G2 team backstage lounge.
The team members reviewed the first map of the game, Nuclear Crisis, and quickly discovered many tactical problems.
"Oh my god, I care too much about how to avoid Aether. Originally, we had many tactics that we could use." Aleksib looked a little regretful.
The tactic of avoiding the connecting iron plate and the third floor in Nuclear Crisis allowed G2 to avoid Aether's big sniper, but it also severely restricted the performance of many star players in the team.
Niko and huNter didn't say much.
The seeds of distrust have been planted, and the atmosphere in the training room is slightly solemn.
Coach XTQZZZ put down his small book and tried to boost the morale of the team, "It's okay, don't be discouraged. In fact, we are not weaker than Vitality in terms of personal ability."
"Maybe we can play a little more aggressively in the next game."
"Sha Er, we definitely started on the defensive side, so we still have a certain advantage."
"It's better than us..."
…
Not long after, the players from both sides returned to the battle seats in the offline studio.
After hearing Qingming's reminder, Masisi directly switched back to the pure stream screen, "Okay, everyone is welcome to watch the match between Vitality and G2 in the second picture of the scorching sand city."
"G2 probably figured it out after the halftime break and planned to use their marksmanship to speak to Vitality."
"Don't buy bomb defusers or smoke grenades, just use five half-armor USPs to solve the problem."
"CT defended the middle lane heavily. After Vitality cleared the B level, they also came to the middle lane as a team, leaving only Adu to stay outside the A gate."
"Neither Aether nor ZywOo got P250 this time."
"apEX threw a flash bomb to help his teammates in the middle pass, and prepared for Demon Man and ZywOo to grab the lane."
"How should I put it? Aleksib was guarding the middle of G2. A wave of rain and dew crippled the Demon Man and ZywOo on Xbox, but they were taken care of by Aether who came up below."
"However, dupreeh outside door A entered door A a little too quickly, and was taken away by Niko from big A."
At the Vitality player table, apEX quickly laid out his tactics, "Aether, you stand outside the middle gate to investigate, then I'm the traffic policeman Jiayan and A Xiaoshan, Demon Man, you jump on the policeman, if you can kill us Just clip B.”
After a brief and quick exchange, the remaining three people from Vitality, except Qin Feng, came to the direction of the trail in Area A.
With 1 minute and 05 seconds left in the round, apEX's flash bomb came out of A's hands and successfully helped Magisk, who was jumping on the police, to avoid m0NESY's gun line on the slope.
However, the police huNter was well prepared and calmly and calmly used a single shot to easily take away the magical boy who had not yet landed.
"4 vs. 3, how to choose G2's numerical advantage?"
"Oh my god, m0NESY took the USP directly from the slope to the A small opening. Was G2 playing so boldly in this game?"
"ZywOo didn't react and was taken away by USP with a nod."
"Will apEX with a thunder bag die?"
"I didn't even fight m0NESY, he was shot dead by a kid."
"The last A-god is left. How many can you kill by entering the middle gate?"
"HuNter, who shook the police officer to death, turned around and nodded at JACKZ in door B."
"I wanted to nod but didn't get it, but JACKZ countered in seconds."
"We won the pistol round in G2, marksmanship solved the problem!"
apEX had a headache watching the scene of Qin Feng's final death.
After arriving at the hot sand city in Figure 2, G2's move was unexpectedly bold.
m0NESY, who was on the small slope of A, did not choose to stabilize his position after G2 gained the numerical advantage. Instead, he touched the small A all the way and caught him and ZywOo off guard.
On the other side, G2's coach XTQZZZ patted m0NESY on the shoulder, "Beautiful, just play like this."
"We can't play timidly just because there are two star players on the opposite side, otherwise we will only fall into Vitality's rhythm."
Siluke
"You must know that no matter you or any team in NikO, you can become a star player in your own right."
This young man, hailed by the outside world as the successor of s1mple, smiled shyly.
The score on the field was 0-1.
Since everyone in Vitality had the advantage of having one map in hand, apEX directly directed a wave of fast breaks in the lanes of Area A.
G2 happened to choose a wave of gambling to defend A.
With the help of smoke bombs and two passing flashes, apEX's C4 was successfully placed.
It's just that the bandits crowded in the packet points and trails in area A were helpless when faced with the props coverage of the returning CT. Only the Sand Eagle in ZywOo's hand replaced huNter who was returning to defense in A.
Taking advantage of the time to dismantle C4, everyone in G2 off-screen fist-bumped each other in celebration.
