Zaiwu failed to win the pistol round and did not place mine packs, which made their economy not very good.
Entering the second round, the team's general economy is around 2,200.
With this kind of economy, the common play style of today's first-tier teams is to strengthen, but after thinking about it, gla1ve made another arrangement: "You can play with a pistol, and everyone will have at least 2,000 in economy left.
Next round I’ll just shoot the spear.”
The main reason for this decision was because of the map structure.
Different from the previous map, Lost City is larger overall, most of its gun ranges are longer, and there are more regular CT positions compared to small towns.
This means that it will be too difficult for them to make a comeback with the full-armor Sand Eagle!
In response, gla1ve directly chose to make one-round economic adjustments and quickly entered the long-gun game.
After quickly entering the long gun round, if IMO they are not willing to update their firearms, they can get a huge firearms advantage in that round and have great hope of scoring points!
Even in the pure E economic adjustment round, gla1ve played very seriously.
He led a large force to fight directly at the bandit's entrance, guarding against the opponent's forward pressure - in fact, it was more because IMO he wanted to make the enemy consume props and thereby lose the opponent's economy.
It wasn't until one minute that he led his team to look for opportunities from the middle.
It is worth mentioning that the result of this round is acceptable to Team A. The electronic brother replaced two of the opponent's people with his double guns, which is not too profitable.
In the third round, which was the first long-range round between the two sides, the commander also began to arrange the team's early actions:
"Although it is a long gun round, there are not many props in this round. The map control is a little simpler. Just give two smoke bombs in the middle. As for the formation, I will start with a 302, or a 301. The details will depend on Ah Dian and Xiaoju.
Our own arrangement. We can also play a little more aggressively on the front. The opponent does not have a big sniper this round. A1 will wait for Broky and we will push it out quietly..."
gla1ve's thinking was clear and he just knocked out two of the opponent's submachine guns, which means IMO that he definitely needs to change his firearms in this round.
But even if they all changed to long guns, the CT economy was not enough for them to carry out a big sniper attack. Combined with the insufficient supply of their own props, they made a targeted play style that was slightly riskier.
"Then let's open 311. Anyway, we are not the main force in the front. We just need to be more careful in the early stage." Electronic Brother replied.
The offensive strategy means that he and Xiao Ju don't need to be too aggressive, and naturally there is no need to team up to make up for the damage.
At the beginning of the round, you don’t need to be too proactive in the middle, so you must have props in the early stage, such as a VIP cigarette and a light cigarette in the middle to block all the opponent’s regular field of vision.
Ah Dian then came to the middle and fired two flash bombs. He simply defended himself with one hand, and the action in the middle was over.
"Broky came to A1 immediately and set up a gun inside A1. It seems that they want to be more proactive this time."
"The first spear round is also a key round. If you lose this round, you will lose money in the next round, and the score in the first half will be slightly wider." After explaining the situation in front of him, Nobita paid attention again.
When it came to the movement of the CT in the middle, "Team A only gave smoke bombs in the middle and did not go deep into the control map, but B's small CT has already pressed out to take a look."
Xie Jian responded: "This means that the information that there is no one in the middle has been known IMO! Next, they will draw all their attention to both sides!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fredie on the upper floor of A2 firing a thunderbolt towards A1.
"As expected, IMO's information reading ability is very fast. Knowing that there is no one in the middle, he started to actively put pressure on both sides." Xie Jian frowned, "Broccoli has eaten a grenade and now only has 79 drops of blood.
With this kind of HP, he will die immediately if he is hit by an M4."
"IMO, will there be any follow-up actions next?"
IMO I started with a basic position of 212. After the smoke burst in the middle, B's 800K took the initiative to step out and get the information.
Although he didn't get all the information, he didn't notice any movement other than props in the middle.
This made him have to wonder whether the bandits really entered the middle lane to control the map.
This round, their position was not particularly close to the middle, so counter-clearance was not a good option, so 800K told their teammates the information and asked them to get the information on both sides.
After ChirsX heard his teammate's speculation, he thought about it and made a subsequent decision: "While there are still smoke bombs on the A2 floor, Abl came over to help us throw an A1 flash, and we both pulled together to take a look at A1."
After hearing the help from his teammates, Abl came from the VIP, took aim at the approximate point, and threw the flash grenade in his hand.
Broky had just quietly pushed out when he was faced with an instant burst flash that completely knocked him out.
