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

Chapter 331 NIKO: "I have premonitions!"

After Jiang Yang turned the tide with an outrageous quadra kill, C9 had no chance at all.

For C9, entering the rifle rounds also meant they began to truly feel the Falcon's direct firepower.

sh1r0 had just scored a quadra kill and secured a point when Jiang Yang retaliated with a quadra kill of his own, instantly creating a sense of urgency.

The only good news right now is that the economy is still relatively healthy, so they can still manage a relatively tough long-range gunfight.

In the C9 player seat.

Nafany offered words of comfort: "Actually, we defended this point without any problems; our strategy was sound."

"The banana lane gained an advantage at the start, but the team couldn't hold onto it later, which was only due to Young's individual performance."

"Anyone can have a burst of individual ability, but just now it was only a little bit short."

That's what they said, but several C9 members looked somewhat unwilling.

At the moment the round ended, they had a brief exchange and finally concluded that Jiang Yang only had single-digit health points left.

In that last endgame, if they had been more accurate and reacted faster, the outcome of the previous round would have been different.

After all, it's just a matter of one shot.

However, Jiang Yang turned the tide with two outrageous blind shots, a performance that can only be described as VAC-worthy, leaving no room for argument.

They can only focus more on the subsequent confrontation and try to salvage the situation.

"If we get this point, we'll start with the 3B opening for the banana lane as usual. Let's take control of the banana lane first."

He turned to look at Ale, "For this round, you and interZ should play it safe at point A. Start by giving out smoke in the middle and don't give the enemy a chance to speed up."

The biggest concern for 3B at the start is that something goes wrong at point A, but nafany won't leave that problem unresolved.

Once the preparations were complete, he led his team towards the banana path.

The game started with a terrorist smoke grenade, followed by a mid-range fire grenade, two tree mines, and a large number of flashbangs. Banana Road had become a living hell.

Device is holding the sniper rifle he got from Jiang Yang.

He originally planned to use his positional advantage to perform a 'carry play' on the banana lane, but C9's series of item combos made it impossible for him to open his eyes in the banana lane.

Breathing in the groove, he didn't have time to take out a cigarette to put out the fire. Instead, he boldly stepped forward, wanting to engage in a direct gunfight.

However, his banana-shaped defense wasn't refined enough, and the opponent's flashbang quickly blinded him completely.

"Both sides had a strong desire to control the banana route in this round, but C9, as the CT side, had a greater advantage in the banana route at the start. In the early round, the utility items directly crippled the terrorists in the banana route."

"The second flashbang came, and Hobbit rushed forward with his MP9, instantly taking down the low-health Breath with a burst of fire. Could Device snipe him from the tree? He tried to peek, but Hobbit jumped up and took him out with a burst of fire."

Jiang Yang and NIKO were still cosplaying Pacific Rim drivers in the middle lane. They moved in unison and fired smoke grenades through the T-junction in the middle lane to prevent the enemy from getting two hits.

But unexpectedly, bad news came from Banana Road at this time.

When NIKO heard Banana Road calling for help, he immediately turned around to help and tried to cover for the device, but he was unsuccessful.

He then used a Banana Groove Fire and a Close-Range Mine to try and add some damage, but unfortunately, he still failed to get a kill. Instead, an enemy Terrorist Fire forced him back.

At this moment, he glanced at the minimap and saw that Jiang Yang had already returned from the VIP area and picked up the grenade pack.

"With C9's banana-shaped counterattack, the situation has now become 3 against 5."

"After gaining an advantage on the banana lane, the defense's second-time formation has become a relatively conservative 3A2B," Masici explained.

"On the banana path, two rather tricky positions are used for setting up guns. sh1r0 is standing on the barrel in a non-pre-aiming position to hold the enemy's entrance, and Hobbit even hid in the groove after NIKO finished burning the groove fire. This positioning is quite scientific."

MO added from the side, "Now it depends on how your favorite Yangyang and Nini do it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw JKS, who was looking for an opportunity on the A2 floor, being grabbed by Ah Le, who had come out of the boiler room, and turned away.

After being repeatedly wiped out by JKS in the previous rounds, Ah Le finally got his revenge.

Now, with his numerical advantage widening further, his smile has grown even wider.

Young, you had such an insane performance in the last game, but you can't have that kind of performance every game!

With this in mind, he boldly made his way down the side path, preparing to strike hard when the time was right and disarm Falcon of his remaining two spears.

