Chapter 507: 61 NIKO
"VP's B Site explosive bomb encountered great resistance. They can't figure out why there are so many people on B Site this round!"
"B Site has become a meat grinder, constantly grinding the players who enter it to death. VP members still want to operate, but Beifang has already arrived from the back!"
Wanjiqi shouted excitedly in the live stream: "Then they have no chance! Let us congratulate COL!! Successfully advanced to the semifinal stage of the EPL S19 season!"
There were no cheers, no shouting, and not even any audience.
But the members of COL had already shouted out!
"Woohoo~~" Danking was the first to start barking. "My kills were also straight today on Vertigo, I can't wait to fight with the haters."
NIKO's face was also full of smiles. He punched Danking on the shoulder lightly and then said disdainfully: "Look at your ambition, and you call this data straight? Don't you look at Beifang's performance?"
Map 2 played a total of 22 rounds, and Danking's record was 12 kills and 12 deaths.
This data can only be said to be too mediocre, killing fewer than everyone in COL, but also dying fewer than everyone in COL.
Xu Beifang pulled Danking's head over. "Why don't you swap with Jame and grab the nickname of CIS No. 1 Escaping Sniper?"
As a sniper in the CIS region, one of Jame's playing characteristics is saving guns.
This makes many players who can't stand his playstyle complain that Jame is the CIS No. 1 Escaping Sniper.
But coincidentally, besides S1mple, several snipers in the CIS are relatively steady in their playstyle, which caused more ridicule from netizens.
Hearing this, NIKO immediately said: "Grab what? He is already the Asian No. 1 Escaping Sniper!"
Danking actually didn't play much sniper today, more as a utility player.
But after winning, there is no need for any reason to roast your own teammates.
For Xu Beifang, he also liked to see this atmosphere.
When it really came to the match, everyone seriously won the game.
After the match, they could tease each other like five friends, and such a team atmosphere could go far.
"Hope Danking can improve later." Xu Beifang also played up, pretending to be serious.
His posture instantly made Danking a bit panicked.
Then Danking heard Xu Beifang's second half of the sentence: "Grow from the Asian No. 1 Escaping Sniper to the World No. 1 Escaping Sniper."
"Okay, okay, playing like this, right." Danking was speechless. "Next match I'll take the sniper and walk at the very front of the team, let you guys see what is called a top-level offensive sniper!"
"But Beifang is still critical, catching such a good timing, otherwise VP would still be chasing points fiercely." JKS said.
VP was a bit too fierce after entering the match point, Electronic and the Archangel kept erupting, plus the weapon advantage.
They kept taking points, and the rhythm was really a bit terrifying.
Fortunately, Xu Beifang still dared to push forward boldly, which prevented the match from entering a particularly bad situation.
Xu Beifang smiled: "Some things always need me to do."
He is the star player in the team, and in such a scorching time, it is when he is needed.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the COL group, Wanjiqi teased in the live stream: "It's over, it's really over, this last timing is too fatal!"
"It's still that the pit dug in the first half was too big!"
The first half ended, and the score was fixed at 9:3, with a difference of 6 rounds between the two sides.
If VP could get more points in the first half, maybe relying on this comeback at the match point in the second half, they would really turn the game around.
"But they have no way, because Beifang played too well in the first half!"
Wanjiqi took a look at the HLTV data.
ID: Nice
Kills/Assists/Deaths: 37/5/14
Non-white-give rate: 90.9%
Average damage per round: 147.7
Rating: 2.25
Once this data came out, the audience in the live stream was instantly a bit hard to hold back.
【We still can't figure out the reason for Beifang's retirement during the online period】
【How can VP play this, Map 1 mud truck rushing, Map 2 Beifang heavy truck】
【This is just 80% of Beifang's strength in my memory, missing the scene where Beifang and Shushu killed randomly】
【Beifang: Commanding? Commanding is killing everyone on the opponent's side!】
【Why does it feel like this 'Old Kayak' is about to take off】
Looking at this post-match data, Wanjiqi couldn't help but gasp: "Did you notice, COL only has Beifang with 30 kills, the others are all ten-something kills, gold medal substitute carrying 1-to-4."
