CS2: My reaction speed is the limit of human capability.

Chapter 109 Clash on the First Map

The Krakow stadium on the day of the match.

The Tianlu team members arrived early. Although the match wasn't going to start for a while, everyone wanted to get there as soon as possible to familiarize themselves with the venue.

Inside the venue, many staff members were already busy at work. The ten computers on the main stage had been set up and were playing a promotional video for IEM Krakow on the big screen.

But the tense atmosphere before the competition was already permeating the air.

Tang sat in his seat, his fingers lightly tapping on the keyboard. He wasn't practicing shooting; he was just closing his eyes, feeling the tactile sensation of the keyboard and mouse.

Next, adjust the monitor and graphics card settings to ensure that all hardware meets your standards.

After doing all this, Tang suddenly froze.

He never imagined that he would actually come to this point.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Feng's voice came from the side.

Tang also came to his senses and turned his head. Ling Feng was looking at him, his face expressionless, but there was a reassuring power in his eyes.

"It's nothing," Tang smiled. "It just feels a little unreal."

Ling Feng simply smiled upon hearing this.

"Yeah..." His words were tinged with emotion. "I never imagined that just a few months ago we were playing games in our dorm room, and now we're already competing in S+ level CS tournaments."

The journey has felt like a dream.

But their story is far from over.

Zhong Weijie stood at the back, holding a tactics notebook. His expression was calm, with a smile on his lips.

"Alright, everyone come over here." He clapped his hands.

Five people gathered around.

Zhong Weijie opened his tactics notebook, which was filled with notes on Green Dragon's positioning, habits, and timing of item usage. He had spent several sleepless nights compiling this.

"The core of the Green Dragons is Donk, that goes without saying," Zhong Weijie said calmly. "Their tactical system revolves around Donk. Give Donk the best resources, let Donk break through the defenses, and the others follow up with follow-up shots."

"I've already devised the corresponding tactics for you. As I said before, communicate more and follow orders." Zhong Weijie stared into the eyes of the young men, speaking each word carefully.

He had done everything he could; he had explained everything he was supposed to do and say before the competition. But now, he was not going to leave it to fate.

He believes that these young men have the potential to create any miracle.

Chung Wai-kit took a deep breath and said one last thing.

"Today, we're going to show our true colors. Losing isn't shameful; being afraid is."

The Green Dragons' team members gradually arrived at the competition venue, and Donk even waved to Tang from afar.

After all, they were good buddies who ranked up together, and Tang Ye was both skilled and humble, which made dok like him a lot.

"I wish he were my teammate..." Little Donkey muttered to himself.

Do you remember when Donk's four teammates went to the temple to pray for blessings and received four ominous items?

The host then said that they had held it crookedly, and that the word on it actually meant "district".

Although the Green Dragon's apparent firepower does seem impressive, just like the Falcon, it only manages to cripple two or three enemies at a time, sometimes three or four.

Just like Falcon, their performance is inconsistent. The Green Dragons are now top-notch in terms of command and equipment, which has further reduced their competitiveness and caused their world ranking to drop lower and lower.

Although he is currently going through a painful transition period due to a change in leadership, this period has been far too long. However, Green Dragons is his former club that nurtured him, and Donk doesn't want to transfer to another club, so he can only continue to suffer here, hoping that one day he can rise again.

"I hope the brothers can stand up today and not be so weak..."

'

The competition has not yet started, and all ten players on the field have begun practicing their shooting.

Each player has their own way of practicing shooting, and Tang prefers to practice flick shots and AKs using Aimrush. Alternatively, he might directly set up ten bots at the highest difficulty in practice mode and then practice against them on the actual match map.

"Bang bang bang"

The gunfire was dense and even, with a rhythm so fast it was dizzying.

Ling Feng glanced at it from the side, his lips twitching slightly.

This person's accuracy is simply outrageous.

At this moment, all that remained on the field was the clicking of the mouse and keyboard, and ten pairs of focused eyes.

The competition began in this atmosphere.

"Here it comes, here it comes, guys! IEM Krakow Group Stage, TyLoo vs. Green Dragons!"

The voice playing with the machine had a captivating charm, and the speed of the speech was like rap.

He was wearing a red team uniform today, a Tianlu team uniform he had specially kept, and his expression was even more festive than during the Chinese New Year.

"I don't need to elaborate on the importance of this match, right? There are no neutral commentators today, TyLoo is my only ray of sunshine!" Wanji immediately stood at attention, saluted, and declared, "Loyalty! Forever!"

A barrage of comments flooded in.

【loyalty!】

When will the "God of Games" take over the Blue House?

Please, please don't let g0d become d0g!

