CSGO: This player is too obedient!

"One to zero!" The voice of the English stream commentator JZFB was extremely exciting, and the audience cheered vigorously when it was conveyed, "In the first picture of this semi-final confrontation, although Little Bee selected the Death Building for the first time in the game, But they showed quite terrifying strength!”

His partner ddk nodded, "The community players are looking forward to Little Bee's Building. I think this performance will satisfy their fans."

The cheers in the stadium suddenly became louder, and everyone responded to ddk's words with their voices.

They were indeed very satisfied with this one.

The Death Building has just come out, and now everyone still has a fresh feeling about it, so it won't become a sleepy building.

In addition, the Little Bee team has very frequent frontal firefights, and their emotions are tense because of the constant confrontation, so it is still very interesting to watch the normal game.

Bao Lan took off his headphones, and the sound in the venue was like the howling cold wind in winter, entering the room and entering his ears.

The cheers from the audience were still enthusiastic, but at the moment it was so stinging.

What stung him even more were the numbers on the freeze frame.

16:2

9/2/14

In this confrontation, as a 'fan', he was really beaten up by his idol throughout the whole process.

If he remembered correctly, he was on defense at A and had only single-killed Xu Beifang once in the whole game.

But his death in the hands of Xu Beifang has been countless.

In fact, Xu Beifang is not his idol.

As the most outstanding young genius in Sweden, he debuted very early and entered the professional circle much earlier than Xu Beifang. It is impossible for Xu Beifang to become his idol.

At most, it’s just a goal.

He also wants to be like Xu Beifei, who can quickly realize his talent after entering the first-line arena, shine in competitions, and become the player that everyone expects.

Is the gap between us so big?

Xu Beifang's 22-2-8 record was right in front of him, and Bao Lan felt a little disappointed for a moment.

He didn't quite understand. Little Bee and Fnatic had also played several training matches. During the training matches, he felt that Nice was just like that, not at a particularly exaggerated level.

But when he actually entered the game, the opponent directly put him under full pressure.

Although this was Little Bee's choice, he was very motivated before the game, thinking that no matter what, he could save the team from the fire.

But at the end of the game, they only scored two points in the beginning, and then they were beaten by the Bees for 16 consecutive rounds.

Now my head is dizzy, my face is red, my chest is tight, and my hands are shaking...

The picture on the opposite side directly puts them in a state of confusion.

…

"Is this how you treat your fans?"

In the Little Bee contestant box, shox took off his headphones and joked to Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang beamed: "When it comes to treating fans, you have to teach them something real."

This picture made him happy.

Why did Xu Beifang spend so much time on various map training and research on various props?

Isn’t it just for this moment?

JackZ took off his earphones and scratched his head: "Northern is indeed a real C today, unlike me... who became an electronic brother later on and got fooled to death for no reason."

"Nonsense, you are very useful." Xu Beifang lightly punched JackZ and praised him sincerely, "There are many times when you are not helping me pull the second line of fire, or the props are provided, and I shoot in front. It’s definitely not that easy.”

If apEX asked Xu Beifang to play singles today, he should still be able to suppress Baolan and prevent him from performing, but it would definitely not be possible to play so smoothly.

Although JakckZ plays a supporting role in the back, he has played a role in the back position many times.

Xu Beifang was operating from the front, and JackZ also attracted the attention of another person in area A. As long as Xu Beifang wanted to dodge, he could do it in time. This kind of cooperation was not very comfortable.

JackZ has a strong execution ability and is willing to cooperate with Xu Beifang in a supportive manner. What more could you ask for with a teammate like this?

This is also due to the changes after fighting the liquid.

Originally in the team, JackZ was also a breakthrough player at the front point, teaming up with Xu Beifang to carry out the replenishing shot style.

But in that game, it was discovered that JackZ's replenishment efficiency was indeed good, but his ability to find opportunities head-on was far inferior to Xu Beifang's.

Later, they tried to find that on some maps with larger map structures, especially those with more default areas, JackZ could cooperate with Xu Beifei at a far point, and then move closer to replenish the gun when needed.

Now in the first round of conceptual partial ideas, the overall effect is pretty good.

Xu Beifang is also adjusting his playing style.

With JackZ's follow-up shots, his overall attack can be bolder. For example, after confirming the opponent's information, he can directly go to fight with someone.

