Chapter 116 Design

As soon as the words "playing with the machine" were spoken, the long-range rifle round in Sand 2 officially began.

Hamburger's instructions were concise and precise: "Standing position is still 3A2B, we'll stick to the standard default. Listen carefully to the signals, don't rush forward, wait for them to move first."

In this round, Tianlu still maintained map control by default. Tang controlled A main with the help of smoke grenades at A gate and blue box fire, while the rest of the team guarded the back point to gather information and used items to harass the opponent and bleed them out.

A site was successfully taken over, and Green Dragon didn't even provide many items at A site, only symbolically firing a few shots out of the smoke.

"No one and no equipment from A University." Tang also held his AWP steadily at the A gate, the muzzle of the gun firmly aimed at the A gate.

Then Ling Fenglai and Tang Ye switched positions, with Ling Fenglai taking over to guard Area A, and then Tang Ye switching to guard the A slope to defend the A small area.

Tianlu's current defensive formation is as follows: Lingfeng is defending A site, Tang is also at A slope, Hamburger is at the police spawn listening to the sounds at A site and watching the time to prepare to use anti-power items, Mo Siyu is guarding the B site, and Xiao Ju is listening to sounds near B site in the sand.

Green Dragon didn't make many moves, still using smoke in the middle lane. Then, Xiao Ju in the sand heard footsteps from B2, along with the sound of a flashbang, which meant that Green Dragon had completed the first phase of map control.

"There are at least two players in the middle," Xiao Ju reported.

Upon hearing footsteps in the middle lane, Xiao Ju immediately threw an X-box grenade and fired a few more rounds before retreating to the back point to prevent the Green Dragon from counter-farming in the middle lane again.

At the same time, the B sniper position was also set on fire by the Green Dragon, and the CT spawn smoke and mid-lane flashbang were also thrown in.

"They gave me a smoke grenade and a flashbang in mid, but I couldn't see it immediately." Xiao Ju, positioned in the sand pit, said, "I'm watching mid, watch out for A small."

Hamburger immediately threw two small A grenades over, and saved one grenade to use as a smoke grenade to blow up the police spawn's B smoke grenade.

"I'll go to the slope, Tang, you take the A-class car a little further." Hamburger adjusted the two of them's positions.

"Okay." Tang immediately agreed, gave a small A flash and then switched positions, directly positioning himself to cross the A small point, while letting Hamburger go to the slope.

However, just as Hamburger reached the slope and had not yet had a chance to get a foothold, a sudden change occurred in direction A.

Two smoke grenades flew out from point A one after the other, covering the entire point A and making it impossible to see anything.

Immediately afterwards, the flames began to rage.

The goose-shaped fire, the bomb site fire, and the ramp fire—three incendiary bombs landed almost simultaneously, and the raging flames completely covered several key positions at bomb site A.

"Holy crap!" Hamburger's voice exploded in the voice chat, "A small bomb's gone!"

Hamburger, while talking, suddenly turned on A, a small bomb.

Tang was also aiming at point A, but the smoke made it impossible for him to see anything. Green Dragon's bomb blast had covered the area too completely with his items.

And it's not over yet.

Several flashbangs flew out from the direction of A, at extremely tricky angles, with different trajectories. They exploded above the A bomb site, and the dazzling white light instantly engulfed the entire A area.

Tang instinctively turned his back, but the angle of the flash was too tricky, and his screen remained completely white.

Hamburg wasn't in much better shape. He had barely steadied himself on the slope, and before he could even set up his gun, he was tormented by flames and flashes of light.

Meanwhile, in live stream room 6657.

Playing with the machine made me sit up straight in my chair.

"Brothers, did you see that?" His voice was filled with disbelief and shock. "Green Dragon's A-site bomb tactic! That's the Little Bee's signature A-site bomb tactic!"

"A small cigarette light, a bag cigarette light, a goose-shaped firework, a bag firework, a slope firework, and those few all-white flashbangs in area A. The position of every item, the timing of every item, is terrifyingly precise! No, are these still the Green Dragon's items?"

As a long-time viewer, I know exactly what kind of skill Green Dragons possesses with their items. They're the kind of team that can miss even when throwing smoke bombs at the middle gate. Yet, they didn't make a single mistake with this wave of Little Bee Bombs, which shows how long they've been practicing.

This makes playing with the machine a little worrying.

"And brothers, you need to know that the hardest part of this bomb set is not throwing the items themselves, but the coordination of five people."

Who throws what, when they throw it, and where they throw it—every detail must be perfect. The Green Dragons' ability to execute this bomb-burst strategy demonstrates their thorough pre-match preparation.

