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

For NA, if they want to conduct a reasonable follow-up visit, then obviously the first thing they need to do is to determine SQ's last place in this round and what their attack direction is.

When Li Mo determined that SQ's initial, and even second, offensive item deployments and the information they provided were all false, this prevented NA from immediately falling into a passive position.

"Can A put some pressure on the other side? Even if we can't get to the front point immediately to accelerate, we should at least put pressure on the enemy at the front point with our utility. Otherwise, if we try to flank them from the side, it will be very difficult to break through their multiple gun attacks."

"They seemed to have a certain warning in their minds. We were suppressed by the enemy's utility at the front position. Moreover, the enemy's utility was distributed in a very disciplined manner. They did not use all the utility they had at the moment, but gave it to us first, which limited our possibility of speeding up. After we used smoke grenades to put out the fire, they gave us smoke grenades to create a barrier."

"Actually, this means that our offense is severely restricted by the opponent, so A site can't provide much help to the bomb site right now."

For NA, after figuring out the general offensive strategy for this round, they have already made their response. After all, everyone on the NA team is now on high alert. They are very clear that with the score difference between the two sides being only one point, both sides have a very good chance of taking the match point. Therefore, the importance of this long rifle round in the entire game is self-evident.

SQ's commander and head coach are both currently in a state of high alert, their minds racing. They're both thinking about how to make the right move in this round given the current situation. Based on the information gathered this morning, it seems that NA has already made some predictions about their tactics for this round. In this situation, if they choose to stick to their previous tactical ideas, they might just be playing right into NA's hands and be exploited.

SQ's commander, in particular, had already sensed something was wrong, even though not much time had passed since the exchange of information on the field.

Logically speaking, the opposing team shouldn't have launched such a strong tactical offensive at A site so quickly, investing so many items. After all, the defending team is on a losing streak, and their economy isn't great. So, if they lacked timing, I wouldn't have had enough confidence to use so many items in the first and second rounds.

"The other side probably hasn't figured out our strategy for this round yet, but judging from their tactical response, they've already put a lot of pressure on us. If we try to force our way through A University again, we're likely to meet them here, or they might launch a counterattack, putting us at a huge disadvantage."

Both SQ and NA poured all their tactical and coordination efforts into this round, as its importance was self-evident. If SQ could regain the lead, they would be able to achieve a balanced score, a situation they definitely wanted to secure.

As for Na, they undoubtedly want to end their losing streak and take the match point they should have had long ago.

However, judging from the tactical situation on both sides, NA actually gained an initial advantage.

After all, Li Mu's side had clearly made very correct preparations in advance after judging the true meaning of the opponent's clothing in this round. Therefore, it would be very difficult for SQ to achieve their tactical deception and ultimately complete their tactical deployment and execution.

Because they failed to take A site immediately, it's very difficult for them to open up the situation through A site in this round and then execute a tactic of flanking A site from the small path. From a top-down perspective, the A site is actually a relatively easy position to set up a defensive formation, especially if the attacking side doesn't have the support of this gunner. Only the people on the A small path can advance and break through, so the defending side doesn't have to spend too much effort or face too much trouble to complete a regular defense.

“From the map, we can see that SQ has obviously made adjustments to their core tactics when their tactics were hindered. After all, we can see from their first engagement that Na controlled A site quite well. In this situation, if they choose to aggressively speed up and break through, they are likely to pay a heavy price.”

"From a positional perspective, SQ should indeed be thinking of ideas. After all, they have now realized that if they maintain their previous tactical preparations and coordination, they may fall into a disadvantage in the early stages of the game."

It must be said that SQ has a very clear mind and excellent analysis in judging the situation. After all, in such a short time, just because A's attack speed was blocked, they judged that na a must have made preparations in advance in this round, and it is very likely that they had already judged that they would occupy the first map as soon as possible.

Therefore, under such circumstances, SQ is very clear that if they maintain their previous strategy of staying in the trees, they are likely to make targeted tactical arrangements against NA throughout the entire process.

Firstly, under these circumstances, SQ reacted quickly. They urgently withdrew their personnel from the small path, because taking point A in this wave was already extremely difficult. Moreover, according to their command analysis, this wave at point A had provided ample warning for the small path. If they made any move, the enemy would immediately exert immense pressure on them with both equipment and weaponry. "We'll directly use the small path position to rotate to the middle and then move closer to point B. Their defense at that point should be relatively weak right now. If we accelerate immediately, they will most likely not be able to withstand our first breakthrough, which means we'll at least be able to succeed. In the following defensive rounds, we'll have more initiative, and it will be more difficult for them to retake the position."

