CS: A young talent from Peking University, you want me to play professionally?

After the opposing team used a flashbang in the mid lane, they chose to gank the mid lane at the right time. In fact, for Na in this round, the opponent made such an attempt without Na's knowledge, which was a bit too hasty.

Even without the suppression of the sniper rifle, if they were to push out like this and NA had prepared in advance to set up their guns, it would be difficult for them to find many opportunities with this burst of flashbangs.

"Team A's attempt in the mid lane felt a bit too risky. After all, everyone should know that Cobra's AWP is completely different from other people's AWPs. You could even say that the accuracy of his AWP, especially the headshot rate, is comparable to the lethality of an AWP. Because they were prepared to be flashed in advance, Cobra's push out resulted in a headshot kill on one person, and the other two NA players in the mid lane also successfully killed another person."

In an instant, the two players on Team A who had gone out to try and calmly play in the mid lane were killed. For Team A, being hit with such a numerical disadvantage at the start of the game was extremely painful, instantly turning their advantage into a disadvantage.

More importantly, this is a phase where both sides should be playing a game of map control and skirmishing. Na, having found an opportunity to create a numerical advantage in the mid lane, has now chosen to accelerate from the mid lane after securing a kill.

For Team A, since both of their defenders in the middle lane were pushed out and taken down, there is now only one person left in the middle lane and on the second floor.

Faced with the sudden acceleration of NA's five players, A's remaining player was completely hesitant to attempt any plays. Therefore, A was now in a very disadvantageous position. It would be extremely difficult for them to mount a three-man counter-attack under these circumstances.

After gaining the advantage, Na didn't want to give Team A too much room for maneuver or opportunities. Therefore, their defensive formation at the bomb site was very compact. In this situation, they didn't want to give the CTs too many opportunities to rotate back. After all, based on the situation, they could deduce that the CTs likely had someone trying to rotate back from the B bomb site.

"Given the current situation, Team A must be in a real bind, as their CT position is completely blocked. The only way for the two of them to find an opportunity to rotate back is through coordination and cooperation from the mid lane. But judging from the current situation, it's clear that it's quite difficult for them to salvage the game."

Logically, in this situation, Team A should opt for a safer choice: save their weapons. Breaking through a tight defense of five opponents with only two players is extremely difficult, especially given the significant numerical disadvantage. Therefore, if Team A doesn't give them any opportunities or space, their two remaining players are likely to be eliminated without a fight.

From God's perspective, Team A has been squeezed out of much room. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult for them to find opportunities to deal with this situation when they are at a significant disadvantage.

Strictly speaking, choosing to save their guns would be the safest option, but because they had just won two rounds in a row, even though the situation was very critical, they still wanted to find some space on the periphery.

If they can seize an opportunity on the periphery to take down one or two people from NA's side, then they have a chance to make a move in this situation.

"They probably won't give us any more chances now, and if they can get the location information of the two of us, or determine our approximate location, they will definitely surrender."

Actually, although Team A is in a very difficult position this round, they never expected that they would be in such a huge disadvantage so quickly. However, because they just won two rounds that boosted their morale, even with only two players left, they still want to find opportunities against the opponent's five players and don't want to give up easily.

However, although they have just won two rounds, their economy is not yet in a very good position. Therefore, they cannot completely disregard their two spears, armor, and items. So, even when looking for opportunities, they must consider the feasibility of the endgame.

If they fail to gain an advantageous position or achieve a numerical advantage, they cannot directly step into a dangerous spot, leaving themselves with no chance to escape.

"We can see that Team A's players are still very confident and are constantly looking for opportunities. But for them, it must feel like they're punching cotton, unable to exert their strength. Even though they really want to seek opportunities to engage in gunfights and create kills, allowing them to use utility and move to the bomb site to further attempt to complete their mission, they are still struggling."

However, in this situation, Na will basically not give them any chance, especially after the losses in the previous two rounds. They absolutely do not want to let Team A gain any more points in their winning streak, and it is very difficult for them to create such an opportunity in this endgame.

