HP? Asked, it's 100!

"How about I try my luck with a lottery draw?" iM, holding a Desert Eagle, tentatively looked at Zero beside him. "I'm unarmored Desert Eagle, no need to save it. I'll take one shot. If I hit that sniper, we can still fight. If not, you two save your guns."

Zero nodded decisively. "Okay, go ahead."

Five seconds later...

[Fnatic.Aether eliminated GL.iM with an AWP]

The remaining two players from GL could only reluctantly save their two fully armored Galil ARs.

"Aether, it's him again," Ma Xixi couldn't help but exclaim. "First, he got an ace, and then he held an angle to take down the Desert Eagle that tried to peek."

"Just now we said Aether's positioning was a bit risky, but he didn't miss his shots."

"He did it, two shots for three kills, directly repelling the remaining two Terrorists."

PGL's director immediately gave a close-up shot of Qin Feng, who was holding the AWP in the sniper's nest.

[Aladdin director.]

[Is poizon going to be unemployed so quickly after signing?]

[Aether! Aether! Aether!]

"Nice," mezii shouted directly in the training room.

The remaining two Terrorists didn't dare to engage the CTs in a gunfight and retreated to the innermost part of their spawn to save their guns.

"Should we go collect their guns?" KRIMZ from outside K1 was eager to try.

"No need, two fully armored Galil ARs together are only 2800, and they'll get 2400 if they die anyway." As the team's in-game leader, ALEX was much calmer. "This way, they'll either force buy next round or someone won't have full utility next round."

In fact, ALEX's judgment was very accurate.

To match the two saved fully armored Galil ARs, the GL players still chose to buy guns.

However, because they didn't plant the bomb in the second round, three of them, excluding Zero and RuStY, only bought Tec-9s with some utility.

They naturally wouldn't challenge Aether's big sniper rifle at the connecting metal plate anymore.

Another fast push towards A site's metal door, but this time poizon, who was guarding the A bombsite, was prepared. He sprayed wildly at the main entrance, killing three Terrorists caught in the smoke from the door.

The two TEC-9s that came out of the yellow door to try and get a follow-up kill were also instantly eliminated by ALEX, who peeked from behind the bombsite pillar.

GL's plan for a quick push through A site's metal door was quickly declared a failure.

The score became 3-0.

In the fourth round, the Terrorists chose a pure ECO and smoked their way down the pipe to plant the bomb.

Although Fnatic won the round with a zero-death, zero-damage victory, iM still managed to plant the C4 before falling, giving the Terrorists some economic advantage.

In the fifth round of the first half, it was finally GL's first full buy, long-range gun round.

"I'll buy a sniper rifle and go to the outer area." Seeing that the team had plenty of money, poizon threw his M4 to mezii, who was still holding an MP9, and bought an AWP at his own expense.

"Okay, you can snipe outside or under the third floor, and Aether's sniper rifle stays at the metal plate," ALEX nodded. "The opponents don't seem to have many tactics. As long as they don't overwhelm us immediately, it will be difficult for them to enter the bombsite."

Although Fnatic now had a 4-0 advantage, ALEX remained very cautious.

Nuke was a map that heavily favored the CTs, and ALEX even hoped that Fnatic wouldn't drop a single point on defense.

"We can see that Fnatic's formation is very stable," Ma Xixi sighed as he looked at the minimap. "Although poizon bought a sniper rifle, he's not paying attention to the outer area at all and is squatting under the third floor."

"Now Fnatic's outer K1 is essentially given to GL."

"They are confident that KRIMZ, hiding in the outer pit of B bombsite, can hold off GL's push from outside K1."

"However, GL, having lost four points in a row, seems a bit anxious. They didn't choose to use fire to force out the CT in the pit position, but instead chose to rush directly."

"One for two. Although he was headshotted and finished off by eraa's AK, KRIMZ had already established an advantage for Fnatic."

In the Fnatic training room, KRIMZ scratched his bald head sheepishly.

"Sorry, I actually hit two shots that I could have retreated from, but I felt my aim was hot and wanted to keep going."

ALEX and the others naturally wouldn't blame him.

"It's okay, killing two is enough." Seeing that K1 had fallen, poizon rushed back from under the third floor to connect. "Aether, I'll help you hold the connector, you go guard the B bombsite."

As long as Aether could pick off an enemy at the bombsite from the metal plate, Fnatic would have an infinitely winnable 4v2 retake.

"Okay." Qin Feng quickly assessed the situation and walked towards B bombsite with his knife out.

As long as he could hold off the enemies coming out from one side, Fnatic would have a 4v2 retake.

The advantage was huge.

However, the Terrorists came out faster than he expected.

GL didn't even use smoke or fire to block the metal plate and rushed into the bombsite simultaneously with three players.

Control room, double doors, yellow door – enemies appeared from all three positions.

Qin Feng instinctively flicked away from the enemy behind the control room glass, but was also shot in the leg by the sniper rifle from the double doors.

"Two people are in the bombsite."

"I've only got 7 HP left, wait for you guys to rotate back."

"We've got five guys, we can flank from anywhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng retreated directly to the sniping position behind the metal plate, covering the enemy who might rush out directly from the bomb site.

"Wow, how did he flick that shot?" Ma Xixi's tone was exaggerated. "The guys at the double doors pushed out first to draw Aether's attention, then let the Terrorists in control room peek to trade the kill."

"But Zero, who was in the control room, was met with a sniper bullet flicked by Aether."

"eraa's follow-up was timely, but unfortunately, he only managed to tag the leg."

"Aether has 7 HP left and retreated directly behind the metal plate."

"This is a 4v2 retake. The Terrorists don't have any utility left to stall for time."

eraa, who had just planted the bomb, naturally knew how difficult this clutch situation was.

If Fnatic's players managed to flank them, they would be met with a crossfire of 2v4.

In this kind of clutch situation, eraa had to do something.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the double doors, ALEX, who had already descended from the pipes, had him lined up.

4v1.

iM, alone at the bomb site, could only trade poizon, who had peeked from behind the metal plate, before being instantly taken down by mezii, who pushed through the yellow door.

The score was locked at 5-0.

Just as Qin Feng and his teammates high-fived, a message suddenly appeared on the in-game chat.

GL.erra: HP?

Qin Feng thought for a moment and replied to erra.

Fnatic.Aether: ME?

GL.erra: Yes.

Fnatic.Aether: 100.

After finishing, Qin Feng looked at the sniper rifle in his hand again.

Well, as long as the sniper is alive, he has the capital to pull off a one-shot kill.

It's reasonable and logical for him to say he had 100 HP, right?

Meanwhile, erra on the other side looked at his own hands with a sense of existential doubt.

Did he not even manage to snipe that shot?

Although the players on the field didn't know their opponents' HP, the commentators in the live broadcast were perfectly clear.

Ma Xixi almost burst out laughing, "This Aether is too devious. He clearly only had 7 HP left but told erra he had 100 HP. Aether is trying to mess with erra's mentality."
