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

Chapter 340 The Strongest in Ancient Times, the Strongest in Modern Times, and the Strongest in the Future

The Falcon's match today only lasted less than two hours, leaving fans who were hoping for a more exciting and intense extended session feeling unsatisfied. However, Jiang Yang and Niko were genuinely starving.

Although the match was short, it was physically demanding. Playing in the stadium while enduring boos from the audience was exhausting.

When they drove back to the hotel, they put down their peripherals and then met at the buffet restaurant downstairs.

After the match, many professional players sat here to eat.

As Jiang Yang carried his tray past the little bees, he greeted them with his eyes.

apEX noticed the look in Zaiwu's eyes, turned to look at Jiang Yang, and said, "Bro, is this how a team works? Sharing props with teammates while eating?"

Mr. Bean thought Jiang Yang was carrying it for his Falcon teammates, and kindly reminded him, "Your teammates have already taken their food to eat, so you can just take your own."

Jiang Yang replied lazily, "I didn't take anyone else's."

After exchanging a few casual words, Jiang Yang headed towards NIKO.

apEX turned around, intending to continue the previous topic, but suddenly realized something.

"So he ate all of that by himself?"

Potato responded, "If I understand correctly, that should be it."

"His plate has a fried chicken, two hamburgers, four chicken legs, and two Cokes! Can one person finish all that??" ApEX was genuinely shocked. "Really?"

"What kind of enormous stomach is this?"

The demon man looked at the creature beside him and laughed, "This guy seems to be able to eat even more than you."

“That’s how youth is,” Zaiwu smiled. “He’s only 17 after all, still growing up.”

Adu complained from the side, "Let's not do it. It's already this scary. If we let it grow any bigger, how will we play?"

Clearly, they had also been watching the Falcons' two games today, and the Bees all burst into laughter.

……

Why are you eating junk food again?

NIKO was used to Jiang Yang's extravagant appetite; the idea that a young boy could eat his father out of house and home was the same everywhere in the world.

But he ultimately felt that young people shouldn't indulge too much in food; eating hamburgers and fried chicken every day would only make them gain weight and provide no nutrition at all.

"Learn my recipes and eat healthier."

Jiang Yang glanced at Lao Ni's plate: two pieces of cantaloupe, three florets of broccoli, a large piece of boiled chicken breast, three boiled shrimp, and a little bit of sauce.

“How is this healthy?” Jiang Yang retorted.

NIKO pointed to her plate and explained, "Protein, vitamins. I'll add some carbs later and it'll be perfect."

"It makes me want to die just looking at it, and she calls herself healthy?" Jiang Yang thought NIKO's diet was nothing short of life-sustaining food, and he had absolutely no appetite for it.

He felt that eating was a pleasure; after a hard day's work, he needed to eat something to feel redeemed.

However, looking at the broccoli on NIKO's plate, Jiang Yang forked up a piece of fried chicken. When the juices burst in his mouth, he immediately felt that the chicken in his mouth was even more tender.

Jiang Yang suddenly felt that their match was like something out of an fantasy novel, where the protagonist had just finished a difficult battle and was now sitting around a campfire enjoying a meal.

Just then, a man with a middle parting and a backpack sat down next to him with a tray in his hand.

"Hello, young."

"There shouldn't be anyone sitting here."

Jiang Yang turned his head and was surprised to find that S1mple and Pfert0 were walking over with trays of food.

"Nobody's here, please make yourselves at home."

S1mple and Pfert0 put down their plates and sat down.

Jiang Yang noticed that S1mple's gaze was fixed on his plate. He thought for a moment, tore off a chicken leg, and handed it to S1mple: "Brother, want to try some?"

S1mple's plate was now full of vegetable salad.

"I think it's better not to." S1mple said that, but his hand honestly took it.

He took one bite and immediately felt like crying: "This kind of unhealthy food tastes so good!"

Their match was relatively close, and all the similar fried food was taken away, leaving only some vegetable salad for him.

Even the old pig wants to order takeout after seeing this.

But exhaustion forced him to compromise, and now he saw a pile of fried food on Jiang Yang's plate.

