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

Chapter 111 1v3

The countdown has reached zero.

Tang Ye's fingers landed steadily on the keyboard, and on the screen, his character was holding a sniper rifle and rushing towards the VIP area.

Unarmored sniper rifle.

This was an extremely risky choice. No helmet, no body armor, just a $4750 AWP and a high-explosive grenade. Any attack could instantly vaporize him.

But Tang did not hesitate.

He trusted Zhong Weijie's judgment and his own marksmanship.

"Lingfeng, have you reached the archway yet?" Hamburger's voice came through the voice chat, very low.

"We've arrived." Ling Feng's voice was equally deep. "Si Yu and I are in position."

At this moment, the person playing the machine, with a god-like perspective, sat up straight, their eyes fixed on the screen.

"Tianlu has set up a mid-lane trap!" His voice was a mix of excitement and tension. "VIP's Tang Ye has an unarmored sniper rifle, Archway's Ling Feng and Mo Siyu have dual M4s, and Xiao Ju and Hamburger have dual MP9s closer to the mid-lane! Five people, three lines of fire, all pointing towards the mid-lane!"

"Green Dragons are sticking to their usual strategy: VIP uses smoke and flashbangs to take the middle lane, with donk leading the charge, tN1R following behind, and sh1ro providing cover fire with his AWP!"

The person playing with the machine was speaking faster and faster.

"Here he comes! Donk bursts out from the terrorist spawn! He didn't throw any gadgets, just went all in! He even had his teammates throw flashbangs for him—that's Donk! That's the confidence of ToP1!"

"But he doesn't seem worried about the sniper rifle threat! Actually, VIP does have one sniper rifle mounted in a direct-fire configuration!"

Donk, with the help of Flashbang, took the lead and pulled out, but there was basically no CT in sight.

Tang was also holding the smoke grenade tightly in VIP mode, waiting for his teammates' signal.

At this moment, Green Dragon successfully secured control of the mid lane, placed a smoke grenade at the archway, and then began preparing to control the map. tN1R, in coordination with donk's flashbang, went to control B short, while donk prepared to move to the trough to clear the double-stack position at B short with the flashbang.

However, at this moment, all of Tianlu's team members were already in place.

"Let's do it!" Hamburger made a decisive decision.

Ling Feng and Mo Siyu threw flashbangs from the archway, and a dazzling white light exploded in the sky above B Elementary School. At the same time, Hamburger and Xiao Ju, who were holding MP9s, immediately pulled out of B Elementary School.

Two hair dryers, delivering a brutal attack at close range.

[Mercury and jamyoung (assist) used MP9 to headshot and kill tN1R]

tN1R didn't even have time to fire a shot before being killed at close range by the hairdryer while dodging.

However, donk is unaffected.

The instant the flash went off, Donk had instinctively turned his back. His screen only turned slightly white, and his vision was barely affected.

The AK's muzzle spits fire.

Donk used an AK47 to headshot and kill Jamyoung.

Donk used an AK47 to headshot Mercury.

Xiao Ju and Hamburger fell almost simultaneously. A smooth sweep and spin, a clean and neat maneuver that seemed beyond human capabilities.

"Donk!!! It's Donk again!!!" The voice playing the bot was already hoarse. "He backflashed and killed two people! Is this the stats of TOP1?!"

But Tianlu's attack was not over yet.

Ling Feng and Mo Siyu emerged from the smoke at the archway. Two people, two M4s, one emerging from the front of the smoke and the other from the side, their combined flashbangs creating a perfect double pull.

"Da da da yi"

Feng used an M4A4 to headshot and kill donk.

"Donk's down!!! Ling Feng and Mo Siyu finished him off with that shot!!!" Wanji stood up from his chair. "But where's SH1ro? Where's SH1ro?"

sh1ro's sniper rifle was positioned behind the terrorist spawn point, facing the VIP direction. The instant donk fell, his crosshair was already locked onto Lingfeng, who was emerging from the archway.

A quick flick of the gun.

"Bang!"

The roar of the sniper rifle echoed throughout the desolate city.

But the bullet grazed Ling Feng's ear and hit the wall behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

sh1ro missed.

This moment of hesitation could be fatal.

In the VIP smoke, Tang Ye's finger was already on the left mouse button.

The grenade flew out from the VIP and exploded in the smoke. The thick white fog was torn open, revealing SH1ro's location.

Tang Ye's aiming reticle had already locked onto that position.

"Bang!"

g0d used an AWP to headshot and kill sh1ro.

"Tang Ye!!! Tang Ye used smoke to snipe sh1ro!!!" The voice of the player was completely shattered. "This was a mid-lane counter-purge, and the close coordination from three directions gave TyLoo a numerical advantage!"

TyLoo had already gained a numerical advantage, turning the situation into a 3 vs. 2. At that moment, Zont1 and Magi were making default decisions at points A and B when they were suddenly shocked by the bad news.

