Chapter 110 Somebody's Fatal Mistake!

In the third round, the outcome was crucial for them. However, because their weapons were all destroyed by NA's two heavy guns in the previous round, their economy was once again in a very awkward situation.

From the beginning, FaZe didn't expect that despite having such a large weapon advantage and avoiding A's weak side in the previous round, they still failed to achieve a tactical victory. The main reason was that they made some fatal mistakes.

Especially in the front position, the crucial AK given to the vehicle in the middle lane gave him an opportunity to kill. For the attacking side, this was the biggest mistake and the most important factor that led to the series of subsequent events.

Because if they didn't provide a long-range rifle to the mid laner immediately, it would be very difficult for Li Mo's team to find an opportunity with just a sniper rifle, especially when they were outnumbered or even at a disadvantage.

With a numerical advantage, FaZe's tactics don't have to be so rigid about forcing their way to a point in the middle. Instead, they can better utilize their numerical or weapon advantage by setting up their own rotation points.

However, after paying a huge price in manpower, they gained control of the mid lane and moved to the forward position to eliminate this key player in the mid lane. Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to make a rotation.

After the third round, it was clear that the attacking side had made a significant tactical adjustment. Although they had gained an advantage in the mid lane, overall, FaZe was still under considerable pressure.

What's even more critical is that their constant forward runs to the mid lane and map control have clearly been figured out by NA. So, it's very difficult to achieve results by repeatedly using the same tactic.

Especially since FaZe only had one long spear in this wave, if they wanted to go to the mid lane again, they would easily give away a kill to NA. So, their strategy of having two people go to B tunnel and the others stay in the mid lane was undoubtedly aimed at gaining control of B tunnel as soon as possible and seeing if they could rush it.

However, upon reaching the B tunnel's outpost, FaZe didn't rush into an attack. After revealing some information, the defenders on the A side quickly used utility to create a barrier. Without firearms, and especially without utility, capturing the B tunnel corridor was incredibly difficult.

So, under these circumstances, they ultimately chose to send five people from B2 to B5. Judging from their strategic adjustment, it's clear that after much hesitation, Feizi still wanted to make a breakthrough from the middle lane.

They were well aware of the current situation; attempting to attack through B tunnel was clearly unrealistic, as NA had immediately blocked their attack with utility. From FaZe's perspective, their strategy had likely been anticipated. Given that their tactic had been discovered, FaZe was unlikely to force an attack through B tunnel.

Because rushing B is a high-risk tactic, FaZe, realizing they couldn't accelerate the pace, opted for a decisive five-man push down the mid lane.

In fact, looking at NA's positioning, it will be very difficult for FaZe to break through either B or the middle lane, because NA's current positioning is clearly very targeted.

Na had two players stationed at B tunnel, while the other three were positioned at A main. Judging from Na's defensive positioning, they had clearly made ample preparations. In their view, there were relatively few points available for attack; if they didn't rush B tunnel, their best option was a mid-lane pincer attack.

Furthermore, just to be on the safe side, Li Mo's team was also prepared for the other side to spend a lot of time and energy to switch to A tunnel. Therefore, under such circumstances, it was futile for FaZe, who did not have any guns, to try to find any tactics in the face of Na's defensive positioning.

With this wave of utility, FaZe finally got the breakthrough they wanted in the middle lane. Na's choice was actually very wise from beginning to end. They didn't deploy any personnel in the middle lane because if they wanted to break through in this round, they would have to pay a heavy price in utility at the B gate if they tried to flank B from the middle.

At this point, it would be unwise for NA to choose to go to the mid lane and confront FaZe head-on.

First of all, FaZe's tactical choices throughout the game were quite deceptive. For a long period, until about 20 seconds remained in the game, they did not speed up their pace. Instead, they focused on controlling the map and constantly trying to rotate points. Therefore, under such circumstances, if Na chose to defend the mid lane, they would not gain much benefit.

In addition, if the opposing team is determined to break through the B gate, they will have to use a lot of items. At this time, the combat distance between the two sides in the middle lane will be greatly reduced. In this situation, the short gun in the opponent's hand can play a better role.

