CS: The Last Dance, a Dance That Leads to Professional Success

Chapter 102 A Bold Twist of the Rope Leads to a Lifelong Introversion

"Holy crap! You're a Flame Angel too?"

"What a ruthless three-shot USP single-target attack!"

"Does this fire have some kind of fire buff? How come it explodes with power as soon as I step on it?"

"I don't know if there's a buff or not, but I do know that if this attack misses, Dark will be burned to death, and Shrimp Bro will definitely be caught!"

"Indeed, if we had been a second too late in picking them, Brother Shrimp would have been gone."

"Hilarious! Whether G2 can break the 'pistol round curse' depends entirely on whether Dark's USP can get kills."

"Wow, this is truly a new concept of 'God of Responsibility'!"

"Don't rush for special offers when things are going well, hold the flag when things are going badly, and step on the fire when things are desperate!"

"."

The live stream chat room 6657 was flooded with comments, with various memes and exclamations almost drowning out the screen.

At the same time, the commentator on the commentary booth couldn't contain his excitement either, and his voice rose again: "Holy crap! Dark's performance in this arena today is absolutely phenomenal! A quadra kill from a high point in the first half, and a triple kill from fire in the second half! Dark's USP is really outrageous right now!!"

At this point, Wanji paused, then continued in amazement, "To be honest, I used to think his dual-gun sweeping was terrifying, but that was mostly close-range face-to-face combat, relying on reaction and recoil control. I never expected that through playing and practicing in matches, he would also master USP burst firing!"

"And this was his first match in a high-pressure offline venue! He wasn't nervous at all, and in fact, he seemed to be getting better and better, with his aura getting stronger and stronger! Look, Li Shen is grinning from ear to ear off the court!"

The atmosphere at the G2 match venue was electric.

Leonardo DiCaprio was indeed overjoyed; his usually calm face was now beaming with an irrepressible smile.

Originally, bringing in a newcomer with no major tournament experience for their first Major, even a studio tournament, would mean facing immense pressure from top-tier teams.

Being able to maintain a stable mindset and not hold others back is already a rare skill!
And when they break out of the closed studio and come to the offline venue under the spotlight and with thousands of people cheering, they can still perform steadily, and even get hotter and hotter, and step up to carry the whole team at the critical moment!

That's an extremely rare card!

Unfortunately, G2 managed to draw both of these extremely rare and valuable cards.

This is the genius young man from the East, CN, right before my eyes!
In the studio,
He launched a powerful attack against strong teams!
In this loud and boisterous arena, he was like a fish in water, getting more and more excited as he played, as if he was born to belong to this stage surrounded by spotlights and cheers!
Previously, G2's matches had been caught in a strange cycle of "god-like and demon-like" performances. DiCaprio had always felt that his academic-style coaching seemed to be missing something crucial.

Only today, only at this moment, has he finally seen the light.

What he needs is ultimate "muscle"!
It's not the kind of muscle that suddenly "softens" or fluctuates in condition at crucial moments.

Rather, it's muscles that are strong, powerful, and absolutely reliable from the start to the end of the match!
So, what kind of chemical reaction will occur when his academic style is paired with Dark's terrifyingly muscular style?
This will create a terrifying sports school faction!
Thinking about this, Little Li's eyes grew brighter and brighter!
It felt as if a completely new, more aggressive command system was taking shape in my mind.

At the same time, Old Ni excitedly turned around, bumped fists with Meng Lang, and shouted, "Nice brother! That was fucking great!"

He had just been peeking at the A bomb site from the position of three people in the donut, his health already almost depleted, all to create even the slightest space for Meng Lang to break through from the CT spawn.

I didn't expect to kill many people.

Therefore, when Old Ni saw the deadly incendiary bomb ignite a raging fire in the police station's passageway, his heart sank!
His health was too low; if Meng Lang was forced back by the fire, he would miss his chance.

He would be instantly arrested by the enemy's crossfire in the next second.

But to everyone's surprise, Meng Lang showed no fear whatsoever. His ruthlessness was even more intense than flames as he stepped out of the fire, the USP appearing as if it were a death knell!
Three precise shots to remove the head.

