CS: The Last Dance, a Dance That Leads to Professional Success

Chapter 4: The Sniper Arrives!

"No! Blackie is really V?"

"Holy crap! Black's Desert Eagle wiped out the entire enemy team this round!"

"Haha, that dog Yusa just said the Desert Eagle was useless, now tell me loudly, is the Desert Eagle useful or not?!"

"Am I seeing things? Black's touch is really good today!"

"Waaaaah! They're back! Blackie's back!"

"Wait! What was that crouching down to hide behind someone and getting hit by the stun gun? Did it turn on?"

"What a lucky break! What incredible luck!"

"."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

But in T's voice chat, the guy in blue paused for a moment, then immediately praised sincerely:
"Great gun! Awesome, bro!"

"Your Desert Eagle is amazing! You handled that clutch situation so beautifully!"

There are advantages to dying young.

You can watch your teammates perform.

The blue-clad passerby watched with a racing heart as Meng Lang first inexplicably yelled to shut Yusa up, then crouched down to dodge the stun gun and used his Desert Eagle to kill her. Next, he spun around in B1 and snatched the CT jumping down from the B2 crate, and finally took down Sanye with a long-range shot.

"strong!"

My cousin Wang Yitong, who doesn't talk much, also gave it a thumbs up.

At this moment, Yusa, who had been babbling on and on, and the female room manager, who had been complaining incessantly, seemed to have been silenced, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Meng Lang didn't pay much attention, still savoring the magical feeling of the moment when [Spider Sense] was triggered, and that crucial jolt. It was only when he heard the praise from his teammates and cousin that he came back to his senses.

"Basic operation, basic operation!"

He gave a polite greeting, then suddenly turned to Blue and said seriously, "Blue! We really need to play our best this round! I feel your marksmanship and awareness are quite good, much better than those 'all talk and no action.' If we want to win this round, we really need to rely on us."

A boastful person?

Yusa was stunned for a second before he realized that this was a sarcastic remark directed at him, and his face turned as red as a boiled pig!
At this point, he also learned who his teammate Meng Lang was through the chat messages in his live stream.

What a prodigy kid from the early days of CNCS.

What the hell is this?!
A washed-up professional gamer went abroad to play professionally but was fired!
Sorry, I wanted to laugh.

Yusa recalled the clips of that crucial EG match he had watched, and unable to save face, he immediately started mocking, "Oh! That's really impressive! A pro player came to Perfect World's ranked ladder to smurf! What a mess, buddy! If you're so good, how come you managed to hit someone in the leg with that shot in the match?"

The implication is that you're just a professional noob, yet you're trying to act all high and mighty.

However, as soon as Yusa said this...

Even the casual viewers in Meng Lang's live stream were looking at each other in bewilderment.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone in the face; it's a bit much to rub salt into someone's wounds after you've already reopened them.

Unexpectedly, Meng Lang didn't take it to heart at all, and replied with two words in a "sincere" tone:

"nervous."

"."

Yusa, who was watching Meng Lang lose face, was stunned by those two words.

You mean nervous?
And you said it so sincerely!
puff--!
The viewers in the live stream burst out laughing!

The long-range round was turned around, and everyone on the CT side was very upset.

“There’s something wrong with Wang Yanbing from this ordinary company,” Danking suddenly said.

"What's the problem?" Mitsuha asked instinctively.

“It doesn’t seem like an ordinary company,” Danking said in a deep voice.

"." Mitsuha.

"Don't worry about it. It's just a bit of luck that gave me a good feel for it."

San Ye immediately shook his head noncommittally and said, "You guys force your way in this round, just watch my Desert Eagle come back and fight your way out."

Danking quickly came up with a strategy for this force buy game.

"Okay, then let's leave this point to A big, you Desert Eagle guard A platform, and we'll guard A small middle gate and B hole."

In a force buy round, the CTs are at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry and are not suitable for long-range gunfights at A site.

It would be better to let Sanye guard Platform A alone to gather information, fire a few shots with the Desert Eagle, and wait for teammates to return to defend once they spot someone.

