Stream room 6657.
Wan Jiqi looked at Vitality's post-plant defensive setup!
His speaking speed instantly spiked again:
"We can see that, having learned their lesson from the last round on B site! This round, Vitality has opted for a 1-1-2 split formation!"
"dupreeh is on A Short, Misutaaa is on the AWP perch above ramp, and ZywOo and Magisk have both gone A Long! These angles form a perfect 'T' shape, with交叉火力 completely locking down A site!"
"Holy shit! How do you even retake this?!"
"Oh! G2 has opted to have huNter- move out from CT spawn through mid doors, taking the long way around to flank dupreeh from behind on A Short! Dark and Aleksib are retaking directly from CT spawn!"
"Aleksib threw an A Long blocking smoke to cut off sightlines, and a molotov onto blue car, but right now they still have ramp sandbags and the sniper perch... too many angles to clear! The CTs don't have that kind of time!"
"Is Dark about to throw a smoke here? Oh! He put away his utility! What!!! He dry-peeked right out!"
On the G2 bench.
At this moment, Aleksib was stunned by Meng Lang's movement. Before he could even speak, the frenzied roar of an AK was already thundering through the headphones!
"Ratatata—!"
Using the edge of the A Long smoke for cover, Meng Lang hit a massive wide swing with a counter-strafe stop, his muzzle already locked onto Misutaaa in the ramp sniper perch!
Misutaaa clearly hadn't expected such a decisive, no-utility dry peek. He was readying himself for a potential flashbang, and was caught completely off guard—mowed down by Meng Lang's spray!
【G2-Dark has killed Vitality-Misutaaa with AK-47!】
"My god! Another classic DarkPeek! Dark's no-utility dry peek is absolutely terrifying!"
Wan Jiqi's eyes went wide:
"I feel like Misutaaa was ready to turn away from a flash. He totally didn't expect Dark to just swing out and delete him!"
"Now it's a 3v3. G2 might actually have a chance again!"
However,
Before Wan Jiqi's voice even faded!
"Boom—!"
A deep AWP report rang out from A Long!
Aleksib, who had just cleared the sniper perch and was carefully pushing up ramp alongside Meng Lang,
was crouch-walking along the edge of ramp to watch for angles from A Short, but ZywOo on the other side of the A Long smoke penetrated the smoke with an incredible read, taking him down with one shot!
【Vitality-ZywOo has killed G2-Aleksib with AWP!】
"Ah! Aleksib! ZywOo! ZywOo smoked him with an AWP!" Wan Jiqi's voice cracked in shock, then he quickly recovered! "Oh! That's right! ZywOo knew there was an angle on A Short. The opponents might crouch-walk up ramp. He read Aleksib's movement! Just one shot through smoke to kill the IGL!"
"Wow! This guy! He's playing with wallhacks! He's too terrifying!"
The bullet chat in stream room 6657 was instantly flooded with "Wallhack!" and "???"!
Who would have thought—the instant ZywOo fired and exposed his position!
Without warning!
The AK in Meng Lang's hands roared again!
Without a moment's hesitation,
he directly traced the gunshot's direction through the wall behind the smoke, unleashing an impossible long-range spraydown!
In this instant!
The terrifying mid-to-long-range AK control Meng Lang had displayed days ago on Mirage, in supermarket against EG's CT spawn, was on display again!
The AK's recoil, which ordinary people could never hope to tame, seemed bound by an invisible force in Meng Lang's hands. The bullet trajectory almost condensed into a lethal laser, ruthlessly pouring into the other side of the smoke!
【G2-Dark has killed Vitality-ZywOo with AK-47!】
"My god! ZywOo! ZywOo was sprayed back through smoke by Dark!!"
"Magisk! Magisk is spraying too! But he was heavily damaged the moment he peeked! He has to hide! No! ZywOo is already dead! Magisk, how dare you trade sprays with Dark's AK?!"
As Wan Jiqi spoke, he suddenly remembered something!
"Wait! It's a 2v2 again! The key point now is dupreeh on A Short! He's about to get flanked by huNter-! If G2 wins this retake, with the commotion Dark made on A site, dupreeh probably won't check his six..."
"What! dupreeh checked! And he turned on huNter-!"
The observer cut the camera!
huNter-, who had been flanking up A Short, had just rounded the corner when he met dupreeh, who'd turned back!
Ratatata—!
The AK sprayed with pinpoint accuracy for a headshot, taking huNter- down instantly!
