CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 438 From today on, you are the challengers!
After leading the whole audience to the rhythm, the host then moved the stage to the next part, "Next, let's invite the CEO of IEM to present the Grand Slam awards to the members of Little Bees!"

"Let us congratulate them."

Amidst the applause, the current CEO of IEM walked onto the stage with a hostess.

Xu Beifang still had an impression of him. Although they had little contact on weekdays, this CEO gave a speech at the opening in Katowice, which left a deep impression on him.

Jack was also looking forward to it. They had discussed before the game whether there would be some additional awards after winning the Intel Grand Slam.

Now seeing Carmac walking towards them, he stood on tiptoes directly towards the tray in the hostess's hand.

He stood up and saw some of the content, and his eyes were blinded instantly.

"Fuck! Gold bars!!" He widened his eyes and whispered to Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang was also shocked. Then he looked over and found that they were indeed a few glittering gold bars.

He turned and looked at Jack, both of them had excitement in their eyes.

Although they are all financially free, those are gold bars!
Looking at the looks of Xu Beifang and Jack, apEX couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You two idiots, how can this be true?"

He also saw the size of the gold bar. The 'gold bar' brought by the etiquette lady was no longer a gold bar, but a gold brick!

iem is not that generous. After all, if those five pieces were all pure gold, their total value would exceed the Grand Slam's $100 million.

What are these two idiots thinking about?

Shox said cheerfully: "Just make them happy. It's just a souvenir after all. The surface may be gold-plated."

While a few people were chatting, IEM's CEO Carmac was already walking towards them.

Seeing Carmac extending his hand, Xu Beifang shook hands with him briefly.

Carmac was wearing a neat blue suit and said with a smile: "Nice, I know you. You have broken countless records of our IEM, including the kill records in BO1 and BO3, the rating record for a single game, the highest average rating record in the arena, and now you have even broken the record for winning the Intel Grand Slam."

"You're a monster!"

Carmac knows all the records broken by Xu Beifang.

As the CEO of IEM, he also attaches great importance to the establishment of his own competition, although IEM does not only have CSGO.

But in Europe and the United States, CSGO is always the preferred one. Countless people like it from the bottom of their hearts and hope that the whole environment will become better.

He is also very concerned about the development of the CSGO professional scene.

This guy Xu Beifang has appeared in his field of vision since 19. In Cologne, he showed such a big momentum that it almost blinded him. It was hard for him not to pay attention to him.

In addition to the explosion of this guy's personal abilities, the ratings of IEM have been increasing several times. So no matter from an individual perspective or as the CEO of IEM, Carmac likes this guy very much.

"I just tried my best to play at my best level." Facing carmac's praise, Xu Beifang accepted it calmly.

Carmac also smiled. He liked the confidence and straightforwardness that Xu Beifang exuded.

Then he took the medal prepared by IEM from the side, Xu Beifang leaned forward slightly, and then he put the medal on Xu Beifang.

"I hope you can perform better in the next IEM event." Carmac encouraged at last.

The etiquette lady at the side also handed Xu Beifang the "gold brick" he had been longing for.

Xu Beifang took it and admired it, and found that the name of the IEM Grand Slam was engraved on the gold brick, but there was no bee or Xu Beifang's ID engraved below.

But he didn't care, because this gold brick would be his from now on.

After getting the gold brick, Xu Beifang subconsciously wanted to imitate what was shown in the TV series and take a bite of the gold. However, when he held it in his hand, he felt that the weight was a little off, so he concluded that it was a gold-plated piece.

Just when he was about to complain about IEM's excessive concern for face, the host walked towards them.

When he came to Little Bee, he suddenly turned around and asked, "This was a wonderful final. Little Bee brought a feast of shooting skills. As for the player who performed the best, I think you all have the answer in your hearts. Now let you shout out his name with cheers..."

After that, he handed the microphone towards the stands.

"Nice!!"

The host's words inspired everything, driving a wave of joy across the venue.

The audience in the audience excitedly raised their mobile phones and shouted out Xu Beifang's ID.

