Chapter 185: 188. Chapter 185: Ma Xixi: G2's discipline is really high today!

188. Chapter 185: Ma Xixi: G2's discipline is really high today!

After being force-buy comeback, G2 called a timeout to make timely adjustments.

But in the rounds after the first half, the rhythm of the match didn't return to their hands as before.

Vitality's pressure in Banana Road started to become more aggressive, and twice in a row, not long after the start, they were rushed to the front by Xu Beifang alone to get the first kill.

Unknowingly, the opponent's hand had already been played, shox's gambling on sites started to fail, and G2 lost points frequently.

Finally, the first half ended, and the score was frozen at 9:6.

Inside the G2 training room.

The dark warriors no longer had the smiles from before the match, and one by one they turned to look at the IGL with heavy expressions.

As the IGL, shox already had a bitter expression on his face under the influence of emotions.

In the situation where the start wasn't played well, after entering the long gun round, relying on kennyS's performance and his gambling strategy, they successfully secured many points.

This situation once made shox very happy in his heart; for this 'city derby' against his old teammates, the tactics he made according to his own understanding played quite good effects.

Originally this was a quite happy thing, but many tactics that should have been successful were hard-boiledly solved by Vitality's twins with personal ability.

This really makes people feel discouraged!

Malek, nicknamed Mickey Mouse, opens his mouth to encourage the team members:

"The first half was played quite well, except for the occasional clutch not won, which is a pity, the overall tactics and everyone's discipline were very good, just play it back in the second half."

Mickey Mouse coach said this, making G2's group feel a warmth in their hearts.

As members of a first-tier team, they can beat Major champions in the upper reaches, and can also lose to some unranked teams in the lower reaches, a large part of the reason for which is the issue of discipline, and the team members' playstyles are relatively loose.

Hearing him praise today's discipline as good, whether it was the old G2 trio or Jackz and Lucky who came from 3DMAX, they were quite happy.

kennyS also comforted his teammates: "It's just that there were two clutch mistakes in the first half, otherwise we would definitely be leading with a big advantage now."

As the two-minute rest time of the half passed, G2's group put their attention back into the match, expecting to play a better level in the second half.

……

In the second half, the two sides swapped sides, and Vitality came to the defensive side.

Except for apex, the other four bought half-armor.

"Xu Beifang, do you play CZ? I want to set up a combo near the Banana Road barrel." When saying this, apex's head was about that match of nexa.

That Inferno match, they were annoyed by the God of Gamblers' various small tricks.

"I don't play CZ very well, how about you give me a pair of dualies." Xu Beifang suggests.

Engaging in combat in this Banana Road area, compared to the CZ75, he personally prefers the dual-wielding Berettas, this pair of dualies.

apex is somewhat surprised; this antique dualies definitely counts as a niche firearm in professional matches, and it's hard to see it once in 10 matches, never expected Xu Beifang to want to use this.

A pair of dualies is dropped in front of Xu Beifang.

"Later Xu Beifang, you hide behind the Sandbag, and then NBK, you lure and get information at the Yellow Wall corner, if the opponent rushes over, I'll directly give a Yellow Wall flash to counter-clear."

apex explains the thinking in the pistol round in a few words.

Xu Beifang picks up the dualies on the ground, jumping and bouncing to the wall behind the Sandbag, listening carefully to the information inside Banana Road.

"Only one person at the far point of the side path, the opponent should be playing slowly." Not long after, Zywoo's voice comes from the voice comms.

G2 chooses to push slowly, they can only stand by at the far point, waiting for the opponent to make a move.

"Bang!"

As the gunfire of the Glock at the Tree Position rings out, NBK, who was getting information at the Yellow Wall, instantly has blood splashing on his head, with less than 20 health left.

"Tree Position wood pile!!" NBK shouts loudly, quickly retreating from the dangerous area.

The opponent's sudden spring-head directly beat him to low health.

Fortunately, it wasn't a P250, otherwise this wave would have directly sent out the first kill.

"Lucky's shot directly headshot NBK! He has no health and can only go back, leaving Xu Beifang alone at the near point."

