Chapter 85: VP: Hehe! Our Big Daddy is truly too fierce! (454)
【So accurate!!】
【Holy crap, Nice pushed through the front on his own from the Link!!】
【Actually, Nice was fierce on Map 1 too, but he couldn't carry alone, nothing to be done.】
【Honestly, watching Xu Beifang's POV really feels like he's aim-locking. Many times the pre-aim feels wrong, but the crosshair snaps onto the person the moment he sees them.】
【Teammates are too trash, Nice can't carry them!】
The audience in Wanjiqi's live stream was discussing it heatedly, and he himself said:
"Originally, this wave, with Fallen and Fer losing people, they handled it very well. They didn't have many grenades left, so they chose to find a crossfire position to hold."
"If Fer had taken one shot and then retreated, maybe the Soul Palace Elder in the Small Pit could have traded for him. That position could have at least traded for two."
"But Nice, walking solo from the Link, stuck his foot in, and directly one-tapped the Soul Palace Elder in the Small Pit. Fer on the bomb site was forced to change positions to face the front, but he still couldn't outshoot him."
"Young people are just purely strong, purely accurate."
……
Stewie2k and Tarik sighed inwardly.
Without realizing it, they had felt the pain of Xu Beifang.
Information had just come in from another defensive area, and in the blink of an eye, it had fallen.
By the time they rotated to retake, the opponents had already taken up gun positions and set up a net to wait for them to enter.
The teammates couldn't even trade for advantageous kills; how are they supposed to play?
The two Americans now felt a massive headache.
Fallen, as the team commander, began to actively soothe Stewie2k's emotions: "It's fine, we didn't have much economy last round, it's normal not to be able to hold A. Let's just ECO this round, save up some economy, and it'll be fine once we get to the full buy rounds."
The two rifles they saved didn't play a role in the following round; VP did a solo push on A, and the Link fell again.
The score quickly reached 3:2, and the first full buy round of the first half began.
The sudden deaths on A in the previous rounds made Stewie2k feel somewhat powerless, so he actively proposed: "How about we take Banana this round? That way, Tarik, you hold the near point, and I can directly rotate to cover A."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he wasn't very confident in his teammates' defense on A.
The Soul Palace Elder nodded stiffly; at this stage, this was the best way to handle it.
If 3A defense is struggling head-on, then they have to actively engage at the front, or rotating to a 4A formation is the only solution.
So if they could completely take control of Banana and free up the B defense, then a heavy 4A defense shouldn't have any problems facing the opponent's attack.
Even if the opponent wanted to hit B, they would still have time to rotate back.
However, the previous two rounds were indeed A's problem.
ottkдno¢o
If 3A can't trade for effective kills, how are you supposed to rotate back from B?
The countdown ended, and the three MIBR members rushed toward B, preparing to use their utility to take control of Banana.
No matter what, to implement their tactics, they had to take Banana first.
Without control of Banana, everything else is useless.
……
"My spawn is good this round, I'm going straight to Banana," Xu Beifang said in the voice chat.
In professional teams, everyone usually has specific areas they control.
But as his strength became apparent, Pasha gave him great freedom. Now, Xu Beifang can move according to his own needs within VP.
Unless it's a specific tactical round, Pasha wouldn't refuse his ideas.
And one thing: Xu Beifang can get kills.
That is the most important thing.
The countdown ended, and he switched to his knife and rushed toward B, threw an Incendiary Grenade toward the Barrel, and jumped straight to the Tree Position.
A Flashbang came flying, Xu Beifang was blinded for a second, and then he saw two Incendiary Grenades fly from the Yellow Wall, landing at the T Spawn and the middle section.
"There are many people in Banana!" To prevent the opponent from pushing deeper into Banana, Xu Beifang threw a Smoke Grenade directly onto the middle section fire, extinguishing it to block the opponent's vision of the end of Banana.
He didn't stop behind the middle smoke, but pushed through the smoke to the near point of the Stone Slab, and through a side-jump, he scouted most of the information behind the Banana Stone Slab.
"There's one standing on the Sandbag! Can you help me throw a Stone Slab Flash?" Xu Beifang shouted.
While jumping, he successfully saw the CT on the Sandbag, and the opponent saw him too. At this time, a dry peek would be too irrational.
Pasha was holding the middle with his AWP, but hearing his teammate's shout, he immediately turned and pulled the pin on a flash: "Just say it if you need it!"
Xu Beifang deliberately made a sound of footsteps moving backward, then crouched and moved close to the Stone Slab:
"Throw it!"
"Thrown!"
Stewie2k and Tarik were separated by an Incendiary Grenade; they had discussed one holding and one baiting.
