Chapter 87: Xu Beifang didn't invite a god, Electronic himself possessed him!
"The score on Map 2 is locked at 16:12, the game is over!" Wanjiqi shouted loudly in the live stream, "MIBR is done! They ultimately didn't end the game directly and lost a map to VP!"
"There's no way, Coldzera's performance in the second half was good enough, but there is a monster in the server. Nice played 28 rounds and got 30 kills, Coldzera only got 20 kills. How is this supposed to be played?"
"It can only be said that on this map, Lü Bu pushed VP's few people forward. In the second half, he finally woke Pasha up. MIBR couldn't handle one Lü Bu, and adding a muscle man, how are you supposed to play?"
【To be honest, Nice's performance in this game is indeed awesome. 30 kills in 28 rounds means he got a kill every round】
【The performance on Map 1 wasn't much different, it's mainly that Nice started to exert force early in this game, giving VP a chance to organize】
【Still calling him Nice? Call him Lü Bu!!】
【Today is God Lü Bu!】
【So fierce, I feel like Lü Bu will aim for 90 kills in this BO3 today】
【Too abnormal, after finishing IEM Shanghai, this Nice is like he awakened】
【Actually, it's not awakening, it's that VP's others are not in state, making little Xu look very awesome】
【……】
Xu Beifang helped the team win Inferno with an inhuman posture, immediately causing a huge discussion among the audience in the live stream.
And in the battle room, VP's emotions were also very excited.
The moment Map 2 ended, Pasha excitedly shouted: "Why do they like to duel you so much today?"
"You are too awesome, brother. Today I was completely conquered by you. You are the next Rain God!" Byali shook his head and sighed.
Looking at the scoreboard after Map 2 ended, everyone had an expression of disbelief.
They had thought about winning this map, but they didn't expect to win in this way.
Xu Beifang got a total of 30 kills, while the kill counts of Neo, Byali, and Michu combined were 32.
The firepower of the three of them head-on could barely compare to Nice alone. This is crazy!
Xu Beifang was praised crazily by his brothers and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Kuben patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Nice, your performance today is great. I feel like this BO3 has some chance of winning."
To be honest, before this BO3 started, they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.
After all, this is MIBR. Although it is a reorganized team, there is a group of star players in the team.
They know the strength of the Brazilian champion SK very well.
Stewie2k and Tarik led C9 to win the Major championship in Boston '18 in the first half, making that match a nightmare for FaZe members.
That was also the closest Niko had ever been to his dream.
How could the two people who could defeat the Galaxy Battleship be weak?
So for this match, the group of VP people came with a tourist mindset.
But today, the young player in the team exploded crazily, and they looked at it—it seems there is a chance for a comeback!
VP's thoughts suddenly became active. This attitude is actually quite normal.
It's like a second-tier professional basketball player who knows they will play against the Lakers next. The gap between the two lineups is too large. These old oilers know their strength very well and won't practice like young people at match point.
But when the game started, they found that the strength shown by the opponent was not very exaggerated, so they had some ideas.
If VP really defeated MIBR today, it would be a very interesting piece of news in the whole circle.
……
After the halftime adjustment, both sides entered Map 3, Mirage.
After a simple knife round to pick sides, MIBR won the knife round and got the right to pick sides. They chose to defend first.
Although they knew VP's breakthrough was fierce, they won the knife round, so naturally, there was no reason to give the defense to the opponent.
VP went first as the attacking side. Pasha started to call the pistol round tactics: "Let's pinch A, I'll throw a VIP smoke, Neo will throw an Arch smoke."
This tactic was proposed by Xu Beifang in the match against HR. Later, Pasha and others found it quite useful, so they included it in VP's tactical library.
However, in subsequent training, they also refined this tactic through their own understanding, changing from a single Arch smoke to an Arch pinch A tactic with Arch smoke plus VIP smoke.
However, when Pasha and his teammates rushed into the middle, they found that the VIP smoke failed, and their tactic only had one Arch smoke playing a role.
Xu Beifang followed Neo's A1 high flash and rushed out, starting to find angles to collect information.
"Pop!"
【Coldzera used USP to headshot kill Nice】
Coldzera, who came out of Long Box, peeked out and one-tapped him directly.
Xu Beifang, who was head-on, was one-tapped. Byali and Pasha in the Arch jumped out of the smoke and successfully traded for Coldzera.
Xu Beifang, who had already been killed, saw Byali at the Jump Platform and suddenly felt something was wrong, hurriedly reminding: "There was someone at the Jump Platform just now, maybe they mixed in the smoke with you!"
Hearing this, Byali turned his head and just happened to catch Fer, who was touching out, and killed him with one shot.
