CS: What does it mean to become Jiahao and then kill indiscriminately?

2024 9 Month 1 Day.

The LVG team's base.

Gum took a deep breath.

With Jee and Starry's brother CS leaving for Tyloo, LVG lost their most important firepower point - Starry.

After the 16-year-old prodigy who achieved a 1v5 pentakill in the pistol round against G2 at Blast left the team.

LVG is now mired in a quagmire of struggle.

However, they are still in a phase of roster changes and adjustments regarding the ESL league spot they previously secured.

First, they brought in Flying from the IG team, and then selected a new player from the second team to join, forming a temporary lineup.

Z4kr, the team's secondary sniper, was promoted to a full-fledged sniper.

It can be said that the entire lineup's positional adjustments represent a complete and radical change.

With this lineup, Gum didn't have high hopes for the competition in Malta, but they couldn't just give up the ESL spot they had worked so hard to earn.

He tried to comfort himself, thinking of it as practice for the upcoming tactical changes.

Inside the training room.

Wan Kaizhao is practicing shooting.

He was perfectly lucid at that moment.

He crossed.

Moreover, he traveled to a parallel world, but this world was completely different from the world he had traveled to before.

The CNCS here seems rather weak, so weak that it's almost hopeless.

Before Wan Kaizhao traveled through time, in the world he lived in, CS:GO was operated by Perfect World in 2015. However, in 2018, Tencent and Perfect World competed for the operating rights of CS:GO. Perfect World lost the bid and Tencent won the bid, launching a massive promotional campaign and introducing the game.

Soon after, well-known clubs such as FPX, IG, VG, RNG, and EDG announced the establishment of CSGO divisions and quickly formed a league.

For a time, the CS:GO atmosphere in China reached its peak. Even after encountering the formidable Valorant, which caused many CS:GO players to switch sides, many famous players still emerged.

Wan Kaizhao is a legend of the EDG team.

He led his team to three sticker wins and made it into the Legends group twice, and is known for his absolute muscle-bound style.

It's worth mentioning that the sniper on the team who was his teammate at the time seems to have already made a name for himself in Valorant and is the league's top star player.

It seems that in this world...

The career prospects for Valorant are far greater than those for Computer Science.

But it's all messed up.

My buddy has been playing CS 1.6 since he was a kid. He can play some texture games occasionally to enjoy himself, but if you want me to play Valorant professionally, sorry, Wan Kaizhao can't feel the real passion for gunfights.

Only CS could make Wan Kaizhao feel the reckless energy of just doing it and charging ahead.

"How are you? Nervous?" Gum leaned closer and asked.

I'm taking a flight to Malta tonight.

Their first match was against a well-known powerhouse team, the top Ukrainian team NAVI, known as the Born Winners.

For a newcomer, playing against one of the world's top three teams right from the start is really asking too much.

NAVI?

In his world, there was also NAVI, and Wan Kaizhao had fought against them a few times, but he didn't take them seriously at all.

For LVG, beating NAVI is awesome, and losing to NAVI is normal.

What psychological pressure could there be?

It would be embarrassing if a small team lost to a powerhouse team.

Wan Kaizhao's main task now is to adapt to this 'body,' a self without the hand injury, something he hasn't experienced in a long time.

The constant nerve pain was enough to ruin any feel for the game, but now, no matter how he throws, positions himself, or plays at high intensity, he doesn't feel any nerve pain. For Wan Kaizhao, this is a huge improvement.

"I'm not nervous, I'm thinking about how to beat them," Wan Kaizhao said. "Don't we often beat these foreign teams in training matches?"

The team's commander, Xigua, sitting next to Wan Kaizhao, gave an awkward smile.

Training matches are training matches, and official matches are official matches. The Chinese team often dominates in training matches, easily sweeping opponents with their strength. However, in official matches, they are completely overwhelmed and helpless. They either cannot perform to their individual abilities or are constantly countered and caught off guard during the match, making it impossible for them to engage in gunfights.

Wan Kaizhao specifically checked the data of several of his teammates.