The remaining two did not choose to save their weapons and continued to organize the attack.

They planted the bomb in area B and attempted a 2v3 defense, but after managing to trade two kills, Tang managed to secure the point.

The score became Tianlu 2:3 Green Dragon.

Tianlu is one point behind.

But no one in the battle area showed any sign of frustration. They had fought hard for this point, but ultimately won it.

"They'll most likely go on an eco round next time." Hamburger's voice was low, but he spoke very quickly. "Magi and Donk will at most get a Hero AK, and the others can only get a Hair Dryer or a Desert Eagle."

"Let's launch a heavy attack on B site." Hamburger tapped the minimap with his finger. "Tang Ye, you take the AWP and go to the second floor of B. Ling Feng, you go to B short. Si Yu and I will defend the A and B bomb sites respectively. Xiao Ju, you go to the archway and put pressure on A site."

"receive."

All five people nodded at the same time.

Tang, wielding his sniper rifle, rushed towards the second floor of Building B, jumped onto the white car, and steadily positioned himself deep inside Building B. Ling Feng, meanwhile, listened for footsteps in the lower part of Building B.

"There are footsteps on the second floor of Building B," Ling Feng said in a low voice. "At least two."

Tang Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

From deep within the second floor of Building B, hurried footsteps echoed. It wasn't just one person, but at least two.

"Bang!"

Tang fired first. His sniper rifle accurately hit the head of the tN1R that was at the forefront.

gOd used an AWP to headshot and kill tN1R.

"One shot! Tang also took down the tN1R in a second!" The voice of someone playing with a machine exploded in the live stream. "But Donk's bullets have already arrived!"

Donk pulled his AK out from the second floor of Building B and finished off Tang Ye with lightning speed, the bullet hitting Tang Ye's head with pinpoint accuracy.

[donk used an AK47 to headshot and kill g0d]

Tang had already seen Donk about to be pulled out when he killed tN1R, but unfortunately the AWP was in a downtime, so he had no choice but to jump off the white car. However, Donk's follow-up shot came too quickly.

After breaking through Tang Ye, Ling Feng from B Xiao tried his best to take down Donk, but was also taken down by the follow-up shot.

Hamburger tried to take over the bun spot, but to no avail. The bun spot was easily captured, and Xiao Ju and Si Yu chose to save their guns.

"mine..."

Tang looked at the black and white screen, touched his head, and rubbed his temples.

The spot he was standing in was his usual spot; generally, he could catch people 100% of the time from there, and he did catch them.

However, the green dragon with the donk wouldn't give him time to retreat, and directly used a finishing shot to cut off his escape attempt.

Trading a gunner's position with the team's main sniper is definitely a loss for Tang, and he naturally knew this too. He made a mistake in this move.

He underestimated Donk's strength.

Meanwhile, in live stream room 6657.

He leaned back in his gaming chair, eyes glued to the barrage of comments on the screen. A storm was brewing there.

[g0d? d0g! Killed like a dog by donk]

[They can only beat weak teams; their true colors are revealed when they face strong teams.]

[I told you TyLoo is just a team that stomps noobs. They're okay against second-tier teams like Liquid BC, but they'll be wiped out by Green Dragon.]

[They're just data-boosting players. What kind of opponents were they fighting against? S1mple is so old, and Elige is getting on in years.]

[Tang Ye's positioning is so bad, he always gets arrested by Donk.]

[CNCS's hope? Is that all?]

[After boasting about the limits of human capability for so long, he got one-shotted by Donk.]

The barrage of comments surged like a tide, with densely packed words piled up, each sentence like a needle.

The man playing with the machine frowned.

This is the pinnacle of human potential in China, with the added bonus of nationality and title, making him the ultimate master of machine manipulation.

Seeing my dad get scolded, I couldn't stand playing the game.

Tang led his team to win the ZEM championship and even made it to the group stage of IEM Krakow. Now he's being criticized like this because of one mistake.

He usually turns a blind eye, but now he can't stand it anymore and has to say something.

"Brothers, I took a look at the comments." His voice wasn't loud, but he emphasized each word. "Some people are saying that G0D can only play against weak teams, that he's a stat padder, and that he'll show his true colors when he faces strong teams."

"I just want to ask one question—did you guys watch the game?"

He paused, his tone becoming more serious.

"Are BC a weak team? Are s1mple and electroNic weak teams? You call these weak teams? Then tell me, what makes a strong team?"

"Is Liquid a weak team? Elige, NAF, Siuhy, are these guys weak? Do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about the term 'weak team'?"

The person playing with the machine spoke faster and faster, and their voice became louder and louder.

"Besides, who are we playing against today? Green Dragons! A top-ten team in the world! Donk! The number one team for 24 years! g0d has only been playing CS for three months, and this is their first time participating in an S-level tournament. They managed to perform like this against Donk. What more do you want?"

