Chapter 447 8. NIKO: “Brother, I’ll throw you a flash and my youth will come back!”

The format of the IEM Chengdu station group stage is relatively simple.

The entire group stage adopts a double-elimination elimination format. Except for the first round, which adopts a BO1 format, the remaining rounds are BO3 confrontations.

The winner of each group will advance to the semi-finals, while the second and third place will advance to the quarter-finals.

After knowing the opponents in the group stage, the COL team can prepare appropriately.

The first round format is a BO1 confrontation, so they only need to consider the final game map.

Several people in the team are working hard to prepare for the upcoming IEM Chengdu debut.

Although the auditions have been officially held several times, the intensity of the opponents in the auditions is still a bit uninteresting, making it difficult for them to stay motivated.

As for the next map he played with Faze in BO1, Xu Beifang focused more on the town of Purgatory.

After entering CS2, Faze has always been one of the top teams in the town. The "Middle Faze Smoke" developed by ropz to block the bandits' vision has led a wave of trends.

During the CSGO era, Xu Beifang was the best at it, and the map he played best on was Purgatory Town.

If they don't ban the town, there is no reason for Faze to take the initiative to ban the town.

After all, this is not a Major final, and the big cousin will not pull out a map that Faze is not very good at.

Xu Beifang watched Faze's recent game videos several times and left a general impression in his mind. He also made several counter-attacking strategies. At this point, the pre-game preparations are basically completed.

Then you need to wait for the game to actually start.

In the afternoon of the day of the group stage, after sorting out everything in the hotel, the group went to the offline venue of IEM Chengdu Station in advance to prepare for the game in advance.

"You haven't played a game in a few years? Do you feel a little complicated now?" JKS asked Xu Beifang in a low voice in the car.

Xu Beifang smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a little nervous. It's been a long time since I competed offline."

NIKO was holding up his mobile phone to take pictures of the scenery of Chengdu. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "It's rare. Are you still nervous?"

"But don't worry. Later in the game, my buddy will throw you a few good flashes and let you do a few waves, and you will feel like your youth is back!"

NIKO laughed to himself as he spoke, then turned to Danking and asked: "Dan, by the way, are there giant pandas that you can see in this city?"

NIKO is in a particularly warm mood today.

A few people chatted in the car and soon arrived at the offline venue.

Only then did they realize that Xu Beifang was right to reserve extra time because there were too many fans waiting at the entrance of the venue!

You must know that there are no spectators in the group stage, and everyone is watching the game online. But for Xu Beifang's first game back in the real sense, many of them came to cheer.

The moment Xu Beifei got off the car, the crowd burst into excited cheers.

"oh!!"

"Nice I love you!!"

"Come on Mr. Ni!!"

"Anchor Wa must work hard!"

This familiar scene made Xu Beifang feel a little emotional. Around 20 years ago, there would always be such a scene.

It's just that this scene has not appeared in his life for a long time.

But thinking about it, I will see it from time to time in the days to come.

So he raised his hand and said hello to the crowd.

But the raised hand quickly paused, because he saw a fan, wearing a Little Bees uniform, with an A4 paper hanging on his face. On the A4 paper was Xu Beifang's face.

This guy directly cosplayed the former Xu Beifang.

So Xu Beifang shouted in surprise: "You are Nice, then who am I?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Then Xu Beifang waved to them, "We are going to prepare for the game, bye!"

"come on! Come on!"

"I'm going to become a shipbreaker today!"

"The most uncomfortable episode for prickly heat fans."

Amid everyone's interesting remarks, Xu Beifang led his teammates into a venue that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

In the 6657 live broadcast room.

Playing Machine is popularizing the player Xu Beifang with new audiences.

Then he saw the live broadcast of IEM appear, and he quickly cut it back to avoid being ridiculed by everyone again, "6657 does not have a pistol round".

"It's about to begin!" Playing Machine rubbed his hands in anticipation, "Look at this COL. Now Bei Bei is sitting alone in the middle. As long as the teammates on both sides don't play well, he will take action!"

"With his muscular condition, he can do a 1V4 solo without any pressure!"

"Who does the anchor support in this game? Friends, please don't take the lead. 6657 is a neutral commentator and will watch the game quite 'objectively'."

"Okay, without further ado, let's take a look at the BP situation in today's game."

"Faze banned the map first. They banned Mansion and Anubis. It was a reasonable choice. These two maps are the maps they are least good at. Facing a team like COL that reorganized in the offseason, it is very important to ban their own maps. It’s quite reasonable to eliminate the weak points.”

Play the machine and continue to see the selection of COL.

COL directly removed the Ancient Ruins and the Death Amusement Park, so the only maps left were Nuclear Crisis, Purgatory Town, and Desert City.

