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

"Actually, choosing to have 4 people save their guns is definitely a wise choice for Team A. From our perspective, we can see that after Na gained control of the bomb site, they have seized the advantage of the CT front point. If Team A still chooses to make an attempt when they lack utility, they will be facing Na's impenetrable defense."

"That's right. More importantly, if all their spears are destroyed, then in the next round, the possibility of them turning the tide is relatively small, judging from the current offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides."

In fact, it's clear from this round that, in terms of their current state, NA has obviously gotten into their preferred rhythm earlier.

As is well known, once Na gains an advantage, they exert tremendous pressure, especially on the offensive side. Their variations in tempo and their overall disciplined attack make it very difficult for opponents to gather valuable information.

Once again in a round without any economy, Team A didn't try to force a purchase of weapons as they had in previous rounds. They believed that if they couldn't control NA's offensive rhythm and pressure, any forced purchases would be ineffective.

"We must play more proactively. In the early stages, whether we have some advantageous positions, we should take the initiative to gain information by jumping, peeking, and using utility. This way, when facing the opponent's offensive rhythm, we can take effective measures based on the information we have."

The score gap is widening step by step, so Team A now needs to consider making more proactive attempts on the defensive end.

Judging from the previous rounds, they didn't have many outstanding defensive plays. They played like they did in previous training matches and games, focusing more on perfecting their routine defense to adapt to NA's ever-changing rhythm.

In these few rounds, it's clear that simply giving up defensive space will only allow NA to thrive on offense.

"I'll go check out the location on the second floor, then you guys in the mid lane will apply pressure with items and get information. If possible, I'll go forward to scout points regularly."

For Team A, since they are facing NA in a rifle round this time, and with no guns and few throwable items, they can definitely make some unconventional and proactive attempts.

It can be said that in the previous rounds, from the opening stage to the round they lost, they were unable to obtain any useful information, so they must make a bold attempt in this round.

More importantly, as seen in the previous rounds, NA, as the attacking side, initially attempted to launch an offensive from the mid lane. In this situation, it is undoubtedly crucial for both sides to contest information and positions in the mid lane.

Therefore, without incurring significant costs in this round, Team A's players proactively sought to open up opportunities from the middle lane and A2 building, hoping to break the defensive rhythm.

Therefore, considering this situation, Na's offensive strategy in this round is crucial for Team A. If Team A anticipates their offensive rhythm and follows the same pattern as previous rounds, then this round will undoubtedly put them under greater pressure.

"Let's get information on the middle lane first. I feel like they'll be pushing forward unconventionally in the middle lane, A2, or even B point this round, trying to disrupt our offensive rhythm. So, in this situation, we need to control the map from the start and avoid reckless attacks."

Because if we get caught out at the start of the game, the opponent can easily use their advantage in close-quarters pistol combat to create openings.

Without a doubt, in Li Mo's view, the opponent is likely to make some very expensive attempts this round. After all, after these few rounds of failure, the opponent must have basically figured out their strategy for accelerating the mid lane and building a core breakthrough in the mid lane.

Therefore, when facing top teams like these, you absolutely cannot reuse the same tactics. If you don't change your tactics, your opponent can easily figure it out. Once they anticipate your offensive strategy, the defense can counter it, which will be a major headache for the attacker. If they are countered, the defense will undoubtedly have more initiative.

"They pushed forward unconventionally in the middle and A2 buildings this round, and provided utility immediately. So if we try to break through the middle again this round, they might seize the opportunity when we engage in close-quarters firefights on the offensive side, and then look for opportunities to engage us in gunfights."

The biggest difference between Team A and SQ, which NA faced yesterday, lies in their completely different playstyles. If SQ was an extremely disciplined and calm team from start to finish, then Team A, even when in a gunfight with NA, never feared engaging in gunfights. After all, their players' individual skills are undoubtedly top-notch. More importantly, they have been increasing the intensity of their training over the past six months.

Although they believe that their players' individual abilities and overall strength are not much weaker than NA's, in order to bridge the gap and make their team an invincible powerhouse, each player has made great efforts.

"Try to make some noise at point B first, see if we can attract their immediate deployment of utility, or better yet, try to reposition their defenders. If we can hold one of them back at point B, then we can launch a pincer attack down the middle. In terms of firepower, utility, and numbers, they'll have a hard time holding on." Undoubtedly, the opponent is significantly lacking in firepower this round. While this targeted tactic has somewhat limited NA, preventing them from achieving their initial acceleration and quickly securing their strategic objectives as smoothly as before, they've clearly fallen short in this round.

