CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 470 31. COL's building doesn't need to be seen
In the second half of the game in Purgatory Town, the difference in status between the two sides was felt from COL's extremely rational play in the pistol round.

After switching to the attacking side, COL's condition improved significantly, while G2 became a little sluggish.

This idea was soon put into practice in the spear round. Xu Beifang's "fully-insured semi-trailer" easily smashed G2 to pieces on Banana Road.

At that moment, the audience burst into cheers.

To be honest, many players in this position have performed outstandingly, but the only one with such explosive power is Nice. Xu Beifang's wonderful operation has made them cheer sincerely time and time again.

The only good news for G2 is that they don't have much room for error, so they don't have to listen to the audience cheering for COL all the time.

When the score was fixed at 13:4, COL successfully took down the town of Purgatory and got a map in this BO3 confrontation.

Xu Beifang took off his headphones and celebrated with his teammates. He even took the initiative to comfort Danking: "Tiedan, look, although you don't have as many female fans as m0nesy, the cheers are much bigger."

Danking silently took the shape of NIKO and rolled his eyes: "Is it too late for me to quit the team now?"

But what made him even more uncomfortable was that when he looked over, he saw that many of the audience in the venue were holding up cheering items.

There were audience members wearing the uniforms from Xu Beifang’s Little Bee period, and there were also audience members wearing the uniforms from NIKO’s Faze period.

Some even went so far as to hold up standees of Xu Beifang and NIKO.

Among them, Xu Beifang does not have many female fans, but there are still some.

But when he glanced over, he saw that many people were holding up their own supporters.

But there were no female fans. Well, Old K, who was wearing a small balloon, did see one.

Seeing Danking's autistic expression, everyone else smiled faintly.

Coach Xiaoxi came out at the right time to make his presence felt. He clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention. "The first map was played quite well. Everyone's performance was remarkable. It's just that Elige and JKS, you need to be a little more careful. There is an ANTI-ECO round. You shouldn't have entered the A2 building."

"We thought we were facing the Economic Bureau..." JKS talked about his thoughts at the time, and then added, "But it was indeed our failure to consider."

Coach Xiaoxi's words were not harsh, allowing them to express their thoughts.

"It's not a big problem. We just need to be more careful in the future." Coach Xiaoxi didn't dwell on it. "But for the next map, everyone must be fully alert."

“Before the game, Nice and I actually discussed whether or not to release the building.”

When he mentioned the building, he looked at NIKO and Danking and said, "I personally don't want to release this map. You all know that our performance in the building was very bad last time."

NIKO and Danking fell into silence.

The building did make them very unhappy that time, but now the two of them had no ability to refute.

NIKO is not adapted to the building map, and the Danking sniper rifle is unlikely to play a big role on this map.

Even after a series of adjustments made by Xu Beifang, they were still not very confident about this map.

But Coach Xiaoxi said this not to disturb their mentality, "But your captain believes that we are destined to become the team that the world will pay attention to. He thinks this is just a small problem."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the captain. In their eyes, Xu Beifang just smiled faintly and acknowledged that this was his intention.

He glanced across the room, making eye contact with his teammates one by one.

"The map should not be a factor that constrains us. We are a five-map team now, but we are destined to become the strongest team in the future. We will become a six-map team, or even a seven-map team."

He looked at NIKO and Danking: "NIKO didn't play well on this map, but it's actually more because he doesn't like playing. NIKO's attitude towards this map is like he doesn't like playing Tile."

"But I understand that you are one of the best professional players in the world. There is basically nothing you can't do if you want to do it, and this is just a map."

NIKO didn't say anything, but he admitted that what Xu Beifang said was true.

Except in training matches, if he encounters the map called the Building, he basically has to ban it because he is unwilling to play this map with an overly simple structure.

But after talking with Xu Beifang before, and because of some influence brought by donk, he practiced the building map very frequently.

With the initiative to engage, his performance on this map became better, at least he had a lot of new tricks.

