CS: Demon King C, you said I was a genius?

Chapter 145: Killing Intent Perception! (Seeking monthly votes)

"13-5! G2 didn't let Liquid score a single point in the second half. They took the Bo3 match point first. Just one more win and they'll go straight to the winner's bracket finals!"

The player first offered his congratulations to G2 for their victory, and then offered his own opinion on the performance of both teams in Figure :
"Honestly, Liquid's performance was a bit beyond my expectations. If I had covered up the IDs of these five players, I would have thought they were a second- or third-tier team competing."

"The overall tactical execution was a bit too chaotic, totally inconsistent with Team Liquid's strength!"

[Indeed, Liquid's performance was too abstract. I think Xiaozhe won without even putting in any effort.]

[Where's Brother Pianzi's dynamic defense? Hurry up and bring it up!]

[Why do I feel like Brother Dianzi is a bit out of control?]

[G2's shotcalling was beyond my expectations. Is there such a thing as this?]

[Hot news: When Big Cousin left Faze, Niko replaced him as the commander.]

The player watching the live broadcast room was full of discussion, and then said: "But the next map is hard to say, after all, the ancient ruins is a strong map of liquid."

"Although G2 also plays this map, their recent win rate on this map is too low, so it's still a bit difficult to end the game 2-0 directly."

"I hope Liquid can adjust their condition as soon as possible and give us a wonderful game..."

---

After Liquid lost the first map, everyone had a meaningful expression on their face.

Some people are worried about the next game.

Some people were wondering why the director suddenly wanted to take charge and what his intention was.

As for the director himself, he was fiddling with his fingers with his head in a mess.

It's shameful, really shameful.

Ever since he was shot down from the water tower, during the short time he was on the ground, he felt that he was not landing on the concrete ground, but falling into an endless abyss.

At that time, he could clearly feel his heart skip a beat - if this video was edited out, how embarrassing it would be for him...

"Hey! Twistzz, we still have some time before Figure 2 starts, can we chat?" Brother Dianzi saw that this situation was not a solution, so he chose to take the initiative.

The director looked up at Brother Dianzi, then lowered his head again, obviously not wanting to communicate.

Seeing this, Brother Dianzi shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, curled his lips, and looked at coach Zews for help.

zews felt tired looking at the complicated relationships among the team members. He only thought about how to help the team win the game instead of being a babysitter!
However, in order to help the players regain their confidence, he had no choice but to go ahead. The first thing he had to deal with was the director, the most core person in the team.

As the director's mentor, if he had not promoted him, there would probably not have been a director who later speed-run the Intel Grand Slam.

So zews felt that he still had some face with the director.

So he leaned over to the director and whispered, "Didn't you get enough rest? Or are you in a bad mood?"

Seeing that the director still had no reaction and treated him as air, he felt inexplicably angry.

But he still said patiently: "It's the same as before. If there is anything, we can talk about it after the game. If you have any requests later, the club management and I will do our best to meet your needs."

The director turned to look at him and said in a calm and low voice, "What if I want to kick someone out? I can't perform at my best against him."

zews:?
He looked up and scanned the crowd, finally settling on Brother Dianzi. Then he lowered his head and said, "First, finish these few games well. I'll talk to the club later."

After hearing this, the director's expression improved a little.

Seeing this, Zews decided to make a last-ditch effort and clapped his hands, saying, "I know everyone is disappointed after losing the first map, but don't forget, the Ancient Ruins and Purgatory Town later on are maps we're good at."

"G2 is just a makeshift team, and we're not good at the Nuke map."

"So guys! Cheer up! Don't forget why we're here! For the championship!"

After zews' encouragement, the overall condition of the liquid gradually improved.

As long as you focus your energy on the game, the usual conflicts will be temporarily forgotten.

The halftime break ended quickly, and at the referee's notice, the ten players from both sides re-entered the competition server.

Figure 2: Ancient ruins

As Liquid's map pick, G2 chose to start on the defensive side.

