Chapter 152 HLTV2018TOP9 Player: Nice!
Xu Beibei's joining of Little Bee is very smooth, both in terms of environmental integration and living conditions are very good, but after all, there will be some people who don't like French food.
Fortunately, he has lived independently since he was very early, and he still has a little cooking skills, and the base of Little Bee also provides a kitchen, so that Xu Beifang can occasionally adjust his diet.
Soon after entering Little Bee, they completed the official announcement, and Xu Beibei's prefix also added the name of Little Bee. Many domestic fans don't understand joining this brand-new team, but they only express their support, looking forward to seeing Xu Beifang again in the next major events.
After Xu Beifang joined Little Bee, he also felt the difference with VP.
Compared to VP, although apEX, NBK, and RPK are also considered to be in the category of older players.
But they are a few years younger, and the overall strength they show is still higher than that of VP and a group of old men.
He also gradually integrated into the team, friendly but emotional apEX, usually quiet RPK, and NBK with a lot of ideas.
and Xu Beibei's biggest partner today, who is always smiling to the outside world.
Zaiwu is a very special player, Xu Beifang can see that he is still in a growth period, but he is already the top batch of players, and he and Zaiwu are now able to hand over their backs to each other with confidence.
There is another difference from VP.
When Xu Beifang joined VP, it was a bit of a feeling of cutting in the queue halfway, and many things were taken care of by Big Brother.
Not to talk about the care of life, in the competition, in fact, I also ate the dividends of a few VPs - Xu Beibei participated in the entry, IEM Shanghai, Hong Kong Zotac Cup, London Major Qualifiers These qualifications have been played, he only needs to participate in the competition with the team.
But it's different in Little Bees, everything is brand new, so the qualifications for all kinds of competitions have to be played slowly by them.
Since most of CSGO's tournaments are cup tournaments, the entire qualification is:
Audition-Qualifier-Finals.
So in the past few months, the little bees have been frantically participating in the auditions of various events, competing for tickets to the competition.
They played a total of 40 games, 12 BO1s and 28 BO3s, but only lost 5 games in total, and the overall record is quite impressive.
And under this brave outburst, the world ranking of Little Bee has gradually risen to 24.
For the little bees, this result is quite good, two months is enough time for them to qualify for many competitions, and it is gradually appearing in the audience's field of vision.
On December 31st, Xu Beifang was caught by the French old men of the club and kissed, and everyone sang and danced to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
With the arrival of the new year, the whole club of the Little Bees began to prepare for various large-scale events, and now they have played several major tournament qualifications, and the next thing is to alternate between competitions and qualifications, it is conceivable that they will be very busy in the future.
……
With the arrival of 2019, for the community players, they have already started discussing this year's top 20 players in advance.
"This year's TOP should be a simple boy."
"I don't understand, obviously the device has played even better, how many major championships have you won throughout the year?"
"S1mple has a terrifying rating of 1.38 this year, which is basically the ceiling of personal ability, and this is not TOP1?"
"It's definitely device that gets the TOP1! Honor is very important, in 2014, even though flusha had a better rating and MVP, but the kobold still got the TOP1 by relying on the number of trophies, so this year's TOP1 will only be device. ”
"Personally, do I think it's going to be NIKO?"
"Come on, NIKO wants data without data, if you want results without results, what do you compare with these two guys?"
"I don't think NIKO has played as well as Twistzz this year, how many MVP medals has Twistzz won this year?"
"Don't get involved, NIKO is much better than Twistzz overall"
Players are very motivated by the TOP1 debate, but there are also some domestic fans who are looking forward to:
"Will Xiao Xu and Tianlu become TOP players this time?"
"It may be on the TOP edge, Tianlu has little hope, and their overall data can't reach the edge"
"I hope to see Xiao Xu's figure"
"Come on, just blow it, I've been playing third-tier games all the past few months, what's the use?"
"Xiao Xu actually has a great chance of entering the list, but last year he only played three major events and won an MVP trophy, which is slightly worse in terms of honor and gold content."
As for whether Xu Beibei can enter the TOP list, the controversy on domestic forums is far greater.
