CS: You are only 16 years old, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 167 Big Data CS!

When the GL members returned to the base, it was two days after the EPL S15 season ended.

At this moment, they are watching the EPL S15 season finale together in the base.

The final was a confrontation between the galaxy battleship Faze and the Finnish siren ENCE.

This is also an outstanding achievement of ENCE in recent years.

The ancestors of the ENCE team also have glory. In 2019, ENCE, led by Leonardo DiCaprio and Allu, won the runner-up in the Major.

However, due to the problem of "palace fighting", the whole team fell apart and the performance gradually declined.

In the past six months, they mainly discovered spinX, an Israeli gunman. The firepower of the entire team has reached an unprecedented high, and the results have steadily increased.

However, in this final, Big Cousin once again demonstrated his excellent preparation and targeting capabilities.

SpinX, who was supposed to be ENCE's strongest firepower, was targeted and fell to the bottom in this final.

In this final, all members of Faze were in top form, even the cousin's shooting skills were on point, and they were not too far behind in this duel between gunmen. He even got a few more kills than his teammates.

This situation made GL members call for 1.6karrigan to be released.

Faze also achieved its wish and successfully won the championship in the EPL S15 season.

"Last time Cato got the runner-up, and this time they won the EPL championship." Snax took a breath, "Faze's current state is really scary. It's not unfair that they lost to them."

He was amazed that his cousin could still maintain his form at this age, and he was a little resigned to his age.

But the performance of his cousin in the finals made him feel that he could do it again.

IM also said with emotion: "I feel that this Major, Big Cousin may be able to realize his dream. NAVI's state continues to decline, Little Bee is still in the running-in stage, and G2 has recently had a palace fight. I can't think of anyone who can beat them."

Among the four major traffic teams, the Galaxy Battleship is in the best condition.

After winning this championship, Faze's world ranking directly reached No. 1, which is a very terrifying result.

Jiang Yang was browsing his phone, then he turned around and looked at the IM and smiled.

IM was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yang leaned back on the sofa and answered silently, "A few days ago, I thought GL could beat them."

Although it is a bit of a fluke, preliminary preparations are just preparations after all, and no one can predict the state and performance in the game.

Jiang Yang thought, what if all the team members are in good condition?

But he didn't expect that Faze would put so much effort and conduct a lot of research on him.

Hearing this, IM fell silent.

The gap is there, and he thought that reaching the top four was already an outstanding result.

Jiang Yang wanted more and more.

Even if the opponent is the world's number one, he still wants to knock him down.

Ultraman replied: "I have actually thought about it, but now I find that the gap is still a bit big. This is the foundation of a strong team!"

In fact, he had thought that as long as he could delay the game, he might be able to play out the same scenario as what happened on NAVI that day.

Ultraman joked: "It's okay, maybe we will succeed in revenge in the next Antwerp Major."

IM clearly felt the strength of Faze in yesterday's game, and subconsciously replied, "That's not possible. Faze is clearly aiming for the championship."

Jiang Yang sat up straight after hearing this and said seriously, "How can it be impossible? IM, you have to disenchant them. If you think about it this way, even if Faze targeted us, we still dragged the game into the third map, so losing the game doesn't matter."

"Don't let me see you being unconfident, okay?"

“Dreams and goals are like this. Only if you dare to dream, will they come true.”

Jiang Yang's words were a bit harsh, but he did feel that after the match with Faze, IM felt a little frustrated and had lost all confidence.

Seeing this, Pasha immediately stood up and said, "It's just a small matter. Don't quarrel over it. IM feels that there is indeed a gap in strength between them and Faze. That's what I mean."

Then he turned to look at IM, "You really are such a fool, IM, don't be too depressed, nothing is impossible. Just like 18 Boston, who would have thought that C9 would eventually win the championship?"

"In Atlanta that year, who could have thought that Team A would overturn us by two points? 14:16, I still can't forget that score."

IM was speechless for a moment.

What he said is indeed true. In a Major-level event, Team A was able to unexpectedly defeat VP with a very small score difference of 14:16.

If such an extremely regrettable and painful scene can appear, what else is impossible to happen?

The biggest charm of CSGO is uncertainty.

Jiang Yang also walked over and patted IM on the shoulder, "So don't be so pessimistic. Losing is not terrible. How to grow from failure is the most important thing."

“Even if we can’t beat them in the final Antwerp Major, and we might lose without even meeting them, we have to have the confidence that we can beat them…”

IM let out a long breath and nodded, "I understand what you mean, I just haven't come to terms with my emotions yet."

