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

Chapter 138 I Tested! So he really was practicing his shooting? (Two chapters combined, 10,000 words)

IEM Cologne,

It enjoys an extraordinary status in the CS esports field.

Its rich and long history, its competitive level representing the highest standard of non-official tournaments, and the unique, pilgrimage-like atmosphere of the Langess Arena in Cologne, Germany, have all contributed to its prestigious reputation as one of the "three super-premium CSGO tournaments," and it is even revered by countless players and competitors as the "fifth major tournament"!
Its competitive level is considered the pinnacle of non-Major events, and the championship trophy is a landmark honor that defines the historical status of a player or a team, with its prestige being unanimously recognized by the global community.

More importantly, the competition results are also the core reference for selecting the annual TOP1 player. Undoubtedly, winning the championship or the MVP will greatly enhance the candidate's weight and competitiveness in the annual TOP1 competition.

For Meng Lang,

This is one of the key battlefields for him to fulfill his promise and reach the pinnacle.

The qualifying rounds officially began three days later at the officially designated hotel.

The competition is tightly scheduled, lasting two days.

The tournament uses a classic and brutal double-elimination format, with the 16 participating teams clearly divided into two paths: the winners' bracket and the losers' bracket.

Teams that lose in the first round will not be eliminated directly, but will fall into the loser's bracket, but will still retain a glimmer of hope.

The winners' bracket qualifying matches and the losers' bracket do-or-die matches are crucial moments – winning the winners' bracket guarantees advancement to the next stage of the group stage, while losing the losers' bracket means being eliminated from this year's Cologne tournament.

This format reduces the chance of strong teams being upset due to poor performance in a single match, giving top teams some leeway. The competition is held online, and each team can complete the competition in a dedicated soundproof room in the hotel.

When the plane landed at Cologne-Bonn Airport, it was the height of summer in Germany in July. The sun was shining brightly but not hot at all, and the breeze along the Rhine River dispelled the fatigue of the long flight.

The Falcon team arrived at the five-star hotel arranged by the organizers, which will be their home and battlefield for the foreseeable future.

The first thing to do after settling down was naturally to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Cologne boasts a rich and unique culinary culture, quite different from the stereotypical image of German cuisine.

Snappi, the Danish veteran, clearly knew the place well and enthusiastically suggested taking everyone to try a traditional dish made with blood sausage, fried onions, and apple puree.

On the table.

m0NESY poked at the dark, bloody sausage on the plate with a fork, her brow furrowed, as if conducting a complex scientific experiment.

"Is this...is this really edible?" he asked Meng Lang in a low voice, his English heavily accented with Russian.

Meng Lang, on the other hand, seemed to be adapting well. He had already cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth. After savoring it, he nodded: "Not bad, salty with a hint of sweetness, the texture is very unique. You can think of it as a kind of... well, a sausage with a unique flavor."

The child, half-believing and half-doubting, also took a bite, then his eyes lit up, and he mumbled, "Hmm, it seems... kind of delicious!"

Niko has a particular fondness for Cologne beer, a pale ale that can only be brewed in the Cologne region, served in a distinctive tall, narrow glass, and has a refreshing taste.

Despite being jokingly referred to as a "retirement dream team" by outsiders, Niko's eyes burned brighter than ever when he returned to Cologne.

He looked at Meng Lang, a boy nearly ten years younger than himself, who was patiently teaching m0NESY how to properly eat German pork knuckle—first cut open the crispy skin with a knife, and then enjoy the tender and juicy meat inside.

Niko's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

He recalled the chemistry he had with Meng Lang and the children during his time in G2.

Meng Lang is like a sponge, absorbing everything from the competition and growing wildly!
His composure!

And explosive power in crucial moments!
He always manages to bring surprises to the team.

A child's talent is readily apparent; what they need is guidance and protection.

With a team like this, they're sure to give some people an unexpected surprise in Cologne this time!
After the meal, the three of them took a walk along the Rhine River to digest their food.

The setting sun bathed the river in gold, while the Cologne Cathedral stood majestically in the distance. Many fans who recognized them approached to greet them warmly and ask for photos, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"The feeling here... is very different from that in Riya."