[Donk, go easy on me]

[Send more to the little hole, and let him get dizzy a few more times.]

Forget it, TyLoo can only beat second-tier weak teams. They can't beat a team like Green Dragon, which is essentially a gun-heavy team.

Wanji glanced at the chat and chuckled, "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, guys. Think about it, three months ago, who would have thought TyLoo would make it to the IEM group stage? Who would have thought a newbie who had only played CS for three months could slaughter s1mple and EliGE like pigs? So, don't rush to conclusions."

His gaze returned to the screen, where the BP interface had appeared.

"Alright, let's see the ban/pick phase. TyLoo bans first, directly banning Anubis. Green Dragon bans..."

The town map was removed. This map is an absolute strong map for TyLoo, and it's also a map that Green Dragon would never play. Banning it was expected.

"Let's take a look at the map picks! TyLoo chose Mirage first, while Green Dragons chose Dust 2 – both maps that perfectly suit their playstyles!"

It's not surprising that both sides banned and picked the same machine.

On the map Anubis, the bandit bomb team has an absolute advantage, which is very beneficial for a bandit team like Green Dragon. In addition, TyLoo's understanding of this map is still a bit lacking, so banning it is reasonable.

As for Green Dragon banning Town, it's not a new thing, it just so happens that this time it's a strong map for TyLoo.

As for TyLoo choosing Mili and Green Dragon choosing Sand 2, it was expected. Both are classic maps, and both teams are very familiar with their tactics and strategies. The competition will come down to mid-game decision-making and gun skills.

But what surprised the players was the subsequent ban/pick phase.

TyLoo then banned Overpass, while Green Dragons chose to ban Ancient Ruins, turning the decisive map into Nuke.

"Ah, the Green Dragon didn't ban Nuka-Crisis, but instead banned Ancient Ruins and let Nuke go."

"Is that right?"

Playing with the machines, I gradually realized that things were not so simple.

Logically speaking, when Nuke and Ancient Relics are placed on the Green Dragon's face at the same time, it's like putting a piece of chocolate and a bone in front of a dog.

Chocolate is indeed delicious, but it will kill a dog if it eats it. As for the bone from the ancient ruins, which has little meat, it is tasteless but a pity to throw away. At least it won't kill the dog if it eats it, and it might even give it a taste of sweetness.

"Is this some kind of brain game, Masi? Are you going to use your amazing coaching skills to start manipulating the game?"

Playing with the machine, I really didn't expect that the muscle-bound Green Dragon would choose Nuke instead of Ancient Ruins. I also find it hard to imagine what tactics Green Dragon had prepared for Nuke.

Lost City in the Desert.

Tianlu, the defending side at the start.

"What did the pistol bureau say?" Tang also asked.

Hamburg thought for a moment: "Let's go with 3A2B. Two pistols each guarding the second floor of two points, with a smoke grenade and a flashbang at each point."

TyLoo started the pistol round with the usual default settings, sticking to the status quo and figuring out the opponent's offensive rhythm before making adjustments.

However, the Green Dragon's attack came rather slowly.

Donk didn't charge forward as usual, but instead stayed put with his teammates. tN1R threw a VIP smoke grenade, obscuring VIP's vision, magi roamed around mid lane gathering information, and zont1 made a commotion on the second floor of A.

This is a rare slow-paced play for the Green Dragons.

Tang Ye frowned slightly. He held the VIP seat and tentatively tried to smoke a few cigarettes as the smoke exploded. When he didn't get a cigarette, he immediately changed positions and went to the archway.

"There are footsteps on the second floor of Building A," Xiao Ju's voice came through the audio. "At least one."

"The VIP got a cigarette," Tang followed up with the call.

Hamburger's brain is working at lightning speed.

The others were in Area A at that moment, so they could naturally hear zont1's footsteps on the second floor of Area A.

But that footstep sounded far too deliberate.

This is a professional competition, do you really think someone would make such a basic mistake?

Hamburger had a vague idea in his mind. His real intention was to deliberately slow down on the second floor (A), while secretly planning to sneak onto B on the central road!

Hamburger's judgment was correct.

Just as Tang Ye switched positions and arrived at the archway, the smoke from the archway instantly dissipated, and hurried footsteps came from the direction of B. It wasn't just one person, but at least two.

"B-School!" Ling Feng's voice was urgent. "They're going to attack B-School!"

Tang's heart skipped a beat. He immediately turned from the archway towards the police spawn, preparing to return to defend Sector B. But the Green Dragon's attack came faster than he expected.

tN1R and magi rushed out from B, forming a perfect offensive formation, one in front of the other. tN1R

Pull the firing line, Magi follows up with a shot.

