CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 491 51. Be yourself in the fire!
"NAVI crushed them this time?" Brother Shuijing was a little surprised by the result of Figure 1.

This was the first time that Xu Beifang had watched a COL game seriously since his comeback.

Although I had vaguely known from big data that COL had performed well recently and even won the IEM Chengdu championship.

But he believes that if they fight against NAVI, they will definitely be suppressed a lot.

In his opinion, the result of today's COL game is likely to be "honorable in defeat". The final result may be a terrible loss, but there will be many highlights, and the battle between the two sides will be very intense.

But he didn't expect that there were indeed quite a few highlights.

But the direction was completely different from what he imagined.

Retired veteran players returning to the game?

Can it be so powerful?
Today he really had an eye-opener.

At this moment, Leon Kai joined the voice chat, planning to do a two-person commentary.

He had just sent a WeChat message to Leon Kai to ask him about this. After all, as a commentator in the CS industry, he was still too amateurish in some aspects.

As soon as Leon Kai came in, he asked curiously: "Leon Kai, what's going on? How did COL get beaten by NAVI? NAVI is the Major champion! How come they got beaten like this in the first picture?"

Compared to Crystal, Leon Kai was much more professional. He said: "I was actually a little surprised as well."

"what!"

"That's for sure. I originally thought that NAVI could win. Even if they can't win, at least they'll get a high score." Leon Kai explained, "Map 1 is NAVI's choice after all, and judging from the map BP, COL is very likely to practice the map."

"So they are more focused on training, so I naturally think NAVI has a greater chance of winning."

Brother Shuijing asked: "Then why..."

"Because COL was in very good shape, let's take the last point as an example." Leon Kai gave an example, "NAVI was completely defeated in a head-on gunfight. In the last point, they actively wanted to rush out to engage in a firefight, but they kept losing people, and their killing ability was completely not on the same level."

"The current COL is at least much stronger than NAVI in terms of firepower."

There is no need to say much about Xu Beifang. He is the best performer in Figure 1. He took the initiative on the defensive side and always led the rhythm of the game.

When on the offensive side, he also made several outstanding kills.

NIKO and Elige's performances were also remarkable.

NIKO was in the black room, and he had been fighting back and forth with the opponent, and even gained a lot of advantages in the head-on confrontation.

When Elige was on the defensive side, he cooperated with Xu Beifang to suppress and finish off the enemies, and assisted Xu Beifang in achieving a lot of results.

Although there were some unnecessary mistakes in a few rounds, the overall performance was already quite outstanding.

Even if there is no explosive carry performance, this is enough!
The camera turned to the NAVI player's seat. Leo stood up and was nervous with his teammates. He scratched his thigh with his right hand in a somewhat helpless manner.

He wore a baseball cap with NAVI printed on it, as if it could hide his expression.

The situation of the other young people was relatively simple. They were a group of energetic young people whose feelings were written directly on their faces.

Confused, disappointed, and dizzy.

These feelings are reflected on their faces.

"A bad feeling came over me. NAVI now has to consider the problems they might encounter in the second map." Crystal joked, "They have to cheer up, otherwise they might be taken away in one wave."

Leon Kai shook his head: "It's not that simple."

He explained: "I have been following COL since IEM Chengdu. They didn't play Anubis before, but they took the initiative to choose it today. Obviously, they want to practice it."

“Taking the initiative to address one of the weak points in the map pool is commendable!”

Many teams will hold on to their only strength and not let go. For example, Big used to have good combat power in the first-line arena thanks to the high level of Sha Er, but as long as the opponent removes Sha Er, their strength will drop significantly.

Even as Sha Er withdrew from the service map, they gradually disappeared from the first-line arena.

He understands that only the more adaptable teams can survive on the field.

"But they are not good at Anubis after all. Although this map is not NAVI's specialty, their proficiency is definitely higher than COL. So in the next game, they may turn to the offensive, and NAVI will crush COL in map 2."

"The real winner is going to be determined by looking at the third picture."

Leon Kai made a professional judgment on the game, COL's player seat.

Coach Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Although we played a little rough overall, we still won the first picture, which is great."

