Chapter 32

In the training room, the three of them and kaze, who was on a video call, all faced the whiteboard together.

The map on the whiteboard was covered with twisted text, but with advent's passionate explanation, everyone understood the general idea.

The map they were training on this time was Overpass (de_overpass), and correspondingly, LVG was to train on Dust II (DUSTII).

The reason for choosing Overpass is simple, because 8EASY likes to play it.

Between the two sides, VG does not play Cache, which is almost always the first ban.

And as a CN team, they have a mysterious confidence in Inferno, Dust II, and Mirage, so they won't ban them.

Therefore, in a 2-ban, 2-pick, then 2-ban, 1-remaining situation, everyone will only choose between these three maps and a certain map they are confident in.

8EASY has chosen Overpass in many matches, and their performance can only be said to be okay, better than the map Train.

Thus, targeting the opponent's map pick is the content of this training.

"Jiao Yang is a newcomer, some utility coordination needs to be focused on." advent pointed out at the end.

"Ok..." Jiao Yang wasn't very sure about his utility level either. First, he wasn't familiar enough with maps other than the old three, and second, he had 【broky's utility understanding】.

Even if he aimed at certain points, there might still be flaws due to hand tremors, jump-throw errors, etc.

So with this talent, whether he can throw it correctly is like Schrödinger's cat, always in a state of quantum superposition.

The match started quickly, and the LVG players were: Yvonne, JXS, Xg, Tserof, Aree.

On the VG side, they were: advent, aumaN, zhokiNg, kaze, Ori.

advent decided to do the opposite and chose to start on the T side.

On one hand, choosing to start on the T side can disrupt the opponent's preparation.

On the other hand, a stable T-side start can better train offensive coordination.

After all, the coordination required by the defensive side is limited, and it is more about tactical design, even if there is coordination, it is mostly during retakes.

The offensive side is under higher pressure, requiring team members to be highly focused at all times, coordinating with each other to provide utility, and trading kills in a timely manner.

This is why low-rank ladder games always like to play CT; even if the team has no coordination, holding angles is something they can do.

On the other side, in LVG's training room...

"Captain, why did VG change people?" the newcomer Yvonne asked Captain Xg.

"Is this the Jiao Yang who caused such a stir a few days ago?" JXS interjected.

Xg nodded: "Yes, but it doesn't look like he's cheating as rumored."

"Then where will freeman go?" Aree was more concerned about the destination of such a powerful young player.

"How would I know?" Xg shook his head, but he knew that the LVG management had no ideas, for no other reason than that he was too expensive.

"It's started, it's started, play well, maybe we can take this map when we play Tyloo."

Speaking as if they had already defeated 5Power, Xg was actually just strategically despising them, but in reality, he was quite nervous.

LVG is missing a gunner!

The match officially began. In the pistol round, LVG as CT came up with a conventional 3A2B defense, which is the normal "I want it all" defensive mindset, not losing even a bit of map control.

This playstyle tests the marksmanship of teammates fighting on their own...

【VG's Ori himself used a Glock to headshot Yvonne】

Clearly, LVG's newcomer Yvonne couldn't beat the opponent's newcomer Ori.

"Three at construction site, didn't see the bomb." Yvonne reported all the information.

Xg originally intended to leave only one person to flank from the back and collect information, but because of the last sentence about not seeing the bomb, he decided to have two groups of 2-man pincers.

As long as B Site can hold on, even if VG wants to rotate, there's no way.

Before the two flanking players could walk a few steps, new bad news came—

【VG's Ori himself used a Glock to headshot JXS】

B Site had already been broken.

"How could it be so fast? Didn't I tell you to hold on?" Xg questioned JXS, who was self-preserving at B Site, in the training room.

"There's no way, this Ori is like a madman, charging in and just tapping me to death."

As the Terrorists finished planting the bomb, this round completely became a dead end; 3V5 breakthrough is really a bit difficult, even if Xg has a smoke and a flash on him.

After some thought, Xg still decided that the three of them should save armor and utility, and they could try to force buy next round.

If that doesn't work, ECO again, so that by eating the compensation for the next two rounds, the economy will look much better.

However, it seems someone doesn't quite agree with his idea. Ever since Xg made eye contact with a fly-head, the other party kept chasing him.

One step, two steps, Xg walked into a dead end.

【VG's Ori himself used a Glock to headshot Xg】

"Is there any discipline left? What's there to save?" Xg lay on the gaming chair, unable to understand.

He would never have thought that this was one of advent's tactics—letting Jiao Yang ignore the rules and regulations of the profession and show the wild energy of his usual breakthroughs.

This is the boss's task, a flashy playstyle.

Before the explosion, Jiao Yang found the positions of the other two CTs saving guns. Due to the crossfire, helplessly, he gave a kill to aumaN.

On the other side, kaze, who was seeing Jiao Yang play CS for the first time, was stunned. Although advent said that Jiao Yang and Freeman's styles were different, this difference was too big.

If Freeman is like a spearman thrusting behind the big shield of his teammates, then Jiao Yang is like someone holding a 40-meter big machete charging into the enemy formation alone.

Compared to the final result, kaze admired Jiao Yang's courage more, hoping to see such a performance in high-intensity matches.

The risks and rewards are too great; playing well will make him an object of praise, and playing poorly will make him the laughingstock of everyone. This requires very strong psychological pressure resistance.

Without successfully saving armor, LVG naturally didn't choose to force buy, but obediently ECOed.

By the first full gun round, the Terrorist entrance of Overpass became a utility graveyard similar to the Banana Path on Inferno, with all kinds of things thrown towards the entrance.

In addition to the CT side's fire and grenade at the entrance, VG also handed over fire-extinguishing smoke and flashes, seizing Overpass.

Jiao Yang very cleverly handed over the fire-extinguishing smoke first; this kind of utility thrown on the ground is hard to mess up.

Borrowing the teammate's flash, he infiltrated to the vicinity of the balloon one step ahead and held the toilet.

And the sewer entrance had already been cleared by zhokiNg, so there was no need to worry about exposing his side.

This round, LVG defended very cautiously, retreating to the back points upon contact, with an A2B2 Connector 1 formation, ensuring that once a fight started, it would inevitably be a 3-man defense.

After seeing the utility VG gave for A Site, Tserof retreated directly to the back point, jumping to look while borrowing cover in front of the bank.

The smoke from kaze at the front blocked A long, no longer giving Tserof the opportunity to jump and look for information.

Tserof also decisively handed over a smoke grenade at the entrance of the toilet.

This way, if VG wants to force a rush on A long, they must eat the crossfire from the toilet and the bank.

With this back and forth, the utility of both sides was running low, and the time was also reminding advent that it was time to give the offensive command!

"Wait for the smoke to dissipate, aumaN get ready."

"No problem."

The duration of the smoke grenade is not long. Tserof saw that the opponent didn't react, and prepared to jump and look for information again.

Only at the moment he jumped up, he did see information, and it was an extremely familiar face—
