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

After applying pressure to the mid lane, Team A became increasingly proactive, and their immediate counter-clearing proved to be very effective.

More importantly, they had an inherent advantage in their position, and NA didn't expect them to swiftly impose sanctions on the outside of the point.

Therefore, under such circumstances, due to insufficient preparation and their disadvantageous position, when Team A used a wave of items to counterattack, Na's mid laner was immediately eliminated.

It's fair to say that after taking such a long detour, the mid-lane players were immediately eliminated, which is an unacceptable outcome for NA in this pistol round.

After all, for them, whether they can secure the mid-lane position is crucial for this round.

However, after spending so much time getting to the mid lane, it's obviously a huge loss to have it destroyed without achieving anything.

"Nice! We've already gained this advantage so quickly. Now, let's not harass them any further outside the bomb site, and we should retreat to a safe position. After all, now that we have a clear advantage and the initiative, they, as the defenders, must be even more anxious. Now that we've completed the transition from offense to defense, we just need to carefully and cautiously expand our advantage and wear them down. That will make things very difficult for them on the defensive."

"We must remember to be highly disciplined and avoid risky attempts. In the previous rounds, or rather the entire first half, we failed to capitalize on many endgame situations due to a lack of discipline. Our first half was essentially a microcosm of the entire game's lack of discipline, so now that we've adjusted our mindset, we must remember this."

Team A's resilience is remarkable because after facing a significant disadvantage in the first half, with the score widening considerably, they adjusted their strategy in the second half after discussions among the coaches and players, particularly regarding tactical reflection. This allowed them to maintain excellent discipline.

Furthermore, their commanders are able to provide excellent mental guidance to the players throughout the entire competition. This is actually a very important thing, because if a player encounters mental problems during the competition and there is no commander or coach to help them resolve them, it would be a very serious situation.

Team A made another reasonable adjustment to their tactics, especially after calmly analyzing the current situation on the field and making the best response in terms of positioning. It can be said that this round has become even more difficult for NA.

After all, if they want to find a breakthrough in this round, on the one hand, they already have a great history in the field, and on the other hand, after the opponent planted the C4, they will be under great time pressure.

More importantly, now that a crucial mid-lane position has been destroyed, it will be extremely difficult for them to coordinate better during this defensive round, especially to launch a counter-attack using items.

"We see that NA, facing this already extremely difficult round, is still choosing to push forward with a slow-paced map control strategy. Logically speaking, after a lot of time has been used up and the opponent has gained a significant advantage in the early stages, NA should try to find a quick breakthrough as much as possible."

In this situation, we can see that NA is being very cautious, or perhaps their tactics are a bit too protracted. After all, time is running out for them to make adjustments and plan their moves. If they continue with this slow-paced map control, time will become a major constraint.

From the commentator's perspective, the time left for NA to make any moves in this round is indeed very limited. If they are playing such a slow-paced map control game, if it's not a pistol round, it would even look like they are preparing to save their weapons from a god's-eye view.

However, what the commentators didn't know was that the reason Li Mo immediately gave that footwork was to create confusion for the opponent through footwork and information. In such situations, using footwork to confuse the opponent is crucial.

Because in matches between top teams, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant; subtle details can determine the fate of an entire round. For NA, they are currently in a very passive position. If they cannot find good opportunities and breakthroughs, and take the initiative in the battle, then turning the tide in this round will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, in this situation, Na's choice was to first give the opponent a confusing idea. After that, their second move was to suddenly accelerate. This acceleration would undoubtedly catch the opponent off guard in the battle. For both sides, this unconventional sudden acceleration would be quite unexpected for Team A, who was defending point A.

"Go all out with a burst of flashbangs, don't be stingy with your items. This sudden speed boost is the only opportunity we can seize this round. So everyone must concentrate and achieve the best results."

After Li Mo gave the final command, all of Na's players instantly accelerated from three positions: the second floor, the middle lane, and the CT position. This acceleration was likely to have a very good effect on Na.