Xu Beifang was high-fiving his teammates next to him. Hearing this, he smiled and responded, "To refute, we played very well overall. There were only a few flaws in a few rounds. It's not a big deal."

Coach Xiaoxi nodded: "Everyone is in really good shape. We can solve a lot of problems with our tacit understanding, but be prepared to be suppressed. Our Anubis's level is not high. Be prepared to solve the problem in map 3."

"But even so, we still need to work hard to get every point. It's not common to have NAVI giving their all as our opponent in training matches."

They had discussed this matter long ago. Compared with the ranking of the competition, they valued the training effect brought to them by this league more.

Today's BP was also discussed in advance.

So Coach Xiaoxi's words did not discourage them, but just cooled down their excitement a little.

As the second-ranked team in the world on HLTV, NAVI is a typical 6-map team. Except for the Death Tower, which they don’t play, the other maps are remarkable.

As for the Anubis map, COL only has some things from the recent training.

The means are relatively few.

However, there are not many opportunities to train with such top teams, and some of their overly low-level playing styles will be quickly broken by opponents.

The feedback you get after the game will be surprisingly high.

Everyone was ready, and after the halftime break, they officially started the second half of the game.

Map: Anubis

(Some positions may not be reported in this way, because there are several ways to report the same position)
T: Nice, NIKO, Elige, Danking, JKS
CT: Aleksib, JL, w0nderful, IM, B1t
The pistol round officially begins.

During the halftime break, COL had finished their discussion and after a little forward pressure, they launched a bomb attack at point A.

"COL immediately exploded the bomb, the fire at the fountain position, and two conventional smoke bombs at point A, intending to launch a direct offensive."

"But Xiao Lizi handled it very well. He immediately placed a smoke bomb at the entrance of Area A, then used a hidden smoke flash and planned to go out and brush!"

"But this time we hit someone in the smoke bomb, and both sides started fighting, but COL's offensive rhythm was slowed down!"

"The JL at the back point is just practicing his marksmanship. JL knocks down one, two, and three!"

"JKS completed the last shot, but Xiao Lizi behind the smoke also killed JKS. Danking succeeded in the last shot, but B1t's return defense was also in place, and they didn't even have a chance to plant the bomb."

……

After losing the pistol round, Xu Beifang took a breath and said, "The opponent handled the pistol round too well. We should have retreated immediately if we didn't get in the first wave."

He briefly reviewed the problems in the pistol round and finally found that it was because he did not play this map enough and did not have a clear understanding of the structure of the map's firefight.

The place at the A entrance is a bit like the B passage in Purgatory Town.

They tried to get out with a wave of explosives, but Leo blocked them with a smoke bomb.

Although there was a fountain nearby that allowed for a good view, it was immediately set on fire by them.

I can only say that NAVI's handling is indeed excellent.

However, if he was more experienced, he would have directly given the order to change the point when he saw the smoke.

"I was a little slow to react." Xu Beifang briefly mentioned this, and then began to make follow-up arrangements. "I failed to plant the bomb. JKS gets the most gold from the kills. You should use your Desert Eagle to play with NIKO."

NIKO's Desert Eagle is still very trustworthy. In this economic situation, even if you can only get one kill, it is worth it.

However, they did not find any opportunities in this point because NAVI was too stable.

They are best at dealing with rounds that require discipline.

In the end, only during one wave of speed-up in area A, they successfully killed one person thanks to the damage of NIKO's Desert Eagle and Danking's follow-up shots.

But still couldn't let go of the thunder bag.

The score came to 0:2.

COL also entered the rifle round.

"For this point, we will focus on default map control." NIKO gave the order, "NAVI probably didn't change their guns very often, so they actually have a lot of pistols. They are not qualified to come out and compete with us for map control."

"In this way, Beifang and JKS will go alone on both sides, and the three of us will put pressure on the middle lane."

Among the three superstars in the CSGO era, Xu Beifang is also a very special player.

S1mple is a player who is extremely dependent on resources, but as long as you give him a sniper rifle or a heroic AK, S1mple can really make a name for himself.

