I'd Rather Make Mistakes Than Do Nothing!

"Pick up the pace and hit B. We've been hitting A the whole time, so they'll probably stack A on defense this round."

Life said in a low voice over comms.

Of course, this was just part of the act.

After all, all Major Qualifier team comms had to be submitted to the tournament organizers for review after the match.

TBD had long since agreed with Wings Up to rush B and throw the twenty-sixth round.

After the four Terrorists cleared the anti-rush fire at B Second Floor, three grenades immediately took out two of them.

The CT tucked against the wall at Sofa, in Wan Ji Qi's spot, sprayed down the two wounded Terrorists who jumped down.

The bomb was dropped at B Site Bomb, and Qin Feng, holding a Sniper Rifle in Mid, could only helplessly save his gun.

12-14.

In Round 27, TBD rushed A Site.

They threw Tyloo's Five-Ring Smoke and planted in the smoke.

What awaited Wings Up was a five-versus-five Bomb Site retake.

But despite having no defuse kits, Wings Up showed no urgency at all and instead slowly cleared the site.

A Molotov at A Second Floor forced Qin Feng off his sniper angle at A2, while another Molotov flushed out Wyyxhydmy hiding in the dead corner and killed him outright.

To prevent the CTs from smoking off the bomb and forcing a defuse, the remaining Terrorists had no choice but to take extremely unfavorable positions.

Even though Qin Feng did his best from A2 to trade out the CTs at Jump Platform and VIP, the Terrorists were still all picked off by Wings Up's rifles.

Still, they had bought enough time.

The two remaining CTs had no kits, and the bomb could no longer be defused.

13-14.

Neither TBD nor Wings Up had much money.

But as the winning side, TBD could still buy fully. Aside from Qin Feng's AWP, however, his teammates only had three Galil ARs and one Mac-10.

Wings Up, meanwhile, kept around 2,000 dollars each and opted for a half-buy.

This time, as TBD hit B, they entered B Site without any pressure.

Five versus five, the CTs chose to save their armor.

But TBD had no intention of letting them keep it.

Other than Qin Feng watching the bomb from B Second Floor, the remaining Terrorists charged from Market toward CT Base, preparing to hunt down their weapons.

Then they ran straight into crossfire from the CTs at A1, A2, and Sandwich at A Site.

Wings Up instantly pulled off a one-for-four trade.

Although the CTs no longer had time to retake, every Terrorist other than Qin Feng had only around 3,500 dollars.

They could not even afford Full Armor AKs.

Meanwhile, thanks to their maxed-out loss bonus, Wings Up had four M4s, one Sniper Rifle, and full Grenades.

14-14.

They reached the critical twenty-ninth round.

Both sides had spent every last dollar.

Life looked at the Galil AR in his hands and the Mac-10s carried by the rest of his teammates, then smiled faintly.

"Our guns aren't great this round. Let's execute A and plant. Cough, cough."

Qin Feng naturally understood what Life's call meant.

Wings Up would most likely gamble on A this round.

And that was exactly what happened.

Wings Up opened with an extremely unconventional four-man A setup.

[What... are you guys playing Landlord? Four Aces?]

[Three submachine guns and a Galil AR, with only God A holding a Sniper Rifle, and they've been site-stacked too. This is hard.]

[All you can say is that their tactic got countered. The gamble is reasonable too; Wings Up probably knows TBD doesn't have much money this round.]

"If TBD hits A this round, they're done for," Mo quickly concluded as he watched TBD's attacking formation.

"One hundred percent?" Ma Xixi chimed in.

"Uh, 99.99 percent."

"Alright, if TBD turns this round around, I'll roll 3,000 for the viewers."

The moment Ma Xixi finished speaking, TBD's execute at A Site began.

But because Wings Up had so many players at A Site, there were not only CTs at Jump Platform and CT Booth, but also two more CTs positioned beneath Second Floor and behind Long Box.

Once the smoke grenades at A Site bloomed, the CTs at Jump Platform and CT Booth immediately acted as bait, wildly spraying into the smoke.

The remaining Terrorists cooperated perfectly, spraying back through the smoke at the CTs inside it.

