CS: Demon King C, you said I was a genius?

Chapter 126 Half-step legendary power!

Thanks to Su Zhe's handling of the endgame, NIP won the pistol round with difficulty and gained an early economic advantage.

Then Fat Ball chose pure E to get through the economic game, and the score between the two sides smoothly came to 2-0.

"NICE!! Let's try to widen the score gap in the early stage!" es3tag encouraged his teammates by bumping fists left and right.

Just like the Death Amusement Park in Figure 2, as the CT side of the Ancient Ruins at the start, they also have the pressure of scoring.

But Su Zhe felt a little uneasy after hearing this - stop planting flags! Every time you say something like this, you lose points!
Sure enough, his worries were not without reason.

Entering the third round, the first long gun round of this game.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe headed straight for Area A, intending to go around the donut and use the prop advantage with REZ who was standing at VIP to take control of the middle lane.

After clearing the bandits' blind spots bit by bit and making sure that the bandits did not leave the bandits' mouth for the second time, he took another puff of the bandits' cigarette.

"The opponent's middle lane hasn't come out, be careful on both sides."

After reporting the information to his teammates, Su Zhe returned to the donut to block the attack route in the middle, while REZ returned to point B to form a second-time 3B defense.

C9's offensive rhythm was very slow in this round. In the early stage, all the NIP players only saw their props but not their people.

When the round time reached one minute and fifteen seconds, the first kill information came from the upper right corner of the screen.

[headtr1ck killed Boombl4 with an AWP]

"Good gun! I guess you didn't get a white-haired sniper rifle this round!" k0nfig's exaggerated voice came from the headset.

In order to securely win the rifle game, es3tag asked headtr1ck to take up the sniper rifle in advance.

headtr1ck also lived up to expectations. With the help of es3tag, the two of them pressed out the B diagonal together and got the fat ball kill that wanted to get out of the B gate in the second time.

"You guys should be careful at point A, there's no one at point B on the opposite side!" es3tag made his own judgment immediately after the team got the first kill.

If the bandits had stationed someone in Company B, Fatty wouldn't have been so cautious as to leave Gate B at the second opportunity.

After receiving the information, Su Zhe also moved his body closer to the inside of the donut. Suddenly, when he saw the figure of the bandit through the gap, he immediately handed over the grenade in his pocket to prevent the opponent from speeding up.

"There must be at least two people in the middle lane! VIPs have a time limit to enter!"

Su Zhe retreated while reporting information to his teammates. When he saw that the bandits were planning to go straight into the donut, he decisively handed over the defensive cigarette in his hand.

After getting the specific information, es3tag immediately adjusted the defensive lineup and let headtr1ck's sniper return to the police house to set up VIP.

"NIP's defense is starting to focus on Point A! This decision was a good one! C9's attacking position is 3-in-1A, and it seems they still have plans for Point A!"

"Brother Electronic and Marshal P are starting to head towards the VIP area. Let's see how many kills this sniper rifle can take!"

"Ah! I didn't catch one! C9 filled the bottom line with smoke bombs and planned to go straight into the police house! The sniper retreated to the back point to set up a second shooting position!"

"Ah! Missed another shot! I should have been able to catch at least one of these! How come I miss so often!"

Danking made an incredible sound in the live broadcast room. It would be better to stand closer and scratch it with a knife. Maybe he could even lose some blood.

headtr1ck on the field had also fallen to the ground.

Su Zhe rushed to help as soon as he heard the VIP's movement. He successfully caught the electronic brother who was in the front.

But he had a silenced A1 in his hand, and its ability to kill continuously at close range was too weak. Before he could complete the sweep, he was killed by Marshal P's AK.

"Xiaozhe is down! Ale from Team A hasn't revealed his position yet, and the two guys in Team B don't know if anyone else is in the VIP room, so they don't dare to go straight to the baseline to smoke and return to defense! It's over!"

As Danking said, although C9 is currently at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, its advantage in map control is too great.

k0nfig, who was defending single A, was attracted by the information from the police, and was caught by Ale who was found by A.

In a 2V2 defense, C9 completed the task of planting the bomb.

es3tag and REZ wanted to try to return to defense, but unexpectedly, Marshal P picked up the sniper rifle that headtr1ck had just dropped and directly stopped es3tag who was returning to defense.