……

"We can attack or defend." Breathing didn't put any pressure on them in the endgame; their poor performance in the early banana lane battle was a major weakness.

Now the mess has fallen on Jiang Yang and NIKO.

"Don't rush, let the two of us give it a try." Jiang Yang's tone was relatively relaxed.

Now that he has NIKO in front of him, the two of them fighting side by side makes the pressure relatively less.

Hearing Jiang Yang's relaxed tone, NIKO couldn't help but smile: "We're in a competition, be serious."

"Shoot towards the banana lane?" Jiang Yang asked.

“Let’s give it a try and see,” NIKO replied.

Although their excellent form made them relatively relaxed, in a 2v5 situation, it depends more on which angle can get the kill.

Seeing this, NIKO turned to look at the wall, preparing to perform a banana path aiming challenge for the nearly 20,000 audience members.

Seeing that Falcon still showed no intention of saving his weapon in the 2v5 situation, Ma Xixi clicked her tongue a few times. Because in a 2v5 situation, anyone who still wants to make a move is either a reckless player or someone with plenty of confidence.

Falcons are not a bunch of reckless brutes; they are purely confident.

"The smoke at Banana Crossing gradually dissipated, and the cousin duo still planned to come over and look for an opportunity. However, sh1r0 was standing on the barrel with his sniper rifle set up. Could the sniper rifle that device dropped become a foreshadowing? Would NIKO pre-aime at this position?" sh1r0's unusual positioning made Ma Xixi have some doubts about NIKO, the world's number one pre-aiming player.

NIKO's crosshair slid across the wall as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual, before being pulled horizontally.

The viewers in the live stream were astonished to see that after NIKO swung the crosshair horizontally, it landed steadily on the fly's head above the barrel!

The AK47 fired, and the bullet pierced sh1r0's skull, causing massive damage.

The moment NIKO shot down sh1r0, he immediately slashed to the right towards the tree. He saw that sh1r0 had a sniper rifle in his hand, but the instant device was killed, he came over and sprayed bullets to suppress him.

It's impossible for sh1r0 to get the sniper rifle from the tree and then run back to the barrel in complete silence; the timing doesn't match up at all. So there must have been someone else playing in coordination with him.

He aimed at the tree horizontally, but no one came out to follow up with a shot immediately.

Niko's experience made him understand immediately, and he took a step back and positioned his crosshair next to the groove.

In the next frame, the hobbit in the groove rushes out with an AK47.

"Da da da!"

[NIKO used an AK47 to headshot and kill sh1r0]

[NIKO used an AK47 to headshot and kill hobbit]

"Holy crap, NIKO actually pre-aimed! You even pre-aimed at this position?! sh1r0 didn't even have a chance to fire!"

Masisi burst into laughter, "Hobitra went out to finish off the enemy, but Niko realized it too!!"

"C9, what are you doing? Why did you challenge the aiming master's aim? Now the sniper has been torn apart, the follow-up shooter has been taken out, and B site is completely cleared!"

[This SH1R0 sniper rifle is no match for him!]

[sh1r0's perspective is terrifying; NIKO dies instantly with just one slide step]

[Ni's Pre-Aim]

The train has started moving; your good fortune is here!

[NIKO's aim is absolutely perfect!]

With Yangyang and Nini there, I felt this 2v5 situation had a chance; it really makes sense!

【…】

The viewers in the live stream immediately started discussing it, and the Brazilian players in the audience also exclaimed in surprise. NIKO's pre-aimed kill was truly a high-octane moment.

"B point should be empty! Follow me to B!" NIKO shouted excitedly after getting two kills.

Jiang Yang tossed the bomb to NIKO and reminded him, "You go straight to the bomb site, I'll stay in Banana Lane to cut off the enemy."

As NIKO sprinted forward, Jiang Yang tossed out a police cigarette, allowing NIKO to choose her position freely.

“NIKO took the bomb and went into the bomb site, while his cousin stayed in the banana lane. They immediately dropped a coffin bomb, but C9 quickly covered the area. In the next moment, nafany and interZ chose to double-push one of the flower beds.”

"NIKO peek came out to take a look and took one down with a short burst of fire, but he didn't expect there was another one on the flower bed, who was finished off by a follow-up shot."

"When interZ took down NIKO, I didn't see anyone follow up with a shot. So I should know that the last cousin was in the banana lane. This was a bomb planted for the cousin."

