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

Chapter 39: Well done! Here's a little bee as a reward!

Led by Niko, the G2 team walked through the slightly noisy studio and headed towards the Liquid booths across the street.

At that moment, other teams were also playing matches simultaneously in the studio.

Among them is the match between EG and COL in the 0-1 group – COL is the team that was crushed by the Little Bees with a score of 16:1 yesterday.

But today, EG and COL not only played a close game, but the score in the upper right corner of the screen clearly showed [18:17], and it looked like they were about to go into a second overtime.

At this moment, Coach COL called out the final timeout and began to passionately explain the tactics.

At the EG match booth.

2K subconsciously released the mouse, stretched his slightly sore wrist, and his gaze unconsciously swept across the studio.

suddenly,

His gaze froze.

A group of people wearing G2 jerseys were walking past their playing area not far from their bench.

His gaze quickly locked onto the figure in the crowd—standing at 1.9 meters tall, he stood out among the generally not-so-tall esports players. G2's team uniform outlined his broad shoulders and upright figure, and one could vaguely see the well-proportioned and powerful muscle lines under the fabric.

Hands casually in pockets,

There is an indescribable feeling.

It's him!

Dark!

rash!

2K was completely stunned.

G2's match... is it over?

Didn't their match against Liquid start around the same time as ours?
It might even be a little later!
and many more!

They're heading in that direction... to shake hands?!

They won?!
They beat Liquid, who were ninth in the world last year?! And it looks like a quick victory!

Some of the more oblivious 2K players suddenly realized what was happening.

what does this mean?
This means G2 has won two consecutive games and advanced to the 2-0 group!

This means that the "fellow villager" he personally kicked out of the team and mocked on social media is only one BO3 away from the Major Legends Group...

Meanwhile, EG is still locked in a fierce battle with COL, who were ganked by the Little Bees yesterday, in the second overtime. They are fighting tooth and nail for a precious 1-1 group spot, and their future is uncertain!
Fake!

2K suddenly felt a strange tightness in his chest.

Of course, if he knew right now what kind of outrageous, generational stats Meng Lang put up against Liquid, who were ranked ninth in the world last year, today.

I'm afraid my blood pressure would spike on the spot and I'd spit a mouthful of blood onto the screen!
At this time,
The studio director's camera was also following the G2 team as they went to the Liquid's seating area to shake hands.

Suddenly, in the lower right corner of the screen, 2K, who was staring blankly at Meng Lang in the EG booth, accidentally entered the frame.

Upon seeing this, the director immediately gave it a close-up shot.

then,

On one side of the screen is Meng Lang, hands in his pockets, who has just won a resounding victory and is heading towards his next opponent in high spirits.

On the other side of the screen is 2K, deeply embroiled in overtime, staring at Meng Lang with a complex mix of emotions.

Connecting the past grievances and affections between the two,
In this situation, the intense "sting" of the camera suddenly came over him—even the director thought he was a genius!
Live stream room 6657
The commentator, who had just finished his passionate commentary, also saw this shot coming from the English stream and immediately laughed, jokingly remarking:

"Oh? It seems 2K also noticed that G2 has finished their game and called it a day. Wow, his expression... he looks really upset."

"But it's okay, buddy."

Playing with the machine, he chuckled and teased, "You might have an even harder time later. I feel that after COL's pause, EG will most likely be dragged into a second overtime. These two god-like teams are evenly matched today, and it looks like the game won't be decided until three overtimes."

The live stream chat exploded with comments, filled with a joyful atmosphere:
"Hilarious! I took a screenshot of that banana-man's face with that fan-shaped statistical chart expression!"

2K: Wait, what happened to the promise of everything becoming visible? How come you're already 2-0?

"Haha, this Major director is hilarious! He's still giving us close-ups!"

"."

Antwerp Major Studio.

Unaware of all this, the G2 team arrived at Liquid's booth.

The post-match handshake will be conducted as is customary.

Niko first shook hands with Liquid's commander nitr0, then moved on to the next person and shook hands with EliGE.

"Well played, Niko."

EliGE's voice carried a hint of weariness, but she still maintained her composure.

Losing this BO1 and dropping from 1-0 to the 1-1 group means their path to the next round will be even more difficult, which makes him somewhat unwilling.

"You guys too, it was a great match," Niko replied with a smile.

The two let go of each other's hands, and EliGE's gaze naturally fell on the figure behind Niko—Meng Lang.

Looking at the sunny-faced, upright young man from the East, EliGE couldn't help but recall the hellish town that had just ended.

To be honest, as his opponent, he could clearly sense that Meng Lang's understanding and proficiency with this map weren't very good. Some details and default map control still showed signs of unfamiliarity.

but!

