CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 128: FaZe Gets Serious
The report of the severe injury did not provide any assistance.

The ingredients are self-explanatory.

But eggplant is also a fascinating creature.

Hearing this, he opened the data panel, looked at his score with a bewildered expression, and said, "Damn! Where are my assists?"

Hear this.

Let alone the viewers in the live stream.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The game continues.

Although both sides are at the same skill level.

However, the disparity in strength was still very obvious, especially since Lu Yiming and his team played quite seriously, and the score quickly widened from 1-0 to 10-4.

As for the four games lost...

The main reason is that the opponent adopted a risky tactic called RUSHB.

RUSHB's core principle is speed.

Although it's a relatively basic tactic, the Desert 2 map is ultimately a terrorist map. If you send someone to gather information in the secret passage, you can find out the CT team's defensive setup.

Lu Yiming's side naturally couldn't give up their advantage with long guns. In two rounds, when the opponent successfully broke through the point, they simply gave up on defending or chose to block the point and eliminate them when they retreated from the B bomb site.

Losing one game won't affect them much anyway.

This also conveniently breaks the other party's economic compensation.

That's what makes CS:GO so difficult to learn.

Unlike most shooting games.

CS:GO places greater emphasis on intelligence, strategy, and teamwork.

The first half is now over.

Everyone relaxed a little.

At the request of his viewers, Xiao Bo opened the battle record panel.

K:27 A:8 D:2 MVP:8
Looking at Lu Yiming's impressive record, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Lu! It's such a waste that someone with your skill level isn't a professional player!"

Lu Yiming's position is free agent.

Normally, the free agent role is usually played by a player who is not very skilled or has relatively poor skills.

Because often, free agents don't actually play a very significant role in the game.

Therefore, skilled players are generally not chosen for this role.

But Lu Yiming is different.

His versatility makes him shine as a free agent.

They always manage to bring them enough surprises during the game.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "I can't compete! I'll just play ranked matches to get by!"

Hear this.

The viewers were also delighted.

With Lu Yiming's inventory as collateral, virtually no one would doubt that he was cheating.

It can be said that in the eyes of his fans, Lu Yiming is the most technically skilled among entertainment streamers, and also the most entertaining among technical streamers.

The five of them played a total of four games that night.

It takes about half an hour.

After the four games were finished, it was already past midnight.

At this time.

Everyone noticed the changes in the comments section.

[Holy crap! Mr. Lu! Quick, check the official announcement!]

Wow! Shark platform managed to get FaZe on board!

Haha! This is going to be funny tomorrow!

[Beat FaZe? Wouldn't that send them to jail?]

【.】

The group of people were all taken aback when they noticed the changes in the comments.

Lu Yiming immediately took out his phone and opened Weibo.

After opening the Shark platform's homepage.

I was stunned when I saw the latest news updated at midnight.

The message is a guide to today's activities.

Nine pictures form a 3x3 grid.

The image in the center is for a CSGO streamer competition.

The left side shows the upper body of the five of them, while the right side was originally a question mark in a previously released image.

But by then the question mark had disappeared.

The FaZe club logo has appeared!
The next day arrived.

The CSGO community has been blown up by that Weibo post from last night.

I have to say, Shark Platform's move was truly brilliant!

They've been keeping it under wraps for the past few days and haven't announced it yet.

Only one icon lit up at midnight.

After a night of discussion, the news that Lu Yiming and his team were about to face off against FaZe was trending on CS:GO by players.

Streamer team vs. active professional team?
This is so good that CSGO players are saying, "This is amazing!"

However, some players believe that...

Shark platform probably can't invite the main team, so it's likely that they'll use FaZe's second team or youth training to put together five opponents for Lu Yiming and others.

noon.

Kanglong Prince Wine House.

Lu Yiming arrived late to the rare treat that Eggplant was hosting.

He faced the expectant gazes of several people.

Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "One good news and one bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Eggplant is an impatient plant.

He immediately said, "Forget about which one first! Mr. Lu, just tell us! Are we playing the main team, the second team, or the youth training team?"

Several people saw the message last night.

All of them were breached to varying degrees, and only Lu Yiming was merely surprised.

