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

Chapter 81 Desecrating a Corpse?! Hand-Slaying!!
Douyu, live stream room 6657.

Before the match even started, the live stream was already filled with a cheerful atmosphere and all sorts of "troll" comments.

"Oh, the big streamer is here! We feel so bad that you had to take time out of your busy schedule to come and stream. On behalf of the viewers, I'd like to kowtow to you and apologize!"

“I was watching your live stream at work, and my boss Bruce Wayne found out. He just nodded and said, ‘Good, keep monitoring the Joker.’”

"God of Gaming, do you think G2 can win today?"

"Whether G2 can win or not is irrelevant if we ask the machine; we need to ask if Brother Xia will agree."

"When has Brother Shrimp ever disagreed? He really is... I'm so upset!"

"Dark said he won't agree today!"

"Report! Old Ni says Dark has agreed too!"

"."

Playing with the machine, watching the live stream chat fill the screen with bullet comments that almost overflowed, he patted his belly comfortably after being fed by "Sister Yu" and said with a smile:

"Alright, alright, some people really need to stop messing around, or your livestream will get banned. Let me give you a simple prediction for today's match... I can only say... those who want to win, win."

One comment in the live chat said, "Machine, machine, is there anyone in a competition who doesn't want to win?"

“No, buddy, you have to think of it this way,” Wanji began his “philosophical” analysis in a serious tone, “Some people say they don’t want to win, but they really want to win, just like some people say they don’t want something but they really want it; but some people say they want something, but they may not really want it, so when someone asks for it, they agree.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded like a powder keg, flooding the screen!
"???"

"Please stop bashing my brother Shrimp. I'm an 18-year-old female college student and I cried."

You'd better really be a female college student!

"Playing the Great Philosopher! I've got it!"

"Shrimp Bro: I fucking thank you!"

Playing with the machine, he chuckled as he watched the live chat, then hummed in satisfaction and continued, "Alright, alright, enough rambling. Let's watch the match. Today it's G2 vs. HEROIC, let's check out the draft."

As they were talking, the business proposal (BP) phase began on the live stream.

Today, HEROIC is banning the map first, removing the tower and the nuke right away.

G2 banned Ancient Ruins, Death Park, and Purgatory.

In an instant, only Sand City and Desert City remained on the field.

Upon seeing this, the person playing with the machine immediately laughed:
"It seems that G2's decision to ban maps later was quite wise. They don't play Ancient and Overpass much anyway. Although Dark played Town fairly well in the Challenger Series, this map relies heavily on team coordination and synchronization, and the terrain is quite complex, which to some extent limits Dark's ability to maximize his individual skill."

"As for the remaining two maps, Sand City and Mirage, HEROIC will most likely definitely not pick Sand City. Even the most confident team, after seeing Dark's terrifying 2.59 rating on Sand City against Bees, wouldn't insist on picking Sand City to try their luck; that would be no different from giving away points. So I think it's more likely to be Mirage, and Mirage is actually quite suitable for the dynamic defense system that Dianzi is good at."

This analysis of the machine is still quite accurate.

Soon, HEROIC's strategist cadiaN smiled in the direction of Meng Lang at G2's booth, chose to "respect" him, banned Dust2, and left the last map - Mirage.

The machine player is right. Although G2 is also good at this map, I think HEROIC has a stronger competitive edge and more tactical reserves on Mirage. Moreover, they can choose sides this time, and I didn't hesitate to take the defensive side first.

On the one hand, Mirage is a map that favors the CT (defender) side. Being able to score more points at the start of the game can help to suppress the opponent's morale.

On the other hand, Dianzige started by taking CT, wanting to test their strength against G2 with their signature "dynamic defense".

"Here's a brief explanation of what dynamic defense is."

While the game was loading, the player said, "It's very different from classic zone defense, mainly in three aspects:"
"First is the personnel deployment, which is constantly changing. The players' positions are not fixed and will frequently change according to tactical needs. They may quickly switch from '2A-3B' to '4A-1B' for point-based defense, which is very flexible."

"The second is information gathering and taking the initiative. They will not wait idly, but will actively collect information and find out the main direction of the opponent's attack by pressing forward, clearing out enemy flashes, and probing with props."

"The third and most important point is the exchange of control. The core of the tactics is to compete with the attacking side for control of the map through the movement of props and personnel, rather than passively defaulting to defense."

