Meng Lang's astonishing data caused the live stream chat to explode with comments!
I thought 30 kills on the first map, Small Town, was already amazing enough, but I never expected him to unleash a staggering 43 kills on Sand Dunes II in the Major main event! It completely shocked everyone!
It's worth noting that the highest number of kills in a single map during a CS:GO Major main event is 52, achieved by Neil in the 16 Columbus Major against FlipSid3.

But that was a fierce battle that lasted 59 rounds!
How much is Dark?

"Holy crap! That's brutal!"

"Whose agent came to fill out the order?"

"Wow! If this data were applied domestically, my parents would probably be confiscated, right?"

"Mom and Dad? Their ancestors for eighteen generations won't be spared!"

"I already thought 30 kills in Black God Town in the first picture was outrageous, but I didn't expect there to be something even more outrageous!"

"Indeed, this Sand Two looks exactly like Dark is swimming in a dragon!"

"This is awesome! Brothers! This is the ultimate fighting experience!"

"As expected of CNCS players, this dry pull completely destroyed Sand 2!"

"Oh no! I'm going to become a fan of Kurokami!"

"No doubt about it, G2 has definitely struck gold this time."

"Big Sweet Potato only got 22 kills in this picture, that's ridiculous."

"It seems that the load parameters in Figure 2 were adjusted a bit too aggressively, and the values ​​in Figure 3 are a bit unstable."

"Indeed, Dark completely dominated Figure 3."

"I don't need to tell you who the real Tsar is, do I?"

"Dark: I love Dust2! This map is pure CS!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

But the fans of the little bee and the carrier were getting restless.

"No! You're telling me this cargo carrier with one green and four red sections is being suppressed?"

"The internet celebrity team is causing a ruckus! Time to calm down!"

"Is Little Bee's teammate even human? They're absolutely terrifying—four maggots!"

"If the enemy carries the ball in a chaotic manner, they can score points; if they go silent, they get beaten badly. This was the case last year, and it's still the same now."

But someone in the live chat immediately refuted this:
"Laughable, that just means you haven't killed enough."

"You should learn from Dark. He gets 30 kills in map one and 43 in map three. See if you can win then?"

"Holy crap! Adding that to the 18 kills in map two, Dark racked up 91 kills across three maps today! That's insane! This guy's going to explode when the stats update, won't he?"

"."

At this moment, at the Antwerp Major, the director's camera also focused on the players' seats.

As the best player in today's BO3 and the biggest contributor to G2's advancement, even though Meng Lang was just an unknown Eastern player before Antwerp, the camera was almost always focused on him at this moment.

At this moment, the world's attention is focused on this 17-year-old CNCS prodigy who has amazed everyone with his performance!

G2's teammates were ecstatic.

Niko took off her white silk wristband, gave Meng Lang a big hug, and praised him repeatedly, "Nice Bro!"

To be honest, when we lost the nuclear crisis in Figure 2 today, even I, who am used to faltering in crucial situations, was numb. At that moment, my mind was already replaying the events in my head.

Who would have thought! Who would have thought!
Meng Lang in Figure 3 gave him such a huge surprise!

Leonardo DiCaprio ripped off his headphones, excitedly hugged Meng Lang, and shouted, "I LOVE U! Bro! You're amazing! No! You played exceptionally well today!"

There was no way around it; today's BO3 was just too intense, with the first two rounds almost going the full distance.

As the commander, Leonardo DiCaprio's brain cells were being used up in round after round of gameplay, until finally his brain could barely function anymore.

Finally, the cargo exploded, and the little bee began to catch up.

Li Zi, who was a bit overloaded with CPU, thought to himself, "The young player on the team is on fire today, why don't we give him an AK to try out!"

Unexpectedly, this trial led to a whole new world!