【Vitality-dupreeh has headshot G2-huNter- with AK-47!】
dupreeh also secured his third kill of the round!
In an instant, the situation reversed again. G2 was now in a 1v2!
Wan Jiqi's voice was almost a groan:
"Oh! dupreeh——! That's the experience of a veteran! It's over! Dark is out of time!"
"Now dupreeh and Magisk, this former Astralis dynasty duo, they're just waiting for the bomb tap! Not making a sound until they hear it!"
"How do you fight this! There's no way to fight this!"
The C4 countdown grew more and more urgent!
"Not much time left! Dark only has three bullets left in his AK! He doesn't even have time to reload! He popped another A Long smoke and started tapping the bomb!"
"What's Vitality going to do? Dark picked up NiKo's defuse kit rotating through CT spawn this round! At this timing, they can't gamble! They have to come out!"
Before his voice fell, on the Vitality side, dupreeh and Magisk quickly exchanged words.
Magisk spoke rapidly:
"I'm too low! I'll pop flash to bait him! We swing together!"
dupreeh nodded: "Okay!"
In the next instant!
Behind the A Long smoke,
Magisk threw a flashbang first!
Almost simultaneously,
dupreeh swung out wide from the A Short direction!
"Here it comes! Dark! Can you clutch it——!"
Wan Jiqi's heart leaped into his throat!
On A site, Meng Lang, who was tapping the bomb, suddenly jolted!
[Spider Sense] went into a frenzy of warnings!
He instantly stopped defusing, looked at the flashbang's trajectory from A Long, and with extreme reaction speed turned his back to dodge it!
Then he whipped his head back around, crosshair preemptively pointing at the A Long smoke!
Trigger pulled!
Bang—!
A single AK bullet blasted out!
However, no one exited the smoke immediately!
Baited!
The first shot Meng Lang instinctively fired missed!
Only two bullets left!
Everyone's hearts instantly tightened!
Was that it?
However, Meng Lang's crosshair didn't stall for an instant!
His wrist flicked horizontally at an impossible angle, the AK muzzle instantly swinging toward dupreeh, who had just swung out from A Short!
Second reposition!
"Bang——!"
A single tap!
The second bullet whistled out!
It drilled precisely into dupreeh's helmet!
【G2-Dark has headshot Vitality-dupreeh with AK-47!】
dupreeh fell on the spot!
He didn't even get a shot off!
The instant the kill was secured, Meng Lang's crosshair didn't wait for the recoil to reset, whipping back with impossible speed!
Third reposition!
The crosshair locked directly onto Magisk's head in the A Long smoke—the man who had rushed out through the smoke almost simultaneously with dupreeh!
"Bang!"
Muzzle flash bloomed!
The last bullet in the AK's chamber, trailing scorching fire, like an invitation from the Grim Reaper, accurately struck Magisk between the eyebrows!
Thud—!
Magisk had just fired one shot before falling on the spot!
【G2-Dark has headshot Vitality-Magisk with AK-47!】
In an instant!
Three repositions!
The Astralis duo both fell!
"OHHHHH——!!!!!"
Wan Jiqi let out a guttural, vocal-fry roar that could shred his vocal cords!
"Dark! You clutched it! You clutched all of it!"
"Shoot first, aim later! This play is absolutely freaking godlike! Dark first dodges the flash! Then holds the smoke angle and fires! Then seamlessly flicks for the second reposition to one-tap dupreeh on A Short! Then completes the third reposition within one second! Turns back and one-taps Magisk!"
"Three bullets! All fired!"
"Even better! He missed his first shot just to show off his margin for error!"
"Ohhh—! That was a world-class flick sequence! This is the merciless aiming judgment of a new-gen rifle prodigy upon the old-guard riflers!"
In the match, Meng Lang was already crouching down to defuse the bomb!
"Is there enough time?"
"Time! More than enough!!!"
【CTs Win!】
The victory announcement flashed across the big screen.
At this moment, the broadcast camera cut to dupreeh in the Vitality booth.
dupreeh stared blankly at his gray screen, the moment from just now playing back in his mind like lightning!
Perfect tactics!
A near-perfect synchronized double swing!
Yet they met terrifying, utterly unreasonable aim and one-taps!
He swung out,
and was one-tapped.
What else was there to say?
After who knows how long, dupreeh raised his hand to rub his nose. A relieved smile suddenly crossed his face, and he gently shook his head.
The bullet from a new era had ultimately pierced through the old captain's helm.
