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

Chapter 184: So You Also Play...

On May 2022, 5, Antwerp will be cloudy to overcast.

GL has arrived at the hotel provided by the event organizer.

Although the Major challenger stage will not officially begin until next week, Jiang Yang, who is in the hotel, has already felt the atmosphere of the Major.

The players in this hotel are all in a hurry. Compared to entertainment activities, the training room is where they prefer to stay.

All teams are doing their best to prepare for the upcoming match in Antwerp.

While Jiang Yang was getting takeaway food downstairs, he was warmly welcomed by fans at the door.

“It’s just crazy.”

Jiang Yang sighed and walked towards the elevator with the takeaway.

"As expected of a sniper, you're so quick! You sign one and run away, leaving all the pressure on me."

Hearing a strange voice complaining from behind him, Jiang Yang turned around and found that it was someone he was not very familiar with, but whose face was familiar.

Nafany, the commander from Red Star Team, also known as Gambit Team.

Oh, right.

Now he should be called nafany from C9 team.

CSGO has nothing to do with politics and has become Chamberlain's toilet paper since two years ago.

As a Russian team, Gambit was the hardest hit in the CSGO arena. The situation was so serious that the entire team could not support themselves and had to participate in the Major in their individual capacity.

After qualifying for the Antwerp Major, the entire team was acquired by C9 and was reborn in North America.

Jiang Yang always has a good impression of those who try hard to fight against fate.

"You're getting takeout too?" Jiang Yang greeted Nafany, "KFC?"

"Is it a co-branded model with the original God? Is this Ganyu?"

Nafany's eyes lit up instantly at this moment, and he whispered, "So you also play... Genshin Impact!"

"Oh! Now I remember, you also have a Genshin Impact mouse pad."

At this moment, Jiang Yang was a little overwhelmed and fell into panic.

He suddenly remembered that Nafany's nickname was "Yuanyou".

Soon the elevator reached the first floor, preventing Jiang Yang from continuing the topic of "Genshin Impact".

Nafany also casually chatted with Jiang Yang: "Brother, what are your plans for today? Rest or training?"

Perhaps it was Jiang Yang's identity as a former friend that made Nafany feel very familiar with him.

Jiang Yang also tried hard to chat with this 'new friend'.

"It's just a break. I only need to play the ladder for 8 hours."

"Eight hours...you call that a break?"

Nafany complained.

He felt that Jiang Yang was a bit Versailles.

What’s the difference between this and getting gold from a single draw in Genshin Impact and then saying that you are African.

Jiang Yang shrugged without further explanation. For him, the ladder was already relaxing.

GL and C9's training rooms are not on the same floor. The two chatted for a while, and Nafany got off the elevator first.

Before leaving, he congratulated Jiang Yang, who was also his 'original friend', and said, "I hope that after entering the Legends Group, we will have a chance to compete against each other and contribute a two-dimensional game to everyone."

Nafany soon heard Jiang Yang's friendly reply, "I will definitely do my best when the time comes!"

It really is worthy of being the second dimension. These words made him feel like he had entered the anime finals.

After bidding farewell to his "spiritual" friend, nafany carried the Genshin Impact-linked KFC and returned to the training room with ease.

sh1ro had just finished a ladder match when he saw nafany with a look of joy on his face, almost skipping as he walked.

"Why are you so happy?" sh1ro became a little alert. Yuan You's look made him smell a hint of danger, and he wanted to stay away from Nafany for the time being.

"I just met Young and chatted with him for a few minutes. He is quite interesting." Nafany replied.

"GL should be preparing for the Challenger Group match soon, and you're still chatting with them."

Hobbit said casually.

Sh1ro, who looked like a zombie, was a little confused: "Did I remember it wrong? Didn't GL become a legend group a long time ago?"

Nafany gave him a thumbs up. "If I remember correctly, they made it out of Group A in Europe and advanced to the Legends Group with a score of 3-1. The Challenger Group match has nothing to do with them at all."

"Legendary group?" Hobbit said in surprise, "They start directly from the top 16? Are they that strong?"

"You really look down on GL." sh1ro leaned back in his gaming chair, somewhat amused.

Hobbit's move is a bit abstract. As one of the participating teams, we don't understand the situation clearly.

