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

Chapter 317 Cruel, bloody and regretful collision

Taboo: Revenge, driving 911...

The Falcons arrived at the venue early to prepare.

Today is the most important game for the Falcons in this RMR, because this game is related to the Major qualification and ranking.

By winning this RMR, they will get stickers and officially become a Major team.

Even if we lose today, we still have two BO3 games to advance.

But if we can successfully advance today, we will be able to become first in the group.

In subsequent Majors, you will be matched with lower-ranked teams, which will make the game easier and avoid a strong clash right from the start, which puts you under a lot of pressure.

So if possible, they still want to win this BO3 and advance.

But their match today is in the second round.

After a brief discussion of the BP decision, the Falcons players were free to move around.

Lao Tang went to watch Team A's game.

JKS and Breathe wandered around the venue.

Only NIKO was sleeping soundly on the sofa. He had been running for too long before going to bed yesterday, which resulted in a little insomnia, so he was replenishing his energy.

Jiang Yang turned into a surfing expert and started to pass the time by browsing his phone.

He came across a video clip about 'the best five people'.

The clips in it were originally clips from his production of 'Daily Life of Pig Farming in GL'.

In one scene, Ultraman is holding a camera and filming the GL members who are taking a break.

Aiming at Jiang Yang: "This is the team's external USB drive, just use it to kill people in the game."

To siuhy: "This is the team's command, it will only make us rush B."

To IM: "This is the resource monster in the team, he is not as good as me."

To Snax: "He's the team's most powerful person. If a real-life CS game starts, we'll need him to play."

The next video clip is IM saying in an interview: "I really want to form a team with Young for life."

Ultraman said in an interview: "I want to play CS with my brothers..."

And so on.

Amid the sad background music, the final scene stayed on the moment when GL lifted the trophy at the Antwerp Major.

The comments were full of tears.

Even Jiang Yang was quite emotional. His situation in the Falcons was much better than GL's. He had more powerful teammates and a higher status in the team.

But after all, he was the one who founded the first proper professional team, so naturally he missed it very much.

He closed the nostalgic video and looked at the Major discussion area, where he found a discussion thread about the Falcons.

[Rational discussion, can the Falcon's current stats compete for a Major title? ]

This post was originally published before RMR, and the initial replies below were all questions.

[To be honest, the owner of the Falcons spent a lot of money to recruit talents, aiming for the Major championship.]

[Based on the strength on paper, it is indeed possible for them to compete for the championship, but there are so many star players on the team, and resource allocation is also a big problem]

[I think it will be just like the first Faze, it will disappear immediately]

[It is not easy to form an international column. We need to work together slowly. Don’t have too high expectations.]

Then, two days after RMR started playing, this discussion thread was directly dug up.

[With the current state of the Falcons, there seem to be few teams that can beat him]

[Today's 16:1 stunned me, it's really a father's love]

[If there was no mistake in that point, the game would have been shutout. The Falcons’ firepower is too scary]

[The main reason is that the numbers are too high. In this team, the three generals' paper strength far exceeds that of other players. The three top players in the team have always shown outstanding performances. JKS's performance is not bad either. He is a completely qualified player. Only hooxi's frontal firepower as a commander is not so ideal.]

[It doesn't matter. The command's firepower does not affect the team's performance. The last thing Falcon lacks is firepower.]

[It is really outrageous. This group of Falcon top TOPs is too terrifying. One is that the stats are high. Each of the three top TOPs can kill randomly. The second is that the efficiency of supplementary shooting is high. If the previous one dies, the next one can immediately make up for it. This is the formation of a space battleship.]

[I also watched these two games. The opponents really didn’t have much chance to kill in a row. They recovered too quickly.]

[This newly formed team will play against the new champion Faze tomorrow. I really think they have a good chance of winning.]

[It’s not certain. The main reason is that I think hooxi’s shooting is too soft. In the two games, there is a big brother of this level in the team, but the record is still negative. If a high-pressure situation appears, he may not be able to withstand the pressure.]

[Indeed, I think if siuhy was replaced by breathing, this team would really be a dynasty... Alas, the former brothers in CS are now fighting on their own]

【…】

Before Jiang Yang finished reading the sequel, he heard NIKO shouting, "Nice ilya! That's how you have to fight!"

Jiang Yang came over and found that NIKO had woken up from his sleep and was watching G2's game.

At this moment, the screen shows a match between G2 and EF in the loser group. In the previous two days of games, both EF and G2 lost, and now both teams are in the 0-2 group.

Therefore, this BO3 is very crucial. It determines who between EF and G2 can continue to stay in this arena. The loser will miss the Rio Major directly.

