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

Chapter 242: Many Leap of Faith Snipers Appear on the Third Floor

"Finally I can eat whatever I want without worrying about the schedule."

In a Belgian restaurant near the hotel, Ultraman took off his coat and prepared to have a big meal.

These days, apart from the hotel buffet, he has been fed up with relatively healthy and stable foods like fried chicken and hamburgers.

Jiang Yang and the waiter ordered a beer-braised beef dish. He was actually a little craving for other dishes.

They chose to dine in an outdoor area. Not far away was a small river with rippling water. The May breeze slowly blew on his face. Jiang Yang picked up the cup and took a sip of Coke. He felt really comfortable at this moment.

He was enjoying the relaxing moment after winning the championship, but after waiting for the food to be served, his teammates couldn't wait to attack the food.

GL's training has always been quite rigorous, with a minimum of 12 hours of training a day and no holidays for more than a month, which is a huge drain on their bodies.

In addition, everyone was too excited after winning the championship, so they stayed up until three or four in the morning before falling asleep, and no one had lunch.

Now a group of grown men have become gluttons.

Jiang Yang didn't feel very hungry when he woke up, but when the beer-braised beef he ordered was served, his stomach started to rumble.

He picked up a piece of beef with a fork and served it with some potato wedges on the side.

The rich starch aroma of potatoes combined with the juice of beef creates a very complex taste in the mouth that is very rich and satisfying.

Jiang Yang added some seasonings from the side, which gave it another flavor.

Only after he finished half of the dish did he lean back in his chair and say, "This is food for human beings!"

Although he likes to eat high-calorie foods such as fried chicken and hamburgers, he really can't stand eating those things every day during the competition. After all, he is not Broky, the guy who plans to eat KFC after winning the championship.

While his teammates were still enjoying their meal, Jiang Yang received a message on his phone.

Li Hua: "Hey brother! You were awesome last night!"

Jiang Yang started typing.

Jiang Yang: "Brother, your remarks are a bit ambiguous."

Li Hua ignored Jiang Yang's words and continued, "You don't know how exaggerated it was after you won the championship. There were people in our dormitory building shouting, 'Did you understand?' I didn't expect that."

Jiang Yang said with some surprise: "It's not that outrageous."

In his impression, CSGO has always been a relatively niche game, and its popularity must be quite wide. After all, who hasn't played CS1.6 in computer class when they were young?

However, due to consumer concepts and other issues, the market share of CSGO in China is not that high.

Even in high school, there were only a few boys who played CS.

However, with the emergence of Valorant, the number of players in the turn-based FPS category has increased, and the number of CSGO players is also constantly switching from Valorant, and the number is slowly increasing.

But Jiang Yang was still surprised to hear someone shouting in the dormitory building.

Although he had received the 18-year IG treatment in the circle of friends before, Jiang Yang felt that it was because of him that his classmates posted in the circle of friends.

But now it seems that something is not right.

Li Hua seemed to think that he didn't believe it, so he took a few photos and sent them to Jiang Yang.

The screenshot is from a group chat.

'Male Dormitory 11 Big Family'

[1121-Zhang Zifeng: Damn, Yang Shen won't really win the championship, right?
1909-Liu Bei: Oh my god, is there anyone in this group who wants to watch Antwerp?
1311-Wang Zihan: @1311-Li Hua, Yang Shen was this guy’s deskmate in high school, and we never missed a single game. Why are there so many people watching CS in this group?
1909-Liu Bei: I used to play with tiles

1021-Xie Chunnian: Tile batch!!
1909-Liu Bei: After I heard that a talented young man had appeared in CSGO, I started playing GO and found that GO was really fun.

1021-Xie Chunnian: That’s fine, we almost hurt our friends by mistake (handshake)

1121-Zhang Zifeng: I'm watching Leon Kai's commentary. This Faze is almost turning my brother Kai into something haha. "Sir Lamb, stop killing... Beautiful kill!"

1121-Zhang Zifeng: My brother Kai has two personalities.

【…】

【…】

When it comes to the last picture, the situation is a little different.

[1311-Wang Zihan: Why is it 1v4 again? Why is Faze so aggressive when it comes to overtime? Don’t they know how to play until overtime?

