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

"Holy crap! I feel like we really have a chance to turn things around!" Xiao Guang suddenly exclaimed in the university dormitory.

"What are you doing, playing on your phone again after finishing your work? You finally got an S rank in your thesis defense and you're just going to slack off like this? I'm not duo-queuing with you next game!"

Fatty turned his head and glanced at Xiao Guang, who was scrolling through his phone, his tone somewhat displeased, before speaking again:

"And the other team only scored one point in the first half. What can they possibly use to turn the game around? Even the guy with the best record, KD, is in the red."

"No! I meant Xiao Zhe is going to turn the tables!" Xiao Guang quickly explained when he realized that Fatty had misunderstood him.

"Huh? It's really fake!"

"Really! The score is now 8-7!"

"what?"

The two guys were watching Su Zhe's match, but after seeing LVG get beaten 0-7 at the start, they lost the desire to continue watching.

After all, nobody wants to see their favorite team get crushed, and even when watching a replay, they might skip over the losing matches.

What's more, LVG has a good brother in his team, and Fatty couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he brought Xiaoguang to duo queue and play ranked matches to vent his frustration.

I was thinking that after the game, I would just check the final result, and if the score difference was too big, I would send a WeChat message to comfort them.

In the blink of an eye, LVG is about to turn the tide?
Fatty suddenly swung his sniper rifle, securing the round's victory. He then leaned over to Xiao Guang's phone, glanced at the Perfect World platform's match score, and sure enough, it was 8-7.

"What's going on! They took eight points from NAVI in a row? Is there something wrong with this app?" Fatty was still a little skeptical.

"No, I saw in the comments below that everyone said Xiao Zhe scored a point in the first half and boosted morale!"

"Awesome! No wonder it's Xiao Zhe! I knew they had a chance to turn things around!" Fatty said with great pride.

"Who almost punched the computer screen just now?"

"Shut up! Stop playing on your phone! Finish this game, I want to watch the match!"

As he spoke, Fatty immediately turned on his phone to start a live stream. After entering CSBOY's live stream room, he placed his phone below the computer screen.

Ma Xixi's voice could also be heard through the phone's receiver:
"The score is very close! Every rifle round from now on is crucial. It all depends on whether LVG can turn the tide and defeat the world's number two NAVI in this best-of-three series!"

Little Li rubbed his face, trying to banish his negative emotions.

There was nothing that could be done about the points lost in the first half, since the opponent took five points after only losing two long-range rifle rounds.

However, losing three consecutive points in the second half was entirely due to his coaching error; he made several wrong bets on key moments.

Every time, I would gamble correctly in the early stages, but as soon as the opponent probed slightly, I would start to have doubts. Then I would adjust my position, and as a result, the opponent would attack my weak areas.

As Li Zi thought about it, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Why do I feel so much pressure playing against an Asian team?"

"Whoo~"

After letting out a long breath, Xiao Li began to command: "This round, let's gamble on a 3B defense at the start. Don't let the banana path open up so easily. We need to take the initiative in controlling the map, otherwise we'll only be able to rely on luck in positioning later on."

"Also, if you're going to have two A's, don't spread out. Wang Defa, you take the A1 sniper rifle and hold the middle lane. Bit, you stand next to him and be his bodyguard."

After hearing Little Li's instructions, everyone understood where their problems lay in the previous rounds.

Ultimately, after being chased down by several points in the first half, they became somewhat timid in the second half and dared not take the initiative to control the map.

If you bet on the right points later, that's fine, but if you bet on the wrong points, you can only hand over the crucial score to your opponent.

JL said, "IM, could you throw me a stone slab for close-range ignition later? I'll just use the stone slab smoke to prevent the enemy from speeding up."

"The opponent's Arrow's banana-controlling strategy is quite aggressive, and the second-time counter-clearing effect is better."

It has to be said that NAVI has a high level of professionalism. Regardless of the players' personalities, they are always serious about the game and can quickly develop counter-strategies based on the opponent's attacks.

As the countdown ended, the CTs began to walk towards their pre-arranged defensive positions.

JL is an experienced player after all, and his control over the details of the game is still on point. After IM threw out the stone slab for close-range fire, he also threw out a banana path mid-range fire to prevent the opponent from speeding up.

Still feeling unsafe, he didn't immediately place the stone slab. Instead, he threw another stone slab as a defensive smoke and then crawled behind the sandbag.

This can effectively prevent the opponent from directly using Flash to force an attack.

Instead of a flashbang, a Molotov cocktail suddenly landed at his feet.

