Chapter 56: hr: Can't beat them! Really can't beat them!
The small opportunity they had finally managed to seize was once again beaten back by VP.
The HR team now felt a headache whenever they saw the ID "nice".
Perhaps they could occasionally catch this young man from the side or behind, but once they saw him head-on, the price was often death.
Can't beat them! Really can't beat them!!
Having finally won a round, they felt the existence of something called hope...
This damn "nice" had once again used his unreasonable gunplay to forcibly break through their defensive line, which instantly left them numb!
Moreover, with one win and one loss, there wasn't much of an economic bonus left; in the last few rounds of the first half, HR didn't even have the confidence to fight back and couldn't secure a single point.
The half ended with the score locked at 10:5.
Um... don't misunderstand, VP got 10 points on the offensive side; they only got 5 points on this CT-sided map.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to say VP's Train was too strong, or that the newcomer VP found was too monstrous.
Fortunately, their rich competitive experience gave the HR team extreme resilience; during the short halftime break, they encouraged and cheered each other on, and still managed to barely adjust their Mindset.
After the half ended, both sides re-entered the match.
ange1 commanded the team to go directly for a B Site rush.
This speed-up went very smoothly; bondik rushed into B Site and took out neo and michu at lightning speed, establishing a huge advantage for their Pistol Round.
For a moment, it seemed like the sprouts of hope were emerging again!
Facing the subsequent Retake from pasha and byali, they relied on focused fire and Trade Kill to achieve a beautiful 1-for-2 trade.
After two rounds of exchanges, the number of players on both sides reached 4 vs 1.
After holding for a while, HR finally couldn't help it: "Go, go, go! Let's go hunt down that 'nice'!"
With a huge numerical advantage, ange1 had no reason to refuse, but he still added: "You guys go find him, I'll stay on B2 Floor to guard the bomb."
The remaining three didn't answer and rushed forward excitedly to find him, planning to use their numerical advantage to take down "nice".
ange1, on B2 Floor, felt a lingering sense of unease, and then, ten seconds later, he finally knew where this feeling of unease came from.
【nice used USP Pistol to Headshot bondik】
【nice used USP Pistol to Headshot issaa】
【nice used USP Pistol to Headshot fejtz】
The team voice chat was deathly silent, and ange1 could only console himself in his heart that "nice" didn't have time to come and trouble him.
The C4 exploded shortly after, and HR won the Pistol Round.
But looking at his teammates' expressions, ange1 felt as if VP had won the Pistol Round instead.
"Laughing to death, three against one and all got counter-killed, what are they even playing CS: GO for!" michu laughed out of the blue.
Although they lost this point, VP really didn't feel much pressure; in fact, because the three opponents were consecutively headshot by Xu Beifang, their voice chat was filled with laughter.
Glancing at Xu Beifang's kill economy, pasha slowly formed an idea in his mind: "We'll Force Buy this round, 'nice', save a bit of economy, and buy me a Sniper Rifle in the round after next; I'll drop you a Rifle."
Xu Beifang nodded: "No problem."
He had secured three kills and had 900 more in economy than the team average; entering the Long Gun Round, this suddenly pulled-out Sniper Rifle might give the opponents a scare.
In the second round of the Force Buy, VP tried hard to take down three of the opponent's weapons, but ultimately still couldn't win.
In the third round, VP entered a full eco round and was easily flattened by HR again.
The score reached 10:8, and both sides officially entered the first Long Gun Round of the second half.
Xu Beifang purchased an AWP from the shop, looked at his instantly depleted economy with a slight pang of heartache, and then joked: "pasha, you better get at least two kills, otherwise next time I'm going to turn into niko!"
The VP members immediately burst into laughter.
They all understood niko's personality as a world-class Rifleman who inexplicably liked to play with the Sniper Rifle.
"Young Master Ni's" Sniper Rifle play was actually not bad, but compared to the role his Rifle played in the team, it was completely incomparable.
This also made niko's Sniper Rifle play a subject of criticism among the fan base and the professional scene.
"Don't worry, I consider myself decent with the Sniper Rifle, at least I don't like holding angles as much as niko does." pasha smiled; he knew, of course, that Xu Beifang was joking.
However, after hearing him say this, he also perked up.
After all, his teammates had diligently saved up for a Sniper Rifle for him; if he didn't get a single kill, that really wouldn't be justifiable.
"We have a score advantage, we can play more aggressively." pasha began to make a judgment, "The others defend according to our usual training; 'nice', you play according to your own ideas, though I still think you can take the initiative to disrupt their rhythm."
