Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

At the TH game table.

After losing the pistol round, the TH team didn't seem too frustrated; everyone remained calm.

Both Benji and RieNs felt they were in good form today, with accurate shots, and that the one point they lost earlier didn't affect their performance.

paTiTek, however, was a bit annoyed and couldn't help but complain, "It's just a pistol round we won, why are these viewers shouting so loudly?"

"That's how it is at home," Benji chuckled. "The Chinese audience is already quite friendly. Even though we're the opponents, they still applaud us; their etiquette is impeccable. Why don't you try playing in Brazil?"

Brazil has a thriving football culture, and in recent years it has also vigorously developed e-sports. As a result, it has brought the low-quality "hooligan" style of football into e-sports competitions, which has aroused the disgust of many people.

The nickname "Brazilian tortoise" comes from this.

After a brief chat, Boo quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"My problem was that I didn't catch the person."

In fact, not catching the person wasn't the most crucial issue.

Even with Raven low on health, a 3v4.5 defense isn't entirely unwinnable.

The real problem is that EDG paid too little cost when entering the point.

In particular, Smoggy held onto his "black" until the very end, leaving Woot with no room to maneuver, which was the key to losing the pistol round.

"Next point, you'll be in center."

Boo turned to paTiTek (Iron Arm) and said, "The three of us will set up a formation to counter the Qing, and then we'll perform map control actions at A."

The TH members nodded, instantly understanding Boo's meaning.

First, use props to create the illusion of controlling A, making EDG mistakenly believe that they are preparing to bet on A, and then drive people to the sides of B and C.

RieNs volunteered, "My finances are okay, let's try a round of Justice."

"OK."

Soon, the countdown ended, and the second round began.

The sharpshooter immediately got into the zone: "On TH's side, only RieNs bought a Justice; everyone else has a pure E."

"EDG only bought three guns: Su's Flying General, Kang's Lash, and Smoggy's Guardian. Batistuta and Ball God are still saving money, preparing to play with pistols... Isn't that a bit greedy?"

He sighed and continued his analysis: "Having bought the Flying General, it seems they don't plan to speed things up this round, but rather to play a slow control strategy."

really.

The camera panned across the screen, showing EDG sending Qiuqiu to control C, while the other four players gathered outside A at the start of the game, preparing to control A first.

The light curtain fell.

Su Ming carried the flying general and slowly walked forward, when suddenly a cloud of black mist exploded on his face.

It is Boo's [Black Miasma (E)].

He reacted extremely quickly, immediately realizing that the other party wanted to control A, and quickly took a step back.

Thanks to his excellent awareness, Su Ming successfully dodged the Blood-Draining Electric Arrow that the enemy Hunter was following closely behind.

Nobody quickly adjusted their strategy: "We'll switch to B, put some pressure on them!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another enemy Hunter's [Enemy-Seeking Arrow (E)] struck the top of the door frame in Hall A.

The others dodged the arrow in time, but Su Ming was too close and had no time to retreat. He could only duck into the smoke in Hall A to avoid the items that were about to take effect.

However, RieNs was clearly aware that his smoke would create a blind spot.

He fired two shots directly into the smoke.

boom!boom!

"I'm so hungry!"

Jetsu let out a scream as he was shot in the head.

-145.

Su Ming's health was down to only 5 points, and he had lost the ability to advance normally and draw fire.

This combo from Hunter Owl in Hall A is quite effective.

Seeing this, Nobody quickly added, "It's okay, Xiaoming, you can play by yourself."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, Su Ming suddenly pulled out a cigarette.

Within sight, A University was completely deserted.

"ah??"

"Five drops of blood and it immediately turned into smoke?"

In the live stream, the sharpshooter's eyes widened in disbelief:

"My god, why is Su Shen using this cigarette? That's so damn wild! You have five drops of blood, not five hundred drops!"

"This is an anti-eco round, aren't you afraid of giving away your kills playing like this?"

Seeing no enemy in sight, Su Ming did not pause at all, carrying the flying general forward.

At this moment, Nobody had already gone to the mid lane to fly the plane, helping the team secure map control in the mid lane.

From TH's perspective, after RieNs and Woot, who were at A site at the start of the game, returned to the bomb site, they casually peeked at A short.

After confirming that no one was around, the two began to return to support B.

Benji stayed in the garage and obtained a lot of information about the middle lane through the cameras.

Boo and paTiTek also began to move towards the B side, and soon they were about to set up a four-man defense for point B.

If EDG dares to attack B at this moment, they will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat.

But the director clearly understood the situation, and suddenly the camera cut to Su Ming's first-person perspective.

Su Ming held down the "W" key the entire time, carrying a flying general and advancing deeper into Area A, without even opening the scope.

"So we've arrived at the bread shop just like that?"