1 for 5, only one MP9 was lost. For G2, this Anti-ECO round was considered a very successful one.
However, what all the viewers and even the commentators did not expect was that Vitality seemed to be misfiring in the following rounds, and G2 continued to expand the score advantage.
Fifteen minutes after the second map started, G2 had already expanded its score to 7-0.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this still G2 from the last map, Nuclear Crisis?" Masisi also had to praise G2's ability to adjust.
"In the last picture, G2 is trying its best to avoid Aether's sniper rifle and is cowering."
"But in this game, G2 let go and used their marksmanship to suppress Vitality."
"It's interesting."
"Could it be that we want to see each other again?"
Vitality finally called its first timeout after 0-7.
This is the first time since Qin Feng joined that Vitality has had such a big score advantage by G2.
In the player box, apEX stared at the screen and said in a deep voice: "This G2 seems to have many differences in tactics from before."
"In previous games, after they gained a numerical advantage, they often chose the default position."
"If it is the default, even if we are outnumbered, we still have many possibilities that we can operate."
"However, in this game it seems that G2 used more dynamic defense and forward pressing than the previous default."
"We must pay attention to the default at the beginning, or use a group to make up for the shots, and try to give G2 as few opportunities as possible to steal people."
At the same time, Masisi on the commentary desk looked at the data panel of the Vitality players and gradually saw the clues.
"How can I say that Vitality seems to have defeated all five KD players?"
"ZywOo doesn't seem to be in very good condition, and it's difficult to make a breakthrough immediately."
"Let's see how Vitality adjusts. We can't keep getting stolen at the beginning."
"Okay, Vitality Long Gun Round, Aether finally got his favorite sniper."
"Let's see how the Bees plan to attack after the timeout."
"Good guy, I'll play for one minute by default. I'm scared of being stolen by G2."
"It's just that this time the one at the forefront of A is not ZywOo's AK, but a sniper rifle from Aether."
"The bandits blocked A's cigarettes, so m0NESY still plans to quietly touch the cigarettes from A's point to the mirror?"
"Okay, this was killed by Aether."
"It's not an easy first kill."
"..."
With the help of Qin Feng's sniper rifle, m0ality, who was using the telescope and reverse thrust, finally gained the hard-won numerical advantage.
However, apEX, who was holding the prop, was just about to say something when a melee broke out in the middle.
"Da da da da da." On the sand, huNter's M4A1 spit out tongues of fire.
[Killed with M4A1]
[Killed Vitality.dupreeh with M4A1]
"Oh my god, Aether just got the first kill, and huNter, who was in the middle of the gate, fired back."
"He knew that Vitality's sniper rifle was not in the middle, so he boldly pulled it out and directly confronted the bandits in the middle."
"The demon man who stood up straight in the A lane was not beaten, and Adu who was pulled in from outside the middle gate to replenish his gun was also given to him in vain."
"But the only good news is that the only one G2 is defending in Zone A is Aleksib, who is in the big pit. Vitality will not be too hindered if it wants to enter Zone A to secure points."
In the voice of the Vitality team, apEX’s command is decisive and quick:
"Go directly to Area A to grab some food."
"Twenty-eight seconds is too late to change the point."
"The m0NESY they dropped is the sniper rifle that mainly guards point A. Just be careful with Aleksib, who guards point A."
Qin Feng nodded, stopped moving forward on the trail in Area A, and helped his teammates hold the direction of University A.
The hurried footsteps of the defenders came from the police house.
Because the field of view to be set up was too large, Qin Feng did not choose to open the mirror, but closed the mirror at the small scalp position of A, ready to face the enemies from A University or the police at any time.
Near the elevator, a defensive player suddenly made a small scalp.
"boom!"
Following Qin Feng's instant shot, the sniper rifle bullet came out of the chamber.
[Killed using AWP]
My cousin didn't even have time to fire the gun.
Three against three.
"Double kill, how to say it."
"apEX placed a trail package. Now, two of the remaining three members of G2 are in A University and one is in the police house."
"Would you like to save yourself first?"
"Vitality planned to report to University A first, but Aleksib and Niko had already stopped the police."
"How to say?"
Above the scorching sand city, the chaotic gunshots ended quickly.
In less than two seconds, the kill prompts in the game were constantly refreshed in the upper right corner of the screen.
[Vitality.ZywOo used AK-47 to kill b with a headshot]
[Killed Vitality.ZywOo with a headshot using M4A1]
[Killed X with headshot using M4A1]
[Killed using AWP]
"Oh my god, it's Aether again!"
