Valorant: I Am Still the World's Best

The matches between EDG and PRX, with their highly similar aggressive playstyles, are often very exciting and entertaining, creating an explosive atmosphere.

But no one expected that the atmosphere in the KIA Forum would be ignited so early!

In the first round of the finals, less than 30 seconds had passed when Raven scored a five-kill pistol round!

The PRX fans at the scene also gave their applause generously.

Rundong, sitting on the coach's bench, also contributed his applause, slapping the table with his hand, his face slightly flushed.

He wasn't angry with the team members.

Because in this round, PRX did not repeat their old problem of 'discipline'.

It was simply that the opponent executed their planned tactics too well...

After reviewing the incident, Rundong quickly understood the other party's design in B-channel.

—It's standard practice for the attacking team to let B pass through a cigarette, but Raven took advantage of this by running to the pillar, placing a dummy, and then running to the recess. Without that cigarette, PRX could have easily pulled him out and arrested him.

Then comes the professional version of the "one hook, one hit" trick.

Kang Kang drew attention from behind the pillar, while the mannequin and flashlight reinforced this impression, allowing Raven to steal two shots from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Qiuqiu pulled out from the front, spreading out the PRX's firing line and sacrificing his life to provide Raven with room to maneuver and showcase his individual abilities.

Viewers may only think Raven's accuracy, but from the coach's perspective, the more crucial aspect of this play was Raven's superb proficiency with Night Dew and his masterful control over the enemy's attention.

The essence of the hook attack tactic is to manipulate the enemy's attention, and Raven intentionally takes advantage of this.

"More than once, he consciously used the noise created by props, and even the noise from his teammates and the environment, and then, relying on his strong information processing ability and personal skills, seized the timing..."

"That's exactly how we at PRX play; the team members distract each other and provide follow-up shots."

Rundong took a deep breath. This is how you would describe people like this.

"—A master of chaotic battles."

The outside world's assessment of PRX is that it's a dump truck made up of a bunch of chaotic fighting masters.

This assessment is very fair.

In Rundong's view, his team's players belong to the "intuition school," whose instincts are forged through accumulated experience in chaotic battles.

Raven's chaotic battles, thanks to his solid fundamentals, have developed into a stable technique that resembles an "academic" style.

This vaguely reminded him of a Korean player whose style had been a perfect counter to theirs before...

I think it was called t3xture...

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

In the second round, PRX opted for an Eco.

They have always been a team that likes to push hard. They started the first wave of the "Bee Sting Frenzy" in the World Championship, which was later popularized by American teams, giving rise to the saying "American Sting".

But facing the formidable EDG, they decided to play it safe and weather the disadvantageous situation.

In order not to give Nightfall points, they rushed into point A in a swarm, which made Smoggy and Nobody very happy, and they got a double pentakill.

Nobody, playing as the freak Meimei, got a quadra kill and grinned from ear to ear: "Holy crap, PRX is so mean! My Best was about to take off and was about to open the special zone, and they just fed him all the kills! What does that mean?"

Su Ming: "..."

You can't get through this, right?

We've arrived at the third bonus round.

Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry, EDG took the initiative to push forward and counter-purge, even calling over Su Ming to set up a formation at A site.

Unexpectedly, PRX, despite being a long-range gunner, launched a surprise mid-lane gank on B.

The ball guarding the middle lane activated [Nano Swarm] to delay, but it couldn't stop PRX's determination to step on the landmine and finish off the enemy.

He was crushed to pieces.

After capturing Qi Le, Zheng Yongkang at point B immediately reported that the opponent was running towards him, and told Su Ming to TP back and fly to block point B.

Nightfall's teleportation was very clear, but PRX was not afraid at all. Brand used a counter-flash jump to create firing lines for his teammates, and everyone rushed in.

There were too many gunfire lines. Su Ming only managed to hit the Fire Man's body once with a Flying General before Something headshot him and took him down.

Zheng Yongkang reluctantly replaced the Jetvan, but was also arrested by the police.

After planting the bomb, PRX didn't guard it. Instead, after obtaining the location information, the entire team rushed out and surrounded Nobody and Smoggy.

The round lasted less than 30 seconds.

The sheer spectacle of the dump trucks elicited a roar of cheers from the crowd!

The score is now 2-1.

"PRX's bomb coordination is still impressive."

After being eliminated in seconds, Su Ming frankly praised his opponent, "After PRX gained the kill advantage, they were very aggressive in exchanging kills, which was really hard to resist."

"Who says otherwise?" Nobody nodded in agreement. "Their finishing-off efficiency is truly frightening; they're recklessly finishing off enemies..."