Zaiwu is at the other extreme. He doesn't consume any resources at all. Even if he has something like MP9, he can still kill people and do things.

But Xu Beifang is more flexible.

He can eat resources, and after eating resources he can also work.

But even if he doesn't consume resources, a lot of things can still be accomplished.

He has a lot of experience in handling orders, so in NIKO's default idea, he puts the more experienced Xu Beifang and JKS in charge of handling orders to increase fault tolerance.

After the countdown ended, Xu Beifang walked directly towards Area A. However, NAVI had thrown a smoke bomb at the stairs outside Area A in the early stage, which made him a little confused.

"The opponent's A zone may push forward, Danking will come to help me, put some pressure on the middle lane, at least don't let the opponent get the bridge hole."

The NAVI smoke made his eyes light up, but his keen tactical sense also made him know the function of this smoke.

This smoke directly blocked the bandit's way to Area A. If it was accompanied by Area A and the front roof of the small dark room, he might die a miserable death.

Essentially, the gameplay of this cigarette is the same as the small town Faze cigarette.

So Xu Beifang did not dare to move, but called Danking over to double-frame and look in the direction of Gate A.

Maybe it was a height issue, Xu Beifang didn’t get much vision when he stepped on Danking’s head.

However, making this adjustment temporarily is already a very good on-the-spot reaction.

This NAVI smoke bomb is really powerful. He was able to mobilize so many troops with just one smoke bomb.

But he thought quickly, and the problem was mainly caused by lack of experience.

The next time he encounters this situation, he will immediately throw a fire ball towards Gate A to counter their possible forward attack, and the problem can be solved easily.

Although this smoke bomb is similar to Faze smoke, the effect is completely different due to the distance issue.

Still need to practice... Xu Beifang sighed in his heart, but his hands kept moving.

As the smoke dissipated, he asked Danking to go back and push the middle lane with NIKO, while he stood outside A and did nothing.

"The three-man team in the middle is advancing slowly and quietly, but JL is holding an MP9 in front of the middle gate, and NIKO is swaying and observing, but in this position you have to look at the shadow first!" Leon Kai said anxiously.

"After JL got the information, he immediately took the lead. He used MP9 to kill NIKO instantly, and then he ran and shot at Elige who was behind him and also killed him!"

Although Danking succeeded in last-hitting, the battle in the middle lane still made Shuijing exclaim: "This MP9's combat power is a bit exaggerated. He killed two people in the middle lane. I can only say that he is worthy of being a Major MVP-level player."

The impression that JL gives to the public is that of a fun-loving guy, a second-tier rookie.

But after this guy joined NAVI, he really got better and better, and his performance became more and more stable.

JL is now the undisputed big brother of NAVI.

Xu Beifang also noticed the kill information in the upper right corner.

He failed to control the map in the middle, which made him feel uncomfortable. Due to the numerical disadvantage, the following attack was a little difficult to launch.

"You guys come closer to me, I'll go in and get some information." Xu Beifang made the subsequent decision.

As for the single touch, it was mainly because he keenly perceived a piece of information.

He had already planned to choose Anubis before the game, so Xu Beifang watched the recent videos of Anubis played by NAVI players in advance.

CS players are a group of creatures pursuing perfection.

Therefore, the more reasonable and effective the playing method is, the more favored it will be by them.

As a result, more and more formulaic playing methods have emerged.

Even Xu Beifang has his own formulaic style of play.

As for this A gate, the order in which the opponent's props were used and the places where they exploded were exactly the same as what I remembered from a DEMO I saw from B1t.

B1t now either sets up smoke at the front point or moves around at the back point to scout and wait for the bandits' subsequent actions.

He assumed that B1t was setting up a smoke, so there would be no chance on the side closer to the table.

When B1t gives the cigarette, he will place the cigarette on the fountain. He will pay special attention to the upper left side of the cigarette, where there is a table that he can step on to get information. B1t will always be on guard against that place.

When Xu Beifang watched the video, he suspected that it was a trap set by B1t on purpose.

He glanced at the side of the smoke bomb closest to the table, where the smoke was the lowest.

