“Oh! Right off the start, at Li-shen’s T spawn, a VIP smoke goes out. G2’s formation is three A1, one A2, and Dark’s position—this round he didn’t go harass B apartments, but instead threw a B short smoke and worked mid directly! Looks like G2 has prepared an A-split package for this round!”
“What about EG? After getting eco’d last round, their coach called a timeout. This round, they’ll probably make tactical adjustments targeting the loss from the previous round!”
“Here it comes! EG really have adjusted their tactics this round! They’re in a three-A, solo-B, one-VIP setup, but the CTs at A site aren’t playing the standard default. 2K and RUSH are double-pushed up inside A1, while autimatic is tucked in the dead corner!”
“This is bad! It feels like after that timeout, EG have read Li-shen’s attacking ideas. You like hitting A? Then I’ll double-push forward and swing back at you!”
Very soon, the round timer reached 1:20.
“Get ready to execute.”
Little Li turned and called to Meng Lang, who had already smoked B short, “Dark, throw a high flash over arch! Then come straight in through arch! We’ll receive you!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll watch Jungle and CT spawn for you. When you come in, watch Tetris and default first,” Niko, who was alone working A2, also said.
“No problem.” Meng Lang nodded again.
At this moment, among the three CTs at A1, the rifler Cousin was in front, Kid with the AWP was behind him, and Little Li was handling the execute himself.
Kid taking the second position with the AWP was mainly to guard against an AWP holding directly from CT spawn.
However, Little Li never expected that this round, the CTs had actually pushed into A main!
And there were two of them!
Wanjiqi’s voice had already grown tense.
“This is bad! Li-shen doesn’t have anything prepared against the package inside A main. Cousin dry-peeks straight forward. Although Kid can trade behind him, Kid is holding an AWP—can he really trade this?”
“Cousin is critical right now! He has to clear the spot! And at the very least, he has to take one CT inside A main before the teammates behind him can get in!”
The next second,
Wanjiqi’s voice suddenly rose!
“Did he clear it?!”
“He did!”
“But wait! Cousin didn’t win the duel! He swings out and gets instantly deleted!”
“Kid! Kid whiffs the AWP shot! At this position, the AWP can’t trade at all! He immediately pulls out his knife and retreats!”
“2K and RUSH want to chase! But Li-shen steps up! Li-shen also gets killed by the double swing!”
“The CTs have already spotted the bomb at A1! They want to hunt him down! Kid throws a flash to save himself! Can old Ni from A2 come around and support? Looks like he can’t! autimatic in the dead corner directly throws a palace smoke and holds the smoke. Old Ni can’t push through it, he can only wait for the smoke to fade!”
“Then now only Dark in arch is left. But the CT AWPer who started in VIP has long since gone out through the dog hole and up CT ramp from CT spawn! CeRq is at ticket! His AWP is holding straight toward arch! It feels like Dark is completely pinned down and can’t move at all!”
“Cousin died too fast, and Li-shen didn’t have time to throw the Tetris smoke just now. Dark can’t get in at all in this wave! So what now? The T side loses two players right off the bat. This round feels difficult again!”
At this moment, at G2’s player seats.
Little Li also realized that his call had once again been blown apart, and he couldn’t help feeling a surge of frustration and discouragement!
It had to be said, for an in-game leader, the feeling of constantly having your movements guessed by the other side was extremely damaging to one’s mentality.
But right now, there was no time to think further.
Little Li switched to Niko’s POV and saw that A2 couldn’t get out, while Meng Lang at arch was also being held down by the AWP. He immediately said to Kid beside him:
“Rotate. There are too many people at A site, we can’t hit it! Niko and Dark both can’t get in!”
Kid had just been about to turn around and run off with the bomb.
The next second,
a “bang” rang out by their ears!
Immediately after,
a kill feed appeared in the upper-right corner of the screen.
[G2-Dark killed CeRq with a headshot using the AK47!]
At the same time, Meng Lang’s calm voice also sounded in G2’s team comms.
“I’m in.”
???
In what?
Little Li was stunned at once!
Then he was suddenly overjoyed!
Nice, bro!!!
Meanwhile, the corpse sent flying backward toward CT spawn was feeling very uncomfortable.
“What the fuck!!!!”
CeRq froze for a second, then couldn’t help cursing angrily and slamming his mouse!