REZ, who survived alone, only had an MP9 in his hand. He wanted to pick up his teammate's gun for protection, but he didn't expect that the two C9 players had already pressed forward.

They might respect the ID Arrow.

But for REZ, sorry, take it!

The score came to 2-1.

After losing the spear round that the entire team had prepared for, NIP's economy completely collapsed.

"mine."

After losing the rifle round, headtr1ck's face was full of guilt, but at the same time he felt helpless.

Why can’t Gou Ba’s CS2 sniper hit anyone? What can he do?

"It's okay, don't put pressure on yourself. Just win the next rifle round. It's only two points. We still have room for error." es3tag said comfortingly.

The fifth round was an extremely critical spear round for NIP.

es3tag once again made the move of controlling the middle lane at the beginning of the game, and then switched to a 3B2A defensive tactic in the second time.

However, C9 predicted their map control order in advance and speeded up the B bomb site at the beginning.

es3tag was killed by the flash white after bombing the pillar. Fortunately, headtr1ck, who was holding a rifle, did not perform poorly in this round.

While killing one person in the small dark room, they retreated deeper into the room, avoiding a numerical disadvantage at the first moment.

VIP's REZ also recovered quickly. He arrived at the first position and shot the bandit who was planting the bomb to death.

Then Su Zhe, who was walking in the donut position at the beginning, also started the rampage mode. When he jumped from the middle platform and went around, he first killed the P Marshal who was cut off by B, and then took the Fat Ball who was at the B bun point.

The only remaining Ale was unable to make a comeback in the face of a 1V4 endgame and was surrounded at the B bomb site.

After winning the second spear round in Figure 3, the NIP team breathed a sigh of relief and once again thought about how to expand their score advantage.

But this kind of scoring by relying on personal ability is difficult to sustain, and they still underestimated C9's proficiency on this map.

In addition, the touch of both Electronic Brother and Ale has gradually improved, making the 3B defense arranged by es3tag at the beginning as fragile as a piece of paper.

In the second round, REZ at the B diagonal point was the first to give up, and then es3tag who was pressed out from the black room was also killed by Brother Electronic.

In the opening situation of 5 vs. 3, Su Zhe wanted to turn the situation around, but he didn't expect that C9 would give him special care this time.

He deliberately slowed down the pace of attack at the second moment, letting two people hold the springboard in the middle to cover their retreat.

Su Zhe, who went around the middle lane again, was caught off guard and was killed after getting a kill.

Without Su Zhe, NIP completely lost the ability to turn the tables, and the remaining two people at the B site were shot down one by one.

Then Fatty figured something out and started to attack the B site continuously. Although the tactics were simple, they were extremely effective.

By the end of the eighth round in Figure 3, the score between the two sides had reached 5-.

Unable to withstand the pressure, es3tag directly called for a technical timeout to make adjustments.

【It’s over! NIP is about to be sent! 】

[I think I've seen this episode before, eh? Isn't it exactly the same as in Picture 2?]

[Hahahahaha, I was just bragging about NIP winning the third picture, what about now?]

[The game isn't even over yet and you're already popping champagne? Are you a devoted C9 fan?]

[These three guys defending point B are such idiots, aren't they? They can't even wait for their teammates to come back and defend.]

[No way, two old Dengs plus a sniper who likes to shoot blanks, this electronic guy can easily break through, right? ]

Danking looked at the barrage of comments that the rhythm was picking up again and didn't know what to say. After all, according to the current situation, it was already very difficult for NIP to win the third map.

NIP’s current economic status is still to start with one and E with one.

As long as C9 loses the long gun game after the timeout, they will get at least 7 points in the first half. At that time, even if NIP can maintain a good state, it will be difficult to reverse the situation in the second half.

After all, C9's control rhythm on this map can be seen. If their good performance continues, it will be really difficult for NIP to withstand it with its current strength limit.

"It all depends on whether they can stop losing points after the timeout."

"Why don't you just defend 4B and have Arrow help? I can defend Point A by myself. The opponent hasn't had any thoughts about Point A for several rounds."

k0nfig looked at the distressed es3tag and offered some advice.

es3tag shook his head and refused to accept the suggestion. The risk of gambling on this point was too great, and every point was crucial now.

Even if the bet is right this time, what about the next time? It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause!

But the current situation is that the 3B defense can't withstand the offensive pressure. Is there any other way to solve it except to gamble?

