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

"The main problem in this wave was Faze's offense. It was obvious that Big Cousin was trying to compress G2's defense inside the bomb site."

"This can be seen from the early push in the middle lane and the second-time control of the lane."

"But the most important point is that they failed to drive away the person pushing forward in the middle lane, and they completely ignored the CT on this side of the stable."

"So even though they gave a lot of footwork and props in the middle lane, it didn't pose any real threat to G2, so they were able to quickly attack the B bomb site the next time..."

While playing the machine to review the previous round, Faze, who lost four points in a row, also called the first timeout of the first half.

The best news for them at this time is that they have saved three spears, and the Rain God will also be able to pick up a curry in the next round.

As for my cousin himself, he just needs to add a Tec-9, throw some props, and adjust the gun line, and the overall firepower is still there.

"You can't play too passively. You can definitely find opportunities to seize control of Banana Road in the early stages."

Faze's coach NEO paced behind everyone, talking about their problems in the last round.

My cousin nodded and said, "Last round was my fault. I didn't want to lose too many people in the early stages, but I ended up being led by the other side."

For the attacking side, the most important thing is the overall offensive rhythm. Once it is disrupted, they will have to keep filling in the holes, and the entire game will gradually fall into a disadvantage.

It would be good if there is an outbreak, maybe the situation can be reversed, otherwise it will be eaten away step by step.

After a moment of silent contemplation, the older cousin began to direct, "How about this? This round, three of us will go to control the side lane. We can't let the opponent get information so easily."

"Don't put down the banana path either. King Han, you go control the banana path later. I'll throw props for you at home."

My cousin finally chose to grab both ends and make both ends hard.

The side road provides human resources, while the banana road provides prop resources.

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

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe followed Niko and his cousin and walked towards B Baodian.

They started this round with a 3B defense. Nikola still wanted to rely on the early investment of props and resources to control the banana road first.

After arriving at the bun shop, my cousin took out the anti-clearing flash in his hand and threw it out at any time.

Su Zhe and Niko first gave Jiaodao the regular map control props, and then pushed to the position of the stone slab, ready to pull out to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Niko was the first to peek out from behind the stone slab to check the information on the banana road. After seeing the smoke from the fire extinguishing at the tree position, he had a plan in mind.

This is a fire extinguishing smoke that Faze gave in advance, which means that there is a high probability that people are standing in the grooves and tree positions.

"Arrow, throw a grenade at the tree to clear the smoke. I'll clear the tree line first."

"it is good!"

After hearing Niko's words, Su Zhe immediately took out a grenade and threw it.

The moment the grenade was thrown, NIko pulled himself out from the stone slab, wanting to see if he could create any surprises.

As a result, he just took a few steps forward and his vision became blank.

"Niko wants to use items to forcibly control the banana path like last round, but Faze's banana path is also active this round!"

"The Cold King in the slot was covered by the big cousin's window flash and slipped out directly from the smoke! He just happened to catch Niko's sideways move!"

"Arrow wanted to pull out and fire a follow-up shot! But he was at a complete disadvantage in the face-off due to being so close and large, and he was immediately forced to retreat by King Han's advance shot!"

When Su Zhe saw that there was no chance for a gunfight, he pulled himself back, trying to create a wide-angle advantageous shooting position for himself to prevent the opponent from continuing to advance.

The cousin behind him directly used a banana-shaped anti-Qing flash, wanting to pull out from the yellow wall position to help.

But he still underestimated the aggressiveness of King Han. Not only did this flash fail to blind King Han, but when he was pulled out from the yellow wall, he happened to hit the muzzle of King Han's gun on the stone slab.

My cousin fell to the ground in response to the gunshot, and Su Zhe took this opportunity to take a step to the right at the sandbag position.

Seeing the Queen of Cold with half of her body exposed on the stone slab, he immediately positioned himself and suppressed the gun.

"Tetete~"

Arrow kills frozen with a silenced M4A1

After getting the kill, Su Zhe also breathed a sigh of relief, as he almost allowed King Han to complete the achievement of clearing the level with one life.

Afterwards, he was afraid that more bandits from Jiaodao would come up and use props to attack him, so he found an opportunity to retreat to the back of B package.

At this time, the situation on the field was temporarily stabilized, but because of the disadvantage in numbers, they had to hide in the two points of G2.

Then another coffin-shaped attack smoke was thrown from the banana road, which put more pressure on Su Zhe who was defending alone at B.

NIko finally chose to call nexa back from the A site to carry out the second 2B1A defense.

In the end, he made a wrong bet, and soon Su Zhe heard the screams of a child in his headphones.