"The short box and the bandits upstairs in A2 were pulling in waves. Broccoli had no room to fight back! gla1ve pulled out from A1 and wanted to replenish his gun, but the distance was a bit far. The CT of the short gun actually gave up the gun position.
He wants to ask his teammates on Building A2 to help him recharge."
gla1ve was equally smart. When he saw that the short-gun CT didn't want to fight him, he became suspicious and immediately took a step back.
It was this step that prevented Fredie on the A2 floor from finding an angle to make up for gla1ve in the first place.
The smoke grenades on the A2 floor also dissipated at the same time. Zaiwu did not hesitate to shoot, knocking out Fredie and saving gla1ve's life.
"What a load-carrying gun! If this shot is taken out, the exchange of fire in Area A will be just one for one! And they also confirmed that the short box is occupied by someone, so this time they have an advantage." Nobita said excitedly.
.
The teammates on the A2 floor were replaced, and Abl, who was holding the arch, was forced to turn around and come over to help.
If he doesn't help, the teammates with short guns will definitely be compensated by the load.
But by making up for it this time, his teammates can take a breather and have the opportunity to hit the target.
The load was more stable than he imagined. After successfully replenishing the gun, he did not rush out to find trouble with the short box. Instead, he swayed slightly and directly deceived Abl's position.
It's just that I don't have a big sniper in my hand, otherwise it would be as good looking as yours... Abl thought with some resentment.
He changed a small angle and continued to stand straight on the A2 floor, still wanting to solve the problem through marksmanship.
However, a flash bomb thrown from Building A2 forced him to give up his gun position.
…
"Someone is trying to hold me straight on the platform, so I can't take a shot." Zaiwu explained his situation so that his teammates could judge their own decision.
Upon hearing this information, Broky couldn't help but think of the information that he had been killed, and immediately shouted loudly: "There are only two people at point A now, one is on the diving platform and the other is at the police house. Abl was guarding VIP before."
He did not specifically control his teammates to operate, but just summarized the existing information, which made Xiaoju and others very comfortable.
"Xiao Ju, please touch forward and I'll give them a jungle cigarette to cut off their defense. They probably don't know that you've reached the arch."
A jungle cigarette flew out from Electronic Brother's hand, and Xiao Ju quietly and slowly pushed towards the arch.
He was very detailed and knew that there was someone on the diving platform. He deliberately stood on the left side of the arch. At this angle, the arch was pulled out from the diving platform and it was difficult to search.
When he heard the smoke bomb explode, Abl, who was jumping on the platform, turned his head to look very warily, and then felt relieved.
The opponent's smoke bomb came from Zhongyuan, which means that the remaining enemies of the opponent are still a certain distance away from us.
And he suddenly thought of something, so he turned his head and glanced at the arch, then swayed and peeked.
"boom!"
Deliberately and unintentionally, Xiao Ju had already waited for Abl to make a mistake. With a slight movement, he sent his head to Xiao Ju's crosshairs.
"Xiaoju touched the Abl on the platform, the jungle exploded, and Team A's formation can be deployed!"
"ChrisX chose to take the initiative and knocked out gla1ve while stuck in the headshot position. Now he takes the initiative to protect his A1. This is the wisest choice."
"At the same time, Brother Electronic broke off Xiao B's return defense, and now only A1 and the policeman are left in the CT! Xiao Ju has already moved to the spear, and A1 swung too far, and was directly killed by his shuttle."
"It's 3 versus 1. Did you know that the opponent has already returned to the police's defense? Is Team A so stable in this situation? It actually switched directly to Team B!"
Xiao Ju knew that the other party had probably returned to the police's defense, so he took the initiative to give him a police cigarette, then found an angle and jumped onto the spear, with the crosshair on the police box.
In the end, the CT didn't resist the temptation and jumped up to get some smoke, but was killed by Xiao Ju with a short sweep.
"Xiao Ju made a great contribution this time. He seized a good opportunity and reached out from the arch to kill everyone in Area A." Daxiong praised, "His timing was very clever, and the other party didn't expect it at all.
He had reached the point close to the arch, and then suddenly increased his speed, which also disrupted IM0's A zone defense."
"Once the entire formation is deployed, IMO there is no way to fight. This is actually Team A's idea of stability. Otherwise, Xiaoju and the carriers on Floor A2 can replenish their guns together, and the round can even end faster."
1:2, Xiaoju enjoyed the looks of recognition from her teammates and bumped fists with Ah Dian beside her.