From the commentators' perspective, Team A didn't really have much of a chance in this round. After all, this wasn't a match like RA or a "stomping" game where two players could easily tear apart the opponent's defense and open up the game. In this situation, Na, as a highly disciplined team, wouldn't give them any particularly outrageous opportunities.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the two members of Team A chose to withdraw, preserving the two spears. This meant they would still be in full armor and defense for the next round. Giving away the two spears would have introduced some unforeseen circumstances and variables for the next round.

"Okay, in that case, Team A doesn't really have many options in this round. Judging from the usual situation, it's hard for them to expect AA to get going in this round, especially in the mid lane, showing great patience. We also know that while Team A's individual players are very strong, their tactics are often criticized because once they gain an advantage or start to catch up, their players tend to become less disciplined. If they get carried away and play too aggressively, they're prone to situations like what happened at the beginning of this round, where two players, without accurately assessing the situation and gathering sufficient information, immediately called out two flashbangs. This kind of attempt is a very risky move when playing against top teams."

After losing this round, it was obvious that the players on Team A were a little uneasy, and the coach looked somewhat dissatisfied. In his opinion, they had the advantage in firearms and items in this round, and their morale was high after winning two points in a row.

If they were facing a team whose individual skills were far inferior to their own, it would be understandable for them to make some bold attempts, since sometimes numerical advantages can solve most problems. However, making such a choice against NA clearly shows a lack of thought and a somewhat rash decision.

"You all still need to be clear at all times that you are facing a strong team like NA. Although we are only meeting them in the Swiss rounds now, and we will most likely enter the group stage together with them."

However, we must understand that when facing them, we must instinctively tell ourselves that we must always maintain a very clear mind and avoid making unreasonable or overly rash choices.

Because we do need to come up with some unconventional tactics in many situations. After all, if we use very conventional tactics, they can easily figure everything out, and our chances of winning are very small.

However, for any attempt we make, we must have information or other sources to support it. Therefore, in the next round, I think it's more important for you to adjust your mindset and maintain a high level of concentration.

After losing this round, Team A promptly called a timeout. On one hand, in the next round, which is a rifle round, they must try their best to win this point, because if they lose, the score gap will widen further. Now that more than half of the first half has passed, if they cannot narrow the score gap, the pressure will be relatively high when they switch to offense after the transition.

After Team A's coach called a timeout, the first thing he emphasized was their overall discipline. Judging from previous rounds, Team A's players were in pretty good form, and most of their choices were fairly standard. The reason they were currently at a significant disadvantage in the score was largely due to their passive defense. Facing NA's highly flexible offense, they were largely reactive on defense, only able to react after their opponents made their choices.

Therefore, he felt that some basic problems could be forgiven in this situation. However, like in the last round, where they had an advantage in terms of firearms and equipment, their unreasonable recklessness led them into an almost irrecoverable disadvantage at the start of the round, which was unacceptable.

After giving instructions in this regard, Team A's coach also provided some tactical inspiration and arrangements for the players. In his view, Na's core ideas and concepts from the beginning of the game until now have almost all revolved around the mid lane. In fact, Team A had already prepared for and anticipated this before the game, since the mid lane and A2 building are absolutely crucial positions on this map.

In most cases, if you want to directly speed up the banana lane, the chances of successfully breaking through are relatively small. Even if you can open up the situation by relying on the attacking side's numerical advantage, it will likely come at a great cost.

Therefore, Team A's players clearly understand that they should focus their defense on the middle lane and A2 building, and they have done a very good job in this regard in previous rounds. Because if other teams were to follow NA's defensive tactics in today's match, they would likely struggle to score points in the first half so far, and might even fail to score at all.

Putting that aside, Team A's head coach actually believes they should be making more rational and unconventional attempts, just like they did in the rounds they won before. For example, in the early stages, they could put pressure on NA from the A2 position or the front point of the banana lane.

After the pause, Team A returned and made adjustments based on their gunplay. They immediately equipped themselves with an AWP, which practically depleted their economic reserves. If they couldn't secure the round, they would have no choice but to completely eco in the next round.

"They should have a sniper rifle this round. When they cross the point, you must provide them with utility. Don't try to rush in, or it would be disrespectful to the enemy sniper rifle."

Because if the opposing team finds an opportunity in this round, they will likely implement a lot of targeted defensive strategies against us.

Having faced off against their opponents so many times, Li Mo knew very well that Team A would make significant tactical adjustments after a timeout, and these adjustments were often very effective.
