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

Chapter 115 I heard you're thinking of an idea?
After entering the bomb site, Team A immediately conducted a very thorough inventory check. The attacking team, however, was well aware that the attackers would employ many unconventional defensive tactics and ambushes.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Team A acted very meticulously, not giving any opportunity to be attacked from the side or ambushed and eliminated.

After gaining control of the bomb site, the attacking team immediately launched an infiltration into the area outside the site. On this map, once the defending team loses control of the bomb site, it is not easy to launch a counterattack immediately, especially when they lack utility and long guns in the pistol round.

Furthermore, NA did not actually choose a very quick defensive counterattack.

Although they didn't lose any points before the first round, it actually takes a relatively long time for the players to retake from point B to point A. More importantly, after gaining control of the bomb site, team A immediately launched a very strict forward push against CT. Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that NA could easily retake the bomb site.

For both sides, it's clear they're aiming for a clash in their respective positions. For NA, their goal is obviously to challenge the team's straight-line stance.

Soon after the defending team's key player went to revisit the bomb site, NA launched their counter-intelligence operation. They were essentially operating on three fronts, aiming to minimize the attackers' firepower at the bomb site. It's important to understand that in a gunfight, the side with more firepower on each side has a significant advantage. Therefore, NA was determined to create more problems for the attackers, preventing them from establishing a comfortable support position.

More importantly, before bomb site A was breached, Li Mo and Zaiwu cleverly hid on the second floor. This position posed a significant challenge and threat to the attacking team, as it made it virtually impossible for them to reach the bomb site and gain control to clear the second floor. Such a choice would be extremely risky, unless they had support from the other side.

So for NA, after securing the second floor and the firing lines on both sides of the bomb site, their retake at this point would definitely pose a significant threat to the attacking side.

Unfortunately, during the first wave of defense, two members of NA's team took damage from the attackers' grenades and fire, leaving them with low health. In the ensuing clash, their weakened state became a weak point for the enemy. Furthermore, during a counter-clearing attempt on the bomb site, they were eliminated immediately.

With the situation on the field instantly shifting to a three-on-five advantage, the pressure on their defense became even greater. However, their only saving grace, from the perspective of the audience and commentators, was that their only hope lay in Li Mo's Desert Eagle.

As we all know, Li Mo has repeatedly turned the tide of battles against numerical disadvantages using only a Desert Eagle or a sniper rifle. So, although they currently have a numerical advantage and are controlling the bomb site very well, achieving a very high pistol round win rate, they dare not be complacent.

Because they knew full well that their opponent was Team A, especially given the current situation with Li Mo still alive, there was still a great deal of uncertainty. In fact, Li Mo's Desert Eagle had caused Team A considerable trouble, especially after moving to the second floor and coordinating with CT's follow-up attack.

Li Mo got a great opportunity to engage in a gunfight, and his Desert Eagle proved incredibly powerful, delivering two precise headshots with just two shots. This instantly wiped out Team A's hard-earned advantage. Furthermore, Zaiwu also coordinated with Li Mo to eliminate the opposing artist, putting Team A back in a three-on-two situation.

This pistol round clearly demonstrated the exceptional individual skill of both players. Even with the player count at a record low, and both attackers huddled around the bomb site with very limited space to maneuver, they still managed an incredible instant kill. Facing somebody, they simply dodged and instantly headshot him.

The situation on the field then suddenly changed again. This 2v2 situation was actually challenging for Li Mo on the second floor of the defending team and Zhai Wu on the CT position. They were under pressure to defuse the bomb without any cover available. Meanwhile, the two attackers on the defending team were now in a comfortable position after the shift in attack and defense following the planting of the C4.

The pressure was on Li Mo and Zaiwu. The two attackers on the opposing team were completely unhurried inside the bomb site; they only needed to stall for time to win the pistol round. Li Mo, however, clearly knew he couldn't afford to waste any time and could only risk being killed to find opportunities to engage in gunfights.

"You just move your feet, and I'll come and provide you with a firing line."

Clearly, Li Mo's move out of position was intended to act as a human punching bag, as his current position couldn't pose a significant threat to the two attackers at the bomb site. With cover available, he couldn't effectively eliminate or threaten them. Therefore, his only option was to jump from the second floor, creating a good opportunity for the CTs to load the payload.

Currently, he's on the second floor, unable to coordinate with his teammates, and the two attackers don't need to pay him any attention. However, once he comes down from the second floor, the two attackers will face immense pressure. Being attacked from both sides, the situation will become extremely difficult. Therefore, Team A is unlikely to give Li Mo and Zaiwu an opportunity to combine their fire from two directions. They will inevitably seek opportunities to eliminate Li Mo, who is currently acting as a human punching bag.

