Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

"Nice!!"

The EDG players bumped fists with each other.

The pistol round has always been a crucial point.

It's not as simple as one point equals two points.

With this point secured, both the economy and ultimate skill points can be managed very comfortably.

Especially for teams like EDG that favor the Dark Horse, winning the pistol point means they will most likely be able to buy a sniper rifle in the fourth round.

If you lose the pistol round, you might not be able to buy the first Dark Horse until the sixth round, or even later.

—Entering the second round of the second half.

Su Ming picked up the sniper rifle, returning justice to Qiuqiu and allowing him to contribute to the economy.

Kang Kang bought a fang, while Smoggy and Nobody are both ghosts.

To be wary of the opponent's Eco betting strategy, EDG first opted to set up a default pick to gather information.

Su Ming then went to B tunnel alone, carrying a sniper rifle, and moved forward to make silent contact.

As soon as he arrived at Exit B, Su Ming scoped in and saw COM sneaking up to grab information downstairs on B2. He reacted quickly and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The flying general pierced the body of the hunter owl, killing him instantly.

Su Ming jumped to T in place, and suddenly four figures emerged from behind various covers in B site.

Almost instantly, Su Ming was focused down and killed by the four members of EG, and chopped into mincemeat.

"Holy crap!" Su Ming was startled and immediately said, "Quick, raise it to A!"

This eco tactic of using one person as bait and having four others follow up is actually very effective against lone attackers on the sidelines.

If Su Ming had teammates providing cover behind him, he would likely have lost two shots, giving the opposing team a chance to turn the tide. It's only because he was playing Nightfall that he managed to get here alone; if the enemy's guns had been even a little slower, he would have escaped.

Having obtained crucial information, the rest of EDG rushed into point A, planted the bomb, and spread out their firing lines to defend. EG, after trying this formation, only traded one player.

EDG only lost one AWP (Animal Sniper Rifle).

The team's finances are very healthy, and Qiuqiu, who had saved up money in the previous game, decided to try out the Half Armor Madman build.

Even if he loses this round, he will still have money to buy a long spear next round.

"What do you mean, this gun is for you?"

Qiuqiu asked, thinking that if they continued playing like they did in the pistol round, he could just follow behind and pick up the guns.

"No." Su Ming shook his head. "Just give me justice, and we're not playing a two-sided game this time. Let's keep it simple: help me control the ball, and just drive it!"

He got four kills in the pistol round, one kill in the previous round, and died once. His ultimate skill now has six points.

Picking up the pieces of justice, Su Ming bought a Bucks game, threw a teleport at B site, and then followed the main force to point A.

Nobody opened the dog, forcing A to back down from the information COM.

Su Ming destroyed the enemy's initial probe arrow.

"At least two!" C0M immediately switched the panel, saw that the enemy Nightshade's ultimate was ready, and reported: "Give Nightshade control of the ball, he has his ultimate!"

"It seems like Yoru's breasts are getting smaller."

Inside the Boostio station, upon hearing the teleportation sound effect coming from B Xiao, my brain raced.

He made the following judgment:

"Be careful, you might need to get B-type blood injected again immediately."

Nobody plays Vanguard, often faking his own play.

After acquiring Yoru, they often faked together, then Yoru would teleport back to the front to speed up.

EG has done some research on this and is taking precautions, so they dare not change their formation recklessly.

"Etahn, you prepare the throwing knife to disrupt their rush to base. C0M, you fly the plane and get information from A site as soon as possible!"

Under the commander's direction, EG adopted a formation that favored 3B2A.

From God's perspective, however, the main EDG team didn't move at all; they were waiting outside A. Su Ming was just deliberately revealing information by pretending to be a tank.

Ten seconds later.

Om-!

The sound of a drone came from inside the bomb site, and the EDG team knew that the time to attack had come!

"Who's next?"

Donning the Prajna Mask, Su Ming ran toward the Hunter Owl who was flying a plane in A-Small. He immediately saw C0M and Boostio, who was helping him with his gun.

C0M hurriedly shut down the plane, and Su Ming reported the location:

"A is two small ones!"

Nobody also used the "Strange Eye" to obtain the information: "No one was there after the click!"

"Let's take them down together!"

Before Zheng Yongkang could finish speaking, he had already flown into the point and was heading towards A small area.

Smoggy also used a small Gravity Trap to block the enemy's retreat.

The two EG players had no choice but to engage in battle. They heard the enemy Jetwind charging towards them with heavy footsteps. They were holding their guns when suddenly a loud bang came from behind them!

"Zzz—!!"

It was the sound of Yoru tearing off her mask.

The two turned around at the same time and saw two Night Dews appear simultaneously, along with a blue flash that exploded in the distance at A.

boom!

The Bucks fired, and Su Ming took down Boostio with a single shot, only to be finished off by C0M. However, his back to the basket also exposed Zheng Yongkang.

One for two, EDG successfully entered the point.

Despite facing a 3v4 situation, the three EG players showed no fear.

Demon1 followed his teammate's quick flashbang and pulled out, knocking down Kang Kang who was holding the position in the crater. Smoggy tried to finish him off, but his aim was a bit off, and he was killed instead.

EDG's proactive gunfights gave them an opportunity, putting them at a disadvantage in a 2v3 situation.