To put it simply, PRX's strategy is to first try to kill one of the opponents, and then use their numerical advantage and superior finishing fire efficiency to relentlessly attack them.

出色的个人能力，让他们能保障1换1，甚至是1换2，1换3。

This simple tactic has proven incredibly effective, leaving many teams completely bewildered and utterly overwhelmed by the dump truck.

But EDG is different.

They are too familiar with PRX's playstyle.

Before Su Ming joined, EDG might have suffered a crushing defeat against unfamiliar European and American teams.

But whenever they face PRX, even if they lose more often than they win, the EDG brothers will play very comfortably, each of them can perform, and the score will be very close.

EDG's past inability to win was purely due to a lack of individual skill; they didn't have as many players who could step up as PRX.

Nobody knew exactly how to stop PRX's momentum. He said, "Xiao Ming almost had his ultimate. The other side will probably try to contest A main and prevent us from controlling the ball. I reckon they'll leave someone to cover the B tunnel area..."

The two skill balls in the deep sea: A is advantageous for the defending side, and B is advantageous for the attacking side.

"Let them go?" Su Ming asked back. PRX's Brand + Skye composition was extremely dominant at A University.

Stealing the A-ball, which is advantageous to the defending side, then using Fire Wall to control the B-ball, while simultaneously allowing the Fire Man to control both balls, quickly accumulating ultimate abilities... this is the strength of the previous Deep Sea Overlord.

"No." Nobody smiled. "Let's just fight them for A, that's how we'll play this round..."

After the tactical communication was completed, the game entered the fourth round.

The first rifle round of this game.

Da Dongyan immediately noticed EDG's actions and asked curiously, "Kang Kang Bati, are the three of them, including Su Shen, going to push forward to attack? But isn't Bati's positioning a bit too far back?"

In the scene, Nobody jumps onto the boxes in area A, holding the [Ghost Eye] and aiming at a certain mysterious 'Line-up' location.

If Black Dream stands in this position, his teammates will immediately rush A, making it absolutely impossible for him to finish off the enemy.

Normally, the correct thing to do is to go to the front and throw the dog.

Before Daitohiko could think further, the light barrier quickly dissipated.

Outside of A University, the sound of PRX's hurried footsteps could be heard.

At the corner, Jetwind used [Instant Cloud] to light a cigarette, Skye's Flash exploded first, followed closely by Fire Man's Flash.

—The Guiding Falcon did not ring.

Because Kang Kang and Su Ming did not pull them out directly as everyone expected, but instead hid behind the door frame wall in Area A and gave up the first firing position.

PRX has taken control of A University.

"I'll suck up a ball!" Jinggg communicated, asking his teammates to help him hold it up.

But just as he touched the sphere—

At the A gate frame, a [Instant Cloud] suddenly rose up, causing Jinggg to stop absorbing the ball.

Another [Instant Cloud] flew out, extending beyond A passage, allowing Kang Kang to press forward.

Immediately, a blue instant-explosive flashbang hidden in the smoke popped out!

The vigilant PRX members, of course, wouldn't take the flashbang; they smoothly deflected it and continued firing.

Just then.

"Thump—!"

Nightmarish black tendrils suddenly appeared around the screens of the five PRX players.

They were seen by the Black Dream's "Eerie Eye".

Something reacted extremely quickly, leaping into the air and then using [Wind Chaser] to retreat back to cover, but his teammates who lacked mobility were not so lucky!

Bang bang bang! !

EDG.Zmjjkk headshot and killed PRX.Jinggg

[EDG.Raven headshots PRX.d4v41 through a pallet]

EDG.Zmjjkk killed PRX.f0rsakeN

"Niceee!!!" Su Di shouted excitedly, "EDG executed a beautiful counter-pick combo! Jet's smoke and Night Flash distracted the enemy, allowing the Shadow Vision to take effect, and then they killed him while hiding in the smoke! D4 hiding behind the wooden crate was helpless, those wooden planks are as good as paper."

"The remaining two PRX players are ready to save their weapons!" Yjj grinned, commentating on the situation: "But Qiuqiu has already sneaked out from B tunnel! He's doing it really fast, he has two opportunities to flank from behind... Nice! Take him down!!"

[Great reading! Great anti-Qing sentiment!]

Holy crap, you can do that?!

[EDG's tactics regarding Nightfall are like an old sow wearing a bra—they come up with one after another.]

[These anti-Qing strategies, once used even once in a competition, will make other teams wary. They'll study them, counter them, and it'll be difficult to achieve the same surprising effect again.]

[Yeah, when we played against EG, I thought that was all, but I didn't expect there was more!]

