CSGO: This player is too obedient!

Chapter 496 56. The Sufferer Meets Huang Mao

As soon as he woke up, Xu Beifang saw Danking yawning in the bed next to him.

"This EPL event is so rushed that there is no time for rest."

Yesterday they reviewed all kinds of training until early in the morning, but this morning they had to get up at 10 o'clock to start warm-up training, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon they had to go to the venue to prepare for the game.

Danking felt like he was almost dizzy. When he was at IEM Chengdu before, he felt fine, but this time it was a little too urgent.

Xu Beifang added: "This time the EPL has compressed the game time, which has resulted in very tight time."

The EPL league has always been a bit stinky and long.

A total of 32 teams participated in the competition, and it has been a BO3 competition format starting from the group stage. If it is played according to the cup competition format, it may take more than a month to complete this competition.

However, the EPL event officials have more arrangements this year, so the overall schedule is relatively tight.

He got up and put on his clothes, while comforting: "Get over it, overcome it, we are actually quite good, we won 3-0 directly, like NAVI, which was 2-1, we had to go to the loser group to play BO3 yesterday. ”

Playing one more BO3 consumes a lot of energy.

The two of them got up from the bed, washed themselves and prepared to start the day.

Xu Beifang was a little bored while washing up, so he took out his mobile phone and casually browsed the forum to pass the time.

He glanced over and found that there were obviously more discussion posts in the forum than in the group stage.

Xu Beifang thought for a moment and quickly understood.

The overly complicated competitions in the EPL group stage actually did not have a good impression on the audience.

Because there are too many games in one day, even game enthusiasts cannot catch up at the same time, so they tend to choose games to support the teams they like.

The feeling of team victory or defeat is not that strong either.

But then we enter the knockout round. If we lose in BO3, we will be eliminated directly.

Let’s look at what teams are in the knockout rounds?

Youth Storm Mouz, Galaxy Battleship Faze, Astralis, a favorite for playing machines, G2, a paradise for fun people, Liquid, which is still in the running-in period, Vitality, which has cargo, and COL, a senior kayak.

Players who are at least paying a little bit of attention to the game will have their eyes lit up at a glance.

Huo, they are all old acquaintances!

They also have their own evaluation of the strength of this group of people, so as not to encounter some niche teams. At a glance, they don't even recognize a few names, and their ability to play is even more unclear.

There was even a lot of discussion on the forum about the follow-up to the knockout round.

Some netizens released the lineup for the first day of the knockout rounds.

Mouz vs G2, COL vs VP, Astralis vs Liquid, Vitality vs Faze

In just half a day, the number of comments and replies below exceeded 500.

[I laughed when I saw this grouping. It’s about revenge and vengeance. You know how to group EPL]

[It’s a bit uncomfortable. Although COL played smoothly at IEM Chengdu last time, the only thing they lost was to VP. This time they faced off again. It feels like COL is about to come to an end.]

[I feel like God is going to dominate Danking and NIKO again]

[Don’t be so pessimistic, last time IEM Chengdu played G2, COL Tower also played very well]

[It’s very simple. Wouldn’t it be nice to just demolish the building? 】

[Actually, if you ask me, the most interesting thing is Team A playing liquid. In Masisi’s words, it’s like a father beating his son, suppressing the top bloodline, haha]

[Don’t tell me, today’s feud is full of grievances. The historical conflicts between Team A and Liquid, and the conflicts between Brother Idea and Team A’s system are really interesting]

[On the contrary, the battle between Little Bee and Galaxy Battleship at the bottom seems to be full of combat effectiveness, but there are not so many gimmicks]

Danking wiped his face delicately with a washcloth, stood on tiptoe and glanced at Xu Beifang's mobile phone screen, "Where are the forums again? What are the netizens talking about?"

Xu Beifang watched him finish washing up, and walked out with his own things. As he walked, Goblin shared: "Netizens are really a group of talents. If they don't tell me, I haven't discovered it yet. We are the Liquid Fighting Team A below."

"Liquid's team is led by Brother Diazi, and it's full of gimmicks." Xu Beifang analyzed it for him one by one. "In terms of teams, Liquid and Team A are enemies and are extremely jealous when they meet. In terms of individuals, Brother Diazi was beaten by Team A in Team X before. The team poached three times..."

"Good guy, this is the time when the bitter master met Huang Mao in the ring." However, Danking noticed the details in Xu Beifang's words, "Was it actually three times?"