Ma Xixi said, "In this 2v1 situation, C9 has a grenade launcher, and interZ is not in a hurry. He is waiting for Ale to move forward so he can quickly finish him off."

"My cousin peeked at the banana path, but the timing was just off, so this is going to be a disaster!"

From God's perspective, after InterZ killed NIKO, he silently advanced towards Banana Lane, hugging the yellow wall.

On the banana path, Ah Le also kept close to the wall as he made his way towards the stone slabs.

The remaining two C9 players were pushing forward with a sandwich of cheese between two buns.

Jiang Yang became the one caught in the middle.

……

NIKO cautioned, "We only saw one from the front just now; the other one is probably in the banana lane."

But as Jiang Yang Peek didn't see anyone in the banana path, NIKO couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that everyone is going head-on and has become disconnected?"

What puzzled him was why the other side hadn't dropped any packets yet.

He was slightly worried that the 2v5 might all be for naught.

“It’s right in the banana path,” Jiang Yang confirmed with NIKO.

His thinking is clear.

The CT scan was too quiet to be dripping, and the sudden silence was definitely suspicious.

There's basically no other possibility besides coming to see him.

Peek on Banana Road failed to detect anyone, which means the other party has not yet arrived.

However, after patiently waiting for two seconds, the time was almost up.

With that in mind, Jiang Yang also started to move.

He turned to look at the banana path, adjusted the angle, and pulled out horizontally.

The crosshair quickly spotted the CT moving forward, hugging the wall.

Jiang Yang didn't rush to locate the target. Instead, he took another step to the right, using movement to assist in positioning the crosshair.

"Snapped!"

The AK47 bullet was fired, hitting the opponent's head precisely.

As soon as he secured the kill, Jiang Yang quickly made a 180-degree turn, positioning his crosshair one body length outside the yellow wall.

After his teammate was killed, inteZ could no longer hold back and chased after Jiang Yang, wanting to finish him off from behind.

But the moment he pulled it out, a gunshot from an AK47 rang out, and the body flew towards the sandbag at full speed.

Young used an AK47 to headshot and kill Ax1Le.

Young used an AK47 to headshot and kill interZ.

The moment Jiang Yang took down InterZ with a single bullet, the suppressed cheers from the crowd were no longer contained; in an instant, the entire arena was filled with a deafening roar.

They couldn't believe that Jiang Yang could handle this mess so simply and with such visual impact.

This was a 2v5 situation, but Jiang Yang and NIKO managed to turn the tide through their individual skills.

How could they not be excited?
"My cousin still came to check out Banana Road, but Ah Le is already close by! Holy crap, what is that?" Ma Xixi shouted in the live stream, "He took down Ah Le in one shot!"

"InterZ immediately came out to cover the back attack, but!!! My cousin thought of that!!" Masi's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Not only did he think of that, he even turned around and fired a bullet at InterZ, killing him instantly!!"

"This 2v5 comeback was amazing!"

MO added, "Is it really that smooth? A frontal peek takes a second, a turn and another shot takes a second, that's too exaggerated."

...On the C9 players' bench, when Jiang Yang instantly killed both A-Le and interZ with two bullets.

As the first player from C9 to be eliminated, sh1r0 covered his eyes in anguish.

He still couldn't figure out how the situation had turned out this way.

Isn't it 5 against 2?

How did they get picked off one by one by the enemy?

The chubby boy, Ah Le, standing to the side also lost his smile.

He originally thought that a 5v2 situation was a sure win, so he started looking for opportunities to take down all the Falcon Rifles at the right time.

Unexpectedly, this became the prelude to the failed follow-up shot.

He could actually understand Jiang Yang's performance, after all, in this 2 vs 1 situation, the opponent relied on his shooting skills, and this guy was naturally in good form.

The main thing was that he didn't expect NIKO to clear the banana path all by himself with pre-aiming.

So you two are each going to do your part, huh?

You don’t play like this!
C9's expression made the fans in the helmets in Ma Xixi's live stream laugh.

[Encountering a lost team at the Major, unable to defeat them despite all efforts]

The cousin duo's ability to salvage a situation is as formidable as ever.

I thought my cousin wouldn't be able to handle this situation, but it went so smoothly.

You're overthinking it. For your cousin, this is just a simple 1v2 match.

[Nini broke through and scored three goals, then his cousin followed up with two more in the endgame; Nini's lead car was really too powerful.]

