Chapter 114

DH Masters Dallas Group A Round 1, VG vs NiP.

Map: Vertigo. T: advent, Ori, aumaN, zhokiNg, JamYoung.

CT: fOrest, GeT—RiGhT, REZ, Lekr0, pita.

In the live stream, 7th round, 20 seconds countdown: "Jiao Yang's offensive sniper held another one!"

"Pity, pita guessed right—is there enough time left for VG to rotate from B Site back to A Site?"

"Oh, no time! advent can only give the order to force B Site." Reading novels -> 𝘵𝘵𝘬. 𝘵𝘸

"JamYoung fell first, zhokiNg didn't cover!"

"

aumaN was blinded and didn't cover either! REZ's multi-kill continues!"

"NiP's props are really too many. Under the deceleration of flashbangs and grenades, this B revolving stairs became the burial ground for VG's four-man squad."

"It won't work! Can't play 4-man tactics anymore, this VG old-and-young combination can't compare to NiP at all."

"VG called a timeout, indeed should call a timeout after two consecutive long gun round losses."

During the timeout, the camera cut to the scene.

First, a shot of the 0:7 score on the player screen, then slowly pulled back to cover the entire scene.

The girl in the black tracksuit put down the microphone and spoke seriously to the tactical file, and the VG players nodded from time to time.

Time passed quickly.

Finally, the competition venue erupted with a uniform mysterious language: "Let's go!!!"

【What's the situation? Why is the referee talking? Is it a technical timeout? Equipment problem? No wonder VG's state is wrong!】

【30 seconds! And what problem could there be? The organizer pulled your network cable? Persecution delusion, right?】

【Wait? Holy shit! Seems like this girl is the coach.】

【No wonder they play so badly, feels like there are no tactics at all!】

【No, what does this have to do with tactics? VG didn't have a coach before! Isn't the problem that REZ's marksmanship is too fierce?】

【No way, NiP drew the god REZ.】

【It's good to hear cheering on the field, at least the morale is okay, before VG lost and no one made a sound.】

【Don't panic, double-elimination format, there's a next round, I think that WG who lost to FaZe is quite bad.】

Just as the bullet comments were considering the next match, Jiao Yang's offensive sniper had already taken the first kill on A slope.

【Ori used AWP to kill REZ】

"Ah? Is this REZ not awake? Or is he inflated from killing too much? Jiao Yang clearly saved the big sniper last round! And he still dares to press forward?"

"Anyway, good death!"

"Once REZ is dead, VG directly starts to speed up."

"Very good, advent gave up buying AK at the start, the saved props played a role!"

"JamYoung finally got his first kill of this match with the help of a flash."

"The last pita guarding A was also taken by zhokiNg. NiP won't play this 2V5 clutch, saving the sniper and props."

"Like this, the score came to 1:7, is this the horn of VG's counterattack?"

【It's here! The origin of all things!】

【Let's go! VG】

【Scoring points during timeout, NB!】

【Could it be?】

【I'll say a number, 8:7.】

During the garbage time of saving guns, the sharp-eyed player discovered a detail.

"Opposite side died 3, two AKs and one A1, why did JamYoung pick up an A1?"

【Truly god-like, first time seeing AK swapped for A1.】

【I feel it's quite right, AK can't hit people, might as well be more stable with A1, at least can hit more blood.】

【Just bad, only a 1-7 scrub can make this kind of operation.】

Round ended, 9th round started, Terrorist spawn point:

Jiao Yang and JamYoung completed an aerial gun swap.

【?】

【Is this my hallucination? Why did Jiao Yang swap the big sniper for an A1?】

【So that's it, the A1 just now was saved for Jiao Yang?】

【Is Jiao Yang's head line aimed wrong here? Not familiar with the map?】

【Looks like a scrub too, same understanding as my C+ teammates.】

A flash in the middle, gunshots.

【Ori (while blinded) used M4A1 to headshot kill REZ】

"What? REZ crouched and pulled directly into Jiao Yang's muzzle?!" the player screamed.

【Holy shit, what luck?】

【C+ scrub speak! C+ scrub speak! What's your understanding?】

【Another key first kill! NB!】

【I understand holding the crouch-pull headshot line, but why swap for A1?】

【I guess it's because A1 can be silenced, making it more convenient to sneak people when playing 4-man tactics.】

Relying on the key first kill, VG seized the opportunity again, launched an offensive relying on the middle, NiP lost another point, score came to 2:7.

"It's a critical round, NiP saved guns twice, but if they lose this one, there really is no economy."

