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

Chapter 129 Living to Die! Dual-Gun Dragon! (Two chapters combined, 1.1 words)

Pentakill!

ACE!

At this moment, countless viewers on major live streaming platforms around the world witnessed Meng Lang's incredible four-kill streak amidst the smoke and his subsequent one-on-one duel with S1mple, and were collectively stunned for a brief moment.

Prior to this, the legend in the CS:GO community was that "when Niko started gesturing at the wall," performing some kind of mysterious and ritualistic aiming, it meant that someone was about to have a major misfortune.

But no one has ever thought of it, and no one has ever seen it—that someone could actually "gesture" at a cloud of chaotic smoke!
And after they made the gesture, the enemies behind the smoke really did line up and fall down! This completely overturned their understanding of the game!

The English commentary booth went completely wild, with the two commentators expressing their shock in an almost screaming, translating tone:
"Oh my God! What am I seeing? This is not a human ability! Dark! He seems to be able to see through the thick fog of war! His bullets seem to be guided, each one precisely finding the enemy's vital points behind the smoke! This is witchcraft! It's a miracle!"

"Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! In the long history of CS, we have witnessed the emergence of countless geniuses, but I have never seen anything like this, where smoke smoke is transformed into an art of precision strikes! He is not just playing the game, he is redefining the limits of the game! This young man from the East, he is a true 'smoke wizard'!"

In live stream room 6657, after the director finished replaying Meng Lang's entire pentakill, the player couldn't help but slam his fist on the table again:

"Brothers... this smoke screen... I'm at a loss for words! It's outrageous! It's just too outrageous!"

“In the past, many people, including myself, had a consensus, or rather, a ‘message’, that Dark’s AK was as fierce as a god of war, but his M4A1 always seemed to fall short. His recoil control wasn’t smooth enough, and his kill efficiency was far inferior to that of the AK. Even NAVI’s coach B1ad3 made a point about this before the match.”

"But now! Look at this! Look at this mid-to-long-range recoil control and smoke manipulation! This stability! This bullet spread control! This is simply not something someone who's 'bad at using the M4A1' could pull off!"

Playing with the machine paused, his tone becoming extremely serious: "And, I don't know if you guys have noticed a detail? Dark's overall performance on the Nuclear Crisis map, his positioning, his predictions, his understanding and control of the map, seems... to be more terrifying and more effortless than in any previous match we've seen! It's as if... he suddenly underwent some kind of evolution on this map!"

With the machine playing an in-depth analysis, the score reached 3-0, and the fourth round began.

After losing the pistol round, NAVI lost two consecutive force buy rounds, and their economy collapsed.

For this point, they could only choose the unarmored ECO, and had only the most basic pistols at their disposal.

G2's commander, Little Li, accurately assessed the opponent's economic situation and immediately restarted the ABGO tactic, which had failed to break through the bandit's hall in the previous round, attempting to push forward and expand the victory.

Ultimately, G2 managed to thwart NAVI's eco attempt at the cost of one player, with huNter- securing a double kill, while Menglang, m0NESY, and NiKo each racked up a kill.

The score came to 4:0.

At this moment, an astonishing scene unfolded!

In just four rounds, Meng Lang's personal kill count has reached a frightening 15!

On average, nearly 4 kills per round.

The efficiency is terrifying.

Next up is the first real long-range gunfight in the nuclear crisis, as shown in Figure 1.

However, before this long rifle round began, NAVI's coach B1ad3 looked at Meng Lang, who was on fire with his skills, and then glanced at his own team members, who seemed somewhat dull and anxious due to their continuous setbacks.

He decisively called the first tactical timeout of the first half.

In live stream room 6657, the chat exploded with comments like a floodgate had been opened:

"Hahaha! Pause! Pause! Brad can't hold on!"

Before the match: 'I can imagine fifteen people who can kill Dark from any position.' Now: 'When will these fifteen warriors take the stage?'

"Don't rush, don't rush, the Warriors have already gone up, haven't they? Look at Dark's kill counter, those NAVI IDs are almost able to buy a house with that kill count!"

"Regarding the fact that all fifteen of our warriors have entered the enemy's counter."

"This is hilarious, hahaha!"

"."

Watching the live stream chat erupt in celebration, Wanjiji couldn't help but chuckle. Suppressing a laugh, he analyzed, "How should I put it? NAVI really needed to call a pause. If they hadn't, their mentality would have been seriously damaged. Coach B1ad3 really needs to think of a solution. This is the first time I've seen a team's top player already looking flushed before the first long-range rifle round even started on Nuka-Zero. Seriously, they need to plan carefully and stabilize their position."

The atmosphere at the NAVI booth was somber.

