After a rigorous round of BP, the final map for this game with God was determined to be Nuke, which is Nuclear Crisis.
On this map, Team A has a high winning rate and is relatively confident in playing.
Everyone in Team A adjusted their status and prepared to deal with strong enemies.
After a simple round of sword fighting, they were very unfortunate to lose the sword fighting game. GOD did not show them their talents and honestly chose the defensive side to start.
This is a map that favors CT. After the props can be discarded, the CT side has an even greater advantage. GOD has no reason to actively choose the attacking side.
The starting side was unfavorable, but everyone in Team A did not have much psychological fluctuations. They actively discussed the subsequent tactics and tried to find ways to score more points during the attack.
The A-Team, or VC's Nuclear Crisis, is quite famous.
GOD's courage to release this map shows their inner confidence.
At the beginning of the pistol round, Team A played a slightly complicated tactic as the attacker.
The game started with a feint on the infield, and Xiaoju seized the opportunity to sneak into the pipe.
After the first wave of firefights, the result of the battle was 2 for 2, and then gla1ve and Broky pretended to switch points to fight B, but in fact they were fighting for opportunities for Xiaoju.
Xiaoju, who entered the pipe, directly circled K1, grabbed the side of the bandit next to the main entrance, and killed him. They also gained a numerical advantage.
But after entering the mid-term, the Blue Horse Knight made a wave of very spiritual choices.
He gave up the defense of package point A and blended directly into the pipeline.
If he simply enters the pipeline, then his position movement is just a gamble.
But he called his teammates who were defending on the third floor again.
To put it simply, it is an exchange of the areas defended by the two people in the endgame!
His move doesn't seem to have changed much. AB is still defending alone.
But all the information collected by Team A is now wrong.
Team A, which had the numerical advantage, chose to move quietly and slowly into area A, planning to rely on the three of them as a team to quickly replenish their shots.
But the result was that their entire group was attracted by Bthe1 on the third floor.
Then the blue horse knight took out the pipe and easily took off the two backs.
Although Broky counter-killed the Blue Horse Knight, he was unable to defeat Bthe1 on the third floor.
The game had just begun, and GOD gave Team A a disastrous start with a 2V3 endgame.
The choice of the Blue Knights was indeed an oversight by Team A.
When they first entered the camp, they didn't see the blue horse knight who had opened fire, but because the CT ID on the third floor was different, they subconsciously thought that the blue horse knight was in the camp.
I never expected that the blue horse knight would come out of the pipe. This fatal opportunity allowed the opponent to reverse the game.
In the second round, although they failed to put down the mine bag, they still had 1,200 yuan from the 4 kills in the pistol round, which was enough for them to carry out a strong attack.
All members of Team A were equipped with semi-armored pistols and a small number of props. Instead of speeding up in Area A when faced with trouble like others, they chose to explode the bomb outside at the second time, sealing a line of smoke and firing K1.
The tactics were good, but Xiaoju, who was behind the bandit hall, engaged in an early exchange of fire with the opponent and failed to get a kill, which exposed their offensive information to a certain extent.
This allows GOD to place heavy troops in the outfield and area B in advance. When team A speeds up and enters area B, a group of CTs will be ready.
In the end, relying on Broky's performance, he could only get two kills, and he couldn't even put down the mine pack.
In the third round, after failing to put down the mine bag, Team A was forced to enter ANTI-ECO. Everyone saved their money to play the long gun round, but the team only took out a few scattered Sand Eagles.
Everyone didn't have high hopes for this round, but they didn't expect that exactly in the round when they had no hope, gla1ve suddenly broke out. When his teammates sent three first, he hit a Sand Eagle in the outfield.
Three kills directly reversed the situation.
The information that kept flooding the screen in the upper right corner also shocked the ten players on the field.
However, the Blue Horse Knight once again made top-notch operations to make up for the team's disadvantage.
When his teammates in the outfield were killed suddenly, he took the initiative to push out from the yellow room, get the information about the gangster hall, and then went to the third floor of the gangster hall.
He clearly heard the information about gla1ve and DD returning to defense. With two big backs, the Blue Horse Knight used his top-notch awareness to successfully break the game.
In the fourth round, the game entered the long-range round. Team A immediately chose to control the map in the outfield, not wanting the opponent to get too much information.
