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

"Let's start with 3A2B this round. We'll use the same set of props we designed yesterday to clear the wooden planks outside Hall A."

Watermelon thought for a moment and began to plan the tactics for the long-range rifle rounds.

Actually, when they were studying NAVI's previous match replays yesterday, they discovered that IM liked to stand behind the wooden planks to set up their guns when making the default underwater setup in Hall A.

After the pistol round, it became even clearer that NAVI's default attack strategy remained largely unchanged.

So yesterday, when they were preparing for the competition, they specifically practiced a set of props after clearing the wooden planks.

After the countdown ended, Su Zhe headed straight for the middle lane as planned.

After moving to the middle lane, he first pushed a defensive smoke grenade on the middle bridge to prevent NAVI from invading the middle lane too early. Then he went to the window in area A and took out a Molotov cocktail to aim.

At this moment, Starry and Xiaohua had already started to stick together and quietly made their way towards the entrance of Hall A.

Su Zhe glanced at the information on the minimap and saw that his teammate had reached the point near the entrance of Hall A, and then he threw the Molotov cocktail from his hand.

"The fire is ready!"

To be absolutely certain, he then produced an underwater flash and released it from his hand.

Starry, who was in the first position closest to the wooden plank, immediately lashed out horizontally after hearing the plank explode.

"A set of cleared wooden planks! But IM had already given a warning when he heard the sound of the prop hitting the wall above his head, and immediately moved to the other side of Hall A!"

"Starry still wants to keep diving! He's still under Flashbang's effect! But Wang Defa behind him countered with a Flashbang, ruining Starry and Xiaohua's plan to push forward!"

Listening to the sounds coming through his headphones, Su Zhe roughly guessed what had happened outside Hall A. He felt a pang of emotion, realizing that NAVI's success was due to teamwork.

But in terms of individual ability and competition experience, each of them is actually quite good.

The initial strategy failed, and Starry, whose intentions were exposed, immediately retreated after Xiao Hua placed a smoke grenade in Hall A. However, this also allowed him to obtain some useful information.

“There were at least two people underwater, and the bandits also heard footsteps.”

Thanks to Xiaohua's triple kill with the submachine gun in the previous round, Jee has equipped the AWP this round. Upon hearing this, Xigua immediately had a new idea and decided to use the AWP's advantage to gather information outside B.

"There's no one outside B!"

Watermelon glanced at the turn timer; there were about 50 seconds left. Although NAVI often compresses the attack time, it's only if they've already positioned themselves well in advance.

After considering it for a moment, he gave instructions: "You go and cover point A. I'll just stand outside point B and keep watch."

As he spoke, he went directly to the crate cover outside the B door. Even if NAVI chose to attack the B bomb site from the underwater dark room in the second instance, they could at least ensure that no one would be lost.

Whether it's saving the gun and conserving the economy, or launching a five-man defensive rotation, they still maintain control of the game.

After overhearing their conversation, Su Zhe had a new idea in mind. He had already returned to the mid lane and was observing the quiet mid lane. It didn't seem like an attack tactic of flanking B from the dark room.

He then spoke into his microphone, saying, "Jee, move from the connector and hold the mid lane first."

As he spoke, he pressed the Shift key and began to quietly make his way toward the middle door.

There was no one behind the middle door.
No one was holding the mid lane back post, so it was assumed.
Su Zhe carefully stepped onto the middle bridge and peered into the water through a small gap in the bridge.

"There's a footstep outside the dark room! Be careful at B&B A! There are definitely a lot of people outside Hall A!"

Instead of jumping off the bridge to guard the head outside the dark room, Su Zhe headed straight for the spot where the bandit had jumped.

Jee had already covered the A bomb site. After hearing Su Zhe's message, the team flooded the A site with a set of Thunderfire Smoke and then added a defensive smoke grenade, which was mixed with the sound of a sniper mingling with the smoke.

Just as Little Li was about to unleash a bomb, he noticed something amiss in Hall A and immediately gave the order to switch locations.

"IM! You take the bag and go with Wang Defa to find JL and take him to the dark room! Bit and I will fake a fight at point A!"

"Roger that!"

At this point, JL, who was alone, had completely taken control of the dark room. IM, carrying a grenade pack, glanced at the bridge and, finding no one there, immediately switched to his knife and rushed towards the dark room.

Just as I passed the bandit ladder, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange figure out of the corner of my eye.

'How come there's a CT scan at this location?'
Before he could even react, he collapsed and fell asleep!

"Tetete~"

Arrow used an M4A4 to headshot and kill IM.

Having secured the kill, Su Zhe took another step forward and happened to see Wang Defa turning his head.

At this moment, Wang Defa was obviously still a little confused. He only reacted after hearing a loud shout in his headset, "The enemy is in front!!" But then, he was hit by a bullet and sent flying to the side.

"Tetete~"

Arrow killed w0nderful with an M4A4.

"Top-notch forward push!!" Masi's tone immediately changed from cautious at the beginning to an excited shout!

"Arrow has taken down IM and Wang Defa, who were trying to rotate! This flanking maneuver was fatal for NAVI!"