"Xiao Ju Niu." Ah Dian joked, "I thought nothing would happen to us this round, but I didn't expect that we two are the main force."
"Xiaoju killed everyone and gave you to the cow." gla1ve laughed and cursed.
However, Ah Dian was just joking, and no one would take it seriously. After all, they are a team, and even if they attack from the flank, they can't really paddle.
After successfully getting the first point, everyone felt much relieved.
After all, if there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are ten.
Everyone plans to work together to destroy the IMO economy, which is not very prosperous.
But IMO also knows the dilemma they are facing. They lost the long gun round before the economy was well established. In this round, they only had three long guns that they could barely use.
In response to his huge lack of firepower, IMO launched a wave of top-notch unconventional tactics.
ChrisX directly placed all three spears in the middle.
Two people jumped down and one stood up straight in the VIP room.
Famas, who was standing upright inside the VIP, was firing wildly at COSCO. Even though his vision was obscured by VIP smoke, he still pulled the trigger.
All the attention of Team A was attracted to them. Although Broky was wary of enemies who might jump under the VIP, he did manage to kill them.
But I didn't expect that the other party would jump down and two people would jump down.
The hard work of teammates has given 800K a perfect stage.
He first caught Broky, and then shot down the electronic brother who wanted to replenish his gun.
Xiao Ju came up from the sewer and was knocked out by him at a tricky angle inside the arch.
After a wave of firefights in the middle, 800K countered their firearms disadvantage and even gained a huge advantage in numbers!
"800K was so daring. It was outputting back and forth in the middle. After one minute and 30 seconds, Team A directly entered the endgame mode."
What's left for Zaiwu and gla1ve is a 2-on-4 endgame.
gla1ve tentatively found an opportunity in Area B. Although he engaged in a firefight with the opponent, he unfortunately failed to kill him.
Time passed little by little, and gla1ve chose to walk quietly and touch the arch with Zaiwu.
But he didn't know that while he was moving back quietly, Chrisx was also quietly touching the sewer.
After making sure that no one is on the B2 floor, IMO everyone will start transferring points.
In the 2 vs. 4 endgame, Zaiwu played very bravely. He forced the endgame into 1V1, but IMO got the information in advance and returned to defense too quickly, and he was quickly locked in position.
Finally, a fire from JJZ forced him out of the bunker and caught the load at the world level.
1:3, IMO scored another point, and Team A's idea of destroying the opponent's economy was shattered.
"These barbarians!" gla1ve couldn't help complaining. He never expected that IMO they would put two people in the middle to press forward, and one of them kept seducing in the VIP.
IMO, the risk of this style of play is extremely high. If the 800K marksmanship hadn't been used in this wave, and they failed to kill Abl, the result might have been that IMO the gun protection stage would have been entered in 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the round had just started.
Falling into defeat.
But IMO's idea is also very clear. Since we have no economy and only three spears in total, we have to let these three spears work.
If these three spears cannot make any profit, it will be even more impossible to expect Sha Ying to turn the tide.
Facts have also proved that although IMO's idea is radical, it has successfully achieved considerable profits.
Even though the loadout performed well in the subsequent endgame, it still failed to operate.
In some ways, IMO's playing style is more gambling than Icarus's.
Because Icarus's betting strategy is at least within the guaranteed points, but IMO this style of play is completely unpreventable for gla1ve.
The opponent makes on-the-spot adjustments based on its own unique situation. How do you ask gla1ve to defend against this?
"There is no other way. If you have money, you can pick up a fully armored Sand Eagle, and if you don't have money, you can pick up a Sand Eagle without armor. Balance the economy, and remember to save some money to start a big sniper." gla1ve said helplessly.
Losing this long gun round will also cause huge economic losses to them.
Although there are still two people in the team who can wield long spears, the others even have less than 3,000 gold, so it is too difficult to force themselves to wield long spears.
Moreover, the winning rate of Long Gun is not high, and because it just won and then failed, the economic reward is not high now. If you lose, you will even have to use two E guns in a row before you can play Long Gun.
This style of play is too slow, and gla1ve doesn't want to and won't adopt it.
All members play Sand Eagle, and everyone is free to play and find opportunities.
No one in the team suddenly broke out, but Zhiwu's Sand Eagle and Ah Dian's CZ also got a kill, and the result was quite acceptable.
The score officially reached 1:4, and the second spear round was about to begin. Everyone in Team A looked solemn. They had to find a way to score points, otherwise the point difference would be completely widened.