Xu Beifang nodded: "The first time seems to be in 2019. At that time, FPX had just won the league's S championship and planned to enter CSGO, so they wanted to acquire the Heroic home team."

"The FPX from the league? The FPX from top laner Jin Gong?" Danking was a little surprised.

He doesn't pay much attention to the news in the industry. Even when he surfs the Internet, he only watches the activities of netizens, and has limited attention to the information dynamics in the circle.

Speaking of this, Xu Beifang mentioned an episode: "FPX came to communicate at that time and wanted to buy me to be the big brother."

"Then why didn't you go then?"

Xu Beifang shrugged: "Why should I go? I was playing well in Little Bees at that time. Although FPX was planning to enter the game, it was a new team."

At that time, he was still playing in Little Bees, and he had nothing to do to run to a new team.

Besides, Heroic was not strong at that time.

"Heroic really wanted to be acquired. After all, after the whole team was acquired, their income was stable, which was great for a second-tier team at that time. Then when it was about to be acquired, Team A bought es3tag, a member of Heroic at that time."

"FPX originally wanted to acquire the entire lineup of Heroic. They definitely didn't want to take it if one person was missing, which led to the failure of this acquisition."

Xu Beifang also sighed a little. The failure of this acquisition actually had a great impact on CNCS.

Because if FPX's acquisition was successful, then such a European team would enter Asia, and this systematization would bring a lot of changes to Asia.

At least those talented young people would have a new choice.

"The second time was a little special. It was the coach of Heroic at the time. This guy was really disgusting. When he was in the online era, he directly packaged the complete system and tactical library of Heroic and sent it to Team A, wanting to use this as his resume."

"Ah!!" Danking was dumbfounded, "Isn't this a spy?"

As a CSGO professional player, he knows too well the influence of those things.

There is a saying in the professional player circle-"There are no secrets in CS".

Because no matter whether it is tactics or playing methods, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can study them from the game video.

But studying these things requires time and energy, and you don't know whether a certain move of the player is a move within the tactics or a flash of inspiration at the time, which also makes it much more difficult to study tactics.

Before, the official Blast event leaked the communication voice of the team in the game, which attracted resistance from all the first-line teams.

Because this communication voice is too important, other teams can accelerate the reverse tactical content of other teams through these voices.

At that time, Heroic's tactical content was revealed to the coach, which was basically equivalent to showing Team A the real deal.

Although Team A did not open the email sent by the coach later, the feud between the two teams was completely sealed.

"As for the third time, you already know about it. It's about the Snake and Rat brothers."

Hearing Xu Beifang's explanation, Danking also sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Dianzi's experience to be so turbulent. Today, Liquid's game against Team A will be interesting."

They have already walked into the training room. Hearing the content of the two people's conversation, NIKO smiled and said: "I think Liquid will still lose. Judging from the state, Liquid played too chaotically."

"Okay, guys." Coach Xiaoxi clapped his hands and pulled them out of the mood of eating melons. "Compared to paying attention to Brother Dianzi's story, the next match we have to face VP is not easy!"

"Previously at the IEM Chengdu Station, we lost badly to VP. Today we have to work hard to get back on track."

Danking and NIKO shut up instantly when they heard this. The previous loss to VP was definitely for them.

So at this moment, they quickly adjusted their emotions and put aside those distracting thoughts.

Seeing their expressions, Coach Xiaoxi didn't say anything special, but took them to quickly scan the recent video of VP.

Even though there is not much time left before the game, we still have to make the necessary preparations.

…

"Okay, brothers, the game has already been shown!"

In the 6657 live broadcast room, Wan Jiji happily opened the live broadcast of the game.

As a Douyu anchor, he has never had the copyright of these major competitions before, so he can only broadcast some niche treasure games.

Niche treasure games are certainly good, but being able to commentate on the games of these old acquaintances is the most fun.

Especially thinking that there will be a game of Team A in a few hours, Wan Jiji has become a little excited.

"Okay, without saying too much, we see that the BP of the game has begun. Today VP got the right to ban the map first. They came up and directly removed it to nuke. VP does not play this map."

"Then COL chose to remove the amusement park and still released Anubis. It seems that they will release Anubis regularly in the future. Obviously, the victory over NAVI yesterday gave them the confidence to play it."

When it came to VP's first choice, VP did not think too much and directly locked ancient, which is the ancient ruins.

COL didn't really care if VP locked the Ancient Ruins. After all, they had been playing well on the Ancient Ruins map recently, and it was now considered a relatively strong map for them.