As professional players in the first-line arena, everyone wants to be a performer and does not want to just watch from the audience.

In this BO2 that determines the life and death of G3 and EF, both sides have already chosen their own maps and the game has entered map three.

And now the score has reached 14:14.

"The crucial point!" Jiang Yang said.

NIKO took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed a crucial point. Both sides are in a bad economy, so basically one point is equal to two points."

In such a tense situation, unless there is any incredible performance later, this round will basically be the decisive round.

The map is Nuclear Crisis.

As the attacking side, G2 gave a wave of props to control the outside map at the beginning, but only Hunter was hanging in the outside.

After doing this for 40 seconds, G2 launched a round of bombs in area A.

But woxic was quite patient in the outside field. He used A1 to kill the hunter who wanted to sneak in through the main gate in the second time, which marked the beginning of this point.

The A point bombing officially started, and snax and JackZ were the first to be killed during the battle.

IM completed the kill and placed a grenade at the bomb site, leaving a 2v3 endgame.

However, after the mine pack was placed, the opponent's reinforcements were already in place.

IM killed one person at the bomb site, and then was killed by the second person on the third floor of the opponent's site who was there to make up for the loss.

It was left to m0ney to handle this 1v2 endgame. M0nesy was originally in the yellow room, and when he saw this, he immediately used a sniper to counterattack.

He chose to take the initiative, but the first shot he fired missed. Jiang Yang frowned when he saw this, "He's nervous."

Having worked with several members of G2, he also hoped that this group of G2 could advance to the Major. However, m0nesy was obviously getting nervous during this shot, which gave him a bad feeling.

Jiang Yang’s premonition was correct.

After m0nesy's empty-handed shot, he became noticeably more nervous.

When he knew that the opponent only had one Xantares left, m0nesy's idea was correct. He chose to increase the angle of the gun and wait for the Turkish ruthless man to come to him.

But when xantares used his most classic peek, m0nesy couldn't help but throw the gun away in advance.

However, the shot missed the target, and in the end m0nesy could only watch EF dismantle the grenade pack and take the match point first.

Jiang Yang could clearly feel from the camera that IM was very disappointed.

But IM took the initiative to comfort m0nesy afterwards, trying to force the game into overtime.

However, the truth is so cruel after all.

With the end of the last point, the score of map 2 between G14 and EF was fixed at 16:.

This also means that G2, as a veteran first-line team, was the first to leave the Rio Major.

After the game, m0nesy turned his back to hunter and IM in the player seat, and his emotions fluctuated greatly. After NIKO left, G2 missed the Rio Major and even failed to qualify for the main tournament, which was something no one expected.

G2's haters thought that this team would not be able to win the Major championship and would not be able to enter the knockout stage, but they never expected that G2 would give them such a big thing that they couldn't even make it to the main competition.

The faces of these familiar former teammates in the camera were all filled with loss, and NIKO also felt a little complicated for a moment.

Their first two days went so smoothly that for a moment he seemed to have forgotten the tension and regrets of the Major.

Today, his old club G2 was eliminated, which suddenly sounded the alarm for him and made him realize that he was participating in this damn Major, a Major where countless players would do their best to get good results.

It’s a damn good event, and it’s also a wonderful event!

It represents honor, it represents dreams, and it represents regret.

It's also just a Major.

NIKO was very sad because his brother missed the Major.

The Falcon members who had gone out for a walk gradually came back.

With the end of G2's game, they are about to take the stage.

As a 2-0 team, they do not have as much pressure as G2 and EF for the time being, but they also have to work hard to fight for a better ranking and qualifying.

G2 and EF used this game to sound the alarm for them and told them that there are no weak teams in the Major.

With mixed emotions, NIKO followed his teammates into the player channel.

At the end of the contestant channel, he saw Hunter carrying a peripheral bag.

Hunter and NIKO looked at each other for a few seconds.

Hunter's eyes instantly turned red. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he just shouted to NIKO: "Fight well!"

This is the greatest expectation that a loser can have for his younger brother.

NIKO could only watch the hunter leave, with a feeling of melancholy spreading in his heart.

The Falcon members stopped in tacit understanding until Hunter left the contestant channel.

NIKO came back to his senses and felt his brother's expectations. The past Major flashed back to his mind again, making him feel heavy in his heart and a little breathless.

At this time, he noticed that Jiang Yang in front of him was still chewing gum heartlessly.

Noticing NIKO's gaze, Jiang Yang casually took out a candy from his pocket: "This is given by Ultraman. Do you want to eat it too?"

NIKO refused the chewing gum Jiang Yang offered him, but took one to try.