Unfortunately, in this round, Meng Lang used an AK to break through from B1 around the middle gate. Although his AK was not as overpowered as those of the European and American pros, he could still handle it perfectly in a ranked match. He easily broke through the middle gate defense by flashing out at the same time!
Yes, the breakthrough was still in Danking's mid lane—Danking didn't go to A but instead built an MP9 to guard the mid gate, trying to provide support as soon as possible when T attacked A or B.

Unexpectedly, Meng Lang AK, who came out from the middle door, directly sent the dump truck flying.

"Wang Yanbing from an ordinary company used an AK47 to headshot and kill Danking!"

Danking, who was pinned to the wall by Chuangfei, was startled and immediately couldn't help but complain, "Holy crap! That was too fast! The flashbang hadn't even detonated yet and the guy was already out. This Wang Yanbing from the ordinary company is toxic!!! He almost shoved the gun barrel into my mouth."

Upon hearing Danking's words, the viewers in the live stream all laughed.

"Little glutton, you like to eat gun barrels, don't you?"

"Young people sleep so well, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."

"Who is this Wang Yanbing? His marksmanship is quite ruthless!"

"."

In this match, after Meng Lang broke through the middle gate, he immediately blocked the police's smoke screen and his teammates at B hole to flank B.

Seeing that the middle gate at point B was going to be destroyed, the CT, who had also rushed an MP9, didn't think about engaging in a direct gunfight. Instead, he quickly used smoke to protect himself and drag his teammates back to defend from the white car.

"The person is in the white car."

Meng Lang, who entered B through the dog hole, quickly checked for dead spots and sniper positions, then locked onto the white car's location. He immediately informed his teammates, then chuckled and said, "Plunder!"

Yusa and his female roommate did not respond immediately.

But the cousin, the blue random guy, and Meng Lang, along with three others, fired three grenades, creating a deliberate bombardment zone that happily eliminated the CT from the white car, with Meng Lang taking the kill.

Then my cousin planted the bomb, and five people defended it.

The moment the bomb countdown lit up, Mitsuha, who had returned to defend the sandy area, felt a chill run down her spine.

Scorching Sands II!

Defending point B has always been a major challenge.

"It's guaranteed."

Mitsuha, who was squatting in Pit A, shook her head.

With three against five, there was absolutely no chance of winning. In this force buy, the CTs had no choice but to save their weapons.

If they don't secure the next round, they'll be broke.

Unfortunately, T wouldn't let them protect him at all. My cousin was on defense, and the other four all came out to surrender.

Meng Lang secured two more kills with AK, completing a quad kill in a single round.

From a death-view perspective, Danking, watching Meng Lang's continuous spam in the upper right corner of the screen and his 9/1 score over three rounds, finally realized something was wrong. He yelled in his hoarse voice, "Hey bro! Didn't you bring me here to 'fish' (a derogatory term for inexperienced players)? Why do I feel like we're the ones getting 'fished'? Why is Wang Yanbing being killed? Who the hell is this guy?"

Danking probably never imagined that Meng Lang, a professional player who plays in the European and American shark pool, would come to Perfect World to play ranked matches.

There was nothing Meng Lang could do; he didn't want to either, it was all part of the system's tasks.

However, the CT side started arguing in the new round because there was a little incident when they surrendered their weapons.

The reason was that the blue-clad random guy and Yusa moved from B1 towards the middle lane. After confirming that there were people at the corner of B1 and the middle gate, the blue-clad random guy shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm going to throw a grenade."

However, eager to get the kill, Yusa rushed forward, only to be taken down by a burst of submachine gun fire from the enemy who were positioned close by!
[Milk-white Yukiko used an MP9 to headshot and kill Yusa]

boom!
Just then, the passerby's grenade exploded!
Yusa, who had just been killed while taking a girl with him, was so embarrassed that he immediately started yelling in anger upon hearing the thunder!
"Holy crap! Who detonated that?! Who set off that grenade?!"

"Gamer, high-explosive grenade @ mid lane, dude! If I charge in, can you please stop blowing up your damn grenade?"

"But I just said beforehand that I threw a grenade!" The blue-clad passerby was a little confused.

