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

Chapter 123 Advancement! This is a galactic battleship that soared into the sky and was sunk (two chapters combined, 1.4 words)

"Here it comes! The last point of the first half!"

"The score is currently 9-5. If FAZE can score one more point, they can push the score to a very mysterious point at halftime, which is our classic 6-9. Those who know, know."

"Before this round started, FAZE's coach called a timeout. Was there any explanation for that?"

Live stream room 6657
He was talking about playing with the machine with great interest.

Just then, he seemed to suddenly realize something, his voice filled with surprise.

"Huh? Ropz actually got a sniper rifle on the T side this round? A double sniper tactic? Could this be the ultimate move that the Galacticos were holding back until the last point of the first half?"

At this point, the countdown to the game ended.

Under the director's camera, Ropz and Broky, who were near the secret passage at their spawn point, jumped down into the passage together.

The next second, Broky calculated the time and, through the crack in the door, fired a shot that penetrated the center door.

This shot wasn't entirely a lottery; it was based on predicting the timing of the CT sniper's habitual movement through the middle gate. When the time came, Timing simply fired.

Whoosh—!
The sound of a sniper bullet piercing through a wooden door was sharp and piercing!
Amidst the flying sawdust...
A deadly sniper bullet pierced through the middle door, narrowly missing the child m0NESY.

He almost took it away.

The boy was startled and almost broke out in a cold sweat, but he reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that the shot from the other side had missed, he immediately and seamlessly leaned out, scoped in with his sniper rifle, and aimed directly at the gap in the middle door to seize the firing position.

The AWP is a bolt-action sniper rifle!

After firing a shot, the bolt must be pulled.

The brief interval after the opponent fired their shots was his chance to counter-position and regain control of the middle gate.

He used a sniper rifle with a straight mount.

If the other side dares to repeek again, then they'll have to ask if their AWP is fast enough!
However, the moment the child leaned out and opened the sniper scope, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Deep within the dark passage beyond the middle gate, the barrel of another sniper rifle appeared silently and unexpectedly in his field of vision!
what's the situation?
What kind of sniper fires a shot and then stays in place to hold the gun up?

The thought had barely crossed my mind!
The next second, the long-silent sniper rifle at the other end of the tunnel suddenly exploded with a loud bang!

boom--!
The second sniper bullet, almost seamlessly following the previous shot, swept across the middle and arrived in an instant, accurately piercing the head of the child m0NESY!
The child immediately collapsed!
A kill notification appeared on the screen!

FAZE-Ropz kills G2-m0NESY with an AWP.

"Oh! A deception followed by a strike! A classic double-sniper tactic!"

The player exclaimed in shock, "That shot! Ropz has mercilessly executed the kid!"

"That's the surprise attack of a double sniper! The kid thought he caught the enemy sniper off guard when he was firing and pulled the bolt, so he took the initiative to get the middle position. He thought he was going to be able to hold the enemy in one shot."

"But what he doesn't understand is that the sniper shot just now was Broccoli's test, a deception! A bait! Ropz had been lying in wait at the middle gate from the very beginning! That was the real killing move!"

Speaking of this, the person who plays with the machines couldn't help but sigh,
"This tactic, you might say, is simple, but in the crucial points of the semifinals of a world-class tournament, he actually dared to use it, and he actually executed it! That's confidence, that's execution!"

On the FAZE competition bench.

Seeing Ropz secure the crucial first kill in this pivotal game, the slightly somber atmosphere in the FAZE booth, which had been somewhat subdued due to their temporary deficit, vanished instantly.

"Nice Robin!"

Karrigan, the eldest cousin, was the first to shout in the voice chat, his voice full of excitement.

"What a gun!"

"Pretty!"

Several teammates cheered, boosting morale.

Hearing his teammates cheering, Ropz licked his dry lips, a long-lost, fiery excitement welling up inside him.

In today's BO3, the engines of the Galactic Battleship roared one after another.

The first picture shows the stage of director Twistzz, and the second picture shows Rain making a triumphant return.

In fact, Ropz's stats in both of these images are quite good, consistently ranking second in the team, but he's not the most outstanding one.

But today, on map 3, Sand 2, in the first half, the guy on the other side with the ID Dark put more pressure on them than on the previous two maps combined. This is truly a map that the other side is extremely skilled at.

he knows,
Figure 3,

It's his turn to step up!
If the situation continues to develop like this, they may really have to stop here and fall at the gates of the final.

That's definitely an outcome Ropz doesn't want and absolutely cannot accept.

Thinking back to that first defeat in the Legends Group, the battle between the two free agents, and my beloved 911...

Ropz took a deep breath!

This picture,
He has to take responsibility!

In the map Sands II, if the attacking team can get the first kill at the start, especially the kill on the enemy sniper, the command strategy will be greatly improved, and there will be many more attack routes to choose from.

It's like when G2 played against the Little Bees' Sand II.

Every time Meng Lang got the first kill on the offensive side, Xiao Li's tactics worked flawlessly, flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

Karrigan quickly devised a "fake A, real B" tactic in his mind!

In the 6657 live stream, the streamer "Playing with Machines" analyzed FAZE's movements, saying, "If they get this first kill, this round seems pretty easy for FAZE. They have control of the mid lane. What do you think? Should they rush out of A site? Although G2's Old Ni has already come from the mid lane to reinforce outside A site, Biao is still close to A site. What should FAZE choose in this situation?"

At this moment, Rain and Big Brother from FAZE had already quietly sneaked into A gate, while Ropz was responsible for covering the rear in the secret passage and guarding the middle lane.

