Chapter 118 Big Cousin: I gradually understand everything.
LANXESS Arena, backstage, Faze team player lounge.
Sitting in front of the big screen in the lounge, everyone in Faze was also watching the match between Vitality and Astralis.
My eldest cousin is familiar with NAVI, but recently Vitality seems a bit unfamiliar.
"karrigan, have you seen it? On the map of Scorching Sand City, Vitality's main sniper seems to have been replaced by ZywOo."
"This shouldn't be right? What's going on? It's completely different from what we imagined before? Logically speaking, with Aether's current state, there is no need to let ZywOo resist the sniper rifle again."
"Even if you look at this round, it's already on the defensive side. Aether obviously has the money to snipe, but it still uses M4A1 to defend."
RobbaN, the coach in the team, was very puzzled.
During these five days, Faze spent half the time studying the opponent NAVI, and the other half the time studying the opponent Vitality.
In all the previous games, Aether was the sniper on any map. And Faze's research and layout of Vitality were mostly based on Qin Feng's sniper rifle.
But now, does Vitality want ZywOo to return to the main Ani position?
"Yeah, I saw it." The eldest cousin frowned and murmured, "Although ZywOo's sniper rifle and Aether's sniper rifle both eat information, there are still big differences in various habits and position selection.
.”
"The key is that ZywOo has already proven himself as a sniper, but Aether has not proven himself as a free agent. Vitality boldly gave up on the newly established system and let ZywOo take on the main role.
spy?"
"What do you think of Aether, ropz in this position now?"
The eldest cousin subconsciously looked at ropz, the free agent in Faze's team.
The game on the map of Scorching Sand City is already halfway through. As for Aether's performance as a free agent, the person with the most say in the team is undoubtedly ropz, the talented young man from Estonia.
"To be honest, you can't really tell much from this map."
"The main reason is that the difference in finishing strength between the two teams is relatively large. Farlig's sniper rifle was also suppressed by ZywOo, and Vitality played too smoothly."
ropz hesitated for a moment and continued: "But the current Aether reminds me vaguely of a player."
"They may not be consistent in terms of playing style or position selection, but they are definitely the best in the world in terms of feedback and information acquisition for the team."
"What's even scarier is Vitality's on-the-spot adaptability. I even feel that both Aether and Vitality have been improving their playing styles in this game."
The eldest cousin was perked up: "Who do you think Aether's playing style is like? We might be able to use your judgment to arrange some tactics against Vitality accordingly."
ropz nodded and gave his guess.
"How should I put it? In the last few rounds of the first half, I saw that Aether's style seemed a bit like Olaf's."
"Look carefully. In the first few rounds, Aether didn't actually get too much information. He just harassed and lied to ensure that he wouldn't die."
"Although this choice is considered safe, it does not pose much of a threat to Astralis. The outcome of the round depends on whether Vitality's frontal firepower can support them in breaking through the pack."
"However, in the following rounds, Aether gave up the harassment and often took the initiative to obtain information."
"Aether uses his personal ability to exchange numbers with the opponent and helps Vitality collect the opponent's defensive information. Only then apEX will direct and formulate the next offensive tactics. This is why Vitality's offense seems to be slow in several rounds.
"
"Compared to a pure free agent, Aether is actually half a breakthrough player and half a free agent. However, compared to a pure breakthrough player whose main purpose is to kill, the main purpose of Aether's breakthrough and single touch is to collect information and allow the commander to make decisions.
The situation can be better controlled!"
"Yes, okay, I understand!"
ropz suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had discovered a new world.
The eldest cousin blinked, "What do you understand?"
"I finally know why ZywOo picked up the sniper rifle again."
ropz's face became serious.
"karrigan, you must be curious, right? Why is Aether's sniper rifle so effective, but it suddenly transformed into a half-free man and half-attacker."
"In the final analysis, all this is to liberate ZywOo."
"We all know that ZywOo is a strong player, but the most powerful thing about ZywOo is its ability to collect and process information."
Baimengshu
"Is it really non-native language communication that prevents ZywOo from getting information? Obviously not. After all, we at Faze are also a non-native language communication team, but there are no problems with our information and communication."
"For some time before Vitality, the biggest problem was that no one could help the team obtain information."
"Coupled with the fact that Mo Nan and Adu tore apart Vitality's original system to pieces, the problem of insufficient information about the ZywOo sniper rifle has been continuously expanded."
"Both Adu and Mo Nan are not the kind of players who take the initiative to get information."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In other words, Adu and Demon Man did not get the information immediately, but waited for the team's main attack to begin before starting to carry out operations in another area.
Access to information."
"But Aether is different. He can even pick up a sniper rifle and obtain enough information for the team before the team's main attack begins."