But the real attack came from the second floor of Building B.

Two flashbangs from the second floor of B, combined with the flashbang thrown by Masixi at the small B site, left Lingfeng nowhere to hide. Then, Donk threw a white car fire, and sh1ro, together with Donk, jumped down from the second floor of B, flanking the small B site while attacking the bomb site.

Intense fighting broke out instantly in area B.

Mo Siyu, who was under the white car, was burned out and desperately took the place of sh1ro who jumped off the window, but was instantly killed by donk.

B's Lingfeng killed tN1R, who was pulling the gun line, but before Ma Xixi could even make a move, Donk hit her with a 180-degree shot.

Du pulled the gun and instantly killed Ling Feng.

"B site has fallen!" The voice of someone playing with a machine exploded in the live stream. "Green Dragon's attack from B site's small area and second floor was too fast! TyLoo's B site defense line was instantly torn apart!"

At that moment, B bomb site fell instantly, but Tang and his two teammates quickly returned to defend.

At this moment, there are only two people at bomb site B, and the person on the second floor of site A is showing their footsteps, so this is a local 2v3 situation!

Tang and his two companions spotted the police station on the second floor of Building A and planned to return to their post from there.

Strangely, despite B area being occupied for so long, no bomb has been planted.

"Could it be that they're waiting for their teammates on the second floor of A to arrive?" Hamburger wondered.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

The bandits did indeed plant a trap, but it doesn't count as being in B.

Instead, it's in A.

"Oh no, TyLoo is completely outmaneuvered! Does Green Dragon even have this kind of tactic in the pistol round?" From the very beginning of the game, he felt that this round was not simple, and subsequent events only confirmed his premonition.

Because zont1, who was seen peeking out from the second floor of A, was actually a thief!

Because Area B fell too quickly, this crucial information was never obtained by Tianlu, as Bao Fei never showed up!

The current situation is that Green Dragon's Donk and Masisi have already arrived at the archway after capturing Area B, and the outer bomb site of Area A has also been planted by the overlord.

At this moment, Donk and Ma Xixi had already secured the VIP section of the archway, while the sect leader had mysteriously returned to A.

The second floor.

Even with items, it's very difficult for the CT to win this endgame.

In the end, TyLoo decided to give it a try, but they only managed to pull off a 3-for-2 trade, giving Donk a quadra kill.

"The Green Dragons won the pistol round." The voice of the man playing the machine was a little hoarse. "It was a fierce exchange, but the Green Dragons had the last laugh."

The score is 0-1.

A brief silence fell over Tianlu's voice channel.

"Mine," Ling Feng said in a low voice, "B couldn't handle it."

"It's not your fault," Hamburger said calmly. "They do play fast. Next point EC0, we're betting on B."

Second place, Tianlu ECO.

Tang only bought a Desert Eagle, while the rest of the team were all wearing half armor and had no guns. All five of them gambled on Site B, waiting for the Green Dragon's attack.

However, Green Dragon chose to attack site A, leaving Hamburg with only one order to save his weapon (caII).

The third point, a long-range round.

Tianlu's finances were not good; only Tang Ye and Ling Feng had long spears, while the rest were armed with submachine guns and other weapons.

Hamburger concluded: "We have more guns in this round. After providing anti-rush items as soon as possible, we will organize a counter-clear at A gate. Once we confirm that there is no one near the point, we will revert to the 3B formation."

"receive."

The five members of TyLoo quickly dispersed. After the initial rush defense ended, TyLoo immediately began preparing for A1.

Anti-Qing.

Hamburger's voice rang out: "Tang Ye, you come with me. Ling Feng, throw the flashbang for us. Xiao Ju, Si Yu, hold your ground in Area B."

"no problem."

TyLoo's counter-clearing of A1 was very clever. Since Green Dragon won the first two rounds, they probably didn't have a sniper rifle. So TyLoo first had Ling Feng observe from the jump platform. After confirming that no one was seen, Hamburger and Tang Ye made a silent approach to A1.

As luck would have it, the Green Dragons' latest attack was aimed at the bomb site in Area A, and Donk and Masisi were already in position at the bomb site.

At this moment, after completing the default mid-lane setup, the Green Dragon immediately returned to a 2A second floor 3A1 formation, with A1 preparing bombs and coordinating with the top and bottom fire and flashbangs on A second floor.

Donk looked worried: "Isn't anyone here setting up guns on A1? Not even one person?"

Masisi, however, didn't seem to care.

"They're facing TyLoo, how could they possibly clear A1 without using flashbangs?"

Donk thought about it and agreed.

Then he saw a flash of light thrown down from above.
