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

Chapter 241: Killing Old Friends

From the conclusion of this mission, Jiang Yang learned about Lao Deng's past experiences, and also learned how that genius boy slowly conquered the entire eight square meters.

He sighed in his heart, but he understood more clearly that he should not slack off because of some of the achievements he had made now.

I seized the opportunity of the Major this time, but I may not be able to do so next time.

He is only 17 years old now, an age with great potential.

He still wants to continue to fight and make breakthroughs, instead of being like the Gun Brother, who becomes a nobody after winning a Major championship.

Jiang Yang doesn't want to be a flash in the pan in the CS world.

This Antwerp Major is just the beginning, and he will achieve many more results in the future.

His first Grand Slam trophy, his first TOP1.

After entering CS2, it still stands at the top after the version change, waiting for donk to debut and defeat this potential rival!

Jiang Yang still has many things he wants to achieve.

The words in front of him continued to float, but many of them were task descriptions that Jiang Yang was familiar with.

It wasn't until the end of the EPL's mission description that the text in front of me appeared different.

[At the age of 31, you faced the old Galaxy Battleship in the Antwerp Major. It was hard to imagine that the two older teams of you would eventually stand in the Major finals. In the finals, Old Deng performed outstandingly and finally defeated one of its old rivals, Faze, achieving Old Deng's counterattack! ]

[Mission: Perform well in the Antwerp Major...]

[The task has been completed, and the task completion degree is being checked. The score is SSS+. ]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining counterattack points 310000...]

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

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining the Rain Outfield Intermediate Experience...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for achieving chopper overclocking status...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining the advanced experience of malbsMd's ruins...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for obtaining the body sweeping skill of Zontix...]

Jiang Yang took a quick glance and could only say that it was worthy of being the reward for winning a Major. The content of the reward was quite exaggerated.

There are as many as 31 counterattack points. Although the counterattack points do not play a particularly exaggerated role for Jiang Yang now, sometimes good things appear in the system store, and it would be uncomfortable if the counterattack points are almost gone.

He continued to look down and saw a random skill level upgrade card. He had obtained this thing before and he used it without hesitation at this moment.

[Best Bad Friend (Intermediate) - You Should Kill Your Old Friend]

[Note: When the game enters the old friend stage, it can greatly increase the excitement of Lao Deng, and greatly increase the excitement when facing "old friends". ]

Good man, they must be old friends.

When it comes to me, I should kill my old friend.

But you know what, Jiang Yang really likes it.

After all, it doesn't feel like hitting a stranger, no matter how hard you hit him.

Yesterday's Major final was just too tense. If he played against Broky normally, he and Broky would definitely start to argue with each other passionately, and giving each other the middle finger would be a very common action.

This way the fighting will be more exciting.

It’s just that he hasn’t been in many teams, so he probably has fewer opportunities to meet his old friends, which is quite a pity.

He continued to look down.

The first is Rain God's outfield experience. Although they successfully defeated Rain God, in the confrontation of the nuclear crisis, the greatest pressure Faze gave them came from the outfield.

Therefore, when GL was preparing for BP before the game, they had already given the most difficult part to Ultraman to handle the pressure.

Ultraman had prepared himself to be suppressed during the confrontation, but in the end he was still defeated many rounds.

If Jiang Yang relied solely on the rifle, he might not be able to gain any advantage from the Rain God, so the Rain God's field experience was of great help to him.

And this is experience, which is also what Jiang Yang lacks most.

Although Jiang Yang has won the Major championship today, his game time is only over 3000 hours. With the help of the system, his actual game time must be higher than that.

He relies more on his combat instinct and intuition to play the game, so these experiences are definitely helpful to him, and even if he can apply what he has learned to other situations, it is also very good.

Jiang Yang continued to read.

Chopper's overclocking state, this thing can only be used by a commander, and he knows that Chopper is the commander. Jiang Yang really feels that it is not as good as some of the commands he calls.

After all, Jiang Yang is GL's battle commander, and he can think of everything when a real fight breaks out.