Faze's level on these three maps is actually good, but the ideas of both commanders have come together.

Faze removed Desert City, COL removed Nuclear Crisis, and finally left a Purgatory Town.

"This is interesting." Playing the machine raised his eyebrows, "Everyone knows Faze's town, and its strength is quite good. On the COL side, Nice was once the world's No. 1 Banana Road. No one could beat him in the Banana Road during the CSGO period. NIKO's Banana Road is also unique, otherwise the Banana Road would not be called Shrimp Road later."

"However, now the entire town has been reset and the overall look has changed a lot. Whether their understanding can still play a role may still be debatable."

At this moment, Playing the machine suddenly heard a passionate shout from the live broadcast room: "Nice, Let's go!!"

Then, they witnessed a very loving scene.

After the cousin started the atmosphere by shouting, the members of Faze all waved in the direction of COL, saying hello to this old rival they hadn't played against for a long time.

The director's camera was on Xu Beifang, who also smiled and gave them a thumbs up.

[These are the old CSGO guys, so interesting]

[The cousin cheered for the other side haha]

[It's like a group of old friends got together to fight a civil war haha]

[This scene is so funny]

[Speaking of which, the relationship between these 10 people is really complicated. NIKO has been in Faze and is a teammate with several people in Faze now. The new Han Wang on the Faze side is considered half a student of Beifang, and Faze almost bought Nice many times. JKS has also been a firefighter in Faze]

[Tears in my eyes, this is the relationship between men]

Amidst the laughter, the ten players on both sides sent emoticons on the public screen to interact.

Soon the warm-up time passed and the game officially began.

The BO1 match was carried out under the system of choosing sides by fighting, and the two sides had a close fight.

But in the end, the cousin with a butt plug was unable to beat the cunning NIKO, and COL won the fight.

Xu Beifang naturally chose to start the game on the defensive side.

COL vs. Faze

Map: Purgatory Town

T: Karrgian, rain, frozen, Broky, ropz

CT: Nice, NIKO, Elige, Danking, JKS

The game officially begins!

"Brothers, let's get excited, brothers, as long as we win this game, let Danking treat us to a big meal!" Xu Beifang made a simple opening speech, which led to the cheers of his teammates.

As for the wailing of the pink goblin, no one cared.

After livening up the atmosphere, Xu Beifang began to lay out for this point.

"Let's have a formation that is more inclined to A for this point. NIKO, can you do reconnaissance alone in area B?" Xu Beifang asked NIKO's idea.

On the map of Purgatory Town, which has a special structure, he and NIKO are mainly responsible for the defense of Area B.

Let NIKO play in Area B instead of him, mainly because he needs to sense the information of Area A to play the game of returning to defense.

"No problem!" NIKO smiled heartily, "Just give me the arrangement, don't be too stressed."

He has been a commander, so he knows that if he resists, it will be difficult for Xu Beifang to command.

"Then it's 4A1B, NIKO, you play reconnaissance in Area B, and I will rush back here if there is any situation. I have two flashes and a thunder claw. If you are under pressure, just tell me, I can flash."

The countdown ended, and everyone set off.

Danking, as the first position, rushed directly to the middle road, then jumped over A1 and scouted the information of the bandit.

"The two went to the banana road, NIKO, pay attention."

Xu Beifang went through the information in his head, "Brother Ji, come back with me directly, Dan and JKS, you can put the link to defend the second floor to fight."

He quickly made a mid-term decision.

Playing the machine did not miss the pistol round. When he saw the countdown end, he quickly explained:

"As the attacker, Faze played the pistol round a little exaggeratedly. They equipped 3 sets of props, and seemed to be preparing to play a group B zone bomb, but NIKO was not in a hurry on the banana road. He ran away after hearing the information."

"The two guys linked at point A also came to reinforce the defense directly." Playing the machine raised his eyebrows, "This Beifang's decision-making instructions are so fast!"

He noticed the changes in the CT formation.

Originally, 4A was standing at the front point, but after realizing that the pressure in the B zone was great, after letting go of the link, Danking and JKS did not covet the control of the middle road. The two of them were stuck on the A2 building and the balcony. It was a strategy to protect the second floor.

It was played very rationally.

"Faze took some time to attack and search for the point. They did not push in directly, which gave CT time to return to 3B. However, Beifang did not stick to the bomb site, but grabbed the props in the corridor."

"This is a counter-clear, but Faze is also exploding directly from the front. Now it depends on whether Beifang's two flash bombs are in vain!"

Xu Beifang quietly grabbed a flash bomb under the stage. He had quickly communicated with NIKO.

As long as NIKO felt that the opponent was ready to speed up, NIKO would immediately block the smoke, and then he would flash over, sending Elige in the police house and NIKO next to the box to double pull and hit the enemy who wanted to force the smoke.