He turned to look at Su Zhe and asked, "Are you feeling a lot of pressure controlling the middle lane at the start of the game?"

Su Zhe understood what es3tag meant and said, "Not much. At least he didn't flash out of the smoke to control the middle lane when there was smoke. I could have stepped on the platform the first time."

es3tag's CPU, operating at high temperatures, immediately came up with a brilliant idea: "How about we just proactively counter-clear B Company this turn? As long as Arrow can get onto the platform immediately, we can easily cross fire from both sides!"

But soon, coach DJL behind him poured cold water on him: "But can your B point really withstand the first wave of attacks?"

After hearing this, es3tag felt a strong sense of shame in his heart, but he had no way to refute it.

Because djL is telling the truth!

"That"

As soon as es3tag opened his mouth, Su Zhe interrupted him: "I have a good suggestion. If you can't hold on to point B, you can just leave it there to defend."

"Just defend it? If the opponent still attacks B, should we just give up the bomb site?"

REZ asked with some confusion.

Su Zhe nodded. He felt that the biggest difficulty in returning to defense was that his teammates died too quickly. By the time he and k0nifig returned to defense, they could only fight against a larger force with fewer people.

He then added: "But we don't just let the opponent cut into the bomb site directly. We can use some damaging items to delay them. And when we control the middle lane at the beginning of the game, we can put more pressure on the opponent."

"It's just that it's hard for me to handle it alone. There's a high chance that the bandits inside the gang will get the information and come out in the smoke to attack me from behind."

es3tag fell into deep thought after listening to Su Zhe's words. After a moment, he said, "How about this, REZ, you continue to control the middle lane with Arrow this round."

"According to his plan, there's no need to rush to attack B the next time. If the opponent changes their strategy this round and speeds up attacking A, you two can return to defense from the donut immediately."

After laying out the general defensive strategy, es3tag added some details about the defensive positions on both sides.

The one-minute timeout ended quickly and the game between the two sides continued.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe, who was in a better position, went straight to the VIP area.

When he was about to enter the middle lane, he took out another Molotov cocktail and, in conjunction with the cigarette that REZ handed over at the beginning, he directly threw a cigarette behind it.

After easily controlling the middle road with two props, Su Zhe went directly under the diving platform in the middle road.

"Is there anyone down the slope?" Su Zhe asked on the microphone.

"There's someone. When I was on the second lane at the beginning, I saw a bandit passing by." es3tag said as he took out a Molotov cocktail, intending to wait until the fire that headtr1ck had set at the beginning was extinguished before continuing it.

After hearing this, Su Zhe didn't hesitate any longer and said directly: "REZ! Help me throw a B Company anti-clearing flash! After that, go straight to the bandit's mouth!"

"OK! Wait a minute!"

REZ took out the flash, aimed at the aiming point, and threw out a B-type flash that almost exploded instantly.

The moment the flash bomb exploded, Su Zhe stepped directly onto the platform in the middle and looked towards the position of Company B.

When he saw the figures of bandits approaching the small dark room, he immediately squatted down, leaving only the part of his scalp exposed to the other party, and then adjusted the crosshairs and opened fire.

"Tetete~"

Arrow killed Boomb4 using a silenced M1A14.

"One person entered the small dark room! That's the only one left in Company B! I'm not sure if there are any Tibetans down the slope!"

After reporting the information to his teammates, Su Zhe held on for another second. When he found that the opponent had no intention of coming out, he just jumped off the platform to reload when he heard the sound of gunfire from his teammates next to him.

REZ killed ElectroNic using a M4A1 Suppressed Smoke Piercer.

After seeing his teammates kill the enemy by shooting from the bandit's mouth, Su Zhe no longer thought about changing bullets and directly adjusted the crosshairs to focus on the other side of the bandit's mouth.

After seeing the vague figure of the bandit appear in the crosshairs, he immediately pressed the fire button.

"Tete~"

Arrow killed Ax4Le with a smoke-penetrating headshot from a silenced M1A1.

"NIP's decision to hold the mid lane was a good one! Arrow and REZ started to dominate the mid lane!"

"A completely unexpected and unconventional wave directly neutralized C9's attack! Master Huo, who had retreated into the dark room, stepped out again!"

"Can the two in the middle realize it? Arrow realized it! He set up a diving platform and approached the donut in advance!"

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills HObbit using a silenced M4A1

After getting another kill, Su Zhe emptied the magazine directly. He hid in the donut bunker and started to reload.

