CSGO: This player is too obedient!

No. 4 Let me see your strength!

Before the semi-finals started the next day, Xu Beifang noticed that NIKO looked at Danking with a rather resentful look, and it was obvious that he was still thinking about his first experience with Valorant last night.

Danking felt NIKO's eyes, turned around and spread his hands directly: "I didn't know you had such bad luck. You met such teammates in several games in a row yesterday."

When he played Valorant himself, he only occasionally matched with cheats. It was too rare to match with bad teammates or opponents in a row.

NIKO complained: "I feel that the environment of Valorant is still too impetuous. I feel that passers-by players have no patience, at least much less than CS players."

"I should know the reason." Xu Beifang's voice came over, and NIKO raised his eyebrows, "Tell me more."

Xu Beifang had no intention of keeping it a secret, and immediately explained his thoughts:

"Because Valorant has been out for a short time, and it is different from community games such as CS, apEX, and Rainbow Six. Valorant's promotion is very good, and there are too many FPS novices joining."

Brother Ji was also attracted by their topic and asked in confusion: "Are there any problems for novices? Aren't there many novices in CS now?"

He knew this. Since 2018 and 2019, the number of CS players has begun to grow explosively, and CS also has a lot of fresh blood. He thinks this should not be the reason for the different game environments of CS and Valorant.

Xu Beifang asked Elige a question: "Brother Ji, you are a veteran CS player. What was the CS environment like at the beginning?"

"At the beginning?" Elige fell into memories, "At the beginning, everyone played ten-person games on the LAN in the Internet cafe, and then slowly entered CSGO..."

Brother Ji was stunned for a moment: "It seems that every time a large number of new players pour in, the CSGO environment will become bad, but CSGO will soon adjust back."

"You hit the point." Xu Beifang smiled, "This is the difference between community games and non-community games. From professional players to major anchors, most CSGO players have emphasized communication and cooperation."

"In the community, some famous bloggers will always emphasize the importance of communication when helping ordinary players watch videos."

"For CS players, communication is already a part of the basic skills."

Xu Beifang was originally a professional brother who started from scratch, so he felt this very deeply.

In Valorant, because many new players and many players who switched from other projects do not have the concept of communicating with microphones, or perhaps they do, but they do not subconsciously report points for communication like CS players do.

In CS games, out of 10 games, there may be 3-5 games that start in the middle stage, but there may be only 1 game that does not open the microphone to report points and communicate throughout the whole process.

The whole environment can have such a strong communication ability, many of which rely on the role that these professional players and bloggers who are extremely passionate about the game emphasize.

Even at their stage, communication has become a skill, and the amount of information needs to be kept as short and clear as possible.

If you still say "wow" after being defeated and then report points like you did in the past when playing ladder, you will definitely be taught a lesson by the coach after the game.

When Danking first arrived at COL, he was often trained in communication.

He remembers clearly that Leon Kai, who was teased as "only character except neck", basically emphasized the role of communication every time he explained the demo to the fans, but because of his unique accent, communication became "exchanging bulls", which has become a very interesting joke.

Most players in Valorant have not taken communication seriously.

Xu Beifang looked at NIKO and said, "You have to understand. After all, CS has been around for many years, and Valorant has only been out for a few years. It will take time for the game environment to change, and it will take people who love this game to slowly catalyze it."

NIKO also figured it out. This is indeed the case. When he was a minor, he played CS, and the environment was not as good as it is now.

For example, there are always people who don't know how to use props in the random games, and there are also people who don't open the microphone to communicate, or they just go out to fight with others at the beginning of the game.

But 19 years later, with the popularization of the systematic play style of Team A, everyone has noticed the importance of team CS, and with the reminders of various professional players and bloggers, the CS environment has gradually improved.

"Plus at that time yesterday." Xu Beifang smiled, "Even if you run over to play CS, the feeling may be similar."

The FPS game environment late at night can only be said to be understood by those who understand.

Don't have too many weird things.

"It seems that we will have to wait a long time to play this game properly." NIKO smiled helplessly, "It's quite interesting, but the current environment makes people feel uncomfortable."

JKS said: "When we have time, let's play in a five-row car, and we don't have to worry about teammates."

"That's true..."