"This decision is correct, after all, with only 18 health left, he can't help much at the near point." Ma Xixi says, "It's just that in this case, only Xu Beifang is left struggling alone at the near point of Banana Road."

"If he can't trade for a kill this wave, then B Site will basically collapse!"

Xu Beifang listens to footsteps while turning away from the flash, and small footsteps come from beside the Stone Slab.

He isn't in a hurry, waiting for the second footstep to appear, before shouting: "Throw flash, throw flash!!"

Dou Dou had already grabbed a flashbang at the Coffin long ago, and immediately threw the flashbang out.

"Boom!"

The flashbang is thrown from above the Coffin, finally exploding on the eaves of the Yellow Wall, releasing intense light, fully blinding the two Terrorists at the near point.

And the fly head, who had been shrinking behind the Sandbag, finally makes a move!

Xu Beifang pulls out horizontally, sees two Terrorists covering their eyes, and the dualies fire frantically!

"Da da da da da da..."

In close-range combat, in the pistol round, there is no firearm whose output frequency can compare to dualies.

Xu Beifang isn't in a hurry to headshot either, quickly pulling the crosshair onto the opponent's body, frantically tapping!

"Xu Beifang takes one, runs and shoots to take the second one, dualies trajectory is so stable!!"

"bodyy in Banana Road comes to trade, and is also sprayed down by Xu Beifang, Xu Beifang doesn't even need to care about aiming, just tap and spray water!"

"How come someone bought a submachine gun in the pistol round again!"

Xu Beifang holding the dualies and spraying "da da da", directly makes Ma Xixi happy.

At this time, he also remembers the scene of Xu Beifang buying a submachine gun in the pistol round during the performance match, and can't help but tease.

A wave of three kills in a row, Xu Beifang is already high, carrying the dualies and actively peeking at Banana Road.

"Dualies, how to say, can you continue to kill?"

"Pity, kennyS's pistol still has a saying, one shot directly headshot Xu Beifang, but Xu Beifang's three kills have already completed his task." Old Handsome says.

A combo in Banana Road, although Xu Beifang ate resources, he traded for three, what else does Vitality have to be harsh about?

"Jackz gives a Police Spawn smoke grenade, G2 feels like not playing those fancy things, now knowing there is a low-health one at B Site, and one without armor, hitting here is definitely right!"

"NBK hides in the Three-Box, playing a hide-and-seek game with apex, this wave depends on how apex operates."

NBK actively peeks out from the Three-Box, sees someone at the platform, and immediately fires.

But tapped one shot, didn't hit the head, the opponent's muzzle was aimed at him.

"Pop!"

Just one bullet hit his body, didn't even need to hit the head, the low-health NBK was already gone.

apex behind the Three-Box isn't in a hurry, he is now gambling on G2's discipline mistake, not clearing this position of the Three-Box.

But as the footsteps gradually approach, apex knows he gambled wrong and can only forcibly pull out to fight.

"Da da da da da da..."

That submachine gun in the pistol round, this time it returned to kennyS's hands.

apex ultimately didn't beat him.

The system notification sound rings, and the time above his head becomes the countdown of C4.

Zywoo and RPK have already retaken to the Police Spawn.

The two choose to collect information first, RPK quickly enters the Church, and Zywoo waits in the Long Corridor for the smoke grenade to dissipate.

But as the Police Spawn smoke dissipates, they don't see anyone peeking out.

Zywoo starts to push toward the platform sneakingly, finding no one at the platform.

"Might be Three-Box and Dead Point." apex reminds.

This point has no defuse kit, Zywoo and RPK can only speed up their operation speed.

The result is as expected, they are indeed performing crossfire at the Three-Box and Dead Point.

But the problem is, that pair of dualies became a fatal weapon in this close-range combat!

【Zywoo killed Jackz with a USP headshot】

【kennyS killed Zywoo with dual-wielding Berettas】

【kennyS killed RPK with dual-wielding Berettas】

"Holy crap, these dualies feel so cool to play!" After winning the pistol round, kennyS exclaims.

This thing is relatively niche in professional matches, generally no one uses it, and he never expected that picking up a pair of dualies could produce such an exaggerated effect.

