Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

"9 to 3... not bad." Nobody breathed a sigh of relief; the score had met EDG's pre-match expectations.

"Damn it!" Qiuqiu muttered, "This score is bad luck!"

This involves a mysterious and mysterious aspect of professional competition.

—The Law of Reversal at 39.

In past matches, there have been many instances where a team led 9-3 in the first half but was ultimately overturned.

In fact, statistically speaking, the probability of Sanjiu making a comeback is not high.

The impression it left on the audience was truly profound!

If you raise the score to 10-2 or 11-1, the margin for error in a comeback is too low, and it's almost impossible to succeed.

If we adjust the score downwards, 8:4 or 7:5 isn't a huge disadvantage, and even if we manage to turn the game around, it's not very meaningful.

In this case, the 39 rule becomes the golden ratio in professional competitions.

Seeing this incredible score, the majority of PRX fans in the audience were thrilled and shouted their support in unison!

"——Let's Go! Paper Rex!"

Perhaps inspired by this, PRX swept through the pistol and eco rounds in the second half.

In the bonus points, mindfreak made a brilliant call, successfully betting on a point and winning a narrow 4-for-5 exchange.

The score quickly narrowed to 6-9.

The situation suddenly turned sour.

After called the first tactical timeout.

……

"It's my fault." Qiuqiu took the initiative to admit her mistake, blaming herself, "I was a bit dizzy this time, and I got completely wrecked by Dafo's diff."

After switching to the attacking side, his solo map control frequently went wrong, and he was caught by the opposing team's f0rsakeN several times in a row.

The loss of sentry post position put EDG in a very passive position for attacking, and they frequently attacked heavily defended areas.

Actually, it wasn't just the offensive team; Qiuqiu didn't score many goals in the first half and was in very poor form.

In contrast, Zheng Yongkang was in great form this game, and unknowingly got the same number of kills as Su Ming.

"It's alright," Smoggy smiled. "Everyone in EDG has one or two people who have to fall asleep eventually. Besides, Something is under development too!"

Everyone took a closer look and burst out laughing.

Something was seriously developing the i series. Its score in this game was 1/14, and its only kill was from running and ganking nobody in the mid lane.

This game is very dependent on your current state.

In every game, someone will fall asleep and enter a human-like state.

"Wan Shunzhi, you're not in good shape, so just give him the items and let him join the group. Don't touch him."

After said, "In the previous rounds, the opponent liked to push the middle lane, destroy our Qile items, and put pressure on us. This round, let's seize this timing and try to control both sides as soon as possible!"

Su Ming nodded: "I understand what you mean."

The ultimate skill, [Undetectable by Gods and Demons], is exactly two skill points away from being available.

First, control both balls and see if there's a breakthrough. If there is, go all out to try and find an opportunity.

If there's no chance, save it for the next round, since this round is an eco round and they're at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry.

The round begins.

The Sentry Turret that Qiuqiu placed in the middle lane was immediately destroyed, and PRX continued their aggressive push forward in the middle lane.

Smoggy gave Su Ming a smoke grenade to the B site, helping him control the ball through the B tunnel.

After boldly absorbing the ball, Su Ming teleported back to A site controlled by his teammates and enjoyed the meal.

Only Yoru can appeal to both sides at the same time.

Even so, the resources and treatment Su Ming received as the "big brother" drew gasps of amazement from the viewers in the live chat.

"I'll flash, you'll lose your vision, let's get the information on bomb site A!"

Su Ming took the initiative to call for a small collaboration.

Information items like the Eye of the Black Dream and the Arrow of the Hunter are instantly killed if used in high-rank matches.

Why is it that in professional matches, there are always people who get hit by [Eye of Deception] or [Enemy-Seeking Arrow]?

The answer is simple.

—Attention control.

Using gunfire or other props to put pressure on the enemy and distract them can ensure the effectiveness of skills such as Information Vanguard.

Excellent vanguard specialists will proactively utilize the sounds created by their teammates, combined with their own cleverly placed items, to collect information.

This little tactical maneuver is a perfect example.

Su Ming used a high flashbang at bomb site A, allowing the [Eye of Deception] to take effect.

boom!

The eerie eye was quickly destroyed, but due to the backlighting, it was a fraction of a second too late, and the two people were exposed.

"The big pit is Jethawk, holding a sniper rifle in a straight frame; the flower shop is Starfire!"

Nobody reports information.

