CS: Demon King C, you said I was a genius?

Chapter 116 Who gave you the courage?

"NICE!" Everyone in NIP bumped fists to encourage each other.

After winning the crucial pistol round and the power play, they entered into their scoring rhythm in the early stages of the game, with the score between the two sides reaching 3-0 at one point.

"Keep up the form and win the pistol round! Try to widen the gap on the CT side!" es3tag shouted loudly in encouragement.

Although there is no main sniper in Team X's lineup at present, their 70% win rate on this map is still a bit scary.

If you want to win this Bo1 game, you must treat every point carefully.

"Let's start this round with a normal 212-1-, headtrck. Use your sniper rifle this round and go to the side path to try and find a kill."

"k0nfig, go to point A and defend the middle lane with Arrow. This round, we should still focus on the middle lane. Don't let the opponent's offensive tactics unfold too smoothly."

By the time es3tag had finished arranging the positions and playing strategies for the rifle round, the preparation time was over.

After Su Zhe replenished his items at the store, he rushed to the VIP room carrying the AK he had picked up earlier.

Soon, Team X also gave the middle lane regular props at the beginning, blocking VIP's entire vision.

"The other side is throwing sandbags and lighting cigarettes. Please help me throw a smoke bomb and I will shoot with my sniper." Headtr1ck, who quickly jumped to the path at the beginning, shouted in the voice chat.

"OK!"

After hearing this, Su Zhe directly threw a grenade on the small path, but Team X's mid laner was also quite cautious and did not give the sniper the chance to get the first kill.

"It seems Team X is very knowledgeable about NIP's defense. They know they like to blast the smoke in the lane first, so TeSeS chose to go to the sandbags second."

"NertZ and kyxsan are about to come out of the sewers together. k0nfig, who is assisting in the defense of the arch, is very experienced and gave the arch a defensive smoke in advance. Kyxsan also gave the arch an inside attack smoke in return!"

"NertZ is really brave! He chose to go straight to the archway in the smoke! He made it all the way to the alert jump position without being detected. REZ was setting up A1 at the long box position the whole time. Could it be that he can go straight in?"

k0nfig had been setting up smoke in the jungle position. When he found that the opponent had not moved for a long time, he took the initiative to mix smoke and change position to the direction of the police's jump platform.

As a result, just as his vision returned, he heard the sound of AK gunfire.

"Da da da~"

NertZ kills k47nfig with a headshot from an AK-0

"Someone mixed in the smoke and made the police jump!" said the deceased k0nfig with some annoyance.

He switched to the police jump position because Su Zhe was affected by the props in VIP and it was useless.

So it was he who suggested mixing the smoke over and letting Su Zhe go to jungle to hold up the spreading smoke on both sides.

Unexpectedly, the other party was much more decisive than he had imagined. He probably didn't stop after coming out of the sewer and walked up quietly.

Su Zhe, who had already arrived at the jungle from VIP, saw k0nfig being killed and started shooting at the approximate location of the bandits.

"Da da da~"

Arrow kills NertZ with an AK-47 through smoke.

When Su Zhe, who had got the kill, was about to take action, suddenly another Molotov cocktail was thrown from the smoke in the archway.

After a quick consideration, he did not choose to step on the fire and go to VIP. REZ was the only one at the A bomb site now. Once the opponent heard the sound of him stepping on the fire, he would probably continue to replenish his props and make him completely lose Jungle's shooting position.

The CT and the bandit in this picture completed a one-for-one exchange, which was already a huge loss. If the opponent was allowed to go directly through the archway to enter the bomb site, the game would be even more unplayable afterwards.

So Su Zhe went straight to the dead point of the jungle, hoping that the fire under his feet would not spread over, but the bandits' advantage in Molotov cocktails was still too great, and the smoke from the arch had already dissipated.

In desperation, he took out his props and threw a fire extinguisher to protect himself.

"Although Arrow took NertZ's gun and completed a one-for-one trade, his position has been locked and he can't move!"

"Now it depends on the performance of the other teammates. The smoke on the trail is about to clear. It depends on how many arches the sniper brother with the mask can take down."

"Ah! Not one was captured! He was killed instantly by a headshot from TeSeS's AK! es3tag, who was in charge of B, also rushed over, but was also caught! Fortunately, Rez from the police team got the head of sjuush who came out of the second floor of A to plant the bomb."

"But the archway pack has already been deployed! The 2 vs 3 endgame is still very difficult to win!"