After the defenses were breached, a discussion naturally took place.

The discussion concluded that they still had a chance as long as they weren't on the same team.

Lu Yiming originally wanted to lighten the mood.

But looking at the eagerness of the people in front of him to know the answer...

Or should I just tell them everything I've learned from asking?

"Two youth academy graduates and three main players. I won't talk about the youth academy graduates, since I don't know them anyway. The main players are NIKO, B-Xiaojiang, and Leng Shen."

I have no impression of B or the other guys.

All I know is that she's a newcomer to FaZe, invited by NIKO.

But Cold God and NIKO are different.

Both can be considered top professional CS:GO players.

Cold God was even ranked TOP1 in 16!

"WTF! What the hell are we supposed to do?!"

The eggplant has broken through the defenses.

When looking for an opponent, you should choose someone of similar strength.

It's like when you leave the starting village, the village chief gives you the best peach wood sword in the whole village, points it at a giant dragon flying in the distance, and tells you to kill it.

Lu Yiming noticed that the expressions on the faces of the others were all similar.

He chuckled softly, "There's good news too! NIKO and Cold God have stipulated that only pistols can be used. We can use the weapons we drop during the game, but the guns we pick up can only be used in the current game and cannot be passed to teammates in the next game!"

Hear this.

Several people's eyes lit up.

If they previously felt their chances of winning were slim, now that they could only use pistols, while they couldn't say it was a 50/50 chance, at least they had a chance of victory.

The competition starts at 3 p.m.

Those who saw a glimmer of hope for victory then ate and chatted.

at the same time.

NIKO returned to the club under the cover of night.

The young B opened the door for him.

Seeing NIKO reeking of alcohol, b couldn't help but say, "Why are you drinking? We have a match later!"

Upon hearing this, NIKO let out a burp.

He then chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, newbie! This is just a regular exhibition match, and I'm not drunk! Give me a little time to take a shower!"

b is a newcomer who has just joined the team.

It's perfectly normal to call someone a newbie.

Moreover, B was invited to the team by NIKO, and the two have a close relationship.

Upon hearing this, B shrugged, giving the impression that he should go explain to the coach.

NIKO couldn't help but shrink back.

Unlike many professional teams in China.

Foreign team coaches really have a lot of power.

It was almost 3 p.m.

The esports stage gradually began to gather a crowd.

Five pieces of equipment were prepared above the stage.

The crowd below was discussing the upcoming match between Lu Yiming and his team.

"Guess what the odds are?"

"I bet the streamer team is going to fall apart! Even when they're playing against the youth team!"

"Hahaha! I just want to see what the difference is between a streamer and a professional!"

"."

The audience below chatted in small groups.

None of them had a good impression of the streamer's team.

At this moment, background music started playing.

All eyes turned to the stage.

The entrance ceremony was very simple.

A few people came on stage one after another to greet the audience.

It's no wonder they spent a lot of money to invite over two thousand viewers; the cheers for Lu Yiming's appearance were the loudest.

Don't tell me yet.

The five people were wearing matching clothes.

It really does feel like they're in a competition.

The five then took their seats.

The host began explaining the rules of the competition.

"The broadcaster team's opponent in this competition is from FaZe."

The host was referring to what Lu Yiming had said at the dinner party earlier.

At this moment, the comments section was buzzing with discussion.

[The platform is really shrewd! With two youth academy players and three main players, their teamwork isn't as good. Plus, they've limited Niko and Leng Shen, so Lu and his team actually have a real chance to win!]

[The person upstairs is being too optimistic. I don't know much about Coldzera's pistols, but Niko is the Desert Eagle king, right? Even though the guns the two get can't be passed to the next round, the economy system doesn't say they can't be used by teammates!]

It's normal that I don't recognize the youth players, but can someone introduce this young player?

[The young player B is the one who's a regular in the top five of the FPL ladder. He was spotted by NIKO, invited to try out for the team, and then stayed on.]

【.】

A game that simply involves beating up noobs is definitely not interesting.

At this point, the platform will publish the rules.

Both the audience at the venue and the viewers watching the live stream were filled with anticipation for the upcoming match.