However, judging from this round, under such great pressure, it is impossible not to deal with the changes in the pace of the attack. So, after receiving the information, they must consider whether their side will be accelerated and broken through.

If they change their defensive positions and make adjustments, then NA will obviously have a good chance to seize that opportunity and unleash their true offensive intentions.

"We saw that after NA made a fake breakthrough on the banana lane, it put a lot of pressure on Team A. Faced with such pressure in terms of utility and information, Team A could only send one person to the CT position to defend immediately."

Moreover, it's clear that Team A hesitated somewhat when they first made this decision. Their initial instinct was probably to send two players back to defend point B. After all, the pressure from NA's accelerated breakthroughs had been incredibly painful for them, so they had to respond to the pressure of a fast-paced defensive push after the acceleration.

However, we see that they ultimately chose to send one person back from the CT position to retake B site. This shows they still wanted to maintain control of the overall situation. We know that if both of them went back from the CT position to defend B site, their defense of A2 in the middle would be completely exposed. In that case, taking control of the middle and A2, and ultimately the entire A site, would be extremely difficult.

From a positional perspective, after making adjustments, Team A is unable to effectively defend against the increased speed at point B. They can only attempt some tentative trades within the point.

It's clear that their assessment in this round, at least so far, is that NA's speed boost and item information regarding the banana lane are merely a deceptive illusion. Their true intention is likely to focus on the mid lane.

From the beginning of the game until now, Na has given a lot of false information on the field. However, even though Team A has experienced a losing streak, they have maintained a very strong ability to think independently. They have not been misled by the different false and misleading information given on the field and have still made many judgments.

Team A still controls the mid lane, which means that if Team A wants to gank the mid lane, they will have to pay a price.

"Their defense at point B should have involved some personnel, but we might still face some pressure in the middle and near A2. So, we absolutely shouldn't be stingy with our utility. We should use it at the necessary points before engaging in close-range positioning and firing. If the enemy doesn't have any weapons, we actually have a significant advantage this round. Therefore, we need to be confident when engaging in gunfights and not avoid them by overthinking."

Li Mu could actually guess that the opponent wouldn't be completely unable to figure out their general attack strategy in this round despite the two waves of misleading information and items he had given them. Therefore, under such circumstances, he still maintained an advanced strategic approach.

He believes that attacking point B now might not be very effective, since the opponent has a significant advantage in position and information at point B. If they force a breakthrough and the opponent manages to get kills, it would be a significant loss for them.

Therefore, if they proceed with their attack from the middle lane in a methodical manner, the opponent will face considerable pressure on the defensive end. Moreover, their breakthroughs in the middle lane are progressing smoothly, and the players' understanding and use of positions and items are quite accurate. Under these circumstances, continuing to break through the middle lane is likely the best tactical option for them.

"So, we can see that NA is ultimately going to attack the middle lane, and they already have their items ready. But we can see that Team A should have had enough warning about their current defensive positioning and should know that NA is going to break through the middle lane. If NA doesn't react in time, they may pay a heavy price upfront, because we can see that they are positioned very densely, and in the event of a concentrated fire, pistols can be very effective."

"Na also opted to speed up, but we saw that after they used their utility, Team A reacted very quickly, simultaneously providing counter-utilities. Moreover, the crossfire from both sides immediately destroyed the vehicle, so now Na is actually at a disadvantage in terms of numbers in the middle lane. Furthermore, the opponent also applied enough pressure to the second floor in the second wave, preventing them from coming down to coordinate their fire."

After taking down one of NA's players, Team A is now under less pressure. Although they can't get their hands on the rifle in the short term, they can still put considerable pressure on NA from a very close distance in the middle lane with their pistols.

More importantly, after they restricted the position on the second floor, it became easier for Team A to block NA's attack time. Most importantly, both sides are now entangled in the middle lane.

In this situation, Na still has time to choose a rotation point, but they don't want to easily give the enemy the long gun in the middle. So, under these circumstances, they are still prepared to force a breakthrough in the middle, because once they go to point B, all their information will be given to the enemy, and the enemy will quickly rotate back to defend.
