Chapter 394 The Offseason Begins
Xiao Lizi sat on the sofa in the Little Bee Base and looked at his phone quietly.
"I didn't expect Team A to say good things about you after the game. I thought after the Major, they would say that they were just in bad shape this time."
JackZ, who was holding coffee next to him, walked over curiously, "And this matter, please let me know."
He leaned over to Xiao Lizi with his big head, and Xiao Lizi handed the phone over to him.
The content in the picture is a video interview accepted by gla1ve.
The host's topic was a bit sharp: "gla1ve, this is the first time Team A has lost in the finals. How do you feel now?"
Jack felt that this interviewer was a bit sick. A good person would reveal his scars during an interview.
However, Jack's bad taste is very strong. He has won the championship for many days. He is not so hostile to Team A, but his impression does not change so quickly.
In the video, gla1ve's face froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his answer: "It feels bad. After all, we are going to defend the championship. We really want to prove to everyone that we can still win." Major’s ability.”
gla1ve was silent for a moment and then said: "But all we brought to device was a bad birthday."
DiCaprio looked a little embarrassed when he saw this scene. In the post-match interview of the semi-finals, gla1ve said that he wanted to give device a big birthday gift, but now it seems that this birthday gift must be a bit bad.
The interviewer continued to ask: "The Major has ended four days ago. Do you have any thoughts about that game now?"
"Actually, when we just lost the final, I only felt angry. I thought we shouldn't have performed so poorly." gla1ve sighed, "What really made me feel painful was seeing a familiar fan after the Major. When I put on the little bee avatar, I felt sadness coming from the bottom of my heart.”
“That’s when I realized that we lost the Major——”
When he said this, gla1ve's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.
Li Zi shook his head: "Although he doesn't like Team A very much, he really showed his true feelings."
CSGO has a tight schedule and a fierce rhythm.
Many players have experienced that feeling. They lost the game but had no real feeling.
The real feeling of failure was a small incident soon after, and the emotion of failure came to my face.
Jack nodded and continued reading.
The reporter continued to ask: "Can we talk about that final? There are many friends who want to hear your client's views on that final."
"Both of us are well prepared for this final, there is no doubt about that."
Li Zi nodded. In this final, both sides were very active in targeting their opponents and making some adjustments before the game.
"We tried our best, but unfortunately, our performance was not enough." gla1ve said and took a breath, "I don't think my performance was good enough in this BO3. Some of the instructions I gave were great, but some rounds I also think I made a mistake, but you have to know that every team’s style is different, so it’s difficult to make specific judgments based on information.”
"I think the instructions I gave in Purgatory Town were all good, but in the twenty-ninth round, because of my omissions..." gla1ve was silent again, "As you can see, Nice played a game that was destined to be loaded. A picture in the history of CSGO, but the ending could have been different.”
Li Zi looked at gla1ve's answer and couldn't help but laugh: "I still like gla1ve's interview before the finals, how domineering it was."
Jack raised his eyebrows: "I understand this. Coach has often told us that self-confidence does not come from the void, but comes from victory after game. Team A has won too much before and is a little conceited."
Perhaps Team A has never realized this. What is taken for granted by some top teams has already made other teams uncomfortable.
But this interview with gla1ve is still very popular.
No longer bloated, he can really take on the title of the world's best conductor.
In the game, his commanding ability is full, and outside the game, he is humble, he praises his opponents, and he can take all the responsibilities on himself.
Immediately afterwards, the reporter asked the last question:
"So is there anything you want to say to the fans of Team A?"
gla1ve replied: "I'm sorry that our performance this time has disappointed you. Our performance in this Major is not as good as before, but it was also because the members of Team A lost some motivation before."
"Now that we have found our opponent, we have a goal in our hearts again. Next, the Little Bees will build a dynasty. We will not let them succeed so easily."
The interview is officially over.
Xu Beifang walked in from outside the door and joked: "gla1ve's harsh words sound like coquettishness."
Xiao Lizi laughed when he heard this.
Indeed, gla1ve’s aggressiveness needs to be strengthened.
Xu Beifang took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and felt refreshed after taking one sip.