【I've seen this one, it's 0:7 to 8:7.】

【Just need to get six points, this map's upper layer retake is fast, lower layer rotation is slow, biased towards CT.】

【No ambition, I'll say a number—16:7.】

【Spoiler 360.】

However, things were not as smooth as everyone imagined. Although VG tried hard to narrow the score gap, the lack of firepower during the breakthrough still caused VG to lose in the clutch due to being outnumbered.

At the end of the first half, VG only got 4 points, while NiP led by a large margin with 11 points.

【Finished, 7-point gap, how to chase this?】

【Must win the pistol round.】

【Forget it, forget it, going to sleep, have to work tomorrow.】

【Jiao Yang is exactly the same as ZywOo, both killed by old guys!】

【That's still different, our little guys here don't act like humans either.】

Unlike the CN fans staying up late, it was just noon in the US, and many people were watching the match while eating, not suffering at all.

NiP supporter, old white man York, was enjoying delicious classic sausage pizza, paired with ice-cold beer, feeling extremely comfortable.

This time NiP vs VG, he didn't bet little; the 1.37 return was enough for a bachelor like him who receives unemployment benefits to be carefree for a while.

After the match started, the number next to the NiP icon plummeted, finally reaching 1.03, which shows how stable supporting NiP was.

Although the YouTube streamer Iru collected some outrageous operations of Ori during the halftime break, it only proved how low the level of Asian CS was.

You know, NiP was just at the middle level of European T1 before, and now they even put in a coach, estimated to be at T2 strength.

Even this remnant team couldn't beat the Asian No. 1 VG, which shows how big the gap in CS is in various places.

Currently, only American CS can surpass Europe, which is everyone's consensus.

During the halftime break, advent, as the captain, was self-reflecting: "My problem, took it for granted and still wanted to use the routines from playing MVP."

The failure of the previous few long gun rounds came from his wrong command, because the four-man tactic had been effective in dealing with MVP's conservative play, so he thought of copying it over.

As a result, NiP and MVP's marksmanship were simply like the moon compared to fireflies, there was no comparison at all.

This also led to the four-man tactic becoming a suicide tactic, and also limited Jiao Yang's performance.

"We have too little actual combat on this map, and the teams that practice with us domestically are not familiar with it, so it's normal that the T-side rhythm can't start." An Wenxin sighed.

The gaming environment of CNCS is just like this; whether it's ladder or competition, domestic players only stare at the old three maps to choose.

The root lies in a cycle that is difficult to change:

Even ignoring the learning costs of props and reporting, just talking about tactics.

If you want to practice a new map, you have to be bullied by those who have already learned it, and even if you learn it, there are few people playing it, and it's easy not to be able to bully anyone.

Then over time, no one is willing to choose new maps.

"Yes, the effect of playing is not as good as domestically."

advent recalled that practicing Nuke before was the same, lacking sparring partners! After they went through all kinds of hardships to practice it, they were even less willing to practice with others.

Jiao Yang, seeing that the few people around him were either silent or sighing, reminded: "Our tactical design isn't on the CT side, why are you guys acting like you lost?"

He had already felt the European marksmanship in the first half, and it was indeed not on the same level as Asia.

The crushing operations that could be achieved by reaction speed in the past were not so stable, and the opponent's occasional outbursts could also suppress him.

Most importantly, 【b1t's Headshot Machine】 that he had always relied on and 【zont1's Steady Output】 that he just drew conflicted!

According to the description, this game cannot be switched back to 【b1t's Headshot Machine】.

The AK always unconsciously presses down, hitting mostly the body, while the opponent can headshot and counter-kill by relying on the first-line reaction level.

So he used the sniper rifle more, but the sniper rifle's multi-kill ability is limited after all. When killing one person on the opponent's side during the offensive, teammates must stand up to protect him.

However, even he had to pay more mental focus to stabilize his marksmanship against NiP, and his teammates' marksmanship was even more unstable.

So the scene would appear where he killed one person, which was equivalent to a signal gun for the opposite side to counter-clear, and the final result depended on whether the teammates could hold on.

Judging from the score of the first half, in the last 6 rounds, the teammates held on for 2 rounds.

Under the huge disadvantage of 0:7, T-side being able to play like this is actually quite good.

"That's right! The opposite side can get 11 points even with this CT side that hasn't been researched, we will only get more!" An Wenxin encouraged following Jiao Yang's words.

The other few people felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but it also seemed very reasonable.

Just comparing the tactical files of the two sides, their CT part alone was several times more than the opposite side, and they regained their confidence all of a sudden.

The countdown was about to end, six people stretched out their right hands: "VG!"

"Let's go!"

Second half pistol round.

"Everyone has seen the last round, rotating on this map is actually compressing time." Coach and temporary player pita announced the tactics during the waiting time.

"So? Which playstyle should we use?"

"Directly speed up to A Site! Use marksmanship to destroy the opposite side!"