At the crucial moment, Ball stepped up. He dove into the [Instant Cloud] thrown by Demon1, seized the moment when Jetwind flew in and took it down with a barrage of shots.

2 against 2.

Just as the remaining two EG players were still trying to figure out the location of the unidentified Black Dream, Ball suddenly pulled out of [Instant Cloud] and, despite the disadvantage of the smoke, attacked them.

This bold and unconventional smoke attack caught EG completely off guard, forcing them to passively accept the gunfight.

Bang bang bang!

EDG.CHICHOO headshots EG.Jawgemo

[EDG.CHICHOO headshots and kills EG.Ethan]

Qiuqiu positioned and killed Xingqi with one shot, then swept the target and moved, making slight adjustments to control the gun, and finally KO'd Xingqi with a water spray.

"Qiuqiu caught him!" On the commentary stage, Su Di sounded a little scared. "Damo suddenly killing two people was too scary. EDG was a bit reckless."

[Seeking divine intervention is no match for the God of Football!]

Why not just secure the crucial points? Why give them opportunities?

While new viewers are still questioning, veteran viewers have already calmly taken a breath of fresh air.

[EDG is like this: they dare to play aggressively... They can pull off a huge comeback even in a seemingly easy win, and they can also turn a huge disadvantage into an easy victory.]

There's always someone to rescue the team from dire straits; as for why the team is in such dire straits, don't ask!

EDG narrowly escaped defeat in the bonus game, and their economy snowballed completely.

In the next minute, without any map control, EDG rushed straight to the basket!

Even after being silenced for five hours, they didn't plan to switch points. Instead, they waited for the silence effect to end before accelerating again!

Qile's baseline fire, Xingyuan's suction and shock behind cover, the dummy pulling the firing line, Jiefeng flying into the bomb site, Yelu T into his [Instant Cloud], firing smoke and flashbang, both duelists pulling out at the same time...

The meticulously practiced bomb coordination made it impossible for anyone to stand anywhere at the B bomb site.

Building on this momentum, the in-form EDG unleashed their powerful stats, completely melting EG's heavily armored 4B defense.

Leave C0M with a 1v5 endgame situation.

All we have left are our artists!

This stage is very big.

C0M, wielding his beloved 21-piece champion claw knife, ran all the way back to point B, hastily and desperately giving away the last kill.

The score suddenly jumped to 10-6.

EG called a timeout.

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

"They're so excited..."

EG was truly stunned.

They didn't seem to care much about losing the first two points of the second half.

Losing the pistol round is tantamount to losing the eco round, which is very common in Václav's matches, and mature professional players will not have any psychological impact.

But the next two points they lost really upset them.

EDG changed their map control strategy from the first two rounds, which involved letting Nightfall control the map on the sidelines, and played with unusually decisiveness.

In the last round, even though they knew their B was heavily fortified and had no flaws, they still insisted on "ignoring the risks and persisting in the visit" and went straight for their B.

That's so wild!

EG got hurt and their momentum faltered.

"Something's not right..." Boostio frowned, realizing something was amiss. "Why is the defensive pressure so intense?"

"Why."

Potter sighed; she understood: "It's simple, the pressure on the sidelines is too great, you can't just rotate positions or set up gun emplacements..."

We were playing too passively.

Nightfall's ability to quickly rotate positions, coupled with Raven's exceptional firepower, put immense defensive pressure on EG.

This made EG hesitant to act even though they had information about the side with more players than EDG.

Because they were constantly on guard against the possibility of "Yoru using Teleport to quickly switch points," the side with fewer EDG players could suddenly have an extra player.

They couldn't move here, they dared not move there... This caused EG's formation to be unstable, their defense to be slow, and they completely handed over the initiative to EDG.

"But what would be the result if we really rushed back to defend at all costs?"

Potter suddenly realized the problem.

The answer immediately came to her mind.

That night, Rukia really teleported away and, together with her teammates on the sidelines, went to attack your weak side.

"That's right, that's why EDG played Black Dream on this map."

Potter suddenly realized.

Skye is too strong in this version; Skye is actually the mainstream Vanguard of Deepsea Pearl.

EG picked the Hunter to make C0M's gameplay more comfortable.

So why did EDG choose Black Dream? You know, Nobody is very good at Skye.

Potter had never understood this before.

"Because, among all the information pioneers, Black Dream possesses the strongest information-gathering ability."

All skills can be used to obtain information!

As long as Nobody gets information about the number of people, Yoru will act as the "duel" or "sideline" to break through another point.

Conversely, if the pressure felt directly is not great, Yoru only needs to act as a "vanguard" or "second ram," providing ample firepower and equipment.

...It's too flexible and too advanced.

Compared to the current mainstream lineups, it doesn't resemble a tactical system from a different era at all.

Realizing this, Potter took the blame, saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have replaced Night with KO. It was a failed tactical change."

If Ethan were playing Nightfall, even if he wasn't particularly strong individually and his role on offense wasn't as significant as Raven's, he definitely wouldn't have had such a difficult time on defense.

But in that case, their offense might not even get 6 points...

Only night dew can quell night dew.

Furthermore, the player who wields the Night Dew must be a versatile individual with exceptional personal abilities.

Fortunately, there are only two maps that fit Night Dew well, otherwise, the game would be dominated by this hero.

I hope that day will never come.

Potter shook his head and said, "In the next few rounds, let's be more proactive. I have an idea..."