"The back-body is also too awesome. It would be perfect if Device could be called over at that time." Wanjiqi still couldn't forget his Device.
He took another look at the halftime data:
"This guy cut 24 kills in the first half! Average two kills per round."
He added: "And you have to know, this is still against VP, averaging two kills per round, which basically means he kills two every round, and the other four add up to kill one or two."
COL was the offensive side in the first half, so the situation was slightly special.
Many netizens also realized that VP's saving guns were very frequent.
This means that the number of kills born in the first half confrontation will not be particularly large.
But even so, Nice still got 24 kills, which can be said to be explosive carrying.
For this BO3 of COL vs VP today, netizens' evaluation of COL is two words: "Convinced!"
"The second half of Map 2 actually VP played quite well, really playing the combat effectiveness of their lineup, but they woke up too late!" Wanjiqi commented.
He actually quite likes VP, after all, Jame's playstyle is very formulaic, and it has the same effect as his commentary.
"If they really let them play to Map 3 in this state, it's really hard to say."
VP played beautifully in the second half of Vertigo, even making Wanjiqi feel unfinished.
"Now they formulaically entered the top eight, formulaically eliminated, it is indeed a pity, but COL played more outstandingly, in better state, and really deserves to win."
While speaking, he saw the camera come to VP's players.
The original VP members' emotions were actually quite stable after losing the match.
Only Electronic wrote his unwillingness completely on his face.
He played very uncomfortably today, but he was indeed powerless.
This EPL S19 season was his debut in VP. He actually thought that after joining VP, the whole thing would change qualitatively, and then enter the major tournament finals again.
But he still couldn't help VP escape the curse, and still stopped at the top eight.
Map 2 originally had a chance to take it, but there was a sudden death.
He couldn't help but sigh, looking at Xu Beifang walking toward him, and inexplicably had a premonition in his heart.
COL will definitely be able to rush to the finals, and there is a high probability of winning the championship.
Logically speaking, COL has been practicing maps, and now it is just one of the favorites to win the championship.
But Electronic fought personally and knew how much pressure the confrontation was.
In the first half, he defended A Site. After getting to the long-gun round, B Site collapsed at the speed of light several times, and he didn't even have a chance to retake.
At that time, he wanted to scold his mother.
He couldn't help but want to say something like "is a B Site so hard to defend".
And as COL shifted the offensive focus to A Site, he didn't want to spray his teammates anymore and understood directly.
The gunplay couldn't beat them at all, and they were constantly restricted by utility in the firing environment, and the trade-kill efficiency was also surprisingly fast.
After a few rounds, the economy and hand feel were gone.
How can they play this?
"I want to apply to EPL to ban you, it's too perverted."
Xu Beifang also smiled: "Meeting you guys, I must go all out. Losing is not fun."
Although it can be heard as a compliment, Electronic is also quite happy.
During the group stage interview, he once made a bold statement "this time maybe we can enter the finals", but ended up stopping at the top eight again.
He could already foresee the attacks on the Internet.
Now that the match has been lost, his mood is not very good, and he urgently needs to video chat with his daughter to seek comfort, so he didn't say anything and ended it.
Fame behind Electronic is also quite unwilling.
As VP's second firepower point, Fame still has the idea that I can become a world-class player.
But today Map 1 was educated by NIKO, Map 2 was educated by Nice.
He didn't even know who he was.
He didn't talk to the COL members, just simply completed the fist bump.
But he will remember this failure today, he will put in effort after the match, and next time he will respond with results in a dignified manner.
After the post-match handshake, Xu Beifang returned to his player bench, packed up his peripherals, and prepared to leave.
"Seriously, our playstyle today can be studied in depth..." Xu Beifang was still recalling the content of the match.
Coach Xiaoxi asked: "Which playstyle do you mean?"
"Just when we have full guns and full utility to deal with the opponent's insufficient utility, using a general trend to suppress people, we can completely release our individual ability."
Xu Beifang explained the reason: "Our team doesn't need too complex tactical logic, the simpler the train of thought, the more effective it is for us."