This is not surprising, but Xu Beifang is still very grateful for the support of his "family" and is waving and interacting with them at this moment.

His performance today was not as impressive as in the previous few games, because Team A played cautiously enough and did not give him too much room to play.

But he successfully seized many of the only opportunities.

He is the one who drives the team's overall rhythm, and he is indeed the one who performs the best. In addition, this is his home court, so he can receive cheers from the whole audience.

This is not surprising.

But he still thanked the audience for their support.

The host waved his hand and said, "As you expected, it's exactly nice. Congratulations!"

The next second, Xu Beifang's final makeup photo appeared on the big screen in the venue. In the picture, Xu Beifang's body was slightly tilted, his eyes looking straight ahead with a firm look.

Even though the exposed upper body is covered by the team uniform, one can still feel the power from the outline.

The right side of the screen gives Xu Beifang's post-match data in this bo5.

id:nice
Kills/assists/deaths: 80/5/40
Average damage per game: 112.2
Not free rate: 84.2%
Tactical score (rating 2.0): 1.74
Where are you frying fish?

There were exclamations at the scene, and iem's ​​official live broadcast room was also in an uproar.

[This 2KD ratio, is this guy really a human being? 】

[This is from Figure 1c to Figure 3. Team A is all numb.]

[How come there is a boss who is in the second stage throughout the whole process! ]

[This is the strength of Shi Yitu. No one can match his level now.]

[This year's top 1 has already been locked in, which is really a bit scary]

[After Cologne's enlightenment, the others can only compete for the honor of being the top 2]

[It really overwhelms the world]

[Strength of fault]

The host gave a round of applause, and then the etiquette lady came on stage and handed Xu Beifang an MVP medal box.

"Nice player, you just won several honors. How do you feel now?" As usual, the host came over to conduct a post-match interview.

Xu Beifang put away the MVP medal box and casually stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

Many contestants in the stands couldn't help but twitch their eyes when they saw Xu Beifang's action.

This is the MVP medal!
Please respect me a little!

But for Xu Beifang, he has quite a lot of MVP medal boxes, and this is not the first time he has won one, so he certainly doesn't take it that seriously.

Xu Beifang took the microphone, his tone revealing happiness, "I'm in a good mood. Before the game, I said I would bring Team A back to reality."

He paused here, and then revealed the truth that he was a fan of the machine: "Xu Beifang, he did it!"

The audience was amused by his answer and burst into laughter.

At this moment, the barrage in the official live broadcast room of iem was also filled with "Xu Beifang, he did it".

"Team A is actually a very respectable team. Their emergence has provided great help to the rise of the entire CSGO industry. Even our team building is based on their system."

This has to be acknowledged. Although Team A is very selfish in their professional philosophy, they established the 'Team A system' and ended the disorderly state of CSGO. This provided great help to the entire industry, even if this help was not voluntary on their part.

"But now, we have built something new on top of their system, and if they continue to stand still, they will become a thing of the past."

These words may seem arrogant, but many veteran players understand that this is actually happening.

Team A's playing style is still a textbook style of play, but the problem is that the Little Bees have stepped out of the textbook and created something completely new.

Xu Beifang was holding a microphone and strolling casually on the stage. "When we shook hands after the game just now, Durant told me not to be careless because they will put us under a microscope later."

"We have now become the strongest in the world. To be frank, we have no rivals for the time being."

"It's hard to conquer the world, and it's even harder to keep it. From now on, other teams will put us under a microscope for research." Xu Beifang grinned when he said this, "Then let them study us!"

"Go ahead and study, go ahead and become stronger, and then use all the methods you can think of to defeat us. I look forward to that moment coming."

When Xu Beifang said this, his eyes were firm, with an evil smile on his lips, and the confidence in his tone was overflowing.

Netizens once gave Xu Beifang a nickname called BOSS.

Now, against the background of these words, Xu Beifang seemed to have really become a big boss.

However, unlike the brave warrior who turned into a dragon, the BOSS in front of them seemed to want to enjoy the game and enjoy a more intense and powerful confrontation.