"The strategy for the first two rounds' force buys was sound, it's just... the execution was too rough." B1ad3 habitually affirmed first and then denied, trying to stabilize morale.

The crowd fell silent upon hearing this, and the atmosphere did not improve.

S1mple suddenly interjected, clearly annoyed: "It's not that the play was rough, it's that they died too quickly."

These words were clearly spoken with emotion.

In his first two buys, he used a sniper rifle to provide support on the outside and a Desert Eagle to create pressure on the flanks, both of which played a significant role.

Unfortunately, before he could fully enter the battlefield and play a decisive role, his teammates would fall like leeks being harvested.

Including that pistol round, he diligently walked backwards to check the way back, but when he turned around, all four of his teammates were taken down in two seconds by an enemy player who had gotten all the white items.

Who the hell can I complain to?

Fortunately, his teammates understood his personality and knew that he wasn't targeting anyone, but was just extremely competitive and eager to win the game, so no one found it strange.

electronic chimed in, sounding equally annoyed: "These last two games... I've had such bad luck."

He was always the first to die, and the way he died was more and more outrageous each time. Especially in the last minute, he was walking quietly behind the smoke when he was suddenly swept away and killed by the smoke.

He was so angry at the time that he almost burst out laughing.

"This 'Dark' thing... is a bit of an exaggeration."

Perfecto gave a wry smile and spoke for everyone, "It seems we've received false information... His use of the M4A1 isn't as bad as rumored, in fact... it's even a little good."

Is there even a little?

Big B recalled being blown up by Meng Lang's M4A1 jump shot on the yellow house in the second round, and being accurately shot down by Meng Lang through the smoke in the outer area just now. He knew very well that this was not just "a little bit good".

Although he felt inexplicably "unhappy" with Meng Lang because they were childhood sweethearts.

But as a top professional player, he wouldn't let emotions cloud his judgment. The opponent's control over the M4A1, especially the stable recoil control and terrifying understanding of smoke, was absolutely world-class.

Then the problem is coming...

Why has he never shown any outstanding performance with the M4A1, from the Challenger Group to the Legends Group, and then from the Legends Group to the Champions Group? In fact, according to data provided by NAVI analysts, the kill rate and efficiency of this gun are far inferior to his sniper rifle and submachine gun.

Could it be that he... is hiding?
But I've only ever heard of Tibetan tactics.
What professional player would hide their gun on the highest stage like a Major?

Just thinking about it made Big B feel dizzy.

Once the players had vented their emotions, B1ad3 clapped his hands and prepared to give instructions: "In the next rifle round, I need you to play more patiently and as a team. We are a team..."

Before he could finish speaking, S1mple interrupted him.

"The whole team?" the absolute core of NAVI retorted in an unfriendly tone, "How much more teamwork do you need? Is playing this methodical way really effective?"

He would always pick up a sniper rifle or a Desert Eagle, set up his gun at the back according to the tactical requirements, and execute the default action. However, when he felt it was time to make his move, he would often find that his teammates were already almost all dead.

Actually, Brad's tactics were not the problem.

NAVI's more academic-style tactical system actually had a very high win rate against other teams in this Major.

Because these star players are individually skilled enough, they often don't need overly complex tactics. They only need to master the basics and then easily win by relying on their superior marksmanship at their respective positions.

But today, S1mple had a feeling that continuing to play like this wouldn't work.

That guy on the other side named Dark plays too aggressively, just like me back in 2018 when I was invincible and tore the battlefield apart with my own skills.

If you turn around and your team is still slowly and methodically building up the default settings, the "monster" on the other side will have already wiped out all your teammates at a certain point like a dump truck!
What's the point of him being a sniper then?
Upon hearing that S1mple had directly interrupted his tactical deployment, a barely perceptible hint of displeasure flashed across B1ad3's face.

But he suppressed his emotions and asked in a deep voice, "So how do you want to fight?"

“I want the freedom to fire,” S1mple said without hesitation and with unwavering conviction.

Upon hearing this, the air inside the NAVI team fell silent for a moment.

B1ad3 has always emphasized team synergy and cohesion.

He firmly believes that NAVI is a team and that victory can only be achieved through the strength of the team.

As a sniper, S1mple's primary task is to hold the default firing position and create a safe space for the team, rather than wandering around looking for kills like a rifleman.

The two have had many arguments about this in the past.

B1ad3 has always believed that NAVI already has enough star players and too much individualistic "free firing," which often leads to unnecessary player losses.

Therefore, he has been trying to reclaim these overly dispersed firing authority and transform the team into a more disciplined and efficient unit that obeys his command.