They also had no idea about the hot dark horse teams in the competition.

"It's not that I don't like them." Hobbit tried to explain, "Of course I know GL is a dark horse, but I always felt that they were at the bottom of the list."

The baby-faced veteran was still in shock.

Most people probably think that professional players’ attention and understanding of the game must be much higher than theirs.

But in fact, due to training and other reasons, professional players do not pay as much attention to the game as fans of some competitions.

Hobbit is the type who doesn't really watch the game unless it's necessary.

His understanding of Jiang Yang and GL is limited to knowing that GL is a dark horse.

Jiang Yang broke the CSGO professional competition record during the EPL and got more than 100 kills in an extremely long overtime.

The GL team also emerged as a dark horse in the EPL and achieved a good result of reaching the semi-finals.

But although GL made it to the semi-finals, he still felt that this team might just be a flash in the pan and would not be so exaggerated in the Major.

In a Major where everyone is giving their all, even if there is an upset, they can only advance to the Challenger Group.

After all, he knew that GL was in the European RMR A group this time.

Mouz led by Han Wang, Gambler, Walder, OG led by Huo Zai, FNATIC led by Ying Bubu Mezii, and even Etemal Fire led by Turkish ruthless Xantares were all eliminated.

The confrontation in Group A was full of fistfights and it was very bloody.

But in this atmosphere of strong competition, GL not only successfully advanced, but also made it to the legendary group. How could hobbit not be shocked?
Nafany chuckled: "You still underestimated the GL group. Their shooting skills are really strong."

Hobbit smiled and said, "It's mainly because I read some posts before the RMR match. Some people analyzed GL's play style and felt that it would be difficult for a team to win if it only relied on a single core."

“It’s really hard to win with a single core, but GL has changed a lot in the past few months.”

As a commander, nafany watched all the games of the European RMR qualifying teams in recent days, and really felt the changes in GL.

From shooting skills to tactics to team cooperation, GL has undergone tremendous changes compared to the EPL period!
So he could understand Hobbit's shock.

Nafany said with interest: "Speaking of which, GL and our map pools are quite similar. Both are better at playing less popular maps and taking advantage of the opponent's weakness. It feels like our idea of ​​becoming stronger was stolen by them."

"I just made an appointment with Young. If we have the chance to meet, we must put on a wonderful game."

sh1ro joked: "Be careful that Young makes fun of you with his personal ability. They are one of the strongest dark horses in this Major."

As he said this he started laughing.

The European RMR competition has ended. The most popular scene is the confrontation between GL and Mouz, and the scene where King Han was amused by Jiang Yang's personal ability.

The scene was very emotionally infectious, and even sh1ro could feel King Han’s helplessness.

"Dark horse." Nafany looked at Hobbit, "Our old man is the biggest dark horse in CS in recent years."

In the 2017 Krakow Major, hobbit and Red Star won the Major championship against all expectations.

Later, Red Star rose in the online era, and the Red Star Youth Training Team came to power and began to beat all the first-line teams in the online era.

They are the biggest dark horses in recent years.

Nafany smiled confidently, "If there is a chance for us to compete, I really want to see what level this new generation of dark horse is at."

At this moment, he suddenly saw a push notification pop up on his phone.

[The CS-young you are following has started broadcasting...]

nafany: "Tsk tsk, these young people are really hardworking. They're going to start broadcasting right now?"

sh1ro nodded: "Their whole team is a little crazy. I remember they just beat Mouz and advanced, but they broadcast live until a.m.... Well, it's quite interesting. I watched his live broadcast until a.m. before going to bed."

"Then we're almost ready to start practicing."

……

The casual chat with Nafany was just a small episode for Jiang Yang.

After retrieving the takeaway, he quickly returned to the training room.

After a simple lunch, Jiang Yang’s consciousness sank into the system.

[Youth Points: 4396/5000]

After a lot of training, the reward for youth points is not far away. According to Jiang Yang's prediction, this task can be completed before the Antwerp Legend Group starts.

The entire GL is now in a honeymoon period. Jiang Yang really wants to see what the GL will be like after completing this difficult challenge - the peak A team?
With GL's current firepower and the level of cooperation of the peak A team.

Jiang Yang really hopes that NIKO can have another Boston Major.

Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but hum softly.