However, REZ, who was holding the bandit in the mouth, did not expect that the last surviving Marshal P was actually in the position of B Company, and was directly attacked from behind.

At this time, Su Zhe had also changed the bullets. He began to lean back, and after trying to get a wide-angle angle, he squatted and shot out directly at the position of the jumping platform.

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills Perfecto with a headshot using a silenced M4A1

"NICE!! You guys had a blast dominating the middle lane!" At the moment the round ended, es3tag raised his fist towards Su Zhe, "Your response idea is great!"

From the start to the end of the round, it took them only 25 seconds to win the round.

Su Zhe smiled and fist-bumped with es3tag: "It's mainly because the opponent didn't expect us to suddenly play aggressively in the middle lane this round. It may not be effective in the next round."

"Don't worry, there's no point in being useless. As long as the strategy is right, that's all that matters." Rez continued, "As long as the enemy doesn't rush and scatter us, we can still fight later in the round."

After stopping the pace of losing points, everyone's emotions calmed down. At least they didn't have to worry about not being able to cope with C9's RushB tactics.

The RushB here does not mean to explode and attack B after the start of C9 round, but to find a way to consume the defensive props at point B and then explode and attack again to speed up.

Faced with the fast or slow speed increase, they really didn't find a good way to deal with it at the beginning.

es3tag nodded and said, "That's right. Keep going! Strive for it."

"How are we going to fight next round? Let's quickly arrange the tactics."

Su Zhe directly interrupted es3tag's spell casting. He was really a little scared.

"Next round, you guys should continue to double up the middle lane, but headtr1ck can start by defending A. I think the opponent will have their eyes on A after losing points at B bombsite."

After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense and waited silently for the preparation time to end.

Unexpectedly, in the next round, C9 again chose to use explosives to speed up and attack B.

This time they didn't hesitate at all. After setting up smoke screens in the dark room and the middle lane, the five of them gathered together and headed straight for the B slope.

It seems that Fatty thinks the last round was just a coincidence.

"RushB! There are so many people! At least three!"

es3tag hurriedly turned on the microphone to report the information and threw all the thunder and fire in his hand.

The first-place electronic brother was directly baptized by the Thunder and Fire Package, and his health dropped from full to 25 drops.

However, although C9's speed increase at point B was a bit unexpected, at least NIP didn't lose anyone at the beginning.

When the bandits entered the private place, they even drew their swords and looked around, feeling confused.

Because in addition to the three people who entered the bomb site in the first wave, Fat Ball also deliberately left two people at Gate B and under the slope to cut off the opponent's route to return to defense.

What we want is the effect of the first few rounds, first gaining the advantage in numbers, and then using the advantage in numbers to win the next round.

But now, not only did we not kill anyone when we entered the bomb site, but we also took so much damage while going up the slope. How can we fight back afterwards?
After Su Zhe stepped onto the platform and found that the opponent had given him a smoke screen, he had no intention of forcing the smoke, but directly chose to return to defense from the police house with REZ.

At this time, the map advantage of the ancient ruins was revealed - the defense speed was fast enough.

The two sides began to practice shooting between the first and second lanes.

The grenade that Su Zhe threw casually accidentally killed the electronic guy at the entrance of the black room.

In the end, NIP's shooting skills were better in this round. After getting rid of Brother Electronic first, he successfully cleared out the bandits at the B site at the expense of one person.

Ale, who was still staying at the B gate, faced a 1V4 situation. His bomb pack fell on the B bomb site and he was ultimately powerless to turn the situation around.

NIP finally tied the score again, and after C9 lost two consecutive spear rounds, the accumulated economy finally hit bottom, and they could only choose pure E in the next round.

When it came to the last round of the first half, Fatty chose to flash directly to the middle lane and clear out the CT controlling the middle lane first.

As a result, after a series of operations, they became an opportunity for Su Zhe and REZ to brush their data. The two relied on the cover of the donut to pull back and forth and successfully completed a double quad kill.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was fixed at 7-5.

"Oh~Nice! We played well later!"

Su Zhe cheered and high-fived his teammates, and the expression on his face relaxed.

Although the score in the final half was just passing, their touch started to heat up as they continued to chase points.

Entering the second half with this state, the probability of winning the game will be greater.

毕竟从0-5追到7-5，和从7-0被追到7-5相比。

Although it is the same score, the feeling it gives is completely different.

