Chapter 508: 62 What is it like to be opposite Nice?

~13 min read 2,485 words

After the interview, the COL group began to drive back to the hotel.

The two matches ended quite quickly, and Xu Beifang's energy was quite sufficient.

He opened his phone and saw his wife sent him a message praising him for playing quite well today.

Although they are already an old married couple, Xu Beifang is still quite happy about his partner's praise.

He was lovey-dovey with his wife on WeChat for a while, and then began to browse the content on his phone.

Opening Bilibili, he saw that the followed up-host CS Lulu had posted a new video.

"Double the Mud Truck"

The cover is the makeup photo of Xu Beifang and NIKO.

Lulu even specially added red-eye effects to him and NIKO.

But just as he clicked in, he saw netizens in the comments playing memes.

【No one really thinks that's an effect, right】

【These two guys have killed until their eyes are red】

【Sure enough, this is the normal picture, last time at IEM Chengdu, the Vertigo match left me speechless】

【Beifang: You guys are strong on Vertigo, I'm going to Stage 2】

【Today's match also laughed me to death, Beifang ate four grenades in a row on Ancient and didn't die, Electronic ate two and couldn't do it】

【No way, Electronic is a bit fat, Beifang exercises every day and has good physical fitness】

He slowly finished watching NIKO's kills on Map 1 and his own kills on Map 2.

He found that NIKO's playstyle was still a bit different from his.

From a personal perspective, NIKO's pre-aiming actions are actually very few, while Xu Beifang seems to have more preparatory actions.

This is a quite interesting phenomenon.

Because when they reach this stage, some techniques have reached the peak and are used quite casually, so there are fewer segments where they are used seriously.

So the actions that Xu Beifang and NIKO are good at look the opposite in the picture.

After scanning roughly, he didn't care.

But the road was a bit blocked today, and they hadn't reached the hotel yet. He suddenly wanted to see how other teams were doing, so he opened Douyu and found Wanjiqi's live stream:

"2v4 clutch, Snake took the initiative to pull the crosshair line for Device to get information!"

"But this Snake is really soft!" Wanjiqi complained without hesitation. "He fired first and couldn't beat the side of the Director."

"In that case, only Device is left facing this 1v3. Should he save the gun? Or take the initiative to try?"

"The Director took the initiative to find him, Device missed the first shot, but the Director didn't treat Device as a person at all, still pulling big, but in the second timing, Device killed the Director with one shot!"

Wanjiqi's voice suddenly increased:

"Liquid's trade-kill is a bit late, Device killed the Mad Brother with another shot, so now it's a 1v1 clutch between the two commanders. Device cut to the pistol, swayed to the point, and then used USP to headshot!!"

Xu Beifang clearly heard the joy in Wanjiqi's voice.

He couldn't help but share with Danking beside him: "Sure enough, this Wanjiqi's commentary state for Astralis matches is different."

Danking glanced at Xu Beifang's phone screen and was also amused.

The comments at this moment were extremely unified.

【Suddenly loud】

【Started filial piety, family members】

【Filial piety shows your strength, Wanjiqi】

【Wanjiqi is about to climax】

【Device's high-light performance is like triggering Wanjiqi's jumping-bullet switch】

【This wave, this wave is called father and son soldiers on the battlefield】

Danking also often commented on matches before, but he didn't have any teams he hated or liked very much, so his overall performance was considered relatively neutral.

Well, whichever side has more traffic, he leans toward.

Mainly realistic.

However, Wanjiqi here loves Astralis deeply, a die-hard Astralis fan, the kind whose badge is completely unable to be hidden.

Every time he comments on an Astralis match, this guy's state is completely different from usual, which makes people hard to hold back.

Xu Beifang suddenly had a very interesting idea: "Next time if Astralis plays FaZe, if Wanjiqi and Leon Kai comment together..."

Wanjiqi is a die-hard Astralis fan, Leon Kai is a die-hard FaZe fan.

The two comment on the same stage, that is simply a Shura field.

"I feel like they have to fight." Danking laughed.

He added: "But this Liquid is really blood-suppressed, can't even beat Astralis in this state?"

Astralis's current state and COL are almost two extremes.

