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

Chapter 206 His role goes far beyond this! (13)

"A crucial point! We finally held on!" Ma Xixi's voice was incredibly excited in the live stream. "Arrow used his individual skill to defend and ended NAVI's scoring streak with a quadra kill!"

Mo then chimed in, "Arrow's play was indeed crucial. First, he took down Little Li who was covering the rear in the banana lane, and then, despite being at a disadvantage on defense, he fought his way through Wang Defa, turning the tide of the game!"

"Although LVG had a numerical advantage at the beginning, they actually had a very difficult time in terms of health and defensive positioning."

[Xiao Zhe is now LVG's savior! He's pulled the rug out from under us again at the crucial moment!]

[After just one round, KD went from 3-5 to 7-5, he's back to good form!]

[Finally, a point! Just like Big B, that three-man rotation just now seemed perfectly reasonable to me, thankfully A-God recovered quickly!]

Where are the people who were just questioning this? Come out!

The details of Xiao Zhe's gunfight with Wang Defa were really well done. I always thought Xiao Zhe was a reckless guy.

[Bold yet meticulous, this is the kind of action I want to see!]

Finally securing a point despite being completely outmatched made the viewers in the live stream equally excited.

After all, many viewers didn't expect LVG to be able to defeat NAVI, so every point they've won now can be considered a bonus!

Ma Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The score is now 1-7. This score is a bit mysterious. Does this mean LVG is going to start catching up in the first half?"

1-7之所以是个玄学比分，主要是之前还在CSGO时期的比赛，上半场从1-7追到8-7的例子数不胜数。

From an economic perspective, however, this is actually a game mechanic, not some kind of mystical art.

The winning side, having won seven consecutive games, only receives a 1400 gold reward for losing just one game. If their gold accumulation is poor, they are likely to enter an Eco game to save up gold.

Although NAVI's economy management is good now, the economy from winning the previous rounds isn't even enough to buy items, and they can only afford to rebuild for one more round at most.

If LVG starts scoring now, they are very likely to launch a furious comeback.

Ultimately, NAVI's ability to take seven consecutive rounds at the start is essentially just winning two long-range rifle rounds.

After a seven-game losing streak, it's finally time to unleash our full potential and launch our northern expedition!

[Don't jinx Masi, you toxic jinx!]

[Hurry up and catch up! If the score is 5-7 at halftime, there might actually be a chance to come back in the second half.]

【Come on! 】

After the initial excitement, the emotions of the LVG members gradually calmed down.

However, the initial tense atmosphere had disappeared, and the hard-won point proved once again that NAVI was not invincible on this map.

Moreover, they have now basically figured out NAVI's offensive tactics, so as long as they are prepared to deal with them, there is still hope of turning the tide!
After exchanging fist bumps, the LVG players refocused their attention on the match.

At the start of the new round, LVG once again opted for a 3B opening formation, preparing to look for an opportunity to control the banana path.

NAVI felt that there was nothing wrong with their attack in the last round, they were just a little unlucky, so they simply used the same attacking tactics as in the last round.

As a result, less than 30 seconds into the game, JL's body was lying in the parking spot. Despite being outnumbered, Xiao Li did not turn around to attack point A.

Instead, they immediately organized another round of item drops in area B, intending to launch a direct attack.

As a result, Su Zhe's AK got a double kill after three boxes, and Xiao Hua also finished off Xiao Li.

With Jee securing a single-target kill on bit in the mid lane, LVG took their second point of the first half!

After NAVI made two full-scale attacks, their previously accumulated economy finally ran out, and they could only make a partial attack in the next round.

The score went from 3 to 7!

In the crucial long-range rounds that followed, LVG knew that their previous defensive strategy might fail, so they launched an unconventional push down the middle!

This push forward just happened to run into Little Li's B-site rush tactic, as he was preparing to take down both Su Zhe and Xiao Hua, who were positioned at the sandbag.

