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

"Brother Mo, should we stick to our usual starting formation and try to secure the sewer positions first?"

After entering the training match, NA started as the defensive team, while A team was on the offensive team.

Actually, for NA, being on the defensive side first was also the outcome that Li Mo wanted.

Because in the tactical explanation just now, the focus was on some routine things that the defending side needs to pay attention to.

After all, in previous matches, when NA was on the offensive side, they were generally able to maintain a clear strategy and a decent overall win rate.

The main reason for this is the individual ability of the players in the NA team, especially Li Mo, who plays at a very high level when he is giving it his all. So when facing teams that are not top-tier, they can exert strong pressure when they are in top form.

But to be honest, in Li Mo's view, this kind of victory was not the result he expected to achieve, because most of the time you need to rely on the cooperation of everyone in the team and the clarity of thought.

Relying solely on individual skill, especially marksmanship, and on-the-spot tactics and command during a match, is not enough for a team to maintain a consistently strong performance.

Therefore, in this situation, Li Mo repeatedly emphasized in a short amount of time the standard defensive positions they should choose and the use of tools. Once they master these, they can achieve a qualitative leap and breakthrough on the defensive end. In subsequent matches, they only need to remember these points. Even if the opponent manages to figure out their standard defensive positioning habits, mastering the basics will allow them to adapt to any situation.

"I've already told you what I needed to say earlier. Now it's time for you to do some self-reflection. After all, this isn't a competition; it's just a training match. The biggest purpose and significance of a training match is to allow you to identify problems and, in the process of identifying and correcting them, test whether you can achieve accurate feasibility."

"understood."

Li Mo's meaning was quite clear: he would no longer provide them with the meticulous instructions they had before. Through this World Championship, Li Mo had realized more clearly that he absolutely could not allow the team members to become completely dependent on him. While he certainly played a crucial role in his brain most of the time, enabling the most reasonable and precise tactics, if the team members completely lost their own judgment and became dependent on him, it would be difficult for them to actively think and reflect on their own in many situations.

For Li Mo, it was impossible for him to stay in the team and fight alongside them forever, because his time was limited. More importantly, he hoped that his teammates could also continuously improve their awareness and eventually develop into very powerful minds.

For any team, the importance of the commander is undeniable. During the game, the commander will still give overall command from beginning to end. However, in many details, players need to continuously improve their awareness. If you don't improve your awareness, in the tense and exciting process of the game, you will often have to rely on your instinctive reaction and awareness to make judgments quickly.

Li Mo cannot possibly grasp everyone's perspective, and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to provide timely advice and commands to his teammates at all times. So even if he could take on a very important command role and his teammates would trust him 100%, he would still understand, just like his teammates, that they themselves must make breakthroughs in this area.

"Let's put some pressure on them in the pistol round. We'll leak some information to their players at point A, making them think we're going to speed things up at point A before we quickly rotate to point B."

Team A also put in their best effort for this scrim, especially after the recently concluded WC A World Championship. They clearly realized how important it was to scrim with teams like NA, who are currently in a complete talent gap.

Because you must clearly understand the team you are facing, which possesses almost the world's top firepower, the clearest and most powerful mind, and the calmest snipers and commanders.

So if you want to continuously make your team stronger, especially if you want to master the most advanced tactics in the world, then you must communicate with NA through training matches.

From this perspective, Team A can be said to have been very forward-thinking. The vast majority of viewers, professional players, and clubs around the world believed that the strength and performance that NA showed before the WC A Global Seeds Finals were likely just a flash in the pan.

After all, many people believe that when a team relies too much on a core player and everything revolves around that core player, then once the individual performance is limited and the team's tactics are constantly studied, analyzed, and countered, it is completely insufficient for the NA team to have only a world-class individual player like Li Mo.

In fact, other teams also made a common mistake: they underestimated NA without conducting sufficient data research or watching enough of their matches. Sometimes, when you subconsciously believe that a person or team has many problems and cannot pose a sufficient threat to you, you will consciously ignore many things and be unwilling to admit the opponent's strength.

However, Team A has always maintained a very strong and self-motivated learning attitude, which is why they have been able to keep their team's strength at the top of the world. So, when Li Mo first tried to communicate with their management and challenge them to a match, Team A readily accepted.

Before this WC A Global Finals, because they had already played many practice matches with NA, the biggest gain for Team Alliance was not that they knew NA the best among all the teams in the world.

