Chapter 70

After VP completed the comeback in the force-buy round, the economy of both sides was instantly reversed.

But subsequently, Tyloo still performed strongly; in the following force-buy ECO, they almost turned it around for VP with short guns, and finally, Neo relied on a spiritual bomb-defuse to turn danger into safety.

After planting the bomb, Tyloo continued to play a hard-gun round; this time XCC stood out again, hitting three with a Desert Eagle, forcibly turning the clutch into a 1v2.

Fortunately, Michu and Xu Beifang coordinated smoothly, successfully killing XCC and defusing the bomb.

The score reached 3:1.

"Okay, the first key round of the second half is here! The 5th round of this match, and also a great opportunity for Tyloo to chase points." Lao Shuaige said, "Because we see that although VP won the previous few rounds, they lost too many people, and now they basically have no savings. If Tyloo can take this point, then VP will have to ECO in the next round."

VP also knew the economic problem they were facing, so the pressure on them this round was immense.

Pasha looked at the mini-map and began to arrange the tactics for this round:

"Nice, come to Mid with me; later you hide directly behind the sandbags in Mid. Neo, go to B, but if there's a chance, you guys send someone into the pipe to hang out; this way it's good for both Mid and B Site."

"Byali, you defend A alone, remember to defend against rushes."

Listening to Pasha finish the orders, Xu Beifang rushed directly into Mid with an AK-47, casually throwing a smoke grenade toward the T-Mid area, stripping the opponent of their vision.

Immediately after, he hung out behind the sandbags, waiting for the information released by his teammates and the opponent.

"No one is controlling B-Outside, be careful at A Site." Neo said in the voice comms.

According to the early setup, he and Michu pushed toward B-Outside very cautiously.

They successfully got the information that no one was at B-Outside and sent Neo into the pipe.

Pasha heard this situation and still didn't rotate to defend A Site, but moved from Mid to behind the A-Small coil, a position where he could rotate to defend A Site at any time.

Tyloo's map control was orderly; entering the long-gun round, their pushing speed became very slow and very careful.

On this map, Cache, there are still many routines that CTs can do.

Whether it's the anti-rush in A Hall or the AWP pushing back the Blue Door, they are all points that are difficult to guard against.

Fortunately, after careful map control, they didn't find any CTs pushing forward on A Site.

"Should we execute a grenade set directly next? Or what do you say?" Xiaogui asked inside the Blue Door.

Mo watched the smoke grenade in Mid dissipate and stated his thoughts: "Come back and hit Mid, but don't be in a hurry; someone just broke the pipe, maybe someone drilled in, Xiaogui come back and burn the pipe."

"After burning the pipe, let XCC go up the mountain to hold Mid, see if we can catch an opportunity and get the first kill. If we can't catch it, we'll just execute a grenade set on Mid and pinch A."

"Forget it, let XCC look at Mid first, then burn the pipe with utility to clear Mid, and hit a fast pinch on Mid and A-Small." Mo adjusted the order of the offensive.

The Tyloo members immediately began to act.

Combined with a flashbang blinding the Mid sniper position, XCC was boosted up the mountain and got the gun position in Mid.

Waiting for a while, no one appeared in his sniper scope.

Time passed second by second, and Tyloo simply started an offensive.

Pipe fire, Mid smoke, combined with a pop-flash, DD jumped directly into Mid, clearing the ground beneath his feet.

Bntet also jumped down, preparing to trade kills at any time from behind.

Mo, who acted as the cushion, turned back to Mid.

Neo was forced back by the incendiary and had to return to the bomb site.

Xu Beifang and Pasha heard the sound of the grenade execute and were all ready, preparing for the duel.

Pasha held the sniper rifle, opened the scope, and slowly crept to the left to peek, preparing to look at the left side of Mid.

The moment he saw DD, Pasha's AWP flicked slightly, but this shot was too hasty and still missed.

"Nice, I'll bait for you, you shoot!!" Pasha wasn't in a hurry; now they were in a left-right formation, he didn't necessarily have to be the one to hit the person.

As soon as the words fell, a flashbang blinded both him and Pasha, but at the same time, DD and Mo were also blinded.

Tyloo is always so particular; they won't let the opponent enjoy the flashbangs they bought alone.

Xu Beifang hid behind the sandbags and regained his vision, then looked up and saw a Terrorist who wanted to use a spin-jump to bait Pasha's shot.

He immediately sprayed a magazine at his back.

"Da da da……"

【Nice used an AK-47 to kill DD】

Bntet also discovered at this time that there was still an old-six hiding behind the sandbags and immediately turned his head, wanting to counterattack.

