The final round.
Perhaps the 6-15 score put too much pressure on the OG players, as the terrorists' attack at this moment was completely devoid of inspiration.
Another wave of explosive fast attacks on bombsite A.
However, this time, Qin Feng's sniper rifle was positioned at the front of bombsite A.
"Bang."
[Fantic.Aether used AWP to headshot and kill OG.mantuu]
The moment the smoke grenade hadn't even detonated, mantuu's sniper rifle aimed at A1 fell to the ground with Qin Feng's shot.
Nexa chose to flash out from behind the lamppost to finish the kill.
[Fantic.Aether used AWP to kill OG.Nexa]
Qin Feng, hiding near the sandwich, gave nexa no chance.
"Dada da."
[Fnatic.ALEX used M4A1 to headshot and kill OG.valde]
Valde, who wanted to peek from the second floor of bombsite A to finish the kill, was instantly taken down by ALEX, who was positioned near the entrance of A second floor.
The remaining players were niko and flameZ, who had just popped smoke and flash at A1.
Wan Ji Qi's emotions were churning, and he almost roared:
"What? Nexa died with the bomb, and the bomb fell on the A1 stairs!"
"What's left for niko and flameZ is a 2v5 clutch."
"Niko, who wanted to peek out to finish the kill, was also sniped by Aether at A1!"
"The smoke grenade that popped in bombsite A couldn't stop Aether with this big sniper rifle at close range."
"He's unstoppable now!"
"With this big sniper rifle holding A1, the terrorists can't finish the kills at all."
"That's right, this is Aether."
"OG can't play anymore."
"There are still three people to deal with at the A bombsite now."
"Can flameZ do it?"
"He didn't make it!"
"Aether, a quad kill with his sniper rifle, directly brought Fnatic to Antwerp!"
"This is too unbelievable, guys."
"On the last two maps, Aether almost single-handedly led Fnatic to secure a ticket to Antwerp."
"Let's congratulate Fnatic, congratulations Aether!"
"..."
Unconsciously, Qin Feng had become the butterfly that flapped its wings.
Anyone could see that without Aether's dominant performance, Fnatic would likely have no chance of making it into the Major main tournament.
Newcomer, temporary replacement, less than half a year of professional play, entering the Major, the highest Rating in the open qualifiers... All of it quickly dominated the headlines of major CSGO news communities.
Stars Shine Bright, Aether Leads Fnatic 2-1 Over OG to Advance to Antwerp.
Goodbye, Peppzor! Fnatic's Aether Becomes Famous Overnight.
Peak Performance on Debut? Aether's 1.47 Rating Dominates Qualifier Group A.
S1mple Interview: Looking at all the players in Qualifier Group A, only Aether is closest to my level.
Silent No More, Suddenly Famous. Let's Get to Know the Real Chinese Prodigy Aether.
Thorin: Aether is just a system player; only m0NESY can be considered the next s1mple.
In the eyes of many HLTV viewers, the only CS team from China was Tyloo.
And Chinese CS, in the eyes of many, was merely synonymous with "Cosmetic CS" and "Glory."
Aether, who dragged Fnatic into Antwerp single-handedly, was actually a genius teenager from China.
This itself was a rare major piece of news.
Not to mention the CS viewers from China itself.
This time, it was truly "Glory"!
The apps of major domestic communities became sluggish due to the surge in traffic.
[Nexa lifted his covers at night, and they were all filled with Aether.]
[Aether's fan of twenty years reporting in. Actually, I've been watching Aether's matches since 20 years ago.]
[I plan to hoard 1000 Aether stickers to celebrate. Am I doing the right thing, guys?]
It's widely known that there can be many "God A"s, but there is only one true God A.
ALEX: Aether and I combined for 110 kills in three games!
System Sniper, I know that one! How many consecutive championships did the System Sniper's team win last time?
Is there really someone who doesn't know Aether? That's the guy who carried Wan Ji Qi to dominate the domestic second-tier pro scene.
Shroud himself from C9: Are you being polite?
Originally, Qin Feng only gained some fame among a portion of CSGO viewers due to his 1v5 clutch in the Chinese Major Qualifiers.
However, after the entire European regionals of the Antwerp Major, almost all domestic CSGO players got to know Aether anew, and began to delve into the experiences of this young prodigy.
The resourceful netizens naturally dug up quite a bit of information about Aether quickly.
After TBD disbanded, Aether had no team to go to, so he had no choice but to cross the ocean to the UK to work, and coincidentally began his FPL journey.
This also caused many in the community to sigh.
If Fnatic hadn't happened to discover Aether, perhaps Aether would still be working in a Chinese restaurant now, becoming unfortunate brothers with smooya who was frying fries at McDonald's.
Who could have imagined that Fnatic's bold decision allowed Aether to step onto the international CSGO stage early, and also allowed Fnatic to finally achieve redemption for themselves.
Fnatic gave Aether the opportunity to perform, and Aether did not fail Fnatic's trust, pulling Fnatic, who had fallen into a slump, onto the Antwerp stage.
As for Fnatic winning the match, KRIMZ and the others could no longer hide their excitement.
"NICE~~~~~~"
"Feng, we're going to the Major, we'll be able to release stickers soon."
"Antwerp, here we come."
In the training room, almost all the players could hardly contain their excitement.
Everyone gave Qin Feng a big hug after each game ended.
KRIMZ even directly broke the headset he had just taken off.
After a full two years, Fnatic, since the 2020 RMR, had finally advanced to the CSGO Major stage again.
Even though the process was difficult and bumpy, Fnatic still seized this hard-won opportunity, as if seizing the future at this moment.
Everyone knew that as long as Fnatic had the chance to advance to Antwerp, the team members might be able to regain their confidence and face the test of the truly strong teams in Antwerp.
After the excitement, everyone could finally relax their long-tense nerves.
Returning to their respective rooms to rest, Qin Feng once again looked at the system prompts he hadn't checked in a long time.
After successfully defeating OG, he seemed to have completed another system achievement.
Qin Feng looked at the semi-transparent light blue screen in the upper right corner of his vision.
[Congratulations on your outstanding performance in the Major Qualifiers, you have received a reward: 1000 Dream Points.]
[Congratulations on completing the special achievement: Advancing to the Major Challengers Stage, you have received one free ten-pull chance.]
The price of the ten-pull wish was once again replaced from 800 points to free.
Qin Feng did not hesitate and directly pressed the free wish button.