"Tianlu is in trouble now. Point A is completely covered by props, and the hamburger can't stay on the slope at all. Tang is also holding point A."

The small area was also blocked by smoke. Can TyLoo hold on this wave?

The camera cuts back to the match.

Hamburger gritted his teeth and peered over the slope. His vision hadn't fully returned, but he could already hear rapid footsteps in his earpiece; the Green Dragons' attack had begun.

Hamburg's ramp is currently completely covered, and he has no choice but to force his way out to see if he can trade for another one, or at least gain some health.

However, he faces 2024T0P1.

Hamburger held an M4, the muzzle pointed towards A small. A dark figure emerged from the smoke.

It's donk.

Hamburg reacted quickly, pulling the trigger the instant he saw Donk. M4 bullets poured out, but Donk was even faster.

"Da da da—"

'

Donk used an AK47 to headshot Mercury.

Hamburger fell fast asleep instantly, and it was no use that he saw Donk's location first.

Tang Ye's sniper rifle was steadily positioned at the A short point. Although his vision was obscured by smoke, he still had room to use his sniper rifle on the A platform.

Tang also saw an extremely tiny scalp and immediately fired.

"Bang!"

g0d used an AWP to headshot and kill magi.

"Hamburger was pulled out and killed by Donk, but Tang's AWP is still holding the point!"

"Here it comes! One shot! Tang also took down Magi in a second!" The voice of someone playing with a machine exploded in the live stream. "But Donk has already rushed into the bomb site! The AWP is currently in a firepower vacuum, Tang has no choice but to retreat!"

Tang was naturally aware of this. The moment he killed Magi, he had already begun to retreat back to A University.

"The buns are gone!" Tang Ye's voice was urgent. "I'm retreating, you guys get back to defend!"

Ling Feng's heart sank.

He was stationed at Area A. Through the information in the voice message, he could already imagine the devastation in Area A.

Hamburger is down, Tang is back, and Bread Point A is now completely exposed to the Green Dragon's firepower.

But Ling Feng didn't immediately run to point A.

His mind was racing. The Green Dragon's attack was too fast; the series of maneuvers—A small bomb, gadget coverage, and Donk breakthrough—was fluid and seamless, clearly a well-designed tactic.

This tactic usually involves a step of flanking from behind.

If someone sneaks out from Gate A and steals the back of the A-team's defensive players, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'll clear door A first," Ling Feng said in a low voice. "You guys go back first, I'll be there soon."

His gun was steadily aimed at the A door, and he advanced step by step.

Sure enough, zont1 was crouching at the corner behind A gate, his gun pointed towards A main, clearly waiting for TyLoo's returning defenders.

The moment he saw the person, Ling Feng pulled the trigger, and the M4 bullets poured out.

But zont1 reacted quickly. He already had a superior gun position and the advantage of the AK, so in theory, beating Lingfeng shouldn't have been a problem.

The problem was that all of zont1AK's bullets hit Lingfeng's body, while Lingfeng's two precise headshots killed zont1.

Feng used an M4A4 to headshot and kill zont1.

"Great job! That's how you beat up a body-wracking dog!" The player grinned. "Ling Feng counter-killed Zont1 at A-gate."

This was crucial! If Zont1 had managed to back down the defender, TyLoo's rotation would have resulted in at least one more player dying!

"Sect Master, you can't win the game by just showing off your body!"

"But what about Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu's defensive rotation? tN1R is already waiting for them in the mid-lane rift. This is Green Dragon's planned strategy!"

In fact, the smoke grenade and flashbang that Green Dragon threw at the CT base and mid lane was not only a smokescreen to confuse TyLoo, but also a small design to secretly insert the tN1R into the mid lane recess.

In this way, the tN1R not only avoids the line of fire from the police spawn, but also can be pulled out with a flashbang. After clearing out the nearby targets with fire, he doesn't need to worry about the nearby gun lines.

The central recess is an extremely insidious position. From here, you can clearly hear the footsteps of all enemies returning from the sand to defend Area A, while the enemy has a hard time spotting you immediately.

His next task was simply to wait for his teammates to initiate at A site, while he stayed in the middle to intercept the retreat.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu had already gathered on the sand, and the information coming through their earpieces made their hearts sink.

Bread shop A is gone, Tang has returned, and hamburger shop has collapsed.

"The smoke from the police station hasn't cleared yet!" Xiao Ju's voice was urgent. "I can't see the situation at the bakery, so I can only go back from A-section!"

