CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 443 Extra 4. Nice: "I'll be the commander!"

NIKO accepted Xu Beifang's invitation, but at the end he still raised his own questions:

"Why did you come back after all these years?"

Xu Beifang's explanation was that he wanted to rest at that time.

But in fact, the reason is a little hard to explain.

At first, he was bored with being in jail at COL and really wanted to take a break, but he didn't want to take that long at first.

The reason why he was able to rest for so long was that his living conditions had changed.

Secondly, he felt that the CSGO professional arena was no longer interesting.

Maybe he was not the only one who felt this way, many people in the circle must have had this feeling at the time.

Because at that time, the CSGO professional arena had entered its final stage.

Even if the resort agency actively updated several new service maps, it could not change the status of the entire arena.

After all, this game has been around for more than 20 years, and under the leadership of big names like Xu Beifang and ropz, the depth of the entire profession is constantly being developed.

The tactics and playing styles that have a high tolerance rate and a wide range of applications on the field have all been researched.

There's nothing new going on.

This has resulted in competitions in professional arenas becoming more formulaic.

Both sides make their own moves in the early stages, and after a wave of exchange of fire, they start exploding bombs, and then enter the endgame or gun-saving state.

In addition, the bunch of old bastards in the professional arena have more or less made up for their regrets and have gradually won honors, so everyone's fighting spirit is generally not high.

Their fighting was boring and it was painful for the audience to watch.

Xu Beifang's condition has been maintained pretty well. He feels that after he returns, he will be able to improve his level as long as he goes through a period of high-intensity confrontation.

But the competition was too boring and he had no desire to go back, so he just stayed at home and enjoyed the scenery.

This state continued until the announcement of CS2. Everyone fought for the last Major of CSGO, and countless veterans returned to the stage to start their last dance.

But Xu Beifang is more on the sidelines. He is somewhat different from those old guys. He is 26 years old now and still in his prime.

As long as the subsequent CS2 is interesting enough, he will be able to return to the professional arena for a few years.

Then came the arrival of the new version of CS2.

The range of smoke bombs and the atmosphere of incendiary bombs have been expanded, the overall feel of guns has changed, the map model and pixels have been reset, and the victory has been changed from 16 rounds to 13 rounds.

The entire game has undergone a radical change.

I have to say that although Valve likes to take vacations, they still have a lot of ideas about games.

It’s just that when CS2 first came out, because it was a half-finished product, many CS players had to switch painfully.

However, with subsequent updates, both large and small, CS2 has gradually met everyone's expectations.

In the professional arena, countless changes have also taken place with the arrival of CS2.

For example, the little boy named 'Donk' who suddenly emerged almost tied Xu Beifang's previous record in Cologne last year. In addition, Donk once said in an interview that he was his idol and he often watched Xu Beifang's game videos to learn from him, so netizens joked that Donk was "from the Rocket Class of Nice Academy."

Nowadays, donk is also the brightest new star on the court, and he has also achieved what Xu Beifang did back then - a cliff-like lead in data.

However, there is a prerequisite for Donk's cliff-like lead, and that is that it refers specifically to riflemen.

Because in today's competition, it is a situation of two kings competing against each other.

Xu Beifang's former good partner Zaiwu is still able to compete with him.

If that were all, he would just feel sad that a tough guy has emerged in the professional arena, but he would not have the idea of ​​going back.

What really made him want to return to the court was the outburst of a group of young people led by Youth Storm Mouz on the court.

The new generation's strongest commander, siuhy, brought his instruction manual and helped little Jimmy, Baolan and even the criticized torzsi win several championships.

On the NAVI side, Leo also realized his dream in the first CS2 Major and became the new Major champion.

In addition, the CS2 version is gradually becoming stable at this stage, and the transfer period has arrived.

Xu Beifang felt that now was the best time for him to return!
So after confirming the idea of ​​returning, he started recruiting people.

It seems that he put together a team casually, but in fact he also went through rigorous analysis.

First of all, there was a conflict between NIKO and the club.

In fact, the relationship between NIKO and G2 has always been very good in the past two years, but with the departure of G2's former CEO Kalusi, the G2 club likes to do some useless things.

In addition, during the off-season, he did not take the initiative to approach NIKO to discuss contract renewal.

NIKO has complained to Xu Beifang several times before.

Xu Beifang was already preparing to return, so he included NIKO in the lineup. As long as NIKO joined, his lineup would not lack firepower.

JKS is a very good player in the free agent position, and he has played for G2 before.

Although he was eventually abandoned by G2, NIKO still misses that time very much.

As for Brother Ji, his main strength is his fighting ability.

As for the sniper at the end, he didn't plan to use a sniper in the original lineup, or he really planned to look for S1mple at the beginning.

But he thought about it carefully at that time.

S1mple, NIKO, JKS, Elige.

If these four IDs are really taken out, they will definitely be synonymous with combat effectiveness.