In his view, a team only needs one voice, and that is him, the strategist and coach!
that's enough!
In the last debate, S1mple was eventually persuaded by this "godfather of the CIS" and temporarily restrained his playing style.

But today, facing the immense pressure from Dark, whether out of competitiveness or seeing some hope of breaking the deadlock, he actually brought up the old issue again.

Electronic gave S1mple a deep look, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

Others might not understand, but he vaguely guessed the reason.

Perhaps it was the guy on the other side with the ID Dark, whose domineering and unreasonable style of play, relying on his personal ability to forcibly change the course of the battle, that reminded S1mple of his former spirited and invincible self.

The atmosphere at the NAVI booth was somewhat subdued and tense.

B1ad3 glanced at the paused countdown on the screen.

He didn't want tactical disagreements to negatively impact the players' emotions during the match, especially when the situation was unfavorable.

After much deliberation, he finally chose to compromise at this moment and nodded:

"Okay. But you need to understand that your right to fire freely requires the support of the team and..."

"I can win."

S1mple interrupted succinctly, his tone filled with undeniable confidence.

B1ad3 remained silent this time.

He simply stared at S1mple's defiant back, then glanced with a complex expression at the equally young and confident figure on the G2 stage opposite him.

At this moment,

B1ad3 seemed to understand somewhat.

Why did I subconsciously feel a sense of rejection from the very first moment I saw Dark, the newcomer to G2?

They're just as unruly!

They're just as self-centered!

We firmly believe that individual ability can supersede teamwork!
Do they really think that CS, as it has evolved to this day, is still a simple "murder game"?

Perhaps this is why, deep down, he has never been able to like these overly dazzling "superstar players."

The pause ended quickly.

The match has entered the fifth round.

On G2's side, Xiao Li quickly arranged the tactics: "The opponent has played the outer field and K1 in a row. In the next round, they will likely switch to the inner field. Meng, you should still defend the iron plate in the next round. If there is a situation, prioritize keeping them alive."

At this point, Little Li suddenly laughed to himself, recalling Meng Lang's earth-shattering double-gun five-kill at the iron plate at the beginning of the game, and couldn't help but add humorously: "Of course, you can fire freely as you see fit, and we will try our best to cooperate with you."

Yes, in Leonardo DiCaprio's view, Meng Lang has the freedom to fire, and at the very least, he can reliably replace one of them.

Of course, it would be even better if we could take down the opponent right away like at the start of the game...

At the same time, in NAVI's booth, in-game leader Boombl4 quickly said, "This time, we'll start by building the default Iron Plate and try to take it down. We can't let Dark farm so comfortably anymore. Then we'll see how things go and decide whether to switch to the underground or continue in the inner area."

In FPS games, a player's individual skill level is dynamic.

Most professional players have a high floor, but their ceiling fluctuates greatly.

When a professional player gets hotter and hotter, that's definitely the last thing their opponents want to see—because their potential will also increase within the limits of their talent, and they might even perform exceptionally well and break through the limitations of their talent.

"No problem," everyone agreed.

But just then, S1mple glanced at his starting position and suddenly said, "Give me a quick-down pipe cigarette."

Ok?
The NAVI members were all taken aback when they heard this.

Starting the game as a solo player going down the pipe?
Isn't this too risky?
After a moment's thought, Fatty quickly realized the intention behind S1mple's smoke.

At the start, a single person can quickly enter the pipeline using a smoke extraction method. Although the risk is extremely high, the potential rewards are also enormous.

If they can open up the game on the iron plate, then S1mple, who is in the pipe, can coordinate from the inside and outside. Whether it's blocking the CTs from returning to defend through the pipe, immediately counter-attacking the CTs at K1 outside the field, or suddenly launching a counter-attack inside the field, they can create a huge advantage for the team.

Of course, the difficulty of this tactic lies not in going down into the pipe itself, but in what happens after you get down there.

那个位置基本是孤立无援的，很可能会面临1V1、1V2甚至1V3的极端情况。

This means that the person who executes this tactic must possess extremely strong personal abilities and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances!
And obviously,
S1mple is such a person who can create miracles.

But... is this really okay?
Fatball was a little apprehensive, but seeing S1mple's determined eyes, he decided to trust the team's core player and give it a try.

6657 live broadcast room.

"Here it comes! The first rifle round for both sides in Nuclear Crisis! Because they only bought the Desert Eagle during the previous force buy, after the eco round, S1mple has enough economy to buy an AWP! What do you say? Should we try to sneak out and get the first kill?"

While they were playing with the machine, they suddenly noticed that Fatball and Perfecto started by throwing two smoke grenades from the terrorist base.

One seal to block the main entrance!