"Little Li and Bit took down Xiao Hua's head in the A Hall from the smoke, but Jee's sniper rifle also caught Little Li's head!"

"JL got the kill on Xigua at B bomb site, and now the entire B bomb site is empty! But it's still a 3v2 situation! Let's see if Arrow can hold the bomb under the terrorist ladder!"

After getting the kill on the terrorist ladder, Su Zhe didn't linger. Instead, he headed straight for the terrorist jump location.

As he approached the bandit's jump, he clearly heard footsteps underwater and realized that the bandits in Hall A were coming out to collect the bomb.

So he stepped directly onto the terrorist's jump, peeked a short distance away, and after seeing the terrorist's back, he moved sideways again to fire a targeted burst.

"Tetete~"

Arrow killed bit with an M4A4.

Having secured the kill, Su Zhe flashed back to his original position and then pre-aimed underwater again. Upon seeing the bandits rushing over to his aid like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, Su Zhe unleashed another burst of fire from his M4.

"Tetete~"

Arrow used an M4A4 to headshot and kill JL.

Mo couldn't help but commentate, "Arrow's positional switch was brilliant! He surrounded the enemy stronghold and secured a quadra kill!"

"It's only been three rounds and his K/D ratio is already 11-0! Is he just playing Na'Vi like a fish to be swarmed?"

[Even with 11 kills in three rounds, you couldn't get this kind of stats from smurfing.]

[Xiao Zhe, has he opened up? Mom is so scared.]

[Haha! It's never been turned off, so how can it be considered on?]

[Holy crap! LVG is really going to beat NAVI on map one, right? This is going even better than yesterday's match against FaZe!]

If we beat Na'Vi! I could brag about this best-of-three series for the rest of my life!

【.】

Amidst the lively discussion in the live chat, Leonardo DiCaprio, at the signal from Brad behind him, called their first timeout of the game.

JL stared blankly at the table, propping his elbows up. He couldn't understand how he had fallen so far behind in the score when he hadn't done anything in the previous rounds.
After the timeout, they will definitely need to eco to build up their economy, and by then the score will probably be 4-0.

It may not seem like much, but there are a lot of them on Anubis's big offensive map!
LVG has already earned a passing grade in the first half! They can accept not getting any points after that.

Brad had already begun pacing behind the NAVI members. He analyzed the previous rounds and slowly began to speak:
"The opposing team played very proactively, completely disrupting your expected rhythm. This team was very well prepared before the match."

As the creator of NAVI's tactical system, Brad certainly knows where the shortcomings of their current lineup lie.

Firstly, the teammates were in poor condition and couldn't compete in direct gunfights, since all tactics ultimately serve the purpose of securing advantageous gun positions and stances.

Secondly, their original seamless teamwork is disrupted by the enemy, and once the continuity is lost, they will fall into an unfamiliar individual combat mode.

Brad paced back and forth a couple more times, then said, "The other side likes to push forward. You can postpone the time when you group up and observe the other side's defensive rhythm."

"Even if you don't get the kill on the enemy's push, you can still get back to the bomb-burst rhythm you're most familiar with."

"Also, IM, don't land near the A site at the start of the game. The terrorist landing spot is safer."

During the one-minute pause, the five members of NAVI remained silent, listening attentively to Brad's speech.

Brad then carefully explained all the mistakes they had made and the things they needed to pay attention to.

"Why do I suddenly feel so much pressure from the other side?" Jee rubbed his hands together and suddenly said in the voice chat.

Su Zhe knew, of course, that Jee was referring to Brad's decision to call a timeout. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about the other side. Just focus on our own game."

"We have now taken the initiative in the game. In the next round, we will mainly probe and try to get two more points."

The one-minute pause ended quickly, and NAVI, who had just lost the previous round, only gave bit and JL a half-shot Desert Eagle to look for an opportunity.

But it didn't have much effect, and the score quickly reached 4-0.

After entering the second rifle round of the game, the LVG players immediately felt the change in NAVI's rhythm.

Watermelon originally wanted to clear out B again, but as soon as he pulled out, he saw two people on his left and right sides blocking the B gate.

Fortunately, the other party was distracted by the flashbang, allowing him to retreat safely.

Su Zhe also made some moves in the mid lane, pushing the smoke grenade at the mid gate and then throwing a smoke grenade to try and find an opportunity.

However, the opposing mid-laner was also prepared. As soon as the smoke grenade was detonated, a series of pre-emptive shots were fired, giving Su Zhe no chance to get a kill.

They managed to push out one side of Hall A, but they only got half of the underwater information and didn't dare to guess whether the terrorists had someone setting up guns.

After all, the terrorist's position allows them to attack from a high vantage point and makes it easier to dodge and counterattack.

As Su Zhe hid behind the middle door, gathering information and thinking about how NAVI should proceed in this round, his vision suddenly turned completely white.

'They're using smoke to clear me out? That's so aggressive?'
Su Zhe immediately fired and controlled the recoil in the blind spot, then turned to look at Jee's computer next to him, only to see that the kill information had already been generated.

Aleksib used a MAC-10 to headshot Arrow.

