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

"Wait, what's going on?" In live stream room 6657, someone who rarely uses the equipment sat up, trying to get closer to the screen. "Are we even using this device?"

"Is this technical pause really that outrageous? No, who unplugged g0d's network cable? Is it some kind of inhumane way to prevent gaming? ZEM's really going all out!" The player couldn't help but laugh at the scene. "Why do things always go wrong when playing against jks?"

"God went offline, so G0D has to go offline too (reading comments)... Dude, what you said does actually make a point!"

"Wait a minute, JKS is right here, how did he sneak into the server room alone? Does he have a Stand ability? But Simple should be sniping in the server room, this is all Simple's fault for not holding the line! Simple is completely responsible."

After Tang also disconnected, the chat exploded.

"ZEM with trenches!"

"This is a cover-up! This must be dealt with seriously!"

"That's insane!"

"Backtrack! Backtrack! Backtrack!"

On stage, Tang frowned and patted his keyboard and mouse, but the screen remained frozen on that familiar scene—his character stood still, motionless, while the network icon in the upper right corner was completely grayed out.

"What happened? Did someone on your end disconnect?"

jks typed in the public chat.

"Yes, he disconnected and we're working on it technically," Ling Feng typed in response, then looked at Tang Ye.

"What happened?" Hamburger leaned closer, his voice tinged with anxiety.

"I don't know, it just suddenly dropped." Tang shook his head, his expression much calmer than his teammates. "It's probably a network problem."

The referee quickly walked over, spoke a few words with the field manager, and then raised his hand to signal a technical timeout.

A commotion broke out among the audience.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a moment, but it quickly stabilized. After all, the ZEM Elite Challenge has been held for so many years and has encountered all sorts of unexpected situations, so the technical team's handling speed was quite professional.

The staff quickly helped him replace the equipment and debug the network. Everything was proceeding smoothly.

Backstage, Chung Wai-kit and the referee stood together, discussing something in hushed tones.

"According to the rules, we can choose to rewind in this situation," the referee whispered to Zhong Weijie. "Rewinding to the game before the disconnection is possible. I've already asked FlyQuest, and they've agreed."

FlyQuest actually agreed to backtrack?

This was something Zhong Weijie hadn't expected.

However, after some consideration, Zhong Weijie still declined.

"Let's just fight like this."

Chung Wai-kit also had his own considerations.

Firstly, public opinion can overwhelm TyLoo. Even if they manage to win and turn the tide, people will say things like "TyLoo can't afford to lose," "TyLoo can't play the game," and "A team that wins by rewinding."

Secondly, even if they manage to go back in time, it will be very difficult for them to turn the tables.

That game didn't have much economy to begin with, and in the end, Tang Ye was left with a 1v4 situation. The best outcome was that he could kill the low-health JKS at the bomb site, but that wouldn't really help.

If we start over, we might lose even more.

In fact, they didn't plant the bomb after that round, but at least they killed the opposing sniper, so it wasn't a completely fruitless round.

Compared to God's crucial 11-11 game where he lost the game, TyLoo's game seemed much better.

However, Zhong Weijie still wanted to communicate his thoughts with the team members.

......

Around Tang Ye's machine, countless staff members came and went, helping Tang Ye replace equipment and debug the network.

Tang sat there watching, his brows furrowed, and the Tianlu team's voice chat fell unusually silent.

Although they weren't aiming to win with this score, losing due to a disconnection is unacceptable to anyone.

Zhong Weijie strode towards Tang Ye's location, bent down, and lowered his voice.

"The referee said we can rewind," Chung Wei-kit said bluntly. "We'll start from the game before the disconnection and start over."

Tang was also somewhat surprised: "FlyQuest isn't objecting?"

"FlyQuest has also agreed," Chung Wei-chieh continued. "I just asked, and JKS and the others have no objections, saying they respect our choice."

This surprised Tang somewhat. He raised an eyebrow, then quickly regained his composure.

"So, what do you mean, Brother Jie?"

Zhong Weijie was silent for two seconds before speaking: "I'd like to hear your thoughts."

"If we go back in time, regardless of whether we win or lose in the end, people will say we didn't win cleanly," Tang Ye said firmly. "I don't want that."

"Brother Jie, I want to win fair and square."

Tang also knew that that point was extremely difficult to win, and there was absolutely no need to go back. He might have been able to kill a few before going back, but after going back, they would have been wiped out in one fell swoop. This matter was also recorded in the neighboring area.

Secondly, in this situation, blaming the organizers, the equipment, or anyone else is pointless. All he can do is play his game well, give it his all, and that's all.

Complaining and blaming others is not his style.

