CSGO: This player is too obedient!

Chapter 450 11. Nice rides NIKO, invincible!

Xu Beifang slowly woke up from his sleep. Perhaps because he was back on the field, his sleep quality was surprisingly good yesterday.

In fact, it was normal. After all, this team was pulled out by him. Although the lineup is very strong, after all, they have never played against top teams and don’t know what level they are at this stage.

Yesterday, they successfully defeated Faze in Purgatory Town. Although it was due to the fact that the opponent did not understand their playing style, they won after all.

Moreover, in this confrontation, the entire team was operating according to his ideas. It can be said that the fight was very smooth all the way.

The players in the team did not have too many ideas to argue with him, and the instructions he issued could be quickly in place.

In terms of personal ability, although NIKO did not kill many people, Banana Road and him cooperated very well. The two outstanding Banana Road players understood each other’s ideas very well and could often play tacit cooperation.

On the A point, the bald chicken brother is really powerful. In the middle of the round, he can often withstand the pressure of the opponent’s single touch and can exert stable power in the middle.

As a sniper, Danking was also very proactive in looking for kills. Although he still lacked some experience in some decision-making and position selection, he would be very useful as long as he could adapt in the future.

JKS didn't see anything in this confrontation. After all, the frontal play was quite smooth, and he didn't need to transform the free man into the god of responsibility. However, he also had many bright spots in the advantageous game.

Overall, there were no particularly serious problems.

"It's just that my personal position selection and playing style need to be adjusted. They are a bit too conservative." Xu Beifang thought.

After the transformation into a commander, he is still adapting to the changes between the two roles and needs some adjustments.

This is not a big problem. After all, it is a newly formed team, and it must be constantly confronted and adjusted.

A strong team grows in fierce confrontation.

Although they won the game yesterday, Xu Beifang still saw many shortcomings.

After thinking about this information in his mind, he got up, put on his equipment, went downstairs and ran around the hotel in the morning to wake up this beautiful day.

After jogging for 40 minutes, he returned to the hotel. While waiting for the sweat on his body to dry, he took out his mobile phone to check the recent community trends.

You don’t know until you look at it. You can find some important news.

For example, the holiday agency suddenly released a dynamic announcement in the early hours of today.

The dynamic generally means that a certain bug has been fixed, and then the death amusement park will be withdrawn from the service map pool in the next event. Considering that they have not yet decided which map to add, they announced that the classic old map ‘dust2’ will return for a limited time.

This is a heavy news, which has a huge impact on the entire first-line profession.

So during breakfast time, Xu Beifang mentioned this to his teammates.

“Is Sha Er returning?” JKS frowned, “I thought it would be a new map.”

For the holiday agency to make adjustments, they, the active professional brothers, also have a feeling in their hearts.

After all, the activeness on the field not only depends on the players to develop new tactics and skills, but also depends on the holiday agency to adjust the map, withdraw those maps that have been developed, and put some new maps.

CS2 has been around for a while, and several new maps have been updated. JKS thought that the resort would come up with some new tricks.

Danking was eating noodles nearby, and when he heard this, he asked, "Will Sha2 suddenly appear in IEM Chengdu this time?"

The coach who was tasting steamed buns was speechless, "Of course not, otherwise those teams who are good at amusement park would protest."

Sha2 was pulled into the service map this time, and amusement park was also moved down. If the competition rules take effect immediately, many teams will be upset.

So generally, such changes in competition rules will not affect the competition that has already been officially started.

"I remember it too, I'm afraid I remembered it wrong." Danking laughed again, "But it doesn't matter, we are all Sha2 masters in this room! This wave will take off directly!!"

Hearing Tiedan say this, the other people in the room also smiled unconsciously.

Sha2 is a relatively pure gun-fighting map, and there are not many other things in their team, just a lot of gun men.

Although the requirements for command in a stalemate are relatively high, yesterday's game also made them understand that Xu Beifang's command is trustworthy.

In this way, even if Sha Er appears, it will be a good thing for them.

Even with just a little training, Sha Er may be able to be used.

"Of course, this will definitely be a disadvantage for us." Xu Beifang still saw the key to the problem, "Because we now have to train the old version of things, and we also have to spend some time preparing for Sha Er."

During the schedule, this is unavoidable.

They can also choose not to train Sha Er at all in this IEM Chengdu, but other teams have trained for half a month in advance, and they must be ahead of them in terms of proficiency.

Elige has finished breakfast and is now in a state of contemplation, "And there are several teams that will become very strong because of the appearance of Sha Er, such as Big..."

In the scope of professions, Sha Er and Big are almost bound to two maps. Although everyone later found out that Big's Sha Er only has a few things, Big Sha Er has a unique skill after all, and his level is still very high.