The kid was originally trying to cross A1 from behind the high box at point A, but the barrel of his sniper rifle was spotted in advance by ropz who came out from the A2 building, and he was shot down without even having to change his position.

In the 2V4 endgame, there were bomb packs buried. Su Zhe and Nexa didn't even think of trying and could only choose to protect their guns.

"Nice! King Han! Your Banana Dao breakthrough this round is too powerful!!"

At the moment when C4 exploded, my cousin who finally scored a point also praised excitedly.

King Han also breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the captain's approval, a happy smile appeared on his face: "Your window flash timing was also good, otherwise I would not have had the chance to escape through the smoke."

"Hahaha! Keep it up then! Now it's our turn to catch up!"

Everyone in Faze gave each other a fist bump of encouragement, hoping that the next round would go just as smoothly.

The game between the two sides continued, and the situation of the following game was just as they wished, and began to enter Faze's scoring rhythm.

If you are a frequent spectator of sports, you will find a very strange phenomenon when watching the games of top teams.

This phenomenon is like the commentary on a machine, and the father-in-law is in a different style.

That is why in the early stages of the game, after one side gains an early advantage, it will suddenly be reversed by the other side?

This caused the game to fall into a tense state again.

In fact, this phenomenon often occurs, and it can be said to be inevitable, among teams of similar strength.

The early stages of the game are a test between both sides, including tactical tests between commanders and positional tests between different positions.

Once they understand their opponent, both the commander and the individual players will change their tactics and playing habits based on the opponent's actions.

Especially now that we are on the finals stage, both Faze and G2 teams have the bonus of offline buffs, so the players' personal conditions are naturally beyond reproach.

So there has always been a delicate balance between the two.

The balance point in Figure 2 was broken by Su Zhe's two key endgames.

And during the early to middle period of Figure 3.

Faze relied on Big Cousin's tactical reserves and excellent mid-term decision-making to break the balance point where G2 should have taken the lead by winning the pistol round, and gradually made up for the early score difference.

By the time the game reached the eleventh round, the score between the two sides had temporarily settled at 5-5.

For G2, this tie result is acceptable, but the continuous loss of points still puts them under considerable pressure.

Niko pinched his temples, trying to make his defensive thinking clearer.

In recent rounds, their defensive problems mainly appeared on the B side.

There is naturally no problem with the double B defense of NIko and Su Zhe, but the main reason lies in the struggle for control of Banana Road.

Invest a lot of resources to control it in the early stage, but it was cleared back by the opponent in the mid-term. After all, the Banana Road is an advantage for the bandits.

It is difficult for CT to clear it out the second time without props.

And Big Cousin is good at compressing the offensive time. Once he takes control of Banana Road and the middle lane, he can easily make G2 over-defend with a little fake play in the last thirty seconds.

So what Niko is thinking about now is how to take control of Banana Road for a long time so that their defense will not be so passive.

Su Zhe noticed NIko's anxiety and offered his own advice: "Why don't we stop controlling the banana lane at the beginning and save the props and resources for the mid- or late-game."

After listening carefully to Su Zhe's suggestion, Niko shook his head and said, "Wouldn't that make us even more passive? It's not going to work, unless our defense in the later stages can bet on the opponent's offensive intentions."

Su Zhe did not get emotional because of NIko's rebuttal, but continued with a smile:

"Have you forgotten how we won the first round of the first half? With the props we saved in the early stages, we can delay the opponent's offense."

Niko understood it after hearing this. That is to use props to drag the single B defense, and then put two people in the link defense.

Not only can you bet on the opponent to attack A, but you can also quickly return to defend B point in the second time.

"But the problem is, what if the opponent ignores the risk and suddenly sends five people into B together? No matter how many props one person has, he can't hold them back." NIko had a new question.

Times have changed. Faze has already suffered a loss once, and its previous tactics may not be applicable now.

Su Zhe could only helplessly spread his hands in response to this. This was the game between commanders.

He said, "Actually, I'm better at setting up my gun on the spot. If I defend alone, I should be able to hold off until you guys return to defend."

After hearing this, Niko completely understood what Su Zhe meant. To put it bluntly, he wanted to be the only B to withstand the pressure.

A high-risk defense, but also a high-reward one.

After weighing the pros and cons, Niko finally nodded. "Then let's bet on A's defense this round. Cousin, you and I will leave the props at B's site later."

Their economy has almost reached capacity after their losing streak. Even if they lose this round, they can still make a full comeback in the next round, so they are still qualified to try.

As the countdown was about to end, Su Zhe suddenly said awkwardly, "Um, NIko, can you give me your AK? With an AK, I'll be more confident in single B."

