Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

"....."

After Mako's character died, she had already reviewed the situation in her mind and immediately understood how Su Ming had sneaked in and how she had missed her timing.

"What normal person would play like that?"

He was a little unconvinced and explained what he had thought.

Stax frowned after hearing this:

"If he touches you like that, next time you should just hold him directly."

"Okay!" Mako nodded. "I only have the standard pistol round, which isn't enough. Watch how I take him down in the rifle round!"

Losing just a pistol round didn't affect DRX's atmosphere; it was just the way they lost that made them want to complain.

They're just idiots playing against skilled opponents... They won't fall for Raven's tactics a second time.

Round two.

DRX chose to gamble with five people, but failed and then chose to give away the bag.

EDG didn't choose to come out and look for anyone, but quietly waited for the blaster to explode.

An uneventful round forced the commentators to start warming up the audience.

"This was foreshadowing!"

Danking glanced at the weapon choices and analyzed, "EDG both bought long-range weapons in the second round of the duel. Smoggy bought Guardian, Barty bought Haunted Creeper, and Qiuqiu didn't buy a weapon. These weapons are very powerful. They didn't miss any gunshots; DRX didn't know that!"

Su Di nodded:

"It seems like after the first map, EDG has figured out DRX's playstyle. They know you guys play steadily and won't feed kills, so they picked up a very good gun... Oh? The third round has started, and Qiuqiu has also picked up a long gun!"

"EDG wants to take this point!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danking and Su Di realized that something was wrong.

The director showed Su Ming's perspective; he had gone to B alone again.

Still pushing B site with big strides, still firing a shot and jumping out to peek into the shadowy body, still knowing the enemy wouldn't peek and continue pushing...

"this……"

Su Di has a very academic playing style, and seeing Raven's aggressive playstyle made him feel physically uncomfortable.

"You can't treat other people like idiots, they'll definitely be able to react."

Sure enough, Mako immediately offered him a B-type cigarette.

At the entrance of B passage, Qile's [Automatic Sentinel] was also placed at the exit.

Su Ming, who was close to the edge of the cigarette, heard the skill sound effect, immediately tapped a [Instant Cloud] on his feet, leaned out, and knocked down the activated little robot.

hum-

The [Nano Swarm] grenade was activated immediately, burning Su Ming and forcing him back into the smoke in B Tong.

This person…

Mako, who is also from an academic background, genuinely felt that the other party was incredibly bold.

"Isn't he afraid there might be people near the smoke? Is he using this smoke cover to create props?"

However, it must be said that Su Ming's strategy of using his abilities effectively eliminated all of their items at the B entrance, leaving only the Shadow's push to defend against the rush.

One push to the black is not enough to stop EDG's double duel bombardment.

DRX felt the defensive pressure, and this round, Buzz (Raz), who was standing in the elevator building, started to move towards B.

He had only taken two steps when he heard Mako's urgent voice.

"They gave us cigarettes on the second floor, so the other side might be asking for them—we're in!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mako saw a [Flash Cloud] fly out, and a swift wind rushed into the point.

Mako skillfully executed the classic Shadow Guard B combo of "Push Black + TP".

He teleported to the box at Exit B and blocked Jetwind's [Instant Cloud].

In the current version, the 4.5-second [Instant Cloud] is truly authoritative; a single smoke grenade is enough to help Jetwind drag out the debuff time of almost all items.

By the time the smoke clears, Jetwind will have long since recovered from its blinding state.

But it's okay...

Mako felt that this position was mysterious. Even if the opponent realized it, he still had the advantage of being high up and attacking low.

Furthermore, Rb also returned to defend, throwing the remaining [Nano Swarm] at the B sluice gate to prevent EDG from following up with additional shots.

All the advantages are directed in their own favor.

"We will win!"

Mako revealed a resolute look in her eyes.

The smoke dissipated the next second.

Jetwind, gun in hand, looked toward the bomb site, taking small, quick steps and revealing a side profile.

Bang bang bang!

Mako opened fire suddenly, and the Mirage unleashed a barrage of bullets at an extremely high rate.

