Wan Jiqi’s voice had barely faded!
In G2’s voice comms,
Aleksib glanced over, saw everyone was in position, his eyes narrowing slightly, and spoke decisively:
“Execute!”
The next second,
Smokes bloomed top and bottom of CT spawn, completely sealing it off!
Coffin smoke!
Molotovs on triple box and double box!
Molotovs top and bottom of default box!
A high flash over CT spawn!
In the blink of an eye, G2’s barrage of utility exploded across the B site like a torrential downpour!
NAF, defending outside default box on B, immediately threw a smoke to cut off the push the instant the first CT smoke bloomed!
Then, Dual Berettas in hand, he stood ready.
The next second, the high flash over CT spawn.
NAF turned to avoid the flash. He spun back, ready to mow them down with his dualies, but four men burst out of the smoke.
“Can NAF get the spray with the dualies this round? He can’t! Oh—! He got shut down by the kid!”
Bang bang—!
NAF spammed his dualies wildly!
But two fists are no match for four hands!
The kid landed a single headshot!
[G2 m0NESY headshot TL NAF with a P250!]
“The kid deletes NAF right away—he simply couldn’t hold! That leaves only EliGE on B site, burned by the molotov and forced back into the corner to buy time!”
“Wait! NAF died so fast that EliGE never fired and gave himself away. He’s practically invisible right now!”
“Now the kid is starting the bomb plant! NiKo is holding Banana, and Dark picked up the dualies and slipped into the CT spawn smoke, looking for a chance to flank.”
“But there’s still someone on B site! EliGE is right there in the corner! He could swing out and hit the kid in the side right now—wait! Is G2 not clearing angles?”
“I get it! EliGE’s teammate died without firing, so G2 probably thinks the last player on B retreated behind the coffin smoke to wait for the retake. Wow! This feels like it’s setting up something big!”
“Oh! G2 is clearing! Aleksib seems to have realized something’s off! He and huNter are clearing triple box and the corner together—they’re going to defuse this setup!”
At this moment, Aleksib hadn’t actually detected someone in the eerily quiet B site. It was just that NiKo was holding Banana, and Meng Lang had picked up the dualies to push into the CT smoke. While the kid was planting, Aleksib had watched the coffin smoke for a moment and saw no one, so he turned to do a thorough clear of the B site.
And this clear actually revealed someone!
EliGE heard the footsteps and prepared himself. He didn’t wait for Aleksib to swing the angle—that would be too passive. Pros always pre-aim head level when clearing corners.
Hearing the footsteps approach, EliGE wide-swung out of the corner. With his USP in hand, he flicked and fired a burst!
Followed by an instantaneous adjustment!
Bambambam—!
Bang—!
[EliGE killed G2-Aleksib with a USP!]
[EliGE headshot G2-huNter with a USP!]
Wan Jiqi was dumbfounded at the sight, blurting out, “Wait! Aleksib and huNter clearing the corner, and EliGE just bursts them both down!”
“Is this some kind of joke?”
“The kid turned back immediately, but EliGE ducked back into cover. Now the tables have turned! Team Liquid has a 4v3, and their retake has reached Church! Pincer attack—now Liquid has the advantage!”
“What the hell, G2? Is your pistol round curse going to continue? Can you really not win a single pistol round?”
By now, NiKo was getting anxious too!
He heard footsteps coming from Church and urgently told the exposed kid to stop dueling EliGE in the corner, or else the players pushing through smoke would shoot him in the back.
The kid listened and was about to leave.
Then he realized something was wrong. Wait—when he entered the site earlier, he’d killed someone and dropped dualies.
Didn’t Meng Lang pick up those dualies and push into smoke?
Where was he?
The thought had barely formed in his mind.
When the next second arrived!
The iconic, firecracker-like staccato of Dual Berettas!
Suddenly erupted from the CT spawn side of B site!
“Popopopop—!!!”
The observer camera instantly cut over!
The three Liquid players retaking from A through Church had intel from EliGE hiding in the corner!
The moment the smoke faded, all three wanted to shoot the kid in the back, their crosshairs swinging toward him.
But without warning,
From the near angle diagonally ahead, a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared!
Raising dual Berettas toward them!
In an instant!
Muzzle flashes erupted!
[G2 Dark headshot TL Shox with Dual Berettas!]
“Oh! Dark! He caught a perfect back angle! Shox is deleted instantly!”
Wan Jiqi exclaimed.
But Liquid’s reaction was lightning fast!
The remaining oSee and nitr0 flicked immediately!
