CS: A young talent from Peking University, you want me to play professionally?

Chapter 103: Top 100 Moments in CS:GO Professional Matches - Written by Li Mo!

Although only two rounds have been played on this map of the Lost City, it is already clear that Gambit is being completely dominated by NA.

Despite having the advantage on the offensive, Gambit surprisingly lost two rounds in a row, and most importantly, only managed to get one kill in those two rounds.

Even if you lose the pistol round, it's almost impossible to turn the tide with a pure eco round in the second round, especially on this map.

However, strong teams like Gambit are often able to pull off incredible comebacks in eco rounds, or at least manage to get some firepower.

However, some clues can already be seen from these two rounds, regardless of the players' performance.

Gambit's tactical intentions were completely seen through by NA, and NA's foresight led to Gambit paying a heavy price on offense in the next two rounds.

Fifflaren's current concern is that in the first half, all of Gambit's offensive plays were consistently dominated by NA's dominance.

In the third round, both sides were fully armored and armed.

For Gambit, if they lose this round, they will undoubtedly face a huge score disadvantage in the first half.

Because if they lose this round, the score will basically be 0:4, which is undoubtedly difficult for Gambit to accept.

"Control the map, fighting them with speed-up tactics feels like suicide."

Having lost two rounds in a row without firing a single shot, AdreN felt like he had eaten shit.

To be honest, he had never encountered such a desperate match since he started playing professionally.

After these two rounds, AdreN now has only one thought.

The overall speed must be reduced.

He never wanted to see the other side get killed and fall to the ground in an instant.

To be honest, in AdreN's opinion, the individual performance of the opponents in these two rounds was not the main point. What was most ridiculous was that every rush was completely predicted.

If this continues, the final result will likely be very similar.

So after entering this long-range round, Gambit finally adjusted their tactics and stopped trying to speed things up with NA.

At the start of the game, Gambit adopted a 2-1-2 formation.

This positioning clearly shows that they want to obtain as much information as possible about the front point in order to find the weak side of the NA defense.

Once the weak side is found, Gambit can concentrate their firepower on a faster rush.

However, what frustrates them is that even after 37 seconds into the game, they still haven't been able to obtain any valuable information.

After they prepared to slow down and use the default setting to gather information, NA surprisingly refrained from immediately using items to suppress or push forward.

Whether at points A and B or in the middle lane, both sides remained inexplicably silent.

This would obviously be a very awkward situation for Gambit.

It's important to understand that not only does taking default actions cost time, but more importantly, if they don't obtain any valuable information, they'll be like headless flies when they try to switch sides later.

"Gambit will probably still choose to gank mid lane, as time is already a bit tight for them."

As we all know, the NA side should have two submachine guns on their side.

For point B, it is known that the defending side has two submachine guns, so the location of these two submachine guns can most likely be determined at point B.

Because of the narrow and relatively complex terrain at point B, the submachine gun's power and advantages can be maximized.

Therefore, from the commentator's perspective, it was clearly not a wise tactical decision for the attacking side to rashly choose to attack point B again.

Under the pressure of time constraints, although they did not have much information at the beginning of the game, there is no doubt that choosing to flank A in the middle lane at this time is still the safest and most likely to be effective decision.

"That's right, in fact, on the NA side, point A is only being defended by Corba alone."

"Cobra was very clever here. He didn't miss any information from beginning to end. He completely gave Gambit a false sense of security, and the effect was quite good."

"But if the attacking side chooses to rush straight to point A without any scruples, Cobra will inevitably become the target of everyone's fire. He will then face at least four enemy players firing from multiple sides. In that case, it will depend on how many of the attacking players Cobra can hold off."

Li Mo silently guarded point A alone, and even retreated to an extremely far back position, such as the trash can.

Clearly, Li Mo deliberately gave up the opportunity to obtain information about the bomb site, and did not give the opposing attacking team any chance to get information about the bomb site immediately.

