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

Chapter 192 C9: I suddenly felt milk coming out of my keyboard (7K)

After defeating G2, GL made some preparations in the lounge and soon faced the second game of the Legends group.

Their opponent is the NIP team from Sweden.

As the strongest team in Sweden, NIP has now transformed into an international team.

The last time they made big news was when device, the human limit, transferred to NIP, but this time in the Antwerp Major, device still hung up the exemption sign.

This inevitably makes some domestic players who just want to have fun feel a little regretful.

After all, if device and Jiang Yang faced off, the game would be quite interesting.

Whether or not we can see a relatively neutral gaming machine by then is another matter.

Although device was not present, NIP's condition was unexpectedly excellent.

The current members of NIP include REZ, es3tag, Brollan, hampus, and Plopski, each of whom is a well-known first-line player.

GL defeated G2 and entered the Legend Group 1-0.

NIP defeated the Little Bees and entered the 1-0 group. Even more cleverly, they defeated the Little Bees by a large score.

Therefore, GL did not feel too relaxed when facing NIP, but rather felt some pressure.

Because they also defeated the Little Bees by a large score, which shows that NIP is in excellent shape now.

At this stage of the legendary group, in addition to personal strength, team style restraint, and the state of the game are all very important factors.

No one can guarantee a team's victory.

But during the BP stage, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate choice.

The final map is locked as Death Amusement Park.

The GL level of the Death Amusement Park map is average, not as high as the GL level of the Building.

However, during the game, NIP's performance was somewhat unpredictable for them.

GL didn't care too much after failing to win the pistol round at the beginning and losing several points in a row.

But afterwards Jiang Yang felt strongly targeted.

He had no chance to engage in firefights in the early stages of five consecutive rounds, and NIP gave him the best evaluation - completely avoiding battles!
The lack of firepower on the front, coupled with the difference in proficiency on this map, caused GL to gradually make mistakes.

In the end, they only got 5 rounds as CT in the first half.

This is not a very advantageous score, but there is still some room for maneuver.

However, even though they won the pistol round in the second half, which gave them some room for error, it was still too small.

With a few minor mistakes, the final score of this BO1 was fixed at 11:16.

GL also suffered its first defeat in the Legend Group.

"We still haven't done it." The player wailed in the live broadcast room, "There are still some gaps in the details of this map between the two sides."

"And this NIP really put in a lot of effort and spent so much time researching GL?"

Normally, research into this practice is difficult to see from a bird's eye view.

But as this year's hottest new star, the director likes to switch to Jiang Yang's perspective.

Therefore, netizens who watched the live broadcast were able to feel the pressure from NIP through Jiang Yang's perspective.

Jiang Yang likes to use his position to find opportunities for the first kill in the early stages, but in this game, whether he was standing on the balloon, actively going to the sewer, or using the long-barrel sniper at B to fire the first shot, he often had no vision.

Coupled with various avoidance tactics, Jiang Yang's sniper rifle could only try to defend most of the time, and then he was forced to protect the gun.

[God REZ + Baolan with 60 original stones + Square Root Jiuye with a healthy hand + the terrifying one-touch Meowpass + Yaoshen who doesn't get sick, this NIP is truly a dynasty]

So where is my equipment?

[I choose Root Nine as the device for this game]

[This REZ amusement park is really awesome, he is indeed Forest's disciple and Friberg's only designated successor! ]

[NIP's rifle lineup has complete tactics and systems. The only shortcoming is the sniper rifle. But today my cousin was hit by BYD's tactics again. With a group of riflemen playing well, it was easy to beat them.]

[It’s raining heavily in the Death Amusement Park today (crying)]

[After a BO1, my cousin's stats were 11-15, and his ADR was only 55. He was really awful.]

[My cousin set a new record for the worst single picture today, with a rating of only 0.81, it’s a disaster! ]

……

One day later, the first day of the Legend Group competition officially ended, and there were many upsets and defeated teams.

The first was that in the opening game, G2 was defeated by GL with a large score, which sparked heated discussions.

Especially since so many interesting things happened during this game, the community’s video creation was closely following the Major and they cut out those clips at the speed of light.

The scene of NIKO's shrimp slip became the first happy scene in Antwerp.

In the Death Building, an accident-prone area, slipping is actually the norm.

The main reason was that the person whose feet slipped was NIKO, and the location was in the iron bridge area on the 50th floor.