I'm so hungry!
Jiang Yang watched S1mple showing off his chicken leg with him, and he ate with even more relish.

When NIKO looked at the healthy food on her plate, it suddenly tasted bland and tasteless.

“You guys are in great form today.” S1mple turned to look at Jiang Yang. “The two matches ended in the blink of an eye. I didn’t even have time to react before you were 2-0 up.”

His relationship with Jiang Yang has always been quite good.

Both being hardcore players on the ranked ladder, the two frequently encountered each other on the ladder.

Right now, S1mple really wants to get revenge on Jiang Yang. As the former best professional player, he can only watch helplessly as Jiang Yang defeats him time and time again in their matchups.

He was naturally unconvinced.

Even though he was slowly declining from his peak, he could always see his shadow in Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang's overwhelming confidence, his arrogant playing style, and even his highly agile playing style all allowed S1mple to see his past self.

"How did your battle go today?" NIKO asked Old Pig.

"One win and one loss." S1mple looked at the Little Bee team not far away, "I burned out in the Carrier game, and I lost a little bit in the second game, losing a small game to siuhy."

NAVI also had a tough time in the first two rounds of the Legends Group.

In the first round, they faced off against the Little Bees, a classic TOP clash in the past.

Both he and Zaiwu were at their peak in this match, carrying each other on the map Mirage. In the end, he won the game, and NAVI successfully secured the victory in the third overtime, with the final score settling at 21:25.

Although S1mple played his best in this match, he was exhausted in the battle against the enemy carriers. In the second match against Mouz, he lost badly, which led to NAVI losing to Mouz with a score of 14:16.

"You guys are really on edge today." Jiang Yang hadn't expected Lao Zhu to play two quality-related games today.

Perfert0 said, "You guys are really something else. You crushed the opponent by a large margin on both maps, especially in the second round, where you didn't even let Black Panther fight back."

He briefly recalled, "I watched the first few rounds of your fight against Black Panther, your 1v3 in Area B was amazing."

As one of the most famous clutch masters in the current arena, Perfert0 thought that Jiang Yang was going to save his weapon when he watched that round, and even if he made a conscious move, it would be impossible.

He even tried to put himself in that situation and think about it, but he couldn't come up with any answers.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang, wielding a sniper rifle, managed to destroy Black Panther's structure, successfully pulling off a 1v3 maneuver and dismantling the bomb at the last second.

"Thank you," Jiang Yang explained. "I was just trying it out at the time. That guy at Black Panther's bomb site gave me a chance. If he hadn't come out, I really would have had to save my gun."

“You were already very impressive to dare to try back then.” Perfert0 understood that Jiang Yang must have a plan.

He is not a reckless player in the endgame; this kind of strategic player has already considered the possibility of failure, but still embarks on the path of trying.

This courage is one of the greatest charms of endgame players.

"But your current fighting style is a bit too unreasonable, isn't it?" S1mple teased with a smile. "With NIKO here, you have no worries at all, right?"

Device replied expressionlessly, "There are still some, for example, when it comes to hitting you, I don't dare let NIKO play with the Desert Eagle."

S1mple instinctively asked, "Why don't you dare let him play..."

Halfway through the conversation, NIKO glared at the device, and the Falcon group all burst into laughter.

He suddenly came to his senses.

One of NIKO's most memorable moments was when he was shot three times in the back with a Desert Eagle.

He couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect you to be a freak too."

He and device have a relationship that is both rival and friend. They were competitors for a long time, but now he has come to know that device has this side to it.

He pointed at Jiang Yang and said, "These are all soldiers trained by this guy."

Jiang Yang, being a bit of a rascal, often cracks jokes in the team, and now the whole team is filled with that kind of atmosphere.

However, I think breathing is a good thing, because the team's ability to withstand pressure has improved a lot.

He even overheard NIKO himself joking about how he couldn't hit shots from behind.

He felt that with this kind of mental state, no offline pressure could defeat them.