Jiang Yang nodded and let IM adjust himself.

This EPL S15 season was not too bad for Jiang Yang. He had played against this group of first-line professional players many times and had long been demystified by these old players.

siuhy, IM, and ultimate feel like college students going out to see the world for the first time.

They overcame many difficulties along the way, but finally fell in front of Faze. It is inevitable that they would have some negative emotions.

Jiang Yang also knew that as the "big brother" of the team, he had to stand up and give them some confidence.

Having said everything that could be said, Jiang Yang quickly continued to browse his phone.

The EPL S15 season has just ended, and the discussions among netizens on the forum are still crazy.

Faze regained its form and emerged from hell, sparking heated discussions.

When Jiang Yang opened the post-match comment section, he was able to see some funny comments from netizens.

[Let me start by saying that Faze is having a celebration party tonight, and no one dares to pick up their chopsticks unless Little Bee comes]

In this EPL S15 season, Faze didn't play very well at the beginning, and their fate of advancing or qualifying was completely left to other teams.

The match between Little Bee and VP will determine whether Faze can qualify.

At that time, the Bees were already eliminated regardless of winning or losing, but they were still defeated by VP and allowed Faze to advance.

So Faze's victory in the EPL this time is really amazing, they really fought their way out of hell.

The following answer made Jiang Yang laugh out loud.

【Faze celebrates in nightclub after winning the championship, Broky shows off his burgers at KFC】

Jiang Yang immediately logged into his main account and replied in the comment section: "Let me clarify, Broky is like this."

Broky has a strange habit. Whenever he goes to a place to play a game, he likes to try the local hamburger or fried chicken restaurant first.

He even compares which place has the better burgers.

When it comes to fried chicken and burgers, he is definitely the top number one!

Jiang Yang was really convinced.

He continued to scroll down and unexpectedly saw someone discussing GL.

[GL was a real surprise this time. I think the semi-finals were more exciting than the finals.]

[Jiang Yang’s current level is really second to first-class sniper. It feels like he almost defeated Faze this time]

[Defeat Faze? It means 2-1 elimination]

[Read the director’s original words for yourself]

This netizen posted a link below.

After GL was eliminated by Faze, although this result was already good, there were still netizens criticizing him.

Jiang Yang also had a hunch about this. After all, with his performance in the EPL, the overall data in the match against Faze was a bit off.

Although he adjusted quickly, Faze's targeting did put a lot of pressure on him and limited his performance.

Moreover, Faze is now a legitimate T0 team, so it would be very difficult for him to win alone.

But he still clicked on the link out of curiosity.

It turned out to be a slice of the director’s live broadcast, and the time displayed in the live broadcast was 6 hours ago.

It's not slicing buddy, you are chasing the director to bite him, right? This is too much slicing.

Then he looked at the content of the live broadcast slice.

After winning the championship, the director got a new hairstyle, which is quite elegant.

He was happily playing Horizon 4, and while the CG animation was playing, he glanced at the barrage.

[How did you feel about yesterday's finals? ENCE's shooting skills looked very strong. ]

The director read out the comments, "It feels great to win the championship. As for ECNE's shooting skills? We made a lot of preparations, so that they can only use their shooting skills. However, Karrigan's time was changed back to 1.6 by Olaf, and he was amazing in carrying the whole game!"

Although Big Cousin's statistics in the final were the last, he was only 10 kills away from Broky who was ranked first.

There were four maps, and Broky was only ahead of him by two and a half heads in each map on average. Considering that his cousin was the commander, this wave shouldn't be too exaggerated.

"But ENCE is not the one that impressed me the most." The director extended the topic, "Our most impressive match was actually against GL. We really wanted to take revenge on Broky's friends and made a lot of preparations, but they still pushed us to the third map."

"You're too difficult, young."

Later, Director Horizon 4 started, so they didn’t talk in detail and Jiang Yang didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, he was still very happy with the director's evaluation of him, as it was worth it that he racked his brains to break the game that day.

Although it was eventually restricted.

The main reason is that this is the first time I have faced this situation and I lack experience.

Faze was suddenly targeted a lot and he was caught off guard for a moment.

He was well aware that he had hit the first rookie wall in his career.

If he cannot cross this "wall", then he will be destined to become just an ordinary player.

Adjust your playing strategy and choose more diverse defensive styles?
Jiang Yang had a lot of ideas in his mind, but it was difficult to execute them all at once.