However, if Gambit chooses to go all out and speed up the bomb site, he will face immense pressure.

He could certainly choose to completely concede the bomb site, but obviously doing so would make it very difficult for the defending side to mount a counter-attack and clear the area.

"After Gambit's numbers were in place, they provided utility at both point A and mid lane, which was indeed a tactical execution for a mid-to-point gank."

"In that case, let's see if Cobra at the bomb site will retreat and completely give up the bomb site. Even though he has a full load of utility, in this situation, even if his teammates at the arch can help him share the fire, he will still face at least two lines of fire from the second floor of A site and after the breakthrough at A1."

"I absolutely have to step down from this position; otherwise, I'm doomed!"

Seeing that Gambit finally stopped his reckless rampage in the long-range rounds and that the final pincer attack found NA's weak side, Fifflaren finally breathed a sigh of relief and, unusually, took the initiative to speak.

Does not retreat mean certain death?

At this moment, Li Mo's eyes were blazing with determination as she watched the screen.

From the beginning, he judged that Gambit would most likely change their strategy in this round, play a default move, slowly collect map information, and gradually gain control of the map.

Therefore, he directed the purchasing process.

There is one person each at the VIP position in the middle lane and the front point in the sewer, and two people at point B.

This arrangement maximizes the use of their firearms.

However, the number of people is limited. If Gambit chooses to attack point A from both sides, his side will naturally face the full firepower of the attacking side immediately.

At this point, his most sensible choice would be to retreat and wait for his teammates to launch a 5v5 counter-attack.

However, Li Mo knew very well that under normal circumstances, the success rate of such a defensive maneuver was less than 50%.

Therefore, he will not choose it.

After the enemy finished their first bomb-planting tactic at the bomb site, Li Mo's position was not significantly restricted or disturbed.

However, at this point, the attackers on the second floor and A2 had already moved forward to their positions.

This means that if Li Mo dares to show his face, he will soon be caught in a pincer attack from two lines of gunfire.

To make matters worse, Shen Miaoxue and Ling in the mid lane were both taken down.

Furthermore, the deaths of the two players did not translate into kills for the two attackers in the mid lane.

At this point, the situation on the field was 3 against 5, and because Li Mo lost his VIP position, he was unable to get support from the vehicle or somebody who wanted to return from the supermarket or B2 in a short period of time.

So, it looks like NA still has three people on their side right now.

In fact, Li Mo, who was in a difficult situation, was not only completely trapped, but also desperate because his teammates could hardly provide him with any help.

"I said, the individual skills of the players that NA is so proud of are a joke when facing truly world-class teams."

"Given the current situation, anyone with a clear head like Cobra would know that they should choose to save their gun."

"However, given his current position, it would be extremely difficult for him to even keep his gun."

"A submachine gun from the supermarket is unlikely to provide any assistance to his other side at this point." "Just watch, from this round onwards, Gambit will gradually take control of the situation."

Fifflaren never plays a losing game once he starts talking.

And to be honest, his analysis of the current situation on both sides of the field is also very accurate.

Upon hearing his words, NA and Li Mo's fans at the scene were all on tenterhooks.

Beside her, Shen Miaoxue, who had already died in battle, turned her head to look at Li Mo next to her.

Can Li Mo pull off this seemingly impossible match?
The fire was directed to the exit on the second floor, to delay and restrict the people on the second floor as much as possible.

A high-level flash was delivered, and at the same time, Li Mo, who had already silently moved to the location of the long box, decisively pulled out!

"boom!"

The M4 bullets poured out, almost instantly tearing Hobbit's head apart.

"Nima's!"

"He's in the long box!"

Even though he had taken some precautions after seeing the fire on the second floor, hobbit still didn't expect that Li Mo would actually be hiding in point A under such circumstances, and would even dare to pull him out like this!

The high-flash attack that Li Mo threw was undoubtedly somewhat deadly at this moment.