"Understood!"

REZ charged to A slope first. At this time, his KD had reached 20-5, which can be said to be ruthless in bullying scrubs.

【REZ used P250 to headshot kill JamYoung (pita flash assist)】

Hit with one shot to the body, REZ didn't stop his pace, directly rushing into A bomb site.

Da-da, there were very obvious gunshots.

【aumaN used USP to kill REZ (Ori assist)】

"Side path! And the right side?! Seems like the ninja spot!" REZ reported the point immediately.

"Impossible, I'm holding the ninja spot!" GeTRiGhT responded hurriedly.

It is very fatal to have enemies in positions that haven't been cleared. For professional players, give him a five-man back, and there's really a chance to click them all.

"Not the sandbags either, I just searched!" fOrest even rushed to the sandbags, not seeing a single shadow.

【aumaN used USP to headshot kill GeT—RiGhT】

"It is the side path!" GeT—RiGhT was distracted and looked at the corner sticking to the wall again, and was caught by aumaN on the other side.

ming.

"Could it be that you wore your headphones backwards?" GeTRiGhT suspected that REZ heard wrong, because the side path was on the left.

REZ also hesitated for a moment; he might have heard the teammate's gunshots as the opponent's.

【Ori used P2000 to kill fOrest】

"Impossible, Ori is using a P2000." REZ saw the information in the upper right corner and then reacted.

The P2000's gunshot is very hard, completely different from the soft USP, instead a bit like a Glock.

"Damn, there's an invisible guy on the opposite side!"

"Don't think about planting the bomb, find this person!"

【Ori used P2000 to headshot kill pita】

Finally, Lekr0 directly ignored the CT on the side path and aimed straight at the right hand side, jumping over.

Da-da two sounds~

【Ori used P2000 to kill Lekr0 (aumaN assist)】

"Grass! On the white box!"

Relying on the perspective shared by the five people of the team, NiP finally discovered the P2000's muzzle flash and an extremely insidious fly head.

"I remember I took a look!"

Although this is an unconventional position, REZ remembered he had taken a look, otherwise he wouldn't have been so sure it was the ninja spot.

"Maybe we played too urgently." pita didn't blame REZ either; the match information is huge, and it is indeed easy to ignore some content and produce misjudgment.

"The opposite side using P2000 might also be designed."

Clearly having a good silenced weapon USP not used, instead choosing the P2000 that is easy to expose, mixed in the Glock's gunshots.

False and true, very much like Chinese wisdom.

On the other side, Jiao Yang checked the "P2000 | Turf" in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

——

Fortunately, there is 【ropz's Freedom of Movement】 to be able to hide, otherwise, relying on the P2000's obvious gunshots, the opponent would probably have discovered him in an instant.

If it weren't for his spawn point being too excellent, otherwise this position should have been left to aumaN, and then the P2000 would crazily attract the opponent's attention, instead being able to exert the advantage of obvious gunshots.

"NB, didn't waste me sending you such a good skin!" aumaN was at the edge of the five people, couldn't high-five Jiao Yang, could only find presence in the channel.

"Your 3 plus 2 is very strong, I just rushed over and killed everyone." JamYoung's data was not good, but he also knew not to affect the team atmosphere, giving praise and support.

Finding presence, aumaN inflated: "You just watch the middle, if someone comes, remember to call me."

As he spoke, he was about to buy a gun.

"Wait a minute." Jiao Yang bought an AUG and threw it directly to aumaN: "I remember you use A1, swap with me."

?

aumaN didn't expect that since he changed his CT main battle to AUG, the behavior of changing M4A4 to M4A1 could really come in handy.

At this time, A4 is much stronger than A1; the same price, higher rate of fire brings higher DPS.

Silencing is simply not worth mentioning in front of damage.

But since Jiao Yang said so, there must be his reason.

Even the last Truth or Dare, aumaN had also realized it; it must be that this group of people conspired to pit people, only his style was an unrecoverable freak!

He threw out the A1 and then rushed to the yellow cloth.

"Lots of footsteps in the middle!" JamYoung shouted.

【JamYoung used M4A1 to kill REZ】

Glock's sound rang out—ECO round!

aumaN, who reacted, rushed to the middle excitedly, but was still half a step slow in the end—

【Ori used M4A1 to kill fOrest】

【Ori used M4A1 to kill GeT—RiGhT】

【Ori used M4A1 to kill Lekr0】

【Ori used M4A1 to kill pita】

Under the passionate and continuous roar of M4A4, the bursts of M4A1 gunshots seemed a bit gentle.

"Advice, don't spray when playing ECO."

7

Jiao Yang's M4A1 had two bullets left after tapping, JamYoung sprayed a magazine and was also headshot once.