Once everyone was in position, Twistzz, the director in charge of props support, immediately started detonating the bombs.

A smoke bomb exploded precisely at A-level!

Immediately afterwards, two A-grade all-white flashbangs exploded in mid-air!
"Oh! FAZE has started bombing A site! They've been using plenty of smoke and flashbangs! But my cousin's position isn't actually inside A site; he's positioned near the blue box close to the A door! That's a really tricky spot!"

"So, how many of these can my cousin handle? Can he hold on?"

"Wait! What?"

While playing with the machine, he suddenly froze in shock!
On FAZE's side, after the director finished detonating the bombs, Karrigan, the older brother in A door, didn't rush to rush out with Rain God.

The older cousin raised his hand, pulled out a Molotov cocktail, and threw it towards the blue box!

A door near the blue box fire!

As soon as the flames spread, turning the space behind the blue box into a death zone, Rain, who was already prepared, began shooting directly through the blue box without warning, AK in hand!
Bullets rained down on the area covered in flames!

Next to the blue box, my cousin immediately set up his gun the moment he saw the bomb, preparing to meet the impact.

Unexpectedly, what came out first was not a person, nor a blinding flashbang, but a deadly fireball!
Immediately afterwards, countless bullets pierced through the wooden door!

In addition, the continuous damage from the flames burned him to the core, leaving him covered in wounds and his health instantly evaporated!
Soon, a kill notification appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.

[FAZE-rain kills G2-huNter- with an AK-47]

"Fake!"

My cousin was a little annoyed and slammed his hand on the table in frustration.

This way of dying is so humiliating.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wanjiji laughed and exclaimed, "That's the maturity and experience of a veteran! This item coordination was spot-on, so solid! My cousin got burned first, then pierced by bullets; he's probably numb and can't fight back at all. So what's next? Is FAZE going to speed things up and attack A? But G2's defensive rotation speed is really fast!"

My cousin lost a player at A site, and the remaining three players from G2 immediately began to rotate back to defend.

Little Li stealthily made his way towards the police station from A-path, attempting to cover their escape route; Meng Lang (Dark) peered out from the elevator below Platform A; while Old Ni crouched behind a box on Platform A, ready to provide support at any moment.

At this moment, the smoke from the partition at A site had not yet dissipated. After taking the close point at A site, FAZE remained inactive. G2 was also unable to accurately judge the opponent's true intentions and the positions of their main forces, so they could only passively spread out their positions and wait and see.

"This is the helplessness of losing players at the start of the game."

The player couldn't help but shake his head and analyze, "With one less person, many key positions cannot be heavily defended, and can only be lightly defended. As a result, the defensive line is easily breached, and once a gap is opened, it will trigger a chain reaction. Facing the T's offensive, the CT side is extremely short of defenders and can only choose to gamble on points to defend first."

"What did my cousin say? Are they going to transfer points? Or are they going to make it real and play A?"

As soon as the machine was mentioned, after taking control of A, FAZE did not launch a full-scale attack on the A platform. Instead, they sent Broky into the A pit to keep the enemy at bay and observe.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them—Big Brother, Rain God, and Director—began to quietly reverse their car and leave Area A!
At this point, there are about 40 seconds left in the game, and there is plenty of time to switch to point B!
My cousin's thinking is very clear.

The opposing team has now been moved back to defend area A. If they force an attack on A, they might be able to take it down with their gun skills, but they will definitely pay a heavy price, especially since that guy with the ID Dark is still alive and could create a miracle at any time.

However, if we switch to attacking site B, the opponent's site B is likely currently undefended, which could further disrupt their defensive formation.

Most importantly, while the CTs were all defending A site, Ropz silently pushed forward from the middle lane and successfully reached the X box near the middle door.

If they rotate to B, Ropz can perfectly cut off the CTs returning from A to defend B in the middle lane, creating a fatal trap.

Moreover, this tactic of "fake attack on A, real attack on B" was the core idea that Big Brother had determined after getting the first kill in this round.

It was only because he accidentally took down the opposing team's main defender during his fake attack on A that he hesitated for a moment about whether to make the fake attack real.

But after careful consideration, he felt that switching to B was still a better and safer option.

"Oh, FAZE still chose to switch points, very decisive! Now only Broccoli in the pit is left to hold back A University."

"What about G2? Can their commander, Little Li, realize this? Can he see through this older brother's tactical tricks?"

"Wait! Li Shen seems to have deciphered this instruction! He's already had Old Ni from Platform A move towards B1 from the A side path! This FAZE rotation is from the terrorist spawn point, so Old Ni is essentially taking a shortcut. Theoretically, he should be able to intercept the terrorist rotating to the bomb site near the spiral staircase on B1, but..."

He said "but" while playing with the machine.

At almost the same time,

The director's camera also focused on the middle lane, where Ropz was quietly crouching on the X box, perfectly blocking the A short route back to defend.

Looking at that motionless figure, seemingly integrated with the map, almost every viewer familiar with Ropz's playstyle had one word come to mind.

Sunlight!

"This Ropz is playing like he's in the sun."

Playing with the machine, I couldn't help but laugh. "He's practically the embodiment of a 'sunny boy.' What about Old Ni's next move? Will he search for the classic 'sunny spot' of the X box? I feel that with Old Ni's experience and vigilance, he'll definitely take a look subconsciously when he passes by here."

This is true.

Despite the heavy workload and tight schedule of this counter-attack mission, NiKo didn't actually have much time to thoroughly search every point.

But being cautious and experienced by nature, after running to A alley with his knife, he still cautiously switched to his AK and then moved forward quietly like a skilled robot vacuum cleaner, carefully searching every corner where someone might be hiding.

