Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

The fourth round begins.

Stax tossed the rifle he had saved to Buzz, telling him to go out from A short and try to get a kill.

Buzz lived up to expectations, using silent contact to break the straight-framed Smogyy, but was then taken down by Qiuqiu, resulting in a one-for-one trade.

"The enemy's main smoke grenade is gone! They seem to have some potential!"

Stax's eyes lit up, and he started thinking.

Buzz went too far up; there's no way he'll be able to retrieve the spear that fell.

But they have four righteous hands, so they really have a chance to turn the tide.

"Mako, keep refilling B's cigarettes, we're betting on A!"

Stax directed the way.

With the enemy's Infernal Smoke destroyed and Viper's Poison Curse consistently targeting A, he deduced that EDG would ultimately attack A.

If you're betting on point A, you should leave the area in front of point A empty, and then create a false impression that you're heavily defending point B.

This is a very standard ECO betting tactic.

From the audience's perspective, one can't help but wonder, "Would anyone fall for such an obvious feint?"

...They really do.

The audience's information is transparent, but the players will get caught in a complex game of strategy, with each move leading to a seemingly contradictory conclusion: "A feint at point B = no one at point B" → "A feint at point B = we're being fooled into thinking no one is at point B" → "A feint at point B = we're being fooled into thinking no one is at point B, but there is actually someone there."

This is at the level of psychological game theory.

Even the best commander can't read minds. Noboyd clearly overthought things. After failing to gain any information from controlling the map, they opted to push for A.

"EDG has run headfirst into a police station!"

Upon seeing this, Su Di's tone became tense.

"Viper used smoke, and EDG crept silently all the way to the dark room! KangKang was in the lead... but three DRX players were hiding inside!"

"Please leave the car here to collect the information!"

Backfired.

EDG wanted to play a silent follow-up shot in this game, but KangKang didn't even think about using [Float Parade] and just silently walked in, running headfirst into three DRX players.

Boom!

[DRX.Mako headshots and kills EDG.Zmjjkk]

Rez was instantly killed.

DRX immediately seized the opportunity, and the three of them rushed out of the dark room.

Stax, who was at the front, executed a classic academic-style flash-jump maneuver, using his body to create firing lines for his teammates.

Mako was in superb form, using an extremely clean positioning move to eliminate Nobody who was following behind her by a fraction of a second.

With those shots already fired, Mako felt his gun barrel getting hot. He swung the crosshair sharply and aimed at the head of the enemy Nightfall, who was backflipping.

...Night dew? It's Raven!

In that instant, memories of this best-of-three series flashed through his mind; he had been captured and imprisoned by this ID countless times.

Hesitation will defeat.

boom!

Mako is gone.

Su Ming's aim returned to center, and he finished off Mako with a backhand shot.

With the kill reward in hand, he pulled the trigger and began firing in a wide arc.

The madman roared, and bullets rained down on Viper and Skye, who were following behind.

Bang bang bang!

EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Mako

[EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Zest]

EDG.Raven kills DRX.Stax

The steel-like left mouse button was released, and a wisp of smoke rose from the madman's gun muzzle.

There is one bullet left in the magazine.

The enemy has only one Night Dew left.

There was no follow-up shot from the front, and the bathroom was taken over by Qiuqiu.

Suddenly, Su Ming had a flash of inspiration and abruptly turned around, looking in the direction of A-xiao.

Within sight, a blue figure emerged, drawing a gun.

This Berserker, picked up from Mako and constantly roaring, has made its final echo!

boom!

"ah--!!"

Rb was startled, and his whole body visibly trembled.

[EDG.Raven headshots and kills DRX.Rb]

He executed the enemy's Nightfall and secured a quadra kill.

In a split second, Su Ming didn't even look at the result. He flicked the mouse and sprayed a "Qile Thumbs Up" spray paint onto the wall, then pressed "Undetected by Gods and Ghosts" and held the Prajna Mask.

"Only I can defeat myself."

The special voice line of Night Dew killing its counterpart fell.

A deafening roar of screams erupted from the entire stadium.

"Holy crap, is this really true?"

Danking jumped up from the chair, reaching its height, and stared in disbelief.

He clutched his head of blond hair, his tone filled with disbelief.

"I won't even mention the top-notch spray and spin control, but what is this 180-degree shot from behind with no information in sight? What reason do you have to turn around? Are you someone without a back to you?"

【? ? ? 】

Why is he so handsome?

[A duel between two young masters on TikTok, one who can instantly spray paint while discarding bullets – can you feel the excitement?]

