"FXXK, it's Aether again!"
The moment broky fell, coach RobbaN, who was standing behind the FaZe player bench, roared unwillingly.
This was FaZe's best chance to end the second map.
In the 3-on-1 endgame, Aether had no room to defend. RobbaN even opened a champagne celebration for FaZe in advance to celebrate the victory.
Until that incredible shot appeared.
AWP's bullet penetrated the lane and crushed FaZe Clan's best chance of equalizing the score.
On the main stage of BLAST, the on-site commentator looked at the footage shown in the replay, his eyes widened, and his hands unconsciously waved in the air, as if using his body to express his unspeakable surprise:
"Aether, it's him again, the savior of Vitality!"
"The endgame, three kills, and an incredible shot brought Vitality back from the edge of the cliff."
"According to statistics provided by BLAST, after Aether completes the endgame in front of him, the number of endgames he has completed in 2022 has reached 35, second only to ZywOo, broky and blameF!"
"The premise of this data is that Aether missed most of the games in the first half of this year."
"A dominant performance as always!"
"We have reason to believe that in 2022, Aether will lead Vitality to a higher peak than the previous A team."
"..."
As the noise at IEM Cologne gradually subsided, the overtime match between Vitality and FaZe officially began.
Qin Feng used his sniper rifle and four props to move towards point B as always, and Vitality's formation did not make any targeted adjustments.
However, after overtime, the mentality of everyone in FaZe obviously changed a lot.
The big cousin completely overturned the tactics and ideas prepared before the game.
apEX's command choices seemed very unreasonable, but with ZywOo and Aether, these seemingly completely unreasonable commands became somewhat reasonable.
To put it bluntly, with the dual-core of ZywOo and Qin Feng, even with three BOTs, they can still make great progress with Vitality.
ZywOo may still be in bad shape, but Aether...
It is really more amazing than the debut of ZywOo and b1t.
Some CSGO players who like to cause trouble even spread rumors on the Internet that Aether is a bionic robot jointly developed by Huawei and Xiaomi.
These seemingly funny views exactly reflect Qin Feng’s stability and strength in the CSGO arena.
The eldest cousin watched the freezing time end little by little, clenched his fists tightly, and spoke out to comfort his somewhat disappointed teammates.
"It's okay, it's just overtime. Haven't we played enough overtime?"
"As everyone knows, we are the team with the highest winning rate in CSGO after entering overtime."
"This time we still play A. Just one person can control B, and the rest of us will come to A with me."
"Broky, you are in a good position, just continue to use the sniper rifle to grab A."
"..."
Above the scorching sand city.
Thirty seconds passed in the round, and the formations of both sides slowly unfolded on the map.
On FaZe's side, except for the director who stood behind the wooden box in the back garden, the remaining four players had completed the battle for Area A Avenue.
But what karrigan didn't know was that the four members of Vitality, except Qin Feng, were gradually approaching area A.
This is not the Vitality of the past. Of course, apEX will not make gambling decisions without reason.
From God's perspective, Qin Feng in position 2 has slowly pushed out of hole B with a sniper rifle.
The anchor of the 6657 live broadcast room couldn't help but make sharp comments again.
"What? Aether has secretly cleared the second floor of B with a sniper rifle."
"Bold but cautious."
"FaZe now has no idea that there are already four defenders waiting for them to explode in the A zone."
"Knowing that you are in good condition, take the initiative to help your teammates get information on the map."
"People can't help but sigh that this is the only A-god Aether."
"God has given this little bee the best gift."
"God A is a player whose main focus is to emerge from nowhere."
"Vitality suddenly has a big brother."
"Such players are rare."
"For example, ropz, well... ropz is relatively smooth."
"You think, ropz's first official contract was with mouz."
"FPL was suspected of cheating, and then proved himself offline."
"But even so, he is not like Aether, who won two offline competitions in a row just after joining a wealthy team."
"What is the peak when you debut? This is the peak when you debut!"
Since FaZe's bomb attack has not yet started, Play Machine took this time to make critical comments again.