1311-Li Hua: I am convinced. This is a 1v4 game.
1121-Zhang Zifeng: Damn, cousin! It’s a 1 vs. 1 situation!
1607-Liu Yang: This broky is really not letting go. He shot me in the leg. He’s gone!
1121-Zhang Zifeng: WTF TF TF!!!

1311-Li Hua: What the hell is this shot? Broky was sniped to death from mid-air, ah!!!
1311-Wang Zihan: Wow brothers really won the championship!!

1311-Wang Zihan: Voice 6 seconds (This is awesome, my cousin really won the championship)

1121-Zhang Zifeng: We are the champions!! Yangshen is awesome!
Then the bottom turned into a repeater. 】

From the beginning, I accidentally found out that many people in the dormitory were watching the Antwerp final, and then we started chatting tacitly. I was worried about the progress of the final, afraid that Faze would come back from hell in the end, and was surprised that Jiang Yang killed the game.

These changes in emotions made Jiang Yang feel heavy inside.

He felt the fans' love for him and their hope that he could achieve success, which were the fans' most sincere emotions.

Li Hua: "I think you don't understand at all. You don't seem to realize what your victory means to CNCs. This proves that we also have people who can play CSGO well, and we can eventually touch that trophy."

Li Hua: "Brother, you are really awesome this time. When you return to China, you can choose your position. I will treat you!"

Jiang Yang was quite satisfied with what he saw.

This is how boys get along with each other. When you achieve a little success, they will only tease you. But if you really achieve something great, then they will only say "awesome".

He felt very honored by his brother's flattery.

Without hesitation, he found a photo of a mouse pad in the gallery and sent it over.

This is an autograph that Jiang Yang specifically asked NIKO for.

Jiang Yang: "I brought this for you. That's very considerate of you, brother!"

Li Hua: "Brother, you can even go back to your country and ride on my head!"

Jiang Yang made an appointment with Li Hua to have dinner together when he returned to China. Just as he was about to put down his phone and continue eating, he heard Ultraman sitting opposite him say, "Yang, look at the tweet I forwarded in the group. It's really cool!"

Jiang Yang went over to take a look out of curiosity and saw a very eye-catching title.

[V: I think we should have a new map graffiti]

Jiang Yang clicked on the link forwarded by Ultraman and saw the official Twitter account of CSGO.

The title of the first official tweet was this, and the following is the explanation:

[In order to commemorate the outstanding performance of player Young against Faze in the just-concluded 2022 Antwerp Major final, we plan to add an easter egg to the next nuclear crisis. The specific details are still under discussion, but the entire design team is already excited about this plan. 】

In the world of CSGO, this kind of map graffiti has not appeared for a long time.

So the sudden diligence of Lazy Dog Vacation Agency has sparked discussion among many netizens.

[When I was watching the last point of the final, I was thinking, could Young's operation lead to a map graffiti? Valve really did it! ]

[I have to say, Young's last move was really cool, a shot from the sky, a last-ditch fight with no room for maneuver]

Jiang Yang also received comments from many domestic netizens:

[This shot really feels like the god of death falling from the sky]

[Yang Shen's shot was actually very similar to Sen Po's blind sniper angel, but it was a long-distance blind sniper in the air. At that moment, Yang Shen's luck reached its peak]

[I think the scariest thing is that my cousin wanted to try it despite the situation. He really was living for death.]

【So cool! 】

[I can only say that after that final, many snipers who used Leap of Faith appeared on Nuke]

[Yeah, I also encountered them in the ladder. They are really brave. The sniper I bought for 4750 jumps whenever I want. The key is that few of them can hit the target.]

[Just tell me whether you dare to fight or not and that’s it]

Pasha slapped Jiang Yang on the back: "Good job, Yang, I really typed out the map graffiti for you, you are so talented!"

In the major semi-finals, Jiang Yang played a world-class 1v5 endgame, and a group of GL people speculated whether there would be map graffiti.

But although 1V5 is outrageous, it still does not meet the requirements of map graffiti.

A group of people felt it was a pity, but the requirements for map graffiti were indeed ridiculously high.

Unexpectedly, in the subsequent final, Jiang Yang performed a top-notch aerial blind sniper operation at the match point and graffitied the map.

At this moment, they were just amazed.

Analyst Ash said: "We still underestimated Yang. He is omniscient and omnipotent!"

