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

Chapter 75 The Shadow of the Demon King Descends Upon This World! (Part 5)

Looking at the glaring scoreline on the screen—11:4—I saw the score at halftime.

Ropz looked away, his expression somewhat unnatural.

How could we lose in the last point?
Accustomed to appearing and disappearing unpredictably and delivering fatal blows from the shadows, he never imagined that he would be outmaneuvered by his opponent in the crucial final moments of the first half.

To put it bluntly, the opponent was practically waiting for him to stick his head out of the A-site to kill him.

To be honest, I feel a little sad!
Moreover, he always had this illusion that the person seemed to know him very, very well.
The knowledge he had was even a little frightening!
What's happening here?
On the FAZE stage, the other players also looked rather grim.

Apart from Rain God and Broky, who didn't have much direct confrontation with Meng Lang, their complexions were slightly better.

Karrigan, the strategist who called out several brilliant tactics in the first half but was ruthlessly destroyed by Meng Lang's individual skill, and Twistzz, the director who wanted to create the "fastest legend in the field" but was slammed down by Meng Lang's Desert Eagle in mid-air just as he took off.
Both of their faces turned pale and then purple.

At this moment, the older cousin also had the same feeling—that the other party seemed to be very familiar with his tactics, and each response did not seem like a counter-attack!
instead.
It's more like the "practice makes perfect" approach under the "sea of ​​questions" strategy!
But is that possible?
The two sides have barely had a chance to fight each other before.

My older cousin was a little confused.
After a while,

The eldest cousin, the team's soul and commander, managed to calm his fluctuating emotions. He clapped his hands vigorously, trying to dispel the gloomy atmosphere hanging over the team, and said in his characteristic, slightly exaggeratedly optimistic tone:

"Alright guys! Listen up, I think we played fantasticly in the first half! Think about it, on this universally acknowledged big picture of nuclear crisis, we scored a whopping 4 points as the offensive team! That's a huge advantage!"

Rain, who was standing next to him, almost coughed out loud when he heard this!

Is it huge?
4 points to 11 points, how big is that advantage?

He was a little doubtful of his ears.

The older cousin, however, showed no embarrassment whatsoever, continuing his "rope-twisting" project without batting an eye.
"Believe me, I have a strong feeling that these precious 4 points will be the key foundation and starting point for our comeback in the second half! Of course, I must admit that we did underestimate our old rivals who came up from the Challengers Group, especially their rookie Dark!"

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "This guy, he's completely maintained, even surpassed, his explosive form from the Challenger Group! And we seriously underestimated his proficiency and adaptability on the Nuclear Crisis map! But—"

He changed the subject, raising his voice and regaining his confidence: "But none of that matters! Guys, remember, in Nukem, what the CT defenders need to do is relatively simple; they have the map control advantage from the start. But in the second half, when we switch sides and it's their turn to attack, that's when a player's overall ability and map understanding are truly tested!"

"Is he really that good with nuclear physics? Will everything eventually become visible?"

After hearing their older cousin's analysis of the problem, the gloom on the faces of the FAZE team members finally dissipated somewhat, and they regained some of their fighting spirit.

That's right, the T-square of the nucleus is the true test!

At the same time, the atmosphere at G2's booth was completely different.

He was kicked to death by the other side in Cato!
This year, the Legendary Group has an even stricter ranking system!

The fact that they managed to achieve such results in the first half of the game, despite their underdog status, was truly a pleasant surprise for everyone!
Coach XTQZZZ was extremely excited. He walked behind Meng Lang and gave him a few heavy shoulder massages, his face beaming with joy: "Meng! Well done! You played fucking well! Your core is absolutely amazing!"

Reflecting on the tactical adjustments in the first half,
Ever since Xiao Li moved Meng Lang to the flexible support defensive position on the third floor, Meng Lang has truly been like a firefighter in the following games, rushing to fill in wherever danger arises and defusing FAZE's sharp attacks on multiple occasions.

What is a jigsaw puzzle?

This is what you call a true champion's puzzle!
The kind that can only be fixed at a certain point,

That's so lame!
Niko chimed in with a smile, "Big Brother must be feeling pretty down this round. He actually called out a few really good tactics, his thinking was all very clear, but Dark's unreasonable marksmanship and awareness completely destroyed them all. I'm thinking, next time he runs into us, he'll probably remember this young guy on our team forever?"