And the mine only explodes after you're dead, so what does that have to do with detonating a mine?
Yusa was also taken aback for a moment, then stubbornly replied:
"Dude, stop disgusting me, okay? I'm already out here, and you're telling me to throw a bomb? I'm so angry I could throw my mother's bomb!"

The clumsy, speechless passerby in blue felt guilty after being confronted like that and couldn't utter a word.

Yusa, however, persisted, joining forces with the female roommate to press, "Where are you from? Your accent sounds like someone from XX. Do people from XX not understand Chinese? Or can't they understand human speech?"

Why are these guys yelling so much?

Meng Lang simply couldn't stand seeing honest people being bullied.

"No, buddy, they told you beforehand they were going to throw the grenade." "Even if they didn't, let me ask you this: Are you human? Do you have eyes? Can you react in a situation? Do you have any reflexes? Do you know the typical reaction time range for a modern adult male?"

When Yusa heard Meng Lang's words, he immediately tried to refute them, but suddenly felt that they sounded familiar.

Upon closer reflection, he was astonished to realize that these were the words he had used to criticize the random guy in the blue lane in the previous game, which Meng Lang had then repeated verbatim.

His face instantly turned a deep brown.

This made even the viewers in Yusa's Bilibili live stream burst out laughing.

"Haha! That was hilarious!"

"This Wang Yanbing is quite something!"

"To be honest, Yusa really went a bit too far this time."

"."

"You're spouting nonsense, isn't this going a bit too far?"

"These brainless fans have no brains. I won't even mention how this idiot streamer is constantly cursing his teammates. Let's at least get 4000+ views on Hellfire, okay?"

"I really don't understand this streamer's 'Hell High' style."

"It's so annoying to watch. Every time I die in a game, people frantically look for teammates. Is it all the teammates' fault?"

"."

If he doesn't get matched with Meng Lang this game, given the personality of the random guy in blue, he might be bullied and pressured for the entire game.

But now Meng Lang has spoken out for justice, directly confronting Yusa and leaving him somewhat speechless.

In addition, the comments in Yusa's own live stream were not quite right, so he could only selectively try to cover it up, saying, "I didn't do any hellish hype. What I mean is that I'm family with XX people, right? Even family isn't okay! Are you guys overreacting?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I'll just mute my mic this time, alright?"

He said that last sentence in the game's voice chat.

You should have shut up a long time ago; your communication is completely negative.

Meng Lang thought to himself.

He doesn't hold grudges, and besides, he was using G2's computer to play Perfect World today entirely for the newbie quest rewards.

Without Yusa's constant chatter, after Meng Lang's Desert Eagle comeback in the second game and securing this point, the blue random player gradually regained his form. Sniper Wang Yitong also performed steadily after getting his AWP, making the rest of the first half of the game much easier.

Although Danking and Sanye on the opposing team occasionally managed to score a few points, Meng Lang's hand injury did sometimes affect his performance, making it difficult for him to maintain a consistently good touch.
But by the end of the first half, Meng Lang's team, T, still had a score of 10-5, leading the opponent by 5 points.

When they switched sides, Sanye and Danking told their teammates that Sand 2 was a T map, and that if they played as terrorists and scored well in the second half, they could catch up.

However, reality is cruel.

Meng Lang scored a few points in the first half, but his touch cooled off a bit in the second half, while his cousin Wang Yitong stepped up.

They have two players guarding point A.

My cousin was actually a member of NAVI's youth academy; he almost got an offer from G2 to play as a main sniper.

Starting with a quad kill in the pistol round, Wang Yitong snipes the first kill in several subsequent rounds.

With Meng Lang's props and follow-up shots, point A was defended impregnably by the two brothers.

When the opposing team dared not launch a strong attack on A site, my cousin actually pushed the A door with his sniper rifle and managed to get the first kill outside A door through the crack in the door.

CT scored four points in a row, bringing the score to 14-5.

In this game, T started from A small and fought their way up. In the middle lane, Yusa and the female moderator were the first to die.

When the blue-clad player returned to defend from point B, he was intercepted and killed by the T player left at the middle gate. Meng Lang and Wang Yitong from A University quickly returned to defend platform A.

