Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

Su Ming was already used to being flagged for boosting his account. In the past few days, he had received countless reports while trying to climb the ranks, and he even went viral once, getting banned for six hours and being identified as a boosting agent.

Having survived twelve trials, Little Something is still a bit too overpowered in the Chinese server environment.

"My performance this game was pretty good..."

In the fourth round, the attacking side, having lost the long rifle round, had to enter an eco round again.

They chose to push five Justice Silents down the middle lane.

Purely just shooting.

This tactic is surprisingly effective in casual games where players tend to give opportunities. The defending Shadow was pulled out to engage in a gunfight and was instantly killed by Cxy's Reina with a single shot.

Once the smoke position was lost, the middle lane was breached, and the pressure on the defending team immediately increased dramatically.

Youying said shamefully, "Mine, I lost an M4."

Judging from the way he's called Phantom, he's a player who switched from CS:GO, which is why he was able to reach such a high score so early. However, he still struggles a bit in these top-ranked matches, which becomes a weak point for him.

Su Ming didn't comfort him. Five figures appeared in the mid lane on the minimap, and he immediately chose to push out from A site.

This approach was not wrong, but the attacking side made a more decisive choice. The five players in the middle lane rushed to the second floor of B, where they traded kills and upgraded their weapons.

By the time Su Ming circled around to B main, the enemy had already planted the bomb, leaving him with a 1v3 situation.

After Su Ming knocked one down, he didn't have much room to maneuver and was finished off by KZHao's Sky.

In the fifth round, the opponent tasted success in the middle lane and continued to control the middle.

The defending team also made adjustments, moving Shadow to B main, placing Rez and Skye on the second floor of B, and Su Ming in the elevator room, preparing for a quick burst and flash counter-clear.

The [Guiding Falcon] exploded, emitting a loud cry. Su Ming pulled out of cover and saw four bald guys who were eating white, but before he could fire, Skye's bullet took him out in an instant.

"???"

Su Ming spread his hands, speechless.

If you kill me for nothing, what can I do? I'll just give you the loot.

A fierce firefight broke out in the middle lane, with only one player being traded for three, resulting in a one-for-three exchange.

The Shadow was also killed by the healer who was being ganked by B.

The security guards had no choice but to protect the guns.

In the sixth round, Su Di, a security guard, switched to defending Area B. Su Ming stood on the B2 floor and positioned himself directly in the middle, but was pulled out by Skye and instantly knocked down by a single bullet.

"Skye is that accurate??"

Su Ming scratched his head, feeling that the other party seemed to be using cheats to pre-fire, but he also knew that the Sky streamer named 'KzHao' was a former professional player, so he didn't suspect anything.

With his death, the enemy team immediately moved up to B, losing points again.

The score is now 3-3.

The defending side ran out of money and entered an eco round.

"Listen to me, brothers."

After being chased down, everyone's hands were getting cold. Su Ming knew they couldn't fight individually anymore, so he said, "The other side likes to control the middle. Our strategy of countering the middle clear was correct, but we just couldn't match up the guns. This time, let's go all out. Su, you come to the middle, throw a camera behind the box, and put all the tripwires at the B bomb site."

"Shadowbringer, you stay in the elevator area, no need to give smokes to mid. If Skye engages, I'll handle it. As soon as the cam spots someone, push the black screen. Skye, you use Flashbang, I'll pull out, remember to finish me off."

"Rez drove a small car at A site to get information on the front point. When someone was there, he ran away, and we went back to defend the bomb site."

In this situation, someone stepped forward to take command and everyone agreed to execute the tactics immediately.

"Oh my, so you even understand the concept of a 'trap'..."

Qiuqiu was surprised.

Although it was a bit rudimentary, it was indeed a tactic he was very familiar with.

--trap.

Trap play.

Defensive tactics frequently used in professional matches.

A trap typically consists of four parts.

First, triggering.

Second, control props, such as the Shadow's push, the Iron Wall's tremor, and the flash.

Third, lethal items, such as Ryze's bombs and Brand's fireballs.

Fourth, follow-up shooting.

Triggering, simply put, refers to the conditions under which a trap is triggered after it has been set up.

The simplest method is for the player to jump around, peek, and physically gather information about a certain location. Once they see someone, they will activate the trap.

Secondly, there are security cameras, tripwires, and information props such as Qile's chickens.

Place these items deep within the enemy's territory where they can only be dismantled at a certain location. Once dismantled, immediately use subsequent items to follow up, and most importantly, finish them off with a finishing shot.

By this standard, it would be better for Qiuqiu's Raz to go to the middle lane to participate in the counter-clearing, since he can replenish the killing items, but obviously, this Jetwind has more confidence in his own shooting skills.

The round begins.

The four attackers, excluding the healer, returned to the middle lane.

In the elevator building, cxy瑞娜【睥睨】cleared the way, and the four of them pulled out from the sides to cover the empty middle lane.

Seeing that the opposing mid laner was still not putting any pressure on her, Skye moved to the dead spot, activated [Tiger of the Forest], and headed towards the second floor of B.

The Tiger of the Forest has a nearsighted view, only able to see a range of about ten meters. When it turns a corner, all it can see is Jetwind, who is holding a standard-issue small pistol.

Bang bang bang!

After firing and smashing the enemy beast, Su Ming retreated to cover and activated his ultimate skill.

"Get out of my way!"

The sound of hurricane blades echoed throughout the arena.

"Attack B2!" cxy commanded.

The enemy's eco mode is only threatened by the Jetwind when it's fully charged.