During the entire follow-up shooting process, Su Zhe, who was standing at the jungle's dead point, could not help at all. As the smoke from his fire extinguishing slowly dissipated, he was still nailed to the dead point.

Now the only way to win the endgame is for the police's REZ to come out and complete 1V3, but that is almost impossible, unless the three people on the opposite team X are topped by the C+ player.

Listening to the increasingly urgent sound of C4, Su Zhe hesitated for a moment and decided to take the initiative to pull out and fight.

But TeSeS was holding his gun right below the police jump, and had the advantage of being closer and larger than the opponent. He tried to pull out the gun and shoot directly, but the opponent saw his body first and caught him directly.

REZ took advantage of this opportunity and also chose to pull out to fight, but facing the multiple guns of Team X, he was still unable to withstand it. After killing one person, he was killed.

After losing the rifle round, the score between the two sides came to 3-1.

"It's okay, it's okay. We can still get all our players together this round. The opponent lost three people in the last round. As long as we can win this round, the opponent will still have no money in the next round." es3tag comforted.

But after entering the second round, Team X changed its previous cautious attitude and directly sped up to attack the middle lane and pinch B.

k0nfig, who returned to the lane to defend, had no precautions at all and was directly rushed away. Although es3tag, who was in charge of defending B, replaced one player, he still couldn't hold on until his teammates returned to defend.

In the endgame of 3 vs. 4, Su Zhe and his teammates still wanted to give it a try, but they were defeated like the gourd baby saving his grandfather.

After losing another round, NIP's economy hit rock bottom. After choosing eco for a round, Team X directly tied the score.

DJL, who was pacing behind him with a frown, finally couldn't help it and patted es3tag on the shoulder to signal him to call a timeout.

"You have too much of a stereotype about Team X! Although they are very disciplined now, since Brother Pian left, their new lineup can also play very aggressively and are good at seizing opportunities. You still have to do a good job of defending Rush at the beginning of the game."

"Also, the opposing players are all quite strong individually. You must take advantage of the map to defend the point."

djL first talked about the mistakes they made in the past few rounds. Ultimately, he didn't know enough about the current Team X.

The current core of Team X is NertZ, a player whose playing style is still very aggressive, and kyxsan, as the new commander of the team, does not have much say.

This results in Team X often performing some unconventional operations and often creating some unexpected effects, which must be guarded against.

"You can continue to play around the middle lane, but if the pressure is too great, there's no need to clear the middle lane."

"You can also change your strategy and attack from both sides. As long as you can understand Team X's offensive intentions, even if you lose the center, your second-time defense will still be easy to beat."

Following DJL's words, everyone felt as if they had suddenly understood.

Team X has always given people the impression that they have poor individual abilities but are very strong as a team. This leads to the fact that in the rifle rounds, they always feel that as long as they find an opportunity, they can take the initiative to pull out and rely on their marksmanship to clear the numbers.

es3tag nodded and said, "Then let's continue with the normal 212 start and play around the middle lane this round. We'll first see the opponent's arrangement and then make a mid-term decision." After explaining the general idea of ​​​​playing in this round, he went on to talk about some details.

The one-minute timeout ended quickly and the game between the two sides continued.

After Su Zhe started the game with full armor and ammunition, he walked directly towards the archway, ready to cooperate with his teammates in the small path to counter-clear the middle lane.

He did not go directly to the bandits' entrance, but went directly to the platform on the right side of the archway and directly to the exit of the sewer.

Firstly, es3tag gave the defensive props for the B2 floor at the beginning, and chose to go forward to the alley with k0nfig.

Secondly, the opponent's NertZ was a bit too bold. He just said he would go to the middle lane, and it would be unreasonable for me not to seize this opportunity.

"The opponent's middle lane might have hit a sandbag!" k0nfig's voice came from the headset, with deep resentment in it.

The opposing team, TeSeS, always tried to pass the point and enter the sandbag, but they never got the chance, which really made people feel a little greasy.

After thinking for a moment, es3tag said, "Let's retreat to the middle lane. REZ, come to B and help hold up the B2 floor."

After hearing this, Su Zhe took out a Molotov cocktail and threw it into the sewer, then planned to return to the jungle.

As a result, as soon as I turned my head, I heard the sound of fire in the sewer.

"Good man, are you planning to go to the middle lane even with the damage item?" Su Zhe felt that if he didn't take this kill, it would be a bit unfair for the other party to come here specially to give it to him.

So he returned to the archway, aimed at the sewer, and pulled it out directly.

"Tete~"

Arrow kills NertZ with a silenced M4A1 headshot.