At this time, a passerby player named 'Nian Lan' gave a series of data, analyzed HLTV's algorithm, and concluded: "Nice's ranking may be around the top 10." ”
Because there are a lot of words in Nianlan, people who read the data have a headache, and most of them only get one information - TOP10.
Then they began to look forward to the stars and the moon, and began to wait.
As the days passed, they gradually watched TOP12-Gua Dian and TOP11-Leng Shen come out one by one, but they couldn't see Xu Beibei's figure, and they were a little disappointed.
Then on January 12, 2019, they saw a push message from HLTV.
[2018 TOP20 player: Nice (9)]
The domestic forum was shocked instantly!!
"I'll go, TOP9!! Is it so exaggerated? ”
"The cards are full!! Xiao Xu, this is too fierce."
"The epiphany kid is not a person"
"What about those little sunspots before, stand up!! TOP9!!! ”
"Our people also have their own TOP players, Xiao Xu is awesome!!"
"Worthy of a 200g seed player! It's an exaggeration, and he won the MVP after half a year. ”
Users with ID name Nian Lan were a little surprised to see this result.
According to his various data algorithms, Xu Beifang should be in the TOP10 down, but he didn't expect him to rush to the TOP9, he carefully looked at the following push information:
[Reason for being on the list: Nice has been very energetic this year, and as one of the top five rookies of the year (Twistzz, Nice, ropz, smooya, woxic), he is the best breakthrough player in it.] In the 2018 tournament, Nice had a rating of 1.28, a rating of 1.27 on the offensive side and a 1.29 rating on the defensive side.
In addition, as a breakthrough player, Nice's breakthrough rate is 34.6% (first), the breakthrough success rate is even more amazing (52.3%), and the first kill of each map is 4.7 (first), and an important reason for his success on the list is that even in the Major knockout round, he can still play very good statistics.
Downside: Nice's 1.28 rating for the year (second), which could have allowed him to go far on the list. But the small sample size of the competition made him stop there.
However, as a man who is always on the breakthrough, Nice's crazy performance in the second half of the year has made him one of the best breakthroughs in the world, and now he has formed a new team with French legends apEX, NBK and others, looking forward to his future performance.
Rising Star Predictions:
Nice has chosen his hometown, Danking, a 18-year-old player from China, who we haven't found out about any results yet, and we are looking forward to his future performances. 】
It's ruthless!!
Nian Lan looked at the data and almost gasped.
debuted in the first year, won the TOP9 as the best rookie, and won the first place in the breakthrough in his own position, this praise is quite exaggerated.
The only drawback may be that there are too few competitions, so Xu Beibei's results have not gone further, which is a bit regrettable.
However, this exaggerated data made him, a fan, think about it, should he do the statistics of a London Major? The data of each player is displayed in the form of video graphics.
Thinking about it like this, Nianlan felt as if there was something wrong.
At that time, Xiao Xu's breakthrough attempt rate is estimated to be off the charts.
……
Domestic players are quite satisfied with the ranking of TOP9, but many foreign players are different, although they know that Nice has performed well in recent months, they still think that his performance is not enough to support the title of TOP9.
is also the same as HLTV's evaluation, the sample size is too small, even if it wins an MVP of the Hong Kong Zotac Master Cup, it is still insufficient for the TOP9 position.
However, in the face of doubts, the VP old men and apEX and others all spoke on Twitter, praising Xu Beifang for deserving this honor.
In the face of heated discussions among netizens about Xu Beibei's TOP spot, the Bees have already filled up their points and won the 2019 IEM Katowice Major European Qualifiers.
In this Cato European qualifier, the total prize fund is 50,000 US dollars, but no team will care about this 50,000 US dollars.
In addition to them, the participating teams in this European qualifier are: ENCE, North, Valiance, Mouz, Windigo, OPTIC, and ex-Space Soldiers.
A total of eight teams compete for two and a half places, the top two will directly qualify, and the third place will play a playoff match with the team from the CIS region, so it is half a place.
Xu Beifang also came to Poland again with the little bee.
The opponent on the first day of the match was the OPTIC they were most familiar with. In recent months, the OPTIC team has regularly bumped into them in various qualifiers, meeting them a total of 7 times, with the Bees losing only once.
