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

Chapter 183 CS is not about fighting and killing (daily life)
After defeating Mouz 3-1 and rushing into the Major from the shark pond of RMR in the European region.

Jiang Yang and Pasha also accepted a short interview with HLTV before reuniting with their teammates.

"Let's go, let's find a place to celebrate." Pasha said happily, "The manager just sent me a message and asked me to take you guys out for a nice meal."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Today I'm going to bankrupt this club!" Ultraman said happily, and even his crutches made him move faster.

Ash laughed: "If you can really bankrupt GL, then you will be more famous than winning the Major championship. People outside the circle will talk about how there is a player in CS who can bankrupt the club."

Jiang Yang smiled.

As a military team, GL doesn't pay very high salaries to its players. It would be a big problem if they were really bankrupted.

Of course, no one took this seriously.

"By the way, I have another good news for you." Pasha said, "We advanced with a score of 3-1 and are ranked high in the entire European group. We will directly advance to the Legends group next."

"We don't have to play the first round of the Major?" Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

In this Antwerp Major, players from different regions can compete for 24 qualifying places through RMR in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Americas.

Among these places, due to the different strengths of the competition areas and qualifying results, the teams eventually advanced to different groups.

There are three groups of players who advance from RMR.

Legend group, Challenger group, and Competitive group.

After officially entering the Major, the Major competition is divided into three stages.

In the challenger stage, the 8 challenger group teams and the 8 competitive group teams need to first play a 16-to-8 Swiss round to enter the top 16 stage of the Major.

Next, they enter the Legend Group stage. The members of the Legend Group need to compete with the 8 challenger teams that advance 16-8 to decide the final Major quarterfinals, which is the Championship Group stage.

After entering the final quarterfinals, the Major will officially enter the offline big stage, and the competition will become a BO3 single elimination system.

GL ranks high in RMR, which means it will directly enter the legendary group stage.

You can sit back and watch as the Challenger Group teams compete against each other and enter the Round of 16.

This allows them to have more energy to deal with the round of 16 matches without being overwhelmed with pressure every day.

High-intensity confrontations like this are very exhausting for people.

Today's BO3 match was played very quickly and ended in less than two hours, but the GL members still felt very exhausted.

Ash added: "In fact, we figured it out before the game. As long as the game doesn't go into overtime and the opponent doesn't fight hard, we will definitely be able to enter the legend group."

"But Pasha and I are afraid that telling you will put too much pressure on you."

Jiang Yang smiled cheerfully: "It's okay, this is a pleasant surprise now, it's great!"

Pasha put his arm around their shoulders and started walking forward. "Now it's time to celebrate and have a good meal!"

I beat my old club, advanced to the Antwerp Major, and advanced to the Legends group.

For Jiang Yang, this is no longer a win-win situation, but a win-win-win situation for all three parties.

It’s just like Zheng Ge touching the electric wires—win!

For him, leading the team into the Major is a good start.

Although he is still a long way from breaking the Antwerp result he wanted, at least it is a good start.

A group of people took their belongings and started driving back to the hotel provided by the event organizer.

Although we have decided to go out for dinner, we still have to put away peripherals and other things first.

After all, this thing is their livelihood.

If it is accidentally lost or damaged, the subsequent impact will be quite large.

Then they had to change into their regular clothes, otherwise a group of people going out for dinner in their team uniforms would inevitably attract attention.

They do like to interact with netizens, but they also want some private space.

After finishing in Katowice, he returned home.

At that time, he had just won the Katowice trophy, and their breakfast shop had completely become an Internet celebrity restaurant on that street.

Whenever Jiang Yang goes out to buy a cup of milk tea, he will run into several fans asking him for his autograph.

If they really meet them offline, they will definitely be happy to ask for autographs, but they are still afraid of trouble.

A group of people gathered downstairs in the hotel and soon arrived at a nearby Turkish kebab restaurant.

Barbecue and steak are some of the favorite foods of CSGO players.

In fact, Jiang Yang prefers hot pot, but when he first came to Europe, he tried it a few times and the base tasted so bad that he really felt it was not worth it.

After waiting for a while, everyone took their seats and started enjoying their kebabs.

The Turkish kebab method used by this restaurant is to use huge iron skewers to roast the meat mixed with various sauces. After it is roasted until it sizzles and oil appears, these huge pieces of meat are then pulled off.

Under the boss's ruthless iron hand, the pieces of meat were sizzling as they were pulled off. At this moment, hunger had reached its peak.

Jiang Yang quickly picked up a piece with a fork and put it into his mouth.

The meat was still hot, so he stir-fried it directly in his mouth to cool it down.