After getting the kill, Su Zhe once again blocked the sewer exit. After pausing for two seconds and finding that no one came out to shoot again, he returned to Jungle's position.

"Nice! Good gun!" es3tag just saw Su Zhe on the minimap still in the archway.

I wanted to open my mouth to warn him, but I immediately changed my tone after seeing the kill happen.

"Should I still go to B?" REZ asked after seeing the kill.

After thinking it over for a moment, es3tag threw a full-smoke archway at the trailhead: "Come on, the archway opposite is currently inaccessible."

"Arrow, just make sure the VIPs don't get on board."

Then, es3tag began to boldly push forward to the front of B3 building under the defense of 2B, but he did not see any bandits all the way to the kitchen.

There were about 40 seconds left in the round. When Su Zhe heard that there was no one on the B2 floor, he immediately focused his attention.

Since he was not at B2 at this time, he must be at A1A2 or near the arch.

He glanced at VIP again, and when he saw no one was on, he called out, "Headtr1ck! Can you help me cast two Arch Flashes?"

"Okay, throw it away now?"

"Just throw it away!"

After he finished speaking, Su Zhe went straight to the archway. Before the second flash bomb exploded, he increased his speed to the maximum and pulled out from the archway.

When he saw the three bandits huddled together and dodged back, he was delighted at first, then he immediately located himself and pressed the fire button.

"Tetetete~"

Arrow kills nicoodoz with a silenced M4A1 headshot.

Arrow killed Kyxsan with a silenced M4A1.

TeSeS kills Arrow with a headshot from an AK-47

"Arrow guessed the enemy's approximate position! He chose to actively dodge and counter-clear!"

"What a detail! They caught the timing of Team X's three backflips! If TeSeS hadn't reacted quickly, this wave would have been wiped out by Arrow!"

[Wow! I thought NetrZ was brave, but it turns out Xiaozhe is even braver. He even dared to pull it out!]

[If Xiaozhe had an AK in his hand, this wave would have been completely wiped out, right? ]

[Team X's three backflips made me laugh. If they go up with their swords, they can probably chop one of them down, right? That's excellent timing.]

After seeing Su Zhe dominating the screen at the archway, REZ, who was near the trail, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He also pulled out in the second time and easily killed TeSeS, who was still low on health.

Only sjuush on the A2 floor was left facing the 1V4 endgame. He didn't even think about attacking and chose to protect his gun directly.

"You made my B2 counterattack look like a clown." es3tag raised his fist towards Su Zhe. "I was just about to send them back to A point to defend, but you killed them all by yourself."

Su Zhe smiled and bumped fists with es3tag: "If you hadn't gotten more information about A at point B, I definitely wouldn't have gone out to look for an opportunity!"

He was mainly afraid that the opponent would explode on his own initiative. When the time came, Team X's avenue was sealed with smoke, and the double A defense faced the attack of four people. Wouldn't that be a disaster?
As he was saying this, he suddenly remembered something and typed on the public screen: "NertZ, who gave you the courage to step on the sewer like that?"

I don't mean to be sarcastic, I'm just a little confused. Even when he was a free agent in NIP, he didn't dare to pull the archway from the sewer so boldly every round.

【NertZ：.】

NertZ: This was just a mistake. Next round, if you dare to show your head in the archway, I will kill you instantly.

Su Zhe smiled at this response and did not respond any further, but instead focused his attention on the game.

In the subsequent rounds, the two sides were not one-sided, and the feel of several people gradually improved.

However, the Desert City map still relies heavily on snipers, and Team X's current main sniper, nicoodoz, obviously performed somewhat unsatisfactorily. He used the sniper for several rounds on the offensive end but failed to play its due role.

Although headtr1ck's current strength and condition are not ideal, that is only compared to those snipers from truly top-tier teams.

It is more than enough to match up against the 24-year-old "veteran" nicoodoz.

In addition, NIP had the advantage on the CT side on the map, and at the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was fixed at 7-5.

"Sigh~ I didn't expect Team X to be so strong even after losing Brother Dianz! If there was a stronger sniper in the team, they could probably compete with those top-tier teams easily." k0nfig sighed, obviously dissatisfied with the score in the first half.

es3tag laughed and said, "Don't worry, we played pretty well in the last few rounds. It was mainly because we didn't play well in the first few spear rounds."

"As long as we can win the pistol round in the second half, we can still widen the gap."

DJL behind him nodded and said, "Right, so the pistol round is very important. Let's discuss how to play it. My suggestion is that you focus more on the B bomb site in the second half."
