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

Chapter 341 Falcon Becomes the Villain

A year ago, if someone had told Ma Xixi, "Xixi, your cousin has the potential to dominate CS:GO."

If Ma Xixi heard this, he would definitely think the other person was talking nonsense, and might ask him to click on the link in the next second, and then the coach would tell him everything.

But six months later, this actually happened.

Looking at the incredibly rare group photo posted by Jiang Yang on his social media, Ma Xixi felt like it was all too dreamlike.

If he had seen this photo a year ago, he would have thought that Jiang Yang in the middle was photoshopped in.

In just over half a year, his cousin emerged out of nowhere, transforming from a C+ contestant to the future TOP1 recognized by everyone in the industry.

That was absolutely terrifying.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Yang on WeChat.

Ma Xixi: "How can you sleep at your age?"

Jiang Yang: "???"

Jiang Yang: [Ma Xixi's Red and Warm Emoji Pack]

Jiang Yang: Oh, we have a time difference!

Ma Xixi typed with a smile: "Today is the third round of the Legends Group. Don't feel pressured when playing against the Green Dragon. Just play normally."

Jiang Yang: "...What exactly made you feel that we would be under pressure fighting the Green Dragon?"

Ma Xixi: "After all, it's a best-of-three series, and the audience at the venue definitely won't be polite, so be prepared."

The atmosphere at this year's Rio Major far exceeded the expectations of netizens around the world.

Brazilian CS has always been an important part of CSGO, thanks to the presence of a godfather and their inherent historical heritage.

In addition, Brazil has a strong football culture, and the atmosphere of watching CS:GO matches is the closest to that of traditional sports, which made the Rio Major a highly anticipated event for many CS:GO fans around the world.

However, with the Rio Major already halfway through, much of the positive image of the Rio Major's offline atmosphere has been shattered.

The Brazilian fans at the stadium were overly enthusiastic about supporting the home team, hurling insults, giving the middle finger, and spitting at anyone who had defeated the home team.

As soon as the second round of matches ended yesterday, the behavior of the Brazilian live audience became a topic of discussion around the world.

Brazil's offline competition has become a joke, and the players are being ridiculed by the audience during the competition. Many players don't dare to say anything, after all, the Brazilian people are known for their toughness and they are afraid of the sound of AKs coming from outside the arena.

Yesterday, Jiang Yang delivered a phenomenal performance for the Falcon team, and NIKO led the charge by shouting to the audience in the arena, which was a relief for netizens around the world.

Yesterday, the Falcons' Instagram followers surged, with many people coming to like the team because of the Falcons' personality.

However, for the Brazilian audience watching live, they are very likely to continue to be mocked, and may even face these taunts all the way to the final.

Thinking of this, Masisi instructed, "Then stay with the team during your time in Brazil and don't wander off."

As the older brother, he was ultimately worried that his younger cousin might encounter danger in a chaotic place like abroad.

"Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think," Jiang Yang typed to reassure his cousin.

Although the Brazilian live audience wasn't a good match, this group still focused on the game itself.

"Alright, I'm going back to sleep. You guys get ready for the competition." Ma Xixi chatted for a few more minutes before turning off her phone.

"You're awake? I got you a sandwich from downstairs, have it later." NIKO, covered in sweat, opened the door and walked in. He always had a habit of doing some cardio before and after bed.

"Thank you so much!" Jiang Yang praised, "Old Ni, you are truly self-disciplined."

He was doing well during his time at GL, with Pasha supervising him so he could do his daily workouts almost every day.

But after leaving Pasha, he reduced his training frequency somewhat, slacking off a little.

NIKO looked at Jiang Yang with envy: "I have no choice. My condition has declined significantly at my age, so I have to rely on some external means to keep it more stable."

Scientific and regular fitness training can make the body's muscles more active, reduce the occurrence of injuries, and slow down the decline in the performance of professional athletes.

If Niko had outstanding results and countless Major titles, then a decline in form would be understandable.

Despite playing for so many years and being hailed as a prodigy, he still hasn't won a Major title. People are often bound by what they can't have. For Niko, his physical peak is gradually passing, something he can't control. He can only try to slow it down as much as possible through fitness training.

That way, when the opportunity presents itself again, he won't have to watch it slip through his fingers once more.

"Get up, we'll practice for a little while soon and then head to the venue. Today's a best-of-three series, so time is tight," NIKO reminded them.

Jiang Yang nodded: "Give me five minutes."

Even though he was fully awake, Jiang Yang still had the habit of lying in bed for a while before getting up.

He thought people who could immediately get out of bed after waking up were monsters.

NIKO was already washing up in the bathroom, while Jiang Yang went online to surf the forum.