[God A’s forward pressing is bold and careful, right? Then why is my Tyloo’s forward pressing undisciplined (dog head)]
[I suggest that the anchor change his name. Why not call him Aether from Vitality? 】
[Big cousin, don’t go to Vitality to shake hands after the fight. I suggest you go directly to check Vitality’s chassis. ZywOo and that Aether, at first glance, they are two stinky cheaters. 】
[V Club, please think of a way. If this continues, other teams will have to compete for second place. The designers should think of ways to weaken Aether and Vitality. 】
[Designer? Are you too young? Doesn’t Valve only have three employees? One person is lying on vacation in Hawaii counting money, another person is responsible for maintaining DOTA2, and the other person is responsible for dressing the chicks in CSGO. Where does the CSGO designer come from? 】
[Showdown, I traveled from the future. Valve did target Little Bee, and directly removed Little Bee’s strongest map Sha2 from the map pool, and also weakened AWP’s bullets to 5 rounds to target God A. 】
【Um? Does five bullets mean it's weakened? I suspect you are hinting at something! 】
[Wuzi can’t do it, right? My level 5 stone man has started to follow up! 】
…
At this time Vitality's team voice.
apEX suddenly felt relieved when he heard Qin Feng's information that the second floor of Area B had been cleared.
If the second floor of area B is cleared, FaZe's attack direction will most likely be area A, which is heavily defended by Vitality.
Thinking of this, Doudou in the elevator glanced at ZywOo on platform A, and quickly cut out the flash in his hand.
"The other side may be coming over quietly, ZywOo, I'll help you dodge and clear A."
"Um."
In an instant, ZywOo understood apEX's intention, stood at the edge of the platform in area A, and took a preview in the direction of the pit.
If FaZe really chooses to play silently, then Broky, who is the team's main sniper, will most likely choose to hold the A-zone platform in the big pit.
As a sniper, ZywOo knows this very well.
"Buzz~"
The moment the flash bomb exploded, ZywOo completed the horizontal pull on A.
In the big pit, Broky, who was all white, was chosen at a loss.
"boom!"
[Vitality.ZywOo used AWP to kill FaZe.broky with a headshot]
"The white broky will be taken away directly by ZywOo."
"Shen is a good person, and he is a good person."
"The Rain God, who turned his back to dodge the flash, failed to complete the follow-up shot on ZywOo."
"And when ZywOo sniped Broky, he caught the three bandits from the attacking side with his peripheral vision."
“I want to repeek again!”
Facing the three bandits at close range, ZywOo attacked again without any pause after the CD of the sniper rifle improved.
If it were the previous Vitality, he might still seek stability, but now that Qin Feng has joined, ZywOo doesn't mind becoming the repeek emperor.
"clatter."
"boom!"
[Vitality.ZywOo killed with AWP]
The sound of the AK-47 stopped suddenly after ringing for a while.
Even though Rain God, who was pulled to the right side of A, had a preview of CT Repeek's position, he was facing ZywOo who was at his peak.
The AK-47 that Yu Shen had just bought fell to the ground as the bandit fell to the ground after just one shot.
Moreover, ZywOo has extreme control over his position, leaving karrigan and ropz on the left side of the wall with no opportunity to make up for their shots.
Almost instantly, FaZe entered an extremely disadvantageous endgame.
The two talented teenagers ropz and Twistzz in the FaZe team are still there, but even so, Galaxy Battleship is still unable to recover.
After another anti-clearance flash thrown by the policeman exploded, ZywOo and dupreeh, who were pulling up and down, did not give the remaining two people in A any chance.
Before the flashing explosion ended, ropz and his eldest cousin fell under the blazing sunshine of the sand city.
What was left to the director was a devastating one-on-five endgame.
Twistzz, who was preparing to join his teammates at this moment, had just arrived at the bandit's house when he desperately discovered that he was the only one left in the team.
In overtime, the 12,500 economic bonus is enough for the attacker to have all their guns and ammunition in three rounds.