Use utility to exchange resources, weaken the strength of both sides, so that it can be convenient for their more outstanding individual ability to play.
The more Xu Beifang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
However, just at this time, the EPL competition group brought the host over.
Obviously, they intended to have a post-match interview next.
Coach Xiaoxi also knew the tactical inspiration that Xu Beifang often radiated, so he immediately recorded it in the tactical notebook, and then said: "Accept the interview first, we will test your ideas after we go back."
Today's host is former Renegades player SPUNJ.
"At this moment, COL has just won a big victory. Their recent state is quite good. From the group stage to now, they haven't lost a match, which is quite amazing, so let's grab someone to chat."
He looked at Xu Beifang in the middle and said to the camera: "I am very familiar with this guy, he is a legend of Huaxia CS."
"Hey Nice." SPUNJ handed the microphone to Xu Beifang. "After returning, has your life changed?"
Xu Beifang is also quite familiar with this guy SPUNJ, so joking is also very natural.
"Except for more matches, it seems nothing has changed. I came back, and then did some things I once did..."
SPUNJ said black-belliedly: "Can I understand it as defeating the old opponents again, nothing changed?"
He was originally just teasing, but didn't expect Xu Beifang to nod with a smile after thinking: "You can understand it this way. After all, I returned to reach the peak again. In the process, I must definitely defeat those competitive teams."
SPUNJ raised his eyebrows, this sounded like Xu Beifang's style.
He likes it very much.
Professional players must have this kind of confidence.
Unlike JKS, who can't squeeze out a fart for a long time... SPUNJ silently roasted his old teammate in his heart.
"Feel like you guys walked to the semifinals very easily, your state is very outstanding." SPUNJ said.
Xu Beifang shook his head: "Actually, we are still mainly practicing in this match. All of us are learning very seriously. We will try our best to do it to the end, try to master more things, and make our team more mature."
"But fortunately, I saw quite a few points that our team can improve in several matches."
Xu Beifang became serious, the interview was not so fun.
So SPUNJ handed the microphone to NIKO beside him without hesitation:
"NIKO, I see you laughing beside, did Nice say anything to you as a captain?"
A thought appeared in NIKO's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh himself.
After considering it, he still took the initiative to say: "Nice told me as a captain that the Desert Eagle back-body missing shot is not my problem, it's that the skin's trajectory is left-biased, saying he took a loss and acquired it for 5 yuan."
Hearing this, SPUNJ suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he had received professional training, and finally suppressed it.
But the netizens in the EPL live stream couldn't hold it anymore.
【NIKO also started playing his own memes】
【What CS Cold Front】
【Remembered the scene of Beifang's Desert Eagle back-body crazy missing shots yesterday, haha】
【Beifang blaming the Desert Eagle for his own missing shots, laughing to death】
【Can NIKO finally say his regrets with a smile?】
【Beifang cheated the fool, 5 yuan acquisition, at least 10 yuan okay】
【...】
The audience didn't expect NIKO to expose his own scars at this time. After all, that Stockholm match was very regrettable for him.
But seeing him able to say this with a smile, many NIKO fans also laughed.
Some things must be stepped over by yourself.
They also found that since NIKO joined COL, he hasn't been under as much pressure as before.
The whole person's state looks more relaxed, giving them the feeling of NIKO's state when he just joined FaZe.
"Feel like you are getting more and more relaxed now." SPUNJ said to NIKO.
NIKO shrugged and pointed to Xu Beifang beside him. "The pressure is all carried by this guy, I just need to follow behind and shout Nice."
"I am naturally relaxed."
SPUNJ was also curious at this time: "Won't Nice have any pressure? Looks like he is chasing glory, but he won't be affected by the outside world. This personality is a bit too contradictory."
NIKO looked at SPUNJ in surprise and then said: "Feel pressure? What kind of joke are you making?"
"You need to know, the guy standing in front of you is the TOP1 for two consecutive years, a Major champion, and the winner of the second Intel Grand Slam. He doesn't care much about glory anymore, he is just purely enjoying the arena."
"To make him feel pressure, only a stronger opponent can do it!"