Undoubtedly, this sudden acceleration was completely unexpected for Team A. They had just received footwork information from NA at the front post, and they hadn't anticipated this. With this false information, NA gave them no time to react, and the instantaneous acceleration disrupted their original strategy. Having gained this advantage, Team A, especially after their commander emphasized discipline, wanted to play conservatively. However, this very conservatism left them with few opportunities to react effectively, leading to them being caught off guard and losing two players instantly.

"Don't hesitate at all. Now that we have this advantage, we must expand it further. After we've created a breakthrough for them, their situation is definitely not stable. And now that we have this opportunity to expand our control of the map and take control of the forward positions, we absolutely must break through as quickly as possible."

Li Mo was well aware that achieving such a result under these circumstances was extremely difficult. If they didn't take advantage of the moment when the opponent's defense was breached to immediately increase their speed and break through, they would face the biggest problem in this round: time constraints.

Because they had already wasted too much time and dared not accelerate boldly due to their disadvantage, if it weren't for this unconventional breakthrough that caught the opponent off guard and prevented them from making a good aim, then it could be said that the outcome of this round would have been already lost.

Now that we have found a breakthrough in this critical moment, we must try our best to gain further advantages after securing this position.

"We have to say that OA is always very wise and reasonable in their tactical decisions. Usually, even top teams with a lot of tactical reserves are not able to think of using false information from the opponent and then coordinating unconventional tactics when they are at a disadvantage."

Their tactic in this wave undoubtedly achieved great results, so we can see that Na is now going to continue to accelerate. After all, we all know that for Na, after securing two kills, the most pressing issue is that they need to race against time.

For Na, they now have less than 15 seconds left to make their moves, and as everyone knows, 15 seconds is an extremely short time. If they can't instantly eliminate all those who could threaten to defuse the bomb at the bomb site, or apply absolute pressure, Na will find this round very difficult.

"Hold them back, we must hold them back! Even if they manage to create a numerical advantage, they will undoubtedly face immense pressure against us. All we need to do now is slow them down, prevent them from quickly getting to the bomb site, and eliminate our defenders, and we can win this pistol round."

After Team A's commander laid out the tactics, their team members were undoubtedly in a bit of a headache. They had already used up all their items in this round, and if they wanted to find an opportunity under these circumstances, they would have to pay a heavy price. This price was to make a quick pull and, when necessary, to make a decisive peek.

For NA, this breakthrough is undoubtedly a desperate gamble, and for Team A, lacking utility, holding the bomb site will be extremely difficult.

"There's no time to lose. We have to act decisively. I'll move out to create space for you guys. Once you follow up, don't hesitate and provide follow-up shots immediately. In this 4v3 situation, the enemy team definitely doesn't have any extra items. After we move out, we're basically on equal footing, so don't worry. As long as we can break through, they'll most likely suffer a lot after we get a kill exchange."

After hearing Li Mo's words, the other members of Na's team were quite surprised, because they never expected that Li Mo would choose to be the first to break out and create space for the other three people under such circumstances. Normally, the team's leader would create space for him to deal damage.

However, Li Mo was very clear that if he took the initiative to pull out, he could potentially inflict more damage on the opponent within a very limited time. As long as he could create great trouble for the opponent in the first instance, he believed that his teammates could still do a very stable job in the remaining time.

With Li Mo pulling out, the opposing team was immediately under immense pressure. In Team A's situation, without any utility, the two sides were evenly matched in a gunfight. However, they never expected that Li Mo, who was the first to rush out, would have such incredible marksmanship, taking down one of their players outside the CT position.

Even though the remaining two players on Team A quickly finished off the remaining enemies, it was clear that Team A still had three other players. By the time the opposing team tried to do more, it was already too late.

"Okay, in that case, although there were many twists and turns from beginning to end in this round, C's self-sacrifice in the last wave created a very good space for his teammates. Even though Team A's gun skills were very good in the end, after the two of them took down C, the two NA players who broke through, but in the end, Zaiwu successfully killed the last member of Team A."

In this situation, the two sides ultimately achieved a 4-for-5 exchange in the pistol round. Although NA was in a very passive position throughout the round, thanks to their understanding of tactics and their decisive tactical choices, they successfully won the pistol round.