“oSee and nitr0 have reacted! The distance is so close! Dark got the surprise opener, but can he trade another?”
“Wait! What?”
Wan Jiqi’s drawn-out voice cut off abruptly!
Under the observer camera,
The aim of the dual Berettas in Meng Lang’s hands swept violently, muzzle flames still spewing madly!
“Popopopop—!!!”
Bullets wove a precisely orchestrated death barrage, first ripping toward nitr0’s head, then instantly transferring onto oSee’s skull!
Blood burst in a spray!
Both men crumpled, nearly simultaneously!
[G2 Dark headshot TL nitr0 with Dual Berettas!]
[G2 Dark headshot TL oSee with Dual Berettas!]
The kill feed flashed across the top-right corner of the screen!
Swift as the wind!
Aggressive as fire!
Fast!
Simply too fast!
Everyone’s heard of a rifle spraydown, but who has ever heard of a dualies spraydown? How fast is this guy pulling the trigger?!
“My god—! That dualies spraydown! Stop, Dark! That’s not an AK—!!!”
Wan Jiqi’s voice, extraordinarily husky, carried undisguised awe:
“Monster hand speed! Monster recoil control! He actually pulled off a point-blank 1v3 spraydown with dualies! That’s honestly insane! He’s using the dualies like an AK! Liquid’s entire retake trio—he shut them all down single-handedly!”
“Liquid is stunned! They never expected a monster like this to emerge after the smoke cleared!”
Actually, Wan Jiqi wasn’t wrong.
Dual Berettas have poor accuracy, a low skill floor, and their only advantage is a high rate of fire.
Meng Lang himself wasn’t particularly skilled with dualies. He hadn’t mastered any running-and-gunning tricks like Yan Shuangying, nor was he very familiar with the mid-to-long range bullet trajectory of the dual Berettas.
But this time, he caught them at point-blank with a flank!
In that instant, as he madly pulled the trigger and dumped the dualies’ thirty rounds in a blinding storm, he truly had the illusion that he was using an AK!
Thirty rounds in the dualies!
Thirty rounds in the AK too!
It makes perfect sense!
However, at this moment,
The entire 6657 stream exploded. Bullet comments crashed over everything like a tsunami!
“???”
“What is this thing?”
“That fire rate! He must have broken the trigger!”
“And you’re telling me his right hand is still wrapped in bandages? Do those bandages give hand-speed buffs or something?”
“Auto-trigger confirmed!”
“Is this what seventeen-year-old hand speed looks like?”
“No cap, Dark’s hand speed this round is about the same as mine. So fast you can’t even see?”
“Bro, are you sure you didn’t clip through reality?”
“.”
In the corner, EliGE—who had heard his teammates’ footsteps and was preparing to swing out for a perfect crossfire—was utterly dumbfounded.
His teammates’ guns went off, and then… that was it?
Where were his three teammates?
Those three huge teammates?!
Weren’t they just saying “swing together, swing together”? How did they all die the instant he tried to move?!
In that split second of stunned hesitation!
Bang—!
The crisp report of a USP sounded from his flank!
NiKo, who had long since swung wide from default box and pre-aimed the corner, seized that fleeting opportunity!
[G2 NiKo headshot TL EliGE with a USP!]
The angle advantage of being closer and EliGE’s brief lapse in focus made NiKo’s shot look effortless.
EliGE didn’t even have time to react. Blood blossomed on his head, and his screen instantly went gray!
G2’s pistol round!
Secured!
“Oh—! Dark!!! He helped G2 break their pistol round curse at this Major!”
“13–3! Liquid has no money next round, and G2 is very close to match point!”
On G2’s side of the stage, the atmosphere was even more electric.
m0NESY let out a long breath and shouted excitedly, “Bro! Those dualies! Too nasty!”
Meng Lang chuckled.
“Got lucky, stole a flank.”
“Stole a flank? You mowed them down head-on!”
NiKo laughed and slapped Meng Lang hard on the shoulder, his face full of approval. “Bro! That was no luck! Beautiful!”
Coach XTQZZZ also pumped his fist hard in the back, his mood inevitably lifted.
Securing this crucial second-half pistol round, it was as if he could already see G2 with one foot in the 2-0 group!
On Liquid’s side of the stage,
There was only dead silence.
EliGE stared at the score on screen, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
All the meticulously designed tactics!
All the rallied morale!
Had been shattered to pieces
By that completely unreasonable, point-blank triple-kill spraydown with dual Berettas!