A Flashbang came, and Stewie2k, who was holding the angle head-on, was completely blinded, forced to retreat a step, landing under the Sandbag.
Tarik behind the Stone Slab also hurriedly peeked out to trade.
Xu Beifang's first pre-aim position was the Sandbag because he had just seen someone, but the moment he peeked out, he didn't see the enemy on the Sandbag, and he realized something was wrong.
A backstep, pulling his body back, crouching with his crosshair holding the Yellow Wall.
"Da da da!!"
【Nice used AK-47 to headshot kill Tarik】
The next second, a Flashbang came, and Xu Beifang's vision was completely white.
He immediately hid behind the Stone Slab and loudly reminded: "Pasha, throw a Yellow Wall fire, there's another one on the Sandbag, don't let him run!"
Pasha had finished throwing the Flashbang and was holding his AWP to cover Xu Beifang's side. Hearing this, he immediately threw an Incendiary Grenade.
After Stewie2k recovered his vision, he hurriedly peeked out to trade, but couldn't find any trace of the opponent.
Seeing the Yellow Wall fire flying over, he thought quickly, took out a Smoke Grenade, and threw it to extinguish the fire.
This was to create an illusion that he had retreated. Stewie2k pushed forward again and asked Coldzera for a second Flashbang.
"Thrown!"
The moment Coldzera spoke, Stewie2k turned his head to dodge the flash, preparing to catch the Terrorists in Banana by surprise.
But the moment he turned his head, he saw a Terrorist had already dry-peeked out!!
At this moment, Stewie2k deeply felt what it meant to be suffocated!!
"Bang!"
【Nice used AK-47 to headshot kill Stewie2k】
What is timing!!
Stewie2k couldn't help but complain inwardly: 'Two people's information on B has already been exposed, and they even countered the smoke. Shouldn't you be turning to find trouble on A? What is this dry-peek!'
But if it were a god's-eye view, Stewie2k would know that his Smoke Grenade was just self-deception, because Pasha's AWP was standing at the Tree Position the whole time, watching the crossing point at the Headshot position.
He knew he must be on the right and hadn't passed!
Xu Beifang didn't ask for a Flashbang because Pasha could cover him and hold that CT down, or at worst, trade for him, so he didn't have much psychological burden.
With two kills on B, Pasha wasn't in a hurry at all.
This wave was already a 5v3 clutch; they could completely take their time.
"Everyone gather back, Neo, you go to the Link and actively probe the situation."
At this stage, the opponent's positioning was probably 1B2A, but VP's personnel were scattered. By the time they gathered, the opponent would probably have re-selected their positions.
So he let Neo actively go to the Link to get information. If there was no one at the Link, it meant the opponent was likely in a 2B setup, and whether they chose to pinch B or rotate, it would be a good choice.
VP gathered, and Neo was picked off by Fer while solo-probing the Link.
Without hesitation, VP directly executed a bomb site hit on B.
Coldzera traded for the low-HP Xu Beifang at the Coffin, but subsequently, he was helpless against the bomb site.
In a 3v3 clutch, MIBR wanted to find an opportunity, but they were picked off one by one.
In the following round, MIBR was broke again and entered a half-buy gambling round.
This time the gamble was good, but the problem was they couldn't win the gunfight. The heavy 4B defense didn't even take down one of VP's rifles. They tried to use smoke to delay time, but were picked off one by one by Byali and Michu.
Coming to the 8th round, both sides were on a full buy round again.
"Stewie2k finally bought an AWP here. The teammates being continuously pushed through by the attack has made them unable to hold back. This round is 3B plus an AWP to fight for Banana."
"Under the pressure of this configuration, can Nice's Banana fight still succeed?" Wanjiqi asked sincerely.
The countdown ended, and Xu Beifang arrived at Banana as usual, threw a standard fire, and jumped into the Tree Position to dodge the flash.
Just as he dodged a Flashbang, an Incendiary Grenade was thrown at his face.
He immediately switched to utility, but with a "hiss," Michu had already extinguished the fire for him, and he had only lost less than 10 HP.
"Good extinguish!" Xu Beifang praised.
If he had to take out the smoke himself, he would probably be at half health.
"Do you need me to come in and help you?" Michu glanced at Xu Beifang's screen and asked.
Xu Beifang looked at the mini-map, moved toward the Recess, and shook his head to refuse: "Not for now. If you can, help me throw a Flashbang. I feel like they are going to come over and clear me."
Hearing this, Michu threw an Incendiary Grenade toward the Barrel.
His judgment was correct. Just as the Tree Position fire was extinguished, two HE grenades exploded at the Tree Position.