He enjoyed the stage immensely.

There was constant cheering at the scene. In e-sports competitions, Xu Beifang's personality is so likable.

ApEX looked at Xu Beifang, who seemed to be radiating light on the stage, and felt a little emotional. Shox took a breath and said, "This is a direct map cannon."

apEX smiled: "I just like his fearlessness. Besides, if Beifang didn't say this, wouldn't other teams study us?"

"He just wants to put some pressure on himself so that in the next few months, his desire for the championship will become stronger."

However, this is also Xu Beifang's judgment of his own strength.

At this stage, they are far superior to other teams in terms of strength.

There is no team that can compete with them yet.

However, all teams will target them for some time to come.

That is for sure!
……

"Many people online are discussing your post-match interview. Did you see it?"

Sitting in the car on the way back, Jack asked Xu Beifang curiously.

Xu Beifang shrugged, "Of course I know. It would be strange if they didn't discuss this. This is exactly what I want."

Now the Little Bees are already the clear number one, and Xu Beifang's personal abilities have yet to be matched by any rival in the entire circle.

He has no rivals in terms of strength, and has already won majors and grand slams. It seems like he has lost his goal.

However, he still enjoyed this event and the passionate game with his opponents. Naturally, he had to use some provocative methods to stimulate the fighting spirit of these guys.

The effect is obvious. Even kennyS tweeted that he would start practicing more, which is enough to show the horror of this post-match interview.

"I feel like we're going to be under a lot of pressure next! They have to watch our videos 24 hours a day." Jack looked at Xu Beifang's indifferent expression and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

What he was thinking about now was the scene where other teams were frantically studying their videos. The opponent's research was like a huge spider web, as if it could swallow them up in the next second.

Xu Beifang rolled his eyes. "This is how professional competitions work. Other teams only need to study the videos and formulate tactics based on the players, but we have to consider a lot more."

"Indeed..." Jack listened to Xu Beifang's words and nodded subconsciously, then he quickly reacted.

"What the hell?" He felt like he was being CPUed.

Xu Beifang ignored him and took out his cell phone. He then found all kinds of messages pouring in.

Various acquaintances in the circle sent him congratulations.

Perhaps it was because he returned to his alma mater last time, many classmates even congratulated him this time.

Xu Beifang replied one by one. By the time he finished sorting out the information, the vehicle had arrived at the destination. Xu Beifang put away his phone and started helping to light the barbecue.

After telling his brother about the subsequent schedule, today's barbecue has arrived. While eating barbecue, Xu Beifang browsed the forum to see what netizens said about today's final.

Thanks to 5E setting up a competition discussion area, he no longer has to wander around Tieba and various max platforms.

You can check it directly in 5E's post-game discussion.

At a glance, Xu Beifang saw the page belonging to his team jersey, which showed a score of 9.8, and below it showed that 4396 people had participated in the rating.

In addition to apEX, the overall score of Little Bee is also very high.

As for apEX, it is normal to get this score. In today's final, he did not turn into "Bean Victory Buddha" and did not play any particularly brilliant tactics in command decision-making, so he only got 5.9 points.

Xu Beifang glanced at the post-match comments section.

[gla1ve: The dynasty still exists! (Open your eyes, wake up from the dream)]

[I can accept Team A losing, but I can’t accept losing by being shutout. I really don’t know what device is doing]

[Before the game, everyone said that this team had the best individual ability, but after a few rounds they didn’t know who they were]

[I really like what Team A’s fans said: The other team is a popular team]

[North has become the top player everyone expected]

[The North has reached that place again]

[The post-match interview is really crazy, from today on, you are the challengers! ]

[This time the A-Team dynasty is really over]

Looking at the post-match comments, a smile gradually appeared on Xu Beifang's face.

He was very satisfied with his own and his team's performance in the final.

Although netizens criticized apEX for its poor command and shooting skills.

But apEX can use decision-making to allow them to have a normal, or even advantageous, gun battle, which is enough.

To be honest, the data really cannot reflect the role of apEX.