There are three large screens on the stage.

The screen on the left shows several people adjusting the equipment.

After all, they are playing for a professional team.

Everyone brought their own tools (keyboard, mouse).

Lu Yiming is the only exception.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw him in the picture.

Lu Yiming was seated in the very center of the group of five.

On the left and right are sniper Eggplant and follow-up shot Winter Melon Strong.

He was watching me unpack the package.

Eggplant said speechlessly, "President Lu! You're messing with my mentality!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming raised his hand and pointed upwards.

The eggplant also looked up.

After seeing that the same logo was on the express box that Lu Yiming was holding.

He then shrugged and said, "Okay! I understand the client's task!"

Just as Lu Yiming finished unpacking the package and started installing and debugging the driver.

The image appeared on the right side of the screen.

This elicited gasps from the audience.

It was NIKO and the others in the training room.

This competition was held on the FACEIT platform.

Shark platform provided FACEIT platform accounts for several people.

However, all of them had some.

He declined before going on stage.

At this moment, NIKO yawned.

This attitude made some of the audience want to laugh.

It is clear.

NIKO wasn't serious at all.

But soon.

NIKO's expression suddenly turned serious. "Holy crap! Mr. Lu is awesome! So you're Yiming!"

Dongguaqiang's startled breathing drew the attention of the others.

At the same time, the director thoughtfully switched Lu Yiming's screen image to the big screen.

Many CSGO players are familiar with the FACEIT platform.

However, many of them were seeing the main interface of the FACEIT platform for the first time.

Therefore, it's not very clear why Eggplant and the others are surrounding Lu Yiming with such surprised expressions.

However, there are still some expert players in the live stream.

[The Smurfs: Holy crap! YIMING! President Lu is actually YIMING!]

[Time: What does YIMING mean? Is there anything special about President Lu's ID?]

[Six Paths: You don't even know YIMING? That kid is the one who was a regular in the top five of the FPL ladder before he went to FaZe! YIMING was in the top three of the FPL ladder for two seasons!]

[Atomized: Holy crap! CEO Lu is actually that random player from FaceIT! Awesome!]

[From adversity to prosperity: It's stable now! YIMING is NIKO's nemesis!]

【.】

Few CSGO players follow the matches.

Only one out of ten players might pay attention to it.

Not to mention FACEIT, a foreign gaming platform.

At this moment, there were sporadic exclamations from the crowd. Then, these people began to explain the significance of this ID to the bewildered crowd around them. After learning that the ID Lu Yiming was the same as that of the top player on the largest overseas gaming platform, they were surprised.

Some of Lu Yiming's fans looked surprised.

After all, Lu Yiming had never mentioned this matter in his live stream.

This would be a normal CS:GO streamer.

They've been hyping it up for ages, haven't they?

At this time.

Eggplant intercepted Lu Yiming's mouse control.

After opening the ladder rankings.

The current ID is ranked second.

She immediately turned her head and looked at Lu Yiming with a resentful expression, saying, "President Lu! You've been hiding your true intentions well!"

FACEIT is arguably the platform with the most professional players.

Making it into the top ten is extremely difficult.

Basically, as long as you enter the top ten of this ranking for two consecutive seasons, it means you can get a ticket to the youth training trial. It can be said to be the talent incubation base for major CSGO teams.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "You didn't ask! What do you mean I hid it!"

At this time.

Dongguaqiang, standing to the side, had a look of sudden realization on his face.

Then Lu Yiming's voice fell as he excitedly said, "You still say you weren't hiding! I watched your demo during your previous live stream. As soon as you used the quad-holographic dark gold AK and the Forest Dragon Sniper, I could guess it was you!"

The ID YIMING is very popular overseas.

There's a highlight reel in particular where the background is all NIKO, and he misses three shots with his Desert Eagle from behind, almost wiping out NIKO's entire fortune.

Therefore, some viewers suggested that Dongguaqiang give him a closer look.

Unfortunately, even after examining the demo with a magnifying glass, no concrete evidence could be found that YIMING cheated.

