Chapter 118: Rather than dragging it out until the bomb explodes, it

Winning four consecutive rounds made everyone on VP feel very good.

neo felt that his state today was unprecedentedly good—

Not just his gunplay, it seemed his tactical thinking as a commander had also returned.

"Repeat the same trick this round!" neo said, "Control the map early just like the last round, apply pressure on Banana, then synchronize the speed-up from A2 at the second timing; BIG will never expect us to play like this for two consecutive rounds."

Flying to the second floor was a relatively dangerous tactic, mainly relying on the element of surprise.

But the more surprising it was, the higher the requirements for A2.

Once A2 didn't gain any benefits and was blocked, the subsequent attack would be very difficult.

But neo thought it through thoroughly—

The opponent's economy wasn't high; there should be two long guns on A Site. At this time, a synchronized pincer attack from A1 and A2, as long as the opponent didn't stand at A2, or didn't perform like electronic, they could easily take A Site.

The same tactic made Xu Beifang suspect neo was being lazy.

But facts proved his decision was correct.

Xu Beifang feigned an attack alone on Banana, and he and smooya fought quite dangerously.

But the grenade execute on A Site was vigorous; byali and pasha on A1 coordinated, easily winning this attack at the cost of a 1-for-2 trade.

BIG directly saved their guns and called for a timeout.

After being eaten for 5 points at the start, godb's train of thought was completely seen through by neo; now he had to come up with some new methods.

Even if he couldn't find a good way to break the deadlock, at least letting everyone slow down and letting VP's feel cool down was not bad.

After the timeout, BIG chose not to defend at the back, proactively fighting VP for control of Banana.

They chose the simplest 3B start to fight for Banana, intending to relieve the defensive pressure on A Site by liberating Banana.

smooya didn't live up to the expectations of the BIG crowd, hitting a double kill on Banana twice in a row at the start, reducing the early pressure for the team.

The score also reached 5:2.

Winning two full-buy rounds in a row finally loosened BIG's tense heartstrings.

Losing two full-buy rounds didn't make VP anxious.

The 5:0 start, and in the rounds they won, they generally didn't lose much economy, and their economy was accumulating at a flying speed.

Even after losing two full-buy rounds in a row, after Xu Beifang bought his long gun, he still had a deposit of nearly 6000.

Entering Round 8.

Xu Beifang finished buying his weapons and ammo and looked at his position.

"I'll directly rush Banana this round; being held at the back twice in a row and pushed by smooya to find opportunities, let's change the playstyle."

neo took a breath, thinking quickly in his mind; the feeling of having his tactics broken by smooya's brute force for two consecutive rounds was really uncomfortable.

"byali and pasha follow over to help, I'll throw a window flash from T Spawn, michu go play on the side path alone."

He understood very clearly that the opponent was gradually gaining momentum; if they couldn't take control of Banana next, the subsequent attack would be very passive.

But facing the aggressive defensive counter-attack on Banana, he didn't have any good methods for a while, so he could only pin his hopes on Nice.

"I'll throw a fire at the barrel at the start, and then push forward along the right wall; byali, be careful of someone coming out to draw a prize later."

The preparation time ended, Xu Beifang walked toward Banana, and also had a brief exchange with his teammates, explaining his train of thought and letting his teammates cooperate with him better.

smooya took his sniper rifle to Banana; this round was a double-B start, but he was still prepared to engage the opponent at the front point.

So after communicating, he stood at the Yellow Wall holding the AWP, while tizian stood at the Sandbag flashing back, guarding against the opponent's counter-flash.

After throwing the near-point fire at the start, smooya held the position where the opponent would swing out from behind the Stone Slab, also guarding against the headshot position at the Wood Pile, ready to flick and fire at any time.

He had already understood Nice's tricks on Banana in the previous few rounds; the technique was truly rich, not allowing him the slightest negligence.

The first wave of utility was about to dissipate, smooya became vigilant, ready to turn away from flashes and seize the timing.

But suddenly he saw two fires fly over, one flying straight at him, and the other landing at the Sandbag!

"The targeting is so strong, I can't help you for now." smooya switched to his knife and retreated, reminding his teammates, and then watching the fire the opponent popped, added, "Wait... it seems I can step on the fire to help you trade a shot, tell me immediately if you see anyone."

The Yellow Wall fire wasn't deep, giving him a chance to get vision by stepping on the fire.

"One at the Stone Slab near point!"

tizian stood at the Stone Slab near point holding an angle, and soon heard the opponent's undisguised footsteps.

Xu Beifang peeked out from behind the Stone Slab, the first pre-fire hit the Sandbag, but he didn't see any enemies at the Sandbag, but saw the gun barrel at the Stone Slab near point.

