Chapter 505: 59 VP
As the firefight between the two sides ended, the score on the big screen reached 0:1.
But the members of VP had absolutely no joy of victory; each one had an expression of having survived a disaster.
"Is this Nice for real!!" Fame's expression was ferocious, saying incredulously, "He almost killed us all in a 3-on-1?"
FL1T took a breath. "Too exaggerated, do you know? He took me down with one shot, and turned his head to headshot Fame with one bullet too."
"He even headshot Jame after giving us two headshots; he was just a hair away from bowing down!!" Fame said with an exaggerated expression.
Electronic smiled bitterly: "This is the strength of a Stage 2 BOSS, it's too outrageous!"
Nice's Stage 2, the angry Zywoo, S1mple's startled state.
These three special stages of superstars can erupt with strength that ordinary players can hardly imagine.
Just now, Electronic saw the peculiar color on Nice's face when he peeked, and he had a premonition that it was bad.
Then, he felt Nice transform into Medusa—whoever he looked at died!
In an instant, two teammates fell, and even Jame was tapped on the head. Fortunately, Jame's shot was accurate too, otherwise, the pistol round would have really been turned around by Nice.
"Is Stage 2 really useful?" Fame also couldn't help but ask curiously.
Jame said calmly: "It has no effect on me anyway. Yekindar used to like playing that way."
Fame couldn't help but try it, and then found that he couldn't even get the basic field of vision.
"At least we took the pistol round, play well next, strive to get a few more points in the early stage." Jame said in the voice chat. Nice's sudden outburst gave him a bad feeling.
In COL's voice chat, a group of people were focused on Xu Beifang's operation after being killed.
NIKO watched Xu Beifang kill several people in a row, and his hand was even raised.
That "NICE!" was already on the tip of his tongue.
But looking at him being countered by Jame in the end, everyone felt a bit regretful.
"What a pity, what a pity."
"NIKO, I told you to drop a P250. If there was a P250, Beifang would have killed them all."
"Just a little bit, it's really a pity."
"Beifang's state is a bit terrifying."
Although they lost the pistol round, their atmosphere was still quite good.
Because Xu Beifang was indeed too ruthless this time; this aiming made them all tremble.
NIKO teased: "Looks like I don't need to carry this Map 2."
Although he didn't need to carry, the early-game orders still had to be issued by him.
NIKO looked at the team's economy. Although they played to the end, they didn't manage to plant the bomb, and the overall economy was very low.
"Pure Eco, don't buy anything." NIKO thought for a while. "Later, we'll sneak to the bottom of the 50th floor to hold for a while, then group up and push up in the second timing, trading as many as we can."
There aren't many requirements for an ECO round; even if you just find a rifle and throw it away, it's fine.
But NIKO still intended to try to consume the opponent's economy, making the opponent's foundation a little less.
Everyone didn't care. Xu Beifang had kill-economy support, so he bought an armorless Desert Eagle and followed behind his teammates.
In the 6657 live stream, Wanjiqi looked at the configuration of both sides and began his commentary for this round:
"COL only equipped one armorless Desert Eagle, but a group of people came straight to the bottom of the 50th floor to face the wall. That means they are catching timing. They won't show their heads at all in the first timing. Wait for your utility to end, and then pull out in the second timing to find you for a fight."
"Now let's see how VP defaults in the second timing."
COL was silent at the bottom of the 50th floor, and everyone quieted down.
Xu Beifang and NIKO even kept nodding up and down to pass the time.
Waiting for the smoke grenade on the A Slope to gradually dissipate, Danking and others were ready to act, but Xu Beifang said: "Don't rush, wait another 10 seconds."
When the smoke grenade just dissipates, the opponent won't be in such a hurry to push forward.
So they need to wait for an opportunity to see if anyone on the opponent's side will make a mistake.
Vertigo also suddenly quieted down.
FL1T cooperated with Electronic to control the A Slope steadily, but there had been no movement from the opponent, which made them feel that COL might be plotting something big.
They didn't know if COL had forced up, so they were prepared for COL to have half-armor pistols.
And the configuration of the guys on B Site wasn't actually very good, plus there was no movement under the A Slope. After consideration.
FL1T held at the sandbag, letting Electronic slowly push forward from the Yellow Cloth. As long as Electronic could hang at the bottom corner of the Yellow Cloth, then the defense of A Site could barely be liberated, and he could rotate to B Site.
"FL1T and Electronic are pushing forward together, but COL hasn't acted yet. Still not pulling out?"
"Pulled out together!!"
Electronic and FL1T, who were pushing, suddenly saw a group of Terrorists pouring out from both sides of the 50th floor. Electronic immediately opened fire and sprayed, but Elige, who pulled out first, directly headshot him with a Glock!
Electronic returned fire quickly, not only killing Elige but also melting the subsequent JKS with bullets.
But NIKO also made up for this shot.
However, Electronic felt it was okay, at least he took down two.
But when he looked at the top right corner from his death perspective.