Similarly, they have extremely outstanding lineup strength on paper. COL has exerted the level they should have, but Astralis has shown 11<2 strength, which naturally makes people talk.

But even so, the reorganized Liquid still couldn't beat Astralis, and Liquid will definitely be criticized a few times next.

Liquid didn't break the curse after all, and finally could only go to the airport to start the next match.

Danking on the side was looking at the post-match matchup.

Their confrontation on the first day of the upper half had all ended.

The confrontation between MOUZ and G2 was very scorching.

The two teams successfully brought the match into Map 3, but G2 was still a bit lacking in the end.

Now that G2 has this lineup, once m0nesy's state is not so outstanding, or A Du can't withstand the pressure, others have no way to stand up at all.

And this commander, Hu Xi, has also gone into a dead end.

He is too focused on the research and development of tactics, but ignores individual ability.

But there is no one available, which is a bit helpless.

Finally, MOUZ easily took it with a score of 2-1. Except for Map 1 Inferno where MOUZ was not very good, the remaining two maps were big-score wins.

"That is to say, we are going to play MOUZ tomorrow." Danking took a breath. "Then tomorrow we'll see if this group of young people talks about martial arts."

Actually, the age of the COL members is actually okay, not too old.

But compared to this group of young people in MOUZ, it is completely not enough to look at.

"MOUZ is indeed powerful, such a young team has reached the forefront of the world." Danking said with some envy.

At the age of the MOUZ members, he had just entered Tyloo and started sitting in prison.

"It is indeed impressive," NIKO thought for a moment, "but this team has been grinding together for a long time."

"The five of them ground together for a long time before entering everyone's field of vision, then Coldzera was bought by the 'Primary Team,' and they added a Bao Lan. Bao Lan unexpectedly played well at mouz; siuhy knows how to use him very well."

Although MOUZ being blood-suppressed by FaZe always makes insiders tease.

But as an opponent about to meet, NIKO also admits the strength of this MOUZ team.

MOUZ is stable and powerful, considered one of the most outstanding tactical teams today.

Their match tomorrow will definitely not be so simple.

"Bao Lan is also the same period as you, right?" Danking had a vague impression.

"Probably." Xu Beifang recalled. "He debuted relatively slowly. He should have truly entered the public field of vision in 2018. He was one of the most promising second-tier new stars in 2017. The most promising new stars at that time were Zywoo and Director."

"Then you guys know, Director Zywoo killed out, and I also entered the first line in 2018, but Bao Lan was a bit buried."

Bao Lan is one of the most famous players in the entire professional arena.

He is also a famous talent monster, known for his young age and outstanding performance.

It's just that there were too many talent monsters in the arena in the first few years of his debut, making him not so conspicuous.

Later, the one who truly made everyone remember this player had to be the 600,000 Euro transfer to NiP.

But after joining NiP, his state was relatively low, and his performance was not stable.

The team also couldn't achieve any bright results, and the time he appeared on the first-line arena was slowly decreasing.

But this year, with Han Wang "promoted to the main team", MOUZ rented him from NiP to use for a period of time, but didn't expect Bao Lan to have a meaning of late bloomer, playing better and better in MOUZ.

Talking about tomorrow's opponent, everyone felt some pressure.

But Xu Beifang glanced at the netizens' comments in the MOUZ post-match comment area, and was suddenly a bit hard to hold back.

【Mouse, you smash COL, you must enter the finals, I'll kowtow to you twice, I beg you!】

The team logo displayed was clearly FaZe.

Xu Beifang had reason to suspect that this was Leon Kai's alt account.

"Congratulations to MOUZ for successfully defeating G2 and advancing to the next round of the match. Let us sit on the sofa and wait for the MOUZ members to come over for an interview." The host said to the camera.

After a while, the netizens watching the live stream saw the MOUZ members walking toward the sofa.

Just as Jimpphat picked up the microphone, he heard the host say: "Jimi, you entered the semifinal confrontation, it looks easy. For you, the opportunity to defend your EPL league championship is right in front of you."

MOUZ had previously won several EPL league championships. For the MOUZ members, the EPL league is too intimate.