Fer was somewhat speechless. He thought he was smart enough, deliberately letting people pass to hit their backs, but the opponent reacted. There was really no way.
The Soul Palace Elder had been hiding at the bomb site dead point as an old-six, and when he heard the ticking sound, he came out wanting to sneak attack.
But he didn't expect that there were two people holding guns near the bomb planter, and he was instantly focused and killed.
The remaining Stewie2k and Tarik on B site could only sigh in the face of this 2v4 retake clutch, and despite their efforts, they couldn't win.
VP won the pistol round.
"VP had no mistakes in this head-on gunfight, not to mention that many of their guns were caught off guard first, and then they countered the opponent. Byali and Michu both got a double five-kill. Nice's death in this round was irrelevant."
Wanjiqi's praise was not fake.
Originally, this heavy A defense setup was very fatal for the Terrorists, but Byali killed two first, directly tearing open the CT defensive formation. Later, the Soul Palace Elder wanted to sneak attack but failed. VP's head-on fight this wave was indeed flawless.
Wanjiqi drank some water and continued to explain the forced buy round:
"MIBR's conventional 212 setup, but with VP's movement, this is preparing to directly pinch A from the Arch!"
"Pasha and Neo are playing in the middle. As the Arch smoke dissipates, if no one helps Fer bait, he will be very uncomfortable in the Arch."
"Arch instant flash, Pasha's shotgun directly came to clear. Fer's awareness was in place, he turned his back to the flash in advance, but due to the gun disadvantage, he didn't beat Pasha's shotgun."
The Arch was opened, and A1 and A2 started to synchronize.
Xu Beifang aimed in A2, preparing to burn under A2 first.
But just as he used the lighter to light the Incendiary Grenade, a CT holding a CZ rushed in directly.
"Nice didn't expect it. Stewie2k directly rushed the second-floor fire, and the opponent had already entered. On the other side, Coldzera in B Small also used a Desert Eagle to one-tap Byali."
"The Soul Palace Elder is still constantly bleeding people with a no-armor Scout in the CT Spawn!! Pasha, who was hit hard by Fer in the Arch, was also taken away by the Soul Palace Elder with one shot. Michu finally rushed to his face and killed the Soul Palace Elder."
"But Neo at A1 hasn't come over yet. In this 2v3 clutch, their health is not very high. It's impossible for Michu to go to B site to plant the bomb. Now they can only find opportunities on A site first."
Wanjiqi took a breath: "There are also people in A2. If they can't clear A2, they can't plant the bomb on A."
"Full-HP Michu took the initiative, Coldzera in B Small one-tapped him with a Galil from a long distance. The remaining low-HP Neo still has to pick up the bomb. This can't be played anymore!"
Already low on health, facing this solo clutch, Neo couldn't win either.
The score reached 1:1.
……
"My bad, my bad, I pressed 4 to summon the enemy," Xu Beifang actively said in the voice chat.
This timing was caught too fatally, resulting in no way to fight back.
Later, A2 was occupied, which made their tactics unable to spread out, affecting the overall attack.
It can only be said that although Stewie2k is not likable, his strength is quite strong.
To some extent, his playstyle is somewhat similar to Stewie2k.
Xu Beifang is charging forward regardless of his life, and his bold attack is unexpected.
And Stewie2k is attacking and catching timing in ways the opponent doesn't expect. All kinds of pushing through smoke and stepping on fire are the norm.
Both of their playstyles make their opponents feel disgusted.
VP didn't blame Xu Beifang. This round was indeed his problem.
But even this Map 3 was fought for by him for VP. It was just a small mistake, so it wasn't a big problem.
Xu Beifang's mentality remained good, but MIBR seemed to have found their rhythm next.
Xu Beifang clearly didn't invite a god, but felt like Electronic possessed him.
For several consecutive rounds, he was headshot and killed the moment he went out, hit by grenades and slowed down, and he was numb.
Although Byali and Pasha's state warmed up somewhat, they couldn't win several consecutive clutches.
The score reached 1:7 without knowing it, and VP was forced to call a timeout.
"Everyone calm down, let's adjust our mentality," Kuben, as the coach, spoke up to comfort VP.
He could see that VP was playing a bit anxiously now. Continuous point loss made them start to rush around, but they always gave away kills in the early stage, unable to launch effective attacks.
The attacks in these two rounds weren't even connected well, and they were picked off one by one.
Xu Beifang was a little helpless. This was pure bad luck and the opponent's good hand-feel. He really didn't have any good way.
But he didn't give up. He believed that as long as he killed two more people later and got his hand-feel out, everything would get better.