So he simply entered the system interface.

The familiar small words suddenly appeared before my eyes again.

[At the age of 31, you built a team of old Galaxy Battleship, but eventually fell to the hands of Faze clan. It is hard to imagine that after so many years, Faze has reorganized the "full god class". It is hard for you not to think of the scene in the first Major, when you were still a rifleman and led Tianlu all the way to the Antwerp Legends Group. Although you lost to Faze in the end, losing to the champion of this Major can barely be considered "honorable defeat".

But after so many years, Faze is like your nightmare. Even if you accompany NIKO to defeat it once, they can always fight their way out of hell again...】

In that parallel universe, did Jiang Yang, the first team, finally choose to join Tianlu? A standard CN plot.

But it’s also impressive that they made it to the Legend group at the Antwerp Major together with Tyloo!

With systematic training, Jiang Yang and his group of veterans in Steel Helmets entered the legendary group.

The players of Tianlu are definitely stronger than Steel Helmets in more than one dimension, but reaching the top 16 is still very impressive.

But Jiang Yang didn't expect that he was playing with a rifle at that stage.

However, in the Antwerp Major of that time and space, did Faze win the championship in the end?

Jiang Yang's heart sank.

Because this means that if there is no "variable" GL where Jiang Yang is, then it will really be like what IM said, Faze will win the Antwerp Major and realize their dream.

When the Major really comes, each team will use all their tricks and will also bring out all the tactics that they have hidden before.

But in this situation, Faze still defeated all the teams and won the Antwerp Major.

These guys are terrifying.

After being amazed, Jiang Yang also felt a lot of pressure.

Because every year's Major is the most important competition and the place where all CSGO players can realize their dreams.

The members of Faze wanted to fulfill their dreams, so naturally he also wanted to get one step closer.

The system explained that Faze was like his nightmare, which meant that Jiang Yang in normal time and space was always defeated by Faze in different teams.

Thinking of yesterday's targeting, Jiang Yang suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

According to common sense, Jiang Yang is only 17 years old, and he still has a long way to go in the future. It is only a matter of time before he wins a Major.

But he also knew that NIKO must have thought so once, but now he is still running around for that damn Major trophy.

Jiang Yang doesn't want to follow the path of 'Lao Deng Jiang Yang', so how to break this situation becomes interesting.

Now they do have a certain gap with Faze's level, but there is still time before the Major, right?
The small words in front of my eyes continued to appear.

[Mission: Achieve good results in the EPL knockout stage...]

[This reward is being distributed...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining 4399 counterattack points...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining the random skill grade upgrade card...]

There aren’t many counterattack points, and the rewards aren’t particularly exaggerated, but it’s still an unexpected surprise.

There is still some time before the Major, and Jiang Yang plans to use this time to improve his level.

"Do you want to use the 'Random Skill Rank Upgrade Card'?"

"Yes."

[Skill: Isolated and helpless (Basic) → (Intermediate)]

【…】

[Skill: Isolated and helpless (Intermediate)]

[Explanation: When Lao Deng is the only one alive on your side, the isolated and helpless state will be triggered.

Isolated and helpless state: Improve the concentration of the endgame, become calmer in the endgame, improve the positioning ability of the endgame, and improve the ability to move in the endgame. 】

The skill of being isolated and helpless was of great help to him during this EPL.

Because his teammates are still in the stage of finding their positions, he often needs to step up and perform.

Although after the EPL ends, they will take the initiative to solve this problem.

But in CSGO games, there will inevitably be opportunities for endgames. Jiang Yang needs to be more capable of handling endgames.
Jiang Yang came to carefully analyze the improvement of this skill.

Compared to the isolation and helplessness at the beginner level, after entering the intermediate level, the ability to position and move in the endgame is improved.

This will give him more possibilities in the endgame against some top players.

Jiang Yang was thinking about whether to start another ladder game. When he tried it out in the ladder game, he heard Pasha say, "I have some good news that I haven't told you in the past few days."

Jiang Yang looked over and heard Pasha looking at him and Siuhy, "We found the analyst you two are looking for."

Then he looked at IM again, "He's still your acquaintance."

"He's arrived at the club, go greet him."

As Pasha was speaking, the door of the training room suddenly opened and GL's manager walked in with a relatively unfamiliar face.

Of course, this relatively unfamiliar person refers to Jiang Yang.

For IM, this face is no stranger.

"Coach?" IM was a little surprised.

The person who came here was GL’s former coach Ash.