Nexa was lucky in the last round. He picked up an AK dropped by the opponent in the middle lane during the gun protection phase and gave it to Niko early on.

After hearing Su Zhe's words, the G2 team's originally serious expressions suddenly became uncomfortable and they all started laughing.

NIko couldn't help but laugh, and threw the AK in his hand directly to Su Zhe's feet, and said: "Okay, you can use it. If you feel that the opponent is going to attack B, call us back to defend in time." After Su Zhe threw out the silencer and picked up the AK, he nodded with satisfaction, examined the AK in his hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, we can definitely defend it!"

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe walked straight towards Baodian B.

Then he quickly gave Faze a banana fire in the middle to prevent him from not feeling the pressure of the props and suddenly gave him a RushB.

At this time, NIko and his cousin had already dropped their defensive props and rushed towards the connection.

After observing that Faze had no intention of pushing the banana road immediately, Su Zhe came to the yellow wall and took a peek at the stone slab from a small position.

After seeing the quiet Banana Road, thoughts kept turning in my mind.

"Is the opponent going to control the middle lane first this round?"
After thinking about this, Su Zhe boldly exposed half of his body at the yellow wall to set up the stone slab, so that even if the opponent wanted to control the map with sandbags, he would be prepared for a buffer.

As a result, just as he was swaying and holding up the stone slab, two grenades suddenly flew out from behind the stone slab and hit him directly in the face.

"WDF!"

Su Zhe was so frightened that he stepped back while cutting the props.

If these two grenades are full, they don't have to struggle for this point and can just give it away.

But even though he reacted immediately, he still had a good meal, and his health, which was originally 100, dropped to 14 drops in an instant.

Su Zhe originally wanted to give up the B Company defensive smoke in his hand, but after recalling Faze's offensive style in the previous rounds, he forced himself to hold back and chose to continue to sway and block under a box.

"This is too scary! Arrow, who was defending alone, was almost taken away! Fortunately, Faze didn't know the specific situation and didn't choose to explode and speed up."

"But Arrow is so bold! He actually dared to do a straight block from a forward position!"

Even though he was not operating it himself, the people playing the machine at the commentary desk, Masisi and the audience at the scene all felt the pressure on Su Zhe.

If he had lost the point directly, he would definitely have been blamed for G2 losing the point.

However, if point A needs to be reinforced in advance, then the 4A gamble at the beginning will be completely meaningless.

Niko looked at Su Zhe's rapidly decreasing health bar through the in-game screen, and his heart was filled with worry.

"How about I go back and help you?"

Su Zhe swung his body and stared at the yellow wall. After hearing Nikola's words, he immediately responded: "No need for now. The other side has no intention of pushing forward."

After hearing the answer, Niko didn't say anything more and chose to believe Su Zhe.

Time passed minute by minute, and the remaining time of the round gradually reached 60 seconds.

Just as Su Zhe thought, Faze stopped making any moves after giving the initial wave of damaging items.

Just when his attention was a little distracted, a smoke bomb suddenly flew from the banana road towards the police house and the coffin.

At the same time, he also heard the message that someone outside B was peeked.

His relaxed nerves tensed up again. This time, Su Zhe did not hesitate and directly retreated into the shelter.

At the same time, he took out a prop in his hand and gave B an extra-large Molotov cocktail, temporarily dissuading the other party from wanting to steal the information from the package.

The remaining time of the round is about 40 seconds, which is also the most critical time point.

According to Faze's previous offensive habits, they are now about to start harassing and prepare to launch the final attack.

NIko and his cousin, one is the sixth in the connecting groove, and the other is the hook near the arch.

At this moment, a connected attack smoke suddenly exploded in front of him. Niko looked at the round time again and there were still thirty seconds left.

"Cousin, throw a smoke bomb! Let me check the mid lane information!"

After hearing this, my cousin took out a grenade and threw it with double buttons.

"Bang~"

As the line of sight was temporarily restored, Niko quickly peeked at the midfield information from the groove.

But there is still no information about the bandits!

He didn't know that he had just missed the timing of Faze's passing. After the smoke spread again, Faze quietly emerged from the middle lane.

He had already thought about turning to B, and at the same time controlled the character model to the location of the arch.

But Su Zhe's voice soon came from the headset again: "There is no one at point B yet, no need to return to defend."

Niko's steps just started to take a sudden pause. After thinking for a while, he returned to the connection position.

"Is Nikola still not going to return to defense? He hasn't even gotten any information about the presence of people in the middle lane yet, and he's already started to push into Site A! Just trust him! Respect him!"