As a result, all four attackers were trapped in the banana lane and slowly whittled down to their deaths.

NAVI's economy collapsed again. The 3000+ economic compensation was completely useless. The only way to have extra money to buy items was to mix and match the hair dryer with the Tec-9.

However, LVG had already prepared for a rush and did not allow NAVI to score another point in the first half.

At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily set at 5-7!
"Nice!!"

"Brothers, you fought well in the last few rounds!"

The LVG members bumped fists in encouragement, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.

"That feeling is back!" Jee said happily.

Little Flower, standing nearby, asked curiously, "What does it feel like?"

Jee chuckled: "It just feels like NAVI isn't all that great."

Little Flower:  …

"I think you haven't been torn apart by Bit enough times."

Su Zhe, listening to the team's conversation, interjected:
"Actually, Jee is right. Even the strongest teams have weaknesses. As long as we maintain basic discipline and use targeted tactics, it's not difficult to defeat them."

Xigua chimed in with a sigh, "I didn't quite understand before why those top-tier teams were always getting upset by some second-tier teams."

"Now I finally understand that our foundation was not solid enough and our pre-match preparations were insufficient."

After Xigua finished speaking, he was filled with gratitude towards Su Zhe. If it weren't for Su Zhe, how could he have found the weakness of such a strong team by doing the pre-match preparations on his own?

Ultimately, it comes down to vision. Su Zhe himself has a lot of experience playing against strong teams and has also played for European teams.

They naturally know the core of the opponent's tactical system, and perhaps a single item can disrupt the opponent's offensive strategy.

If he were to analyze it himself, he'd probably just exclaim, "Wow, their teamwork is amazing! How the hell are we supposed to play like this in the actual game?!"

It can be said that Su Zhe's role in their team has gone beyond just his personal abilities; he has brought about tremendous changes to the team as a whole!
Otherwise, relying on the previous LVG to defeat NAVI is simply a pipe dream.

The short break ended quickly, and both sides resumed the second half of the game. The teams switched sides, with LVG starting on the attacking side.

"Come on! Come on! Let's take the lead first!"

The team's fighting spirit was rekindled, and they focused their attention on the game.

In the pistol round, Watermelon arranged a standard default attack, choosing to take control of the banana route first.

Su Zhe positioned himself in the banana path groove at the start of the game, ready to start farming again with the help of his teammates' flashes.

"God A, just say so when you're ready, I'll flash the window and give it to you anytime!"

Just as Su Zhe was about to agree, a kill notification suddenly appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, indicating that Xiao Hua was standing on the second floor of the bandit building.

EmiliaQAQ used a Glock to headshot and kill bit.

"Hahaha! This bot is underestimating me! He's in a bad position but still wants to fight me, and he won't even leave after I hit him in the head!" Xiaohua's excited voice came through the headset.

"Great gun!" Su Zhe exclaimed in praise!
He immediately said, "Let's not control Banana Road for now. You guys turn around and push Area A. I'll stay in Banana Road and cover the rear!"

Following Su Zhe's mid-term decision, everyone started walking towards the middle lane.

"Big B was a bit too greedy! Maybe he had too much of a run on the second floor in the first half. Is this how you have to position yourself at the start to get information from the flanks?"

"Now LVG has a numerical advantage and knows they're one player short at A bomb site, so they need to turn around and start controlling the mid lane. And is Little Li planning to block 3B to death?"

The single A's IM was hiding in the gap of the link, trembling with fear, but in the end, he was caught and killed after taking down one person during the LVG's control of the link.

Watermelon also realized something was wrong. How could NAVI have no one to provide follow-up fire under these circumstances?
So he chose to launch a direct attack on bomb site A, and found it to be completely empty, thus successfully claiming the bomb!

"Get into position first! Prepare for the enemy's counterattack!" Watermelon was also afraid that the game would be turned around suddenly again, so he hurriedly turned on his microphone to remind them.