"Help me throw a flash, I'm moving position now."
Michu's flash was thrown quickly, and Xu Beifang took advantage of the flash's deterrence to return to the Tree Position.
In Banana, this position is relatively advantageous against the Barrel direction. Unless the opponent throws damage utility, he won't be too passive.
Successfully returning to the Tree Position, Xu Beifang crouched and held the Stone Slab, guarding against a possible double boost from the opponent.
The opponent didn't double boost, but jumped to scout Banana!
"Da da da!"
The AK-47 bullets left the chamber, easily headshotting Tarik, who was jumping in the air.
【Nice used AK-47 to headshot kill Tarik】
"Nice actually caught Tarik this time! He was aware that the opponent would double boost or jump the Stone Slab, and pre-aimed!"
"Losing one person is not an unacceptable result for MIBR. Stewie2k's AWP is still holding the Yellow Wall corner. If VP chooses to speed up, they might not necessarily get the advantage."
After getting a kill, VP didn't move toward this side as a whole. Only Michu slowly pushed forward silently, arriving at the near point of the Stone Slab.
Xu Beifang saw his teammate in position, jumped onto the wood pile at the Tree Position, and started to look at the Yellow Wall.
He didn't see anyone at first glance.
"Stewie2k is crouching at the Yellow Wall corner holding the angle. You can't see his head from the wood pile at the Tree Position. He has to move forward... Michu is preparing to push forward now. How many can Stewie2k catch?"
"Wait!!" Wanjiqi's rich voice suddenly increased, "But before Michu peeked out, Stewie2k's AWP was already torn apart by Nice's AK from the wood pile at the far Tree Position! Nice was aware of this position and directly one-tapped the AWP!!"
"Coldzera stood on the Sandbag and caught Michu, but Nice's pineapple grenade didn't give him time to react. A wave of unreasonable triple kills, and B site was directly opened!!"
"Fer and the Soul Palace Elder seem to be entering the saving-weapon phase again. They don't even have a moment to retake. This is the man I specifically opened the back door for to explain the demo!!"
【Tell me more about the back door】
【???】
【Banana was just broken through like that??】
【What trash director, go work in a factory】
【I only saw one jumping on the Stone Slab for the front kills, I didn't see any of the back kills, Zhao Gan, what are you doing!】
【Nice is really fierce, should have let him play Banana long ago. A real man should fight in Banana, why play the side path?】
The live stream was discussing this wave of kills, but because of the director's incompetence, they didn't see Xu Beifang's POV, only the kill feed in the top right corner. They could only look forward to the replay.
The ZOTAC Masters director finally did something praiseworthy. During MIBR's saving-weapon time, Xu Beifang's kill POV was quickly played.
First, he relied on pre-aim to catch Tarik jumping to scout, and then actively peeked to hit Stewie2k, who was crouching and holding the AWP at the Yellow Wall. From the kill footage, it could be seen that he was consciously clearing that position.
"The sexy male college student from Xijiang, the 1200-hour epiphany youth, this is the charm of Nice!" Wanjiqi sighed, "This guy is really a freak, brothers."
? ¢o
"Three consecutive one-taps, what do you say? Banana was stabbed through in one wave, the AWP didn't even get a shot off, and the only one who got a kill, Coldzera, was blown up by a grenade."
"It's completely impossible to win head-on. And even if you want to control Banana, haven't you noticed that although VP seems to let Nice roam, in fact, whether it's smoke, fire, or flash, they basically provide whatever he asks for. Nice himself is also capable. This Banana defense is too comfortable to watch."
【This pre-aim is like pre-firing, Stewie2k can't react at all】
【I declare that Banana is now under Nice's jurisdiction!】
【This man's playstyle is too fierce, I really love it】
The Hong Kong audience off-stage exclaimed. Xu Beifang's breakthrough once again hit their G-spot.
It's just that compared to the mainland, the emotions here were a bit more subtle and didn't seem very crazy.
But for VP, these things didn't matter.
What mattered was that the score reached 6:2, VP's economy was already established, and Xu Beifang's hand-feel was completely out. Even the other members of VP began to have some prospects for victory!
MIBR, who had been continuously crushed head-on, chose to call the first timeout of the map.
Monthly tickets reached 1200, another chapter...
Because I was out having dinner with my family today, it's a bit late...
I'll tally the tips tomorrow.
PS: I'm not sure if the commander of MIBR in 2018 was the Soul Palace Elder or Tarik. I wanted to check the information but couldn't. If anyone knows, please tell me. The previous chapter was purely because I was sleepy in the afternoon, there were a few mistakes, and I've already corrected them.