But now this style of play requires him to pay more attention to details.

There are also benefits for the team. Xu Beifang's style of play can often get a lot of information.

In this way, even if you are killed, apEX can lead the team to make better judgments and win back the game.

Besides, there is something in the pocket.

Xu Beifang turned to look at Zaiwu. The scene was at intermission, and he was just dancing happily with Shox, as usual.

But he understood very well.

After winning the Stars League Cup, Zaowu's playing style has changed a lot.

He played more aggressively from the front and got more kills overall.

The Little Bees were able to score 16:2 in this game. In many cases, Xu Beifang got a kill on the front, and Zaiwu got a kill on the other end, which directly blossomed on both sides.

After the Stars League, Little Bee’s understanding of the CSGO game has improved by leaps and bounds, and Zaiwu has also ushered in a period of rapid growth.

Xu Beifang broke through from the front and exerted his strength. Zaiwu and shox were able to take the lead, plus the team had sufficient pre-match preparations.

It is normal for them to have such a huge score difference today.

Shox was dancing with Zaiwu over there. Hearing the chat here, he also added: "I also made some meritorious deeds today. My instant flash has been top-notch many times."

apEX nodded: "Everyone's cooperation was very smooth today. We just have to pursue this style of play. Let Zaiwu and Beifang break the gap head-on, and then everyone will cooperate to gain further advantages."

Silent contact has always been the offensive style pursued by apEX.

He tried this style of play when he first became a conductor, but it was not ideal.

After all, the team's frontal firepower and compatibility are not enough.

The play styles of NBK and RPK are somewhat out of sync with the entire team's. Silent contact sometimes kills people in the middle of a fight.

But now that the large force has sufficient firepower and coordination, the effect is immediate.

shox glanced at apEX with a wicked smile: "Brothers, the props are indeed very good today, but your flashing is a bit perverted, and you have dodged me several times in frontal fights."

"That was an accident! An accident!"

apEX shouted urgently.

Others just smiled and showed understanding.

After all, as the leader of the team, apEX often thinks in multi-threads, and sometimes his head cannot keep up with the rhythm of his hands, which is understandable.

Just when Little Bee and the others were teasing Bean, they saw the audience exclaiming, and the sound of intense AK47 firefights could be heard in their ears.

On the huge screen at the scene, the highlight kill of this scene has already begun to be played.

Xu Beifang's frontal breakthrough and Zaiwu's several consecutive kills once again appeared in the live broadcast room.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Beifang's makeup photo and the specific data of this game appeared on the huge screen.

Kills/assists/deaths: 22/2/8

Average damage per game: 104.2

Not free rate: 85%

rating: 1.79

After the data in Figure 1 appeared, it instantly aroused discussion in the live broadcast room.

[What exaggerated data]

[Swedish genius boy? My opinion is that you should practice more when cooking! 】

[Fnatic’s Area A is just like Xiao Xu’s home, it’s so relaxing]

[Zone A in this picture has been penetrated countless times, Fnatic can’t understand it at all]

[Especially when I couldn’t beat him and kept pushing towards slope A, as a fan of Fnatic, I was very anxious to see it]

[Pure crushing, not an enemy at all]

…

"It's great! Fnatic was beaten violently throughout the whole game, with no room to fight back. Little Bee's building is really perverted." NIKO said with a smile.

Previously, he was beaten into a zombie by Xu Beifang in Huangbu every day, so he was very looking forward to seeing what level the little bee could perform after being selected.

Now he not only won, but even won with such an exaggerated score, which made him very satisfied.

The Rain God said in confusion: "Little Bee's building is so strong, why are you so happy?"

As the current No. 4 in the world, Faze has always wanted to prove that the international lineup is a viable lineup.

NIKO also wants to prove to the audience that his command is no problem.

They also have a lot of ideas about being number one in the world.

But Little Bee is a very strong opponent for them. He doesn't understand why NIKO can laugh when he sees Little Bee showing another strong picture.

"The stronger Little Bee's building is, it proves that we are not bad at this map." NIKO explained.

As the training match targets of Little Bees, they have been dragged by Little Bees to play this map every day recently.

They were also beaten violently by Little Bee at first and had no power to fight back.

But as I practiced, I gradually adapted to the intensity.