"He made up for NiKo who was pulled out by the police at close range."
"After a wave of three kills, what is left is a one-on-one fight between Aether and policeman JACKZ."
"Aether doesn't know JACKZ's location. Can he become Little Bee's hero?"
After three kills, Qin Feng was left with a one-on-one endgame.
After taking a look at his still full health, Qin Feng threw away the sniper rifle in his hand and replaced it with the AK-47 that apEX dropped beside the small slope A.
There was one bullet left, but Qin Feng didn't want to change it.
The sniper rifle was thrown too far, ZywOo's AK was not by his side, and JACKZ might appear at any time.
"There is one JACKZ left, he should be guarding B."
In the team's voice, ZywOo whispered a reminder.
Since JACKZ is usually the CT that mainly guards area B, the points that Qin Feng needs to be careful about instantly become clearer.
Big JACKZ A shouldn't have time to go around, so JACKZ can only appear from the police house or small A.
Compared with Qin Feng, who has already killed three times, or JACKZ, the pressure is greater.
G2's voice was also surprisingly quiet, and no one disturbed the team's "late-stage hero" at this moment.
"AK only has one bullet. Aether doesn't choose to reload?"
"Uncertain of the enemy's position, Aether did not choose to reload."
"What did JACKZ say? Stay silent next to the police house and the slope."
"Aether's position is locked and can only appear in the direction of the A small or dead center sniper position."
"JACKZ saw that there was no dead spot sniper position, so he jumped directly onto the box on the slope, preparing to confront little Aether."
"What should I say? Did little Aether react?"
"Yes, he looked back directly after the headshot of the second box and saw JACKZ jumping up the slope box."
"Aether can win..."
Masisi's tone was urgent, but the sound of gunshots in the game was three points faster than the voice of the commentator.
"clatter."
The sound of a single AK bullet is crisp and clear.
[Killed G2.JACKZ with a headshot using AK-47]
The last bandit on screen reloads his AK-47.
0 bullets turned into 30 bullets.
However, these 30 bullets may only be saved for the next round.
In the eighth round, all that was left in the scorching sand city were the corpses of enemies everywhere.
Masisi, who was outside the screen, subconsciously rubbed his heart.
"Oh my god, has Aether's endgame always been this heartbeat-y?"
"I won't change a single bullet, really..."
Ma Xixi suddenly didn't know how to describe Qin Feng's approach.
You must know that the last player who continued to fight without changing AK bullets was Twistzz, who was known as the "Hair Director".
"First kill, fourth kill, 1V2."
"Even though Vitality is still 6 points behind, apEX stood up happily again."
"Another famous scene."
"Aether, with a wave of four kills, finally helped Vitality get a hard-earned point."
[Ah, why does this need to be replaced by an AK-47? Isn’t a bullet the same as a sniper rifle? 】
[Tell me, is there a possibility? That's Aether. He didn't know that the AK-47 only had one bullet? 】
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! 】
[I finally know why apEX is smiling so happily in this endgame. After all, he dropped the AK. 】
[Understood, apEX has half of the credit for this famous scene. If he hadn't shot down the AK bullet to only one round, maybe this wave wouldn't be so exciting. 】
…
But for the G2, this bullet is extremely heavy.
Everyone, including NiKo, was a little silent.
It was originally a momentum-building 7-0 start, but the failure of this endgame will undoubtedly hit everyone's confidence to a certain extent.
7 to 1, seemingly 6 points ahead.
But Aleksib still called a timeout for stability.
As for the IEM broadcaster, after replaying Qin Feng's four kills, he cut the live stream to the camera in the player's seat.
Everyone at Vitality was naturally excited. It seemed that it was G2 who was lagging behind 1-7.
[apEX: Did you see it? This is my new father! 】
[I will boldly predict the score of G2 in this game. How about 7 to 16? 】
[One round, do you understand the value of one round without reloading? 】
As for the G2 side, Aleksib quietly continued to lay out the tactics for the start of the next long gun round.
"It doesn't matter, we still have a huge score advantage."
"But you must not let your guard down too much."
"In previous games, even if our offense scored 10 points, it was not enough."
"This picture is a CT, we must continue to expand the score advantage."
"But don't press forward."
"Vitality obviously made the default decision in this game, waiting for us to move forward."
"Obviously they're starting to get used to the rhythm of this game."
"We will try to keep enough props in the next round to delay their entry into the pack point."
"..."