B1t thought it was a bait, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

But when he realized that this was a bait, the positions of the prey and the hunter quietly changed.

He looked at the fountain behind the smoke, found a rough reference, and opened fire!
B1t was holding the smoke bomb obediently, nervously calculating the time for the smoke bomb to dissipate, and considering when to change positions.

But at this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out from behind the smoke bomb.

Bullets hit him wildly, and the sudden burst of damage took his life directly. B1t didn't even have time to react.

"Britt!!" B1t cursed out loud after being killed so suddenly, "Someone came from Gate A, Nice killed them all, I don't know how many people there were."

B1t was surprised, and Leonkai who was commentating was also dumbfounded.

He was still calmly speculating what might happen between the two sides, when he suddenly saw Xu Beifang behind the smoke opening fire and directly knocking down B1t.

"What the hell is this!" Brother Shuijing shouted in disbelief, "Has CS evolved to this level now?"

Leon Kai was also dumbfounded: "He played like this in the finals against Faze half a month ago. It's totally unreasonable!"

After Xu Beifang got the first kill, he immediately rushed into the bomb site and began to collect information.

Although his teammates were still on the way, he had to grab the shooting position, otherwise JKS and Danking would have no chance to get in.

He directly added a Heaven's Smoke, but the opponent did not take any action afterwards.

Little Leo was not in a hurry. After the game in Figure 1, he knew the opponent's shooting skills very well.

So he chose to wait for his teammates to return to defense and then see what happened next.

He was quietly collecting information behind the cover on the right side of Paradise. His teammates had already returned to the middle lane for defense. He heard footsteps coming from the opposite Gate A, so he immediately took out a incendiary bomb and threw it towards Gate A.

"This fire blocked the bandits' way into the restaurant. Time is running out. Little Leo's delaying move was a great success!"

"And his delay bought time for his two teammates. As long as w0nderful and IM can step up and defeat Bao Fei, they can still win this round!"

Xu Beifangren didn't actually enter the bomb site. After throwing the smoke bomb, he moved near the fountain.

Now a fire exploded in front of his left side, and Danking immediately put out the fire.

Xu Beifang also seized the opportunity to peek out to look for opportunities.

When he pulled it out, he saw a CT taking out an incendiary bomb and throwing it towards him.

He immediately stopped, positioned himself and opened fire.

"Da da da!"

[Nice killed IM with AK47]

As he knocked down IM, a firebomb exploded under his feet.

At the same time, perhaps after receiving information from teammates, CT peeked out from the middle lane again.

Xu Beifang had originally planned to retreat, but now he realized there was no way back.

Because of his running, the opponent will definitely focus their firepower on Danking.

If the thunder bag is knocked down, there will be no chance of scoring this point.

So he chose to crouch down, forcibly interrupting the movement state, and opened fire at the policeman in the middle.

"Da da da!"

[Nice killed w47nderful with a headshot using an AK0]

Leo had been hiding behind the cover and using props to delay time, but his teammates died one after another, and w0nderful stepped out to finish off the opponent but was also shot down, so he immediately rushed out horizontally.

He knew that if he didn't come out, he would really have no chance of scoring this point!
The moment he pulled out, he saw the gangsters jumping out of the smoke bomb and the bandits holding AKs squatting on the flames next to the fountain.

He raised his gun and fired at the bandits, trying to knock the bomb off.

But out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of light in the flames, and then -

"boom!"

[Nice killed Aleksib with a headshot using an AK47]

The next second, the kill information appeared again in the upper right corner.

[IM killed Nice with a firebomb]

The entire killing scene happened in just a moment. Everything happened so fast that the commentators, Leon Kai and Shuijing Ge, only had time to utter “Ah?!”.

The exchange of fire between the two sides has ended.

After Brother Shuijing realized what was happening, he said in shock: "What the hell is this Beifang! He just stepped on the fire and killed all three of the opponents?"

“Is that fire fake?”

He subconsciously looked at the screen, wanting to see NAVI's reaction.

But I found that NAVI directly called for a pause.

The score came to 1:2.

COL successfully won the first rifle round thanks to Xu Beifang's performance.
