During the intermission, the data of both players in the first picture was being reviewed on the big screen of the main stage.
Under the huge score difference, the data of ZywOo and Qin Feng also appear particularly terrifying.
Sushu, who doesn't seem to have many eye-catching shots, scored 20 kills and 11 deaths. His ADR of 95.2 and Rating of 1.42 continued his terrifying dominance since RMR.
As for Qin Feng...
The host of IEM has experienced a lot of ups and downs, but when he saw the bright data on the big screen, he still felt a sense of disbelief deep in his heart.
Aether, an unknown player six months ago, scored 29 kills in only 19 rounds.
As for the rating of 2.11 and the ADR of 136, it can be called a break-up lead.
Commentators usually only use two words to describe this kind of person:
Gua Bi!
Players ranked HLTV TOP3 or above can be said to have broken through the ceiling of human limits.
Device belongs to the limit of human beings, and players above device, who cover their IDs and put them under supervision, are most likely to be the kind of suspects who fully comply with the principle of no doubt.
In the six months since Aether debuted, his average rating in all games has reached a terrifying 1.51, and there is even a slight upward trend.
What is this concept?
In 2021, NAVI can almost be said to have dominated the entire competition. The average rating of the s1mple event at its peak is only 1.35.
In 2022, that is, this year, CSGO's chosen son-ZywOo, even though he has played countless highlights, his average rating in the entire first half of the year was only 1.31.
The number 0.2 may not seem like a big number, but you must know that the difference in ratings between Niko and Buster on HLTV in the past three months is only 0.25.
After the screen finally cut to the replay of the first picture, IEM's official host finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He began to lower his head and ponder.
If this young man from China continues to perform like this, will the rivalry between the two unparalleled heroes in the CSGO era be ended prematurely?
One day in the future, when people talk about CSGO, perhaps the GOAT in their mouths will no longer be the so-called s1mple.
They only remember that in the era when Aether and ZywOo dominated CSGO, there was a very good sniper named s1mple.
Just like Liquid in the past, it has completely become the background of Team A's dynasty.
…
There is not much time for the players to rest between the two pictures.
In less than a quarter of an hour, ten contestants from Vitality and Outsiders came to the contestant seats in the RMR studio again.
Picture 2 shows the Hot Sand City (DUST2) chosen by Little Bee. Naturally, Outsiders chose the defensive side to start.
However, the atmosphere permeating the teams of both teams was completely different.
On the Outsiders side, even though Jame was twisting the rope like crazy in the middle of the court, the atmosphere in the team was still solemn.
On the other hand, on the Little Bee side, the team was laughing and laughing, and there was no sign of any nervousness.
The team's music box, apEX, hummed an unknown French ditty and began to lay out Vitality's offensive tactics in the pistol round.
"Let's continue to speed up, and don't slow down with the Outsiders."
"Five people directly grabbed A, but Adu immediately made a mistake and pulled directly to the left, so that our formation can expand faster."
"The devil man and I can dodge one shot each to give you a chance."
Doudou euphemistically expressed that Adu needs to take on the task of pulling the gun line.
If Adu, who is in the first shooting position, does not make a point and chooses to fight, then the offensive team's formation will be difficult to expand, and the bandits crowded in Gate A are at risk of being skewered by the defensive USP.
Of course, this is not the main thing.
Mainly, the first offensive player is Adu.
If ZywOo or Qin Feng are in the first position, then apEX will most likely let them choose to pull or fight.
But Adu is not like that.
There's always someone in the team who has to die.
Since Qin Feng joined, apEX has already regarded not making mistakes as the first element of the team.
In the past, there was only one ZywOo, which may not be enough when facing top teams. They also need veterans like them to exert some residual energy.
But things are different now.
Aether is another big brother in the team.
Doudou believes that as long as the team members do not get seriously ill, then Vitality will be a real galactic battleship, a dream team among dream teams.
Play to win, not to have fun.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, if you can win by helping your teammates pull the gun line, apEX is even willing to help your teammates pull the gun line a thousand or ten thousand times.