The first day of competition has officially ended, and quite a few teams were upset.

For example, FaZe, one of the favorites to win the championship, was upset in the first round against BNE, and then was crushed by the frustrated Potato in the second round against Little Bee.

After the first day of the group stage, FaZe has truly entered hell. Leonkai, FaZe's biggest fan in the CN region, commented, "Looking forward to FaZe's comeback from hell!"

But many people think Faze is in a tough spot.

While the Falcons battled their home fans and Senzai engaged in a passionate duel, NIP quietly collapsed in the first two rounds.

As a traditional Swedish powerhouse, NIP, despite losing device this time, still boasts a formidable overall fighting force with the addition of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Nowadays, the entire professional gaming community generally considers Leonardo DiCaprio to be a player who is neither the best nor the worst.

It would be very difficult for Leonardo DiCaprio to win the championship.

But if you let Leonardo DiCaprio lead the team to achieve some results and build a basic system, he can definitely bring you considerable benefits.

But they still didn't expect that NIP, despite having a good draw in the first two rounds, would be completely dominated and is now down 0-2. If they lose another BO3, their next match will be at the airport.

The other teams played back and forth, and the outcome depended more on their form and pre-match preparations; there were no particularly dramatic results.

However, there was a lot of heated discussion on the forum about Falcon's two maps yesterday, especially the match against Black Panther. Everyone was very unhappy with the behavior of the home fans, and there was a lot of criticism online.

The photo taken by the official Major photographer after yesterday's match has received nearly 10,000 likes on Instagram, and the comments from countless Brazilian players have sparked a war of words in the community.

However, the most popular content on the forum now is the discussion about hooxi.

Hooxi's highly contrasting performance has led to extremely polarized opinions about him on forums.

In addition, Jiang Yang and NIKO played with the meme on Twitter yesterday, which made the hooxi meme spread even more.

Now, in the entire forum, fans of Breathing are calling themselves ihoo, saying things like "Breathing Gate" and other incomprehensible terms.

After seeing it, Jiang Yang couldn't wait to get up and show it to Hooxi himself.

[Some facts about Hooxi, Hoogate]

1. When he was 10 years old, Hooxi decided to live on his own, so his parents had to move to another house.

2. Hooxi looked in the mirror, but he saw nothing, because there was only one Hooxi.
3. Hooxi...

……

15. Hooxi isn't actually writing tweets; the letters formed themselves out of fear.

16. Hooxi once arm wrestled with Superman, the bet being that the loser would have to wear his underwear on the outside.

One day, Hooxi summoned Aladdin's genie.
Genie: 3 Wishes

hooxi: Go ahead and say it.

I wonder if Breath still remembers me. When we were little, we went to the temple to steal offerings, but the police caught us. We pretended to be gods, but only I got arrested because Breath really is a god!

[Call the door open!]

Memes about hooxi started flooding Chinese online communities, and the same was true on foreign forums.

This was especially exacerbated after S1mple and kennyS were eliminated. S1mple: My sniper rifle is meaningless against Hooxi.
kennyS: You all say my sniping is lightning fast, but you've never seen hooxi's sniping. I could never fire a shot in front of him.

In no time, discussions about hooxi and the meme became a global phenomenon in the CS:GO community.

As hooxi listened to Jiang Yang translate the meanings of the Chinese internet memes into his own words, his eyes widened to the point of envy that Li Ronghao could only look on.

"This is way too much! Is this for real?" Breathing exclaimed incredulously in the training room.

Jiang Yang patted Breathing on the shoulder: "Just admit it now, you've become a true top player in the GO scene, you're the real star player for Falcons."

Breathing still feels like a dream.

He was originally a nobody in the professional circle, and just a few days ago he was being criticized for his poor personal skills. But after Jiang Yang and NIKO did this, he suddenly became a top influencer in the GO community.

This almost completely stunned Hooxi; he felt like he was floating on air.

What does it feel like when happiness comes too suddenly?
Hooxi is experiencing it now.

However, he quickly calmed down: "These discussions in the community are minor matters. Let's see how we plan to play today's BO3."

Device gave Hooxi a thumbs up, "As expected of Godxi."

hooxi: "How could you say such a ridiculous thing with such a blank expression?"

JKS chimed in, "All we need to do is listen to God's teachings."

Just as NIKO was about to join in the fun, God's Observation Haki awakened. He turned to NIKO and said, "Shut up, NIKO!"

Jiang Yang shrugged: "Look, NIKO, who committed the sin of wrath, is going to be punished by God."

Hooxi was helpless against being teased by his teammates.

"Alright, everyone, let's get serious," Father NEO stepped in to stop them. "There's another best-of-three series this afternoon. If the home crowd behaves like they did yesterday, they might get booed today too."