Ash also greeted them generously, "Hello, rising stars on the field."

"Hello, hello." Jiang Yang also greeted Ash.

IM was still a little surprised, "Why is it you?"

He was a little embarrassed, after all, GL had completely changed its lineup and he was the only one left.

He was kicked out not long ago, but he came back again. This wave really made him a little confused.

Ash saw some of IM's concerns, "I thought GL's lineup was fine before. We have been training around you for a long time. We just need some more opportunities to achieve results. I'm not saying we should form a small group. I just think we should persist."

IM told Jiang Yang before that the management felt that Ash was sticking to that lineup and had no plans to change it.

At that time, Jiang Yang was wondering why in a team like GL, which was similar to a military unit, there was a seniority-based system.

Now it makes sense. It wasn't about any qualifications, it was just that we had some differences in ideas at the time.

"What about you now?" Jiang Yang asked.

Pasha has become their coach. Although his coaching skills are not as good as those of Zonic and B1ad3, he is also diligent and has made all the necessary preparations for them.

It always provides them with emotional value during the competition.

If Ash planned to give the palace to Pasha, Jiang Yang would be the first one to be unhappy.

"Be an analyst!" Ash responded readily.

"You guys are looking for analysts, so I came here."

Jiang Yang and Siuhy looked at each other, both a little surprised.

They didn't expect that Ash, the former GL coach, also had the ability of an analyst.

Ash explained: "When I first joined GL, I was actually an analyst. At that time, in order to find a job, I sent a message to GL's previous manager, saying that I could provide free analytical help for a few months. Later, by chance, I became a coach."

"Now I'm back to my job."

Snax then asked pointedly, "As an analyst, what kind of help can you provide us now?"

Snax belongs to the traditional school. When he was in the old VP, they didn’t have any analysts, and they had to do all the game review themselves.

The team is now also following this approach, but he knows that the analyst industry is slowly entering the entire circle, and he is curious about what analysts can provide for them.

"What can I provide to GL?" Ash smiled cheerfully, "I call it Big Data CS."

"For example, in this EPL match, when GL played against Faze, I was able to use data analysis to find out where Young died in the spear round, and the time points of the firefights in different areas of the two sides."

“We can use data to analyze the position that each player is better at, and make adjustments so that you can play in the position that suits you best.”

"Through big data, we can know the opponent's habitual positions, their attack timings, and the probability of the opponent hitting A or B in a pistol round..."

Data don't lie. What Ash said is equivalent to putting the opponent under big data for research and targeting, which is exactly what GL lacks the most nowadays.

Jiang Yang was struggling with how to crack Faze's targeting. If he went to see it himself, it would take too much time.

Siuhy patted Jiang Yang's forearm, his eyes full of surprise.

If it is true as Ash said, then Siuhy's pressure in the next game will be greatly reduced, and he can focus all his attention on commanding.

The team's overall winning rate can be significantly improved.

Jiang Yang and Siuhy looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

At this time, Jiang Yang took the initiative to extend his hand to Ash, "If it is true as you said, then welcome to join GL... No, it should be welcome back to GL."

Ash held Jiang Yang's hand and said, "I'm looking forward to creating a wonderful experience with the 'strongest new star'."

Ultraman became a curious baby. He was also curious about how analysts work: "So what should we do next to improve? Can you give me some suggestions?"

Ash thought for a moment and said, "If you want to give me advice, give me data. Lots of data."

Jiang Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Does this mean that we need a lot of training to give you data from the ladder, training matches, and professional matches."

He was thinking before, "I have no regrets in my youth!" How to complete that challenge? Now Ash's idea coincides with his.

Ash nodded: "You can understand it this way. With the Major approaching, a lot of training will definitely help you get rid of those bad habits."

"Moreover, extensive training can definitely help us maintain an excellent sense of the gun, so that we don't have particularly abstract gun skills in the Major competitions."

Snax took a breath. "Can I ask you a question? What does 'a lot' mean?"

"Is 10 hours of training a day enough?" Pasha added.

Although there is a training maniac in the team, Jiang Yang is addicted to the Internet and others are definitely not as good as him.

Ash just smiled and shook his head.

"It's just 10 hours, right? That's fine. There's plenty of rest time every day, so there's no pressure."

Pasha also thought that if he could train with his teammates for a while every day, each day would be more fulfilling.

IM is an old team member under Ash. He sighed and looked at Pasha and said, "Coach...oh no, he means, the more the better."