"In short, just like playing chess, command is about thinking about how to gain the greatest advantage with the least resources. The goal is to keep the defensive formation aligned with the opponent's most likely main attack direction through constant probing and adjustments before the attacking side launches its final offensive, thereby turning passivity into initiative."

"This playstyle is in stark contrast to Li Shen's preferred 'intelligent default' and steady map control style," Wanjiji summarized. "One is aggressive as fire, the other is immovable as a mountain; one is aggressive, pursuing the upper limit, the other is steady, ensuring the lower limit."

"There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the two, because the shortcomings of the idea guy's approach are also obvious, namely, it requires a very high level of teamwork and communication. If the communication is not smooth or the execution is not in place, frequent movement will lead to a gap in the defense, which will be taken advantage of by the opponent, and then it will look like a very ugly defeat."

……

With the ban/pick phase over, the match between the two teams officially began.

G2 vs HEROIC!

Map: Desert City.

CT (Defender): cadiaN, stavn, TeSeS, sjuush, Jabbi.

T (Attacker): NiKo, huNter-, m0NESY, Aleksib, Dark.

The pistol round has officially begun.

In this game, G2 started on the offensive side, and Xiao Li set up a strategy from the beginning: control the map and get information in the early game, pretend to attack B in the second time, and actually switch to attack A.

Why the second time?

Because Ts can easily rush in the pistol round, many CT team commanders prefer to gamble on key points and heavily defend.

If we can't gamble, we can always go back to defend; there's still a chance then.

But once you win the gamble...

You can basically score points steadily.

Leonardo DiCaprio is coming up with a reverse thinking move right from the start!
In the 6657 live stream, the commentator, who speaks very quickly, said: "Let's take a look at the setup on both sides of the pistol round. G2 has two sets of equipment, four Glocks, while Kid has a P250."

"Some viewers asked in the chat, 'Why doesn't Dark have a P250?' Dude, Dark's role in the team is more of a free agent right now. He often doesn't stick with the main group in pistol rounds and needs to gather information or cover the rear alone. It wouldn't be very useful for him to have a P250. Besides, I remember he doesn't use this gun very often. Otherwise, I feel that given Dark's current status in the team and his hot streak, this one and only P250 would definitely be given to him."

"Alright, that's not important. Let's take a look at HEROIC's side. CT has also bought two sets of utility this round. cadiaN started with a standard 2B-3A formation. Oh! CadiaN is very aggressive! He pushed all the way to the front of B's ​​second floor by himself, hiding behind the wall to gather information!"

"What about G2? Judging from their movements, it seems like they're planning a bait-and-attack strategy at B... Dark is near the sewer stairs by himself. It's almost 1 minute and 20 seconds left. The smoke grenades at the B bomb site have been deployed, and he's in charge of throwing flashbangs and decoys to create some noise!"

"But this was a miscalculation! Dianzi pushed too far forward at the start. He could clearly hear footsteps outside B site and knew that there was actually no one outside B site! What will Dianzi do? Will he send his teammates from A site back to defend B site immediately?"

"Oh! Wait a minute! Point Guy didn't order A site to immediately switch back to defense! In the voice chat, he told his teammates in A site to use smoke grenades and flashbangs to block the entrance to A site! I get it! He wanted to pretend that there were many people in A site, create the illusion that A site was heavily defended, and make Little Li back down and shift the main attack direction to B site, which was actually weak in their defense!"

When it comes to interpreting dog-related information, playing with machines is definitely the best approach.

Sure enough, as soon as the CT in Area A threw out the props, a wall of smoke grenades was formed. When Xiao Li saw this from the command perspective, he immediately hesitated.

Because a normal CT pistol round only starts with one set of utility, if you bombard so many smoke grenades in A site, how many people would be in A site?
Furthermore, the A site in Mirage has too many CT gun positions, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the pistol round, the Ts have few utility items and cannot use many key smokes, making it inherently difficult to win.

With both factors combined and enough time to reposition, Leonardo DiCaprio decisively called for a B repositioning command!
So, what was originally a fake fight turned into a real fight!

Upon seeing this, the person playing the machine was immediately horrified:
"Oh no! Li Shen has fallen for our trap!"

you do not say!

On Dianzi's side, after successfully using items to delay and mislead the opponent in Area A, he calculated the time and immediately gave the order in the voice chat for his two teammates in Area A, sjuush and Jabbi, to mute and return to defend Area B! Instantly, a heavy defensive formation of 4B was formed in Area B!
As a result, when G2 finally assembled and launched their attack on Area B, they found themselves running into an impenetrable wall!

