Chapter 90 - Goodboi’s Plan
Viktor already made a note of John's IGN and decided to take him out subtly first itself since he knew John was the backbone of the Beast Men.
Viktor and the Wildcats were playing as CT's in the first half while the Beast Men were playing as T's whose mission was to plant the bomb and win.??
There were two plant sites for the T's to plant, and Viktor stood guard in one of the sites. Tiana instructed him to inform the team through his mic as soon as he spots an enemy or even hears any footsteps.
Viktor decided to play it cool till the end of the first half and see how the game goes without him doing anything.
The rounds passed one after the other, as the two teams were fighting tooth and nail. John was taken aback by how the Wildcats seemed way more powerful compared to their first match.
He wondered if Dorian's presence in the team affected their morale or if they became more confident. Still, that didn't mean his team was losing. In fact, his team was leading and won many rounds by close shaves.
He and his team had already prepared various strategies for days before, and now they were beautifully implementing them in-game.
Viktor saw how the Beast Men were using grenades like heat, smoke, and flash grenades to their advantage and planting the bomb even before they could completely intercept them.
Sometimes Tiana and her teammates managed to win back the site, but the bomb would have exploded by then, while at times, they would get ambushed by the Beast Men and die altogether.
But still, Tiana and her teammates bitterly fought as they won some rounds by defusing the bomb and pushing back the Beast Men from planting the bomb.
It was soon halftime, and the Beast Men were leading as the score was 8-7, with the Beast Men winning eight rounds.
But Tiana and her friends were not very happy since they knew that in the next half, the teams would swap, and they would be playing as the T's, which was quite harder than simply defending the site.
Since they were only effectively four who knew how to use the smokes properly and take spots, it would be even more difficult to take a site as a single opening could expose them to danger or a team wipe.
Just before the game was going to resume, Viktor said to Tiana in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry. We are going to get through this. I think I am getting the hang of this game."
Tiana simply nodded with a pinched smile as she rubbed her eyes with her cold hands, which she couldn't tell if it was cold because of the AC or because of tension.
However, the tension increased since, just as Tiana expected, John's team was coming up with excellent strategies, some of which were borrowed by the strats international pros used to push back Tiana's team from even approaching the bomb site.
So it either ended up in a team wipe, or the Beast Men defused the bomb before it could even explode.
The Beast Men were slowly gaining rounds, even if some of them were very tight rounds. The score was now at 14-9, and Tiana and her teammates were feeling their hearts pounding against their chests.
Not ever before had they felt so much tension considering how they were born in rich families and had everything easy. But in a game like this, where everything was dependent on their own hands, it made them feel angst like never before, especially when there were high stakes involved.
Viktor already saw that his team was trying their best, especially Tiana, who was the one carrying everyone, having the highest number of kills just like in all the previous games.
Obviously, he felt that Tiana was the most skilled among the Wildcats, and if everyone else were as skilled as her, then he felt that they would have easily won the game without him doing anything.
But that didn't mean her teammates were poorly skilled, but they were experts as well. It was just that Tiana's skills were on a different level compared to her teammates.
'I guess it's time I made a move…' Viktor thought to himself as the 25th round began. The Beast Men were now at 15 points while his team had only 9. So everyone, including the audience were in nail-biting tension since the Beast Men needed only one more round to win as 16 was the number of rounds required for a team to win the game.
Even the commentators who were streaming the game officially felt pity for the Wildcats, expecting an imminent loss from their side and the repercussions they would have to face because of the bet.
In fact, some of the online spectators were storming the chat with texts conveying their sympathies while others were feeling excited and happy that they were going to lose, and most of these were people who got previously roasted by the Wildcats.
"Guys, let's rush B. This is do or die. What comes after...fuck it," Tiana said with gritted teeth through her mic during the buy time, which were some seconds allocated at every round start for the teams to buy their guns, grenades, and items.
"You mean Bombsite B? Okay, I have a plan. Can you guys make some footsteps near B? Don't rush but just create some sound to let them know that you guys are there. I will tell you guys when to rush."
"Huh? Are you being serious, Goodboi?" Tiana, who was the in-game leader and the one who gave strats, was surprised that Dorian wanted them to follow his strat, especially when he only started playing the game today.
Viktor knew what she was thinking and looked at her, "Just trust me on this, okay? You won't regret it. We are already on the edge of the cliff, so you shouldn't be worried about taking a leap of faith, right?"
