CS: The Last Dance, a Dance That Leads to Professional Success

Chapter 121: Four perspectives can't even form a single Dark!

G2 Lounge

The defeat in the nuclear crisis, as shown in Figure 2, made the atmosphere in the room somewhat somber.

Fortunately, before the second map started, coach XTQZZZ gave them a "precautionary talk," emphasizing that they should play freely in the second map, not have too much pressure, and it wouldn't matter if they lost.

The strategic focus is on securing map one and map three.

This is because the coaching staff and analysts are well aware that the Carry map is currently considered a "pseudo-strong map" for G2.

Although they put in the time to practice and performed well against average teams, it was understandable that they lost to teams like the Little Bees and FaZe, who have a deep understanding of core champions and tactical depth. There's not much to complain about.

With FAZE's proactive map selection, there's only one way for G2 to win!
That means everyone is online and collectively unleashing their potential.

"We actually played quite well as CTs in the first half," Old Ni shook his head, his tone tinged with regret. "If our offense had been better in the second half, and our tactics executed more effectively, we might have had a real chance to drag the game into overtime, or even..."

“My problem,” Aleksib, the commander, took over somewhat apologetically. “The opposing team’s defense was too solid. Several times, my tactical intentions were read in advance by him, and I was countered very badly.”

"I have a problem too," Meng Lang added calmly. "If I could get a few more kills in the second half and step up in the crucial rounds, maybe we'd still have a chance."

His words broke the slightly heavy atmosphere in the lounge, and everyone laughed.

Old Ni chuckled and patted Meng Lang on the back. "Hey! You've got enough kills already! You have the best stats on our side! The rest of us really need to step up our game in the second half! It's true that those who are capable should do more, but we can't let you be worked to death!"

"That's it."

Meng Lang immediately turned his head and said to the old nun with a serious expression, "This time we absolutely disagree!"

The people in the lounge were stunned for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter, even Coach XTQZZZ couldn't help but chuckle.

The old nun was also taken aback.

Then I reacted.

Good guy!
This kid's waiting to mess with me!
Seeing that Meng Lang's words had lifted the team's spirits and prevented them from falling too deeply into despair over losing map two, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he continued the conversation:

"Alright, now that we've lost map two, let's not dwell on it anymore. Let bygones be bygones! The next map, Sand City II, is our home turf! It's time to start our counterattack!"

"Alright!" the G2 members responded in unison, their fighting spirit reignited.

At the same time, in FAZE's lounge.

Although the team went through a tough battle, they finally won the second map, leveling the overall score and boosting their morale.

Just before he was about to go on stage, Karrigan, the eldest cousin, stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and said in a voice full of passion and confidence:
"Alright guys! Listen up! Right now, at this very moment, FAZE is the strongest galactic battleship in the world! NAVI is no match for us, and G2 is even less of a match for us!"

"Now let's send them home cleanly and efficiently, just like we did in Katowice last time!"

Halftime is over.

Soon, amidst the deafening cheers and shouts of countless spectators, both teams finally took to the stage again to face off in the final battle of Map 3.

Figure 3 shows the last remaining map – Scorching Sand City II.

After both players entered the server, they first engaged in a knife fight to determine who would choose sides, as is customary.

FAZE won and gained the right to choose sides first.

As expected, they chose to start on the offensive.

6657 live broadcast room.

"They're back! They're back! The ultimate showdown is here!" Wanji picked up his headphones, seemingly still chewing something, quickly swallowed it, and then took a sip of water before saying, "Guys, I just went to the bathroom and grabbed a bite of food, sorry about that. Okay, enough chit-chat, let's focus on the Antwerp Major semi-finals, G2 vs. FAZE on map three—Dust II! This is a classic map that our domestic audience is very familiar with and loves."

"I analyzed this match before."

Once the machine was in focus, the pre-match analysis began: "FAZE dared to let G2's strong map, Dust2, pass during the second round of bans and picks. This was partly due to their confidence as a super team, with enough star players on their roster. On this map, which tests individual skill and gunplay, they were not afraid of G2 at all. On the other hand, and more importantly, G2's strength on Dust2 lies in Dark. FAZE had ample preparation time, and Big Brother's thick tactical notebook must have contained many tactics specifically designed to limit and counter Dark on this map."

"Alright, let's take a look at the pistol round setups for both sides. This round is FAZE's attacking side starting, and Rain is on fire, buying a P250 out of his own pocket, with the team equipped with two sets of standard utility items."

