Chapter 47: Got the info, no one is Outside
On the other side, after VG spent half a minute on Default, the team began to slowly tighten their formation.
"Once Jiaoyang finishes throwing the utility, we'll group up and hit B," Commander advent ordered.
"Do you really want me to do it?" Jiaoyang asked, holding a Smoke Grenade, confirming once more.
"What else? Just throw it and head to K1; no other requirements, just hold K1 down."
"Heh, I'll do my best," Jiaoyang said with a bitter smile.
With the line-up smoke I'm throwing, can I really walk through K1?
……
Tyloo voice channel:
"Four Terrorists at Iron Plate with the Bomb, traded one," xccurate's death message.
"Watch out for under Third Floor," BnTeT reacted, realizing things might not be that simple.
How could the opponents execute such a simple tactic after thinking for so long?
"Don't rush, Summer hold under Third Floor, Baicai, Old Xu, let's clear Outside."
Calling off Attack from going through the Pipe, BnTeT decided to coordinate with somebody to clear Outside first.
The opponents had already used up most of their utility; if he let his teammates rashly engage the three Terrorists rushing into B Site, it might actually give the opponents more opportunities for a Clutch.
It would be better to play a 4v4 Retake with full utility and a Defuse Kit.
"So I'm pushing out?" somebody slowly probed from his holding position at B Long toward K1, walking all the way to the K1 stairs.
He could already see the water tower at Feijia, when suddenly—
A bald head popped up on the horizon!
The muzzles of both sides aimed at each other in an instant.
【Ori used Ak-47 to headshot somebody】
"Damn, Red Box, tagged him once in the head."
No choice, weapon disadvantage. Compared to the M4, the AK is still superior.
BnTeT and Attack, pushing out from Main Door, immediately held the angle on Red Box.
VG voice channel:
"Liang Dui, they're pushing Outside, no one's there on your end?"
"No one, we've already cleared the site, get more info."
"Oh."
【Ori used Ak-47 to headshot BnTeT】
【Ori used Ak-47 to headshot Attack】
"Got the info, no one is Outside."
"?"
——
Directly entering the 6657 live stream replay environment:
"BnTeT called a very insane instruction to clear Outside here."
"Do they know Ori's position? Ori just threw utility."
"somebody is about to run into Ori! From this head-glitch spot, somebody sees Ori first!"
"What?! They didn't win that?"
"Tagged him once in the head, nothing to be done, weapon disadvantage."
"BnTeT and Baicai (Attack) are coming to trade for Ori."
"Now it's just a matter of how many more Ori can take; actually, they aren't at a loss now, the Terrorists have the advantage in a 3v3."
"Alright, 3, 2, 1, peek together!"
"Ori fires and gets one, then gets another!!!"
"My god! Clearing Outside in an instant! Truly the master of Outside, the terminator of Clutches!"
【Holy shit, damn!】
【Did he hold down the left mouse button until death?】
【Wait, I feel like I've heard these words somewhere before】
【Aren't these the Rain God's lines? Your formulaic commentary is too formulaic】
【Don't even mention it, it's actually raining in Shanghai】
【VG's tactics are truly awesome! Did you guys understand those two pieces of utility just now?】

"Every time Jiaoyang is here, winning doesn't feel like anything," aumaN complained.
"I didn't play entry this round, did throwing utility for support affect you too? Why don't you do it?"
"I'll do it then," aumaN still felt that this role of lurking and catching people off guard suited him.
Jiaoyang let out a sigh of relief, finally rid of this damn utility.
The next round, VG rushed B again; Jiaoyang's entry combined with the opponents' Half Buy meant they killed their way through.
aumaN didn't even see a single person.
Refusing to believe it, he lurked even more aggressively, but instead of getting a pick, he was caught red-handed by Tyloo, who were playing Default according to their tactical documents, earning Tyloo a point.
"Damn, my bad. Shouldn't have pushed," aumaN took the blame.
"It's fine, I have issues too," Jiaoyang shared the blame; if he hadn't been unable to play as a Utility Player, he wouldn't have tried to find a way to make aumaN fill in.
"My calling this round was a bit problematic too," advent echoed.
"My aim went soft," zhokiNg said, very concisely.
Next, everyone shifted their gaze toward kaze.
"Me?" kaze thought for a long time, unable to find anything wrong with how he played; he had even followed up on the shots he needed to.
"I... my Chinese callouts aren't very good?"
"Hahahaha."
Compared to VG, who could still laugh while assigning blame after a loss, Tyloo was much more serious—
"Alright, it seems the Default is useful; the opponents really like to throw."
BnTeT moved past the confusion from the previous round, realizing that those two pieces of utility had nothing to do with tactics at all; it was purely that Ori's aim was on point.
As long as they played a solid Default, the opponents would also have moments of throwing and soft aim.
Responding to change with constancy—it really does make sense!
"That Ori on the opposite side is the entry fragger. xccurate, you pick up the sniper rifle this round and watch Outside."
"Ok." xccurate didn't say anything; he listened to the Commander, played properly, and ran toward the Big Warehouse carrying the big sniper.
"Outside line-up Smoke, watch out for K1."
Not long after, xccurate continued to relay information:
"Main Door Waterfall Smoke and a well-placed Big Warehouse Smoke. Should I change positions?"
BnTeT frowned, thinking to himself, 'This again?'
"Continue the Default. Keep an eye on the Iron Plate. You can use the utility you need to use."
As he switched to his Smoke and prepared to seal the Main Door, a familiar figure descended from the sky—
【Ori used AK-47 to Headshot BnTeT】
Bang!
It just had to be the TIMING when he was switching utility!
Although he slammed the table, BnTeT still quickly followed up with information: "Jumped Main Door."
The teammates on the Third Floor immediately looked toward the Inner Site.
"Nobody."
"How can that be?" BnTeT couldn't figure it out; they didn't rush the Iron Plate, and they didn't hit the Inner Site, so where else could they go?
Wait! Oh no!
"Watch out for K1!!!"
【zhokiNg used AK-47 to kill somebody】
"Three at K1."
They really did go K1, damn it!
At this moment, BnTeT gradually realized why no Asian team would leave Nuke (Nuke) as a map against VG.
It was simply too complex!
The entire map was too three-dimensional, with too many interconnected areas; whether it was the Pipe, the Third Floor, K1, or even above the Main Door, they could all be used to launch surprise attacks.
This directly led to a vast number of offensive tactics; once the defensive side didn't think clearly, they would miss a spot.
The Default on the tactical document could only handle the initial situation; once the battle unfolded, the Commander needed to make judgments based on the circumstances.
It was precisely because there were so many interconnected places that there were also many ways to respond.
This tested the Commander's proficiency with tactics.
If every situation had been encountered, then naturally one could adapt on the fly.
But if, like Tyloo, they only played the old three maps and hadn't played Nuke many times, everything became complicated.
Unfortunately, the map pick was decided from the start; they had no chance to bring the small town back into the map pool.
【Ori used AK-47 to Headshot xccurate】
This Ori, how could he learn this map so quickly?!!
BnTeT watched as xccurate was killed by Jiaoyang through the Smoke, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Jiaoyang picked up the big sniper rifle xccurate hadn't fired a single shot with and smiled—
Not having to throw utility is truly great!