Meng Lang looked at the pleasure boats on the river and said softly.

"Yeah, the air here smells like CS." Niko took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I'm back."

Children are more interested in the various souvenirs and snacks sold on the roadside.
They exclaimed in amazement every now and then!
Night came,

The training room in the hotel was brightly lit.

After a day of training, most teammates choose to relax and rest, either going for a walk together or watching movies or playing other games in their rooms.

However, there will always be one figure who remains until the end, and that is Meng Lang.

The newly appointed head coach, zonic, one of the most legendary coaches in CS history with four Major championships, was genuinely surprised when he first encountered this scene.

He leaned against the doorframe, watching Meng Lang alone in the deathmatch server, mechanically and intently repeating the actions of locating, stopping, and firing.

The constant kill notifications popping up on the screen contrasted sharply with the expressionless face on his lips.

His diligence,

This surprised even the new coach, Zonik.

Zonick immediately thought of the rampant rumors circulating outside.

Some say that Meng Lang became a legend after winning the Antwerp Major, taking home the championship and MVP, but then lost his way and spent his days indulging in the lavish parties of Middle Eastern tycoons, indulging in pleasure.
Some people even spoke with absolute certainty,
It's said that he probably forgot the promise he made in the interview, that promise to reach the top as a rifleman was just a fleeting moment of youthful arrogance.

Zonick's expression immediately turned somewhat strange. The stark contrast between the rumors and reality gave him a completely new understanding of this 18-year-old boy.

Actually, this is not easy at all.

For professional players, the biggest challenge is never performing amazing plays under the spotlight, but rather doing those tedious but correct things day after day when no one is watching.

After all, when you're on a stage under the spotlight, every decision you make, every shot you fire, whether it's a carry or a crime, is clear to the entire world.

That invisible pressure will force you to bring out your best.

But offstage, in those late nights without cheers or cameras, when loneliness and exhaustion strike, whether one can still persevere in doing something—that is the true touchstone for testing professional spirit.

It's no wonder that even the well-informed Zonik was amazed by this.

Throughout his illustrious coaching career, he has witnessed countless talented players who, upon winning their first Major title, feel as if they have accomplished some ultimate mission, and the tension in their hearts suddenly bursts away.

Training became lax, performance declined, and he eventually faded into obscurity.

A contestant like Meng Lang, who, after reaching a peak, not only did not slacken but instead became even more determined and demanding of himself, is extremely rare.

Zuo Nick couldn't help but recall the words Meng Lang spoke to the camera after winning the Major, words that were slightly childish yet incredibly firm.

This child,

He wasn't just talking nonsense.

He is truly using his own hands, with every drop of sweat, to work step by step towards fulfilling his promise.

He couldn't help but think that when the next competition officially begins, those people with prejudiced views online will probably be really shocked.

7 month 4 day.

The qualifying round schedule was finally announced the day before the competition began.

Falcon's opponent in the first round of the qualifying rounds was MouZ, a long-established European club known as the "Whampoa Military Academy of esports" and a "cradle of stars".

Top stars currently active in various prestigious CS teams, such as ropz, karrigan, and even Niko himself from the Falcons, were all "graduates" of the MOUZ team. They always have an amazing eye for discovering and nurturing highly promising newcomers.

In the recent roster changes
With core player frozen transferring to FaZe Clan, MOUZ made decisive internal adjustments. They demoted their former in-game leader dexter, promoted the talented rifler xertioN from the youth academy, and brought in the young in-game leader siuhy from GL.

MOUZ's current roster is:

torzsi, Bymas, JDC, xertioN, siuhy.

This is a young team almost entirely developed through their own youth training system, brimming with unlimited potential and impact.

In particular, the team's sniper torzsi, rifleman xertioN, and new commander siuhy have all shown the style of the original star!
He is hailed as a "rising star" by the community.

After the schedule was announced,
The pre-match media day was exceptionally lively.

MOUZ's sniper, Torzsi, is a young Hungarian man with a somewhat bookish appearance and distinctive small round glasses.

He appeared unusually optimistic during the interview, smiling throughout.