Jiang Yang was almost embarrassed by what he had done.

At this time, Pasha raised his glass and said, "Come and have a drink, boys."

Then he motioned to IM: "Pour Yang a drink, he can only sit at the kids' table for now."

Jiang Yang rolled his eyes, feeling quite depressed.

Although he has achieved considerable success, Pasha always treats him like a child, which makes him unhappy.

Although he complained in his heart, he still raised his cup of Coke and clinked it with the cups of his teammates. "Although I have said it many times, I still want to say that what happened during this period is just like a dream." Pasha was full of thoughts for a while.

"I had retired for so many years, and new players in the circle didn't know my name, but I didn't expect that a chance encounter in Cato would change the fate of me and Snax."

Before Cato, he never imagined that one day he would return to the game, or even return to his beloved CS as a coach.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. I will also explain the team's arrangements. After winning the Major, we can rest in Antwerp for three days, and then return to the club together. Then we will have nearly a month's vacation, and everyone can rest and relax."

These words made everyone at the table feel relieved.

The nearly two months of devilish training had yielded considerable results, and it would be fine if they were allowed to continue training at this pace.

But now that they have finally won the Major championship, can’t they enjoy themselves?

After putting in tremendous effort for something, only with a good rest and more positive feedback will you have more motivation to do it in the future.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period, but we have also gained the best harvest, so go home and enjoy your vacation."

"But don't let me see someone not playing a single CS game during the entire holiday!"

Pasha teased with a smile.

He was actually a little worried that the players' current switching between too tight and too loose states would lead to these young people becoming too indulgent in the future.

"Of course not." Jiang Yang patted his chest and said, "Even if it's my rest time, I will ensure 8 hours of CS every day and will never let my shooting skills decline."

He looked at his teammates expectantly: "There is still some time left in the second half of the year. This is only our first championship, so we must win more. I want to get rid of the title of dark horse."

If someone suddenly wins a championship, he is a dark horse. But if he wins several championships in a row within a year, it is pure strength.

It was great to see the dark horse win the Major, but Jiang Yang now wanted to slowly wash away this title.

Pasha nodded and said, "I'm definitely confident about you. I'm mainly worried that they might play too crazy."

His eyes were mainly on IM. IM had a very bad schedule. If no one was watching him, he might really neglect training.

Noticing Pasha's gaze, IM quickly said, "No, no, just like Yang said, we still have to win a few more championships, and I will definitely stay in good shape."

"I hope so. This is my last advice to you as a coach."

Upon hearing this, Ultraman shouted: "Pasha, take the medicine, you will die from the medicine..."

Pasha successfully shut up Ultraman with a dominant elbow.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yang asked back.

Pasha smiled naturally: "Literally, I told the club that I want to resign."

"Don't!" siuhy was a little anxious.

During these few months, their entire team has been quite comfortable, and this state is exactly what siuhy envisions for a CSGO team.

The team has a big brother who can carry the team, a stable, trustworthy and taciturn rifleman, a breakthrough player who doesn't perform so well but occasionally has a flash of inspiration and can make a wonderful breakthrough, and an experienced libero who can give them a lot of advice. Although coach Pasha is not outstanding in tactics and pre-match work, he can adjust their emotions and make them less stressed during the game.

In normal times, it can also help them maintain a good schedule and life.

Analyst Ash can also help share professional content.

This is the perfect team in siuhy's mind.

If the team really consists of a group of guys with mediocre abilities, then he will have to consider acting arbitrarily and controlling everything in the game.

But that would be too tiring.

"Before, I thought it was a second-tier team, and it was enough for me to be a coach and gain experience, but now GL is already a Major champion team." Pasha said earnestly, "We can't lack this shortcoming. I know my level, and I definitely can't help you in this position, so instead of causing any conflicts later, it's better to leave a better memory."

"No, I think our team is pretty good. Pasha, this is your first time as a coach. Just accumulate experience and become better." Ultraman was a little anxious.

He was brought here by Pasha, so he was naturally close to Pasha. Now that Pasha was leaving for a while, he had a little bit of 'separation anxiety'.

Moreover, they had just won the championship and the team had to make personnel changes, which inevitably made Ultraman feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's not a matter of experience. I don't have much talent in this area." Pasha said calmly, "Maybe I will follow you to be a team leader and still stay in the team, but I am really not suitable to be a coach."