Before NIKO finished speaking, he heard Danking change the subject: "By the way, NIKO, you are about to face your old club today, how do you feel now?"

Yesterday, when a group of them were experiencing Valorant for the first time, the first day of the IEM Chengdu elimination match was officially over.

They managed to eliminate Team A in the second half.

The confrontation in the first half is between Liquid and Faze clan.

After their confrontation ended yesterday, Diandi, who has played away games all over the world, finally welcomed his home court in Chengdu, and the whole audience cheered and cheered for him.

But the result was a pity after all. The Latvian Berserkers performed so poorly that they failed to advance to the next round.

Under the leadership of his big cousin, Faze defeated Liquid and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the next semi-finals, this Galaxy battleship will also collide head-on with its own youth training team Mouz.

Of course, calling it youth training is just a joke.

Today's Mouz is a youthful storm led by siuhy, the strongest commander of the new generation, and its combat effectiveness is quite good. If Faze and other veterans fail to grasp it well, the warship may return directly by accident.

However, at this stage, COL has no time to care about the confrontation in the first half, because their opponent in the second half is NIKO's old club, the best club in the world - G2!

As NIKO's old club, G2's current lineup is also full of familiar faces.

m0nesy, one of the best snipers in CS2, Hunter, NIKO’s cousin, nexa, nicknamed the God of Gamblers, hooxi, known as Zhuge’s Breath, and dupreeh, the second favorite player in the machine game.

The combat effectiveness of this group of players is also quite terrifying. Even COL will feel a lot of pressure against them.

Now that we have entered the semi-finals, the differences on paper have become very small.

No matter which team they are, they have a chance to compete for the championship. Once they get into the state, they must work hard to deal with it.

"Do you have the idea of ​​playing against G2?" NIKO scratched his eyebrows slightly, "I'm just a little emotional. The once close rivals have become rivals."

JKS smiled softly: "I would like to play with m0nesy and the others again, even as an opponent."

"Our feelings are still a little different." NIKO shook his head, "After all, I basically taught that kid m0nesy."

m0nesy is one of the most outstanding talents in the game today. His talent is there and everyone can clearly feel it.

However, m0nesy's talent is not that of the most outstanding players.

After he actually joined the first team, he did not easily get over the rookie wall like Xu Beifang, Zaiwu, and S1mple.

When he first started in G2, his data was very sluggish for several months.

At that time, NIKO helped him find and fill in the gaps, teaching m0nesy some in-depth methods of using the rifle, and some experience that could be used in competitions.

NIKO was training m0nesy as his successor.

But in the end, it was a pity that he didn't become famous with m0nesy.

"However, there is not much I can teach him anymore..." NIKO sighed softly.

Xu Beifang smiled heartily: "Then let's see what the child's current strength is!"

…

Entering the venue, the host was still extremely passionate, driving the audience in the venue to cheer for the players.

All ten players on the field enjoyed this moment very much.

"Now, there's just one simple question!" the host roared, "Are you ready?"

Then he raised the microphone in front of Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang was naturally extremely cooperative, "Meow, meow, meow, meow!"

This answer made many viewers at the scene feel confused. In the end, they could only say that they were infected by the DANKING virus.

The host raised the microphone to hooxi again. hooxi did not act like Xu Beifang, but just shouted "yes!" in cooperation.

“Both sides are ready, let’s wait and see!!”

The ten players from both sides began to walk towards the players' seats one after another.

NIKO was still happy because of the host's control of the field. After hearing the end, he hurriedly followed the big group behind.

Then the other nine contestants on stage were dumbfounded.

m0nesy looked at NIKO in confusion: "Brother! Why are you here?"

When NIKO came back to his senses, he realized that the G2 uniforms were too familiar, so he subconsciously walked over.

Realizing that he had made a big mistake, NIKO threw his head up and laughed in embarrassment.

Everyone in COL had doubts in their eyes at this moment, and he even saw the meaning of "We have a traitor among us?" on Danking's face.

NIKO trotted back quickly, and then laughed: "I'm used to wearing G2 uniforms."

"Stop talking, you don't love me anymore." Xu Beifang had a sad expression on his face.

NIKO quickly shouted: "No, no, no, baby, I love you the most."