The ID NIKO represents the highest level of CSGO. Even in the ladder, it is rare for people to fall to death in the Iron Bridge area. It may be difficult to see such a scene in 1000 games.

But NIKO, a high-level professional player, made such a low-level mistake. This contrast makes people smile.

The economic reset bomb thrown by snax made netizens see GL's prop reserves.

Because it is very difficult to throw a grenade to blow up point A and protect the gun position on the second floor of the bandit’s house.

Except for G2 being upset.

Many teams were also upset.

For example, the Galaxy Battleship was invaded by the Finnish Siren on the first day, and the entire battleship was at a standstill.

The international version of the bee was captured by NIP.

The charging Black Panther met Brother Long and was scared away.

Among the four major traffic teams, only NAVI survived.

The Major has pushed uncertainty to its peak. All teams want to go further and will use all means to achieve this.

This feeling made the netizens who were watching the game call it exciting. They felt that their homework was going to be done in every game. They were about to say the traditional CSGO saying "Silver coins look better than gold coins".

However, the players who had been predicting the bad performance said: "It's boring. I want to see a river of blood!"

……

Coming to the 1-1 group match, GL's opponent is C9, which has been reborn in North America.

As long as GL defeats C9, they will be able to enter the 2-1 group, and then win the next BO3 to advance to the championship group.

Because of the impact of the club being targeted, C9 has not been in very good shape in recent months.

Yesterday's confrontation with VP was described by netizens as a confrontation between two brothers in distress, and netizens remained skeptical about whether they could advance.

But C9 had a different opinion.

Due to political influence, their competitive form has not reached its peak in recent months, but it has been recovering recently.

The confrontation with VP on the first day of the Legend Group helped them find their rhythm.

Now they no longer believe the bullshit that e-sports has nothing to do with politics.

Although they were acquired by C9 and are nominally an American team, their logo is blue on the surface, but their heart is red.

They also want to prove themselves through their achievements and prove that even political sanctions cannot affect them.

Prove that you can still stand at the top of the world.

Although GL lost to NIP yesterday, they also lost to NAVI, so there is nothing much to say.

They don't think that GL lost to NIP because they played badly, nor do they think that they lost to NAVI because they were weak.

In this kind of BO1 game, BP and status are the biggest influencing factors.

Judging from the status, GL is indeed better than them.

But they have the advantage in BP. After all, they are also good at the maps that GL is good at, and they are even confident that they can play better.

……

In the CSBOY live broadcast room.

Seeing the live broadcast screen start to appear on the secondary stage, Masisi's expression suddenly brightened up and he ended his casual chat.

"Okay everyone in the live streaming room, our friends in the live streaming room have already started playing. Today, GL will play against C9."

"This is a BO1 match. GL has been in pretty good form recently. I'm sure they'll give us a show..."

Before Masisi finished speaking, MO on the side quickly interrupted:
"Play a game where we take it seriously, give it our all, and don't choke!"

As an assistant, Ming Riqing also reminded: "Xixi, please be careful with your words and don't think too highly of GL, okay?"

She felt that GL lost to NIP that day because of Masisi’s overly inflated speech.

Masisi looked innocent: "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just making my professional judgment."

"But I believe GL will definitely take it seriously and go all out, and will not let their training results go to waste. But you have to know that although C9 is not in good shape now, their ceiling is extremely high. They were once a team that suppressed NAVI and made them unable to raise their heads."

[It’s stable! Let’s hold high the C9 flag! ]

[Xixi's words scared me, but luckily MO stopped me from doing so]

【C9: I suddenly felt milk coming out of my keyboard】

[Come on, cousin, teach polyps a lesson! ]

[Go, go, go, break the record, okay? ]

【…】

It is already past 10 o'clock in the evening in China, but for domestic CSGO fans, it is actually prime time.

As Jiang Yang’s relatives, the comments in CSBOY’s live broadcast room were even more exaggerated.

At this moment, they saw the GL members in the camera huddled together and began the final pre-match mobilization.

"I think yesterday's BO1 also made you feel the real pressure of the Major. We were able to crush G2, and NIP was also able to suppress us if they played well."

Pasha put his strong hands on the shoulders of his team members, as if he wanted to give them strength in this way.

"Entering the Major, this is the norm. We must be prepared for every opponent to perform well, but at the same time, we must not be discouraged. We are also one of the best CSGO teams in the world."

"C9 wants to prove itself, and we also want to step onto that stage with the audience and enjoy our offline time. Whoever wins in the end will have to compete in the game." Pasha then looked at Jiang Yang, "Yang, don't feel any psychological pressure. In yesterday's game, the opponent targeted us, and we handled it a little bit poorly..."