To put it bluntly, if you just look at the demos, anyone could look like a cheater, but looking like a cheater and having concrete evidence are two different things.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming explained, "The Dragon Lore was borrowed from PDD, and then Eggplant borrowed it too. The same goes for the Dark Gold 661!"

The group's eyes turned to the eggplant.

The eggplant didn't say anything.

I opened the inventory.

You can see Lu Yiming's Dark Gold 611 and Dragon Sniper rifle in the first row.

at this time.

There was a female referee behind them.

He looked at the five undisciplined people in front of him with a speechless expression.

Then the director's command came through the in-ear monitor.

She called out to remind them, "Um... the competition is about to begin!"

The group was taken aback upon hearing the voice.

He turned to look at the female referee.

Say something.

Shark platform pays quite a bit of attention to detail.

They then returned to their respective seats.

If they felt their chances of winning were 20/80 before the competition started, they've now improved to at least 40/60.

There is no other reason!

On the external network.

The ID YIMING is said to be a Noble Phantasm specifically designed to target NIKO!
Games start.

The map is Desert II.

At this moment, the message entered by NIKO appeared in the chat box for everyone.

NIKO: Pistol Middle Road 1V1?
Pistol, mid lane, 1v1.

This information elicited gasps of surprise from the audience.

of course.

What followed were question marks from their teammates.

b_jun:???
Cold God: ???
eggplant:???
Lu Yiming was delighted when he saw the message.

He immediately replied with the message: "OK! Just once!"

I have to say the live stream was incredibly entertaining.

At this point, most of the viewers watching the live stream or at the scene learned about the feud between the two through other people or through Baidu.

This 1v1 pistol battle in the middle lane excited everyone.

NIKO saw that Lu Yiming had agreed to come once.

He immediately rubbed his face.

His expression turned serious.

The waiting period has ended.

The countdown to the start of the game has begun.

meet as planned.

Everyone else remained still until the two decided to fight to the death.

NIKO didn't hesitate and immediately picked up a Desert Eagle.

The skin uses the most expensive Blazing Flame.

Lu Yiming was the same.

His Desert Eagle was from an old castle.

The skin's name is Hand Cannon
Games start.

Lu Yiming went straight to the middle sandy area. NIKO did not choose to jump down the secret passage, since there would be a blind spot when he came out of the secret passage. As soon as he appeared, Lu Yiming should have just walked to the middle of the sandy area.

As for utilizing the height of the slope to prioritize the placement of the points.

His pride wouldn't allow it.

Lu Yiming had already arrived at the location near slope B in the sandy area.

After confirming that NIKO had not gone down the secret passage.

He also didn't anticipate the headshot line at the mid-to-long distance corner.

This was an understanding reached with NIKO; neither of them intended to take advantage of the other.

soon.

The two estimated the approximate time in their minds, and then simultaneously darted to the left and right and came to an abrupt stop.

For the Desert Eagle to be used effectively, emergency stops are extremely important.

Don't expect this gun to have the same accuracy as the Tec-9, and don't try to control the bullet trajectory, because the trajectory of the Desert Eagle is completely uncontrollable.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the big screen.

The two perspectives are from the left and right.

It can be seen that the shots were fired at roughly the same time.

however.

As the gunshots subsided.

NIKO's screen went dark.

The notification for the headshot kill appeared.

Lu Yiming survived.

The audience in the front row immediately cheered.

At this moment, Leng Shen patted NIKO on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, this guy's sudden stop is really steady! And you are at a natural disadvantage in a gunfight from this position."

Hearing this, NIKO shrugged and said, "I know! But I'm still not happy about losing!"

Lu Yiming is very strong.

However, it's not so strong that it's impossible to defeat.

The reason his demo became popular on the internet is because...

If you look closely at the details, you'll find that all his metrics are incredibly impressive.

Just like different professional players have strengths and weaknesses, if the strength is rated SS and the weakness is rated A, then Lu Yiming is the kind of player who is slightly weaker than SS but has an S rating. However, he has no weaknesses and can be rated S in all aspects.

Lu Yiming's victory in the gunfight was very encouraging.

Eggplant and the others shouted "Nice!" like crazy.

The two players decided the winner, which meant the game officially began.

How can a five-on-four team lose?