He threw all academic CS tactics to the back of his mind—at least on the simple and brutal map of Dust 2, Little Li quickly discovered that giving Meng Lang an AK was the simplest and most effective tactic!
He can reliably kill one person at the start of each game, creating a breakthrough with a single player, and his ability to rack up kills and multi-kills is off the charts. What academic tactics can be this effective?!
At this very moment,
Little Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

CS is ultimately an FPS shooting game!
At the same time, m0NESY excitedly hugged Meng Lang, saying, "My god! You did a fantastic job on this map, bro!"

He was truly shocked!

Although Meng Lang had previously said that Sand II was his signature map, and emphasized it again with a serious expression after the loss in Nuka-2, m0NESY didn't take it too seriously, only considering it as encouragement for him when he was somewhat frustrated.

Since Sand Dune 2 is a simple introductory map, we shouldn't talk about who has "unique skills," but rather ask who doesn't have "unique skills."
There are very few professional players who aren't good at Sand II.

The child thought he also had the unique skill of sand dune 2!
But after witnessing Meng Lang's performance today, he realized that this was not just a skill—it was an absolute masterpiece!

This guy!

Where did he train for that amazing sand pull?!

At the same time, Meng Lang's older cousin stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and put his arm around his younger cousin Niko, asking with a smile, "How did you feel about the Major this time?"

Major has always been a source of pain for Niko.

From the three boxes in Boston in 18 to the three guns of nuclear weapons in 21!

He was always just one bullet away from the throne, and the trajectory of that bullet marked the most heartbreaking moment of his entire career.

Having experienced the trauma of Stockholm last year, coupled with G2's poor performance in the first half of the year and the team's last-minute roster change just before the Major, Niko originally did not have high expectations for this Antwerp tournament.

It's not that he doesn't crave the championship!

Perhaps it's only because expectations are low that there won't be too much disappointment.

But upon hearing his cousin's words, Old Ni's face lit up. Though he didn't explicitly make any promises, his meaning was clear. Seeing this, his cousin couldn't help but laugh, glancing at Meng Lang's figure and exclaiming again, "You really brought our team a treasure!"

"That is!"

Old Ni raised an eyebrow smugly.

After a brief celebration, the group walked to the opposite side of the Little Bee competition area to shake hands.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the Little Bee competition area was gloomy.

apEX looked up at the tall, handsome Eastern face walking towards him from across the stage. The usually arrogant French captain suddenly had a complicated expression.

The town in Figure 1 is at a disadvantage.

I accept it.

The opposing team got 30 kills.

He deserves to win!
In Figure 2, the core player found the opponent's weakness. The opponent was obviously not good at core players, and Niko was the one in the center position in the first half.

Although a four-man defensive run from the steel plate to the inside in the second half created some difficulties for them, Niko finally agreed at the last moment.

Successfully obtained!

But what is Sand 2 in Figure 3?
43 kills in a single map!

Dude, are you frying fish here?

Moreover, the opponent's unreasonable playstyle of going out the middle gate to kill people - apEX always thought he was the "most free mourner", until today when he saw the recklessness on the map of Sand 2, he finally understood what the ultimate freedom and unrestraint is!
Beside him, his old friend Zaiwu looked sullen, his head down, biting his nails, seemingly still reeling from Meng Lang's incredible quadra kill in the last game.

Come to think of it!

After winning the previous clutch and destroying G2's economy, his premonition of catching up and turning the tide was incredibly strong at that moment!
But I never expected this!

Meng Lang's lightning-fast acceleration at A University instantly killed all suspense!
In the short time it took to set up a sniper rifle at the middle gate, I turned around and saw that all my teammates were dead.

I'll beat up your love!

At this moment, looking at Meng Lang, hands in his pockets, full of vigor and high spirits!

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see his former self, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

The live broadcast director focused the camera on the two men—the spirited Menglang and the dejected Zaiwu formed a stark contrast!

The live broadcast room barrage exploded again:
"66666!"

"Dark's hands-in-pockets gait is like a gust of wind!"

"Tsk tsk! No wonder he's a breakthrough player, he even walks with a forward-leaning gait!"

"Holy crap! Is CNCS going to have its own chosen one too?"

"."