"Danking, you don't have to worry. It's just that it's difficult for you to deal with that kind of system team. At least when facing G2, you won't be eaten so hard." Xu Beifang stated what he believed to be the facts to his teammates and gave them confidence.

"This is also the reason why I took the initiative to choose the building. We have to overcome this hurdle eventually..."

"Now that we have taken map one, let's cheer for the next step and try to take it down from the other side in one go. Then we can move on to the finals!"

Hearing Xu Beifang's words, all the team members except him were stunned.

Because it was at this time that they noticed that COL had unknowingly become one of the few remaining teams in this IEM Chengdu station.

They only need to win one more map and they will be able to stand on the final stage tomorrow and compete for the championship trophy.

Although this is not a Major, nor is it Katowice or Cologne.

But for this group of people, it has some special meaning.

This is the first official competition for the new COL lineup.

For Elige, JKS, Danking, and even NIKO, they haven't entered the finals of a major competition for a long time.

Not to mention the slightest loss, they haven't even got the qualification to be the biggest loser in e-sports for a long time.

Apart from their captain, this group of people can be said to be the most famous losers in CSGO.

Elige's performance was extremely poor except for his time in Liquid in 19.

Although JKS has won the honor of being a firefighter several times, he has not been able to achieve anything in a real team. Even when he was in G2, he played well but ended up being ranked below.

NIKO is a well-known Grand Man runner-up player who has won many runner-up titles.

Danking's performance is much worse than this group of people, and he still doesn't have any honor to show off.

Therefore, when the word "champion" appeared, it instantly made them feel a little unreal.

You know, COL is still in the running-in period.

Just one game left and they can make it to the finals?

Although it felt a little unreal, their eyes became determined.

Even Xu Beifang himself began to look forward to it.

The final, he hadn't experienced that scene for a long time.

……

While COL was enjoying the subsequent scenery, G2 was under relatively greater pressure.

The town that was originally a sure win was easily destroyed by COL, which had some impact on their mentality.

Fortunately, the halftime break was quite long, giving them enough time to adjust.

Seeing that the team's atmosphere was rather low, he comforted his teammates: "It's not that we played badly in Map 1. Of course, we made some mistakes, but it was mostly because the opponent played too damn well in this small town map!"

In professional CS competition, you have to believe in your own level and have confidence in yourself.

But in top-level confrontations, we also need to admit that the opponent's performance is indeed outstanding.

There is really no doubt about this, and the mentality of dupreeh and others has also improved a little.

They have been playing very well in small towns recently, and they only lost one of their 11 games, which is a testament to that. But they were in such good form in small towns recently, but they were beaten badly by COL. There is nothing much to say about this.

During the game, they truly felt that Nice was a top-notch player with unique skills on this map.

In this position of Banana Road, Nice can do so many things.

He is not unrestrictable. G2 did use props to restrict him in many rounds, and even exchanged numbers with him in the early stages.

But if we fail to replace him, things will become very troublesome later.

If you have invested a lot of resources in the early stage, then Nice can play a big role even in the package.

This is the most annoying thing.

So when Huxi said that the opponent played very well, they did not refute it.

After all, the results after the game can also be seen.

The guy from Nice doesn't seem to have an exaggerated record, just 22/10.

But they knew that Nice had made too many key kills!
What's more, that guy is a conductor!

Absolutely perverted!
Adu made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere: "Understand, after all, the guy who overturned my dynasty is a monster."

"You have to know that Donk has always lived in his shadow."

After hearing this, Hunter and others seemed to be convinced.

Nice has been less seen in the past two years, but Donk has appeared in the public eye too frequently recently.

A guy who single-handedly broke the perception of CS2 players.

But even such a strong player still lives under the shadow of Nice.

Donk has made countless outstanding performances, but he is still just barely close to the record set by Nice.

So their mentality is pretty good.

After all, a performance of 22/10 is not yet at full capacity for Nice.