"Pressure?" Jiang Yang shook his head. "I don't feel too much pressure. NIP did play well yesterday. It's just that we didn't perform well. It's normal for the level to fluctuate. It's enough to play well in today's game."

Pasha was a little worried that they would be upset because of their failure in yesterday's game. After all, NIP is not a traditional strong team, but they still lost.

But in fact, Pasha's worries were a bit unnecessary.

GL has passed the period when the team was just formed and would experience huge psychological fluctuations due to a simple victory or defeat.

They are now happy because of victory and will be sad because of defeat.

However, the defeat will not cause too much fluctuation in mentality, affecting the competitive state in subsequent games.

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Besides, I am quite familiar with Nafany on the opposite side and understand his command style. It is not difficult to deal with him."

The skill of [Best Friend] is flashing on the system panel...

"It seems that my worries are unnecessary." Pasha smiled brightly, "Then finally, GL!"

"come on, come on, come on!"

Amid the cheers of the GL crowd, players from both teams took their seats and quickly began warming up.

This BO1 match quickly entered the BP stage.

Pasha had finished the game of rock-paper-scissors and was looking at him with a somewhat speechless expression.

siuhy's sharp comment: "It seems that I have made plans for the backhand BP."

IM asked Pasha: "Is it the left hand that's failing this time?"

Before Pasha could answer, Ultraman answered: "Actually, it's dead muscles that won't work!"

Jiang Yang and IM instantly widened their eyes and looked at Ultraman.

At this moment they all wondered who had possessed Ultraman.

Ultraman thinks that he is in the game and Pasha will not give him the love of Iron Fist.

But Pasha grabbed his shoulders and gave him a coach-style massage, which made Ultraman's mask of pain appear.

Jiang Yang and IM were laughing beside them.

Soon after they finished joking, the BP officially began.

As one of the quasi-first-tier teams, C9's strength lies in its map pool.

They don't have a standard default Ban map, so there are more options when playing against many teams.

However, among the seven maps, there are still some slightly weaker maps, so after careful consideration, they chose to ban Nuclear Crisis and Ancient Ruins.

After careful consideration, GL banned the three maps: Death Amusement Park, Purgatory Town, and Scorching Sand City.

The logic of banning maps mainly considers C9's map win rate and performance.

That left the Death Tower and Desert City for C9 to choose from. GL thought C9 would lock on the Tower, after all, C9 was once the world's No. 90 Tower, and at its strongest, the Tower's win rate was even as high as over %.

However, the final result surprised them a little.

C9 removed the building and left the maze as the final map selection.

……

In the C9 player seat, nafany had a triumphant smile on his face.

During the BP phase, they predicted that GL would keep these two maps.

They were indeed once known as the world's tallest building, but the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

Their building was so outstanding that it was later studied and understood by various teams.

The best maps can also turn into the worst maps at some point.

So in the end he chose to take the enemy by surprise and created the maze city.

Because of NAVI, their map is not bad at all.

So I am more confident in the maze city.

Before the Legend Group started, he actually wanted to try his hand at fighting with 'Yuan You'.

After all, he had been watching Jiang Yang breaking various records and shocking various players on the CS news, and even the scene of him being beaten by King Han and making him smile bitterly could be replayed in his mind now.

He was quite curious whether his 'original friend' was really that powerful.

GL vs. C9
Map: Lost City in the Desert

T: nafany, sh1ro, hobbit, Alx1e, interz
CT: young, siuhy, ultimate, IM, snax
The pistol round officially begins.

"Okay, welcome to watch the 2022 Antwerp Major Legends Group 1-1 stage, GL vs. C9. I am the commentator for this game, Masisi."

"I am the commentator CaptainMO."

"I am assistant Tomorrow Qing."

Masisi asked as usual: "Who are you?"

[I am a rotten egg playing with machines]

【I am frosken's word.exe】

【I am NIKO's Desert Eagle】

【…】

Masisi ignored the role-playing in the barrage and quickly got into the state to start commentating on the game.

"The pistol round begins. GL will defend first. This is a 3A2B start. Focus on defending the middle lane on both sides."

"Red Star... no, C9." Ma Xixi said nonsense, "C9's A zone exploded in a wave."

(Both sides’ positions at this moment)
"C9 wanted to start the game in area A, but GL's three players bet on area A, which was exactly what GL wanted. My cousin was still downstairs in A3, which was a perfect position for counter-clearing!"