What exactly does "absolutely top-tier map" mean? (Tactical lean back.jpg)

"That's how we should play!" Da Dongyan exclaimed excitedly. "Faced with PRX's attack, you can't just passively engage on the point! You have to turn the tables and take the initiative to get their first kill!"

Of course, the fundamental reason why the anti-Qing package was successful was that it was "read correctly".

EDG is very familiar with PRX, but PRX only has a partial understanding of EDG's brand new Night Dew system.

Intelligence plus tactics: a double advantage.

Zheng Yongkang hummed a song, showing off a little, "They're all old acquaintances, I didn't originally intend to use a 'lower dimension' attack."

While the enemy retreated to save their weapon, Nobody collected a ball. Including the previous quad kill and death, his ultimate was ready again.

"Xiao Ming, let's use our 'Night Dream' combo next round!" Nobody said.

Having reached the finals, there's no longer any need to hide any tactics.

As a result, the audience soon saw yet another brand-new tactical package.

Round 5.

PRX, armed with five long spears, continued their advance into A site.

Having learned from the previous point, they specifically sent f0rsakeN to attack the spectral point.

However, in this round, EDG also launched a counter-clear in the second round. After Black Dream got the information that there were people nearby, he immediately released his ultimate skill [Nightfall].

"—Face your fears!"

Accompanied by the ultimate skill's voice line, Black Dream unleashed a full-coverage Nightmare Wave towards A, inflicting the effects of [Deafness] and [Corruption] on enemies.

At the same time, Night Dew's ultimate skill was also activated.

"Watch out for Night Dew!" Mindfreak's mind raced. "We can't hear him tearing off his mask!"

PRX is on high alert.

However, this situation cannot be dealt with simply by being vigilant.

Night Dew walked through the space-time rift and arrived at the center of the PRX formation. Su Ming didn't aim at all, and casually threw out a dummy. Flash!

Nobody unleashed [Dark Beasts] directly, sending them to tear at the enemy along the path of fear, and then casually tossed out a Ghost Eye. Smoggy, in the distance, provided ranged support with [Suction] and [Shock]...

With deafness and unpredictable projectiles appearing out of nowhere, the battlefield was in utter chaos...

The chaos was so intense that even a master of chaotic battles like PRX experienced overload.

Something had just turned off the flashbang, without any warning sound, when the enemy Jetwind suddenly pulled out from behind cover.

EDG.Zmjjkk headshot and killed PRX.Something

He collapsed to the ground, silently staring at the screen.

One moment it turns blue after eating a flash, the next it turns black after being bitten by a dog, or it turns black and white after being shaken by Xingji's [Gravity Trap].

"...Is this hell?"

The Russian man smiled with relief.

Another set meal I've never seen before.

What can I say?

Here, I'll give you the points.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots that PRX couldn't hear were ringing out.

Taking advantage of Zheng Yongkang's distraction from the front, Su Ming unknowingly tore off his mask and struck them from behind.

The blue-white ion madmen roared incessantly.

A triple kill that swept the screen, combined with Zheng Yongkang's double kill, resulted in a beautiful double-player counter-clearing pentakill.

Having lost this point, PRX had to re-enter the Eco phase.

Without impacting their economy, they purchased three spikes and rushed down the mid lane in an attempt to turn the tide.

With their excellent gun skills and teamwork, they managed to take down three of EDG's long-range weapons, which ultimately led to their unfortunate defeat.

The score is 5-1.

PRX called the first tactical timeout.

Run Dong's face turned bright red as he once again experienced the feeling of being an "incompetent husband." He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was completely outmatched in every aspect of his strengths.

He was furious, but there was really nothing he could do.

"Yoru's tactical flexibility is just too high..."

Rundong realized once again that all teams were underestimating the value of this role.

Looking at EDG's roster, Night, taken out on her own, surprisingly manages to create synergy with the other four players...

Jetwind + Night Dew, a simple smoke grenade, and Instant Cloud can ensure Night Dew's teleport to the point.

Black Dream + Night Dew, ultimate skill combo, fake body + dog disrupt the battlefield...

Stardust + Night Dew, the ultimate skills work together, and the smoke recovery can also help Night Dew teleport to the point...

The above are the tactics that EDG has shown. As for Qile + Yelu, Rundong thought about it and felt that it seemed to make some sense.

When Qile uses her ultimate, the worst thing is when the opponent hides in a corner and takes the hit head-on, or they use your ultimate to counter-clear the area... But if you add Yelu's ultimate, all of the opponent's information becomes transparent, and they can only retreat and obediently give up the point.

This tactical flexibility is so exaggerated that no other role can do it.

If it weren't for the current version and the powerful dual Vanguard suppression, this character could be played on any map.