There was a hint of smoke at the beginning, and the large force advanced in the outfield, adding pressure little by little.
But as they advanced, Bthe1 took action from K1 and directly knocked out DD who was walking in the front.
At 1 minute and 35 seconds, Team A fell into a numerical disadvantage, and the most serious problem was that its early offensive intentions were exposed.
In this case, gla1ve can only call the team members back. Nowadays, there are not too many manpower and props. With the disadvantage of numbers, the frontal force is not very strong. If they are scattered again, no one will make a highlight breakthrough.
The result is obvious.
Simply, gather the remaining four people together and concentrate all their strength together.
Everyone in Team A returned to the infield and waited, ready to deploy bombs at any time.
Standing on the third floor of the gang, grabbing props, gla1ve turned his head to look at the way to the outfield from time to time. Because of the previous rounds, he always thought that the blue horse knight would suddenly appear in an unexpected position.
Fortunately, no enemies appeared until the time they exploded.
In 40 seconds, Team A launched an offensive with a wave of explosive bombs.
"But GOD has been prepared! The CT on the yellow room directly dodges towards the iron gate, and he comes to counterattack! He crippled Xiao Ju in vain, and the temporary delay made it difficult for the bandits to enter."
"The Blue Horse Knight added incendiary bombs, Xiao Ju was burned alive, and another piece of Iron Gate smoke made it possible to defeat this attack!"
The smoke seal made gla1ve understand that it was impossible to attack area A hard.
"Just turn the iron plate, fast, fast, fast!!" gla1ve shouted in the voice.
The team members also obeyed the orders and prohibitions. When they heard the commander's words, they turned around and walked towards the iron plate without hesitation.
But the tough defenders moved faster than them.
As soon as they turned around and reached the corner, they saw a fire exploding in front of them. All the props had been poured out in the previous wave of attacks, and now there were no smoke bombs to extinguish the fire.
There were still 30 seconds left. gla1ve ran through the information in his mind and could only shake his head: "Save your gun."
We are at a numerical disadvantage, have insufficient props, and are too short on time. If we continue to try, we can only give away these three AKs.
Keeping the spear is the safest choice.
They lost four points in a row at the beginning, which immediately put the pressure on them.
The three members of Team A were armed, but in the fifth round they only had AK47s and could not even purchase props.
Fortunately, the rewards for the losing streak have been filled up, and Xiaoju and DD who were killed still have a certain amount of economy, which can bear the team's prop needs.
gla1ve chose to send AK to DD who was in a better position to use.
There are not many props, and there is a way to play without many props.
Under GOD's strict defense, it is obviously very difficult to find opportunities in the mid- to late-game.
But relying on the early time difference and using only a few props, it is still possible to create a time difference.
They didn't even have grenades to blow up the door in this round. DD, who was in the first position, pushed the door open and rushed in by himself, stepping on the fire and rushing into the package point.
The CT who made the points did not expect that Team A would suddenly speed up. He was still holding the props in his hands and was so frightened that he jumped up.
But this does not prevent DD from killing him.
After getting the first kill, DD kept walking and asked Broky to help him set up the front entrance. He faced the package point and shot and killed the CT on the third floor.
At this time, the time was less than 1 minute and 40 seconds, and DD's two kills directly helped them open a gap in their defense.
DD was not satisfied. He stepped on the fire and went down the pipe, exploring all the way into K1.
The hard-won advantage was cherished by everyone in Team A. They were not in a hurry to enter Area B. At the reminder of Zaiwu, they changed the direction of the iron plate.
Sure enough, with the cooperation of Flash, although they failed to get the kill, they heard the sound of the big sniper's gunfire.
It is obvious that the opponent is holding a big sniper and is preparing to counterattack in the green pass. If there is no counterattack in this wave, the final result may be the same as the previous rounds.
The pressure on the iron plate is sufficient, and DD on the other side also clears the entire K1 to make sure there is no one there.
DD came out of K1 to look at the outfield again. Previously, Bthe1 grabbed his side from K1, but this time he returned it directly!
After three consecutive kills, Team A no longer had any worries and went directly to Pack Point A to release the pack.
In this endgame with a huge disadvantage, GOD did not choose to return to defense, and directly returned to the police resurrection point to save the gun.
After four rounds of suppression, DD's breakthrough greatly boosted the team's morale.
