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

7-1
An unexpected score appeared.

In the EPL tournament, M80 also lost to G2 on the map Town, but that loss went into two overtime periods.

During the regular season, both sides played a back-and-forth game, and they even took the lead in the first half during the defensive phase.

As a result, less than a month later, G2 gave them a completely different feeling.

S1n, the team's commander in M80, also initiated an emergency pause, attempting to adjust the defensive strategy.

They originally planned to save all the timeouts for the offensive team in the second half, but now it seems that if they don't use them now, they can only save them for the second map.

Reck leaned back in his gaming chair with a pained expression and said, "Sorry, but that kid with the ID Arrow was disgusting!"

He is the flex player in the M80 team, and he is also the one who directly guards the A2 building and faces off against Su Zhe. In the last competition, even Nexa, who has a lot of competition experience, was completely outmaneuvered by him.

As a result, after G2 replaced their player with a younger one, they were unable to defeat him.

It's not that he's less experienced than Arrow. In many situations, he knew Arrow's location, but he just couldn't win a head-on gunfight every time he went out to engage in a gunfight.

I tried to play it safe and deliberately gave the opponent a chance to push forward, but I still couldn't win the gunfight and got caught in the front.

With his death, the entire map control of Building A2 was lost, which put s1n, who was defending alongside him, in an awkward position, forcing him to retreat to the back point to defend.

This triggered a series of chain reactions, forcing them to relinquish control of the middle lane and making it difficult for Jiaodao to push forward, which put their defense in a very passive position.

So far, their only point in the first half was a risky gamble by s1n on a 4A.

S1n listened to Reck's complaints and felt somewhat helpless.

In one round, he went with Reck to set up a cross-setup on the A2 floor, but both of them died instantly, and the other side swept them all away.

He rubbed his temples hard to relieve the pain and then said, "Next round, let's not use 3B to put pressure on the banana item. slaxz, you go get the AWP and set up a gun with Reck at A2. I'll guard the link. According to that kid's habits, he'll definitely push forward at A2."

"For point B, you guys should just play the standard doubles defense. If the pressure is too high, use the B tunnel to cut off the smoke and stall for time."

After s1n made some specific tactical adjustments, the one-minute pause ended quickly, and the game resumed.

After replenishing his supplies, Su Zhe headed straight for the side passage.

Upon arriving at the red door in the side passage, he first threw a VIP fireball, then threw a link smoke for his teammate, before continuing to make his way towards the spiral staircase.

"Oh?" Masi commented, observing the situation on the field. "M80 has finally opted for a normal 3A defense. Hahaha, has he finally succumbed to the pressure from the flank?"

Mo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "M80 is under a lot of defensive pressure right now. Now that the two of them can't control the banana lane with their utility, they've started to directly use smoke grenades to defend the parking spaces."

"We just don't want to hand over control of the banana route right away, but we've managed to hold on in the early game. What will we do in the mid-to-late game?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xixi chimed in, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it, we have to hold out for a while, oh! But they've set up a double spiral staircase setup with a sniper rifle and an assault rifle at point A!"

"Does Arrow even realize that he's still using the same tactics he employed in the previous rounds? He's completely disregarding his opponent!"

It's not that you don't treat the opponent like a human being, but when you can consistently get results by pushing forward and achieve a K/D ratio of 13-4, who would resist the urge to stay in the back and obediently hold their position when they're on fire?

At 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, he was already at the bottom of the spiral staircase on the peekA2 floor.

At this point, Jiaodao was unable to take control of the sandbag and yellow wall immediately due to the smoke from the parking space, which made the other members of G2 seem somewhat idle.

"Is anyone guarding the side path?" Breath asked after glancing at the minimap.

"There's no one ahead, they're still touching the spot," Su Zhe quickly replied.

After saying that, Su Zhe first squatted down and went up the spiral staircase. When he was almost at the top, he immediately used his spring to look at the location of the boiler room, but still couldn't see anyone.

"Did the opposing team still leave A2 to fight after the timeout?"

After muttering to himself for a moment, Su Zhe set his sights on the A2 corridor. He first peeked at the radiator and, finding no one there, peeked deeper into the corridor.

"Bang~"

The sniper rifle fired in response.

However, Su Zhe's movement was too small, and slaxz missed with his straight-mounted sniper rifle!

Reck, who was at the front and had his rifle propped up against the VIP position, sensed something was wrong and immediately turned his sights toward the spiral staircase.

But it was too late; a bandit's figure had already appeared out from the side.

Immediately afterwards, countless bullets came hurtling in.

"Da da da~"

Arrow killed Reck with a headshot using an AK-47.

After getting the kill, Su Zhe saw the sniper trying to retreat into cover behind him and used his mouse to control the bullet trajectory to fire again.

"Da da da~"

Arrow killed slaxz with an AK-47.

When slaxz was still a body length away from cover, he was stopped by the slowed bullets!

"M80 sniper rifle setup package, Arrow! Don't move forward!"

"Ah! He swept through them again and wiped them both out! I can hardly tell who the fragger is on this map anymore!"