……

Being taught a lesson by dualies at this distance is a very normal thing.

"Pity, pity!" Vitality's group encourages each other.

This point was won by dualies and lost by dualies.

Relying on dualies and counter-clearing to gain a numerical advantage, but being countered by dualies in the clutch, can only say it's a bit of a pity.

After losing the pistol round, Vitality chose a force buy, but it didn't produce a very good effect.

G2 controls the map methodically, making it hard for their short guns to find opportunities.

"After losing the pistol round in the second half, the score was directly tied." Ma Xixi frowns and says, "Today might be a carnival for G2 fans, their performance today, whether attacking or defending, is quite something."

G2 fans in the live stream feel a thud in their hearts.

If these words were said by Wanjiqi, they would accept it gladly, and could even laugh very happily.

But who is Ma Xixi? Several professional judgments have been stable output, rolling many big red packets for the water friends in the live stream.

The praise from Ma Xixi makes them feel that the situation seems not good.

……

The score is tied, and the match enters the first long gun round of the second half.

Except for Zywoo who bought a half-armor AWP, the others are all full-armor AUGs plus a small amount of utility.

Originally, they could save 350 to buy one more flashbang, but G2's submachine guns and Galils from the previous point haven't been updated.

A helmet might give them a chance to counter-kill.

But after buying full-armor AUGs, Vitality doesn't have much utility in their hands.

"Let's do a 3B opening first, if the pressure at A Site is big, I'll go back." apex says, "Later Xu Beifang, I'll boost you onto the Three-Box, if the opponent wants to hit B, just let them in and fight."

Not much utility, wanting to fight for Banana Road is impossible, can only rely on the AUG's holding advantage to operate.

And this happens to be their strength!

According to the opening arrangement, Xu Beifang is boosted onto the Three-Box by his teammates, and then starts his idling career.

apex holds the B-pass direction directly with an AUG at the Coffin, temporarily he doesn't need to do any movements.

And NBK is near the One-Box, preparing to trade after Xu Beifang fires.

"Xu Beifang's deterrent at B Site is still quite large, G2's clearing is very careful, guarding against Xu Beifang's possible counter-clearing and grabbing opportunities."

"Confirmed no one at the Sandbag, they aren't in a hurry either, but returned to the mode of one holding the angle and one turning away from the flash."

"No movement from both sides at B Site, Jackz and the others at A Site are sealing the Connector smoke, and then using flashbangs to get information at A1, directly eating up control of the middle."

Old Handsome suddenly reads something, somewhat surprised: "G2 is actually very bold, they are pushing for map control with two people at the same time, not as conservative as we said, but quite aggressive."

apex catches the timing at the Coffin, stands up after a few seconds, and sprays directly with the AUG.

"Da da da..." "Bang!"

【shox killed apex with a Galil headshot】

"Ouch~" Ma Xixi is somewhat surprised, "This shox's gunplay is so accurate! Insta-killed apex after firing later! And he has a Galil in his hand, this at least needs one body shot and one headshot, shox is accurate!"

apex was insta-killed by his old friend, NBK behind the One-Box quickly countered with a smoke grenade, avoiding a wave of speed-up from the opponent.

However, at the same time, Zywoo still found an opportunity at A Site.

He stood at the Connector rear point holding the AWP, caught bodyy sneaking, and took him down with one shot.

Immediately after, Zywoo ate a flashbang from the Connector, blinding him.

And then a Connector rear-point smoke grenade exploded, trying to block his vision.

It's just...

Such a big gap in the Connector, what does the opponent want to do?

"The opponent might be Connector-pincering B, you B Site pay attention." Zywoo feeds back the information, "I can still watch the Connector for now, RPK, you hold the Pit and A1 well, if there's a situation, report it quickly."

"Understood."

Hearing his teammate's analysis, Xu Beifang and NBK also perk up, starting to prepare to meet the enemy.

"This Connector rear-point smoke is fizzled, then G2's effect of wanting to feint should not be achieved."

"However, it at least dragged Vitality's two members at A Site, a 2v2 head-on, the chance is still quite big."