"Faze has huddled together and moved quietly, reaching a position close to A1 and preparing to unleash their explosives! They're about to face a 4A defense! Arrwo has finally withstood the pressure!"

"Faze used a cigarette from the straw cart to block Nexa's view of the pit! Big Cousin has already sneaked in! A1 is not directly blocked! Big Cousin caught Nikola's timing to cover!"

"But the kid's sniper was also very quick! He pulled out the bomb and immediately took the head of the cousin. It's a temporary one-for-one, but it's still acceptable!"

While the bomb site was being exchanged, my cousin who hid in the connecting groove in the second time also successfully ambushed the Rain God who had not searched the site!
Faze still has 20 seconds to attack, nexa directly throws out a defensive smoke at A1, and then carefully blocks the A2 building.

Although ropz, who was walking alone at A2, lost a big chance, the moment he came out of his position, he was directly caught by the kid who was bombarding the area and was killed in a thrilling way.

There are only ten seconds left in the attack time, and the A site is still a 3V2 situation!
King Han and Broccoli were also at their wit's end, but they still had extra money and didn't need to protect their guns at all.

But at this time, he had no choice but to enter from A1, but under the cross-fire of the big pit and the A bomb site, he was still killed one by one.

"NICE! NICE!"

The scores after consecutive losses, coupled with the wave-like cheers at the scene, made everyone very excited.

"Arrow! I knew I was right to trust you! I knew you could handle the pressure! You are our God of Responsibility!"

At this moment, Niko really wanted to suck Su Zhe hard.

You, Faze, earned the title of God of Responsibility thanks to Ropz's pentakill in the small town. You dragged us into overtime and turned the game around, shattering our dream of winning the 22nd Katowice championship!
And we G2 now also have the god of responsibility Arrow!

We will also rely on your Faze to win the championship of IEM Chengdu!

After celebrating with his teammates at the end of the round, Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he did not participate in the gun battle the entire time, after more than a minute, he felt more tired than playing ten endgames!
I was in a state of nervousness throughout the whole process, trying to judge whether the other party would come to attack B, and I was afraid that a meteor shower would suddenly fall from the sky above B's bun.

Fortunately, he made the right bet and did not choose to return to defense despite Faze's constant harassment.

Taz behind him also came up tactfully and silently massaged Su Zhe's shoulders for a while.

The game then entered the last round of the first half.

After Faze lost the last round, they thought NIko was lucky and made the right bet, so they still used the same map control order as the previous round in this round.

But Niko naturally would not take the risk like in the last round, but chose to start with a 3B wave and then clear the banana road in the second time.

This action directly surprised Faze. They thought that G2 would choose to play in a defensive style like in the previous round.

The result was a fierce Battle of Banana Road, in which Su Zhe and NIko died heroically in exchange for 3.7 people.

The remaining ropz and the low-health broccoli tried to attack point B again in the later stage, but they didn't expect that the kid had already reached point B in advance.

After the sniper successfully got a double kill, the final score of the first half was fixed at 7-5.

"Holy crap! I'm not really going to win the championship!"

Danking in the audience was so envious amid the cheers from the audience.

He was also invited by the organizers to be a guest performer before the opening of the finals today, and in the end he won the exhibition championship again without exception.

Naturally, he also enjoyed the cheers from the audience.

At this moment, there were still many spectators holding signs that read "Danking".

Of course, the most important thing is that the rice was given by the event organizer.

After a series of gains, he naturally felt a great sense of satisfaction.

But compared with Su Zhe on the stage, he seemed like a clown.

He is about to win the IEM championship, while he is the exhibition match champion.

People cheered throughout the show because of my absolute strength and I was the absolute highlight of the show.

What they want is the championship prize money of the event, and I am the attendance fee paid by the sponsor.

"Damn, how can this be so awesome! I feel like playing CS2 is so easy now. It makes me want to come back."

Then he nudged the cabbage sitting next to him with his arm and jokingly said, "Old General, when are you going to show off your skills?"

Bai Cai was originally very excited by the atmosphere at the scene, but after hearing what Danking said, his face fell again.

"Still going up there and trying to look cool? I only served as a takeaway coach for two days during this competition, so why bother showing off with Gou Ba?"

"Hey~ Don't be discouraged!" With the contrast of cabbage, Danking felt much more comfortable in his heart.

He regained his smiling face and consoled him, "Brother, I've seen your strength. Even NIko and the King of Cold on the stage are not as good as you!"

"Really, bro?"

"It's true!"

"Then I have to talk to the manager about my starting position."

"Do you really believe it?"

"Fuck you! Anyway, I believe it!" (End of this chapter)