Jiang Yang also watched the semi-final match between Green Dragon and Faze. He really felt that Chopper's command was a bit stiff. He ordered food in area B in various different ways, which made him laugh when watching the game.

So he didn't particularly care about this.

However, Jiang Yang was very concerned about malbsMd's ancient ruins skills.

Ancient Ruins is not a strong map of GL now, and it will not be chosen unless necessary.

Jiang Yang believes that he has not played for too long, which has created a gap in his understanding of this map compared to the first-line teams.

And with the end of the Antwerp Major, the focus of GL's map pool may have to change, and Ancient Ruins may be brought up at that time.

When he was on faceit, he remembered running into malbsMd in the ancient ruins several times, and the fights were always quite intense.

Although the ladder and the competition are completely different games, if you can't play well in the ladder, you will definitely not play well in the competition.

malbsMd can be said to be an expert in ancient ruins. His experience on this map can play a significant role for Jiang Yang.

Next came the zontiX's body sweeping technique, a technique Jiang Yang didn't really want to learn.

If Jiang Yang is approaching retirement age, he might change his firing method in order to pursue the lower limit, and change his habit of aiming at the head to aiming at the body.

But now Jiang Yang is in his rising period and his level is constantly improving. At this time, there is no need to consider this kind of playing method that lowers his upper limit.

Pursuing more headshot kills and faster killing speed, this is the tolerance that Jiang Yang pursues.

So Jiang Yang was not very interested in Zontix's physical skills.

He began to actively learn from Yu Shen's field experience and malbsMd's ancient ruins experience.

Thoughts were flying in his mind, and some of the Rain God's ideas and empirical playing styles in the outfield appeared in his mind.

Different from the previous impression flow, Yu Shen's outfield play is actually very aggressive. He likes to use the deep fire in the outfield for a moment to prevent the attacking party from getting more information in the early stage.

Then use Broky's sniper rifle to do whatever you want.

After the preliminary formulaic map control is completed, there are several very important time points that need to be paid attention to. Then communication at this position is very important. It is very important to let the people at the main gate or warehouse cooperate with him at any time.

In some ways, Jiang Yang's ideas coincided with Yu Shen's, but Yu Shen's timing in the outfield and the combination of props in several different positions that he was good at still made him shine.

At present, for Jiang Yang, the thinking of these top professional players is to spend a lot of time analyzing the game videos and reviewing them in a targeted manner.

Let Jiang Yang have some exchanges of ideas.

After all, his level has reached a stage where he cannot learn other people's ideas completely, but can only refer to them for reference.

Soon his consciousness entered into mablsMd's advanced experience of the ruins.

His vision went dark, and the next second mablsMd crossed his arms across his chest, as if he had turned black.

Jiang Yang also heard a devilish whisper: "The next map... is the ruins!"

Jiang Yang's mind began to appear the scene of mablsMd operating in the ruins. This was a long-range gun attack.

mablsMd immediately cooperated with his teammates' flash bombs to seize the middle lane.

He came to the edge of the incendiary bomb on the opposite side, which was an information blind spot.

Then, after deflecting the opponent's flash bomb, he turned around and stood upright, waiting for the opponent's counterattack.

At the same time, Jiang Yang noticed an interesting action.

That is, while mablsMd was waiting for the other side to come and counterattack, he kept twisting left and right on the spot.

In other words, he was prepared to move and fire throughout the entire process.

Sure enough, the next second when CT appeared in the field of vision.

mablsMd instantly pulled to the left, leaving the opponent's field of vision, then suddenly pulled to the right, while moving the crosshairs to the opponent's head.

With a bang, the CT who came to fight against the Qing Dynasty was shot in the head and taken away before he could even hit mablsMd.

Immediately afterwards, mablsMd was hit by bullets from VIP, and his health was reduced to low by the smoke.

mablsMd was keeping an eye on the VIP the whole time, but his attention was focused on the donut. Because of the smoke bomb blocking his way, his side was temporarily safe.

