Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

Chapter 86 Confidence is always the greatest weapon

On the EG players' bench.

Seeing the score tied at 6-6, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You passed!"

Potter nodded in satisfaction.

The sample size for EDG Deep Sea Pearl is only the match against PRX, but the sample size for the Night Dew system also includes the matches against GIA and DRX.

After three matches, the EG coaching staff's analysis shows that the Night Dew system is a defensive-oriented lineup.

Press forward to control the map, quickly rotate points, use flashbangs to clear enemy positions, and use ultimate abilities to defend...

These are all the roles that Yoru plays on the defensive side.

In comparison, they did not think that Yoru's offensive capabilities were very strong.

In the match between EDG and PRX, Shenhai also secured 9 points through defense, which led to their victory.

At the same time, considering the portal mechanism of the Source Works stronghold, which greatly enhances Nightfall's flexibility and makes it even more unpredictable, EG chose to release the Deep Sea instead of the Source Works.

"Well done, kids."

Potter, like a gentle older sister, praised her teammates: "Constantly shortening the attack time means we only have one attack opportunity per round. To score six points with such a low margin for error, in my mind, you are the 'Best Five'!"

"We've already won half the game..."

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

"It's in the bag! We're halfway to victory!"

Nobody chuckled and said, "I thought EG had some big trick up their sleeve in Deep Sea, but it turns out they just dragged it out to the end and used a bomb... It's a pity we lost the pistol round, and at least two of the later rounds were clutch situations that came down to timing. We were just a hair's breadth away from victory."

Qiuqiu nodded in agreement.

Only by playing against them in person can you truly appreciate just how strong the individual skills of this EG team are.

While both Fnc and EG employ a compressed map control strategy, EG lacks the top-tier, academically-trained map control skills of Fnc, making it less likely for them to gain an advantage in map control.

In the first half, when EDG controlled the map until the end, it was often a 50/50 match.

In the final bombing round, it all comes down to individual skill.

Everyone says Demon1's firepower is unmatched, but in reality, what EDG felt more deeply was Jawgemo and Ethan.

The former is too good at timing and too daring. Even when playing in a smoke position, he plays like a mad dog, providing an extremely comfortable output environment for the team's carry. He can be called a top-notch supporting player.

The latter, on the other hand, plays with exceptional cunning, relying on strategy to score points rather than engaging in direct gunfights. Not only is their skill with props superb, but their ability to maneuver through smoke and walls is also effortless.

These two are the cornerstones of EG's team system.

"At this crucial stage of the game, we don't need to hold back anymore. In the second half, let's bring out everything we've practiced!" After smiled. In the game against PRX, after the defense took a 9-point lead, they started to play more conservatively...

After all, that was just a group stage match, and they didn't even lose their resurrection armor. Revealing too much information would have been a loss.

But EDG never expected that, perhaps because their strongest Deepsea player, who had just defeated PRX, was so intimidating, no one picked their Deepsea player again as they fought their way up the leaderboard.

This concealment led to the decisive victory.

Nobody knows that the strongest point of the Night Dew system is actually its offensive capability.

"Xiao Ming, it's your turn in the second half!"

Nobody patted Su Ming on the shoulder. Since it's called the "Night Dew System," it naturally relies heavily on the performance of the person who controls Night Dew.

"Take me to a pistol round first."

"receive."

Su Ming took a sip of coffee.

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

Halftime break has ended.

During the pistol round, Su Ming and Qiuqiu walked outside the B screen.

Meanwhile, the main EDG team of three positioned themselves in the mid lane and behind A, gathering information.

This is a very classic opening formation for the Night Dew system.

— Double-sided line.

Unlike the default positioning of the traditional '41' or '131', Night Dew can quickly change positions, can move along the sidelines, and can also TP back when firepower is needed on the front.

During the first 30 seconds of the game, teams using the Night Dew system seem to have an extra point of attack on each side.

"I've got all my gear ready," Su Ming said. "Wan Shunzhi, give me a Justice rifle. I'll go for the first gun position. If I die, you pick up my gun."

"OK!"

