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

Chapter 29 Niko: Hide! Hide!

Before the game even started, Leonardo DiCaprio went on and on about tactics.

Meng Lang quickly understood Xiao Li's CT pistol round strategy: a 3B2A start followed by a 4A1B mid-game – a strategy originally suited for long-range rifle rounds to contest the banana lane.

Banana Lane is a unique corridor terrain in the town. Whether it is the T or CT, as long as Banana Lane is controlled, they can gain a whole area of ​​depth, which has a very important tactical position.

But Leonardo DiCaprio was prepared to use props in the pistol round and adopt this strategy.

Clearly, as the commander, Leonardo DiCaprio put a lot of thought into today's pistol round.

I really want to win this pistol round.

Soon, the countdown ended, and the competition began.

In Douyu's live stream room 6657.

"The match has started. Let's take a look at the pistol round setup. Liquid's nitr0 has no armor and has a full set of utility gear, one dual pistols and four half-armor Glocks. It seems they're going for a bomb rush tactic. I wonder which bomb site they'll choose."

"What about G2's CT side? Little Li bought a full set of items without armor, but wait! Did Dark also buy a full set of items without armor? Two sets of items for the CT pistol round? This pistol round feels like G2 has a plan!"

At this moment, the director's camera focused on T's side. After leaving the house, no one went to the side path; all five of them ran towards the bandit's entrance with big strides.

"It's B! Liquid, prepare a barrage of RUSHB!"

Clang!
A smoke grenade suddenly fell from the sky, and the rapidly spreading smoke directly blocked the terrorists' entrance to the banana path.

He reacted quickly while playing with the machine!

"Oh! Li Shen threw a quick smoke grenade to the terrorists in B site at the start of the round, and on the other side, Dark jumped and threw a CT fire grenade to the middle of Banana Road halfway through the 3B team. In that case, the Ts' rush to B is blocked!"

Yes!

The item combo designed by Little Li, combining the terrorist's smoke grenade with a mid-range fire grenade after the smoke, not only prevented the Ts from launching a strong initial attack and accelerating the game, but also prevented anyone from using the smoke grenade.

In this way, Meng Lang, Niko, and their cousin easily pulled themselves off the stone slab and occupied the tree positions and grooves near the bandit's entrance on the banana path.

"Wow! G2's pistol round setup and tactics today were really something else."

The player, using a god-like perspective, quickly predicted Liquid's next move: "Now that T is blocked at the terrorist's spawn point, no one dares to use smoke or fire. They'll have to consider rotating to A from the middle or side lanes."

"That's exactly what Li Shen wanted! Believe it or not, Li Shen is about to issue a 4A command. Except for Young Master Ni, everyone else will probably have to go back to A, forming a 4A heavy defense formation."

as predicted!

After a short while, the three men on Banana Road in G2 stopped hearing the bandits' footsteps.

Xiao Li Zi immediately said in the voice chat, "Cousin and Dark, come back. The enemy has probably switched to A. Dark, save the smoke grenade for Niko."

"Okay." Meng Lang nodded.

My cousin and I quickly returned to A.

Niko picked up the smoke grenade that Meng Lang had dropped, retreated to the stone slab behind the defensive point, and kept moving around to observe the terrorist entrance while holding the smoke grenade.

If he sees someone, he'll give them a cigarette and stall until his teammates return to defend.

Soon, 40 seconds had passed.

During a moment of hesitation, Niko actually spotted the bandits and immediately threw a smoke grenade.

Clang!
The smoke bomb immediately dispersed.

Logically speaking, G2's three players pushing up the banana lane at the start of the game didn't use stealth, and the opposing team saw that they had a smoke in the banana lane and knew they had more players.

There's absolutely no reason for him to touch a cigarette.

However, nitr0, the team's commander, is a player whose style emphasizes tactical planning and teamwork rather than individual statistics. He also possesses excellent tactical reading ability and decisive decision-making ability.

This unusual pistol round in G2 made him sense a conspiracy, so he decisively called back his teammates on the second floor of the terrorist building and gave the final instructions with 40 seconds left!
“RUSHB!”

"RUSHB!"

In live stream room 6657!

The man playing the machine suddenly widened his eyes and raised his voice, "Huh? Liquid dared to charge in with five people through the smoke! Now only Old Ni is left on the stone! Someone from G2's A site realized something was wrong and has already retreated to defend, but it's too late now!"

Next second,
T and the others flashed out together!

Niko was stunned by a flash of white light.

Before they could even engage, they were killed by the enemy's five-man squad.

Immediately afterwards, the liquid was planted in area B, and after the firing line was opened, it was thrown into the police spawn's partition eye.

Wow! A 4v5 B site defense? That looks like it's going to be tough!

"The liquid units have already set up their formation at the three boxes, the dead spot, the coffin, and the dead spot on the banana path, which can easily create 2-3 intersecting firing lines. In this situation, it is really too difficult for the CTs to defend!"

This is true.

Although G2 performed quite well in their retake of the CT spawn and the church, even managing to take down two opponents under crossfire, they were still somewhat unable to turn the tide.

In this pistol round, Meng Lang had a set of utility items but no armor. After returning from the church, he only managed to finish off one person before being taken down by EliGE's body shot.