Professional players learn very quickly, and they have kept up with the pace. Although they still cannot win, they are getting more and more points.

The strength shown by Little Bee is very strong, which shows that Faze has a good grasp of this map, at least better than Fnatic.

"Hehe." NIKO smiled softly, "The most important thing is that Nice played this map so well that I can't be the only one to be beaten."

If only NIKO was killed by Xu Beifang on this map, he would be very uncomfortable.

But he would feel good if someone else suffered too.

"Your idea is really immoral." Rain God complained about NIKO, and then said, "But this Nice attack is really cruel, Bao Lan is autistic, haha."

"Now we'll see if Fnatic can get back into shape."

NIKO looked at the Fnatic players who were silent under the camera. He was silent for a long time and shook his head:

"16:2, this point difference is too big. Although it is a veteran and strong team, it does not mean that it can be adjusted well."

"I think it's hanging."

…

After the 15-minute intermission, the venue footage appeared in the live broadcast room again.

English stream commentator JFZB quickly explained on the commentary table: "The players returned to the battle room. The victory in Figure 1 made Little Bee feel very good. They played really well in the last game. Nice, as a breakthrough player, basically Zone A was penetrated, and Fnatic had no power to fight back.”

"We can obviously see that Little Bee has made adequate preparations in his map selection." ddk continued, "The second picture shows Fnatic's choice of Desert City. On this map, the gap between Fnatic and Little Bee may be It won’t be that big, and there is still a good chance of getting them back.”

ddk believes that Fnatic still has hope of dragging the game into map three. After all, this is Fnatic’s own map selection. Fnatic’s performance in the previous two days was also good enough. In map one, the little bee pressed the hammer, mainly because the map understanding gap was too big. When it is too big, the marksmanship cannot be used at all.

JFZB shook his head: "That's not the case. Although this is Fnatic's map selection, the winning rate of this map of Little Bee is also very high. The comeback after chasing for more than ten rounds was also born on this map. .”

"Furthermore, the royal blueprint on the front has been knocked unconscious, and Nice's performance is still outstanding. Personally, I prefer the Bee to end the game 2-0."

He has always believed that Fnatic is a first-line goalkeeper. The addition of Baolan has caused some slight fluctuations in their strength, but not much.

In comparison, Little Bee's strength is quite impressive.

As the famous Nice Blower, he was the commentator who said that Xu Beifang was the world's number one breakthrough player in the first half of the year.

He thinks that the player Xu Beifang is too outrageous.

As a breakthrough player, he can often achieve the statistics of a sniper, and his performance is very stable, which is ridiculous.

In the Stars League finals, I saw Xu Beifei almost dominating S1mple, but I was so excited by him. I just regretted that he was not the commentator of the finals at the time and couldn't explain passionately.

But now at IEM Sydney, there happened to be a Little Bee game, and Nice played really well, so he would not be stingy with his praise.

In his expectant eyes, the two sides officially entered the competition in the Lost City.

This is Fnatic's map selection. They will be the offensive side first.

In the pistol round, Fnatic chose a wave of explosive bombs in area B to increase the speed. Little Bee arranged a play style that heavily defends area A. shox played 1 for 1 on single B. The 4 people who were still alive chose to go from the supermarket and B small Synchronous return to defense.

However, JW and Baolan came forward to strike first, and the goods in the supermarket and B's small apEX were instantly destroyed.

The two English-speaking commentators thought that there was no way to win this round, but JacKZ stood up at this time and let everyone see what a French man's pistol is.

USP made a strong comeback with three players in a row!

The two English commentators were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Little Bee would win a 2V4 endgame again. This was already the third time that Little Bee was 2V4 in this game. They once wondered whether Little Bee had awakened something. Weird Buff.

The game was still going on, and the advantageous endgame after putting down the thunder package was once again beaten back by Little Bee. This was a big blow to Fnatic's morale.

“Let’s go Fnatic!!”

Just when Fnatic was feeling depressed, a fan shouted loudly in the venue.

They were slightly stunned in the player seats, and then the venue turned into a roar of cheers from fans. Fnatic stabilized its mentality amidst these cheers.

This is the offline competition of CSGO.

Audiences can also become an important part of offline competitions.

Fnatic also sorted out their emotions and their thinking became clearer.

