"Arrow pushes out aggressively and gets JT! His position is locked down! He's still burning time! Grim's getting a little desperate!"
"He gets Arrow's low-health kill and picks up the defuse kit! Can he get the defuse? Ahahaha! The bomb goes off!"
Ma Xixi's voice grew increasingly unhinged. "NIP have turned it around on a force buy! Arrow didn't get the Quad Kill, but he burned enough time to help NIP take this crucial round!"
Mo sighed admiringly. "People used to say Arrow only had good aim and played in a crude, violent way, but there's so much detail in that play today!"
Ma Xixi picked up the thread. "Absolutely! His thinking in that clutch and his Position Control were both so precise! But his aim was incredible, too! Otherwise, he couldn't have gotten Brother Ji's kill first. Now that Astralis have lost this round, they're in trouble!"
"Smack!"
Brother Ji had gotten a bad feeling as soon as he died at A1. When he saw JT go down afterward and Grim fail to defuse the bomb, he flew into a rage and slammed his hand down hard on the desk.
Three against one, and they got two of them killed! Then they lost! To an opponent on a force buy, no less!
Even in an ordinary ranked match, that would've left anyone frustrated for a while.
The slap startled hallzerk, who gave a slight shudder. The others didn't dare say a word.
JT, their in-game leader, tried to reassure them. "It's fine. We just need to turn it around next round..."
Nobody agreed with him.
Brother Ji composed himself but said nothing.
He wasn't the type to put pressure on his teammates. Besides, he was partly responsible for losing that clutch, even though he'd gotten a double kill.