Without saying a word, Qiuqiu threw out a piece of justice.

For attacking sentry positions, buying items isn't very useful; going straight for Justice is a common choice.

Su Ming taking the first gun position puts pressure on him; even if he dies, he can still pick up the gun, so he doesn't lose out either way.

But the commentators and viewers from God's perspective saw a vampire king who bought all sorts of props and had top-tier guns, and a little Qile following behind him with a wronged look on his face.

[Regarding the position of the emperor within the team.]

[Reporting EDG for exploiting child labor!]

The football legend has sacrificed so much for this family.

Amidst the teasing comments in the live chat, the in-game light screen disappeared.

The round has officially begun.

The two walked to Exit B, and Qiuqiu first gave them a [Sentry Cannon] to get the information.

"—!!!"

As soon as the gun emplacement was lowered, they immediately raised their heads and looked up, raising their gun barrels.

Boom!

The enemy opened fire and destroyed the artillery emplacement.

A "Justice"... Upon hearing the gunshot, Su Ming fired the flashbang he had been holding!

Immediately, he and Qiuqiu executed a double pull coordination!

Within sight, Jawgemo was positioned against a pillar, his arm exposed as he aimed his gun, while Demon1 stood on a high box in Site B, wielding the Justice Destroyer.

"Bang--!"

Justice's single-shot intervals are already long. Two shots hit the turret, and then he was hit by a flashbang. Demon1 could only rely on his instincts to fire a free shot before immediately flying back to the bomb site.

The shot hit Qiuqiu's body but failed to kill him.

Jawgemo, holding the Ghostly Strike, also struck the body of the ball from behind the pillar.

"Holy crap, they're all hitting me?"

In a fit of anger, Qiuqiu snapped.

Because Jawgemo had already retracted into the pillar, he unfolded the 'recycled smoke' on the left side of the pillar.

This is a classic way to play Xingyuan in Deep Sea Pearl B-channel.

He fired a shot from the front, then, using the cover of the "recovery smoke," hopped and skipped back to the bomb site.

Unless you're extremely unlucky, you generally won't get arrested.

Qiuqiu angrily tried to smoke with his little standard cigarette, but to no avail.

The smoke from the recycled material dissipates, while smoke rises from the inlet of Pack B.

The entire B-Tong Avenue became calm and peaceful.

"What do you mean now?"

When Qiuqiu raises a question, he usually stops here.

Going any further is too risky. Not only can the combination of Night Dew and Qile not break through, but they are also vulnerable to being countered.

Su Ming glanced at the timer, which had about sixteen or seventeen seconds left, and said unhurriedly, "I'll absorb some energy and hold the position for a while."

After controlling the ball, the two focused on blocking the edge of the smoke and the scalp position on the GG card.

Time passed slowly, and just when Su Ming thought he was going to get nothing and started thinking about how to attack in the next round, a figure suddenly emerged from the pillar.

It's Jawgemo!

Su Ming jolted awake, his body reacting faster than his mind, and his aim rapidly shifted.

Boom!

[EG.Jawgemo headshots and kills EDG.CHICHOO]

EDG.Raven headshots EG.Jawgemo

"Holy shit!"

Qiuqiu's expression was contorted.

"Does this guy dare to do something like that?"

When the smoke was being collected, Jawgemo only made a fake footstep to return to the bomb site; he didn't actually move and was still hiding behind a pillar, firing his gun.

Playing this game like that as a main smoker is incredibly daring!

If it weren't for the two-sided attack and the player cautiously holding their position, he might have actually pulled off a successful maneuver!

Even Su Ming was surprised to find that Jawgemo was still in the same place. Compared to his Bangkok days in his memories, he was even more radical now.

However, being radical can come at a terrible price.

With Jawgemo gone, EG lost their main smoke grenade launcher, significantly increasing their defensive pressure.

Su Ming strode forward.

Since Jawgemo was hiding behind the pillar, EG always knew that no one had passed the pillar and that point B was fake. Therefore, Su Ming dared to bet that point B was likely unoccupied.

