CSGO: This player is too obedient!

Chapter 486 46. The resort turned over

NIKO woke up from his sleep, and he subconsciously knocked his aching head.

"Are you awake? The operation was successful, you are already a girl!"

Before he could remember what state he was in, he heard Xu Beifang's voice in the room.

NIKO rolled his eyes, you are teasing a fool!

No, Beifang seemed to be teasing me.

He woke up in a daze, and felt that his brain was overloaded.

"What time is it?"

"One o'clock in the afternoon." Xu Beifang pointed to the table, "You slept too deeply, and you didn't respond when I called you to have lunch before. I packed a burger for you and took it yourself on the table."

NIKO smiled awkwardly: "Didn't you have too much fun last night?"

"Of course, it's your home court."

After having supper last night, they went to the nightclub again. After winning the championship, a group of people opened champagne and reveled, completely releasing their energy.

NIKO liked the nightclub environment, and he even made that nightclub his home court.

NIKO picked up his phone and looked at the replies from fans and professional players in the circle under his Twitter post. He still felt unreal.

"Did we really win the championship?" He couldn't help asking Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang's face was speechless: "Let's not drink anymore in the future. Going to a nightclub will make people drunk."

NIKO was not angry. He laughed happily when the other party said a few words of disdain.

After looking at the photo of himself holding the trophy on Twitter for a while, he turned his head and looked at Xu Beifang who was doing stretching exercises out of boredom, "What are our arrangements for the future?"

"I just asked T.C." Xu Beifang stopped what he was doing, picked up the phone from the side, and saw that the coach had replied to him, "We will take the flight the day after tomorrow morning and fly directly to Malta to participate in the ESL S19 season."

"After we get there, we will train together and should be able to fight." NIKO thought he was going to Malta in advance to prepare.

Xu Beifang shook his head, "We didn't have much time to prepare for the training camp. Once we got there, we had to adapt to the time difference and then we started the competition. So we shouldn't set too high expectations for the results this time. We should mainly practice through competition."

He loved CS competitions, but the tight schedule of CS still made people feel uncomfortable.

They just won the championship, but the next competition will start in 9 days.

There was not much time for them to prepare or practice new tactics, so practicing through competition was the best choice this time.

"That's not right." Danking was a little surprised, "Don't we have to play for the ESL qualification?"

In this IEM Chengdu, COL played honestly from the qualifiers, even if they played in the Asian region, it took a lot of time.

ESL started playing right away, which made him a little surprised.

Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

NIKO helped explain: "This is the charm of money! Our COL is a sponsored team of EPL, and we bought the seat with money."

He knew this. When he was in G2, G2 was also a sponsored team. Every time EPL started, they were invited to play from the group stage.

"I guess!" Danking suddenly remembered this, "It seems that teams that don't qualify need to play a particularly complicated qualifying match. Tianlu also played it at that time."

CS first-line competitions are already very intensive. There is no need to struggle to compete for qualifications from various qualifiers. This can reduce the energy consumption of players and spend more time in important competitions.

This sponsorship qualification is of course very good for their first-line players.

But it is too harsh for second-line teams.

Because in a league like EPL, apart from sponsored teams and invitations based on points ranking, there are not many remaining qualifications.

It is too difficult to stand out from it.

"Sponsored teams are simply too despicable!" Danking was indignant.

Xu Beifang and NIKO both shrugged. Although it was unfair to the second-tier teams, there was nothing they could do about it.

E-sports competitions ultimately seek traffic, and if the second-tier teams are truly strong, they still have a chance to break through the siege.

Then they heard Danking grinning: "Fortunately, we are a sponsored team."

Tang!

Xu Beifang looked a little speechless, and then added: "Fortunately, the quality of this competition is not bad, and the group stage adopts a double-elimination BO3, and there is also a last chance stage, so at least we can play 3 BO3s, and we can practice a lot of things."

As the team commander, he actually knows everything.

The team's map pool is still a bit shallow now, and there are too few means in some complex maps.

Once the strength gap between the two sides is not big, it is easy to fall into a stalemate.

They still have fewer means to break the balance.

And this time the championship has returned to the public's attention again, so it is inevitable that they will face the next target.

Some of their commonly used tactical routines must be changed.

"It's not a big problem!" NIKO waved his hand, "I think with our current state, we can make it into the knockout rounds, and we'll be done with it!"

