Chapter 155 You'll Find Li Mo's Thinking Hard
"Now that the offense and defense have switched sides, SQ must seize the opportunity they have now to gain an advantage in the score. Otherwise, although this game has brought us a very exciting match, SQ, who have performed like a dark horse, will ultimately lose the game."
"That's right, their most important task right now is to find a way, whether it's a tactical approach or a novel strategy to disrupt NA's offensive rhythm and secure the pistol round victory."
Although the score difference wasn't particularly large in the first half, we all know that if they couldn't win the pistol round, NA could easily take a series of points after winning it, which would put immense pressure on SQ.
In the second half, SQ, as the attacking team, actually held the advantage after the transition between offense and defense, but the pressure wasn't relieved much. This is because, as is well known, Na is very good at playing a defensive rhythm. They often anticipate the attacking team's moves, and once their offensive strategy is predicted, their defensive approach can be adjusted accordingly.
Therefore, if the attacker has no idea that the other side can predict their tactical intentions, it could very well be a devastating blow.
"In the pistol round, let's not rush. We should play the default position at the start and see if we can gather more information when the elites engage. If the opponents are playing very cautiously and don't give us any information, we shouldn't rush either. We should try to compress the time to the end and then speed things up."
Before the pistol round even started, SQ's strategy was already very clear. They knew that facing NA, they couldn't just focus on their positional advantages; they needed to consider how to adjust their own offensive rhythm.
So from the beginning, SQ wanted to use an unconventional tactic. By doing so, they could create a stir and test Na's defensive strategy, especially in the pistol round.
They were acutely aware of the crucial importance of this pistol round for the entire second half, especially given their deficit; it was invaluable. Therefore, their decision to employ unconventional tactics in the pistol round was undoubtedly a way to minimize risk and maximize their chances of gaining an advantage.
"The opposing team seems to be taking a tacit approach. They didn't immediately contest A site, nor did they provide any obvious items or information in the mid lane. This puts a lot of pressure on our side."
Although they didn't receive much information from the field at the start, NA actually communicated quickly. Because often, for the defending side, even a lack of information is a form of communication.
From the perspective of the game, if SQ doesn't rush to contest A site or push forward in the middle lane immediately, then from a positional standpoint, they are unlikely to gain control of those two points in this round, unless they gather their forces in the second round.
Otherwise, if they don't try to use their items or speed up their attack immediately, leveraging their numerical advantage to launch a fast break, then once the defending side has penetrated a position, it will undoubtedly be much riskier and more costly for them to try to gain information at the near post or make a breakthrough.
"Give them some items in the mid lane and try to double-push them out to gank their mid lane timing."
After a 30-second initial silence, SQ's commander changed the tactics they had set up in the opening phase. He felt that this initial silence made them somewhat passive. Because NA's positioning was too cautious, it was difficult for them to gather effective information using only standard silences, peeks, and feints.
Therefore, in SQ's view, maintaining the current status quo on the field would only make them more passive as time runs out. Changing tactics and strategies now would not only disrupt the existing balance of power on both sides, but more importantly, it would allow them to find opportunities in the mid-lane and potentially gain an early advantage.
"The two enemy mid laners double-pulled him."
After the flashbang, SQ's double pull was executed perfectly. The two of them, together with the Flash Warrior, directly killed Somebody, who was holding the mid lane. Somebody didn't have much of a chance, since he was alone and facing the coverage of the items and the very fast pull, he didn't have much room to maneuver.
Moreover, his reaction was actually quite quick. After deflecting the flashbang, he regained his aim and even managed to bring one of SQ's players to low health. However, because the opponent's positioning was also excellent, he was unable to aim for a headshot and complete the exchange.
So, with this tactical coordination between SQ in the mid lane, they quickly gained a numerical advantage. From the commentator's perspective, seeing this brilliant double pull in the mid lane, they felt that SQ played very well.
However, simply eliminating na wouldn't give SQ a significant advantage this round, regardless of who's playing. After all, looking at previous rounds, SQ often established a considerable advantage in the early stages.
However, as the game progressed further, especially in the endgame, Na consistently managed to break through using the individual skills of their players. While SQ was well aware of this, they lacked effective countermeasures. Ultimately, the significant difference in individual skill level limited their options considerably.
"Let's put pressure on point B. They're very likely to try to flank the mid lane this time. Tactically speaking, if they've already secured their second-tier units, and they launch a mid-lane flank attack on point B, we don't really have much of a countermeasure."