When the host asked him if he felt nervous about facing Falcons, who had Dark, the MVP of the previous Major, he replied...
torzsi laughed even more heartily.

"Nervous? Maybe a few months ago,"

He shrugged and said casually, "Right now, we don't think Falcons is a team to be particularly wary of. After all, they're a completely new team, and there will definitely be issues with team synergy. And, for some... well, well..."

He gave the camera a knowing, sly smile and continued, "So, you know what I mean. We'll focus more of our efforts on studying teams like Vitality that truly have the potential to contend for the championship."

The implication is clear: in their minds, Falcons do not have the strength to compete for the Cologne Major, so why should they be nervous?

After the interview was simultaneously broadcast on the Perfect World eSports community in China, it immediately sparked countless discussions, with even more voices mocking and questioning Falcon.

Soon after, Falcons captain Snappi gave an interview the day before the match. When asked about his thoughts on the team's rookie Dark, Snappi showered him with praise.

"Dark is an incredibly hardworking player; he's been practicing his shooting like crazy! His talent is undeniable, and it's an honor to be his teammate. I'm ready to lift the championship trophy with him again."

This is actually Snappi's heartfelt honest opinion.

In his view, the child was already considered an internet addict and had worked very hard in training, but Meng Lang was even worse.

That desire for victory and focus was something even he, a veteran of fourteen years in the professional gaming world, admired.

In fact, at Snappi's age, he finds it hard to understand why these young people can maintain such high energy and unwavering dedication to the game, but he is deeply moved and inspired.

He was simply expressing his most genuine feelings.

However, this sincere interview, when it reached the ears of the vast CS community, was met with ridicule from many:
"Is it really necessary for a commander to be so obsequious?"

"Those who know are teammates, but those who don't might think Dark is your boss."

"Diligently practicing shooting? Does that mean attending all sorts of banquets hosted by Middle Eastern tycoons? That's certainly quite diligent, hahaha."

"Enough of that. I just hope he'll still know how to shoot when he's killing rats tomorrow."

“Snappi is getting old and has started to learn to say polite things.”

The next day, July 7st.

The IEM Cologne Play-In Stage has officially begun.

Whether it was intentional on the part of the organizers or not, the Falcon vs. Mouse match was scheduled as the first game of the day.

As the most watched team after the Antwerp Major transfer window, Falcons were placed in the opening match, obviously to maximize viewership.

In fact, the organizers did achieve their goal.

The play-in stage is now in the round of 16, which is not yet the main event in Cologne. However, today, the live streams of the world's top CS streamers, including Gaules from Twitch, the top Brazilian streamer, as well as the official live streams of various game genres, are experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity!

Everyone wanted to see how this "newly crowned Major champion core lineup," which hadn't appeared in an official match for over a month and was the subject of countless discussions, would perform in their debut.
Niko and the kid chose to join the Falcon, a "rich club," forming a so-called "retirement team." How much of their former strength do they actually have left?
Before the game starts.

In Gaules's live stream, the atmosphere had already reached its peak.

Gaules himself, a highly influential streamer in the Brazilian and global CS community, is jokingly commenting in his signature exaggerated tone:

"Guys! Look! This is our Major MVP Dark! Look at him and his Falcon teammates! They've spent the last month in Riyadh enjoying the smell of dollars, swimming pools, and parties! I bet the stuff on their mice isn't sweat, it's caviar oil!"

"To be honest, after not playing a real match for over a month, I really don't know if they can maintain even 50% of their form. I have a feeling that this new team called Falcons might 'break through the bottom line' today! After all, this is their first time participating in a tournament of Cologne's caliber! Let's wait and see!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:
"Hahaha! Well said! They've probably even forgotten how to hold a mouse!"

"The Money Falcons aren't ready for real CS yet, go back to your yacht!"

"Niko finally got a big contract, who cares about winning or losing now?"

"Waiting to see them get their comeuppance! Hopefully, they won't lose too badly."

"Go Rat Team! Take down this mercenary group!"

"."

domestic.

6657, a live stream of an "old man" in China playing with machines.

