I Will Not Die Once, and I Will End the Game!

"junior threw a smoke to block K1, and the Fnatic players had to wait for it to clear."

"Pull out or stay?"

"The smoke cleared, they didn't pull out. What is junior trying to do?"

"Flank from the front?"

"It's over. The Fnatic players were all heading towards Yellow Gate and the Control Room, and junior just went around their backs through the Pipe. No one was watching their rear."

The situation on the field wasn't looking good for Fnatic.

junior had already spotted the heads of two K1 players by the Pipe exit.

"It's over, junior is going to be COL's hero..." Ma Xixi's words stopped abruptly halfway.

"Dada dada dada, dada dada dada." The M4A1 bullets poured out continuously, but they didn't inflict even a tiny bit of damage on the Fnatic players.

Twenty shots at their backs without a kill.

Gathering information, skillful movement, getting to their backs, all in one go! But...

The extremely abstract shooting directly ruined the entire good situation for the defending team.

A large "Danger" sign had already appeared above junior's head.

"My god."

"Viewers familiar with junior know his sniper rifle often misses, but I didn't expect his rifle to miss all twenty shots too."

"He was instantly headshotted and killed by poizon's AK spray control."

"Although the COL players at Connector were already starting to rotate back to B Site, the Terrorists have now taken control of the B Site bomb plant."

"Fnatic has already thrown smokes and incendiaries to block Connector. Will the remaining COL CTs choose to rotate back?"

"..."

[I could do better than this, I could still kill one.]

[There's always some amazing play from junior in every match, glad I'm watching.]

[Thank you, junior.]

[COL, please don't win, my diamond coins depend on you.]

On the player bench, junior looked wronged.

If only he had walked two steps forward and shot the Terrorists at full body.

This flank and subsequent death pretty much forced the remaining teammates into a save round.

As expected, the remaining four COL players chose to save their guns.

The score became 4-0.

Fnatic's weaponry was practically a complete upgrade compared to the previous round.

ALEX switched to the M4A1 that junior dropped, while mezii and Qin Feng got their own AKs.

After the preparation time ended, Fnatic directly set their sights on COL's A Site bomb plant.

A swift A Site execute signaled the start of Fnatic's offense.

In just 1 minute and 40 seconds of game time, the COL players defending A Site had already been hit by countless utility.

Fnatic's sudden acceleration in a full buy round caught COL off guard. FaNg and Grim, defending A Site, seemed completely unprepared for the utility usage.

"Aether didn't get an AWP, is Fnatic going for a fast push?"

"mezii pushed out from the Iron Door and got a headshot from FaNg on Yellow House."

"Wow, FaNg only managed to fire one shot before being instantly killed by Aether, who pushed out of the Iron Door with mezii."

"junior on the third floor? He was also instantly killed by Aether here."

"Aether's rifle is so deadly."

"Grim at the bomb site wanted to hold the Iron Door."

"Completely outmatched by Aether, this Grim."

Ma Xixi couldn't help but chuckle, showing his side as a "neutral commentator."

"What is gun skill?"

"Let Aether show you, the gun skill of Chinese CS."

"Pure gun skill dominance."

"The remaining COL players chose to save their guns. Fnatic takes a 5-0 lead for now."

"Is 5 points enough?"

"A huge disadvantage!"

[Huge disadvantage, everyone, huge disadvantage!]

[Xi Xi is the most neutral streamer I've ever seen.]

[Fnatic's five consecutive points couldn't hide their weakness, while COL's zero points showcased their strength as a top team.]

On COL's player bench, floppy reluctantly called the first timeout of the match.

A 5-0 deficit on Nuke while on the defensive was a disastrous start for COL.

During the entire PGL Major North American qualifiers, even Liquid hadn't put this much pressure on them.

"Let's call a timeout to stop their momentum," floppy said, then sighed and looked back at coach T.c.

For some reason, the coach wasn't offering any advice today; instead, he was laughing non-stop behind the players.

After a brief timeout, the match resumed.

However, the timeout called by COL seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Even though junior had his sniper rifle, he was almost always eliminated by Qin Feng's sniper rifle in the outer area.

Even Grim, the team's strongest rifle player, was completely unable to fight back.

Fnatic maintained firm control of the game's pace throughout the entire first half.

14-1, Fnatic delivered a perfect performance on offense on Nuke.

Of course, what was even more unbelievable was that Qin Feng hadn't died once in the entire half.

Even in the round they lost, Qin Feng still managed to save his sniper rifle after the round timer expired.

"My god, Aether went 13-0 this half?"

"I'll be damned, is this Nuke offense?"

"junior really couldn't land a single shot on Aether."

[Aether: I will not die once and will end this game.]

[Bold prediction: Aether is actually playing a real-life CSGO match, with only one life.]

[This is the benefit of Cold God not being here; no matter how they lose, it won't be 16-0.]

As for the second half, it lacked any suspense.

After easily winning the pistol round, Fnatic ended the game with a quick push.

16-1, Fnatic easily defeated COL to secure a valuable victory.

Qin Feng's KD also reached an astonishing 15-0.

"My god, Fnatic's form seems to have improved significantly since the qualifiers."

"Poizon is actually fragging, 22-8."

"How is Aether 15-0, never died?"

"This is too ridiculous."

Of course, besides the domestic audience, the exclamations came more from European and American viewers and commentators.

Especially the North American commentators.

"I didn't expect that North America's strongest sniper, junior, would be outplayed and eliminated by Fnatic's Aether."

"Are there such strong snipers appearing in Chinese CSGO as well?"

"It's truly unbelievable."

"But looking at it this way, COL's chances of advancing aren't looking good."

"After all, Fnatic is only considered a mid-tier second-division team in Europe."

"..."

Fnatic's players politely said goodbye to their opponents and returned to the player lounge.

A 16-1 victory over COL to start the tournament undoubtedly put all the players in a great mood.

"Feng, you're too strong, you didn't die once in the Major main stage."

ALEX looked at Qin Feng, who was walking at the front, and marveled.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"Guys, don't relax. After the first round of BO1 matches, we still have another round of 1-0 group matches to play."

"Although we won't know our opponent until the tournament is completely over, we still need to maintain our in-game feel."

"Poizon also had a dominant performance this game, 22-8, absolutely crushing it."

"Our next opponent might be very strong, as it's a 1-0 group match."

"But don't put too much pressure on yourselves. With the Swiss system, we have plenty of opportunities to adjust."

"We need to believe that we deserve a spot in the Legends stage."

"..."
