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

"After giving the item, we immediately double pull. At this point, the opponent is unlikely to realize that we will fight to the end without saving our guns this round."

"The coordination between the two gun lines must be done well. If we can take down the enemy as soon as possible, we should quickly launch a second wave of pressure. This way, we will have a chance to defuse the bomb after we send out smoke grenades. If we waste too much of their time, even if we eventually manage to kill the enemy, we won't have time to defuse the bomb."

Li Mo quickly provided further instructions. Because at this stage, the players' mental state is most prone to problems.

Because both sides are currently in a state of high tension and mental strain during the endgame. Therefore, the side that can calmly and steadily make the most rational choices is more likely to gain an initial advantage in gunfights and has a better chance of winning the final round.

In fact, with this wave of utility usage, Na did achieve a surprising effect. From Team A's perspective, they had already secured all the advantageous positions. Even so, Na still had some time to make plays. They desperately needed to find an opportunity to breach the bomb site.

After all, with the C4 planted, the two sides have switched roles in offense and defense. For NA, facing a numerical disadvantage and a poor gun position, their only option is to use utility items to create an opening as soon as possible, and their marksmanship must also be excellent to find an opportunity.

In fact, Team A reacted quite quickly in this exchange, as they anticipated that NA, even after ganking two players, wouldn't choose to save their weapons immediately. After all, NA's economy was already very strong after winning so many rounds in a row. Therefore, they had to be prepared to fight this economically strong NA team to the bitter end.

So, for Team A, once the defending team NA started rotating back and the information became clearer, they began to stock up on utility. In this situation, if they hadn't stocked up on utility beforehand, they would have been at a disadvantage in gunfights against NA's powerful utility, and might even have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

So, with the combined effect of the items from both sides, by the time NA pulled out, Team A's reaction speed was actually quite fast.

After a series of exchanges, Team A lost four players, and all three members of RNA were eliminated. This result is acceptable to both sides. Na, having won several rounds, now holds a significant lead.

In this situation, even if they lose one point, they still have enough economy to sustain themselves in the subsequent rifle rounds. More importantly, in the final clutch stage, they also destroyed 4 rifles belonging to Team A. This means that Team A, who already had a poor economy, will not be able to maintain all 5 rifles in the next round.

For Team A, although losing four guns to NA's counter-attack was a significant blow, given their already strained economy, losing those four guns was a major setback. However, considering the overall situation, they went from struggling to find a breakthrough to managing to stall for time and ultimately win the round, even against NA's aggressive counter-attack. Ultimately, this outcome is acceptable.

"As always, our first priority is to put pressure on the sewers and construction sites, but we shouldn't use too many items. Otherwise, when we move around and speed up later, we'll be at a disadvantage due to a lack of items, and we won't be able to open up the situation on the field."

"After obtaining the information from the opposing team, we'll see if we can shift our position at A site. Judging from the previous rounds, the opposing team hasn't really controlled A site very well; they haven't focused their defense on A site at all."

"So, in this situation, if we can divert the opponent's defensive attention as soon as possible, and then speed up our attack on point A, we have a good chance to easily take control of point A, or even force the players at point A in front to retreat."

Galve truly lives up to his reputation as the absolute core strategist of Team A. In the rounds against NA, although they were constantly on the defensive and trailed significantly, failing to find any good opportunities to narrow the score gap, his thinking remained sharp throughout.

Throughout this process, he constantly pondered the offensive and defensive patterns of both sides. After clarifying these points, he continuously considered how to adjust his own tactics. After calm reflection, he has now discovered a better way to counter NA's defensive strategy.

In his view, the defending side definitely holds a significant advantage on this map, which was even more evident in the match between these two top teams. When playing against NA, you'll find that if they don't engage in strategic maneuvering in the sewers and construction sites, their control of the map is completely unfounded, making them easily pressured by the defending side.

Therefore, in this situation, the necessary choice is to compete with NA for control of key locations, even in the initial default phase or during the acceleration phase. Even if you can't successfully capture key points under the dual pressure of defense and utility, you must still probe for information about the opponent's defense.

