Chapter 514: 68 Advance to the Finals!

"Is it useless for Brollan to perform like this?" Ma Xixi looked at the end of the pistol round in the second half and said with some surprise in the live broadcast room.

"No way," Mo Team replied. "Brollan's pistol is indeed accurate, but CoL's state is better than they imagined, and their performance on this map is also much better than them."

"You see, Beifang has already gotten 17 kills so far, and NiKo also has 13. In the first half, they played too well in Mid and the Black Room. Mouz couldn't fight in these main areas, so it's naturally very difficult to get points."

"Now it depends on whether Mouz can withstand the pressure later. Maybe after switching to the defensive side, they can slowly find the rhythm."

Can only say Beifang and NiKo are too powerful.

On the map Ancient, the core contention points are Mid and the Black Room.

These two positions are related to the dynamics of the two areas.

But Mouz couldn't win in the early and mid-stage contention, because the game theory of Mid and the Black Room couldn't be fought.

Even siuhy was forced to use a relatively stupid method like 'one-wave flow' to gamble.

So at this moment, Mouz members' moods were very helpless.

But if Xu Beifang knew their thoughts, he would only disdain them.

You know, when they were in '18 and '19, they also encountered similar problems.

At that time, they played against the peak Astralis, and they clearly felt that their marksmanship and personal ability were better than that group of Danes.

But that group of Danes could use utility to restrict you from unleashing your full personal strength.

They also slowly learned how to deal with the tactical team's playstyle during the confrontation with the Danes.

These were all experiences gained at a cost in the past.

And on this map that leans towards fighting, Mouz's tactics couldn't play much of a role, and just wanting to fight marksmanship naturally couldn't be fought.

The newcomers have more drive, but the experience of their group of old guys is not bad either.

After the pistol round ended, the score reached 10:3.

"The opponent should force-buy to operate this point, everyone don't be anxious, let's take points steadily," Xu Beifang reminded. "Control the Black Room first, and then we'll take points slowly and steadily."

After entering Ancient, they played a bit too smoothly.

But this also has to do with CS2, changing from 15 rounds to 13 rounds, the overall rhythm has been accelerated.

This leads to some slow-paced teams not being able to get points in the late stage of the half.

Maybe they were stunned in the early stage, and just found the rhythm to prepare to chase points, and this half was already over.

But the overall rhythm acceleration is also unfavorable for them.

Because if Mouz plays well in the second half, a wave of rhythm can chase big points.

So it's better to be cautious.

As long as they steadily take the last three points, they can successfully advance to the finals.

By then, they will be able to meet up with Shushu and the others... Xu Beifang thought of that scene and felt it was getting interesting.

Pressing the thought in his heart, he continued to focus his attention on the match.

Thanks to Xu Beifang's instructions, CoL's attack in this point was not anxious.

However, Danking, who had the best spawn at the start, strongly controlled the Black Room, using a flashbang to forcibly eat two people in the Black Room, making a good start for them.

Although NiKo, who was jumping to scout on B Slope later, was headshot by torzsi with an outrageous flick-shot, CoL was still at an advantage overall.

After gaining control of the Black Room, they played steadily and controlled the map, waiting for Mouz's subsequent operations.

It wasn't until 1 minute that they gave the smoke grenade for the first and second paths, and entered B site slowly and leisurely.

Mouz had no way at all in the face of CoL's sudden change in rhythm.

They tried to struggle later, but unfortunately it didn't affect the outcome.

As the C4 exploded at B site, it meant that CoL's number had jumped to 11.

Mouz made a very painful decision.

Release the match point.

This is a very rational decision, but also a helpless choice.

CoL had already reached 11 points, and in two more rounds, CoL could successfully end this battle.

But the attempt to force-buy in the second half failed, and their economy exploded.

They could also force-buy again, but bad weapons meant low combat power after force-buying.

And this force-buy meant they could only force-buy to the end.