They were facing multiple CTs who had already set up their gun positions on the sofa, in the white car, at the supermarket window, and in B-class, forming a perfect crossfire!

Despite Meng Lang, wielding a Glock, managing to cripple two opponents amidst the chaos, he was ultimately pinpointed behind the sofa with nowhere to escape and was easily eliminated by the remaining two CTs and Stavn, who arrived from point A.

[HEROIC-stavn uses a USP to headshot and kill G2-Dark!]

Meng Lang dealt a lot of damage, but failed to secure a kill.

"That's the idea guy's dynamic defense!"

Playing with the machine, I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head, saying, "That 4B heavy defense on the spot was just too solid! They completely figured out Li Shen's intentions. Not only was Li Shen's fake shot seen through, but the opponent even turned the tables on him, luring him into a trap..."

While the player was enthusiastically analyzing the ingenuity of the tactic, a sudden burst of rapid and piercing gunfire erupted from the already concluded round on the screen!

Puff puff puff—puff puff puff—!
It's Stavn! He controlled his character to stand near the sofa and frantically pulled the trigger of the USP at Meng Lang's corpse lying on the ground!
In the blink of an eye, he poured all the bullets he had just reloaded onto Meng Lang's immobile corpse!

The man playing the machine was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Are they going to fire right away? What does this mean, buddy? They're trying to get Dark mentally unstable right from the start! They know that young players are easily driven to madness."

"But please don't do this kind of thing, really, please stop whipping me."

Unexpectedly, Stavn, perhaps manipulated by a player, immediately reloaded his USP and, taking advantage of the match's end, fired two more shots at the corpse on the ground!
"No way?! You want to keep going after you've finished one round? You're addicted to the whip, aren't you?"

The volume of the machine increased by eight octaves.

"Holy crap! An angel?! No! A piece of shit!"

"Is it really necessary to fire two magazines? What grudge do you have?"

"You fucking killed someone who was crippled by his teammates behind the sofa, someone who couldn't move, what the hell are you whipping?! Is this even human?! This little dog shit isn't human anymore, holy crap! I don't know what I'm saying anymore."

The player was clearly getting a bit too worked up from all this inexplicable and relentless criticism, and started rambling incoherently. This caused a massive explosion of comments in the 6657 live stream chat!

"???"

"Go ahead and whip me, will you?"

"Dog poop is really disgusting!"

"Extremely poor manners!"

"."

"Wait, why can't we use whips? Has esports become a library?"

"Some of the streamers and viewers in the live stream shouldn't have such sensitive skin!"

"Old Fo's famous quote: If whipping a dead body makes you bad at the game, I'll do it ten times. That's esports!"

"Saving money: If the other side gets angry after you've whipped the corpse, then you've whipped it correctly!" "HEROIC fans are starting to defend it now?"

"."

Viewers and trolls in the live stream were arguing their points and spamming the chat.

However, at that moment, the director's camera timely focused on the two competition seats.

HEROIC's competition seat.

Commander cadiaN watched stavn's actions, shook his head with a helpless smile, seemingly disapproving of his teammate's overly flamboyant behavior, but didn't say anything more.

Jabbi then bent down and leaned closer to Stavn, giving him a thumbs-up with a mischievous grin on his face.

Stavn himself spread his hands, shrugged, and pretended to be innocent, indicating that he hadn't done anything—but the uncontrollable upward grin on his lips completely betrayed his true thoughts.

Yes, he really did want to mess with Meng Lang's mentality.

At the same time, the director's camera also gave Meng Lang a close-up shot in the G2 booth.

But to everyone's surprise, Meng Lang's face remained calm, without any expression of anger or frustration.

He even gave Niko a faint, comforting smile when Niko turned to look at him, seemingly wanting to comfort him.

"That's right! We just don't want to be affected!"

Playing with the machine, he immediately said with approval, "That little poop is obviously trying to mess with our mentality. Stay calm, Dark! As long as you stay calm and play your normal level, even if you can't get revenge now, you'll always have a chance later!"

……

The match quickly moved into the second round.

On the G2 pitch, Xiao Li Zi noticed that Meng Lang had only dealt damage without getting any kills in the previous round and didn't have much money left. He turned to Meng and asked, "This round, after we finish the default setup in the early game, we'll rush to the second floor of B site to speed things up. Meng, you don't have much money, do you want me to get you an AWP?"

