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

Chapter 36 2-0! What kind of card is Dark?

After losing the previous pistol round, they opted for a force buy instead of immediately using E in the next round.

The Infernal Town map is different from other maps. It has short roads, many turns, and close-range gunfights, giving submachine guns and shotguns a lot of room to perform.

Playing with a machine that provides fast-paced, real-time commentary.

"Oh, this time, Liquid chose to start with 3A, with two players on the second floor. They started with a smoke grenade. Osee used a Desert Eagle to dodge and observe the middle lane after the A link. It seems that his positioning was mainly for survival and to preserve the link information."

"The other two walked forward. Shox crouched in the boiler room, and nitr0 jumped onto the boxes to the second floor. Then they directly blocked the spiral staircase smoke from the second floor and used a shotgun to hit the smoke edge on the VIP side. It seems that the default for Liquid is still biased towards A."

Normally, nitr0's command was fine. G2's long guns were used against short guns, and the banana path was easily blocked by smoke. The terrain was narrow, and once past the stone slabs, they were easily punished by shotguns and submachine guns.

Point A is naturally the most suitable point to attack.

However, he did not expect that,
Little Li also used reverse thinking this time, anticipating nitr0's prediction - you think A is easy to beat and I want to beat A, then I will deliberately beat B.

What's more, this Major team has gained a formidable player who can unleash his full potential once he gets his signature AK weapon.

The result is,

Just 20 seconds into the game, before nitr0 could even get a kill at VIP smoke point, B site had already fallen, with two kill notifications appearing in the upper right corner of the screen.

G2-Dark uses an AK-47 to headshot TL-NAF!

G2-Dark used an AK-47 to headshot and kill TL-EliGE!

"oh--!!!"

The voice of someone playing the machine suddenly rang out, "Dark! Dark is in first place! Li Shen and his cousin gave him a bunch of items! He cleared the level in 20 seconds on the banana path! That's too fast! Dark! Is this your true form after getting your signature AK weapon?!"

"NAF's submachine guns and Chicken Bro's shotguns were no match for them. They were directly taken down by Dark's face-to-face spray and turn-based fire. Dark's AK is too steady!"

As the saying goes, "Playing with machines is..."
Liquid's force buy lineup might have a fighting chance in the narrow banana lane, but it proved incredibly vulnerable to G2's smooth utility play and Dark's precise and deadly AK.

Point B fell instantly.

The three defenders at point A, armed with Desert Eagles, shotguns, and submachine guns, were simply unable to defend against the CTs holding the bomb with long-range rifles.

Left with no other choice, they could only opt to preserve their weapons and armor, keeping their last economic resources for the next point.

Because they know that if they lose this point, they will still be broke for the next one.

The score was 14-3.
In the next match point game...

The liquid struggled desperately, trying to use its last resources to launch a final desperate attack.

But G2, who were in excellent form and riding high on their morale, gave them no chance and scored another point, making the score 15-3.

The girls in live stream room 6657 got excited!
"Let's have a G2-level performance!"

"Sickly Ilya, let's run through the grass!"

"Send them their houses! Send them their houses! Send them their houses!"

"."

The match has entered the decisive game!

In this point, Little Li called a quick link-up and A-1 tactic, using smoke to block the middle study archway, 2 links, 3 A1, with the link and A1 activated simultaneously.

Meng Lang's AK once again put on a show. He first made a precise follow-up shot, helping his cousin, who was horizontally maneuvering at A1, eliminate nitr0, who was defending the bomb site.

Then it starts spinning in place!
With a swift move, he swept away both CTs who were sneaking back to the police station to smoke!
Another triple kill!

"Whoa—!!! My God! Dark! He's gone berserk! He's like a monster! He single-handedly cut off Liquid's entire hope of regrouping!!" Player Machine shouted hoarsely, "How can Liquid possibly win?! How can they possibly lose when they kill three of them?!"

G2 easily won the match point game.

The final score was 16-3.

After winning the pistol round in the second half, G2 went on a four-round winning streak, securing a resounding victory and advancing to the 2-0 group of the Antwerp Major!
“结束了！比赛结束了！G2赢了！他们以16比3大比分碾压战胜了液体，晋级2-0组！”

玩机器激情无比地总结着：    “更恐怖的是这场比赛的数据！Dark！19个回合，他拿下了惊人的27杀！KD是夸张的27/6！ADR146.2！这简直太恐怖了！”

The voice has not fallen,

The chat in the 6657 live stream room exploded!
"G2 is already in the 2/0 group? That was easy?"

"G2 is this strong now? With that kind of firepower, getting into the Legends group shouldn't be a problem!"

"The key is Dark! This guy is killing like this every game, I don't know how G2 can lose?"

"What happened to the guy who was supposed to be a replacement for Jackz? How did he end up becoming the team's big brother?"

"This kind of storyline where the star players in the team don't kill anyone, while the newcomers kill like crazy is too much of a shock to my worldview."

"G2's management must be laughing in their sleep tonight. They just randomly pulled a Legendary card from EG's trash card pool and got a guaranteed Legendary card."

"It seems like Dark's performance these past two days has exceeded the minimum expected level?"

"Let's not talk about that now. The question is, what kind of card is Dark right now?!"

G2 has won two consecutive games.

Meng Lang's outstanding performance has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. Not only in China, but also in the post-match commentary section of HLTV, there are all kinds of discussions.

In the Liquid Arena, EliGE took off his headphones somewhat blankly and rubbed his temples.

Actually, there were some good plays throughout the entire match.

But every time he and his team seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory, a figure wielding an AK would rush out and completely extinguish their newly ignited hope.

That's right,

It's that newbie on the other side with the ID Dark.

That guy he initially thought was no threat, the one who was eliminated by the EG power struggle.

He had faced Dark before, though only briefly in Blast. As an experienced veteran, his assessment of Dark at the time was: a player who had one foot in the T1 tier.

His marksmanship and reaction time are acceptable, but he lacks top-notch awareness and strategic vision—the key point is that his marksmanship is not strong enough to compensate for these shortcomings.

Such young players are commonplace in youth training camps across Europe.

So even though G2 unexpectedly rented Meng Lang to compete in the Major, Meng Lang still put on a very impressive performance against his former team EG yesterday.
But Chicken Bro still didn't take it too seriously, and didn't think of any super genius buried by EG.

After all, that kind of super genius!

Who are you,

That was true from the very beginning!
There's no such thing as "it wasn't like this before, but suddenly it is." Simply put, it's about "inherent GOAT"—in the esports industry, innate talent still plays a significant role.

However, Dark's performance today completely overturned his understanding.

Compared to a few months ago, Dark has not only transformed from a sniper to a rifleman, but his entire gaming style, awareness, decision-making in crucial moments, and terrifying AK recoil control have also changed.
simply……

He was completely different from before.

Is this reasonable? !
I don't understand!

EliGE scratched his bald head, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind:

Is it...

Did EG's management fall for it?

That man wasn't a loser in a palace intrigue at all; he wasn't "kicked out" from the very beginning...

But...

They deliberately "escaped"?!
Wait a minute, isn't this idea a bit too audacious?