One... it's a cigarette from the bandits' quick-release pipe!
"Huh? Is NAVI going to send someone down the pipe this time? Oh! They really are!"

Amidst the exclamations of those playing the machine, S1mple immediately blew open the iron gate with a grenade at the start of the game. Then, using that precise and quick smoke grenade, he flashed and crawled directly down into the pipe!

At this moment, Xiao Li, who was responsible for guarding the area near the main gate, also heard the noise from the direction of the pipe.

As expected of a commander with an academic background, Little Li reacted instantly.

Although he wasn't sure who went down, he immediately deduced the opponent's intention in going down the pipe at the start of the game, which was most likely to coordinate with the main attack direction to attack underground.

At this moment, the opposing team only blocked the main entrance with smoke, but not the outer field, which means that the main direction of their attack is likely not the outer field.

So……

Upon realizing this, Little Li, having obtained this crucial information, immediately issued a loud warning over the voice message:

"Watch out, metal plate! The other side might be about to blast the ground from the metal plate!"

Meng Lang was scouting the connection point of the iron plate ramp when he heard Xiao Li's reminder. Instead of stubbornly confronting it, he reacted quickly and threw the smoke grenade in his hand directly into the iron plate connection passage!

Poof!
The smoke instantly filled the air, blocking T's view of the direct assault on the iron plate from the bandit's quarters.

Under normal circumstances, when facing a strong attack from the Ts, the CTs will definitely hold the smoke screen and wait for support.

But Meng Lang is no ordinary person.

After he sealed the cigarette, a sudden thought struck him, and a jolt of fear made him sense a hint of danger.

So, in the one or two seconds that the smoke spread, he aimed at the smoke and checked it twice!

The next second, without hesitation, Meng Lang pulled the trigger directly at the area of ​​smoke!
Puff puff puff—!
The bullets from the M4A1 whistled out!

The fat ball, who was walking at the front and holding a flashbang ready to coordinate with his teammates' attack, never expected the opponent to so decisively use smoke. Before he could react, he was killed by the sudden bullet while still in the smoke!
G2-Dark used an M4A1 to kill NAVI-Boombl4 through smoke.

The kill notification in the upper right corner of the screen seemed to instantly trigger some less pleasant memories for the NAVI players.

Suddenly, Marshal P, Brother B, and Brother Electronic, who were following behind, stopped almost reflexively, no longer daring to rush forward!
The player exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Dark! He didn't even say 'yes'! He got the first kill with a smoke grenade!"

"So what does NAVI say now? Actually, they could have just pushed forward. An M4A1 only has 25 rounds per magazine, and Dark has already used up almost half of his magazine while using smoke. He can't hold off too many people. NAVI could have used a flashbang and forced their way into the smoke from a gun position!"

"But wait! NAVI didn't rush! Seeing that familiar kill ID, they stopped! They started backing up!"

"My God! This scene... seems so familiar! Dark, with a cigarette and an M4, looks like he's holding off an entire enemy force!"

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments:
"666666!"

"I've seen this scene before!"

"One person can form an army? That's outrageous!"

"Holy crap! Dark's smoke is totally mesmerizing! Is it really on?"

"Dark: You don't really think only you and the director can see X-rays, do you?"

"Hilarious, when Dark starts gesturing at the smoke!"

"."

The man playing the game chuckled at the comments, then calmly analyzed, "Actually, NAVI's choice to play it safe is understandable. Their attack was thwarted right from the start, and they weren't sure how many people were behind the smoke, or if G2's m0NESY on the third floor had already come to support. If it were just Dark, their smoke-flash charge would likely have been successful. But if Kid is also there, the iron plate will probably become a 'mysterious feeding port,' feeding one after another. In that case, S1mple, the top player who just got some free firing rights, will probably be in red zone again."

Playing on the machine reminded me of the early rounds of the first half, when my teammates would frequently "reward" S1mple with a 1v5 clutch situation, and I couldn't help but let out my signature "hehehe" laugh.

But as he was smiling, a kill notification suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of the screen without warning!

[NAVI-s1mple kills G2-Aleksib with a knife]

The director quickly cut to the underground pipe area, where Leonardo DiCaprio's character was lying in a pool of blood, and S1mple's knife was still dripping blood!

Although the director didn't capture the whole thing, the experienced commentator, Wanji, quickly imagined the scene: "Oh no! After S1mple went down the pipe, he made a fake move, pretending to go towards K1, and then quietly crept back! Little Li wanted to go down and 'catch him like a turtle in a jar,' but he ran right into S1mple who had turned around and got stabbed!"