But if you encounter a situation where you are unfavorable, it will be fun.

When entering a game where the team is facing an unfavorable situation, S1mple likes to put some pressure on his teammates.

NIKO likes to put pressure on himself.

JKS chose to turn off the microphone.

Elige shut himself in.

What the hell is this!
Although the fighting power on paper is strong, after all, a game requires five people to play together.

So Xu Beifang chose to remove S1mple and selected a guy among his acquaintances who had a vacancy in his contract and could liven up the atmosphere.

Danking came into his sight.

On the one hand, I really want to play CS with him, and on the other hand, it's because he has a talent for livening up the atmosphere.

With him in the team, and Xu Beifang taking the initiative to mobilize the team, they were not so introverted even in an unfavorable situation.

Now that everything is ready, he is looking forward to the expressions of netizens when they see their lineup.

……

Netizens are still quite looking forward to the transfer period in the first half of 2023.

They all like their teams to be strengthened and their favorite players to go to the right team and shine.

After all, in the first transfer into CS2, Shiro, the former Gambit player who switched to C9, proved with practical actions what it means that choice is more important than hard work.

Shiro's experience is also quite complicated.

He was previously a member of the Gambit team's youth training team. Then, because the Gambit main team played so badly, the entire main team was disbanded, and their youth training team took over directly.

When CSGO entered the online era, this group of young players shone for a long time.

Let's just put it that way.

At their peak, they could beat NAVI in two BO3s a day.

You have to know that at that time, NAVI was still led by S1mple.

However, the problem of the young players was their mentality. After they actually entered the offline game, they failed to show their due level and were eventually defeated by NAVI in the Stockholm Major.

Later, with the impact of the war, Gambit was affected by politics and was subsequently acquired by the North American C9 team.

Later, because there had been no results for too long, conflicts arose within the team and Shiro could not bear it anymore. Eventually, he transferred to Green Dragon during the CS2 period, and then, under the leadership of Donk, he won several championships in a row.

He proved with his actions what "choice is more important than effort" means.

Therefore, during this transfer period, many people hope that their favorite players can learn from Shiro.

However, the first news of the transfer period blinded their eyes.

That is, Heroic and Team A made a substitution.

If it was just a replacement, it wouldn't shock many people.

The main reason is that two young players in the Heroic team, stavn and jabbi, asked the management to kick Cadian out, otherwise they did not want to renew the contract.

The two young players, stavn and Jabbi, were almost brought up by the veteran Cadian. This wave of attacks can be regarded as a backstab from the "disciple". No one will have a good impression of such players.

But if that was all, everyone would just be shocked.

What happened next was that the management kicked Cadian out, and the two young players still did not renew their contracts.

This directly broke the management's defense, and they directly exposed the matter of these two people on the official Twitter. Fans in the circle directly went to the Twitter of these two players and started to attack, because this real-life version of the farmer and the snake is really disgusting.

Then Col's parent company acquired Faze.

Xu Beifang was shocked when he heard the news. He originally thought that this wave of building space battleships was good enough, but he didn't expect that Col Company thought more.

I want a space battleship, I want a galactic battleship too!

Then Cadian transferred to Liquid, the director also returned to Liquid, and Meizi joined Little Bees...

As for gossip, there are quite a lot of them.

The largest number is on the oil team.

Because the Saudis plan to host the E-Sports World Cup next year, they have also spent a lot of money to set up a CS club.

Their lineup hasn't even been finalized yet, but they've already started spending money.

The general meaning is that no matter what your previous salary was, I will at least double it for you if you come to me.

If you feel it is not enough, then benchmark against the highest salary in the industry.

Of course, since the person in charge of the team is Zonic, the former coach of Team A and the post-Vitality era, he rarely extends an olive branch.

Only true super players will receive this treatment when they join.

The entry of the Oil Team has made the news of the entire transfer period more confusing.

For example, Xu Beifang himself saw that he, NIKO, S1mple, device, m0nesy and even donk all had the idea of ​​transferring to the Oil Team.

Xu Beifang couldn't handle this.

He also received the message.

However, as the transfer period comes to an end.

NIKO's delay in confirming the news has made many people anxious.

Whether staying in G2 or going to the Oil Team, there has to be an explanation.

……

NIKO, who was at the center of their attention, after careful consideration, followed his inner choice and came to the COL base to meet up with other members.

NIKO thought he had been considering it for a long time and might be the last to arrive.

However, he didn't expect that after he and Brother Ji had been happy for several days, Xu Beifang and other talents arrived late.

As soon as they met, NIKO saw the pink-haired dancing goblin in front of him waving at him excitedly: "Hi! NIKO!"

"Hello, hello." Watching the pink-haired dancing goblin pick up her phone and start taking a selfie, she calmly adjusted the angle and posed.

This smooth and flowing scene made Danking sigh, "Is this the calmness of the older generation of artists?"