Jiang Yang didn't know how much the meal cost. After all, it was Pasha who paid for it and the club would reimburse him later.

But if the total cost is $100, then the first bite is worth $91.1.

Pasha looked at Jiang Yang and couldn't help but said, "Look at you, eat slowly, there's more to come."

Jiang Yang replied: "I am still growing, I can eat a cow."

There was still some chili powder residue on the corner of Ultraman's mouth. "Give me half!"

Pasha: To be honest, I'm a little envious.

These two young men are really good at eating. For him, a middle-aged fitness athlete, this is a great talent.

"Okay, let's have a drink together." Pasha, as GL's 'parent', took the initiative to raise his glass, "To celebrate our success in entering the Antwerp Major!"

All the adults in the team were drinking beer, except for Jiang Yang, an underage guy who was drinking orange juice disguised as beer.

After a glass of wine, the conversation slowly started.

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to return to a Major in this life," said Pasha.

"Didn't you have any plans to come back before?" IM was a little curious.

Pasha was a legendary player in the CSGO era. Although they were not his die-hard fans, they knew his story to some extent.

CSGO is a very magical game.

After playing for a while, ordinary players will choose to quit temporarily due to life, studies, etc., but perhaps they see a video, or suddenly think of the word CS, and they will choose to come back to CS after going around in circles.

IM is a little curious, does Pasha have any thoughts on making a comeback?

You know, this time Brazil's top team is composed of a group of former old Deng performing their last dance.

This proves that many veteran players cannot bear the loneliness and choose to make a comeback.

“I’m back again?” Pasha complained, “I can’t even beat the ladder, and I came back to be beaten by those noobs. I have nothing to do.”

This simple and clear answer made the GL members laugh out loud.

Pasha explained: "When I first retired, I took a long break, but later I couldn't sit still anymore."

"I was thinking about doing a live broadcast at the time." He then looked at Jiang Yang, "Well, I did a lot of live broadcasts in China at the time, and it was quite interesting."

"It was also at that time that I met Yang's brother. I heard that he was a particularly bad commentator."

Jiang Yang was surprised that Pasha knew his cousin, but he suppressed his smile when he heard the second half of the sentence.

Biaoguo, good news, your reputation has spread to the European CS circle and is no less famous than NIKO's "6657 is watching me".

Bad news, not a good reputation.

During the dinner, Jiang Yang turned on the camera, intending to record some footage after the promotion.

Later, I will also be able to respond to the requests from netizens for updates.

Unexpectedly, this funny thing happened.

The material is here. He took out his phone, found Masisi's WeChat, and sent a message: "Oh my god, cousin, are you so famous? Pasha has heard that we have a top commentator like you, awesome!!"

Jiang Yang’s European RMR trip officially ended and he got off work early.

However, Masisi was still passionately commentating on the match between Faze and NAVI in the live broadcast room.

After the unfortunate death of Brother Electronic, Masisi heard the WeChat notification sound on the computer, confirmed that it was not some strange message, and opened it in the live broadcast room.

He showed the chat history between him and Jiang Yang.

He said with a smug look on his face: "Look, everyone in the live studio, my reputation has spread to Europe, that's not bad..."

The evaluation of him and the playing machine by domestic players in previous years was basically similar to that of the national football team.

We don't have the best players, but we have the best commentators.

As a CSGO commentator, he is quite professional and charming, and one of the best in the country.

But, who doesn't want to be more famous?

[So impressive? ]

[One look at Ding Zhen shows that he is trying to coax an old man]

[Ah, foreign netizens also know Xixi? ]

[Don’t underestimate Xixi and MO’s connections]

[CS is not about fighting, it is about the ways of the world! Yang Cai understood it at the age of 17, why don’t the viewers in the live broadcast room understand it?]

The viewers in the live broadcast room all thought that Jiang Yang was coaxing Ma Xixi and was just doing it for the show effect.

Masisi was a little unconvinced, so he asked, "The helmet in the live studio said you were just teasing me, tell me what they think of me."

Although he seemed unconvinced, he was also reminding Jiang Yang that he was broadcasting live and was afraid that Jiang Yang might say something wrong.

Then he saw Jiang Yang typing a reply: "Don't worry, this is a very special review. I plan to put it in the third vlog. Please remember to give me a triple like."

In response to Jiang Yang's "one-click three-link" invitation, the viewers in the live broadcast room said "definitely next time".

This makes them even more excited for Jiang Yang's next vlog.

……

In a Turkish specialty restaurant, Pasha was sharing that his live broadcast failed, and he chose to set up a CS summer camp in Poland to enhance the strength of Polish CS. It was also during that stage that Ultraman was discovered.