Upon hearing this, the G2 members couldn't help but laugh. Big Cousin's pre-match interview, where he dismissed Dark, was delivered not far from them; none of them were wearing noise-canceling headphones, yet they heard it clearly.

Thinking back to his older cousin's confident and composed demeanor at the time, and then comparing it to his possibly slightly green face at the end of the first half, it made them want to laugh.

At the same time, in live stream room 6657.

The machine player is currently analyzing and summarizing: "G2 started as CT and managed to score 11 points on the large CT map Nuke in the first half. This is a huge advantage, which means they will play with a relaxed mindset in the second half and have a high margin for error."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and sigh, "Also, Dark's performance was really absurd! Who would have thought that after finishing the Challenger Group matches and resting for two days, he would come back as if he had been in seclusion, and then come back with a USP and start shooting heads like crazy, showing off his 'training results'."

"Moreover, I've noticed that Dark gets into the game very quickly every time. He's not the kind of player who's slow to start. A huge advantage of this is that once he gets into a rhythm, his hot streak and confidence quickly infect and motivate his teammates, causing the whole team's rhythm to heat up rapidly!"

"Look at the first half, not only did Ni Gongzi and Xiaohai perform exceptionally well, but even Biaoge and Xiaolizi were in top form! Now it all comes down to the second half. If they can smoothly win the pistol round in the second half, then I think G2 might actually become the first team to achieve an upset victory in the start of this Major Legends Tournament!"

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments again:
[Hey, you're so sarcastic! How tough is your hater?]

[It's just a matter of the underdog overthrowing the boss! What the little bee can't do, the G2 will!]

Where are the FAZE fans? Weren't they shouting quite loudly just now?

[What's the point of the police officers getting so many points? It's only the first half!]

[Isn't it normal to get high scores on nuclear CT scans? This whole charade is ridiculous!]

[Dark! Hold on! Charge!]

Soon, the short halftime break ended, and in the second half, G2 went to the offensive side, while FAZE went to the defensive side.

At the start of the second half pistol round, Karrigan once again demonstrated his unpredictable command style by calling an unconventional "ABGO" tactic.

The so-called "ABGO" simply means that the CT side does not hold their positions at the start of the round, but instead pushes forward simultaneously from three directions: B site, yellow house, and iron gate, quickly rushing into the T building. This creates a terrifying three-point crossfire network against the T side, who are still gathering or preparing to detonate bombs, aiming to get kills at the start of the round and establish a numerical advantage.

In live stream room 6657, the machine enthusiast immediately explained:

"Oh! FAZE has a lot of tricks and strategies on this map. Big Brother also likes to gamble! He's betting that the Ts won't attack the iron plate first, but will instead gather in the T camp to prepare for the bomb!"

"Damn it! G2's cousin and Little Li, who were preparing to detonate the bomb in the terrorist's room, got caught at the perfect timing! Both of them were caught off guard and instantly killed!"

"Old Ni, along with Dark and Kid, saw something was wrong inside and immediately sped down to K1, intending to plant the bomb underground (B site). But FAZE's rotation was too fast! And Big Brother was very meticulous, leaving Molotov cocktails and grenades before rushing out of the terrorist building. 'ABGO' only used a flashbang just now, so now the CTs coming down from the B site should burn down the spot and the ninja position first!"

"The kid was forced out by the fire! Broky took him out with a precise USP shot! Old Ni tried to find an opening, but Ropz flanked him and attacked from behind! Now only Dark is left! A desperate 1v5 situation! Is there any chance of a miracle?"

"Alright! No miracles... Dark was also dragged out by the three FAZE members and killed instantly!"

"Wow! My cousin's 'ABGO' strategy is really something! The timing was perfect!"

After winning this point, FAZE successfully pulled one back, bringing the score to 5-11.

FAZE fans in the live stream were immediately elated!

The 6657 bullet screen also started to be filled with comments like, "Did you see that? That's the 'Galactic Battleship's pistol chrysanthemum! Do any of you girls have such a pistol chrysanthemum?" and "What's so great about getting more points with Nuclear CT? You can get points on the other side too!"