"G2 started a wave of bomb explosion in Banana Road." Ma Xixi suddenly noticed a red object on the mini-map, "But the bomb is still at the Terrorist home!! What's the situation with G2??"

"Don't bring the bomb after a wave of bomb explosion?" 【

Ma Xixi currently has the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Ah! Does G2 not want to play anymore?"

G2's offensive wave was vigorous and grand; Xu Beifang stood on the Three Boxes, basically not affected by the flashbangs, and quickly caught one with his AUG.

Then, he sprayed down the second Terrorist, who was low on health.

Just as he was considering whether to jump down, the opponent suddenly seized the timing and rushed out, headshotting him directly with a pre-fire.

NBK was hiding at the Dead Point, originally intending to stay hidden to stall for time.

But G2's explosive grenade usage was very solid; the One-Two Box fire, Dead Point fire, and Three Boxes fire were all burning.

He had no choice but to rush out from the smoke grenade.

Yet he was immediately caught by Jackz.

Zywoo, who was at the Connector, rotated back very quickly; the moment NBK was killed, he had already arrived at the Long Corridor and jumped out, wanting to occupy the Church.

As long as he held the Church, the subsequent retake wouldn't be too passive.

A 2v2 clutch is still acceptable.

But he didn't expect that just as he jumped out of the Church, he saw a shadow appear on the One Box.

"Da-da-da..."

【KennyS headshot and killed Zywoo using an AK-47】

The moment he got the kill, KennyS excitedly said: "It's 2v1, plant the bomb quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Jackz immediately looked for the bomb on his teammate's corpse, but didn't see it at first glance. He glanced at the mini-map and felt a sense of suffocation—the C4 was still on the bicycle at T Spawn!!

"Did no one bring the bomb?" Jackz asked, puzzled.

"I thought you guys would bring it?"

"I was thinking about utility, I forgot."

The frontal assault wave was too focused; everyone was thinking about what the opponent's B Site positioning was and where to look after the explosive grenades.

As a result, not a single person brought the bomb.

"WTF!!" KennyS was stunned; he had gotten a triple kill in this breakthrough, clearing the B Site and the retake, only to find his teammates didn't bring the bomb.

"Run towards CT Spawn!!"

With less than 5 seconds left on the clock, this obviously wasn't enough time for them to return to T Spawn, grab the bomb, and rotate back to B Site to plant.

As the in-game leader, Shox still made the correct judgment at the critical moment.

"Look towards CT Spawn, kill RPK, and we can still win this round!"

The Terrorists' way to win, besides the C4 exploding in the bomb site, is to kill all the opponents.

Now that the opponent only has one member left, they just need to kill the last one, RPK!

KennyS realized this after hearing him and immediately followed Jackz, running toward CT Spawn.

"They finally realized the bomb wasn't brought, and G2 is rushing directly to CT Spawn to find someone, but RPK has just entered the Library; they simply can't find him in time!" Ma Xixi can no longer understand the match.

He has been casting for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such an abstract scene.

The attack was won, the bomb wasn't brought, and Vitality picked up a free round victory.

Zywoo being killed left the Vitality voice comms somewhat silent.

Originally, the 2v2 situation had decent winning odds, but with Zywoo being insta-killed, RPK still wanted to try, but the lack of information and the numerical disadvantage made this clutch difficult to handle.

They could only silently cheer for RPK in their hearts.

RPK hurried along, and as the time hit zero, they instantly heard the system prompt:

"Counter-Terrorists win!"

"Ah!!"

The Vitality members were stunned; the emotions triggered by this sudden victory were disjointed.

"G2 didn't plant the bomb??" Xu Beifang was somewhat surprised.

RPK had already walked to the CT Spawn point; upon hearing this, he peeked out and saw the two Terrorists retreating.

RPK immediately crouched and sprayed a magazine.

【RPK headshot and killed Jackz using an AUG】

【RPK headshot and killed KennyS using an AUG】

"Holy crap! The opponents are broke now too!" Xu Beifang couldn't hold it in when he saw this scene, "G2 didn't bring the bomb at all!"