The atmosphere here is much more complex, filled with various memes and references:

"Yay! Today we can finally watch Nini, Haihai, and Heihei's match!"

"I remember now! I'm not G-Mei! I'm not Nami! I! I'm the Eagle Spirit!"

"The Era of Eagle Spirits! Exciting Expectations!"

"I opened my right fist and transformed into a dragon! The seafood surged and throbbed restlessly! All the eagle spirits had only one expression: Awaiting the hero! I am that dragon!"

"Traitor, get out of here! Traitor, get out of here!"

"Who's the traitor? Who's the traitor? Doesn't the true G2 lineage know about Falcon?!"

"Hahaha! The thought that my close friends, who used to be like family, will split into 'eagle spirits' and 'group members' who are constantly arguing with each other makes me laugh!"

"Am I the only one who cares about where my little Nini and Heihei have been all this time? I'm a female college student who came to the competition with my makeup still on, and I've been waiting for a month and haven't seen anything!"

"Given the current state of Little Bee, I feel like Nini Haihai Heihei's new team is in danger!"

"Don't worry about it being that far away, the little bees don't play in the qualifying rounds (lol)."

"The whole live stream is like a suffocating barrage of comments trying to get the streamer's attention. Aren't there any girls like me who are actually watching the game? Go Nini, Heihei!"

After playing with the machine and being fed the last bite of a tea egg by its "caretaker," Sister Yu, he glanced at the barrage of comments flooding the live stream.

He couldn't help but joke:
"There's nothing we can do. Falcon didn't play in the first two tournaments. It just shows that the value of the oil companies' prize money is still rising. They don't even look at tournaments with such low prize money. But thinking about it carefully, Dark and Old Ni really made the right choice in their transfer teams. The treatment they received is absolutely amazing!"

At this point, he used a vivid analogy:
"If it were you, think about it. You found a company, just started working there, didn't do anything, didn't even play a single game, and were immediately put on paid leave for more than a month!"

"That's not all. The company's biggest boss takes you to all sorts of top Middle Eastern tycoons' dinner parties every day to build connections. How about that treatment?"

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments again:
"Stop talking! I'm so jealous! Is it too late for me to quit my job and go to Saudi Arabia?"

"This isn't working, it's being treated like royalty!"

"Got it, I'm going to practice CS hard now, aiming for the Falcon team!"

"."

The same country.

Berlin, Germany, G2 Club training base.

Carlos was also watching today's Falcon Play-In Opening Match, and even called over club manager Niak to watch with him.

The manager was called in for a bit of a surprise. G2, as a directly invited team, doesn't need to play in the play-in stage, so why are they so concerned about it?
But when he looked at the two teams on the field today, he immediately realized what was going on.

Seeing Carlos's furious face, Niak couldn't help but advise, "Since things have come to this, let's part ways amicably..."

"What do you mean by 'parting amicably'!"

Carlos angrily snapped his cigar in half with a "bang" and shouted, "They're traitors! They betrayed the club! Just seeing those three faces makes me furious!"

Do you really hate him that much?
The manager silently complained to himself.

When you sold the child and the old man to the Saudis and were counting the money, you weren't this indignant.

Carlos snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the big screen.
I thought:

I'm going to watch you all die today!
at the same time!

Domestically, there is the Perfect World eSports community.

Below the discussion thread for the Falcon vs. Mouse match, betting odds have already been set up, with various opinions emerging:
[No-prize quiz: How many pentakills will Dark get today?]

[Please stop jinxing him, I'm a genuine Dark fan, and I didn't expect him to get a pentakill right away.]

[Nini Haihai and Heihei haven't played a match in a month since joining a new team. If they can just win one game today and make it into the winners' bracket, that'll be great.]

Indeed, it doesn't matter if the victory is ugly.

I'm afraid some guy will come up here and give us a freefall performance, leaving a huge mess.

[Actually, I don't understand Zonik and Magic Man. Why did Falcon buy them?] [Are you kidding me, considering they've won so many Major titles?]

The key point is that a Major title only represents past glory, not current form.

Indeed, they were so bad at playing for Little Bee in the first half of the year that they put Zaiwu in jail for life, but now that they've left the team, Zaiwu is all smiles.