"This mentality is very good. We just have to be confident." Xu Beifang gave NIKO a thumbs up.

He personally feels that champions are very nurturing.

The level of the people in the team today is definitely high. After all, they have been able to stay on the front line for so many years. Without some ability, it would be impossible.

But there are times when this group of people are just short of breath.

Often just a little bit worse.

In terms of strength, it is still a little difficult to make rapid progress, but if they can be more confident, they can fully exert their due strength, and even achieve a 120-point level from a 90-point level in some special times. .

The improvement of self-confidence is very simple, it just needs to achieve results in this field.

When you know that you can do this well, you will naturally gain confidence.

After winning the IEM Chengdu Championship, he clearly felt that the mental outlook of the team members had changed, and even Danking's overall fighting spirit had improved a lot.

At least it won't be like when Xu Beifang was asked, "Can he win?" when he first joined COL and met a strong first-tier team.

However, there is still a lack of a champion now, and we have to slowly add something to the glory in the future.

"Coach Xiaoxi informed us that we will have a small meeting later, and then we will review last night's game." Danking reminded the two of them.

When NIKO heard this, he quickly got up and washed up.

He didn't want everyone in the team to wait for him alone.

However, the smiling coach's approach made him feel more and more that he was in the right place.

You must know that after winning a championship, everyone is surrounded by ecstasy, so why bother about the review of the final after winning the championship.

It can be said that we won the final because we were so good that we didn’t need to review the game or anything like that.

But COL did not, but seriously wrapped up some things after the finals.

And to be honest, their performance in Figure 1 yesterday was not very good.

It can only be said that the resilience of a group of people is strong enough, and there is hope for a comeback.

Danking was chatting with NIKO about how much prize money each of them would get after this final round.

Xu Beifang had no idea about this, so he simply turned on his phone and started surfing.

As the day goes by, the online rhythm is still very hot.

The impact of COL's victory is still spreading on the Internet.

Xu Beifang took a look at HLTV and found that HLTV had not updated the rankings, but he roughly calculated that after the rankings were updated, they might reach the top 5 with this championship.

The reason why we didn't directly enter the first place was mainly because COL had too many personnel changes this time, and all the previous points were lost, so we were starting from scratch.

HLTV’s current points algorithm is the sum of results + status + offline and other columns.

Their performance in winning the championship is naturally excellent, but their status and offline points are too low, so they will not reach a particularly high level.

This is quite in line with his expectations.

It's interesting to have room for improvement.

He continued browsing the forum for a while and found that the posts in the forum were quite enthusiastic.

[Rational discussion, who is the first shooter in the world between Nice and Donk now]

[Is this still necessary to discuss? Donk fans, please stop pretending to be a guest】

[Donk’s nickname is Little Nice, you can understand it]

[In terms of results, the North is the Major champion + Grand Slam. In terms of personal strength, the North is in the top 2 consecutively]

[Haven’t you understood the data from the final? Also playing Faze, this data is crushed]

[When the time comes, you will know after a fight. This professional arena is ultimately dominated by young people]

The audience in the forum quickly started to quarrel, but Xu Beifang didn't pay attention. He was quite happy to see the comments from netizens.

Donk is indeed the top rifleman who appeared after CS2, and he is a genius who came into being in the version.

He actually liked Donk's style of play, and his eyes lit up when this guy came out.

But later I discovered that Donk relies too much on talent to play, so I realized that this guy still lacks experience in ‘dungeons’.

Donk's methods are too few. As long as he is given a wave of "superstar" level targets in the future, this guy will definitely be honest.

He is now more happy because he won the championship. In 20 years, he won so much that he was a little indifferent to victory.

But now that he has returned and won the championship again, it gives him a different feeling.

At this time, he suddenly saw a message: "CS2 version update..."

But before I could read the follow-up, I heard NIKO say: "I'm ready, let's go to the training room."

He looked up and saw NIKO holding a hamburger and eating it, and he immediately followed him.

They entered the training room and found that not only the coach, but Elige and JKS were also here.

"Do you want to start the review now?" Danking asked the smiling coach.

The smiling coach shook his phone: "Look at the resort club's Twitter. They just came out with a big update, and the content is quite important."

A group of people began to sit down and turn on their mobile phones. Xu Beifang entered Twitter and found the resort club's account.

