So Fast a Sniper!

"mezii, don't let them slip through. Just hold the bomb site from the sniper's nest. poizon is already holding A-door, they can only come back through A-short or CT spawn," ALEX quickly reminded, glancing at mezii's health.

However, compared to ALEX's caution, poizon at A-door made a seemingly bold decision.

They decided to flank through A-short from A-door.

The reason for poizon's decision was simple.

Eternal Fire was already at a numerical disadvantage during the retake, and it was highly probable that the CTs would choose to group up for the retake.

Watching poizon flank, Wan Ji Qi in stream room 6657 suddenly focused.

In a 4v3 situation, poizon's move was a bit too daring.

"Hey, we can see that it's clearly the A site, but poizon, who is at A-site, didn't choose to hold directly from the A-pit."

Wan Ji Qi's voice suddenly became much louder.

"What? He chose to flank through A-door to A-short!"

"Will the CTs at A-short notice?"

"They didn't notice. Eternal Fire spent too much time clearing A-short, they were too slow."

Having flanked behind, poizon gave Eternal Fire no more chances.

Although poizon was quickly taken down by XANTARES with a shot from near the ninja box at A-short, XANTARES was also quickly locked onto and eliminated by the remaining Fnatic players.

The score became 1-0.

In the second round, Fnatic, having won the pistol round, immediately went for a fast push through A-door.

KRIMZ, in the first position, took A unharmed with the help of a flashbang, but poizon behind him was only left with 30 HP from the blast.

"There might be someone hiding by the car, help me throw a molly," KRIMZ said, pressing against the wall, waiting for his teammate to throw the molly for the car position.

Hearing KRIMZ's callout, mezii immediately switched to a molotov and threw it, jumping and aiming at the position.

"I'll push with you from the back," poizon said, quickly peeking out with his scope as the molotov exploded.

"Pop." A bullet from a Scout Rifle greeted him.

[Eternal Fire.woxic used SSG-08 to kill Fnatic.poizon]

Severely weakened by the grenade, he was finished off by a shot from woxic's Scout Rifle, who had emerged from the car position after the molotov.

However, woxic naturally wouldn't get a chance to fire a second shot.

[Fnatic.KRIMZ used AK-47 to kill Eternal Fire.woxic]

KRIMZ, pushing from close range, directly used his AK to finish off woxic, who was still standing in the fire.

[Fnatic.Aether used AK-47 to headshot kill Eternal Fire.Calyx]

Calyx, who had come out from CT spawn to try and trade the kill, was also headshot and eliminated by a single AK bullet from Qin Feng, who was holding from the back.

The remaining three CTs, who had chosen to gamble on B, had already lost the desire to retake.

The score quickly became 2-0.

As for the third round, the three Desert Eagles that Eternal Fire managed to save couldn't create any miracles.

Fnatic, losing only one Mac-10 from poizon, directly tore through Eternal Fire's B site defense.

Seeing the bomb about to explode, Wan Ji Qi in the stream room finally stopped chatting with the viewers:

"As expected, the score has directly become 3-0."

"Fnatic is about to enter their first full buy round. I wonder if poizon, the medicine god, will choose to buy a sniper rifle."

"They did buy a sniper rifle, as expected. I hope the medicine god..."

"Wait, what? The medicine god threw the AWP to Aether and picked up the AK Aether threw."

"Is it because Aether has a better position? That's not right either, poizon is clearly closer to mid and A-door."

"Could it be that Fnatic has adjusted their strategy and Aether is taking over as the team's main sniper?"

"..."

After receiving the sniper rifle from poizon, Qin Feng didn't choose to double-up with his teammates or himself.

Fnatic's entire team was too close to the B site bomb site.

"I'll go to B to see if I can get a pick," Qin Feng said to his teammate, "Someone help me hold B1."

ALEX looked at his position and nodded, "I'll go to A-door and throw some flashes this round. You all follow Aether to B."

"The others will help Qin Feng hold B1. If we can clear out the CTs at B, we'll push B directly."

On the Eternal Fire side, since they went for a strong buy in the second round, woxic naturally couldn't get his beloved big sniper rifle.

"We can't watch mid, let's go for a 3A push on A-site," woxic said, then glanced at xfl0ud, who was playing alone on B, "xfl0ud, be careful, they might still have those SMGs from before. Be careful of them rushing."

"Don't worry, I'll just throw a molly," xfl0ud said, throwing the molotov he was holding towards B-long.

Seeing that the Terrorists didn't immediately extinguish the fire and smoke, xfl0ud relaxed and went directly to the B site's big box, peeking his head out and swaying to observe.

However, Qin Feng had already been holding an angle in B main for a few seconds.

Under the effect of Absolute Focus, Qin Feng's concentration wasn't scattered; instead, it increased the longer he held the angle.

Even with the smoke from the incendiary grenade hindering his vision, Qin Feng pulled the trigger of his sniper rifle the instant he saw a head.

[Fnatic.Aether used AWP to headshot Eternal Fire.xfl0ud through the smoke]

"Wow, what kind of reaction is that?"

"Did Aether really see him?"

As Wan Ji Qi exclaimed, the director promptly showed a replay.

Although the director thoughtfully provided a 0.5x speed replay, everyone in the live broadcast room could barely catch a glimpse of the fleeting head behind the smoke.

[Auto-trigger, confirmed.]

[This... this isn't right, is it? Shouldn't his reaction time slow down after holding an angle for so long? How is this sniper so fast?]

[God A, my superman!]

[So fast a sniper!]

With xfl0ud's easy kill and the B gate smoke smoked off, XANTARES gave up the idea of rotating back and went directly to A main to save the bomb with his teammates.

woxic, positioned at the A site's sniper nest, subconsciously glanced at xfl0ud beside him, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? We can go back to B after clearing 3A, no need to push forward recklessly."

xfl0ud: ...

He was also helpless.

It was all because that sniper named Aether reacted too quickly.

To be safe, he had peeked his head out slightly through the burning smoke, swaying to scout.

Who knew he'd still be one-tapped by Aether like that.

"My bad." After thinking for a long time, xfl0ud could only say this.

"It's okay, we saved 4 guns, we can still go full buy next round." Seemingly sensing his teammate's low spirits, Clyax quickly tried to explain for xfl0ud, "The main thing is we didn't know the enemy sniper was rushing B main, there's nothing we could do about getting ambushed."

As the remaining players of Eternal Fire chose to save their guns, the score predictably became 4-0.

And since they went for a full buy this round, woxic was still holding the rifle he saved from the previous round.

Seemingly fearing that Fnatic would continue to push B, Eternal Fire chose the most stable 2-1-2 formation.

However, in the fifth round, Fnatic opted for a strong push on A main. Qin Feng, in the first position with his sniper rifle, eliminated the CT at the A main exit the moment he was spotted.

"He pre-fired and got me." woxic, who had pushed out, experienced xfl0ud's helplessness, "The enemy sniper is in the pit, why don't we save A on B?"

xfl0ud nodded and immediately abandoned the B site defense, quickly running towards A site.

However, Fnatic's attack was seamless.

After Qin Feng entered the pit, the Terrorists directly smoked off the CT positions at the bomb site with two smoke grenades.
