CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 463 24. Advance to the semi-finals!
"13:2, in the matchup in Purgatory Town, Team A was completely beaten by COL!" The player shouted loudly, "Nice proved with his strength that even if the Purgatory Town map is reset, he is still the best Banana Road player."

"In today's Banana Road confrontation, Snake and Rat were completely captured by him head-on!"

The game specifically points out Xu Beifang's performance in the Purgatory Town.

The director's camera also turned to the left side of the stage - that was the COL contestant seat. Xu Beifang took off his headphones with his left hand, leaned to the right and happily bumped fists with NIKO.

"Today, the firepower of the Shibu brothers was at full capacity. They never backed down at Banana Road. The players of Team A at Banana Road were simply no match for them." The player playing the machine subconsciously ignored the role of a certain 'Wapi'.

His evaluation was fair. Seeing the scene of the 'Shi Yibu' brothers bumping fists, the audience in the stadium cheered and gave them applause for their outstanding performance in the small town.

COL's fans let out all their emotions and started cheering.

Astralis is a veteran first-line strong team, and can even be said to be the Danish CS's "national team". The number of fans they have around the world is quite exaggerated.

However, Team A does not receive much support now. The fans who still like this team are more nostalgic for the former Team A - they expect Device to achieve good results.

But the previous top-level palace fight between the Snake and Rat brothers has directly caused Team A to have a bad reputation.

COL has a relatively good reputation.

The number of fans owned by NIKO and Xu Beifang is extremely exaggerated. Even the scalper tickets for IEM Chengdu this time have increased a lot because of the appearance of Xu Beifang.

When those old fans saw Xu Beifang return to the court, they all wanted to come offline to see his performance.

As for the casual fans, the popularity of COL is definitely better than that of Team A.

Therefore, in today's confrontation, COL really played at home.

Whenever they perform well, the scene becomes a carnival.

If Team A performs well, they will not be stingy with their praise.

But the problem is that Team A has very few highlights in the small town.

At this time, the post-match data in Figure 1 was displayed on the big screen at the scene.

COL:

Nice:23/3/5场伤：166.6 rating：2.11
NIKO：17/10/10场伤：133.9 rating：1.87
JKS: …

……

As soon as the data in Figure 1 appeared, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately started discussing it.

[Wow, two fish fryers in this show]

[I am a Ni fan and I am in tears. A rating below 2.02 can finally win! ]

[I am dying of laughter. This reminds me of the scene of NIKO being so big]

[Sure enough, this banana road can only be found in the north, it is a feast for the eyes]

[Brother Shiyibu's banana path is really powerful, the frame was smashed by Brother Snake and Rat]

[Snake and Rat are so humorous, the two of them together have 9 heads]

[Where did these two celebrities in Team A come from? Why are their guns so weak?]

[The people behind Banana Road were beaten so badly that they dared not to shoot]

[Sure enough, HLTV is the wild list of the groove. The two TOP20 on this side are not as good as danking one]

[Indeed, this match had quite a lot of cooperation from the host and it was quite eye-catching]

As if sensing the complaints from netizens, the director cut the camera to the Team A player's seat.

Different from the joyful atmosphere of COL, Team A was extremely depressing. Although they were called a European team, the atmosphere was more like that of the CIS.

Device was no longer as gentle and calm as usual, and his face turned slightly red because he was in a bad mood.

Yebangge's expression was as unrecognizable as always.

JKS's half-brother had a look of disappointment on his face.

Only Stavn and Jabbi on the side avoided looking and did not dare to make eye contact with their teammates.

This is actually normal.

Picture 1 is more like the defeat of Banana Road than the defeat of Team A.

Their Banana Road was completely defeated by COL.

Yes, it was a complete blast!
Because device and Bro in zone A don't even have much room to return to defense.

This banana road drops people too quickly!

Device almost had no time to arrange mid-term personnel adjustments, because often when information came from area B, both brothers were dead.

Even if the device allocates resources to a certain extent, it is completely useless.

Each of them got 4 kills in the whole game, and one of them got 5 kills.

In this situation, he has been beaten to the point of becoming autistic.