The sharpshooter chuckled and immediately switched to EDG's team voice chat:

"The EDG voice chat must be like this right now: 'Brothers, listen to me, come and attack! There's no one there!'"

As expected, the four EDG players in the mid lane immediately retreated and moved silently towards point A.

"Huh? Wait, is Su Shen still going to keep going forward?"

The sound of the sharpshooter suddenly rose in pitch.

In the footage, Su Ming had already crossed the door frame of the police station and peeked at AB Company.

After not seeing anyone, he continued forward and went straight into the police station's spawn point.

The sharpshooter glanced at the turn timer subconsciously and couldn't help but complain:

"At one minute and four seconds, they sneaked into the enemy base via A-level?"

"No, how can he go wherever he wants?"

Raven has gone mad.

[A University has one Mundo.]

Ignoring the risks, continue with single-player betting.

[The coolest free agent ×, the freest cool guy √!]

[Isn't Brother Suicide's return to his secluded retreat a kind of homecoming?]

[It's true, what's wrong with a dragon swimming in its own living room?]

The round timer has reached 45 seconds.

Only then did EDG's main force finish clearing the A site and slowly make their way into the A area.

TH also realized that the situation was not right and began to move all its members toward Area A.

Meanwhile, Su Ming had already appeared at the police spawn point and thoroughly searched for information.

There was no one at the police station.

Su Ming immediately deduced that TH had switched all their players to B to defend.

He turned and walked toward point A, and soon saw two graceful figures with their backs turned.

It's Boo, who's currently dismantling the anti-Qing faction, and Woot, who's about to peek at the bomb site with a gun.

Su Ming raised his gun and fired, prioritizing the elimination of the more threatening Jetwind.

boom!

He turned his back and steadily accepted it.

EDG.Raven headshots and kills TH.Woot

When his teammate suddenly died, Old Boo was jolted awake and turned around with lightning speed, only to see the enemy Jetwind suddenly appear behind him.

At that moment, his center of gravity was fully engaged, and the crosshair almost instantly locked onto Su Ming's head before he decisively pressed the left mouse button.

In his haste, he forgot that what he was holding in his hand was not a gun, but [Dark Nightmare (Q)].

The black mist precisely enveloped Su Ming.

Unfortunately, the skill does not deal AP damage.

The moment the black mist took effect, the Flying General in Su Ming's hand rang out again.

boom!

EDG.Raven kills TH.Boo

Su Ming was engulfed by the black mist, and immediately released smoke to protect himself.

Before he even reached the black hole, he had already heard footsteps coming from the direction of AB.

Once the black fog effect wore off, Su Ming placed another [Instant Cloud (C)] on the spot, using the smoke as soft cover to dart out sideways.

RieNs and he locked eyes, and the two fired their guns almost simultaneously.

boom!

Both men missed a shot each, then continued to fire back and forth using small, quick steps.

At this distance, it was clear that RieNs' Justice had a faster rate of fire, and he quickly fired the next shot first.

Su Ming only has one drop of blood; even if he is shot in the body, he will die on the spot.

The problem is, RieNs didn't know this information.

In his view, he only had a chance of winning against a fully armored flying general, so he continued to try to headshot him.

The bullet of justice grazed Jetwind's scalp.

boom!

EDG.Raven kills TH.RieNs

Triple kill!

Only then did the belatedly arriving, clumsy chicken finally seize the opportunity and take down Su Ming from the side.

TH.benjyfishy headshots and kills EDG.Raven

Although they captured a Flying General weapon, TH had no chance of turning the tide in a two-against-four situation.

The only option the two could choose was to give each other bags.

EDG only had two guns and had no intention of surrendering them.

Soon, the blaster exploded.

The score came to 2:0.

-----------------

At the TH game table.

Woot raised the mouse with some frustration, as if he wanted to slam it down. But he stopped abruptly halfway down.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He felt extremely upset to be killed without firing a single shot in two consecutive rounds.

Boo remained silent throughout.

He performed the "pig nose" maneuver twice in a row. Although he died early and his teammates didn't see it, the audience at the scene must have seen it clearly.

This made his face feel burning.

"It's alright." Benji was quite optimistic and comforted her, "It's just an eco round, no big deal, we'll get plenty of points later."

It was only then that RieNs discovered through the damage calculation panel that he had gotten a headshot from Raven while hiding in the smoke.

The opponent had only five drops of health and managed to reach home.

Judging by the time, he definitely didn't even release the 'W' key, and his search points were quite casual.

A proper search wouldn't be this fast!

This discovery left RieNs speechless, exclaiming, "Have you guys noticed how casually Raven played these last two rounds?"

"It feels like... it feels like he plays however he wants, completely ignoring his teammates, just like those toxic players in ranked games."
