Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

On the EDG players' bench.

After easily securing the first point, everyone looked cheerful.

Nobody looked at Su Ming and teased, "You're too cunning; you actually had this trick up your sleeve."

This refers, of course, to the initial moment when Nightfall was captured and killed.

That timing wasn't just "good luck" in Rb's eyes, but rather a premeditated design by Su Ming.

The defender, Yoru, has two TP release techniques.

The first method is to throw a defensive teleport into the other half of the map before the game starts.

It's mainly to prevent rushing.

Excluding the pre-race countdown and anchor point movement time, the duration is less than 20 seconds.

The second type is the forward pressure survival TP.

To maximize the benefits of TP anchor points, skilled players often throw them out the moment the light screen disappears.

The teleportation anchor lasts for exactly 30 seconds.

This expert attention to detail allowed Su Ming to create targeted designs.

Seize the moment when the enemy's first anchor point disappears and the second anchor point has not yet been placed, and make a trial counter-attack.

"Hehehe, DRX must have studied us, learned some of our established tactics..." Qiuqiu laughed sinisterly, "But they never expected that our Master Su had such a trick up his sleeve!"

"Nonsense." Su Ming smiled slightly. "They didn't pay me tuition; they learned it on their own. How could they possibly have grasped the essence?"

In fact, this was a very common "anti-night dew" tactic in the "night dew" era two years later.

When a system becomes prevalent and mainstream, it will naturally begin to infiltrate.

Various countermeasures and entirely new tactics will be developed and updated.

Su Ming learned a lot from his memories of the Bangkok Masters.

Although G2 was only in the early stages of the "Yoru era" back then, they were not a force that DRX could easily rival today.

The traditional lineups of today have this kind of vicious cycle, where you often think the enemy is on the first level, you are on the second level, and after the battle, you find out that the opponent is actually on the fifth level... It's like a multi-layered cake.

EDG has a relatively weak tactical foundation in traditional lineups, so if the opponent plays the same old lineup as before, they will be fine.

But DRX just had to play the night game with them...

Then I'm sorry.

I didn't originally intend to use a strategy of overwhelming force.

Round two.

With inferior weaponry, DRX stopped pushing forward and made a tentative gamble on 5B, only to be met with Su Ming's solo run through B.

After Fei Jiang killed one of them, Su Ming immediately teleported away.

With all the information gathered, EDG immediately took point A and easily secured the victory.

DRX wanted to give away the kill, but Su Ming directly carried the Flying General and followed Nobody's [Tiger of the Forest] out to find kills, and then killed two more people before dying.

"Damn it..."

Stax glanced at the stats panel and couldn't help but curse twice.

In the current version, Nightfall's ultimate skill only requires seven points, which isn't much.

But it's only the third round, and the opponent's Nightfall ultimate move is already in the 'ready' state.

Two headshots in the pistol round, three headshots plus deaths this round, a total of six ultimate points, and control of the ball...

Looking at her own Night Dew again, she realized that her ultimate skill only had a pitiful two points left.

Stax, as the commander, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The prize round begins.

In this round, Rb switched to area A to control the front pressure map of the bathroom.

At the same time, just as the teleportation anchor point disappeared and he was about to launch another attack, the enemy's [Float Parade] arrived.

Rb quickly knocked the car away, put on a fake body to delay, and tried to run away.

But EDG was too decisive, as if they were certain that no one was behind him. Smoggy threw out a flying disc to increase his teammates' movement speed, and Zheng Yongkang immediately double-jumped to the face, wielding the [Buck] shotgun and started firing!

EDG.Zmjjkk kills DRX.Rb

"this……"

Rb was killed twice in a row due to this timing error, and he realized something was wrong.

Before he could think it through, the rhythm on the field suddenly shifted from stillness to movement!

Zheng Yongkang substituted his madman and passed the Bucks to Su Ming.

Su Ming activated his ultimate skill and entered the point, spotting the smoker standing in the recess below A2 behind Area A.

You have to be bold to play Night Dew.