"What about G2? Oh! This time, the commander, Little Li, chose to give Dark dual Berettas! Although Dark is also very good with the USP, on the Dust2 map, especially when defending B site, he often needs to use this gun to suppress an area by himself. The high rate of fire and ammo capacity of dual pistols in close combat have obvious advantages in this scenario, so this configuration choice is not wrong."

"Let's look at the opening. The attacking team, FAZE, has a default formation of 3B1 in the middle and 1A."

"What about G2? Dark didn't go to B site immediately. Instead, following Little Li's tactical plan, they quickly exited through the middle door and entered B1. Together with Old Ni who came out from A short, they briefly made a show of force on B1, but unfortunately, they didn't see anyone. FAZE is being very cautious."

In this round, FAZE had 3 players going through B tunnel.

However, once inside B tunnel, everyone went silent and remained in place.

They did not immediately make any move that would reveal their intentions; they were very patient.

When the timer was close to 40 seconds.

After the initial setup was completed and most of the information had been gathered, Big Brother immediately gave the order via voice chat, instructing Twistzz, the director of B-site, to fire a flashbang towards point B.

boom--!
The flashbang exploded in area B!

"Here it comes! A classic B-flanking maneuver! The director flashes in! Are they going to speed things up and rush into B? But waiting outside the B door is Dark and his powerful dual pistols!"

The tone became tense as he played with the machine.

"Dark reacted quickly, immediately sealing off B site with a smoke grenade! Is FAZE going to use a second smoke grenade and force their way out? How many kills can Dark manage this time, given the terrain and their dual pistols advantage?"

While we were playing with the machine, I suddenly noticed something was wrong with the minimap and the main view!
"Huh?! Wait! Something's not right! After the director used Flashbang, the trio who had been camping in B tunnel for half a day didn't immediately force their way out of B tunnel! They turned around! They rushed straight from B1 towards the middle lane!"

Broky, who was aiming at mid-to-long range, unleashed a second flashbang!
This is a flashbang from A lane!

Old Ni, who was scouting near A alley, was completely exposed! He could only give up his firing position and throw a grenade in the direction where there might be someone to try to delay them!
But the FAZE trio, like special forces, swiftly jumped from the X box onto the A path and charged forward! Three Glocks instantly apprehended the unable-to-escape NiKo!

FAZE-Twistzz kills G2-NiKo with Glock.

at the same time,

You can also see it on the minimap.
Rain, who was originally harassing outside A gate with a P250, heard the sounds of his teammates moving around A small and knew that the CTs on the other side of A main would be drawn back to defend by the firefight at A small. So he silently sneaked into A gate!

"Oh! I see! This is a 4-1 pincer attack on A! Four players are attacking A short, while one player is simultaneously attacking A long!"

The man playing the machine suddenly realized what was happening and spoke rapidly, “There are a lot of people at A small, they just pulled them out! Little Li, the kid, and my cousin are all on the slope side of A platform, fighting the terrorists who are rushing up from A small! But Rain God’s P250 pulled out directly from A main! My God! G2 is going to be in big trouble this time! They’re caught in the middle by crossfire!”

As expected, the P250's power and range were sufficient to enable Rain God to effectively engage CTs at medium and long range on Platform A.

In an instant, he and his teammates from A Elementary School formed a perfect crossfire.

Platform A was suddenly engulfed in gunfire, with bullets from Glock, USP, and P250 whizzing everywhere.

After a fierce firefight, FAZE only lost Big Brother before successfully clearing Platform A, capturing the bomb site, and having Ropz quickly plant the C4.

At this point, the CT team only had Meng Lang left, who had discovered the trap in the B area and rushed back to defend from the B tunnel and the middle door, but ultimately arrived too late.

What awaited him was a desperate 1v4 situation.

What's even more suffocating is that...
Despite having a four-on-one advantage, FAZE didn't waste any time!
After dropping the bomb, the three surviving members—the director, Ropz, and Broky—immediately found cover and hid.

He didn't actively seek out Meng Lang's location.
I'll just wait quietly for you to unpack it.

Use the safest method
Win this point.

"Huh? This is way too respectful to Dark! Four people against one, treating it like a 4v4 endgame?!"

I was a bit dumbfounded when I started playing with the machine!

"What else is there to say? You get this point right away!"

Meng Lang stealthily crept up from A path, peeking at platform A several times with lightning speed, only to find that the FAZE players weren't revealing any of their positions.
Quietly,

Only the C4 was ticking.

This left him speechless.

From the spectator's perspective, Li Zi shook his head with a wry smile, feeling helpless at this extremely cautious style of play.

With no other option, Meng Lang simply stopped fighting and focused on protecting his armor.