After entering the system space, there was no significant change in his overall data panel.

He went directly into the Daily Mall.

[Mutation. Shrimp Gate!], [Old K's cosplay costume], [Hex. Negatives equal positives], [Luck of the Strong], [Mutation. Desperate Dance]

This system mall is still relatively new today, and Jiang Yang checked them one by one.

[Item: Mutation. Shrimp Gate]

[Description: After the mutation, you can transform into a 'shrimp', and randomly become a 'competition weakling shrimp', 'offline weakling shrimp', 'strong team hard-shell shrimp', 'Boston...]

Jiang Yang read half of it and passed it by.

The debuff of this reward is really a bit abnormal.

Why would he become a shrimp when he could be a sheep?

After three shots from behind, he will be quiet.

The next one is Lao K’s cosplay costume, the agent who wears a condom on his head in the game.

(Old K)

Jiang Yang also directly passed it, saying that this cosplay costume was not wearable at all.

Not as cute as my fly head.

[Item: Hex: Two negatives equal a positive]

[Note: After using this Hex, putting two players with negative feedback together may have a miraculous effect, such as putting two members who are good at choking together and stirring them...]

If Jiang Yang had joined G2 at the beginning, he might have bought this Hex without hesitation when he saw it.

It’s a pity that now in GL, Jiang Yang doesn’t have the choke problem, and neither does anyone else.

If you really can't win the game, you will lose decisively, and if you can turn the tables, you can win it seriously.

Unlike G2, he is able to pamper both haters and die-hard fans.

[Item: Luck of the Strong]

[Explanation: At a critical moment, it can bring you a crucial chance of becoming a strong player. PS: For some players, sometimes they are just a little bit away from that Major.]

【Price: 50000 Counterattack Points. 】

Jiang Yang took a breath.

This prop sounds very mysterious, but Jiang Yang has to admit it.

In the world of CSGO, even though there are two Majors a year to participate in, there are still countless players who end up with regrets.

For example, Faze and G2 have a very good relationship with Jiang Yang.

They all have their own regrets, and Jiang Yang can also feel that they really want to break those rumors in this Major and want to get one step closer.

But sometimes, it really feels like something is missing.

He has accumulated quite a lot of counterattack points recently.

So after considering it, he decided to buy it at the cost of 5 counterattack points.

5 counterattack points are not too many for him, the most important thing is to buy peace of mind.

His attitude towards this is just like the young people today praying to God.

This thing works for him, it's really magical.

This thing is useless, it's traditional feudal superstition.

However, he also understood that if he wanted to make use of this strong luck, he had to at least reach a position where he could be remembered.

We must work harder next time.

Well, even after the purchase was completed, he didn't feel anything special.

Then he looked at the last item.

[Props: Mutation. Desperate Dance]

[Description: How desperate must one be to perform such a dance? If you are sure that the opponent is a sniper, you can slightly increase your movement flexibility.] [Price: 30000 Counterattack Points]

So, you use your own positioning to make the opponent's sniper despair, right?
It turns out to be this kind of desperate dance!

Although I am quite confident in my own and my team's strength, in CSGO games, there is always the possibility that a small gun will be used against a big gun.

Even as the big brother of the team, he still needs to pull the gun line in certain situations.

In this situation, if you can shake off the opponent's sniper, the situation may be immediately opened up.

Jiang Yang had an idea and bought it directly.

After the purchase was completed, some fragments inexplicably appeared in his mind.

For example, holding an AK and using two small shakes and the Xantares peek method to trick the sniper rifle into pre-aiming.

For example, he would hold a pistol and pull it forward, then suddenly speed up and run out.

The main thing is to use a variable speed shooting method. After all, the sniper rifle has only one bullet. As long as the first bullet misses and the gun position is lost, the subsequent pressure will be very great.

Jiang Yang himself is a sniper, so he naturally knows the problems that snipers face.

After the empty shot, you can of course repeek.

But if the opponent has a sniper rifle, by the time you want to repeek, the opponent has already set up the position.

If you don't have a sniper rifle, the opponent's rifle fire will be enough to cause you a lot of trouble.

Among all snipers in the world, S1mple is the best at using the repeek ability, because he has a very good grasp of the timing of repeek.

Most snipers want to repeek, but they will most likely fail.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and a new skill appeared on the system panel.