Westmelon, also known as their team commander Xigua, is hailed as a "steel gun commander" in China for his excellent marksmanship, but his actual rating is only around 0.97.

The other three are Z4kr, flying, and EmiliaQAQ.

Z4kr is the team's sniper, also known as Miyamizu Mitsuha, because that's the ID he used before.

He also has the best stats on the team, with a rating of 1.18, but his reputation among outsiders is extremely poor.

There have been rumors that Z4kr used cheats and joined a cheat group, but he has never been proven guilty. Secondly, his private life is said to be very "chaotic", which has led to many bad jokes.

If you play well, it's a "big, big, big" win; if you play poorly, it's a "small" win.

There was no way to deal with it. This guy had an ex who was a jerk. He once commented on the size of two professional players' penises. To spite the other player, he said that Mitsuha's was bigger.

The other two were both riflemen in the team.

Wan Kaizhao didn't know much about it, only that Flying had played for IG and was a former star player for IG. His aim was decent, but he's getting older and his current playstyle is a bit risky.

EmiliaQAQ is a pure gun-playing, reckless player on the ranked ladder. To understand his teammates, Wan Kaizhao even watched their PoV (Pollution by Fire) perspectives.

This anime-style player's PoV is a predictable, reckless style with no fixed strategies; he'll engage in gunfights whenever possible, making him a frontal turret.

When they're in good form, they can be very effective; when they're out of form, they're useless.

Recently, coach Gum has been working to develop EmiliaQAQ into a free agent.

Wan Kaizhao is not optimistic. A player who is used to gunfights is unlikely to get used to the connection effect of the central axis after being interrupted by information.

The libero position is the most reliant on scheduling and information; it requires someone who can handle the endgame and has excellent aim.

But putting everything else aside, because the Chinese players in this world don't play CS much and only care about how cool their cosmetics are, the training quality of the servers is very poor. The high-ranking players on the ladder are either cheaters or rough guys.

Even these players, unless they break the lockout, would still lose to LVG's professional players, which shows just how terrible the CS environment here really is.

"Brother Gua? Team Leader Gua?" Wan Kaizhao called out from in front of the computer.

"What's wrong?" Watermelon asked, taking off her headphones.

"How do we play against NAVI?" Wan Kaizhao asked. "If we really can't beat a strong team like this, we might as well go all out. If we can't win with strategy, we can just go for gunfights. I think our shooting skills are no worse than theirs."

Watermelon paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "What do you mean by 'going all the way in'? You're right, but you can't win the game just by relying on your shooting skills. You still need to play strategically and follow the coach's instructions. Just listen to my commands."

He didn't think they could beat NAVI either, but he couldn't very well say from the base that they were outmatched in terms of strategy, and that they should just stop giving orders and let everyone fire freely.

Doesn't this make GUM, the coach, seem like he's just a figurehead?

We still need to say the polite words, but the game content of this competition will probably be just as Wan Kaizhao said.

With such a new lineup, if they don't resort to this kind of haphazard, unorthodox approach to defeat the veterans, they really have no chance.

"If I kill two enemies every round, can I win?" Wan Kaizhao asked in the most serious tone.

"You can kill two every game, and we're always playing five against three. If I can't lead the team to victory in a game like this and we still lose, I might as well retire. Even if we only kill one every game, or it's five against four, I still feel like we can win." Xigua was confident in this. Even with a new lineup, it's the same in any game: having more people against fewer people is always an advantage.

The words had barely left his lips.

A reward notification appeared on the panel in Wan Kaizhao's mind.

True heroism lies in being able to speak the most frank and arrogant words even when facing an opponent far superior to oneself. (Completed)

[Please achieve a double kill at the start of each of the five consecutive rounds in the match against NAVI (on Hard difficulty).]

[Please achieve the first kill at the start of five consecutive rounds in your match against NAVI (Medium difficulty).]

[In the match against NAVI, achieve the first kill within five rounds of the total rounds (low difficulty).]

Complete any task to receive the corresponding reward based on its difficulty.

[This time, you gained 1 point of improved marksmanship. Such a reward is not difficult for you.]