Ma Xixi, who was giving a commentary, couldn't help but swear, and the live stream chat was already filled with question marks.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

Are they treating the M80 like a pig to be slaughtered?

[M80: Dude, what more do you want from us?! All three of us are supposed to be guarding A2?!]

I wouldn't even dare to be this bold in the Heavenly Ladder!

[Xiao Zhe: You four take a break, there are five of them on the other side and I can't kill them all, don't try to steal my stats.]

【.】

While the comments section was buzzing with discussion, Su Zhe, who had secured a double kill, was no longer afraid and headed straight for the balcony.

As soon as I stepped off the balcony, I saw the CT scan that had been uploaded via a link in the study.

Su Zhe stopped instantly and quickly swung his crosshair.

"Da da da~"

Arrow killed s1n with a headshot using an AK-47.

"Bag A should be empty!" Su Zhe jumped off the balcony and shouted into the voice chat as he moved towards the study.

The man who was still debating whether to control the middle lane first paused for a moment, then looked up at the turn time.

In less than a minute, he cleared out Bread Box A all by himself?!
It seems like I can actually win the game if I don't kill anyone!
After Su Zhe cleared out bomb site A, Malbus and Swishrt at bomb site B lost all interest in defending.

The game wasn't even in the mid-game, and it's already a 2v5 situation. How can we even play like this?
The score is now 8-1.

"Wow! Arrow! You're amazing!"

Niko stared wide-eyed at Su Zhe, who was still on the banana path, wondering whether he should wait for the parking spaces to clear up before going to drive on the banana path. In the blink of an eye, the round had already ended.
Hearing Niko's words, Su Zhe chuckled and joked, "The other side is completely out of form, giving me an opportunity."

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, even when competing against Green Dragon in a small town, he wouldn't have played so aggressively on the side path. He would most likely have just made a default move at the bottom of the spiral staircase, and he would only take a risk if the team needed to gather information.

However, after what he said after the competition the day before yesterday, he felt that he had been a bit too cautious, so he tried to be more aggressive today, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

Of course, this is also because M80 was really cold today. If he were playing against NAVI or a top-tier team on this map, he definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily.

Finally, in the tenth round, M80 gritted his teeth and gambled on a 4A combo to catch Su Zhe at the start.

Thanks to the economic boost from their losing streak, they can also go all-in this round, including the sniper rifle.

The sniper formation in the boiler room, along with Reck and S1n using the aid of items, led them to push forward down the spiral staircase.

This was something Su Zhe hadn't anticipated. During his dodge, he was caught off guard by a sidestep timing error, and under the combined fire of the two, Su Zhe was quickly reduced to watching a black-and-white cartoon. "At least three A2s," Su Zhe helplessly reported.

After receiving information that there were many people at point A, Breath immediately went to speed up the banana route, but was delayed by a smoke grenade from Malbus at point B that blocked the attack.

Seeing this, Breath immediately ordered the smoke to be used, which was the right idea. However, Malbus was really lucky. He got a double kill on a box while covering his eyes before being finished off.

Moreover, the kid also got a sniper rifle this round, and could only set up a sniper rifle at the back to prevent the enemy from pushing forward in the middle. This immediately separated him and his surviving cousin from each other by the smoke from B.

In addition, the CTs on this map, Town, are extremely fast at retaking, which prevented the two from finding a suitable opportunity. M80 took advantage of the numerical superiority to slowly finish them off.

"NIIIIICE!!!"

"Brothers, you're awesome! It's our turn to catch up!"

Finally, they got another point after a long time, which made the M80 players' seats erupt in cheers.

After shouting along with his teammates, s1n suddenly felt something was off. It seemed like there was nothing to be happy about after clearing out the A2 building with the help of four people gambling on the point.
Sure enough, in the last two rounds of the first half, when Su Zhe was putting pressure on the side lane alone, he also increased the pressure on the banana lane with items at the start.

After forcing out the defensive smoke in B tunnel, and then using Su Zhe's flank push to decide whether to directly bomb the point, G2 successfully secured the remaining two points of the first half.

By the time both teams entered the half, the score was already 10-2.

M80 seemed completely numb; for the entire first half of the match (12 rounds), they hadn't figured out how to handle Arrow.

G2 players' bench.

The group bumped fists at each other in encouragement.

"Brothers, you played well in the first half. Let's try to take them down in the second half!" He still had a big smile on his face.

M80's lineup remains unchanged, while G2's overall strength has changed dramatically after replacing Nexa.

The effect of Su Zhe joining their team seems to be even greater than expected.

After all, the tactics of top-tier international teams are so meticulously researched these days that even the slightest mistake can lead to total defeat.

Even if Su Zhe can't kill anyone in the side lane, just doing his job well in the side lane and not giving the opponent any chances would be a huge improvement for G2.

"The feeling of IEM Chengdu is back! It's been a long time since I won so easily. It feels so good to win without lifting a finger!" Niko said, leaning back in his gaming chair with a contented expression.

The child nodded in agreement, smiling broadly, and said, "I feel like I barely fired the sniper rifle I bought in the first half of the game."