A large, lurking wind poses a significant threat; who knows what unconventional location it might fly to?

Now that we have the information, the threat level has been greatly reduced, and we can simply use tools to kill him.

Jetwind's Hurricane Blade only has five darts, making it difficult to handle items.

"Follow me!"

cxy瑞娜 took the lead and threw out the [睥睨].

If the opponent wants to shatter this ethereal eye, it will take at least two darts. CXY waited for the blind effect to take effect before pulling out his dart, giving Jetwind no chance.

Meanwhile, Hanghang's Jiefeng helped him hold up the elevator to prevent anyone from smoking outside.

Then he saw it.

Behind the box, a camera emitting a red light silently watched everything.

Hanghang's heart skipped a beat, and his scalp tingled.

"...This is bad!"

The next instant, a shadow orb and an emerald bird suddenly shot out from the elevator building at the same time!

With his vision blurred by both white and black, and his ears deafened, Hanghang immediately placed a [Cloudfall] at his feet to protect himself and cxy Ruina.

Rewind two seconds.

After defeating the [Tiger of the Forest] and parrying the Hurricane Blade, Su Ming jumped onto the boxes on the B2 floor.

As the trap was triggered, he held down the spacebar, floated into the air and pulled out cover, and the classic combination of [Wind Chaser] and [Soaring] appeared once again!

But this time, it was a double EQ combo.

The white-haired woman, having parried the hurricane blade, soared high into the air. Ignoring the white smoke grenades beneath her feet, she looked towards Skye and Shadow, who, after being blinded, were leaping and bounding about, trying to increase the difficulty of their shots.

call out!

call out!

Two darts, like precise scalpels for craniotomy, instantly pierced the skulls of the two men, giving them no chance to run back to cover.

The refreshed [Wind Chaser] skill was activated, and Su Ming pressed it immediately, flying to the enemy's [Instant Cloud] area, behind the smoke grenade.

He turned sideways and slid into the smoke, only to see another Jetwind pointing a gun at him, and Reina positioned towards the elevator building.

The enemy was actually aware of the possibility of an attack from the rear.

There's no time to admire the enemy's awareness; life and death will be decided in these milliseconds!

Only those who act swiftly can prevail.

Su Ming remained calm and composed, not forcing himself to aim at the head, but simply adjusting the mouse and pressing... the right mouse button!

Hurricane Blade Five-Shot Combo!

fast!

too fast!

Hanghang died before he could even pull the trigger.

After killing one more person, Su Ming switched to his standard setup, firing a triple right-click and easily taking down Reina from behind.

At this point, the "Instant Cloud" effect that Hanghang Jiefeng had clicked 4.5 seconds earlier finally dissipated.

Skye and Shadow, who were holding guns to [Instant Cloud], stared blankly at the battlefield that had already ended.

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"Brother, are you really my dad?! You're such a killer, why don't you finish killing them all?!"

The two random players were so excited that their voices cracked.

Su Di and Qiu Qiu were also generous with their praise.

"Dude, you've got fried fish! That's amazing!"

"Damn, bro, this is totally worthy of being a duel player for EDG!"

The current main duelist for EDG is Zmjjkk.

The man who became a strong contender for the title of "World's Best Sniper" at the Tokyo Masters.

Although it was supposed to be a boastful praise segment, the compliment of "being able to come to EDG to compete" coming from Qiuqiu's mouth is already a very high level of recognition.

"What do you mean, Wan Shunzhi!"

Inside the EDG club's training room.

Qiuqiu turned her head and saw a young boy with glasses and a thin build, who was looking at her with feigned anger.

It was none other than Zmjjkk himself, a young man named Zheng Yongkang.

"Hehehe!" Qiuqiu let out a wicked laugh and said with a grin, "We have a guy here named Jiefeng who's always flying around in the air. He's been ripping off CXY, Hanghang, and Da Dongyan like fish in the top game. I'm going to get him to come and take you down! My sights are set on the Los Angeles Championship."

Zheng Yongkang pursed his lips, walked forward, pressed the TAB key on the keyboard, and checked the score.

"I've blown up top-ranked players before, come on, let me see how good he is at killing... 15/2 in six rounds? That's good at killing? Uh, what are you four doing, may I ask?"

Zheng Yongkang looked surprised, then turned to Qiuqiu with a mocking expression.

While Jiefeng's performance was outstanding, none of his teammates had a positive score. Qiuqiu only got three kills, and Sudi's security guard didn't get a single kill.

Zheng Yongkang laughed heartily:

"Big brother, you guys are such a rip-off!"

"Can you stop barking like Wang Senxu? Watch me play, okay?"

Qiuqiu retorted, squinting her eyes intently, and with a clean and decisive move, she took down the lone Da Dongyan healer.

"Did you kill him or not?! Shout!" Qiuqiu grinned crookedly.

"Wow, awesome." Zheng Yongkang crossed his arms and chuckled, "Aren't you going to let your big brother get a pentakill? I really don't want to play anymore!"

"Uh..." Qiuqiu scratched his head, then said sheepishly into his microphone, "Sorry bro, there was a dog barking next to me, it was so annoying I forgot to let you get a pentakill!"

"It's okay, I don't care about that." Su Ming glanced at the match history panel, looked at his teammates' economy, and laughed, "Just help me get a Dark Steed."

"Huh?" Qiuqiu was both amused and exasperated. "Dude, is stealing one of your kills worth 4700?"

"Hey, you guys are all the same!" Su Ming immediately asked for a gun.

"You've already called me 'bro,' so what else is there to say? Here you go!" Qiuqiu said, showing her true colors.