No sooner had he finished speaking than good news came from the middle of the road.

[EDG.Zmjjkk headshot and killed PRX.f0rsakeN]

"You like to pressure me? You like to arrest my God of Balls? Hehe, this point is yours, Brother Kang!" Zheng Yongkang's lips curled up as he swung the Justice ball that had just defeated the opponent.

Qiuqiu, who had been smacked, didn't argue but immediately called out the location:

"Batman B has already used Flash!"

"————!!!"

Within just two or three seconds, all sorts of information converged, and a clear PRX positioning diagram appeared.

Fireman is at B small, Jetwind and Stardust are at A, Qile was pushed out of A small and was sent to his death, there is only Skye at B point.

It was as if the brains of everyone in EDG were connected to the same neural network, and two words popped out.

"Raise an A!"

Night dew tears through the void, dons a mask, and steps into the rift, unnoticed by gods and demons!

"Who's next?"

Smoggy gave the last cigarette she had to the florist.

Another star was placed at the crater, activating the [Gravity Trap]!

The celestial body's wind-up was enough for Something to get out of the crater, but as soon as he dodged the skill, he was immediately hit by Black Dream's [Ghost Claw] that fell from the sky and was bound to the spot!

Jetwind's health dropped to 14 points, and he became deaf.

Something immediately threw a [Cloud Strike] at its feet, pulled out its short cannon, and was wary of the night dew that might appear at any moment.

With two Instant Clouds, giving him a full eight seconds of survival time, he was completely unafraid of EDG's combo and confident he could take down Nightfall.

"Ahhh!!"

Mindfreak exclaimed in surprise.

EDG.Raven killed PRX.Mindfreak.

No one expected that the victim was not Jiefeng, who had consumed the prop, but Xingzhuang, who was meditating and sealing his cigarette in the flower shop.

Su Ming had a clear mind. He knew too well about the possibilities of Something and Jiefeng. From the beginning, he did not intend to capture Jiefeng. Instead, he ran straight to the flower shop, seized Xingji's meditation timing, tore off the mask, and used the short cannon to kill him!

Picking up Minfreak's gun, Su Ming pulled out of cover and, together with his teammates, caught and killed the isolated Something.

Jingg's Brand, who was eager to return to defense, had just come out of A site when he was blocked by Zheng Yongkang using the Berserker sent by his teammate.

EDG executed a clean sweep, achieving a 4-0 exchange.

"..."

d4v41, who was playing with a bird at point B, turned his head and stared at his four teammates.

...Am I some kind of unfortunate person?

"Holy crap, ECO mode is overloaded!"

Rhythm laughed heartily, glanced at the comments, didn't find what he wanted to hear, and immediately started making up: "Oh, thanks to 'f0rsakeN for the gift'! Thank you, boss, thank you! May you live forever!!!"

【? ? ? 】

[You can make up your own comments in the bullet screen if you want to hear something classic, right?]

[We only have artists left on our side, and Uncle d4v41's stage is huge!]

[There are only wrong IDs, not wrong nicknames. The Buddha always sends big boobs.]

Although the opposing team gave them the opportunity, EDG seized it well, with almost every combo around Nightfall's ultimate being unique!

EDG, who turned the tide without any casualties and achieved an ECO victory, has upgraded their entire roster, especially Zheng Yongkang, who picked up the Dark Steed that Something bought and obtained its exclusive weapon.

Having acquired the offensive sniper weapon, he continued his hot streak, pushing all the way through B tunnel and eliminating d4v41, who was spinning and jumping to collect information at the bottom line of the B bomb site.

After point B was lost, PRX attempted a 4v5 counter-attack, but EDG held their ground.

The score is 11-6.

Rundong's face was flushed. Whenever the director focused the camera on him, he was either pounding the table or throwing pen caps!

But with no pause button in his hand, he couldn't do anything, much like a helpless husband tied up on the side in a Japanese action movie.

...EDG won the point, and the guns they were holding originally belonged to PRX!

...They want it, so you just give it to them?

How shameless!

At this point, even the least sluggish Qiuqiu started to recover, managing to save a 1v3 situation in the 18th round.

PRX was completely thrown into chaos. In the final point, even with four players betting on A, they couldn't stop EDG's attack.

Figure 1: A pearl in the deep sea.

EDG defeated PRX 13-6.

A 100% win rate, the world's strongest deep-sea pearl... has been broken!

The result caused an uproar among the commentators and audiences in each region.