NIKO didn't understand Chinese, but when he saw Danking put away his phone, he asked considerately, "Do you need an autograph?"

Danking finally understood now, it turned out that NIKO regarded him as a fan!
One-stop service for taking photos, group photos and autographs, right?

He looked up unwillingly and asked, "Is he so unknown?"

Xu Beifang consoled him, "Maybe it's because of your pink hair that he didn't recognize you. You are still very famous."

Danking shook his head: "I said I would start from scratch when joining a new team. I dyed my hair on purpose, but I was careless in the end."

Xu Beifang also introduced it, and after mentioning the ID, NIKO also remembered it.

After all, Danking appeared in many of Xu Beifang’s live broadcasts, so he still had an impression of him.

A few people chatted casually and soon walked into Col's base.

After Danking entered Col, he looked at everything around him with wide eyes, like a person who had never seen the world.

But no one else in the room said anything.

After all, that was how they felt when they first came here.

Col's base is exceptionally grand.

There is a cafe, fruit area, game area, trophy display area in the hall, and there are even quite a few Col employees playing PS5 and the like on the projection. The whole space is very large and there are plenty of equipment.

Xu Beifang said: "When we are tired from training, we can come down and play around."

Danking's mask of pain came out: "What a miserable life I had in Tianlu before!"

The equipment at the Col base was indeed luxurious, and Xu Beifang was also shocked when he first arrived.

As long as they can think of recreational facilities, such as switch, PS5, simulation racing equipment, arcade equipment, pool table...

"Just experience it slowly later." Xu Beifang patted Danking on the shoulder, then had a private chat with his boss on the phone.

Soon I took them one by one to negotiate with the boss.

His own contract has always been with Col, and now he just needs to renew it, but it took some time to review the contract later.

Over the past few days, the members of Col have gradually become familiar with each other.

While eating in the base restaurant, Danking couldn't help asking, "NIKO, didn't you play CS with your cousin Hunter before? Didn't Hunter keep you?"

NIKO smiled bitterly: "If I can, I will certainly choose to play with him, but I have already reached my peak and my condition is declining. I don't have many years left on the court. I must find a team that can give me the motivation to fight hard."

Although G2 has m0nesy there, two output points are not enough in a real top-level confrontation.

Hunter's performance is not stable enough now. Hooxi is a good commander, but his shooting skills are too poor, which leads to G2's lack of frontal firepower.

Until now, he still doesn't understand why JKS was kicked out. Obviously, JKS is a very good libero, at least much better than nexa as a libero.

There was no future for him if he stayed in G2, so he had to find his own way out.

Although his brother is good at CS, he still longs for the championship.

He doesn't want to be the runner-up again and again.

Except for Danking, who he is not very familiar with, he is quite aware of the strength of the other players in Col's current lineup.

He also felt that this lineup could make a name for itself.

When the others heard NIKO's answer, they almost understood it. Except for Elige, everyone else had the same idea.

After being kicked out by G2, JKS received offers from other teams, but he wanted to join a first-tier team because he knew he was getting older and would not have the chance to start from the second tier.

Danking also understood that it was impossible for him to make a name for himself in Asia, so he was invited by his brothers.

He wants to progress so much!

Brother Ji’s case is relatively simple, as his contract was originally with Col.

You can't run away even if you want to, what's more.

Does he need to run? He is lucky to be able to get into this lineup.

Now that the contracts are almost done, they are about to start training.

JKS was eating steak when he suddenly looked up at Xu Beifang. "By the way, Beifang, who will command this lineup?"

He also suddenly remembered that there was no particularly outstanding commander in this lineup.

Elige tentatively asked, "How about no command structure?"

After entering CS2, and with all his teammates being veterans, he felt that he could win by relying on everyone's adaptability and established tactics.

"No finger!"

"What on earth are you thinking about, Beifang? You called a group of us gunmen over here, but without a commander, how are we going to fight against those gunmen on the front line?" NIKO stomped his feet and glared at Xu Beifang.

Xu Beifang smiled calmly: "Haha, it's very simple! I can just give the orders!"

After saying this, Xu Beifang's leadership qualities were no longer hidden and were revealed.

"I used to be the battle commander and tactical designer of Little Bee!"

In an instant, the room was silent again.

Xu Beifang was wearing a blue and white battle suit, with flying hair and a smile on his face, as if he was back on that stage.

His eyes were full of determination, and he suddenly chanted:

"I knew the game was difficult at an early age, but I still hoped to be able to swim among the clouds!"

"I'm as fast as lightning, and I'm alone in the sea of ​​guns!"

"Everyone says the commander is in tears, but I am a man of courage with a gun!"

"Today, the sword is pointing to the command position, and the victory over beans, shouts and others is even greater!"

At this moment, the top gunman, who had become the grave of gunmen by breaking the command, finally took the first step in his return to CS.

……

PS: I’m a little crazy, don’t talk, I’m grilling…