"This afternoon might be another tough battle!"

……

"Whoa!!!"

"Fuxx, you're so young!!!"

……

Inside the Rio market, the dome lights shone on the stage, illuminating the shocked faces of the Green Dragons' athletes.

w0nderful stared in shock at the falcon's entrance ceremony. "Is it going to be this exciting right from the start?"

The contrast is just too damn strong.

When they entered, the fans at the scene weren't too excited. w0nderful was initially a little disappointed, thinking that he and Green Dragon weren't famous enough to excite the audience.

He could already imagine that when Falcon entered the arena, the cheers and shouts would far surpass those of them.

The scene w0nderful had envisioned appeared in his mind, but only half of it did.

When the Falcon entered, the noise level was indeed much higher than theirs.

But why is it all booing?

How much do these audience members hate Falcon and Young!
Their gazes involuntarily turned to the end of the players' passage, where the Falcon members walked onto the red carpet with smiles on their faces. Jiang Yang, who was walking at the very front, even put his right hand next to his ear.

Young is still pushing the limits!

The audience was also very excited, and from this moment on, Fak's voice became even louder.

Holy crap.

What kind of big boss art style is this?

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Jiang Yang, walking on the red carpet, glanced in his direction and then waved to him with a smile.

But amidst the suppressed cheers around him, w0nderful felt a jolt of electricity run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He felt his heart racing for no reason.

He already felt immense pressure when facing Falcon.

Seeing Falcon's invincible villainous aura approaching, he felt even more nervous.

It wasn't until the Falcon crew came up that w0nderful took the initiative to greet them: "Young, hello!"

"Hello, hello, I'm your fan!" w0nderful said excitedly, suppressing his nervousness.

As a genius sniper from the CIS, his idol used to be S1mple, but this year his idol has become Jiang Yang.

Or it wasn't just him; Jiang Yang's outstanding performance this year represents the ideal of every talented young man who aspires to make a name for himself.

They would more or less immerse themselves in Jiang Yang's experience, which truly gave them a great time.

A prodigy single-handedly carried four players to win the Major championship, emerging out of nowhere and defeating former star players.

My God, that's me!
So he truly meant what he said; he was just momentarily suppressed by the terrifying aura of Jiang Yang and Falcon when they entered.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang immediately replied, "No, no, no..."

He found the guy opposite him to be unpleasant; who would use mystical techniques right from the start?

If you keep doing this, I'll call my cousin to nurse you!
After exchanging brief greetings, the two parted ways, and w0nderful, filled with tension and anticipation, returned to the players' bench to warm up.

He opened the most classic aimbotz practice map and started using the sniper rifle to flick-snipe kills. But after sniping for a while today, he didn't know why, but he always felt that the flick-sniping wasn't quite smooth.

He felt there was something slightly wrong with his settings.

After thinking it over, he glanced at Jiang Yang across from him and then made some minor adjustments to the system settings.

What he just said to Jiang Yang was true; he had even used Jiang Yang's game settings for a long time, but recently switched back to S1mple's game settings.

When equipped with these powerful professional player settings, w0nderful feels that he too can be just as good.

So when S1mple's settings didn't feel right, w0nderful switched to changing the mouse sensitivity in the control panel.

In the game, he replaced S1mple's 3.09 with Jiangyang's 6.66, but he adjusted the mouse's DPI to 200. The overall DPI conversion is not much different.

After changing the settings, he immediately felt that the flick shot felt incredibly smooth.

Sure enough, young's personal settings are still the best... w0nderful thought to himself with satisfaction.

Yesterday, watching Jiang Yang bombard two different teams, he had been wanting to go back to Jiang Yang's personal settings. Today, he finally made up his mind to try it out, and sure enough, the feel of quick-scoping was different.

He still felt something was off, so he copied Jiang Yang's crosshair again before nodding in satisfaction.

He didn't notice that his teammate Patsi had seen the whole thing from behind him.

The sensitivity values ​​of 3.09 and 6.66 are so unique that you can tell whose sensitivity they are just by looking at them.

Everyone in the Green Dragonflight knew that w0nderful was using S1mple's setup and that he was doing well, so no one else said anything.

But just before the competition, he suddenly switched to the sensitivity of "young".

Patsi stood behind, watching w0nderful's flick shot, hesitant to speak.

He ultimately chose to focus on the warm-up in front of him and try his best to get himself into a good state.

He only cares about himself and doesn't care about the w0nderful operation.

Hopefully, w0nderful will be able to achieve good results with this sensitivity.

……

(This player did not perform the pre-match sensitivity adjustment operation w0nderful did, but other players have done similar operations.)