So, when facing the live audience today, they were only a little angry. After truly defeating Black Panther and silencing the audience, they no longer cared about the noise from below the stage.

"Your atmosphere here is quite nice," S1mple said with a hint of envy.

There is a significant difference in team atmosphere between European teams and those from the CIS.

There's a lot of laughter and joking around in Europe, but sometimes people are careful with their words and keep many things to themselves.

Communication within CIS teams tends to be more direct; people say what they mean, and it's normal for arguments to be exchanged. However, backstabbing and infighting are relatively rare.

However, if he were to actually join a European team, he feels he might not be able to adapt at this stage.

As a top-tier sniper, S1mple could clearly sense Jiang Yang's adjustments to his tactics.

Back in GL, Jiang Yang was aggressive, but he was passive, only trying to step up and perform when things were going badly. Now, after joining Falcon, Jiang Yang has become more proactive in seeking opportunities to break the deadlock.

He started actively seeking out people to kill.

S1mple looked at the handsome guy next to him, and his wariness of Falcon grew stronger.

Because he understood that Jiang Yang's personal abilities had not undergone a terrifying change in such a short period of time.

Because at this stage, there is no one on the field who can bring about a qualitative change in the guy next to him.

The change in his playing style is purely because he now has more teammates who can cover for him.

In the current Falcon team, NIKO, device, and JKS are all capable of handling endgame situations.

Even if Jiang Yang goes out to find a kill and gets taken down, the others have a good chance of helping him turn the tide.

In a daze, he saw in Falcon the strongest NAVI team of the past, the NAVI team that lifted the Major trophy in 2021.

At that time, every player on NAVI had ample firepower and the ability to dominate the endgame.

This allowed S1mple to play quite aggressively, actively seeking opportunities and trying to get the first kill.

Now, this Falcon team has given Jiang Yang the same feeling, and he has also adopted a similar strategy. Even though it is only in its early stages, it still puts S1mple under tremendous pressure.

Because in S1mple's mind, this is a state that only two types of teams can have.

One type is a star player carrying four other players. This type of team needs the star player to constantly perform, strive for every kill, and try to relieve the pressure on the whole team.

The second type is the dynasty team, where star players can fully utilize their individual abilities, enjoy the game to their heart's content, and showcase their talents without any reservations.

The Falcon's recent record can be described as quite impressive.

Starting from the RMR stage, they won 4 BO1 and 1 BO3 matches. In fact, except for one slightly close match against FaZe, they won all the other matches with overwhelming dominance.

With Falcon in such good form, it's clear that the others weren't holding Jiang Yang back.

S1mple had already seen the beginnings of a dynasty in them.

If he were a retired player or an ordinary player, he would enjoy this situation.

But for a player who aspires to lift the Major trophy again, the appearance of a team of this caliber on the field is definitely not good news for S1mple.

The pigs that had already come down the mountain felt immense pressure from the sheep that were coming up.

Even so, he will try to get into the best shape and try to climb back to the top.

Ultimately, CSGO matches depend on performance.

A best-of-three series lasts a mere three hours, deciding the outcome of the match. If the final is NAVI versus Falcon, perhaps he'll briefly recapture his peak form.

Fortunately, the Falcons are currently tied 1-1 in the 2-0 group.

Looking at it this way, losing the second game today might actually be a good thing, since he hasn't reached his peak form yet.

After finishing their dinner on the plate, the pigs that came down the mountain started dreaming about climbing the mountain again.

The group quickly finished their meal and even sat down to chat for a while.

Just then, Jiang Yang saw Zaiwu, who had finished dinner, walking past them, and a sudden idea struck him.

"Zaiwu, I'm your fan!" Jiang Yang greeted Zaiwu.

"I don't know!" Zaiwu responded with magic, completely ignoring the question.

"How about we take a group photo?" Jiang Yang invited Zaiwu. "It's not easy for this group of people to get together like this."

Zaiwu glanced back at apEX, looking just like a child who had been invited by a friend and asked their parents for permission. After getting DouDou's consent, Shushu showed off her strength as the world's number one upper gum user.

"What do I need to do?" Zaiwu asked.