He put down his phone with satisfaction, and heard XTQZZZ clapping his hands: "Everyone did an excellent job today. I am proud of your performance today!"

"Everyone performed very well tonight. No one made any serious mistakes. This is the top team in my mind. We have to move in this direction in the future."

In XTQZZZ's understanding, future first-line teams will move in this direction, and everyone will rely on communication and cooperation among the players. In a top-level game, there will not be too many mistakes.

"Then let's talk about our next schedule. After this game, we won't have any major tournaments in the second half of the year. After returning to Paris, we will have an online tournament, and then it will be Christmas, and everyone will almost be on vacation."

XTQZZZ looked at Xu Beifang and said, "Beifang, it depends on whether you want to go back or not. If you don't plan to go back, then you can just stay in China and play online. I am confident in you."

"Then there was shox's decision to retire, which I think you guys probably know about."

Zaiwu said in surprise: "Are you really going to quit?"

Shox had been eating skewers, and nodded when he heard Zaiwu's words: "Yeah, I really plan to run away. Now that I have received enough honors and I am not young anymore, it is about time for me to run away."

Shox is not as good as the two young men Xu Beifang and Zaiwu. He has been active on the field before and wants to prove to the audience that he can still play.

Then after coming to the Little Bees, I won the major, the grand slam, and most of the honors.

He is not particularly short of money.

He didn't have as strong a desire for games as Xu Beifang, so it was just right for him to step back.

apEX advised: "Brother, play with me for two years. We'll play together for two years. I'm almost ready to run away."

Shox nodded: "Okay, let me play the command position."

apEX immediately shook his head: "That won't work. If I try to shoot a rifle at my current level, I will be criticized by the audience."

His rifle skills are actually pretty good, but with Xu Beifang in the team, the contrast would be too big.

What's more, he chose to transform into a conductor in order to prolong his career life.

"Then you should retire peacefully." apEX said with a smile.

After listening to his old brother's merciless words, Shox punched ApEX directly: "You guys are really trying to persuade me."

ApEX was not angry after taking a deliberate punch, and said with a smile: "Don't I understand you? If you really want to quit, no one can stop you."

Although Shox seems to be laughing and joking all the time, he is quite decisive when it comes to making a decision.

Zaiwu pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I feel like you're in pretty good shape, you should be able to fight."

Shox shook his head: "You also said, status."

"My aim and overall level are actually a bit behind now. What really made me want to quit was the encounter with Ropz in FaceIt. Ropz completely suppressed me in terms of awareness." He sighed, "Young people will really tell you when it's time to retire."

The room soon fell into silence. The teammates who had been together day and night had decided to leave. Although not now, they still felt a little melancholy.

After a long while, Shox finally broke the silence: "But don't worry, I won't run away without saying a word like Dou Gun brother."

The departure of Shox was considered the most unsuccessful transfer in CS:GO. Shox would never do such a disgusting thing.

"I also know that it may be difficult to find someone recently. I have thought about it and I will wait until the next transfer period comes. You will have time to find someone then."

After the IEMBJ competition is over, Christmas is about to begin in Europe and all teams will enter a rest period. Then around February, people in the north will also have to go back to celebrate the holidays, so it is difficult for them to find people for the time being.

We have to wait until the first Major in the second half of the year before the transfer market really opens up, and only then will we have the opportunity to strengthen the team.

"Besides, I have to see the quality of the newcomers, otherwise I won't feel at ease if I step down."

He should at least consider whether the member who will take over his position is qualified. Otherwise, when he retires, it will be too painful to watch his juniors get sick and lose games every day.

Xu Beifang smiled and said, "It's already been decided, so there's no point in saying more."

"Okay, let's enjoy our celebration party tonight and enjoy our victory!"

He raised his hands and cheered, "We are the Grand Slam winners today!! Come on, brothers!"

Hearing this, the others also laughed. No matter what, they had worked hard for this Grand Slam for a long time, and now that they had successfully won the championship, they could enjoy the results.

As they were chatting and laughing, they bumped into each other, and the reflection of the wine showed smiling faces.
