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

The microphones at LVG were filled with cheers.

As a professional player, anyone can see the immense value of those two shots. But the problem is, this wasn't a ranked match or a practice game; it was an ESL League group stage match, on the stage of an official competition.

It's remarkable that a professional player with absolutely no competition experience could calmly dismantle a difficult situation against five members of the NAVI championship team who had won a Major.

Even GUM couldn't hide his surprise.

But in the next round, NAVI went for a force buy, and Big B, wielding an M4A1, pushed forward through the middle and fired a shot with a sniper rifle. The shot didn't miss and took down Bit's health.

In front of the camera.

Bit remained expressionless, but it was clear he was quite annoyed by the gunshot.

Because the mid lane was flashed, the attacking team that had crossed the small oil barrel point couldn't come out. Only the three leaves in the dark passage could fight, giving Bit a chance to retreat.

Two police officers from Elementary School A came out together to cover Bit's retreat.

Wan Kaizhao pulled Bit out of A-Small and fired a burst of smoke, but failed to finish him off. However, when two police officers from A-Small came out to finish him off, one of them was taken away by Wan Kaizhao's spray.

Originally, Little Li wanted to finish off the enemy, but upon hearing that the enemy's firepower was not diminishing at all, and worried that Mitsuha from the secret passage would also come out, Little Li had no choice but to run back to avoid causing greater losses.

Wan Kaizhao secured map control of the mid lane and immediately crouched down, watching the mid lane while pushing towards A short. His three teammates from A long had already emerged, and the continuous flashes of light were practically an open signal to NAVI, telling them their attack direction.

However! The long-range rifle advantage gained from winning the pistol round gives LVG a lot of room for gunfights.

In the middle lane, Wan Kaizhao cut off jL who was trying to rotate back to defend, and Bit, with his low health and M4A1, was not good at covering the position. After IM and Xiao Lizi fell one after another at the A site bomb site, Bit chose to save his weapon at the B site.

Wan Kaizhao didn't give Bit a chance to save his weapon; he was already advancing towards point B when planting the bomb.

"Bang bang—"

Bit, who was hiding in the sniper position at point B, shot Wan Kaizhao in the head from the window at point B, but Wan Kaizhao retaliated and took him down with a single shot as well.

"Wow, Big B! Even with a sliver of health, you're not to be underestimated, but... this young LVG player is just too explosive! He got a pistol round clutch right from the start, and he's already got 6 kills in just two rounds. These are incredibly valuable kills. He got the breakthrough and the clutch, especially since this was actually a force buy round for NAVI."

"I'm most afraid of playing against the opponent in eco rounds and force buy rounds, because it's too easy to get turned around, too easy to get turned around! Fortunately, we didn't get turned around this time."

"We've already secured two points against NAVI!"

"This is a great start."

Meanwhile, the CSBOY livestream room next door also became incredibly exciting.

"Oh my, not bad. It seems like LVG has found a gem this time. This young player's marksmanship looks very steady." Ma Xixi rarely gave a compliment. He often couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks when facing Chinese teams.

Because when you watch the Chinese team play, it's hard not to get high blood pressure, especially when they often lose when they have more players than you. You can't really criticize them directly, so you can only make a few sarcastic remarks.

"The gun is very stable, but it will still be difficult to beat NAVI unless LVG's gunplay can continue to be amazing." Veteran captain MO couldn't help but comment: "In this wave in the middle, it was mainly because Sanye's sniper rifle was held very well. Basically, he secured map control in the middle, which gave the flank players a chance to go out. But this sweeping rotation was really terrifying. The crosshair was in the middle, but it was directly rotated to A short and killed WDF who was trying to take a look."

"WDF didn't seem to be in great shape today. Hopefully, he can keep it up."

"MO, that's a bit much!"

"There's nothing we can do. When we play against world-class teams like this, we can only hope that their form isn't good. After all, NAVI is a Major champion, although their recent form has been so-so. But LVG is even worse."

As soon as MO finished speaking, Ma Xixi fell silent.