----

After a short break, both sides entered the second half of the game, which was also the final stage of this Bo3 event.

They will decide which of the two teams will advance to the legendary group first in the final few rounds.

NIP switched sides and came to the attacking side. During the break, everyone had completed the tactical discussion for the pistol round.

They planned to set up a default attack on B at the beginning, and then speed up and attack B directly after giving smoke to the VIP in the second time.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe picked up his exclusive P250 and stepped out directly from Gate B, then stood in the groove of the black room to see if the opposite side would come out to get the information.

es3tag and REZ stood behind the box outside the B gate to block the CT who might push forward on the slope.

The other two were behind Hall A, preparing to carry out the second round of information interference.

"NIP is planning a slow-paced offensive move. Both teams were a bit conservative in the pistol round. C9 is starting to move towards the middle lane. Are they planning a second wave of mid lane counter-clear?"

The round time gradually came to one minute, and headtr1ck, who was doing the default in the garden, directly threw out the VIP cigarette in his hand.

Then, he and k0nfig, who was in the gun-guarding position, pushed forward to the middle lane and A Hall respectively, giving C9 the idea that they were going to double-team A.

As a result, when headtr1ck was leaving the bandit's mouth, he happened to run into C9's counter-clearing group.

"There are four in the middle!"

The moment headtr1ck saw the mid lane CT, he was stunned.

He immediately stuck to the left side of the bandit's entrance, so that when the CT cleared him, he had to move closer to the jump platform to find the gun line.

He also burned himself once. Facing the counter-clear of four CTs, he completed a one-for-one exchange with Ale who was in the first position.

"Don't worry about the middle lane! Go straight to the B bomb site!" es3tag made a decision immediately and planned to occupy the bomb site first.

After receiving the order, Su Zhe immediately went to the small dark room with REZ, while es3tag simply exploded the bomb and entered the bomb site from the B slope.

Master Huo of single B did not choose to fight hard after seeing the offensive props, but hid in the dead point of the second lane and waited to collect tolls.

Faced with the seemingly empty B bomb site, REZ successfully planted the bomb.

Su Zhe wanted to occupy the second position first, so that he could deal with the CTs returning to defend at the bottom line.

Just as he was aiming at the position on the left side of the second lane and moving forward, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the CT hiding in the bunker shuddered instantly.

He was so focused that he was startled, and then the crosshairs swung quickly to the right.

Master Huo originally wanted to maximize his profits and planned to let Su Zhe go so that he could catch more Timings, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly react.

He positioned the target with his crosshairs, but was still a step too slow. Before he could even press the fire button on his mouse, he heard the sound of himself being shot in the head.

"Boom!"

Arrow kills HObbit with a headshot from a P250

"Hahaha! What's Xiaozhe's reaction? Where's his cousin Xue? He's even scared by this?" Danking couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw such a funny scene.

[What a pity! It would be better if Xiaozhe was a little fatter, so we can see the fat jiggling.]

[My god, the fat is shaking. I suggest you review the special edition of Big Cousin.]

Master Huo has become a clown. He didn't kill anyone despite having such a good opportunity.

After Su Zhe successfully occupied the second road, good news came from the bandits. k0nfig, who had gone through Hall A at the beginning and then returned to the middle road, stole the opportunity and killed Marshal P who was trying to go up the platform and around.

After es3tag confirmed again that there was no one in the small black room, they also learned that the remaining three CT players were returning to defense from the bottom line.

So, except for Su Zhe, everyone else hid under B and in the dark room, allowing the other side to find as many people as possible.

As for Su Zhe, es3tag didn't care at all. He has been the C in so many games, so why not let Big Brother Neng have some fun with the gun?

After hearing the footsteps approaching from the bottom line, Su Zhe took the initiative to pull out to look for Timing to kill him. Unfortunately, all the opponents were guarding against him. After he pulled out and killed one person, he was killed next.

For a KD ratio close to 2.0, this wave was a huge loss for him.

However, there were no surprises in the final pistol round.

With enough respect from the three NIP members, the remaining Electronic Brother and Fat Ball had no chance to open the package and were eventually toyed to death.

After winning the pistol round, Fat Ball looked at everyone with an average economic level of only 2000 and could only choose pure E.

The score between the two sides was once 9-5.

As long as they can win the spear game, they will be considered half-step legendary!