So they could only release one point, so that when they reached the match point, they would have long guns to operate.

But releasing the match point also meant Mouz had no room for error.

They had no way out, and losing one more round meant the game was over.

If they wanted to turn the tide, the first goal was to win 9 rounds in a row.

And this was just to enter overtime, just pulling both sides back to the same starting line.

So at this moment, Mouz members' faces were all very serious.

As the defending champion of EPL, they didn't want to fall here.

But the situation was already like this, and they had to face this difficult confrontation.

……

Mouz didn't give up all their economy rounds, but tried to break through in Mid, wanting to see if they could trade kills with crowd firepower.

It's just a pity that they couldn't trade even one in this round.

The score had reached 12:3.

Match point reached!

As the unique sound of the match point appeared, CoL members' mindsets changed slightly.

Even if they had rich match experience, even if they were leading by so much.

But every time before winning, they would still be surging with emotion.

"Why is there a sudden bad feeling?" Danking asked, touching his chin.

Hearing this, Xu Beifang said quite speechlessly: "You'd better shut your mouth."

Danking giggled: "It's mainly because it's too smooth, it feels a bit unreal, haha."

EliGE and the other didn't say anything either, laughing along.

"This is the feeling of slowly becoming a strong team," Xu Beifang looked at his teammates. "You have to adapt to this feeling."

According to Xu Beifang's estimation, now in the BO3 confrontation, there were only three teams that could really make them feel pressure.

FaZe, Vitality, Spirit.

Other teams, unless they were in excellent form at the time, or relied on special match point targeting to defeat them.

Xu Beifang actually understood the reason why they had this thought.

On the two maps Nuke and Ancient, the strength Mouz showed was completely different.

The second map was played so difficultly, but after entering the third map, Mouz was completely crushed by them.

After the failure on the second map, everyone was full of spirit, preparing for a big battle on the third map.

But Mouz suddenly softened.

Plus the first half was mainly Xu Beifang and NiKo exerting force, and the other three didn't have any particularly difficult feelings.

Just follow some instructions from Xu Beifang and NiKo to operate, and then won very smoothly.

The sense of reality was definitely not strong.

They also mouthed a few words to each other, and quickly put their attention back into the match.

Just when they wanted to end the match in one go, Mouz finally started to exert force at the match point.

Not long after the start, siuhy led Jimi to push out from A Hall.

This move was unexpected by CoL. jks and EliGE were doing defaults at the T-spawn, but Jimi was really accurate, forcibly holding the disadvantageous gun position and taking out both jks and EliGE.

A Long control was taken away by CT. Xu Beifang's train of thought was clear, and he decisively chose to take the remaining two people to the VIP.

Yes, he wasn't walking through the Donut.

Xu Beifang considered that A Hall had gathered and pushed out, so the opponent's B site must be gathered.

So they must cut off the return route first, and then go to A site to plant the bomb to fight this clutch.

His train of thought had no big problems, but he didn't expect that the one watching the VIP was torzsi with a Sniper Rifle.

torzsi took out this no-armor Sniper Rifle, which was a bit beyond their expectations. Xu Beifang and NiKo went to pull, but both were killed by torzsi.

Although Danking successfully made up the shot, he had no way to operate this clutch.

Finally, in this first long gun round of the second half, Mouz successfully bit back a point.

The score reached 12:4.

Although one point was snatched back by Mouz, Xu Beifang saw some clues.

"Already a bit regardless?"

Mouz played very boldly in this point, biting back a point from them.

But a bit too bold.

Now siuhy is completely gambling.

Whether it's the early pressure in A Hall or torzsi's Sniper Rifle, it's too extreme.

But the problem Mouz is facing now is that they need to be rational.

After all, they need to chase too many points, using this kind of playstyle with no way out to operate, there is definitely no follow-up.

After seeing this point clearly, Xu Beifang also calmed down.