"By the way, how was your trial training in G2?" Xu Beifang asked.
After the Major, Li Zi originally planned to return to Finland, but G2 got Xiao Li Zi’s contact information through Xu Beifang, and they took the initiative to invite Li Zi to come for a trial training.
DiCaprio smoothed back his blond hair and said, "It's probably not famous. G2 has a conductor called Nexa, so they don't lack a conductor. They might just want to try something out."
"But I'm not in a hurry. I have to think about it in the offseason."
Jack nodded: "There's really no need to worry, the commander has no shortage of work anyway."
Xu Beifang lightly kicked Jack's shoes: "What are you talking about? There is indeed no shortage of work for the conductor, but it is very difficult to find a good team."
If it's just for work, the conductor can find a job in every transfer period.
But most people who can embark on the path of CSGO career still have some dreams in their hearts.
Xiao Lizi was originally the runner-up commander of the Major. He has both ability and strength. It is impossible that he has no further plans.
So he must wait and see for a while and select a group of teammates with qualified character and strength.
"Don't worry, if you can't decide at that time, you can also ask us to give you some advice." Xu Beifang said to Xiao Lizi, "You know, I know some people in the circle fairly well and can give you some suggestions. "
"I understand that. After all, he is a famous social gangster." Xiao Lizi said with a smile.
Several teams have already contacted Xiao Lizi through Xu Beifei, and he still has a certain understanding of Xu Beifei's connections.
"But it's so fast, another transfer period has arrived." Xiao Lizi said with emotion.
During the last transfer period, he and his ENCE teammates were watching and analyzing the news, taking advantage of everything.
Unexpectedly, this time, he would also become the target of others.
"Beifang, when are you leaving?" Little Lizi turned around and asked.
"The flight this afternoon leaves in two hours."
"I think it's almost over. Work is over. If I don't leave, this vacation will be gone."
Speaking of this, Xu Beifang had a look of pain on his face: "I'm still working. I went to talk about some work yesterday and almost gave me blood pressure."
Xiao Lizi raised his eyebrows: "Is this something I can hear?"
After all, he was there as a guest, not as a member of the Little Bees.
"It's okay, let me tell you something you can listen to." Xu Beifang shared with Xiao Lizi, "Our boss Neo used to make a big deal, saying that he would pay for all the expenses in Berlin, but in the end he didn't pay for the trophy."
"Major trophy still costs money?" Xiao Lizi said that he has no experience of winning a championship and has no idea that such a thing exists.
Xu Beifang quickly explained it to him.
Xiao Lizi also understood.
There is only one Major trophy every year. This trophy is usually kept in the club. If the players want it, they have to communicate with the tournament team and spend money to find a factory that makes the trophy to customize a replica.
"How much does a replica cost? He, a big boss, won't even reimburse you for this?"
"$5,000."
Xiao Lizi didn't hold back: "Let me tell you, the five of you members add up to 25,000 US dollars. The cost of this step is indeed quite a lot."
Xu Beifang shook his head: "The money is a lot or a lot, but it's mainly because Neo is stingy, you know?"
He was very speechless about Neo's stinginess and pretending to be generous every time.
But at least I got myself a salary increase yesterday, which is the only consolation.
After that, Xu Beifang leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.
On the plane back to China in the evening, he had packed all his things, and his work at the club had been arranged, so there would be nothing else to do next.
The impact after the Major ended was spreading bit by bit, and Xu Beifang slowly accepted the fact that he had become a Major champion.
After he was free, he remembered that he still had a system task to receive.
【drop! 】
[Suggested mission: Become a Major champion, difficulty level is 8 stars. After completion, you can get an S+ level treasure chest...]
[The mission has been completed...]
[S+ level treasure chests are being distributed (Major Champion Special Edition)...]
"Do you want to open the treasure chest?"
"yes!"
[The treasure chest has been opened...]
[Congratulations to the host for listening to the advice and the value is +259805...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the copy space - heroism. PS: Does the ending of the story really matter? 】
Xu Beifang looked all the way down, and it seemed that he didn't gain much from this Major.