He had been holding arch directly from CT spawn with the AWP. Since the other side was executing A, he did have the expectation in his mind that someone might come from arch.
So he had been holding it very intently.
But what CeRq hadn’t expected was,
he only knew someone would come from arch,
but he never expected
that person would come so fast!
No shoulder peek!
No utility!
That ghost-like figure had almost slid out from arch in a wide swing, then seamlessly linked into a terrifying counter-strafe!
Fire!
Bang—!
CeRq had no time to react at all!
He was taken away by a single headshot!
Rifling down the AWP by hand!
Backstage, in Team A’s lounge.
Not long ago, they had just played three maps of scrims against G2. Team A’s main AWPer, Farlig, was also watching this match between G2 and EG.
The instant he saw this scene, his breathing suddenly hitched. Then he shrieked in a sharp voice:
“Yes! That’s it! That’s exactly it!”
“Look! That’s that wide swing! Fuck! How am I supposed to hold against that?”
At this very moment,
Farlig, who in the last scrim had been repeatedly rifled down by Meng Lang until both his aim and mentality became somewhat warped, looked at CeRq on the broadcast camera, his face first filled with disbelief before he angrily smashed his mouse.
Suddenly, a gloating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he thought with no lack of malice:
Getting your mentality shattered by being rifled down while holding an AWP?
I can’t be the only unlucky bastard that happens to!
In the game, the match was still continuing!
In the 6657 livestream room, Wanjiqi’s voice suddenly rose. “What? Dark rifled down CeRq’s AWP at arch! But autimatic in the dead corner has already realized arch has been broken through! He swings out and wants to retake!”
[G2-Dark killed EG-autimatic with a headshot using the AK47!]
“Dark! Whoa—! Dark peeks out from Tetris while controlling his position! He directly one-taps the CT in the dead corner!”
“Terrifying aim!”
“Such a fast shot!”
At EG’s player seats.
autimatic, who had just swung out only to be headshotted by the AK, froze for a second!
What?!
Is this guy’s AK that good?
With no time to think further, he hurriedly gave info to 2K over at A1, who was thinking of hunting Kid down. “Arch! He’s in from arch! Be careful!”
This round, 2K had accidentally read Little Li’s call correctly, first hiding in A main to kill Cousin, then double-swinging to take down Little Li. Right now, he was having quite a lot of fun chasing kills.
He hadn’t expected that when he turned back,
he’d discover all his teammates on A site were gone!
Fuck!
What the hell are you guys doing?
It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen him back on EG. That guy switched to rifler, and his AK was dogshit. He can kill all of you?
Just how fucking trash are you?
2K cursed inwardly, no longer caring about chasing the bomb carrier, and quickly called RUSH to turn back with him and clear A site.
They thought that after Meng Lang killed the CT in the dead corner, he would definitely hold a gun angle and coordinate with the T in A2 to crossfire A main. 2K was even thinking about throwing a flash to clear back in.
Unexpectedly, the next second!
Heavy footsteps abruptly sounded in their ears!
For some reason, it gave off a sense of pressure!
After killing the player on site, Meng Lang immediately pulled out his knife and jumped down from Tetris. Facing under palace, he moved diagonally with loud footsteps toward A main!
The entire time, he kept himself hidden from A main’s line of sight, displaying extremely strong positional control.
There was no helping it. A main and A1 were simply too damn familiar to Meng Lang!
In that cyber prison of infinite regression, after dying who knew how many times, his “spawn point” had been at A main. He knew it even better than his own home!
Pulling out his knife and reaching the close angle,
Meng Lang didn’t hesitate at all. Having basically locked onto the opponents’ positions, he suddenly made a super wide swing out!
“Da-da-da—!”
“Da-da-da—!”
Inside A main, 2K and RUSH were staggered, one in front and one behind, retaking!
Meng Lang swung out with the AK, taking the frontmost RUSH first!
The next instant,
just as 2K followed up to trade, he directly made a second adjustment, controlled his spray, and transferred!
[G2-Dark killed EG-RUSH with a headshot using the AK47!]
[G2-Dark killed EG-2K using the AK47!]
A tornado destroying a parking lot!
Meng Lang enters the site!
Four kills!
2K, who had died abruptly, shuddered all over!
He stared in utter astonishment at Meng Lang, who held the AK like a thunderous tyrant, his eyes filled with disbelief!
What the fuck...
What the hell is this thing?!
