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

Chapter 72 The Shadow of the Demon King Descends Upon This World! (Part Two)

That last iron plate was part of a "Legendary Team Welcome Ceremony" meticulously planned by Karrigan for Meng Lang!
Welcome to the hierarchical world of CS!

He wanted to give this Major newcomer a hard time!

Unexpectedly, the opponent managed to crack it with a seemingly ordinary USP!
And in such a domineering and ruthless way, he got a pentakill!

The issue is!
How could the opponent achieve such an effect with a USP?

Top clubs like FAZE have dedicated data analysts. Based on the detailed data reports provided by the analysts, and the G2 Challenger Group match demos that Big Brother himself watched repeatedly.

He knew very well that Meng Lang's headshot rate with the USP in the pistol round was actually quite average.

He's not necessarily worse than Karrigan, but he's definitely not among the top professional players.

It was based on this seemingly reliable data that he designed this "rush into the wall" tactic, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent's weakest point.

The results of it?
The opponent actually managed to wipe him out in one fell swoop!
Is this reasonable?

Can data lie?
Where exactly did he train his pistol marksmanship?
This rate of progress is just too outrageous!

Where would he find the time to practice?

Could there be some kind of "meditation training" involved?
These absurd thoughts made even the eldest cousin laugh in exasperation!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging astonishment and a hint of barely perceptible annoyance in his heart, and quickly glanced down at the tactics notebook in his hand, breaking the brief silence in the team voice chat:
"It's nothing, it's just the first point, a minor incident."

"Let's force buy next game, guys! It's time to get serious."

……

Douyu, live stream room 6657.

The player, still reeling from the shock of Meng Lang's pentakill, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Wow! G2 played so beautifully this round! They finally broke the pistol round curse of this Major! Also, I don't know if everyone noticed a detail, but since the beginning of this Major, many of the pistol rounds where G2 was stuck were basically won by Dark's individual skill. It's no exaggeration to say that he won a round by himself!"

"Alright, now the score between G2 and FAZE is 1-0. Winning the pistol round gives them a good economic advantage. Let's look at FAZE's side. Did they really choose to force buy in the second round?"

"But wait!" the machine voice exclaimed, "It seems that Lee Shen has anticipated FAZE's intention to push forward, and their default defense on this point is very solid!"

At this moment, the broadcast camera on the big screen clearly showed G2's solid defensive formation:
Old Ni started by moving to the outer warehouse, where he was responsible for guarding both K1 and the main entrance.

m0NESY was inside the main entrance, responsible for listening to footsteps on the outside and assisting in defending against possible iron gate rushes;

My cousin jumped into the yellow house right at the start of the game and simultaneously threw a grenade and an incendiary grenade—a "rush-proof package"—precisely at the iron gate.
Meng Lang, on the other hand, was on the third floor and was given a yellow fire at the start.

Speaking of which, Meng Lang, who was switched to the third floor this time, was actually playing an extremely flexible support defensive position.

He not only had to guard the iron gate and yellow room inside the field, but also had to immediately pull out and set up guns if there was any movement outside. At the same time, if there was any situation with the iron plate that Little Li was guarding, he also had to jump down the ladder from the third floor to provide support.

There was no way around it; that earth-shattering pentakill at the start of the game made Commander Xiao Li think that Meng Lang's performance today was simply unbelievably fierce.

Since he was the first to warm up his hands, he naturally had to take on more defensive responsibilities.

In live stream room 6657, the sounds of people playing with machines rang out again:

"We can see that G2's defense in this round is very solid, mostly back-point defense, not giving you a chance to fight at close range in a force buy round. What about FAZE who forced buy? Big Brother opened four windows at the start and is now on the second floor of the terrorists, starting to deploy the inner site utility, but this wave is really not easy to fight. Li Shen of G2 has interpreted Big Brother's force buy intention. The defense is too solid. Even if they block the third floor and block the front of the inner site with flashbangs, they may not be able to catch a good timing."

"Okay, there are 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game. CT is also preparing the second round of power-ups. We're just waiting for you to go first. Once you go first, I'll throw a counter power-up, okay?" "But wait, FAZE's rain hasn't even started yet, and G2's iron gate smoke and yellow room fire have already started. Lee's default defense in this game is too meticulous! No wonder he's an academic-style commander."

"That's tough on FAZE! You can't just say you'll wait until the smoke clears at the iron gate before detonating the bomb, can you? There's no time to do that."

This is true.