NIKO was shaking nervously in the box, and then heard the sound of three people jumping at the same time. He immediately handed over the smoke bomb in his hand and shouted: "Flash!"

Xu Beifang flicked out two flash bombs in a row.

Elige was very experienced. He did not wait for Xu Beifang's flash bomb to explode. Instead, after hearing NIKO's shout, he immediately peeked out of the police house and fired a pre-emptive shot.

This pre-emptive shot did not allow him to hit anyone, but it attracted the attention of the Rain God.

Originally, Yu Shen saw the trajectory of the smoke bomb and planned to come directly to capture the CT behind the box. But when he saw someone in the police house, he was forced to divert his attention to the police house.

Although NIKO countered the smoke bomb, Yu Shen still rushed in without hesitation.

They had practiced this set of tactics in the pistol round.

Three sets of props poured down, which could help them share most of the pressure of the gun, but now the props have been given out. If they don’t dare to rush out, they won’t be able to continue fighting later.

So they can only jump out of the smoke.

The other people behind him had the same idea.

Besides, Yu Shen, who was in the first position, jumped out to help them with the gun, so they must follow him out to make up.

Then, they seemed to see Tiga.

"Faze chose to rush to the end, but he couldn't kill anyone even if he had no eyes! Beifang's flashbang was very useless, and NIKO and Elige did not disappoint his flashbang effect. One, two! All the people rushing into the smoke were killed!!"

"COL's timing of this wave of anti-clearing was perfect!!"

After Xu Beifang fired two flashbangs, he saw a wave in the upper right corner that started to refresh the screen.

[NIKO+Nice flashbang used USP to headshot and kill rain]

[Elige+Nice flashbang used USP to headshot and kill Broky]

[Elige+Nice flashbang used USP to kill karrgian]

[Elige+Nice flashbang used USP to headshot and kill Frozen]

"Good guns!!" Danking shouted in the voice, "Beautiful brothers, you played so well!!"

They only refreshed some WeChat steps in this wave of A point, so as an atmosphere group, the emotional value must be given in place.

Ropz, who was left behind, saw that his teammates had been killed, so he could only try to mix in the smoke.

But Elige was setting up a smoke screen, and he was eventually killed by the opponent after he got out of the smoke.

"Quadruple kill in the pistol round, brother, you are a bit abnormal!" Danking was directly possessed by the spirit of drama, "You will make the opponent lose confidence!"

The others were also very happy, Danking was really good as the atmosphere group in the team.

Elige smiled happily, "It must be the captain's flash that was thrown well, the timing was great, the opponent never opened his eyes from beginning to end."

Xu Beifang also teased: "NIKO, don't worry, I will find another opportunity to throw it to you later, so that you can also get a quadruple kill."

"Come on." NIKO rolled his eyes.

Xu Beifang did not chat all the time, and quickly issued the early arrangements for the second point: "Brother Ji, let's start with the spear. NIKO and I will go to control the banana road with full armor, MP9 and props. They didn't plant the bomb, and only have 2,000 yuan of economy, so we still have to be careful. NIKO and I will control the banana road first, and then I will make up for A."

After the town map was reset, it became easier for CT to control the banana road.

But in this small map, the probability of ANTI-ECO being overturned has become higher, and the number of rounds has become shorter, making the game of each round more important, because the overall tolerance has become lower.

Xu Beifang and NIKO still easily controlled the banana road. He left the extra props at the police house and let NIKO jump on the stone slab to investigate, and then he returned to the A area for a wave of heavy defense.

"No bomb was planted, but Faze actually fought hard, very brave." The player briefly explained the configuration of this point, "Faze didn't want to compete with the opponent for the banana road with this configuration, and Beifang also expected this. He made a basic control on the banana road and let NIKO play alone, and the formation became a 4A heavy defense."

"Beifang's movements were ridiculously fast. In the second time, he even came to the groove near the middle road. He was a full-armor MP9 at this point, and this position was a good exchange area."

"Faze gave a link smoke in the second time and wanted to attack the middle road."

"But Elige also immediately countered a smoke in the middle road, but Faze didn't seem to stop."

The player's tone was a little worried, because Faze gave the link smoke, so he was the only one in the middle road area for the time being, and Elige could only shoot through to help him.

If he doesn't hit any of them, or only knocks out one, this wave will be a big loss.

The eldest cousin might have thought that NIKO was the only one at point B, so he turned back and speeded up B.

"This wave depends on how the North operates."

Xu Beifang held the MP9 and listened to the undisguised footsteps of the opponent's middle lane. He knew that this wave of Faze clearing the middle lane was almost a clear sign.

But fortunately, his position was not obvious, and Elige provided smoke bombs and grenades in the link, which attracted some attention to him.