As soon as the game started, Su Zhe clearly felt the changes in the Liquid team. As the attacking side, they completely lost the hesitation they had during the nuclear crisis.

When entering the pistol round, Liquid blocked the smoke of Donut and Ruins at the beginning, and then directly launched a wave of speed-up at the A bomb site.

Although this map is a CT map and the defense is fast, nexa, who is defending alone, gave it up without anyone catching it.

It was still difficult for G2 to return to defense, and the offensive smoke delayed their return time. In the end, G2 still lost the pistol round in the last-shot phase.

Then Niko chose pure E to quickly get through the economic round. When it came to the first spear round of this round, the score between the two sides had reached 0-2.

As the score fell behind, Nikos lost his playful smile as he did in the first picture and his expression became serious.

"Let's start with a 311 strategy this round. Arrow, you go control the enemy's entrance by yourself. If no one comes out, you retreat to the donuts to help Nexa."

"I think Liquid will still choose to attack both sides this round."

After completing the defensive instructions, the preparation time is over.

After Su Zhe bought a full-armor silenced M4 in the store, he walked towards the middle lane.

He originally wanted to control the middle lane for a while longer to gain the initiative from the defense, but his cousin in the small dark room was persuaded to retreat by the props, leaving the entire Company B out of control.

Seeing this, Su Zhe didn't dare to stay in the middle lane any longer and could only retreat to the donut. His retreat also caused G2's entire defensive formation to retreat to the back point.

However, Niko did not sit still and wait for death. He asked his cousin and the child to make a second-time black room defense package, hoping to deal with a wave of bandits who advanced rashly.

However, the liquid suddenly became unfamiliar, and after giving it a closer fire, it began to slowly advance into the dark room.

Due to the interference of the props, the child and cousin had no choice but to give up the control of the black room and retreat, but they did not take the initiative to clear the B slope, allowing Liquid to form a cross attack on the black room and the slope.

Fortunately, the child reacted quickly enough and pushed a defensive smoke on the B slope with his backhand.

He then used the silenced M4 in his hand to shoot down two people who tried to force their way into the smoke before being killed by NAF's hair dryer.

Niko, who was on the second line of defense, wanted to sneak out of the offensive smoke to help the kid, but his timing was a bit bad, and he was killed by NAF's plane again, getting a double kill.

The situation on the field became 3V3.

Seeing this, my cousin, who had retreated behind a cigarette early, did not dare to force the cigarette out, allowing the bandits to carry out the attack.

After waiting for Su Zhe and Nexa to return to defense, the three began to prepare how to deal with the endgame.

Su Zhe took a peek at Bao Dian's message and said, "Nexa, give the cigarette in your hand to the black room. We will attack the people on the slope first."

Nexa didn't have many ideas for the endgame, so he chose to execute.

After a smoke bomb blocked the gun line in the black room, Su Zhe immediately entered the bomb site with his teammates.

But the bandits had no intention of showing up, so they placed a lone C4 behind the pillar of the bomb site.

Su Zhe even looked all the way from the B slope to the B gate, but did not see any bandits.

"Cousin! Just take it down! I'll help you set up the gun!" Su Zhe made the decision immediately.

But the moment my cousin squatted down to unpack the package, the trajectory of bullets passing through the wall was heard from Company B and the small dark room at the same time.

His cousin was killed by someone who penetrated the wall. Su Zhe immediately reacted and counterattacked by penetrating the small dark room.

Finally, after a burst of bullets, he got the head of NAF in the black room.

However, in this situation, the bandits still had no intention of showing up, so they wanted to rely on their understanding of the bunker to go through the wall and guard it.

At this time, the smoke from the entrance of the black house had dissipated. Seeing this, Su Zhe asked Nexa to demolish it again, while he himself went around to the location of the black house.

When the sound of the bag dripping sounded again, he immediately rushed towards the dark room and saw the bandit with his side exposed walking through the smoke.

Su Zhe did not hesitate and immediately positioned himself and opened fire.