Therefore, NA ultimately chose not to keep anyone in the mid lane, because they didn't want to give FaZe the opportunity to engage in close-range gunfights.

Ultimately, under duress, due to time constraints and limited options, the five members of FaZe decided to attempt to breach point B.

However, having already used up almost all their utility while pushing through the mid-lane point, they were now severely stretched thin trying to break through to point B. During an attempt to close the gap, the M4s on the FZ team effectively eliminated any possibility of a comeback. They easily eliminated three opponents at the B point's dog hole, and after their teammates flanked them, all five members of FZ were killed without managing to secure any kills.

In fact, this outcome was expected by both sides. It was clear that FaZe had many ideas and was constantly making tactical adjustments. However, due to their significant disadvantage in firearms and limited utility, trying to make many attempts in this match would come at a high cost, and the possibility of turning the tide was very small.

After losing another round, the score is now 3-1, with NA gaining a lead as the defending side, which is obviously not something they can easily accept.

The only saving grace is that in the next round, FaZe's team was able to achieve a unified state for all five players. In such a long rifle round, FaZe can then execute many of his tactical plans.

In fact, from the perspective of Li Mo Na's four-person team, FaZe is undoubtedly the strongest opponent they are facing right now. On the one hand, it is obvious that the opposing coaching team and tactical analyst have done a very good job of analyzing their team. This can be seen from the fact that the opposing team is constantly making tactical and rotation adjustments during the game.

Besides their thorough research on their own side, the individual players on FaZe's side are also undoubtedly strong. In their previous match, especially the round with the long gun, it was unexpected that they were turned around. They had gained a significant advantage at the beginning, but due to carelessness and negligence, they squandered the good situation they had in their grasp.

In this rifle round, FaZe opted for a sniper rifle. This suggests that FaZe didn't want to be too passive in terms of map control, because they had a lot of concerns about Li Moqi Dao Da Jushi before. With the sniper rifle, any attempts they made might come at a high cost.

So, after entering this round, Li Mo was able to deduce from the opponent's economy that the opponent might be vying for control of the map with their sniper rifle, because the sniper rifle has a very strong potential to perform well on this very open map.

Therefore, Li Mo believed that the other side would definitely not waste such an opportunity to have a head-on confrontation with him, because after the two snipers collided and killed the other sniper, it meant that his side would actually have a good advantage in the game.

Both sides immediately focused on the A gate, clearly assuming the other was also there and attempting to attack. This meant both players had anticipated each other's positions, leading to a gunfight.

"Don't flash."

Li Mo said in the voice message.

Neither side deployed any equipment, clearly not wanting to reveal any information at A site. Once that information was exposed, it would be impossible for the sniper to continue its direct-fire strategy. Therefore, this sniper attack at A site would significantly impact the round. After some probing and feinting by both snipers, Li Mo's team successfully eliminated the opposing sniper.

For the defending side, eliminating the opponent in the early stages clearly gives them a significant advantage.

If the sniper rifle lands at A site, the attacking team loses control of A site, meaning they can only look for opportunities from the middle or B site.

So, even after their sniper was killed, the attacking team still chose to break through the middle lane. In their view, with the sniper, especially after creating a kill at the front of A site, it was clear that they could no longer contest A site. As for B site, they had previously suffered a strong counter-clearing by A site using utility.

Therefore, FaZe chose to rush point B from the middle after breaking through to the middle. This was anticipated by NA, because NA actually had three players at point B.

However, Somebody made a big mistake on Na's side. He chose to double-team Zero in the White Car position. This double-team meant that if the opponent gave San a fire, he would be forced out of his position. In fact, the opponent only needed one fire to get the kill on him.

Faze clearly wouldn't give somebody any chance with such a reckless stance.

After a clash, somebody was forced out by the fire and was immediately killed by the opponent. On the other side, Zero, who was paired with him, was also killed after facing the opponent's first line of fire. After this exchange, NA's heavily defended B point fell instantly, which means that they are now in a huge disadvantageous situation of two against four.