Danking's expression instantly changed to that of an old man on the subway playing with his mobile phone. Even though he knew that these two idiots were making trouble, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"Okay, okay, let's go and adjust the equipment. Today's game is not easy. Make all the preparations before the game." The smiling coach suddenly remembered something, and finally reminded, "Remember to check the version driver, don't wait. I’ll be affected by the driver halfway through the game.”

He suddenly remembered what happened to device yesterday, and he didn't want this to happen to his team.

If there was a sudden wave in the crucial game, it would be too bad.

The COL team also stopped playing around and started to prepare for the equipment debugging before the game.

...

The G2 team was also debugging the equipment.

However, while adjusting the settings, they all looked at NIKO on the opposite side.

"I feel that NIKO has become more and more humorous after joining COL." Hooxi said to Hunter with a smile.

"It's good." Hunter, as a cousin, actually still wants to play brother CS with NIKO.

But he also knows that his performance often drags down NIKO.

Now seeing NIKO transfer to COL, he has strong teammates, and his whole state seems to be a lot more relaxed, becoming a fun person.

He sincerely feels happy for NIKO.

m0nesy on the side did not speak, his mood was a bit complicated.

NIKO is the big brother on his career path for him.

But now the big brother is gone, and even today he has become his opponent.

He wants to see the big brother shine again on the field and get the glory that the ID ‘NIKO’ deserves.

But today’s game is a cruel elimination match, and he also wants to win the championship with these teammates.

He also doesn’t want to disappoint these teammates around him.

So, in the next match, he will go all out and use all his means to win.

In addition, he is really curious about this player who was once the first step in the world and the ceiling of CSGO’s personal ability.

Constantly challenging oneself and constantly climbing to higher peaks, isn’t that the fun of CS.

So Nice, let me see your strength... m0nesy looked at the other side of the stage, with a burning desire in his eyes.

After the equipment of both players was adjusted, the BP of this game officially began at the reminder of the referee.

G2 took the lead in getting the first ban right in this game, and they still banned the map they were not good at as usual.

In recent months, Desert Mystery has been one of the maps they abandoned. Although Adu joined the team later, Adu's Desert Mystery level was not very strong, so they kept the original status unchanged.

"COL also banned the map regularly, removing Anubis." Masisi read out the BP of the game softly, "But if both sides ban the map by default, then there is something to be done about the BP."

"Because COL's town and G2's ruins were not banned, the order of appearance is worth talking about."

In the BO3 confrontation, the victory or defeat of map 1 is very important, because it is related to the morale of the subsequent teams.

"Alas! G2 directly locked the town?" This result surprised Masisi a little. After all, in his opinion, COL's town in this IEM was very scary, but G2 actually took the initiative to choose the town. This is really a bit bold.

MO on the side added in time: "They should have chosen it. In the past month, G2 played 11 small towns and only lost one game. They are confident in the small town map."

"Now it's a head-on confrontation. The two sides directly met in the small town!"

Masisi nodded: "The first map is confirmed to be the small town, so what will COL choose for the second map?"

Something that surprised him happened again, because COL's choice of map this time was also unusual.

"It's the building?"

He was quite surprised. After all, in the group stage, COL's building was beaten by VP, which can be regarded as quite abstract.

But he didn't expect that they would take the initiative to choose it this time.

He felt that COL was not very rational, but G2 was sweating.

It's not that G2 can't play the big town map, but the level is a bit poor.

In the past month, they played three games while trying their best to avoid it, and lost three games.

G2 played very chaotically on this map, and m0nesy's sniper rifle was not used as it should be, which was very uncomfortable.

COL's move put a lot of pressure on them.

Because of this accident, their chances of winning were extremely low after waiting for the game to enter the building.

COL removed another Ancient Ruins, leaving Death Amusement Park and Nuclear Crisis for them to choose.

G2 finally left Nuclear Crisis as the third map.

The BP of both sides ended here, and the players entered the final preparation time.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the game is about to begin!

PS: Let me explain the content about Wa yesterday. The content about Wa yesterday was the author's personal experience of double rowing with a friend. I love FPS games, so I am willing to try most FPS games, but it may be because I switched from CS to Wa. Wa's environment always gives me a sense of gap. I really don't mean to be awkward.