"呲~"

As the flames from the Molotov cocktail spread, JL immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "IM, help me put down the stone slab smoke!"

JL was afraid that the opponent would use Flash to knock him out and eliminate him in the second time, so he hurriedly ran back a bit from the sandbag position.

IM didn't arrive. While he was retreating, his head suddenly lolled to the side, and he lay flat on the ground.

"Da da da~"

Arrow used an AK-47 to headshot and kill JL.

It took JL, who had been killed, two seconds to realize where the enemy had fired the shot.

The opposing team has set up two sandbags directly on the wooden barrels at the tree position! If you move towards the sandbag position at the start of the game, you will basically fall into the trap set by the opponent.

He immediately realized what was happening and quickly called out to IM, who was about to come out to check the location of the stone slab.

"Don't leave any gaps in the yellow wall! The banana path leads to Shuangjia!"

Listening to his teammates' conversation, Xiao Li Zi knew that LVG had made a lot of preparations before the match. Otherwise, how could they have come up with such a strategy of using two wooden barrels as a double stand and sandbags to count the points on the spot?

However, with only one and a half minutes left in the game, it has already entered a four-on-five situation, and there's no point in even thinking about controlling the map and taking the initiative.

Then he could only helplessly shout, "Bit, come over and fill in B. Wang Defa, you just stand in the study and hold the connection with your sniper rifle."

In the end, Leonardo DiCaprio still chose the same strategy as in the previous rounds: gambling on points. Even if he gambled on the wrong point in the end, at least he could save several spears.

"Oh? Little Li called Big B back! After LVG controlled the banana lane, they turned around and went to control the mid lane. Let's go straight for A! Don't hesitate! Show the same spirit as CNCS's 'drilling'! Entering the point will give us the point!"

Ma Xixi seemed to have put herself in the player's shoes, speaking with great emotion!

However, the LVG team did not go as he wished. With Su Zhe providing a safety net in the Banana Path, Xigua made a lot of noise when clearing the mid lane in the second round.

It's like telling NAVI and the others, "We might be coming to attack A! Come back and defend!"

After making the props, Xigua led the people controlling the middle lane back to Banana Path.

Mo said with a regretful look, "If LVG has any problems this time, it's because of their lack of discipline. If they had continued to mindlessly peek around like before, they probably would have already planted the bombs by now!"

He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, though it's unclear whether there was any hint of relief in that smile.

Masisi chuckled along, then provided commentary while observing the situation on the field:

"Let's see if Leonardo DiCaprio will doubt his bets like before. Looks like he's not planning to make a move!"

"And LVG is planning a direct assault on B bombsite, which is going to cause trouble! Wang Defa's AWP can get back quickly from the study!"

"LVG has started detonating bombs."

As soon as the smoke from the B tunnel defenses began to dissipate, Watermelon immediately gave the order to detonate the bombs.

Starry, in the first position, strode directly towards the area below the stage.

"no one?"

Starry walked all the way to the bottom of the stage, but didn't see anyone at the top. Just when he thought the other party had made a wrong bet again, a CT suddenly appeared from behind a box.

"Tetete~"

Aleksib used an M4A1 with a silenced headshot to kill Starry.

"One box later!" Starry, who had been killed, hurriedly reported the information in the voice chat.

Su Zhe, who had been holding the dead spot for a while after emerging from the second position, turned around and fired preemptively to clear out a box of enemies after finding no one around.

"Da da da~"

Arrow kills Aleksib with an AK-47 headshot

But at the same time, a series of bullets came flying from the side.

"Tetetete~"

[IM used an M4A1 with a silenced barrel to kill Arrow]

[IM used an M4A1 with a silenced headshot to kill Jee]

The watermelon behind him hurriedly pulled out a dead spot to finish off the enemy, but unexpectedly, another CT appeared after the second box.

"Tetete~"

Bit used an M4A1 with a silenced headshot to kill Westmelon.

The original five-man attack was instantly reduced to just Xiaohua. He didn't struggle much and once again contributed kill economy to Bit.

"Nice!!"

After finally winning a point, Leonardo DiCaprio excitedly shouted to his teammates.

This point is crucial for NAVI, otherwise they would have to go all-in on E in the next round, and the score might have reached 10-7.

Now, with the score tied at 8-8, the two teams are back on equal footing.

Even after Leonardo DiCaprio cheered, the pressure in his heart remained unabated, after all, luck played a large part in their winning this point.

……

"What a pity! I didn't expect the opponent to make such a terrible decision." Watermelon said with regret after losing the round.

Jee said, "It's okay. I also thought the other side probably had more people at point A. We can only blame NAVI for being too lucky."