In this situation,
He charged forward with two guns.
Platform A is such a large area, with overlapping firing positions everywhere. Going there is no different from feeding kills.

It's completely meaningless.

Soon, the deafening roar of the C4 bomb exploded, ending the first point of the pistol round.

FAZE takes the first game.

Playing with the machine, I couldn't help but shake my head and analyze: "To be honest, G2 didn't have any major problems in this game. It's just that Big Brother figured them out too well! In the early game, FAZE had people stationed in the mid lane and outside A gate, which looked like they were harassing, but G2 wasn't completely fooled and maintained their defensive formation quite well."

"But the problem lies in the bombing of B site around 40 seconds in. The flashbang and the subsequent commotion would make anyone's first reaction to it be that they're about to speed up the attack on B."

"Unexpectedly, my cousin made a feint, called on the B1 level to speed up to A short, and directly arrested Old Ni who was close to A short. With the help of Rain God who sneaked in from outside the A gate, we instantly completed the pincer attack on A area."

"To put it bluntly, FAZE clearly anticipated this point. G2 would likely give Dark a dual pistols to defend B in the pistol round on Sandy Road 2. So those early moves, including 3B staying put in B tunnel, weren't AFK, but rather waiting for Dark to be unable to hold back and push into B tunnel to get information."

"Looking back now, it's fortunate that Dark played it safe and waited for his teammates to help defend behind B door. He didn't rush forward, otherwise he probably would have been arrested by the three guys in B tunnel long ago."

After saying all this in one breath, Wanji couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that just as I guessed before the match, FAZE really came prepared for today's Dust 2! Their tactics were very targeted!"

On the G2 pitch.

The team quickly recovered from the loss of the pistol round.

They chose to force a comeback in the next minute.

Leonardo DiCaprio was rapidly forming a strategy for a strong comeback in his mind.
Meng Lang suddenly spoke up:

"Li Shen, next time I remember to snipe the bird at A University."

Little Li was taken aback when he heard this.

His initial plan was to have the kid m0NESY use a sniper rifle to gank the mid lane.

Meng Lang is using a Desert Eagle.
After all, in the first picture, his Desert Eagle created an amazing five-kill miracle.

But considering that Meng Lang's sniping skills seemed to have some merit and often produced unexpected results, Little Li hesitated only slightly before decisively nodding: "Okay!"

My cousin also offered, "Then I'll go defend B with an MP9 this round, and you and Niko go to A."

NiKo nodded in agreement.

Soon, the countdown ended, and the game resumed.

"Oh! G2 opted for a double Aegis setup this game! Kid is going mid, and Dark is going to A site! And Dark and his cousin switched defensive positions, teaming up with NiKo to contest control of A site! What do you say about this game? G2's force buy strategy is quite ingenious!" Wanjiji said, looking at both teams' equipment inventory.

The CT's formation in this round is 2-1-2.

The kid sniper guards the middle lane, the cousin uses MP9 to target B, and the little Li Zi provides support in B or roams as needed.

Meng Lang and Lao Ni arrived at University A in their first positions.

Meng Lang fired a self-service flashbang at A site, then aimed his sniper scope directly at A door.

Old Ni used the flash effect to quickly seize the position in Pit A.

The two stood there for about ten seconds. Outside door A, it was quiet; there were no props or footsteps.

Meng Lang immediately reported the information to the commander:
"I haven't seen anyone from University A."

Old Ni immediately said, "I'll go cover A short to prevent them from pushing A short from the middle. Meng, are you sure you can handle A long by yourself?"

Since no one is seen at A, besides being careful of B and the middle lane, A small is also a possible direction to attack.

Meng Lang nodded directly and said, "I have no problem."

6657 live broadcast room.

Analyzing the situation while playing with the machine:
"Old Ni has already retreated to the A short near point, let's take a look at FAZE! FAZE's opening formation is still the default 3B1 mid 1A, the middle door is already blocked by X box smoke. I feel that Big Brother is trying to 'rely on one trick' this round, this round's attack will probably still be an A long A short sandwich A! Because Rain God outside the A gate has already quietly sneaked into the A gate!"

"I have a feeling that if my teammate at A site detonates a bomb, attracting the attention of the CTs at A site, Rain God in A site will be pulled out to launch a pincer attack!"

"But this time, Dark and his AWP are guarding A site! Will he be wary of Rain God's position behind A gate?"

"Oh! A's already detonated his bomb! Flashbangs and smoke grenades have been used! The firefight has begun!"

The sound of playing with the machine is increased.