But soon, they found themselves caught in the crossfire of chichichi beneath Second Floor and zzqq at Long Box.

[Wings Up.chichichi used M4A1 to headshot TBD.Life]

[Wings Up.chichichi used M4A1 to kill TBD.Wyyxhydmy]

[Wings Up.zzqq used AWP to kill TBD.Dark]

[Wings Up.JokerChild used M4A1 to kill TBD.Kay through smoke]

At 1:20 on the game clock, the match instantly became a one-versus-five clutch.

As Ma Xixi watched Aether, the only player left on TBD, he secretly rejoiced.

No need to roll the 3,000 after all.

"He's even trying to catch someone at B Second Floor."

"Only Aether is left, heh heh."

"He's perfectly staggered from the CTs rotating back from B Site through B Small."

"Someone's probably thinking that if he had the bomb, he could plant it, right?"

"Of course, that's impossible."

"If the CTs hadn't seen the bomb dropped at A Site, they wouldn't be positioned like this."

"Can he turn this around?"

"Impossible, brothers."

"If he turns this around, I'll roll a brand-new Eternal Gun for everyone."

"A professional commentator has to dare to make calls."

While Ma Xixi chatted and laughed with the viewers, Qin Feng had already crept from B Second Floor to VIP.

Even though he felt that both his skill and form had reached their peak, the clutch before him was still as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Logically, he could have saved this Sniper Rifle and waited to catch someone off guard at the start of the next round.

But he knew his teammates would have no money next round and would most likely go for a lightning-fast rush only to throw themselves away.

He would still be facing a clutch no easier than this one.

After peeking out from VIP, Qin Feng spotted the CT at Jump Platform with his back turned.

His breathing quickened.

Maybe... this was an opportunity.

"Ah~~~~~~~?"

In CSBOY's livestream room, Ma Xixi drew out his tone.

"No one's watching VIP."

"What does Aether want to do?"

"He's holding a Sniper Rifle. He doesn't have much multi-kill potential."

"A silent flank? Does he want to knife the M4 holding Jump Platform?"

[Wouldn't saving the AWP be better? Is he brain-dead? Even if he gets the knife, it only gives him 1,500 more, and the other side still has full guns and utility.]

[Sigh, this is Huaguo CS. If you want to mess around, at least look at the score first.]

[What? Only qz is left? Knife him, knife him!]

But no one noticed that the close CT at A Second Floor happened to line up perfectly with the CT at Jump Platform.

"Bang!"

Qin Feng's body trembled slightly with excitement.

If this collateral shot failed, he would most likely be finished off by the CTs' crossfire.

[TBD.Aether used AWP to kill Wings Up.JokerChild]

[TBD.Aether used AWP to collateral kill Wings Up.chichichi]

"A double kill?"

"What does that mean?"

Ma Xixi's voice became hurried.

"The Sniper Rifle coming out from Long Box to trade hit him in the leg."

"Three HP. Can he turn it around?"

"Zzqq at Long Box doesn't dare peek anymore."

"Aether is directly wallbanging Long Box with the Sniper Rifle."

"One shot connects through."

"Two shots connect through."

"HE WALLBANGS HIM TO DEATH!!!!"

"The one-versus-five instantly becomes a one-versus-two."

"What is this?"

"Aether with three HP."

"Is a world-class highlight about to happen?"

"This Sniper Rifle player, who entered the professional scene just two months ago, is about to bare his sharp fangs to the world?"

"Brothers, are we about to meet God?"

Watching his teammate's game screen, chichichi's facial muscles twitched.

After Qin Feng sniped him, he immediately switched to zzqq's perspective.

Who would have thought that zzqq would fail to trade the kill and instead be wallbanged to death by Qin Feng's two shots?

After hesitating, he still reminded A1 and the two Counter-Terrorists rotating back through Mid.

"This Sniper Rifle is a little weird."

"You'd better not duel him."

"He should be very low. The two of you don't need to guard the bomb either. Just wait for him to plant and trade him."

"And there's one Molotov left. That's enough to force him out of the Exit Point."
