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

Chapter 297: hooxi: "Now is fantasy time..."

After Blast's Spring Finals, Europe was cool for two days in June, and then it became hot. Even if you hide in the base, you will feel uncomfortable because you can't find a suitable air-conditioning temperature.

Of course, for most CSGO players, the summer has little impact. Except for the fact that players with sweaty hands will consume more toilet paper, the chassis of economical players will make a roar, and the forearms of players without air conditioning will be bound to the table, there is really no impact.

Normally, after each competition, GL would travel around the local area for a few days.

But the weather was too hot and they really didn't want to go out, so they chose to return to the GL base.

After returning to GL, under the leadership of coach Ash, they briefly reviewed the final.

In the final match between Relics and NAVI, the game was very intense. They had their moments of outstanding performance, but NAVI's outstanding performance was also commendable.

After the review, GL went on a short vacation.

However, this time the vacation will not last for several months like the one after the Major.

This time they were just given a short vacation of nearly 10 days.

After 10 days, they still have to participate in some online competitions to maintain their touch.

Similarly, they also have to work hard to participate in the qualifiers for major competitions that will start a few months later, in order to compete for the qualifications for those major competitions.

This is the pain of small teams.

They were formed not very long ago, and those top competitions all require them to start from auditions and then go through many difficulties before reaching the main competition.

They participated in the previous few competitions early on, but as a rookie team, their participation in competitions was not that frequent.

Now we have entered a period of hiatus between competitions.

At least they are not qualified to participate in the upcoming IEM Cologne in July and can only watch other teams compete.

However, after hearing the news, all the top teams breathed a sigh of relief.

Even my cousin said in a live broadcast: "Luckily GL didn't participate, otherwise we would have been competing for the runner-up again."

The terrifying suppression power displayed by GL in Blast had a huge impact on their worldview.

Jiang Yang was also happy to relax under such circumstances. His desire to compete was still strong, but he did not want to become like the top A team, because the heavy workload would erode his passion.

He was not frustrated because he had no games to play, but instead focused on the Passion Ladder.

It was not until the third day after returning to the base that he and his Bosnian brothers had a great time winning in the ladder for an entire afternoon and finally felt a little tired.

"Okay, let's finish this game and leave." Jiang Yang said in the voice.

Copenhagen Flame's commander hooxi said happily, "Then I'll leave too. I've been satisfied this afternoon, and I've experienced the happiness of siuhy."

"Of course, Young and I really killed each other." NIKO raised his pliers excitedly and spoke boldly, "I don't know how to lose!"

Hunter said: "They all played very well, everyone is awesome!"

After winning for an entire afternoon, everyone’s quality in the voice chat has improved.

They actually wanted to play a few more games while they were still in hot form, but the departure of 'Hanging Brother' made this 'trailer' meaningless.

A few people agreed to come again next time and then started to disperse.

After leaving the voice chat, Hooxi clicked on this afternoon's results. Seeing Jiang Yang's extremely impressive results, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "He is indeed super young!"

I really had a great time with him this afternoon.

As a commander, he has two generals, Jiang Yang and NIKO, under his command. Once he gives the order, the opponent's front line is basically cleared.

Even if the command was wrong, or even if the young player named donk gave away the first kill, Jiang Yang and NIKO were able to make it back for him.

In one scene, they even ran into a five-row convoy of Bees.

The ten players on both sides were in full swing and fought until overtime, and in the end they all won.

The rest of the games were won with big scores, and two of them were 16:1, which was close to a shutout.

The atmosphere in the voice chat was very good, with a group of people playing each other, grabbing kills and TKing each other. When the situation really became difficult, a group of people pushed through it with full energy.

Is this what it feels like to have a superstar in the team...hooxi was a little confused for a moment.

The Copenhagen Flames team he is in now is not bad. There are players of the level of jabbi and nicoodoz in the team, and there is also considerable firepower. Combined with his tactics, they can produce good results.

Two of my buddies in the team have also led me to play in the ladder.

But in the same ladder game, he could already feel the huge gap.

When will I be able to command players of this level?
Oh God, if that were really possible, I would even sacrifice my proud marksmanship!
……

Both hooxi and the Bosnian brothers have quit the voice chat.