You can’t guarantee it, right?
Gritting his teeth, Twistzz walked towards the secret passage in the middle.
"In the endgame of one versus five, the director has absolutely no information about the map."
"If you want to touch the middle again, I'm sorry, Aether has already been cleared from level B."
"It's so desperate. I looked at every position and was directly picked out by Aether and beaten to death."
"This game is a victory for Vitality's personal ability."
"When FaZe was stuck, ZywOo used his front top to cooperate with his teammates' props to get the first kill."
"FaZe's default from the second half to now is actually a bit stuck."
"The opponent's two snipers, ZywOo and Aether, are both players with extremely strong personal abilities."
"If we continue to do this by default, it will be really difficult to make up for it."
As they were talking on the machine, the director suddenly cut the live stream from inside the game to the FaZe player bench.
The eldest cousin kept waving his right hand, as if he was arranging some tactics with his teammates.
Play the machine and look at the screen, adjusting your commentary to an immersive perspective.
"My eldest cousin quickly comforted his teammates and said, 'Come on, come on'."
"This can't hold us back, so let's gather together and fight."
"Sure enough! They made a gathering of four people in the back garden. They don't want to be sniped by the two defenders of Little Bee."
"But the problem is, after the previous Vitality was opened with single B, this one is a normal 2B."
Second floor of Zone B.
Except for ropz who was scouting alone outside gate A, the remaining four attackers gathered here.
The eldest cousin understands that blindly avoiding Aether seems to be no longer a problem.
Even though Aether is scarier than s1mple and ZywOo, he is still a human being, not a top or a machine.
As we all know, if a person is killed, he will die.
Aether with 100 blood drops will fall to the ground helplessly as long as he gets an AK shot in the head.
Even with the number of people, the big cousin wants to break through Vitality's B area at least once.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Aether will really become the inner demon of everyone in FaZe.
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
"We played a wave of B attacks, and the opponent's B team stood in the middle many times."
Looking at the cleared first floor of Area B, karrigan finally made up his mind to fight B.
What they didn't know was that in addition to Qin Feng standing behind the big box, apEX was also helping to defend near the white car in area B.
Hearing the noisy footsteps and the sound of props being fired outside Channel B, apEX hurriedly cut out the incendiary bomb in his hand.
Qin Feng, as the main sniper rifle guarding Area B, had already handed over the props immediately to prevent the opponent from RUSH, and the second set of props was naturally on apEX.
"Incgrenade!"
"Ding dong smoke!"
"Pfft~"
As the apEX incendiary pop-up was launched, the bandit in second place also quickly extinguished the flames with smoke bombs.
However, just when everyone in FaZe was about to use the flash to make a point, the M4A1 in apEX's hand once again spit out fatal bullets.
Qin Feng's sniper rifle may not be good at mixing smoke, but the M4A1 in apEX's hands, favored by most professional players, is a good hand at mixing smoke.
[X killed with M4A1]
[X killed with a headshot using M4A1]
[Killed zz using AWP]
How could the unsuspecting FaZe crowd break through the fierce crossfire of CT Smoke?
Broky, who had just finished throwing the props, looked at his teammates falling down in the smoke, and could only take C4 to find the ropz gathering outside door A.
However, ZywOo, who was guarding University A, did not give these two people a chance to see the buns.
The score came to 17:15.
Two waves of 0 for 5 did not destroy FaZe's offense in the overtime, but it destroyed the mentality of everyone in the FaZe players' table.
…
Five minutes later, looking at the score of 19:15 and the game settlement on the screen, Karrigan's face was filled with helplessness.
In this picture, they had a chance to win the game directly.
The turning point of everything begins with Aether's double-gun five-kill game.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the LANXESS Arena, the voice of the live host remained clear.
"Aether, stable as always."
"A killing machine with no superfluous moves."
"Congratulations to Vitality, 2-0 for taking the first match point!"
"Now they are only one step away from being crowned the new champions of IEM Cologne!"
