Steel.helmet vs. Heroic
Map: Inferno
T: CaptainMO, DD, xiaosage, young, karsa
CT: cadian, stavn, TeSeS, refresh, sjuush
The pistol round began.
As the attacking side, Steel.helmet had the initiative. MO called for an early default, followed by a B-site explosive execute later in the round.
Jiang Yang was getting the star-player treatment this round, too. He'd been given a P250 to use in the pistol round.
At the start, he took the P250 to Terrorist Entrance and used it like a Big Sniper. But the other side had no intention of peeking, so Jiang Yang could only regroup with the rest of the team and get ready to hit B later.
Then, without warning, the CTs pushed Banana Path to clear it. Jiang Yang was caught blind and killed on the spot.
The fight on Banana Path was a bloodbath. Steel.helmet traded four players for one.
The European team's style suddenly came crashing down on them, showing them what a tactical team could do.
Only DD was left. He tried to make a play, but eventually died on Banana Path, too.
Heroic easily took the pistol round.
After losing the pistol round, and without having planted the bomb, Steel.helmet chose to force buy and take a fight.
There wasn't much choice. Inferno was a map that relied heavily on utility, and they were low on money.
They also wanted Jiang Yang to save up for a Big Sniper by the time the Full Buy Round came around.
But Jiang Yang had a rough few rounds after that.
For several rounds in a row, he didn't even see an enemy before the Danes killed him through a smoke or flashed him and took him down.
"After losing four rounds in a row, they've finally called a timeout." Ma Xixi praised them.