Eggplant confidently carried his gun and walked towards University A.

Lu Yiming won the pistol round with a 5v4 advantage, and also won the second round with his economic advantage. However, starting from the third round, they realized the gap between themselves and the professional players.

When Leng Shen got the M4 from Dong Gua Qiang.

He almost wiped out Lu Yiming's entire team by himself, but after being killed by Lu Yiming to prevent a pentakill, Lu Yiming was also taken down by his teammates who arrived later.

Since both FaZe members could only use pistols.

Their playing style is generally conservative.

Basically, the outcome of the game is decided in the last minute of the game.

The score started at 2-1.

Gradually, the score reached five to nine.

The first half has ended.

Lu Yiming spent all his gold to buy Qiezi a sniper rifle, and Qiezi also bought a Bison and tossed it to him, saying with a wry smile, "These guys are really strong! Especially that little b! But don't worry! I'll play it safe this time and definitely won't give them a chance!"

He truly deserves to be called a genius player.

Eggplant tried several times to compete with its opponent in terms of sheer strength, but lost each time.

I naturally feel a little embarrassed to give it away for free a few times.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Just keep a calm mindset. It's not shameful to lose to us. It's the professional players who should lose!"

Lu Yiming's words eased the tense atmosphere within the team somewhat.

Meanwhile, the chat in the live stream was also buzzing with discussion.

[It feels like relying on just Lu Zong alone isn't enough! Are professional players really that strong?]

[It seems like President Lu isn't going all out yet. If he could go all out, there's still a chance!]

[The main reason is that they cooperated well, and President Lu didn't dare to go straight for them. After all, even if he could replace one of them, it wouldn't be of much use, and it would only give NIKO and Leng Shen a chance to get their hands on the gun!]

[These two from FaZe's youth academy are pretty strong! And this new recruit, b, seems to have some skill too. Eggplant looks like a father beating his son next to him!]

There's nothing we can do! That's the difference between a professional player and a streamer. They make a living by playing in competitions; if they weren't good enough, the team owner would have replaced them long ago.

【.】

Eggplant's mistake in the last game gave FaZe two sniper rifles.

This basically confirms that the first half of the game will end with a score of 5 to 10.

Not bad though.

The group won at least five games, but Lu Yiming's performance played a significant role in all of them.

It's quite obvious who the key player is in this team.

The wall in the secret passage has not appeared in the current version.

CT wants to go to package B.

The second position closest to the center gate is basically a gamble with your life.

As the second-in-command, Lu Yiming naturally wouldn't gamble on whether the opponent could hit him, but in this round, it seemed he had no choice but to gamble.

Games start.

B-Junior went directly to the top of the secret passage and started aiming. At this moment, Dongguaqiang in the first position had already passed through smoothly, and Lu Yiming in the second position appeared just at the moment B-Junior started aiming.

One advantage of being young is that you react quickly.

He confidently fired a shot.

Unfortunately, no kill notification appeared.

The middle gate lottery is very much a matter of luck. Even though he didn't catch B, he wasn't discouraged. After reminding his teammate that B had passed the second gate, he aimed again at the gap between the middle gates.

This stationary aiming-out state is different from the sudden stop just now.

Now anyone who dares to reveal his confidence will surely be killed!
However, at this point, none of the FaZe members realized that they had begun to take things seriously.

There was none of the disdain one might have shown before the game started.

The atmosphere was palpable to the audience at the scene, evident in the expressions on their faces displayed on the screen.

They then looked at Lu Yiming and the others on another screen with considerable surprise.

Although certain restrictions were implemented to ensure that the strength of both sides was as even as possible.

But he is, after all, an active professional player.

It's really impressive that we were able to get them to take it seriously.

Then, someone shouted "Go, President Lu!" (or "Go, President Lu!") from the front.

soon.

The audience responded enthusiastically.

I knew I was going to get yelled at for cutting off the chapter.

But I really couldn't hold on any longer.

I started having a fever around 8 o'clock, and after taking some cold medicine, my eyes are drooping.

Today's update: 10000
The weather is getting cooler, please remember to wear warm clothes.

Good night~
Makka Pakka~