Normally, since NA committed enough players to point A in this round, they obviously couldn't cover point B. Even if they could set up some defensive positions in the middle, they didn't have enough players available to defend point B. Therefore, under these circumstances, the other SQ players believed that retreating from the small path and using a middle-to-B flank tactic was the most reasonable and profitable option.

"When facing NA, we must try to use reverse thinking as much as possible in these very close and extreme situations. In fact, since the opponent can already predict that we will throw out a lot of false information in the early stage and eventually choose the A-small-to-A-slope tactic, then if we do the conventional approach of attacking point B from the middle, the opponent can basically predict that."

Therefore, we cannot focus on such a simplistic battlefield arrangement. This would not only be irresponsible to ourselves, but also a challenge to the enemy's limits in terms of discipline and tactical judgment.

From a God's-eye view, it was indeed a warning given in the mid lane at this point. The two of them chose to hold their positions in unconventional locations. This meant that if SQ's initial attack from the bottom lane didn't go smoothly and they chose to attack from the mid lane instead, they would inevitably be targeted by NA's pre-set triggers. In such a situation, it would be easy for them to be eliminated immediately, since the two holding positions in the mid lane were Li Mo and Zaiwu.

"So what kind of tactical arrangement should we choose? Because we have already spent a lot of time in the early stages, it is now very difficult to give the opponent enough deception and make it difficult for them to judge the direction of our attack."

For the SQ players, apart from their team leader and commander, everyone else is undoubtedly getting anxious. After all, with only 30 seconds left, there's not much time left for them to adjust their offensive rhythm.

Logically speaking, they should be trying to accelerate their attack and break through the bomb site by now. After all, the limited time they have left has a significant impact on the situation. If they try to use complex tactics now, we may not be able to successfully plant the C4, which would mean giving up the match point.

"We'll first take big strides to the mid lane to give the opponent a false signal, then push our strides to their limits, and finally accelerate to the side lane to coordinate with A main for a pincer attack."

SQ's strategist is actually very good at understanding and anticipating the opponent's thought process during the game. Under normal circumstances, both sides will at most make one counter-logical thinking based on the other's logical judgment.

In that instant, the opponent had already judged their initial attack. When SQ made adjustments, they still grasped the key defensive points that na might make in this round. So, after they abandoned their foothold in the middle lane, na would obviously think that they would switch their attack and focus on the middle lane. After all, judging from the previous rounds, SQ had executed their tactics in the middle lane very well.

In previous rounds, SQ primarily initiated attacks from the middle lane. Their use of utility and coordinated attacks put immense pressure on NA's defense. Crucially, once SQ secured control of the first point, their subsequent infiltrations outside the point and unconventional defensive maneuvers exerted significant pressure on NA. Therefore, NA's strategy for anticipating SQ's transition attacks also revolved around the middle lane.

"We can see that the tactics they use here are actually very extreme. Not only did they invest a lot of items in the early stage to create confusion and lure the enemy, but most importantly, after they felt a lot of pressure attacking point A, they did not completely change their strategy. Instead, they gave the mid lane another break. And we can clearly see that their current positioning is still based on their initial idea of ​​flanking point A."

"Right now, there's only somebody at the bomb site, but we can see a breakthrough. They need to cover here. This wave is a huge challenge for NA because their two players inside the site must be able to delay the attackers for as long as possible, or make contact with them as much as possible. This way, their teammates won't face a very difficult situation after they rotate back to defend."

Although the information given by the opposing team in the mid lane was quite clear, and the longer the fight went on, the more nervous they would become, you, I still haven't offered any of your own thoughts. In my opinion, if the opposing team wanted to make a real contribution in the mid lane, they should have launched an attack immediately after giving the item, instead of remaining silent for nine seconds. Keep in mind that in top-tier team fights, even a second can change the rapidly shifting battlefield situation, and nine seconds is a long enough time.

"In the end, SQ chose to return to their position at A short and coordinate with A to launch a pincer attack on the front point they had secured earlier. In terms of positioning, once they chose this tactic, they had an absolute advantage in numbers at the outset. It all depended on whether they could take the bomb site with the least possible cost and eliminate the players at point A."