Although they lost the pistol round, Fnatic's economy was still very good after successfully putting down mine packs.

xizt chose to mobilize the team's economy and came up with a configuration of one AK47 and three Galils.

In terms of firearms, they directly crushed Little Bee.

Baolan also found his rhythm in this point. At the beginning, he used his teammates' flash bombs to peek in the middle and directly knocked out the load. Later, Fnatic used simple props to directly take control of the middle.

Then Fnatic directly performed a wave of B small speed boosts.

After the load in the middle was knocked out, only shox was left to defend in area B.

This wave of speed boosts in Area B was going on. Shox noticed something was wrong, but was instantly knocked out by Baolan from a distance.

apEX had the fastest recovery speed and went directly to the supermarket to make up for the defense, but he only killed one and was taken out.

There was nothing they could do now, so Xu Beifang and JackZ immediately started to save their guns.

Come to the third round.

At this point, Fnatic still wanted to launch a wave of mid lane B in the second moment.

Little Bee saved two long guns in the last point, and apEX and others also followed up with a wave of short guns and props.

When Xu Beifei opened the door, he stepped forward to touch the A2 floor. After confirming that there was no one on the A2 floor, he moved forward and started touching.

The remaining members directly defended to area B.

Fnatic exploded a wave of bombs in Area B. It turned out that Little Bee had already set up the gun position, and the frontal firefight was frantically exchanging numbers. Xu Beifang, who was in the front, easily took the last head, and Little Bee completed the comeback. .

Fnatic didn't expect that because of the loose default in the start of this wave, Little Bee just caught the opportunity.

However, the members of Fnatic still encouraged each other to bump fists and worked hard to compete for every score.

In the next few rounds, Xu Beifang also felt that on this map, Fnatic's rhythm was indeed much better than in Figure 1.

Sure enough, on this popular map, everyone has a few brushes.

Xu Beifang felt that Fnatic's rhythm was better than the previous game, but Fnatic felt that Little Bee's frontal suppression was still strong.

Nice is on this map, although it is not as exaggerated a breakthrough as in the first map.

But their several waves of collaboration in Area A were all disgusted by Nice's use of props.

There were also several times when B was caught in the middle, and as he was fighting, he found that Nice had already touched the back road.

The final score in the first half was fixed at 9:6.

The offensive side only scored 6 points, which is an acceptable score for Fnatic. At least compared to 2 points in Figure 1, this can already be tried.

Baolan scored 14 kills in the first half and has regained some confidence.

As the member with the hottest hand, Baolan took the initiative and said: "It's only three scores. As long as we can win a pistol round in the second half, we can tie the score. It's not a big problem to get the score back."

JW also nodded: "Fight hard. It's not easy for us to fight all the way here. We need to work harder."

From auditions to preliminaries to formal competitions, this kind of qualifying event is not easy.

Although they knew that Little Bee was very powerful, they still had certain hopes for this match.

With everyone at Fnatic encouraging each other, the pistol round began in the second half.

Under apEX's instructions, Little Bee chose a wave of speed-increasing explosive bombs in area A.

But Bao Lan's touch was very hot. During this wave of attacks in area A, he fired three bullets in a row.

In the subsequent endgame between Zhiwu and apEX, Zhiwu performed very well, but still failed to win the endgame.

"Fnatic still won the pistol round in the second half. This wave of Sapphire was indeed too accurate against the police, and they were defeated too quickly."

"Little Bee decisively chose the hard shot, but if this wave of hard shots fails, the score will be tied directly." English stream commentator JZFB was analyzing the situation.

[Baolan is truly a genius boy, this wave was finished in seconds]

[If you ask me, it’s just that the bean flash bomb is too crotch-stretching, and it doesn’t affect it at all]

[Three of them were pulled out in seconds, Zaiwu and Doudou fought back three of them, they have tried their best]

After losing the pistol round, apEX directed Little Bee to strengthen.

However, he has also done some work on strengthening himself.

Without putting his bag in the bag, he threw a handful of Galil directly to Xu Beifang.

"Although there was no minefield, Little Bee still chose to be strong, and Nice even got a hero Galil,"

"Will this be a foreshadowing for this round?"

"Little Bee gave VIP cigarettes at the beginning, and after putting the load into the sandbag, Nice slowly pushed forward in the sewer alone. Judging from the situation, he was preparing for synchronized cooperation."