There's nothing we can do; it's raining in Rio today, and the U-20 can't be stopped.

【…】

On the Falcon player's bench.

The moment he won the clutch, Jiang Yang picked up the sniper rifle again, then bumped fists with his teammate: "I told you not to rush, you can handle it, I'm on fire today."

JKS laughed heartily in the corner: "You two are just outrageous."

"Keep this momentum going and score more points in the first half." Breathing seized the opportunity and began twisting the rope.

At the start of the round, Jiang Yang tossed the sniper rifle to Tang Tang.

He was on fire today, so he didn't feel like using a sniper rifle.

After losing two consecutive long-range rifle rounds, C9's economy officially collapsed, forcing them to play an eco round.

In this round, apart from sh1r0 taking down the Desert Eagle and getting revenge for tearing apart the sniper rifle, none of the other C9 members managed to make a name for themselves.

Unsurprisingly, they won this point.

In the CSBOY livestream, as the match entered another rifle round, Ma Xixi said, "The score is now 7:1. This is a classic CSGO score that seems to be based on superstition. Falcon is currently in a huge lead. Can C9 capitalize on this superstitious score?"

"sh1r0 also pulled out a sniper rifle in this round. Can he bring rhythm to the team?"

The match started quickly, and Masisi analyzed while looking at the minimap, saying, "C9 managed to take the banana lane several times in a row, but they were pushed back in the mid-game, which made them lose their desire to control the banana lane."

"This point was scored by defending the back post, while the Falcons also gave up control of the banana lane and focused their efforts on the side lanes from the start."

Ma Xixi took a breath. "Is this a pre-planned tactic?"

Jiang Yang followed the group to the VIP area.

This brief moment is the time to make a link to A, and to execute a pre-planned tactic for the second time.

Device is holding a sniper rifle and pointing it at the barrel at the terrorist's spawn point; he currently has an AK47 in his hand.

According to the device's calculations, the opponent most likely has an AWP. Therefore, Jiang Yang, under VIP, did not directly peek into the middle lane, but instead used a spinning jump to scout.

"--boom!"

sh1r0 calmly aimed the sniper rifle, but still didn't expect Jiang Yang to use a spinning jump to try and fire a shot, but missed.

"Sh1r0 tried to find an opportunity with the sniper rifle. My cousin is very knowledgeable. He has now found out the location of the sniper rifle. Sh1r0 originally planned to go back to B, but now he stayed in the gap of the connecting arch frame, intending to make full use of the sniper rifle."

Having located the sniper's position, Huxi didn't hesitate: "Come over here and gather, let's rush A."

“JKS, go to A2 to provide support, the main force will put pressure on the link, NIKO, can you make a silent contact from the front?” After considering it, Breath chose to trust NIKO’s pre-aiming.

It's not that bomb-based map control is too expensive, but rather that silent engagements are more cost-effective.

Silent contact allows them to penetrate deeper, providing more room for maneuver.

There's only one AWPer right there in the link. If NIKO can take down sh1r0 in one shot, the enemy's A point will basically collapse, and they won't even have a chance to retake it.

"Okay, just follow my lead and finish off the enemies."

NIKO was in good form today and responded immediately to the breathing requirements.

Holding an AK47, he led the way, quietly feeling his way forward. He first peeked through the corner of the link, then slowly advanced to the corner. He then adjusted his posture and began a mysterious ritual on the wall.

Peek to the left and crouch down.

"boom!"

"--boom!"

sh1r0 killed NIKO with an AWP.

"He's not dead even with a head wound, he only has one drop of blood left!!" NIKO shouted urgently.

He successfully aimed and fired first; he even saw tracer rounds emerge from the other person's head. He was quite speechless that the other person hadn't died.

Jiang Yang followed closely behind to finish off the attacker, but sh1r0 ran much faster than he had expected.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy," Jiang Yang thought, and instead of pursuing them further, he launched a smoke bomb at the archway.

Breathing shouted in the voice chat: "I gave the study room a cigarette, let's just drop the link and sandwich it from A1 and A2!"

His decision was quite decisive. Since the intention of link A had been discovered, he would pretend that there were still people in the link, making the CT at point A feel like they were attacked from both sides.

Then concentrate firepower and advance towards buildings A1 and A2 together.

Jiang Yang, holding an AK, followed the main force forward. As the bomber at the large pit was sped up and a wave of bombs from Area A came in a mighty torrent.

