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

A short break.

GUM gathered everyone together and pulled out a tactical board, which was a response based on NAVI's understanding of the Ancient Ruins map.

Wan Kaizhao glanced at it.

To put it simply, this content describes when NAVI likes to use utility, where they like to attack after using the utility, and where their main attack direction might appear after using the utility at the start of the game.

This is not tactical analysis.

It's basically just taking a demo from a NAVI match, talking about the opponent's habits, and then letting the players adapt on the spot.

What tactical options does LVG have on this map?

There isn't one at all.

Because their team was newly formed, they didn't have the opportunity to practice on many maps. They could practice on one map, Dust 2, because the structure of this map is simple enough, and there are only a few repetitive tactics that don't become complicated.

Maps like Ancient Ruins may seem simple, but they are actually much more playable than Sand City 2, at least in terms of tactical flexibility.

GUM believed that if they could win a map, LVG would have already succeeded. He didn't even think about beating NAVI on the Ancient Ruins map; his idea was to use the game as practice.

But he couldn't tell the players that we definitely couldn't win this map; his main goal was to motivate them.

But the LVG team players aren't stupid. With their current skill level, they can win in Dust 2 by gunfights, but can they do the same in Ancient Ruins?

In the first map, Watermelon had already witnessed the opponent's strength on the default side; the opponent was clearly an academic master.

Just because your coach says we can win, does that mean we can win?

Even throwing a few props might not be done well, so Watermelon isn't optimistic about the outcome of the second picture.

When the referee signaled that the match could begin on the second map.

Wan Kaizhao has already figured out his strategy for this map, so he's just standing still in the small dark room.

If you haven't practiced on a map, it's best to start with a defensive strategy. Otherwise, you might end up getting wiped out at every point. Instead of thinking about how to win, you should think about how to win big in the dark room.

After their defeat on the previous map, the NAVI players weren't angry; their shame level just soared.

They had just won several tournaments, but then they were completely crushed on a map by a Chinese team ranked outside the top 100.

This is absolutely hilarious.

Therefore, at the start of the second map, the NAVI team did not adopt the previous attitude of underestimating or even despising the game, but instead bought a whole set of items right away.

In pistol rounds, holding positions is the default strategy.

They gave LVG no chance or room for error.

Watermelon in the middle lane tried to push forward to get information, but was immediately taken down by IM who had already positioned himself at the point. The timer stopped at 1 minute, and the bomb exploded at point B.

Smoke fell like rain.

One plume of smoke, then another, and the fire in the dead spot was practically pouring down.

Three people burst out from B Avenue and immediately took control of the B site bomb site. Sanye, who was inside the second smoke, could only fire into the smoke. Flying, who was at a dead spot in the B site, was burned out. The three people rushed to his face and instantly killed him.

Only Wan Kaizhao, who was in the dark room, caught Bit, who was being groped out of the dark room.

Bit, who had just been killed, slammed his fist on the table, looking annoyed.

In both maps, he felt like he was being matched up against this rookie player.

Big B has always had extremely high standards for his shooting skills. Moreover, he is one of only two Ukrainian players in the current NAVI team, and he is very experienced. He considers himself the only star player in NAVI right now, so he has a strong sense of responsibility.

If someone who should have been killed wasn't killed, or if someone who should have made a contribution wasn't made, then Big Brother B will stay silent and put pressure on himself.

However, in the small black room, NAVI's players quickly rushed into the small black room, and IM had already come over from the mid-lane jump platform when the bomb exploded.

After Bit died, Lee immediately ordered him to be put in a dark room and his place taken.

jL charged in from the narrow opening in area B, while IM charged in from the entrance of the platform. Although the two sides did not have a very high degree of synchronization, it was not too difficult for professional players to lock onto someone in a locked position.

There wasn't much space in the small dark room to fight a 1v2 from two angles. After IM finished off Wan Kaizhao, Sanye chased him from the smoke to the small dark room, where he was hit by a cross between the bomb site and the small dark room by JL and Li Shen.

Only EmliiaQAQ in area A is stuck on the jump platform. It's unlikely that she can defend from this position. She tried to sneak up on IM from behind in the small room but was directly blocked.

0-1.

The intensity from the start is different from that of Sand Dunes II.

There was no joking around; the sole aim was to win.

Wan Kaizhao retracted his previous statement.

The opponent's gun was a bit weak, but the tactics and default settings completely made up for the disadvantage of weak guns.

Reaching the world's number one ranking through tactics and default decisions is also a form of strength.

The second one.

LVG refused to tolerate NAVI's tactics and forced a five-man gank.

"We lost the pistol round, but we'll treat it as a win," Wan Kaizhao said. "Treat them like it's an eco round, don't be afraid of them, just rush in."

After playing a few matches, Wan Kaizhao could tell that his teammates' stats were quite high. Although they were ranked outside the top 100 on Valve's leaderboard, Wan Kaizhao had checked the data on his phone and found that these teammates from the LVG team were among the few professional players in the CNCS world who could go toe-to-toe with foreigners.

Wan Kaizhao initiated a strong attack, and the others followed suit.

It's another dark room.

This time, Wan Kaizhao didn't stay in the dark room; he shuffled his way to the front.

NAVI remains stable.

The default strategy didn't treat LVG as an economic game at all; instead, it assumed the opponent would force a buy.

Light a fire in front of the small dark room.

Wan Kaizhao watched as the fire fell at his feet.

Reactions between millimeters.

Either fight or retreat.

He was thinking that his opponent had a long gun and he had a short gun. The opponent was coming in a line, and with the aiming of a professional player, even if your shooting skills were a level above the opponent's, it would be very difficult to kill them.

Rather than waiting to die, it's better to seize the timing of a Molotov cocktail.

Thinking of this, the fire exploded at his feet. Before it could spread to Wan Kaizhao, he had already pulled out and was sweeping the MP9 at Bit, who had just thrown the fire.

After Bit fired, he didn't retreat immediately. Instead, he held up his AK. However, at this great distance from the MP9, the AK became the disadvantaged one.

The correct procedure is to throw the fire, then step back one body length to avoid close-range gunfights, and only move out when you hear the sound of the opponent stepping on the fire and getting burned.

Bit's strategy is based on the confidence that its gun can hold its ground.

Bit's positioning was essentially the same as Jiahao's front-line attack. When the icon indicating Bit was killed appeared, he slammed his fist on the table.

Even though IM quickly finished off Wan Kaizhao next to Bit, it was too late to save Bit, who was already lying on the ground.

The red temperature is visible to the naked eye.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Even Bit, who wasn't usually talkative, couldn't help but curse in Russian.

We've really run into a god-tier team.

No team in the world's top ten would do something like this.

That positioning was pure suicide.

The problem is that when people offer something to him, he still fails to get it right, and that's what really makes Bit so popular.

Unfortunately, NAVI ultimately had the advantage in firearms, and Bit's downfall was at best a one-for-one exchange.

They still have four people, and LVG only has four people.

Losing a player is more damaging to the defending side, as it reduces their defensive space. Losing a player means losing control of an entire area.

With Xiao Li's constant maneuvering, LVG's bomb site crumbled at the slightest touch, still due to the immense pressure of gunfights caused by their inferior weaponry.

The NAVI players are all known for their ruthless use of long guns against short guns.

2-0 at the start.

Next minute: pure ECO.

It's like giving the opponent three points first.