The groove in the A-channel is fine.

The middle lane is closer, no problem.

There was no one at the Zhongyuan L position.
Old Ni was carefully searching the area, and it looked like his gun was about to be pointed at the deadly X-box...

But just then, Ropz, who was squatting on the X box, suddenly stood up!
Upon seeing the weapon in his hand, the audience erupted in disbelief and laughter!
Because what Ropz was holding at this moment was not the AWP sniper rifle he had at the start of the game, but a... stun gun.
Old Ni was concentrating on searching for points when a figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision. His heart tightened and he was about to pull the trigger when a blue electric current "sizzled" and traveled through his body at an even faster speed!

Old Ni froze instantly, and his character convulsed and collapsed to the ground!
FAZE-Ropz killed G2-NiKo with a stun gun.

The director's camera immediately zoomed in on NiKo.

It's said that the more serious a person is, the more exaggerated their reaction to being startled will be.

If Old Ni hadn't searched the area so carefully this time, Ropz's stun gun would have only given him a slight scare.

But because he was so focused, this sudden "surprise" startled Old Ni so much that he almost jumped out of his seat!
After realizing what had happened, he looked at his gray screen and the kill notification, leaned back in his chair, and rolled his eyes at the ceiling!
My facial expressions are completely out of control!

"FK YOU, Robin!"

In live stream room 6657, the chat exploded instantly:

"Hahahaha! Ropz got some sunshine this time!"

"Old Ni's reaction is hilarious, another meme for him!"

"Top 10 Meme Contributor of the Year! No wonder he's our beloved Shrimp Bro!"

"Shrimp Bro: I'm searching for points so diligently, and you're playing this game with me?"

"."

Playing with the machine, he patted his belly and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! Old Ni's reaction was classic! Ropz is really playing it 'sunny'! This stun gun is a psychological attack, killing him by striking at his heart!"

"But to be honest, Ropz played a really big role in this game. First, he used the double sniper strategy to kill a main sniper at the start, and now he has ambushed and killed a key terrorist who was intercepting the bomb during the retake. He got high-quality kills."

At this point, Wanji paused, his tone turning serious: "So, Old Ni's retake was intercepted by Ropz, and the plan has completely failed. Now, Big Brother, Rain God, and Director have the C4 and are moving unimpeded into the B bomb site from the back garden. All that's left for Dark and Li Shen is a desperate 2v5 situation."

"Oh! Li Shen still wants to try? That makes sense. After all, it's the last point of the first half, and there's no need to save the gun anymore. He has to try no matter what."

"But I feel like FAZE won't give us any chances. In this last point, they don't even need to move. They just have five people crouching inside and outside the bomb site, forming crossfire, just waiting for you to come and deliver the kill."

Accompanied by the sound of playing with the machine,

Under the director's camera, Meng Lang chose to take the A-path route to B1 to defend, while Xiao Lizi went from the police spawn, across the sand, and made a final attempt towards point B.

G2 team is chatting via voice.

Li Zi's tone was almost one of giving up; he simply said to Meng Lang, "Just give it a try, Meng, don't push yourself too hard."

However, his mission ended in failure.

He had just stepped onto the sandy ground, and was fully focused on guarding against the B tunnel dog hole and B door ahead, when he was instantly sniped by a cold shot from behind, from the direction of the police spawn point!

FAZE-Broky uses an AWP to kill G2-Aleksib

"Oh! It's Broky from A site! After seeing his teammates successfully plant the bomb in B site, he boldly sneaked into the CT spawn, climbed over the wall, and killed Li Shen with a single shot! What timing and guts!"

Speaking of playing with machines, I can't help but shake my head in admiration.

"FAZE's teamwork is amazing, their teamwork is off the charts! This is the galactic battleship at its peak in 22! Basically, as soon as a teammate in one position makes a move, the teammate in other positions will immediately provide support and response."

"Whether it's Ropz's rearguard action and sneak attacks earlier, or Broky's bold forward push now, they both demonstrate this point to the fullest. You'll feel like you're not fighting five individual players, but rather a precisely functioning whole, a monster with five brains!"

"Now G2 only has Dark left, who came from A short. FAZE is playing extremely cautiously, with the four of them forming a perfect crossfire position inside and outside B site, without revealing any of their positions."

"And what's even more terrifying is that Ropz! He switched back to his AWP and is holding a tight position at the entrance to B1, aiming for any potential 'scalp spot' that might appear in the A short direction!"

“Ropz knows it well! His teammate didn’t see Dark after killing someone in the sand, so the remaining CT probably came from A short. It’s impossible for him to go through such a big circle from the terrorist spawn.”

"What about Dark? Does he know that there's a sniper rifle positioned here on B1 like a viper?"

"Hey wait! He seems to know it too!" The man playing with the machine suddenly raised his voice.

At this moment, the camera showed Meng Lang, who had walked to A-xiao, not rushing out recklessly. He drew his dagger, moved forward quietly, and remained in a crouching position throughout.

Clearly, he was already intentionally avoiding any potential scalp-positioned firing positions on B1.

Instead of jumping directly from the X box to the middle path, he took a few more steps along the A path towards the oil drum, and then silently jumped down to the middle path from a suitable position with a good height difference.

After landing, he quietly made his way towards the entrance to the B1 level.

At this moment, the countdown for the C4 bomb at point B was becoming increasingly rapid, the ticking sound agonizing.

Ropz knew that they had basically won this point.

But his sniper rifle remained firmly positioned at the entrance to B1, guarding the middle lane and A short direction, his eyes focused and unwavering.