But at that moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong:
"Hey! Wait! Dark! Dark moved! He didn't go back to platform A, but instead silently pushed towards door A! What's going on? Does he want to take the initiative and clear out the threats inside and outside door A so he won't have to worry about his back?"

The director immediately switched the camera to Meng Lang's first-person perspective.

He was indeed speculating based on his experience playing with the machine.

Since we sense something might be behind us, instead of waiting passively, we should take the initiative and eliminate this potential threat first!

Meng Lang, holding a sniper rifle, silently approached the A door with his scope in.

Just as he was about to approach the entrance of Gate A, the director's camera keenly captured another figure—Rain, the Rain God, who was also quietly sneaking in from outside Gate A!

He was holding a handful of curry!
It has to be said, the Rain God is very thrifty!

Meet on a narrow road!
The two spotted each other almost simultaneously!
Just as Rain God's Curry was about to fire, Meng Lang's sniper rifle crosshair suddenly swung with an almost instinctive reaction speed!
Bang-!
A single shot from a bird sniper rifle accurately struck Rain God in the head!
G2-Dark used an SSG 08 to headshot and kill FAZE-rain.

"Beautiful! Dark! He struck first! He took down Rain God who sneaked into A site with a single shot from the sniper rifle! That was crucial!"

Shouting while playing with the machine.

As Rain God fell, he quickly reported crucial information: "A University! Dark is at A University! He's using a bird sniper rifle!"

At this moment, FAZE's attack was already imminent.

After harassing B passage, their main force moved from B1 level to the middle road and onto A small road.

The second wave of attack items has all been thrown.
There's no going back.

"Go! He only has a sniper rifle, are you afraid of him?!"

My cousin raised an eyebrow and decisively issued the order to launch a strong attack over the voice chat.

6657 live broadcast room.

"Oh! FAZE is charging straight to A short! Old Ni threw a smoke grenade at close range of A short to buy some time!!"

"But FAZE was clearly prepared for this! They immediately used a 's1mple smoke' followed by a flashbang, and the main force forcibly pulled onto the A small platform!"

(S1mple smoke)
"Old Ni has a Desert Eagle! He's smoking by the smoke, trying to get a headshot! Is he headshot? Too bad! He didn't get a headshot. Old Ni hit Broky in the body, but he was finished off by Ropz's AK!"

FAZE-Ropz killed G2-NiKo with an AK-47.

"Where's Dark? Dark has already rushed back to the A platform slope from A site! Old Ni's smoke blast and Desert Eagle smoke stunt bought Dark valuable time to retake the position!"

"Dark has a flashbang, can he stall for time and wait for his teammates? But it seems he's out of flashbangs! He only has one grenade left!"

"Damn it, his location has been locked! This isn't going to be easy!"

"But wait! The sniper rifleman dodged and fired a shot from the A ramp! Such fast movement! But he only hit Ropz's body at the edge of the smoke, and didn't kill him instantly! What a pity!"

"Huh? Dark! What's Dark doing? He's doing Repeek like crazy!"

They exclaimed in surprise again while playing with the machine.

Under the director's camera, Meng Lang, holding a bird sniper rifle, began to repeatedly scope, flick-fire, and retreat from the headshot position on slope A at a dazzling frequency!
boom--!
boom--!
boom--!
The sniper rifle fired again and again. Although not every shot hit the target due to the opponent moving at the edge of the smoke and the player's extreme quick-scoping maneuvers, each shot was extremely threatening. The smoke continuously emitted notifications of FAZE players being shot and losing health!
He was using the bird sniper's mobility to constantly harass and harass the enemy!
He's bleeding FAZE dry!

With the attack time ticking away and the opposing defense coming from the middle and the police spawn, Big Brother knew he had to clear out the holdout on A ramp as soon as possible and completely take over A platform!

He hardened his heart and shouted, "I'll draw the firing line!"

Then he deliberately moved out from the edge of s1mple's smoke, trying to draw Meng Lang's fire and create an opportunity for his teammates to follow up with a shot.

However, he had only taken a few steps out of the smoke!
Ahead at the headshot position on slope A, that ghostly figure flashed out again!

Before the older cousin could even see the crosshair clearly, he heard a crisp "bang" from the sniper rifle!
A burst of blood appeared on his head, and he fell to the ground as his head exploded!

G2-Dark used an SSG 08 to headshot and kill FAZE-karrigan.

"Finish him off! Finish him off!"

The older cousin roared in a death-view perspective.

But the remaining three members of FAZE looked at each other somewhat bewildered.