And the slightly flawed Yellow Wall fire also made him vigilant; he successfully back-stepped, holding the Yellow Wall.

"Da-da-da..."

【Nice used AK-47 headshot to kill smooya】

After taking down the teammates who came to trade, Xu Beifang swung out again and pre-fired at the CT at the Stone Slab near point.

"Da-da-da..."

【Nice used AK-47 to kill tizian】

"Two down on B, and there's no flash behind, brothers rush with me!!" Xu Beifang got two kills in a row and directly stepped on the Yellow Wall fire for the last second to break through.

A CT Spawn smoke was thrown, and while running, he opened his mouth to seek help from behind:

"Give me a CT Spawn flash, I'm directly grabbing the CT Spawn retake!"

He stepped on the fire and gave the CT Spawn smoke; the opponent didn't have anyone on the site to trade or counter-utility, which made them even more certain of the CT's position.

Unless there was an old-man position on the site, preparing to ambush them.

But Xu Beifang believed in his judgment.

"I'll give two in a row!" byali threw two CT Spawn pop-flashes at the Coffin, and the others on VP also rushed into Banana like a swarm.

nex had already taken his FAMAS and quickly retook from Link when smooya was killed.

The CT Spawn smoke popped, and he thought he was safe, jumping out of the hallway, switching to a grenade to prepare to explode the crossing and bleed the opponents.

"Ding—"

nex's screen shone brightly!

The sound of gunfire and the death screen appeared at the same time.

【Nice used AK-47 to kill nex】

godb saw this information and could only shake his head helplessly: "Save the guns, this retake is completely unplayable."

The front was broken through again, they had no hope for this retake, saving the guns was the best choice.

Looking at the kill information in the top right corner, smooya complained: "Instant kill upon meeting, are you the AWP or am I the AWP!"

This Banana push was directly pushed flat by Nice alone, although the teammates' utility help was also very critical.

But Nice killed three alone, that was a fact.

This wasn't the first time he and Nice had fought for Banana, and both of their spirits were highly tense now.

It was because if he didn't kill Nice in one shot, the next would be Nice killing him!

That AK-47 was like an automatic AWP, killing him in the first or second shot every time, never giving him a second shot, and sometimes not even a chance for the first shot.

tabsen and godb wanted to save their guns, but how could VP let them get their wish; with the whole team's economy in good shape, they rushed over to confiscate the weapons.

Finally, at the cost of a 2-for-2 trade, VP won this full-buy round.

Watching the replay of the kill, Wanjiqi summarized in the live stream:

"Nice's sense of smell on the offensive end is too sharp; with the help of his teammates' utility in the first wave, he stood at the Stone Slab position, and then pre-fired the Sandbag, after seeing the gun barrel at the Stone Slab near point."

"He very spiritually chose a back-step, and killed smooya first, this is too exaggerated."

"He knew the opponent would trade when he saw this fire, he played too spiritually at the front point!"

"tizian's angle wasn't good for trading either, he even thought the opponent hadn't discovered his position, who knew the pre-fire would come, not even giving him a chance to fight back."

Wanjiqi praised in the live stream and added: "The score is now 6:2, but BIG still has a chance for a full-buy round, it depends on whether BIG can hold on this round; if they can't, the first-half score will be completely pulled apart."

He was also very much looking forward to the appearance of that scene.

smooya emptied everything, buying a half-armor AWP plus a small amount of utility.

"Let's clear Banana with utility this round, otherwise Nice is too easy to come to the front point to find trouble; being forced by utility, the pressure is too great."

Standing at the front point for a double-B start was actually quite dangerous, but this was also BIG's helpless move.

Defending at the back point before, they were often wiped out by VP's A2 speed-up.

Defending at the back point provided too little information and couldn't be defended, so they could only fight and trade at the front point.

And then slowly revitalize through mid-term information.

The countdown ended, and they directly threw a T Spawn smoke.

But the pressure was a bit high, and they neglected this communication, throwing two T Spawn smokes.

smooya jumped up to take a look at the Tree Position, didn't see anyone, and then opened his mouth: "Explode the Recess, didn't see anyone at the Tree Position."

tizian immediately followed by pulling out a grenade to aim, throwing a Recess grenade.

byali, who was in the Recess, ate two grenades directly upon meeting, and his health dropped sharply.

"The pressure on Banana is very high, someone come help me!" byali opened his mouth to ask for help from his teammates, "Throwing a Stone Slab flash is also fine, I'm holding the barrel, I can go out directly."

He only had 20-something health left and didn't dare stay in the Recess.