Thanks to the stable point-taking in the early stage, after losing the first long gun round, they still had a good economy.

NiKo saw that Xu Beifang had a train of thought, so he just listened on the side.

Xu Beifang said: "For this point, Danking, can you play the Black Room alone?"

"At the start, we give the VIP smoke and Jump Platform smoke, I need you to make a move to strongly control the Black Room."

"Others follow me to do defaults in A Hall. Once he gives enough information there, we will directly explode the bomb and push into A Hall."

This tactic is quite simple and straightforward.

But facing Mouz's state of full pressure now, the simpler the playstyle, sometimes the better it is to use.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang gave the VIP smoke directly at the spawn point.

NiKo in front of him gave the Jump Platform smoke.

Everyone walked directly according to the early planning.

Xu Beifang threw a flashbang into Mid casually, giving the opponent a fake move that they were trying to grab Mid.

Immediately after, the main force became quiet.

"Danking came to grab the Black Room alone, Mouz countered with fire, but Tie Dan wasn't afraid at all, directly extinguishing the fire and rushing forward."

"The Black Room has been sealed with smoke, but Tie Dan is still frantically pouring utility into it. This set of utility directly separated the two people in the Black Room."

"What does Tie Dan say, is this wave still going to fight forcibly?"

"He is holding a Mac-10 and running and shooting at the Black Room, trying to mix some damage."

Tie Dan then stepped on the platform next to him, planning to jump up to get some information on the Black Room through the height difference.

After jumping up, information was indeed obtained, but a bullet also hit his head at the same time.

【Brollan used M4A1 headshot kill Danking】

Tie Dan's hands left the keyboard instantly, and he explained to Xu Beifang painfully: "I jumped up to get some information, he jumped up directly and air-shot me!!"

Seeing this, Xu Beifang said immediately: "Explode the bomb directly!"

Danking died, and there was no follow-up action on B site, the opponent would definitely guess they were at A site.

The early defaults were all ready, now going back to fight again would be too uncomfortable.

Xu Beifang gave the order, and jks at the back of the team gave the CT spawn smoke.

Xu Beifang also started to push forward with NiKo. After arriving at the near point, NiKo threw a flashbang out, while he threw an instant-burst one to the far point.

One near and one far, two flashbangs, this is an operation learned from NAVI.

This sequence of flashbangs can greatly restrict those who dodge the flash at the near point.

"A site is giving a flashbang and is about to speed up, but Jimi in the Donut didn't eat the flashbang, instead, he cooperated with siuhy's flashbang to come out and brush the screen!"

"NiKo, who broke through at the first position, was directly fully flashed and taken out! But CoL's subsequent flashbangs are also very sufficient."

When EliGE pulled out to make up the shot, his vision was fully white, and he could only move to the vicinity of the Big Box while holding the flashbang.

Seeing EliGE move to the Big Box, Xu Beifang wasn't in a hurry.

Just ate a full flash, he also understood that the opponent's make-up defense was in place, now first solve the problem with dueling, then talk about planting the bomb.

"Ji Ge, you move first, otherwise these positions of ours can't come out, there are people at the bomb site." Xu Beifang passed the collected information to EliGE.

After Ji Ge recovered his vision, he immediately peeked out to scout.

With this look, he saw people standing at both the bomb site and the Donut.

The head at the bomb site was hard for him to hit, he almost subconsciously pulled the crosshair to the CT at the Donut side, planning to reduce the opponent's personnel first.

"The CT at the CT spawn stepped out at the second timing, jks was a bit greedy for the gun and was taken out directly, but Ji Ge also pulled over from the Big Box, he directly hit little Jimi!"

"However, Brollan at the bomb site also made up, Ji Ge failed to spray transfer successfully."

EliGE died, and the situation instantly reached 1V4.

Xu Beifang also moved immediately, pulled out and saw Brollan standing on the fire at the bomb site.