I saw the resort agency released an update half an hour ago.

Xu Beifang read all of them and summarized them as follows:

The price of M4A4 was adjusted from 3100 yuan to 3000 yuan.

The price of the police's incendiary bomb was adjusted from 600 to 500, but the range became smaller and the duration became shorter.

Then the economic reward for placing a package changed, from 800 yuan to 600 yuan.

The Death Building was changed by the Vacation Club.

First, the wall connecting A to A was opened, and then an iron frame was added to the periphery of A area.

Then the 50th floor under the A slope became deeper.

"Hiss~" Danking couldn't wait to turn on the computer and enter the running map server of the building after reading the update, and then took a sip of ice cola, "Is this still the building?"

The update of the Vacation Club was just a few words, but it was a huge change in the game.

"This A small wall has been opened, how can the bandits rob the police?" Elige was also a little surprised by the changes in the building.

NIKO commented: "In the past, if we pushed forward from A, we only needed a smoke bomb on the left side of the bomb site, but now we have to seal the door of A."

"Not only that." Xu Beifang explained his opinion, "This door wall has been opened, even if you seal the smoke bomb, the CT's return defense will become much simpler."

"And the idea of ​​defending the bomb after taking over the A area will also change. In the past, after we took over the A area, as long as there was the fulcrum of A, it was easy to defend and take it, because it was very difficult for the opponent to clear A."

"But once this wall is opened, A will have to face two angles of gun lines when playing the endgame, and the difficulty of the game has increased."

JKS pointed to the extra iron passage in the A area: "Look here, there is an extra road here, which also makes the attack of the A area more difficult, and the CT has one more gun position and choice."

The appearance of the iron passage has increased the gun positions for the CT to defend.

Whether it is the early defense point or the subsequent endgame, the difficulty of the attacker has increased.

Coach Xiaoxi also said: "Then it will become a big police map from now on, which is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Not only the building, the resort has strengthened the defense of all maps, and the building is just more obvious." Xu Beifang saw the key, "The building only strengthened the CT from the map structure, but did you notice the adjustment of the economic system?"

"The A4 gun has become cheaper. It looks like it's only 100 yuan, but you all know how embarrassing this 100 yuan is."

Everyone in the room nodded.

In the current version, most players choose A1 as their main rifle.

Even if A1 has defects in bullets compared to A4, its silencer + cheap features make it popular with most players.

After all, the number of rounds in CS2 has decreased, and the economy has become more difficult to operate. Sometimes 200 yuan of economy and an extra flash bomb may be the hope of a comeback.

Sometimes, it's really just that 200 yuan of economy.

But A4 has become 3,000 yuan, which is different.

"I think many players would be willing to exchange this 100 yuan price for the ability to kill streaks." JKS prefers to use A4, and he also plans to replace A4 with his main weapon later.

Xu Beifang signaled Danking to open the store. He pointed at the incendiary bomb and said, "And the fire is 100 yuan cheaper, so there is basically no pressure to use A4."

"Then here comes the biggest weakening of the bandits!" Xu Beifang couldn't help but complain, "He really plans to ECO after seeing that he lost the pistol round."

NIKO frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xu Beifang did not keep it a secret and immediately explained: "The economic reward after the pistol round is 800 yuan. If we are on the offensive side and lose the pistol round, we will have a basic economy of 2,800 yuan in the next point, and we can directly start the full armor Galil and try to turn the tables."

"But this wave of economic rewards has been cut by 200 yuan. If you don't get a kill, only the full armor submachine gun can be used."

After CT wins the pistol round, it is generally necessary to buy props, and most members can only be equipped with hair dryers.

Against the bandits with full armor Galil, the guns are actually at a disadvantage, so after the bomb is planted, the bandits still have great hope of turning the tables.

But the changes made by the resort make the bandits' guns inferior to the police after losing the pistol round.

"So this resort is not only improving the winning rate of the building defenders, they are trying to improve the winning rate of CT in all aspects and reduce the winning rate of T."

Xu Beifang took a breath.

It is certainly a good thing that the salted fish resort is willing to turn over and move.

But because COL's team style tends to be individual ability, the increase in the winning rate of the defenders has raised the lower limit of the system team, but it has also made it more difficult for them to rely on individual ability to play.

"This resort really gave us a difficult problem!"