Recent tactical changes and the Yellow River Battleship's defeat in the competition have given CNCS's top three teams a feeling of falling apart. This split has almost destroyed two of them.

"This is the third game, a pure E round. To be honest, I'm most afraid of these kinds of rounds. I hope I can hold on."

In the third round, Watermelon called out the safest tactic: use Flashbang to rush out of A site and push forward with the advantage of long-range rifles.

This tactic is simple and effective. Against NAVI, who have been disarmed, it is almost impossible for five USPs to hold A site.

The three points were taken in an instant.

The 3-0 start sparked a flurry of comments on the live stream.

But the real challenge is in rifle rounds.

Mitsuha discarded the sniper rifle and switched to a large sniper rifle.

This time, Xigua called for the A-target attack strategy again and had Wan Kaizhao join the team.

They grouped up to finish off the attackers.

Without a specific strategy, the most practical and easiest tactic for the new lineup to win is...

Without A's pincer attack, LVG would collapse if they failed to secure a kill. However, Wan Kaizhao, having just joined the team, has no reason to question Commander Call's tactics.

If you listen to instructions and still lose, it's a problem with the command.

If you don't listen and lose, that's your problem.

Right from the start, A site was easily controlled, and Z4kr jumped into the pit at A site and successfully secured a sniping advantage position.

Xiao Li asked his teammates for a flashbang and went out to engage in a gunfight, but was immediately killed by Z4kr. The other four riflemen were pushed to the middle of the road, but Xigua told them to hold back and told Wan Kaizhao, who was in the lead, to turn his back and dodge, while the others continued to advance.

Sure enough, the second flashbang was thrown, and the three people behind were completely blinded. San Ye's sniper rifle couldn't hold up either. Wan Kaizhao, who was dodging with his back turned, had no angle to engage in a gunfight when he tried to pull back. IM walked out of the smoke and shot him dead in advance.

EmiliaQAQ, having regained vision, tried to finish off Wonderful, but was sniped by Wonderful in the ninja position.

Watermelon picked up JL's gun, but couldn't engage Wonderful's sniper. As the smoke cleared from the CT spawn, IM, who knew the situation, took the opportunity to eliminate Watermelon, and also managed to get past Flying behind him, eliminating two people in quick succession.

When Mitsuha filled in for IM, Wonderful moved from the ninja position to behind the box at A University. Almost simultaneously, Mitsuha killed IM, and WDF's sniper took Mitsuha's head.

The score is now 3:1.

The strong team's efficient follow-up shots and coordinated flashbangs quickly overwhelmed LVG's front line.

GUM immediately paused the session.

In the first three rounds, the pistol round was entirely a display of individual skill. The last two rounds were won by pushing through the pistol rounds. However, the rifle rounds were quickly overtaken, so it was time to call a timeout to calm down.

"Control the mid lane map."

"Wan Kaizhao, go to A site and find opportunities. Flying, go to B site and keep the others in control of the middle. Attack A site from both sides."

"If you don't make it into point A, Flying, you should take the opportunity to try and get to point B. Once you've made it into point B, the mid laners should rotate to point B."

"Put more pressure on point A and see if we can trick them into retreating to point B early."

"Similarly, if the pressure on the mid lane is too great, and Flying from point B manages to get inside, Wan Kaizhao, you should see if you can flank them from point A to the CT spawn and attack their flanks."

The tactics used in Sand 2 are repetitive and varied. This particular tactic is the simplest and also the one that depends most on the player's performance.

You can advance as long as you get one kill, but if you lose every gunfight, then everyone is eliminated and the team is wiped out.

This strategy depends entirely on whether the mid laner can apply enough pressure.

Moreover, given NAVI's counter-purge strategy, if they clear B Cave and A Cave, Flying and Wan Kaizhao will be in extremely dangerous situations.

After all, both individual points are operated by individual soldiers.

This tactic is very similar to the Mongolian team's style of play, but the Mongolians can win by engaging in gunfights. In LVG's hands, it depends on whether everyone's guns can hold their own.