【Desperate Dance (Basic)】

After eating and drinking, Jiang Yang planned to start working.

Because of the proximity to the Antwerp Challenger Group, it was difficult for them to arrange training matches.

They had review practice this morning, and the afternoon and evening are their free practice time.

The members of GL also finished their meals and returned to their computers one by one.

Jiang Yang turned on the live broadcast. There was no training match in the afternoon, so he was not afraid of any tactical content being exposed.

At this time, I heard Pasha asking: "Siuhy, are you going to open the ladder next?"

Siuhy responded: "I'm watching the video to find mistakes."

Pasha immediately laughed: "Then you sit on the sofa and watch, let me play CS for a while."

The training room only provided five computers, and as a coach he had no computer to play with.

I just watched IM dominate the ladder and kill people indiscriminately. Now I feel a little itchy and want to join the ladder and kill some people indiscriminately.

Siuhy quickly gave up his seat to him, and Pasha invited him, "Who wants to play a sweet double row with me?"

"Snax, do you want to join us? Let's restore VP's glory..."

Snax immediately said: "I suddenly feel like taking a nap, so I choose to leave this task to the young guys."

Then he turned around and asked, "IM, is this possible?"

"Is there any reward?"

"As a reward, I'll let you practice leg exercises with me for an hour in the evening." Pasha answered readily.

IM suddenly changed his tone: "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday. I'm in a bad state today. I've just lost five games in a row. I won't cheat you anymore."

Pasha turned around and asked, "Would Yang like to join my duo team? I'm in need of a good sniper right now."

Jiang Yang refused righteously: "I'm a terrible sniper. Junior and I are evenly matched. I'm not an excellent sniper!"

Jiang Yang had just started broadcasting when many netizens flocked into the live broadcast room.

Then I saw Pasha inviting people to play duo, and the GL members were "giving way to each other".

[Junior and I are evenly matched. I never thought that this sentence would come out of Young’s mouth.]

[Pasha is so useless nowadays, it’s hilarious that Young was scared to death by him]

[No one wants to help a lonely old man get a share, this is workplace bullying haha]

[It's just like my worst friend trying to find someone to play with]

Jiang Yang is certainly not a workplace bully.

It’s just that his score is too high and Pasha’s score is quite low.

It would take too long for two people to match.

Now that he has started the live broadcast, it is impossible for him to chat with his fans for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Afraid of hurting Pasha's feelings, Jiang Yang found a suitable excuse, "The main reason is that I just thought of a very special prop. I will try it out later. You can let Ultraman lead you to fight."

Ultraman took off his headphones and wanted to run away by peeing, but he saw Pasha standing behind him.

The huge body brought an extreme sense of oppression. Ultraman swallowed the rejection from his mouth with all his heart and said naturally: "It's okay, Pasha, I will help you to gain points today."

"Yang and IM are both noobs. Today I will show you who rules the ladder!"

Pasha smiled with satisfaction, patted Ultraman on the shoulder, and then sat back in his seat.

The moment Pasha turned his head, Ultraman looked at the two guys beside him with gritted teeth.

Are there any like you?
How did he shift the blame to someone else?
Why is it always me who gets hurt?

The top task of saving the coach's rank points was taken away by Ultraman, and Jiang Yang suddenly felt quite relaxed.

He quickly invited IM to start a sweet duo mode.

Jiang Yang was even humming a little tune in the live broadcast room while matching and fighting to the death.

During the deathmatch, he took a moment to glance at the comments, "Thanks to G2.young for the $100 subscription, and thank myself!"

Then he saw the subscribed friend asking.

[G2.young: Young, I am your fan during the G2 period. Can you give me an electronic signature on Steam? ]

Don't hit a smiling person. Live streaming must follow the boss's ideas.

The other party directly gave him a reward of 100 US dollars, so Jiang Yang could still realize this wish.

This practice of spending a small amount of money to ask a professional for an electronic signature is quite common in the entire CSGO circle, and Jiang Yang didn't think it was strange.

"Okay, buddy, send me your SteamID."

Soon Jiang Yang followed the netizen’s ID to his Steam homepage and found the message panel.

"Just write G2.young?" Jiang Yang asked.