Of course, the fans of the little bee and the cargo carrier are still stubbornly insisting:

"It's just making it into the Legends group, not a Major, why are you bragging about it like this?"

"His teammates are bombarding him with AKs, he's practically lifestealing!"

"Honestly, with so many star players on the G2 team, it would be strange if they didn't win!"

"If the team had even half the normal teammates of G2, would they have lost today?"

"It feels like DouDou's command is completely incompatible with the old A team's system. It's like a brute encountering a scholar. If they had the same freedom to engage in firefights as ZaiWu and Hei÷, how could the third map have turned out so badly?"

"Seriously, Zonik, stop playing your damn Team A system!"

"Indeed, Zaiwu didn't perform at all as well as they did last year. It was frustrating to watch!"

"The Danish trio is good, but they are limited in carrying capacity. The Little Bees will only have a future if they play a strategy of protecting the king by focusing on carrying capacity."

"Let's reconsider the team configuration. Stop thinking of turning NAVI into the second Astralis. Even though you, Zonnick, suppressed NAVI's peak Astralis for so long, you still found a new way to bring NAVI to where it is today."

"."

Clearly, despite losing this qualifying match, the Little Bees still have a chance to advance to the Legends Group, but they couldn't achieve a 3-0 victory to qualify directly, leaving many fans still feeling disappointed.

After all, Antwerp's little bees had been unstoppable for the past two days, defeating everyone they encountered with a single blow, which had raised the expectations of their fans to a fever pitch. But today, they were nipped in the bud by the "internet celebrity team" G2 with a 2-1 defeat!
How could I not be angry?

Of course, there are also those who create a buzz:

"Yeah!"

"A player who's a legend in the NBA, but his teammates are in the CBA."

Playing on the machine while watching the live stream comments left me both amused and exasperated.

"Dude, this is ridiculous! I'm wondering why so many fans are still fixated on the Little Bee's all-French team? If France had any decent players, would they need to form an international squad?"

"Honestly, those who are nostalgic for last year's Little Bees are probably the same people who criticized the roster changes last year. Last year's all-French lineup had a solid floor but its ceiling was also limited. If they stick to the all-French lineup, to say something that Zaiwu fans won't like to hear—Zaiwu might end up like Niko, never winning a Major championship! Oh, of course, it's hard to say about Niko this year..."

"Uh! I'm not going to go through with this! What I mean is that although the Little Bees' lineup change this year, which brought in the three members of Team A, hasn't made a big difference, at least we can see where the problems are. It's indeed difficult to switch the lineup from native language to English, but it's a necessary attempt. To put it bluntly, consider it as giving Zaiwu English practice. You can't build something new without breaking down the old!"

"Hehe, some viewers in the live chat are saying, 'You talk so nicely, so why did Little Bee lose today?'"

"Why? Because Dark was really fierce today!"

"Huh? Someone's asking what's so amazing about it? Do I even need to explain? Dude! Just look at these three charts and the data will tell you everything!"

As he spoke, he logged into HLTV, opened the newly updated post-match data, and checked the results of today's best-of-three series between the Little Bees and G2:
ID: G2-Dark
K/D: 91/29
ADR: 145.1
Rating: 2.45
The moment he saw the data, Wanji couldn't hold back anymore and exclaimed again, "Crushing! Dark's performance on these three maps today, except for Carnage, was absolutely dominant! His kill count on Sandy Terrain was absolutely crushing! He's probably already set a new record for the highest Sandy Terrain kill count in a Major main event! He even took responsibility for Carnage! There are really only four words to describe it: crushing!"

"That rating is even more outrageous! 2.45 across three maps! And if I remember correctly, he also achieved ratings of 1.76 and 1.87 in the previous two days' competitions. That means that Dark's average rating across the entire Challenger group is 2.19!"

He took a breath as he spoke while playing with the machine!

"Holy crap! Guys! Something's not right! If Dark can maintain this stat in the upcoming Legends stage, he's probably going to break Old Tang's all-time record for highest Major rating!"