Yes, he wanted to kill that guy with the ID Dark on the other side again.

Since their defeat in the Legends Group last time, the team's loss has become secondary, after all, it was only a BO1 series.

The key was the terrifying insight the opponent displayed during the game... as if they knew everything about him, and the repeated defeats in the psychological battles...

This feeling of being completely seen through and falling short is something that the proud and arrogant Ropz has been very concerned about lately.

Therefore, during this period, he was also frantically studying the demos of every Major match of G2 and repeatedly watching Meng Lang's personal POV.

He is also constantly and diligently trying to understand and analyze this young opponent.

Because of understanding,
He knew that even in this seemingly hopeless situation, the guy on the other side would definitely come.

I will definitely try to do something.
We will never sit idly by and wait for our demise.

However, with the countdown to the C4 about to end, Ropz, who had been holding the sniper rifle at the B1 entrance for a long time, still hadn't seen the figure he expected.

No flash.

There were no footsteps.

It was as if there was no one there at all.

For a fleeting moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Could it be that he misjudged the situation?
Faced with this clearly irreversible situation, did the opposing team finally give up on treatment?

Or perhaps... the other side chose a more extreme route, circling around the bandit's base to the back garden, wanting to attack from a completely unexpected location?

This slight wavering in his heart caused an extremely subtle crack in Ropz's focus.

He held on for another two seconds, but the B1 entrance remained completely silent.

In the end, he couldn't resist.

With the thought of "taking a look at B passage just in case," he slowly turned around and moved the muzzle of his sniper rifle toward the spiral staircase inside B1.

however!
Just at this time!
Meng Lang, who had been quietly walking down the middle lane from A and had been hiding in the shadows outside the B1 door like a ghost, appeared almost the second after Ropz turned around and exposed his back!
Suddenly it moved!

He stealthily made his way into the B1 level!
At this moment, the audience members and those playing with the machines who saw this scene through the director's perspective were all dumbfounded!
Actually, it's not just at this moment.

Just now, when Ropz was holding the sniper rifle directly on B1, Meng Lang was able to precisely position himself in the most extreme blind spot outside the B1 door without moving, which already made people very suspicious that he was firing!
However, at that moment, just as Ropz turned around, Meng Lang sneaked in like a ghost!

The timing is perfect!
"This is... not a cheat?"

I just couldn't control myself while playing the machine!
You want to say this is a coincidence?
What a coincidence!
The timing is absolutely perfect!
Uh, it seems so.

Such coincidences often happen to contestants who hide USB drives in a certain great rift valley.
After a brief moment of collective astonishment, the audience in Antwerp couldn't help but let out the characteristic "Oh!" of CS offline tournaments once again!
However, Meng Lang always beat him to it with an "oh"!
The moment the warning sounds from all directions of the venue reached Ropz's noise-canceling headphones, Meng Lang had already silently crept up behind Ropz!
Then, he did something that surprised everyone—he threw the AK-47 in his hand directly onto the ground in front of Ropz!
Ropz, who was walking silently and slowly making his way towards the spiral staircase with his sniper rifle in hand, felt something fly past the edge of his scope's field of view. He instinctively pulled the scope down.

In the sniper scope's view, there was suddenly an AK-47 on the ground at his feet?

Where did the AK come from?

The question had barely formed in his mind when, a second later, the deafening "Oh—!" warning sounds from the stadium clearly reached his ears through his headphones.

Ropz suddenly felt a jolt!
But just as he was about to turn around

Pfft——!
The dagger in Meng Lang's hand had already plunged deep into his back!

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Ropz with the Hunter's Dagger.

"laugh--!"

All the G2 fans at the scene immediately let out a huge chorus of boos and cheers, a mixture of jeers and catharsis!
Ropz stared at his screen, now completely gray again, and at the glaring knife kill icon, and felt a lump in his throat!

No!

I've been standing here for ages, how come he's still behind me?

So, he sneaked in the moment I turned around?

The timing... the awareness...

What else could this be but a cheat code?!

He, who had been smiling after electrocuting the old nun, suddenly stopped smiling.

On the G2 pitch.

"Nice Bro! Well done!"

Old NiKo clenched his fist again and shouted at Meng Lang, feeling that most of the anger in his chest had finally been released!

He had almost lost his composure because of Ropz's "sunshine" playstyle, but now that he saw Meng Lang take down Ropz in such a dramatic and ruthless way, he felt like he had gulped down an ice-cold Coke on a sweltering summer day, and his whole body felt refreshed and clear-headed!

As the first half ended, the excited old man, unusually, turned towards the FAZE competition area across the stage and shouted with a laugh, "You like shocking me? Keep shocking me!"

Ropz could only touch his nose, shake his head with a wry smile, and offer no response.

He never expected that after messing with someone's mindset, he would end up being retaliated against in an even more mind-bending way. What goes around comes around.

"Shut up, Niko!"

Karrigan immediately struck his signature rap pose, shrugged, and shouted with a smile, "We won this point! Remember! We took this point!"

Yes, although Meng Lang finally killed Ropz with a knife, which avenged Lao Ni and greatly boosted G2's morale, FAZE still managed to take the last point of the first half.

The C4 bomb exploded in the next second!
The first half ended with a classic, somewhat mystical score of 6:9.

FAZE entered the second half trailing by three points.

During the brief break between matches, the coaches on both teams were making the most of the remaining time to give their teams a final pep talk.

On G2's side, Aleksib and his teammates exchanged fist bumps, his tone resolute:
"Brothers, well done! Keep it up! But this team is too tenacious and persistent. We need to put in more effort and be more focused in the second half!"