But Xu Beifang's speed was faster!!

"Da da da……"

【Nice used an AK-47 to headshot kill Bntet】

Hitting two in a row in Mid, Xu Beifang peeked and didn't see anyone following, so he ran directly to A Site to rotate, where there was also an exchange of fire.

But just as he switched to his knife and walked two steps, the sound of gunfire came from the right rear, and bullets sprayed him to death.

"Mo finally dealt with Nice, but the situation on the frontal battlefield isn't ideal; Xiaogui was dealt with by Byali alone."

"Originally, if this wave in Mid could have been hit, it would have been a Mid-pinch-A, but a 3-Mid formation was caught by Nice alone, and the formation was disconnected." Xiao Bo said, "If Mo hadn't spiritually dodged to the left, I guess Nice could have hit him too."

Mo's dodge did indeed trade for a kill, but it also left XCC on A Site isolated; now the two could only fight on their own.

XCC had an AWP, so he didn't follow the main force from Mid this round, but came to the Blue Door, preparing to keep up with Xiaogui's rhythm.

Once Xiaogui died, he immediately pressed the silent-walk key, preparing to catch a timing where the opponent thought "Blue Door is safe."

A flashbang popped at A-Small, blinding Mo completely.

XCC, who had already touched out from the Blue Door silently, immediately strafed out to help; he saw Byali peeking to the right at a glance, and a P250 rapid-fire killed the opponent.

"Blue Door touched my face!" Byali let out a painful wail.

This timing was too disgusting; the anti-rush that VP had communicated had just begun, and he also saw the blinded Terrorist at A-Small, just preparing to open fire, when he was killed instantly by bullets from behind.

"XCC's kill saved Mo's life; in the 2v3 clutch, Mo is still taking the initiative; he has to trade back the numbers!"

"Mo strafed out taking advantage of the CT-Spawn smoke dissipating; he didn't expect there to be two people in the CT-Spawn direction. Although Pasha's AWP missed, Neo caught him, and now XCC is in trouble."

"Another 1v3 for XCC; he has an AWP, and doesn't even have a good gun position; it's really desperate."

"Pushing out with the scope, he was directly killed by Pasha, no suspense."

Xiao Bo shook his head: "This can't be helped; this 1v3 can only be an active attack, but Pasha also knows there's an AWP here, so he just holds you dead; it's fine for an AWP to peek a rifle, but peeking an AWP with an AWP is just looking for death."

"Fortunately, the bomb was planted, plus the economic compensation from consecutive losses, Tyloo can still play long-gun rounds."

The score reached 4:1, and the VP members were in quite a good mood; having won three consecutive rounds after the comeback, their feel for the game was gradually picking up.

But immediately after, Tyloo directly performed a classic CSGO tactic on B Site—rush B.

Xu Beifang had originally prepared to push forward in the second timing, his whole body was already approaching the forward point, preparing to ask his teammates for a flash.

He was met head-on by the opponent's flashbang and was killed while completely blinded.

Michu on the B bomb site did hold off two, but in a 3v3 retake, a position like B Site is really hard to play.

Finally, this round was ultimately turned around by Tyloo.

"Damn!" Having lost, Xu Beifang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "We won so many rounds in a row, and losing one point means we have no economy."

The others also couldn't hold it in more or less, and the whole room was incredibly happy.

However, after the laughter, they also discovered some gaps between themselves and the world's top teams.

If Astralis had played the previous rounds, they would probably have at least 6,000 if not 10,000 in the bank right now.

The weapons they could retain after winning a round were still too few; they were constantly cycling through death and consumption, so naturally, they had no economy to buy good weapons.

The complacency after gaining an advantage in the early stage was gone at this moment; they finally felt the lack of strength.

The lack of overall strength of this team.

"Gamble a 4A heavy defense; everyone buy a P250 to make a statement, trade one for one if you can." Pasha entered the opponent's thinking; they had gambled a heavy B-Site defense in a previous ECO, and the opponent, facing the same situation, might turn back to trouble A Site.

He thought about it, bought another flashbang, and added: "Michu, you buy a flash too; later we'll anti-rush inside the A Hall, giving one real and one fake anti-rush flash."

The countdown ended, and the VP members arrived at A Site, each finding their own positions.

Pasha kept holding a flashbang behind the Red Box, quietly waiting for the opponent's actions.

Tyloo's default setup this round was very tight, and they hadn't exposed much information in the early stage.

Pasha only threw a flashbang casually into A Hall after the round time reached one minute.

"Nice, go go go, let's get closer." After Pasha threw the flashbang, he silently walked to Xu Beifang's side, arriving at the corner of the A Hall entrance together, waiting for an opportunity.