"Look at his stats, buddy. He hasn't even started researching yet, and he's got a few key kills. Why is he getting criticized for this?"

"I think I've figured it out now. Some people just can't stand to see CNCS do well. If TyLoo wins, they say the opposing team is weak; if TyLoo loses, they say TyLoo is noob. No matter what, they always have something to say."

"If G0D plays well, they say it's stomping noobs; if G0D plays poorly, they say it's showing their true colors. Either way, you're always right, so why even watch the game? Just start trash-talking!"

However, the trend of the comments didn't change much.

[Playing: Getting impatient]

[This hit a nerve]

Anyone who dares to criticize my dad? I'll fight them to the death!

[This was a total loss, huh? And we can't even complain about it?]

[This is supposed to be a neutral livestream? It's ridiculous!]

I'm numb, completely numb.

I'm starting to lose interest in streaming because of playing with the machines; I'm even tempted to just end the stream now.

These comments were driving him crazy and making him incredibly irritable. But he also knew that ending the broadcast now would be giving them ammunition against him and only making things worse for him.

So, those who play with the machine have no choice but to grit their teeth and keep broadcasting.

Moreover, he believes that Tang Ye's performance this time will not affect his mentality, but will instead help him learn from his mistakes and play better and better.

Ultimately, it proved those haters wrong.

In the seventh round, TyLoo had two long spears, so Green Dragon didn't choose a fast attack this time, but instead opted for a slow-paced map control strategy.

Magi set up his gun at the terrorist spawn point, tN1R and zont1 controlled the second floors of A and B respectively, while donk and sh1ro roamed the middle lane looking for opportunities.

"Green Dragon played very steadily this round." The voice of the player in the live stream rang out, returning to its usual pace, "No rush, no panic, slowly control the map. They're going to wear down TyLoo's defenses little by little."

Tianlu also adopted a steady and methodical approach. Tang Ye's M4 kept switching positions between VIP and Arch, Ling Feng and Mo Siyu were in the default position in Area B, while Xiao Ju and Hamburger were guarding Area A.

Time passed by, second by second.

1分30秒，1分20秒，1分10秒————

"The Green Dragon has moved!" The voice playing the machine suddenly rose in pitch. "Magi and Donk are advancing from the second floor of Archway A, they're going to launch a pincer attack on Area A!"

Tang Ye's M4 was steadily positioned towards the archway, and through the smoke, he saw a hazy black shadow.

Magi was pulled out of the archway.

"DaDaDa39"

g0d used an M4A4 to headshot and kill magi.

"Tang has taken down Magi in a second!" The voice of someone playing with a machine exploded in the live stream. "But the attack on Area A has already begun! Donk has already jumped down from the second floor of Area A!"

Donk pulled out his AK from the second floor of A with a flashbang, and the bullet accurately hit Xiaoju.

Donk used an AK47 to headshot and kill Jamyoung.

"Xiao Ju is down! But Ling Feng's finishing shot is here!"

Ling Feng pulled his M4 out from the direction of the police spawn, and bullets poured out, hitting Donk's body.

Feng killed Donk with an M4A4.

"Donk's down too! TyLoo pulled off a brilliant trade of kills!" Player Machine jumped up from his chair. "But Green Dragon's attack isn't over yet!"

tN1R and zont1 pulled out from A1 and the second floor of A1 at the same time, and the two AKs formed a perfect crossfire.

Mo Siyu's MP9 was pulled out from the bomb site and hit tN1R's body, but zont1's bullet was faster.

[zont1 used an AK47 to headshot and kill Moseyuh]

tN1R used an AK47 to headshot and kill Mercury.

The hamburger also collapsed.

Only Tang Ye and Ling Feng remained on the field, facing the Green Dragons' tN1R, zont1, and sh1ro.

"2v3! Can TyLoo still win?" The voice playing the machine trembled. "Green Dragon has already planted the bomb!"

Knowing his location had been locked, Ling Feng decided to drag the person who planted the bomb out and kill them, hoping to buy Tang Ye some time at the archway.

But this was a fake burial; all three bandits were actually holding him hostage.

[zont1 killed Feng with an AK47]

"They're all in Area A!" Ling Feng reported the final information.

Now only Tang Ye is left in the Tianlu arena, and his position is also revealed.

「唐也！只剩下唐也一个人了！绿龙还有tN1R、zont1和sh1ro！」玩机器的声音已经沙哑，「这是一个1v3的残局！双方的位置都是明牌的！」

"The guns are of poor quality and the positions are obvious. The only slightly favorable news is that the bandits haven't planted the bomb yet! Can Tang still win?"

'

Tang Ye's M4 was steadily positioned in the direction of A1. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing was even, and his pupils were slightly constricted.

In a daze, he seemed to enter that world again. His thoughts became clear again.

He's about to start dealing with this mess.
