16-2, First Battle Victory!

This match was simpler than Qin Feng had imagined.

In the remaining 10 rounds of the first half, although GL made some tactical adjustments targeting Qin Feng and poizon's sniper rifles, they still found it difficult to break through Fnatic's double-sniper defense.

The only two points they managed to secure were by using explosives to break through the CT defense in the A Site bombsite.

At the end of the half, the score was locked at 13-2.

"My god, is Aether really a rookie who's only been playing professionally for three months?" Ma Xixi couldn't help but admire Qin Feng's half-time stats of 19-4. "Most of the time, Aether was holding B Site alone, but even knowing Aether was a solo B sniper, GL still chose to rush A with explosives."

"Honestly, the GL players' choices weren't wrong. Aether's performance in the previous few rounds was just too explosive. They were afraid that if they continued to play B Site, Aether would keep racking up kills." Mo added thoughtfully.

[Fake prodigy: Z4kr. Real prodigy: Aether.]

[19-4? He's practically sacrificing his life to help Fnatic.]

[This is so much better than Tyloo, right? What can Tyloo do besides Glory?]

[Let's not put one down to praise another, there's no need. Tyloo wants to win too.]

The mood of the viewers in the live stream chat was completely lifted from yesterday's gloom.

They had previously worried whether Aether could adapt to the European competitive pace, but Aether had proven his strength with actual actions in Fnatic's first match.

Of course, even with an 11-point lead, Fnatic's five players remained calm.

A 13-2 score is not a guaranteed win.

"For the second half pistol round, we'll speed up and rush A." The in-game leader ALEX looked at the team's support player, mezii. "mezii, buy a molly for Yellow House, then two flashes, and we'll push out from Yellow House and the Iron Door."

There weren't many tactical options for the pistol round, and rushing A with explosives was undoubtedly the most logical choice.

"Okay, I'll buy a smoke for the main entrance and then give Aether a TEC-9." KRIMZ said, spending his 800 dollars.

If Peppzor were still here, he would most likely have given the gun to poizon.

But now...

Who could blame them when Aether was playing so well?

Qin Feng naturally picked up the TEC-9 at his feet without hesitation.

The preparation time for the second half ended. Except for mezii, who climbed up to the second floor, the rest of Fnatic's players crept silently to the outside of the Terrorist spawn, holding angles and waiting.

At 1 minute and 28 seconds of game time, mezii threw a molotov directly onto the roof of Yellow House, and Fnatic's attack horn sounded.

Qin Feng, in Yellow House, used the flashbang thrown by mezii to rush forward and instantly kill iM, who was guarding the pillar, breaking the site.

Although RuStY, hiding behind the A Site Iron Door, managed to kill Krimz who had just smoked off the main entrance, he was quickly killed by Qin Feng, who had already taken control of the A bombsite.

The situation instantly became 4v3.

Seeing that eraa at the main entrance couldn't inflict substantial damage on the Terrorists in the bombsite due to the smoke, Zero on the third floor had no choice but to rush out and try to trade kills with the Terrorists in the bombsite. Unfortunately, poizon, guarding the bombsite, gave him no opportunity.

Picking up the USP from the bombsite, poizon instantly headshotted Zero on the third floor of A Site.

"No need to look for anyone else."

"We're 4v2, we win even if they hide."

"I'll hold the smoke at the main entrance. If I see anyone, we'll all push out together to trade."

ALEX's voice could be heard continuously in the team's voice chat.

"Mhm," Qin Feng responded calmly.

As the smoke at the Archway dissipated, two red dots instantly appeared on the minimap in the direction of the main entrance.

Qin Feng, behind the pillar at A bombsite, and mezii at the main entrance simultaneously pushed out, forming a crossfire with ALEX in front of the A Site bombsite.

[Fnatic.ALEX used Glock-18 to kill GL.eraa with a headshot]

[GL.isak used USP to kill Fnatic.ALEX with a headshot]

[Fnatic.Aether used TEC-9 to kill GL.isak]

[T Side Victory]

At this moment, Samuelsson, Fnatic's coach watching the live stream outside the training room, excitedly clenched his fist.

14-2. The CTs were out of money, and Fnatic was likely to win the match 16-2.

"Let's force buy," iM said, sighing as he looked at Fnatic's 14 points.

The score difference was too large. Even though each CT player only had a little over 2000 dollars, they could only afford to force buy.

If they ECOed on match point, the score would become 15-2.

Chasing 13 match points was clearly not something they could accept.

GL, with a mix of MP9s and Desert Eagles, ultimately chose to go all-in.

However, facing Fnatic's long-range weapons and Scout Rifles held from outside, GL players' short-range weapons not only failed to kill anyone but instead became 5 $300 kills for Fnatic.

The final round was, as expected, without any suspense.

Fnatic's five rifles gave GL's Desert Eagle no chance for a lucky draw. A bomb rush on Site A signaled the end of the match.

16-2.

Fnatic now holds a 1-0 record in the European Major qualifiers.

The PGL official broadcast also directly presented the post-match statistics for the ten players.

Qin Feng's 26-2-5 (K-A-D) stats were unmatched on the server.

"So strong, Aether."

"Aether's sniper rifle really taught GL a lesson this game. I wonder how Fnatic's next opponent will choose to counter Aether's AWP."

"Right now, Fnatic's double sniper tactic looks very successful, giving off a vibe similar to Fallen and coldzera back in the day."

"It's just hard to say how Fnatic's offense will play out, since they likely won't use double snipers on attack."

"If poizon takes the offensive sniper, wouldn't it be a waste for Aether to use a rifle?"

While Ma Xixi and Mo were intensely discussing with the viewers in the chat, everyone in the Fnatic training room was incredibly excited.

"Aether, are you ready with your sticker autograph design?" KRIMZ even teased Qin Feng, "I believe Chinese fans will definitely buy one of your gold stickers to put on your AWP scope."

"Don't get too excited, we still have another match soon." ALEX appeared much calmer.

Since the first two rounds of the PGL Swiss system were BO1, all participating teams had to play two BO1s on the first day.

"Our opponents are matched by BU, so we won't have opponent information until the first round is over," Samuelsson added as he walked into the training room.

"Alright, everyone can practice their aim and keep their feel for the game," ALEX directly opened AIMBOT, "Once the map is out, Samuelsson and I will discuss the map BP."

Qin Feng, who had just exited the game interface, looked at the light blue screen in the upper right corner of his vision.

After defeating GL, he finally received a system notification that hadn't appeared in a long time.

[Congratulations on your first victory in a CSGO Major level match. The system will reward you with 1000 Dream Points.]

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Major Launch. You have received one free ten-pull.]

"A free ten-pull..." Qin Feng looked at the system prompt and directly opened the point draw interface.

The 800 Dream Points required for ten wishes had been replaced with free.

"Hope I don't get anything bad," Qin Feng silently sighed before decisively clicking the draw button.
