"NICE!!!" The moment Su Zhe saw REZ get the kill, he clenched a fist and shouted excitedly!
He finally understood why his teammates got so fired up when he pulled off a play.
Watching it from a third-person perspective was even more satisfying than making the play himself!
"WDF! REZ!! Did you eat something or what?" K0nfig immediately yelled. "I haven't seen you pull off a play this insane in ages!!"
REZ let out a long breath, releasing the tension he'd been holding. Then he started defusing the bomb one-handed and fist-bumping his cheering teammates.
The pressure of playing against NAVI was simply too much, especially in such a crucial Pistol Round.
Every point was key to winning. They had to play cautiously throughout the match, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Es3tag was excited too. "Keep it up! Let's smash NAVI today!"
JL heard the cheers from the opposing team's seats and looked displeased. "It's just a Pistol Round. What's there to celebrate? I thought they'd won the whole Bo3."
Little Plum spoke up. "All right, focus on the rest of the match. We'll go Pure E next round, then go for a Full Buy in the third."
They'd planted the bomb in the Pistol Round, so each player had over 3,000 in cash. To play it safe, Little Plum chose to transition quickly into a Full Buy.
After NAVI gave away another point, the score was 2–0.
Es3tag thought it over, then said, "Let's try to take control of Mid this round. If they play default at the start, they probably won't contest Mid too hard."
"Arrow, push up a little on Side Path and help us control Mid."
"Sure."
After answering Su Zhe sorted out his thoughts, figuring out how he should play the round.