In the next round, the game also entered their rhythm. They controlled the map at the beginning, and the two players cooperated to advance, gaining the numerical advantage, and slowly stretched CT's defensive formation.
The score came to 2:4.
Although GOD has won four games in a row at the beginning, they have always dropped a lot of guns, and the economy is not very good.
If Team A can successfully win it in this seventh round, then they can tie the score.
Although it still has the advantage of terrain, the gap in firearms and the lack of props make it very difficult for GOD to fight in this round.
The rhythm of the round is also under the control of Team A, but the reason why the top players are so powerful is because they can break the rules and make thunder in the flat ground.
The blue horse knight once again pressed forward in the middle of the round. This time Xiao Ju was very alert and did not let him seize the opportunity.
The ultimate goal of Team A is to capture A on the third floor, but the knight on the blue horse used a Famas to hit the third floor under the yellow room, picking up three members of Team A.
One shot hit them all in the face, all of them were headshots!
I was dumbfounded by the explanation.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Ju, who came from the back, had no choice but to look for opportunities to no avail, so he could only save his gun.
In the rounds after the first half, although Team A occasionally scored, most of the victory was taken away by GOD.
The first half ended with a score of 5:10.
Five points does not mean that it cannot be played, but it is the strong point of Team A. The offense only got this score, and they are obviously not satisfied.
Entering the second half, both sides switched offense and defense, and Team A came to a more familiar defensive side.
In the pistol round, gla1ve directly called a 3A heavy defense. Relying on their positioning and the pulling of the gun line, they successfully gained the advantage and finally won.
After winning the pistol round, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the difference between the two sides was still there, it was at least a good start.
In the second round, GOD made a very top-notch move. They purchased five full-armor Galils without purchasing any props! This style of play made many commentators shine.
Fortunately, Team A's handling was more delicate, and GOD did not replace too many heads, and the defensive handling was also very beautiful. In the end, they won the round without any danger.
In the third round, everyone thought that GOD, who had put down the mine pack, would choose ANTI-ECO to adjust the economy so that in the next round, he could fight a long gun round with all guns and ammunition.
However, GOD once again took out five full-armor Galils and used force against the iron plate!
Although Xiao Ju was caught off guard, he calmly handled it and allowed him to be dragged to Zaiwu's defense. In a firefight on the B iron plate, they successfully gained the numerical advantage.
What is left for the Blue Horse Knight and Brother P is a 2 versus 4 endgame.
The fans of Team A are calm and think that the rhythm will belong to them next.
But the GOD duo dominated the endgame with even better performance. An astonishing 2V4 success made Team A the backdrop.
This kind of endgame with a huge gap in numbers is often an important dividing point in the game.
Although the mentality of everyone in Team A did not collapse, they seemed to have lost touch for a while.
In the following rounds, their winning rate against guns began to gradually decrease, making it difficult to gain a local numerical advantage. The balance of victory continued to tilt towards GOD.
In the subsequent rounds, they didn't even get a single point before they were flattened by GOD and taken away directly.
The score was fixed at 7:16.
…
Team A temporarily achieved a 1-1 result in the IEM Imperial City group stage and officially entered the loser group.
The official IEM broadcaster also released the statistics of the 10 players after the game.
Among them, the Blue Horse Cavaliers topped the field with statistics.
"The Blue Horse Cavaliers have been in really good shape recently. Team A actually played pretty well in the first half, but the 2V4 mess in the second half directly shattered their mentality. They didn't score a single point after that."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. GOD's recent strength is still too strong. This loader is also a bit invisible. Relying on the stable performance of Broky and DD won't have much effect."
"But it doesn't matter. If they lose this game, they will not be eliminated directly. They will enter the loser group next. As long as they win two BO3s, they will still have a chance to enter the knockout rounds."
"I can only hope that they can adjust themselves and perform more brilliantly in the next games."
In the live broadcast room of Nobita and Xiejian, the two sent their heartfelt wishes.
The hard power of both sides in this game was 30-70, with Team A accounting for 30%, and GOD accounting for 70%. By choosing Team A's strong map, their winning rate could be improved a lot, but they did not expect to be defeated by their personal abilities in the end.
Now they just hope that Team A can adjust as soon as possible to prevent their emotions from affecting the subsequent BO3 in the loser group.