【electronic used M4A1 to headshot kill Elige】
【electronic used M4A4 to kill JKS】
【NIKO+Elige used Glock to headshot kill electronic】
【Nice used Desert Eagle to headshot kill FL1T】
He looked at FL1T's direction incredulously.
No, you didn't catch a single one!
"All on the A Slope, they are rushing forward directly." Electronic didn't have time to pressure his teammates and quickly passed the information to his teammates.
The God trio also immediately launched a retake, but n0rb3r7 on B Site was steady, because he was worried that COL might rotate.
However, COL didn't do that kind of strange action but pushed forward quickly from the A Slope.
Danking shouted while rushing forward: "Beifang, give me the Desert Eagle, you take the M4, I'll pull the crosshair for you guys with half health."
Xu Beifang didn't decline this time. This wave was an unexpected joy; he took down FL1T with one shot, and NIKO trade-killed Electronic.
In this wave, they achieved a 2-for-2 on the A Slope, and they had a chance to get long guns to enhance their combat effectiveness. This meant that if they operated well, they had a chance to turn the game around!
Xu Beifang picked up the M4 dropped by FL1T and also picked up a smoke grenade.
He quickly aimed and gave a smoke grenade for the A Connection.
Danking entered the bomb site with the bomb and quickly went to plant it under Xu Beifang's cover.
NIKO entered A Small, giving this clutch a fulcrum.
"Beifang gave the connection smoke, but they didn't know that Jame had already retaken to the headshot spot. Hearing the footsteps, he pulled out and instantly melted Danking!"
"But Beifang made up the shot!" Wanjiqi's tone became passionate because he seemed to see the possible result of this round.
A comeback from an armorless ECO!
But can COL really do it?
"The exchange of equal strength is actually a profit for COL. Now the clutch is given to the World No. 1 brothers!"
"But neither of them has armor, and the bomb is dropped at the bomb site. How will they play this round?"
Xu Beifang didn't rush to the bomb site but first looked back with a spin-jump to confirm that no one was coming from behind, and only then did he deal with the front.
"I'm going to the bomb site, NIKO, don't move." Xu Beifang said.
In this clutch, NIKO can see more positions in A Small, so it is more appropriate for him to plant the bomb.
Xu Beifang's attention was highly concentrated, and he pushed all the way to the bomb site.
He quietly picked up the C4.
They could actually rotate now, but the uncertainty brought by rotating was too much.
The retake speed of the CT on the Vertigo map is too fast.
So in the end, they chose to plant the bomb at A Site.
However, just as he was about to plant the bomb, he saw something wrong at the edge of the connection smoke.
His attention had been concentrated, and he immediately realized that it was a CT trying to mix in the smoke. He instantly opened fire and sprayed at that area.
"Da-da-da!"
【Nice used M4A1 to headshot kill n0rb3r7】
After taking down the CT trying to mix in the connection smoke, Xu Beifang just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take his eyes off to plant the bomb, when he suddenly heard someone pull out from the sniper room.
His brain hadn't thought about what to do, but his hand had already controlled the M4 to flick over.
"Peng-peng!"
【Nice used M4A1 to headshot kill Fame】
"Beifang sprayed and took down n0rb3r7 who was touching the smoke, but there was support from the Archangel behind... Holy crap! Beifang's nerve shot!!"
"Fame couldn't even fire a shot and was directly taken away by Beifang pulling over for two headshots!"
Wanjiqi touched his head: "Holy crap, this Beifang, he doesn't even need to plant the bomb!"
The camera also gave the COL player bench at this moment.
Danking, Elige, and JKS were all looking at Xu Beifang smiling, with a feeling of 'how can the parameters be pulled so high'.
And Xu Beifang also temporarily withdrew from the state of being absorbed by the screen and talked and laughed with his teammates beside him.
At this moment, the 6657 live stream also exploded. After a screen of question marks, netizens successively expressed their feelings at this moment.
【This is too handsome!】
【The oppression of the Stage 2 BOSS, Beifang entering Vertigo is like returning home】
【This is too handsome!】
【The last round was a pity, this round turned the tide again, Beifang is too commanding】
【Holy crap, Li's Xu Beifang!】
The exaggerated positioning also made the director replay this last shot.
Wanjiqi was also slowly savoring it in the live stream. He clearly saw Xu Beifang take down n0rb3r7, and then the whole perspective pulled back, clearly having an action of wanting to plant the bomb.
But in the next second, Fame suddenly appeared. His crosshair accurately flicked from bottom to top, as if it was sucked over in one frame, and stayed firmly on Fame's head.
"A thousand-tempered positioning, Xu Beifang just used the thing he is best at." Wanjiqi was amused.
The match was still going on. Being turned around after taking the pistol round, and being turned around by an ECO, the pressure this brought to VP was huge.
VP's economy exploded instantly, forcing them to choose a force-buy to fight back.
COL also knew that VP would definitely force-buy, so they chose to extend the duel distance and group up on A Site to trade kills.
As for those nooks and crannies, they cleared them entirely with utility.
This steady yet meticulous playstyle left VP completely helpless.
After the bomb was planted, they still tried to take the initiative to play the clutch.
And then it evolved into a team challenge against a boss.