Cousin huNter patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! We'll be the bad guys in the second half, we'll be fine! We have the advantage on the T side in Sands II!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell on Meng Lang, filled with smiles and trust.

Clearly, everyone has assumed who the supervillain is!
FAZE's side.

Karrigan, the eldest cousin, also gave a final, impassioned pep talk:

"Listen up, guys! It's only 6 to 9! Don't forget, this is the rhythm we know! This is our CS! To hell with that Dark guy and his performance!"

"I don't need to elaborate on how mystical this score is; countless comebacks have occurred at this level throughout history! We will definitely be victorious in the end! This year is destined to be FAZE's year! No one can stop us! Let's bring victory back together!"

Soon, the second half of the game started again, and the two sides switched roles.

In the pistol round, Meng Lang was equipped with a P250. Xiao Lizi called out a tactical order: early map control, harassing A site, and then flanking B site from mid after about 40 seconds. Unexpectedly, Meng Lang, wielding a P250, pushed forward into A site and, relying on his individual skill, engaged in a gunfight with the CT's USP by constantly swaying, stopping abruptly, and peeking.

First, he seized the opportunity and headshot Rain, the main defender of A site, instantly!

Then, Broky, who was defending Area A, heard the firefight and wanted to come and check the situation to help with the defense.

The two repeeked at each other several times, moving back and forth between the inside and outside of door A.
Meng Lang suddenly stopped moving, holding the P250 firmly against the edge of the cover where the opponent was hiding.

The next second, just as Broky was about to Repeek out from behind cover, he was caught in a "bullet in the head" moment, and Meng Lang accurately located him and took him out with one shot!
Another kill!

Aleksib, who was originally making default settings in B and preparing to execute the B-team tactic, became excited.

A-Da wore it!
Then why bother with the B-clamping technique?
Going to B now will most likely result in two guns waiting for you, so you might as well switch to A!
He immediately changed the command, ordering the mid-lane map control player m0NESY to take C4 and head directly to A-short, with the entire team accelerating to attack A!

6657 live broadcast room.

"Oh! Little Li has chosen to turn the tables and make the fake attack real! He's turned the fake attack on A into a real attack on A! This is going to speed things up and get us onto the A platform!" The machine player spoke at lightning speed.

"Wow! Dark's P250 is unstoppable! Two shots, two headshots, completely breaking through FAZE's A site defense! FAZE is being a bit silly, why did Broccoli keep reloading after Rain died? Isn't that just feeding?"

"Now G2 has all assembled on Platform A! Dark is directly on Platform A, using the P250 to drive straight towards A Short!"

"Big Brother is coming back from the police station! Dark gets the first shot! Precise headshot with a P250!"

"Ropz, who was trying to flank from the sand, was caught off guard by Old Ni, who pulled him out from A site! Old Ni successfully got his revenge, sneaking up behind Ropz and knocking off his butt!"

"Now only the director who's holding the gun at the police station is left! The director still needs to be pulled out for a test! But Dark! Dark fires another one! The fourth P250 shot is fired!"

"Four bullets! Four shots! Four heads! They were all wiped out instantly! This P250 is like it's got a magnet, it just shoots at heads!"

"Wow! His P250 is just like ZywOo's, he's getting headshots everywhere he goes, and his stats are maxed out! Who can handle that!"

"And the key point is that he didn't even need to look for anyone in the end! He just stood in the center of Platform A! On Platform A, he became the ultimate defensive tower! A ruthless, stationary turret! He could hit anything he wanted!"

Playing with the machine, he laughed uncontrollably and said, "Seriously, let me tell you, the reason G2 was able to break their 'pistol round curse' is entirely thanks to Dark! The USP on the CT side and the P250 on the T side... Dark wasn't actually that good at using it at the beginning of the Major, it's like he suddenly mastered it overnight, it's just too damn ridiculous!"

The live stream chat was also filled with a barrage of jokes:
"Got it! A sudden realization, kid!"

"I can only say that this kid has a perfect epiphany, so he's actually in the Major tournaments!"

"Isn't this like they're cheating all the way into the offline competition?"

"Potato's USB drive is hidden in the Great Rift Valley, where do you think Dark's USB drive is hidden?"

"Where else could it be? It must be hidden inside the Big Jiba! (laughs)"

"."

Having won the pistol round, a "team-historic challenge," G2, riding high on the momentum on the generally considered T-side-favored map, Dust2, began to press their advantage and keep scoring.

The score went from 10-6 to 13-6, with three consecutive points coming in between.

In these few minutes, not only NiKo and m0NESY, but even the cousin, one of the top riflemen of the former G2 "Bosnian Twin Stars", finally got into a hot hand and even got a quad kill in the last round. And it wasn't a "special" kill, but a real one.

Those who play with the machines all exclaimed:
"It feels like G2 is now a four-horse chariot! Dark, NiKo, huNter-, m0NESY, four against four! The advantage of the Galactic Battleship FAZE is getting smaller and smaller!"

However, as a super team aiming for the championship, FAZE's resilience is beyond imagination.

In the twentieth round, FAZE, on the CT side, came up with a new strategy after the coach's timeout.

That is—Ropz's AWP on the defending side at point B!
At the start of the game, Ropz set up his position outside B site and landed a precise flick shot, catching Aleksib, who was holding a utility item and focused on checking the information, neglecting his positioning. Then, Ropz quickly covered B site with smoke.

After Xiao Li died, he immediately reported the location: "There's a sniper at point B! Be careful, don't rush B yet!"

He was worried that in addition to the sniper rifle, there would also be riflemen and bodyguards defending point B, and that a forced breakthrough would result in heavy losses.