From a strategic perspective, galve's approach and ideas were indeed the optimal choice. Because controlling key positions on the field is crucial; the attacking side, already in control and under pressure to plant the C4, absolutely needs to obtain information about these positions.

So Team A had been stuck in a losing streak because they were trying to avoid clashing with NA. But that idea was obviously unrealistic, because as the attacking side, they had to take control of the game, especially gaining control and information on key positions.

Therefore, in this process, it can be said that Team A's growth rate is very fast, especially after watching these two rounds. Team A's head coach and tactical analyst both showed great satisfaction. Although it was extremely difficult for them to score points during this training match, the team's growth was almost visibly rapid. Previously, their understanding of this map was clearly insufficient. Achieving a breakthrough in their own training was already very difficult. However, in the match against NA, they clearly learned a great deal.

Even within the rhythm of the attacking side, they can learn from NA's defensive tactics, and by thinking in reverse, they can understand how to counter the defensive strategy.

In the next round, Team A immediately used smoke grenades to block the sewer area. This would confuse NA, making them unsure whether Team A was planning a rotation, a cutoff, or simply to mislead the defenders in the sewer.

So, after providing the sewer smoke, Na. chose to provide a counter-item as well.

However, what NA didn't expect was that Team A quickly broke through to A site and easily took control of the bomb site after a bomb rush. Shen Miaoxue at the A bomb site was quickly rushed and killed.

In fact, this speed-up was completely unexpected by NA. In their previous encounters, including today's training match on the Death Park map, both sides preferred to play a slow-paced map control game. This is because when top teams play against each other, both sides know each other very well. If you play a fast-paced game, it is easy to expose your weaknesses and let the opponent take advantage of them.

Especially for this map, if you try to rush, and you encounter the double pressure of items and heavy buildings right away, you will basically be completely defeated within 20 seconds of the start of the round, and the outcome of the round is already decided.

However, A's attempt was clearly very successful. They had already learned from Na's defensive positioning habits in previous rounds. Although they were behind at one point, they used this deficit to gain valuable experience, which they could then fully utilize in later rounds.

After successfully eliminating the NA defenders at bomb site A and planting the C4, it's now quite difficult for NA to retake the site in this round. Even disregarding the numerical disadvantage, retaking bomb site A is inherently challenging.

Despite this, the economy was still very good, and Na still made the attempt.

For them, in this situation, especially during training matches, they mostly have to choose to try things out, because trying in training matches doesn't come at any cost. But in an official match, if the same situation occurs and the score is at a significant disadvantage, forcing them to try, it can be very difficult without experience.

It's important to understand that in most cases, both sides need numerous attempts and the accumulation of experience to figure out how to use items effectively during a counter-attack and how to coordinate effectively. Only then can they summarize a good strategy and ensure a higher success rate when defending from an initial disadvantage.

NA's initial bomb-blitz strategy was extremely effective, providing almost complete flashbang coverage of the bomb site. Although Team A opted to be flashed in advance, NA still managed to seize the time and opportunity to respond. In the initial engagement, NA successfully eliminated two members of the defending team.

However, this wasn't enough for NA, because the first wave of items provided them with a significant amount of room to maneuver, and their location was initially unknown. So, after the gunfire was revealed, by the time they tried to find an opportunity to maneuver, the attacking team was already somewhat prepared and able to react.

Team A responded quickly with follow-up shots, and because they hadn't used too many utility items while capturing the bomb site, they still had enough. After responding with their utility, Team A successfully eliminated two members of Team A. After this exchange of kills, Team A is now in a rather troublesome situation.

Because they now only have two people left, while the other side has three, they must find an opportunity in the limited time they have left to kill the enemy and defuse the bomb.

However, despite gaining this advantage, Team A still played the game strategically, not giving Team A many opportunities. They reacted quickly and successfully eliminated Li Mo again. With only one player left, Team A was powerless to turn the tide in this situation and was unable to make any further moves. After trading one kill, they were also eliminated.

For Team A, they are now significantly less pressured than before. Even in scrims, losing scrambled matches would put immense pressure on anyone.