It doesn't matter even if Panpan's data is 2-16.
Of course, in a competition, 2-16 is definitely not enough.
However, apEX believes that as long as the ratings of himself, Adu and Demon Man can exceed 1, then no matter which team they are, the only fate waiting for them is to be destroyed.
The fifteen seconds of freezing time passed in an instant.
As a defender, Outsiders directly played five and a half pieces of armor, and it seemed that they had no intention of letting Vitality enter the pack.
On Vitality's side, ZywOo and Qin Feng were equipped with half-armor P250, Adu was equipped with half-armor, and Demon Man and apEX were all equipped with unarmored smoke and flash.
At the beginning of the game, all five members of Vitality ran towards Gate A with their knives.
And the Outsiders, whether intentionally or not, happened to arrange for three team members to grab door A first.
At 1 minute and 48 seconds, two seconds after the flash in apEX's hand was thrown, Adu, who was in the first position to grab the point and pull horizontally, saw the first two CTs in his field of vision.
Gritting his teeth, Adu did not choose to stop and shoot. Instead, he pulled to the left and fired without an emergency stop. While attracting firepower, he helped his teammates open the line of fire for the Outsiders players.
Soon, the first kill prompt appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
[Outsiders.FL1T used USP to kill Vitality.dupreeh with a headshot]
However, Adu's sacrifice is not meaningless.
The old breakthrough hand separated the Outsiders' gun line, creating space for ZywOo and Qin Feng in the second and third positions to fire.
In less than three seconds, the eight bullets fired by the P250 in Qin Feng’s hand once again announced to the world’s audience an almost ignored fact:
Aether is the player with the highest average K/D in pistol games among CSGO players in the world.
[Killed VP.FL1T with a headshot using P250]
[Killed VP.Qikert with a headshot using P250]
[Killed VP.fame with a headshot using P250]
Rows of subtitles made James, who came to Area B at the beginning, feel his mood hit rock bottom again.
The bet was right, but he couldn't beat him. This was the last thing Jame wanted to see as the team leader.
From a tactical level, the Outsiders' three-person A wide open is obviously targeted to the extreme.
But judging from the results, the Outsiders, whose three players were replaced by Adu, were obviously the losers.
"A University... They should all be in A University." The last famous person who was eliminated instantly sighed and looked at James who was returning to defense on the screen and touched his forehead.
If he were to judge the winning rate of both sides based on their opening formation, it would be conservatively estimated that the Outsiders' winning rate in the pistol round would be at least 70%.
The problem was that Aether's marksmanship exploded on the opposite side, which instantly tipped the balance of victory to the other side.
The pistol round may be the round in CSGO where luck accounts for the most.
But Fame knew that being killed by a headshot the moment he pulled out could not be summed up by so-called luck.
Destiny itself favors the strong.
Leng Shen's Miraj jumping sniper, s1mple's blind sniper angel, and the ogre's idea brother's desperate 1V5, which one does not have a touch of luck?
While fame was thinking blankly, Vitality easily won the first pistol round.
Jame and n0rb3r7, who returned to defense, were lucky enough to get rid of Magisk in the passing smoke, but they still could not change the outcome of the Outsiders pistol round.
The director specially cut the camera to the camera of Fame after the pistol round.
Fame, who is thinking about life, looks a little dull in front of the camera.
The effect of the program directed by IEM also increased the number of barrages.
[Okay, okay, this is a real-life physical damage. People are knocked unconscious, right? 】
[This wave is the Iron Slowpoke. 】
[I got up, and the shot was dead in seconds. What is there to say? 】
[Is this the so-called rhetoric at the beginning, nonsense after the second, and silence after the fight? 】
[No, no, no, it should be mine at the beginning, "watch" in the middle, and "mine" at the end. 】
[Fame: Is it my fault (unbelievable), haha, I will end the game (pretend to blame myself), I will end the game (give up on myself) (cut the screen and block people). 】
[There is no sound on one side, but the sound on the other side is infinitely loud, right? Wouldn't the director quickly cut to the contestants' bench on the other side? Maybe Vitality’s music box Doudou is playing a triumphant song. 】
…
After losing the pistol round, the Outsiders chose to strengthen.