The heated discussions online are like a pot of water about to boil.

Cologne, hotel pre-match lounge.

The chubby coach Zonic looked at the boy who was looking around nervously and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with a smile: "Ilya! Are you nervous about your first match representing the new team?"

"I...I'm actually fine."

The child tried to make his tone sound calm.

Zonic smiled but didn't say anything.

The child's voice wasn't trembling, but his hand holding the mineral water bottle was shaking slightly.

Cologne in July isn't that cold.

To be honest, the child was indeed a little nervous.

He also frequently surfs the internet, where rumors of the Falcons taking "more than a month of paid leave" and "indulging in pleasure" are rampant. Now, apart from the Falcons' main fans, almost no other casual observers or opponents have a high opinion of them.

The child himself was also affected and couldn't help but wonder: After not playing in a formal competition for so long, while other top-ranked teams had already played in two major warm-up tournaments, IEM Dallas and Blast Spring Finals, would he be able to hide again when facing snipers from other teams?

Especially today, facing Torzsi, the main sniper of the Rat team, he always felt uneasy about the guy on the other side who wore round-framed glasses and was always smiling.

Zonic sensed the deep-seated panic in the child's heart.

As a legendary coach, he certainly has some skills, and one of his biggest "skills" right now is his ability to boost morale.

He clapped his hands, drawing the attention of all the team members, and then said in a steady and powerful voice:

"Guys, look at me! I know there have been a lot of voices online over the past month—questions, mockery, even insults. They say we're a retirement team, that we're only together for money, that we've lost our desire to win. Let them say what they want! Because they have no idea how much effort you've put into this game! I, Zonic, have seen it all!"

“Each of you is the best player in the world. Your excellence and talent are undeniable! So forget the noise! ​​Today, we just need to step onto that virtual battlefield, trust each other, and play what we've practiced! Let's shut the whole world up with a victory! Understand?!”

Meng Lang listened and thought to himself:

I have indeed worked quite hard during this period.

"Brother Tongzi, let me see."

He was silent.

A pale blue panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes:
[Host: Meng Lang]

【Age: 18】

[Title: Empty]

[Basic shooting skills (aiming, recoil control, spraying and spinning, flicking): 82.5 (0.5↑)]

[Response (Location, Transient Response, Multi-Target Processing): 93.2 (0.2↑)]

[Awareness (positioning, information processing, offense-defense transition): 84 (12↑)]

[Map: Dust2 (94) Desert City (95) Expand...]

【…】

Clearly, in the past month or so, although to outsiders Meng Lang seemed to be indulging in the "glitz and glamour" of the Middle East, in reality it was just necessary socializing and club arrangements, mostly due to his boss's hospitality. The magnifying effect of the internet distorted everything.

He never stopped training, whether it was extra practice in real life or review and improvement in the system's meditation space.

In one month, his most significant improvement was in [Consciousness], which increased by 12 points. This was thanks to the post-match review training in the meditation space. Moreover, because his starting point was relatively low, the improvement was obvious, much like the significant results in the early stages of weight loss.

Other attributes such as Basic Gun Skills also steadily increased by 0.5.

The most surprising thing is that even his highest stat, which he had previously only achieved by making two "Goat-level plays" recognized by the system—one was a comeback with Glock without armor at the Major, and the other was a head-on 1v5 in the last point of the final—gained two valuable free attribute points, which increased his [Reaction] stat by 2 points to 93!
In this month of pure muscle memory and mental training, I managed to improve by 0.2.

All of this shows that his hard work during this period was not in vain.

Now, it's time to see the results!

At this moment, after Zonic finished speaking, Niko tightened his signature white silk sleeves, took a deep breath, and then shouted:
"Let's go! Falcons!"

"Let's go! Falcons!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with fighting spirit!
The game starts soon.

Under the arrangement of the event organizers, Meng Lang and his team entered the designated hotel competition room, took their seats, and quickly set up their peripherals.

Soon, everyone entered the competition server.