If Masisi was here, he would definitely have to say the classic five words again_____!
The little bees did not live up to the expectations of their fans, and finally got off to a good start with a score of 16:8, Xu Beibei and Zaiwu scored 1.58 and 1.49 respectively, which made the Danes hug their heads.
The second day of the European qualifiers is also gradually starting, and even the little bees are starting to feel some pressure, because from the second round of the competition, the format has changed from BO1 to BO3.
……
On January 17, 2019, Katowice was cloudy and clear.
Everyone in the UFO gymnasium has already taken their seats and started to warm up.
The next day they were against Valiance, a team that wasn't well-known, but there were a few players in the team who were still very good.
"Well, Nice, I heard that Hunter across the street is NIKO's cousin?" apEX asked with some curiosity.
HE KNEW THAT XU BEIBEI AND NIKO HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY OFTEN PLAYED TOGETHER ON FPL IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
"It's a cousin, but it's about too much like a brother, they grew up together." Xu Beifang added, "And let me tell you, this guy used to be a professional football player, and then retired due to injury. ”
NBK was a little surprised next to him: "NIKO'S FAMILY IS SO TALENTED? I took a look before the game, and this Hunter has a 1.23 annual rating, which is a thigh-level player. ”
Brother CS they have seen a lot, but it is rare to see that both the elder brother and the younger brother are talented.
As a result, NIKO's younger brother is a world-class gun man, and his brother even has the possibility of impacting a first-line professional brother, which is terrifying.
"And you have to pay attention to the conductor named Nexa on the other side, that guy likes to gamble very much, and he doesn't follow common sense." The big bald coach added in the back.
Can you play according to common sense? The nickname is the God of Gamblers.
Although the team is not well-known, the opponent has two well-known players in the future, so Xu Beibei still feels some pressure.
After a quick round of BP, the BO3 game map arrived: Mystery of the Dead City, Purgatory Town, and Scorching Sand City
The two sides sorted out their emotions and began to officially enter the BO3 competition.
Map: Mystery of the Dead City
T:huNter、LETN1、nexa、ottoNd、EspiranTo
CT:ZywOo、Nice、apEX、NBK、RPK
The competition has officially begun.
The first map wasn't the strong point of the bees today, but now that the map had been chosen, they had to think about how to take it.
apEX commanded: "At the beginning of the game, Nice is in the A bag point single defense, the load is hung in the middle, NBK, you two focus on the B area, I will wait on the police's side to see which side has pressure to go back." ”
At the end of the countdown, Xu Beibei bought a half-A and came to Area A.
He hid in the dead spot and kept shaking to investigate, and the single-A defense and the pistol game didn't give him much room to play.
nexa knew that Nice liked forward press, so he played very carefully overall, and made defaults at various points on the map at the beginning, just to beware of Xu Beibei.
It was only then at the minute mark that they launched a wave of bomb attacks on Area A.
"Dead ignition! Two instantaneous flashes in a row, Nice at the dead center was whitened all the way, and the bandit army rushed forward and directly captured Nice to death. Masisi was quickly explaining in the live broadcast room.
"The police white car is trying to smoke a little here, but there is a small cigarette cover, they can't get any information, a moment A bag point is full of people, the thunder bag is put down, this is a 4 to 5 endgame, can the front create a miracle? The little fat man is still alive on the field. ”
"But nexa chose a tricky angle, and killed the ZywOo that came over to make up the defense, and the apEX that returned to the defense was also knocked out by nexa's half-armor P250! After a scuffle, the little bees were all killed without even touching the buns. ”
After losing the pistol round, the bee went straight to the no-armor P250, trying to find an opportunity to quickly transition the game to the spear round.
But after entering the spear round, they still haven't been able to start scoring points.
The opponent's rhythm was very good, and the attack was very smooth.
It wasn't until the 8th round that he relied on Xu Beibei's sudden forward top, got a double kill at the beginning and then won the round.
But by this time, the score had come to 1:7, and the little bee called out his first timeout.
In the forklift, a picture of the French, they urgently need to make adjustments.