"No one left the link; the main force came directly from buildings A1 and A2!"

"Ah Le had already prepared the smoke grenade in the pit, throwing it directly to extinguish the fire and create a one-way smoke effect. Ah Le was able to unleash his full power inside the pit!"

When Jiang Yang heard the fire extinguishing smoke explode, his attention was focused on the direction of the crater. As soon as he was silenced, he immediately moved sideways and fired a barrage of shots at the crater.

His strategy was sound, but he didn't manage to get a single kill.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang rushed into the bun shop without hesitation.

The breathing tactic had already worked at this moment. When he moved into the bomb site, he saw that InterZ in position six was still wary of the link. Jiang Yang grabbed him from the side and killed him.

Just then, JKS from the A2 floor stepped out and caught sh1r0, who was rushing out of the study through the smoke.

sh1r0, who was already low on health, ventured out of the study, only to be taken down as soon as he gained vision.

However, Jiang Yang and JKS were both looking for their own goals and temporarily neglected to guard against the pit.

This gave Ale from the pit an opportunity to unleash his power, and he stood on the pit's bicycle and began to attack wildly.

"Da da da!!"

Ax1Le used an M4A1 to headshot and kill JKS.

[Ax1Le used an M4A1 to kill young through smoke]

"My cousin and JKS both got kills, but Ah Le played like a dragon in the pit. He's already got three kills. Is there a fourth one?"

When Ah Le ran out of bullets, he immediately got off the bicycle in the ditch to reload.

While reloading, he noticed that only device's avatar was lit up on the other side.

He breathed a brief sigh of relief.

Young and Niko had been playing exceptionally well, and they really had no chance against them.

Now, he and sh1r0 have finally dealt with these two monsters.

The score was exactly 7-1, that magical score.

Ah Le felt it was time to turn the tide!
Just then, a sniper shot rang out from A1, and an AWP bullet pierced through the wall of the crater and went straight through his chest.

[device+young used an AWP to kill Ax1Le by passing through walls]

"device arrived late but finished off the enemy. He quickly went to the bomb site and planted the bomb. He had his familiar sniper rifle. As a former top human player, can he win this 1v2 situation?"

The device entered the packet point and selected to place a security packet.

Just then, Jiang Yang heard the other side's footsteps: "Two in the middle lane, they should be heading towards A1."

Device nodded to indicate that he understood, and then he stood near the second box and set up a familiar angle.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent used a flashbang, he turned on the sniper scope.

He patiently held it up and soon saw the CT scanner moving within his field of vision.

But the device didn't fire at all.

As a former human limit, the device's sniper rifle style is neither as flashy as the S1mple nor as transparent as the Zaiwu.

He is known more for his steady and reliable nature.

He was the strongest sniper in 18 and 19.

Device just wanted to laugh at the other party's little tricks.

After failing to bait out device's sniper rifle despite his repeated feints, hobbit opted to accelerate to the maximum and strafe to the right.

But just as he exposed a little more of his body, the device finally pulled the trigger.

The bullet struck hobbit squarely in the stomach, taking his life.

The device also moved quickly backward around the two boxes, and then came to the back of the two boxes and the pillar, where it placed the hay cart to pass through a gap.

Nafany threw a flashbang upwards and continued the pursuit.

Seeing this, Device didn't hesitate to abandon his gun position, took a step back, and jumped onto a box at the dead spot, using the special cover to avoid the flashbang.

Knowing that device was holding a sniper rifle, nafany also tried to move around, constantly pulling and tugging at the cover, and even did a spinning jump.

But device was completely focused at the moment and didn't care about nafany's swaying.

As the C4 ticked, the scales of victory gradually tipped in the Falcon's favor. Nafany finally stepped onto the hay wagon from behind and peeked once more.

Device calmly maneuvered the hay cart past the mark, and even when he suddenly saw Nafany peek over the hay cart, he simply flicked his crosshair upwards.

"--boom!"

[device killed nafany using an AWP]

After winning the game, Device simply smiled coolly, without being overly flamboyant, just like always.

On the other side of the stage.

On the C9 players' bench.

Ah Le clutched his head in anguish.

He never imagined the endgame would turn out this way.

He originally thought that with NIKO and Young both dead, they could finally get a second point and perhaps use this mysterious score to launch a counterattack.

But who would have thought that after the two older brothers were all dead, device stepped up again to show off a set of sniping skills.

When will you Falcon guys ever stop?