Seeing somebody in the mid lane get taken down, Li Mu's team was already quite worried, as the importance of the mid lane position is self-evident. However, the opposing team played very cleverly and strategically when engaging in elite combat in the mid lane. They had been probing the mid lane from the start, quickly launching a fireball and then a flashbang in the second wave.
This deceptive tactic successfully distracted somebody. When they finally accelerated in their third wave, the payload, which had already scouted mid, returned to point A. With only one player in mid, facing the enemy's flashbang, a double pull was ineffective. Now that mid was out of control, they had to consider whether point B would be accelerated.
It's important to understand that NA only has Shen Miaoxue at point B. If the opposing team accelerates their attack in this wave, NA will be completely helpless. Even though Shen Miaoxue's individual skills are incredibly impressive, in this situation, she will be greatly limited by items and the number of opponents, and the strength she can unleash will actually be quite limited.
"Don't rush, we'll definitely get through. After we give them a bunch of items, we'll go for stealth, starting from small and moving to A."
After suffering numerous crushing defeats in the endgame in previous rounds, SQ now possesses considerable experience. They are well aware that NA is a team capable of making tactical adjustments very quickly.
So, although the mid lane was out of control in this round, SQ didn't dare to gamble on how many people were at the opponent's location. They knew that if na had two people at point B, their mid-lane flanking tactic could very well be disrupted by the two opponents, and they might even get wiped out.
Therefore, under such circumstances, he undoubtedly made the safest tactical arrangement, which was to create the illusion that they had to make a point to attract the defenders' firepower and make them return to defense, and then quietly make a turn from A short, a position that the opponent would hardly expect. In this way, the defenders' defense would be moved around very frequently, and at this time they would be very likely to gain a greater initiative in the situation.
"Brother Mo, can I rotate with you? We can have one person go through the side path and the other coordinate from the CT position, right?"
Lin Yu, unusually, took the initiative to offer his own analysis and tentative exchange from a tactical perspective, but Li Mo quickly and tactfully rejected his idea.
From the perspective of the battle situation, Li Mo believes that even though all the signs on the other side seem to indicate that the final strategy will revolve around a mid-lane pincer attack, he has to consider whether the other side is still setting up a smokescreen at this point.
After all, if the opposing team still isn't really prepared to attack point B, and instead sends two people back to defend, then if they seize the opportunity and turn their guns to attack point A, their defense at point A will crumble instantly with only one person remaining.
"Don't rush. They haven't fully decided to attack point B yet. So, I'll try to cover from the bottom up, while you and Zaiwu stay at point A, forming an angled firing line. This way, no matter what tactics the enemy chooses, we still maintain an effective defensive position in this endgame and have a chance to win."
After making the final tactical arrangements, Li Mo chose to start from a lower position to try and gather more information. From this position, he could defend as far as possible, clearing the airspace and reaching all the points on the second level.
Even now, he can't accurately analyze SQ's tactical arrangements and ideas. All he can do is try to minimize the risks to their defensive positioning during the upcoming acceleration process.
"To be honest, many times when you're in God's-eye view, you'll wonder if Cobra has X-ray vision or mind-reading abilities. Because we can clearly see that SQ's tactics in this wave were extremely deceptive. I believe that any team in the world, facing this situation, would send a double team to cover point B and the middle lane."
Faced with this situation, Na only sent Cobra to the side path. This means that if SQ doesn't intend to rush B site and instead tries to reach the side path with a single-positioned approach, they are very likely to encounter a direct burst of fire from Cobra.
In fact, the commentator's judgment was completely accurate. In this wave, SQ ultimately chose to go from the middle lane at the first level and then flank through the side path.
So, the moment the three of them appeared in Li Mo's scope at the B1 level, the situation had already changed dramatically. When the two opponents appeared in Li Mo's aiming range almost simultaneously, Li Mo's reaction speed was of course not going to falter. He successfully killed both opponents with a series of precise shots.
It can be said that when the two players on the first floor were taken down at the same time, SQ's commander and head coach both showed a helpless expression on their faces, because they really couldn't understand why Li Mo was in this position, completely blocking all of their space to rotate.
After taking down two opponents in this wave of attacks, SQ's mid laner had mysteriously reached CT's position, but with two more players eliminated, the attack had lost its true significance.
After all, without the unexpected addition of gunfire, if the two SQ players were to approach the CT position, it would be no different from feeding kills to the enemy.
Their mysterious position means that without the help of their teammates, if they don't hand over their items, Ganla will undoubtedly be eliminated. However, once they throw out their items, it means their position will be completely exposed.