"But we're also quite lucky, we're sure to win today's match!"

"Oh?" Starry asked curiously, "Where did we get our good luck last round?" Jee chuckled and said, "We used up all our luck on A-God, otherwise why would he come to our team to play?"

Su Zhe: ???

"Are you kidding me? Can't you just act normal? I almost vomited my lunch..."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone at LVG couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xigua smiled and then began to plan the next tactics.

Fortunately, they had planted grenades in the previous rounds, so even after losing the pistol round, they were still able to have a rifle round this time.

"The enemy team has already taken the combo meal, so let's focus on controlling point A this round... Does A-God have any issues?"

Su Zhe shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll decide whether to enter the banana lane at the start based on the situation."

“Okay.” So Xigua continued to arrange, “This round, let’s control the A2 building first, and then try to use items to clear the middle lane. Let’s put pressure on them first.”

After the countdown ended, everyone started walking towards the planned location.

"They've given Faze a smoke! Watch out on the side!"

Watermelon originally intended to occupy the sewer position to set up a mid lane, but a single FaZe smoke grenade disrupted their offensive rhythm.

"Damn it!"

Suddenly, Xiaohua unconsciously swore into the headphones, followed by a kill notification in the upper right corner of the screen.

EmiliaQAQ used a hairdryer to headshot and kill bit.

"Hahaha! I used my hair dryer to run and kill Bit! This is the second time I've solo killed Bit!" Xiaohua was still in shock at first, then let out a crazy voice.

Su Zhe was a little surprised when he saw the kill information, and then sincerely praised the gun.

This early kill was crucial. The town map is relatively balanced in terms of offense and defense. Now that the defending team has lost a player, they will have to give up a lot of control of the map.

"Big B's marksmanship is off! Pulling out that spiral staircase could kill someone with a hairdryer!" Ma Xixi exclaimed in disbelief after seeing the kill.

[Bit could still be called Big B in the first half, but in the second half he's just a bot at best.]

[They can't hold on any longer. For several rounds in a row, NAVI has been losing players at the start. Have they been having any training camps recently?]

[Bit seems a bit resentful. He kept pushing from the side or the second floor for several rounds, but ended up getting eliminated by Xiaohua twice.]

If it weren't for his frequent bizarre and unpredictable behavior lately, I'd suspect he's been gambling.

The live stream chat was filled with discussions about bit's behavior, but Ma Xixi couldn't help but laugh while watching the live stream.

"As soon as Bit fell, Little Li abandoned the defense of point B and went all in on point A! That's a bit too decisive, hasn't he been talking to Nexa lately?!"

"And there's nothing wrong with this bet on Area A. They bet on B correctly last round, so why are they betting on A again this round? Will LVG fall for it again?"

As Bit dropped his weapon, Xiaohua, who was holding a hairdryer, didn't even bother to switch to the long gun Bit dropped. She and Starry headed straight for the location on the A2 building.

"A2 is completely empty, but it's sealed off with defensive smoke."

At this moment, Watermelon also blocked the offensive smoke at the link and saw that no one was defending the entire A1.

"God A, is there any movement on the banana path?"

Su Zhe was afraid that after the enemy team lost players at point A, they would take the initiative to clear out the enemy and gain control of the banana path, so he did not have any intention of pushing forward after standing in the tree position.

So he answered with his microphone: "No movement, it's unclear behind the stone slab."

After hesitating for a moment, Watermelon made a decision and said, "Why don't we just go for A directly? Going back to control the banana path is too troublesome and could easily lead to trouble."

Last round, he was indecisive and gave up point A to attack point B. Now that such a good opportunity to collect loot is in front of him, he doesn't want to miss it again.

After considering it for a moment, Su Zhe thought it was a good idea. After all, attacking any point was a 50/50 chance, and with the advantage in numbers, the success rate would only be greater.

So he withdrew directly from the banana path and went to the middle lane to rejoin his teammates.

"Here it comes! LVG is still going to attack site A. Xiao Li was originally going to gamble on 4A, but he felt it was too risky and retreated. But 3A's defense is not easy to break through either!"

"It all comes down to the coordination of this follow-up shot. Both Xiaohua and Starry went to A2, and IM on the balcony fired a smoke grenade from the second floor, which stalled the attack again."

Please! Transfer some money quickly!

Unfortunately, Ma couldn't find LVG's TS voice channel. Xigua still thought there might be fewer people in Area A, so he insisted on launching a bomb attack.

After hearing the smoke from the defenses on the A2 building, he said, "You guys hold off for a bit, I'll go check the link information and head to Duan Jing's place ahead of time."