"Tetete~"

After getting the kill, Su Zhe immediately went to the bomb site to help. Fortunately, Nexa was quite tough. After taking several molecular bombs that penetrated the wall from Company B, he forcibly completed the unpacking mission.

“Nice!!!”

After a hard-fought point, G2's emotions were able to relax temporarily. However, in the following games, their defensive pressure did not decrease.

The Liquid team obviously has a deep understanding of the Ancient Ruins map. Whether it is the offensive rhythm, map control order or the defense against CT counter-clearing, they all seem to be at ease.

It is true that Su Zhe is good at this map, and he has created many famous scenes on this map.

But this is ultimately a team game, and G2's win rate on this map in the past three months is only 33%.

Liquid has had a 75% win rate on this map in the past three months.

Just looking at the win rate, you can see how big the gap in strength between the two sides is on this map.

The score began to widen little by little, and when it finally stopped at 2-5, Niko finally couldn't stand the pressure and called the first timeout in Figure .

After Su Zhe accidentally glanced at Niko's expression, he finally understood why he was always teased as a big shrimp by netizens.

It was obvious that Niko was under a lot of pressure. His entire face turned almost red, and he really looked like a boiled shrimp.

But even so, he never blamed his teammates for their poor performance. He just kept pounding the table and shouting "WTF!"

At this time, Niko was covering his face with his hands, trying to calm himself down, while Taz was massaging Niko's shoulders from behind and speaking encouraging words.

Su Zhe suggested, "I think we still need to strengthen our control over the middle lane. Otherwise, if Liquid takes control of the middle lane, we will be too passive."

As a CT map, the Ancient Ruins is not only because the CT has a fast defense return speed, but also because it is difficult for the bandits to transfer points.

If you want to move from point B to point A, you have to pass through the entire bandit’s house and Hall A.

But if the bandits were to gain control of Company B and the middle of A, they could easily transfer points through the donut or even the VIP.

When Su Zhe played this map in NIP before, he attached great importance to controlling the middle lane.

Niko had gradually regained his composure at this time. After hearing Su Zhe's suggestion, he said:

"The main reason is that we can't control B Company right now. Even if we do get control of the middle lane, we'll be easily killed by the enemy's high-level attacks."

"Is that so?" Su Zhe said after thinking for a while, "What if we let the people in the small black room cooperate and rush out together? As long as the people in the opposite black room are cleared, the middle lane can step on the platform to make up for the side."

"Hiss~" Niko hesitated. "What about point A? What if the opponent speeds up and attacks A?"

Su Zhe obviously couldn't hold back after hearing this. He wanted both!

There are only five people on the defending side, so they can only focus on one side. If there are ten people at the beginning, they can just use 5A5B.

But he also understands Nikola. After all, as a commander, he will inevitably think more.

So Su Zhe continued, "If the opponent attacks A, we can just gather in the middle lane and return to defense from the donut and VIP. Even if we don't control the middle lane and open 3B, it will be difficult for us two A to withstand the five-man bomb attack!"

"Hmm," Niko nodded after considering it for a moment, "Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll think of a solution next round."

Taz behind him said in surprise, "I didn't realize you have the talent for command, Arrow."

Su Zhe:
Isn't that because he was forced out by NIP?
The one-minute break passed quickly and the game continued.

Niko chose to follow Su Zhe's advice, but he was bolder than Su Zhe's advice and directly chose the defensive start in 3B2.

As for point A, Liquid didn't do much attacking there in the past few rounds. If they really attacked A, they could only blame their bad luck.

Niko also figured it out. The most important thing now is how to score points. Being restricted will only make the game worse.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe and nexa rushed to the middle lane together. One with smoke and the other with fire, they easily took control of the entire middle lane.

NIko and the child were also forced out of the dark room.

But just as he was about to step onto the platform and prepare to join his teammates in the Black Room to fight against the bandits coming out of Gate B, he heard the loud shout of his cousin Shan B through the headset:

"The other side is raising B! They've already given us one or two smokes!"