However, Ropz, as the loudest engine of the Galaxy Battleship at this moment, is on map 3, sand 2, and top – he has already killed 23 people, the most in the team!

His ambitions go far beyond that.

Seeing that he was so far behind in the score, he knew that simply killing one player wouldn't be enough to catch up.

That guy on the other side with the ID Dark can often wipe out the kill advantage he created at the start of the game in an instant with just one person and an AK.

So he made an extremely bold decision!

He decisively and quietly made his way to the smoke he had just used to block the B site, and then, holding his sniper rifle, he pushed it out!
Yes, he's going to use the smoke as cover to launch an unconventional forward push!
This risky move had a miraculous effect!
He just happened to arrest his cousin huNter and Old Ni near the spiral staircase on the B2 level, who were about to make a default move!

They caught the two players off guard and completed a two-on-one run!

G2 was suddenly left with only m0NESY and Meng Lang, and had no choice but to save their guns for this point.

This point means that Ropz single-handedly defended a point!
The score is now 13-7!

The Galacticos finally started to score with difficulty in the second half.

And with this one point, FAZE's terrifying "stickiness" immediately became apparent.

They seemed to have found the rhythm switch and began to tenaciously chase the score, actually bringing the score from 7:13 to 12:13!

They've locked onto G2 tightly!

In the following round 26, Old Ni made a brilliant individual breakthrough at point A, which finally stopped FAZE's scoring momentum and allowed G2 to start scoring again.

The score of G2 against FAZE is now 14-12.

Just one point short,
G2 can secure match point!

The match quickly moved to the 27th round, and the air was thick with suffocating pressure.

6657 live broadcast room.

The voice playing the machine was tense: "G2 is now just one point away from match point! And that match point might just be a series of unreasonable sweeping attacks from Dark."

"However, this match may not be so simple!"

"G2 is facing a super team that is in top form and at its peak! And as the game progressed, I could feel that the super team's engines were running at full power, roaring recklessly!"

Accompanied by the sounds of playing with machines!

The countdown ended, and the game resumed.

However, just 25 seconds into the game, Nicklas, who had just broken the previous point and was in good form, seemed a bit nervous and made a mistake in this crucial point that was about to be the match point.

As he passed through the bandit's den, he didn't notice that a figure had silently emerged from the smoke bomb at the middle gate.

Bang--!
Ropz's sniper rifle roared once again as he pounced on the enemy's front line from the middle!

Another precise sniper shot, taking down Old N directly!
Then he swiftly slashed his blade and retreated, disappearing into the smoke, his merits and fame remaining hidden.

"My God! Ropz's shot was so aggressive!"

"Here we go again! A crucial game! Old Ni!"

Playing with machines is heartbreaking.

Old Ni stared at the gray screen, his face flushed with frustration, and then he tilted his head back and exhaled a long breath into the air!

He didn't understand why, sometimes in such crucial situations, he would always miss these seemingly "inexplicable" timings and make some mistakes he shouldn't have made.

Commander Xiao Li saw that things were not going well. He was short of players at the start. If he continued to play by default, he would likely be overwhelmed by the experienced FAZE, who would push forward and clear out his troops one by one.

So he made a decisive decision to change the pace and launch a fast mid-range burst on A-field!
Hopefully, this will disrupt FAZE's defensive strategy.

When his cousin saw Ropz secure another crucial first kill at the start of the game, he exclaimed "Nice Robin!" and even hummed along with a relaxed air.

In his view, the situation at the start of this round for CT was completely stable, and all that was left was to slowly manage the game and expand their advantage.

However, even in this slightly relaxed state of mind!

Leonardo DiCaprio's sudden change and acceleration caught him completely off guard!
On the A-side, Big Brother started with an old AUG, still habitually driving straight towards the A gate, ready to steadily collect tolls.

Unexpectedly, a figure flashed past door A!
No bombs!

No smoke from the A University exhibition!
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared without warning, taking large strides!

The older cousin seemed to be asleep, and Meng Lang pulled him out and took him out in a second with an AK!

G2-Dark used an AK-47 to headshot and kill FAZE-karrigan.

The next second, the smoke and blinding flashbangs that Little Li supplied to A University finally exploded belatedly in the sky above A University.

"oh----!"

The man playing the machine was so shocked he jumped up from his chair. "My God! Dark! He charged faster than a bomb! This young man is invincible! My cousin was still staring blankly at his gun position when he was already killed!"

"So what do we say now? Broky is still at A University! Broky chose to retreat while keeping his gun up; he knows he can't stay here any longer and wants to retreat back to Platform A to regroup with his teammates!"

"But will Dark let him go?"

"Absolutely not! He doesn't give me a chance at all!"

Amidst the smoke of A University, Meng Lang's figure flashed out once again like a demon!

Broky instinctively stopped abruptly.

A blind-fire flick shot!
boom!
The sniper bullet grazed past Meng Lang and missed!

Meng Lang, however, used an extremely stable mid-range AK spray to take down Broky, who was trying to retreat!

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Broky with an AK-47

"Twistzz, the director of Platform A, tried to stall for time by throwing the Thunderfire combo, but the kid following behind caught him in the moment of weakness while he was throwing the item and killed him with a single sniper shot!"

"Yellow Lightning! You're killing now too? Showing no mercy in this crucial moment!"

"Oh no! FAZE! Their army is collapsing like a house of cards! A gate has become an unstoppable breach! Now FAZE is left with a 2v4 situation! And A main has been completely lost!"

After the police officer offered him a cigarette, the remaining four members of G2 stormed onto Platform A.