"I'll give you a cigarette!"

Smoggy fired two cigarettes directly at B2 and B1.

"Just give me cigarettes, no need for me to come. I can play by myself!"

Su Ming said calmly.

The other three members of EDG immediately reacted and set off towards A site.

Hearing footsteps approaching the point, Ethan threw a Flashbang from B small and pulled himself and Boostio out.

The two EG players happened to see Su Ming running to the baseline.

"Only Yoru?" Just as Ethan was starting to doubt whether this was a fake fight, footsteps came from the direction of B tunnel.

Ethan made a decision immediately.

"Bong is catching up quickly, let's grab Yelu first!"

His throwing knife struck the baseline, silencing the night dew and sealing off any escape route.

Demon1 also retreated to the second floor, pulled out onto the balcony, and told his teammates, "I'm holding the B tunnel, you guys go and get him!"

Ethan and Boostio rushed to the baseline, and I respectfully threw a double pull.

The two pulled him outside and saw a man named Ye Lu, with a large light bulb on his head, facing the wall in contemplation.

boom!

The two fired instinctively, and Yoru's body suddenly exploded.

"It's a fake!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another righteous gunshot rang out.

Not only was the Jetpack that was directly connected to B channel killed, but the Hunter, who was gathering information in the A-point recess, was also arrested by the enemy.

...I've been tricked!

Both Ethan and Boostio are quite popular.

Raven stood in B tunnel from beginning to end and never came in. The one who was silenced was just a fake Night Dew. The other side deliberately left their footsteps in B tunnel to create the illusion that someone from EDG was rotating to support them.

From God's perspective, their move must have been incredibly foolish, but only those directly involved could truly feel the immense defensive pressure they were under.

Knowing that the 2v4 situation was hopeless, the two EG players chose to go out and engage Night in a gunfight, taking their anger out on him.

But one of them was Qi Le, and the other was KO without even two flashes. Why would Su Ming be afraid?

After knocking down Demon1, a wisp of smoke rose from the muzzle of the righteous gun in his hand. Su Ming took two steps back, hiding half of his body in the recessed wall, and positioned himself directly at the baseline.

...His best style is the straight frame.

...the optimal engagement distance.

...Therefore, I have no reason to lose.

Confidence is always the strongest weapon for professional players.

The next moment, two figures emerged from the baseline in his field of vision. When the crosshair he had set up beforehand overlapped with one of them, Su Ming suddenly pulled the trigger.

boom!

The moment the shot was fired, the crosshair was quickly and slightly adjusted without any pause, and the second shot followed immediately!

boom!

[EDG.Raven headshots and kills EG.Ethan]

"What a beautiful aiming technique! The enemy is right on the crosshair! He took down Demon1 instantly! This is segmented aiming, guys!"

Da Dongyan stared intently at the screen, speaking rapidly: "Huh? They killed one here. Su Shen isn't leaving; is he still going to fight? He's confident he can handle it. His teammates can cover for him in a 4v2 situation. Okay, then EG is going to have to double-push... Woohoo!"

He squealed excitedly, clenched his fists, and wished he were the one who fired those two shots.

"What are those two 'Justice' shots? So fast, are they really not triggers?"

[A quad kill in the pistol round! The pistol round master has struck again!]

[Da Dongyan's Commentary: Purely an automatic trigger!]

[I mean, does anyone understand why Raven was so focused on using his side keys?]

[Wow, I've noticed that Su Shen's sense of justice is getting more and more accurate, even more exaggerated than before. How did he train like that?]

Su Ming's sense of justice is indeed more accurate than before.

This is thanks to Meteor's remembrance.

His "justice" was particularly accurate, and his firing rhythm was excellent. Su Ming learned a lot from him.

Although it is not displayed on the panel, weapon proficiency is actually a skill attribute.

Teams like EDG are known for their penchant for using the "Madman" build, with players like Qiuqiu and Zhang Zhao practically shoving their pants into their pockets whenever they play Phantom.

Of course, in the Los Angeles Championship version, the Madman is indeed the most powerful weapon, which suits them very well.