In the ban/pick phase, after two rounds of rapid map banning, MOUZ ultimately banned Nuke, leaving Ancient Ruins as a last resort!
"Oh? You're going to play 'Green Sands II' against G2... wait, no! It's against Falcon?"

In live stream room 6657, a streamer, speaking with an upbeat tone, exclaimed, "The Rat team is really brave today! They even dared to play against Falcons on this map? Did their club's analyst only analyze how strong the Ancient Ruins were during the G2 era, but didn't know that the 'true' G2 players are now on Falcons! All the people who are good at playing Green Sand II have now come to Falcons!"

"Of course, after not playing a formal match for so long, Dark's Green Sand 2 still has some skill. Let's see how it goes next."

"Alright! The match begins, pistol round! The Mouse team starts as T, and the Falcon team starts as CT. Let's take a look at the setups. The Mouse team has a standard full Glock with two sets of utility, while the Falcon team has a USP with one set of utility. Oh? This dual pistols went to Dark! Let's see how the round starts."

"Oh! Falcons on the CT side are using a classic 2-1-2 default defensive formation. Dark is wielding two pistols and is heading straight for the B site's black room!"

MOUZ's competition booth.

The Ancient map is indeed one of their "niche skills" that they have secretly trained on during this period, and their pistol round tactics have been repeatedly practiced and designed.

Commander Siuhy quickly devised a fast-attack tactic.

Under the director's lens!
At the start of the game, xertioN, on the far right of the terrorist spawn point, threw a VIP smoke grenade. The smoke exploded precisely at the VIP entrance, providing cover for the T team members who rushed out of the terrorist spawn point. The aim was to weaken the CT team's Falcon's advantage in long-range gunfights near the middle door using the USP.

At the same time, siuhy himself, positioned second from the left, arrived outside Gate A and launched a jump shot with a deep smoke!
This smoke can not only block CTs from returning from B short to the donut, but also effectively disrupt the defensive rhythm of CTs who might push forward to the donut at the start of the round.

Upon seeing the standard bomb, the player immediately deduced the mouse's offensive intention for this round: "Oh! The mouse started with two smokes, he's going to take the middle lane!"

as predicted!

At the start, torzsi, Bymas, and JDC took advantage of the VIP smoke screen blocking vision and quickly pushed forward into the middle lane.

After throwing out his VIP smoke, xertioN immediately followed the first wave of players, preparing to seize control of the mid lane.

However, just as he passed the donut and the smoke from Siuhy's throw was about to dissipate, he bumped right into Magisk, who was pushing out in front of the donut!

Tie him up!
Glock's gunshot suddenly rang out!

Next second,
Kill notification popped up!

[xertioN uses a Glock to headshot and kill Magisk!]

The player exclaimed in surprise, "No way? The Demon Man was instantly killed by Xie Xun's xertioN Glock the moment the smoke cleared! That was way too fast!"

"The three Ts have already moved out of the middle lane, gaining a numerical advantage and advancing rapidly! At the same time, Siuhy is quietly poking at A site alone. Only Kid and Snappi, who was just in the middle lane and is now retreating to A site, are left in A site. They're going to be caught in a pincer attack! A site is going to be lost!"

Snappi is definitely a seasoned veteran!

As soon as Donut's teammate died, seeing the enemy's smoke blocking the way, he immediately realized that the enemy's main attack direction was A. He quickly threw a smoke grenade towards the CT spawn at the A bomb site, trying to block the T team's attack route and buy time.

The person playing with the machine speaks as fast as a machine gun!
"Dark and Niko are already on their way back to defend B site! Will Snappi's smoke grenade buy them enough time to get back on defense?"

"But wait! The rats aren't waiting for you! They've already thrown flashbangs and gone through the smoke to attack!"

Bang bang—!
Two flashbangs exploded at bomb site A!

The four-man "rat team" charged straight into point A from the smoke of the police's house, like rats released from their cages.

In this extremely close-quarters melee, the CT side, armed with a single-shot USP, is clearly inferior to the Glock, which can fire in rapid succession, especially considering that this is a 4v2 situation where they are outnumbered.

The moment they burst out of the smoke!
Snappi, who had just thrown a smoke grenade, was instantly killed by Torzsi at close range with a single shot!