[You know what, Raven actually is a TikTok streamer.]

[I've encountered this kind of thing in ranked matches countless times, I've reported it to death. If you cover up the ID in this video and post it, it'll definitely get a ten-year ban after manual review.]

Rb touched the water seeping from his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought: Oh, it's just sweat. I thought it was pee.

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

Smoggy, who was killed at the very beginning, watched the entire game from Su Ming's first-person perspective.

This photogenic handheld mask and spray paint combination is so extravagant, he has to admit he was blown away.

The director must have given it a first-person perspective, otherwise the audience wouldn't have been shouting so loudly.

Smoggy said sourly, "Dude, are your specs that exaggerated? Where did you buy them? Send me a copy."

"Can you play Night Dew this cool?" Zheng Yongkang was eager to try it out and planned to play Night Dew during the off-season when he returned to China. He was sure he could create some memorable moments.

Nobody, being more pragmatic, joked, "Dude, after you've finished showing off, could you please get me a ride? It's a 1500 yuan budget bag!"

Su Ming waved his hand.

"1500 yuan? Don't say another word. You guys can order whatever takeout you want tonight, it's on me!"

The EDG members, who were about to have dinner, finally smiled and praised him.

"The boss is so generous!"

"Su Shen is awesome!"

On the other hand, the atmosphere was completely different in the DRX players' seats.

"....."

Becoming the backdrop for a famous scene left them all somewhat silent.

This kind of situation, where there's a clear chance to turn the tide, but the opponent crushes that hope with their individual skill, is incredibly demoralizing.

Rb was initially startled, but after seeing the kill notification in the upper right corner, he relaxed and smiled.

再看一眼战绩，拿了四杀后，夜露人头已然来到了12/1/2，而自己则是0/4/0。

It's been overused by Diff.

Rb felt that he didn't want to touch the character of Nightfall for a while.

But it's a competition, so we have to bite the bullet and keep playing.

The game has entered its fifth round.

DRX reverted to its old tactics, focusing on solid map control and deploying firing lines and utility within the bomb site.

Their sudden change of tactics worked, and they successfully countered EDG's burst attack.

The score is 4-1.

However, EDG reacted quickly and immediately understood DRX's change in play, no longer wasting items on catching Night Dew.

Instead, they launched a second-time speed boost, combined with Su Ming's intentional saving of his ultimate move for one turn, plus Smoggy's Infernal Ultimate [Celestial Beam], to complete a counter-bombing attempt.

Perhaps spurred on by his teammate's impressive play, Zheng Yongkang got really into it, asked his teammate for a smoke grenade, and countered DRX's defensive rotation, securing a triple kill.

Smoggy maintained the feel of the previous round, consistently delivering firepower.

DRX is losing ground, its performance is sluggish, and it keeps losing points.

Buzz even had a memorable moment where he turned his back on justice and missed all three shots.

Seeing their opponents' slump, all three realized that this was a great opportunity to boost their stats.

"Leave me some heads!" Nobody cried out.

His record so far is still 3/3/6, making him seem like an outsider.

As everyone knows, when your teammates and the finishing hitters have wiped out everyone, the utility players and sentries are left with nothing.

In contrast, Qiuqiu is more laid-back.

He chuckled, clutching his sweaty hands, "They're so good at killing, let them kill! As long as we win the game, that's all that matters!"

Under these circumstances, the match in Tu Sanyuan Industrial Base ended in a one-sided rout, with the score settling at 11-1.

With this score, there's no need to worry about jinxing or celebrating at halftime.

The chat rooms across the live streams were flooded with comments, creating an atmosphere as festive as Chinese New Year.

[Let's advance to the final!]

[I'm just going to jinx it; I refuse to believe that 11:1 can be overturned, it's impossible!]

[Danking's Sharp Commentary: Is DRX's defense like Durant's baseline?]

[For viewers who missed the match, here's a quick fix: Picture 1 shows the character getting crushed, Picture 2 shows them getting sticky, and Picture 3 shows them reducing the sauce.]

[EDG players are drenched in sweat, struggling in a fierce battle, making numerous blunders, and fighting desperately... EDG delivers their victory speech.]

The formula for the groove is still chasing me.

The second half begins.

EDG spoiled Bohe's fans and lost the pistol round.

The screen was filled with comments like "Could it be?"

But soon, a brilliant gamble allowed EDG to turn the tide in the eco round.

In the final point, DRX's strong comeback failed to make any waves, and the score remained 13-2.

EDG advanced to the winners' bracket final with a score of 2:1.