At this point, Wanji couldn't help but smack his lips: "It seems that S1mple originally intended to go down underground to support his teammates in the iron plate, but Dark put too much pressure on them in the iron plate. One smoke stunt trapped the main NAVI force in the terrorist building, preventing them from going down. So S1mple changed his plan and came back up to try and attack the inner area."

"This wave... is essentially Dark's dominance on the iron plate, which indirectly killed Li Shen, who wanted to push forward to get information."

"Haha, okay, just kidding. But that's how things are in CS:GO, one thing can have far-reaching consequences, a change in one point can immediately trigger a chain reaction." "The good news is, Li Shen's use of his body to scout the area has confirmed S1mple's intention to rotate to A. Old Ni and his cousin have quickly arrived near the iron gate and are guarding the pipe exit. NAVI now has to rebuild their tactics. Will they wait for the smoke from the iron plate to dissipate and continue their hard attack, or…"

"Huh? Wait a minute? S1mple... he actually dared to hang a ladder and climb up! His cousin huNter is right in front of him at the pipe opening!"

I couldn't help but laugh while playing with the machine.

"This is interesting! It seems S1mple was planning a surprise attack. But when he went up there, he thought, 'Holy crap! Where am I? Why are there two guns pointed at me...'"

"My cousin and Old Ni are in position! Time to play whack-a-mole!"

"Wait! What?!"

While he was playing with the machine, his voice suddenly rose sharply, as if he had been choked!

Bang-!
The heavy, penetrating sound of the AWP sniper rifle exploded with a deafening roar!

The next second, a kill notification appeared:

[NAVI-s1mple kills G2-huNter- with a blind-fire AWP]

The camera quickly panned to the pipe opening!

S1mple suddenly and lightning fast Peeked from the pipe opening, firing a blind shot in the instant before his body was fully extended and his vision was even unclear!
The bullet, as if guided by precision, took away huNter- who didn't even have time to fire!

Then he quickly shrank back!
But shrink down

It wasn't to escape.

The phrase "know when to stop"
It never exists in S1mple's dictionary.

The instant he ducked down, he quickly cocked his AWP while hanging on the ladder!
Immediately, almost without any pause,

Another Repeek!

At this moment, NiKo was focused on positioning the pipe opening, his body subconsciously leaning forward, trying to finish off the enemy.

He might have expected the other party to dare to repeek, but he definitely didn't expect... the other party to be so quick!
Bang-!
The second AWP shot rang out almost immediately after the first one!
[NAVI-s1mple uses a blind-fire AWP to kill G2-NiKo]

"Wow! My God! S1mple! He was hanging on a ladder! He blind-fired two shots in a row! And he actually hit two!" The voice of the machine operator was filled with unbelievable shock!
"Stop! This isn't CS:GO!"

"The position of blind sniping from the ladder at the pipe opening shouldn't have this kind of ridiculous accuracy! But S1mple actually peeked out and killed someone! I'm totally dumbfounded!"

The fans of NAVI and S1mple in the live stream went wild instantly!

The screen was flooded with comments like "Holy crap!", "Awesome!", and "Senpo's awake!"

"This is a fucking violent lock!"

"This is the real S1mple! Dad! Are you finally awake?"

"Wow! Those two shots were terrifying! A visual feast!"

The commentator, speaking at lightning speed, continued: "Now it seems like NAVI's teammates don't even need to rotate the metal plate anymore! They can just bomb the inner area from the yellow house! Right now, the CTs only have one kid, m0NESY, on the third floor of the A bombsite in the inner area... But wait! What? He killed the kid too!"

Amidst the exclamations of those playing with the machines, S1mple, after a blind-fire double kill, climbed onto the pipe and, wielding a sniper rifle, strode forward towards bomb site A!

The sniper scope's field of vision searched as quickly as a falcon's, and the moment it caught sight of m0NESY's figure on the third floor, the muzzle of the gun suddenly flicked in a "dragon head" style!
Bang-!
The third sniper bullet burst out!

m0NESY didn't even have time to fire a single shot before being taken down by this quick-scoping shot!
Four kills!

The Antwerp stadium erupted in cheers!
Countless NAVI fans jumped up from their seats, waving their support items, and the trumpeter once again blew his rousing trumpet with all his might!

"My God! There's something weird!"

"What's going on?! We were supposed to play whack-a-mole, but the moles killed everyone instead!"

"This top player first made two absolutely ridiculous blind shots while hanging on the ladder, and then his final god-like dragon head flick shot was terrifying! A quad kill instantly wiped out all the CTs' defenses at the A bombsite inside the site! Wow—! This S1mple AWP shot was simply outrageous! Simply unbelievable!"

"Now his teammates don't even need bombs anymore; they can just move in with their bags packed!"