Actually, he didn't perform well in the first half, mainly because the attacking sniper rifle was severely limited on the map of the small town.

Even when at a disadvantage, they can probably still catch up with a few more enemies pushing forward.

Once a teammate gains an advantage, before he can even reach the front line, the game has already moved on to the next round. At most, he can only defend the bomb after it has been planted.

However, M80 was also well aware of the situation. When the game seemed unfavorable, he immediately went to save his weapon, not giving him any chance to perform!

As for Su Zhe, his KD ratio was already as high as 18-7 in the first half, exceeding the 2.0 KD ratio!
Su Zhe smiled after hearing this and said, "Then I'll slack off for a bit in the second half and leave some kills for your sniper rifle."

Taz patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Still leaving kills? If we win the pistol round later, the other side probably won't even see a sniper rifle."

"Alright, the match is about to start. Let's adjust our mindset and take a 1-0 lead first."

The teams switched sides, and G2 started on the defensive side.

In the pistol round, Breath threw out two dual pistols and said, "We'll start with a normal 3A2B. Kid and Niko, whoever picks one up will defend B."

"Arrow, you pick up a gun and position yourself near the middle lane. If I hear footsteps, I'll flash and counter-farm you from the back."

Seeing that his teammates were in good form, he called for a more aggressive defensive positioning.

As the countdown ended, Su Zhe picked up his dual pistols, replenished his armor, and headed straight for the link. He positioned himself near the mid lane point of the link and waited patiently.

"OK, the pistol round in the second half is also the last chance for the M80 team."

"They chose to set up a defensive position at the start to prevent the enemy from pushing forward, but G2's positioning and the weapons they used made it impossible for them to actively engage in combat."

"With neither side making any moves, the M80 decided to push towards the middle lane again."

Upon hearing footsteps coming from the middle lane, Su Zhe was ready to furiously press the left mouse button, but soon, a smoke grenade exploded near him, directly obstructing his firing line.

"A1 is in!" Su Zhe hurriedly reminded him.

Their defense this round was really weak at A1. If the guy who went to stand at A2 couldn't hold it, then the terrorists would have been completely let into the bomb site.

I had planned to use the flashbang after the link, but I couldn't find a good opportunity to use it, so I gave up and chose to go to the front of the A bomb site as soon as possible.

Su Zhe originally planned to flank the bomb site from the connector as soon as possible, but after the enemy grouped up and entered the middle lane, they started frantically casting smoke at the connector, causing him to take two bullets for no reason.

Having acquired dual pistols, Su Zhe was naturally not intimidated. He began to move through the smoke while countering the enemy's bullet trajectories.

"Clap clap clap!"

Arrow used dual Berettas to kill slaxz while shrouded in smoke.

After securing a kill, Su Zhe didn't get greedy. Sensing more bullets coming his way, he ducked and retreated towards the link.

"An A2! Half-crippled!"

Before Su Zhe could even get to the front of the bun shop, he received the devastating news of his cousin's death.

He's got two pistols! If the enemy sets up a bomb site, it'll be really tough for him to fight them from a distance.

However, at this moment, Breath, who didn't get many kills in the match, stepped up. Using the high box as cover, he got a headshot with his USP and successfully caught Swishrt crossing A1.

This guy's touch was indeed ice cold. He only got two kills in the first half, and naturally he wasn't in form in the second half either. He couldn't even hold his own in a head-on fight.

Once the M80 stopped at this breathing point, it naturally wouldn't dare to drive into the large pit at will.

This instantly bought Su Zhe time to get close to A1.

“Look, it’s the A2! I’ll take the A1 and get past it!” Su Zhe said proactively.

"it is good!"

After hearing the breathing sound, he peeked at the second floor again, but he didn't expect that a bandit had already passed point A1 and was right opposite the box where he was.

As soon as he pulled him out, there was one on the A2 building and another right in front of him. The lines of fire from above and below intersected, and he immediately fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Su Zhe originally intended to pull from the right side of the high box, but now that he was dead from the breathing attack, he directly exposed his feet and pulled to the left, while simultaneously drawing his pre-fire gun.

The opponent was clearly eager to kill him, and Malbus, who was close to him from the high box, crashed headfirst into his crosshair.

"Clap clap~"

Arrow used dual Beretta weapons to headshot and kill malbsMd.

A2's Reck wanted to finish off the enemy, but Su Zhe quickly dodged back to cover, giving him no chance at all!

"Mom! Annoying guy!"

Reck felt a surge of frustration and leaped from the A2 building, determined to pounce on that damned guy and kill him.

As a result, during my movement, the opponent's body was pulled out from behind the cover.

"Clap clap~"

Arrow killed Reck using dual-wielding Beretta weapons.

Triple kill achieved!

However, this allowed A1's s1n to catch Su Zhe off guard and finish him off with a shot.

But what's the use?
Niko from the banana path had already moved forward to meet the attack, while the child retreated to the study to defend.

Against these two star players, s1n didn't last two shots before being taken down by Niko with a single shot.

Silence reigned in the M80 players' box.

Because they knew their first drawing was due.