However, after several sessions of the summer camp, he was still mainly immersed in life.

It was not until last year that he discovered that amateur athletes like them could also participate in MMA, so he took the initiative to prepare for it and gave it a try.

The next thing was that I was invited by Jiang Yang to be a coach while watching the game in Katowice.

He has always had ideas about CS, otherwise he would not have started live streaming again and set up a CS e-sports academy (summer camp).

However, he also understood that his level was completely out of touch with the current CS and he was considered to be eliminated.

But as coaches, as long as they accept the concept of the new generation of CS, they can do more through their own understanding.

"It's all thanks to Yang," Pasha said. "If it weren't for his invitation, I would be working out in the gym now, preparing for my second MMA fight."

"Yang's performance was still so good this time, you are really a monster-level player." He said to the GL members, "In fact, at the end of 21, I was thinking about playing this MMA game and then going back to play CSGO to try it out."

“I always feel that life is about trying.”

Then he looked at Jiang Yang and said speechlessly: "But in the Stockholm Major, I saw Yang suddenly emerge and make a crazy upset."

"That move really scared me. I was thinking, when I come back, I'm going to fight this kind of young man? Can I fight him?"

Pasha's expression was quite exaggerated, which made the GL members laugh.

But they can all understand.

When in Stockholm, Jiang Yang suddenly appeared, he was so dazzling.

It gave CS players all over the world a huge surprise.

But for some old players who want to make a comeback, they can truly feel the gap between themselves and the current CS professionals.

Some of them didn't have such good aim in their prime.

After so many years, his condition has declined, so how can he compete with such a talented young man?

"It's all thanks to Jiang Yang's stable performance in the past." Ultraman said, "Otherwise, if my level fluctuated before, I would really put too much pressure on myself."

His condition has always been quite up and down.

As one of GL's three firepower points, he is not as stable as IM.

In many previous competitions, Jiang Yang and IM were the only ones who held the front line.

Fortunately, the results of those games were good, otherwise he would definitely blame himself.

But with a big brother in the team, there comes a sense of security. Jiang Yang can hold on until Ultraman and IM find their touch.

When he first joined GL, Ultraman actually thought about relying on his own performance to get Jiang Yang to give up the position of the sniper rifle.

But now thinking about it, he had indeed thought too simply before.

There is a big gap between him and top players like Jiang Yang.

"Okay, I'm getting goosebumps." Jiang Yang said seriously, "Our advancement to the Major Legends stage is the result of everyone's joint efforts. No one in the team fell behind in this European RMR stage."

"It's like the last round today. Everyone of us is trying our best. I have the most resources in the team, so naturally I have to play to my full potential."

"But the previous devilish training has also paid off. I can clearly feel that your positive abilities have become much stronger."

IM and Ultraman nodded.

Not only in terms of positive ability, they clearly feel that they have played better in recent games.

Some on-the-spot processing becomes easier.

In the final round of today's game, they handled the situation perfectly after knowing that the opponent was going to speed up.

It is simply a picturesque existence.

Pasha felt extremely satisfied when he saw this scene.

Although Jiang Yang is the youngest member of the team and is usually a little unfocused, when he gets serious he even does his job of giving lectures. He is really going to become GL's takeaway reviewer.

"This is the positive feedback after training." Jiang Yang raised his cup. "We have now officially entered the legendary group stage. Next, in addition to thinking about how to design stickers, we also have to start preparing for the competition."

"At this time of the Major, it should be difficult to arrange training matches..." He looked at Pasha.

Pasha replied: "It is possible, but only for non-Major teams."

"Then keep the previous idea. If there are training matches, play them. If there are no training matches, play in the ladder." Jiang Yang said.

"We also faced several top teams this time, including Heroic, Little Bee, and Mouz..."

"You should have realized that most of their shooting skills are no match for ours. This is the result of our training!"

"We will have a long period of time to adjust. After arriving in Antwerp, we need to get into shape and start training as soon as possible." Jiang Yang smiled, "Then in the Legend Group stage, we will show those top teams what young people's shooting skills are!"

None of the GL members objected to Jiang Yang's proposal.

It was expected for them.

Compared with their resistance last time, this time they were even very proactive in wanting to train.

Because this training was successful and achieved good results.

With the results in front of them, they have no reason not to continue training according to this model.

This time he was in excellent form and successfully entered the legendary group.

What if we can maintain this state and perform well in the legendary group competition?
Can we enter the offline stage, or go further?

Siuhy smiled and said: "I also think that this time in the Legends group, there should still be many people who believe that the four major traffic teams can win the championship."

"No matter what happens then." Siuhy had an evil smile on his face, "Let's finish the homework of netizens first."