Zhong Weijie looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said solemnly, "Are you sure?"

Seeing how serious Zhong Weijie was, Tang also laughed and said, "I'm not Korean."

Zhong Weijie smiled.

"You little brat..." He shook his head, his tone full of emotion, "Alright, then let's not go back in time. Let's just fight like this."

Tang nodded, his gaze returning to the screen.

"Oh, news has come in. Tianlu didn't choose to rewind! I give this move full marks, okay? Not rewinding was the right thing to do, +1 Sage Point!" The voice playing the machine was full of approval. "That's Tianlu's vision, okay? And to be honest, even if they had rewinded, they might not have been able to change it. Tianlu's move was perfectly fine, okay?"

Tang Ye's equipment has finally been debugged.

He stretched his wrists and put his headphones back on.

The score is 2-3, with Tianlu temporarily trailing.

"Going straight for an unarmored sniper rifle? This kid's really angry!" Tang, watching the machine deploy an unarmored sniper rifle, felt a pang of anxiety. "But FlyQuest has all the firepower and ammunition they need. Isn't this a bit too aggressive of them to deploy an unarmored sniper rifle? If they accidentally get hit by two Kobes, they'll be taking off in a helicopter!"

In the mindset of playing with machines, using an unarmored sniper rifle is a high-risk, high-reward choice. The first priority is to stay alive and avoid taking the default items from the first wave of CTs.

However, the reality was far beyond what the machine enthusiasts had anticipated.

At the start of the game, the bandits all rushed to area B, leaving area A and the bandit entrance completely untouched.

Tang Ye took the lead in the B area, and his teammates behind him helped him extinguish the fire on the slope.

At the moment the smoke exploded, Tang also saw the CT moving, still holding the prop in his hand.

The smoke exploded instantly, but Tang still managed to use his previous CT position to complete the quick-scope shot.

"Bang!"

g0d killed INS using an AWP.

"Whoa!!"

The audience erupted in gasps of amazement, and even those watching the live stream couldn't help but exclaim.

"What kind of sniping ability is this?! Can this game even be played like this?" The player held his head in disbelief. "Incredible, absolutely incredible! I can only say this person was born to snipe!"

"It's a shame, though. I almost flew to the Energy City after eating Kobe!"

"Wait, he didn't retreat, he kept advancing with his sniper rifle!"

After killing INS, Tang didn't pause at all and immediately chose to continue advancing as a charging sniper.

Before INS died, he threw out the Kobe statue he was holding, which almost sent Tang away as well.

He only has 19 health points left, so he should play very carefully, because getting hit by a single shot will result in instant death.

However, after eliminating INS, the B site is wide open, and now is the best time to advance.

This was the way things were supposed to be. If Tang Ye could kill someone, the Tianlu group would advance directly. If Tang Ye retreated at this point, it would cause traffic chaos. So they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Nettik, who was on his way to the sniping spot in the dark room, saw that his INS had dropped and immediately prepared to retreat. Since he had already thrown his fireball in the middle of the corridor, he could only be pulled out to fight by throwing a flashbang.

"Bang!"

A flash of light erupted, and a dazzling white light engulfed everything.

Nettik pulled out with a flashbang and killed Mo Siyu who rushed up, but was quickly finished off by Ling Feng who flashed from behind. B bomb site fell instantly.

The atmosphere in FlyQuest's voiceover was somewhat somber.

"Block B is gone." INS's voice was somber. "Nettik is dead too."

jks paused for a second, then said, "Story, Vexite, you guys flank from the turret. I'll flank from mid, let's coordinate a fight."

"receive."

The three acted swiftly.

Story, carrying a sniper rifle, sneaked in from the direction of the police spawn. The scope was always on, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

The smoke hadn't dissipated yet, so Story held the second entrance firmly, while Vexite held the first smoke bomb.

"Bang!"

A predictable anti-Qing flashbang was dodged by both of them.

However, the truth and the falsehood are intertwined, and this is nothing more than bait.

"Bang!"

The second trajectory was completely different. It exploded instantly from the bottom line thrown from the dead point, turning the story in front of it completely white. However, the experienced Vexite behind it continued to dodge.

A gust of wind burst out from the smoke like a demon, instantly headshotting Story's sniper rifle, but was immediately finished off by Vexite.

Feng used an AK47 to headshot Story.

Vexite used an M4A1 to headshot Feng.

However, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Ling Feng was merely bait.

Tang also immediately cooperated with Hamburger to pull out from the second lane after Ling Feng's death and finished off Vexite.

g0d used an AWP to headshot and kill Vexite.

TyLoo's prop design has completely crossed the line; now FlyQuest only has one JKS left.

"I'm testing, what's being cleared?"