In today's top teams, Green Dragon's Sha Er also has something to offer. The confrontation between Green Dragon and Faze during the CSGO era has always been a classic game.

"What are you afraid of!" Danking finally finished his breakfast and looked at Xu Beifang and said confidently, "The others are just Sha Er's unique skills. We have Sha Er's top god king here!"

"Several Sha Er's record holders are still in our team."

A group of people also suddenly reacted, yes.

Compared to those unique talents, their current captain is a heavyweight.

On the map Sha Er, Xu Beifang developed several abnormal props and performed countless dazzling operations.

Sha Er's current half-court kills, full-court kills, and even the map rating holder are all due to the guy next to them.

In terms of the biggest beneficiaries of Sha Er's return, it seems that they are really the ones.

When they thought of this, they all felt better.

"I'm actually not worried about Sha Er's return." NIKO frowned and said with a serious face, "I was just thinking, if an amusement park special skills team like GL knows that the amusement park is gone, shouldn't they retire on the spot? "

Although what NIKO said is quite outrageous, the description of "retiring on the spot" is still a bit too appropriate, and it is a bit difficult to tell the truth.

"It's just a pity." NIKO felt resentful again.

Xu Beifang gave him a puzzled look.

"It's really good that Sha Er is back, but why not the forklift?" NIKO started wailing directly.

For this former forklift king, he really wanted to make progress in forklifts.

NIKO's two most eye-catching highlights were two inhuman pentakills using the Sand Eagle on a forklift.

On the Forklift map, he felt like he could really carry at will.

"Forklift has little chance of returning." Xu Beifang interrupted NIKO's delusion, "The maker of the forklift map does not accept the resort club's buyout. In other words, as long as a forklift appears once in the game, the resort club needs to pay the forklift author. One time money, who can bear this?”

NIKO shrugged: "People always have some regrets."

He actually had psychological expectations that the forklift would not be able to return, but regret is like that, it always makes people look forward to it.

It's like he has failed many times in the Major, but he always looks forward to being able to show his worth and style in the next Major.

"Everyone has eaten. It's almost time to start today's training." Coach T.C reminded.

Everyone also started today's training routine one after another.

For European teams, the morning training is actually similar. Most of them are individual basic exercises to maintain the basic condition for the day.

In the afternoon, training matches are scheduled, but as they enter the schedule, they don't need training matches and can just go to the venue to compete.

The morning warm-up training was over. While waiting for lunch, Xu Beifang was leaning on the sofa and scrolling through his mobile phone.

The first day of the IEM Chengdu Station officially ended. As the first offline event of Xu Beifang's return, a large number of people watched.

The recording of Playing Machine posted on Xiaopo Station had already been viewed 20,000 times in just one day.

There are a lot of people down there making a living.

[I discovered that everything may be destined. You see, the core of COL now is that destiny belongs to niCe, nikO, and eLige]

[Don’t be too outrageous, I can only say that the town is really awesome today, but it’s not to that level yet]

[The evil doctor NIKO tried to create the perfect conductor, and finally he found Nice! 】

[All I can say is that Beishen is so commanding! 】

[Beishen is really the only true god. In the GO era, he used force to suppress the world. Now in the CS2 era, can he evolve into a strategy to suppress these old opponents? 】

In addition to boasting, many players are discussing the level of COL exposed in this first confrontation.

The first thing that made their eyes shine was definitely Xu Beifang's performance after his return.

The return of former star players does not mean that their performance will be good.

S1mple, who temporarily retreated to run an e-sports class, demonstrated this to everyone. He was purchased by the Petroleum Team and used as a firefighter, but the final results can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Many viewers who expected S1mple to perform explosively were still a little disappointed.

But Xu Beifang returned this time, and at least in this game against Faze, his statistics were quite good.

In terms of aiming, although it is not as scary as before, it feels more like a return to nature. Now he plays smarter. He should get the kills, but he just can't empty the gun.

And because of the issue of transformation of command, it has also caused a lot of discussion.

[Here comes an understanding brother, can Nice’s transformation into a commanding officer be successful? 】

[After watching the first day of the game, I personally tend to think that he has succeeded. Nice was a commander in the Little Bees before, but at that time he was more of a supporter of the apEX commander to complete the command. But you have all seen what the apEX commander has become in the following years.]

[Indeed, Doudou's commander only has the advantage of occasionally being strong, but the gunmanship is already the basis for Beifang. In today's game against Faze, the mid-term decision directly defeated Faze, which is a bit scary.]

Even the player playing the machine couldn't help but say: [Now, Nice's commander level is really good. You have to know that the best point of the big cousin's commander is the mid-term decision, but he was defeated by Beifang in the strongest place. Even if it was just one game, it fully proved that Beifang has the potential to become a commander.]

