet. "NIKO, why aren't you laughing? Don't you like to laugh?"

NIKO: "I have facial paralysis."

The COL voice chat was full of a lively atmosphere.

But immediately after, NIKO continued to issue the early-game tactical decisions.

"VP doesn't have much economy left. They will probably all force-buy this round and come up with an unconventional tactic."

"In that case, let's put one person in Mid, perform utility suppression as usual, then JKS hangs alone at A, and the other three go to B."

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang moved towards B Site as usual.

Because the playstyle this round was conservative, they didn't push too far forward.

They just let Danking coordinate with NIKO to control the Black Room.

However, he was still hanging at the first entrance when he suddenly saw two grenades flying towards him. Xu Beifang tried his best to run away, but the grenades arrived faster than him!

"Boom!"

【Jame+electronic used grenade to kill Nice】

"VP didn't speed up at first, but used two grenades to blast the first entrance at the second timing. This grenade blast actually killed Beifang!"

"In that case, VP directly started to speed up!"

"Pushing into B Slope and Black Room together, Danking, who was holding the angle, was persuaded to retreat by a flashbang, and his shot missed. In that case, we can only look at NIKO at the close point."

"How many can NIKO take? Caught one, second! Third!!"

Wanjiqi's voice suddenly increased: "This NIKO is still killing while alone in the Black Room! He wiped out the main force rushing the Black Room all by himself!"

"Danking turned back to help hold the bomb site. Fame specifically waited for a flashbang to anti-rush, but before the flash exploded, Danking pushed out and saw Fame, and took Fame down with one shot!"

"Jame saw the situation was bad and was already retreating to save his weapon, but he also understood that it was too early, and the opponents might not give him the chance to save it!"

"Elige touched up from the Jump Platform and was caught by Jame and taken down with one shot, but NIKO pulled out and fired another shot—it has to be him!"

The barrage on the secondary screen also started to scroll.

【Ni!!】

【NIKO!!】

【This Black Room is a bit invincible!】

【What's the situation today? Beifang started spinning at the beginning, and NIKO has entered an invincible state from the front.】

【Playing against VP is very exciting~】

At the COL player seats, Xu Beifang looked at the kill information in the top right corner.

He also happily shouted "NICE!".

NIKO heard this shout and said unhappily: "Your ID takes advantage of us too much; every time we celebrate, we have to shout your ID."

Xu Beifang laughed: "As expected of you, NIKO. I thought B Site was going to fall after I was targeted, but I didn't expect you to stand up."

"Hmph, of course." NIKO smiled quite proudly.

But the smile at the corner of his mouth stopped quickly because he heard the second half of Xu Beifang's sentence.

"Sure enough, as long as you are given the front, you are invincible!"

What kind of talk is this? What is this talk!

What do you mean "as long as I'm given the front, I'm invincible!"

Clearly my back... forget it, I just need to cry for a while...

This Beifang is too bullying!

Everyone fist-bumped and continued to devote themselves to the upcoming confrontation.

They all thought NIKO's Black Room explosion this wave was just a highlight appearance.

But VP's next economic round again chose to speed up B Site.

Xu Beifang threw a fire to block the opponents' speed-up on B Slope, and then saw the top right corner scrolling.

【NIKO used AK47 to headshot kill Fame】

【NIKO used AK47 to headshot kill electronic through smoke】

【NIKO used AK47 to kill Jame】

【NIKO used AK47 to headshot kill FL1T】

Xu Beifang instantly opened his mouth wide: "Holy crab, what's your situation today? Four kills in a row?"

NIKO didn't have time to dislike Xu Beifang at this moment, and said with a grin: "I found my feel in these two waves, my state is hot."

"If it's really as you say, then Map 1 today will be simple." Xu Beifang said with a smile.

Although VP enhanced their firepower, they were ultimately painting within a system and were very troubled by such an extremely strong firepower point.

Xu Beifang's feel was actually okay, but NIKO's feeling was clearly entering a flow state, so the game was much simpler.

As he expected, the rest of the game was simpler than he imagined.

In the remaining rounds of the first half, VP only secured one point from them.

In the other rounds, their offense couldn't break through the defensive lines of Xu Beifang and NIKO.

Occasionally, they succeeded in pushing from both sides with grenades, but repeatedly made mistakes in the clutch.

Jame also considered doing something with the economy, but what disgusted him was that Nice calculated his economy very clearly.

The economic playstyle that always worked before couldn't work today.

The only point they got was relying on electronic's crazy breakthrough and Jame's thrilling clutch.

Well, the description wasn't wrong; it was thrilling.

In that clutch, they were almost beaten by JKS and Nice in a 2v4 situation.

Finally, the first half ended, and the score was fixed at an exaggerated 10:2.

During the halftime break, the VP members took a look at the scoreboard.

Then they saw NIKO's exaggerated data of 26 kills and 6 deaths.

They were instantly speechless.

They had restricted Nice tactically, making Nice's performance seem less outrageous, but NIKO, how did you stand up again?

26 kills in these 12 rounds!

How are we supposed to play this!