And you have to know that although the number of heads is almost the same, there is still a gap between them and others.

The three guys at point A have no chance to face the gun head-on.

The two of them were completely blown up when facing the gun.

The guys in Team A didn't have many kills, but they were still affected by them.

They are fully responsible for the loss of Figure 1, so now they are trying their best to avoid communicating with their teammates, for fear that their teammates will put direct pressure on them.

"COL won the first game. Now the pressure is on Team A. They must gain an advantage in the second map, Nuclear Crisis, otherwise their journey to the elimination round will end here."

The player reminded the audience about the content of the second map, but worried that others would say he was too neutral, he added: "But Nuclear Crisis was Team A's choice of map, so they should be well prepared for this map."

In the camera, Device, who he had high hopes for, seemed to have adjusted his state at this time. He even took the initiative to comfort his teammates: "COL played really well in the small town. Even if I go back to review the game, I will praise their performance."

Bro and Yebangge also nodded subconsciously, but Bro was not deeply touched.

But Yebangge went to Banana Road to help several times, but he had no idea where to start. The opposing 'Double N Combination' seemed to be playing the game from a God's perspective. They always knew what they were thinking and then counterattacked.

Nice's Banana Road is indeed worthy of its reputation. In today's arena, only ropz's A2 building can compare with it.

Device's face showed a look of reminiscence: "Nice and NIKO are both in excellent condition, but Nuclear Crisis is our strong map, and both of them used to play outfield, so there must be some conflicts in position."

"The Nuclear Crisis map is not just about shooting."

Nuke is one of the most famous tactical maps, so shooting is naturally important.

But in this map, communication, synchronization, default, tactics, every link is very important.

"So as long as we can play out our usual tactics and communicate proactively, Team 2 will still be able to get into our rhythm."

"As long as we can take down this second map, the next building." Device paused, "Think about NIKO's yellow cloth."

The simple NIKO Building joke made the members of Team A feel much better.

Indeed, even a top player like NIKO will make mistakes on maps he is not good at.

They will certainly be able to adjust back.

Looking at the changes in the team members' expressions, Device breathed a sigh of relief.

He had little time to transition to command, and he still hadn't adapted to the change in responsibilities, but seeing that his teammates seemed to have adjusted their mindsets, he had some extravagant hope for the next nuclear crisis. But this older Danish commander seemed to have forgotten.

The current COL lineup on paper has very strong shooting skills, but they are not simply mindless gun men.

Nice, NIKO, and Elige are the three firepower points, and they are all players who are very good at this map.

Soon the game entered a nuclear crisis. Because Team A chose the map, COL started as the defender.

In the pistol round, Team A chose to speed up the iron plate in the second time. Only JKS was defending this iron plate.

but!

JKS showed his fire-man style while defending alone.

Five people from Team A rushed forward, and JKS fought while running. When the bandits jumped down from the iron plate, he took one down. Then when the opponents entered area B, he took another one down. When the opponents wanted to pounce on him from the valve and the control room, he took down two of them in a row while almost spinning.

The entire venue burst into cheers.

Although JKS was killed by Yebangge in the end, he had already exceeded his goal.

Yebangge finally defeated JKS, but he was powerless to turn the tide in the pistol round.

The pistol round was eventually won by COL.

Although Team A felt a little regretful, there was nothing they could do, after all, sometimes your opponent is in hot form.

But they also didn't expect that this pistol round almost became a miniature of Figure 2.

After Team A lost the pistol round, they chose to directly use ECO to adjust the economy. Although Yebangge caught an amazing timing and knocked down two people with Glock, no miracle happened.

In the third round, the spear round arrived early.

Team A chose to use an outfield bomb to quietly step down to K1, but the one inside K1 was NIKO.

NIKO's K1 is quite impressive.

He killed three people with one burst of fire from his M4A1. Xu Beifang also seized a good opportunity in the smoke outside the field and killed two people who followed him.

In the first rifle round, COL directly got an ACE.

After losing the first rifle round, Team A chose to try the hero AK.