"Sure." Xu Beifang nodded, "I'll look for an opportunity in the mid-round."
Xu Beifang felt more and more that joining VP was a good choice.
Although the overall strength of this team wasn't strong right now, their attitude toward their teammates was very good; at least the attitude he felt from this team was great.
And pasha could give him a high degree of freedom, not restricting him to being just a role player.
After realizing his ability, pasha was even grooming him as the team's core.
What other team could he find this kind of treatment in?
He also secretly decided in his heart—
Whether for his next job or to thank VP for their kindness, he had to strive to achieve good results on the field.
He turned his head to look at neo and pasha.
At the very least, he wouldn't let these two old timers fade away from the stage...
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Xu Beifang had already picked up an M4 and stepped directly behind the Electric Box.
In the two BO3 matches, both pasha and he himself had a very clear understanding of his Positioning in this team.
He was a very sharp spear!
On the offensive side, he needed to try to break the site for the team and tear open the opponent's defensive line.
On the defensive side, he had to expand the defensive area for the team, making the opponent's offensive deployment more difficult.
His ability destined him to fight at the very front of the team, rather than becoming a Clutch Master who relies on his brain.
Both sides continuously exchanged information and utility in the early stage.
Time arrived at the 1-minute mark before anyone noticed; Xu Beifang threw a smoke to cut off Terrorist Hall, then burned a fire on the left, putting on a show of clearing T Spawn.
Immediately after, he climbed onto the Six Tracks train cars, using the height difference to check those corners the fire couldn't reach.
"michu, help me throw a Flashbang into T Spawn!" Xu Beifang asked his teammate for help.
"Thrown!"
A Flashbang exploded in T Spawn, and Xu Beifang turned his head to dodge.
In that instant, he saw a Terrorist on the right covering his eyes!
The moment he came down, he turned his head and sprayed a burst at the right.
"A T Spawn counter-push from VP, nice immediately takes down ange1, but the Terrorist hiding in the smoke rushes out for a Trade Kill, nice turns his head and sprays a burst, hiss... just a little bit off!!" Ma Xixi gasped, making an outstanding contribution to global warming.
Li Wenzhe was also amazed: "This nice's Gunplay is a bit fierce; after finishing the Terrorist on the right, he heard footsteps and immediately turned 90 degrees for Positioning, and that burst even brought fejtz's sniper rifle down to red health, almost taking him out directly."
"If the person coming out for the Trade Kill hadn't been a sniper, nice probably would have won that."
"One at T Spawn is heavily damaged!!" Xu Beifang shouted loudly, "A grenade can finish him off!"
Hearing this, michu, who was on the side of Six Tracks, immediately threw a grenade toward T Spawn.
It was a pity, however, that no kill notification appeared in the top right corner.
But at the same time, neo sprayed a burst through the Red Stairs and killed the Terrorist above, securing a kill.
With only 40 seconds left, HR finally started their attack, directly unfolding a push on A Site.
michu peeked out from the end of Six Tracks, instantly saw a sniper rifle move out, and crouched to spray a burst.
【michu used m4a4nice to kill fejtz】
Seeing his teammate get hit at T Spawn, issaa, who was hiding in the Green Corridor smoke, finally couldn't hold back and rushed out through the smoke.
The sniper rifle Xu Beifang had contributed finally fired its first shot of the round.
——Bang!
The sniper bullet didn't miss, and before issaa even understood the situation, he was already lying on the ground.
On the other side, bondik on the Red Stairs seized the opportunity and took neo out with one shot.
Confirming the location of the last person, byali also directly performed a Retake from CT Mid.
But the moment he gained vision, he was instantly killed by a burst from bondik.
"bondik takes one down, leaving him with a 1v2 Clutch, 30 seconds left, is there a chance to make a play?"
"Throws a Six Tracks smoke, knowing there's a sniper rifle there, cutting the person off first, creeping onto the Five Paths train cars, wanting to catch a Pre-aim opportunity, but pasha!! That shot aimed down and flicked up!! The old men are back in their prime!!" Ma Xixi exclaimed in admiration.
Seeing the camera filming, pasha smiled toward it, then rolled up his sleeves and made a bicep-flexing gesture, seemingly indicating that he still had it.
The failure of the Full Buy Round left HR's economy in a poor state again.
In the following rounds, they tried hard to find opportunities, struggling along.
But in the end, the score on Train was locked at 16:9.
VP won this BO3 match with a 2-0 score!