"I'm out of cigarettes. I'll throw a flashbang. Can you set up platform A for me?" Meng Lang said succinctly.

"Okay!" my cousin nodded.

Next, Meng Lang used his flashbang to get onto the slope, his cousin sniped one of the A platform players, and Meng Lang reached the slope and used his AK to sweep and kill two more.

[Wang Yanbing, a soldier from an ordinary company, used an AK47 to headshot and kill Sakurajima Ari Mai.]

[Wang Yanbing, from a regular company, used an AK47 to kill the milk-white Xuezi!]

"Holy crap! Wang Yanbing's gone on another killing spree!"

In the T team's voice chat, Danking quickly shouted, "Teammates, you're going to A site, Sanye, just don't expose yourself, I'll go around to A main."

"Be careful, the enemy sniper hasn't come back yet, they might set up a counter-position at A door." Sanye frowned and reminded him, then a smile appeared on her lips. "It's a slope, I can just hold it straight. I don't care if his AK can tear my AWP apart."

As a current professional sniper in China, Mitsuha has her own confidence.

Menglang on the slope tried Peeking!
boom-!
Mitsuha was completely unfazed by the swaying, and even as Meng Lang retreated, she locked onto his position, shot him through the wooden crate, and his health dropped by 84 points.

"A terrible injury!" Mitsuha's lips curled up.

You want to tear my sniper rifle apart?

Too young!
At the same time, Meng Lang from CT was also feeling a bit of a headache as he listened to the bomb countdown.

"No, the enemy sniper is positioned too tightly."

He was originally a sniper, and although he has switched to rifles, he is more proficient with the M4A1 when he is the main defender of point B.

AK weapons are not his forte either.

"Perhaps switching to a sniper rifle is worth a try."

Cousin Wang Yitong calmly said, "Someone has bypassed Gate A. I only have grenades left, so I can't get through."

Without a smoke screen behind him, he wouldn't be able to PeekA and engage in a gunfight with Sanye.

Wait! Is there a mine?

You have thunder!
I have mine too!

Upon hearing this, Meng Lang's heart stirred, and a bold idea popped into his mind!

"Then use lightning!"

Meng Lang suddenly spoke up.

"what?"

My cousin was taken aback and blinked.

What followed was a scene that left Meng Lang's viewers in his Douyu livestream speechless.

Meng Lang from A-side and Wang Yitong from A-big were facing each other, and almost simultaneously switched to their guns and threw them at the moment they threw grenades in front of them!
Boom!
Boom!
The sniper rifle and the AK landed at the same time at the grenade detonation point!

It's important to know that CS:GO's Source engine gives in-game objects, including guns, realistic physical interaction properties. When a high-explosive grenade explodes, it generates a shockwave that exerts force on the gun models within range, causing them to be blown away or bounce off!

A sniper rifle and an AK!

Before it even landed, it was launched into the air amidst intense flames and hurtled towards its opponent.

"Sniper, come at me!!!"

Meng Lang let out a soft shout!
The moment he took the gun, he suddenly peeked out from the slope.

Pre-aiming!

Open the camera!
He doesn't care about anyone.

The next second, Mitsuha peeked out from the other side of A Elementary School, close to the wall.

Meng Lang reacted almost instinctively; the moment he saw it, he flung it out!

"boom--!"

A flash of muzzle flash from the sniper rifle!
[Wang Yanbing from a regular company killed z4KR with an AWP!]

Mitsuha: ? ? ?
Isn't it an AK?
Where the hell did he get that sniper rifle?

Almost simultaneously, Wang Yitong, Meng Lang's cousin who had picked up the AK at the A pit and was backing up at the A gate, also took down Danking in a gunfight.

[Shadow killed Danking with an AK47!]

A messy situation between cousins!

Take it!

Danking was completely dumbfounded!
He thought his cousin had a sniper rifle, so he threw a flashbang from A door, grabbed a gun, and sprinted out. Who would have thought the other side had switched to an AK!
At this moment, all the viewers in Meng Lang's live stream were also shocked!

Holy crap!

You two brothers, do you have to play so cool?!
This time, the chat in Meng Lang's live stream was absolutely explosive!