As expected, after the timeout, NAVI immediately used a mid-lane counter-clear B site tactic. Bit pushed from mid to B site, while jL and IM explored outwards from inside B site. A site was defended only by Xiao Li Zi and WDF.

This is a classic anti-clear map control tactic. Flying was cleared out as soon as he came up, and his counterattack only managed to cripple JL. After all, facing three gun lines, even if Flying went into overdrive and hit his target, he could probably only trade one kill.

The IM's follow-up shots, even with the information, were still too accurate.

With point B lost, there's no foothold there, so LVG has no choice but to launch a full-scale attack on site A. Bit and his two teammates gathered at the B site, confirmed that no one was at point B, and immediately began a full-scale counterattack.

Wonderful didn't try to snipe; instead, he used a small fireball on A to buy time for his teammates to return to defense as soon as possible.

Knowing that point B was untenable, Xigua immediately called for his teammates to rush A site. They threw a smoke grenade to extinguish the fire at A site, and then Xiao Lizi's grenade exploded, followed by a smoke grenade to prevent A site from spreading out.

With one grenade and one smoke grenade, the rest of LVG's players on A-Xiao couldn't make any moves. Pushing through the smoke grenade was just feeding kills. Whether it was wdf's sniper rifle or Xiao Li's rifle, even if their aim was inconsistent, you couldn't gamble on them missing easy shots.

Pushing forward at this point would be no different from lining up for executions.

During this vacuum period, Bit had already moved from the position of B hole to directly below A small.

Xiao Li and WDF exchanged information. Xiao Li went to set up a smoke grenade at A short, while WDF used a sniper rifle to block the exit at A long.

Once you break through this formation, advancing further becomes virtually impossible.

"With LVG's formation, if they want to win, unless Just1do from A-field goes out and beats wdf, they have no chance."

The machine player could tell that this formation was on the verge of collapse, and the only way to win was to hope for a miraculous performance from the players.

Words have consequences. Everyone knows that the only variable now is Wan Kaizhao from University A, so every anchor and director's perspective has been focused on him.

Wan Kaizhao quickly moved around to check the positions and realized that there was no one at A University and no equipment, so it was highly likely that a sniper was aiming at his position.

The blue car was too easy to pass up; A-small and A-large pressed in simultaneously, making this position a dead end.

If the blue car is eliminated, then the police officer won't be able to stand there either.

Wonderful doesn't have many places to step on.

The most likely scenario is that he'll be positioned right in the middle of the two boxes at bomb site A, crouching at an angle to A main. This way, if A small pushes forward, he can be crouched and unkillable. Once A main is dealt with, he can jump onto the A small ramp and kill all the LVG players at A small.

However, the LVG player at A Small did not move for a long time. Wonderful was worried that the opponent would throw items to clear his position, so he could only move towards the slope of A Main with a sniper rifle, and keep an eye on the exit of A Main as he went.

Wan Kaizhao turned and jumped into the pit at A site, exposing Wonderful's position as he fired his sniper rifle.

This is a gun hoax.

Also, fearing that Wonderful, this genius, would be in a strange position, this air sniping almost increased Wan Kaizhao's gunfight win rate by 20% out of thin air. The next second, he looked up from a big hole and nailed WDF to the forehead, taking down the hand-torn sniper with one shot.

The head position places extremely high demands on the positioning of snipers.

The moment they started playing with the machine, they got excited.

This was undoubtedly a crucial breakthrough! A point that seemed hopeless was brought back.

Watermelon, Three Leaves, and Emilia immediately synchronized their actions. They knew very well that if A University created a breakthrough, they would have no chance to make a move if they didn't.

Little Li killed the watermelon, and Mitsuha immediately followed up with a shot. Then Bit used a spring-loaded device on a box below A that could be jumped onto to instantly locate and kill both of them, giving Emilia no chance to finish them off.

If Wan Kaizhao hadn't already come from A site and finished off Bit, it would have been a 0-for-2 trade without taking any damage. But even with that kill, he was still left with a 1v2 situation.

They're still playing against JL and IM.