Jiang Yang handed his phone to JKS: "Take a picture of the three of us. Wait a minute, device and NIKO, come on over too."

Holding his phone, JKS watched as the group of superstars from his memories gradually stood together, and couldn't help but gasp, "So, are you five planning to form a dream team?"

NIKO's eyes lit up: "You know what, it actually works. I'll take charge."

S1mple glanced at Jiang Yang and continued, following NIKO's lead, "If I really have that chance, I'll shoot a rifle."

Zaiwu shrugged: "As you all know, I've always liked shooting rifles."

Device chimed in, "Do you think there's any chance I'll be able to snipe in this lineup? I might as well try shooting some rifles too."

Jiang Yang couldn't help but hum in agreement upon hearing this. Although it was just a hypothetical scenario, the fact that S1mple and Zaiwu, both snipers, were willing to give up their sniper rifles to Jiang Yang was an absolute recognition of his abilities.

"In my opinion, this lineup can be taken down without even needing a sniper rifle." Jiang Yang stood in the middle, with his hands on Sen Zai's shoulders.

NIKO and device were standing on the outermost side of the crowd.

As the group of monsters all smiled, the intense sense of oppression made JKS's heart tighten, and he pressed the shutter.

Jiang Yang leaned closer to take a look and saw that everyone in the group photo was smiling faintly, looking relaxed yet handsome.

"Get it yourself when you get back to Instagram!"

As Jiang Yang spoke, he began editing in the background. He quickly confirmed that the text was correct and sent it out directly.

……

Jiang Yang's current number of fans is quite astonishing.

His update was posted almost immediately, and many fans had already received the notification.

During this Major tournament, CS fans were really looking forward to interactions between the players.

Magixx, the chubby little guy from the Spirit, also started surfing leisurely after going 2-0.

Upon discovering that Jiang Yang had posted a new update, he subconsciously clicked on it to see what kind of trouble Yang Shen was planning this time.

CSGO-young: Someone said that the five of us have some talent and wanted us to join his team.

Below is a group photo of the five people together.

"You call that a little talent?" Magixx started swearing the moment he saw it.

The other members of Spirit were a little confused, but they all came over.

Let me see what happens.

Then they were horrified to see the terrifying photo on the Magixx phone.

Tang, Zai, Yang, Sen, Ni
In the group photo of the five people, they all looked incredibly relaxed, yet the sense of oppression was palpable.

(A group photo in a similar state)

Chopper, the Spirit's commander, said, "Just looking at this makes my heart race; the scene is a bit scary."

Although Jiang Yang's post was only recently published, it has already been seen by many fans who have left comments below.

[What Dream Team footage?]

From left to right: CSGO Ancient Honor is the strongest, CSGO Modern is the strongest, CSGO Future is the strongest, CSGO Past is the strongest, CSGO Rifle is the strongest.

What is the ending scene of CS:GO?

What parameters did this group study?

Alright, WASD are for direction, left mouse button is for firing, you can challenge them now.

When you've played for a long time and are finally one win away from advancing to S rank, your opponent will be like...

Only by surpassing the limits of those two humans on the sides can you challenge the two non-humans near the edge, and finally, you can challenge the big boss in the middle.

If these five people actually teamed up, then CS:GO would be over.

Magixx looked at the comments section and shook his head incessantly in front of his phone.

As ordinary gamers, netizens might find the five people in the picture terrifying.

As a professional player, he wouldn't think that way.

He almost threw his phone the moment he saw all five of them in the same frame.

It’s so annoying!

“These five are all too difficult to beat, no matter which one of them you face,” Magixx said.

“NIKO and device on the far side can handle it a bit better, but their condition isn’t that stable,” w0nderful said.

Magixx shook his head: "Do you know what the scariest thing is? It's that there are three guys in this photo together now in the same team. How the hell are we supposed to play like this?!"

The chopper, who was standing to the side, fell silent for a moment, which was unusual for him.

He asked, "Do you know what's even more terrifying?"

"?"

"We'll hunt falcons tomorrow."

"!!!!!!"