After considering it, COL directly locked the Mansion.

"You didn't choose the Town?" The player was a little surprised. "This COL still wants to practice. They are really bold."

"And many people should remember that when COL played VP before, they lost to the Mansion."

"It's a pity that this EPL did not adopt the new version of the mode, and the Mansion has not been completely updated."

"Both teams banned one map each, leaving a Desert City as the third map."

After watching the BP of the two teams, the player couldn't help but joked: "It seems that after reaching the quarterfinals, it is still the same. It is a formal CS, either Ancient Ruins or Buildings. Everyone is ordering this kind of niche map."

While he was joking, he heard the background music of ESL and knew that he was going to enter the game.

COL vs. VP

Map: Ancient Ruins

T: Jame, Fame, electronic, F1LT, n0rb3r7

CT: Nice, NIKO, Elige, Danking, JKS

The game officially started.

Xu Beifang briefly recounted the previously discussed tactics: "Danking, give me two dual guns, and then I will take Elige out of the black room, and you will cooperate with NIKO to go to the B slope."

"Remember to give me the flash bomb, you flash and give it, and we will pull out at the same time to clear the small B area."

Similar to the previous match against NAVI, this time it is still a lineup that focuses on defending the gambling point.

However, the structure is still different. When they played against NAVI, they bet on the A area, and they mainly waited for the opponent to make a move.

Today, when playing against VP, they bet on B to actively clear out.

Only JKS was hanging at the A point.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang set off with his teammates to the B area.

He rushed directly into the black room with the usp, and then pushed forward with the advantage of his position.

The dual guns were taken by Brother Ji, so that Brother Ji could help him with the gun at any time.

Danking gave the flash bomb, and with a "bang", Xu Beifang jumped out of the black room.

But the moment he jumped out, he and NIKO shouted in unison: "There's no one outside B!"

"JKS, try to delay, the opponent is going to attack A this point!"

The bet was made in the wrong area, and the pressure was instantly placed on JKS who was alone at A.

…

“VP started with a VIP smoke, and then planned to quickly clamp A. Originally, CT was in a 4B1A position, so JKS was very passive.”

“This formation requires JKS to delay time. The more time he delays, the faster his teammates will return to defense, and the more he can survive.”

“As soon as Donut’s footsteps sounded, JKS chose to break out from one side. His position was a bit dangerous, but he took the initiative to push out from A!”

“Fame, who had no armor, was shot dead by him! And he also heard the footsteps of n0rb3r7. He was doing Qin Wang around the cover inside A!! JKS is still delaying this wave!!”

JKS’s spiritual play bought a lot of time for the other COL people.

After knowing that VP was going to attack A, Xu Beifang directly took Elige to return to defense from the middle.

They were numerous, and they were not worried that the opponent would leave someone behind.

Because that would be a 1-for-1 at most.

However, when they came to the platform, they did not see any bandits who were left behind by VP.

Instead, Xu Beifang and Elige caught two bandits at the mouth of the donut. The two immediately opened fire and attacked, and instantly got two kills.

"VP's offensive rhythm is too slow. A was delayed, and A was still stable, which gave COL the opportunity to return to defense later."

"The defense in the back road has been in place, and this time VP was stuck in the donut, and JKS was killed by n0rb3r7 at A, and Jame was left alone and could not do anything!"

"Jame tried to no avail and was killed by NIKO who came to defend. COL successfully got an ACE!"

The score came to 1:0.

Xu Beifang praised directly in the voice: "JKS played too well in this wave, and this A was too critical to hold on!"

The gambling point brings the team stronger firepower in the local area, but if the opponent does not collide with their main force, then their firepower is more embarrassing.

JKS, who was alone in A, had no props and could not delay the game, but he fought his way out.

JKS smiled and said, "You guys are quick to defend, otherwise I will have no choice if the opponent comes out of the donut and attacks me from the front and back."

Only with excellent personal performance and timely assistance from teammates can the effect of 1+1＞2 be achieved.

Otherwise, even if he handled it well with A, it would only delay the game for a few more seconds.

After winning the pistol round, they equipped themselves with various bullets.

Knowing that the opponent was likely to be ECO, they specially equipped two submachine guns.

Then in this round, Brother Ji used the car king to get a quad kill, and the economic reward was directly maxed out.

Although Brother Ji was also replaced in the end, it was no big deal to the situation.

COL successfully won the second point, and the game will soon enter the first long gun round.