"Do you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty? The anti-Qing movement is coming!"

Jiang Yang asked Ultraman for a flash bomb and waited patiently downstairs in Building A2.

The moment the flash bomb exploded, he peeked out from the downstairs of A2.

Ultraman’s flash bomb was very powerful. Jiang Yang immediately spotted the bandit in the sandwich who was covering his eyes and singing “Boys Don’t Cry”.

He is no longer the Jiang Yang who couldn’t even play USP during the Stockholm period.

The extensive training in the past six months has given him a better understanding of USP.

He fired rhythmically, and when the second bullet was fired from the muzzle, Jiang Yang successfully killed the sandwich bandit.

Then he moved a little to the left and saw two bandits under the A1 platform.

His touch was quite good. After knocking down the bandit who was sandwiching him, he pulled him over and directly located the opponent's head. His touch was quite smooth.

The IM behind the long box was also pulled out to help. Jiang Yang could clearly feel bullets flying from the side.

"A flashbang directly hit the opponent. What a good flash and a good person. My cousin used this flash to reduce the number of opponents. The USP killed the second one, and the third one was also shot in the head!"

"Although his position was locked, he killed all the people who attacked from A1!"

Jiang Yang used Ultraman's flash to shoot out and hit three people in a row. His touch was immediately soaring, "What a flash Ultraman!!"

Jiang Yang praised it highly.

Seeing that there was no one in A1 for the time being and there were only three bullets left in the magazine, he wanted to change the bullets.

But then I heard Ultraman shout, "He jumped down from the A2 building. I'm here to find you!"

Jiang Yang immediately stopped changing his bullets and turned around to see a bandit falling from the sky, with the man's head right above his crosshairs.

Jiang Yang pulled the trigger subconsciously.

"Snapped!"

[Young killed Sh1ro with a headshot using USP]

Sh1ro’s whole face was covered with a mask of pain. He didn’t even land on the ground but was picked up by Jiang Yang. How could he be so accurate?
"Sh1ro jumped down to make up the enemy, but was killed in vain. Your Sunshine God didn't even give him a chance to land! With a wave of crazy damage from the USP, he already got a quad kill!" Masisi got excited, "Did he get a pentakill? The last one is left at A1!"

Jiang Yang's crazy output hit four people in a row, and his touch was extremely hot.

He could probably tell that the last bandit was the one who dropped the item, so he took the initiative to shout in the voice chat: "Give me a pentakill, give me a pentakill!"

As he spoke, he walked out from downstairs of A2, and then looked at the A1 area bit by bit with the help of preview.

In the pistol round, Nafany threw props to his teammates, which was a bit late.

All his teammates were killed, and he had no desire to fight 1V5. He just wanted to kill as many as possible to reduce the opponent's economy.

After getting a quad kill, Jiang Yang boldly stepped onto the A1 platform.

At this moment, it is standing in a posture of holding A1 and A2 at the same time.

This bold attitude shows Jiang Yang's surging confidence at the moment, but it will always reveal a little bit of timing.

As soon as nafany came out from A1, he saw Jiang Yang's side profile and immediately aimed and attacked.

The first shot successfully caused damage, and he made a second attempt to hit Jiang Yang in the head.

But after being hurt, Jiang Yang seemed like a disturbed BOSS.

Turn around and squat.

"Snapped!"

[Young killed Nafany with a headshot using USP]

"He turned his head and there was a bullet. He didn't give you any chance to operate at all." Masisi said with a smile, "This pistol round started with a lightning strike, and he hit five heads directly. It's too accurate!"

"It's really a good match between flash and good people. Ultraman's two flash bombs are really white, worthy of the power of light. Your cousin also seized the opportunity of this flash bomb and hit people in the face. Siuhy and Snax didn't even see the people. This point is over."

The director then turned the camera to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang was fist-bumping with his teammates, happily sharing their emotions.

At this time, Yu Guang and Nafany in the C9 fighting room looked at each other.

He smiled and raised his 'Genshin Impact' mouse pad.

Jiang Yang's mouse pad is really sexy, and coupled with the bright two-dimensional patterns, the comments in the live broadcast room start to become less serious.

[Is this the power of the second dimension? ]

[Fuck, it’s Yuan! ]

[So this game is a reunion of friends]

[Cousin: Only 998, take the same gun home]

Amidst the laughter and cheers from the barrage, the game quickly entered the second round.