Mo Siyu gritted her teeth: "I'll follow behind you and finish you off."

The two of them, one in front of the other, made their way from the sand towards point A.

Although the two players had anticipated the mid-lane chasm, Green Dragon's design went far beyond that.

Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu heard the sound of a grenade hitting the ground.

"Bang!"

The grenade blew open the smoke in the police house, and Donk and Sh1ro were taking them down.

This is the final link in the Green Dragon strategy.

Green Dragons were well aware that the mid-lane trough would be cleared, but as long as the police diverted their attention and opened up a second firing line, few people paid attention to the trough anymore, which made tN1R a dark side.

Even if Tianlu still manages to kill tN1R while holding the groove, the Green Dragon, which explodes in the smoke, is confident in killing Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu, who have exposed their vision.

As expected, Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu were immediately distracted by the smoke from the police station, and at that moment, Green Dragon's sh1ro, donk, and tN1R began to fire in unison.

[tN1R+donk used an AK47 to headshot and kill jamyoung]

sh1ro killed Moseyuh using an AWP.

Mo Siyu was taken down by sh1ro's sniper rifle before she could even fire. Xiao Ju fired a few shots at Donk afterward, but tN1R in the recess took advantage of the firing time to pull out and kill Xiao Ju.

In the scene, Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu fall down at almost the same time.

The moment the smoke grenade exploded, Donk and sh1ro's gunfire locked onto their positions. Meanwhile, the tN1R in the recess, like a venomous snake lying in wait, bared its fangs the instant its prey was distracted.

Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu were completely powerless against the Green Dragon's sudden coordinated attack and were killed instantly.

"This Green Dragon design is insane, guys! It's honestly kind of terrifying!" The voice of the machine player was filled with shock and helplessness. "Is this still the Green Dragon? It feels so unfamiliar!"

"Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu returned from the sandy area to defend, but the CT's smoke grenade was detonated, and their attention was entirely focused on bomb site A, on Donk and Sh1ro. They knew there might be someone in the trough, but they couldn't do anything about it."

"Donk and sh1ro drew attention and acted as bait, turning the normally must-search area into a hidden spot! tN1R, working in tandem with Donk and sh1ro, caught Xiaoju and Mo Siyu off guard!"

"This is a dead end. No matter what Tianlu chooses, they will pay the price!"

The camera cuts back to the match.

At this moment, Xiao Ju and Mo Siyu have been killed in action, and the Green Dragon has completely liberated the front line of the sandy area, leaving only Tang Ye and Ling Feng from the well-known A University.

However, the Green Dragons did not intend to target them. Instead, they prepared to set up their own positions to defend the bomb and secure the point.

In the direction of A, Tang Ye and Ling Feng leaned against the cover, and the kill announcement coming from the upper right corner silenced them.

"Xiao Ju and Si Yu have both fallen." Ling Feng's voice was low, tinged with resentment. "Now only the two of us are left."

Tang didn't say anything either.

Green Dragon has probably already set up his defensive formation, and his and Ling Feng's positions are clear, with Ling Feng's health also low.

Both of them knew that saving their guns was the only option now.

Ling Feng then took control of Gate A, while Tang Ye held down Gate A, and the two of them protected their guns.

"boom!"

The fire from the C4 explosion engulfed bomb site A.

The score became Tianlu 0:3 Green Dragon.

In Tianlu's battle area, the group bumped fists and began reviewing their match.

To be honest, they didn't lose this point unjustly.

The Green Dragons' tactical preparation was impeccable. From the A-bomb, to Donk's breakthrough, to Zont1's flank, to the tN1R recess, to the smoke grenade launcher, every step was meticulously planned. It's fair to say the Green Dragons won this point entirely through tactical maneuvering.

"Mine," Xiao Ju said in a low voice, "I didn't look at the groove."

"It's not your fault." Hamburger shook his head, his tone calm. "That spot was too shady, and your attention was completely focused on the smoke bomb that exploded, so it's normal that you couldn't see it."

Hamburger knew that although the gameplay on the Sands II map was very fixed, the default strategies and positioning of most teams on this map were also very fixed.

Top teams can then adjust their tactics to counter these fixed, conventional rules and positioning, as seen in this point.

Hiding one player in the middle lane's recess is a standard tactic, but using smoke blasts to open up the police spawn and coordinate attacks is a minor adjustment made by the Green Dragons.

This small adjustment led to TyLoo's defeat in that long-range round; otherwise, TyLoo would still have been a fighting force in that 4v4 defense.

Hamburger looked serious, deep in thought.

He knew that this round would be difficult for them.