That's the kind of guy he is.
He managed to pull off an incredible five-kill ECO comeback with the Desert Eagle, followed by multiple AK sweeps and close-quarters combat with dual pistols that seemed to be firing at an auto-clicker, racking up a terrifying statistic of 27 kills and 6 deaths!
The crucial point is that his hand was wrapped in bandages.

This was completely different from the Dark he remembered when they faced off against Blast, who mainly played the sniper role but seemed to struggle a bit!
Is it really possible for someone to "evolve" like this?
What about people?

EliGE paused for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on her face.

If you lose, you lose.

27/6!

They've already killed so many people.

Still not winning?
That's really unreasonable.

To put it bluntly, if he could kill like that as a rifleman, he could win.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Meng Lang and said sincerely, "You played very well, Dark! You were amazing today."

Meng Lang also reached out and shook hands with the man who had almost ended his career with a "randomly trajectoryd" AK bullet.

After winning the match, all the frustration and resentment he had accumulated in his heart vanished. He smiled and replied, "Thank you, you're very strong too."

EliGE chuckled and continued, "See you in the Legends group sometime, but you won't have it so easy to win next time."

Upon hearing this, Meng Lang blinked and said, "Okay, then I'll go wait for you in the Legendary Group."

Upon hearing this, EliGE was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.

This guy……

So confident.

However, EliGE had a good personality and genuinely admired this outstanding junior, so he ultimately smiled and nodded.

"Alright! It's a deal then, see you in the Legends group."

After the handshake ended and the others packed up their things, the host handed the microphone to Niko, who had also performed exceptionally well in the match, for today's post-match interview.

"First of all, congratulations to G2 for another great victory today, successfully advancing to the 2-0 group! Niko, is there anything you'd like to say right now?"

Niko, hands on his hips, swaying his body, a broad smile on his face, stroked his beard, and spoke into the microphone:

"First of all, I want to thank my teammates. Everyone played exceptionally well, which is why we were able to win this game. Of course, I must give special thanks to Dark. His performance today was particularly outstanding. He repeatedly broke through in crucial clutch situations, pulling us back from the brink of defeat. I think a truly strong team needs players like him. I am now very certain that Dark is the perfect piece of the puzzle we have been looking for!"

The host then followed up by asking, "It seems you're very satisfied with Dark's adaptation. So, after this Major, will G2 consider officially signing Dark?"

Niko shrugged, slightly wiggling her shrimp body, her smile widening:
"Why not? I personally like him a lot, but the specific contract issues will depend on the club's subsequent evaluation and the results of the matches. Of course, the most important thing is Dark's own wishes."

The host pressed further: "Dark's performance these past two days has been truly amazing. We know that he initially filled in for Jackz in the support role when he joined the team. Will there be any positional adjustments in the team later? For example, will you make him more of a core damage dealer?"

Niko shook his head: "Well... this involves our subsequent tactical arrangements, so it's not convenient to reveal too much. But I can say that if necessary, I will communicate with the coaching staff to try to get Dark into the position he feels most comfortable in."

While playing with the machine translator during the interview, I couldn't help but laugh at this point: "Brothers, did you hear that? This is the kind of prestige Heishen has! He's really bringing honor to CNCS! Seriously, I'm not going to jinx him anymore. I just hope Heishen doesn't falter in the later matches of this Major."

"Tsk tsk! Brother Shrimp truly loves Dark!"

"Putting everything else aside, who wouldn't love that Desert Eagle pentakill comeback today?"

“Every time Brother Xia looks at Dark, it feels like he’s looking at his younger self; his gaze is almost drooling.”

"Stop bragging. When Black ÷ learns from Shrimp Bro and falters in crucial games, let's see if he still can't pull off the 'silver sac'."

"."

Amidst the heated discussions, Meng Lang's team, after winning against Liquid and finishing their interview with Niko, returned to their hotel by car.

Next up is a recap of today's match.

Although they won, and won by a large margin of 16-3, Game 2 still made quite a few mistakes today.

Don't say anything else,

We need to thoroughly review just the pistol round.

In the second half pistol round, if Meng Lang hadn't swept three opponents with two pistols, they would have lost that pistol round and wouldn't have been able to win so easily afterwards.

Today, Meng Lang was able to save the day against Liquid with his individual skill, but what about the other teams they will face later?

Major events

Each step reveals a new level.

Leaving aside the highly ranked Legendary Group, even the next round of the 2-0 group qualifying matches will be significantly more intense than the previous ones.

have to say,

XTQZZZ is quite visionary.

In the evening, after all the matches of the day were over, the four teams with a 2-0 record were revealed – G2, forZe, ENCE, and Little Bee.

G2's opponent in the next BO3 qualifying round.

Not someone else,

It was that little bee who once again crushed Team A with a 16-7 victory today!