Jabbi, holding the heroic AK, successfully defeated NIKO in the outfield, but the outfield was subsequently cleared out by Xu Beifang. On the other hand, Elige in the Huangfang area was seized by Yebangge and was defeated with TEC-9. Later, he took the M4A1 and operated it, and almost turned the game around.

Brother Yebang seemed to have found his touch in this round of operations.

Later, after Team A saved up money and got a spear again, he made two consecutive triple kills to help Team A score successfully, and Team A also got the rhythm of the game.

The score came to 6:3 unconsciously.

In the 10th round, with insufficient finances, COL chose ABGO - that is, to attack the bandit hall directly from three angles: the yellow room, the iron plate, and the iron gate.

This is a very aggressive CT front-top tactic, but it is also suitable for use when the economy is bad.

In this round, Xu Beifang and JKS each killed two with fn57, and with the help of a kill by Brother Ji in the outside field, they successfully completed the comeback.

The subsequent rhythm was very good, and the members of Team A, except for Yebangge, seemed to have lost their voice.

The final score of the first half was 9:3. COL had a lot of advantages in the score, but Team A could barely play when they switched to the defensive side.

In the second half, they successfully won the pistol round thanks to the performance of device and Bro.

But just when Team A thought that the chance to catch up and turn the tables had come, COL used the hero AK.

With the help of his teammates, Xu Beifang used this heroic AK to hit three and a half enemies, and with the help of his teammates' follow-up shots, he successfully completed the comeback.

Team A had just won the pistol round and had not yet accumulated economic resources when they were suddenly defeated by this hero AK. Both their economy and mentality were devastated.

This round of reversal also brought about a lot of chain reactions.

COL took advantage of its economic advantage and pushed forward quickly.

Xu Beifang also saw clearly that Team A was not in good form, so he arranged more tactics on the outfield on the offensive end, relying on him and NIKO to set the pace.

The offense in the second half went smoothly as he planned, and they quickly pushed the score to 12:4. They took the match point first and were only one round away from winning the game.

Seeing that the opponent got the match point first, Team A seemed to wake up from a dream. They successfully recovered several rounds thanks to the performance of Yebangge.

However, the score gap in the early stages was too big, leaving them with no room for error.

In the end, in a chaotic fight in Zone B, Danking got the last kill.

The score was fixed at 13:7.

Map 3 was taken by COL again, which also marked the end of this BO.

COL won the quarter-final and took a step forward towards the semi-final stage.

Team A’s journey in IEM Chengdu ends here.

The COL players stood up and hugged each other to celebrate the victory in this confrontation.

Although the players of Team A also stood up and high-fived, everyone could see that their movements were so weak.

When it came to shaking hands after the game, although Device was a little disappointed, he was not someone who could not afford to lose, and his signature gentle smile appeared on his face again.

"You are better than me. After becoming a commander, you obviously understand the game better."

In today's BO3, Team A got beaten pretty badly.

It's no exaggeration to say it was a bloodbath. The two maps combined didn't even reach double digits, which is really a bit ugly.

Although the problem was more about the players' poor condition, he felt that as a commander, he had not done a good job in strategy today and was not as good as the old opponent in front of him.

Xu Beifang smiled and pouted at NIKO beside him: "That guy helped me a lot on this."

Device looked at Xu Beifang with some surprise.

Xu Beifang's words did not make him underestimate Xu Beifang's command ability. Instead, he felt that the guy in front of him was more rational.

"Having the courage to delegate power is never an easy thing to do." Device's tone was a little emotional and envious.

He envied Xu Beifang for finding a trustworthy teammate again.

And what about Astralis now?
The ignorant newcomers, the star players who want to seize power, and the mentally ill management.

All these make device feel very tired.

Xu Beifang vaguely felt that Device was in a bad mood, but he just patted him on the shoulder gently.

Then he gave two words of encouragement to Yebangge, who looked like 39 but was actually only 19.

The young man, who looked a little anxious, was obviously happy with the encouragement from his senior.

Then Xu Beifang saw Bro and jks shaking hands in a strange way.

This made the members of the COL team laugh so hard that they were numb.

After all this was done, Xu Beifang also symbolically shook hands with the Snake and Rat brothers.

But he actually wanted to use an elbow.
