Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

—Map: Suspended City of Asia and the Sea.

——Mode: Ranked Match

Hero selections for both sides:

Attacking team (Old Man's Team): Jetwind, Lena, Shadow, Hunter, Zero.

Defenders: Jetwind, Hunter, Skye, Shadow, Sage.

"Oh, I just noticed, it's a double vanguard lineup?" Night Rain's voice was the most knowledgeable of the five, with a wide range of opinions and a regular watcher of matches. He casually commented, "If you replaced Skye with KO, this lineup would have a bit of a professional match feel to it."

"Where to hit? Where to hit?" Boss Wang asked impatiently, his fingertip already hovering over the skill button. "I can't hold back my tripwire anymore."

Tripwire is a trap-type skill used by security guards.

The attacking team's security personnel often place a tripwire on the other side of the main force as a warning against flanking maneuvers.

"Pistol round, rush an A."

Su Ming, in his duel, decided on the direction of the attack.

Asia Ocean City is a classic grid-shaped map – the top and bottom ends of the grid are the spawn points for both sides, A and B are two wide open roads on both sides, and the two narrow paths in the middle leading to points A and B are habitually referred to by players as A Small and B Small.

Before each round begins, key passes will be blocked by an insurmountable light barrier that will not dissipate until the countdown ends, giving both sides time to set up items and seize points.

"Okay! I'll sneak in through the back alley right away!"

Mr. Wang hurriedly ran to the entrance of point B and placed a tripwire to prevent the opponent from pushing out from point B. He then hurriedly ran back to point A and placed a camera to monitor the middle lane, collecting information about the middle lane and preparing to sneak up to A short from the middle lane at the second opportunity to support his teammates who were attacking A long.

The other four players waited leisurely at the entrance of A, some cutting knives, some spraying paint, some jumping around, and some aiming at the item locations, waiting for the countdown to end.

In Valorant's bomb defusal mode, the first team to reach 13 points wins.

And after the twelfth round, the roles of attacker and defender will be reversed.

In the first game, both sides started with 800 gold, which was not enough to buy any rifles or items, so they could only fight with pistols.

Therefore, the tactics in the pistol round are often relatively simple.

Su Ming, on the offensive side, purchased a Ghostly Pistol for 500 yuan and a C-skill called [Instant Cloud].

Besides their core skills, all other skills of each agent are considered "tools" and need to be purchased with money.

As the countdown reached "three", the system emitted a warning sound effect.

Everyone's attention was drawn.

Round begins!

The light curtain dissipated.

With a single shot, Night Rain's Shadow was instantly killed.

With a shot fired, Hanghang's Jetwind lit a cigarette at his feet.

—Skill: [Instant Cloud].

Generates a circular cloud that obstructs the view, lasting for 4.5 seconds.

Using the smoke as cover, Hanghang advanced instead of retreating, activating [Wind Chaser] and hiding behind the smoke. Suddenly, an enemy marked with a red light appeared on the screen.

Those are enemies targeted by the Hunter-King [King-type drone], and their location will be briefly revealed.

The Flying General fired through the smoke, killing Old Rock Candy's Hunter Owl with a near-perfect, X-ray vision.

Just then, Rena, a Genshin Impact expert, and Su Ming's Gale Blade both emerged from his smoke screen, seizing the opportunity when he pulled the pin on his Flying General. Hanghang reacted extremely quickly, using Wind Chaser to retreat and return to his teammates, shouting, "Help! Help! Help!!"

The sage and the hunter stood guard beside him, providing cover fire!

[Chasing the Wind] After the flight ends, there is a considerable period of stun, during which it is impossible to fire a gun. Hanghang did not intend to wait for the stun to end, but instead used another skill.

—Q skill, [Aerial].

Riding the wind, soaring high into the sky.

Hanghang manipulated the mouse, spinning it rapidly across the screen, moving like a nimble monkey in the mountains, acting as a moving target to provide firing lines for his teammates.

Needless to say, as the enemy's leader, he had a very high level of hatred. The Genshin Impact expert kept aiming at him and fired three shots but missed. He was completely out of line of fire and was killed by the enemy Hunter.

Su Ming was more composed. His righteous shot only hit Hanghang's body. After the opponent flew up and moved around, he instantly realized that he could not kill him quickly, so he immediately switched his fire and aimed at the other two.

Bang bang bang!

A fierce firefight erupted. Su Ming, with a sliver of health, used two Justice attacks to take down the enemy Hunter and Sage, only to be finished off by hanghang, who had finally landed and had time to deal with the enemy.

Mr. Wang's security guards immediately pulled him out, intending to finish him off, but then saw the enemy Jetwind use [Aerial Flight] to fly into the air, and then use the refreshed [Wind Chaser] to fly behind and above him.

Mr. Wang struggled to turn the screen with the mouse, only managing to fire a single shot at the opponent's body before being killed again by the enemy's flying general.

Quadra kill!

With the addition of a triple kill in the pistol round, the enemy team, Jetwind, achieved a score of 7/1/1 in just two rounds.

Lively and graceful.

The opponent's actions completely refreshed Su Ming's understanding of the hero Jetwind, who was a complete novice in the game.

In comparison, the Jetwind he played was practically just an ordinary person who could use skills.

In the game, since both sides can choose the same hero, when someone is completely outmatched by the same hero in a matchup, they often say "DIFF".

This is now truly the 'Jetwind DIFF'.

Su Ming's eyes lit up, he gripped the mouse tightly, and couldn't help but smile.

"Wow, that's amazing..."