On camera, the eldest cousin gave the order to detonate the bomb the instant the fire in the yellow room went out!
Cigarette pipe under the iron gate!
My cousin smoked a pack of cigarettes inside the room!

Assist Flash!
Light a cigarette closer to the inside field + light a cigarette further away from the inside field!
A moment!

Three smoke grenades exploded in sequence inside the venue, forming an impenetrable wall of smoke!
The next second, the director who had just picked up a Tec-9 in the yellow room, the moment Rain God threw out the smoke grenade hidden in the yellow room, directly spun the C4 in his hand and rushed into the inner smoke grenade using the flash effect!
In live stream room 6657, a user named "Playing with Machines" immediately analyzed FAZE's explosive bombs and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh! A smoke grenade inside! Is FAZE using their ultimate move in the second round? Is the director going to plant the bomb through the smoke this time?"

As the conversation about the machine continued, a "beep" sounded from the smoke as the C4 was planted!
The next second, the cousin on the yellow roof, m0NESY inside the main entrance, and Meng Lang on the third floor all fired wildly at the location in the smoke where the bomb planter might be!
Da da da!
Da da da!
Countless bullets pierced through the smoke, emitting a chilling whistling sound!

But then, the player's eyes widened suddenly! He spoke rapidly: "Holy crap! Wait! The director walked away silently! He didn't actually plant the bomb! His teammates are rotating the metal plate! Holy crap, awesome! Using a fake bomb as a fake attack! G2 fell for it!"

"Damn it! Li Shen is already heading back to the third floor from the metal plate! He was perfectly sidestepped by Ropz, who had already silently moved to the vicinity of the connection!"

Da da da--!
Curry's gunshot rang out, and Little Li was stolen away!

ropz quickly threw the curry in his hand to rain behind him, and then quickly picked up the M4A1 that Leonardo DiCaprio had dropped. He then immediately blocked the third floor, cutting off the CTs' route back to the iron plate from the third floor!
Meanwhile, his teammates all entered the B bomb site unimpeded from the direction of the iron plate!

The sound of someone playing with a machine, tinged with a hint of groaning, came again:
"Wait! There's another trick up your sleeve! During the fake drop, Broky went straight down the pipe! He went underground and circled around K1! On the K1 side, Old Ni in the outer warehouse realized something was wrong! He quickly went down K1 to try and flank underground! But he didn't expect the K1 T to arrive so quickly! Old Ni was also taken down by Broky!"

Almost simultaneously with the machine's bubble sound wailing, the director of the underground station, who had a smooth journey, checked into the B area bunker and immediately pressed the C4 code to start planting the bunker!
Next up is the CT team facing a 3v5 disadvantage during their defensive rotation!

"We really can't go there! T has already picked up a gun, they have a weapon advantage, and they've got a good position at the bomb site. Li Shen, Li Shen immediately called to save his gun! If we don't save our gun, we'll be broke after losing the next round!"

"Holy crap! Big Brother really pulled off a spectacular force buy round! That planted bomb and faked attack tactic is just too outrageous!"

"Now FAZE is going to tie the score at 1-1, but wait! Dark didn't save his weapon! What? He came down from the third floor and quietly crept towards the metal plate! Oh! I get it! He probably wanted to cut off any FAZE players who might come to the red box!"

"But there's Ropz on this side of the iron plate! He's hiding in a spot the CTs would never expect! Yes! He's at the connector, can you believe it? The Ts are all underground right now, and normally no one would look at that connector spot!"

"Dark—! Are you really going?"

Amidst the tense sounds of playing the machine, the next second, his tone suddenly rose, filled with disbelief:
"Wait! What! Dark saw it! He was sniping from the metal plate position, peeked out from a small angle, and instantly took down Ropz hiding in the connector! Then he fought off Rain and Karrigan, and with his precise spray and movement, he actually managed to kill Rain and Karrigan! One for three!"

"Dark was too low on health and died from the C4 explosion! Well, that's a good result! FAZE won the force buy round, but they lost both of their newly acquired M4A1 rifles!"

In an instant, the 6657 live stream room was flooded with "6666!"

"Hilarious! Ropz, that old codger, tried to trick people, but ended up getting killed instead!"

"Speaking of which, I think Dark was also startled by the camera just now, right?"

"It's just routine. Dark always gets a 'jolt' at this point, but the amazing thing is that he can always turn the tables and kill the person after scaring them, can you believe it?"

“Dark: You scared me. It's only fair that you pay with your life.”

"Faze probably didn't just lose one, they lost all three! The worst part is that the two long guns they picked up are gone! What a huge loss!"