At this time, mablsMd is moving forward in a stage peek state.

The moment Donut sees him in his field of vision, he will have the right to engage in normal fire.

Not being attacked first by the opponent is the greatest fairness for a rifleman with low health.

mablsMd crouched down and positioned himself, then killed the opponent instantly.

Jiang Yang's eyes lit up. Although he was quite versatile, he didn't have a comprehensive grasp of the small details of riflemen. This time he really felt like he had learned something.

In the following confrontation, the player mablsMd showed Jiang Yang his understanding of the Ancient Ruins map.

The various shooting angles in different areas are all top-notch.

From the opponent's perspective, he always floats around and gets discovered, and then when he appears the second time, he's already killed people in seconds, which is quite exaggerated.

An excellent shooting angle can give people a lot of advantages in the shooting.

Jiang Yang is very good at using relatively weird positioning to gain these advantages, but sometimes the positioning is too forced.

In CSGO, a game that tends to be more competitive, the community learning atmosphere is quite strong.

Players often watch professional players' games or ladder videos, hoping to learn something.

However, many community bloggers have recommended to netizens that you should not learn "Sen Zai Yang"'s POV, because you will not learn anything useful at all.

S1mple's playing style is too aggressive, which requires too high a level for ordinary players.

Zaiwu’s playing style is so clear that after watching a game, you may not understand why he dares to play like that.

Jiang Yang's positioning is too weird. Many times it seems that he has gained an advantage by positioning, but in fact he uses positioning + outrageous reaction to force the advantage.

This excellent understanding of positioning was of great help to Jiang Yang.

At this time, Jiang Yang entered the system and saw the familiar small words appear in front of him again.

【31-year-old Lao Deng launched a counterattack in the last dance, and played an unrepeatable "map graffiti" level operation in the Major finals. You completed the operation that you could not complete when you were young. It is hard to imagine why you become more and more amazing as you get older.】

[Hidden task: Perform an operation that cannot be replicated.]

[Task rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for receiving a voice pack of Leon Kai's "I didn't want to make this video originally." ]

[Congratulations to Lao Deng for winning Hex: Memory Corridor. 】

Jiang Yang pinched the beard that was growing on his chin.

He didn't expect that in addition to the rewards for winning the Major, there were also hidden tasks.

This wave is a pleasant surprise.

The previous best friend was the one who completed the hidden task by getting more than 100 kills during the super long overtime in EPL.

Leon Kai's voice pack is of no use to Jiang Yang.

His attention was focused on the Hex behind him.

Hex: Memory Corridor

[Explanation: The most constant thing in this world is that everything is changing. Even if you work hard, you will still worry about gains and losses, and often doubt the effectiveness of these efforts. But the memory corridor can allow you to confront your past self in a concrete way, allowing you to truly feel the changes in your state. ]

Jiang Yang smiled.

Just like in many TV dramas, the protagonist’s final inner demon is himself.

Does this Hex also ask him to defeat himself?
His consciousness quickly immersed in the system and he began to check the effects of the system.

Please select your past self:
Young (2023 Paris Major)

Young (2024 IEM Katowice)

Young (2024 IEM Dallas)
...]

The system gave me my past self all the way up to the Antwerp Major in 2032.

In other words, he could even fight against the simulation of his yesterday self within the system.

This is when things get interesting.

CSGO has always been a game that requires deliberate practice. When you are a new player and just start practicing shooting, that stage is when you can feel the changes in yourself the most.

But as your level improves, you have to compare the game videos to discover these changes.

By Jiang Yang’s stage, even from the POV of the game, the changes were not so obvious.

But now that I can visualize the fight with myself, everything becomes much simpler.

Jiang Yang did not hesitate and chose the young (2023 Paris Major) version to start.

The picture in front of him gradually blurred, and he quickly sat in front of the computer, entering a 3v3 endgame.

The map is Sand II, Jiang Yang is on the attacking side, and they are going to launch a wave of small A bombs to speed up.