"What about G2? They only have Dark left! Now he's facing a 1v4 situation, and a peak S1mple who has suddenly awakened and is on fire!"

"How are we supposed to fight this? Oh! Li Shen just called for a gun save."

"There's nothing more to say, this is a classic case of each person taking one point!"

"You crushed me with your personal abilities, and I'll retaliate with my own!"

Soon, the countdown for the C4 bomb ended.

In the fifth round, NAVI, who had lost four consecutive points, finally won back a point thanks to S1mple's stunning quad kill performance!
The score became 4-1.

S1mple made a domineering gesture towards the camera lens, his face full of arrogance and unruliness!
The fans at the scene immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers and shouts once again!

On the NAVI playing area.

The team members also gave S1mple a big high-five, instantly dispelling the oppressive atmosphere.

Behind him, B1ad3 breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his team finally catch up with a point and stop the losing streak.

Nuclear Crisis is a map where CT has a clear advantage. In the first half, as the offensive team, the biggest fear is losing points consecutively, resulting in only managing three or four points going into the second half.

In that case, even if the team switches to defense in the second half, it will be difficult to close the huge score gap.

However, B1ad3 had only just begun to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have appeared so relieved in front of the camera. He quickly straightened his face and resumed his serious demeanor.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the G2 players' booth was somewhat somber as they listened to the deafening cheers for S1mple and NAVI that erupted once again.

"I placed my bet a little too hastily this time."

Leonardo DiCaprio took the initiative to take responsibility, his tone filled with remorse.

Indeed, with Meng Lang securing the first kill at the start and having a significant advantage, his decision as commander to risk pushing down the pipe ahead seemed somewhat rash.

Perhaps he made the wrong judgment because he scored the first 4 points too easily and heard the other side's footsteps as they went down the pipe and left.

"It's okay, we all had problems this time."

Old Ni and his cousin exchanged a glance. The two who were playing "whack-a-mole" ended up being killed by "whack-a-mole" themselves could only smile wryly.

NiKo added, reminding his teammates, "We need to be careful from now on. NAVI is known for being slow to start and extremely resilient. If they find their rhythm, especially players like S1mple, I feel it will be very difficult to play against them."

"Yes." Little Li nodded in agreement, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to rapidly formulate a strategy for the next round in his mind.

6657 live broadcast room.

"There's not much to say about the last game; it was purely a test of individual player skill. S1mple, with his signature, unconventional style, showed everyone why he's the top-ranked player," Wanji summarized.
"The good news is that G2 still has money left in this round, so they can play another long-range round."

"So this long-range round is crucial! If G2 loses again, their economy will completely collapse, and top teams like NAVI, who are slow starters, will be very vulnerable once they get going and find their rhythm. We'll probably see them quickly enter a terrifying comeback phase!"

"And there's more bad news: Dark has reached the sixth round, and as a CT, he hasn't been able to use his best weapon, the AK-47, which is a significant weakening for G2's firepower."

"Let's take a look! On this point, Li Shen has Dark switched to the outside with the M4A1. It seems he judged that NAVI hit the wall but failed to score in the last point, so he might give up on the wall point this time."

"But NAVI's side... wait! What? NAVI is going to have to play a tough game again!"

On camera, S1mple, wielding a sniper rifle, took the lead, quietly making his way from the connector towards the metal plate!

"Wow! The top player on the leaderboard is personally leading the charge! He's going to attack your strongest and toughest defense! But Dark is on the outside! Can Lee Shen defend against the red-hot S1mple?... Absolutely not!!!"

Suddenly, his voice rose as he played with the machine!
The director's camera focused on the metal plate, where Leonardo DiCaprio was seen holding a smoke grenade and observing the slope of the plate, trying to gather information.

However, S1mple's sniper rifle was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, seizing a tiny opportunity to fire a single shot!
The bullet pierced through the thin wall and accurately hit Leonardo DiCaprio in the head, taking him away!

[NAVI-s1mple uses an AWP to deliver a penetrating headshot and kill G2-Aleksib]

The morale of everyone in the NAVI booth was greatly boosted when they saw this man get another crucial first kill!
Big B, b1t, took the lead and charged straight down the iron plate, expanding his gains.

On the other side of the field, Meng Lang, seeing that things were not going well, also hurriedly entered through the main gate, preparing to go down the tunnel to defend.

My cousin huNter followed closely behind.

At the start of the round, NiKo, who had been sneaking into the aircraft position below K1 by using the smoke grenades in the outer field from the direction of the police spawn, quickly came down from K1 to try to defend.

m0NESY stayed on the third floor to observe, wary that NAVI might be trying to bait them into a trap before reversing and attacking point A.