But Su Ming reacted too quickly. When his body was hit by the first shot, he completed a high-sensitivity flick shot using muscle memory, hitting Youying's body. Then, he made a slight adjustment to control the gun, and the second bullet pierced Youying's head.

EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Mako

After killing one person, Su Ming was immediately finished off by Buzz, who was launched by a bomb.

1 for 1.

The main cigarette was replaced, so it seems like it's only a minor loss...

however.

Something happened in Area A!

EDG.Zmjjkk killed DRX.Zest

[EDG.Smoggy headshots and kills DRX.Stax]

"They suggested A!"

Stax scratched his head.

The opposing team's Jetpack flew into point B alone. Just as they were about to move, point A accelerated.

With just him and Zest, they simply couldn't hold off the bomb site; EDG's firepower was too overwhelming.

Smoggy fired the shot at him, but he couldn't even fire his own gun...

Point A, A2, and mid lane have no map control, and it's still a 2v4 situation. This match is unplayable. Buzz and Rb choose to save their weapons.

The two huddled in a corner and began their team review.

"Oh no, I messed up." Mako sighed.

Although he didn't land a headshot on his side when he turned, the illusion spray and spray was actually not a misfire, but rather a very stable option.

Unfortunately, the opponent's stats were too outrageous, and he was instantly killed with a counterattack.

Faced with this numerical anomaly, he truly felt powerless.

"Raven is just here to use up his resources and then find someone to self-destruct," Buzz said. "We shouldn't waste too many people on him. Once he gets information about the number of people, he'll accelerate his frontal assault!"

"Yes." Stax nodded vigorously. "He likes dry touching, so let's punish him at the front! Two people are enough!"

The DRX coach was pleased to hear the players' positive review and abandoned his original idea of ​​calling a timeout.

Round four.

After losing three straight points, DRX made an adjustment, moving Shadow to the elevator building to defend the center, ready to return to defend A2 at any time.

Have Buzz and Rb, the two who kept their rifles, set up a double-staff setup at B Exit.

Buzz stood, while Rb squatted in front of him.

Ten seconds later.

The Raven has finally arrived.

Instead of taking big steps the whole time, he moved quietly and stealthily, then pulled out through the B exit.

Boom!

Faced with two aircraft, the Jetwind was completely outmatched.

Rb, who had just secured the kill, was about to smile when his screen suddenly turned green!

—It's Skye's Instant Burst Flash.

Nobody seized the opportunity when they fired at Jetwind and threw out this extremely difficult-to-remember flashbang.

Buzz immediately threw out [Surprise Flip] to bounce himself back to cover, but Rb, who was crouching in front of him, was blasted into the middle of the road by this explosive charge.

[EDG.Zmjjkk headshots and kills DRX.Rb]

As soon as the flash disappeared, Buzz found himself standing on a planet, directly hit by a Gravity Trap. At the same time, enemy Raz flew to the bulletin board in area B and took him out with two shots.

EDG.Zmjjkk headshots and kills DRX.Buzz

"this……"

Stax was speechless.

With both spears lost, it was impossible to win this point.

The remaining three DRX members tried to feed the enemy, but Zheng Yongkang, who had triggered the "Dimensional Reduction Strike" talent, pulled them out and slammed three more kills, securing a pentakill ACE!

"Reze has a big attack next turn, be careful... Let's control B-channel, we can't let the enemy Jetwind play like this anymore."

Stax sensed something was wrong, but the situation on the field didn't allow him to think too much about it.

In the fifth round, DRX rushed to get a long spear and half armor, but they were short on items, with Qile only having one [Nano Swarm].

As soon as the light screen disappeared, the voice line of Raz's ultimate ability was heard.

「——Here comes the party!」

EDG directly proposes A!

Without any fancy preamble, the two duels went straight to bombs and the point.

Rez, carrying a camera, cleared out the entire A bomb site.

no one.

The DRX players, who were on guard, retreated to the back post early, preparing for a 5v5 defensive counterattack.

They prepared their props and waited for the smoke to clear before preparing to rebel against the Qing dynasty.

But EDG played very proactively in this point.