Later, he added: [But Beifang has no psychological burden. Even if he fails to transform, just playing his original set is enough to be eye-catching.]

Xu Beifang glanced at the time and replied at 4 o'clock this morning.

Have you ever seen the broken station at 4 o'clock in the morning?

Well, I have seen pig heads before.

Maybe I was a little excited when I was playing with the machine last night, so I started interacting directly in the comment area.

A netizen asked below [Play Shenrui, comment on this lineup of COL, is it a scam or a space battleship? ]

Playing with the machine answered: [I personally think it is a space battleship. After all, in the first offline game of COL, Beifang turned into a shipbreaker and tore Faze apart. And you need to know that COL is still in a running-in period. Whether it is Beifang's command or other members, they are in the adaptation stage. At this stage, they can already beat Faze. How terrifying will it be when they really enter the honeymoon period?]

[When Beifang debuted, everyone always liked to call him Lu Bu. Now, Beifang has the potential to be the world's first-class gun command. With NIKO's breakthrough, it also forms Lu Bu riding Dian Wei, invincible in the world! ]

There is also a photo of Lu Bu riding a horse below, but the netizen who commented photoshopped Xu Beifang and NIKO's headshots on Lu Bu and the horse's head respectively, which made people laugh.

[It's hard for him! 】

The comments that followed quickly went off topic.

Xu Beifang couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

However, he didn't particularly care about the comments of netizens.

Especially for the title of the world's number one commander, he didn't have any psychological fluctuations.

He wanted to become the commander of this team just because he was more suitable. He didn't have any dream of commanding. It was just that it would be easier to win the game if he called the commands and tactics himself.

However, he was still quite happy with the praise from netizens.

But he didn't think that he was really the "world's number one gun commander".

Just like he thought when he woke up this morning and reviewed the game, he felt that his command was still not flexible enough, and the playing style of each person in the lineup needed to be adjusted.

After all, they are a professional team, not just five players getting together to play a game.

When playing against Faze, he focused more on mid-term decision-making, and ignored his personal strengths - the first kill design in the early stage.

And he didn't arrange his position well.

Before, he considered that as a commander, he couldn't consume too many resources, otherwise the other people in the team might have a hard time.

But thinking carefully, he was not a resource-hungry person. It was just that when he was in Little Bee, he needed him to consume resources to perform miracles.

In other words, on the defensive end, he could actually put his position further forward, try to deal more damage in the early stage, and then let others take over the endgame.

He switched to the 5E mobile app and looked at the battle situation of other teams in the first round yesterday in the software.

First, the battle situation of the two domestic teams. LVG played against Black Panther on the first day, and the final map was Ancient Ruins.

In the end, it still died on the old problem of domestic teams - details!

In the high-intensity confrontation, LVG's details were squeezed and deformed, and people always died inexplicably when attacking.

After the game appeared, the formation of the entire team would instantly be messed up.

Next is the Tianlu side. The opponent Tianlu encountered on the first day was Mouz, led by the new generation commander siuhy.

I thought Tianlu would die silently in this game, but unexpectedly, Tianlu played well.

They once played the score to 11:11, but unfortunately, they didn't hold on for a long time and finally lost the game.

Xu Beifang was quite surprised, so he took the initiative to find the game recording of that game and watched it on the computer.

When he watched half of the game, he heard Danking shouting speechlessly: "259 this..."

"This..."

Danking was stuck in his complaints because he was completely confused. He was also idle and had nothing to watch. Seeing Xu Beifang watching Tianlu's game here, he was so tired of chasing a few points that Tianlu's soul was exhausted.

But in the key round, 259 didn't kill anyone with a side-shot.

It was really hard for him to understand that the person sitting in front of the screen was a professional player.

Then, in the last round, he saw 259 at the close point of the long barrel, and when his teammates first crippled the bandits, he pulled out a shot but failed to make up.

"259 should really practice shooting, this shooting skill is not even as good as my cousin." Danking has put on the mask of pain.

Whether it is him or Xu Beifang, they always have a glimmer of hope for Tianlu, after all, they also watched Tianlu achieve some results in the past.

Unexpectedly, these hopes gradually turned into despair.

To be honest, Mouz is a team that can enter the quarterfinals of the Major with a 3-0 victory.

Tianlu can play like this with Mouz, which is not bad, and it can even be regarded as a glorious defeat.

But it is always a little short, which makes people feel very disgusted.

It's like your strength can enter the finals of major competitions, but you are always a little short of winning the championship in every final.

The result of the runner-up is already good enough, but you will always be unwilling.

"This scene has given me some PTSD." Tiedan complained, "When I was in Tianlu, it was always like this."