Just as he finished reporting the information and was waiting for his teammates to return to defense, a volley of bullets suddenly came through the smoke bomb and killed him.

"This wave of Kuang Ge is really fierce! He flashed into the bomb site by himself, and killed the huNter behind the smoke without any information-"

"But this wave of Liquid's attack was also disjointed! Only Kuang Ge and NAF rushed to the bomb site from Gate B!"

Seeing this, NIko immediately gave the order: "Go around them from slope B!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nexa's shout was heard again in the headset. Brother Dianzi took the initiative to take out the cigarette from the bandit's mouth and just caught Nexa's timing with his back to the basket.

Su Zhe, who had just stepped onto the middle platform, reacted instantly after hearing the sound of AK firing behind him.

He immediately turned 180 degrees and opened fire as soon as he saw the bandits coming out of the cigarette.

"Tetete~"

The one-for-one exchange was successfully completed in the middle, but Xiao Hei's return to defense after going out from the roof was not so smooth.

Niko first caught Kuang Ge from behind and killed him, but he didn't expect that NAF, the sixth brother, would hide directly in the groove of the pillar of the bomb site.

NIko thought that the opponent had already sneaked into the small dark room again, so he chose to let the small dark room retreat to double-team him, but he was caught by NAF and knocked down from the side.

At the beginning of a 3B2 wave, Liquid's offensive chain was broken and they were in a state of numerical disadvantage.

"Kid, hold the cigarette at door B. I'm going to look for someone at the B bakery."

After hearing the child's "OK", Su Zhe walked quietly from the small dark room to B Baodian.

When he arrived at the entrance of the black room, Su Zhe began to pre-aim step by step.

"There's no one hiding in the second groove. Is he at the baseline or a defensive position..."

After searching the obvious locations, Su Zhe came to the place where he needed to make a decision.

At this time, the smoke from Gate B had already dissipated, and he didn't dare ask the child to come back to help, for fear of missing the other party's timing to exit Gate B.

After a little hesitation, Su Zhe looked directly at the location of the B bun and swayed back and forth quickly, and then a series of bullets came towards him.

NAF was still in the groove.

After determining the opponent's position, Su Zhe did not give the opponent time to change position and chose to peek out with a pre-emptive shot.

NAF also wanted to take the initiative, but he still failed to grasp the rhythm of Su Zhe's peek.

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills NAF with a headshot using a silenced M4A1

"This kill is key! It directly kills the person the bandits wanted to cover their retreat!"

"But Liquid still has the advantage. In a 2v2 endgame, they still have plenty of time to attack any point they want!"

"Arrow chose to stay at B and let the kid guard A, but the director and skullz didn't move inside the B gate, just to give G2 the illusion that they were going to switch points and attack A."

"There are 30 seconds left on the round, and they're starting to move! Can Arrow hold both of them straight?"

At this time, Su Zhe had already picked up the AK dropped by NAF. After arriving at the pillar of the bomb site, he used the cover to expose half of his body and move diagonally to B.

Suddenly, when he saw the bandits coming out, he moved his crosshairs instantly and followed them.

"Da da da~"

Arrow kills Skullz with an AK-47

After catching the first head, Su Zhe immediately prepared to catch the second one. He believed that the opponent would not be so stupid as to act separately.

But after standing there for two or three seconds and seeing no one coming out to shoot again, Su Zhe immediately realized that something was wrong.

He quickly turned his head to look at the dark room beside him, and then saw the figure of a bandit squatting out.

Seeing this, Su Zhe did not deliberately locate the head, but chose to spray it like water, and the AK bullets in the magazine poured out instantly.

"Da da da da~"

Arrow kills Twistzz with a headshot from an AK-47

"Ah! Is this some kind of murderous perception? The Director quietly made his way to the dark room, but just as he was about to leave, he was discovered by Arrow."

"Why not turn around at this time? You're not even acting anymore, are you?!"