So, the moment Li Mu jumped down, the opposing team actually had a warning. Under such circumstances, the opposing team obviously wouldn't let go of any opportunity to kill such a young child, and one of the two easily eliminated Li Mo. At this point, all hope and opportunity in this endgame rested entirely on Li Mo. Although Li Mo was killed without even a chance to fire, this was precisely the endgame tactic he had chosen.

As for the cargo carrier, there were no surprises. They took out one of the opponents first, and although the other had a slight advantage in the gunfight, he was still killed instantly by the carrier after the gun was turned around.

"Brilliant!"

"Potato Bro, nice!"

Upon seeing Li Mo secure this clutch situation, his teammates immediately expressed their amazement in voice chat. Reaching this stage meant the team was at a significant disadvantage, and finding a way out was incredibly difficult. Eliminating two opponents at the bomb site without any utility was inherently challenging. Especially considering Li Mo's position behind the bomb site had become a burden, preventing him from providing much support, his ability to pull off this 1v2 clutch was truly remarkable.

"It was all thanks to Mo Ge's voluntary self-sacrifice; I only did what I was supposed to do."

Hearing his teammate's praise, Zaiwu smiled sheepishly. His original intention was to create an opportunity for Li Mo to come downstairs and engage in a gunfight. He hadn't expected Li Mo to immediately volunteer to act as a human punching bag, giving him a chance to engage.

Therefore, this endgame clearly shows that Li Mo is part of the team. In fact, even though his individual ability is beyond doubt, he is still willing to step forward and make a self-sacrifice many times.

After witnessing this round, most viewers, especially Li Mo's fans, were quite astonished. In this situation, Li Mo, arguably the world's best professional player in terms of individual skill, was able to make such a choice. This perfectly demonstrates his responsibility within the team and his willingness to make an incredible sacrifice.

After winning the pistol round, Team A faced a real headache. This is a card that favors the defensive side, and they had performed exceptionally well in the pistol round. Their initial offensive strategy, control of the bomb site, and meticulous clearing left no room for defense. However, like many teams before them, they failed to capitalize on their final opportunities in the endgame.

Actually, they made some poor choices at the end. The two players shouldn't have focused so much on Li Mo. Instead, they should have made the wisest choice: one of them should have taken out Li Mo, who jumped from the second floor, while the other provided cover fire for their teammate. This would have ensured that Li Mo wouldn't pose too much of a threat to them while jumping, and would have significantly limited the CTs' rotation back.

However, in professional matches, no team has time or opportunity to regret their decisions. It was this small choice and a lapse in awareness that caused them to squander a pistol round they had initially held a significant advantage in. After the defending team, A, won the pistol round, the pressure on their offense became immense.

So at this point, they started coming up with ideas. They first experimented with items in the mid-lane, deliberately revealing information about your side. Then, they quietly tried to reposition themselves. The crowd surged, vying for control of the banana lane.

This tactic was quite obvious to Li Mo. Even with pistols, if the opposing team really wanted to control the mid lane, they would have to provide ample items. Items are undoubtedly the most important element in matches between top professional teams.

Even in eco rounds, the attacking side will still buy plenty of items. They'll do this whenever they want to try and win the round.

However, Team A on the attacking side clearly didn't invest enough utility in the mid lane this round. Li Mo could tell at a glance that the opponent's tactical attempt in the mid lane was merely a smoke grenade. It was highly likely that the opponent intended to confuse the mid lane and draw their defenders away, then quickly accelerate through the banana lane. That would be when they truly unleashed their bomb-burst tactic.

Having deciphered the opponent's tactical approach, Li Mo quickly dispatched one of the defenders in the middle lane to reinforce the designated spot. Once the attacking team accelerated down the banana path, the defenders shifted their focus to the location. After the attacking team immediately deployed a bomb and arrived at the banana path, they faced unexpected firepower from three defenders, along with counter-attacks using utility items.

In this situation, with their weapons already at a disadvantage and their items already deployed in the mid and banana lanes, Team A was essentially out of options. After their initial clash, they were wiped out by NA in a single wave of attacks, all five members of their team being eliminated in an instant. Therefore, Team A realized that their conventional tactics were no longer effective in deceiving NA, and in fact, they were only exacerbating the problem. To attempt any tactical adjustments later in the game, they needed to develop more complex and sophisticated strategies.