As A Xiaoyan was given out and two high flashes were thrown, Jiang Yang followed the simulated teammates to advance forward.

The sound of a sniper rifle's gunfire soon rang out, and the sniper rifle bullets flew out from the A channel, killing the teammate in front of Jiang Yang with one shot.

But Jiang Yang's excellent positioning allowed him to get close to his teammates. The moment his teammate was sniped, he saw the position of A's sniper rifle.

The positioning is too radical, a little too crazy.

Jiang Yang pulled over with his sniper rifle and successfully killed it with one shot.

He also thought about his playing style when he debuted in Stockholm. His positioning and timing were not so reasonable, but his quick reactions and fighting spirit helped him seize a lot of timing in some aspects.

Jiang Yang was quite proud of himself at the time. After all, he dared to fight anyone at that time, and relied on his marksmanship to beat those star players.

But now when I think back on it, I really reaped the benefits of my debut.

He continued to play for several rounds and found that what he felt was indeed correct.

When he first debuted, he had great talent, but he lacked a lot in terms of skills and tactics. However, his recklessness still allowed him to make a name for himself.

Jiang Yang quite missed the simple-minded self back then. Even though less than 9 months had passed, he was still full of energy and thought, if you fuck me once, I will fuck you back right away.

Now that I've been tricked once, I'm thinking more about where the problem is and whether I should take advantage of this point to attack the opponent and catch him off guard.

There was nothing wrong with the ideas in both stages, but his current ideas were a little deeper.

He also became much stronger.

After thinking this through, Jiang Yang did not continue to test 'Lao Deng' during those time periods in between.

He directly focused on himself at the '2032 Antwerp Major'.

Soon my consciousness sank into it.

This time the map is Nuclear Crisis.

This was a 5v5 spear confrontation. The instruction Jiang Yang received in his mind was to coordinate with the feint attack outside and launch a wave of ironclad advancement offensive.

After everything was ready, Tieban launched a direct bomb attack.

As a flash bomb exploded, two breakthrough players took the lead in the charge.

When the flash bomb exploded, Jiang Yang only heard the sound of the sniper rifle.

Two teammates in front of him fell one after another, but Jiang Yang was not in a hurry. He calmly set up the iron slope and successfully sniped the main defender of the iron slope to death.

Then he used a spinning jump to try to shake the sniper rifle on the third floor.

"--boom!"

But the sniper's bullet was merciless and killed him with one shot.

Looking at the three kill information in the upper right corner, Jiang Yang was a little confused.

I'll die if I just spin and jump and show my arms?

Am I that strong? Why don't I know it?
The simulated self was so strong that Jiang Yang himself was a little overwhelmed.

However, Jiang Yang had used a sniper rifle to kill many spinning and jumping enemies, so he was not that surprised.

But the simulated strength of 'Antwerp Jiang Yang' still made him excited.

Jiang Yang’s consciousness continued to sink into it.

He is the kind of person who enjoys fighting against the strong.

The strength of 'Antwerp Jiang Yang' aroused his competitive spirit.

However, Jiang Yang’s winning rate in the final game was not particularly high, and it depended more on the map camp.

After all, it’s a move that is taught by a master and cannot be broken!
But this game of chess was not without gain. During the game, Jiang Yang also clearly felt from his opponent's perspective how difficult he was to deal with and some of his special habits.

For example, when playing defensive sniping on the third floor, Jiang Yang prefers to stand closer to the left side.

In this area on the third floor, he prefers to set up his snipe against the wall behind him.

These are small details, but they make a big difference to the opponent.

If there are some bad points, they can be changed slowly.

Jiang Yang let out a long sigh. The intensity of today's simulation training was quite high.

He kept sparring until Pasha called him to finish his meal, then he stopped.

I learned a lot today. Although the experience of players like chopper and zontix is ​​of little use, the map experience of rain and maslbMd, as well as Hextech who can practice with me can definitely play a big role.

If he absorbs all of these, his strength will undergo a qualitative change in the next competition!