"Mid lane is in! Watch out for the link!"

Starry, who was standing at the entrance of Hall A, was just about to make a move when he heard footsteps coming from the bandit jump.

'Did the bandit jump down?'
Starry was just thinking about catching the terrorist's jump when his crosshair started to shift, but unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared horizontally from the terrorist ladder position that had been held straight.

"Da da~"

Bit used an AK-47 to headshot Starry.

As Xiaohua, who was following behind him, was debating whether to go out and finish off the enemy to recover the losses or retreat first, a flashbang exploded right in front of him.

Immediately, the A side was completely out of control, leaving only Jee and Xigua at the B bomb site huddled together to save their guns.

As the C4 exploded, Su Zhe let out a long sigh as he watched the screen show that he had lost the round.

"This is the real NAVI! A series of coordinated attacks left no room for a gunfight."

As expected, the subsequent matches saw NAVI take the lead and score points.

The score was gradually tied at 5-5 by NAVI, who had led 4-1.

The point they won was thanks to Jee's bold sniping maneuver from the dark room to clear the water, which resulted in two kills and gave them the initiative on defense.

With the first half about to end, LVG called their first timeout of the game.

"Let's try to get another point! That way we'll have a better chance of winning in the second half!" Watermelon, as the team's commander, encouraged the team.

He then looked at GUM behind him and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

GUM:
GUM is great at ordering takeout and supervising regular training, but it's a bit too much to ask him to make impromptu countermeasures during matches.

What's fatal is that they only have a little over 2000 economy this round. Only Watermelon has a slightly better economy with 3900, but they still have to consider giving Jee a big sniper rifle in the last round.

"How about we wait for the long gun round and bet that B will group up and wipe out B's outer defenses in the second round?"

"If there's no one around, we can also clear out a bunch of people underwater from the small dark room."

They paused early, firstly to cool down NAVI's momentum, and secondly, of course, not to discuss the strategy for the next eco round.

Watermelon nodded and said, "Yeah, I think it's feasible. Let's listen to A-God. In the Eco round later, we'll slow down the pace a bit and wear down the opponent's rhythm."

Su Zhe laughed and said, "No need. Since we've decided to clear B in the long-range rifle rounds, why don't we put some pressure on A this round? We can also try to annoy the other side."

After hearing Su Zhe's idea, Xigua couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, this move is really disgusting to the other side!"

As he spoke, he lit another set of sparkling smoke props.

After the countdown ended, everyone except Jee headed towards bomb site B alone, while the others swarmed towards bomb site A.

When Su Zhe left the purchase point, he had an extra stun gun on him.

“NAVI knows that LVG has no gold this round, so it seems they want to play more proactively and choose to push simultaneously in A site and mid lane.”

"LVG made the right bet! It's a perfect 4A start. Let's see how many long guns LVG can trade this time. It might even affect NAVI's weapon selection in the next round."

Masi glanced at the screen and saw that only Arrow had raised half armor, so she knew that there was absolutely no hope of getting points this round.

As the first person in Hall A, JL immediately positioned himself near the entrance of Hall A and set up a default position.

"Give me a flashbang, I'll clear out Hall A." JL was eager to try.

Bit, who was walking behind him, did not hesitate at all and immediately released the flashbang.

They were aiming for a fast-paced game this round, and JL cleared out Hall A immediately, making it easier for the two players in the middle to find opportunities to push forward.

"Give it to me!"

As the flashbang exploded, JL, holding an AK, pre-aimed at the iron gate and pulled out his gun, then quickly dodged back.

"No one was seen in Hall A."

His basic skills are still quite good. After a round of counting in Hall A, even if LVG has several USP straight racks, he probably won't get much of an advantage.

After JL finished counting, he took out a Molotov cocktail and threw it directly at the cylindrical fountain.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Su Zhe, who was hiding behind door A, shouted in the voice chat, "Watermelon, get out of there!"

The watermelon in the paradise position was directly pulled out of Hall A and thrown out.

"Okay! I'll give it to you!"

As the flashbang exploded, Su Zhe, holding the USP, took a large step and slashed sideways. He wasn't discouraged when he realized the other side didn't go straight into Hall A, but instead pushed forward to the vicinity of Hall A's entrance.

JL retreated earlier to leave the props for Bit behind him, and upon hearing footsteps in Hall A, his alertness immediately went into overdrive.

"They've taken over Hall A again!"

After collecting the information, JL couldn't help but find it a bit funny. With only 2000 yuan for the Anti-Qing A Hall, they probably couldn't even afford two fully armored submachine guns.

Then he shouted, "Get out of the way! I'm going to clear out Hall A!"

"it is good!"

To ensure JL's safety, Bit and Wang Defa behind him used their flashbangs together, covering both the near and far points in Hall A.

JL confidently unleashed a powerful attack after the flashbang.

But when he pulled himself out to the side and saw a person stuck to his face, and the gun in his hand was still just a short one, his mind was filled with confusion.

"Using a USP to refute me?"

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly heard his agent make a seductive sound.

"Ah~~"

Arrow killed JL with a stun gun. (End of Chapter)