"Snappi is down too! Now only the kid is left at point A! What did the kid say? He's standing behind the second box, still trying to pull it up!"

"But wait! Xiaofu, who was trying to sneak up to A site alone, has already made his way up! He found the kid's side! The kid is down too! That means A site is completely lost, and the Rat team can easily plant the bomb! How are we supposed to defend like this?"

Speaking of playing with machines, I can't help but sigh:

"It seems the Rat team was well-prepared to pick the green Sands II! Their pistol round strategy at the start was incredibly clever! The two smoke grenades perfectly divided the battlefield, turning the CTs' advantageous gun positions into close-quarters melees and maximizing the Glock's strengths!"

"Now that the bomb has been planted! All five MOUZ players are in site A. All they need to do is set up their guns and hold the C4. The outcome of this pistol round is basically decided."

"Oh! Dark and Old Ni have only just arrived at the police station?"

The man smacked his lips and commented, "Falcons seems to have been out of practice for a while. He played a bit rusty in this pistol round, and his defensive rhythm was completely disrupted!"

"My personal suggestion is... we can focus on preserving armor this wave, since both Old Ni and Dark have half armor..."

On the Falcons' bench.

Snappi, staring at the gray screen, said through the voice chat with a hint of self-reproach, "It's my fault, my..."

He was about to say something to ease the tension.

Then they announced the preservation of the weapons.

But then he noticed that m0NESY, who had just been turned aside, didn't seem too upset. Instead, she seemed... strangely calm.

Even with a hint of anticipation?
Snappi was taken aback.

Eh?
and many more?

"The Falcon is going to try to defend again?!"

A surprised exclamation rang out from the machine user.

At this moment, under the director's camera.

Niko then silently moved his character toward Ruins A.

Meng Lang, controlling his character, quietly approached the edge of the smoke near the police station's spawn point, silently blending into the smoke!

"Old Ni went to the ruins! Dark infiltrated the police compound! They're even trying to fight their way back!"

The machine player's tone instantly rose, "But this is a 2v5 endgame! And the other side has already planted the bomb, and everyone is in position!"

Just then, Niko from the Ruins glanced at Meng Lang's position and said simply in the voice chat, "I'm going in."

Meng Lang: "Mm."

The next second, Niko decisively pulled himself out of the ruins and simultaneously unleashed a flashbang!

Tie him up!
The rapid gunfire of Glocks instantly became a continuous barrage!
"Wow! Niko's flash! Two of them are white! Can he replace one of them?"

"That doesn't seem likely! All the enemies from University A have come out to help focus fire! Old Ni is down! He didn't manage to take down a single one!!!"

"Wait! Where's Dark?"

"Dark should have had a chance to turn his back in the smoke, right? Why didn't he fire?"

I was a little stunned while playing with the machine!

As soon as he finished speaking, the director immediately focused the camera on Meng Lang, who was still hidden in the smoke.

As soon as Niko drew his gun line towards the ruins, attracting the attention of all the enemies in Area A, Meng Lang quietly emerged from the smoke. However, he did not immediately fire at those exposed to his gun with their backs to him.

"Oh! Dark is releasing them! He's waiting! He's waiting for a better opportunity!"

"Can he pull off a miracle this time, wielding two guns?"

The words just fell!

All that could be seen were Meng Lang's twin pistols.
Just as xertioN realized that Niko in the ruins was dead, he subconsciously turned around to look at the dissipating smoke from the police station!
They acted rashly!

Bang bang bang bang!
The rapid, suffocating bursts of gunfire, like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, poured forth at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

That wasn't the USP's burst fire, nor the Glock's rapid fire, but the unique gunshot of dual Berettas that echoed throughout the A bomb site!

Meng Lang's wrist was shaking wildly within a very small area at a speed that exceeded the limits of human vision!

This is an ultimate sweeping transfer!

The bullets from the dual pistols seemed to have been given a tracking function, forming a deadly barrage!

The first shot accurately headshot xertioN, who had just turned around, and took him out!

With a flick of his wrist to the right, the second and third bullets instantly melted Bymas, who was firing directly at the ruins!