In the team, the coaching responsibilities are more shared by Ash and Siuhy, and he plays the role of a psychologist and team leader.

Not long after joining GL, he had the idea of ​​changing his position, but he was worried about affecting the mood of these guys, so he never said it.

Ash also echoed, "Pasha will at least stay in the team for the time being, and I should be the coach in the future. At least for now, GL's lineup will be stable."

Ultraman immediately said, "I will never leave. I will be the first one to stay!"

Ash shook his head at him: "The results this time were too good. We may not be able to stay with this lineup."

“Sometimes having too good grades is not a good thing.”

GL has always been a military team, although the club wants to become a more competitive team and wants to change the team building concept.

Maybe they thought so at the beginning. If GL stopped in the quarterfinals or semifinals this time, Ash also felt that this lineup could be completely preserved.

But the problem was that the results were too good and he eventually won the Major championship.

Now GL is a championship team, and its salary level is no longer worthy of their treatment.

Even if they want to keep this lineup, the club may not be willing to keep them.

After all, the contract is now in the hands of the club. The club can sell the entire team directly and make a lot of money once it gets the contract - this is what GL is good at.

As far as Ash knows, after the Major ended, four first-tier teams had come to GL to inquire about Jiang Yang's selling price.

There were also two teams that asked siuhy.

Winning the Major with an unimaginable performance, as the youngest Major MVP, Jiang Yang can go to most of the top teams as long as he opens his mouth.

Now he is very popular.

The other members of GL are also being watched by teams that have needs.

After the Antwerp Major ends, the transfer period will officially begin in some time. Ash feels that GL will not be able to maintain a complete lineup by then.

This youthful storm that once shone in Antwerp may soon shine in a different team.

Ash's words were quite sensible, and they caused the GL members to fall into silence.

They also began to think hard about these words, and had their own considerations in their hearts.

Snax took the initiative to say, "If Yang and the others are planning to leave, I will probably stay. But at that time, I might consider switching to a commanding position. Ash, you have to leave a position for me."

This time, winning the Antwerp Major rekindled snax's passion for the game.

However, during this confrontation, he also felt that his marksmanship had declined. The marksmanship of this group of young people was really too strong. Even if he relied on his experience to fight, he still found it difficult.

He didn't get stuck in a rut at this time. After all, he was already 29 years old, almost years old, so it was normal that his shooting skills were not as good as those of the young ones.

So if you still plan to stay on the field, you can only try to transform into a commander.

If GL still maintains the original lineup, then snax plans to look for other opportunities outside.

But the current situation is that young people seem to be leaving, so he can stay in GL to gain some experience and accumulate some command experience.

Jiang Yang pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment.

He actually wanted to keep this lineup. They successfully won the Major championship, and he wanted to win more championships with this group of teammates.

But everyone has their own considerations.

For example, he has always known that Ultraman actually wants to be a sniper in his heart.

Ultraman likes Jiang Yang very much in his heart because Jiang Yang is a very good sniper shooter, much better than Ultraman.

If Ultraman wants to find a new team on his own later, he can't stop him.

For example, in the case of snax, he is already very old. If a first-tier team invites him to join, how can they retain him?

Before, Jiang Yang always felt that there was no difference between small clubs and big clubs.

But now I find that there is still a big difference after all.

He took a sip of Coke to moisten his throat, then smiled and said, "But those things are still far away, compared to the transfer period that may come in a few months. You might as well think about the tactical updates after we come back from the offseason. The maps we are good at may also need to be updated, which is quite stressful."

"Don't wait until you come back from the offseason and get kicked to death by a second-tier team. That would be really fun."

Pasha chuckled and said, "If that happens, I promise I won't cosplay as Col's coach in the back."

Jiang Yang thought of that scene. They were too indulgent during the off-season, which led to them being beaten by a second-tier team in their first game back. Pasha was laughing with his hands covering his mouth behind them.

It's indeed a bit too abstract.

Snax rolled his eyes. “Were you still a coach at that time?”

"So, why think so much now?" Pasha raised his glass, "Now what you should do is enjoy your vacation!"

"Come on! Drink!"

Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his glass.

Under the flickering lights, in the evening breeze, the clinking of glasses, the wine reflects smiling faces.