After planting the package, both Duel and Skye got close to the edge of the police spawn's cigarette.

"Come on, is everything ready?" Nobody called out.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

With only the desire for kills in his eyes, Kang Kang impatiently began the countdown, "3, 2, 1—"

"Go!"

Skye used her smoke screen and instantly used her Bombardier Bird, and he immediately slashed out horizontally.

Stax, who was using the item, was killed by Zheng Yongkang, but he was also finished off by Buzz, who successfully backflashed.

The second Nobody pulled out was also shot dead by Buzz beforehand.

Having secured a double kill, Buzz, who was gaining momentum, suddenly saw the figure of a white-haired woman in his field of vision.

This kind of information gun was too easy for Su Ming. After taking Buzz's head, he positioned the crosshair at a distance of about one's body length from the police station's exit.

The next moment, a surge of black mist erupted and engulfed Jetwind.

Su Ming stood motionless in place, and before his vision went completely black, a blurry figure appeared.

He pulled the trigger reflexively.

Boom!

EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Mako

"Here it comes! The king of vertical racks has arrived!"

Danking clenched his fist excitedly and said in a rapid-fire voice, "After killing Shadow, Raven used a Cloudfall to keep himself alive... Qiuqiu sneaked into the elevator building and took down Zest, but then finished off Rb who was standing on the balcony."

How should EDG handle a 2v1 situation in the clutch?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Ming, upon confirming the enemy's location, switched to his short-range weapon and unleashed a double EQ combo, charging right into Rb's face.

A dragon soars in the sky, a short-range cannon charges right in its face!

"Two sprays and it's over! You didn't get a chance at all! Triple kill, done!"

Danking's face was flushed; he was completely absorbed in the experience and thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

"Raven's Jetwind play these past few rounds has been absolutely amazing!"

"A madman's one-on-one attack, a self-destructive entry, a steel-like straight gun, a graceful short-range cannon rushing in..."

"This is practically another version of me in the world!"

The underlying logic of FPS is interoperability.

As a former professional CS player, he could see just how important Su Ming was.

Don't be fooled by the fact that KangKang is currently getting the most kills for EDG. The reason he can play so comfortably in the front line is entirely because SuMing, who plays on the side lane, creates enough space for him to deal damage, allowing him to fully utilize his individual abilities.

First, Mako couldn't control Jetwind's solo push, then the items were used up, putting a lot of pressure on the team's defense, and then Jetwind's self-destructive charge forced DRX to divert more manpower to deal with Raven.

The high and low double-team finally managed to kill Jefeng, but EDG pulled a little trick, using Jefeng as bait to launch a counter-attack...

In this round, while DRX was still worried about what Jetwind might do in B tunnel, EDG directly moved to A.

DRX's defensive rhythm and their originally perfectly rational, iron-willed defensive formation were completely thrown into disarray.

With this loss, DRX's economy collapsed, and they surrendered their sixth point.

DRX0: Trailing 6-0, called the first tactical timeout.

Even then, Danking was still praising those few points in the live stream.

"From today onwards, there will only be one God Su in this world, just like there will only be one God Egg!"

Danking glanced at Su Di and grinned, "Kasa Gou, be smart and stop using this to extort money. Think of a new nickname."

"The one I touched!"

Su Di rolled his eyes at him, glanced at the barrage of comments all saying "+1", and sincerely exclaimed, "Su Shen really dared to fight these few points, he wasn't afraid at all, and he put a lot of pressure on DRX."

"But I have to say, you should never play like him in ranked matches, or your teammates will flame you to death."

Su Di saw things very clearly.

Raven's playstyle can only work if he has a very high tactical position within the team and very strong individual skills.

The above two points are just basic conditions.

To achieve the same effect, one needs both a "mentality that is not afraid to take the blame" and "top-notch awareness of boundaries".

Without top-tier sideline awareness, you're just feeding kills.

Even the most skilled players will make mistakes in this kind of gameplay, and there will inevitably be times when they give away kills. At that point, they will need to be able to withstand the pressure and deal with the opponent's deprivation tactics.