Given the reactions of Gambit and the others, they were naturally able to deflect the flashbang.

But you should know that sometimes flashlights aren't afraid of you carrying them.

Because the moment he turned his back, Li Mo used his gun to ruthlessly reap the heads of the opposing team.

After killing Hobbit, Li Mo's gun crosshair shifted instantly.

Sweep and move!

Without giving the opposing team any chance to follow up with a shot, they were eliminated.

A precise and accurate kill!

After securing the double kill, AdreN on the second floor extinguished the fire and pulled out, but at this crucial moment, he missed his shot.

The fact that they didn't strike at the head immediately was a fatal mistake that gave Li Mo an opportunity.

After turning the gun around, Li Mo instantly killed AdreN, who was still in a state of extreme regret and self-blame.

Three kills!

the other side.

After successfully killing Zeus while he was carrying cargo in jungle, he also secured a triple kill for himself in this round.

Both sides are putting on a show.

However, it is clear that in such an extreme endgame, there can only ever be one protagonist.

The next moment, Li Mo squatted down after turning around.

The audience, who had been holding their breath, and the viewers in the live broadcast room erupted in almost boisterous cheers.

He made a near 180-degree turn, then crouched down to avoid Zues's headshot.

The M4 bullets poured out, and unsurprisingly, instantly took away Zues's already low health head.

Four kills!

No one could have imagined it.

A lone player defends a point, facing pressure from gadgets and multiple lines of fire, as well as the last enemy appearing behind him.

Li Mo still managed to accomplish this theoretically nearly impossible 1v4 solo feat.

However, the miracle was not over yet.

The legend continues!

After killing Zeus, Li Mo did not hesitate at all and strode directly to the archway.

He always possesses a calculation and memory for the situation and information on the field that rivals that of a machine.

At this moment, the last person on the other side was undoubtedly outside the archway. He dared not engage in a gunfight, nor did he dare to expose his footsteps and give Li Mo an opportunity to get a solo pentakill.

Li Mo's guess was correct.

Dosia, the last remaining member of Gambit, was trembling outside the archway.

With little time left, even if he managed to kill Li Mo by pulling him out now, it would be almost impossible to take the bomb and plant it without knowing the location of the other person.

Most importantly, he knew very well that Li Mo's touch had reached a terrifying level at this point.

With his teammates falling one after another, even though he knew Li Mo was low on health, he didn't dare to take the initiative to engage in a gunfight.

Moreover, their economic situation doesn't allow him to squander the AK, his only chance to turn the tide in the next round.

Therefore, no matter what, he only has one option: to keep the gun.

However, the approaching footsteps clearly indicated that Li Mo had no intention of giving up on getting the pentakill, nor did he want to give Dosia a chance to save his weapon.

There's no other way. Since the location may already be locked, delaying further could lead to being attacked from both sides.

At this point, he had no choice but to fight back.

At the very least, he was at full health and armor, giving him a significant advantage in a 1v1 solo match.

Of course, aside from the fact that Li Mo had the upper hand in terms of the near-large and far-small position, there was also the other factor.

The moment Dosia pulled out, not only all the spectators, but also everyone watching the match, including the four Gambit players who had already been eliminated, widened their eyes in surprise.

Because this very moment could very well become the most memorable moment of this WCA Global Finals or even the year's CS:GO professional competition.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, and the big screen displaying the CT side as the winner.

The outcome is already obvious.

Li Mo gets a pentakill! NA takes another point!
At the same time, this clutch situation, which would later be recorded in the top 100 moments of CS:GO professional matches, was also born from this!
"omg!"

"I can't believe my eyes!"

"Cobra did it!"

"At point A, Cobra, through his masterful use of utility and exceptional marksmanship, pulled off an incredible solo wipeout of the entire squad!"

"Keep in mind, he wasn't facing an unknown team, but the legendary Gambit!"

"I believe that all the viewers are absolutely shocked at this moment!"