In fact, he doesn't have much to say anymore, because he is now one of the best professional players in the world, and he already has his own playing system.
Once your personal abilities reach the top, it’s not that easy to improve.
Therefore, the 250,000 persuasion value is not of that great significance to him. On the contrary, it is not as useful as the subsequent copy space may bring to him.
Heroism?
This name makes Xu Beifang a little strange, because he looks more obscure and not as straightforward as the previous copies he drew.
After all, before [Unlimited Death Battle], [Anatomy of a Dane], [One Man in Charge] and even the [Unconscious] that I got not long ago, I can at least vaguely guess what it is.
But this heroism still eluded Xu Beifang.
Since it was elusive, let's feel it.
"Do you want to enter the dungeon - heroism?"
"Yes!"
The picture in front of him was broken, and he came to the familiar simulation space again, but this time, there were some floating modules around him, and some introductions were written on them.
Xu Beifang reached out and clicked the one in front of him.
[Fall of Zeus]
Look to the left.
[Boston Nightmare]
Xu Beifang raised his eyebrows, he probably understood something, and looked to the right.
[The Price of Radicalism]
To the right again - [Fall of Dynasty]
In the Fall of Dynasty, the entire border was green, and Xu Beifang focused on it, and it showed that it had been cleared.
Further back - [The Betrayal of the Prince]
He seemed to understand that this dungeon space seemed to be talking about the battle situation of the Major over the years.
Why did [Fall of Dynasty] show that it had been cleared? Wasn't it because they just crushed Team A in Berlin and let the dynasty of Team A fall?
Xu Beifang thought about it and clicked on [The Price of Radicalism].
[The Price of Radicalism. Explanation: Radicalism is the best knife, but if the blade is not stored, it may hurt yourself. ]
The next second, he appeared in an arena.
His memory went from vague to familiar, and he quickly recalled that this was the UFO Stadium in Katowice.
The scene was noisy, and what appeared in front of him was the scene in the game, and the excited shouts of the English stream commentator were in his ears.
The map was Desert City, and the score was 13:13.
When NAVI used their slow attack to advance to Zone A, they were stuck in the bomb site by ENCE in a very steady way, which made NAVI very anxious.
They were eager to get the kill and win this endgame.
"S1mple's sniper shot down Allu who was returning to the police's defense, but Sergej and xseveN in the phone booth killed everyone else, leaving S1mple alone to face this 1V4 endgame!"
"S1mple's sniper shot killed Leo, and there was not much time left, but he switched to AK and shot the CT behind the police!"
"This guy is completely at another level, he can also plant the bomb! He threw a flash bomb and got the last CT position, which was enough for him. He picked up the most trusted AWP again, but at what cost!"
"Sniper repeek out! No!"
Even after seeing this endgame again, Xu Beifang still felt sorry for S1mple. This wave was really a pity.
S1mple's playing style is aggressive, but his aggressive playing style made him lose the shot that he shouldn't have lost the most.
Looking at the regretful scene appearing again, Xu Beifang couldn't help but sigh.
But the next second, the system popped up a prompt:
[Please choose your player! 】
The final photos of several people in 2018 NAVI appeared in front of Xu Beifang.
Xu Beifang thought for a while, since it was S1mple's regret, let's try to see if it can be completed from the perspective of a sniper.
He quickly came to S1mple's perspective.
From his perspective, he already knew the direction of the plot in advance, and he could easily shoot some sniper rifles similar to the predicted type.
But when it really came to the game, it was completely different.
I don't know if it was the effect of the system, he only remembered the information passed by himself and his teammates.
After advancing quietly, Xu Beifang carried a big sniper and entered the A site.
Time was running out, he shouted in the voice: "Hold the police home, I will directly put the police home bag, don't let them disturb me!"
After that, Xu Beifang put down a short box bag.
The thunder bag was successfully put down, but the electronic brother and others were also killed by the opponent.
It came to a very difficult 1V4 endgame.
As soon as Xu Beifang put down the thunder bag, he immediately set up the police home.
The enemy on the right side of the police house peeked out, and Xu Beifang opened fire with a sniper rifle instantly.
"—— Bang!"