Xu Beifang had already carried Galil to the sewer exit. After taking a good look, he peeked at the location of the arch. The other party did not directly enter the sewer, nor did he allow him to find a chance.

He fished it out directly from the sewer. Seeing this, Zaiwu asked, "Do you want me to help you dodge the arch?"

Xu Beifang said "Yeah" and was about to paint the arch again when he saw a smoke bomb explode close to the arch, blocking their view.

"You wait for a while, I'll hide it in the smoke, you can try to grab it again."

The two exchanged words quickly. Xu Beifang hid in the smoke bomb, and the archway carrying the object flashed instantly.

"Bang!"

The flash bomb exploded, and Xu Beifang also took out the smoke bomb. After quickly searching the dead corner on the left side of the arch and the box on the right hand side, he determined that no one was there, so he quietly and slowly moved behind the box, and prepared for a while to pick up the opponent to investigate the arch. CT.

But at this time, there was a cry of surprise in the venue.

Xu Beifang was so frightened that his gun trembled, and he glanced at the upper right corner, feeling a little confused.

There is no kill information, and there are no kills.

Who is teasing the audience?

In CSGO competitions, there is a little trick to take advantage of the offline audience, which is when you realize that the main perspective of the live broadcast is on you.

You can draw circles with your crosshair, and once you hit the wall, the audience will respond to you with their cheers.

Hmm...this little trick is pretty unethical.

He didn't understand why the audience exclaimed.

Baolan, who was standing on the left side of the arch, didn't know either.

His teammates had just given him a refill of Arch Smoke, and Bao Lan was going to use the Arch One-Way Smoke to see the closer enemies. Even if he ate a flash bomb, he didn't reveal the information, so he just wanted to steal a wave.

Suddenly he heard the shouts of the audience, which made him tremble all over, thinking that the crosshairs had targeted the enemy.

But took a closer look.

There is someone here!

"A Nice touch was touched on the arch. Baolan was still looking under the arch. He had no idea that Nice had been touched!"

"And Nice doesn't know there is anyone in the arch here, both of them are having their own fights!" JZFB exclaimed in the commentary box. This kind of dramatic scene usually only appears in the game of Dabaiyin. This professional When it appeared in the game, it was a bit dramatic.

The director is also very knowledgeable. He directly used the camera to cut a third-person God's perspective to the audience.

(reference picture)

"Fate is so wonderful. Do you understand what it means to fight side by side with my enemies?"

"There is only a wall between them, but they are completely unaware of each other's existence. I have already imagined a series of love movies in my mind!"

【Top! ! 】

[Hahahahaha, what B timing?]

【We hug back to back】

[World famous paintings hahaha, it made me laugh so hard]

【These two guys are suffocating】

At the same time, the audience is also very curious about who will make the first move in this wave.

Baolan stood at the arch for a while, and until the smoke cleared from the arch, he still didn't get any information.

At this time, he decisively asked B's teammate for a mid-lane flash bomb, and was ready to peek directly.

"Bang!"

"Da da da!"

Flash bombs and M4 gunshots rang out from closer to the arch, and Xu Beifang, who was still raising his gun, was stunned for an instant.

"Arch Gate has been cleared!" Zaiwu shouted in great surprise, "What's going on with you in the north?"

This time, he thought the arch was empty and had always set up a VIP. However, after a flash grenade exploded, a CT rushed out of the arch, shocking him.

Xu Beifang didn't understand what happened, but he reacted quickly. He immediately turned the muzzle of his gun and looked under the arch.

But this time, he only saw half of his body out of sight.

The search point he just searched flashed through his mind, and he also understood that Baolan had just been standing on the right side of the arch.

He thought that no one would stand in that position after the attack, so he subconsciously ignored it.

In the end, this was a mistake.

Gunshots were heard from both the VIP and the arch, and the cargo was sold this time. However, Xu Beifang had a storm in his mind, but he did not go to the middle to cause trouble for Baolan.

"Doudou, I caught an amazing timing, can you guys gather at Building A2?"

"I can go to the policeman's house later."

Looking at Xu Beifang's position, Dou Dou also understood what Xu Beifang wanted to do.

"Give it a try, JackZ still has flash bombs. When we fly out later, we need you to dodge the enemies near the jumping platform. The others will follow me directly to the direction of Building A2."