He said: "Sometimes I envy you a little bit. After winning the Major championship, it seems that the Major will not bring you any pressure."

Jiang Yang shook his head: "How is that possible? There must be pressure, and it's not small."

When you come out and form a team again, the popularity is very high from the very beginning. In this case, if you don't play well, you will instantly become a laughing stock in the circle.

Young people are the most proud, so he decided to prove himself with his own strength and Falcon's achievements.

"Then why do you seem to have no pressure?" Nikko was very confused. "You see Device is worried all the time."

Jiang Yang chewed gum and said nonchalantly: "This is called confidence. I have confidence in myself and I also have confidence in you."

NIKO retorted: "I think I am also very confident, but it is completely different from your state. It seems that you are not nervous most of the time."

Jiang Yang shook his head: "You can't be confident only when you win. That's not confidence, that's a repetition of the result."

NIKO wanted to say something, but Jiang Yang's words were like a thunder in his ears. He wanted to refute but couldn't say anything.

He seems to be like this. He is confident when he wins, but when he loses or is under pressure, he always becomes anxious, impatient, and even his operations become distorted.

In some ways, he really wasn't confident.

The other members of Falcon also gasped. They didn't expect that Jiang Yang, who was so young, could say such philosophical words.

Jiang Yang looked at NIKO and said casually: "I've noticed this problem of yours since Cato. Once you meet a stronger opponent, your nervousness will be magnified."

"It's like your best one tap, which you rarely use when playing against strong teams, but in fact your one tap ability is one of the best in the world."

"Your Desert Eagle ability is also the best in the world, but after the mistake in Stockholm, you haven't played Desert Eagle well for a long time."

Jiang Yang stopped chewing and looked at NIKO seriously: "I can accept that you have become worse, but don't let me see your lack of confidence, okay?"

As a fan of NIKO, Jiang Yang also feels a little disappointed with him.

NIKO was speechless at this moment.

He really wanted to refute Jiang Yang, but everything Jiang Yang said seemed to be correct.

Every time he faces a strong team, he is able to perform excellent operations, but he often operates under high pressure.

After the Stockholm Major, he felt that he was not as comfortable using the Desert Eagle as before, because he always felt that the Desert Eagle's trajectory might be a little off.

So it has been almost a year since the Stockholm Major, and he has yet to put on a standout performance with the Desert Eagle on the field.

He was silent for a while, then asked Jiang Yang: "What do you think about playing against Faze today? Don't you feel any pressure?"

"Of course I feel pressure." Jiang Yang spit out the gum, "But I still think I can win, there is no conflict."

"What kind of argument is this?" JKS felt that Jiang Yang was being a bit sophistry.

Jiang Yang said: "I feel pressured because I recognize Faze's strength. After all, they are the new champions of Cologne, but I don't think I will lose to them."

When he said this, Jiang Yang's confidence was almost overflowing.

Only at this time did the Falcon team realize the biggest difference between Jiang Yang and the other players.

At least in CSGO, this guy has unparalleled confidence.

Jiang Yang patted NIKO on the shoulder and said, "Don't let past failures hold you back from moving forward!"

After saying that, Jiang Yang took the lead and walked towards the contestant seats.

NIKO took a breath. Facing the past is often the easiest way to resolve a knot in your heart.

Jiang Yang's indifferent words, to some extent, helped NIKO to untie the knot in his heart.

Device looked at Jiang Yang who was impatient to go to the competition seat and said with a smile: "It seems that our star player is also a psychological counselor."

NIKO let out a long sigh, "If the little brats are so confident, we old guys can't fall behind~"

"Let's go, today let's go with full confidence..."

"Compete with Faze clan!"

……

The FAZE members arrived earlier than the Falcon.

They plugged in all the peripherals in the player's booth before seeing the Falcon members enter the booth.

The cousin even saw NIKO waving to him.

"NIKO, Hello~"

The old teammate waved to him, and the cousin naturally responded.

But after just a brief greeting, my cousin's brows began to frown.

The Rain God beside him asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The eldest cousin shook his head and smiled sinisterly: "Nothing, I just farted, it's a bit smelly..."

Before the game, I felt that the opponent's condition was not right. If I said it out loud at this time, it would make my teammates feel more pressured, and the situation would be a little bad.

The Rain God looked at him speechlessly.

The cousin looked at NIKO, who was smiling brightly, and felt something was wrong.

Because he had only seen this kind of confident smile on NIKO's face during the Mouz and Faze periods.

Ever since leaving Faze and joining G2, NIKO has always seemed to be worried.

At this moment, the cousin seemed to see the omnipotent NIKO...

came back!