But this possibility was quickly ruled out.

After breaking through the metal plate and entering the inner area, NAVI skillfully set up their guns and smoked, and planted the C4 directly at the underground B bomb site!

Seeing that things were not going well, the child quickly came down from the third floor to prepare to defend the area.

He was very cautious, wary that T might leave someone behind to cover their retreat after taking down the iron plate.

So he took up his sniper rifle and cautiously advanced slowly.

Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, a figure flashed in the direction of the iron plate, and B1T pulled out in a big move!
boom!
One AK bullet, a precise headshot!

"Wow! One second!" the gamer exclaimed. "Big B pulled out and ripped the kid with the sniper rifle to shreds! He knew the kid would come back from this side to defend, and a bullet hit him right between the eyebrows! This was a bullet... from his childhood friend!"

"Hey! Old Ni's been caught up too!"

"After S1mple, the top player, went underground, he immediately counter-positioned K1! To prevent the CTs from rotating back from K1!"

"What do you mean? Is Old Ni going to 'agree' again this time? Can he rediscover his invincible self at K1?"

"Wait! What? He tore S1mple's sniper rifle apart with his bare hands!"

On camera, NiKo performed his signature "mysterious ritual" against the wall while dismounting from the K1, then seized a fleeting opportunity, pulled out, and fired a precise headshot, killing S1mple who was setting up his gun!

G2-NiKo used an M4A4 to headshot and kill NAVI-s1mple.

"Wow! So this is NiKo! NiKo, who has absolute authority in K1!"

"This time he disagrees!"

"But wait! What? Old Ni agreed again?"

The machine suddenly widened its eyes!
NiKo, who had just come down from the K1 pre-aiming point and had been hit by a flashbang, was taken out by electronic, who had been pulled out from the K1 corridor, with a burst of AK fire as he moved out of the way!

At the same time, huNter-, who was trying to sneak into the control room by going down the pipe, was arrested by Boombl4, the fat ball watching the control room from the B ramp, as soon as he quietly walked up!

[NAVI-Boombl4 killed G2-huNter- with an AK-47]

In the blink of an eye, G2, which had just gained some momentum because NiKo had defeated S1mple, suddenly saw their fortunes plummet again!
The situation on the field instantly turned into a desperate 1v4 situation for Meng Lang.

The script is the same as the previous one.

They're practically identical!
"Another unsolvable situation! Dark needs to save his weapon, but it feels like G2's momentum from the first half is about to disappear!"

He shook his head and sighed while playing with the machine.

At this moment, Meng Lang arrived at the small room outside the Death Gate, which is commonly known as the restroom.

He squatted quietly, listening to the sounds outside, seemingly hesitant to open the door.

In the English-language commentary booth inside the venue.

One of the commentators, clearly a fan of Senpo, was extremely excited.

He said in a teasing tone:
"Oh! Look at that poor guy! He's all alone again! Should we save our guns this time?"

"We have no choice but to save our guns! The outcome of this round is already decided! Aleksib even covered his face, unable to bear this familiar scene! Because he gave away the crucial first kill in this round!"

"Even more devastating is that G2 will be completely broke in the next round! S1mple has already sounded the horn for NAVI to catch up!"

"The bomb is about to explode! Run, young man! They're looking for you!"

"If you don't run now, you might not even be able to keep this poor M4A1!"

Some Chinese viewers watching the match on the official channel were immediately annoyed and flooded the chat with comments after hearing the commentator's "neutral" remarks.

"??? What ingredient is this explaining?"

"Is NAVI your real father? That's way too neutral!"

"Don't mind it, that's how foreign commentators are, they emphasize authenticity."

"Didn't you boast so much during the Dark Show? You've changed your tune so quickly."

"."

However, just as the English commentator finished his joking remark,
Meng Lang, who had been counting down the seconds behind the dead end and seemed to have given up the struggle, suddenly moved!
He kicked open the door and charged out like a cheetah!

Outside the door was Boombl4, who had been holding a gun at the B bomb site and now thought that Meng Lang would probably save his gun like he did in the previous round. He was preparing to retreat before the C4 exploded!

In this nuclear map, the bombs are incredibly powerful; you have to leave beforehand.

They met on a narrow path!
In fact, the moment he heard the sound of the dead door opening, Fatty Ball had already subconsciously turned around!
But his reaction,
In the end, we were still a step too slow!
Puff puff!
Da da da—!
The two lines of fire crossed in an instant!

Meng Lang's M4A1 burst into deadly flames, and the bullets accurately sprayed onto the fat ball, sending it flying sideways!
G2-Dark used an M4A1 to kill NAVI-Boombl4

The next second, hurried footsteps came from the direction of the trapdoor—it was the Marshal coming to provide support after hearing the gunshot from the dead door.