After talking a lot, ropz was a little tired, so he picked up the mineral water on the table and drank a few sips of it.
The eldest cousin completely understood what ropz meant.
Do Vitality and zonic actually think so?!
What a great game of chess!
"Okay, okay, okay." The eldest cousin smiled, feeling like he had met his opponent.
It turns out that Vitality never gave up the idea of letting ZywOo play sniper game, but continued to build and improve its own system through competitions.
To be honest, the term "free agent" in CSGO has almost become the meaning of "stinky old 6".
But few people know that the reason why most liberos are "6" is because the players have improved their understanding of the map, and the M4A1 gun is too powerful on the defensive side.
There are very few free agents who can tear a gap through the CT defense line through their personal abilities, which is why teaming up to make up for the damage is called the version answer.
The offensive player's single breakthrough success rate is too low.
Looking at the entire 2022, from the beginning of the year to now, only three players have positive average KD data on the offensive side.
It's Aether, s1mple and ZywOo.
If you look at it this way, letting Aether serve as a free agent is definitely a liberation for the team, and it can also allow ZywOo to return to the state of 2020 and regain his full strength.
The eldest cousin seemed to gradually begin to understand everything.
"That's it, that's it."
"What ZywOo said before about not wanting to do sniping seems to be fake news."
"So scheming, Zonic, so scheming, Vitality."
Coach RobbaN looked at his cousin's expression and responded in an incomprehensible manner.
…
While the eldest cousin was explaining Vitality's new system that did not exist to everyone in Faze, on the other side of the screen, Vitality ended the battle in the scorching sand city easily and happily with a score of 16 to 7.
Shushu smiled happily as always, and perhaps the happiest smile she has had in recent months.
With the information given by Qin Feng, the sniper rifle in his hand is extremely comfortable to shoot.
It's completely different from the feeling of being in jail before.
"What? My sniper rifle is quite accurate!" ZywOo said in a relaxed and comfortable tone, "I always feel that this picture is very comfortable to play."
apEX also nodded. After letting Qin Feng play a half-free man and half-breakthrough position, the team's system seems to be more fluid?
The strategy of exchanging sniper rifles is said to be to avoid being targeted by opponents, but it seems to be surprisingly helpful for the overall situation?
…
"The first picture is 16 to 7." Masisi looked at the score on the screen and smiled, "The big score is 1 to 0. Vitality seems to be entering the finals soon~"
Mo looked at the player scoreboard after the game and said: "Well, according to this state, it is very likely that the little bees will take away team A 2-0."
"Aether's data seems to be a bit worse than when he got the sniper rifle, but the data of the rest of the Little Bee team members have generally improved a lot."
"Especially ZywOo, he killed 10 out of 25 in this game. Really, it seems that the feel of the sniper rifle has been regained."
"Aether is the last piece of Vitality's puzzle. It's not just words. Now it is more in line with my expectations for a top team."
"Vitality had a system when it was first reorganized, but it relied more on the personal strength of ZywOo and A-God. Now Vitality seems to play in a more holistic way, delicately balancing individual heroism and teamwork."
"Even if Vitality won the game before, the team's ratings were always two green and three red. This time Vitality won and all five players had positive ratings."
The barrages in the 123321 live broadcast room have already officially submerged the entire live broadcast room screen.
[The last piece of Vitality’s puzzle? Isn’t it that the supreme Crown Prince A arrived at his faithful Vitality today?]
[If Vitality can win IEM Cologne this time, can it directly reward God A with the right to spray and breathe for a year? 】
[What is breathing, how can there be breathing?——Comment from a certain ihoo.】
[HooXi joked about personal ability: Even if I don’t kill anyone for half a year, I still firmly believe that we can win all the games. Aether joked about personal ability: Even if I kill the most in every game for half a year, we may not win.]
[I see, it’s not that Aether doesn’t want to snipe, it’s that ZywOo only needs sniping to punish Brother Weili. Let’s go, Xiaofan, give him the whole job! 】
In contrast, the fans supporting Astralis at the Lanxess Arena seemed dead silent.
It is certainly commendable that the players have made it this far despite insufficient physical strength, but the defensive team only scored 7 points at the start, which is indeed not a qualified score.
BlameF, who temporarily served as the conductor, calmly took off his headphones and felt bitter in his heart.
Astralis did not show much problems in terms of tactics or on-the-spot decision-making, but it was this that made blameF even more desperate.
No one can feel more personally than them the despair brought about by the suppression of such personal abilities.
However, as a conductor, blameF still forced a smile.
"Brothers, the game is not over yet. The next picture is the nuclear crisis we chose. Cheer up!"