Seeing an opportunity to kill, Su Ming stopped collecting information and threw a dummy on the ground.

Then, after throwing a flashbang at the wall above the police station's door, he quickly activated the dummy and tore off the mask!

Sizzle—!

Upon hearing that spacetime had been torn apart, Mako immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

Two night dews appeared before him almost simultaneously. Before he could distinguish the real from the fake, a blue flash suddenly appeared on the wall in the distance.

Which one is true? Which one is false?

...Should I dodge first, or attack first?

A flood of information rushed into my mind instantly.

Mako seemed to be under the spell of the Boundless Void, her brain went blank, and she just fired randomly.

boom!

EDG.Raven kills DRX.Mako

One shot took out the smoker, and Su Ming instantly possessed his madman, setting the crosshair towards the dark room.

If there are still people in Area A, this is the only place they can be.

The next second, a blurry figure suddenly emerged from the exit of the dark room.

The moment the crosshair aligned with the enemy's head, Su Ming pulled the trigger.

[EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Buzz]

Three people died in Area A, and it fell instantly.

Zest and Stax, who had just returned to defend, looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to save their weapons.

But Zest got a bad idea. He was standing on the second floor when he heard footsteps and fired two shots outwards. He was immediately hit by a madman's bullet.

[EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Zest]

"you……"

Seeing this, Stax didn't know whether to say he was unlucky or that he shouldn't have mixed cigarettes.

On the other side, Su Ming, who had just lost one, couldn't help but laugh and quickly said, "Don't put the bag down yet! Put it down for me! Let me eat another ball."

Nobody, who was planting the kit, and Smoggy, who was having a close encounter with the skill ball in the bathroom, quickly let go.

With a triple kill and ball control while planting the bomb, Su Ming, who had just used his ultimate skill, now had five points in his ultimate skill.

Just two points short...

Danking, who witnessed this scene in the live stream, was filled with envy.

"When Raven played Nightfall, his tactical importance was truly high; the whole team revolved around him. He had unlimited firing rights, skill orbs and resources were all given to him, and even Kang Kang would provide cover fire..."

"Damn it, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

Danking turned to Su Di, angrily saying, "Kasa, why didn't TyLoo build their strategy around me? If you gave me those tactical resources, I'd be nothing more than a sticker player!!"

"Oh……"

Su Di remained silent, only letting out a sneer.

This attack, while not highly harmful, is extremely insulting.

Danking, who was originally just a veteran actor trying to fool the audience with comments, has become a real star.

Amidst their bickering, DRX called the first timeout.

"Rb, you should have noticed by now, right?"

The DRX coach saw it very clearly: when Rb was caught in the bathroom, EDG had already made a move in B tunnel.

EDG didn't just blindly guess and gamble; they premeditatedly timed their attack, launching a small counter-purge on both sides simultaneously to counter Nightfall's advance.

Rb nodded and smiled wryly, "Coach, I just realized it myself. Sorry, I lost two points."

"Don't blame yourself," the DRX coach said gently. "Paying two points to figure out the opponent's counter-tactics isn't a loss... You need to optimize the details of your teleport usage later on."

"OK."

Rb nodded; he decided to trigger the anchor point a few seconds before the TP was about to dissipate.

"Let's eco for the next point, don't force it."

After glancing at the remaining timeout, the DRX coach said quickly, "The opponent is too familiar with our usual push-up tactics, so let's not embarrass ourselves. Let's stick to our old ways."

"Be very careful, don't let Raven get any more kills. He's taking all of EDG's resources, and his ultimate skill points are snowballing too fast. You guys need to come up with more countermeasures."

After glancing at Nightfall's three-round record of 8/1/2, the DRX coach felt a headache coming on.

The same thing happened when we played against GIA. Whenever this guy played Nightfall or played against a key city in the game, it was like he was on steroids, and he started going on a violent rampage.

Raven's incredible individual stats are 70% attributed to his bombing of GIA, which significantly boosted his numbers.

I hope this one won't be like that too...