The buns were emptied instantly!
Powerful and reliable!
This is what a truly strong and reliable teammate is like!
They are partners you can trust with your back!
So the question is, who doesn't seem so "reliable" today?

With a mischievous smile, Old Ni turned to look at the kid who had been "erratic" in the first half of the pistol round, getting headshot with a single shot, and deliberately raised an eyebrow.

The child suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and chuckled foolishly!
With the game going so smoothly, he wasn't so depressed anymore.

Across the stage, the atmosphere at Green Dragon had plummeted to freezing point.

After losing this crucial pistol round, Da Chao's face was already very grim.

This pistol round tactic for the T side can be described as his meticulously designed masterpiece.

At the start, the five players grouped up to press the B gate, creating noise to harass the B ramp, then jumped and threw a smoke grenade at the middle gate, and then threw a decoy grenade in the direction of the donut!
In the blink of an eye, a feint attack was launched against both Area B and the Donut point!

But at this moment, he unexpectedly led a team of five to attack the VIP area in a train-like formation, using their own smoke bombs as cover!

The CT's defensive formation was successfully disrupted in the early stages by his series of feints, and this combination of attacks should have been accurate every time.

So, where exactly did things go wrong?
Da Chao remembered, it was that damned cigarette-touching timing.

He spent half a day setting up smoke bombs, but didn't see a single person.

He only turned his head to look because of the footsteps and gunshots coming from the middle door. In that fraction of a second of lapse in attention, a person emerged from the smoke like a ghost and shot him to his death.

This damn timing made Teacher Da Chao, who was inwardly humming and feeling that his tactics were ingenious, suddenly find himself breathing unevenly and feeling a tightness in his chest.

At this point, the score was 13-3.

Although they lost the pistol round, Green Dragons managed to plant the bomb successfully in the previous round thanks to DaChao's tactics, accumulating some economy. Therefore, they still have the resources to force buy in this round, and might even be able to buy a few rounds of "Curry" for fun.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio's academic coaching style may not be so evident when he is on the offensive.

However, once they were on the CT side, which they were good at, their solid and meticulous "smart default" deployment immediately made G2's defense a rock-solid wall.

DaChao tried a fake B-to-real A tactic, but he only managed to plant one bomb before G2 quickly rotated back and wiped him out at the A bomb site.

The score was now 14-3.

After this point, the Green Dragons' economy can barely sustain itself for one and a half rounds.

But everyone understands that if they fail in this half-round, the opponent will have match point, and their team will be completely out of money for the next point. It's practically a death sentence.

After a moment of silence, Coach Da Chao finally made a difficult decision: play a pure E game and give up this match point.

They staked all their economic resources and desire for victory on the next long round, making a final desperate attempt.

This game, which was purely E-rank, obviously failed to create any miracles.

Even the two players, Old Ni who was pressing in front of the dark room and Little Li who was holding the gun at the middle door, used a simple 90-degree crossfire to instantly arrest the four Green Dragon players who were slowly emerging from the terrorist spawn point after harassing point A at the start of the game! This caused a wave of comments.

Teacher Da Chao, being the last to arrive, reacted quickly and managed to escape with the bomb bag.

He also wanted to stage a feint, sneaking around to area B to try and steal a bag.

Unexpectedly, Meng Lang seemed to have already seen through his intentions and was already lying in wait in Area B.

Da Chao was halfway through planting the bomb when Meng Lang suddenly appeared from the shadows and killed him with a single slash!

G2-Dark killed Spirit-Chopper with a knife!

The CT team has won.

The score is now 15-3!

G2 holds a total of 12 match points!
At the last moment, when he was stabbed to death while stealing a bag, Da Chao was so frightened that he trembled in his seat, his face turned red, and his breathing became extremely rapid and uneven.

He looks completely different from his teammates!
At this moment, the "super relaxed feeling" he showed in the pre-match vlog had completely disappeared, and even the optimism he showed in the adversity of the first half had vanished, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness and anxiety.