It wasn't that they didn't want to make up for it, it was just that the swaying figure was too fast. Every Repeek was like lightning, with a very short duration!

Even with the combined perspectives of several people, it's still impossible to piece together a complete picture of Meng Lang!

They even had some doubts about whether this guy actually aimed before firing every time he came out for a Repeek.

However, time waits for no one, and we can't hesitate any longer!
As the smoke from s1mple was about to dissipate, the three Ninjas – Director Broky, Ropz, and others – opted for the most brutal and effective method: a triple pull!
Use your numerical advantage to overwhelm this sniper!
The three of them simultaneously launched an attack on slope A from different directions on platform A!
However, Broky, who was at the forefront, had just spotted the figure on slope A and hadn't even had a chance to fire yet!
His helmet exploded instantly!
Another headshot!
G2-Dark used an SSG 08 to headshot and kill FAZE-Broky.

Immediately afterwards, the distinctive sound of the bird sniper rifle stopped.

The older cousin, who was watching the game, was slightly taken aback, but then immediately reacted and shouted excitedly in the voice chat: "His sniper rifle is out of ammo! Quick! Revive him!"

Actually, he didn't need to shout. HLTV's top stars like Director Twistzz and Ropz had been silently calculating Meng Lang's bullet consumption from the moment he fired his first shot!

Ten shots!

A full ten bird sniper bullets!

He crippled almost all of them!

He also killed his two teammates, Big Brother and Broky!

but now,
His bullets have all gone!
It's time for us to fight back!

The director and Ropz perked up and, like cheetahs, lunged at Meng Lang, who had just made the cut!
If they can quickly eliminate the most dangerous enemy and capture point A, they still have a chance to deal with the upcoming CT retake.

The hearts of FAZE fans at the scene instantly jumped into their throats!

Is there still a chance for this wave?

Live stream room 6657!
Those playing with the machines were exclaiming in surprise:

"Wow—! Dark! He emptied his sniper rifle with ten bullets! That was terrifying, bro! Did you guys see FAZE's perspective? There wasn't even a complete Dark in the perspective of the four people on A site!"

"He's so fast!"

"But we're out of bullets now, and the director and Ropz just came right up to us and double-teamed us!"

"Dark, do you want to switch to your pistol?"

"He sliced...what? He sliced ​​out a grenade?!"

The man playing with the machine suddenly widened his eyes, his voice filled with disbelief!

The instant Meng Lang finished firing his sniper rifle, he switched to the only high-explosive grenade he had left!
He threw the grenade with a backhand motion!
Simple geometry comes into play here!

The grenade traced a precise parabola through the air, struck the wall at the edge of platform A, and then bounced off...

Boom——! ! !
The grenade is above slope A!

The director and Ropz's faces exploded with excitement as they were double-pushed in the face!
The flames and smoke instantly engulfed that small area!

In the next instant, the director and Ropz, who had leaped out from the left and right sides of the A University platform, intending to overpower Meng Lang, also stared wide-eyed in astonishment amidst the flames of the explosion!
They never expected that...
The answer given by the other party in a desperate situation
It's not a bullet.

It was a calculated grenade!
Meng Lang's sniper rifle had already bleed them out with so many shots, and the two of them had already been hit by Meng Lang's sniper rifle at S1mple's smoke screen, with their health already in the thirties. Not to mention this time they directly took a big grenade face-to-face!
in an instant,
Both of their health bars were instantly depleted!
The body tilted to one side,
They were blown away, one to the left and one to the right!
G2-Dark killed FAZE-Twistzz with a grenade.

G2-Dark killed FAZE-Ropz with a grenade.

One lightning strike, two kills!
Pentakill!

ACE!

The moment he stepped off his gaming chair, he excitedly stood up, leaned forward, and brought his voice close to the microphone, unleashing a deafening, high-pitched, bubbly sound:
"Wow!!! Dark! He did it!"

"He pulled off the impossible 1v4! Ten shots from the sniper rifle bleed them both out, headshot them both! The last grenade wiped them out!"

"The aftershock of the 'glorious bomb' he fired at himself in Figure 2 seemed to travel through time and space, directly blasting into Figure 3! It shattered FAZE's meticulously planned attack! It also pierced through the armor of the Galactic Battleship!"

This unexpected scene plunged the entire Antwerp Sportpaleis Arena into a brief silence, followed by a deafening roar that could have blown off the roof!
"OMG!"

"Holy shit!"

"What kind of grenade is this?"

"."

As for the FAZE Galacticos fans at the scene who were just on tenterhooks...

this moment,
They all died in an instant.