Rather, during the training matches, they truly learned a great deal, both in terms of individual player performance and tactical aspects. After learning these things, they made full use of their time to review and analyze, trying to internalize these lessons as much as possible.

"A University gives a fake flashbang, then stops walking."

"Leave one person to cover the rear, then give false information to delay the enemy's reaction time and recovery speed. Then the rest of us will immediately break through from the sewer and rotate to B." "If the enemy has someone in the sewer and their countermeasures are very strong, we'll use utility items immediately. We must fight them for the sewer position."

According to the head coach and commander of Team A, NA has never actually gone to the sewers in previous matches, especially at the beginning of the game before any matches have started, to lay in ambush.

Based on their previous experience, Team A quickly switched to B after giving false information about point A.

However, what they didn't know was that since returning from this World Championship, Li Mo had already done a lot of tactical review and communication in such a short time. So NA was completely different from before, especially the players' understanding of this map and even the teamwork between the two players. In just two hours, everyone had done enough thinking and adjustments.

So, under these circumstances, when Team A thought they had given enough false information at point A to trick Team Na into rotating back and setting up more defenses, all four of them went to the sewers.

After Flash attempted to accelerate and break through the defenses, Team A was caught completely off guard and immediately suffered a combo attack from Flash and Fire.

Then the defenders in the sewers were very clever. Although they knew they had used items to severely limit Team A's speed, they did not try to drag things out and launch a counterattack.

This discipline was evident in the clashes between the two sides at the very beginning of the pistol round, indicating that after Li Mo spoke, everyone in NA responded immediately and made changes and adjustments.

"Should we put out the fire directly?"

After seeing the item suppression provided immediately, the members of Team A quickly asked in the voice chat.

Because for them, it's a four-person breakthrough in the sewers, so logically they should have a numerical advantage. And since A has already used up their first wave of utility, under these circumstances, if they can use their numerical advantage to extinguish the fire and speed things up, they are very likely to be able to kill A's defenders in the sewers and then break through to the bomb site to plant the bomb.

"No, let's be cautious."

"They are very likely to be a big hit. If we encounter three defenders on the opposing team, the chances of us being able to get a kill trade by pulling out in that situation are not very high."

After another engagement, Team A ultimately opted to harass the construction site before rotating to another location.

It has to be said that Team A's choice in this round was very cautious and disciplined, and judging from the result, it was also very wise and the judgment was very accurate.

By continuously providing false information, they were constantly maneuvering the defenders' movements. After attracting the defenders' attention again by providing information from the construction site, they chose to accelerate their attack on point A. At this point, they took full advantage of the time difference in the return defense of point A to perfectly plant the C4.

Under normal circumstances, if they were to attempt to breach the sewers, tactically speaking, it wouldn't pose a significant problem, but they would face heavy defense from the Na.

Even if they manage to exchange kills despite being hampered by equipment and disadvantaged gun positions, pulling them out would essentially be a loss for them.

Therefore, their ability to patiently choose to rotate again under these circumstances is a significant tactical breakthrough. Previously, after providing false information in the first wave, the NA defenders would have already been repositioned. Even if a wave of utility was deployed in the sewers, there wouldn't be many players in that position, making a speed rush clearly highly beneficial.

After successfully planting the C4, Team A at bomb site A has gained a significant advantage. In terms of map control, through constant skirmishes, they have gained a lot of information and key positions.

Therefore, under such circumstances, CT's defensive maneuvering is greatly limited and becomes quite difficult.

Under time pressure, the defending team has very few options left. They can only grit their teeth and launch a counter-attack. However, the only saving grace is that they did not lose the numerical advantage during the previous rotation.

With the return visit of these 5 people, the two sides finally engaged in a 5v5 head-on confrontation. However, since the information about the bomb site was almost completely unknown, NA would inevitably have to pay a corresponding price to obtain the information about the bomb site.

In the first engagement, Li Mo and Lin Yu were taken down by three shots from the opposing team. Under these circumstances, even though Li Mo's marksmanship was incredibly sharp, he didn't have many opportunities to utilize it effectively. This was because, given the earlier instructions for the pistol round, he couldn't possibly have a full inventory of items; his utility was quite limited. Therefore, having been tricked into giving them information, their retake was hampered by a lack of utility.

Although one player from Team A managed to defeat them, and all three players delivered exceptional individual performances with superb marksmanship, the opposing team ultimately secured the victory by eliminating the remaining members of Team A and winning the pistol round. (End of Chapter)