At this moment, from the perspective of death, the older cousin quickly and rapidly directed the remaining team members.

Rain, who was defending A-site, nodded from time to time, but at this moment, his hand holding the mouse trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Although he had some highlights in the second picture, in the third picture, he was repeatedly defeated by Dark in the second matchup. That sense of powerlessness and oppression haunted him like a nightmare.

After experiencing repeated failures, it's inevitable for people to start to doubt themselves!
Can he... still face that Dark?
That ridiculously young, incredibly accurate shooting supernova rifleman?

Ropz, on the other hand, kept his lips tightly pursed. His childhood experiences and introverted personality had forged his extraordinary resilience and steely nerves.

At this moment, Ropz, wielding a sniper rifle, silently slipped into the smoke grenades coming from the direction of the CT spawn.

Upon hearing the "beep" sound indicating that C4 was being installed on platform A, his eyes narrowed, and he made an extremely daring move—he headed directly towards the general direction of platform A.
A jump,
I fired a blind shot in mid-air based on my gut feeling!
boom!
The heavy gunshots of the AWP rang out again!
Bullets burst forth!

As if Lady Luck was on his side at that moment, a T-shaped figure that was moving on platform A suddenly collapsed to the ground!

FAZE-Ropz kills G2-Aleksib with an AWP.

"My God! That incredible jump shot blind shot! It's like seeing the invincible Coldzera from 2016!" Wanji's voice trembled with excitement.

The FAZE fans at the scene instantly became like a powder keg that had been lit, jumping up from their seats and letting out deafening screams and shouts!
Almost at the same time,

Taking advantage of the chaos created by Ropz's incredible kill, Rain suddenly emerged from A short and with a precise side-step shot, killed his cousin huNter- who was still aiming his gun!

[FAZE-rain kills G2-huNter- with an M4A4]

In the blink of an eye, the situation on the field changed dramatically once again!
From G2's advantageous position

It turned into a tense 2v2 endgame!

G2 only has Dark and m0NESY left, while FAZE only has Ropz and Rain left.

The situation has reached a suffocating stalemate!
With the time to plant C4 fast approaching, the countdown has only 10 seconds left!
Meng Lang, from behind the blue car on Platform A, precisely threw his last smoke grenade at the spot where the C4 had fallen on Platform A.

Tsk-!
The smoke instantly spread, obscuring the view from the center of the bun shop.

"Ilya! Go plant the bomb!" Meng Lang said quickly and calmly over the voice chat.

"what?"

"Believe me!"

"……it is good!"

At this moment, in the G2 booth.

All the team members held their breath, watching the two young men's predicament with bated breath.

"Oh! The kid in the sniper position rushed into the smoke, he's really going to drop the bomb right there! He's completely entrusting his life to Dark's protection!"

boom--!
From the police station below the platform, as they were smoking, another AWP roared out!
It's Ropz!

His good luck seemed to be continuing. He once again hit the kid m0NESY, who was switching positions and planting the bomb in the smoke, with a blind shot in the smoke, or rather, by judging by experience and sound!

FAZE-Ropz kills G2-m0NESY with an AWP.

"Ropz! He's still committed! He hasn't given up! This is a galactic battleship soaring into the sky!"

The sounds of playing with the machines were incredibly powerful and amazing!

however!
The words about playing the machine hadn't even completely faded away yet!

Suddenly, a burst of rapid and deadly AK fire came from the direction of the blue car on Platform A!
Da da da--!
Without warning, the "Galaxy Battleship," which had just taken off and soared into the sky, was sunk on the spot by Meng Lang's extremely calm burst of fire before it could fully accelerate!
Ropz collapsed to the ground!

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Ropz with an AK-47

Not only that!

The moment he shot Ropz down, his gun barely paused. With his exceptional aiming and aiming ability, he unleashed another ruthless mid-to-long-range spray and retreat!

The AK bullets seemed to have eyes, accurately finding Rain, who had just emerged from A site and was about to finish him off!

puff puff!

G2-Dark killed FAZE-rain with an AK-47

Double kill!

Top right corner of the screen
The two kill notifications appeared almost simultaneously!
G2-Dark killed FAZE-Ropz with an AK-47

G2-Dark killed FAZE-rain with an AK-47

The T faction has won!
The score is now 15-12!

G2 took the lead and secured match point!
At the Antwerp stadium, the G2 fans, who had just been briefly suppressed by the roar of the FAZE fans, immediately stood up and let out a frenzied and incredulous exclamation and shouts!

The sound completely overwhelmed the venue!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the person playing with the machine let out another heart-wrenching scream!

"Oh! Dark! That ruthless sweeping attack! He alone! He shot down the newly launched super team! He extinguished FAZE's last hope of a comeback! He directly helped G2 secure this match point!"

"This is a ruthless... 'ship destroyer'!!"

The chat room for streamer 6657 was immediately flooded with various comments:
"Black God! The eternal God!"

"That AK is so steady and accurate! I'm totally stunned!"

"Dark: I heard there's a galactic warship soaring into the sky here?"

"I'm moved to tears, brothers! This is the pride of CN CS!"

"."

After this point, the FAZE booth experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, going from hell to heaven and then back to hell in an instant. Everyone's breathing became noticeably rapid, and their faces didn't look too good.

FAZE called their final timeout in Figure 3.

No matter how much Karrigan likes to talk big and create entertainment in his daily life, his leadership and ability to unite the team are undeniable at this moment.

He clapped his hands again and shouted loudly for the team members to twist the rope wildly:
"Hey! Hey! Look at me! Look at my guys! That Dark guy is nothing special! He's no big deal."