I am starting to like this old man Adu more and more.

Although he is older, he is experienced and very smooth in the game.

But with his rich experience, he can do a lot of things.

Outside of competition, he is even a fun person who can liven up the team atmosphere.

Although its firepower is slightly inferior to NIKO, it is still quite good.

Only G2's star player and current core of the team, m0nesy, had a look of reluctance in his eyes.

As a talented teenager who appeared in the public eye at the age of 14, m0nesy is very talented, and his youthful vigor naturally becomes a part of his personality.

Figure 1: Nice's overly aggressive performance made him a little uncomfortable to adapt to, and he was indeed convinced.

But being convinced doesn't mean admitting defeat.

Although we lost in Figure 1, there are still buildings to fight next.

He still wants to regain his place in the building and let his former idol see his abilities.

Although the team is not particularly good at this map, as one of the best players of the new generation, m0nesy is quite good at all maps.

Huxi was trying to comfort his teammates, saying, "We are not particularly good at the Tower map, but we know from the confrontation a few days ago that COL even lost to VP's Tower, so we know that we still have a great chance of winning."

Hunter was suddenly a little disappointed when he heard this. He remembered the reason why COL lost the building, which was because his brother's yellow cloth was completely punished by God.

In this strange atmosphere, both players were ready again.

The map is the Death Building.

Preparation is the map that COL actively chose, and G2 chose to be the defending side.

"Okay, welcome to watch the second map of the Death Tower between COL and G2. I am the commentator Masisi."

"I am the commentator CaptainMO!"

"I am assistant Tomorrow Qing."

After making a brief opening statement, Masisi also began to analyze the configuration of both sides in the pistol round.

"Only one person from G2 has equipped items, but COL has equipped two sets of items. Are they going to attack B right away?"

"Danking jumped and scouted on the B1 floor, and was spotted by dupreeh. Okay, the attack was stopped immediately."

"COL chose to be silent in the second wave and then transfer to another point. G2's defense in the A zone was all at the back of the point. COL was silent throughout the wave and directly touched the A slope. In this case, the defense was a bit difficult to fight."

"COL started to blast directly from the front. They killed two people at the small corner of A. Then they flashed over to counterattack. How many people can they kill in this wave?"

"Hunter shot down one, but NIKO exerted his strength at A, and he Glocked and killed two!"

"Elige also lost his breath on the front battlefield, so this wave of Zone A collapsed directly!"

Xu Beifang looked at the three kill messages in the upper right corner and immediately exclaimed: "Good guns, brothers!"

Then he began to issue orders: "Just place the A slope package, and then we will protect A small and A slope to fight, don't give the opponent a chance."

His thinking was to seek stability first, and the formation's contraction made Adu and Nexa very uncomfortable.

But perhaps they had absorbed Adu's Team A philosophy. After trying a wave and failing to find an opportunity, Adu and Nexa directly saved their guns.

The pistol round was won smoothly, and Xu Beifang happily bumped fists with his teammates.

It can be seen that his encouragement during the halftime break made his teammates play very cautiously.

However, he still reminded them that the opponent would force a strong attack, so they still cannot relax next time.

Fortunately, it is not so easy to turn the tables on this map.

Knowing that the opponent might have a chance to launch a strong attack, Xu Beifang directly placed the battlefield in area A.

Because the distance at slope A is long enough, they can fully utilize the AK47 and Galil.

In Xu Beifang's plan, they would directly use props to arrange the A small position, not giving G2 any chance to operate the pistol.

In the end, G2's forced attack was unsuccessful.

In the next economic round, m0nesy relied on a Desert Eagle to kill two and a half enemies, but COL's discipline did not give m0nesy the opportunity to pick up guns to replenish his combat power, and he won this point without any danger.

Relying on the bonuses brought by the pistol round and the steady pace of advancement, COL successfully won the first three rounds.

Now the score is 3:0, and both sides are about to enter the first rifle round in the building.