The fan was very happy to get Jiang Yang's consent, so he told Jiang Yang to do whatever he wanted.

Jiang Yang in front of the camera nodded, then his fingers moved rapidly on the keyboard, and finally pressed the Enter key to confirm.

"Finish!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room took a closer look and immediately started laughing like crazy.

Because the message Jiang Yang left to this fan was neither from G2.young nor from GL.young.

It's GL.Forsaken.

[Le, has the holder of word.exe come back? ]

[I've long thought that Young doesn't look like a serious player. It turns out he's Frosaken, and now he's been discovered! ]

[Happy, Young has also started to play memes]

[Mori's USB flash drive, AI plug-in for loading objects, young is word.exe]

[Don't talk nonsense, it's all talent and sweat, the host's talent and the opponent's sweat]

Jiang Yang completed the job and quickly left a young ID for that netizen.

Then he heard the sound of Faceit successfully matching.

Before he switched the screen, he heard Pasha's surprised voice coming from outside the headset.

"IM, didn't you say you were tired of fighting?"

"Yang, where's the promise to run around the map looking for props?"

When he switched to the Faceit interface, he found that the double-row team of Ultraman and Pasha had collided with them.

Jiang Yang replied calmly, "I just finished inviting IMs."

IM immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, he just pulled me in and it opened right away."

Pasha's face was full of disbelief.

He patted Ultraman on the shoulder, "Let's teach them both a lesson today and show them who is the GL ladder god of war!"

"Let Yang see who is the real sniper of GL this time!" Ultraman took a look at the lineup, and there was a Shushu in it.

Now he felt more at ease and dared to fire confidently in front of the big brother in the team.

Jiang Yang also took a look at the lineup and was even more impressed.

The map is a desert city.

T side: young, IM, NIKO, Loba, malbsMd
CT side: ultimate, pasha, ZywOo, Broky, m0nesy
My goodness, he just got a sniper special attack skill, and the opponent has a five-sniper skill.

He even began to doubt whether he had evolved into an apEX.

After all, apEX is only a feast for four snipers, and he has met a brother with five snipers.

This is another Faceit All-Star game.

Netizens immediately became interested.

……

After entering the game, Pasha heard Zaiwu say on the microphone: "I'm so happy. Faceit finally matched me with four professional teammates. I haven't played a game like this for a long time!"

For Zaiwu, it was a blessing that Faceit didn't pull four low-scoring teammates for him.

With four professional teammates who can guarantee their strength, he wants to chew on a baguette and cheer.

Pasha did not correct the problem in Zaiwu's words, but gave enough emotional value: "I will guard B later. Whoever comes to this B area will die. Let you see the strength of the veteran!"

Zaiwu was also quite cooperative, "I will cheer for you then!"

The ten players from both sides quickly entered the server.

According to the previous discussion, Pasha brought Ultraman to area B for defense.

Pasha stood in B Elementary School, holding the USP against the wall at the window of B2 floor.

After thinking for a while, he decided to move the crosshairs one body length to the left.

After retiring for a few years, his reaction is not as good as before.

In this point, Ultraman imitated Snax and jumped to watch the defense.

When I was jumping and investigating, I saw a group of bandits on the B2 floor, and immediately shouted: "Ten thousand bandits on the B2 floor!!"

Pasha also perked up and reminded him in the voice: "Step back, I'll help you!"

The pasha opened fire at Busp.

"Go one!"

"Two past!"

"Three in the past!"

"It's all over!"

"Ultraman save me!! Yang you... stop, stop, stop!!"

As the attacker, Jiang Yang took the lead in launching a quick pistol attack in area B.

After a fierce firefight, Zaiwu saw five kill messages in the upper right corner.

[IM killed Ultimate with a headshot using Glock]

[young+IM killed Pasha with a butterfly knife]

[Broky kills Young with a headshot using USP]

[IM killed Broky with a headshot using USP]

[IM killed m0nesy with a headshot using USP]

Zaiwu has just returned to the supermarket entrance.

He glanced at the time above his head:
1 minutes 20 seconds.

He needs to face this regular 1V4.

Shushu's smile disappeared.

I was tired from the training match, so I came to the ladder to relax.

But this training match requires 1V4, and the ladder also requires me to fight 1V4 every time.

Where are you relaxing?

……