Da Chao called an emergency timeout, his head down, almost burying his face in the notebook filled with tactics, his fingers flying across the pages as if trying to extract the last tactic that could create a miracle.

At this moment, in the Green Dragons' game area.

After being crushed by their opponents and taking the match point by such a large margin, everyone was sullen and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

S1ren, a new player from the CIS, saw that the team's morale had plummeted. After hesitating for a while, he felt that he had to do something to boost morale.

He struggled internally for a long time, finally mustering his courage, and trying to "twist the rope" by adopting the style of the older members of the team, using what he thought was a relaxed and optimistic tone:

"Guys, why do you all look so unhappy?"

The words fell,

The air inside the team seemed to freeze instantly.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads, looking at S1ren with complicated expressions.

And his incredibly glaring 3-14 record.

Coach Da Chao looked up from his tactics book, sighed deeply and helplessly, and said, "Kid, because of our performance... it was terrible. This game is completely out of control."

"But...but the game isn't over yet!"

S1ren forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "Everyone... everyone should smile. Maybe... maybe there's still a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Da Chao shook his head and said nothing more.

He glanced at the dazzling statistics of the player with the ID "Dark" on the other side, and then looked at the newcomer in front of him who had confidently thought "Dark is not that scary" at the beginning of the game but now had a dismal record. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He thought:
If you two could switch stats and performance, I don't know... I might actually be able to laugh.

After sorting out his chaotic thoughts, he forced himself to concentrate and began to devise a desperate tactic for the next, and possibly the last, long-range gunfight.

S1ren, who had finally mustered the courage to start twisting the rope, seemed to realize something belatedly after feeling the silent gazes of his teammates and the deathly silence in the atmosphere.

He glanced furtively at his dismal stats and, recalling his earlier "optimistic" remarks, felt so embarrassed he wanted to dig his toes into the ground and disappear. He was almost crying from embarrassment.

Okay, it seems he overlooked something before twisting the rope.
It must be said that the director at the competition venue was also a bit of a joke.

During the timeout, this "hellish joke" rope-twisting maneuver by a rookie player on the Green Dragons was precisely captured and broadcast by the director, with clear audio reaching the ears of all viewers through the live stream.

In the 6657 live stream room.

When I was playing the game, I almost burst out laughing when I got to the line "Why is everyone having so little fun?" I barely managed to hold it in.

The live stream chat exploded instantly:

"???"

"You dare ask? Look at your record, bro!"

"3-14 is the one who led the twisting of the rope, is this guy from the 'Optimistic Family'?"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This is some kind of hellish comedic effect!"

"Although... that young guy sensed the atmosphere was tense and wanted to stir things up, his intentions were good, weren't they..."

"The problem is that this record combined with those words is even more lethal than Dark's AK!"

"."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Even the machine player couldn't help but chuckle, patting his belly and laughing, "Holy crap! This kid is truly from the 'optimistic family'! Your 3-14 stat line, and the first thing you say is 'Why is everyone playing so unhappily?' This... this is something no one can be happy about! This is too optimistic, buddy!!"

He paused, slightly suppressing his laughter, and tried to be more objective: "However, to be fair, what s1ren said isn't inherently wrong. To turn the tide in a desperate situation, you have to get your emotions in check and not give up. The problem is... the person who said that has a really bad track record that's really demoralizing for their teammates, hahaha!"

"Alright, there's nothing to talk about here."

Playing with the machine, he changed the subject with a laugh and said, "Jokes aside, we still have to see how Green Dragon fares in this first, and possibly last, long-range rifle round of the second half."

"Let's see if they can pull out something truly amazing on this map. If they can do something and take this point, they might actually have a chance to keep the score close!"

At the same time, in the G2 match area.

In the second half, except for the pistol round, G2 players, who had been easily scoring points thanks to Xiao Li's solid command, were in high spirits.

Just before the first rifle round of the second half was about to begin, Meng Lang glanced at his spawn point, then suddenly turned to the commander, Xiao Li, and said:
"Li Shen! I have an idea!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li was taken aback at first, but then, recalling the amazing effects of Meng Lang's previous "ideas," his eyes lit up again!

"Slurp it up!"