"It sounds really good, we also want to work hard for that." Looking at Bao Lan and Siuhy coming over, Jimi said with some worry.

The host leaned on the sofa and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

As the defender of the EPL league championship, the first few matches were played very smoothly, but his answer now is a bit strange.

"Why would you think so?"

Jimi answered very honestly: "Because the opponent is COL..."

He thought for a while and added: "Or because the opponent has Nice, so my pressure will be a bit big."

The host laughed. There are too many people in this CS arena who have "Nice-phobia", but he thought again, "You seem to have never played against Nice, why would you have this emotion?"

"I mean, those who usually fear this ID are all beaten into submission by his hard strength."

Jimi laughed: "Actually, it's not fear, I'm more looking forward to it."

"Why care so much about this ID, mainly because my brother often tells me about Nice, so I still look forward to Nice, I want to see how powerful he is."

Jimi recalled the past time in his mind.

Once in his eyes, his brother Sergej was the most powerful genius player in Finland, and he would definitely become the most outstanding player in the entire CS in the future.

But in those two years when Sergej was fresh and angry, several confrontations with Astralis, Xu Beifang almost beat Sergej into autism.

So when Sergej was at home, he often complained to him about some things about Xu Beifang, such as some feelings in the match, some timings and ideas that made Sergej inexplicable.

This led to, before officially entering the professional circle, he was curious about how much pressure the confrontation with Nice was, and could leave such a deep impression on his brother.

After all, his brother was really strong!

The host probably understood that Jimi was "family education" and was a bit scared by his own brother.

But young people still want to fight with stronger people, which is quite good.

He looked at Bao Lan beside him and asked: "Then Bao Lan, how do you view Nice?"

Bao Lan scratched his hair. "Review Nice? Actually, they are all painful memories."

The first few years of his debut happened to meet a group of monsters, so these years of career were often quite bumpy.

The host asked him to review Nice, so he was quite qualified to speak.

"This guy Nice has a very strong ability to find opportunities in the early stage of the match. He always appears in a position you never expect and kills you."

"If it's just like this, then he is just an ordinary first-line player, but in the match, his aiming and decision-making are at the top level, and he is not relying on instinct, but on prediction, his performance is very stable."

"And when he is in good state, for example, you see his back, you didn't headshot him with the first shot, he can turn his head and slap you to death."

"In the process of the match, our voice chat can always appear injections like 'He is half-health!', 'He killed me like this?', 'Nice is 1v4?'. This kind of talk."

"If it were just that, he would be an ordinary Tier-1 player. But during the match, his aiming and decision-making are at the top level, and he doesn't rely on instinct, but on prediction. His performance is very stable."

Talking about past experiences, Bao Lan sat on the sofa and talked eloquently.

After all, this is a past personal experience, he just said some feelings from the past.

But the two hosts laughed a bit hard to hold back.

This was the first time they knew what it was like to be opposite Nice.

Before, when they watched matches or interviews, most of them were looking from Xu Beifang's perspective.

Just marveling at how outstanding Xu Beifang is, this clutch let him stand out again.

They more felt that Xu Beifang was outstanding.

But now hearing Bao Lan's interview, bringing it into the role of Nice's opponent.

They thought of the scene where they met a master in the ladder sometimes, and their team couldn't exert any strength, and instantly understood.

A sense of despair really arose spontaneously.

The opponent kills wildly like this every round, how can this match be won?

"Actually, it's okay." Just as they were marveling at Nice's outrageous ability, Siuhy opened his mouth. "After Nice transformed into a commander, his train of thought is very interesting, I have been paying attention."

"So for tomorrow's match, although it will be very simple, we have also made full preparations."

The two hosts also laughed when they heard this.

They didn't know if this was Siuhy saying it to boost morale or if he was really prepared.

But at this moment, they all said with a smile: "Then look forward to your performance tomorrow."

Youth Storm vs Old Kayak.

But the young people are the defending champions, while the older COL is the challenger.

The host couldn't help but smile. Tomorrow's match is really interesting.

... ===== CHAPTER 509 =====

But the young people are the defending champions, while the older COL are the challengers.

The host couldn't help but chuckle; tomorrow's match will be really interesting.