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments:
"He got executed by Chicken Bro again?" "As expected, the newcomers are still unstable."

EliGE: I heard you were really good yesterday?

"."

Watching this unfold, the player could only sigh regretfully: "Alas, it's a pity that G2's meticulously designed strategy was ultimately broken by Liquid's smoke-filled push. There's nothing we can do; pistol rounds are always unpredictable. Let's see what happens next. G2's economy is bad; they should probably eco this round."

The atmosphere in G2's team voice chat was also somewhat subdued.

Especially Aleksib, as the commander, had his meticulously designed pistol round tactics broken by the opponent in the most brute force, which made him doubt himself.

After all, losing a pistol round might not be such a big deal. But the feeling of having put so much effort into a design only to have it fall apart is incredibly demoralizing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Meng Lang was about to say, "How about we try the Desert Eagle in the next round?" After all, he had just merged with the [Old Nun's Remnant Body] and was still very familiar with the Desert Eagle.

But before he could even speak, Niko, who was standing next to him, suggested, "Next round, I'll go for an eco round and start with the Desert Eagle. Let's try to find an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Meng Lang swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Young Master Ni's Eagle" has always been his trademark. Although he has merged with "Old Ni's Remains" and the original body is right in front of him, Meng Lang feels that he should not try to show off his skills in front of an expert.

But I had a vague feeling that something was off.

Little Li and the others felt this was the best option at the moment, and nodded: "OK, then we'll rely on you, Niko. The rest of us will use half-armor and props to support you."

The second round begins.

G2's economy was poor; apart from Niko who bought a Desert Eagle and a few items, the others were either wearing half armor or running naked.

Leonardo DiCaprio's tactical approach this time was relatively conservative.

He started the game with a default defensive formation of 2B (Meng Lang and Niko), 2A (huNter and Kid), and 1 connector (Lee himself).

Meng Lang and Niko, who were responsible for guarding B, did not choose to push forward this round, but instead chose to defend the back point - Meng Lang was near the three boxes, while Niko was hovering near the one box.

The advantage of defending the back point is that you can gain a gun position advantage in gunfights. The disadvantage is that you will lose information control of the front point of the banana path and give the T side enough space to deploy bombs. You will also have to withstand a lot of power item suppression from the opponent.

In live stream room 6657, someone was analyzing the situation using a computer:
"Liquid tasted the sweetness of rushing B in the last round, and they knew that G2 had an eco round and a big disadvantage in weaponry, so Liquid chose to continue attacking B site in this round! Moreover, they were very aggressive and used utility aggressively, clearing out the close-range area directly!"

"But! Niko's here in B site on the CT side! He has a Desert Eagle! Niko! Can you pull off a miracle? This Desert Eagle comeback depends on this!"

We haven't finished talking about playing with machines yet!
In the live broadcast, a precise flashbang from Liquid exploded above Niko's head!

Niko instinctively backstepped and simultaneously threw a smoke grenade in the direction he sensed someone was there, trying to buy some time.

But the liquid's attack was just too decisive!

Clang!
Before the smoke had completely dissipated, the Liquid's attacking players had already rushed out through the smoke, taking advantage of the flashbang effect!
Niko had just regained his vision from the white screen and hadn't even had time to locate himself before firing two shots, when he was wiped out by oSee, who was charging at the front, with a sudden stop and spray of bullets from his AK!

"Ah!? Niko got thrashed! His Desert Eagle fell!"

The machine player exclaimed in a drawn-out voice, "It's over! G2's eco round is over! Ni Gongzi only threw a smoke grenade, and now Dark is the only one left at point B with a USP."

"Hide! Hide!"

Niko, who had just died, hurriedly shouted in the voice chat that Meng Lang should hide and wait for his three teammates in area A to return to defend.

At this moment, Meng Lang was left alone in Zone B, facing a five-man attack team that surged towards him like a tidal wave of liquid.

Meng Lang's heart sank.

But just as his gaze swept over the Desert Eagle that Niko had dropped in front of him, a flash of lightning seemed to strike his mind!
He suddenly realized what he had felt was wrong!
He fused with the remnants of 2017 Niko – the ultimate confidence and unreasonable gun feel of the peak Niko Desert Eagle in 17.

but now……

It's 2022!
The 22-year-old nun was defeated.

Young Master Ni, at 17, might not necessarily lose!
The next second, an indescribable surge of passion welled up in Meng Lang's heart!

At this moment, instead of retreating, he took a step forward!
Click——!
The Desert Eagle, still warm from Niko's body, instantly fell into Meng Lang's hands!

【Old Nun's Remains (17 Desert Eagle Limited Edition)】!
activation!
"Bro?! What are you doing?!"

Niko exclaimed in surprise over the voice chat.

The sound of the team members' hurried and chaotic footsteps, mixed with liquid!

Meng Lang did not answer.

He took a deep breath and entered a mystical state.

With a slight dip in the wrist, the mouse moves gently.

The massive muzzle of the Desert Eagle traced a chilling arc as his arm moved, aiming at the first figure emerging from the edge of the smoke!
this moment,
Time seemed to slow down.

The noise of the world fades away.

boom--! ! !
The Desert Eagle's signature, deafening roar suddenly exploded at B bomb site!