Xu Beifang heard this and directly pushed through the smoke to prepare to grab a flash for byali.

But at the same time, a middle-segment fire was thrown, followed by a Flashbang, and Xu Beifang retreated fully blinded.

byali saw this scene and knew it was going to be bad: "The opponent is going to clear B!!"

He turned away from the Flashbang, then turned and directly engaged the opponent!

"The pop-flash is here! tizian swung out, but... he didn't clear the angle carefully!! He was counter-killed by the critically wounded byali!"

"byali is still operating, smooya missed a shot, are you also going to break through B Site this round, byali?"

smooya's AWP missed, and he quickly switched to the sniper's good partner P250, firing one at byali's head.

He switched to the AWP, wanting to look at Banana again.

On the other side, Xu Beifang threw a Flashbang toward Banana after his teammate engaged.

Then he jumped out of the smoke to help.

smooya was also fully blinded by the flash and didn't dare to be greedy for the kill, directly jumping back to the back point.

He was a bit unwilling, but helpless; this wave looked like a 1-for-1 trade, but they spent a lot of utility, and instead were in a state of blood loss.

Xu Beifang jumped onto the Tree Position wood pile, played a spring-head, and then pre-aimed at the position where the Yellow Wall was crouching.

After confirming no one was holding the angle, he saw a smoke grenade pop at B Pass.

"The opponent is rotating from Link to B Site!!" byali reminded.

Because the opponent threw two smoke grenades at the start, and the subsequent Banana counter-flash was a self-help flash, it meant it was a double-B start.

Now there was an extra smoke grenade, it could only be a rotation from Link.

Of course, it wasn't impossible that they threw a smoke grenade after the 3B start and rotated back to Link, but the probability was extremely low!

Xu Beifang threw a Flashbang toward B Pass and then turned and ran toward A.

michu in the Boiler Room pre-aimed and shoulder-peeked, directly tearing tabsen's AWP at A1 to pieces!

After getting the kill, the VP members were even more excited, because the next wave was a local 4v1, a righteous gang-up!

michu tore the AWP to pieces, feeling his hand feel hot, and rushed out from A1 to get information.

But the clearing order wasn't that rigorous, and he was directly killed by godb at A2.

"godd took down one A1 Terrorist, but now in this local 1v3, how will he handle this clutch? He still has a lot of utility, can he operate slowly?"

"Throwing a fire at A2, but pasha rushed out the moment the fire was thrown, but godb hit two headshots, pasha only hit one before being counter-killed!!"

"neo came to trade from A1, but didn't trade him!! They gave godb a chance to get a multi-kill!!"

"Nice arrived late, he needs to face a 1v3 clutch, can he trade this? Finally traded!"

"But now he still needs to face a 1v2 clutch, sealed a site smoke, Nice went down to the Pit, chose a seemingly straightforward position, it depends on the next head-on firefight."

smooya and nex huddled together to retake, choosing to retake from the front at A1.

They were very cautious, clearing angles very carefully.

godb performed amazingly on A Site, forcibly saving this clutch; they couldn't let godb down.

The two pushed slowly, confirming that A1 and the Boiler Room were empty.

"Throw a Pit fire from behind, I'll go to the front to get information," smooya said.

Although they had a defuse kit, the time was already past halfway, but they still didn't have any information about Nice, which made them worry.

A Pit fire was thrown, and smooya took his P250 and charged toward the site.

Xu Beifang saw a Pit fire fly over, but he wasn't in a hurry, waiting a second before rising from the bicycle.

A CT silhouette jumping into the site was discovered by him, a spray-down followed, successfully killing him.

【Nice used AK-47 to kill smooya】

"1v1!!" byali said excitedly.

After getting a kill, Xu Beifang also quickly moved left from the Pit, exiting the range of the fire.

Then he directly crouched and held the Grass Car, because he had already seen the CT behind A1.

"Nice's position has been locked, nex is coming to trade, there isn't much time left for him!"

"But can he really trade this?" Wanjiqi issued a question from the bottom of his heart.

In the main perspective of the live stream, the moment Xu Beifang saw the opponent appear, his crosshair unleashed a spray.

Bullets frantically pierced nex's body, blood splattered on the A1 Grass Car.

【Nice used AK-47 headshot to kill nex】

"He can't trade at all!! He didn't even have a chance to fire, he was directly pressed to death by Nice's spray!!"

"Except for being burned by the Pit fire, Nice didn't even lose a single drop of health, making people sigh..."

"This is Nice! That man with maxed-out head-on combat power; rather than dragging the time until the bomb explodes, it's better to kill you all!"