"Let's concentrate our numbers and play together to trade kills next," Pasha finally explained the tactics he had considered, "Control the middle at the start, then 4 people group up and touch toward the Arch, engage in a close-range fight with them, and try to take the Arch."
He felt that his players' firepower wasn't bad. Now it's more because they are anxious due to continuous point loss, unable to play effective trading and cooperation.
Since that's the case, just play a wave of fast trading, which is definitely much better than being picked off one by one before.
The countdown ended, VP threw a VIP smoke and a crossing smoke, and the main force headed straight for the middle.
……
"Lü Bu has fallen! He's going to be hanged at the White Gate Tower this round!" Wanjiqi joked during the timeout.
Facing the full screen of question marks, he smiled and said: "Just a little joke. Lü Bu's record on Map 3 has reached 0/2/7. This record is indeed not very good, but there's no way when he keeps getting one-tapped."
"I hope that after this timeout, Lü Bu can open up and find his hand-feel. VP's home really can't do without Lü Bu's performance!"
After VP's main force threw the two smoke grenades in the middle, they quickly crossed the point and prepared to occupy the middle.
——Bang!
The sound of an AWP rang out, and the bullet passed through the two smoke grenades from the VIP entrance. Byali turned into Xu Beifang's stand-in, helping him take away the bad luck.
【Fallen used AWP to wallbang kill Byali】
"So everyone on MIBR can use an AWP, right." Byali was wallbanged at the start and could only complain helplessly.
Pasha threw a fire at the Arch, then picked up Byali's utility and continued to push forward.
Knowing that the Terrorists' offensive in the middle was huge, the CT quickly added an Arch smoke to delay time.
Xu Beifang could only calm down and wait quietly for this smoke grenade to dissipate, and then launch an attack with his teammates in the second timing.
In the second timing, they added a VIP smoke, and Neo grabbed an Arch flash and threw it directly.
"Pop!"
The Flashbang exploded, and Xu Beifang and Michu peeked left and right toward the Arch under the Arch.
"Nice peeked horizontally and one-tapped the Soul Palace Elder, who was holding the AWP directly! But Fer on the left also killed Michu. How about the 1v1 close-range fight between the two sides? Can Nice seize this opportunity?"
"Fer's position was locked, he could only come out to find an opportunity. This time Lü Bu finally found his hand-feel and got a double kill. Is he going to get better?"
After getting two kills in the Arch, Xu Beifang didn't rush to push, but kept peeking at A site, while also communicating quickly within the team.
"Which side to hit? Arch to A or rush B Small?"
Pasha thought for a while and explained his idea: "Hold for about 10 seconds, then Nice, you go B Small, and Neo and I will go B2 to pinch B. Mainly because there is information about Stewie2k on A site that we don't know. I'm worried he touched into A2."
In a 3v3 clutch, there is still one piece of information unknown on A site. It's really troublesome to find him.
So Pasha prepared to wait for a timing, letting the opponent think they were going to hit A.
"In the second timing, Nice walked forward from B Small, and Pasha and Neo walked B2. A pinch on B site started like this. Now there is only one CT on B site. It seems this wave is really going to be taken!!"
"Did Tarik think someone would come from behind? Unfortunately, he heard it, but he couldn't turn around anymore. This positioning is really too passive."
"Coldzera and Stewie2k started to retake. In a 3v2 bomb-site-holding clutch, this round seems to really have a chance!"
Neo went to the bomb site to plant the bomb, and Pasha stood on B2 with his AWP holding the window directly.
He held it for a while, but was a bit worried about someone coming from behind, so he told Neo and retracted his scope to look toward the Sewer direction.
But the moment he retracted his scope and moved, he saw the CT in the window of the Supermarket appear.
——Bang!
【Coldzera used AWP to kill Paszabiceps】
"What's the situation!! Coldzera, who retook from the Supermarket, tore apart the rice-seller!! But Lü Bu killed another one on the B Small Arch side!! He has already gotten a quadruple kill. Now it's a 2v1 clutch. Is there a pentakill?" Wanjiqi's voice was full of anticipation.
"Coldzera's AWP is holding this side, pushing the scope forward bit by bit. VP actually just needs to hold steady this round. As long as they hold steady, they win."
But Xu Beifang, who heard his teammate's callout, trusted his intuition, adjusted his pre-aim, and peeked out directly.
"Bang!"
Coldzera, who was crouching and holding the AWP, was directly knocked away by this big peek!
【Nice used AK-47 to headshot kill Coldzera】
In this duel, the confidence from the entry fragger allowed him to win!
Xu Beifang therefore got his first pentakill in a tournament!
There is another chapter tonight……