"I'm outta here... (PDD version)"

JKS, who was preparing to jump over boxes in the middle lane to flank the terrorists, gave up on the 1v3 situation after seeing all his teammates die.

However, after jumping over the box in the middle lane, Xiao Ju heard JKS's footsteps as he went to the donut and immediately pulled out and killed JKS.

"Heh..." JKS laughed out loud after being hit.

"What kind of infernal positioning is this? I wouldn't even dare park here in my 911 sports car, looting here is a guaranteed death!" Looking at Xiao Ju's positioning, Wanji immediately knew this game was doomed. "They knew you CTs would be saving your weapons, right? The bottom line design will definitely kill all the CTs going back to defend from CT spawn. The remaining CTs flanking from mid will definitely save their weapons. Xiao Ju's position was meant to cut off the enemy's flanking maneuvers, but I didn't expect the enemy to be wiped out before their teammates even had a chance to loot!"

"win!"

The previous disconnection incident also affected the mentality of the players, as it's understandable to feel bad when your own team encounters such a situation.

Fortunately, the five members of Tianlu were not affected and continued to fight bravely. In particular, Tang Ye's aggressive sniper maneuver opened up the situation for the team.

The score was tied again, now 3-3.

Although the CT's economy was severely damaged, they could still win a rifle round by selling everything they owned and buying half armor, even if they didn't have many utility items.

The CTs still have the ability to fight, and Hamburg is aware of this. At the same time, Hamburg also knows that the CTs probably don't have many utility items.

At the start of the match, both sides initially opted for the default seating arrangement. Tianlu chose a 2-3 formation, with Lingfeng and Xiaoju positioned at the back of A and the terrorist spawn points, while Tang at B area held the ramp. Hamburg and Mo Siyu were tasked with clearing the area in front of Cheetah's house.

As soon as the smoke cleared from the bandit's mouth, Ling Feng immediately cooperated with Mo Siyu to clear the middle lane.

"Bang!"

With a flashbang in the middle and a barrage of fire, the two pulled out of the middle from two directions.

However, Mo Siyu pulled too far, creating a slight distance before the flashbang even exploded.

Story used an AWP to kill Moseyuh.

"Damn it, that was a mistake, especially since Story was using an unarmored sniper rifle!" Wanji wiped his face, looking a bit constipated. "This play was a bit careless. Even though I knew the opponent didn't have much money, I still rushed things too much!"

After Mo Siyu was killed, Ling Feng did not dare to push forward and could only temporarily give up control of the middle lane.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Hamburg cleared the Cheetah Room, then used fire to clear the Black Room area in front, and Xiao Ju and Ling Feng also cleared the A area in front.

Having relinquished control of the mid lane, Tianlu began to exert pressure on both sides.

However, in the end, they still had to choose a point to attack.

So, where should we hit?

Hamburger's gaze fell on the mini-map.

They've already used up a lot of items controlling the map. If they want to attack A, A and Donut will need to coordinate, which will definitely require a lot of items to get to the point. Story in the mid lane can also help A at any time.

Attacking B is also very risky, but they've cleared out the dark room, so Ling Feng and Xiao Ju can be brought back to attack B. With all four attacking simultaneously, it's possible. Besides, Story in the middle lane will have a hard time providing immediate support.

"Attack B." Hamburger made the decision. "Lingfeng, Xiaoju, you two retreat from A and go through the dark room. Tang and I will attack simultaneously from the B corridor and B ramp. We'll use the items to check the area and then rush in all at once."

"receive."

Ling Feng and Xiao Ju immediately took action, quietly retreating from Area A and sneaking towards the dark room.

Hamburger quickly set up the props: "I'll give you a second smoke, Tang Ye, you set up the ramp, wait for Ling Feng and the others to get in, I'll rush first, you follow behind me."

"it is good."

On FlyQuest's side, the deputy commander, Story, is quickly analyzing the situation.

He sniped someone in the middle lane, and the enemy didn't replenish their VIP smoke, clearly indicating they were defending the middle lane and attacking the flanks.

Without control of the mid lane, the terrorists cannot attack from the donut, and rushing into A lane recklessly risks getting wiped out.

Area B, which can be attacked simultaneously from the dark house and the slope, is a good option for accelerating the mid-game.

Story immediately decided to have JKS check the mid lane from the donut area while he went to point B himself.

Now FlyQuest has become a 3B heavy defense.

"Tianlu's attack...we completely figured it out!" The guy playing the machine looked grim. "FlyQuest has landed at a 3B heavy defense! We knew they'd attack B! Three people, three positions, perfect crossfire!"

"Tianlu feels like he's about to hit a wall!"