VP was just like the Calabash Brothers, feeding themselves one by one!
Losing this round brought the score to 2:1.
However, when they pressed TAB at this moment, they discovered that Nice's stats were already 10/1/1.
This guy was a bit too ridiculous.
For the following pure ECO, Jame chose to group up and rush out of A Long, essentially a replica of COL's tactics from the second round.
However, as they synchronized their push from the Yellow Wall and Sandbags, they were instantly melted by the COL members, whose firepower was maxed out.
Although the five of them focused fire and took down Nice, it had no impact on the round.
However, Jame had played a small detail in the previous two waves; he hadn't bought any utility in the round they were forced to force-buy, so he had saved up a bit more economy.
In this fifth round, the first full-buy round of the match, he was able to scrape together enough for an AWP.
So he bought the AWP directly and said in the voice chat: "They probably don't know I can buy a sniper rifle yet. I'll take the initiative to go to B Site at the start of the round and take a shot, striving to get an opening kill."
He was very good at using small amounts of economy to gain an advantage for the team, and now was the time he needed to gain an advantage for the team.
Because of Nice's excellent form, COL's early-game rhythm was too smooth.
He had to stand up and get points for the team; otherwise, if a team relying on this kind of firepower got into a rhythm, it was possible they would be steamrolled.
After all, the margin for error in CS2 is too low!
"Given my position, I'll go try under the B Slope," Xu Beifang suggested proactively.
He was closer to B Site this round, and plus, they had attacked A too many times before; he felt VP should have made some countermeasures by now.
"Sure, let's go with your idea," NIKO said quite readily. "This round, we'll coordinate with Beifang to rush B Site quickly. I'll do the default on A Site, and Ji Ge will do the one for Mid."
Doing defaults in other areas was mainly to leave some leeway, so that if the B Site attack didn't go well, there were other fulcrums to start over from.
After quickly discussing the follow-up coordination, Xu Beifang took the lead and began to charge toward B Site.
From his first position, he threw a flashbang directly against the wall on the right side of B1. This flashbang would bounce and explode at the entrance of the B Stairs, potentially affecting the vision of anyone holding a direct angle, and he would happen to rush out just as it exploded.
JKS grabbed a smoke grenade, prepared to extinguish any fire.
Danking, meanwhile, threw two flashbangs from behind that wouldn't affect Xu Beifang's breakthrough.
Xu Beifang peeked, but his first pre-aim point wasn't quite right; the opponent was holding an AWP and standing in a rather unconventional position.
However, Jame's shot was also a bit off, flicking directly onto JKS's leg.
"The engagement at B Site resulted in a leg shot that didn't kill; Jame immediately retreated to a second point to hold the angle again. But since COL knows there's a sniper rifle, do they still plan to continue?"
Xu Beifang didn't mean to run just because he saw a sniper rifle; he just had JKS step back to avoid being traded by the opponent's HE grenade.
Then he called Danking over; he planned to perform a double boost on the railing near the B Stairs.
Once this double boost was set up, one could expose just their head to scout information on the bomb site.
Ji Ge, who was at Mid, heard their idea and immediately added: "I can throw a flashbang for you guys at B Site from Mid."
JKS also had an idea: "Then Beifang, don't rush to get up yet. I'll burn the Dead Point pillar first."
If the opponent was holding the B Stairs at this moment, their attention would shift directly to his side.
This is the margin for error of the COL roster; the experience of a bunch of old veterans is too rich, and each one can add all sorts of details.
Their adaptability is extremely strong!
"Alright then, JKS, throw your utility first. Ji Ge, once your flash pops, I'll pop up," Xu Beifang said, already prepared for the double boost; a few extra details weren't a hassle.
"Beifang and Tie Dan have finished the double boost, just waiting for the flash to pop to make their move!"
Jame was holding the B Stairs directly from the bomb site with his AWP, with n0rb3r7 acting as his bodyguard, turning away from the flash.
Jame's attention had originally been on the right, guarding against a potential double boost, but suddenly a fire flew out from the left, drawing his attention away. Immediately after, a flashbang exploded, and he could only flick a shot to the left while blinded.
n0rb3r7, who had been preparing, peeked out directly.
But Xu Beifang, hearing the flash pop, stood up and fired directly.
"Beifang stood up directly after the flash popped. He instantly killed Jame, who was jumping in mid-air. n0rb3r7 rushed out turning away from the flash, but was traded by Beifang as if he were a Bot!!"
"Ji Ge also intercepted one at Mid!"
"The 5v5 situation instantly turned into a 5v2. VP didn't hesitate and started saving their weapons!"
"This is just impossible to play!"
The AWP they had worked so hard to save up had only managed to land a leg shot.
Jame himself was a bit numb.
Originally, the members of VP had all hoped that this AWP could stand up and play a role, helping them turn the situation around.
But it still couldn't change anything; they couldn't withstand COL's offensive head-on at all.
If they had been making bold statements before Vertigo started.
Then now, VP's thought was—"I've been humbled, please let me go!"
VP's coach saw that the situation was not right and quickly signaled for a tactical timeout.