Meng Lang, however, did not hesitate at all. The moment he killed Fat Ball, he used his sense of touch and sound to judge the direction of the exit gate with a smooth sweeping motion!
M4A1 bullets poured out, followed by another P Marshal who had just entered the room!

G2-Dark used an M4A1 to kill NAVI-Perfecto.

Live stream room 6657!
"Oh my god! Dark! He fought his way out of the gate of death!"

"He said he wants to try again! He refuses to keep the gun!"

The volume of the machine suddenly increased!

"So what do we say about this? He doesn't have much time left! Dark threw a smoke grenade right at the bomb site, creating a one-way smoke vision! Is he trying to fake a defuse to lure people out?"

drop--!
Da da da--!
Iron plate direction,

Electronic Brother, who had switched positions with Big B to avoid the bomb explosion at the metal plate, heard the bomb being defused and, sensing something was wrong, immediately grabbed his AK and rushed back to defend!
As everyone knows,
Meng Lang is just a fake!
Electronic Bro had just pulled out of the iron plate and started firing a burst of gunfire into the smoke when Meng Lang's M4A1, through the smoke, followed the gunfire and fired a precise counter-shot!

The remaining 8 bullets were instantly sprayed out!

"Wow! Dark's smoke screen! Electronic's been completely out of ammo by Dark! But he...'s out of bullets on his M4A1!"

Puff puff!
However, the next second, something happened that left everyone speechless!

Meng Lang immediately switched to his USP pistol and, through the lingering smoke, calmly and quickly fired three shots at Electronic Bro's approximate location!
The next second, another kill notification appeared!

G2-Dark used a USP to headshot and kill NAVI-electroNic.

Three kills!

"Oh! Another one! He switched to his USP pistol and forcefully killed the low-health Electronic Guy!"

The machine's speech speed is explosive!
"But Big B, who had just come down from the iron plate to do the inventory in the K1 direction, also heard the commotion and came back! The hatch was open! Big B came up and, without thinking twice, started spraying AK bullets into the smoke at the bomb site! He was completely defiant!"

"Dark got shot and his health is very low! Big B's health is full! A pistol can't possibly beat a fully armored AK!"

"Dark, are you going to reload the M4A1? There's no time! The C4 beeping is getting more and more urgent!"

"Oh! He didn't reload! He just used the smoke as cover to pick up the AK-47 that Fatty Ball had dropped on the ground!"

Accompanied by the excited, almost hysterical sound of playing the machine!
The next second, Meng Lang, who had just picked up the AK, suddenly darted out from the side of the smoke!

With his AK-47 pointed towards the hatch, he fired a single, precise shot!

boom!
A flash of gunfire!
One fatal shot in a second!

The bullet instantly tore through Big B's skull, knocking him down immediately!
G2-Dark used an AK-47 to headshot and kill NAVI-b1t.

Four kills!

All of this is complicated to explain.
But from Meng Lang kicking open the dead door, sweeping with the M4A1 to kill both Fat Ball and Marshal P, to using the M4+USP to counter Electronic Bro, and then picking up the AK to kill Big B Bro with a single shot.
All the operations happened in the blink of an eye!
The weapon switching is so fast, it's dazzling!
At this moment, Meng Lang did not stop and immediately turned around and rushed towards C4!

He has pliers on him!

As soon as I pressed my finger on the defuse device, the countdown began to tick rapidly!
"Time!! Is that enough?!"

The players and all the audience members were on the edge of their seats.

With just 0.11 seconds left in the countdown to the C4 explosion, the bomb defusal progress bar finally filled up!
[The CT team has won!]

"Wow—! Just enough time!"

He got so excited playing the machine that he jumped up from his chair, slammed his hands on the table, and roared with all his might:

"Extreme! This is too extreme!"

"But Dark did it!"

"Superhuman awareness! Explosive marksmanship! This chosen one of G2 refused to save his weapon! He fought his way out of the gate of death, a symbol of despair! He used every weapon imaginable! M4 spraying and spinning while shrouded in smoke, USP finishing blows, AK one-shot kills! He slashed his way through the gate of survival like a dragon!"

"He single-handedly wiped out four enemies! He single-handedly saved G2 from the brink of defeat, from a desperate situation!"

"The path to life lies beyond the gate of death!"

"He has found the only solution to this puzzle!"

In an instant!
The vast Antwerp Arena,
The countless viewers, whose blood was pumping from this tense and exciting endgame, suddenly erupted with a roar that was even more explosive and frenzied than the previous point!