But just when he feared it, Jee made his way from the connector to the study to cover the retreat of the CT spawn, only to be caught out by the retreating Little Li, who guessed his position and took him out with a pre-emptive shot.

With Jee dropping a point, the two sides were back to a 3v3 endgame with even numbers.

Little Li was also very experienced in dealing with this kind of defensive positioning disadvantage. He sent JL and Wang Defa to A1 to defend, while he threw a smoke grenade in the study to cover the link and protect the bomb site.

The smoke immediately alerted Xigua, who communicated, "Watch out! There might be a lot of people coming back to defend!"

In his experience, pistol rounds have very few items, so this smoke grenade should be used to its fullest potential. Since it's placed in the connector area, there will definitely be a lot of people going there.

After hearing this, Su Zhe felt there was no problem, so he hid behind a box near the dead point and, together with Xiao Keng's watermelon, set up the connecting gun position.

Soon after, bad news came from A1's straight-frame Xiaohua: she was taken down by two CTs who double-pulled her.

"Two people have left A1! They're coming in! Look!"

Hearing Xiaohua's screams, Xigua realized he had misjudged the situation, so he immediately switched places with Xiaohua to try and save her.

The opponent really didn't expect him to be in the small pit. He was pulled out by Xigua and shot down with a Glock at close range. But there was no follow-up. JL stepped on the grass cart and finished him off.

"Wow! How did a 4v3 advantage suddenly turn into a 1v2 situation? Let's see if Arrow's position as the sixth player can be guessed!"

"Little Li emerged from the connection, but he didn't notice that he was turning to the side and was directly knocked away by Arrow, who was positioned at a dead point!"

"Both sides' positions are now clear! NAVI doesn't have any pincers on him! Let's see if he can stall for time!"

After easily securing a side kill at the death point, Su Zhe immediately looked up at the A1 position and, finding no one there, guessed that the enemy had already moved past the point.

However, under the cover of Little Li's defensive smoke, he did not know JL's exact position, so he chose to play it safe and simply hid behind the box at the dead spot and did not show his face.

Success and failure both stem from the return smoke defense.

Although NAVI gained some advantage by misjudging information through this smoke, JL suffered in the 1v1 endgame.

The C4 was getting increasingly urgent, but he was stuck in the smoke and couldn't find a good firing position.

Let's just pull it out, in case the other side sets up smoke, but by the time the smoke clears, the C4 won't have much time left.

So JL could only predict Su Zhe's position through the smoke grenades and fire into the smoke, but all his shots hit the boxes behind the cover.

"Didi dididi~"

The C4 alarm was detonating at its most urgent moment. Su Zhe knew that even if the other side had pliers, it would be too late, so he stood on the box and stared intently at the anti-return smoke.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Su Zhe, who had been holding his right hand, was surprised to find that his opponent had already silently moved to his left side.

"Puff~"

JL used a USP to headshot Arrow and kill him.

"Bang~"

[C4 killed JL]

"Hahaha! NICE!!"

Su Zhe was completely oblivious to being killed by JL, and happily punched his teammates.

As long as we win the game, what's the point of worrying about a little bit of K/D stats? Winning the pistol round is the most important thing right now!
After losing the pistol round, NAVI immediately went for a force buy in an attempt to find an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, LVG accelerated their push through the banana lane, and Starry traded one for one with JL at the start of the game.

Xiao Li failed to block B in the last round, and this round he thought he would gamble on A bomb site, but he still guessed LVG's attack intentions wrong.

Wang Defa, wielding a Desert Eagle, was completely overwhelmed in one wave and didn't manage to get a single kill.

NAVI didn't gain much advantage in their subsequent defensive efforts despite being outnumbered, and lost another point, putting LVG in control of the game.

By the time the first long rifle round of the second half began, the score had reached 8-7!

LVG achieved a comeback victory in the score on map three for the first time!
They seem to have a real chance of winning this best-of-three series!
Staying home today, trying out three updates at a time.