Of course, with the economic bonus of 1900, it can only be used as a full-armor Sand Eagle or Bird Sniper at best.
It is worth mentioning that on the Outsiders side, no team members left any money. Instead, they all spent their own finances.
This also means that Jame will not be able to snipe in the third round anyway.
"It's obvious that the Outsiders don't really want Little Bee to accumulate money comfortably."
"This wave of Vitality is again planning to sync up with A and A in small ways."
"A's Adu, who was playing alone, took advantage of his teammates' props to grab a big advantage. The blue car's Jame's bird sniper position was very uncomfortable, so he could only rely on the performance of his teammates A."
However, as soon as Masisi finished speaking, Little Fame fell down again.
After the weakening, the body damage from two Sand Eagle shots was not fatal. ZywOo, who still had remaining health, completed the counter-kill against Fame with a rifle.
Jame, who was behind the blue car, was suddenly caught between two sides.
Helpless, he could only aim the sniper rifle's scope at A Xiao.
"Pa." The clear voice of the bird sniper sounded in the blue car.
[Outsiders.Jame used SSG-08 to kill Vitality.ZywOo]
This shotgun sniper was not very fast, and it did not produce a headshot, but Big Sweet Potato, who was hit twice by Sand Eagle, could not resist the more than 70 points of damage.
However, Qin Feng did not live up to the opportunity created by his teammates. He took advantage of the time when Jame's sniper pulled the bolt and fired a series of AK bullets.
[Killed Outsiders.Jame using AK-47]
Even if it wasn't a headshot, without the protection of armor, Jame fell almost instantly.
With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the round, the Outsiders were completely defeated.
Outsiders' remaining three Sand Eagles had no choice but to save their guns.
There was no audience in RMR's studio, but this did not affect the heartfelt cheers of Vitality fans outside the screen of the live broadcast room.
The smooth and smooth fast attack can keep the audience happy at any time.
CSGO is one of the most entertaining e-sports events. What the audience likes to watch is the close combat.
Charming operations may also attract many viewers, but pure fighting can bring more stimulation to the senses.
Besides, it's not that Vitality doesn't have operations, it's that its marksmanship shines so brightly that people ignore operations.
As for the next time to keep the gun, James didn't say anything more.
If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. If you can beat him by twisting the rope, what's the use of having marksmanship?
All tactical plans, including all other factors, are ultimately based on marksmanship.
Although Jame was prepared before the game to be outgunned, when facing the current Vitality, that feeling of powerlessness would come to his mind again and again.
Nothing can be done.
Even if they make correct commands and choose reasonable gun positions time and time again, what the Outsiders have to face is still failure again and again.
The "reasonable" tactics of the Outsiders pale in comparison to the "unreasonable" shooting skills of the Vitality Geminis.
In most cases, Vitality's tactics don't have any bells and whistles. The tactics are simply explosive bombs and a wave of supplementary shots. However, since Vitality won its first championship, almost no team has been able to break this seemingly simple strategy. tactics.
When apEX and dupreeh are weak, other teams still have a chance against Vitality.
If apEX and dupreeh's strength regresses five years...
So how to play this game? !
Can't play!
Of course, the game still has to go on.
If we play FPL, maybe some members of the Outsiders will give up at a huge disadvantage.
But, this is RMR.
Naturally, the Outsiders will fight until the very end.
However, this game is still about marksmanship.
As the score grew bit by bit, the Outsiders' shooting skills began to change from time to time.
The score in the first half was finally fixed at 12:3.
As for the second half, no miracles happened.
The little bee almost pushed the Outsider flatly.
In both games, the Outsiders scored 3 points.
There are no surprises. Vitality has been making great progress. In RMR's Swiss-made cycle, it entered the Major Legend Group with a score of 3-0!