The sniper rifle hit Allu's chest and took his life.
But what suffocated him was that xseveN, who was next to the telephone booth, also pulled out. He had just fired with a sniper rifle and was now in a state of stiffness while pulling the bolt.
Xu Beifang tried his best to jump to the dead point, but was pierced to death by the opponent's AUG in the air.
Looking at the scene of the opponent quietly unpacking the package, Xu Beifang sighed.
Sure enough, even if he switched to that position, it would not be so easy to win.
He was immersed in the situation at this moment, and was also fully pressured by ENCE with props. He had no room to fight back, and there were too few opportunities to operate.
In addition, his understanding of the sniper rifle was not as good as S1mple, and he did not grasp the position selection and the timing of the sniper rifle very well, which led to his failure to win the endgame.
Xu Beifang did not simulate again immediately, but reviewed his own operations in his mind.
What made him brighten up was that the moment he had this thought, the screen of the round he had just played appeared in front of him.
He analyzed whether he and NAVI had made mistakes in the game after getting certain information.
In fact, in a high-intensity confrontation, compared with the problems of individual handling, the decision of the team is more fatal.
For example, in this round just now, there was a problem with the timing of putting down the thunder pack.
Before putting down the mine pack, you should first reduce the opponent's number, or attack the policeman's house as soon as possible to occupy the policeman's position.
Also, it was the mistakes in decision-making in the early stage that led to huge pressure in the later stage.
NAVI's advancing formation style of play is overall too slow, resulting in little room for maneuver in the endgame.
If you push forward and have a numerical advantage, you can defend back very comfortably.
In addition, the opponent may run out of props in the middle and late stages, and their overall advantage is huge.
But if you can't get a head in a head-on exchange, it will be quite a headache.
Different systems of play have their own worries. Only by being in it can you gain a deeper understanding.
Sure enough, they still had stereotypes about this style of play before. Slow constipation attack is also beneficial, but the premise is that the props can be exchanged to defeat the opponent, and the head-on gun can be won.
Moreover, when it comes to the use of sniper rifles, he is indeed lacking compared to the top ones.
The arrival of this copy is an unexpected surprise.
"Oh!!" He wandered in the simulated copy for a long time, and when he came out, he heard Jack exclaim, "A big news is coming now?"
Xiao Lizi, who was scrolling through his cell phone, looked at him in surprise.
"The God of War has left the team." He nuzzled at Xu Beifang, "It's NEO. He was kicked by Faze. Not only that, he also got wet. He went to NAVI."
Shox, who had just walked into the room, immediately widened his eyes: "It's so exciting, then who will be Faze's next command and sniper?"
Xu Beifang chuckled: "Niko, he has been both a commander and a sniper. Isn't this just the right position?"
Shox was initially shocked when he heard NIKO, but soon he realized that Xu Beifang was talking nonsense.
Xu Beifang picked up the coke on the table and took another sip, and then shouted: "I have a big news for you. Faze is in contact with Leng Shen, and then they also found a young general. This wave of Galaxy Battleship is going to be big. Changed blood."
"Young general, who is he?"
"Broky."
There was silence in the room. After a while, Shox finally said: "This guy can really play in the front line?"
Broky is quite famous in the circle. After all, this guy's perspective is really like hanging on the wall.
The props are thrown around, the preview is random, and the timing is outrageous.
If you cover the ID, you can just click on the principle of no doubt.
Xu Beifang smiled: "Be more tolerant, and the people that NIKO values have a little confidence in him."
Apart from anything else, NIKO's vision is still very scary. Many of the rising stars he values have already made a name for themselves in the competition.
shox took a breath: "It's a bit scary. If it's as you said, this new battleship looks very powerful."
He turned to look at Xu Beifang: "It will be a bit difficult for us to successfully win the Grand Slam!"
Xiao Lizi answered from the side: "I'm still here, how confident am I? After the offseason, be careful I fuck you all!"
Xu Beifang saw the bald coach waving to him at the door. He immediately picked up the luggage that had been prepared at the door, and then waved to everyone in the room:
"Well, brothers, see you after the offseason!"
…