During the promotion match against the Little Bees, Meng Lang's performance with the bird sniper rifle on Inferno and Sand 2 left a deep impression on Xiao Li.

But Meng Lang shook his head upon hearing this and decisively refused.

“Let’s get Ilya an AWP,” Meng Lang said. “I’ll get a MAC-10 this game and I’ll take the first position in B site.”

In a forced buy game, after completing the default actions in the early game, the team will definitely group up and rush.

At this point, submachine guns, with their fierce close-range firepower and fast movement speed, are clearly more threatening and capable of breaking through enemy lines than sniper rifles, which require holding positions and are weak in close combat.

Little Li's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this!
When attacking B site, the terrain inside the bomb site and the connecting passages is narrow, leading to frequent close-quarters firefights. The air-blower is indeed more suitable than the sniper rifle.

"Alright! Let's fight like this!"

In live stream room 6657, the player was watching the equipment choices of both sides:

"Oh! G2 opted for a force buy this round! Dark didn't go for the familiar Desert Eagle or AWP, but instead went for a hairdryer!"

"It seems that Li Zi is very determined to lead the team today! He doesn't want to give up this point easily as long as he can try. In this game, they have a 3-1-1 formation, 1A (Brother Biao), 1Mid (NiKo), and 3B (Aleksib, m0NESY, Dark). It seems that they plan to harass the A bomb site, mid VIP, and archway in the early game, and then gather to rush B site."

"Oh! Wait a minute! Dianzi's instructions are still very flexible! At the start of the game, he and TeSeS immediately launched a double B-small push towards the mid lane! It looks like they're going to push all the way and forcefully take control of the mid lane!"

"Old Ni on the middle lane blocked the enemy's path and smoked, then hid behind the sandbags! Wait a minute! Brother Dian and Brother Long threw fire sandbags to clear them out!"

"Damn it! Old Ni got burned out! Like a roasted shrimp! Brother Long easily took down Old Ni with a burst of M4A1 fire! Old Ni managed to get one shot out with his Desert Eagle while it was on fire, but it only hit his body and didn't cause any fatal damage!"

"Wait a minute! Although Old Ni is dead, he got important information that the CTs are pushing forward at B short! This means that the defense inside B site is likely weak right now! Little Li immediately gave the order to detonate the bomb!"

All of a sudden!
White car sofa goes viral!
Smoke coming from the supermarket window!
B connects to the smoke barrier!
The standard B-point bomb combo is completed instantly!
The moment the bomb exploded, Meng Lang, wielding a MAC-10, charged into the B bomb site like a wild dog, using the smoke and flames as cover!

He first quickly cleared the white car and sofa area to make sure no one was nearby. Then he scouted around the perimeter to confirm that the inside of the B bomb site was temporarily safe. He then immediately went to the side of the B connector smoke screen near the bomb site and blocked the only route for Dianzi and Longge, the two CTs who had pushed out from the front of B small, to return to the defense!
At the same time, his peripheral vision also caught a glimpse of the direction of the smoke coming from the supermarket window.

At this time, my cousin, who was in charge of harassment in area A, also began to send reinforcements to area B.

Little Li jumped out of the window, had m0NESY, who was holding a sniper rifle, hold the supermarket door inside the bomb site, and then he went straight into the smoke grenade area to start planting the bomb.

At this moment, Dianzige's team was already calling for their players to quickly return to defense via voice chat.

The three CTs from Area A—sjuush, Jabbi, and stavn—quickly regrouped and retreated from the direction of the supermarket to defend.

Sjuush, who was leading the charge, had just stepped out of the supermarket when he was accurately shot in the body by a child's sniper rifle, and his health bar instantly turned red!
But Jabbi, who came out from behind, managed to finish off the child during the gap when the child fired the second shot with the bird sniper rifle!
"Nice Bro!"

Stavn immediately gave his teammate Jabbi a thumbs up in the voice chat.

Jabbi raised an eyebrow triumphantly, seemingly taunting the G2 booth.

At the same time, Sjuush, who had been severely injured and retreated back into the supermarket, heard faint footsteps coming from behind the smoke wall connecting the B site to the partition.

Instead of jumping out of the supermarket window again, he waited patiently. The moment Brother Long emerged from the B-connecting archway through the smoke, the two of them formed a tacit, synchronized double pull, flanking T who was stuck in the corner!

"Oh! That double pull! Perfect timing! Dark's stuck in the corner between the sofa and the wall! That's a really uncomfortable spot!"

Exclaimed in surprise while playing with the machine.