Jiang Yang successfully got a pentakill in the pistol round. With good financial situation, he directly picked up the M4A1.

Siuhy looked at the data provided by analyst Ash: "After losing the pistol round, Red Star should be more willing to perform ECO. In this round, we should try to increase the distance to fight."

"Let's move around the middle lane. IM and Yang will join me in setting up firearms at the arch and VIP, and directly suppress them with firearms."

After the countdown ended, because Jiang Yang was in the second position, he considered going to the archway to defend.

He took the initiative to give Arch a one-way cigarette, and then came to confront the bandits.

But after watching for a few seconds, C9 did not immediately make a move.

Jiang Yang had some possible expectations in his mind.

If C9 is really pure ECO, then in addition to trying a random pull in the middle lane, giving a flash bomb and trying from the A2 building might be a more reasonable choice.

So he turned around quickly and went directly to the diving platform with Building A2.

At this moment, he saw a bandit in Building A2 appear in his field of vision. Jiang Yang pulled the trigger without hesitation, and then he heard a "click" and his vision went completely white.

"Building A2 is about to fly!" Jiang Yang was reporting the location while his hands were not idle either.

It is relatively easy to suppress the M4A1, but it is difficult to master it because its subsequent trajectory is difficult to control.

It often happens that after firing a burst of bullets, it looks like someone has been killed, but in the end, you are killed later and then check the damage to find that it was only two bullets.

But these are just basic skills for Jiang Yang. Especially after learning Brother Ji's gun control ideas, he would often go to deathmatches to practice this kind of sweeping transfer and sweeping gun suppression.

The moment he was tricked, he tensed his forearms and used his muscle memory to control the trajectory towards Building A2.

"C9 sent a flashbang to the second floor, intending to place a mine pack directly to make money!" Masisi could easily discern C9's thoughts.

"GL, will you give me a chance? My cousin was beaten on the platform with his A1..." Masisi's voice suddenly got louder, "But this wave of sweeping shots suppressed the enemy!"

"Oh!! This is an unstoppable suppression. He melted everyone on the A1 floor with a burst of bullets from A2, killing four people in one go!!"

After Jiang Yang finished firing a volley of bullets and regained his vision, he noticed four kill messages in the upper right corner.

[Young killed Sh4ro with a headshot using an M1A1]

[Young killed Nafany with a headshot using an M4A1]

[Young killed interz with a headshot using an M4A1]

【young makes...】

Looking at the four kill information in the upper right corner, Jiang Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Ah!" The other members of GL were also shocked, but at this moment, this voice of doubt was the greatest compliment to Jiang Yang.

siuhy cheered loudly: "They don't understand ECO Yang's ability at all!"

"They were all killed after I fired a volley of bullets." Jiang Yang explained to his teammates with a smile.

Ultraman successfully peeked at the last bandit at A1 in the police house at this time. He deliberately did not fight him, but shouted excitedly: "Yang is the last one at A1, kill him! You will get a double five kill!"

Jiang Yang did not refuse the invitation from his teammates.

While changing the bullets, he also heard footsteps coming from the A1 jump platform.

He stood on the diving platform for a while, watching the other side with no intention of coming out.

Just pick up A1 and jump over.

The bandit on the A1 platform actually dared to fight back. Jiang Yang unceremoniously pulled the crosshairs over and killed him with a burst of bullets.

After getting this kill, Jiang Yang cheered excitedly: "Sure enough, ECO is the most interesting. I love this feeling so much."

[Fuck! Double pentakill at the start, his ADR damage is already 430]

[Is this the power of the original god? I have to play it now]

[Rumor has it, Yang Shen is sick today. He sneezed this morning.]

[Oh no, it's sick yang! ! ]

[Exaggerated, 2 kills in these 10 rounds, you tell me this is a Major? ]

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were amazed. They had never expected that Jiang Yang's touch would be so hot.

I got a pentakill at the start of the pistol round, and another five in the ECO round.

This is really a bit scary.

It's not just them.

As the opponent, nafany opened TAB and looked at Jiang Yang who was 10/0/0.

It's also quite helpless.

In these two rounds, Jiang Yang single-handedly defeated them all in seconds. What else is there to say?

He could only comfort himself that no matter how good Jiang Yang's current data was, GL was only leading by two points.

But I started to feel a little worried inside.

As a team that often has a love-hate relationship with NAVI, they know too well how terrible it can be when their star players are in hot form.

And now the question is.

GL's star player is already feeling hot!