In an instant, low laughter erupted throughout the room, and later, no one could hold it back; the laughter echoed through the entire room.

"Ku-ku-ku-ku..." Zywoo was beside him, looking like he was having the time of his life, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

It can only be said that G2 knows how to put on a show!

This scene was even more of a "show" than the one he and Nice did in the performance match!

"Well, not only did G2 not bring the bomb, but they also had two long guns taken by RPK after time expired, and their economy is going to explode next round." Ma Xixi was speechless, "I just praised G2 for their good discipline, now I can only say, damn!!"

【Hahahaha】

【Master Ma is such a jinx!】

【The whole Vitality team is laughing their heads off】

【After Xixi praised them, G2 suddenly felt like the bomb had poop on it】

【Too ridiculous, they didn't realize the bomb wasn't taken until the attack was won】

【I thought we were going to lose this round, but it's a pleasant surprise】

There were also G2 fans in the live stream complaining.

【Holy crap, G2 is acting up again!!】

【Are you really incapable of playing a normal game?】

【What is all this!】

【Giving away one round isn't enough, you have to give away two long guns too, G2, you're something else】

【Is the pressure that high?】

G2 called for a timeout again, and this time, Milaoshu wasn't in such a good mood.

As the coach, he saw this round's attack with his own eyes and felt anxious in his heart.

"What are you guys playing at!! You didn't even bring the bomb, do you even want to win the match?"

"Adjust your mindset! If you're already at a loss when facing Vitality, how are you going to play against top-tier teams like Astralis and Liquid in the upcoming major tournaments?"

Not bringing a bomb on an attack is a scene you'd barely see once in 10 games on the ladder.

He didn't expect such a scene to appear on G2, on a professional team!

No need to think; through the screen, he could feel the fans' dissatisfaction with them and the mockery from bystanders.

Because no matter which perspective you look at it from, not bringing the bomb on this attack was extremely stupid!

He even wanted to resign from his job as G2 coach and tell KennyS and the others: "Don't say you're my students when you go out!"

The G2 members pursed their lips, speechless; this round was indeed their problem.

Tactics, offense, and trade-kill efficiency were all fine, but a major problem occurred in communication.

Not a single person brought the bomb, and after failing to find the opponent, they wanted to save two long guns, but didn't expect to be caught by RPK on a timing.

This instantly caused G2's overall economy to collapse.

KennyS and Jackz's two long guns couldn't be saved, and there was no loss bonus compensation.

G2's economy collapsed instantly!

Shox comforted the others: "Let's try a force buy, the opponents lost four long guns last round, their economy this round isn't great either."

He could understand through a simple calculation that Vitality only had 3250 in round win money plus kill rewards.

Except for RPK, the average economy was only 3500.

So the long guns this round definitely wouldn't be many.

Although they only had three long guns to use, they could still try to find an opportunity against Vitality.

But under Apex's adjustments, Vitality combined 3 AUGs, one FAMAS, and one MP9.

Although they didn't have much utility overall, they fully utilized the AUG's advantage in long-range duels, directly disgusting G2.

They only had three long guns and two armorless Glocks, which couldn't pose much of a threat to Vitality at all.

In the following rounds, G2 also suffered from the economic impact of that round and was forced into an eco round.

It wasn't until Vitality reached their 12th round win that G2 finally saved enough money to play a long gun round.

KennyS, who had been holding back for a long time, finally pulled out his sniper rifle; he played quite aggressively this round, pushing strongly through Mid, catching Zywoo who was peeking for information, and later killed RPK in the Pit during the attack. Although Apex killed two while holding the bomb site, he was still traded by Jackz, and they forced back the opponent's retake with utility.

Having one round taken back by G2, Vitality didn't feel much pressure.

The impact of the round where G2 didn't plant the bomb meant they hadn't lost many guns for several rounds; their current economy was quite good, and their margin for error was maxed out.

And G2's economy was still in a strained state; as long as they didn't let G2 plant the bomb, Vitality would enter a rhythm of scoring consecutively again.

20/77—The prototype for this "not planting the bomb" incident is actually Liquid, but I think it fits G2 in a different way, so I adapted it.