He has not returned to Tianlu, partly because of this.

When he was in Tianlu, he always had some hope and a chance to make some upsets in every offline event by relying on his own performance.

But it is often just a little short.

Xu Beifang smiled: "So you can't slack off in normal training, even if it is just to make you hit one more kill. Normal training always feels about the same, but it is always a little short when it comes to the key."

Danking was stunned for a moment, and soon laughed again: "Why do you want to be Yang Jian again? Sure enough, the old TV series are still interesting."

He changed the subject, but Xu Beifang understood that Danking had listened.

He continued to watch the battles of other teams. After Tianlu and LVG lost in the first round, they happened to meet in the second round.

And perhaps because Mouz had defeated their spirit, Tianlu played very badly in this wave of internal wars in their own division, and LVG finally won.

In the first round, C9 met the Australian team Flyquest, which was the previous Greyhound lineup.

Everyone thought that C9 could easily win, but unexpectedly, there was a big upset. C9 was beaten by the Australian team on the map of Ancient Ruins.

Then there are the other two veteran teams in Group B, Astralis.

To be honest, if Xu Beifang played against Team A, he would not feel any pressure.

This team has just been reorganized.

Stavn and Jabbi, the snake-rat brothers, joined.

The team that could really put pressure on him has now been scattered in various teams.

The members of Astralis in their peak period, like their system, quietly melted into the CS circle.

Now only device is in this team, and he has also transformed into a commander in this game.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of this Team A is not weak.

Although the Snake-Rat brothers have a bad reputation, they are indeed strong, otherwise Team A would not have thought of digging them over during the offseason.

Including the human limit device, Team A has a total of three TOP-level players, which is still quite high.

But if the strength on paper is compared, COL is only strong now.

...

Unfortunately, in the second round of the group stage, COL did not play against Team A, but the opponent they least wanted to meet - VP.

Xu Beifang still knows VP very well. After all, Jame's playing style is quite interesting. Questioning Jame, understanding Jame, becoming...

No, no one can become Jame now.

Jame's playing style is quite special. The lower limit of this team can be said to be one of the highest teams in the first-tier team.

And Jame has also proved with strength that his playing style is feasible even in Major.

But since we are facing each other, we will try our best to play every round well and try to win from VP.

Starting from the second round, the BP of the group stage has become a BO3 format.

After three rounds of BP, the final game map is fixed on the Death Amusement Park, Purgatory Town, and Death Building.

Death Amusement Park is one of VP's specialty maps. Logically, they don't want to release it, but COL's map pool is not rich enough at this stage, and Anubis is banned by default.

So Death Amusement Park was forced to be released.

However, from the moment they entered the amusement park, they felt the gap in proficiency with VP on this map. VP can always get kills by supplementing or selecting positions, and they will have fewer people as they fight.

Although the two sides have been fighting back and forth in the early stage with their strong endgame ability, the gap gradually emerged as the battle line lengthened.

Especially after entering the second half, the failure to win the pistol round had a huge impact. They had no room for error at all. They worked hard to get two points later, but were still pushed by a wave later.

The score of Figure 1 was fixed at 8:13.

After entering the town, the situation was reversed directly. On this map, COL played relatively comfortably.

Xu Beifang also completely released himself. He often cooperated with NIKO and two people to directly blow up a point, and the others came to plant the bomb. VP was also straightforward. Many times, when they saw an area was cleared, they didn't even think about returning to defense and started to protect their guns directly.

But too many times of protecting guns brought about fault tolerance, but fault tolerance without scoring was meaningless.

In the final map of Purgatory Town, Xu Beifang and NIKO cut 50 kills together.

The score was locked at 13:7.

Then the game entered the Death Building, which many viewers hated.

The attack and defense of the Death Building map was relatively boring, and VP's game was also relatively boring. These two BUFFs were put together, which was a bit torturous.

But on this map that decided the outcome, Jame and Fame of VP played crazily.

On the COL side, Xu Beifang was still killing crazily on this map, but because of VP's strong discipline, he didn't dare to play so arrogantly.

Fortunately, he had Elige as his solid backing, which made him less stressed.

But the problem was that NIKO did not perform well on this map. Under such high pressure, he was a little anxious and made mistakes many times.

As a sniper, Danking was not anxious at first, but the problem was that he lacked experience against top teams, and he suffered from experience many times.

Both of them performed worse, and some key rounds were not played well.

Even though Xu Beifang and Elige dragged the game into overtime, they still lost in the first overtime.

In the second round of IEM Chengdu, COL suffered the first defeat after forming their lineup.

They woke up from the ecstasy after the upset, understood the problem at this stage, and were forced to enter the loser group with a score of 1-1.

…