"Michu, don't be in a hurry; the opponent should be preparing to hit A directly. Later, the moment their utility is thrown, you give the anti-rush flash. Nice, we'll go in together; trade one for one if we can. Anyway, it's a no-armor P250; even if we kill one person, this round is a huge profit."

The previous flashbang was just to confuse the opponent; Michu's flashbang next would be the real killer.

"It's over, is this Pasha also this cunning now?" From the god's-eye view, Xiao Bo felt his scalp tingle, "Tyloo is already very careful facing this ECO; the first wave of holding angles at long range was to prevent your anti-rush."

"Now that the anti-rush is over, they pushed to close range to hold angles; they definitely wouldn't expect VP's second wave of anti-rush to be the real one!"

Lao Shuaige speculated on the subsequent situation: "Now it's time to test Tyloo's details; will anyone still dodge the second wave of anti-rush? If someone dodges, then this wave is harmless, but if no one dodges……"

"Pasha is still waiting, waiting for the moment Tyloo's utility is thrown, catching that offensive posture; this is the experience of veterans."

Michu saw the opponent's utility flying over and decisively took out a flashbang, throwing it directly toward A Hall.

"Flash given!!"

Xu Beifang and Pasha hurriedly turned away and directly rushed into A Hall.

Xu Beifang rushed into A Hall and saw two opponents completely blinded, immediately carrying his P250 to pursue.

Three shots directly killed Mo at close range, and then together with Pasha, they focused fire, again killing Bntet who was blinded at long range.

Two consecutive kills in the top right corner instantly made the hearts of many Tyloo fans off-stage skip a beat.

They wouldn't be turned around by an ECO again, would they…… should…… impossible, right.

Getting two consecutive kills, Xu Beifang reloaded while hurriedly picking up Mo's AK-47.

"Hold the Blue Door, we dropped the bomb here, don't let others steal our flank!!" Xu Beifang shouted loudly.

A flashbang flew into the A Hall entrance, and Xu Beifang hurriedly hid behind cover.

Pasha, however, was careless and turned to dodge, being killed by XCC with one shot.

"1v1 inside A Hall, the situation is still acceptable; although the bomb was dropped inside A Hall, there's only Nice with a no-armor AK. As long as XCC deals with him, there's still a chance for this point."

Once Pasha died, Xu Beifang didn't stay behind the cover in place.

He knew the opponent had an AWP and couldn't let the opponent hold his position dead, otherwise, he wouldn't have a chance.

Carrying the AK, he proactively moved to the right, his footsteps not stopping.

XCC peeked out from the entrance; the AWP was originally pre-aiming behind the right cover, but he didn't expect Xu Beifang to have already come out, so he hurriedly flicked over.

But Xu Beifang had been moving to the left without stopping, so he couldn't hit this shot.

Seeing the opponent miss, Xu Beifang knew the opportunity had come and immediately crouched and sprayed.

Although he had no armor, if the opponent had a sniper rifle, it was irrelevant.

【Nice used an AK-47 to wallbang headshot kill XCCurate】

"Terrorist Hall is gone, there are two more long guns here, you guys can come over to pick up guns!" Xu Beifang shouted excitedly.

He had bet right this wave.

This kind of playstyle of baiting the opponent's pre-aiming is very dependent on the opponent's gunplay.

Once the opponent's gunplay keeps up, his movement this wave is pure feeding.

But if the opponent fails the first wave of tracking, the subsequent part is his turn.

He knew the opponent had an AWP, and it was a bit difficult for him to kill him with one shot.

If he sprayed directly, it might be the limit to leave the opponent crippled; in this situation, he chose to bet bigger; as long as the opponent missed, the next part was his opportunity.

There were still 30 seconds left, and Tyloo fell into silence.

This wave of main force was all annihilated; Xiaogui at the Blue Door couldn't come out, and DD on the back road couldn't make it in time, so they could only save their weapons for a moment.

VP once again completed a comeback against Tyloo in an ECO round.

The Tyloo fans off-stage had painful expressions, unable to believe that this low-probability event of an ECO comeback had happened again!

【What is XCC doing! He can miss this shot?】

【Tyloo has the skill】

【ECO daily comeback, I don't even know what they are playing】

【Nice is really a treasure against Tyloo】

"Tyloo, what kind of plane are you playing!" Lao Shuaige couldn't help but complain helplessly at the commentary desk, "Tyloo's group-up had already laid out the frontal firepower to the extreme."

"As a result, this frontal pure Maginot Line was directly pierced."

"Now Nice dares to kill like this with a P250; I don't even dare to imagine what he dares to do with an AK!"