As he spoke, he quietly crept towards the connection, but just as he revealed himself at the connection, the sound of a sniper rifle came from the study.

"Bang~"

w0nderful killed Westmelon with an AWP.

"The sniper is in the study! Give me a link and I can immediately advance to A1A2!"

Although the sniper's position has been exposed, Xigua thinks there are at most two people at bomb site A. Once the sniper is cut off, there will only be one person left.

Su Zhe couldn't refute this, since it was purely a gamble. He hadn't fully opened up the lane, and NAVI hadn't allocated any manpower to take control of the mid lane, so there was still a possibility that there would be fewer people at point A.

"The smoke on Building A2 is dissipating, I'm getting ready to fly!" Xiaohua shouted in the voice chat.

"Row!"

At this moment, Su Zhe had already arrived at A1. He peeked at the information inside A1 and, finding no one there, dropped a bombshell.

Jee, positioned in the first position in A1, advanced cautiously, first searching for information about the small pit. Soon after, a series of MP9 bullets came flying from behind her.

"Tetete~"

JL killed Jee using an MP9.

"Ninja position at bomb site!" Jee hadn't yet realized why the ID JL was at bomb site A; he only knew he needed to quickly relay the information to his teammates.

Upon hearing Jee's message, Xiaohua stepped out from the balcony and went straight to check the location of bomb site A, only to hear gunfire behind her again.

"Da da da~"

[IM used FAMAS to kill EmiliaQAQ]

"Balcony! Balcony!" Little Flower, who had been defeated, shouted loudly.

It was only at this point that they learned there were at least three CTs at point A.

Fortunately, Starry wasn't distracted by his teammates' information; he knew there was a sniper rifle at the link.

After exiting the second floor, he was the first to spot the CT who had just emerged from the smoke in the link, and immediately swiped his crosshair at him.

"Da da da~"

Starry used an AK-47 to headshot w0nderful

But then he was knocked away by IM, who walked out from the balcony eaves.

In professional matches, the follow-up shots are extremely quick. At this moment, only A1's Su Zhe was left. He just stepped out from behind the grass cart and sprayed JL, who was inside the bomb site, to death.

He knew there were still people on the balcony, so he turned 180 degrees to face them.

IM couldn't see Su Zhe's location immediately, so they had to step out again to try and kill him.

But as soon as he saw the bandits, a dark gun barrel was already pointed at him.

"Da da da~"

Arrow used an AK-47 to headshot and kill IM.

"Double kill! Arrow has once again become LVG's savior! Luckily, he spun around and took down both opponents in front and behind him! Now it's just a 1v1 situation between him and Little Li!"

"Arrow should be fine against Leonardo DiCaprio, right?!"

Xiao Li was wary of LVG suddenly rotating to another site, so he stayed in the CT spawn and didn't dare to go directly to the A bomb site. Only after confirming that the C4 was still at the A bomb site did he start going to the study to retake the site.

Su Zhe immediately picked up the grenade dropped by his teammate, then used the crate cover at the bomb site to drop the bomb.

After checking the link and finding no response, he threw his last smoke grenade at it.

"grass!"

As soon as the smoke grenade was thrown, Su Zhe sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, after the smoke grenade exploded, it left a very large gap.

But he's still unsure whether Leonardo DiCaprio came through the police replay or the banana road, since they've been fighting for so long and haven't seen him yet.

After considering it for a moment, Su Zhe began to swing his head back and forth to aim, moving silently toward the dead spot.

This position is still relatively safe, as it can block A1, and if the other party uses the link, they won't be able to see you immediately.

But in order to ensure that the opponent would guess his position and fire a preemptive shot, Su Zhe kept adjusting his position back and forth, left and right, and kept observing the positions of A1 and the connection.

"LeBron James emerged from the smoke! Can he guess Arrow's location...? He saw Arrow's movement!"

"But Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't hold back! Arrow had just pulled back in when he fired!"

The sound of a silenced gunshot was very clear. Upon hearing it, Su Zhe immediately ducked behind cover at a blind spot.

After a brief two-second pause, he aimed directly at the link and peeked.

Faced with Leonardo DiCaprio's marksmanship, Su Zhe felt he could take the initiative.

Sure enough, as soon as he revealed his position, a barrage of bullets came flying at him.

After tricking the opponent into moving their crosshair, Su Zhe returned to cover, accurately locked onto the opponent's position, and then performed a pre-aiming crouch-pull maneuver.

"Da da da~"

[Arrow kills Aleksib with a headshot using an AK-47] (End of Chapter)