He didn't rush to squat, but pulled in the opposite direction, deceived Brollan's pre-aim, and then squatted to fire.

"Da da da!"

【Nice+jks used AK47 kill Brollan】

The moment he hit Brollan, Xu Beifang was still considering how to operate this clutch, when he saw the CT spawn smoke exploded by a grenade.

Then bullets came from the CT spawn direction.

In the clutch, Xu Beifang's attention was already highly concentrated. After seeing this information, he pulled the muzzle over directly.

"Da da da!"

torzsi also didn't expect Xu Beifang's action to be so fast, he had just blown up the smoke and just got information to fire, but was directly counter-killed.

"The 1V4 clutch instantly became 1V2! Could it be that this clutch..." Ma Xixi's voice lowered.

CoL members also didn't expect that Xu Beifang could take out two people in an instant.

The originally somewhat disappointed expressions instantly became expectant.

But they didn't speak, worried about affecting Xu Beifang's clutch operation.

Xu Beifang picked up the bomb, and then quickly changed a magazine against the Big Box.

Took a look at the information on the battlefield.

In these few seconds, he quickly took out two people, the 1V4 clutch had become 1V2, his pressure was greatly reduced.

And his own health was still full, which meant there was still room for operation.

Not sure about the opponent's position, but after he changed the magazine, no one made up the shot.

Which meant, either B site return defense was slow as hell.

Or there was no circling at all.

He entered the bomb site, carefully held the Donut for two seconds, but didn't see any CT figure.

Xu Beifang already had a good train of thought in his mind.

So the moment the CT spawn smoke dissipated, he took the initiative to push towards the CT spawn direction.

He originally planned to touch from the CT spawn all the way to B site.

Didn't expect this push, he really caught a timing.

A CT holding a flashbang appeared before his eyes.

Xu Beifang didn't hesitate, fired and sprayed directly.

"Da da da!"

【Nice used AK47 headshot kill siuhy】

"1V1," Danking reminded, "The last person's position is unknown."

Xu Beifang shook his head: "No, he is nearby."

Danking didn't understand how Xu Beifang reached this conclusion.

But Xu Beifang's train of thought was clear, this person at the CT spawn throwing a flashbang must want to fight in coordination.

Otherwise, in this kind of clutch, both sides wouldn't expose information at will.

The CT spawn wanting to throw a flashbang to help out meant that the position of the remaining person was either at A Long or inside Ancient.

After the train of thought was clear, this clutch was easy to fight.

Xu Beifang returned to the bomb site, put his attention on Ancient and A Long, guarding against the enemy who might pull out at any time.

But he held it for a few seconds and didn't see the opponent come out, so he leaned against the Donut and walked backwards towards B.

As he retreated from the Donut, Xu Beifang already understood in his heart that this point was taken.

He entered B site directly and planted a bomb that could be wallbanged in the Black Room.

Then silently retreated to under B Slope, constantly shaking his body to look at the Jump Platform and bomb site information at a certain timing.

"This is a bomb that can be fought from B Slope and the Black Room, so XertioN needs to make a choice, but XertioN has a defuse smoke here, and also has a certain chance."

"XertioN gave the defuse smoke directly and started to defuse forcibly at the bomb site!"

Hearing the sound of planting the bomb at the bomb site, Xu Beifang wasn't in a hurry, but shook out to take a look, didn't see anyone next to the smoke, and then started wallbanging.

He planted the bomb himself, he remembered the position where the bomb was.

He first wallbanged a magazine to the left of the bomb, then stopped immediately, and while guarding the side of the smoke, also mixed fire to the right of the bomb.

There was still no one to the right of the bomb, he mixed fire to the back of the bomb again.

"Da da da!"

【Nice used AK47 wallbang headshot kill XertioN】

As the last kill information appeared in the upper right corner, the screen of this match was fixed.

The score stayed at 13:4!

This also meant that CoL successfully advanced to the finals with a 2:1 score in this BO3 match!