"But wait! What?!"

Accompanied by a sudden, high-pitched scream from the player!
In the footage, Meng Lang, facing gunfire from two directions, remained completely calm! The unassuming hairdryer in his hand emitted a rapid and deadly "rat-a-tat-tat" sound!

Amidst the bursts of fire, he first fired a short burst with lightning speed, accurately headshotting Brother Long, who had been pulled out of the smoke at B-connection!
G2-Dark used a MAC-10 to headshot and kill HEROIC-TeSeS

Then, almost by muscle memory and incredible reaction speed, he suddenly turned around, jumped slightly, and fired a burst of bullets at the half-healthy Sjuush who was being pulled out from the direction of the supermarket!

Bullets rained down like a deluge, instantly engulfing Sjuush!

G2-Dark used a MAC-10 to kill HEROIC-sjuush.

This is not over yet!

After taking down the two in seconds, Meng Lang didn't stop and turned around to rush into the smoke in the B connection partition that hadn't completely dissipated!

Just then, they bumped into cadiaN, who was trying to get out to check the situation!

Meng Lang didn't give the other party any time to react. He jumped up and started "blowing" on Dianzi Ge's scalp with the hairdryer in his hand!
G2-Dark used a MAC-10 to headshot and kill HEROIC-cadiaN

Three kills!

What a terrifying hair dryer!!

In just two or three seconds, three kills filled the screen!

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments:
Holy crap! Dark's hair dryer!

[One magazine of bullets killed three?]

[They bounced out and killed everyone, that's what they said!]

[Is this rate of fire and recoil control even human?]

[So satisfying! Playing with a hair dryer is all about jumping around!]

However, during this period of Menglang's solo show, Xiao Li, who was planting the bomb at the bunker, and his cousin, who came to help from the dog hole, were also killed by Stavn and Jabbi from the supermarket.

The situation instantly turned into a 1v2 situation where the enemy was defending the bomb!

C4 has been successfully secured!

Meng Lang is all alone, facing the remaining "Danish brothers" Jabbi and Stavn of HEROIC!

"Oh! Dark picked up the sniper rifle that the kid dropped and jumped straight up to the second floor of B! Because Li Shen landed on the second floor of B! This position is perfect for setting up a sniper rifle!"

"Dark! You can't rush this! Rushing will cause problems! You have to be patient and use the AWP's advantage of maintaining distance to set up your gun!"

"Wait! What? Jabbi threw down his bag, lit a cigarette, and pulled it out of the supermarket first! He wanted to get into the smoke first! Stavn was helping him hold the line, but Dark sniped him with his AWP and shot him in the body!"

"Such a fast throw! He took down Jabbi in one go! Beautiful!"

G2-Dark killed HEROIC-Jabbi using SSG08.

"Oh right! Jabbi was also hit in the body by the kid's sniper rifle earlier, so she wasn't at full health! Now it's just a 1v1 duel between Dark and Stavn!"

"Stavn has already crept up to the base of the wall on the second floor of B. He's listening for sounds, waiting for Dark to make a sound on the second floor of B!"

"But Dark didn't let anything slip by! After killing Jabbi, he changed positions and hid in a corner on the second floor of Building B, not moving an inch! He wasn't in a hurry at all!"

"Dark is playing so steadily! They're not giving Stavn any chance at all!"

"Stavn! You little poop! What do you say? Time is running out!"

"Stavn can't wait any longer! He's planning to move his location, trying to trick Dark into coming out by pretending to be there! Dark! You can't fall for this trick!"

"Wait! What?!"

Amidst the exclamations of those playing with the machines,

Almost the instant Stavn carefully shifted his position from under the wall of B's ​​second floor, attempting to reach the bomb site, his back was inevitably and extremely briefly exposed to the area above B's second floor!

And in that split second!
From the window above B on the second floor, a figure leaped down like an eagle slaying a snake!
That's reckless!
The wind is howling!
He didn't even realize when he had already cut himself!

Stavn, who was moving, seemed to hear a strange noise above him. He panicked and instinctively looked up!

A figure flashed overhead!
He didn't even have time to pull the gun barrel!

The cold blade in Meng Lang's hand was already carrying the force of a downward fall!
It's coming down on my head!

Die, you bastard!!!
The sound effect of a blade piercing flesh rang out!
G2-Dark killed HEROIC-stavn with a knife.

Slice the "little angel" with a knife!
in an instant,
The live streams of major international and domestic sporting events exploded!!!