"We've come this far! They've only reached match point, not won the game yet! Cheer up! Let's work together and force overtime!"

"Please believe in me! Believe in each other! If we go into overtime, with our experience and resilience, we will definitely win! Because we are the strongest! We are the invincible Galactic Team!"

The FAZE team quickly rallied their spirits.

And they unleashed their final trump card!
Live stream room 6657
He was so excited playing with the machines that he was panting heavily.

"Holy crap! This was an epic battle! This semi-final was so exciting! I never expected it to be this thrilling!"

"Ropz almost took responsibility just now! He fired the shot that turned the tide of the battle, but thankfully Dark stepped up again!"

"If we win the last point, FAZE will definitely catch up!"

Alright! Let's see if G2 can take down FAZE in this next round!

"Holy crap! Wait! The CTs are pushing right up to the middle door!"

"The ultimate scoring move! The Galacticos pulled out their ultimate scoring move again in the match point game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cousin, who was preparing to throw an item in the middle lane, was sniped to death by Broccoli, who had pushed forward!
My cousin immediately pointed out that there were many people in the middle lane.

several?

Little Li asked.

At least three!

My cousin said.

Originally, Li Zi, who was outside Gate A and wanted to fake a point to attack Gate A and then switch to Gate A to trap Gate A, heard this!
What's the point of faking it then?
He immediately ordered a burst of flashbangs to quickly exit through Gate A!
On the other side, the older brother who stayed at A University to take the main defense has learned his lesson this time!
He threw away the props and then retreated!
When Little Li saw his cousin drop the prop and run away, he immediately guessed that the A bomb site was empty, and immediately ordered the bomb to be used to take advantage of the situation!

All of a sudden!

Bring on the thunder and fire!

The blue car stalled!
The police officer asked for a cigarette.
All the props were thrown over there!

Then Little Li covered the rear, while Meng Lang, Old Ni, and the child all charged forward!

However, at this stage, both sides were on edge, and FAZE's command and control were very timely.

G2 speeds up here!
Rain God and Director, who had pushed forward from the middle lane, also accelerated!
They rushed straight out of Gate A, the director flashed his weapon, and the Rain God cleared the way.

A torrential downpour hit University A again!
Little Li was white,
One burst of fire took them all out!
"My God! FAZE reacted so fast!"

"As expected, this is the ultimate scoring move after a timeout!"

"Now G2's situation has become 3v5, with two CTs flanking from behind A main and one from A small! Ropz, with his M4A1, has once again infiltrated the CT spawn area with a smoke grenade, while Big Brother is crouching behind the second crate on the platform. What do you say about this?"

"If they get surrounded, all three Ts will be melted by the crossfire!"

this moment,
Meng Lang's breathing also became rapid!
he knows,
I have to make this shot!
At the crucial moment, just as the child and the old man reached slope A, Meng Lang stood directly behind the blue car.

War is imminent!
Next second,
The older cousin, who was crouching behind the second box on platform A, fired the first shot!
They unleashed a barrage of FAMAS bullets at the old man who was peeking out from sideways at A!

When A, the old man who was peeking out, was shooting at him, he was instantly killed by the broccoli that appeared at the same time as A's little man!
At this time,
Meng Lang made a move!

He first looked at the flashbang trajectory shadow on the wall of A Xiao, a backflash at light speed with extreme speed!
Immediately followed by a long-range AK burst.

boom!
A single AK bullet ripped the helmet apart!

"Wow—! Dark tore Broccoli's sniper rifle apart with his bare hands! That dodging—! I didn't even see where he dodged, man!"

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Broky with an AK-47

Next second,
Gunfire erupted from A behind!
But Rain God and Director immediately used A-slant flick shot to cripple Big Brother's kid!
Taking advantage of the fact that the child had drawn the attention of the director and Rain God at the back of A University, Meng Lang pulled out a burst of fire and took away the two of them!
G2-Dark used an AK-47 to headshot and kill FAZE-Twistzz

G2-Dark used an AK-47 to headshot and kill FAZE-rain.

Immediately, he unleashed another barrage of fire through the crates, taking down his cousin who had pulled the crate closer to launch a sneak attack!
G2-Dark killed FAZE-karrigan with an AK-47

Triple kill in an instant!

"My God! That spin! Two headshots on the back! My cousin's going to be killed instantly!"

"Now it's a 1v1 duel between Dark and Ropz!"

"Ropz hasn't fired yet, he's very mysterious! Can Dark understand?"

Where is the last person?

At this moment, Meng Lang didn't wait for Ropz, who was hiding in the police spawn area and smoking, to reveal his information. He directly fired the last 7 bullets of his AK at the side of the wall near Platform A where Ropz was smoking!
Puff-!
The bullet pierced the flesh!

A cloud of smoke!
Meng Lang took Ropz away again!

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Ropz with an AK-47

Pentakill!

In live stream room 6657, the machine player suddenly produced an amazing bubble sound!
"Oh my god! Dark—!"

"He understands! He understands everything! He used his last seven bullets to find the enemy amidst the smoke and achieved this incredible ACE!"

"In absolute adversity, he was like a terrifying demon king! He used a sweeping pentakill to completely kill the game!"

"Congratulations to G2!! They defeated the roaring super team FAZE and made it to the Antwerp Major finals!"

Under the director's camera,
Meng Lang took off his headphones and raised his hands again!

He didn't shout, but calmly swept his gaze across the circular stadium!
In an instant,
The entire stadium in Antwerp erupted in cheers!
The golden rain did not fall.

But all the cheers and accolades were focused on him alone.