Xu Beifang quietly entered the jungle. Looking at JW who was standing upright with Zhongyuan in the VIP room, he resisted the hand that fired and quietly entered the police house little by little.

Zaiwu also understood Xu Beifang's thoughts. He worked hard to delay in the middle, and even seized the opportunity to kill the JW who was holding the gun with a headshot, and forcibly replaced one.

JW was also very speechless after being killed.

This is the strongest group of young people now, and their performance in the game is so abnormal and unreasonable at all.

"In this case, Fnatic is at a great loss. This wave of counter-clearance in the middle lane has captured the loader, but JW has been counter-killed." ddk also noticed the disharmony on the mini-map, "And this Nice has already touched the policeman's house, he won't really mess him up this time."

Xu Beifang touched the police house and soon saw xizt holding an AUG and setting up A1 under the police phone booth. Near the short box, there was another person squatting and setting up A2.

He quickly arranged a firing rhythm in his mind and placed the crosshair on the CT head of the short box first.

"Bang! Bang!"

[Nice used Galil to kill twist with a headshot]

The firefight in the middle didn't go well, but fortunately Baolan got control of the sandbag. He was hanging on the sandbag alone, and was wandering around to investigate the sewers and the bandits' entrance, so that they didn't have to worry about enemies in the arch.

Twist concentrates on holding up the A2 floor, just be careful that someone might come out of the A2 floor.

But suddenly there was a gunshot from behind. Before he could react, he was killed instantly.

Xizt, who was in the police house, realized something was wrong and immediately controlled the mouse to shoot and turned around.

But Xu Beifang didn't give him any chance, and killed him directly with a single shot.

"Nice took advantage of this wave of excellent timing and successfully stole two big backs. The little bee taught him a lesson about chain smoke and an A-lift dodge. He flew down from the A2 floor and put down the mine bag."

"Baolan and KRIMZ didn't know what was going on, but they still tried their best to return to defense. However, the mine bag had been put down. Little Bee even took control of the police. apEX and shox had long guns that they could use. They Does Bo really have a chance to return to defense?"

"Baolan probed the situation from the platform, but was directly taken away by shox's AUG fire. There was no room for maneuver at all, and KRIMZ could only save its gun."

…

In Fnatic's voice, KRIMZ asked in confusion: "What's going on with you? Why did all the A points drop out?"

KRIMZ was a little anxious, and the tone of this wave of questions was also serious.

Twist was the first to answer: "We also want to ask, didn't you say that there is no timing for the arch and VIP? Why did the police come?"

"This time we were holding our guns, but the Nice ones that came up from behind were all shot down. We didn't even have a chance to shoot."

KRIMZ said: "I have been looking at the area on the B2 floor. It cannot be the timing that I missed here."

Baolan also shouted: "I've been watching the VIP part too, he can't have time to go there."

There was an instant quarrel in the team. Everyone didn't understand where the problem was, and no one thought it was their own problem.

In the end, xizt stopped the argument, and everyone fell silent.

The saved Famas did not create any miracles for them. The impact of being forced to come back by Little Bee was too great, and the economy basically collapsed.

But after that wave of quarrels, the tension they held on seemed to dissipate.

In the follow-up score, in most rounds, they basically defended frontally to withstand a wave. If they exchanged numbers to gain an advantage, the others would return to defend and fight.

If you can't get the numerical advantage, you just start protecting your guns.

However, those who gained the numerical advantage only had a few rounds.

And after the winning streak, Little Bee also completed its economic operations.

The score was stretched all the way to 15:10, and the Little Bees took the lead in getting the match point.

Fnatic fans watched expectantly in the audience, hoping that they could explode at the match point and create a comeback situation that would lead to a continuous pursuit of points into overtime.

But Little Bee just carried out a simple wave of explosive bombs in area A. Xu Beifang's frontal breakthrough, coupled with JackZ's supplementary shot, directly disintegrated their defense.

KRIMZ and xizt tried a wave in this endgame, but eventually fell to the guns of Zaiwu.

In this Desert City chosen by Fnatic, the score is fixed at 16:10.

Little Bee also defeated Fnatic with a big score of 2-0 and successfully advanced to the finals of IEM Sydney!

…

Double monthly pass after 12 o'clock~
