CS: What does it mean to become Jiahao and then kill indiscriminately?

Even though NiP's peak dates back many years, this club is a long-established name in the CS world and a flagship of Swedish CS.

Even though the players have changed batch after batch, just looking at the team logo, you still get the illusion that this team is a top-tier team.

Right now.

The fig leaf has been torn off.

They're just food.

Except for Rez, whose stats remained at or above normal levels, the other four were completely out of their minds and had forgotten everything else.

LVG's players are capable of holding their own against NiP's players in gunfights. Combined with Wan Kaizhao's control on certain maps, it's like having a small, impenetrable area or even a jump into the central area.

NiP's attack was completely dismantled. Before their strongest defensive strategy could even begin, they lost the pistol round, and no matter how well they defended, they couldn't score consecutive points.

13: 4.

The first map shattered NiP's pride as a European team.

This accelerated Rez's idea.

No one wants to leave the team they've served for eight years, but as players, their goal is to compete at the highest level. Clearly, NiP no longer deserves to stand on that highest stage.

The second map leads to Sand Dune II.

The LVG team players felt right at home, and this map, which is essentially a sniper map, gave Sanye's sniper rifle the best stage to shine.

Following their 13-4 victory on the first map, LVG scored 13-6 on this second map, Sand City.

Two crushing victories by a large margin.

Their finishing efficiency surpassed that of NAVI, who started the competition at the same time.

At first, people thought that LVG's rise was just a flash in the pan, until NiP was speedrun in 30 minutes and crushed the game as a slowdown.

Everyone finally realized that LVG's first win was no joke.

NiP's commander, Alex, sat slumped in front of his computer desk, unsure of what to say.

Simply by shooting, you can't win.

The only player who can be replaced is Rez, who wants to leave the team.

Playing on the machine and watching the game footage left me wanting more.

"What the heck? LVG changed two players, how did they suddenly become so different?"

He came to stream today looking great, and LVG's match was scheduled for the first round, so I was planning to enjoy watching it.

The problem is, you only had half an hour of fun before you were done?

Damn it, refund my ticket!

On one hand, they are afraid that if the game goes on for too long, LVG will not be able to beat NiP; on the other hand, they complain that the game is going too fast and they are not satisfied with watching it.

That's how life changes.

When the team is weak, they complain that it's not strong enough; when it's strong, they feel it's too dazzling and disappointing. Commentating on such a one-sided match is just pointless.

The machine started playing a match between NAVI and X Team when it turned around; the two teams started the match at the same time.

NAVI is mercilessly beating Team X.

Since Snake and Rat betrayed Cadian and left the team, Snake and Rat quickly left Team X to join Team A, and Team X, which was originally the second-best team in Denmark, began to rebuild.

With kyxsan, the top player in North Macedonia, in charge, and the addition of Israeli free agent Netrz, along with the original X team duo, Teses and sjuush, they brought in Degster, the man who loves to rest most in the CIS.

In terms of individual strength on paper, Team X is not only not weak, but can even be considered one of the top teams in this ESL tournament.

The problem is that, apart from Sjuush, who is relatively consistent, the rest of Team X are all unpredictable.

Brother Long can transform from a dragon into a maggot in an instant.

Degster, nicknamed "Papa Bear," doesn't like to train and often misses scrims, while Netrz, on the other hand, has good professional skills and can deliver good stats and individual performances no matter which team he joins.

But this person has many ideas.

I often get lost while walking around.

No matter how strong the individual abilities of this hastily assembled X team are, it cannot hide the fact that they are a team of gun-wielding soldiers.

When faced with a tactical academy like NAVI, they are easily crushed.

Everyone thought NAVI had lost to LVG and that they weren't in good form.

Given X's stats and theoretical strength, beating the currently struggling NAVI shouldn't be a problem.

But NAVI remained silent, simply relentlessly beating up the X team that had been favored before the match.

After being thrashed by LVG ​​in the previous match, jL seemed to have a second wind in this game. Not to mention rifles, even Eco's Desert Eagle was getting headshots every time.

They completely shut down Team X.

Both sides are now tied at 2-0.

Even winning a match seems to be a competitive effort.

However, LVG crushed them too quickly, and X's overall strength was still stronger than NiP's.

NAVI's 2-0 lead took some time to build.

With this match over, LVG has advanced to the winners' bracket final in the upper bracket, securing their advancement regardless of the outcome.

Therefore, the pressure is not very high.

Their next opponent is very likely to be the Turkish thugs, the European Gunners team led by XANTARES.

Gum had prepared in advance.

NiP's performance in scrims has been consistently poor, and with the ongoing tensions surrounding Rez's potential departure within the team, Gum's primary focus was on studying Eternal Flame, who was also performing exceptionally well in the upper bracket.

This is really going to be tough.

NAVI's tactics are predictable; you can study their demos and develop counter-tactics.

Eternal Flame's tactic is to create gunfight environments, placing all the stakes on gunfights.

Once the game gets to the point of gunfights, they have a significant psychological advantage.

What Eternal Flame fears most is being suppressed by tactics and equipment, leaving them no opportunity to engage in gunfights. One after another, they are shot to the side or back, and are completely outmaneuvered by their opponents.

LVG happens to be a team that wants to transform into an academic style, but so far it still wins by relying on brute force.

If the teams have similar attributes, then it's a gunfight competition.

Despite winning the match, the LVG players remained in high spirits and were extremely excited.

Seeing Wan Kaizhao's nonchalant expression, Xigua couldn't help but ask, "Hey, we advanced to the winners' group with a 2-0 victory. The outcome of the next match will guarantee us a spot in the top 16. Why aren't you reacting at all?"

"Making it to the top 16 means there are still 15 teams on the same level as us. If we want to enter the main venue, we have to fight our way to the top 8."

"Besides, the top 16 in ESL doesn't really have much prestige, does it?" Wan Kaizhao couldn't help but retort. "Even the runner-up isn't remembered, so what's there to be happy about in the top 16?"

"It's like the Chinese national football team."

"No, no, no! The national football team didn't even qualify for the group stage, we at least have a spot!" Xigua couldn't help but retort, but Wan Kaizhao's words made it clear.

He suddenly realized that the top 16 didn't mean much.

If you raise your expectations a bit, even the watermelon won't know what it's so happy about.

"Wan Kaizhao, ESL officials want to interview you and are asking if you'd be willing," Gum's voice came from the direction of the referee.

It's clear that ESL officials are in talks with Gum about an interview.

Wan Kaizhao's performance in these two matches was truly amazing. In addition, there were only a few matches, with only four maps played in the two matches, which resulted in Wan Kaizhao achieving exceptionally high stats.

In his first match against NAVI, he delivered a life-game performance with a stunning 2.29 rating. In his second match against NiP, he dominated the low-skilled teams. After four matches, Wan Kaizhao not only topped the ESL player statistics charts but also held a commanding lead.

He dominates the top spot with a rating of 2.17. In the same half of the bracket, his next opponent, XANTARES, the toughest player from Turkey, only has a rating of 1.3.

This is equivalent to the combined strength of two ruthless Turkish figures.

This guy is a ruthless Turkish!

XANTARES-Peek, who can be called out from the ranked ladder to the competition, is an aiming monster who can consistently deliver insanely high-level rifle shots.

Which TV host wouldn't want to interview such a prodigy who has suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
