I Believe In You

Oh?

So it's not just about getting results in major tournaments to earn Dream Points?

While the game was loading, Qin Feng couldn't help but glance at the lottery function on the light blue screen.

The point lottery interface was very simple, with only two options: [Single Wish] and [Ten Wishes (20% OFF)].

A single draw cost 100 Dream Points, and a ten-draw cost 800 Dream Points.

Qin Feng looked at the meager 100 points on the panel and decided to give up the idea of a single draw.

He, who always got the pity rate in gacha games, didn't think he could get a rare drop from the system on the first try.

"This match, we're on defense first. Let's stick to the standard 3A2B setup."

"Aether, when you weren't here, Peppzor and I always defended B together."

"Want to come to B with me?"

The bald Major, KRIMZ, glanced at Qin Feng, who was sitting beside him.

"Sure," Qin Feng nodded. "Since poizon is the main sniper on A, it's perfect for me to play secondary sniper on B."

As he spoke, Qin Feng saw a pair of Dual Pistols appear at his feet.

"Are these for me?" Qin Feng was a bit surprised.

mezii nodded and then spent the remaining 500 yuan to give ALEX, who was defending the second floor of A, a CZ-75.

"Aether, I've encountered you in FPL before."

"I believe in you."

Meanwhile, in ITB's team's Skype voice chat.

smooya, looking a bit confused, kept tapping TAB and asked, "Does anyone know who this Aether guy is?"

Cypher, who was more in the know, said, "He seems to be a rookie from China. I heard he had a 1v5 clutch in the Chinese Major qualifiers before."

He paused, then added, "But don't worry, you know the CS environment in China."

"Even though we're basically an internet cafe team without a training base, even China's strongest team, Tyloo, might not be able to beat us."

After saying that, Cypher seemed to recall something amusing and couldn't help but laugh.

"Since he's replacing Peppzor, he's most likely the player defending B with KRIMZ," dobbo suddenly chimed in. "Our team isn't as strong as Fnc, so why don't we find our breakthrough on this newcomer named Aether?"

In a few short words, ITB had decided on their pistol round strategy:

A fast push to B on the second timing.

The five players held the entrance for a while. When they didn't hear the grenade thrown into the banana passage, smooya directly took a decoy grenade and walked towards the depths of the passage.

"Guys, check out this trick I just learned in FPL."

"Bouncing a decoy off a white wall."

Clink. The decoy flew out.

Qin Feng, holding the Dual Pistols and hiding behind the white wall in the banana passage, naturally heard the sound of the projectile being thrown.

Qin Feng decisively chose to push out.

However, the first person he saw wasn't smooya, who was throwing the decoy close to the recess, but dobbo in front of the tree position.

A precise headshot, and he was down.

[Fnatic.Aether killed ITB.dobbo with a headshot using Dual Berettas]

"Fuck, they've got a monster hiding there," dobbo couldn't help but curse. "This rookie is a bit too aggressive."

smooya, who had just thrown a flashbang, saw that the kill was with Dual Pistols and didn't dare to push forward to trade. He quietly agreed with dobbo, "Yeah, most people use Dual Pistols close to the white wall, but he actually timed the decoy throw."

"Are we still pushing B?" the team's in-game leader hesitated.

"We have no information on A, and it's too troublesome to rotate back now, so let's go with B," smooya quickly made a decision. "We still have a smoke and a flash. Flash over the white wall, then smoke off CT spawn."

However, by this time, Qin Feng had already retreated from the white wall to behind the sandbags.

When he heard the flashbang pop, Qin Feng immediately swung out from behind the sandbags.

After all, hiding in this position was an extremely disadvantageous angle, where close targets were large and far targets were small.

Moreover, Dual Pistols at close range were not at all disadvantaged against a Glock.

[Fnatic.Aether killed ITB.Adam9130 with a headshot using Dual Berettas]

[Fnatic.Aether killed ITB.Cypher with a headshot using Dual Berettas]

[ITB.Thomas killed Fnatic.Aether with a headshot using Glock-18]

"OMG, Aether, you're too strong." Coach Samuelsson, who was spectating from behind, excitedly patted Qin Feng's shoulder.

He had initially thought Qin Feng's positioning was too aggressive.

But now, he only felt like he'd struck gold.

A 4v1 clutch situation, the bomb was at Banana, and the CTs rotating from A site were already in position.

As expected, Thomas, who had just eliminated Qin Feng, didn't even get a chance to plant the bomb before being instantly headshot by a USP bullet from KRIMZ, who was hiding behind the triple box.

The score became 1-0.

Cypher, who was initially full of confidence, suddenly fell silent.

"This Aether guy is pretty accurate."

"No wonder Fnatic kicked Peppzor for him before the Major qualifiers."

Thomas comforted his teammates, "It's okay, it's just a pistol round."

"Maybe he's just good with pistols."

"Let's do a pure ECO round and hit B again in the third round."

Meanwhile, Fnatic's comms were filled with cheers.

"Strong play, Aether."

"Nice."

"Beautiful, I didn't expect you to get four kills with that."

mezii felt that his purchase of Dual Pistols this round was worth it.

In esports, being bad is the original sin.

As long as you play strong enough, you will earn the recognition of others.

The second round began.

Qin Feng didn't choose to buy an M4 or an MP9. Instead, he spent 1000 credits on full armor, only holding a USP.

"The enemy didn't plant the bomb, so they probably won't force buy. I'll get full armor and a USP, and buy a sniper next round." Qin Feng quickly reminded KRIMZ, who was standing next to him with an M4.

"Okay, the two of us will guard the bomb site." KRIMZ nodded again. "The enemy probably doesn't have many utility items this round. You can double-peek me from the dead spot. Even if I die, you can pick up my M4."

After the pistol round, KRIMZ began to gradually believe in the Eastern youth before him.

Knowing that the enemy was unlikely to force a direct gunfight, Fnatic played more relaxed this round.

poizon and mezii, who had bought MP9s, chose to push through mid together, putting on a movie with a Douban score of 9.9--

"Enemy ECO: I Am a Special Forces Soldier."

Facing five opponents without armor, armed with Glocks, poizon and mezii completed a double-person pentakill.

And Qin Feng, during the preparation time for the third round, got his AWP as he wished.

As for poizon and mezii on A site, they still had two MP9s.

"Should we go for an unconventional strategy?" ALEX casually asked his teammates, looking at their weapons.

KRIMZ's M4 and Qin Feng's AWP were defending B site, but only one M4 and two MP9s were defending A site.

If ITB went for a pure ECO last round, they would most likely buy five AKs this round.

Defending the back sites conventionally would put A site at a significant disadvantage.

"Sure, I can go to B, and let Aether come to A." poizon, holding an MP9, proactively suggested.

"Okay, Aether, you come to A." ALEX said, then added, "Are we defending normally?"

"There's no need to defend normally." Qin Feng shook his head. "Throw a smoke at the T entrance to help me with a boost, and I'll use the sniper rifle to peek the side lane."

"Alright." ALEX was still very willing to trust Qin Feng.
