Chapter 124: Let's fly this one properly!
"Too fast! Jiao Yang!"
"From the start of the round, he chose to rotate through the Connector; this is a performance of absolute trust in his teammates!"
"And this climb up to the Third Floor, could anyone have expected it?"
"Who is this? NiKo! He has no idea!"
"The first shot takes down NiKo from behind, very steady."
"The second shot locks onto olof, who just turned his head! He didn't give the opponent any time to react at all! Finally, just waiting for aumaN to peek out from the Iron Door—"
"What! Jiao Yang uses the third shot! He directly executed GuardiaN, who was holding the Sniper Rifle!!!"
"Three shots, he killed the match!"
"In his hands, the Desert Eagle has turned into a 700-dollar Sniper Rifle!"
"This is our CN Handgun King!"
【The Era of God Jiao! Boiling with anticipation!】
【Grass grass grass grass grass, they just won like this?】
【Isn't killing someone with a Flashbang a bit too dramatic?】
【The gold content of a 100% pause-score!!! God Xin!】
【Speak, NiKo, speak!】
【We are the champions!!!!!】
【Don't pop the champagne yet! There's still Map 3————】
For some, this match was not yet over, but for others, the 10:16 scoreline meant they could not continue watching.
York collapsed onto the floor, his gaze unfocused.
When JamYoung got the first kill, he already felt something was wrong.
When NiKo traded two kills to bring it back to a 3v2, he let out a sigh of relief.
Until he saw Ori appear on the Third Floor, he was on edge once again, his mind filled with "It can't be, right?".
As it turned out, three shots, fulfilling Murphy's Law.
And those three shots had pierced through the screen, directly shattering York's last hope.
He just lay there on the floor, the commentators in his headphones continued, while the Dallas sun slowly set.
"It's over just like that?" aumaN held his TEC-9, not even having the chance to peek out of the Iron Door to take one last look at GuardiaN.
"Awesome!" JamYoung exclaimed from the bottom of his heart; he played the Desert Eagle often, and he could tell at a glance the difficulty of those three shots!
Jiao Yang, having been praised numbly for these few rounds, laughed: "Alright, without you two, I wouldn't have been able to pull off that play."
"The tactic was also suggested by you, so it's definitely your credit!" An Wenxin said while distributing the tactical materials for the next map, Inferno.
This pause was called by Jiao Yang, and the way they played was also directed by him.
"How did you suddenly think of this half-buy strategy?"
advent asked curiously; they hadn't trained much on Nuke, and their playstyle was quite fixed.
If there were any temporarily added tactics, they should have been mentioned in advance for everyone to get familiar with.
Jiao Yang's usual commanding was more about on-the-spot improvisation; a sudden tactical design was quite rare.
"I dreamed about it suddenly." Jiao Yang was very honest; it was indeed copied from a dream.
"Are you that much of a try-hard? Still playing games in your dreams?" aumaN looked at Jiao Yang as if he were non-human.
"More than you?"
advent took off aumaN's hat, his afro exploded like cotton, with every strand of hair curled to a different degree.
And this moment was naturally captured by the on-site photographer.
The barrage in the Zhibojian surged—
【I thought Brother Jiao was already a weirdo, didn't expect there to be an even bigger expert!】
【No wonder he could kill with a flashbang, this hairstyle really blinded my dog eyes————】
【Haven't you all seen hItv? Didn't they have promotional photos out long ago?】
【I specifically went to the VG official blog to check, these guys are too damn artistic】
Unlike the noisy atmosphere on the VG side, FaZe, having experienced so many comeback rounds, had their mentality undergo some changes.
"Don't be discouraged, their state on this map is a bit good." Coach YNk didn't single out any one person from VG for praise, but attributed the performance of several people to the group, which could also reduce some fear in the matchups.
"I didn't play well, many times the key duels were lost to Ori, leading to the failure of the round."
NiKo's words disrupted YNk's painstaking efforts.
Is this the time for you to reflect? YNk smiled bitterly inside.
But if he didn't help NiKo take this step, then the upcoming Map 3 would be even harder to play.
YNk pointed out the problem with Nuke: "The Ori on the opposite side knows you too well, NiKo!"
"His pre-aiming, positioning, and even the firing rhythm of his Desert Eagle are exactly the same as yours."
"You didn't lose to Ori, but to a better version of yourself!"
YNk believed that if the NiKo who wasn't commanding back then had come to duel, not to mention having a huge advantage, at least restricting Ori's performance wouldn't have been a problem at all.
But the current NiKo not only had to command, but also had inner demons entangled by failure.
He needed a thorough victory to prove all of this.
Unfortunately, it was very difficult for the current FaZe to achieve that————
"What should I do?" The young NiKo lowered his head.
Beside him, several teammates also gathered around, placing their hands on NiKo's shoulders: "Believe in us, and believe in yourself."
"NiKo traded aumaN! The match continues!"
"No one would believe that FaZe Clan, having suffered repeated setbacks on Nuke, would have such strong explosive power on Map 3!"
"But likewise, no one would believe that under the huge score gap of 11:4, this new VG could show such terrifying resilience!"
The time for this game had already exceeded 1 hour, and the two teams were in their 5th overtime.
Adding the previous two games, the entire match had already been played for 4 hours.
The official commentators' brains were now a mess, and facing the ever-changing situation, they could only use some filler talk to stall.
Clearly, such long-duration, high-intensity competition was testing not only the players' operational skills, but also their physical stamina, which was often overlooked.
Since the second half began, FaZe had already revealed the biggest problem of this team—the lack of stamina due to the high average age.
The situation was almost entirely supported by NiKo; if it weren't for FaZe being too familiar with the map Inferno, the overtime wouldn't
have lasted this long.
At this time, FaZe's pauses had been completely used up, while VG hadn't used a single one since entering overtime.
They were completely using their physical advantage to wear them down; although the Qiyou Trio were old hands, they had debuted early, and were only 25 or 26 years old at this time.
And JamYoung's advantage of being under twenty was slowly magnifying as time went on; on the T side, he could already break through and take down those old men whose performance was unstable.
29:30, the sixtieth round.
"Let's fly the Second Floor."
At this moment, Jiao Yang had already taken over the commanding power from advent, letting advent focus on dueling and incidentally relax his tense spirit.
"Really, if it doesn't work, let's call a pause?" advent said, concerned as he looked at Jiao Yang's somewhat pale lips.
Jiao Yang being able to maintain his state through so many rounds and chase the score all the way was already a bit terrifying.
"No need, just this one round, if we lose, we'll mooch off their next overtime." Jiao Yang smiled reluctantly: "And you don't think NiKo is having an easy time, do you?"
advent looked up; on the other side, NiKo was indeed already covered in sweat, his entire face red as if it had been steamed.
"Alright then!" He wiped the sweat from his hands, then said loudly: "Everyone, perk up, let's fly this one properly!"