Jiang Yang was about to quit, but at this moment he heard Donk say, "I played a bit badly today. I was caught at too many timings, and my mentality exploded afterwards."

He has been duo-queuing with donk in recent days because they are very similar, both crazy Faceit players, and they are only offline for a very short time every day.

Listening to Donk's babyish voice, Jiang Yang found it hard to imagine that this guy would grow up to be a player with such amazing shooting skills in a few years.

Until now, when he plays against the peak donk in simulated games, his winning rate is still not very good.

Because the simulated donk's sudden stop and small steps were so fast, and his positioning was so accurate.

He subconsciously wanted to comfort Donk and said it was just a matter of luck.

However, at this moment, the familiar small words appeared in front of him again.

[At the age of 31, you meet your former enemy Donk in the ladder. As time goes by, he begins to doubt himself. Donk, you can't bear to see the former genius end like this, please help him find his invincible confidence...]

[Task: Help donk find confidence, reward: unknown...]

Looking at the task that suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Yang was stunned for a second.

The system failed again.

The former genius has come to an end? Donk has not yet become a true genius.

He was in a bad state today and complained a little, but was criticized by Timing Man. In your opinion, it is considered as self-doubt?

But when he thought about it carefully, he really didn't want to say it.

Now Donk is still in the state of killing monsters and leveling up, and has not really realized his talent at all.

Previously, Jiang Yang praised Donk highly in an interview, which made the entire professional circle pay attention to this underage kid.

However, under the spotlight, Donk's performance was not impressive, causing many people to question Jiang Yang's judgment.

Jiang Yang wondered, if he accidentally catalyzed the monster donk in advance, what kind of impact would it have on audiences all over the world?

For a moment he was really curious.

Jiang Yang thought about it, but ultimately did not offer any comfort. "It's not a timing issue. There's something wrong with your play in the breakthrough position. You're too focused on the props."

donk didn't expect to hear Jiang Yang's answer.

He immediately asked, "Too focused on props? What does that mean?"

Jiang Yang replied: "My strength lies in my right hand. My ability to position my opponent is unmatched in the entire professional circle. However, I have watched your video and found that your left hand is better than mine."

"You can fully play to your strengths, stimulate your aiming ability, and use your strengths to fight your opponent."

Jiang Yang thought about it and changed his words: "If your team is going to play against a Danish team in the next game, if you win in the end, which aspect will you probably gain the advantage from?"

Donk also knew that Jiang Yang was going to test him.

He is still a member of the youth training group. Even though he is extremely talented, he still admires Jiang Yang as a real professional player.

So he thought about it seriously.

When thinking of the Danish players, the A-Team stereotype is already etched.

Tactics, discipline, fancy gadgets and coordination...

The CIS can never catch up with these outstanding features. "It's the shooting skills!" Donk replied.

The team from the CIS is best at shooting.

"It's about your shooting skills." Jiang Yang continued to guide, "Since you are in a breakthrough position and your shooting skills are outstanding, you just need to make some changes to your playing style and find a way to bring out your shooting skills."

"If you play to your strengths, you will naturally be able to play better."

"Just like the map of Sand II, there is a complete mixture of good and bad players in the middle and low segments. You should know the reason." Jiang Yang asked again.

"I don't know."

As a youth training player, donk has his own understanding of various maps.

He really likes the map of Sand II because he can enjoy pure gun battles.

However, he also understood that due to the simple tactics and map structure of the Sha Er map, the effect of shooting skills was magnified, which narrowed the gap between novices and masters.

It even leads to a large part of the community only playing Sha Er.

"It's the same principle. You have excellent marksmanship, so use it first. Don't use too many props to avoid unnecessary timing." Jiang Yang added, "Of course, it doesn't mean you should not throw props at all, but don't throw unnecessary props."

Today, during the ladder process, he discovered that Donk might not have yet gotten out of the path of formulaic learning in youth training.

I like to throw some formulaic openings or count props.

Some props are not even based on the information given by the other party.

"Be more confident, brother. Your aim is good enough and your talent is clearly there." Jiang Yang said jokingly.

Donk was touched by Jiang Yang's praise.

It would not matter if Jiang Yang did not talk about these personal operational issues, but he still helped Donk to speak them out.

Is Jiang Yang qualified to help him correct his mistakes?

That's very qualified.