He quietly collected information, and then immediately turned his head when he heard the sound of the prop being released.

"Bang~"

After the flash grenade exploded, Xu Beifei turned his head directly, and a bandit rushed out of the smoke grenade that spread in the middle.

He fired directly.

[Nice used MP9 to kill karrigan with a headshot]

At the same time, the thunder bag also fell in the middle of the road.

This scene also made Xu Beifang realize that the opponent was not trying to test or simply clear the middle, but was planning to speed up and make the final decision.

That means that someone must have come out of the boiler room at the same time.

So Xu Beifang directly launched the biggest bonus of CS2 - running and fighting.

He was thinking about the door of the boiler room, holding the MP9 and running to the left.

Broky, who came out of the boiler room, thought he was very mysterious. He wanted to feel the edge of the smoke bomb to slowly get the information, and use Tec-9 to kill Xu Beifang.

Unexpectedly, Xu Beifang fired a wave of shots in advance, and he was shocked by the "ding-ding" of the two gun heads.

After knocking out Broky with one shot, Xu Beifang also ran out of bullets. He did not panic and retreat into the link smoke. Instead, he reversed his thinking and touched the smoke in the opposite direction and got into the middle smoke.

Sure enough, the moment he quietly slipped into the smoke in the middle of the road, he heard two footsteps heading towards the middle of the road.

Elige, who was in the link, saw Xu Beifang's position, and he understood and found a way to fire at an angle to help seduce.

Danking, who was at the package point, did not rush out to replenish his gun. Instead, he said: "I have an A1 that dodges. Beifang, don't look at the A1."

After that, Danking took action directly with the flashbang.

Xu Beifang glanced at his flash popper hand from the corner of his eye, immediately looked in the direction of the link, and got out of the smoke bomb.

Rain God and King Han emerged from the smoke in the middle to replenish their guns, but found that Xu Beifei had disappeared. They immediately used Tec-9 to quickly click on the link, but they did not see anyone.

"It's so fast..." King Han complained.

But the next second, a bullet came from behind.

"boom!"

【Nice uses MPzen】

Only then did Yu Shen realize that Xu Beifang was not replying to the link, but was waiting for an opportunity.

He immediately turned his head, but he was hit by a flash bomb, so he could only shoot with white eyes.

But in the end he couldn't escape death.

"The members of Faze came one after another to try to replenish their guns, but Nice's experience was much better than they imagined. A wave of reverse smoke came directly behind them!"

"Oh!! In this wave, he is holding an MP9 and roaming the middle lane!!"

"I already got a quadruple kill this round. Is there a five-kill?"

"The last ID left is ropz. Knowing that he is playing on the second floor, Beifang rushed directly to the second floor to search. Can ropz beat him? He has never beaten him before! ANTI-ECO directly killed five of them!"

I laughed while playing with the machine: "This one really makes the North feel happy. It is the episode that Da Zhuang envies the most. But this one is actually a semi-a economic bureau. Faze has Tec-9 to use, and its gold content is still A lot of."

The director gave a wonderful replay of the kill, and the player watched the tasting and said: "This point can't even be considered aiming. It's just the experience of this old guy. You see, he completely guessed what the opponent wanted to do. It can only be said that even if this guy has an MP9, he can play a vital role. "

"People can't help but sigh, it is indeed a step forward in the CSGO era!"

Playing with the machine was extremely exciting in the live broadcast room, but Faze and the others who were serving as the background laughed.

Rain God scratched his head, "I thought that after a few years of rest, this guy's level would drop a lot, but it turns out it's still so difficult."

Nice guy is like this, his presence in the game is ridiculously high.

Even though he wasn't facing off on the frontal battlefield in the previous point, his flash bomb also affected the situation.

This time, one person was able to kill them all.

You must know that they also have half-armor TecP9, and the gap is actually not very big.

But that's it, Nice ended the fight for them.

They didn't even have a chance to fire.

A young man like Donk who relies on reaction and aiming is really disgusting when it comes to shooting guns.

But Nice guy is very experienced and has too many weird tricks.

This guy's reflexes and aim are also top notch.

This point and his head-on beating made them seem to be back to the time in 2019 and 2020.

At that time, whenever they faced Xu Beifang, they felt like they were sweating profusely.

In the hearts of these veterans, Nice is the opponent they want to fight the most and the opponent they least want to fight.

Now it is a pleasure to play against old opponents again, but when we really enter the game, everyone is very serious and will try every means to get points and win this game.

"After all, this is the rifleman version, this guy must be more difficult to deal with." The cousin comforted, "In fact, I have expected it, but this guy has transformed into a commander, and his shooting skills will definitely be affected. The influence may not be as strong as in the previous version, but it can still be handled."

"Wait for the next rifle game..."