Now Jiang Yang is the strongest player in the professional arena, and he is at the top in terms of skills and tactics. If even he is not qualified, then no one is qualified.

Donk thought about it carefully and found that he was not simply caught off guard by the timing. There were also some rounds when he was completely caught off guard and pressed '4' to summon the enemy.

Also, sometimes he got angry and just rushed out without throwing any props, and actually made a head-on breakthrough.

He threw props obediently at the back and followed the group in, but died suddenly and inexplicably.

Right, all right.

In an instant, he understood what Jiang Yang said.

It seems like I suddenly understood that CSGO is ultimately a game of guns!
"I think I understand. I'll go ahead and try it out." After Donk gained new insights, he excitedly prepared to start a game.

But Jiang Yang didn't plan to continue.

After saying goodbye to donk, Jiang Yang’s consciousness entered the system.

But I saw that the task of [Help donk regain his confidence] was not completed.

Jiang Yang speculated that this mission would only be successful if Donk could truly shine on the field.

Then I will have to help Donk correct his behavior slowly over a period of time.

But this doesn’t matter much, because Jiang Yang just discovered it.

While he was helping Donk correct his mistakes, he was also sorting out his own understanding. He became clearer about the core points of some of his own playing ideas.

This is very peculiar.

So he would not refuse to teach others his skills.

The entire CSGO community has always been enthusiastic.

Along the way, he learned a lot of techniques from various UP hosts and professional players.

He is also generous in teaching his skills to others.

Furthermore, if a person has the talent, then even if you only watch his game videos, you can learn his technical level as long as you are willing to learn it.

If you don't have that talent, it will be useless even if he whips you from behind.

There was a moment when Jiang Yang thought, Donk might become his nemesis again, and if he accelerated his growth now, wouldn't that cause trouble in the future?

However, after winning the Major, Jiang Yang's mentality has changed quietly.

He is not worried about the peak donk appearing early, nor is he afraid of donk learning his skills.

If donk can beat him if he learns his skills, then it proves that he is just that good.

After winning for an entire afternoon and sorting out his playing philosophy at the end, Jiang Yang felt in a pretty good mood.

Just then, he noticed that there was an unsettled task in the system space.

Jiang Yang was just about to check when he heard a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Then he saw Pasha, wearing a white vest, peeking out.

"Yang, come out and talk for a while?"

He immediately stopped what he was doing. Pasha's formality made him feel a little uneasy. When he walked out of the air-conditioned room, the hot steam made him feel even more irritated.

Pasha brought Jiang Yang to the living room on the first floor.

Pasha poured Jiang Yang a glass of Coke and drank a glass of ice water himself.

After holding the trophy with Jiang Yang, Pasha said, "Yang, I really didn't expect that your unintentional invitation a few months ago would bring me back to the world of CSGO. If it weren't for you, I might still be preparing for MMA now."

Pasha's words came from the bottom of his heart. He really likes the game CSGO, but his previous decline in form and the things he encountered made him disappointed, so he left the stage in a hurry.

But even if he failed to become a player, he was still organizing CS summer camps and doing CS live broadcasts.

He couldn't let go of the game he fought so hard for.

And this time, after being invited back by Jiang Yang.

He became the team's coach, returned to the stage again with a special identity, and finally accompanied Jiang Yang to lift a Major trophy, which made up for the regret of 17 Atlanta.

The Golden VP fell when Team A rose.

His return also brought about the rise of GL.

It's like a cycle.

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to stick with the training before the Major, and you had to help supervise, Pasha." Jiang Yang still likes Pasha, who is like an elder and a brother.

Pasha is very self-aware in the team.

As a coach, if his level is not good enough, he will share more other work instead of forcing himself to say that he can do it.

Although he is not a good tactical coach, he is an excellent part-time fitness coach.

He takes GL and his group of internet-addicted teenagers to exercise every day and maintain a good schedule so that they have enough energy to face the competition every day. He also works hard on various pre-match preparations.

Pasha is at least quite responsible in his position.

Hearing Jiang Yang's praise, Pasha also laughed, then he raised the ice water and clinked it with Jiang Yang's Coke.

Jiang Yang thought it was just a casual chat and gradually relaxed. But after Pasha finished drinking the ice water, he heard him say:
"I'm really going to retire this time..."
